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.

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!
Screenshot Please.
I also would like to not to have unlock by menu option.
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

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.

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

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.
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)
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
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 !
This is for virgin mobile cdma marvelc phones only. I'm not responsible for you bricking your phone.
I understand Simon already has a ROM like this of his own. This is mostly just so I can gain the experience.
This is the stock ROM for HTC Wildfire S on virgin mobile usa with some custom changes applied. This is the first ROM I've ever built so I hope you enjoy it.
Changes include:
V3
fixed issue with sound sets (hopefully)
V2
fixed missing dialer
removed facebook, weather and twitter for extra space you can add them back if you want from market
fixed an issue with camera
fixed music issue
more junk apps removed
V1
rooted
busybox installed
removed Sense
removed all HTC junk apps
added ADW Launcher
added links2sd
Available internal memory with this is 88MB on my phone compared to the 30MB I got from the stock ROM.
To install, simply copy to sd card and install from recovery menu. Don't forget to wipe caches.
To take advantage of links2sd make sure you have an extra partition on your sd card. I suggest it be about 1GB in size formatted to fat32. Of course you can have whatever size you see fit.
Please report any bugs. I really appreciate all the help guys.

Hello,
Firstly, I am new to this forum. I watched the "noob video" and try to follow the guidelines.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Y(oung) GT-S5363. The baseband version is S5363XXKK3.
My Carrier is O2 Germany.
Now I found that the original firmware's options are kinda limited. For instance it doesn't have different profiles and there is no setting for vibration feedback while typing.
Now I want to flash my phone with a custom ROM. The ROMs I found are for the GT-S5360, but after a short forum search I discovered that I can use 5360 ROMs.
However, the custom ROMs I found are a little bloated. I don't want the ROM to have as many functions as you can pack into it and change the whole look & feel of the phone.
I want the ROM to use as little RAM and CPU as possible. It is not important to have German as UI language setting, but the Swype keyboard should know German.
Now which ROMs could you recommend to me? If there is no ROM out there which meets my requirements, would you recommend me building my own one?
Thanks in advance,
Luca
check out the multilanguage roms in android dev. section.. u can find the rom u like over there
Cranium is very minimalistic. So I guess Cranium is the one you are looking for. Theres only a handful of Roms available though.
No custom rom atm has Swype as keyboard. Just download Swype beta, it has German language support.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
hybrid is also known as a light one. if you want the swype. copy swype.apk in your current rom (in /system/app) to your sd card then copy it to /system/app folder in custom rom's zip folder.
btw, you can remove any bloatware from your rom manually by deleting the apk's via root explorer or any file explorer which could acces system's folder.
Is this possible with Linux as Desktop OS? I use Xubuntu and don't want to install Windows just for messing around with my smartphone^^
to modify the rom's *zip file you can do it in linux or whatever OS as long as you can open the zip file. to manually remove the bloatware from your current stock rom you should root your device and install root explorer.
So, I clicked through a few threads with the alternative firmwares. As far as I got it, both the Cranium and the Hybrid mod change the look & feel drastically. Is there a way to have more settings with the Samsung TouchWiz UI?
you may use another launcher...

