You know there's a bloat remover now so that can be applied to any rom. Search for that thread, but according to your post you don't want to waste your time lol, so nvm.

And for the time you took to create this post and read any replies other than mine, you could have flashed any rom you wanted.

But because you asked a general question, I'll give you an answer. Go insert coin. But in reality, each phone is different in each owners possession so the beauty is in the eye of the flasher in all custom ROMs.
[HTC Sensation] CGCR:
Not necessarily stating that I don't want to "waste my time", I'm saying I don't want to spend a lot of time hopping from one rom to another to test them all out to see which one I like, as I've seen many users on here do.

and I realize that in the time it took me to make this thread I could have DL'd a rom but the problem remains that I have no clue which Rom to begin with. Which is why I'm asking for help for suggestions

Thank you for your rom recommendation and for telling there's a bloat remover, I'll check it out

What size do the images need to be for a boot animation?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanB412:
The boot animations don't need an exact size actually because the text file that goes in the zip is what will set the size. I would suggest keeping a 480 x 800 ratio though so it doesn't come out looking skewed. If anything you could even make the animation that size right off the bat to save yourself some trouble.

I'll post a link to a tutorial for you in a bit.

Here ya go:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623960

The desc.txt file in there determines how long each part of the animation plays and what size to scale it to as well. Try not to make it too big though or it might look too compressed when the phone scales it.

When I open SetCPU it get a pop up that says Root access not detected, but at the same time I get the standard popup at the bottom that says SetCPU has been granted superuser permission.

For whatever reason SetCPU isnt realizing that it has root access, and then I am not able to change my main profile. I have superuser to remember to allow, and it shows up on the list in superuser as well...

Any ideas? I've tried clearing its permission in superuser, uninstalling/reinstalling setcpu with the same results....

Well I'm getting a Samsung Galaxy S2 next week.

(I live in Australia)

I've done some searching and researching and it seems that there is

a different between the i9100 and i9103 in terms of their processor

and the fact that the i9100 had 1.2ghz while the i9103 has 1ghz.

My question is that if the phone I get next week is a i9103 model are all the rooting/modding/themes on this forum useless to my device as they won't work as they seem to be for the i9100 model.

Hopefully you guys can help. Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
Galaxy s2 will have the 1.2 ghz processor, and the name of i9103 is called Galaxy R, unless you ordered galaxy R, you will get all the custom roms,tweaks available here for s2.

By the way Galaxy R has tegra chipset which is completely different from S2

Hi, I have ran through a few forums and google but I'm not sure if I did the correct keywords of "music and video detection on usbStorage i9100" but didn't get anything that I can use so do please forgive my noob question.

I have a 32g microSDHC card and all the media were picked up by stock players. However, media files on usbStorage folder were not detected. I can only access them through Astro and was able to play the files with stock player.I did a factory reset and formatted the contents when I bought the phone (rooted). No idea what I can do now :(. I'm wondering if anyone knows a way of getting stock players to detect the media files on usbStorage.

I read this on xda forum but I have no idea what that means.

Hey guys,

Trying to sync my contacts with those one Facebook that way when they call me their profile pic shows up. But I don't see an option to sync. I'm running miui 1.8.12 with tiamat kernel. I know with other roms I had that option.
[EVO 4G General] VENOMENON_24:
I did it though the facebook app. Good luck.
[EVO 4G General] lurk24:
I tried going to add accounts but let me select Facebook
[EVO 4G General] n8te_1:
what VENOMENON_24 is trying to say is go to the market and download the facebook app. (dont log in through the browser) when you sign into the facebook app it will ask you to "sync with contacts" select yes and your good to go.
[EVO 4G General] lurk24:
I am using the Facebook app. It sync only some of the contacts not all. I also try matching the names exactly how they have it in fb only shows what seems like coding but won't sync to their fb
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
go to settings in the facebook app and hit Sync All
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
For those that aren't being matched with their Facebook profile, but that have an entry from Facebook in your contacts app...

Go to the Contacts app and find the person you want to merge to the FB contact. Select the contact, select menu > edit contact, then menu > join.

