[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] emyaz:
okay i will try to explain it step by step

1. download the update.zip file from the thread you have found

2. copy the file to your sdcard

3. shut down your phone

4. hold the power button (button on the right side of the phone) and the menu button (big button in the middle) until the recovery starts

5. in recovery you can navigate with the volume buttons. go to "update from sdcard" and click the home button. wait a little bit.

6. now download this file http://www.mediafire.com/?p49i4d2tpuvome5 and copy it to your SD card. rename it to "update.zip". you can delete the old "update.zip" file from the first step

7. repeat point 3, 4 and 5

okay now you have flashed the cwm recovery.

8. download this file http://www.mediafire.com/?8p6s9mlpqwowq51 and copy it on you SD card.

9. shut down your phone and open the recovery (hold power and home button)

10. navigate with the volume buttons to "install zip" and click the home button.

11. choose "from sdcard" (or something like that) and choose the ext4-formatter file.

12. okay now you can download a custom rom. there are many roms in the development section.

13. copy the file to your SD card

14. open the recovery (i think now you know how to)

15. choose "install zip" -> "from SD card" and then the rom file

16. it takes a little bit time to flash ("install") the rom.

17. after its finished choose in the recovery "wipe data"

18. restart your phone. now wait a little bit because the first boot takes a bit time

okay if all works you have now a custom rom on your phone :D

i am not responsible to any damage on your phone. do it on your own risk... :) but if you do it right there no is risk.

Sorry for my bad englisch :)

[General Questions and Answers] Lemonada8:
Hey! first off gotta say i love this forum, havent been back lately cuz i went over to iphone after my EVO, but still great place! aaaanyways, have a few questions which id love to get yalls thoughts on.. ill put #'s by them so its easier to answer! thanks!!

1) Im sick of verizon raping me with sandpaper condum with prices of service and whatnot, with my iphone 4. So im switching to StraightTalk. But with that, im goin to GSM towers. So with lookin for unlocked GSM phone to use, I am stuck between what to get. What im lookin for is:

A) good camera (13mp+, hate to drop down to 8mp), with a physical camera button (i know i can have app change it to the volume, but rather that be a last resort if needed)

B) Removable SD card (easier to get pics from it)

C) ability to use the 4G frequencies (700 for AT&T, 1700/2100 for TMobile) and the 3G frequencies also (850, 1900) ** or whatever the 'fast internet' frequencys are that are used... the straighttalk site says it uses the 4g from Tmobile..

D) the ability to root it so i can get free tethering thru the connection (wifi/bluetooth both good). I have my iphone jailbroken now, and a tethering app which is great cuz i use my ipad thru it

E) A decent sized battery ( i know; wishful thinking but still... at least 1800+ mAh)

F) Fast ( so it wont slow down in time. like my iphone has), was hopin 2gb RAM

-> I have been looking at: Sony LT30a ( the international one, the at&t one doesnt have the other bands): Oppo Find 5 ( no removable sim :mad: ): Samsung SIII T999 ( 8mp camera): a nokia phone (dont know if that can be rooted for tether): Aquos 104SH (can i get that in the US? )

*** So if there are any suggestions/thoughts of what phone to get, please say so!!

2) I want to get a GSM signal repeater to put in my car, so i have a strong signal for my car whenever i have my phone.. I want to be able to install this discretely ( other than the external antenna..); and so that it is only on when my car is on, and i dont have to manually plug it in/out when i want to use it.. ( would i have to add another fuse or something to achieve this?).. I am pretty clueless on what i would have to do, but i am somewhat smart so i could figure it out if i knew what to look for.. or if its comes to it, just pay someone to do it for me.. I was thinkin of this one -> from CellAntenna website CA-AVHR-5000 DUAL BAND REPEATER, it works with both 800 and 1900 bands, or this one ( ive heard wilson is good, from CB radio users... ) Wilson Cellular 40dB In-Vehicle Wireless Dual-Band 800MHz/1900MHz Cellular/PCS Bi-Directional Amplifier Kit from WPSantennas website.

