ICS for galaxy y: Probably we're going in the wrong direction????

Hello everyone, I'm associated with custom roms for sgy. Recently I met a person, who had successfully installed an sgy custom rom in galaxy ace. These two phones are more similar than we ever thought. So, why not the other way around??? Interested devs could actually modify ace ics roms and install it on y, instead of fiddling with galaxy mini????
Fantastic idea, I know, bit not improbable ...Coz I still have the Guy's pm ....

Galaxy y roms can be installed on the galaxy ace i s5380i only by changing dpi and kernel but not on the original ace that uses the qualcomm processor and there is no ics for ace i

no one ever try that but similar method has been done a long time ago for cm7. all running cm7 for sgy is ported from ace. wifi dead, bluetooth dead, graphic buggy, etc.

you might be not aware the problem. here is the analogy. i have two notebook. both have x86 cpu, both have same lcd size and same resolution. my acer one use nvidia gpu and my asus one use ati. i can install windows 7 on both, but i need different set of driver to make both running without issue. and the problem not only for gpu, but almost for everything. the only one component where both can share same driver is cpu.
in phone world the situation event much worse. in pc world we have ibm-pc compatible. none in phone world. different type using different component and different soc. armv6 only cover cpu side. the other side completely different.

yes but drivers are available for your ati gpu, your soundcard..
it will be something like a 'Frankalaxy' yes, but it would definitly be a start!
btw people must be aware of this but anyway here is an article on freeyourandroid/guide/porting-android .com [remove the space pls]
maybe this could help.
and yes the galaxy ace is closer to galaxy y due to generation of production
i.e mini/gio are old phones while ace and y are in the same generation.
Would request someone to try...
I'm from a pure symbian background and still learning android dev so....
would love if someone could lead to me some heads up article

hi everyone, exist a CWM 5 for ace II?

Not yet any news from MIUI ?

Hmm... As you know - some sony smartphones have the same hardware (SoC?) as we have in Ace 2 (Novathor). Those phones have official ICS, and many custom roms (e.g. Xperia U). Is there any use for us? Maybe some source or drivers?

Yes, Samsung will provide an update soon. Regarding CM10.1 you will see nightlies in a week or 2.

You won't see no official updates for a while.. you'll find leaks here and there come up..
Far as CM10.1.. recently posted on their G+ they said that they have 4.2 running smooth on Exynos 4 chips.. not as smooth as Project butter.. but just your normal AOSP build

[Q] How can I install ICS on my Galaxy Ace 2?

Straight to the point; there are millions of guides on how to install ICS and Jelly Bean on the Galaxy Ace first version but not for the Galaxy Ace 2. I must be doing something wrong, because I can't even find one guide...
Heck, I don't even need a guide, just the image/ROM/whatever itself and to know it works. maclaw.pl/?page_id=180 seems to only be for the Galaxy Ace not the Ace 2. Am I overlooking something?
Please point me in the right direction!
Oh, yes and I don't care if it's ICS or Jelly Bean. Whichever works; just don't want a non-functional camera.

There is no 4.0 ICS for ace 2
JB 4.1 will come in January.

Install ICS ? NO WAY
Sent from my GT-I8160 using xda premium

I know there is no official way to upgrade to ICS and Jelly Bean is coming 'soon' but surely there is a way to install Cyanogenmod 9 or 10 on the ace 2. It's sad that mclaw is only developing for the older ace rather than our ace.

I barely just afforded my Ace 2, being a 15 year old off my job with a hosting provider. Only to find there is no ICS. Kinda annoying..
But surely, surely there could be some ROM which could work, like one from another Samsung phone etc. I was going to buy a HTC Explorer but chose the Ace 2 because of the bigger screen, even the Explorer has ICS ROMS and stuff..
Someone out there must have ICS on their Ace 2.
I doubt Samsung will ever release Jelly Bean for the Ace 2, I guess we shall see, January is up in a few hours.

1stly, No there is nobody out there with ICS on their Ace 2 and there won't be for a simple reason. Becuase Jelly bean exists.
And what makes me say that? Since there are rumors about jb coming on our phone, and since it is newer than ICS I doubt anyone will bother developing cm9/ICS, the devs are only looking forward for cm10/JB.
P.S: After all, since building JB has the same success rate as ICS I see no reason in developing ICS, it is inferior.

Well, as it seems he bricked his Ace 2, so he has to post with another phone
@jayesh: If you tried to flash the ICS for the Galaxy ACE (5830) on the Ace 2 its propably tricked. Try to get into download mode and reflash stock rom with odin. If that doesnt work you can still try the USB jig.
Imho that are your only 2 options.

Up until now there wasn't so much of an incentive though, seeing that at best JB would have been a laggy novelty rom that was too heavy to be a daily driver. It's not so much the case now that 4.4 seems to be optimised especially for devices like ours! Maybe devs will be more eager to sink a few weeks more into it!

I'm trying to get GoogleNow home launcher to run on SuperJellyBean (4.1.2), but it won't work, Velvet.apk keeps crashing. Not sure what its missing, but working fine on my MK808 android stick with 4.2.2.

I am no expert or a dev but i think it is highly unlikely that 4.4 grants that much of a performance boost over 4.1+ on the Play

I've done practically nothing except read about KitKat since it was introduced, and I can promise you that performance of this OS will be much higher than any Jelly Bean roms.
The memory footprint required by apps and services has been trimmed by a large amount. Games on the PLAY will no longer run out of ram. There's plenty of documentation on the web right now explaining why this OS would be perfect for devices like the Xperia Play.

Anyway it would be very hard as you would have to make a kernel designed for it which will take some time and you would need to get the touchpads working and edit the build prop
