[GT-S5660][ROM] Jonas Hendrickx's ROM v3.1 [2.3.5][XXKS2]

About this ROM
This ROM is all about battery, performance and stability. GioPro, SimpliGio, and Sgg dt have many tweaks which are not working due to syntax errors. While some others may work but are not optimized for our Gio. Don't get me wrong. They are great roms! But I hope I can correct what I feel they did wrong.

I had integrated app2sd. But it was not working on reboot. So I had to reapply it again.
I am currently asking people for help on how I can keep a2sd on start.
However a2sd can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209425
If you happen to know a solution on how to auto start scripts let me know

i dont know. for link2sd i use script manager to run "install-recovery.sh"

I will look for script manager.I will work as fast as possible

good work !! screenshot plz

Please, no default ROM manager. There are users who brick their phones using ROM manager, apparently without doing stupid things. Please see here: http://s5660.pl/temat-martwy-gio
forum is in polish, but google translate will do a good job
And if I'm allowed, please let me tell what I would like to see on a "generic" custom rom:
- rooted;
- root explorer integrated;
- deodexed;
- phone should not be unlock by menu (power) button + left touch button (as with gio versions);
- safe tweaks to memory;
- a2sd installed but not activated (I don't like logs full of errors from a2sd);
- GUI: icons from GIOpro_v3, CRT animation, unlock buttons from simplygio (the round blue-red ones, with a sharp corner) - or a separate theme (maybe editable by userd) that can be applied;
- default: launcher (can be changed by user, no big deal), music player, no app that can be installed simply from market or internet.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and (the most important!) your work with us!

Screenshot Please.
I also would like to not to have unlock by menu option.

Screenshots coming!
Do you guys mind I replaced the default messaging mms.apk with Go SMS Pro? Since there happens to be a bug in mms.apk on every Gio that makes the keyboard appear relatively slower.
v1.4 will feature Touchwiz launcher again, removed CWM

Go SMS Pro is free on the market, and removing mms.apk is easy with root explorer, isn't? I don't think you should bother replacing the default one.
In place, I propose to do something like Slax:simple updates that can be applied over the ROM, to add (or change) functionality.
so, for example, there should be one update to replace the default messaging application with Go SMS Pro.
is-it reasonable? it should help you to release a clean bug-free ROM, and users will not flash the whole system over and over again. IMHO this will be great.

-then don't include root explorer (but prepare all the background for it to work properly)
-uot kitchen is online for the moment... who will know how it will be a week from now... but yes, it's a good idea to have a few themes as zip file to be updated on the phone.

Root Explorer suckes in my opinion...
Try looking for Advanced Tools (free)
It has a built in task manager which is able to see everything. Not just running programs, even the acore etc...
The file explorer is far superior to those I have seen. You also have like 4 tabs.
A build.prop editor is also in it.
If you guys want I will release a quick fix with just the Mms.apk and touchwiz30launcher.apk back in action. But I am actually working on ext2 conversion and support for /cache /data and /system for our phone... So far it works, I have Quadrant score of 1600

Advanced Tools is looking good, but I did not test-it enough (yet).
1600 on Quadrant is quite a good score, it just tell us that you are on the right way!
I understand that at this moment moving/extending some folders on the sdcard is the hardest part. What happens with the system when card is connected as storage on the PC? Only fat32 partition is unmounted? More...I'm almost sure that the speed of sdcard is inferior to the speed of internal storage, so moving everything on the card will slow-down the phone. Installing conventional linux on sdcard/usbstick is not recommended: usual read-write cycles of the OS wear the sdcard/usbstick very fast.
So, imho, only the storage folder of android OS should be moved.
I still vote for a minimum modified ROM, that will allow any other modification with only "updates" and simple file replace/edit on the OS.

and another thought: "free RAM is useless RAM",
in other words: internal memory of the phone should not be as empty as possibly... (it's like you have a fast car in the garage but you use a slow and hungry cart to drive)

