Hello Dark,

I think there's something wrong with your roms. I just flashed back to stock with your stocked rom. After flash with odin with SIM inside, there's fine. But after that, I did a factory reset without SIM, it relocked :(. I think it's same issue with your ApergioMod.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] memine:
I assume this was in reply to my post...

I'll see if I can get this started. They live in a different city but it shouldn't take to long to get. Just hope they haven't tried it or wrapped it yet!

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

Once updating the stock ROM of yours to replace the lock issue I've never had a problem since. Unfortunately I've been testing and working with the CM7 and can't comment on your new release. But in the past this was EXACTLY my issue as you pointed out.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Something wrong maybe, but not that, I'm confident. Read some of my earlier posts about relocking, and you'll see that the stock Bell ROM does this due to its CSC files. You can flash ArpegGioMod 0.8 and above all you want, one the phone is unlocked it will remain so. Reflash stock without a SIM in and it will relock for sure.

I'd like if some ArpegGioMod users were willing to setup the following configurations for some tests:

system 0.8, the a2sd scripts and boot 0.8.1.1

system 0.8 and boot 0.8, no a2sd

I'm specifically interested in:

Wifi reliability, are you able to connect? All the time? Sometimes?

What happens if you update su and Superuser (either through Android Market, flashing the zip or using SuperOneClick, so long as you specify which one you use) and try various programs requiring root.

Thanks,

Darkshado
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] jdrom:
Well I'm running "system 0.8 and boot 0.8, no a2sd", WiFi works perfectly fine, never had any issues there. As for superuser - Market shows no updates (everything is set to auto update), and I updated the binary from within the superuser app. Phone restarted after I did that. EFS Explorer works fine (with root enabled). Nothing else on the phone currently to test though, and it seems installing apps has become quite a challenge with the lack of space.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Thanks for the info. Would you please try doing some file operations with ES File Explorer, or perhaps install Adfree?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] mobilis2009:
All | OK

I confirm what jdrom said everything is perfect, I recommend for those don't have apps2sd to use for free "link2sd" from market its working flawlessly all what you need is root and second partition in your sd card.

Enjoy :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] koodiifin:
Im using system 0.8 and boot 0.8 with no a2sd. CWM recovery installed. I have had no problems with WiFi, 3g, or root access using titanium backup, root explorer, and Usb debugging root access. Recovery access works perfectly. The only issue I've had is the Samsung launcher force closes occasionally on startup/reboot. The phone seems overall pretty low performance, simply playing angry birds is pretty laggy. Multi tasking slows the phone down quite a bit. Does anybody have experience with Froyo on the Gio? Any faster? Anyways that's my experience with your Rom. Let me know if u have any specific questions. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] cool bean:
thank you for this 0.8version rom. It is working beautifully in my canadian gio. Now, I want to save a copy of this rom with all my apps and cusgomization. Do I just use odjn to flash cwn over it (to use nandroid backup)? Will I lose this 0.8version rom after I flash cwn over it?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
You can flash CWM no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] kompressorgpl:
Hello! So the GPS work fine with this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] cool bean:
will the canadian s5660m ever have cm7? That'd be a treat!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] chairsz:
hey im currently running cm7.1 rc3.0 with my bell gio unlocked and rooted. been using it for the last few weeks and theres some hiccups here and there but overall its definately a step or 4 up from stock and to me its better for what i need it to do than arpegio mod.

my system internal memory is 187mb right as im typing this... near impossible...as user memory is i think 178...

:D:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] koodiifin:
That's pretty cool. When I flashed cm 7 it worked for a day then I lost network connectivity. Did you flash with Odin and skip the phone package? Or is the cm 7 that's available only in CWM flashable? I'm pretty sure I simply flashed it via CWM with no way of skipping the phone package. Would this work?

PS. I have the bell gio as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Bastiat:
For some reason GPS won't work... Not sure if it's an issue with the ROM or the phone itself though..
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Bastiat: with ArpegGioMod, or CM7?

