Hello everyone,
My wife has Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 and after JB 4.1.2 update the phone is very slow. It lags like hell so asking help from you guys. She does not need any fancy ROM loaded with ton of customization options, just simple, fast rom. Doesn't matter if it is JB or GB.
GPS and 3G/WIFI should work well, because shes using it for navigation sometimes The BEST would be tweaked and fast 4.1.2 JB stock rom if this is possible Or nevermind, every peace faster than this would be great.
Please suggest me something. What rom should i choose? Phone is:
Mode: GT-I8160
Android version: 4,1,2
Baseband: I8160XXMF1
Kernel: 3,0,31-1106830 #2
Build number: JZO54K.I8160XXMF1
THANK YOU!!

For the lagg and force closing, go to applications > active processes and see how much ram it reads. If that says 482, then u need to apply this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389395 trick. chances are all will be smooth after that.
If u fancy the extra's, you should go with Kyrillosv8.
or you can flash MG2 via odin, I find that a tad more stable than MF1 (again apply the patch linked to above if u end up with 482 MB RAM then.)
Lastly, flashing D-kernel will speed things up and increase stability as well.

Okey now, i did the first thing, flashed V1 624 memory file via ODIN, everything went great, phone seems a bit faster. Now i am trying to flash D-kernel via stock recovery, but it says this: E:signature verification failed. Phone is not rooted. What can i do? Thanks.
And another question, i saw supercharger is made for this phone. It is worth flashing it for SPEED?

First flash this from the stock recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141395
then flash D-kernel from that CWM recovery.
Thank you for this helpful thread. I was looking exactly for the same fix to my phone. I could apply both the RAM fix and the Kyrillos mod successfully but unfortunately I ran into a bootloop after I have applied the D-Kernel patch. Since I am not experienced, I am wondering if:
a) I did something wrong
b) Kyrillos already patched the D-Kernel
c) if my D-Kernel patch was not compatible (buggy file or not compatible with Kyrillos)
Now I have flashed back XMF1 since I did not know how to fix my bootloop. How can I successfully apply D-Kernel to achieve the desired performance?
Regards,
Quentin

@Hummer951 solved this issue with the right patch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46456493&postcount=2
However, the performance is still not really convincing. Would you recommend to apply further tweaks like liquid speed or PurePerformances™X?

Hey all,
Here's a custom ROM based on XWJV1 with a focus on speed and stability. Nothing too special; it's just a stock, unthemed, deodexed, optimized Gingerbread BETA ROM with some minor modifications.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a BETA ROM running on a BETA KERNEL, so I don't recommend installing this ROM if you're afraid of breaking your device / don't know how to use ADB / get upset when your phone crashes. This ROM is smooth, sleek, and looks damn good too, however, again, this is a BETA ROM, so there are going to be bugs on any ROM based on JV1. Don't complain.
Features:
Voodoo Gingerbread Beta Kernel
Based on Stock Gingerbread Beta XWJV1
Fully deodexed and zipaligned
Fixed build.prop, permissions for launch_GPS, as well as many other minor file tweaks
Removed Samsung Bloatware
Removed Startup + Shutdown sounds
Fully updated Google Apps + Swype
Gingerbread screen-off animation (Very cool. )
Removed Apps:
-Allshare, Press Reader, Aldiko eBook, Buddies Now, Layar, Mini Diary, Write and Go
Added apps:
-Launcher Pro, Gingerbread Launcher, Gingerbread Keyboard
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/YFJTDTFVD0
Installation Instructions:
Flash from CWM after disabling all lagfixes. If you don't know how to install a ROM you shouldn't be using this one.
Have you got the new tweak by nickadeamus or whatever his name is?
Hi.
Just downloading will give a try.

Just for the record, I bricked my i9000 GT. The bootloader gets messed up and I am now downloading a complete ROM to flash from heimdall.

Don't scare everyone man, your bootloaders are fine, your /system got corrupted resulting in a bootloop.
Corrupted bootloaders would mean either complete brick, or no 3BR
hi seearms just downloaded rom and installed jl2 modem everything fine so far, but time will tell. i was on ultibread when i came to yours so it was an easy transfer
Switched from a fresh stock 2.2, strangely i got the glitched screen when trying to enter recovery. Any suggestions? I see advice to flash boot.bin but I've not flashed JV1 prior to this so it can't be a bootloader problem.
Thanks.
Just wondering can this be installed from cwm if your current rom is froyo?
Ready to Test Drive
Really Eager to Try this ROM

To install ultibread I flashed jv1 via odin, then unchecked auto reboot and flashed a hardcore kernel pulled the battery, rebooted into CWM and flashed ultibread as a zip from the sdcard . Should be the same procedure here, good luck!
I've been running your rom since yesterday and so far it's great with the JL2 modem. Highly recommended thus far...stable and fast like u said and even faster after enabling lagfix

Flash JV1 via Odin first, I believe it's the secondary boot loader in non-JV1 ROMs which causes screen tearing in recovery.

Good job seeARMS! I am going to wait a bit for and update before I jump in to this one as my i9000m is running so bloody fast on Darky's Extreme v9.3 that I don't want to mess with it. hahaha
I am going to try it though. I support you and your roms.

