Difference between custom and stock.
Hi all,
I'm new here on XDA-Developers, and have a question about the different types of kernels.
Here the phone can be adjusted with a stock or a custom kernel.
I would really like to know the difference between the two, so i can pick up one to root my Galaxy Ace 2.
When i bought mine Gingerbread came with it, but half year later i upgraded to Jelly Bean with Samsung Kies.
My phone became very slow 2 days later, and i'am unable to reach my gallery, cannot make photo's and Whatsapp incoming media cannot be downloaded.
However i deleted some unused apps at that time, but the worked for a day and the system memory became full again.
Could anyone help me out with this problem?
My external sd card has 32 GB of memory, 3 GB is used 29 GB unused.
Regards,
n0rt0x

Hi guys! im trying to root my ace 2 with jb stock rom installed but that .zip files doesn't work for me...
i put that update.zip, root.zip or however they are named, boot into stock recovery, choose install from external storage and no files get found.
sd card works fine and stock rom can mount it but files cannot be found...
looks like i need custom recovery for root and root for custom recovery.... -.-

Choose from sdcard.
No you dont need root for custom recovery. Btw you can flash root.zip directly from stock recovery

is there away to do this with STOCK kernel on GB?
This is a little confusing as it would suggest I could flash a custom kernel with our root...Is that correct?

FOR GINGERBREAD
What's you need:
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 with Gingerbread
Custom Kernel with CWM or TWRP such as EX Kernel.
SuperSU Flashable Zip Download HERE.
A Sharp Eyes.
Smart Brain.
Steps:
First, Put the SuperSU Flashable Zip to your SD Card.
Boot into Recovery Mode (Volume Up + Home + Power)
Flash the SuperSU Flashable Zip from recovery.
Wait
Choose "Reboot System Now"
Tadaa, now you have a rooted phone.
"
If so could some one suggest which kernel so can get started?
PS don't forget the phone is not seen via pc as usb port damaged so flashing would be done via stock recovery

I was unable to flash CWM using this method. (on my GT-I8160 running Android 4.1.2)
It gave me the "signature verification failed" error.
However this method was very quick and worked perfectly fine for me.
ok, due to not having privileges of posting outside links(min 10 posts required) go to androidxda.com and search for "root samsung galaxy ace 2 i8160"
No CWM required (but I think i'll install that anyway).

Thanks for the TUT
Hi i followed your method the TUT is great, and i wouldnt call myself a noob but im really having troubles. I flash the md5 file through odin i get a PASS all threads completed succesfully however when i reboot into recovery and look inside the extSD to flash SuperSU its empty.... so i rebooted the phone and installed through the playstore and it gives me the ,device does not have the binaries installed and SU cannot install them 'this is a problem', speach, any ideas?
