HI

FORCE CLOSE PROBLEM ON GALAXY GIO ..(CM 7.1)

any one could help me

(where we should check vm value)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] NatureBar:
Hey,

I posted a while back, but I still was unable to fix my problem. My computer is detecting my Samsung Gio, but the phone is not responding to my PC, and I can't upload any .tar files onto the phone.

I think I did a partial soft brick, since my phone will boot up, but it is a lot slower than before, and a lot of features aren't working properly. I did the /dev/block/stl5 method of unlocking and must have done something wrong, since it didn't unlock and now doesn't work properly.

Is my phone still salvageable? :confused:

I am following every thing. Is there any thing else to configure on computer ??
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] shuegig:
Are u in download mode?

Sent from the GUN in my pants:)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] taand:
Yes, of course, i was in downloading mode.

Edit: After installing KIES, then trying with ODIN worked. Installed GIO pro 1.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Altrac:
anybody have S5660XXKS5 rom with a2sd enabled (installrecovery.sh enabled in init.rc?) If there is, woulld be nice if the link can be posted in the thread :D many thanks ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
download the attached file and Flash it using ODIN.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Altrac:
Thank you very muchhh :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] TTLucian:
Please help.

In order to get a2sd working in stock roms, all you have to do is enable installrecovery.sh in init.rc?

What about swap partition option in a2sd? Will it work too?

How can I add ext3/4 support into a stock rom?

Much appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] apoalex:
if you are on windows 7 64 bit there are known issues of compatibility with odin. p.s. you also have to have kies installed on pc in order to have the driver of the phone installed on the pc.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
Yeah Init.rc is needed to be modified in order to get a2sd (ramdisk need to modfied , if you change it in phone using root explorer it will be lost after reboot). ext3/ext4 support requires both ends , kernel must support ext4/ext3 and all paritions need to be formatted accordingly.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] TTLucian:
So modifying init.rc:

service flash_recovery /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

oneshot

will enable both a2sd and swap?

The SD card needs to have 1. FAT23, 2. EXT2, 3. SWAP?

EDIT:

a2sd scripts don't work (no apps 2 sd and no swap and the partition doesn't get mounted). I installed the latest version and... no go.

On the other side, Link2SD works perfectly! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] c20h25n3o:
I'm running W7 x64 without Kies (just with the drivers from Windows Update) and it's working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ItachiSama:
gio does show nothing, even if is in charge. i think is died :(if i'll have another one for guarantee, i'll post here :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
Being hardware experienced person i want you to suggest few things.

try another battery.

try another charger.

pull out battery and push battery connectors of phone for few times.

connect it to pc even its not booting, and check even slight detection.

check the battery charge with meter, or use your toung on battery terminals if you feel any slight charge on battery then battery is ok. if not battery is dead

if battery, cable, and charger is ok then we can assume there is something wrong with your gio. your conclusion may be wrong about gio being dead or might be not.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ItachiSama:
do not have another battery. tested battery with tongue, felt something (is charged i think).

problems come from phone. sadly :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] andreim3:
whats the difference between android 2.3.3 and giopro v1.3 .. i mean last time when i upg my firmware, i brick my phone with Rom Manager..( so dont install it).. I`m new on android and i wanna know much and much, i have android 2.3.3 gingerbread and i just wanna know if its a better custom bersion of andoird and the version i have. Sorry for my bad english.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djph4ntom:
custom roms are way better then stock ones. they fully use your phone hardware. and as you said never install rom manager = brick. i'd say you go for giopro 1.4 first. its easy to install and works pretty ok. and maybe then go for Cyanogenmod.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] andreim3:
And i need to install giopro v1.2 first? Then Giopro v1.4?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djph4ntom:
i installed giopro 1.4 directly from stock rom. so no. i THINK you need root first but i'm not sure ... go to the giopro 1.4 topic and you will find there everything you need
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] andreim3:
i rooted my phone.. but now i dont find the link to download giopro v.4..

Whats new in this version?

great video waqas bhai ... can you also make a video to show people how to create or upgrade from ext2 to ext4 and a guide on a2sd.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
I already have made a video about ext2 partition , its the same procedure for ext4 , just choose ext4 instead of ext2.

[YOUTUBE]Cygl0qZnbaM[/YOUTUBE]
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dreuzel:
it' s not general to create ext3/ext4 0n window this is hardware dependent not good for a video

i use CWM for partioning and have trouble from android. as2d

has procedures custom rom's like cm 7.1 that autoformats a lot in ext4.

so you are right it is a mess not very well thought thrue.

a better more consistent structure would help a lot. now it is pure guesswork, some roms reformat during setup or even wipe an you are never sure it is not overwritten

switching back to older/stock roms is sometimes an even bigger problem.. stock roms leave formatting but can not handle ext4

in short a mess urgent cleanup in "

CWM required
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] RaihanH:
I already have an ext2 partition. Now i want to install CyanogemMod. Do i need to format the sd card and create a new ext4 partition or Will CyanogenMod convert my ext2 partition to a ext4 partition during the installation process ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
Its your choice , if you want to keep ext2 thats alright . But if you want ext4 which you should , then you have to refomate your sd-ext partition to ext4 . CWM recovery for gio has a bug , it does not format the card correctly so you have to format it using PC.