Aside from a couple of people, mine synced up perfectly. I didn't have to do anything special through MIUI other than join 3 people because they have idiotic Facebook names that aren't their given names.

Some people use SyncMyPix or whatever the app is called to get photos to show in Contacts. It may be worth trying if you still have problems.

MIUI isn't the same as Sense. The social networking integration that's a part of Sense isn't native in AOSP roms. I think Facebook and other such sites are kind of lame, so I don't miss it.

Aside from the typical cliche of reminding you to put your flame suit on, has one considered that it may be location related and had you checked a local Verizon store to determine if their 4G units are experiencing like problems?

The key to basic troubleshooting is to rediscover the basic fundamentals of the obvious solutions, available to you, prior to stepping to the in-depth possibilities that may exist otherwise. - shawnathan9 ;)

First off, Thanks for the quick tip with the ## thing..Didn't know about that:eek:..Secondly, I will try another radio, I think the Liquid rom does use the official MR2 radio..I'll try that and see..Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
Just a heads-up...radios are not included in roms. Rom threads simply state which radios they work with but it seems users think that means those roms are including the radio which is incorrect. You will need to flash a radio in bootloader (not recovery) if you want to try a different one.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2k10MBC300SPT:
I've loaded dozens of roms and understand that Radios do not come with any rom. I also know how to flash radios as well. Thanks for your input anyways.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
I didn't mean to offend you or anything. Just a common mistake and something in the last comment made it sound like you thought they were in roms so I wanted to mention it. I suppose I read too much into it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dajogejr:
Try enabling Wifi for a while....then turning it off.

Every once in a while when I flash a new ROM (seems to happen more on AOSP based) it starts off in 1x, then LTE...then 3G.

Sometimes you just gotta let it settle... But I've found using WiFi, then turning it off and using the LTE on/off app (it's the same as the ##, just quicker) you can get LTE working.

Finicky....but it works...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ready5:
Go back to MR2.5 704 is great in the cities, but it tightens up tolerances too much for other areas. Another issue with MR3 aka 704 is that 3G data is wicked touchy when your dealing with 96dbm and higher. MR2.5 was a release and I have good reason to believe the next radio release be it official/final or leaked will be more loose like 2.5

[General Questions and Answers] ssy080:
Hello,

I have bought a North American (Canadian, to be exact) Galaxy Gio (S5660M, with an additional "M" from the European model).

There are lots of tutorials about S5660 rooting and unlocking, but none for S5660M. There has been some reports that flashing S5660 firmware on S5660M to root and unlock made their phones unusable (randomly changing screen brightness, etc).

I tried searching on google and XDA, but could not find any relating to S5660M.

Is it too early to see any rooting/unlocking on S5660M?

Thank you very much!
[General Questions and Answers] Darkshado:
Hello,

After some reading on here to compare unlock methods, I decided to take the leap into the unknown. I used the one published in this thread. (EDIT: Check out this one instead, perfectly safe.) (It turns out that the Gravity Smart, Galaxy Q, 551, 550, Mini, Ace, Fit, and Gio are siblings in a few respects. They all share Qualcomm 7x27 family SoCs.)

One deviation from the above linked thread is that SuperOneClick does not work on the 2.3.4 MUGK3 firmware. Updated versions of SuperOneClick do work with the firmware. Worst case scenario the program won't finish gracefully, but you'll have a root shell and you can work from there.

I've uploaded my modified superuser zip that'll work with the 5660M. Install through recovery mode. Removed - the superuser files within were long obsolete. Get the current ones through proper channels.

I wouldn't risk flashing the ROMs posted here until we can get a complete backup ROM, either from samfirmware.com (they don't have one yet) or through efforts here. I'll be starting another thread here for that purpose. Backup made a long time ago and SamMobile has had an official Odin image for some time as well.

There's been some issues reported with the 5660M, ranging from odd screen brightness behavior to bricking. (Many ROMs initially posted for the 5660, left "as is" also flash both the kernel and radio: not good.)

Goodbye,

Darkshado
[General Questions and Answers] ssy080:

[General Questions and Answers] jklc:
could you tell me how I could unlock my phone too.
[General Questions and Answers] Biker1bob:
New tonight

Just picked up a GIO here tonight.

