Not really. Lg optimus one w/c is cheaper than galaxy ace has its own section and has tons of custom roms and kernels. I think they base it on how the popular the phone is and how many uses it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] xperiaatic:
optimus one has been on market little longer too and because of that of course has more going on with it already. i am pretty sure that ace's development takes off soon. even budget phone like galaxy 3 has it's own section so i see no reason why ace should be left out.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shad0wboss:
Also depends, how many devs have adopted the phone and want to work on that specific phone...I think devs should request for a new section rather than normal people.

Guys, can you suggest good application to optimize the Samsung Galaxy Ace performance. And to answer the problems such as: how to prolong the battery life of Galaxy Ace, how to extend and install more applications and games, how to make it still fast and responsive. At least 10 guys. Thanks!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vertcam9:
As far as i can tell, HD won't work, i have tried to download HD games from the Android Market and my phone (ACE) is not in the compatibility list, so i cant download it.

I'll go for the ACE (but this is a bias opinon, coz i own an Ace) :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Petrovski80:
Just successfully rooted my Ace with SOC 1.7. Installed titanium backup pro, upgraded busybox, and backed up nearly everything from my phone to SD card (which I periodically sync with my computer).

Sometimes you just love Android, and the people who create excellent tools for it. :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kmetek:
what is all about SOC 1.7 being trojan?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] majedev:
SOC uses two famous exploits to root Android, namely rageagainstthecage (For Android <= 2.2) and psneuter (For Android 2.2.1). As a matter of fact, these are Trojans used for the higher good (to install root access, and control it using SuperUser). This doesn't mean that they can't be misused somehow (someone actually did).
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kmetek:
yeah but is it safe to download to PC and exclude in AV?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] majedev:
Well, if you downloaded it from a trusted source, and you have faith in XDA developers, then yes :)

Help! How to install applications via pc

Guys, can you give me a step by step procedure on how to install applications and games via pc. Please? I don't have wifi at home. I only have a computer. And as I see at the android market, there is an install button. So if I plug my Galaxy Ace to my pc, what will it prompt or do? And after that, I click install and will it automatically install to my phone? Please! I need your help guys. Thank you! :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vertcam9:
i successfully rooted my phone, using Windows Vista .Net 4, i was finished in less than a minute.

But how to use the Superuser program? :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kmetek:
ESET SMART SECURITY won't let me :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Petrovski80:
With SuperUser you can manage the applications that ask for root rights (for instance TitaniumBackup, Droidwall, SetCPU, etc). As soon as an application asks for root rights, SuperUser will detect it and present you the option to allow or deny it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Petrovski80:
AFAIK you cannot use Kies as an interface between the Android Market and ur phone the way you want it. The only 'store' available in Kies is Samsung's own app store. You can use Kies to transfer individual .apk files of course, but that's not what you mean I suspect.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Petrovski80:
Do not set your AV to 'automatically clean/remove threats'. If you do, the exploit needed for root will be removed upon detection. Instead, set it to the option where the user may decide the action upon detection. Then, when it detects the rageagainstthecage / psneuter files and prompts for action, decide to create an exception. Happy rooting!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] bokee21:
guys, thank God i found this site. ok here goes. I just bought my samsung galaxy ace a month ago. and decided to root it this day. so i managed to root it. and setcpu was working fine. I searched youtube for a custom rom so that I can go overboard the maximum cpu clock which is 800mhz. in the youtube video, he said to backup my data on rom manager. so when i was backing it up, it froze on me and turned dead. now i can't turn it on. please someone help. i can't give it back to the store now. :| pleasee. :( it's so hard to lose a new phone that's new to me. any replies WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vrl29:
i agree and believe that there is currently no known configuration or step to be able to USE samsung kies to transfer content from Android Market to the phone.

sir, i admire your courage in maximizing the phone's potential, however, i think you missed some important items here like:

there is no bug-free custom ROM for the galaxy ace as of the moment

there is a known issue with ROM manager for Galaxy Ace that (you guessed it) bricks the phone upon use

i'm afraid that you might have to turn the phone over for warranty...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] alvinbam2728:
i agree with you sir :D just use your warranty for now dont worry they wont know if its bricked because of the rom manager just tell them some stories like you factory reset your phone then after reboot it didnt respond anymore :D just like what happened to me this morning and now im waiting for my replacement.

