[Galaxy S II General] jerome.d:
Hello all,

Did anyone else notice that the v3 of Android Market is quite buggy when it comes to updating apps?

It's been twice in a few days that I had the same issue: when I go to "my applications", see that one can be updated (because in spite of having checked the "check for update" button, it rarely indicates me that updates are available, at least not after a few days), click on it and select "update", it just keeps on showing "charging" on the screen, without network error and without getting to the page where I can accept the update (I am not talking about downloading the app itself, but just charging the final page where I can accept the download).

I did manage a few days ago, after having wiped clear the Market cache and data, to update one of my app (titanium backup). But today, when trying to update "text edit", I found that the problem re-appeared (it has kept on "charging" for 5 minutes without giving me the page where I can accept the update).

It seems to behave well if I try to add new apps, it just completely bugs when I try to update my apps.
[Galaxy S II General] commodoor:
I also didn't like the new market. I get notification that there are updates available but when i click i don't see the updates.

Restoring apps with titanium backup doesn't make the app show up in my apps so i dont get update notification. But when i search the app it shows installed and that there is a update.

Getting in the market is also slow. I hope it gets fixxed and responds quicker
[Galaxy S II General] rdy2go:
No more automatic updates (really automatic - without my intervention)

Slow as hell, it's really FRUSTRATING, such a fast device, such slow Market

I hate it, the worst Android app ever, the least responsive.

The best way to discourage people from using the market - congratulations Google on that!
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
True, speed sucks with the new market. As well as prompting you for an update when there is no update. Hopefully they'll optimize it seeing it's so crappy on a device like SII, wonder how fast is it on a low spec device :o
[Galaxy S II General] THUDUK:
How do you go back to the original market, is there an apk available?
[Galaxy S II General] rockky:
Market has been an android embarrassment since day 1.

They need to copy apple on this one.
[Galaxy S II General] bilal671:
The leaked versions floating around all were quite buggy for me with all of them having different problems but the official one that was released actually works fine for me. Are you all using the official one that was released or the later/earlier leaked versions floating around?
[Galaxy S II General] commodoor:
Which version are you using. Im on 3.0.27 ( i think)
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
here ya go mate;)

Vending.apk - 1.86MB
[Galaxy S II General] jerome.d:
I never did anything to get the new market. It just was here one day, without any notification of update (in a sense, this is quite strange for an app to be updated without even giving a notification).

My version is 3.1.3.
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
You can't go back, after some use, it would automatically update itself again, I too have been having issues where an app says there is an update, and I don't get the option to click on update.

Hopefully google just went with the new design with plans to optimize it as we moving along, cause it is a bit to slow and buggy right now.
[Galaxy S II General] Annihlist:
+1. I have also had an issue where the new market just sits there and loads forever when trying to download or update an app.

Also timeouts when I have a steady internet connection forcing me to press the retry button.

About this ROM

This ROM is all about battery, performance and stability. GioPro, SimpliGio, and Sgg dt have many tweaks which are not working due to syntax errors. While some others may work but are not optimized for our Gio. Don't get me wrong. They are great roms! But I hope I can correct what I feel they did wrong.

Version 1.1 uploaded at http://code.google.com/p/gt-s5660-jonashendrickx-rom

Added app2sd support

Let me know what you think of it
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] woda85:
Hi,

Can you give me the link for app2sd? There was link before. Please beacause i cant, do it in my gio.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
I had integrated app2sd. But it was not working on reboot. So I had to reapply it again.

I am currently asking people for help on how I can keep a2sd on start.

However a2sd can be found here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1209425

If you happen to know a solution on how to auto start scripts let me know
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] woda85:
i dont know. for link2sd i use script manager to run "install-recovery.sh"
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
I will look for script manager.I will work as fast as possible
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ghaston droid:
good work !! screenshot plz :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:
Please, no default ROM manager. There are users who brick their phones using ROM manager, apparently without doing stupid things. Please see here: http://s5660.pl/temat-martwy-gio

forum is in polish, but google translate will do a good job ;)

And if I'm allowed, please let me tell what I would like to see on a "generic" custom rom:

- rooted;

- root explorer integrated;

- deodexed;

- phone should not be unlock by menu (power) button + left touch button (as with gio versions);

- safe tweaks to memory;

- a2sd installed but not activated (I don't like logs full of errors from a2sd);

- GUI: icons from GIOpro_v3, CRT animation, unlock buttons from simplygio (the round blue-red ones, with a sharp corner) - or a separate theme (maybe editable by userd) that can be applied;

- default: launcher (can be changed by user, no big deal), music player, no app that can be installed simply from market or internet.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and (the most important!) your work with us!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] rahulmaxi01:
Screenshot Please.

