So, i'm "new" too.
First thing, you did send your message from a Galaxy Ace so in assume that you want to play with it?
you can search for your device in the right top of the page, there you select your phone and go with the banana (Dutch xD "gaan met die banaan")
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1164
That's the board for your phone. There you can find threads about new roms, themes, apps, etc.
As i read it you woud like to have another ROM, now for every device there are steps to follow, i suggest you to take a look @ the board for your device and look what you would like to put on your Ace. in most cases the steps are all in the ROM's thread, and feel free to ask someone if you don't know what you are doing. Anything is better than making a brick.

Michel

Hi,
If you just 'flopped' on those rom's and kernels, you where very lucky not to have an extra stone in your house.
The best way to learn things is to make mistakes, i am not a Pro either messed up two phones, but you'll learn while doing that...
Always check your system settings like kernel, hardware-build etc. example: a Galaxy Nexus is not just 'a Galaxy Nexus' there are a lot of differences between them, even if they look totaly the same. So if you don(t know what u are doing just ask someone, it won't hurt you or that person.
I know some people over here can be hard to newbies (n00bs) that's just the way it is. Imagine you are asked one question 1000 times a day... you'd be the same...
Your OS is (normally) ALWAYS Android
Your kernel is your "chassis"
Your ROM is the "engine"
If there is something where i can help you with i'll be there

[Q] [q] install custom rom to my skyrocket sgs2 i7272 please helpp

I need help. Im a noob and i want to install the new rom for skyrocket (4.1.2) . My phone is running the official 4.0.4 , its not root, and i want to install the rom trought odin or other method that could help me, i need instruction step by step, i dont want to break my phone./ i intalled a cwm recovery. I have the zip file..
But im not sure if thats the roms with the aparrence of sgs3 jelly bean 4.1.2 , please help me

Please read the stickies. Vincom has tried to make them as helpful and easy to follow for users who are let's say "new to the process" . I could break it down for you, but doing some in depth reading on your own is certainly necessary based off your post. If you read thoroughly and still have remaining questions then come on back. Nobody wants to see you brick so read up.

First of all, listen to Mike. And btw, the one jelly bean rom that has touchwiz like the sgs3 is by this guy named mohan. Yeah, and look up some information on different roms before installing. Try out cyanogenmod, slim bean, and many others because you may like one better than the other haha.

Dude really this is your second post asking the same question what are you looking for someone to spoon feed you? Why don't you do a little research on your own? Then if you get stuck ask for help.

liste dude , dont waste my time reading if you not gonna write something to help , this forum is for ppl that can help and give ideas ok? Dont write on my post if u dont like it

If you have the zip file and have read the stickies, then in cwm you're going to factory reset, wipe/format data, system, and cache. Then install the rom. You'll have to then sign into Google and re-install your apps. Back everything up before you start
The stickies will have greater detail, but pay attention on how to do the wipes. And make sure the zip you have is for your specific device, all s2´s are not the same. If you use the wrong one you will brick you phone.

CDMA phones won't work on GSM networks and vice-versa. No ROM can change that.

Yeah bro or right but there are ROMs for CDMA :thumbup:

more info plz,exactly what did you modify?
try to reflash the rom but dont forget to make a backup of your apps (recommend titanium backup on google play store)
and if the problem is still there try to flash pure stock via flashtool,if it's still there it something wrong with your phone

Sorry for the late reply... I flashed stock rom .31 then i modified the launcher, theme, lockscreen, but it is not related to wifi ... It is a big decrease..

Dual boot

Hello everyone....I'm not a great developer...yet I never saw a thread in this forum about the possibilities of dual boot...
Can some experts take this seriously..
Wouldn't it be freaking cool to select an os from start-up..
Two os installed and the user chooses the one he wants...like cm10 and stock...
Any ideas or possibilities???
Hope this isn't a foolish.question

i did this question before some months to rachit (kernel development)...i dont remember his answer (search to original dev>rachit thread) its possible to make a dualboot (a lot of mobiles custom kernels support it)....i would like to learn how to build a kernel from source or to make my own but i dont find a thread for it (if you know any thread or anyone else know something please pm me the thread or post it here)...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

it's possible and there's a lot of method to do that. you don't have to build a kernel to do it. you can do it by simply modify the ramdisk.