3) Any way to.. 'reset' an iphone4. i have it jailbroken, on iOS 5 ( havent upgraded bcuz i dunno if there is a untethered break out yet..) and its really really sluggish.. I was wantin to basically reset it all, then i can reinstall each app that i use individually ( i have iFunbox, so i can back the apps up.. and maybe the texts? i dunno how tho ) But its really slow, and i want to make it fast again lol..

Thanks for the replies in advance!! :) Im glad to be comin back to andriod after my iphone...
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
Are you sure about Straight Talk ? Do they have the best coverage in your area compared to other pre-paid GSM providers ?

1.

A) Are you willing to compromise on the phone specs/features for that ?

B) Same as above.

C) This sort of relates to my introduction - have you checked coverage ? Who has the best coverage in your area ? If it's T-Mobile, have you looked at their plans ?

D) I'd do more research on if the carrier you choose can and will block this. If you're with Verizon on contract, I'm pretty sure it's included - but a lot of pre-paid plans will give you much hassle and the work-arounds don't always work. I'd look into it for each carrier if you're going to want to try.

E) I think there's some narrowing down to do here first.

F) What do you mean by "slow down in time" ? RAM will have an impact as far as things like re-loading and re-draws are concerned, but it won't really speed up the actual processing of the phone. My tablet has "only" 1Gb RAM and I don't really notice in comparison with my phone that has 2Gb.

For the Oppo Find 5, you mean "no removable SD card", right ? Nokia is doing Windows Phone 8 right now. Those phones all seem like solid choices - the decision really depends on what you expect from this phone and how you'll use it. An SD card is going to matter more if you like to put music or movie files on the device and can't or don't prefer to use a streaming service instead. The battery is an issue in that - how long do you expect to keep this phone ? If it's more than two years, I'd avoid unibody phones, there's going to be battery degradation no matter how nice you are to it - and a removable battery gives you the freedom to abuse it and not worry, since you can always put a new battery in when it starts to get weaker. And you can very easily get extended batteries for this kind that don't need micro-usb/lightening work-arounds (which you aren't going to find too much outside of iPhones, anyway).

Knowing how you use it will help to tell which features matter most.

2. Why do you need a signal repeater for your car ? Do you often have trouble with getting a signal in your car ? I'd get the phone first and then worry about it - unless the phone has an exceptionally poor internal radio, I don't see why you'd really need one unless there's some special factor at play.

3. Don't know, I'd check an iPhone forum. Can you factory reset it ?

[General Questions and Answers] Lemonada8:
thanks for the replies!! :)

I am wantin to use it as a camera mainly (2nd to the phone)... thats why im wanting a good camera and a removable SD card (so i can get them easier)... and be able to tether it to my comp/ipad so i can use the internet thru it.

When i had my EVO a few years ago, i had a free tether app where i could use it free w/o paying for it. I have something like it now on my iphone... so basically i wanna be able to root it and install APKs that i download to do that. I dont know if windows phone has that ability (hence asking about nokia phones).

I think im gonna go with the Oppo Find 5 and get the 32gb one, even tho it doesnt have the removable sd card... It has good camera specs and since i cant get the sony one i want ( LT30a), imma go with the oppo. From the reviews ive read, it looks to be the best option (good camera with the sony camera special thing *cant remember what it is, but the xperias have it*.. and the large battery ( even tho not removable, but with 2500mAh should be good enough to stay working even when it starts to crap out, there will be enough juice to last a while.. )

does anyone know what frequencies are used for GSM towers? Im a lil confused on it, with what i read.. like is the T mobile "4g" not actually 4g but the HSPA+ towers being fast or what? and i guess the 4g is a 2nd thought cuz i spend time in larger cities when traveling and would be nice to have fast internet... but like i said the whole need 4g is secondary..

