Thank You zebracrossed!! Feed back to us is extremely awesome!!
Lots of times we get none at all
Your post is very valuable to us!!:congrats:I'd also like to give a big shoutout to the mods. Many would not be half as patient as you have been with zebracrossed.
Also @zebracrossed. To prevent running into problems again and/or possible ones you can't recover from please avoid rooting for the time being. Maybe wait until your upgrade date by which time you'll hopefully have two Android devices. Then you can practice on your old device (your now current one) and if you screw up and brick the device whichever new phone you picked up on upgrade is left undamaged.
Also. Research research RESEARCH! Don't just dive in head first. If you wouldn't confidently consider yourself a techy then don't even attempt rooting your phone. You wouldn't be able to make the most of it anyway. If you're uncertain or afraid then don't. If you're not 110% certain what will happen then don't. Same goes for manually flashing firmware using Odin. If you make the slightest mistake with that, you can REALLY brick your phone and there's no recovering from that.
From what I remember you've pretty much only just got your phone so it should be around two years until your upgrade date. That gives you plenty of time to research manual firmware installs, rooting and how Android works in general. Don't just rush into things as that's how you get yourself into trouble.
Also, when you have something to add to a post it might be worth clicking the "edit" button to edit your current post rather than spamming the thread with updates. Helps Keep things clean.
I recognise that you were incredibly stressed and concerned though and things can easily be forgotten about in the heat of the moment.
Also, you say the problem occured when you tried to install Chainfire3D yet you claim you were also on Jelly Bean. The below note comes from the description of the app on Google Play:
!! For Froyo and Gingerbread ONLY. NOT COMPATIBLE with Honeycomb/Ice Cream Sandwich/Jelly Bean !!
Looks to me like that was your fatal flaw. You don't need Chainfire3d. What were you trying to do. Make games run faster? Some top-end games just won't run well (if at all) no matter what you do as the Ace 2 is only a mid-range device. To fix minor performance glitches you could use tweaking apps such as Andromizer. Just be careful and don't change anything manually unless you know exactly what you're doing. Stick to the available presets.
Good luck with your Ace 2 in the future.