BTW Future Shop in Canada has these on for $80 right now.

I think this is a great deal, for a very responsive 2.3 android phone.

OK,

So S5660m - is the version in canada it would seem.. I think there are going to be quite a lot of owners because of the pricing.

We should use this thread or another to setup a difinitive list of what works.

1. How to root the phone.

2. Unlocks that work - I have heard some methods brick Ms very easy. What is the best unlock method specific to the M

3. What ROMs can we use? do we need to have our own set of modified roms because of the modem portion?

4. Overclocking.. I have heard these can clock up to 1100 and run awsome!!

This is my wish list.

[General Questions and Answers] Darkshado:
Hello James. Welcome to XDA.

Whoa there early thread starter! Use the search engine before even thinking of starting another thread. We don't have a dedicated Gio forum at the moment so things are scattered all over. Advanced search is handy as it outputs threads instead of posts.

Same as a lot of other phones, apply a zip file through CWM. You could also flash an already rooted ROM with Odin.

The bml5 method is safe. I noticed I had left a link to the older and unsafe stl5 method in my post above and removed it.

And keep your unlock code accessible somewhere on the phone. This phone is known to relock itself to Bell in some specific scenarios.

Yes, and no. If you only flash system.rfs, and maybe boot.img, it should work based on what others have reported.

I've cooked up a ROM for the 5660M that's called ArpegGioMod if you want to have a look.

Another point to consider if you want to run your phone in French: the Eurasian ROMs may or may not have that locale, and will likely have an AZERTY keyboard instead of a QWERTY one.

Do not flash radio (AMSS) or the other bootloaders from the Euro 5660. The former will make you lose all cellphone connection, the latter is unnecessary and increases your chances of bricking.

Where'd you get that? The only kernel mods I've seen so far for any Gio are all ramdisk modifications that left the stock kernel untouched.
[General Questions and Answers] hinaini:
Just to clairify darkshadow, by "bml5 method" you mean this ?

0) brand new locked GT-S5660M phone frome the store

1A) root the device using this zip

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16962635&postcount=2

simplest method :

1.1 To begin, download the zip file from the link above and copy it to the root of your SD card.

1.2 Power the phone off.

1.3 Boot into recovery mode by holding the middle button and pressing the power button.

1.4 Once in recovery mode, select update from sdcard and choose the update.zip that you copied to your SD card.

1.5 Let the file flash and once done, reboot your phone.

OR

1B Follow EDIT2, for temp rooting on same URL below

2. Follow exact instructions as per here:

(with the slight modification for HEX code to search specified here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17311381&postcount=358 )

Question: Does it matter if there is a SIM card in the phone when following these instructions ?

Any thoughts about "Network Lock Control Key" ?? ( ... would appear that this shows up as a separate issue for some users some time after unlocking see:

IMEI: Mod Edit: IMEI # Removed...not a great idea to post them on a public forum :)
[General Questions and Answers] Darkshado:
Let me start with things you shouldn't do:

-Resurrect two year old, stale, threads.

-Post your IMEI for everyone to see.

Exactly *how* is your USB port messed up? Just not talking to the computer or not working at all?

Are you rooted? If not, get that sorted out by using one of the exploits that worked on Gingerbread. You'll have to do it manually, no SuperOneClick for you. (Although the binaries included might come in handy.)

It is possible to do the commands to get bml5 via a terminal emulator app, and then transfer that file over wi-fi. (Samba, WebDAV, FTP, Dropbox, etc...)

I'm not sure anymore if this is possible in GB, look into using ADB over wi-fi instead of USB. I've sold my Gio months ago, and all of my current devices run 4.1+.

What he's saying is he's waiting for a custom ROM with no Sense and good reputation (i.e. CM7) to come along, then he'll flash that. He doesn't want to flash any custom ROM because he's heard bad things about some, which may or may not be true. You got a problem with that?

Personally, my favourite custom ROMs for the Sensation are InsertCoin 2.2 and Android Revolution HD. I'm not gonna flash any more ROMs until I can completely refresh my Sensation and put a clean, small ROM on it, without Sense. That ROM is CM7 :)