GT-S5660M ?
Will this work on the Samsung GT-S5660M
This is apparently slightly different version that is sold in Canada by Bell and Virgin Mobile. This thread explains more about the differences

If I5660XXKQB works for your phone then this one will work as well.
My personal opinion is every model has its own firmware. For the best experience of your phone and the least bugs, you should use your own phone's firmware for your safety.
But I remember I5800 and I5801 being fully compatible with eachother. But this wasnt the case for I5000 and I5000L for example. Honestly I don't know it is you having that phone !

cool!.......

owh hell yeah thanks arnoslag!

first report I've received from the field, saj222 says "it boots!"
that's all I know so far...

Thanks for the port Arnoslag!
Yes it booted. After it settled down I ATTEMPTED to install Fly kernel 13, but the phone didn't boot up afterwards. I installed Las Venturax 0.6.2 and everything was fine again.
Some observations (in no particular order):
-camera seems to sort of work. I got a FC when trying to take a picture. Did not try video.
-during syncing of gmail account the phone was very slugglish but this was expected
-removed all the sense widgets except the flip clock and it seemed to help speed up the ROM's responsiveness... as did turning off animations. edit: I removed the flip clock too. edit#2: I used setcpu to crank up the min and max to 652MHz and it has helped the unlock ring and general usage. ring unlock is still a little laggy.
-wifi works fine, so does 3G data
-have had a couple of superuser FC's when going into setcpu
-in one instance I received a phone call and hung up after 4 seconds. The phone got really slow and then I got a sense FC which made sense restart.
-whatever version of market is on this ROM is slow
-there is no web browser included in this ROM
~~~~~~~~~~~
edit: was trying to download Gmaps from the market over wifi when market hung and gave me an FC for com.android.mms

u think is it possible to revert back to older Market? the newer Market seems slow on loading, probably heavy on graphics..

i've mirrored the rom on my server here.

the camera can take a pic, but have no zoom function. weather animations seems lacking its animation(like fog animation, cloudy animation). only rain animation is visible(well, my place won't snow, it's near equator).

I'm offering free hosting for your rom and you made a affiliate link for it ?

[ROM] ICS 4.0.3 With working camera [UPDATE 01.05.2012]

A new version is now out, and it contains some major improvements in terms of performances and speed. It has Las_Venturas 1.0RC3+ kernel packed (thanks @jordfaz), the new camera fix (thanks @stritfajt), the scripts are now up and running (thanks @riemer for the tip), fixed app2sd and cache2cache script, Habarug's modded Phone.apk (disabled the red hang up button), a new Evervolv Toolbox + a superb boot animation (probably the best boot animation I've saw from 2009 till now). It also includes a nice script called 13cpuspeed from where you can set your own values and governor. You can see the values changed in evervolv toolbox under performance tab.
Right now when you flash the zip, the cpu speed is OC'd at: 264-652 smartass V2. I suggest you increase the min value to 352mhz. I've done this to avoid flashing a 'safe' kernel on top of the rom for those heroes that cannot support higher cpu speeds and also it's a safe way to change your values from within the script, no need for 3rd party app.
Why it is improved? Because in v2 and lower, the scripts were lying in init.d but they did not activate on boot thus making them basically useless.
But there is one more script left in init.d that it's not working. This is the *****! '02ramconfig'. This basically sets the internal task killer to higher values giving our hero a little boost in speed. I have tried many ways to force it to start. IT seems that when the boot animation is on, the values are set according to the script, after that, the values turn to normal.
We will investigate this further as we move our focus towards 4.0.5 when the sources are out. But at the time being I will show you other ways to activate the script, so don't delete it:
Keep in mind that you need to do it on every boot. Just choose a way that suits you best and do it every time you reboot your phone.
1. install AMM - auto memory management - from the market, and set it at mild or agressive.
2. If you have android sdk installed on your computer, just make this:
enter cmd and navigate to your android-sdk\platform-tools
Connect your device (make sure you have usb debugging enabled from settings).
