[Q] Which ROM choose? - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

[Q] Which ROM choose? - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

Hy guys!
MY LIFE:
It's my first topic. I'm french and I bought in october a new phone, the SAMSUNG Gio. I'm happy, this phone is good, but my operator installed *** apps running everyday and uninstallable! So I tryed to root my phone with a program (Ginberbreack) and with the XDA tutorial (Update.zip) but without success (I have SuperUser but it's all). I have Android 2.3.3 with kernel [email protected]#I
MY QUESTIONS:
1. I'd like to install the better power safer ROOM you know for the Gio, and with no bugs (very important!) or additional programs. A very "clean" ROOM with optimizations (if possible). I searched and I found CryogenMod 7.2 (very popular) or GioPro. But I'd like to have opinions and nothing's better than feedbacks!
2. If I change my ROOM, I'll be administrator or not? What method to become root?
Ty everyone

I would go for CynanogenMod 9 once stable is released

CM7.2 for now and CM9 after the Developers upload a satble version

Try Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1, fast and stable.

I prefer CM9 but it isn't complete now. I waiting for stable version

Did you try SuperOneClick to root your stock ROM?
If you want to stay stock give that a shot.

Thank you everyone!
No, I didn't try this method. I'll try this week-end.
Ok so, I install CM7.2 (CyanogenMod), but do you know the release date of CM9? And CM7.2, it's a very light and optimizated ROM or you have new programs or fonctionalities included?
PS : Have I to clic to the button "Thank" for every message you post?

NEVER ask for ETA (=release date) for Cyanogenmod.

Im prefering Cyanogenmod 7.2 too, but when Cyanogenmod 9 RC1 is out you should use it instead!

Ahah
Guys there is a problem, my phone is not supported by SuperOneClick. But, if I install CM7.2, I'll not be root automatically?

This is awesome! Ty guys, I install this new rom this night (in France). Just a minut: is it a One package or I have to install another package I want like boot? And if I have to install à new boot, wich one?
-> I'd like to change the bootloader after installation so if the boot loader don't give me this possibility, it's not good

Ok guys there is a big problem.
I've just installed "px-cwm-v2.zip" form SD card, wipe my data and... install "CM7.7.2-RC-patch-1.zip"...
But it's not what I had to make. I had to install "update-cm-7.2.0-RC...zip"... :S...
Now my phone is stuck at the android screen and I don't know the method to access to the SD card and copy the right CM7.2 to install it in Recovery mod :S
Please, help me and sorry for the double post!

did you tried to put your phone in recovery mode? (when phone is turned off, press home button + power button)
if u can do that successfully, then connect the phone to pc, go to 'mounts and storage', then chose "mount usb storage"
the content of the sd card should apear in "my computer". and from there, you can copy the right files needed to flash

i'm loving CM7.2 RC1 B1 KANG on my 5660M.
i tried more than a couple other ROMs, and honestly cyanogen is my fav

Well,
This is my first post, and while I'm not on the exact same situation as the OP I'm close enough to it so I won't start a new thread (will I ever after watching that "noob video from xda...?!).
So I'm from Portugal, I have a 2.3.4 Vodafone branded Gio and I have it rooted and with clockworkmod installed (px-cmw-V2.zip), all this seems to be working fine, despite I find odd that the backups the wcm produces are only 16Mb (8mb boot.img + 8Mb recovery.img)?... Does this means that if I f*** up later and I restore my phone with cwm these 16mb have all the original rom inside?... kinda hard to believe, is it even normal? I ask this mainly because there's some weird errors on the cwm recovery screen like:
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Well, maybe that's normal I dunno.
As the OP the main reason I want to flash to another rom that not the vodafone one is because of the stupid vodafone apps and because I want to have a way to install more apps without the constant problem of no space on the internal phone memory.
On a side question, when and if I install another rom, the contents on the SD-card will still be recognized by that new rom? More precisely, will my progress on games like Cut the rope and games alike be lost with no possible recovery? And is there a better way, or a simple way, to make a full ISO backup of all the phone and SD contents? I thought cwm would allow me that, but with 16Mb backups it's not doing that for sure...
Thanks in advance, about the rom, I think I'll install the SimpliGio Plus and work from there.