Remove you're phone battery and try again.....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Petrovski80:
APK files are indeed packed android programs. This is what you download from Android Market with your device. You cannot download from Android Market directly to ur pc. Using Android Market via web to 'install' an app from there, will simply send it to your device via mobile internet or wifi. It will

not

download an .apk to ur pc.

If you really want this, there is a workaround but costs you quite some configuring:

It'll be easier to get yourself a wifi router or simply use your mobile internet to get apps.

Anyone also experience battery meter updating problems ?

Lets say u are using the phone for 30 min, but the battery will stuck at 80%.

Then u go into sleep mod and pressing the home button about 30 min later and the battery is suddenly at 68 %

how to solve that ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] guika:
Same problem in galaxy s. Read battery drain topic.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Natascha303:
mhh im not sure if it's really a draining problem... the main thing is the huge "jumps" the battery doesnt count down 1 or by 2 % steps ... it jumps 5-10% gaps ! thats really annoying cause u never know how full your battery actually is :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] guika:
Ok than try to calibrate your battery.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Natascha303:
cant delete, wipe battery stats without root :(

Q:

have you got really no problems with your ACE ?

I mean, does the battery really count down by each per cent ?

Just happend again here... used it hard vor about 20 min and battery still at lets say 60 %, no count down to 58 %, what it has to!

And suddenly it dropped to 52 % ... so there is a 8 % GAP down. That is what i call a bad battery meter, never had this on the Galaxy S
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Natascha303:
and to your Q

i dont think there is any SAVE method to root and unlock the ACE -yet

just released, give the phone 1-2 months here on the xda, im sure then there are also roms.

just for a info, you can buy the ace unlocked at amazon germany for 269 EUR

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] eddiexda:
Hey guys, just letting you guys know that the "confirmed" RAM of 278 MB seems to be incorrect.

The correct "spec" amount should be 320 MB according to my calculations.

The phone does have 278 MB of RAM available to the user in the task manager menu but it's real amount is higher.

For example the Galaxy Tab has 448 MB of RAM available to the user in the task manager but we all know that the specs for the Galaxy Tab indicate that it has 512 MB of RAM.

The Milestone's spec indicate 256 MB of RAM, yet only 226 MB is available to the user.

What this means is that around 12% to 13% of the RAM is reserved by the system for various reasons which I'm not qualified enough to explain. Plus it wouldn't make sense for Samsung to add a 22 MB RAM chip which I don't think exists. 256 MB + 64 MB = 320 MB seems more likely since 64 MB chips do exist.

You can check the RAM available to the user by using the task manager or quick system info.

Hope this clarifies the RAM issue :)

Hi Guys,

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 2ma:
not, the android market website pushes the install through the internet onto your phone. the only way to install something on your phone without internet on it, is that if you have the .apk file, what is the android program itself.

i don't know if you can download the .apk files from the market,but i don't think so. just get internet on your phone, it's much easier.

i have a samsung galaxy ace s5830 mobile. i have not yet activated the GPRS on it. Still i get an 'E' sign on top of the screen with 2 arrows facing up and down on either side of the 'E' sign. i dont know what it is or means but i am unable to remove or disable it.

Can ne1 tell wat it is and how to remove. also does it mean that something is contnously being downloaded by the phone without knowledge

Secondly i want to know how to connect the phone in MASS STORAGE DEVICE mode. there is know option in it unlike the Samsung Wave (which also i have) where it is simple to access and change.

Lastly... the battery life of the phone is verrrrry small. on a full night charge the phone barely survives the day (and that too without listening to songs or radio or nething) and again it asks to charge the next night. Does it have nething to do with the 'E' sign i talked about above.

===========

Here are some tips to conserve battery power

1. Go to Settings > Account and Sync > untick Background Data (this will keep gmail and/or facebook to sync from time to time)

2. Go to Settings > Display > Brightness (mine is set to the lowest, and is still looks good)

3. Go to Settings > Wireless and Network Settings > Mobile Network > un-tick Use packet data (select it only when you inted to connect to mobile internet)

>> Select Use 2G Network (since HSDPA/3G network consumes much battery)

4. Always use back button, this usually close the program and avoid programs running in background.

5. From time to time, Clear Ram

6. Avoid using Live Wallpapers that as too much animation, it consumes battery

7. Since it is a new phone, you usally play with it, hence the battery life.

Enjoy, hope i was helpful :)
