i downloaded the KP1 tar file(S5660XXKPE_S5660XXKPA_S5660OXFKP1), n used odin1.85, i connect the phone in download mode.

but it stuck at:

<ID:0/007> Added!!

<ID:0/007> Odin v.3 engine (ID:7)..

<ID:0/007> File analysis..

<ID:0/007> SetupConnection..

which part i did wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
Download Odin 4.42(from the guide how to flash galaxy gio using odin) and Do a fectory reset in recovery mode and then try to flash it ...

.tar file is a single flash file , don't unzip it , and don't forget to click on one package on ODIN ,and locate .tar flash file and start .
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] anggabastian:
nevermind..

sori.. I dont read the older thread... so i don't know our older thread is closing... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] DeXeS:
@waqasshahzad1986, maybe it's better to remove the "Remove simlock" link on the first post. That method has been deleted by the author because it on a lot off phones the efs partition got corrupted making the phone completely useless.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] laalee:
could somebody write down what is the modification in the modifyed offical 2.3.4? i dont find any info for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
New Link Updated
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
Modification is only in code nothing look different . No compass issue solved.. only improvements are done..
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Amadeus01:
Ok, is there some trick to shut the hardbutton of the volume down.

Sometimes i dont hear the phone go of, i pused that darn button again by acident.

So is there a methode to bypasse that hardbutton?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] earthling3m:
Yes, Waqas,kindly advise if the official modified 2.3.4 is better than the 23 July unofficial 2.3.4 ROM, please? My main reason for upgrading is to avoid the random shutdowns which have`worsened after upgrading to 2.3.3.

Is the modified official 2.3.4 better than the unmodified unofficial 2.3.4?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
In my experience and observation , its better but don't mark my words , try it , there is no harm to try it ....

I have been reading your problem since your first post ...

Please follow these steps..

Do a fectory reset , Install modified 2.3.4

after flash completes (never dissconnect your device until 'PASS' is written on ODIN)

Do a fectory reset again ...

In WIFI settings , set sleep to never ... and connect with your regular wifi router , for all other connections must click forget

I have faced same problem but i alwasy fectory reset before and after flashing it avoids glitches ..

rendom shut down could be due to hardware or software , i have told you software solution , hardware problem could be with wifi chip , and quick tip put a small paper behind your battery , sometimes bettery gets loose and it could cause rendom shut down , and freez...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] kajjtan:
is there a way to disable sound of volume buttons in stock rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] DeXeS:
That's some nice and clean ROM! What program's did you use to cook this if I may ask?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Amadeus01:
No, not that i found.

But you can change or replace the audio.ogg files.

If you reedited them with a somekind of audioediting program, you can create your own sound or you can change ( the volume ) the original ones.

...................don't fotget to backup the originals first..............
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] klebengan:
not mine bro, its actually mod by a friend of mine (ge88) an active modder in "the biggest forum in indonesia". u can check this GIO's thread here. i am sure the main cooking process using the Linux.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] pataykhan:
I have just installed this ROM and I have the same problem. The RAM fills up very quickly and I'm left with 60-80MB free RAM only.

I created ext2 partition before installing the ROM, would A2SD start automatically or do I have to run some script? A2SD manages the free RAM as well? How to check?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] drdnght mrk lazarus:
god, I installed the sgg dt rom yesterday and now giopro 1.2 is out?

which one is better? or more bugged...?

I do like the blue in the notification bar so if it's safe I might consider

how do I install this or any other APK into the system/app folder ?

is this okey to install on Galaxy Gio 2.2.1 FROYO ???
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Blackwolf14:
I am not sure but I think so after you install the other launcher(Go Launcher Ex) start the problem(Wifi issue, Gps issue) is at SimpliGio. Sorry for my English.

First Picture (SimpliGio), Second Picture (GioPRO v1.2)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] fedr0id:
Don't pay to much attention to the free ram with none running app.

Sure I had 120MB free, but as soon I add some widgets I get the same of yours.

The script can do a little about that. Its usefulness comes out when you open the apps. So to check if it works, let keep 6-7 apps running and be sure to have not so less free ram than with none running apps, and most important, to have none critical lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
newly and updated ram optimizer script added, you can download from main page ...Either use 00tweak script or S97ramscript. both won't work toghether , delete one of them.

to enable a2sd darktremor use a2sd gui. Click on Dalvik then choose dalvik Cahche on SD-EXT.and move ,phone will reboot and thats all.

a2sd improves performance because all your phone memory become empty and app installs on sd card..it doesn't effect ram though.