Is it true that cm 7.2 still is cooping with a lot of bugs? (Radio, backlight, no incoming calls). Otherwise im also going to flash!
Anyone got a good tutorial site?

I have used both 7.1 and 7.2. Radio was working way better in 7.2. In 7.1, all you could hear was noise. I don't know if there's been any recent fixes for that. I received incoming calls on 7.2 without any problem. You better try that out. If you find problems in it, you can go back any time.

Well all this is thanks to rdannar, I just take his lastest CM7 rom (CM7 V5) and changed everything back to stock, accelerometer and backlight buttons are working also.
No action snap is installed, to install Fast burst Camera (zoom and autofocus) go to this thread to download it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272161
I used 2nd init defy and remember to follow the next (always used) steps:
1) copy the rom to your sdcard
2) boot into 2nd init defy -> recovery -> stable recovery
3) wipe data/factory reset
4) wipe cache partition
5) advance -> wipe dalvik cache
6) install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard
7) reboot
To take photos use Fast Burst Camera.
Do not use Defy Baseband Switcher if your 3G is working!!

I'm liking it so far!
Is there any way future ones (at least once you get to "production" runs) could NOT include the old swype? Sort of a pain to remove it to install Swype beta...

great rom! at the moment after two days of use I have not found still no defect. (before I used the rom v2 of rdannar). thanks

Nice, I think everybody should help so we get camera working.
Thats the only issue we have to work with.
Defy developers do the rest!!

STUCK!
Ok I got the camera to preview and it clicks if i use the settings that match the stock Bravo but all it saves as a file is a black screen. Can somebody please give me the stock 2.2.1 sbf file decompiled and changed to a .zip or something.
For something at least I have fast burst camera up and working. Now that I think, I need to get source codes. All of the codes for 2.2.1 camera for bravo, and the codes that are in the gingerbread CM7 rom.

Thanks! But I'll have to unzip it and see what it all is. I'm not caring about deodexed files I just want something that I can look at on my computer just like the CM7 mods that are zipped and archived. Easier to look at for hours.
Umm, all it gave me was a file called external.tar. What do I do with it? took me two hours to download.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Ok this is what i'm looking for. Froyo 2.2.1 for the bravo, not in .sbf but in the way it would be if we were using it like the CM7 rom. Opened and in the order just like I can see it on my phone with Super Manager in File Explorer rooted mode. And need to know if some of us want CM7 WITH or WITHOUT BLUR.
I'll just see if I can make two versions. One with and one without so no fighting. But i will need testers.

But I think bravox rom is like that. What do you exactly mean?
------------------------------------------------------------------
About external.tar, I havent worked with that before, no codes for me by now, I have just changed files and zipped roms.
Im here to try, my two bravos are fine to test everything.
For me it doesnt matter about having blur or not, but I prefer GINGERBLUR , anyway we need a fully working gingerbread rom. (everthing will come after it)

What I need.
Ok. I need to have the regular 2.2.1 for the bravo in the exact same way as if we downloaded the CM7 rom that is 2.3.4. The regular 2.2.1 that I have now is just the .sbf file for use with RSD Light just in case I really screw up my phone. Just like windows restore............ Anywho i'm working on right now building the stock 2.2.1 bravo file system by using a stock factory bravo and copying all of the root files onto the SD card to put them on my computer. I'll be going through all of the crap and looking at the CM7 roms to find out what is diffrent. I need somebody who can zip the stuff so it can be loaded with 2ndint. This will then allow me to put this newish rom into beta. Or if someone can find or give me the program that zips everything for 2ndint to use. I will attach sometime what I pulled off of my Bravo for a better understanding of what I want.

You want to zip the rom and sign it. It is not that?
If you want you can download Cygwin the kitchen its very easy to work with it, but if you want upload some files and let me know where to copy them.
I'll post in some hours where did I get the THE KITCHEN Cygwin, Im going out now!

