FirstUA ROM For Galaxy Ace

I don't know exactly but It looks similar to cyanogen mod.

Developers named it FirstUA Custom Rom for Ace.

I flashed it to my phone and it rocked but not too much impressive because still no flash player support.

This ROM is for ROM Seekers who always wants new ROM to flash on their ace.

I dislike the boot image as cyanogen mod  because I like the old Samsung image on start up boot.

Touch Wiz 3.0 replaced with Go Launcher Ex so you can use custom themes.

If you want good themes like iPhone theme than go to market and type "Azooz" and you will get best themes.

If you want touch Wiz 3.0 back than tell me.

ROM is super Fast.

No major bugs.

So foreplay starts here:

First If you are not running KPH ROM than upgrade to android 2.3.4 here

 Now download this files:

ROM

Clockwork MOD

Put both in SD card.

Now start Your Galaxy Ace in Maintenance Mode.(Shut off Phone, Press Power + Home button together till phone boots)

Scroll down with volume buttons to apply update from SD Card by pressing home button.

Now you will see your SD card folders. Select CF-Root-S5830-v3.7-b79_recovery.zip

Reboot.

When phone reboots, Factory Reset it, but don't format SD card.

When Factory Reset is done again start phone in Maintenance mode, apply update from SD card and select FirstUA-Rom-V1.0_without_warez.zip

It will take some time to update. Then reboot.

VOILAAA.............

My as* is updated.

Developers Released an Update If you want to update than
download this file:

ROM V1.2

After Download put it in SD card.

Just start your as* in Maintenance Mode, apply update from SD card and select "FirstUA-ROM-V1.2"
