For the first time i had flashed a phone.
Just flashed a galaxy ace with Cyanogenmod 7.1 [Unofficial] by BehradGH
HOLY SHIT IT SO F@#KING FAST AND SMOOOTHHHHHHH shocking.gif shocking.gif shocking.gif
Its like on a Iphone nod.gif

previously this phone was struggling and really lags to even play angry birds, now its just smooth
like on my galaxy w. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif


I really f#$ked up my gf's phone when i updated her phones firmware from froyo to gingerbread 2.3.4, makes the phone ULTRA LAGS SUPER SNAIL SMALL.
SAMSUNG IS AN IDIOT for releasing this update for ace. vmad.gif


now i dun give a sh*t if ICS ever comes out for galaxy w, cyanogenmod is the way for the future.
no more stupid firmware updates from samsung.


I cant sleep well now until arco68 release a stable version of the CM9 now after what i see it can do.

Guys, I have a problem. Why is it when I charge my phone it takes very long to hit 100% and when it does, the second I unplug my charger it drops to 99% back again. I've tried calibrating my battery but still no luck. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Ur phone no problem, its normal
y u so insist want 100 % har ?

Using Zergrush method no nid go into recovery mode beforehand

gps slow capture - its a limitation of smartphone, need to use gpsfix to log into gps signal first before using papago/sygic. Also need to turn on GSM if want to lock fast. Mine using fasterfix, then everytime use gpsfix first usually will lock within 1 minute

u cant turn it off
there is no option to turn it off
reason : its illegal to do so in some countries

only in custom roms you can have this kind of option

guys, my phone was updated to 2.3.6 just now OTA (on the air), not using Kies.
it did not unroot my phone.
everything is still the same except its smoother and faster


i use root checker and it is confirmed that the root access is untouched.
also i used mybackuppro to freeze many unused system apps, it will not be able to freeze unless with root access


if you want to uograde OTA, just go to Settings >About phone>Software update>Update
make sure u r connected using wifi, u need to download over 15mb of data
i would highly recommend to upgrade, it does make the phone more smoother and faster

Can! Will customize it for you when I have time. Tell me what you need. Err.. I will try, but please dont get mad if I have not got time... the following is on my list at the moment:

1. Remove TourchWiz (not as easy as I think)
2. Compile new kernel with wifi patch (to allow Ah Hoc AP) and OC!
3. Many other small experiments to further reduce memory usage and internal device usage
- next release, i definitely remove fotaclient, etc..]


Added on January 14, 2012, 7:21 pm

by any chance, you try to flash to ROM from other region or back to I8150DXKJ5?


Added on January 14, 2012, 7:22 pm

thanks for always helping me to this the ROM!


Added on January 14, 2012, 7:23 pm

Next step, overclock!  rclxm9.gif

that's good score biggrin.gif

You keep up the good work cow ! ! !

Its already 1.4 Ghz, dunno if this chipset can ov by how much more.
Never try, never know thumbup.gif


Anyway, i really like Touchwiz
its such a great UI
so far i havent found a launcher that is better than Touchwiz
cyanogenmod UI sucks
SPB shell 3D looks great but too fancy and heavy for normal use
ADW launchers are good, but i still like the samsung touchwiz
the UI for my optimus 2x is not as good as Touchwiz too
but Zeam Launcher seems promising laugh.gif


Added on January 14, 2012, 11:27 pmanyone succesfully rooted on 2.3.6 ?


or am i still the only one with a rooted stock 2.3.6 ? hmm.gif