Xperia Arc S - Help With Install Cm9

Hello everyone,
im new in this forum, and two devices with android, the first is the "asus transformer prime" and the second is a new cellphone - Sony Xperia Arc S - and this is the problem.
I really dont like what sony do the android, the interface, beside iam very familiar with standart ICS in my "Prime" so i search a bit and found some posts about Cyanogen 9 (talking about performance ans stuff), but in that same posts i read that CM9 is only for "Xperia Arc" not "xperia arc S" and i need to use some external "kernell" to be loaded.
My questions are:
What i need to do to install CM9 at "arc s"?
What the procedures?
I need a external "kernel" or just extract the zip (cm-9.1.0-anzu.zip) and get the *.img ?
What is the easyest method to install it?
Can send me a easy guide to do it?
and finally. it will work in portugal? with the operator TMN?
Can someone post the link for one guide to do the install, that actually works?:fingers-crossed:
Thanks in advance for the answers
If i can make a clean and smooth install, for sure i will donate
(sorry my english)
p.s- i know they are a lot of posts about this, but is because that i cant find my way through they.

Install instructions:
1. Flash kernel (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
2. Install a Recovery (there are some around this forum)
3. Wipe (only required 1st time)
4. Flash Rom
5. OK！！

preferable the most stable version, i know they are a lot of them but cant choose because i don't have any experience on it.
Im thinking is use one of this two, whats better?
1 - this kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520654) with this room (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526717)
or
2 - this kernel (FXP128, by FreeXperiaProject) (come people say works fine) whit this room ( http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=anzu&type=) cm-9.1.0-anzu.zip
please advice,,
Thanks everyone

Hi all!
Hi!
to flash the kernel you'll need to do it via Fastboot. There are some guides in this section to help you get CWM recovery easily, but if you're a noob like me I'd give try to Flashtool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000012).
It's a little program that helps you out flashing kernels, roms and some other joyful gift from xda...
Try it out and let me know!
For the ROM/Kernel choice if you want a clean AOSP (android stock) experience go with the FXP CM9 or AOKP (for a little more customization)... If you browse the "Android Development" section you're going to find plenty about it and in the related thread you'll find some help with kernel choice!
I actually am on JJ's Hybrid Rom with ArcKnight kernel, it's based on Sony's firmware but looks like aosp (I don't like the CM9 camera) and it's really smooth!
Cheers and let me know if I helped you out! :fingers-crossed:

Hi ,
I believe you
Really helpfull man, i take a look at your description and look really nice room.
And i even have a option to install it with "Locked Bootloaders"(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673489) so if someting goes wrong i can restore the phone with Sony software (SEUS).
Can you tell me if this are the files you use? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1537717) you apply the patch too?
Im really happy with your feedback (i can see now some light at the end of the tunel)
To finish i have just one more litle question. is about the "baseband".
I am im Portugal and my phone is under TMN phone line. do you know if this rooms works fine? (i suppose it works because you can update too official ICS before start installing JJ's Hybrid Rom, but can you confirm this?) my thought is correct?
Best regards, and thanks for the reply.

Yeah that's the thread!
I applied the patch but it works just fine as it is, even without it!
baseband should be no problem, the problem is combination rom/baseband and not baseband/network (dunno if I can explain myself, sorry about it).
In other words, if your phone is on ics .431 stock and you flash this, you'll get the same baseband and everything's gonna work out!
I unlocked my bootloader so I'm not familiar with that kind of install but it should be even easier.
Let me know if you need any help about it, I hope we are not going too much OT!
Happy to help!

