[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Yes that is correct. But I want a universal boot.img so it can decide inside the init.rc which filesystem to boot... I mean not a boot.img for rfs. And another boot.img for ext2 for example. I dont want that. I need the file system to be detected or read

One way to do this is to read it from the sdcard. So we can save which type of filesystem it is on the sdcard... And detect the filesystem likewise and maybe boot it this way...

If I find out how to detect the filesystem or read it from a file on the sdcard we are saved ;)

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------

That depends how I implement it. Actually our Gio has pretty fast storage. But we can always improve speed from going from rfs to ext2/3/4

---------- Post added at 09:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

You can easily convert /cache and /data without making backups. But I need to figure out a script for /system though. Since we need to move all files and move it back
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Thats a problem of uot. Still you can moddify a lot of things. Like menu colors and such. Play around with it. In my experience emoticons is the only that doesnt work
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
I think bootanimation.zip must be placed in /system/media ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Yes i have. Thanks for your concern. I went through a lot of problems. It was a key mapping issue. Volume up key was acting as home key. While the real home key didnt do anything. So i was entering wrong combinations without actually knowing
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] melorib:
I followed instructions from the web, copy a few files to system/bin and zip animation to system/media, **** happened... :eek:

The phone just played the boot animation forever, even factory reset on recovery didnt fix it, had to Odin the ROM again... :o
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Can you send me a link to those instructions? So i can take a look into it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] melorib:
1.	Download Custom Boot-Animation Patch

2.	Make a new folder ‘patchfiles’ on the SD card.

3.	Unzip the patch so that all files appear beneath the folder ‘patchfiles’.

4.	Open ‘Root Explorer’.

5.	Head over to /sd-card/patchfiles

6.	Press the Menu key.

7.	Choose Multi-select.

8.	Without bootanimation.zip, select all the files.

9.	Press on the bottom, Copy.

10.	Press back key 2 times.

11.	Head over to /system/bin/

12.	Press Paste. If it asks for replacement, confirm to replace all the files.

13.	Go to the ‘patchfiles’ folder that you made in Step2 above.

14.	Copy the boot-animation zip file and put it in the /system/media/

15.	Reboot phone.

16.	You now need to enjoy the news boot-animation .
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] 1Jonathan1:
Works thanks! We now need cf-root kernel with ext2/3/4 somebody know how to open the boot.img?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] melorib:
I put this up to show what didnt work on my phone... :p
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] 1Jonathan1:
Works on stock XXKQG haha strange that it didn't work on yours! I changed a few things but no big deal...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
The init.d stuff you got me is not working... Don't I have to load that /system/bin/mot_boot_mode in the init.rc file ? or am I missing something?

I will take a look into the bootanimation... I have to find out what I did. I know I uncommented a service so a extra bootanimation service is loaded up... I thought that might help... I will try finding out

---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

Yes,

Google for Android Kitchen...

If you use windows you can run it from cygwin...

Very easy ;)

Feel free to edit my boot.img and rom... I will give you credits for helping. But please notify me where you make changes :)

I also have a suggestion.

I want to make this a community ROM. So we can all work together. Get the app2sd work together. So we each have to work less for a complete good ROM.

I do not want to see ram scripts. They should be optionally downloadable in a update.zip...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
app2sd will be supported soon! I found what I have to do. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] 1Jonathan1:
Just use the boot.img posted in the big galaxy gio thread and apply activation script that worked for me! I will try to enable ext2/3/4! I believe it is just a setting in the linux kernel config or in the build config! So no big deal if I have some time:p always if haha
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
filesystems are mounted in init.rc

filesystems can be converted as following:

busybox mkfs.ext2 [...]

that's all we need.

and in install-recovery.sh we need to fsck our filesystems ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
app2sd is working guys.

upload is coming today or tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] 1Jonathan1:
Nice! The samsung kernel only supports ext2 right? So we have to edit the boot.img to get ext4! Nice work btw!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
I don't know... Don't ask me about that :D

I think you can add modules in the initramfs...

But that's not just it... I think you need to import the modules then in init.rc I am not sure

I think it needs kernel editing
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] tehpunk:
Does this rom have stock apps ? Wanna change from my crappy RAM eating stock ROM to this one
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
This ROM has all the stock apps removed which are downloadable on the market. But the ones who are not available on the android market are kept.

I kept the rom clean and fast. So everyone could install whatever he wants. Don't forget Android likes to cache things into RAM. So it's normal
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Care to tell us how you got Darktremor a2sd working?

I just downloaded your ROM (in addition to a bunch of others that said they had a2sd working), split the boot.img, looked at init.rc where I expected the changes to be, only to fail finding anything...