Hi, I recommend EmeralD ROM
It contains German Swype, and just some minimal modifications on the stock ROM.
There's all the stock apps in, but you can remove the unneeded apps from the zip (system/app folder) before applying.
Hello all,
Cause my wife's gio is very slow, I want to try another rom. But there is only 1 problem... she doesn't like the qwerty-keyboard. She still use the "oldschool" keyboard with only numbers and T9.
There are some apps in the market with the same option, but because of all the extra options on the keyboards, the keys are smaller.
Is there someone who can help me with an apk for the stockrom?
I hope!
Thank you!
Settings - Language and Keyboard Settings - Samsung keypad - Potrait keypad types - select 3x4 keypad
And then enable xt9 and what not
Is this what you want ?
Also if you want a fast rom i`d recommend Adrenaline / Enhanced 2.3.6 / DebianDroid Lenny whichever suits you
These roms don`t change the stock keyboard but if you choose a rom that does , just flash this http://www.mediafire.com/?xx7snt4kmbd8ro1 and you`re good to go
Tnx for your answer. The problem is that in gingerxd there is no 4x3 keyboard. That is the rom i use on my own gio. Its a smooth rom with good looks and extras.
The zipfile, is that the original keyboard or what does it contain?
Just flash with cwm?
Yes it is the original keyboard , mount /system , flash , reboot
Edit : forgot to give credit to muzaffarhassan64 , the original link to the stock keyboard is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064928
Thanx for your help but it doesn't work
I mounted system, flashed the zip (not placed in root but that isn't a problem i think) rebooted but there is no extra keyboard in "languages and keyboard"
Did i do something wrong?
I don`t think so ... it works for me . Then again .. i`m not an expert , maybe someone who knows better can help you. Sorry mate
Oke, no problem, thanks for your help.
In adrenaline there is the original samsung keyboard? Then i think i'll try that rom, cause i also have a problem with batterydrain i can't solve...
Yes those roms are based on stock with added features / speed , they are very nice depends on what you need , i think Adrenaline is the snappiest , Enhances 2.3.6 has some more features and i use DebianDroid because it`s about the same as those 2 but has integrated holo launcher so ics-like theme, integrated root explorer and working s2e. Also i can change the dpi to 120 without changing the phone.apk so i like it the best.
Oke, thanks for your feedback, I'm going to read about debiandroid and when it looks good i'll flash it today.
Is this the right topic?

works very well on P1
Thx for your great work! I am surprised that nobody on XDA comment on this? There are not many quality ROM
options for us (like for my previous phone, HTC DESIRE) so i am glad if someone like you did great job and give
us ROM which can be used daily, even it is officially in beta. This Emotion UI is basically renamed MIUI project
so i exactly know what to expect.
Great thing is that is sound now "Dolby enhanced" for all system, not just when you play music. Battery life is OK
(I use "intelligent" settings). What I missing, is Huawei keyboard, which I think is very good, and have bigger letters then
Xperia keyboard, anyway, since I do not care about swype, I installed GO Keyboard. One thing that I personally do not
like in MIUI-like ROM, is IOS behaviour of putting all apps (old and new) on home screen, so i must rearrange them and
put in folders. Also, what is missing and i think for others will be good, if they come from "classic Android", is application
which shows all installed apps in one click (in my case, I use "Draweroid", and its icon I put at the bottom, in the middle,
so i can always can back to "normal apps show").
In my case, I originally came from ROM B100 (Croatia, Vipnet). I upgraded to latest B229, flashed Clockworkmod v5.5
touch and root the phone. After that, it comes you ROM. Please continue to upgrade it
which android version is this? 4.1.2?
how is the performance and battery life?
is it stable?
Just a heads-up marismillas. Root Explorer is a paid app and is then pirated if you release it free in your ROM. You should remove it from your ROM and re-upload your nice work.
Great job marismillas!
Regne de Htcmania
Temporarily closed and link removed until some things get sorted out.
Edit: Re-opened.
New version aviable, remove root explorer.
Sorry for that.
Do you have a mirror link for a site where it's possible to download the file without having to register?

wow!!! thanks
I wanted to ask a few questions before installing the ROM:
There is the online store that to download themes?
There is the theme ANDROID? (the one with icons stock etc.).
How do you get the status bar black? (it is much better than white)
Still great job ... keep it up!
Not bad at all.........
I installed this Rom at the weekend. It works MUCH better than the Emotion UI 1.5 (B315) ROM from Huawei.
I was impressed with the stability and that there is about 200MB more available space with this ROM compared to the one above after installing over 70 apps.
There are a few issues though:
The phone signal does seem to not be as strong as it was on the old B229 ICS ROM though.
The Ringtones seem to go back to default after restarting sometimes.
The battery life could be better.
Also, all of my weather widgets that worked on B315 now have missing icons (see red box in the attachment). This happens with both Eye In The Sky and BeWeather. Is there a fix for this? Or any similar widgets that actually work?
Just a follow up on my point about weather widgets problems. I have now tried 3 other widgets that provide multi-day forecasts and none of them work. It seems to be a location issue whereby if they cannot determine your location, they don't load properly.
