How to update Samsung Galaxy Ace to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop with CyanogenMod 12 ROM

This educational guide is to show how to update Samsung Galaxy Ace to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop with CyanogenMod 12 ROM. Recently we posted about how to install ics on Samsung Galaxy Y S5360. After 2 days of posting it one of my reader asked me to write same for Samsung Galaxy Ace. Samsung can’t release lollipop update for Galaxy ACE as it has low hardware configuration. I think it is bad news for all Galaxy Ace users, CyanogenMod 12 ROM helps to update Samsung Galaxy Ace to Android lollipop and allows you to enjoy hidden features in your mobile.

    CyanogenMod ROMS are better than many other cooked ROMS. Though they have a few bugs, they can be fixed. Well written tutorial, Amar! I would like to see one for my Glaxy note.
