Couple of questions.. - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

Good morning everyone, I have been here on XDA for some time now and all I can say is that this forum rocks, keep it up. Now, a friend of mine has this phone, Galaxy Gio, and he is really pissed by the fact that it has only 150 MB for installing apps and he asked me for help. Well, I told him that he could install a custom ROM and then he could move all his apps on the microSD card, he didn't like the idea at first but after a while I talked him into it. Now I need your help, in order to install app2sd(from darktremor I think) do I need to have a custom ROM or having a rooted phone is enough?Which ROM do you recommend in words of performance/stability ?I was thinking about BNC, Adrenaline or CM 7.2 but I haven't followed this phone's activity that much so I don't really know which rom is the best one. Also, every and each of these roms have app2sd integrated or do I need to install that separately?Sorry for my English if it's that bad. I hope you can help me, if you think that this questions have been asked before, you have my apologizes and you can close the thread without any problems. Have a nice day!

I am on a stock rom and have link2sd on my phone.
Works good to trow apps on the sdcard.
You can found info on this forum to install link2sd.

Your friends phone most have root al's it don't work.

Apps2Sd tutorial for noobs.. CDMA

Ok sooo i have an Htc Desire,obviously, and im kinda new to the whole modding and such not, but i have cyanogen mod 7 *up to date*, clockworkmod, but i have been trying to get Robo's RCMixS forever now and im sure i download it all the way, i downloaded the stock and cm7 because i still don't know the difference... I have rooted with unrevok3d or what ever.. Any Help?
Thanks in advance ,

If your rom is cyanogenmod it means that your phone is already rooted and you don't need to do it. You can find lots of information in this link:

About App2sd: this capability is included in most of custom roms by default or they will provide another file which you have to flash it after installing the rom. For canogenmod and some other roms you can use some apps which are available in the market like S2E to do it for you. I am personally using Cyanogenmod 7 with S2E which is work perfect to move the apps to sd card and let me install unlimited number of apps

I know this is a pretty old thread, but I couldn't find any other thread which had any answer.
Does anyone have a step by step guide to CM 7.2?
I'm a noob and don't want to make any mistake. I have done a nandroid backup so I'm good to go.

HTC Sense Ver : 2.1
Software Number : 2.26.720.3
I request if anyone can help me in getting the below questions answered or can guide me to respective link where i can get answers:

3.Which is the best stable rom that runs all the applications.
4.My daily use includes: Camera, Camcoder, Internet, Internet pass through, bluetooth. Any stable rom which do not have issues with these applications.

Hi,
Welcome to XDA
1. Take backup of your personal data first (Like: Contact, Pics, Videos, docs,etc..)
2. You can get beck to your old STOCK ROM. After rooting your device you will take a complete NANDROID BACKUP, which will restore your previous one. (When needed).
3. I would suggest you to go for the Disciplexone ROM or WildChild 3. Disciplexone ROM was doing good for me, when I had it before CM9.
4. You will get more options than in your list.
You never have to worry about anything, since the device will make wonders after you root. (But more caution required).
Hope this may be useful. (If really press 'Thanks').

Hey welcome here.
1. There are many ways to take backup. I suggest you take a nandroid backup (i.e. backup with cwm recovery) just after you flash a custom recovery. It'll restore the phone in as it is state if something goes wrong.
For apps and all i generally use Titanium Backup. It works great.
2. There is a thread for stock ROMs in Android Development Forum here. You'll find yours there.
3. Umm That is a tuff question. For me CM9 does but it has some minor bugs if they don't affect you.. JB is still in development so I won't recommend it. Go for CM7 or any GB rom as they are mostly free of bugs.
4. Disciple1's ROM, Sense 3.5 EQDKP, Wildchild and CM7.
5. I don't know what to say about it as I installed the first version of WC3 and I came back to CM9 in a day. It was really unstable for me. Maybe just me.
6. Just unlock bootloader and flash a custom recovery and then make a nandroid. the bootloader will be unaffected though.
7. Oh there aren't any.

[Q] Why do some Roms support apps like game guardian and game CIH?

hi everyone, I am a noob here and don't know how to put my question across so that it makes sense and people with experience can make me understand the difference.
I have been using custom Roms almost since a month after I bought my n7100. It was a little scary initially but I became more confident and as such haven't had any major issues. Let me come to the point without further ado :-
I had been running Phoenix rom v 18.8 till recently, before I changed to Dr. Ketan's rom v.8. While on phoenix rom the apps like game CIH and game guardian or game killer were working perfectly but on Dr. Ketan's rom even though I get the su prompt and grant the app superuser rights it still gives a message saying my device is not rooted!!
I know both these Roms like most others are pre-rooted which means the apps should work on both. This kind of issue has bn coming up since 4.3 where again in a pre-rooted rom some apps wouldn't recognize root and some simply said access denied even though I have granted it when supersu pops up to ask whether to allow the app or not. I was hoping Dr. Ketan Hindocha or Tamirda will be able to tell me what the difference is and how I can have the same access as I have with phoenix rom, in other Roms as well.
I know both Dr. Ketan and tamirda are some of the great ppl out here who have made android fun but due to this I didn't think I should disturb them with my question as they are already hard pressed for time releasing Roms and providing support. I would be grateful if someone could tell me how I can make it work in any rom just like it does with phoenix.
I hope my question makes sense and look forward to your advice and suggestions. I apologize for posting in a wrong manner or at the wrong place if I have unconsciously done that.
Thanks, centaur31 ciao 4 now

[Help needed] Moving from Cynogenmod13 to other ROM

Dear all,
I wish someone could help me here.
I recently bought a second-hand Note 10.1 2014 (P605) which seems running on Cyanogenmod 13. First i noticed that it doesn't recognised my sim card, then camera is also crashing.
After reading around, i found out that this is the issues with CM13
hence i'm thinking to move to other stable rom.
my question would be:
1. Can recommend me a good and stable rom? i don't need anything fancy, as long as stable and light. currently i'm in progress downloading David's rom, is that ok?
2. Moving from CM to other rom, can i simply follow instruction on the ROM's thread? for instance, if i am going to use David's rom, just follow the steps there? any prerequisite things to be done first? i just want to ensure that i will be on the right path. because i read on the cyanogenmod website, this system had it own recovery and heimdal and stuffs, i'm a bit worried that it is somehow created a different things in the system (i don't even know how to say this correctly).. is it alright for me to simply flash another recovery and ROM?
sorry for the dumb question. hope someone will be kind enough to guide me. thanks in advance
