Hi Everyone,

I wanted to let everyone know that after months and month of debating, I finaly had the courage to install CyanogenMod on my Samsung Galaxy Ace. So far (a day) it works great. I used the instructions under the following link:

Install CM10.1 on Samsung Galaxy Ace [Android 4.2.1]

I will update in a couple of days, after I was able to play around with it a little bit.

God bless,

Hi El Presidente,

first I want to metion that the Android version that I installed is 4.2.2. I remember getting the image from here. After a day I decided to install it and I used the instructions from the first website I mentioned.

As for the OS itself, it works great. It runs smoother than I thought. Every now and then it has it's loading times, but I had that with the official rom also.
A huge thing that is either not working or only I didn't get it to work ext partition with Link2SD. Link2SD mentions "Error mounting partition" and if I want to clean up the partition it mentions /data/sdext2 mount not found. If anyone knows a fix for that I would be greatful, since honestly I don't have room for too many apps, and I am not talking about games, but important ones that I need.

Concerning just the ROM, I like it, it runs smoothly and feels great.

God bless,

Hi ayush29k,

thanks for the response. Believe you me, I looked into these forums but I couldn't find a solution, that is exactly why I wrote this problem here. I started a new thread with this problem, since this one should be just about the experience with installing cm10.1.

This is my second day with cm10.1. I have to say that I feel it running smoother than on the first day. So far I love the cpu overclocking feature. I haven't gone over 800 MHz but I raised the minimum a bit and that works great (goes up to 998 MHz). If anyone tried this and was successful, please mention

THANK YOU SO MUCH AYUSH29K!!!
I didn't think the rom was at fault but it was. I found the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212438
There are a couple of roms there to be tried but the one I downloaded was:

2013-06-26
Version with SuperSU - susu-cm-10.1.0-GT-S5830-cooper++.zip
(md5: a1076782794a4915487f32add4c7a741)

Thanks again for your help. I hope posting the links to the thread will help others too. I will update in a couple of days with more info, but for now it seems to work. I was able to install more apps this time after setting Link2SD up.

 

Hi Everyone,

I have been playing around for two more days with the new rom and so far I love it. I was able to install all the apps I used to have and they all work great.

A problem I had was with the CPU frequency. If I set the maximum over 800 MHz, the phone acts weird and then doesn't turn on out of standby. I set the minimum higher tho and that seems to help alot. I am running my phone now between 672 and 800 MHz.

Hope to hear from others about their experience.

My battery is stable with my settings. Can you elaborate on SmartassV2?

 

Oh, what a fan I am of the sentence "google it" in a forum. That, and "Why would you want to do that!?". But thanks alot ayush29k for pointing it out.

I found the setting in the performance menu. I setup the CPU as you mentioned, hope this helps.
