Well having a low end device running on an outdated version in a world where latest versions are releasing day by day is not only shameful but also irritating. Also if such device is not rooted and has a stock firmware installed then you won’t have any authority & accessibility over your phone. We are saying so because without root you cannot customize the settings, cannot replace or move the in-built system applications, cannot run any app which requires a proper administrative permission, also cannot access the entire hardware. This means that without root, though the device belongs to you but when it comes for customizing you can’t do anything. With such device it’s impossible to run those high definition games. And in case if it is a low end device like Ace having low internal memory and low RAM then your life is just miserable.

Although many of us are scared of rooting their device, but in actual it’s the most easy and beneficial method. Once rooted, you can have entire access over your phones operating system. You can even increase your internal memory, RAM size, and play those high end games easily. When rooted, you’ll find a lot of amazing must-have apps of worth use. For example, some of these apps allow you to automatically take backup all of your apps and all the imp data, make your device a wireless hotspot, create secure tunnels to the Internet, can completely block advertisements or even can help to overclock your device processor. The most common thing done after rooting an android phone is flashing a custom recovery. This is mainly done to install and experience all those custom ROMs un-officially.

Well it’s been a long time since Samsung launched their mid range device Galaxy Ace. It had features like 158 MB storage, 278 MB RAM, 5 megapixel Camera with led, Qualcomm MSM7227 800 MHz processor and Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS. Although these features are outdated in today’s world still this device made some place in many people’s heart. That’s the reason they launched Ace Plus and Ace 2, another most famous mobiles from the Ace family. Unfortunately, the Samsung Company did not launch any further updates for Ace beyond 2.3 GB. The Android versions after Gingerbread including ice-cream sandwich, jelly bean and KitKat were thus impossible to run on Ace. This is where the custom developers played their most important role by making many custom ROMs running on these latest versions for Galaxy Ace.
