Finally, the Samsung Galaxy Ace has received the Android 4.2.2 update with the power of CyanogenMod 10.1, also known as CM10.1. I recently posted about the CM release on the Galaxy Ace, but the funniest part is that I encountered some trouble with the variant issue.
Let me clarify. I had originally posted the thread for the Ace Duos generic version, but many of my fellow readers tried to root their Galaxy Ace variants without reading the disclaimer.
Yes, it’s true. You can see the discussions regarding the variant issue in the comment section of the respective post. That’s why I intentionally mentioned the specific variant here, which is the S5830. I hope this clarification doesn’t cause any confusion or inconvenience.
Now, let’s move on to the main topic. If you have been following my posts for a while, you’re probably aware of the importance of CyanogenMod. It’s the most powerful and magnificent custom Android platform ever created in history. Oops, I almost forgot to mention the specific model, which is the Galaxy Ace GT5830.
The Samsung Galaxy Ace series is a collection of devices introduced in the middle of 2011, and it has received an overwhelmingly positive response, both then and now.
