Ice cream sandwich - Galaxy ace

[parveenbharaj]

Hey everyone I am new here, this is my first post I hope I am in the right forum.

Great name!! LOL! dead.........the ACE?? Mine is still on the original Froyo 2.2.1, (until I get bored with it!), but if I choose to there are multiple combinations of Gingerbread updates available, both official & non, which will give the ACE the ICS in future too. Froyo/GB/ICS, root/flash etc... it's a matter of choice, but the ACE will never be dead. An Android phone has never-ending possibilities no matter what version it is on!! Graham - London

even the Ace 2 wont have ICS so I think that shows samsungs intentions.

Before getting the ace, I had a lg gt540 and theres already an ICS custom rom for that phone, the gt540 is down the pecking order of android phones than the ace so we probably will eventually get sunshinesomekind of ICS rom.

aren't there already several custom roms for ICS on the xda-developers site?? Ace will have ICS one way or three others! Graham - London

Yup,

Maclaws build on xda is only missing camera and a couple of other fixes. Wont be long till its 100%

 

[Dictang]

Still not available? Can you please tell me Samsung announced they will release ICS for ace?

 

[Andima]

There is no official ICS ROM. But there is a cyanogenmod 9 based ICS ROM but it still in beta stage.

XDA thread:- [DEV] CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0-GT-S5830-GalaxyICS-KANG-beta5 [Latest update: 18.03.12]

Installation guide:- Install / Upgrade Ice Cream Sandwich On Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 [Unoffcial Android 4]

Developer site:- GalaxyICS :: News

 

[insekticide]

Has anyone gotten ICS to work smoothly on Ace? I can't imagine it will.

 

[PJ147]

If you look at the post above yours insekticide youll see a link that takes you to a work in progress for Cyanagenmod 9 which is ICS 4.0.3. cm9 is a cleaner version of ICS than you'll find on any samsung device. (My wife has official ICS on her galaxy s2, and its tainted with touchwiz so its not pure ICS).

The link is on Beta 5 release and works smooth enough for daily use (unless you use your camera) and at the speed its progressing will be complete soon.

I am new to this so it would be appreciated if you tell me in detail.
Thanks in advance.

Goto to settings>about phone> software updates.
Click on it,
As per 2g network speed, it takes around half an hour
I've done and have .6 version of gingerbread

There is no OTA Support in Froyo only option is to update via Kies.

Just update your samsung Kies and connect your phone..
a popup will appear saying new firmware update is available...
just follow the instructions and you will have gingerbread in no time...

just wondered how a sony tipo is under a hundred pounds with the same spec as the ace but has ics straight from the box?

There is no issue of technical capabilities with ACE running ICS, its the samsung that has an issue supporting old devices. We already have unofficial ICS and JB.

" even the Ace 2 wont have ICS so I think

actually Ace 2 will be having JB and skips ICS. (according some gsmarena, if I remember right )

Hi,

Don't know whether this is in the right section..
I have a galaxy ace it's rooted and running the mythics_lite.
I am going to be buying a new memory card soon, just a quick question I know it might sound stupid but when i get the new memory card do I just back up the data on my current memory card and then swap it to the new memory card? Or will I have to re-root it too?

Just copy the everything to the new card, no hassles.
P.S This is not relevent to the topic of discussion here, so it is a wrong section to post this.