Type adb shell and now you should type this command:
Code:
echo 1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
after this, to see if the values are set, you can try this:
Code:
cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
and if it looks like this; 1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000 you are ready to go.
3. If you have 'Root Explorer.apk' you can press on any of the script from init.d (minfree, cpuspeed) and select run as Linux Script Handler -> Execute.
And the values should fire up. Note: for cpu speeds, do this after you've changed your cpu settings using a text viewer (explorer works also).
I suggest you all guys flash this latest version because includes almost all major fixes and the call drop should be fixed in this. Also, you can install apex launcher for a better performance, you will never regret it. You can enable some cool features that LV Kernel comes packed with (zRam or Kernel samepage merging briefly known as ksm). I suggest play with ksm and see how it goes.
Another nice tweak you can make to increase performance is to limit the processes to only "4" from settings-developer options-background process limit. You can play with this value as well but I suggest leaving it at 4 if you want to be enabled.

Known Bugs:
- SetupWizard reloads and turns a black screen for a couple of seconds at start up.
- screen turns black for a couple of seconds when using the gyroscope.
Keep in mind that this is in the early stage of development so not everything will be completely stable or working perfectly.
You flash this ROM at your own risk! Be sure to make a nand backup and do a full wipe before flashing.

Video preview of the ROM: (Thanks to gkillerx)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8zvkA8SQzs
* Recommended Flashing Instructions * *YOU CAN USE CWM OR AMON_RA***
1 - full wipe: data + cache + dalvik cache
2 - flash lights format all
3 - flash the ROM zip
4 - flash the kernel from above if youre phone does not support cpu settings of 652Mhz
5 - reboot: the first boot will take awhile
6 - ensure everything is loaded and settled by letting the screen timeout and waiting a minute or so before waking it up and proceeding
7 - go through the google setup wizard and then wait another couple mintes to allow the rest of the ROM to load up and any google data to sync
8 - reboot and allow things to load up again
9 - everything should now be ready to go
* Tips *
Enable "Force GPU Rendering" in "Settings - Developer Options" (it helps flinger to be more smooth).
Disable "Report usage and errors" in "Apex Settings - Advanced settings".
Use setcpu.apk or similar overclock app
Use autokiller.apk or similar taskkiller app
In settings->developer options: make sure window & transition animations are off
In settings->language & input->android keyboard: turn off popup/vibrate on keypress
Can open a running apps list by long-pressing the home button & swipe(or long-press) to clear (useful if an app won't open or system slows down to clear out some memory)
Disabling an app is very easy in ICS: either through the manage app screen or by dragging a particular app from the drawer to the "app info" section displayed at the top of the screen, you'll find a button to disable that app
Performance-wise it could be worthwhile to play around with the "background process limit" and "don't keep activities" options in settings->developer options
The ICS launcher makes it simple to create & use folders: just drag one icon on top of another, let go, and they will now be in a folder together which you can name whatever you like.
Apex settings - drawer settings - Disable Show Widgets tab (it helps on app drawer faster open/close).

looking forward to flashing this. cant flash as of now because need a stable phone but hopefully i'll be able to test sometime next week
i really hope its possible to get a stable ics rom on the hero *fingers crossed*

Nandroiding now Will test for a few hours before I go out
Edit: Slow download or is it just my comp?

@samm000: thank you for your work, can't wait to flash this rom, gotta see the camera working
@Habarug : yeah sloow download speed, it will take 1 hour to download the rom but I am patient
Edit: I flashed it after a full wipe, but not even after waiting 30 minutes it never passed beyond the splash screen (HERO screen), so it was in a bootloop.. gonna try to download the rom again when i get home from work.

Okay, I finally got it working here. Keyboard and pulldown and such is really smooth! but lots of apps, like search, browser, email, voice search etc is FCing all the time :/ Even Launcher is, so I can't use it ....
Edit: trying to reflash