Regards,

Darkshado
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
1. In init.rc I uncommented install-recovery.sh service

2. Follow instructions of installing darktremor app2sd

3. export ROM ;)

From the install-recovery.sh I can also make init.d work...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] woda85:
dont work, when i launch phone, its stop on sing galaxy gio :/

I install whith instruction and base firmware

In odin 1) big partition size!!

EDIT: ok i done it, in second time, rom quite nice, but one problem, its little laggy compare to giopro for example
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] 1Jonathan1:
Just use it for some minutes and it becomes fast! Android is starting and that takes some time
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] woda85:
I agree, but galery is very laggy

and contact.apk get crashed every time "android.acore"
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Download KQG rom from samfirmware.com, then install my ROM on top of it... Maybe that works better for you...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] woda85:
I flash it once again whith your instructions, and now its ok, a dont know what is changed. Maybe i write earlier posts to fast. Im sorry and you do great work.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Theeky:
hi,

Nice build you got there, you have consider implement Adobe Flash Player??

I'm trying to install some adobe flash apk that really works but it's getting hard :)

Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
I will see if I implement it ;) I do my best.

I am trying to find a friendly way for ext2 first

I am writing a script to convert the whole filesystem
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Ext2 support is put on hold again. I didn't get a breakthrough. I am still having performance issues on my Gio. Is anyone else having performance issues? Slow keyboard opening in mms.apk or slow scrolling?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] woda85:
In my gio, mms is ok. Scrolling is slow for a moment, when i get back from lock screen and this back is from a big while, only then.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
The problem is that Flash Player uses a compiled library which is only compatible with ARM v7 processors, while the Gio uses v6. Until Adobe releases a compatible library file, support will most likely be unstable at best.

Someone's made a script that converts the Galaxy Tab from RFS to ext4, which works on the Gio with a few changes. CWM sees and mounts the partitions with no problem, now its a matter of having a compatible kernel and ramdisk boot.img: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=934510
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] omernaeem17:
Hey friend i hav recently bought gio for developing ..........does dsi kitchen support samsung galaxy roms ??? m going to port cm7 on it and secondly m looking for n e overlock/underlock kernel all custom roms of galaxy gio r using stock kernel that really sux :(

i hav jux overlocked my ideos/wildfire 525-789mhz and gio has a turbo processor if m nt wrong if YES............ then it can easily b overlocked to 1ghz
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:
AFAIK Gio as an CPU overclocked by default to 800MHz.

and even at 800Mhz, it's getting hot from almost anything.

I don't see how it should work stable at 1GHz.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Oh my god... You are right... That explains why the Gio is so cheap...

I had a Galaxy 3 with cpu 667mhz running stable 24/24 at 1ghz ;)

I think most of you forget Androids are still phones... They are not meant for gaming or benchmarking.

If you want to do stuff like word processing ok fine. ;)

Can we have someone who is able to make overclocking or undervolt kernels ?

We really need an expert for our Gio who is capable of making custom kernels if we want our Gio to grow stronger
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] omernaeem17:
I dnt think so.......... according to samsung it has a turbo processor and it iznt overlocked

but when overclock my ideos from 525-789 and its stable bt still gio is damn fast +point:D

but my gio is getting HOT same as my ideos/wildfire when i overclock them from 652 to 789 -point

battery is also very ****ty and it could b becuz ov overclocking

Battery can b fix if someone port smartass v2 governor to gio's kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
I think I solved the issue in v2.3

That problem we have is on every stock ROM. It seems to be worse with GioPro and SimpliGio.

I hope I fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] omernaeem17:
m working on it dude porting cm7 on gio i m almost done with rom but my friend is still working with kernel (need smartass v2 governor on gio's kernel to make its battery stable)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Looking forward to that. I suggest you compare with S5570 and S5830 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Theeky:
I have already seen some adobe flash modified apk, but no one really worked for this version at least.

I updated to the version 2.3.4 XXKQG, as your version I think.. anyone noticed that the alarm clock have less configurations.. (like "delay and start again" in X minutes).

This version are bugging me in some thinks.. that is only one of them.

I will give a try in your ROM v2.3

Thanks for your efforts :) ,
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Download a other custom alarm app. I didn't touch that at all ;) What is bugging you? I need to know what is bugging you. Probably what is bugging you is not my fault, but XXKQG base fault.

Tell me your favorite base and I might make a quick version of that one... I am also thinking of making a 2.2.1 and 2.3.3 build of my rom for those who want older versions of Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Updated my thread. New version is almost ready
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] tehpunk:
This starting to be like one of the best GIO ROM's atm

Keepup the good work :))
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dvdpt:
hello, Which tweaks were added to build.prop?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Theeky:
My english is bad.. sorry,

Is annoying me the lack of alarm definitions.