the RAM bit was i want to keep the phone for a while, and want it to be the best i can get now.. and 2gb RAM sounds like it would keep its speed pretty good... granted i prolly couldnt tell a difference but still a nice thing.

and with the sony odin, i read somewhere that the specs wont include wifi... which i thought was a common thing with new phones, so i didnt include it on my need list, but when i am on the internet i am mainly on wifi; so i do need it :)

Thanks for the thoughts!! :)
[General Questions and Answers] Lemonada8:
so i ended up gettin the Sony LT30p, and im lovin it so far..

althought having some issues with the roms, i need to sync Exchange mail and calander with my phone, and i cant seem to get it to work, It worked before i rooted my phone, and now it doesnt work.. :(

Ive tried the cuiriosity 1.3, and 1.4 and they both dont work., Im gonna go with the stock ROM, although i love the cuirosity so i want to get it workin with that, then i'd be super happy!! :)

any help gettin exchange to work properly?

I know there were people hating in your threads, it's too bad there's no ignore button.
[HTC Droid DNA] hungsolow:
I guess we all have our breaking points. Only thing I hate more than when someone asks a question in a thread (whether related to the thread or not) that has been already been answered several times (or can be Googled easily) is when someone spoon feeds them by answering. Meanwhile, when someone asks relevant questions or makes a relevant comment, it gets lost in the bs. Oh well, it is what it is. Thanx for the work u did put in...

[HTC Droid DNA] hungsolow:
Cubed 2.3.1...

fwiw, on 2.2.1 and on 2.2.3, I had NO issues with reboots, lockups, SoD, heat, lag, speed, etc. I think the issues are with the controllers and maybe a combination of messing around with voltages. The ONLY times I experienced any and almost all of these issues is when I used either System Tuner (Pro) or Android Tuner. When I use "old faithful" SetCPU, NO ISSUES and battery life is phenomenal. I don't comment much until I have thoroughly tested... or unless someone in the thread is buggin out with worrisome questions/comments. Anyway, nice work.

btw, I use min 192, max 1728 and interactivex2, Lionheart, badass, and msm-dcvs. I primarily use interactivex2 tho. I try all the schedulers. I don't notice any difference but I primarily use fiops now (because it sounds cool!) :D

He has been fuxing with D pretty hard. Over and over. I'm sure my eggnog induced outburst in his development thread didn't help either. I am ashamed at how I responded. Flame me too I guess. I have apologized privately to the mods and D but I will use this forum to apologize to the guy I was being a **** to publicly. Sorry dude. I'm not usually like that. And sorry to everybody else that doesn't know me from other forums for the bad first impression I have made for myself.
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
It wasn't I was just speaking what dsb said awhile back in thread although it's probably been deleted or edited. It's all our devices or setcpu, kernel tuner or system tuners fault according to dsb and the kernel had nothing to do with it. He asked people to post there logcat and etc and then said wasn't kernel. I mean cmon all those apps work fine with stock kernel. Overall I think it's quite sad you let people get to you like this. If you feel you have to reply to every little comment and go off all hasty like this that is very very sad. We need devs that are willing to work with the community and not think they are holier than the rest of community!!

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

Nope he's not it's all my fault for saying what he already said previously. Tells us a lot about his character.

But yet he can be a **** to us and not get in trouble?
[HTC Droid DNA] dr_drache:
you have NO idea how many people look @ those kmsg, 99% of them are NOT because of the kernel. you my friend are a douche. those apps don't work fine on stock on this phone, they just DO NOT FUNCTION.

camera crashes the phone on 100% stock.

25% wakelocks on 100% stock

SOD on 100% stock.

yet, you the super dev, think that it's D's fault because he works 10+ hours a day to fix ****.

I'm surprised you're not banned from life.
[HTC Droid DNA] jayochs:
SIGH

this is the EXACT drama that the rezound forums had, and i was hoping to all hell the DNA would be different....it's been doing so well, too...sigh.
[HTC Droid DNA] sgt. slaughter:
See it can get frustrating reading complaints about issues when they provide little detail as to what exactly they were running...