I'd like if discussions could be kept on topic in this thread. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] chairsz:
you can only flash it through clockwork mod because its a zip file and not a tar file, (odin only flashes tars..) what rom are you flashing from? arpegio? or a stock rooted? its been mentioned in the gio cm7 page that flashing to cm7 from anything other from cm lower or stock rom could give you problems

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1337178
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] cool bean:
So, right now I have the arpegGioMod rom. I need to flash to stock before flashing any of the CM7 rom? I should be using CWM mod for flashing the CM7 rom? Also, one I flashed to stock, will I loose the CWM mod?

Thanks a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Bastiat:
Alright I don't know if it's just my phone or what but GPS really won't work. I ran GPS Status with both ArpegGioMod 0.8 and the rooted stock MUGK3 coutless times and the phone can't get a GPS fix... Won't even get a single sattelite.....
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] chairsz:
flashing to cm7 from stock isnt mandatory, strictly your choice. if you do though you may lose clock work mod but its as simple as putting phone in recovery mode and selecting install zip file and reboot

heres another page of another user who made a slightly modified cm7 mod for flashing gios to cm7 even more simpler than the current way.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] cool bean:
Thank you chairsz,

It sounds like our canadian S5660M can just follow the instructions to install CM7 rom just like the S5600?

Why did I have the impression from the beginning that our canadian S5660M gio is different and may brick if we simply install the roms made for S5660? What do I need to watch out for?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] chairsz:
no prob homey

keep in mind im a noob myself and all the info i learned is through searching the forums.

in regards to bricking, messing up corrupting, etc our s5660 custom roms, alot of dev mentioned certain modem files when flashed through odin causes probs.

and because the cyanogen dev ported the current release of it for all gios is my theory. (somewhat because because of how you flash the rom.)

i tried roms like giopro, particle rom and others and while they were near perfect, one problem always was the common factor between those for me, and thats the wifi connection always giving an error after the first few minutes after flashing.

at the end of the day my take on it is the files you flash and the method you flash will determine the end result. the fewer steps tend to be the safest.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] saffant:
Hey.

I'm currently on stock atm rooted and unlocked (can't remember which method I used) and well things are fine and all except just one (big) issue: the Wifi keeps giving errors and the phone has to be restarted in order for it to work.

Anyways, I was wondering if there is a stable, reliable rom that perhaps fixes this issue ... maybe even a ROM that has other issues besides this instead would be suitable (GPS issues are fine).

Also, in order to update... I'd like to create a nandroid backup using CWM first tho - something I can't do atm because well... I dont have CWM on the phone it seems.. so if someone could help me with that, I'd appreciate it greatly.

Thanks for any help.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] deadlyrhythm:
You should try cyanogenMod for the gio instead. It's way faster and is a higher gb version than this one. I actually upgraded from this rom to cyanogen and it was a very noticeable change. Best thing for you would be to get titanium backup pro. It can do basically the same thing as a nandroid backup just its different. I had the exact same issue, not having cwm on my phone and did this instead which worked like a charm. It backs up all your apps, app data and system data too. Then you flash your phone in recovery, through on cyanogenMod, install titanium back backup pro, then restore.

Link to the cyanogenMod I used :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409932

follow the directions there exactly and you will love you phone.

After you get that going you should try out the custom scripts that improve screen reaction/sensitivity and performance/battery life here :

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] cool bean:
Which CWM recovery do you use? I have the one here in the first post. The first link you gave recommended another CWM by phiez. Can I just use my old one here or do I have to change to the one by phiez?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] mobilis2009:
Darkshado please keep it alive

Darkshado :confused: Any update with the improvement expected, your ROM is the only one working without any issue in my S5660M.

Many thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] melvie:
Anyone has a mirror for this ROM? Multiupload is not accessible (here?).

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Thanks for bringing the hosting issue to my attention Melvie. I'm looking into right now.

I see you're in the Netherlands, be aware that ArpegGioMod is not guaranteed to work properly on the European 5660.