Technically Nikadeamus said that it "may" work on GB but hasn't tested it.
EDIT: Some users with JV1 claimed to have noticed only a slight improvement if any at all. However, it may just be plain old placebo at work.
Hello and thank you for taking your time in reading, I will start by letting you know my samsung captivate glide is already rooted, android version 4.0.4 and stock kernel 3.1.10-I927ICLJ3-CL970642, now I found this wonderful thread in the development forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892538
mostly im interested in having more available RAM, but it does have a lot of good perks, after reading thru all 32 pages I could not find instruction on how to flash a kernel so here are my questions.
1) how do i flash a new kernel on my phone ?
2) Do i need to flash a rom as well or can i keep the stock ICS with the new kernel ?
Download and install clockworkmod .. the rest will make sense after that

Oh I forgot to mention I already have clockwork mod
not sure if you can keep the stock rom with the kernel (bone stock.) I don't see why not ... I used Dman's UCLJ3 pre-rooted rom and flashed litekernel onto it so you should be able to.
in CWM, install zip from sdcard, browse to your download folder on your phone and install it.
MAKE SURE you do a full backup first so you can revert if something doesn't pan out.

ty yohan, i see that flashing a kernel is pretty much the same as flashing a rom, I like the stock rom, how stable is Dman's ?
There's crashing issues with his AOKP lockscreen version but it could be because I installed thegreatergoods litekernel. So if you're going to download the pre-rooted debloaded deodex. etc etc.. go with the one that doesn't have the lockscreen. the 14 toggles mod will work and can be configured by quickpanel settings in apps.
One thing that shouldn't be overlooked is ICE Pop, it has a themed dialer (big plus) ... Thegreatergoods literom will be good as well, but personally I dont like the cyan and yellow colors in the messaging app.
I flashed the kernel with success but after testing it for a week I decided to go back to stock, tho speeds were amazingly fast the device was alot more unstable and I couldent handle all the crashes and reebots

Hello everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-l8160. After upgrading to JB experience with the phone was much worse than with GB. Then i decided to tweak it a little, so i did that trick with Odin to get 628mb RAM and installed D-Kernel to speed things up. After that, phone was quite faster but still i had MUCH better experience with GB rom and i would rather downgrade the phone to 2.3.8.
Is there anyone who could make a guide or something? My phone firmware STOCK is I8160XXMF1 (Baltic, SEB).
And as i mentioned there is D-Kernel installed in Stock rom and the phone is not rooted.
Thanks for help!

Hi all,
I have done the following on my Galaxy Ace 2 i8160 (with official JB update):
- applied RAM patch (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389395)
- patched Kyrillos mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955679)
- applied D-Kernel patch (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171054)
The latter put my phone into a bootloop, stuck at the first screen (with the Galaxy Ace II etc). Since I did not made a backup of my kernel with CWM before, I had to put XMF1-DBT with Odin to restore a working system. Afterwards, I have tried to apply the D-Kernel patch again and now the bootloop is back, stuck at the second screen (animated Samsung logo).
What did I wrong? Or is the D-Kernel patch broken/buggy? Unfortunately I cannot discuss this in the official developer thread since I am new to this forum. What can I do in order to have this D-Kernel patched? I absolutely want to apply it since it is the only fix that is supposed to bring decent performance to the Galaxy Ace 2.
Thanks. Cheers,
Quentin

That one installs fine, thanks! Unfortunately I cannot see what it contains compared to the latest version published in this thread. And performance increase is difficult to measure/assess... But anyway, I can say to myself that I did everything available to improve my i8160 performance.

The one you have flashed is the latest version for stock JB and will have all the features in the OP. The latest version is only for Cyanogenmod Roms and is not compatible with stock roms.
Hey guys,
I'm looking to upgrade my mum's stock phone.
I previously updated her phone via this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915386
But it seems that the dev is no longer active on that font.
From what I can see on Sammobile the latest FW is:
N7100XXUEMK9
Which is for a UK - BTU phone.
My mum is currently on:
N7100XXDME6_N7100OXXDME2_N7100XXDME4_BTU
Thus ME6 based on 4.1.2.
I was thinking of putting her on 4.3.
I don't want to wipe her phone, nor want her to have any problems - thus I want to leave her on as STOCK as possible.
Just rooted is a privilege (or else I can manually root it somehow) - I only use root on her phone to TB backup - just in case all goes pear shaped.
The reason I want to leave her on stock - is in case she has problems whilst I'm away + she doesn't really need any fancy features or kernels that allow her to OC etc.
I also thought to ask before going in blindly and upgrading her phone.
I'm not at all in the help with the Note2 roms. Thus would appreciate some help in that respect.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi I suggest installing this 4.3 ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595963
It is pre-rooted Stock ROM, one of the latest releases from Samsung. I run it myself, smooth and flawless. No bells or whistles.
But first I suggest you upgrade her bootloader via PC Odin to MJ5, which you will find link in DRKetan's thread, for his V6 ROM. This will ensure no FC or wifi problems.
Best of luck mate

Yes wifi patch is an option if using an older bootloader. I used it for a while but encountered some app FC, freezing of the phone. After upgrading to MJ5 bootloader, all problems went away.