Edit2: ....this is so awesome
Edit3: I'll try this today There are some resize issues, like the statusbar widgets being really high, I can try to fix it when I have time

has anyone actually gotten this to boot? anyway, try the CM9 launcher, it looks exactly like native ICS launcher but with more options and on glassmacka rom it was reported to be faster than the native launcher

be sure to wipe all data and system (format boot, data, system and cache in recovery)
I use my ROM for A several days now and I can say that the rom is very fast
there is no need to install other launchers.
if you like you can allways install other launchers.

Thank you so much for this ROM!
After having it installed and used it only briefly I must say it works pretty smooth. It's not slow at all! Feels great that our old HTC is still in the game!

I can confirm that its fast and stable

flashing "OpenGL_2.0_by_harut56.zip" will turn the rom's "ro.opengles.version=131072" into "ro.opengles.version=65537" ... isn't that going to revert OpenGL from 2.0 to 1.1 or am I wrong and confused?

you are right,
I have turn on the hw acceleration in alpha 1.0.2 but didnt test it yet,
it looks like that it can work on opengl 2.0 without flashing it.
please test it again
Thank you for that

no problem gonna leave my phone to charge for a while .. it's at 3% , I'm gonna flash the rom in a few hours.

[ROM] Mi-Roid {PORT} MiuiAndroid v2.11.30 w/ Control Panel

I proudly present to you...... Mi-Roid
Mi-Roid is my port of the crespo MIUIAndroid weekly build with many additions, tweaks and mods added together for a great user experience. If there’s something you'd like added in feel free to post or pm me
For those of you wondering what Miui is.... that is a hard thing to describe but in a genreality it is a complete rebuild of android based on AOSP from the ground up. It has a build in theme manager that makes Cyanogen's look like childs play, you can change almost any little thing instead of applying an entire theme or you can apply an entire theme. It has build in virus scanning, autostart app control, flashlight app and all the goodies of cyanogen or other AOSP roms but in a whole new fashion. It is sort of IPhoneish but still feels like android not some apple product. If you dislike the launcher feel free to download any of your standard favourite launchers and use them, it'll free up some memory too.
Check out this video showing what Miui is
A few of my favorite features are listed below:
**While on the lockscreen if you press and hold home the flashlight will turn on for 30sec
**While on the homescren if you long press home the memory manager comes up to clear/free up memory
I plan on updating by Sunday night or Monday morning following the friday release of each weeks build. This will give me a few days to make sure the basics are working and to try and add features as i work a lot during the week and weekend gotta survive this cruel world somehow
If you have issues or questions please post them up here as someone may be able to help you on the forum before i check my PM's or get online to read/post.
Please Read the rest of this post and the ones below it for all info regarding issues and install before asking a question, i know it's pointless to ask this but maybe it'll save me one headache and at least one noob a thrasing from the senior members.

Previous Builds - will be posted soon
Install and Setup Directions Below in 2nd Post
Common Issues, Solutions and FAQ in 3rd Post

I advise doing a complete wipe for each build and not "dirty" flashing each weeks new build as this could cause issues.
If you are already running Miui you can also use the included backup tool to backup your apps and data, beware that this app does not backup paid for apps, so for example it will backup Titanium Backup but not the Pro Key so you'll have to download some apps via the market again
**Install Instructions***
1) Use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and data
2) Download the latest Mi-Roid version and place at the "Root" of your SD Card
3) Boot into Clockwork or whatever recovery you use and make a backup
4) Do a complete wipe, this would be your dalvik cache, cache, data, system, & boot.
5) Select the Install zip from SD option
6) Select the latest Mi-Roid version you just downloaded
6a) ***Optional*** Install Kernel Of Choice
7) Once install is completed reboot the system and let it boot up
8) After the system has booted up you can reboot into Clockwork and restore your data
