Samsung Galaxy Ace - S5830: Elegant Performer by AdWait

I have recently came across a pretty good ROM for the Galaxy Ace. Its Elegant Performer by AdWait. AdWait has released a few ROMs for the Galaxy Ace which had garnered a few hundred to over a thousand downloads.

In Elegant Performer, the thing I like the most is that it uses a pretty nice looking theme which is not too bad. The launcher while pretty good, is unable to beat the speeds shown by Xperia Launcher. AdWait has stripped this ROM pretty bare but it still has the essentials like camera, gallery, sms and a file manager.

Samsung Galaxy Ace - S5830: On The ROM Hunt (Part 3)
============================================
On the ROM hunt is a series of reviews to find the best ROM for regular daily use that provides stability, good performance and good battery life for the Galaxy Ace. Everyone's daily usage differs but here is my typical usage scenario:

• 10-15 messages (including Whatsapp, SMS and/or Facebook messenger)
• 5-30 minutes of voice call
• 2-3 hours of casual gaming (like Scramble with Friends, etc)
• 3G data always on (except when WiFi is on)
• 3-4 hours WiFi usage

ROMs:
StockLite v7.1 (Link)
DroidAce v2 (Link)

Samsung Galaxy Ace - S5830: CM9 RC1 released

Hey all Galaxy Ace users,
CM9 RC1 has been released by Maclaw and team. The previous beta's were alright but one of the biggest issues were the camera. CM9 RC1 promises to improve the camera performance and increase the smoothness of the overall operation.

You can bet that I will be downloading this ROM to give it a whirl to see if its worth its RC1 title. If this RC1 lives up to its title, the other ROMs which are based on this RC1 will be viable alternatives as well.

Have you tried it yet?

P.S. I know that I'm a little behind on my Galaxy Ace ROM review, I'll get part 3 done soon. Been a little busy with work.

Samsung Galaxy Ace - S5830: Droid Ace v2 released

As I've mentioned in my previous post, Droid Ace is a pretty good ROM which had some issues. Well, Droid Ace v2 has been released which promises to fix those issues and provide an even better experience. Does it live up to the hype?

Well, I'm testing it as part of my ROM reviews so watch out for that!

Due to work, it may take another few days before part 3 of my review comes out, so please be patient.

Thanks for reading!

Introduction

Hi all,

I am the very same blogger from Local Standpoint over at Wordpress.

I started this post as I felt that my blog posts over at Local Standpoint was getting too narrowly focused on Android related stuffs which sort of veered away from the original goal of Local Standpoint.

Hence, I'm starting this new blog where I will concentrate solely on Android related news and reviews.

Local Standpoint will still be up and available as I've had some very well received posts over there and I do not intend to move the old posts over. I probably will continue posting on that blog but it will be mostly non-Android related stuff. You can still contact me via that blog comments or through my Facebook and Skype accounts.

This blog will start with my coverage on the Galaxy Ace ROM review which I'm currently doing. I hope to keep all my readers satisfied and I'm sorry if I inconvenienced anyone by moving my posts over to this new blog.

Thanks for reading!

Yours sincerely,