Mobilis: I'll give Arpegiomod some more attention, but at this point I'm more interested in making CM9 work properly. (Which I haven't attempted yet.)

My first problem is that building ICS takes many hours, and I can't really do anything else with the computer during that time.

My second problem is that the computer I use to flash with Odin is 670 kilometers away from me, and I won't get back to it until sometime in April.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Peteragent5:
I would love to see this! :)

+1
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Oh yeah, third problem: there's no reliable wi-fi where I'm currently located, so that testing will depend on you, dear end users.

I'm tarring ArpegGio 0.8's /system/ to attempt running it under ext4 with Phiexz's kernel (modded for the 5660M by Peteragent5).

It turns out that I'll be working tomorrow morning, so that's the most I expect to try out tonight. (My job depends a lot on weather. It's been pretty bad lately so I've had some free time to play with Android.)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Those with a stock ROM who wish to convert it from RFS to ext4 can do so with the following steps:

-Boot into recovery

-Mount both /system and /sdcard

-adb shell# tar -czvf /sdcard/somefilename.tar.gz system

-Flash an ext4 converter through recovery

-adb shell# tar -xzvf /sdcard/somefilename.tar.gz system

-Flash an appropriate, ext4 compatible kernel

-Reboot

Benchmarks done...

I'm not sure how the score is weighed in Quadrant, but it sure likes ext4 over RFS! So does RSQLite, with a better score as well. The only thing I haven't tried tonight was to reodex the ext4 ROM, that'll have to wait for another day.

Quadrant (higher is better):

ext4 partitions + Phiexz kernel + deodexed: 1466

RFS partitions + Phiexz kernel + deodexed: 1064

RFS partitions + stock kernel + deodexed: 1096

RFS partitions + stock kernel + odexed: 1081

RSQLite (lower is better):

ext4 partitions + Phiexz kernel + deodexed: 62.946 s

RFS partitions + Phiexz kernel + deodexed: 64.348 s

RFS partitions + stock kernel + deodexed: 65.937 s

RFS partitions + stock kernel + odexed: 63.778 s
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Peteragent5:
Lol why do I feel so honored when you mention my name? LOL :D

Oh but whenever it's sunny don't you play outside? :) lol
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
I like to give credit when appropriate that's all. :)

Temperatures have also been hovering at about -20~-25°C with a wind chill factor of -30 (even down to -39 once) for a few days. So I'm not in a huge rush to go play outside.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Peteragent5:
ext4 partitions + Phiexz kernel + deodexed

Is obviously better :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
I wouldn't jump to conclusions too quickly. Even though I expect the Quadrant score to be lower, from the little bit of reading I've been doing on this topic, an odexed ROM should be faster in real-life use.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Peteragent5:
Oh I just remembered! For my modded kernel, BLN need to patch services.jar! Just to let you know. :)

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

For ICS have you seen this guide? http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/compile-ics
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] koodiifin:
To apply the BLN patch you must use a deodexed ROM right?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Peteragent5:
Yeah you need deodexed Rom
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] mobilis2009:
Great news

Arpegiomod is nice :) but if you will offer ICS fully working for noobs it will be better :D

Many thanks.........
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
I've uploaded a 0.9 alpha build.

Why alpha?

Mostly because I haven't been able to reodex the ROM yet. Besides it's getting late here. All I can tell you at this point is that it boots.

Thanks to Hyriand for the updater script.

Currently the updater script assumes ext4 partitions. If you want to remain on RFS you can, but the script must be modified for it to work properly.

(Anyone know if I could simplify that part of the process?)

Convert your partitions with the included zip by flashing it in an ext4-compatible CWM.

Install ROM in CWM.

Done.

ext4 converter

ArpegGioMod 0.9 alpha 1

Goodbye,

Darkshado
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Peteragent5:
Awesome! Been a long time lol

Maybe I can help? Could you upload the updater script somewhere cause I currently can't download another Rom(Drive almost full) :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] turner2914:
Id be happy to test out your 0.9 alpha 1 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] koodiifin:
Hi Darkshado,

Just installed and tested your ROM, nice work. First I flashed it from CM7.2 with Pheixz's CWM and I had some kernel related problems like (No Wifi, BT).

