Matz69 Myth Mrage custom rom installed :) - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

Since I'm new here and can't post to the developers section, I'm posting here just to say thank you for this great custom rom.
Was my first flash attempt ever flashing a rom and it went so smooth I think I'm gonna try it again and again just to see all the other installation options of the aurora installer. Big thank you to my country fellowman MatZ69 and the rest of the team for this awesome work.
I know my opinion ain't worth much since I'm on my first custom rom (have been rooted and using link2sd for a few months though but my sd got damaged ... so it was time to make a clean start) but I'm happy with it so far. No bugs detected yet, except for the brightness slide not working in the popdown bar.

check the Q&A. you must lock and unlock the phone to get the brightness slide working

Tnx for the reply. I had already seen the Q&A just before you answered but with all respect for the developer I still think it's a tiny bug cause having to lock and unlock screen to see the effect on brightness doesn't make much sense and it's even more disappointing because I was so happy with that brightness slide in the pulldown bar which is really handy in that spot if it would actually work. Hope a patch comes out to solve this. Playing for almost 24 hrs with this ROM and love every bit of it sofar! Any idea if it's possible to switch to the other installation options on this ROM without actually having to re-install everything again? Already re-installed lots of apps, contacts, messages etc. and would't like to go through this again but I'm curious about other options. Btw. Any idea if it's possible to backup linked apps on ext4 partition of SD (using link2sd)? Getting a new 8 GB class 10 SD soon ....

I am also using this ROM. My only problem, besides the brightness bar control, is the samsung keyboard. Does anyone knows how to replace for the default CM7 keyboard??

Mine also...but I just dont like the samsung keypad... Im wanting the stock keypad

I want to say THANKS too!I like it very much,but i have a question.Whici governor to use?

Root is not working for me :S

Wow just found out that the top pulldown bar slides showing lots of handy features! This is great, love it! Also saw that there's a patch that fixes the brightness slide and some other fixes. Downloaded it and now what? Never installed a patch ... :-$ Do I go to CWM recovery and "install from zip" just like the Rom? Will that do a factory reset clean data and cache? And will it make me loose all data again like contacts or the apps (on ext4 partition on sd)? Sure hope not ...

Just install from recovery. Select install from sd card and follow the usual steps.

Tnx for the reply but will it make me loose all apps contacts sms etc. just like when installing new rom? Because if it does I'll have to backup lots of stuff and in that case I'd rather wait till I have my new class 10 sdcard and do a clean install again including this patch. Now if this patch doesn't affect existing data I'll try it right away. So that's what I really need to know to decide when to install the patch.

Install zip from sd-card,without delete anything.

Thanks I just successfully installed the patch and all still working ok.
While installing I noticed it started Aroma installer again asking for UI options theme icons etc. and I wonder if it's possible to start Aroma installer again to try the several UI themes etc.? Can I just reinstall the patch again? Thanks for your patience with this newbie. You've all been very helpful and amigo MatZ69 is a fantastic developer, thanks for this very good rom and patch. Brightness slide now works!

Up to next problem I encountered ...
Tried to do a nandroid backup with CWM5.0.2.7 (signed_cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4+rfs.zip ) and got the famous error:
"Could not mount sd-ext. sd-ext backup may not be supported on this device. Skipping backup of sd-ext" followed by the usual "Generating md5 sum..."
From what I've read on this forum I understand that only nandroid backup does the complete backup of both the FAT32 AND the EXT4 (2nd partition) that I'm using for link2sd. For this reason I think it will be useful to use the nandroid backup/restore method to swap my old Samsung SDCARD 4GB with my new SDCARD (8GB Sandisk class 10) that I ordered.
But since the backup of sd-ext fails I'll probably won't be able to restore anything and even if it does restore anything, it will most likely fail to restore the 2nd partition (Ext4) because the backup didn't work in the 1st place ...
Does anybody have an idea if installing CWM 5.0.2.7 (•signed_cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4only.zip) will solve this problem (since this ROM is Ext4 ROM and I also have 2nd partition on ext4 format). CWM5.0.2.7 that I have now installed is supposed to be compatible with both ext4 + rfs but if it was really that good I guess why phiexz bother to develop a ext4only version, right? I found some workaround here ofr the md5sum error if you wanna restore from nandroid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606047 but don't think that it will solve the backup problem of sd-ext so even I manage to restore I'll probably loose all info on 2nd ext4 partition, am I correct? So I really want CWM to do a correct backup of all data system sd-ext etc. without any errors. But when I read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650 and the known issues, I´m not so sure if I wanna try this on my gio. Having to edit scripts etc. might become too complicated ...
Anyone has an idea if just doing a manual mount of sd-ext in CWM mount&storage before I do the backup will solve the backup problem of sd-ext and also the md5sum error?
I know it's a lot of questions but any help is appreciated and if there's anything wrong in how I think that these things work please correct and explain it to me because I don't really know what the hell I'm doin' ... just having fun playing around But I'm very happy with this custom rom, beats my providers stock rom 10-0