I also would like to not to have unlock by menu option.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Screenshots coming!

Do you guys mind I replaced the default messaging mms.apk with Go SMS Pro? Since there happens to be a bug in mms.apk on every Gio that makes the keyboard appear relatively slower.

v1.4 will feature Touchwiz launcher again, removed CWM
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:
Go SMS Pro is free on the market, and removing mms.apk is easy with root explorer, isn't? I don't think you should bother replacing the default one.

In place, I propose to do something like Slax:simple updates that can be applied over the ROM, to add (or change) functionality.

so, for example, there should be one update to replace the default messaging application with Go SMS Pro.

is-it reasonable? it should help you to release a clean bug-free ROM, and users will not flash the whole system over and over again. IMHO this will be great.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Root Explorer suckes in my opinion...

Try looking for Advanced Tools (free)

It has a built in task manager which is able to see everything. Not just running programs, even the acore etc...

The file explorer is far superior to those I have seen. You also have like 4 tabs.

A build.prop editor is also in it.

If you guys want I will release a quick fix with just the Mms.apk and touchwiz30launcher.apk back in action. But I am actually working on ext2 conversion and support for /cache /data and /system for our phone... So far it works, I have Quadrant score of 1600
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:
Advanced Tools is looking good, but I did not test-it enough (yet).

1600 on Quadrant is quite a good score, it just tell us that you are on the right way!

I understand that at this moment moving/extending some folders on the sdcard is the hardest part. What happens with the system when card is connected as storage on the PC? Only fat32 partition is unmounted? More...I'm almost sure that the speed of sdcard is inferior to the speed of internal storage, so moving everything on the card will slow-down the phone. Installing conventional linux on sdcard/usbstick is not recommended: usual read-write cycles of the OS wear the sdcard/usbstick very fast.

So, imho, only the storage folder of android OS should be moved.

I still vote for a minimum modified ROM, that will allow any other modification with only "updates" and simple file replace/edit on the OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:
and another thought: "free RAM is useless RAM",

in other words: internal memory of the phone should not be as empty as possibly... (it's like you have a fast car in the garage but you use a slow and hungry cart to drive)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] stfn74:
GT-S5660M ?

Will this work on the Samsung GT-S5660M

This is apparently slightly different version that is sold in Canada by Bell and Virgin Mobile. This thread explains more about the differences
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
If I5660XXKQB works for your phone then this one will work as well.

My personal opinion is every model has its own firmware. For the best experience of your phone and the least bugs, you should use your own phone's firmware for your safety.

But I remember I5800 and I5801 being fully compatible with eachother. But this wasnt the case for I5000 and I5000L for example. Honestly I don't know it is you having that phone :D!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
All I can say is that it works here too :/ maybe you did something wrong.

I did not touch the equalizer. Haven't tested the music app though... All I can say is if you play music make sure the min frequency is set to 245mhz if you put it on 122mhz it will lag. This is on all Gio-roms...

Did you guys actually know the gio tweaks are actually not working? and everyone is claiming giopro runs better, probably in your minds :D I tested the giopro script tweaks. And they never complete executing because of syntax errors and so on :)

My ROM is clean of scripts, slight RAM tweaks, rooted, deodexed, busybox installed, zipaligned, universal CSC, app2sd preinstalled. That's all I can and know. I did not change anything else :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] memine:
The addition of 2.3.5 was greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] DarkShadow69:
Try wipping the cache and formating using CWM recovery. It works for me I was also having the same problem.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] memine:
I would agree that this release is smoother and with a much snappier screen responce. After a few simple changes and personalizing I bumped up to a 1940 from a 1820. (Live wallpaper and GO items might have been loaded at the time of the 1820 but i don't think so...too many tests and changes this week. But I'm trying ADW now with Darkedge and/or Sense Hd theme mix.)ergy sving

With System Tuner showing the free memory keeping at 100 +/-5 after little use and testing of Antutu. I used to need to kill all apps in GO to main than this with last release to get this with memory scripts added.

