I need to upgrade my dad's 5660M Gio.
I loaded SimplyGio 1.3 over a year ago and I see a lot of ROMS available now.
Any suggestion for a good everyday use ROM?
u didnt say which rom u r using now but, if u wanna use & enjoy the latest android jellybread try OldDroid's CM 10.1!

I'm using Simply Gio 1.3, it's a really old rom from the early development.
I'll give that CM 10 a try, will it work with the 5660M?
Any issue/problem with it?
yup it works... just go to OldDroid's topic and download RC1 release which is not in the first page but in the latest pages of the topic.
it is build on android 4.2.1.
it has some minor issues but its perfectly stable and go0d for average daily usage imho.

The gapps r the same. If ur looking for them check out the cm7 thread. There is a link within the first post or two. They r universal now.
If you're just updating between, you don't need to flash. Also would recommend the final version over RC4.
Latest gapps either way.

I think you can download the GAPPS from Rom Manager now.
thanks guys i was jus makin sure i had the right one cuz i was lookin around n i found the link to the gapps but didnt kno if there were updated ones.. thanks for the info

nighly's and rc's are both experimental. nightlys are released every night. rc's are released when the devs think the rom has reached a 'checkpoint'. you are allowed to post bugs about rc's not about nightlys.
btw stable is now out!!!!! i will personally be keeping up with any new nightlys but still that is a big deal. it's newer than rc4 btw.

I guys,
I'm new to this ROM things.
I want to install a ROM that don't bring me problems or bugs, and that got embedded all the usefull stuff.
At this stage, is better installing CyanogenMod 7.1 KANG RC-3.0 or Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1??
Which is more stable and has no bugs??
Or do you recommend me another ROM?
I currently have GB 2.3.5 Stock Rom via sammobile.com
Thanks =)
I would recommend CM 7.2 RC1.
It's the most stable CyanogenMod for the gio right now and works just fine.
I would not recommend any other cyanogen, as they all have some issues right now.
If you want something closer to stock rom, go for particle rom.
You'll find all of them toghether with directions in the developers section here.

I think the better between this 2 rom is 7.2 Rc1..but there's another very good and stable rom..GioPro1.4..you can find it in development section
I have the HTC Wildfire, rooted. Now im wondering which roms beside cm7 are good?
I need a rom thats fast and stable?
what do you suggest? sense roms or what?
There are so many wonderful ROMs available.
I would advice you to try them all and decide what you want to stick with.

ah i would like but i dont have so much time to try all, thats why im asking here what people think..
i dont care if its and cm, sense, or whatever type of rom, i just want a fast and stable rom
Okay mate,then you should go with Rempuzzle Rom,its fast and stable at the same time and its quite beautiful as well.
Some day give CM9 a try,it has few bugs but still its awesome,I'm in love with it.

Here is CM9 for the Wildfire: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473344
I have just installed it and it's beatiful!
It works pretty fast and there are not so much bugs, so I think I'm going to use it as my main ROM
Since wildfire stock is sense rom. Then I would think you should try rom other than sense first. May be CM7 (Gingerbread) and CM9 (ICS) rom. If you still like to stick to sense rom then try Rempuzzle, Froyo rom with partial sense 4 skin.
thanks for the link ) i dont know willbi try it right now,but i will follow this thread until i see the few bugs fixed.. for now the 7.2 is working great for me.. one thing that i would love to have is either a miui or cm9 rom.. but we will see..
i have one more question,its off topic ,but how can i make my statusbar transparent?

I'm currently on a cm9 beta3 ROM on Samsung Galaxy W GT-I8150. As I had viewed the thread on the forum, I may only need to wipe data n' cache if I wanna do a major upgrade or change Into a new ROM. And upgrading between cm9 versions is not necessary to wipe them out. my problem is, what's a major upgrade mean? Does an upgrade between beta3 to alpha1 a major upgrade? Thx
you are currently running a very stable version (beta3) of the CM9 ROM..
if u want a major upgrade u should install the CM9 beta 4 version.
if you're aiming a alfa version of CM9.. well this is a downgrade to a "unstable" verion..
so u can change ROM to the CM10 alfa2 or 3 version.. this is a upgrade.. i made this (now i'm using CM10 alfa2) and i solved my old problem.
hope this help you

Thx for the info. But as long as I know, CM10 is only for tablet? Or could be installed on my wonder?
CM 10 works on phones and tablets. Check their page itself to see if your device is supported. As a thumb rule, if it officially got 9, then it will get 10

They are all great roms , you should try them all before deciding. Like it was said above , official firmware upgrade for anything above 2.3.6 from Samsung doesn`t exist , you have to resort to roms if you want that.
Sorry if i missed some developer , it wasn`t intentional.
Well, Im using aokp 4.2.2 right now and it is really great. Smooth and fast. Everything works, only small issues

Yes you can try both AOSP ICS roms , really they are very good without any need for overclocking or tweaking , in my opinion. They keep about 170Mb RAM free.
