We have confirmation of the Galaxy Ace receiving the XXKPH Android 2.3.4 based firmware. What’s even better is that the root method for the Ace on Gingerbread works for this firmware as well. Read on for more on how you can install this firmware on your Galaxy Ace.
The installation procedure is like for any other Samsung device, via ODIN. However, this method is the safest and actually much easier then it seems. So let’s move onto the installation.

Is it possible for me to do this if I have a South American version of the Ace? (still Android 2.2.1)
In case I don’t like the new firmware, where may I find the original one again?
What improvements does this show once installed?
yes of course you can back it to the previous version if you like…..