***** BEWARE THERE IS A 30 SECOND TO 1 MINUTE LONG BLACK SCREEN BEFORE THE MIUI.US BOOT IMAGE COMES ON. THIS IS NORMAL, JUST WAIT A MINUTE AND YOU'RE BOOT UP WILL START****
***Things to do Upon 1st boot***
-Open MiuiStats from the pulldown and save the preferance to enable reporting, this lets Miui know we're using their ROM and to keep making it for us
-Open the Download Manager and go into the Settings and set the warning limit to 50mb and then turn off the Data download prompt to stop the market not letting you download huge apps. it will only give you a warning to use wifi on files over 50MB, but if uncheck the download on wifi only button and click proceed it'll download even those.
-Open the Play Store and sign into your Google Account
-While everything is Syncing open up Settings and select your google account. Select the option "Location &Settings" and turn it on. This will allow Google Maps and all other Google Services to use GPS for location locks, if you don't do this then GPS will work for all other apps but Google ones
-Open the Permission Manager, this is Superuser for Miui, and click on Manager root apps and turn it on or else your apps won't get superuser permissions. there is a series of 4 or 5 questions it asks before you click accept to root access on apps, so beware.
-Download the following apps
- Voodoo Sound
- Script Manager - this is for supercharging
-Open the Camera as the 1st start up takes a few seconds to a minute to initialize and sometimes it will fc and you'll need to open it again and wait
-Reboot into Clockwork, fix permissions, and Enjoy MI-Roid
****Optional**** Open Script Manager and supercharge your phone - see the FAQ for some important info on supercharging do's and don'ts
-Reboot and Enjoy MI-Roid
I'll post more as i think about it and get to the FAQS section below later tonight and i have screen shots too, just very tired from porting the toolbox and work this weekend

*****FAQS******
Q) What Kernel Is Included with this Rom?
A) Matrix CFS v24
Q) Do I need to flash gapps over this?
A) Nope, the google account framework is included as well as the latest PlayStore.apk, just download whatever apps you want from the Play Store. However here is a link the latest GAPPS working on Miui
Q) When I Send A Text Over 160 characters the reciepient gets a garbled message
A) This won't happen anymore because i modified the app to convert a sms to an MMS as soon as you hit the 160 character limit
Q) How Do I Supercharge My Phone
A) Go here to and download the latest version from zeppelinrox's thread, be sure to thank him too. Once you have downloaded the latest v6 script place it at the "Root" of your SD card. Open up script manager, be sure to give it root access. Select the v6 supercharger scipt and mark the little su icon to run it as su. Click on run, and follow the on screen instructions.
*****This is very important, when setting up your drivers options, do not, i repeat DO NOT select to apply the "Miscellaneous Tweaks & 3G Enhancements", a better version of these are in my init.d scripts!!!!! You also don't need to apply the wheel alignment either as that is another script already provided****
Q) I see lots of apps running when i first start my phone and don't want some of them running
A) Go into the Security Center folder and open the App Manager app, you can use it to select what apps and their services start and run in the background at boot
Q) The stock lockscreen is laggy
A) Yes it is, this is widely known in the Miui community, but it has a plethora of options built into it. If you want a faster one download any v4 theme and go into the theme manager under the mix section and apply it. The same goes for just about any thing or apperance you don't like about stock Miui, you can apply whole themes or just select parts

Nice work. gonna have to try this

Do you need Miui gapps from the site or any gapps will do?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

you don't need gapps, the google framework for google accounts and playstore are included, any other gapps can be downloaded from the market. do not flash gapps from CM or other AOSP roms as you'll get a few apps that shouldn't be there
if for some reason someone needs a certain gapp let me know, but this is the NS4G a CDMA phone only available in the US so we shouldn't have any restrictions on apps

Great work. Thanks for the port.. I've been waiting to try out a JB build of MIUI. You just made my weekend.

No problem, the JB version of Miui is quite nice. if you are going to flash a custom kernel i had the least amount of issues with Mathkids Matrix v23, it has voodoo sound and blinking BLN built in. I just updated my FAQ post but i have had severe issues with several of the other kernels in terms of bluetooth and battery drain so beware

