Great -fantastic

just booted my GIO with cm7.2 rc1 b1

using dta2sd/gmail/gio stock keyboard and did no wipe at all(you got me afraid)

and it looks nice

- Reliablity ?

How do I know my ext partition (was I hope ext4) is not already corrupt?

how reliable is titaium backup for system (from cm7.1 rc3)

Oeps: re installed mounting everything precise (boot loop Cyanomod icon)

did factory reset see formatting ..... is this also the wipe ????

seems urgent to get CWM in order very doubtfulness base

now seem to be locked in ANDROID ....

After three boot attempts now doubt is complete

will go back to stock 2.3.6 without dutch language support ......

and give it another shot later

installation procedure assumed corrupt after 3 attempts

cm7.1 rc3 => Cm.7.2 early hoe-ray ====> dead ===> stock rom

-actualy astonished it still(continues using louncherProPlus)

and realy says it is 7.2 rc1 b1

No problems yet just worries,

Thanks in any case first trial of cm7.2

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

Oeps a2sd datasd ===> bootloop...... (cyanomod...)

so reinstall ???

3 restarts now bootlock android ......

going back to stockrom just a jumped in a bit to soon .......

as others BTa2sd is possibly killing

many doubts on factory reset

many doudbts on CWM -partitioning/formatting /recovering

actual meaning of wipe

(Factory reset seems to reformat and uses WIPE

in terminology .....)

this is to dangerous
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:
i use link2sd. it's enough for my needs.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Wmbruckner:
Thanks a lot phiexz.

This is so far the most stable cm I've had on my gio.

Also, backlight issue fixed, had that issue on stock rom already,

that alone would be worth it.

Also, I've installed ROM Manager and used it for backup, no problems so far.

I didn't do a recovery yet, though.

Is there something about Rom Manager that needs to be tested?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dreuzel:
BOld question Formatting

Formatting partitioning on a PC is out of the question.

Will drop CM*.* earlier....

Used particle CWM (Best without any critics before Tuched it )

Want to use ext4 How do I format ext4 (or verify it is formated ext4)

Question open since I tuched Non stock roms!!

multiple installs CM 7.1 and one CM 7.2 have randomly displayed a lot of

formats during all phases of the install procedure (this is unstructured and very dangerous).

Is there a way to know what we have at this time ????

o or has everything been corrupted by a bad CM CWM?????

If its only format I think one can format using DTa2SD ???!!!

is this not the best help/solution ????

if it's partitioning ....It's not worth continuing

Basic IT principle : never do anything on a CORRUPTED MEDIA

LOW LEVEL FORMAT OF the SD CARD is then urgently Required??

Please, thanks for all the work I realy respect that ; but not being able to answer the above question destroys the value of all what was done . (Let's hope I've got it completely wrong/otherwize please respect the work done, and fix the BASE Partition/Format)

Still fantastic work done

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

I've got some minimal cm7.2 rc1 b1 up (still want to see its force)

but setup has mixed English/dutch is this due to installation problem

or are we to early in the translation process?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:
not all texts that you see on the phone is from CM alone. Especially there is the launcher with it's own set of words. It may not be completely translated to your language (it happened to me with ADW and romanian language a few months ago).

More, each application has it's own dictionary (translated to dutch or not).
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] c20h25n3o:
What's the safest way to check if ROM Manager works? I downloaded the version they say works for Gio.

Now my biggest and most important question, how safe is it with anything other than stock ROM? I'm sure it works fine with stock, but what about CM7.

How is that on other phones with CM7.2 rc1?

I'm willing to take the risk!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] haroldje:
ok, just decided to update to cm7.2 rc1 b1, not changed a thing, no wipe, just cmw2 to be sure and then the update , link2sd took a little while to wake up and find the apps again, but works like a charm, and no problems, all apps working :)

Thank you :)

Correction: Market works, browser works, but Gmail i get FC, so rebooted to see if that helps, failed, reinstalled gapps and now works :)

Bug- functionality change Email(Included Email apk):

I've 2 email addresses I want to keep updated in my phone.

I'm correctly connecting with Exchange server .

