Simpligio+ do not have this bug , infect all bugs of simpliGio is solved in Simpligio+ , only down side is you have to put back system apps yourself , before flashing simpligio+ back all your required system apps using titanium backup software , although i can solve your issue but its long procedure , you better flash simpligio+ and restore your system apps . its faster
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
Answer is yes you can do that , but you have to use linux/ubuntu , because .tar is same as rar or zip for linux , just open .tar file and remove your required file(i think you are looking for csc file) , don't try in windows using winrar it will not work , it will damage the file.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] klebengan:
yes waqasshahzad1986 is right. i am usually using ubuntu in virtual machine upon my win 7.

here's the steps and code (credit to ge88@kaskus.us)....

-. extract the TAR file to any folder (let say : GIO5660M)

-. Open ubuntu terminal and pointed to the "GIO5660M" folder and run this codes. (

This is case and space sentitive. Please do COPY-PASTE

)=

-. "5660m" in the codes is just an example name. u can change to any name u want.

1.

tar -H ustar -c arm11boot mibib oemsbl qcsbl > APBOOT_5660m.tar

md5sum -t APBOOT_5660m.tar >> APBOOT_5660m.tar

mv APBOOT_5660m.tar APBOOT_5660m.tar.md5

2.

tar -H ustar -c csc.rfs > CSC_5660m.tar

md5sum -t CSC_5660m.tar >> CSC_5660m.tar

mv CSC_5660m.tar CSC_5660m.tar.md5

3.

tar -H ustar -c amss > MODEM_5660m.tar

md5sum -t MODEM_5660m.tar >> MODEM_5660m.tar

mv MODEM_5660m.tar MODEM_5660m.tar.md5

4.

tar -H ustar -c boot.img recovery.img system.rfs > CODE_5660m.tar

md5sum -t CODE_5660m.tar >> CODE_5660m.tar

mv CODE_5660m.tar CODE_5660m.tar.md5

- Now you ready to flash it.

BOOT => APBOOT
PHONE => MODEM
PDA => CODE
CSC => CSC

- Just in case u need to re-check the code please go this link@kaskus.us. (The language is Indonesian but the codes is universal)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] xtremepsionic:
I do have simpligio+ installed though. I got it off the first post. However according to the change log of simpligio+ I should have swype installed as well, but mine only has samsung default keyboard and nothing else.

The build number is "SimpliGio.v1.0+"

klebengan -

Wow thanks a lot, I'll give that a go if I can't solve my keyboard problem with Simpligio+ The only reason why I'm thinking about swapping to GioPro is because of that.

You guys rock!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] xtremepsionic:
So if I don't flash the CSC file, then it shouldn't update the stock 5660M modem code, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
NO! (CSC is an RFS partition, containing a binary command and a zip file to be installed through recovery, with the carrier specific content and settings like APNs)

If you want to try using the Euro 5660 ROMs on a 5660M, only flash system.rfs.

Waqas and the other Euro 5660 ROM makers:

Why are you guys uploading ROMs to flash the entire phone instead of just the system.rfs partition?

Do you know EXACTLY what each partition does?

This makes no sense to me. Every time you flash your modem and bootloaders you (slightly) risk bricking them. Please understand what you're giving people to flash, as I'm affraid too many users don't read very far beyond the "Features" lists...

You can do a number of things even with Windows when it comes to ROMs.

To extract a file from any ROM that's flashed with Odin: open the tarball with an archiving program (Winzip, 7zip, Winrar, Cygwin untar command, etc.) then open the RFS file with a program like MagicISO. Do not edit the partition in MagicISO to flash it afterwards, as it sees it as FAT partition, without the journaling and permissions support the (Samsung proprietary) "Robust FAT System" does.

I found that creating a tarball with 7zip made an Odin incompatible file. The Cygwin tar command works just fine. You can however remove an image (AMSS for instance) from the tarball with 7zip and flash the remainder without any problems.

