Nice thread! I cant wait to see the Samsung Galaxy Gio get a sub forum spot. The cheap, but powerful phone will become just so much more popular! Thanks for great development!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] neoraptor:
Successfully installed CWM and backed up phone. But unable to root.

I've tried different roots, including universal gingerbread root. Nothing works.

Also I've tried installing Giopro v1.2 using Odin. The Odin shows "Pass" but when phone reboots, it gets stuck at the startup and does not go past boot animation.

Any Ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] shuegig:
Did u try rebooting agn? Or did u not do a factory reset before and after flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] neoraptor:
Yepp I've rebooted. But I think I didn't do a factory reset. I'll just do that and see what happens.

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

Just restored system using cwm.

Did a factory reset.

Used odin to load Giopro v1.2

Odin successfully downloads stuff onto phone but when the phone restarts,

after the message

"installing update"

it says

"Can't update system/csc/opp"

And the phone gets stuck at Giopro boot animation.

Update:

Just got past the boot animation. Rom works.

I guess factory reset is what it needed.

Thanks

Hi waqas, I'm using 2.3.5 particle ROM (nowipe version).. I created a 376mb ext2 partition as per your instructions.. installed CWM (gt-s5660-cwm-recovery-20111007-1.tar.md5), and successfully installed custom kernel (gio_kernel_px1.2-perf-CL561540.zip) by phiexz.. Now again when I try to move dalvik cache to sd-ext, I get the "Not enough space left error.. :(.. It's really frustrating.. Can you please guide me what should I do to move Dalvik cache to sd-ext..?

DONT BE RUSH to REBOOT after execute a2sd_enabler.sh. just check the system/sd line first by typing "df" command. if you got that lines then u can continue flash the dtapp2sd zip file. if dont that means u got problem on this step. it's a step by step process. it that failed too (u cant see that line), then my final solution =

- reflash your rom, do hardreset

- remove office and music app using root explorer

- do a2sd enabling procedure
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] kajjtan:
I have some intresting issues. My gio was always acting strange but recently i notice it more and more often. The issues is when gio is waking up for example when i push home button to unlock i see black screen or screen has more blue or more green color, sometimes screen is upside down but digitizer works as it is normal, or screen becomes like mirror view of original screen, or screen colors becomes negative after i lock and unlock it bugs disapear but sometimes its starts be random and i can get normal only after 3-5 locks/unlocks I use stock rom. Is it kernel problems maybe? I have these things since i bought gio, but it become so annoying. I did factory reset earler and i think because of that its happening so often. Btw i dont use wifi.

Damn service centres in my country are so slow i wont have phone 3 weeks or more :( i really think that its software not hardware i though you will know :( i dont have any other issues not any reboot in 4 months but that strange unlock issue is real pain in ass gonna film it with camera to have some prof to stupid service centre of mine but its really random sometimes i dont get it few days and sometomes its a row. Still will try reflash with odin maybe kies did that but if it wont fix it i will have no choice but service center.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] klebengan:
after installed dtap2sd zip file, did you check again the "df". did u still find system/sd? what recovery you use? if it cwm, the u must mount/system first before installing dtap2sd zip file

sorry for your problem bro. but if you really though it come from the software then maybe u need to test it with other rom.

Hi, I want to install this script on my cell is it ok to install, i am using particle 2.3.4.

I want to install this because after flashing with this particle i have noticed that Now my free ram is maximum 120 to 130 mb after killing all tasks.

On my stock froyo it was upto 170 to 179 after killing all tasks.

So is it common with gingerbread?? oR I should use this script?

Installed the RAM Manager Free, From this link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18809634&postcount=58.

its an application by Juwe11 an alternative to Ram Optimizer Script by Juwe11.

After installing this and applying changes i don't feel any difference. still the maximum ram is about 130 mb

This also happened to me,

So i did this and it worked for me.

Go to a2sdgui, in the 1st column mean app2sd there is option swap is deactivated. i have clicked it but still its deactivated. so just click it, and wait for some time. after that go to dalvik and than click on Dalvik cache on SD-ext. it will work and your cell will reboot.

if it didn't just move back to the aap2sd column click on zipalign on boot, it will turn on.

than try dalvik cache on sd-ext.

it worked for me hope so i works for you. best of luck.

1. use Root Explorer

2. Explore to /data/system/ and find this file : accounts.db

3. Delete that file (accounts.db)

4. Reboot your Android device.

5. voila…! you can register another account ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:

"update_binary" that uot kitchen put in the update archive is wrong (for gio). Replace-it with "update_binnary" from a zip update that works (for example the one used for root).
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] shuegig:
is it the the part where they say current uot file settings,in the file upload part?

Is anyone else having problems playing recorded 2d videos on there computer? I recorded about 30 videos in 2d 720p and they all play fine on my phone. However, after transferring them to my computer only 3 or 4 of them will play in most players. I can get them all to play in VLC but the others will not play in Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic or vReveal. They were all recorded using the same settings so this doesn't make sense.
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
Windows Media Player doesn't support many video formats, I would just forget about WMP al together and opt for VLC as it is better in every aspect.
[HTC EVO 3D] bnl552:
If it were just windows media player it would not be an issue but it is also Windows Media player Classic which plays just about anything as well as vReveal which I use to stabilize shaky videos.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
My Mac plays them just nicely.
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
WMP Classic plays the same codecs as WMP. Microsoft simply does not support the codecs used by the 3vo. I believe the 3vo records in 3gp (correct me if im wrong), and I know that none of the WMPs play that.

Macs play 3GP just fine on stock.

To enter in stock recovery you must press both volume buttons (if you are on Froyo) or the right lower corner of the screen (if you are on Eclair) when the Android with the exclamation mark appears.
[Defy General] THBlurism:
If screen show droid and exclamation mark, you must pressing the Volume button twice to enter Stock recovery menu

use Volume up / down to select and then press the Power button to execute the selected command.

wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition and reboot

After that, access bootloader and flash a new (2.2.2) sbf