This last

base

version 2.3.4 have some bugs in the sms (and maybe mms), it's like the problems that 2.3.3 first version have (opens search when you are writing the message, and others..).

And I have installed the new swype beta version, but the keypad doesn't appear quick when I press the box to answer the message, sometimes doesn't load at all others loads immediately in less than a second..

The app2sd works in this base version with a quick restart after phone OP loads.. but the other bugs will make me install a new previous ROM today or tomorrow.. I'm sick of this 2.3.4

base

Rom (from 2011 September 7) version! :mad:

Hope this helps you identifying some bugs with base version.. maybe you should work with some previous version to start ROM modifications.

Regards,
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
I don't have that bug that it opens a search box. I cannot fix that bug.

The keypad-not-appear bug is fixed in build 2.3 of my ROM. However this is not a bug I caused. But it seems I fixed it or reduced the keypad delay ;) I almost find it no longer irritating in the new build. The keypad delay seems to happen if the phone has been in use for a while. (When the dalvik.vm is fully built or let's say optimal) While the dalvikvm is not optimal. I reduced dalvikvm heapsize and that solved it.

What is the last base that works best for you? If I get donations enough for a second Gio I can start working on multiple ROM versions at the same time and do more extensive testing... However I only received 10$ so far.

But please don't blame me. Do me a favor and call samsung to fix this bug. :D Tell them you have a friend (me) who has the same problem.

I actually was about to dump my phone for this issue. But it seems I seem to have solved it or have reduced the effect. My keypad is now loading instantly 99% and other times with 1s delay. So it's doable...

Keep monitoring this thread. I hope to make a new release tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
dalvik vm heapsize is now 24m and starts at 8m

I also added few properties that allow the device that allow deeper power saving of other components of the phone such as the GSM/CDMA... It's hard to test. But seems to be working so far ;)

I don't keep track closely but I added 15 tweaks in next version
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] sbbnm_2005:
hi could you add original persian language to it
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
I think adding persian language is not possible. I am not sure but I will try.

Build v2.3 is delayed. Some tweak was causing random reboots and was causing the wifi not to work. I am reapplying everything
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dvdpt:
won't heapsize interfere with touchwiz launcher? I think I read that samsungs came with 64M because of the launcher.

But I am not sure, and of course this won't be a problem if another (light) launcher is used.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] tudy23:
how about the long not unlocked unlock problem?my friend just updated to the official 2.3(i somehow dragged her into this) and she says that the update made her phone worse than better and that she has to wait for 3 seconds or so when she unlocks her phone(i tested that myself and its true, the unlock screen doesn't want to dissapear). Thanks for the awnser.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
My only opinion is that the Gio should be named the worst phone of the year... I am having random reboots, freezes, lag on every ROM...

Steps of troubleshooting:

1. Install CWM Recovery

2. Boot into recovery do a complete data/cache wipe including dalvik cache...

3. Root the phone

4. Find a way to install Busybox...

5. Use Supercharger V6 script to generate balanced settings 1 2 or 3 for you. They seem to work best on our Gio.

To be honest I really did not find a solution yet... Lowering dalvik vm cache seemed to help. But then you would get force closes because we run out of memory. The only problem is that Gingerbread has too agressive memory killer settings. I think that is our problem.

Installing supercharger v6 seemed to helped me most here... I will integrate my recommended supercharger settings ;) so I dont violate his rules...

I am actually trying to get some money together in hope to find a solution for our Gio. I managed to get €70,00 but I need €130 more. I cannot do everyday testing 24h and screw my battery :P Usually I do this on the train or the bus. But then I can't send text messages.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Explains why I had suddenly so much forcecloses on 24m heapsize :/ I should try finding the lowest possible value which would not result in a force close... I was hoping for at least 48m or 32m.

I think 48m is our only hope
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] 1Jonathan1:
I currently use your v2.2 rom but it works like a charm! The 3D games work well, the launcher is very fast, no lagg at all! YOu applied some tweaks from giopro and roms like that right? Those tweaks always make my phone feel slow! When I use those tweaks my quadrant changes from 1080 to 1030 or something, and my phone feels like 2x slower! Maybe there is your problem? Vm=heapsize 48m works fine! 32 gives problems!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Theeky:
Hi again,

Recently I noticed some bugs with 2G/3G network, my phone is charging now and I will try the version: S5660XXKPS_S5660OXXKPC_S5660XXKPA v233

At least, until now, the unique version that works great as the 2.3.4 from 23 Jully, but this version comes with a bug in programs, they all take space in SD card and in Phone at same time. Without this bug is the best version ever made!