Oops forget it, I think I found it after reading the old cwm topic and that I have to install the cwm ext4only version to solve this because the version that I'm using only reads ext2 ... so that's probably why I didn't have problems in the past doing backup because my 2nd partion used to be in ext2 and I re-formatted to ext4 when I decided to do a clean install of this custom rom. So it looks like I'm gonna try to install the ext4only version of cwm tonight, see if I manage and how that works ...

Solved the errors with nandroip backup!
Running cwm 5.0.2.7 ext4+rfs, first i tried to fix it by doing a install from zip from a fix-nandroid-backup.zip file I found in some thread about the md5sum error. Then I did backup but to no avail ... the error stayed. So I decided to reboot first and try again but backup got stuck in some infinite loop and I only managed to get the cwm menu back by pressing the on/off button. Pfff .... lucky me!
So then I downloaded and installed the cwm 5.0.2.7 ext4only version and that solved the problem, no sd-ext errors did a perfect backup and also md5sum was OK.
So then the next step was to change the bootanimation because that one of the few things I don't like about this fantastic rom ...
Substituted the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media by this honeycumb blue one here in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985251 and it all works and looks great ... would have prefered orange to match with this rom but doesn't exist as far as I know.
Now it's time to do some a new nandroid backup and titanium backup and next project is to copy all back to my new sdcard when I get it and then try to restore all see what happens ... I'll keep you all posted and thanks for all your help and all the info available on this forum.
You guys rock! :good:

I tested and loved this ROM but there are two problems that make me return to my previous installation:
It doesn't detect my ELM327 Bluetooth device to read my car OBD data (the device isn't listed after scan for Bluetooth devices)
The GPS after 10 minutes in open field and with data connection active can't FIX
I most certainly use this ROM again if this problems disappear :good:

I rarely use gps (even freezed navigator and maps) but I'll give it a try tomorrow out in the field. Didn't test Bluetooth either will test that as well and give feedback here or at the topic of this Rom in the development section. Think I reached ten posts including this one
What Rom did you use before this one? Just being curious what you liked better or was more stable than this new Rom ...
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda app-developers app

The Bluetooth works fine with audio devices (I've a Parrot in my car) and with the PC but I need to connect to my OBD port to monitorize some parameters to see if it's all OK. The GPS I use to track my bicycle runs and do geocaching.
I'm using ROMs released by phiexz and his last is from June: cm-7.2.0-20120710-NIGHTLY-gio-AROMA
There are ROMs more faster but I like this one because s2e works just fine and with that Titaniun Backup can work with the sd-ext and move the data of some programs.

[Q] cyanogeon7 nightly build problem

i find that the nightly build is cool and is awesome. the problem is when i use system panel task manager, the phone reboots. i dont know why and its more laggy than the cm7 mod please tell me its me doing something wrong not my phone's or the mod's fault.
and it svery irritating that it keeps hanging. please someone help me with the nightly mod thing i want to use.
Go for nightly#205. And do a full wipe including data,cache,dalvic cache, and perform a factory resetting from cwm before you flash the nightly. Also use latest buzz kernal so that you can overclock your phone.

Lol you may have used beta 4 script, try beta 3, need to use atleast ext3 as your secondary partition. Try it with latest original cwm recovery. 5.xxx to partition. Do a clean install after partition.
And a personal suggestion. S2e app in market is good than dta2sd, though it have not much functions, but what it have, it does its best. I use it.

