2 Jelly Bean ROMs for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830

The Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 is one of the most popular Android low-end phones which has been in the market for a long time. The device was launched in February 2011 with Android 2.3 Gingerbread which has recently been updated to Android 2.3.6 (still GB). Due to its moderate hardware specifications, the phone never saw an official update even to Android 4.04 Ice Cream Sandwich, not to talk of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Android being and Open Source OS, it has endless possibilities. You can always expect the unexpected with an Android phone in

your hand. Thanks to the great developers who work hard day and night to give us even those updates and features that we do not get officially by a mobile phone manufacturer. These Android Devs have made our experience with the Galaxy Ace S5830 richer by cooking awesome ROMs that have made us stick to this little monster for such a long time. One day just during a regular analysis of the web search keywords at Droidviews I noticed how desperate the Galaxy Ace users are to update and install a Jelly Bean ROM on their device. Hundreds of people coming daily for a Jelly Bean ROM for the Galaxy Ace everyday! This made me write an article with a collection of some of the best Jelly Bean ROMs that helps you choose one that is most suitable for you.

Backup your contacts, call-logs, messages, APNs, bookmarks, calendar, apps & games Using These Nice Free Apps. Turn on the USB Debugging mode on your device.

internet. To avoid any problem, itll be better if you backup your IMEI for safety purpose.
