May I have your attention here please! Just some news/announcements
There seems to be a bug for some people after installing Mod Pack II X 0.7, which causes Caller ID to not work for some. There is a solution, and all it involves is deleting your contacts. Of course, many of you probably wouldn't want to do that, but you may back them up beforehand (such as with Google Contacts Sync), delete them off your device, then restore them. Sorry for any inconveniences caused, but I don't see what could be causing this bug and the fix is so simple (and debugging in smali is HELL) that I'm not going to look into fixing it. Just take the workaround, which I got from @daver18qc:
Syncronise your contacts with a Google account (make sure they are sync'd) then delete all contacts and re-download them from your Google account and everything will be fine.
You may deny me further attention now

MOD PACK II X

As the name implies, Mod Pack II X is a series of mods packaged together for the Samsung Galaxy Ace II X (GT-S7560M). The purpose of the mods is to enhance several aspects of usability (such as performance, visual interface, et cetera) while maintaining a seemingly stock ROM, in terms of stability. There are going to be dozens of incremental updates, that will include new modifications (and or fixes for any mods that may have been done incorrectly). To install any version of the Mod Pack II X, just download the .zip file and install it with your preferred custom recovery. The only requirements are that you be on stock ROM, and that your ROM is deodexed. Below is the information that will change for each update.

General info

The most recent version of the Mod Pack II X is..... 0.7 Eta RebirthEaster Bunny
You can download it here. It's based off of the February Canadian firmwares (S7560MVLBNA5).
You can download the February Canada ROM deodexed and debloated, flash-able via custom recovery, right here.
The following mods are included within Mod Pack II X v0.7:
  • CRT-Off animation w. toggle
  • AOSP ICS lockscreen w. toggle
  • Ripple effect lockscreen w. toggle
  • Flashlight quick toggle in notification bar
  • Toggles to hide status bar AM/PM or entire clock.
  • Modded Touchwiz launcher (landscape rotation enabled, support for up to 9 pages)
  • Zeta pack (a few init.d scripts and build.prop tweaks)
  • Power control widget
  • Ability to turn camera shutter on/off
  • Modified hosts file
  • Screen stays off after unplugging
  • 4 way reboot menu
  • AOSP like visuals
  • Power saving mode and other settings reenabled
  • Scrolling cache disabled
  • Modded Messaging app (character limit raised, split-view mode w. toggle, and more miscellaneous mods)
  • Landscape mode in dialer and in-call interface
  • Other little things that I can't seem to remember, either because I have memory-issues or because there are just so many things
  • Better aligned and transitioned AOSP lockscreen clock

Send some screenshots this way please. Some community effort required.

If you notice any bugs, please feel free to report them here. If you'd like to request a mod, post it here and I'll see if I can get it done.

If you don't like Mod Pack II X, and you wish to revert to stock, flash this zip in recovery to remove and replace Mod Pack II X modded files with unmodified ones.

Fun facts and more

  • Starting at version 0.6, each release will have codename - a letter in the Greek alphabet that corresponds to the release number. Ex. Version 0.6 is called Zeta because Zeta is the 6th letter of the Greek alphabet.

  • I chose the Greek alphabet for codenaming because I love Greek yogurt.

  • Mod Pack II X was a spontaneous idea. I never would've imagined myself doing all sorts of mods last year. It was supposed to be a one time thing, but it was popular, so I continued modding and releasing Mod Packs.

  • I'm a 12 year old. Seriously. I've found an online home away from home (even though I mostly use the internet while home) called XDA. I'm really grateful I turned out the way I am, because I love helping people in anyway I can.

it's bad...
Please don't post here if you're going to say negative things about the phone when you probably don't even have it. And actually, the phone is pretty decent. Yes, the Ace 2 may be better (we have an enhanced Adreno 200 as our GPU) but I would have bought the Ace 2 if it were available in Canada. With overclock and numerous mods applied, I was able to get a better benchmark than the Galaxy S. Considering my phone isn't the best phone, I think it's still pretty good. Once us owners of the Ace II X start building some ROMs (I'm actually working on AOSP ICS), performance issues will be swept away. It's all caused by Touchwiz. If you're interested in researching our device a bit more, you can look for Galaxy S Duos specs because it is identical to my Ace II X other than the dual sim comparability.

Hi there. I have a Galaxy Trend s7560 and i found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2343108. Do you think it will brick my device if i flash it? Everywhere i look, i see the S7562 and S7560 are the same, the only difference being the dual-sim property. Thanks in advance.
First of all, why are you posting this here? This thread is for MOD PACK II X ONLY. Please refrain from posting unrelated comments here in the future. Instead, post in the regular Ace II X discussion thread here. It certainly wouldn't (or shouldn't) brick your device, but RIL may not work properly since that ROM is designed for the dual sim counterpart of our models. You'd also probably get some annoying messages popping up about the second sim card not being detected (because there is no second sim slot on the Trend/Ace II X). If you're up to it, you could ask Mohitash to help you port the ROM for your specific device (based off of Trend firmware, and thus based off of "single sim" files).

Can someone post screenshot of the MOD PACK, because I want to know how it looks before installing it. And to I need to reflash through Odin to uninstall this mod?

Oh, sorry. I'll post some screenshots after school tomorrow. I'll also throw together an uninstallation package. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Flashed the Guatemala MG2 rom, everything was working perfectly, then I tried to flash the modpack but I can't use the phone at all...