Dude, explore options in cwm, don't do formatting boot, system, data, unless you learn what it does.
Options may vary from version to versions of cwm. So you have to say which cwm version you have. Mine is latest 5.xxx.
In it, data- factory format( user data or wipe user data, which ever it is called) is in main menu. And dalvic cache wipe is in advanced menu.
Lol you must carefully read topic named" complete wildfire index, then ask doubts, after all you can learn new things from every topic.
Your kernal will be in that topic. Check it out.

now i got another problem. my wildfire will hang every now and then and i have to pluck out the battery and switch it back on. its very irritating and having to keep doing that will kill my bat very quickly so could anyone tell me any solutions?
To solve your problem, you must say. Your current configuration, rom, kernal, radio, tweeks, and what have you done just before you got the error

well i am using the cm7 nightly build #205. kernel is buzz-kernel-2.6.35. i just downloaded some apps that were in my phone when i was using cm7 stable. and there wasnt a problem. do i have to upgrade to latest build and kernel? oh and just a question. if i want to upgrade from #205 to #208, do i have have to like wipe my data and cache and dalvik cache? i wouldnt wanna redownload and change everythin again
You can install the nightlies on top of one another without wiping anything, sometimes it seems better to wipe the cache to me but not always necessary, leave data alone.
Word of warning though, always make a nandroid backup before installing a new rom, although they're stable they are still called experimental for a reason, and sometimes (not very often) things can still go wrong.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
i wiped both the dalvik and partition cache and installed the #208 nightly build and the latest kernel but then the phone would just restart automatically. do i have to wipe data as well?
Yes do a "Wipe Data / Factory Reset" in Clockworkmod if it is giving you issues. Then try a fresh install and check again for instability.
Note - Performing a Wipe Data / Factory Reset will erase all data (Except SD Card)
well i not sure but i think the problem still occurs.. yes it does. i wiped data, cache and dalvik cache, did a install using cwm and it still reboots WHAT TO DO NOW

dude is it the same one you had before? thats why we mention to give your current spec. with out it we cant do any thing or we cant help you.

How to ?

After partitioning the sd card, how do i move the apps or install my app to the sd directly?
You do it by installing rom with a2sd and not doing anything.
If your realy stuck with low app space and not sure if anything worked, do the following:
1. Make a backup of your current setup (nanddroid)
2. Backup all your user apps with titanium backup
3. Full wipe
4. Install a new ROM with either a2sd or data++ if you have at least a 1gb ext3 partion
5. restore your user apps using titanium, they should all restore to the "right place" and you'll have more room than before
DO NOT select "move to sd" under the applications menu, this will move your apps away from your ext3 partion onto the fat32 partion of your sd card
Basically, use this procedure anytime you flash a new ROM unless the dev advises otherwise in the op.

You haven't searched the android market haven't you?
You may also want to look at ext4 rather than ext3 for the partition. Some roms - say RunnyMede AIO will likely work better on ext4.

I use ext3. I also use a 2.1 / 3.0 hybrid as my daily driver (as per my sig). Of course the great thing about nandroid back ups is it's freakin easy to test new ROMs when you have a few days to fool around. Sebs runnymede ROM with the new installer will convert your ext3 to ext4 automatically. When I flashed my recovery back, it also restored my partion to ext3.

[RECOVERY] CWMR 5.5.0.4 for I957 (LTE)

Hello,
I have ported the latest clockworkmod recovery to the galaxy 8.9 LTE i957 tablet.
This is a recovery and not a kernel, thus you can run whatever you wish.
Instructions:
0) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN I957, do not flash this otherwise.
1) Flash this file via ODIN: CWMR5x_i957_recovery.tar.md5
2) Attempt a backup (there appears to be a bug in 5.5.0.4 that long names can possibly cause it to hang during a backup.) If it works or fails, reboot and mount your tablet in your OS. If you get hung, adb shell into your device and reboot it.
3) After your tab is mounted, go into the clockworkmod folder and create an EMPTY FILE with NO EXTENSION called .hidenandroidprogress
Note the period and lack of extension. This prevents the backup routine from enumerating the file list which I suspect is causing the hang during backup.
This is considered an ALPHA release with only two users thus far. No loss of data or damage was caused in the testing of this file. Please try it and report any issues you have with it. I am hoping this opens up the development for this device. I personally dont have it nor did I have access to one when I ported this so I need the community's help to track down issues/bugs. This was a pretty big challenge to get everything working right.
The full device tree I built for this can be found here:
android_device_samsung_SGHI957
Feel free to use this however you wish, though please give credit if it helps you devs.
Thanks to orlandoxpolice and jaywheelz for patiently testing this thus far.

wahoooo!
Oh and hey I helped too, sacrificed one tab to the samsung gods!
I have tested everything with this recovery except for sd card re partitioning, wipe data / factory reset, and restore (nandroid).
Known Issues:
If you enter key test, you cant back out.
nandroid backup may hang for some users, the .hidenandroidprogress may have fixed this.
mounting and unmounting data is finicky sometimes.
Orlando is this the same file we had last night? Or it's it slightly changed since then?
Same file. I also installed cwm from market and enabled quick recovery and it worked
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using xda premium
I thought cwm from the market causes our tab to go haywire. Is it the as what utkanos did or a different version?
You can install the program just don't flash its recovery. Go into options and enable quick recovery