Nice :good:
i understand what you try to explain about baseband. no worry
dont know yet if i install this room by "unlocked bootloader" or "locked".
The Locked version have some vantages right? if i want to go to stock ics i can keep update the cellphne by Sony software. But im wondering, how many time the sony will update this phone? maybe not much,,because already listen someone say it will no get jellybean official update, so im really think in "unlock bootloader".
about the patch, how apply the pacth? right after instal the room, or reboot a couple of times them instal the patch?
by the way can you send me a link with the method to install it? dont want to mess with the room itself.
Thanks for all the support , really appreciate :highfive:

well,
I think this thread is the best if you need some guidance, I don't think I'd be better that this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188
Anyway if you unlock your BL, I'd proceed like this afterwards:
-backup all the things you need to keep from your phone because you're gonna delete all the data!
-download Flashtool, install all the drivers inside the drivers folder after the install, launch it and try to get your phone in "fastboot mode" (click on the lightning and select fastboot, then pick the button that suites you better )
-download the kernel you chose and flash the img by pressing "flash kernel img" in the fastboot menu (you may need to flash wifi modules later, so download them and put them inside your sd card
-download the .zip file of the rom you chose and put it inside your sd card
-ALWAYS DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE FROM CABLE BEFORE YOU TURN IT ON, not always, but sometimes it makes android crash
-turn on your phone and keep pressing volume down till you get to recovery
-select "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache", go to "advanced" and select "wipe dalvik cache"
-select "install...." (second option in the main menu) and then install from sd card and pick the ROM file...
-after the flash is over, do the last step again and select the WIFI MODULES
-reboot to system, check if everything's working, if you want to apply the patch (in JJ's rom case) turn off your phone, get to recovery again and install the related zip...
Anyway I hope I'll not be held responsible if your phone is gonna explode, mine didn't! :angel:
Good luck!

Good luck!

Hi, once again THANKS for this mini tutorial
No worry you will not be responsible if my phone meltdown , i know flashing is always a little risky, but if something goes wrong most of the time only need to rooting again e flash it. (little chance of burning literally the phone, only if doing insane overclocks), beside i try the "locked bootloade" first so, i think is even easier to restore factor ICS if something bad happens.(hope not) :fingers-crossed:
-when you install the patch, you don't clean cache or something? just install?
-about the hifi modules, i should install it or only if my wifi not work?
in my work days i don't have time to do this procedure but in weakend i want apply this. Really lov the stock ICS look, not that changed version of sony (i mean, is pretty, but don't like)
Thanks for all the help.

I didnt wipe cache or dalvik when I applied the patch... Wifi modules are linked with the kernel you choose, so if you dont flash them, wifi won't work...so "yes" is the answer in any case! let me know if everything works out!

You should when flashing any new ROM because it rules out any issues that might a rise after installing.

Not needed, but there is a baseband for CM9 which is in the thread, up to you if you want to use it or not.

Questions go to Q&A.
Also most of your questions would be answered, had you taken the time to read through the forums and search.

Hi, o.k e see.
i tell you if everything works and my opinion about the room .
by the way, im thinking in root the phone before doing the rooming just to test something, remove bloatware on xperia. My friend speak about this http://www.unlockroot.com/, do you know if its work? because as far as i know we need to downgrade the ics 4.0.4 to 4.0.3 to apply the rooting.

You'll have more system space, probably your phone will be smoother and stable.
Anyway, IMHO:
-change kernel if you're looking for performance improvement, overclocking/undervolting or some particular feature
-change rom if you find some features you'd like/need that are not inside the stock one or if you want to customize it.

USB is buggy, need to use ADB over WiFi.
Also Phone Calls are buggy acording to the Thread.
To learn more about the Bugs, check out the Thread of the Rom:

I tested it, and i think it is working pretty Bugless and Smooth (Depends on what you understand under "smooth" xD)

Hi
Thanks for the instructions. I'm going to try this out at the weekend, and wondered if I can ask a couple of questions?
0. Reflash your Flipout with RSD Lite:
does this mean flashing one of the .sbf files, and do I have to use any particular one?
Also, I'm currently on Orange in the UK. Once I've installed the ROM, will it still work, or will I need to change anything to make it work on Orange / UK?
Thanks

Yes, you should reflash a .sbf file if you have modified the System (Root for example).
Im German and dont have any clue about this Orange thing. If it is a Branding like Telekom in Germany, it will (Probaly) debrand it, but im not sure about that. You can do a NANDROID BACKUP in CWM, worked for me for restoration.