Security and final personalization to be added and I will test again, with a view toward reasonable compromise between function and form.

I would request the addition of two things I you could/would.

1. Extra power switch options such as Reboot, Reboot to Recovery and Reboot to Download. 1.a (Off/On as option for the above would be great as well, for testing or normal running mode.)

2. Swap on/off addition and file size selection.

The addition of 2.3.5 was greatly appreciated.

I waited and when I was about to give up it rebooted itself and came up. I rebooted to recovery and wiped the phone in CWM as well. It's been fine since.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] brkas:
Well, the mod does work really fine for me (3.1) but I have some small issues. Apps forget settings and so on. But this could be because I havent wiped the Phone before flashing from 2.3.

@djjonastybe You've made a great mod as far as I know, but, I woulde really appreciate it if you would actualize your entry post more often.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ramabg:
I will try to help. Previously I used Giopro v1.3. Then I do factory reset my phone through recovery mode. After that I flash my phone with CWM then I flash my phone with jonashendrickx_v3.1_xxks2.tar. After the flashing done, my phone is broken. It shows Android logo and triangle warning sign. Then I turn off the phone and restart It in recovery CWM mode. Then I do factory reset,wipe cache, and wipe davik cache then restart It. Voila ! My phone is working in Android 2.3.5
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] feenicks:
Just flashed v3.1 the other day, thanks so much for basing one on 2.3.5 so quickly! It's very fast, much snappier than previous versions. No more wake lag either! No noticeable lag anywhere.

I also had issues, it booted to the triangle exclamation mark screen and I thought I'd bricked my phone! :( But I just did what he said in the original post, wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and everything works fine.

Could you possibly do a walkthrough on how to make themes for this phone with UOT kitchen? I don't know what options to choose! Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] klebengan:
solved bro. thx
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] yonzz:
Excuse me, i want to ask something

It says

"1. Download this stock ROM first.

2. Flash with Odin and OPS file

3. Download my ROM

4. Flash my ROM with Odin

5. Boot into CWM Recovery: Home + Powerbutton (hold both)

6. Wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache"

So, if i want to flash v3.1 - GT-S5660XXKS2(2.3.5) Jonas Hendrickx's ROM, before that i have to flash your stock ROM KQ1 first and then KS2 v3.1? thanks in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Changed installation steps... :)

The ones you mentioned were for XXKQG
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] yonzz:
Okay, thanks :D

So, i can directly flash your 2.3.5 KS2. :)

It is one package, isn't it?

Okay then, I'll try it and see what is the difference between others ROM. :D

Thanks for the ROM that you've built :D

Sorry OOT, why u didn't join the CM7 development on Gio?

i think ur skills are capable to develop CM7 :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
I hate cyanogenmod! That's why :D! I think it'S just a hype ;)

Unless you see more packages than one, it is one package lol :D

I may be about to sell my Galaxy Gio. Unless I have donations equal to the price I could get from selling :D

I am about to buy a new computer for school and development. So I may need a more powerful one ;)

And with cyanogenmod coming up everyone will move to cyanogenmod eventually because everyone says it's better. :D

So I will be becoming useless with my simplicity :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] yonzz:
:D i don't know much about cyanogenmod, but i think it has many tweaks and customizeable. But i hate the battery life. lol :D

Yeah, my brother wants to go back to the stock ROM after seeing that CM7 is so power-hungry :)

No, it's not like that. I think there still much ppl that will use your ROM. Maybe they would try CM7, but someday they will come back again to stock ROM.

So, don't stop developing because you think everyone would use CM7 rather than your ROM :)

But, if u think u want to sell ur Gio, then it's up to you :) So sorry that i can't give u donation, because i dont have money inside my international account like paypal :(

But, i really appreciated your contribution that u've done the best for Galaxy Gio development. :)

---

note : ah, sorry about my broken English. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] feenicks:
I think you should continue developing - at least until the Gio Cyanogenmod has a working build (currently lots of things don't work, wifi bluetooth etc.).
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] rahulmaxi01:
does anyone having issue with wlan after installing "KS2".

cause i tried both 3.0 and 3.1 but my phone gets auto restarted after 2-3 min. i start wireless...

please give me some solution.

jonas your rom is great and working flawlessly, smooth and without any lags but only this wireless issue is irritating me.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ramabg:
I've got some problem with GPS. My Gio barely find the satellite. It only get 3 satellites at most with weak signal at the outside. I have tried Faster Fix and GPS Aids app but they did not help. Then I flash my Gio into Giopro v1.3, the problem solved. I can easily get 5-6 satellite in the car. Any ide why this happened ? I prefer to use your firmware because It has better performance but sometimes I need GPS for navigation. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
Ok I will continue development. But I really need the money though. I can stretch it little longer. But if I have to sell it. So donate if you can.