Download the attached file and replace in you Cyangenmod build .zip . I have deleted the script which was formating the sd-ext .

Path : Open px-cm7-RC-3.0.zip and goto META-INF/com/google/android and delete the updater-script file and uzip may attached file and drag that file(updater-script) in it (you must install winzip or winrar )

NOTE: make partition before flashing cyanogenmod, otherwise you will have to install kernel to make work with a2sd.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djph4ntom:
waqass could this be the reason that a2sd can only see 206mb out of the ext4 partitions ? and is CWM formating the sd-ext everytime you insert the sd in the phone ? or if format it now using pc it will work. my problem is that it has only 206 and when i try to move then to sd it says low space
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
I had that problem , you are right cwm formating the sd-ext partition is the problem.

But CWM recovery does not format everytime , it will format when you install cyanogenmod, do the formating in PC .

NOTE: if you have already installed the cyanogenmod and do not want to install it again , just install new kernel after the making sd-ext partition or reformating, otherwise a2sd will not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djph4ntom:
ok so what i have to do now is to reformat the sd-ext then install a new kernel and it might work. i'll do that tomorow after college. ty waqass

lucky me but on change i'l be in a mess.

can one correct cwm ext4 behavio

a)) format all except sd ext2

b)) format all except sd ext4

what about system? memory?

on sd swap/extension/....
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
Its in RC3 , When you flash cm 7.1 rc3 , it formates your sd-ext partition also , it causes random boots , hanging the device . So Try my updater-script and format your sd-ext parition into ext4 using computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] The aj:
Uh. Sorry.

Really sorry for the noob question but.. I'm having trouble trying to configure s2e on my CM 7.1.. Please provide instructions from the start.. Like settings for partition..

- checklist the advance mode, extended partitions info, mount as ext4

- u also can set read buffer. i'm using 3Mb

- press back, and press menu -> reboot

- if your phone not automatic reboot, u should reboot it manually

- after reboot, open s2e again. u can check whatever u want

- i'm check it all, except Application data (Application data = a2sd extream datasd)

- reboot again

- u need to modified 02gio. see this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19792902&postcount=705

have problem cant checklist application, dalvik-cache, private-apps application-data on s2e after checked mount as ext4 and reboot?

you must format your second partition using computer as ext4

u can use gparted (linux) or minitool partition wizard (windows)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djph4ntom:
waqass i just saw something interesting. ok to go from begining:

I'm using CM7.2 build 4, with gapps installed, and my ext4 partition with 500mb.

i found this on the CM 7.2 forum:

i flashed this, did everything exactly like the post is saying but like many other ppl here in a2sd GUI my sd-ext shows free/full size 64/206mb but when i move all apps on sd-ext the partition stays exactly 64/206mb so the a2sd script is actually using my ext4 and not the partition from a2sd GUI.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
you need to format your sd-ext using computer , many people had that problem , you have to format your sd-ext partition using computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djph4ntom:
did that .. 2 times.. still nothing. but a2sd is working. i have 169mb free internal memory .. its just that its shows wrong .. or it creates its own ext partition..
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] andreim3:

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
card reader is only way for gio's sd-ext partition , because , Gio's cwm recovery format's sd-ext into ext2 and there isn't partitioning option either, If you have any other android with cwm recovery you can use that phone to make ext4 partition , otherwise pc or laptop is the only way .

Try it on other PC , if you have linux try on that. I don't think class 10 is the issue.

Did you format the whole sd card after in the phone before partitioning?? you should format first then try to make partition.

EDIT: ext4 is such a headache I did format my sd-ext again for your problem , and stuck on it . Fortunately i was lucky i got it formatted. Here is how i did it . I formatted it into ext2 than ext4 , do not give any label or name , leave that empty , it worked for me

ok I have it all installed now, thanks for your help.

But I'm confused, the A2SD program says "Apps are on SD!"

In settings>sd card ad phone storage it says Internal phone storage - available space 157mb.

I made (approx) 1gb ext2 partition.

Is this correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
did you click on dalvik and choose ext option and move???
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] azlemad:
yes I did =)

maybe I just misuderstand what this dalvik thingy is..does it only move part of the app? because if I add up all the mb used by all the apps I have installed it should be a lot less than 157mb left :-\ lol.

and also the "System Info" tab in the apps2sd program shows nothing, all the bars are empty is this normal?