So I flashed Peteragent5's modified CWM and kernel. With the new kernel and CWM everything works great again. Maybe you can include the kernel in your package like Phexz has done with his CM? I haven't found any bugs yet, everything listed in v0.8 is working. I tried to get s2e working but I couldn't get the app to recognize my SD-ext (ext4) partition. Maybe it needs a script to work? Is DT apps2sd in your plans for v0.9? Great work! I will keep testing and post any bugs.

Testing features from v0.8

Rooted

Deodexed apps and framework. (still deodexed)

Working FM radio (remember, your headphones are the antenna!) works

No power on sound. works

Restored support for the normal Android bootanimation.zip format. Right now it's just running the "base" animation (with the green Android text). I'm open to suggestions/logos/proposals! works

CRT screen off animation re-enabled, you do need to turn back animations on in the settings to see it. works

ADW Launcher (I just used the "standalone" version and placed it in /system/app/, not the cleanest way, but it works, and leaves you the choice between that and Touchwiz Launcher) works

Removed all Bell software, as well as some Samsung apps. works
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] koodiifin:
It looks like the kernel will only work properly if you flash your zip first from modded CWM then flash the modded kernel. Wifi doesnt work when simply flashing your zip.

Bugs I've found:

-I've had three full lockups where I needed to pull the battery. I'm still not sure what has caused them. I will keep testing. (I just tested GioPro v1.4 with Peteragent5's modded kernel and got the same lockup on first boot, so I pulled battery and it's been working since. So maybe it has something to do with the kernel...)

-Peteragent5's kernel needs to be flashed after the update package for everything to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] koodiifin:
Darkshado,

I uploaded your original 7zip copy of ApregGioMod Rom v0.8 to Mediafire. Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?nxp0ce21909c676

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Peteragent5:
Actually even if you update Superuser and su it wont harm your phone. Of course it'll shut down your phone but thats cause it placed a new file in the system, so you either way you have to restart sometime. Your phone will boot up again :) No problems
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
New superuser does not force a reboot after updating
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] koodiifin:
My lockups occurred on boot, and randomly while using the phone. I haven't updated the Superuser app or su binary. Have you tested v0.9 of this rom? If you install just the zip after using the ext4formatter with a fresh phone the kernel doesn't work properly (wifi doesn't work). So then you have to flash your kernel and wifi works again, but I've been getting lockups... So I'm not sure what's happening.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
The su binary has been updated very recently from 3.0.3 to 3.0.3.2, and I've tried it on my Gio, no problems with this one :)

Hehe Lol :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] mobilis2009:
CWM

Thank you Darkshado for the new release but I prefer to wait the stable release to move from 0.8 (noobs is there :D).

By the way do you experienced with the recommended CWM 5.0.2.8 on S5660M the bug I had, In the last step of backup I had an error when trying to generate the md5 sum (error while generating md5 sum!)

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] koodiifin:
Do you mean CWM 5.0.2.7? Because Pheixz temporarily released 5.0.2.8 for a few minutes, but took it down because it had bugs. CWM 5.0.2.7 is the latest stable, both Peteragent5's and Pheixz's (ext+rfs) work great on my Gio s5660M.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] mobilis2009:
True koodiifin I mean CMW 5.0.2.7 !

did someone tested it with ArpegGioMod ROM v 0.8 may be it miss something necessary to execute the md5 sum.

koodiifin could you let me know witch ROM are you using?

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] koodiifin:
I'm using CM7.2 by Pheixz and CWM makes backups fine for me. I haven't tested Peteragent5's or Pheixz's CWM 5.0.2.7 with ApregGioMod yet. When I was using ApregGioMod and Particle Android I was using the CWM made by Hyriand which actually skipped backing up the SD-ext and it always worked for me. Try it out. Here's link: http://cdn.thegraveyard.org/particle/gt-s5660/gt-s5660-cwm-recovery-20111007-1-signed.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] mobilis2009:
Cache now Grrrrrrrrrrrrr....