The Gio will always get a signal. You just have to wait. This GPS signal is slow in all android devices I have had. Just wait 10 minutes to get a lock-on or so

These softwares show you if you get a good signal and they are good navigation software as well:

CoPilot Live 9

Sygic 11

I believe CoPilot Live is the fastest of the two. Both have a lot of features to explore!

If you want a GPS Fix. Download FasterFix and select your region. Then click SAVE or GO or whatever it says ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] 1Jonathan1:
The first time it takes indeed 10minutes but the second time you get a 30se onds gps fix! Btw, can you add cf-root and bravia engine mobile? Also rom manager/script manager would be nice!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
I am doing my best to get it work. But it is hard. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Jonas: I didn't jump on the CyanoGio bandwagon either because it appears to me more like a botched kang mixing Galaxy Ace and Gio code with undocumented modifications and bugfixes.

Plus I hate the fact they're using Facebook as a project page.

I've been running CM on my Nexus for a few months now and it works fine for me on that device. Battery life hasn't been an issue.

I might eventually work on a CM7 port myself. But if/when I do, it'll be done through the official channels so that the Gio can become a properly supported device.

About the GPS being slow: do you guys know what almanac data is? Depending on how the GPS system is setup in the phone, it may well need approximately 12 minutes before getting complete almanac data and completing the remainder of its positioning process.

Jonas Hendrickx's ROM v3.1 [2.3.5] is corrupted..

i have downloaded this rom from a couple of sites but everytime i have opened it with win rar it says that the files are corrupted...

please give me some valid link to open and use the file...

Thanks in advance...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
You are supposed to flash this ROM with odin. Not to open the archive ...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
I suggest you Google it.

I always wondered why GPS devices are able to get a instant lock-on while these so called SMARTphones take hours to get a lock-on lol.

Anyway I wouldn't spend time on it if I were you. Don't forget smartphones are not meant to be used as a high-end GPS system ;) You pay 500€ for a GPS so a 150€ phone wouldn't beat that I guess ;)

Installation of Jonas Hendrickx's ROM v3.1 [2.3.5][XXKS2]

i have tried to install it with ODIN but when i choose the file by clicking CSC it says that wrong Binary file.

And when i select one package check box it didnt recognizes the file as it can only select the files with tar extension. well should i select the file by removing .7z extension...??

Please guide me to install this ROM...

i have installed GIO Pro... its pretty easy as it has all the files in one package... but i am lil bit confused while installing this one.... Please guide me through the valid process... thanks..

Where is the google gmail and search in this ROM(3.1)???
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
You can download it from multiupload. The archive was too big for code.google.com ;)

I may start working on a Froyo ROM as well for those who liked Froyo better. I may also release XXKPS 2.3.3 of my ROM So we have the latest version of each Android version.

Is this ok for everyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] B.RicH:
Hey djjonastybe, please give a visit on your thread about lagfix...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] rezapatel:
Hi - it seems like your ROM has matured over time, I'll try it out tomorrow, specially with A2SD working.

Wanted to request a minor addition, if it's already not there, which is to have init.d folder & scripts auto-run on startup?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djjonastybe:
v2.3 and later ;)

Don't forget All Gingerbread builds except XXKQ6 have the Wifi sleep bug ;) So turn of Wifi Sleep in settings ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] rezapatel:
I have no issues with the wifi sleep, I keep it always on.

So you are saying the v 3.1 does have init.d active? Excellent! One more reason to come to your rom.

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] flows-swe:
Hello!

Will try your ROM since I'm not happy with GioPros lag/unslimmed ROM.

Do you plan to fix the "full battery notification sound" as the Particle ROM seems to have fixed?