Regards,

Darkshado
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
your method of flashing just system file will not work at all , you will get issues like gps , wifi , bluetooth not working and what about a2sd dakrtremor , you can't enable it without editing boot.img on newer stock roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] xtremepsionic:
Thanks, so what I should try is edit the .ops file to only flash system.rfs if I want to try other roms on the 5660m?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
Don't edit .ops file , you can extract system.rfs using linux , and copy system.rfs to your home directory , and run these commands

1. To compile into ODIN package:

2. Open terminal in Linux.

3. Navigate to folder (if you copied on desktop or anyother folder).

4. run "tar -H ustar -c system.rfs >ODIN.tar" without the quotations. P.S. do not rename system.rfs or else will not work

and you will get the .tar file , you can flash it using odin one package option.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Shouldn't Odin skip the "empty" lines like so?

is there any advantage of using a2sd and a ext2 particion on my sdcard? android can move aplications to sdcard by stock
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
This question has been answered hunderds times , please try to read before posting .

Yes a2sd darktremor does exactly , it installs your apps to sd card , and ext2 partition is must for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] xtremepsionic:
hah, damnit, if that worked it would have been too easy :D

I'm not sure if I should flash my simpligio+ to GioPro using your method of extracting system or not... everything works great on my phone except for the problem of being stuck on the default samsung keyboard.

Which rom are you using personally?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
I am using , mine own custom rom(beta) based on S5660XXKQB_S5660XXKQ5_S5660PRTKQ4 , a2sd darktremor isn't working at the moment but woking on it . wanna try ??? i can upload its just system file , will not touch your drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] klebengan:
i'll hope it work someday.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] xtremepsionic:
Thanks, I'm sure whatever you've cooked up is good :) However I've got too many apps installed not to have a2sd enabled, so I think it's best not to try it right now.

Thanks again for all your help, you guys are teaching me lots, although I have to say, this is confusing as hell, haha.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh , i just enabled , a2sd darktremor on latest S5660XXKQB_S5660XXKQ5_S5660PRTKQ4 Rom . :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] rezapatel:
Is there any way to backup and recover your data after a new ROM or factory reset?

I currently use Titanium, but unfortunately, you need to manually install every application while it's being restored. I've got around 200+ apps on the phone, which made me click 400 times, while restoring!

Anything that's automated and will get your data back as it was prior to the ROM Update / Factory reset?

If there is, i would love to try out all the ROMs one by one :)

Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] xtremepsionic:
haha now I wanna give that a try for sure, just the system file :P
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] xtremepsionic:
Titanium has a batch function isn't there?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
try this , open titanium backup software , click on bactch and find the option Restore missing apps with data, (don't restore or backup all system files)

Watch this video and Skipt 5:30

[YOUTUBE]GJlsfmQJTXY[/YOUTUBE]
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] rezapatel:
Yes, but unfortunately, even on the batch function, it asks you for your confirmation for every app that it installs during the process.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
Do you already have enabled a2sd dakrtremor??? because its not just system file you also gonna need boot.img . if you already have a2sd darktremor working then you can try otherwise it will not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] xtremepsionic:
ahhh mmm no, I am using link2sd on simpligio+ I just typed a2sd check in terminal and it's not there. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] rezapatel:
Thanks, but look at the video, he is also manually approving each app install :(

There's an app called 'My Backup Root' - that might restore everything in the same state, without user intervention, but that's a wild guess and I'll get to know only when I'm changing the ROM.

I was actually wanting to do a factory reset and confirm, I'm on GioPro 1.3 Lite, but i guess I'll wait for the new ROM on the most recent OEM version of the ROM.

Thanks for trying and if you do come across a way, where no user intervention is required, I'll be the happiest man :)

Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] klebengan:
wow man i am already post a link for that in here

Galaxy gio supports android open accessory???

Hi I´m a user of a samsung galaxy gio (gt-s5660l) with an official android 2.3.4 update. My question is, any body know if the samsung galaxy gio has support for android open accessory???.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Hello Ponchorcg,

If you haven't modified your Gio 5660L yet, would you mind backing up, uploading and linking your ROM here?