If you mean the Motorola Flipside, maybe you could just install the Rom on your Device. But im not sure, and i dont think anyone will port this
rom to such old devices. (Suprised that someone got it working on Flipout MB511)
I know no one want's to hear that, but: Buy a new Phone.
Motorola Flipout, Charm, Flipside are Legacy/Low Activity Devices for a reason!

[Q] how can I get instagram to work?

I've tried numerous ROMs on my wife's phone with no luck on getting it to work. It freezes up every time after you try to go to the page after the filters. She won't leave me alone about it and I'm getting desperate here. Please help me out.

Please help me out. A happy wife is a happy life.

Not sure about the rom as I flashed 3 or 4 last night in an attempt to find one that worked but the recovery is Clockwork mod. It either says it's not compatible with the device on GB ROMs or it gets stuck on the "processing" screen.

Which Roms? and i suggest installing SmelkusMod Recovery, its easy, just download the bootloader version (verify the MD5), and rename the file to PC36IMG.zip, put on sd card and reboot into bootloader, and it asks to install new PC36IMG and hit yes and it installs. easy. after that, the way you install new roms is easy too. Boot to new Recovery, wipe cache & dalvik , boot, cache, data, system (i like using the combo wipe called 'SuperWipe' which does boot, cache, data and system 3 times), then flash new rom and reboot.
then as for the gps issue that i was having, it was because i'm using a JB rom.

Jelly bread, slim bean, CM 10.1, hybrid engine/pie, digital karma, thundershock, unity 0 0.1... maybe more, I've lost count.

1. Remove any other installation of Instagram
2. Go into Play Store settings and DISABLE auto update..... (this detail is crucial, auto update will break this)
3. Double check that 'auto-update' us disabled....
4. Triple check it......
5. Now.... Install the Instagram from the link to my Dropbox...... http://db.tt/E3bG3Y6h

No problem bud..... Happy wife = Happy life (edit-angryITman beat me to that)

So....
This sounds awesome, but I'm wondering: what's different about your version that makes it work?
I am having the same problem. I will say that I used a Sense 1.0 based ROM for about ten minutes today (sooo ooooold), and it worked fine then. But any "I actually want this" ROM fails with Instagram. I want to try your solution, but not before I know why it works.

It's an older version. The up to date, most recent version obviously breaks, and since it 'worked before' the best option is to 'use what you had before' so I downloaded the previous version and tested it out....... It works. That's it. Just an older version. Nothing fancy bout it.

Because of the 8MP camera .. image size is to big for instagram to process... drop it down to 2MP instead and it will work for instagram 4.1

Feel free to discuss non-development-related topics here or ask any questions.

Creating an almost functional build of CM11 for the Buzz would be really tough isn't it?? I say this mainly because it does not have a GPU

Probably... I doubt it will ever be as "usable" as Kitkat on the HTC Wildfire S or Salsa....

Well I am guessing that he most likely would need a logcat to start with. You can get this by connecting your wfs to you PC and runing:
adb logcat > logcat.txt
Or you can install CatLog and app from the play store to get the logcat.

I believe the problem is with CMSetup. I am looking into it now.

That's unfortunately another issue with the proprietary GAPPs on our old devices we can't do much about.

Hi,
I've just installed the latest CM11 Version on my WFS. Everything works properly, but now i'm facing old problems: the internal storage is too little.
It's the first time i rooted a phone and I haven't yet installed Data2SD on it before, but I'd like to install Data2SD. So far I've tried to install Data2InstallerNXE2 and OnDemandSingleCoreZip. But none of these two worked. I got a "Failure" notification.
I tried it the following way:
-1st: partitionated the SD-Card with Minitool Partition Wizard: 8GB; now: EXT2: 1,5GB.
-then wiped everything
-installed CM 11
-booted
-tried to install Data2SD -> "Failure"
-because it didn't work I already installed the GAPPS.
As I said, the system works fine..but I've only some MB's left of storage... Did I do something wrong or were the versions I tried not the correct ones? Is there a possibility to increase the internal storage of the WFS? Which is it and how does it work?
Thanks for any help!