My first entered email has normal update functionality all is working correctly

My second Email address (on same server but other user name

Does NOT have the input box (existing) synced (workt on stock rom 2.3.5 at least

The second Email account (Exchange is missing 4 important syn cable folders) not related to master send account (used to be multiple(stock) now only 1 of both)

Input BOX vital

it is not an exchange problem since dependent only on the order of

the entered Email Accounts. Deleting and resetting accounts creates problems as well(second account) No backup restore used(would trouble the problem!)

Accounts are both inputted manually standard Account (exchange) manual data entry.

I consider this a bug, or i'm missing a place where I can update the folders

to be used seen in CM7.1 RC3 /CMt.2 RC1 B1 others not tested

Was not the case using stock rom nor Particle ROM!!!!

Not being able to sync EMAIL reliably is considered serious as bug.

no need to mount anything, just install zip and it works like a charm.

I didn't even have to do a factory reset. All apps working, you just have to reinstall google apps afterwards if you want them.

thx next time try
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dreuzel:
Definition term "wipe" is ambiguous

a2sd instructions not working

error messages a2sd correct size ext partition given (not formatting error)

wipe status (formats) every previous ext4/ext3 setting (no use doing it on windows)

partition indicated as linux (ext3/4 marker lost)

the partition seems to be mounted by the boot process

all a2sd commands fail due to fscs fails

partition /corruption state doubtful so all reports on application errors unreliable

abandoned a2sd

Multiple error statements(syntax) in factory reset log

CWM reliability in doubt.

CM7.2 can only be used in materialistic system very few apk, unstable as more applications are set

instability as titanium system restore parts(backup of same system) are restored.

as titanium NON SYSTEM backup is used to restore applications system goes into bootloop(system problem) from application level.

installation process behaves differently on different runs (instability)

it seems being able to start is a matter of luck, or dependent on non/imprecision described actions.

Titanium backup considered unusable on this os

You are kidding, right... :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Wmbruckner:
What version of CWM are you using?

ROm Manager installed CWM 4.0.1.5 for Gio on my phone.

I did not have any problems with the multiple apps on my phone since upgrade to RC1

Cannot confirm that, Titanium restores user apps without problems
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] shuegig:
Yeah. Finally rom manager is usable?omg, lol

Sent from the GUN in my pants:)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dreuzel:
I have multiple problems:

A) CWM and all related formatting /wiping problems tdA2sd /ext4

can not handle anything gets unstable very rapidly

Formatting and wiping every time some different base

version 5.0.26 or so version number same as particle

but updated to px-CWM-v2 Zip

Are you using an older version ?

(as far as I know there is no newer.)

Due to version number not changed differentiating is impossible

B) CM7.2 Titanuim backup very unstable

system 7.2 rc1 <==> 7.2 rc1

data 7.1rc3 <==> 7.2 rc1 (System is somehow corrupted

all tasks get aborted including non updated tasks

only way to get something on the system is a complete re install

one by one (never had such a problem before....

Noticed something like different DUID I'm restoring application per appliction to detect the problem (batches always fail consistently (7.2.rc1 typical)

Problem consistent after 3 full install retries (not counting frequent bootloops Android and cyanomod) at least 3 times per reinstall

C) CMT 7.2 behavior different on every try

I skipped last versions 7.1... 7.2(earlier version) was forced to do factory reset as wipe

lost my ext4 that way

Should I use Rom manger? I was always afraid of that read bad reports

I'm I doing something wrong?

in last try i got S2E running but Titanium problem keeps on bugging me

can not restore anything....
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dreuzel:
My procedure: please give critics if I'm wrong.

(copied all soft on mobile)

boot CWM v5.0.2.6 (version never changed px_CWM v1.zip/px-CWM-v2.zip

A) factory rest wipe all user data (was in bootloop anyhow)

B) due to different reported version here above

reflash px-cwm-v2.zip .... flashing one

C) reboot to ensure correct CWM Confirm version number still

px-CWM v2.zip === V5.0.2.6 (like the particle one)

request: Please correct CWM to be able to differentiate.

