I have a samsung galaxy ace GT-S5830L running android 2.3.4. Can some one direct me to how i would be able to root my phone?
Guys you are making things complicated.
Rooting is the most simplest of things. I am assuming you all have gingerbread, if not, then upgrade to it.
You just have to download a .zip file, put it in your sd card, open recovery and click update zip from sd card. Done!!

How to root Samsung Galaxy Ace on Froyo & Gingerbread Ace Tips
Thanks for the link. Easiet method to use for access to root that I've seen. Done it just now, used app quarantine to freeze system apps I don't use and I've unrooted again. Performance is up and it's easily reversible. Thanks again mate.
Is the RAM you're talking about the value given in the Running Services bit or the stock Task Manager? In Running Services mine with no apps running seems to be around 130-135.. so I'm guessing yours is the Running Services value too. My phone does seem to be a little quicker today, no screen lag, although that could just be wishful thinking.
I think the apps might not be hidden in Espier as it's set up differently, as in there's no app draw, so all icons just appear on the screens. (I used Go Launcher for months but the tiny 5 dock icons always bugged me.)
I'm wondering now whether any stock apps can be completely uninstalled to make more space, but I guess that's a little bit more risky than just freezing them.
I'm in Gingerbread 2.3.6, Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830L and neither of the upd_1.zip or AceGingerRoot.zip works for me.
Result:
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I'm going to revive this thread because like everyone else with a GT-S5830L who's posted to this thread, rooting with methods mentioned here fails for me. I've been at it for 3 days now, and always get that "E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip"same but i'm in 2.3.4, i've tried everything, but it still won't work
can anyone help
