1. google it, there are many
2. google it
3. this is xda-developers forums that is all we do. mod, root and share safe ROM's
4. again google it, you will find that a lot of users get better performance and battery usage on a custom ROM compared to the stock one
I would recommend that you take some time to search through these forums as there is a lot of information to answer your questions

Thanks
Thanks I think I just need to be less lazy....:good:

[Q] Need Help! Rooting Galaxy Ace Duos GT-S6802

I have tried everywhere :-
Searched upto 5 pages with around 10 different queries on GOOGLE
Used 'Unlock Root'
Manually throught adb cmnds using 'psneuter' and 'gingerbreak'
Using a batch script
But No success!!!
Even re-installed Win-7 [my phone driver wasn't installing, installed at last]
PLZ provide a working way
Why don't you simply install a custom ROM and make your own life easier.
You do realize all custom roms r pre-rooted don't you?

Actually I am very new to android, I bought my phone 5 days ago. But there's problem with it, all 3D HVGA games (even Raging Thunder 2) are running with render problems, sometimes all cars and trees are white, sometimes some meshes are not loaded, or some 2D images moving on screen. I am fed up with it, its like I bought wrong one.
I read somewhere, root your phone -> install chainfire3D ...and that's the only hope. I am sure these games run well on Galaxy Ace. Is there something with this set? kindly help.

http ://s18.postimage.org/av2hilcfp/render_problem_in_GT_S6802.png
I realized it can be done the other way by flashing a rooted rom. But I couldn't, I am not sure which rom should I pick for my device (Ace Duos GT-S6802).
Tried with random rom in Ace forum by Recovery method and there was something like
if(productCode == S5830) ...... .. . .. . . .. . etc FAILED!
I think it wasn't meant for S6802.
Tried something with ODIN [FAILED!]
Plz suggest something... (in quite detail or tutorial link)
have you tried superoneclick??
it works quite wonderfully..
Sent fromm my mind using NFC
Yes, I tried it. It hangs after "running psneuter", or "running GingerBreak", or "running motofail"
Maybe these exploits were fixed in this model:cyclops:

Ok im gonna be pretty honest with you. You did buy the wrong phone. even the first (original galaxy ace, s5830) is a pain in the *** cause you get loads of devs and stuff out there and they quite nicely refuse to make stuff for your phone. you get me??? long story short mate its all business and you made a mistake buying that phone. I dont know if there is ever gonna be any support for galaxy ace i,m,duos in xda. :-( sad enit
I don't think some more research would be harmful but i don't think it would be useful either . good luck though

In that case.
Leave everyone, I'll try whatever I can. I believe I can do it.
Some guy here said, only impossible is impossible. Just tell me about exploits (gingerbreak etc) or how those zip packages (upd.zip) are made.

this happened with me too, when I was trying to root my brother's Dell Aero.
Jst remove the cable when it hangs and then attach it again.
I successfuly rooted An old ass phone lyk dell aero with this. so An Ace duos should not be much trouble I believe.

Hi, welcome.
That's true, there's some custom rom available for your phone model include BenzRom of course. Just go to development section, you'll found them.
Hey,
Cheers for the welcome... Thanks for the info, I had obviously not searched properly lol. One last question my model number is xxamb1 and the roms say things like xxamb3 and b2? will these work on my phone?
Cheers for the help
Be careful, your phone model is I8190N. Check again if the custom rom is for your phone model.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini i8190 fresh backup?

So, i was wondering if there is a download of this anywhere? or if it was possible to get one from antoher user.
As i was messing around with cyanogenmod, yet, i made a mistake, and now my phone is useless / cant run the programs it needs to, so i would like to make a fresh install on it.
Is this possible to get / download?

Dont wonder, just look under "Galaxy S III Mini Android Development" there are lot of "STOCK" Roms..... and if you cant flash with CWM, try at "Galaxy S III Mini General" There is a guide, how to unbrick your Phone and so one.... and there is a ODIN - flashable stockROM too
I cant post you links, so just searcdh, they are everywhere in these threads
EDIT:
look at S III mini General. There is this post: "Official ROOTED firmwares for the SIII mini - OXX csc"

[Q] [CWM] [Recovery] S7275R Galaxy Ace 3

Hi peeps, its the end of the year 2013. And my previously owned galaxy ace is dying out of slowness, incapability and lagginess.
I've now got the new Galaxy ace 3.
Just rooted it with vroot and installed SuperSU.
Though im yet to find any proper CWM that is capable with this phone.
The usual methods that uses Odin and flashing the PDA doesn't work for me.
Any help is appreciated
PS, XDA doesnt recognize Galaxy Ace 3 yet and please do let me know if i've posted in the wrong place.
Sharing is caring, respect is all the wealth we need.
I got the Ace III about a day after you and have already managed to brick it :crying:
So if you make any progress with CWM or Odin etc please post back.
It's such a good little phone I'd hate to give up on it.
Thanks

Even though it has a faster CPU, the 1 GB of RAM is not enough to support KitKat, according to Samsung.
In fact, they are just too lazy and they want to boost the sales of newer devices.

Hi there,
my GF also just bought that device. Till now, I haven't found anything like a custom rom for that gear.
It is very surprising/sad that this device hasn't cought any attention in the dev community.
And root can only be done with VROOT so far, if Im not completely wrong.
I wish there would be any news regarding custom roms in the near future.
Perhaps one dev will read this and will picture my crying wife in his mind. And perhaps he will port some existing rom for the i8190 and recovery to that device...
Regards,
Hicks
I search over 2 weeks and ask on different forms and developers websites, but no luck.
I think there are not enough users of the s3 mini GT-i8200 version to have the developers attention.
I wanna all the users that have the model to gather in one place and a developer maybe will see us and he will change his mind and try to make a custom rom for our device too.
Regars,
Narcis
Perhaps we should build up a donation pile for a dev who will port e.g. cm11. [emoji2]
pleaseee i8200 custom rom 4.4
pleaseee i8200 custom rom 4.4
Like a said before, if we the users of this version of gt-i8200 don't gather in 1 place, the devs will not notice us

comments on why samsung have not put KitKat on the s3 mini were based on official announcements made by samsung
the reason they gave was due to insufficient hardware capabilities
I have not seen any new announcements stating otherwise
if they have gone ahead with putting KitKat on a device with lower specs then there must be some other reason why it was not done on the s3 mini