Wow.. finally someone port jb miui for nexus s 4G, thank you
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

Awesome... I love MIUI...

Can anyone post some screenshots?

Not bad! Going to give a run through.. Seems fine so far.
Screenshots attached as requested. This is right after first boot.

This looks AWESOME! I went back to stock jellybean, but I'm going to root and install this later! How does battery life seem so far? Yeah, yeah, I know, give it a couple of days for the kernel to settle, but still... xD

Can anyone trying this confirm if 4g works?

And battery.. Way too early to tell. I'm only an hour into using it.

Will you be releasing an add on pack. For DPI etc ....
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

haven't used miui in awhile does it still show high usage when u kill apps going to try when i get home wat kernel is everybody using thanks

sick. thanks for the confirmation.. on rasbean now but may have to give this a go....i miss miui and the ics version was crap, but the gb version didnt have 4g.

It's a little "heavy" feeling but MIUI isn't exactly a lightweight ROM so I expected that.. I had tried the ICS version and it was unbearable slow.. So far this is pretty damn good all things considering (feature filled custom JB ROM on 2 year old phone)

Nice ROM at lease jellybean miui is fast & smooth when compared to miui ICS which was way to laggy but miui is not my cup of tea I'm rocking Rasbean

works very well on P1
Thx for your great work! I am surprised that nobody on XDA comment on this? There are not many quality ROM
options for us (like for my previous phone, HTC DESIRE) so i am glad if someone like you did great job and give
us ROM which can be used daily, even it is officially in beta. This Emotion UI is basically renamed MIUI project
so i exactly know what to expect.
Great thing is that is sound now "Dolby enhanced" for all system, not just when you play music. Battery life is OK
(I use "intelligent" settings). What I missing, is Huawei keyboard, which I think is very good, and have bigger letters then
Xperia keyboard, anyway, since I do not care about swype, I installed GO Keyboard. One thing that I personally do not
like in MIUI-like ROM, is IOS behaviour of putting all apps (old and new) on home screen, so i must rearrange them and
put in folders. Also, what is missing and i think for others will be good, if they come from "classic Android", is application
which shows all installed apps in one click (in my case, I use "Draweroid", and its icon I put at the bottom, in the middle,
so i can always can back to "normal apps show").
In my case, I originally came from ROM B100 (Croatia, Vipnet). I upgraded to latest B229, flashed Clockworkmod v5.5
touch and root the phone. After that, it comes you ROM. Please continue to upgrade it

which android version is this? 4.1.2?
how is the performance and battery life?
is it stable?

Just a heads-up marismillas. Root Explorer is a paid app and is then pirated if you release it free in your ROM. You should remove it from your ROM and re-upload your nice work.

Great job marismillas!
Regne de Htcmania

Temporarily closed and link removed until some things get sorted out.
Edit: Re-opened.

New version aviable, remove root explorer.
Sorry for that.

Do you have a mirror link for a site where it's possible to download the file without having to register?

wow!!! thanks

I wanted to ask a few questions before installing the ROM:
There is the online store that to download themes?
There is the theme ANDROID? (the one with icons stock etc.).
How do you get the status bar black? (it is much better than white)
Still great job ... keep it up!

Not bad at all.........
I installed this Rom at the weekend. It works MUCH better than the Emotion UI 1.5 (B315) ROM from Huawei.
I was impressed with the stability and that there is about 200MB more available space with this ROM compared to the one above after installing over 70 apps.
There are a few issues though:
The phone signal does seem to not be as strong as it was on the old B229 ICS ROM though.
The Ringtones seem to go back to default after restarting sometimes.
The battery life could be better.
Also, all of my weather widgets that worked on B315 now have missing icons (see red box in the attachment). This happens with both Eye In The Sky and BeWeather. Is there a fix for this? Or any similar widgets that actually work?

Just a follow up on my point about weather widgets problems. I have now tried 3 other widgets that provide multi-day forecasts and none of them work. It seems to be a location issue whereby if they cannot determine your location, they don't load properly.