D) factory reset:

flash CM7.2 RC1 B1.zip

Formatting /data /cashe/sd-ext ..... Data Wipe Complete

install zip from Card update CM7.2 RC1 B1.zip

till Install from sdcard Complete

E) mount sytem /data to unmount on display

install from zip original SGA keyboard ....ZIP from this forum miguelQ

(need original keyboard thick fingers.

success never had a problem with them.

possibly did this twice due to reporting confusion

F) verify mount

all except sd-ext are displaying unmount/....

G) Flash 121111_gio_googleapps.zip this forum

[*]finished ..... complete

H)verify mount

system ====> to the unmount display rest unmounted

I) Install DT-apps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04.zip

now I have a bootable system??!!! but initialized

Take a long time to reboot

Full mannual install but only sure after a reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Wmbruckner:
There seems to be nothing wrong with the installation procedure as far as I can see.

I would think the problem is with a2sd / s2e. I use neither of them because I've not found them to be very reliable up to now. Will give it a shot for testing purpose now.

Question: Why are you using a2sd and s2e at the same time? Maybe that might pose diffculties, too.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dreuzel:
After installing some 20 apps back the same thing

Before reboot all is OK....

except eventual the samsung ---android ---- samsung behavioir

after reboot ALL applications +++ are aborting killing them faster then

one can ever see or do anything .......

ex : the launcher, process.com.android....

seems completely wasted i see no way to recover from this

except doing the whole process over again .... but after a day and a half

permanently retrying I do not like this any more .....

urgently thinking about regressing not to come to CM ever again....

cm7.2 is== seems far from ready

You see why I blame CWM??? something seems very wrong there

it fills the sdcard somehow and all dies no explaining

Am I alone in this?

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

Maybe I'm wrong about a2sd /s2e but

in all documentation I see them used like that....

that is the only way i get enough memory for my applications

s2E fails on its own never gets booted on manual boot nothing happens

a2sd after the many boots it hangs itself up if setup completed

s2e kicks in as soon as I zipaling and cachesdreset not before .

in a system with a 1000 parameters anything can cause anything of coarse

But why to bl aim a2sd ( it is supposed to be a simple link...

it can accordingly to me oly fail if CWM format/wipe/.....failed its job

as far as s2e i do not know exactly

this way i use about 10 meg statically the rest is dynamic

otherwise I'm dead immediately out of memory ......

previously as soon as I got a2sd/ext4 working (only effective when both included in the ROM) all worked perfectly ...... therefore more C7.2 and CWM (other complains as well ...) is blamed

All info welcome
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] haroldje:
almost followed the same steps but i did NOT do

And i use link2sd since all i did read about the a2sd and s2e problems, all installed apps still here and working
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Wmbruckner:
Just trying out a2sd on my cm7.2 rc1 b1 now.

(I usually put my phone into flight mode before installing, to avoid entering pin again and again)

1. Backup

2. Reboot to recovery

3. format sd-ext

4. Install a2sd

5. reboot (quite qick)

6. Most of thapps are missing (green android logo instead)

7. reboot (much slower)

8. correction: only the icons on the homescrenns don't function anymore, the apps are there, widgets working too

9. after about 5 min, all icons back to normal

10. executed a2sd zipalign

11. no error message (for the first time with a2sd and cm 7.x)

12. installing a2sdgui from market

13. unexpected launcher restart (adw)

14. a2sdgui can not be installed, launcher keeps restarting from cm logo

15. typed a2sd cachesdreset, it ran and rebooted the phone

16. long wait on "Android" screen

17. still waiting

18. seems to be stuck on android text, will report later

19. now restoring backup, so long a2sd
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dreuzel:
yea.... this is the expansion of the factory reset.....

i'm forced to otherwise bootloops all over

now I can't do anything else then do another factory reset ...

but that is incompatible with the actions of a2sd and possibly s2E

so i'm forced to start all over

using link2sd is only possible to gain few meg in memory I can not

it means CM is not capable of boosting performance or its the biggest

tension on the gio .... its memory ......

on the other hand in linux a link is a simple thing it is the esssence of the memory extension, its only complexity lies in

providing and taking away (remove the sd card :will never work anyway, and the factory reset is as bad as removing the SD)

what is the goal of CM then speed killed by blocking memory ....

I really use 10mb memory + dynamic usage , the rest is on SD ....

this is the only possible edge of android over apple....