I haven't checked on Samfirmware in a while, but I know that no one here has posted one. I recall at least one other 5660L user, but he had already flashed over his stock ROM without backing it up...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Right... There are Froyo and Gingerbread kernels for the Europe/Asia 5660, so you'd need a GB kernel to match your ROMs.

Having a modified kernel for a2sd and all that is okay as well, just that many earlier uploads flashed everything (including arm11boot, the modem and low-level bootloaders), which isn't a good idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Ponchorcg:

Can you post to multiupload? Please
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
You should be able to root by modifying one of the zips already posted for the 2.3.4 5660 or 5660M. Edit the updater-script file with a text editor that uses the proper line endings (if you're on Windows, notepad is not a suitable choice, the free, open-source, notepad++ is) and put it back in the zip file (the "deflate" method is ok for this one).

Then look at my partition mapping thread to get started with the actual backups. You'll need a hex editor to trim off the tails of the BML partitions (AMSS, oemsbl, qcsbl, boot.img and so on...) so that they flash nicely.

About the Android Open Accessory spec: I didn't know about it 'til I read your post. I found a 40-something minute presentation on Youtube from Google IO 2011, but I definitely don't have the time to watch all that right now.

Good luck!

Hello. I wanted to ask if people with 2.3.4 are able to record video at 640x480 with app LGcamera pro.

I was able with 2.2 ROM, but recently I updated to 2.3.3 vodafone rom and I am no longer able to record at 640x480.

Here are some vids I did to compare with stock camera:

480p- youtube.com/watch?v=IDh6NdObnjE

240p stock camera - youtube.com/watch?v=-xOTNrlvi0Q

edit: sorry for not being able to post direct links, it seems I am still a noob in XDA so no links for me yet :p

I noticed that 2.3.3 stock camera has better quality (probably higher bitrate) than 2.2, and it's able to record with higher framerates in average light conditions (14fps vs 8 fps in 2.2 and lgcamera). In places with good light the framerate seems to be the same, 14fps.

I had giopro 1.3 and I download the 1.3 lite update that needed to be run from the recovery screen. Factory reset prior to running that update and another reset after the update. It seemed negligible the first few hours and now its pretty much the same.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] rezapatel:
Definitely - will do that.

Also, i think, I've figured the reason for frequent screen refreshed - it's because of the ADW Launcher, which keeps crashing. Because i fortunately was sitting on the task manager, when this happened hence the observation that it closed down and reopened, and in the meanwhile, the icons kept refreshing.

IF, i'm keeping this firmware, I'm reverting back to Samsung's original launcher instead of any third party launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] SoulReaver75:
Sorry, but it's not that.

First I had it with original laucher, so I tried ADW, and nothing changed.

Also original laucher crashes... and rebuilds all the icons. :(

I'm going to pass the new custom ROM, it doesn't seem to be catching much traction. I'll wait for some early testers to straighten it out first.

First of all my apologies because i know people will freak out.

Quote from OP:

What is a2sd darktremor and why should i install it ???

a2sd darktremor let you install your all apps on sd card , so in this way internal memroy stay empty and phone perform better than stock rom...

The way i read it, it is to enable the option to move your user apps (the ones u download from market ) to the external SD card ( the one u put on the side of the phone). Now my question is: i am still on the stock rom that was on my phone when i bought it and it is doing this automatically so clearly im misreading this else it wouldn't be up here as tweak.

So please could anyone make the explanation clearer then it is now and perhaps also change it on the OP that way maybe less questions about this will be asked.

I am no android developer and a big noob but i have been flashing my galaxy S for more then a year now so i do have a basic knowledge.

thank u for reading
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] SoulReaver75:
stock rom can move apps to sd, but only apps created with that possibility, and just a part of them. You will fill phone memory soon anyway.

Using a2sd darktremor you can move almost all apps (someone is better to keep in phone) and you will never run out of space.

More, it can move cache too.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] rezapatel:
& correct - even the default launcher keeps refreshing. So I'm assuming, this is because of the memory tweak / script, that dumps home / menu state and screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] SoulReaver75:
I don't remember exactly, but I think that I tried both juwe script and original giopro script.

I spent about 4 days trying to solve that problem, and I'm very happy that now it went away.