RE: How to Backup Everything in case I have to return the phone to the Store and therefore, have to reverse the ROM to the Original state.

Okay, I clicked on the "Thanks" button in the first post. :)

I just bought the Samsung Gio.

Before I do Rooting and Firmware flashing, I would like to Backup everything so that, if I ever need to return the phone to the Store for whatever reason, the phone looks like it's in its Original state.

But I don't know how to do this backing-up because I am an almost absolute newbie with Android phones.

Thank you everyone for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] smellulater:
none of the stock firmwares take the password supplier either... this is turning into a nightmare.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
You can install flash from first page..
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
If you are cautious , Before doing anything make sure that already installed firmware is available over Internet. After that you can do whatever you want.

you can't backup whole Firmware for GIO , but you can backup apps using Titanium backup app.

In Service center they won't take your SD card , if they ask you can formate it and give to them , lets suppose you have to go to Service Center just do a Fectory Reset your phone and install a stock firmware. Incase its dead phone then nobody can tell whether its rooted or not , First thing they do , they flash with a Flasher box and boom everything gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] samxel:
Sorry to keep bothering you, i just wanna get this right without screwing anything up :)

when you said "I may need to do you factory reset for the rooting"

do you mean do a factory rest in step 3 when i am in recovery mode

and then after the factory rest, go to the recovery mode again and

Add Update " 1-root.zip " from SD-card ?

or do you mean do a factory reset AFTER (after step 6) doing the update from the SDcard?

-----------------------------------------

How to Root Samsung Galaxy gio(works on 2.2.3 and 2.3.4)

download 1-root.zip file. and copy to SD card (not in any folder)

1. Shutdown your phone.

2. Put you phone in recovery Mode(press: Home button + Power button toghether)

3. In recovery mode, Add Update from SD-card.

4. Search for the 1-root.zip file on your SD-card

5. Run the update

6. Reboot

I am already installed from first page but didn't work at GioPRO 1.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
You have to Copy both files DeskClock.apk and DeskClock.odex using Root Explorer , make sure you mout as w/r system/app
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
After Flashing your phone , first thing you do is Fectory reset , after that you don't need to Fectory reset, just root your phone using instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
Yeah , you are right , Flash player isn't working on GIOPRO 1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] azlemad:
if you root your phone and get rid of the production version of swype that comes pre-installed by deleting /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypecore.so you can install the latest beta version of swype, go to http://beta.swype.com/ sign up and download the installer. There is a spanish version

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] SoulReaver75:
Thanks.

I'm trying to open some applications at the same time, but ehm... how can I switch to another application without closing the first one? Task manager always says 0 apps running. The only app that sometimes stay opened when I go back to home is the internet browser. (it was like this also before flashing this rom).

Did you try quadrant on giopro 1.2? One guy on italian forum say taht he got about 1500. Using giopro 1.1 I had 593, and with ssg dt rom I get about 1090. 1500 would mean even more speed...

What are your impressions about giopro 1.2 until now?

This rom looks really good, so I don't know if switching to new giopro can be a good choice or not.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] earthling3m:
Thanks, sebastian90. But logically shouldn't 2.3.4 official (modified) be newer??
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:
i don't really understand where is your problem and what steps are you doing....

I use uot only from PC, i choose options and upload the 2 files to uot site, then download to pc the uot_xxxxxx.zip file, then i replace the "update-binnary" file using winrar, then put the zip file on phone, reboot in update mode and apply the update. success 100% on all tries.

For Samsung Galaxy Gio Korean Users

For Samsung Galaxy Gio Korean Users, If you buy this phone in Korea the hardware is quite different from international versions. I cannot verify how different. but none of the roms here are not worked at all.

I have tested so far all of particle's roms are fine for flashing and booting. but wireless and bluetooth is not worked. but 3g calling and recievings are fine.

I will test others too and report here.

the base phone information

for Korea Galaxy Gio is as below.