I used the particle rom and there it works untill they took out rom support..... with particle being nearer to

a stock rom... I'm nearer to the evolution of the numbers ....

cm7.2 -adw is only a handset of gadgets ......

i do not use adw anyway ....

Take it as a measurement for the adulthood of CM7
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Wmbruckner:
After restoring backup everything is fine again.

Working like a charm.

So I guess I'll just stick with it and forget about a2sd for the time being.

Sometime later I will check the sd-ext partition on pc to see if cwm messed it up again.

BTW, ROM manager installed it's own cwm, amd it had version 4.0.1.5.

Restoring worked flawlessly, so I guess ROM manager is ok for the gio, finally.

Will be trying link2sd and s2e (seperately) in the next days and report back.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] sir_wesley:
Titanium backup work flawesly so why U dont back up all, THAN FULL WIPE with all caches what U can find in CWM (that what I did) than install ZIP CM7.2 RC1 and titan backup and U R done.

It took 20 minutes of my time and ALL work like charm S2E with 1GB ext4 filled with 500MB and kompas radio wifi music BS player that what I tried and many more and still working AWESOME!!!!

If this wouldn't work for Ur GIO throw it to trash and buy new one ... :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:
the cwm version that was installed by ROM manager knows how to format external and internal partitions to ext4??!

I will stick with px-CWM-v2.zip until further notice from phiexz ;)

while listen for some music on headset, receiving some calls and some menu browsing, I see that phone get warm, and battery drained fast.... there was no obvious application to intensively use the CPU...

installed SetCpu and noticed that CPU frequency was all the time at maximum value (806Mhz), even if the cpu governor was "ondemand". Strange... closed all running processes, and freq still stayed at max.

I then set governor to "conservative" (and set SetCpu to apply settings at startup); reboot.

Now seems ok. I will test more.

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

not good...

even the SetCpu was configured to apply settings at boot, and CM settings were not, I see "conservative" governor on SetCpu main tab, but the behavior is of "ondemand" - the same with the "advanced" tab.

It seems that CM overwrites from time to time the governor with the default one...

Now I will try to use only CM settings to play with governor and frequencies, and SetCpu to see in real-time the "time in state".

Som rád že tu vidím niekoho zo slovenska :)

Is there a difference (performance, stability, bugs, features) between CyanogenMod 7.1 (RC 3.0) and 7.2 RC-1 b1? What are the benefits of upgrading to this release? I have not seen any official cyanogenmod 7.2 source (7.1 should be the latest release) and the developers are focusing on Cyanogenmod 9. The KANG build is from 7.1 source with some patches or what - why is it named 7.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] shiftyHungary:
well for me it's more stable, mainly at overclocking, but it's smoother anyways.

with cm7.1.0 and stable oc at 864Mhz, i got about ~ 1700 pts at quadrant

~ cm7.2.0 and stable oc at same freq got bout ~ 1850pts+

~ cm7.2.0 and STABLE oc at 902 Mhz got ~ 2100pts.

all of them are with non-modified kernel

I think this tells everything about performance.

One more reason besides 7.2.0 is that it's still in development stage, while 7.1.0 is considered to be the final version of it's case.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] phiexz:
aru u using a2sd & s2e together in one time???

dont use them together

particle rom nearly stock rom because it based on samsung's firmware. and cyanogen is not based on samsung. it based on aosp & community

yup. until now the latest cwm is px-cwm2 based on cwm 5.0.2.6

it look like same with particle's one. but it different on default extension. on particle u;ll get RFS after wipe. but on mine u'll got ext4. simce i dont include RFS module on kernel, u must use ext4 instead of rfs.

yup, until now cwm is a little buggie on formating sd-ext. i'm still research on it

for intensive cpu. are using live wallpaper? or DSP manager?

ondemand isn't best governor for scalling. if u want to make better at scalling try interactiveX or smartassv2
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:
I've deleted live wallpaper apks from system/apk and dsp manager right after installing CM7.2. Scenario was this:

-no app running in background, plug the headset,

-start music player, listen for some melodies,

-receive a call, remove headset, and talk

-close the call, and resume the music player;

-after some time I look at the phone: is warm, and CPU is at maximum freq.

for the resetting to default ondemand governor I think it was my mistake (will test tomorrow)
