UPDATE : Seems like Sammy wants to go upto 2.3.7 or possibly upto 4.0?!! We won’t mind that. Perhaps ICS? So the firmware is available with 2 CSC’s. Just so that you know.
Download Link:
2.3.5 XWKS9 CSC: XEO | XEF (Password: sampro.pl)
UPDATE : XWKS3 (update to XWKS2) is now available. Remeber, the same happened in India where KQ5 was followed by KQ6. Whats going on with Sammy here? Releasing buggy firmwares & then trying to cover up mistakes?
Regardless, here is the download link. Flash it with ODIN as told below for KS2.

Ace Tips 
I’m looking for a list of pros and cons. I’m running The Myth at the moment. It is brilliant, but it takes up all the internal memory. I can only install two to three apps at a time. Also I’m in South-Africa. what problems can i expect if the region do not match
can I use c Clockworkmod to install zip(GT-S5830_XEN_S5830XWKS2_S5830XENKS1_S5830XWKS2.rar) on recovery mod….???
No. Use Odin.

hotfile doesnt works
any other links like mediafire?
and whats the difference between XEO | XEF?
sorry. most of the links for firmwares are hotfile.
Please help !!!
I desperately need to know the difference between xxwks3 and xxwks9. I know both are 2.3.5 but I need the know the differences and which one has the least bugs. I flashed xxwks2 which sucked as the task manager could not free up much memory and also i wasn’t able to recieve video calls from my friends on Tango video calling. Also, The setup crashed when i first started the phone although i could fix that using a complete data wipe. All i need to know is which one has the least bugs and the differences between xxwks3 and xxwks9. Also if you can tell me the deifference between xeo and xef in xxwks9 or are they the same? Please reply…….
Vatsal.
Not much differences. We only come to know about them via users. some internal bugs are sorted with each update which samsung devs may know about.

plzz help mii
i upgrade to 2.3.4 via kies
my assassians creed screen is stretched
n many games like gangsta, sims3 wont work ???????
wat has happn ?
Running this version since the last week. Full of bugs, lags etc. Cannot root the phone. I’ve tried 3 solutions till now, and nothing 😦 I’m looking for a official ROM, if you have an idea about something like that. Thanks!
This is the official version released in some parts of europe.
btw, I m from India.
The latest firmware for India is DDKQ6 which can be updated to via Kies. To Flash KS2, the only way to do so is with ODIN. You can search the site for a tutorial. Btw, my advice is that you update to Gingerbread (whatever version) because you will notice much differences in between different gingerbread versions.
Is the phone has to be rooted for this? I tried installing through kies but it’s force closing.
does this get rid of any features such as a lock screen etc
Do you mean lockscreen lag?