If you know how to correct that issue please tell me :D

This last version 2.3.4 really remembers me the firs 2.3.3 launch in Portugal, almost have all the same bugs..

Tell-me how your version works after all the changes you are making, and I will give it a try.. I don't think the version I'm installing now will be free of bugs.. as always :(

Bye,
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] 1Jonathan1:
It's not a bug! This is normal! Most apps have their data on the SD card and they have the save files/configs on the phone! This is to prevent data loss! So if your SD card crashes you still have your save files and config files! This is just a feature in gingerbread!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
I will lower dalvik vm size to 48m in next build. But I don't think it will be necessary. It seems I did something now on the stock ROM that improved responsiveness...

I think the most important thing is to install CWM and clear and wipe every data or cache you can. Please don't wipe battery stats :D

They call it standaardafwijking in dutch. Or a standard deviation. So it is possible your scores are the same. Don't forget this sentence below :D

I noticed half of the Gio tweaks are not working. Specially the init.d tweaks are NOT working. I ran them in debug mode. But the script would never complete its run because of syntax errors...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Theeky:
But it's not happens in this last version.. I give you an example, the free internal space I have in that version 2.3.4 from Jully are 10MB, with almost the same programs and much more in this 2.3.4 from September I have more than 85MB free with or without link2sd the version have some issue in host space apps.. if it isn't a bug is something else!

I think.. maybe I will try that version again in future.. lol

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] 1Jonathan1:
Haha, Iknow how they call such things in dutch! But are you going to add camera tweaks? And 3g turbocharger tweaks? It would be nice if we could talk in dutch but there are forum rules which we have to respect....

Edit: what do you call a fast boot? My phone boots in under 30 seconds or so! That's pretty fast
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
True, but Jonas might do like I did for my ROM, and make a thread in another forum and cross-link the two. (French in my case, I used frandroid, I know there's androidiani in Italian, I guess there's gotta be at least one similar Android site in Dutch...)

Can you tweak DialPad to search name as default, the stock DialPad search by numbers entered
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Theeky it's not a bug... Sometimes applications are stored completely on the sdcard for some odd reason.

It seems to fix lag issues you have to:

Install KQG base rom

Install CWM

Wipe dalvik cache, data and cache

Install My rom

Wipe everything again.

This seems to eliminate all lag. I think the issue is the dalvik cache.

I think our Gio should have its own forums... I saw phones with less activity getting their own forums on XDA... But we don't seem to get one... I hate that!

I get 40 more points in quadrant :) Let's work little longer :D! I think I have the lag fixed. Still beta testing :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] 1Jonathan1:
Nice! I agree! We just need a forum for the galaxy gio! At the moment we have the most active threads on the android hacking general forum!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Check my signature. Made new tutorial for the newbies among us ;) It took me weeks to find out. Now enjoy :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:
I'm using latest KQG firmware, installed with odin. Added: root, SetCpu, Go Launcher Ex, uot kitchen to put % at battery symbol; some other small programs; Removed: clockwidget, dualclock, talkback, gmail, forest, unifiedinbox, ttsservice, talk, street, snsprovider, snsaccount, samsungwidget-stock.., samsungappsuna3, samsungapps, livewallpaperspicker, geniewidget, email and dlna.

I've had no lag, no reset, no shutdown, no heat.

It's been 4 days and 17h I have charged the phone, and I still have 66% battery, but t was used only for small calls. My Nk3310 used to last 6 days in stand-by, with 1200mAh battery and modified LED driver (to lower the consumption). So I can't ask more from GIO !

With android 2.3 I've experienced the same lag/restart/etc as anybody else, so my phone is an ordinary Gio. The same happened with KQG when I've deleted one of the default apps (but I don't know which, because I solved quickly the problem by rewriting ROM)

I bet it's because of a default stock app that you have remove-it/edited.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Moddified LED driver? Where ? Seriously I barely hit 2 days only text messaging :/

I wish we could backtrack where the lag is coming from. There seems to be some kind of wake lag too. But all the problems seem to happen randomly. Even on Froyo.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
I think I am going to sell my Gio if these problems persist. I can't type message properly and I am tired.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Theeky:
Hi,

I think all my problems (except lag in start swype keypad), are caused by some app..

About Swype.. with uninstall and fresh install it is much better now.

I'm really considering to try another type of keypad.. the big problem is that my version of swype are with all languages and because of that is bigger and takes more time to load.. I think the solution passes by making some swype version with only English/Portuguese dictionaries.. but I don't have time to try this for now.

[djjonastybe], take a deep breath and relax some minutes :D

I think you maybe need to not load so much things at same time in your ROM, one step at time.. and keep it simple =)

Bye,
