[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LPCA:
some critical issues:

* the phone is crashing / turning off / rebooting frequently;

* some times while using the phone.apk, others while receiving sms with stock app or handcent, or when changing WiFi status; often for no reason at all;

* a lot of times, when the device is rebooted or turned off then turned on, or turned on after crashing, the dalvik caches are killed, and then it needed to rebuild them...;

all in all, this release is very UNSTABLE on my phone, maybe a little more than previous 4.1 and 4.0 versions.

CM 7.2 was stable almost all the time and only had a critical glitch where it would reboot ocasionally when switching on / off WiFi.

What could be causing these issues?

i have this setup:

- GT-5660, Vodafone Portugal model (should be the same for any european model)

- TWRP (previously ClockWorkMod, no stability changes)

- your CM 10.1 (Android 4.2.2), 20130401-NIGHTLY-gio

- kernel 2.6.35.14-perf+ (supplied i think with your CM) with default kernel parameters

- sdext with 2GB allocated, being used for apps, dalvik cache and cache (but not data, can't assign), setup with Mounts2SD

S2E wasn't compatible; tried with a custom version and the phone wasn't stable either.

Link2SD didn't suffice my requirements, and has same stability issues.

The phone was a bit more stable without sdext, but not that stable either... i need the sdext partition; the social apps and google's platform takes too much space.

* Mounts2SD additionally complaints that the distro does not have proper init.d support and a complete busybox install.

* after Mounts2SD installation, the File Manager supplied and some other file managers like Antek fail to explore root partitions.

* Busybox app also alerts for improper busybox installation.

* Freespace does not report space correctly for many partitions, and fails for sdext

* Not always the system detects the proper free space

* Titanium Backup stales often when backing up or restoring backups; often then crashes the system

can you fix these issues? maybe the system will be more stable.

thanks!