Thank you for sharing your experience but definitively I'm not lucky at all I downloaded and tried this version , I can mount (System, data, sdcard and also!!!! sd-ext) but cannot mount cache partition even wiping cache ?

error messages:

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

At this step no way to know if md5 sum is working.

If there is no idea about this I will continue googling may be one day…
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] koodiifin:
Darkshado,

Pheixz's kernel has different wifi drivers like you said and they work on our phone, but I've noticed that when the screen goes to sleep my wifi disconnects and when I wake it up there's a little delay before it comes back on and overrides the 3g. I'm wondering if this is a feature that Hyriand added or a bug. In our stock kernel the wifi always stays on.

The reason I bring this up is because I like to use my wifi connection for receiving new sync data and notifications, rather then the 3g that I pay for by the amount I use.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Go to "Settings", "Wireless and network settings", "Wi-Fi settings", press menu, "Advanced", then change "Wi-Fi sleep policy" from "When screen turns off" to "Never".

I'm not sure if the default is changed by Phiexz's kernel, or if the behavior is now implemented correctly by the new drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] cool bean:
I'm using the latest Cm7.2 by Phiexz as well. I find that the wifi takes a long time to connect. Eventually it will...

Any ideas?

Darkshado, thanks for everything you have done for our canadian Gio!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] koodiifin:
I just tested Nandroid backup using Peteragent5's modified CWM 5.0.2.7 with ArpegGioMod 0.8 and it isn't generating an Md5 sum for me. It says "error while generating md5 sum!". I had no problems doing backups when I was using an Ext4 based system, so it seems it has issues with RFS systems. I'm going to try Hyriands older CWM and see what happens.

Darkshado, any insight on this? Thanks.

Edit: just tested CWM 5.0.2.6 by Hyriand (link on post #1 of this thread) and Nandroid backup and restore works perfect for me
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Sorry guys, but the backups I've done so far on the Gio were either back when I was on RFS with Hyriand's original CWM, or made manually with DD.

I do have some interesting news though. I've managed to re-odex the ROM. I'm uploading both 0.9 and a separate re-odex zip right now. Will run benchmarks as well and add those to the others I've uploaded.

Goodbye,

Darkshado
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] koodiifin:
Nice I look forward to testing it, thanks. Will this new upload be the beta version of 0.9 then?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] SpaceCaker:
if the cwm file works may i use it to base my beta 2 of sgs II rom?

Sent from sense3.0 on gio
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Sure, do note that the reodex zip assumes that you already have dexopt-wrapper, zip and zipalign working on your ROM.

Koodifin: it's just 0.9. No beta or anything. I'm not going to rapidly increase my version numbers like some other software projects (*cough* Firefox *cough*) but this is pretty close to what I had in mind for a customized stock ROM.

I started this project last September because I wanted to get rid of the bloatware included in the stock ROM, as well as add a few features I was used to from CM7 on the Nexus S. I also considered this a stopgap measure before CM7 or an AOSP ROM became available on our phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] mobilis2009:
Thank you Guys I'll try this ROM update probably next weekend, may be this will fix by the way my CWM backup problems :D

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Peteragent5:
OMG This ROM is really fast and stable!! So far no bugs and issues! You did a Great job Darkshado! This is preferably my everyday ROM over MIUI... :D THANKS!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Thanks.

I'd say the main difference is that my script uses its included binaries to do the formatting, while Phiexz's uses the capabilities built in recent CWM builds of itself.

My script worked with Hyriand's original CWM (it even mounted the ext4 partitions no questions asked). But at the time I tested this no one had built an ext4 compatible kernel yet, so it sat unused for a while. Until I found Phiexz's stock ROM kernel the other day.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Peteragent5:
Wow did you go into extra time to add reboot, recovery, download to the power menu? Cool.. :) Much appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] turner2914:
