Are there any Galaxy Gio GT-S5660M (Canadian) ROMs currently in development? Arpeggiomod is a nice rom, but I hate Gingerbread. To add, ny stock ROM is faster than Arpeggiomod. I know I probably can't do any better, but I still have a good 2 years left of my phone contract and I want my Gio to be fast, fluid and responsive. I have tried ROMs for other models of the Gio, but they either don't work or they don't appeal to me. Getting to the point, I was wondering if anyone would be up to the challenge and develop a ROM specifically for GT-S5660M. Can someone help me start and learn to develop a ROM? It'd be really appreciated.
any rom that is not flashed by ODIN but in recovery can be used, the only thing is that it isnt called a s5660m model anymore, but every hardware works.

Please, only say "every hardware works" when you ACTUALLY HAVE an GT-S5660M.
OR at least understand what the thread-opener wants to say, before just throwing vague and meaningless stuff around.
The thread-opener (and for the novices in general) can withdraw nothing useful from your post that concretely will help him flashing his S5660M without causing some major problems to GT S5660M (for example the radio).

maybe you should consider not replying useless posts.
I think, regarding your posts, I have a bit more experience than you.
''any rom that is not flashed by ODIN but in recovery can be used.''

and there's nothing wrong about this sentence, as its just the truth.
Radio is different, indeed, but the radio does not get overwritten within the .zip file that is flashed via custom recovery. only in odin-flashable .tar.md5 files theres a file called 'Amss" wich is the actual radio file, and is different between S5660 and S5660M models.
however, these files are only for odin, and can not be flashed in recovery.
so, my point is just right.
as long as you don't flash roms with ODIN, nothing can happen, as it does not overwrite the radio files, as I already said before. roms via recovery don't flash anything that is different with the S5660 or S5660M.
maybe you are the novice-wich-doesn't-understand here. you are the one throwing vague and meaningless stuff around. you should consider aquiring some more knowledge before talking like that.

Hey there, I have a 5660m (5 of them!) and have flashed many a rom. Arpegio was great for its time, I believe darkshado created it (Guessing, its been a while). However, there are soooo many great roms out for this device now. As previously stated, and 100% agreed with, if you have recovery installed, you can use the 5660 roms too. A year ago, when I got mine, there was a modem differential. However that has been explained in the above posts. I can think of several that I prefer but am hesitant to state any one. I started with cy4noobs, then moved to McClaw's ICS (I hope I'm giving proper cedit to dev's), MIUI is a unique interface, there are so many. I'm pretty sure there is a list of roms that will work......gimme a sec.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535320. I've been through almost everyone of these (i'm a flasher, in the legal sense :laugh. Some may seem outdated but still work well, make sure you look through the dates, and the logs to make sure you have the functionality you wish to achieve. Happy flashing!:victory:

You mentioned that most ROMs work - I've tried Maclaw's AOSP ICS and each version or update (Beta 1, Beta 2, Beta 3 and RC1) fails to work. By work I mean that it flashes properly and boot properly but it freezes on the lock screen for a moment then a screen saying 'Encryption Failed' appears and asks me to factory reset the phone with a button below. The button clicks but doesn't do anything and when I manually factory reset via recovery, the same screen appears after boot!

JellyBread looked and worked nice. But then batch restored my apps with Titanium. Somewhere it freezed. I let it be. But after my first reboot, JellyBread freezed on bootscreen. Then i reinstalled it. Rebooted several times, to be sure. And again after i restored some apps, it didnt boot.

Hey guys,
I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I've searched on the forums and on Google with no luck. Recently, my sound stopped working on my GSIII running CarbonRom 1.6. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, it just stopped working one day. Also when I'm in a call, the person on the other line cannot hear me. I've checked the sound settings numerous times and have made sure that I am not in silent mode.
I have tried other 4.2.2 ROMs and they all have produced the same result. I have also tried a factory reset and formatted data in TWRP. I reverted back to stock and have noticed that the sound seems to work when I'm not running 4.2.2 ROMs. Does anyone know what the problem might be? I really prefer the look and feel of vanilla Android and I'm really bummed out that 4.2.2 ROMs seem to kill sound. Thanks.

That's an easy questiion, like I have been saying all along none of the cm10/aosp/aokp or ported roms
are ready for prime time, they are good for those who want to experiment with a few features not found
in stock t999 4.1.1 Touchwiz Jellybean roms. None of the cm/aosp/aokp roms even have the Wifi calling feature.
That's why after trying all the aosp/aokp/CM and ported roms I have come to the conclusion above.
So unless you like experimentation only flash T-Mobile T999 stock 4.1.1 Touchwiz Jellybean roms
or any of the custom roms which are based on T-Mobile T999 Touchwiz v4.1.1 Jellybean stock rom.
The best custom T999 T-Mobile Touchwiz Jellybean 4.1.1 based rom in my opinion
is the Wicked v9.1 custom rom, check it out you won't be disappointed.
Good Luck!
You could always try to flash your 4.2.2 Tim of choose and choose not to restore Google backup, Google backs up settings. If it works without setting up your account then go from there.

so the problem is pretty self explanatory if you read the title. I keep losing my 4g when i switch to a custom rom. Specifically a custom 4.2.2 rom like
slimrom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277770
or
paranoidandroid
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118370
both of them say that they support 4g but when i go and install them i lose my 4g and my 3g is spotty sometimes.
I live in an area with a strong 4g signal and used to drive to and from work with 4g on all the time. Now i have 3g and it goes out sometimes.
So than i am left having to reinstall stock with
[ROM][RESTORE][5-12-13]Back to UNROOTED Stock with Auto Flash Count Reset
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769
with the root.zip so i can have superuser and than install TWRP with goomanager so i can get my custom recovery back.
If i dont restore my phone back to stock with all that comes in that custom zip i wont get my 4g back even if i clear out slimroms and just install a stock 4.1.2 rom.
so what am i doing wrong?!
It would also be a great bonus to me if someone can also explain to me why i dont get MMS in any of the 4.2.2 roms as well.
What i have tried so far...
1. I have tried using "pimp my rom" to get to the hidden menu and that didnt work
2. i have my msl and tried to mess about with ##3282# using this little tutorial and it didnt work
4G LTE Connection Fix For Sprint Phones (...worked for me at least..........)
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...ection-fix-sprint-phones-worked-me-least.html
3. I have reinstalled just a plain stock rom (not listed above) after backing up a custom 4.2.2 rom with nandroid and resetting the network mode back to lte/cdma from automatic and than restored the 4.2.2 rom. That didnt work
I would like a SOLID, DEFINITIVE, CONCRETE answer on what is going wrong and how to fix this problem please.

A little reading goes a long way. In case clicking is too much effort I'll summarize. A recent change to CM 10.1, the base for all of our 4.2.2 Roms, broke 4g. they are looking into it. You can locate a nightly before 5/28 or stick with TW if it is a deal breaker. Have a nice day

even though your answer is packed with sarcasm ill still accept it. thx for your help. I dont read that thread as i have no interest in nightlies because i want a daily driver. I didnt know that they use nightlies to make the custom roms. i thought it was just stable CM10.1 only. Anyways thx again.

This isn't my first time messing with ROMs and ROOT stuff. On my HTC EVO 4G I messed with everything.
Anyway, my question. Does anyone have a good 4.4.2 ROM that is fairly stable? I tried CM11 but the camera kept crashing and I use my camera daily. I also tried Gummy but it would hang on the first time boot activation attempt. I tried skipping the activation and my 3G worked for a little while then quit working completely. If there are any ideas how to get those two ROMs to work I'm all ears.
I am coming from this 4.3 ROM
Thanks,

Hey guys. So, I am a little frustrated with the ROMs available. I am hoping that you guys can help me. Right now I am on Emotion ROM. Great ROM. Love the way the UI looks. But I have been having too many problems and at this point I am ready to just flash the most basic ROM out there. I love customization as anyone does. But I also like stability. What would you guys suggest I flash? Customization and stability is important. But like I said worst case scenario I will flash the most basic stable rom if I have too. Suggestions?
MOAR is very customizable and very stable. But you have to follow the directions in the 1st post precisely otherwise you'll run into issues.
I heard that MOAR was being updated as well.
I had MOAR 2.1b , now running Dr.ketan's S7 rom. Major improvement. My note 4 has never been this fast/stable.not a single FC or crash.everything works.battery life has never been better.MM is something else in terms of fluidity.would highly recommend Dr.ketan's S7 rom.

I think I'll wait for that ROM to get a little more popular. Would it matter if I downloaded a stock rom with a bad ass kernel?
I believe you can use his kernel on stock ROMS

If you're talking about dr. Ketans rom. I had no issues with the texting incoming or outgoing. I belive i was prompted to install a mandatory patch for the rom soon after it booted up the first time. Mabye that fixed it? Or mabye i just didnt face the problem because im using it on a GSM network.