Model Number : SHW-M290K

Firmware Verision : 2.3.4

Baseband Version : M290K.TH25.1312.KT

Kernel Version : 2.6.35.7-perf-CL520723

Build Number : GINGERBREAD.TH25

There was rooting attempts which works great! you can get instruction from here.

http://psychoplus.com/256

and for failed rom burning and if you want to return original firmware with Odin. you could download the rom here.

http://psychoplus.com/257

System Info from Android System Info App

BuildInfos

Android Version : 2.3.4

Release Codename : REL

Hardware : shw-m290k

Radio : unknown

Board : SHW-M290K

Device : SHW-M290K

Display : GINGERBREAD.TH25

Host : SE-S610

Wifi Chip : bcm4329

/etc/wifi files indicate this.

I will update hardware information later.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] saadravian:
Shouldn't the model number be GT-S5660??
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bignikescar:
I thought that was strange from the first time, too. but I wrote as it is. It was from the first time. Maybe they have other product line for Korean Market.

But It was fine to flashing and booting with particle's rom. so the name doesn't really matter I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasleo17:
1st download the file from this link http://www.mediafire.com/?idclc0ecyq8mdaj

you will get a folder name flash player 10.3

unzip is using winrar. in this folder there is another folder name lib.unzip it too.

Now 1st install the adobe flash player.

after installation copy the lib folder into your sd card.

run the root explorer from the cell.

just copy the lib folder into the data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/

(Note that this data folder is not of your sdcard. just go to main root folder. In this main root folder u have many folders such as data, sdcard, root etc. U can only access this data folder through the root explorer. if you don't have root explorer, just google it. root explorer. apk. install and version. i am using the 2.16.)

Make sure the path is same, as mentioned above.

now in the lib folder you have files

libflashplayer.so

libstagefright_froyo.so

libstagefright_honeycomb.so

libysshared.so

just set permission of every file to rwsrwsrwt, by ticking all the options.

than go set the permission of the lib folder to rwsrwsrwt.

and then set the permission of the com.adobe.flashplaye to rwsrwsrwt.

And now you are done.

one thing more.

To run the flash files. you should not be using heavy programs in backgrounds,

such as spb shell. or other heavy lauchers.

sometimes the flash videos also not runs because we try to run it from the OPERA MOBILE. as opera mobile consumes more ram.

Flash videos requires free ram.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bignikescar:
just check samsung opensource site.

Just check Samsung opensource site. and there are different open source for SHW-M290K and GT-S5660.

Does this means I can not use all the valuable information here?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Blackwolf14:
Thanks @waqasleo17.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] saadravian:
wow, it really works.. a bit laggy though.. but it's still a good feeling to be able to run flash content on my Gio.. Thanks alot bro..
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasleo17:
No Problem :-)

Flash contents requires much ram, alot of ram

Yes its too laggy on gio, What i think so that it might be due to the poor ram management of the particle rom. As I told before that on froyo i was able to achieve upto 178 or 180 mb or free ram. but now i get upto 130 mb.

using particle 2.3.4. beta 2 wifi fixed version

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
At a minimum it means you have to use it carefully, probably more so than those with a 5660 (Europe and most of Asia), 5660M (Canada; hasn't been released in the US by AT&T which would be the only compatible carrier), L (Latin America) or V (Australia).

As far as I am aware, all the 5660* Gios have an Atheros AR6003 wifi chip.

Good luck and happy hacking,

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasleo17:
Fixed the problem with the lag issue in the flash videos.

Just pause the video in the browser by single tapping it.

zoom it in. just click the resolution option.

Just run it in 240 resolution.

Now it works fine :)

experiencing no lags :)

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] klebengan:
i am bit jealous of you guys. i am stuck on copying step. it said no enough space left on my system. i've been removing few apps in system/app twice as much as the lib folder size, but cant get through it though :confused:

Use Root Explorer

Explore to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/ and delete "lib" folder. Again try steps. :)

Slow Galaxy Gio (GioPro 1.3)

Hi All, im new member here.

I have a Galaxy Gio Pro, i flashed it with GioPro 1.3, a few months ago. I do like the ROM, BUT i find that it is slow...

When i boot up the phone, it runs ok, but then even just a few minutes later the phone lags big time.

When im in an app and want to go home, i hit the home button, but the home screen is blank, and it takes several seconds for the icons and widgets to reload.

THIS IS ANNOYING ME BIG TIME.:mad:

ANY advise at all?? WOuld be greatly appreciated.

I have considered to perhaps try SimpliGio instead, has anyone tried both? or does anyone else have this experience?

I thought maybe to try a different launcher, but not sure how to do that, and not sure if it would help.

Thanks:)
