nice..love the vga recording support..

Not sure.
Never heard of diamond sp before.

Normal type is sufficient to protect your phone.
If you need anti fingerprint, then go for matte type.

hi minmin...don't stop the update! more info... any change to the internal memory?

any good pdf reader for this Ace?

ThinkFree Office that come with SGA can open pdf file. If u want, u can download Adobe Reader.

Nice job minmin.....
Don't forget to teach us how to upgrade to gingerbread.....

You need Odin to flash it. Does not matter which ROM are you currently use and KIES won't work since this is leak XX region ROM.

Since there is no DX region ROM available in the Internet, if you wanted to go back to stock DX region ROM, at the moment only SME service centre can do that.

hello all!
if you want to upgrade to ginger bread you will need to give up the stock rom, as i dont find it on the internet.

i dont mind to flash to european version as it has everything i need. (just that do not have BM/Chinese pre installed)

1.the moving of screen and menu is obviously faster
2.the ram its slightly (just little) higher usage than previously
3.the camcorder is great now! 640x320
4.enhance menu for better grouping and easy navigation
5.battery usage is better (but i haven't feel this)
6.copy paste function enhanced, and its easier to use now
7. icon change, color in notification, the short cut button are different in notification

so far thats all for now.

anyone would like to taste the gingerbread first hand
can go to this link, (register an account first)

cant we back up the stock rom with anything if something goes wrong?
so is this gingerbread rom official from Samsung or ported from other phones?
noob here

bro, dont forget to give us the feedback,
how is it for daily use,
is there any bugs?
planning to flash it but scared id brick my phone ,
first android phone..

so far half day usage no lag/no bug.
very sastisfy

i bet this firmware is a leak from the coming official 2.3 firmware for europe region, might be samsung developer purposely leak out to check the feedback from usage.


so no doubt the galaxy ace will very soon has a official gingerbread release. (european first and than only asian, weeks/months of waiting time la )

helo every1,planning to get a SGA... was reading for the past more than 10 pages... is this SOD problem so frequently occur? i understand if this SOD occur,removing battery is the only way to reboot the phone so does this affect the phone? i mean spoil the hardware/software/memory/etc... n i notice a lot mention about the rooting of the phone... so wat the advantage n disadvantage of rooting? sry,still new to android system...

what's the different between the europe n asia region firmware?
is there any significant difference that can effect the usability here?

not much different
mainly is language

let say malaysian stock firmware, the system language might have BM/Chinese preinstalled

but the european one might have english/french/spanish/turkist/etc preinstalled.

it doesnt matter because i use english.

Owh really r,
if only different in languages,
then its not gonna be a problem,
cos i also use english..

btw lets say there got bugs in the firmware,
how to revert back to stock rom?

how is the wifi and gps working for u,
i read in xda someone flash this firmware and cannot get the wifi working,
and the gps is rather slow than the stock one..

hello there, i just downloaded the firmware and after i extracted it, i found out there is only Bootloader, Amss, CSC and OPS files
inside which means the PDA file is missing, and i found a zipped file
but when i extracted it, i dont find any PDA file inside !! how ?? * i downloaded from the same source as yours

only extract one time..
than can start to load those files.
the zipped file (.tar) no need to unzip...just load it..

Since there is no DXxxx firmware available in Samfirmware, then you have to revert to any 2.2.1 ROM. Same method, different file only.

thanks for the info ^^

by the way did you root it already ??

have you reinstalled all your previous apps and still find it smooth?
I mean everytime I factory reset it always feels like butter but after loading a few apps and widgets it starts to bog a little. Not sure if Gingerbread has extra butter in the baking lol...

I not face any SOD after 2 month use.
