The Samsung Galaxy Ace is receiving daily Custom ROM‘s being created by several developers, almost all of the ROM’s are mostly stable so I’m already confused thinking which one to use?. The amazing devs at XDA are continuously creating stuff for the devices no matter the Company releases a new update or not. XDA member “slaid480” is the creator of this Galaxy Ace ROM, the ROM has been dubbed as the TouchWiz4 ROM. The ROM is based on the CM7 – the best thing about this ROM is that it comes with TouchWiz 4 which includes over 20 applications from the Famous Galaxy S2 device, making these applications to be stable on the Galaxy Ace device would have surely required a lot of efforts, Thanks to the devlopers who are providing this stuff for free to everyone..!!
