It is indeed a very good phone for it's price 

I don't know if it's for all android phones, but as far as I know, almost all android-based phones can be rooted    ( someone correct me if i got this wrong )

Depending on what kind of app you use.
Browsers can be around 2 ~ 5 mb ? The browser I use is around 2.5+ mb , just to give you some ideas 
Games can really vary from <1 mb ~ 30 mb ? 
As for the rest...They don't usually take up alot of space.

But if you install alot then it's a different story.

Oh and, SGA has relatively low internal memory, only around 130mb+ to spare when it's fresh ( someone verify this for me ? i forgot ). The rest is taken up by the OS and pre-installed apps.

The latest OS for this phone would be the leaked Gingerbread version 2.3.3 ( S5830XXKPE )

Official one would be S5830XXKC1. ( can be obtained from Samsung Kies ) This one is Froyo version 2.2.1.

Hope this helps ! 

Hi all, I would like to ask, how to make the clock show when the phone is sleep/screen black out?
I had accidently made that but now don't know how to do that again... lol Any idea?

ran into a problem here. I need to use froyo back. the GB experience is kinda bad for me. i swype a lot n swype on GB is unbearable! okay, here's the low down, i downloaded ddkc1 firmware from samfirmware and all i got is

amss
boot.img
csc.rfs
recovery.img
system.rfs

it says here that I need to use Odin, fine. OPS file also got from samfirmware, but then, for boot, phone, PDA and CSC they only accept .tar or .md5 type files only whereas the ones I have are those above. I tried loading them manually, but Odin said "invalid model binary" should I just run it or can I not revert back to froyo now? help pls

thanks a bunch bugeca! u just made a dude tap dancing for 1 full hour man!

bro wanna ask...coz i also wanna change back 2 froyo...
where do u find da OPS in samfirmware??

The Gingerbread upgrade news shocked me! More info about it, head over here.

After Samsung release the firmware for Asia, how those flashed with beta firmware 1?
Hope samfirmware.com will hold that of us too.

well, kies cd comes in region, that's one thing i can think csc is used for. one more, it could determine what kind of apps u can ownload from market and how the market behaves is quite influenced by csc. i'm talking about market as in apps, not market "business market". I'm glad it worked!

hi bugeca...
can u explain a little bit bout the CSC n where to find it for SEA CSC?
coz ive search in SGS1 but cant find it...
how to  change CSC to Nordic region?

really? I had the initial thought that by upgrading to leak GB our local Kies will not update our phone, won't even read our phone or something, not really true then is it? ooooo.. but no, i love swyping in bm and i think i'm gonna keep it that way. if i only use english then it would be fine to change it to another region just to get GB.

bugeca, GB is already rolled out is it? i got a feeling that u r implying nordic region have their GB already. ^^ then we'll have ours in no time!!!

I can't update to new firmware KC1, it keeps showing "Downloading" and the progress is 0% after 1 hour.
Had try many times and yet still the same...

anyone having this problem? Please advise me....thanks

Note: The Kies version is the latest one.

Lol. Your guess is correct. Maybe I need to shave bald dy! Hahahaha.
It's annoying lah!!! I see my sister's galaxy 5 have this function and to unlock the screen will have to double tap it. I asked her then she says it comes with the phone. So thought maybe got an app for it. Hehe.

guys...
1.)
is there any apps dat can remove the default 4 button at the bottom of galaxy ace?
Call - Contact - Message - application

2.)is there any apps dat i can modify my typing tones when using the dial pad??
i saw iphone have it...how about android ??

anyone faced "Unknown" caller when somebody on your contact list or others called?
tried factory reset few time, result still same
is it phone problem or Digi problem, i just convert from normal postpaid to Digi Smart Plan on Tuesday

any recommended apps to receive notification light when receive msg or miscall?

erm anywhere? maybe on the keypad or something..just any flash light or something that notifies you..or does ace really don't support this function at all?

i tried noled..but don't really know how to activate the notification icon on the home screen for whatsapp

thx for the news..  hopping for ext2/ext4 support later 

i dun understand about csc, do we really need flash it together? what is it for if i do?

oh tq, i think i dun need it since given CSC_S5830SERKPE_CL185571_REV03_user_mid_true.tar.zip‎ is for russia..

Mine also got blue sticker.....
By the way, does anyone know whether is there any launcher available in internet that has the grey colour curve bar at the bottom of the screen like the one in htc sense? It doesnt need to be exact, look kinda similar will do   and also dont require rooting

Why my extra installed widget won't run after i restarted my SGA phone?

Some widget like battery indicator, System Info Widget won't run after i restart my SGA.

Why?!?!?! Please HELP.

Thank you!

now came out "Failed to launch, No activity defined for launcher!"
