FINALLY......2.3.6 has arrived in India for our Galaxy Ace!
There are some changes introduced by Samsung in this version (some mainly because of Apple's patent fight with Samsung on Slide to unlock lock screen and Overscroll bounce...)
So here are the changes which I found:-
1) Lock Screen
The Unlock method has changed. When you keep your finger on the screen, a lock like symbol will appear! You have to slide your finger over the screen and make the lock open!(I think this lock screen is there on the S2 too...)
One more advantage is that the lock screen also displays your unread text message count and you can directly access the messages by sliding on top of the red circle which has a message symbol on top! It even supports missed call countand you can access your missed calls directly! Cool, huh?
Unfortunately, you don't have the old slide to unlock method and you have to adjust to the new lock screen.
2) Touchwiz
Not much has changed...! The call button icon and Memo icon has changed somewhat. And the homescreen is loopable now.....you can go directly from the last homescreen to first homescreen. In the app drawer, you can go to any page by simply tapping at its screen number on the top, and it will go to that page......so if you want to go to page 5 from page 1, you have to tap the 5th grey dot on top to reach the fifth page!
3) Call Receiving Screen
Just like the Lock Screen, even the call screen has changed! Now it looks somewhat better than the old one! NOTE: I have pixelated the caller ID for security reasons!
4) Overscroll Glow
Gallery Overscroll:
The overcroll glow effect also has been added! It is nice in some places like the settings menu and annoying in some areas like the gallery! But overall it looks nice!
5) Gallery
NEW
OLD
Very light theme differences....See and tell me what is different!
That's all!

Tutorial on flashing with Odin: How to upgrade Samsung Galaxy Ace via ODIN | Ace Tips
Clear Cache Partition from recovery menu after update! Otherwise, you will have problems!
How to go to recovery menu: Turn off your phone. Then, ON it by holding Power+Home button at the same time. You will reach the recovery menu. You cannot use touch there. You can Navigate only with the Volume buttons and Select using Home button.
Conclusion
Overall it is faster, looks better and I somewhat like the lock screen! I would recommend you to go for the update! You can go for it even if you don't live in India.
Thanks for Reading! Have fun!
