hi guys I wanted to make a thread about all the information I have so far on the Samsung Galaxy ace,
I will credit the source of the information to each tip.
i will not be held responsible for any problems that may arise from following these steps.
SENDING APPS TO SDCARD
you can follow this guide to send most if not all applications to the sd card and you will not have to root to do so

GOOGLE MAPS
if you update your galaxy from any of the stock firmware that you bought the phone with you will have probably been updated with a new version of Google maps when you update Google maps the new version will not allow you to move it to the sd card even using the above command. a way around this is to simply go to Google maps on market and select uninstall updates this will bring you back to the original Google maps version there isnt much difference in the old and new version may be a couple of new labs options other than that it's still the same Google maps some people have even complained that the newer version of Google maps takes longer to get GPS lock.
Going back to the old version of Google maps will then allow you to move it at sdcard once again.
STOCK APPS
stock apps are the general crap ones that you get when you buy the phone we're talking the really rubbish games like bejewelled and breakout also you get some third-party apps that dont really do anything but link you to a website, most of these apps like bejewelled and breakout also Gmail, Samsung apps and allshare can it be removed if you want more space, simply use this file to root your phone by load onto your sdcard then restart the phone by holding down the home and power button button to install from sd, once installed you restart the phone again and hey your root, more details can be found here
TO ROOT AGAIN
to unroot your phone again back to orignal state you can do the same steps but using this file this is the "un-root" .zip
CLEARING THE DATA/LOG
After rooting your phone download Root Explorer or any other explorer that lets you access the internal memory, go to data/log delete all the files, now go to homescreen select the appmanager widget and see how much more internal memory you have credits to 4peterkh4 for this one
CLEARING THE DALVIK CACHE
Follow the above steps but instead of data/log. go to data/dalvik-cache. delete all the files, "important" after deleting files restart your phone the first restart will take a little longer as android is refreshing its d-cache when finished go to progmanager widget and see even more saved internal memory!!!
IF YOU FOLLOW THESE STEP YOU COULD HAVE THIS MANY APPS WITH THIS MUCH "SPARE" MEMORY!!! YAY!