First testing the backup, the tablet hangs while copying the file "android.hardware.location.xml"
So I created the file ".hidenandroidprogress" (with Polaris office) and I have saved in the dir "clockworkMod/backup." I tried again to backup and it worked.
Now I have to try a restore, but I will tomorrow or the next!
Max
Awesome!
Look forward to hearing the results of the restore!
So was a restore successful?
If so, I may factory reset mine, root, wipe all the junkware/bloatware, garbage bookmarks, do my browser tweaks, a few other random bits and pieces, and post it up here as a cleaned up, rooted stock rom.
Don't have the success of installing it.. it said is a wrong tar or md5 file and it soft bricked it.. guess I'll wait for the next update.. thanks again

Installed, thus far so good. Little bug though, although GPS works with Maps, the automatic time settings sticks with GMT, it does not detect my time zone, and when I try to manually set the time zone, system hans then just goes back to settings screen. Otherwise very nice, smooth, and a decent ROM. Great work!

ill check it out, but both ports are working fine for me... ill flash back to xperia and do some testing...
Just saying that I can confirm this ROM works with the PlayStation mobile network app store. Just downloaded and installed on my OV from the Engadget link.

thanks for the feedback!... glad to know the certificate is working... note, i used a better a2sd script in the update... so i definitely suggest repartitioning and flashing it... internal storage will equal your partition size.... (no more storage woes, ever)... im working on updates again... gonna start fresh and slim rom down, and make a flashible zip for xtras that i remove...
Good to know. I may wait for the next update though since this ROM is running so well for me now. If I repartition my sdcard, how can I backup/ restore sd-ext? Is it ok to backup the whole partition and then just copy out Brazil onto the Neely formatted partition? I've never dealt with backing up sd-ext before, just nandroids.

- i advise starting fresh and flashing one of the recoveries suggested in the op
- use it to partition your sd card
- format boot/system/data/cache/sd-ext/dalvik
- disable signature verification
- install rom>reboot
- adjust system settings>reboot recovery
- wipe cache/dalvik>flash gapps>reboot
- enjoy...

G-Apps on CM10 (Benjamin)

Hey,
I am a noob so kindly forgive me if I am doing something wrong.
I followed the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813077&page=68 and http://androidforums.com/wildfire-s-all-things-root/480954-guide-how-root-wildfire-s-s-finally.html to finally get CM10 installed on my Wildfire S (Marvel).
But... I am having a problem, whatever I do G-Apps is not showing after I flash it.
Basically, I go to CWM and install from SD card then restart, it says "updating 75 apps" (or something like that, cant remember the exact text) then when it starts... I cannot find gmail and all the other goodies.
Do I have to clear / delete / reinstall something or do something after this?
Please help!
Thanks in advance

As far as I can guess you flashed Gapps lite version... That just bundles with playstore. You need to download other stuff from the playstore itself.

Thanks for replying!
But I dont even see playstore there
How can I delete the present installation completely and then reinstall from step zero?
Or can you recommend a good (as much bugs free) ICS rom which has no problem with gapps?
Thanks!

I never heard about this problem earlier. But here's a step by step guide to install it. Double check it. Also I recommend CM9 coz I guess you are new to custom roms and its wayy less buggy and will save you from frustration.
In recovery:
1. Wipe data/factory reset.
2. wipe davlik cache.
3. install zip from sd. (Install ROM)
4. Install zip from sd (Install G-apps package)
5. Reboot.
7. If everything goes well you'll see one time startup asking for your google id and all that stuff.
8. when it's fully booted install whatever you are using to incease memory like data 2 sd scripts or link2sd.
9. reboot.
You're done.

I went back to my backed up stock, but this time I used TB to remove some of the bloatware and it's good.
I am giving this mobile to my mom so I wanted it working good, but for her limited uses I think the stock htc room should be good and simple to use.
Will look into link2sd, never used it before.
Cheers and thanks again!

If u cud do just one thing for me...
Check ur system partiton space remaining.... the above problem is felt by many, the reason being their is not enough space left in system partition to install gapps.... onw thing u cud do is delete some unused app by root explorer try again....

I would check it for you but it's not possible now since I went back to stock HTC (2.3) from backup and just removed some of the bloatware before giving it to my mom as I think she would find JB a little confusing compared to HTC's skin.
I guess thats best...

Aditya