Ie if you have issues on custom kernel you should be sure to state if you changed voltages, governor, clock speeds....ANYTHING that's different from pure stock and provide log for the dev too...

Just stating X is happening and doesn't on stock doesn't help them at all most of the time...as most of the time when that is happening its bc something extra the user is doing on the custom kernel like the items I mentioned above....

Hopefully time passes and he comes back for yall. Just take my notes going forward though on here as it can get frustrating as a dev trying to find root cause of an issue with little to no info or just a log even...

-JS
[HTC Droid DNA] xHausx:
Looking through your posts there I couldn't find a single instance where you provided either a logcat or kmsg. Instead, you repeatedly talked about switching to other kernels and kept creating unproductive and provocative posts.

Contrary to your assumption that "devs were supposed to fix bugs here" no one here owes you anything, and unless you're willing to help fix an issue you have no business posting in any of the development threads. It's as simple as that.
[Nook Touch General] barchamb:
I got two NSTs on black Friday. On the first one, I installed the 1.1 update, then the 2.1.31 touch nooter. Everything went fine.

On the second one, I totally forgot to install the 1.1 update, just went straight to installing touch nooter. Now all it does is boot loop. I've tried doing a factory reset, but it still just boot loops after that. Is there anything I can do at this point?
[Nook Touch General] osowiecki:
- Clockwork recovery -> mSDcard

- Boot CWR

- wipe /data/cache partition

- perform factory reset (6 failed boots in a row)

- boot / register device/ poweroff

- apply 1.1_FW.zip via CWR

http://code.google.com/p/nst-recovery/downloads/list
[Nook Touch General] barchamb:
I tried that, but it didn't work. Still boot loops. I ended up download NookManager and using the factory reset in there, and fortunately, that worked.

I re-registered and installed the 1.2.1 update, and re-rooted. Everything's great now.
[Nook Touch General] jun127:
Did you re-root with the nookmanager? How is it? Can you get GAPPS working? Glad to know I made the right choice updating to 1.1 before root too, I wasn't sure if it was necessary. lol
[Nook Touch General] barchamb:
NookManager is a really nice app. It's very easy to use and does it's job well. However, I don't think it's goal is to have Gapps, as they are not installed by the app, and the market is not there either. Well, the Google Play market is not there. The Amazon App Store is, however.

It seems to me like NookManager is more for people who just want to use the NST as a book reader and less as a tablet.
[Nook Touch General] Sim2:
Thanks

I did basically the same thing and this post saved my ass. While I could get to the built-in factory reset, it did not work. NookManager did.

You can add some of these extra things to OP

1)If you Keep your Auto-sync on for Mails then I suggest you to Disable Auto-sync (from Power Widgets and from Data Usage setting. because there is not particular button in JB to turn off Auto-sync In settings> Accounts) and use apps from market for get mails and set particular interval to check inbox for app.

2) Uncheck Backup Data from Setting>Backup & Restore If you dont use that function.

3) Unckeck all ticks from Play store setting that cause Play-store constantly check for new updates for apps and ads.

4) Set Clock speed of CPU using apps or from settings. Like "No-frills CPU'

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.sineo.android.noFrillsCPU&hl=en

and maintain it as per your requirement in differnet rom and differnet android version like GB,ICS,JB

In my case i use default setting of JB stock Kernel.

Min Frequency : 300 Mhz

Max Frequency : 1000 Mhz

Governer : conservative

I/O scheduler : cfq

5) Maintain Your Screen Brightness as per requirement.its main reason of battery drain while screen on.dont let it always at high percentage.

6)See your Battery Usage and freeze some apps like Google-maps which you are not using by apps like : Titanium Backup. which are main reason fro wakeclock.less wakeclock means less batterydrain during battery drain.

Will let you know more tips later. and by the way who is daktitor ?:confused:. I spouse both kernel belongs to loSconosciuto.
