We are all want to taste latest features of Android operating system, but unfortunately, not all devices support latest version due to hardware limitations or manufactures will not provide the update due to some reasons. Therefore, the easiest way of keeping your phone fully up-to-date is through custom ROMs like CyanagenMod. Here is a cent percent working Jelly Bean 4.2.2 ROM for your Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. This custom is based on CM10.1 custom ROM.
Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 is an entry level Android smartphone. Its hardware specifications aren’t capable for upgrading to latest Android OS Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.) or Jelly Bean (Android 4.2).

The developer Androidarmv6 has cooked Android 4.2 Jelly Bean custom ROM based on CyanagenMod 10.1 (CM10.1) for Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830) by dropping some Jelly Bean features.
