[ROM] CM 7 for BRAVO (No modifications) Camcorder working!

CM7 for BRAVO (No modifications)!!
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HKY4OVEI
Try it and post any issues or problem!!
Well all this is thanks to rdannar, I just take his lastest CM7 rom (CM7 V5) and changed everything back to stock, accelerometer and backlight buttons are working also.
No action snap is installed, to install Fast burst Camera (zoom and autofocus) go to this thread to download it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272161
I used 2nd init defy and remember to follow the next (always used) steps:
1) copy the rom to your sdcard
2) boot into 2nd init defy -> recovery -> stable recovery
3) wipe data/factory reset
4) wipe cache partition
5) advance -> wipe dalvik cache
6) install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard
7) reboot
To take photos use Fast Burst Camera.
Do not use Defy Baseband Switcher if your 3G is working!!

I'm liking it so far!
Is there any way future ones (at least once you get to "production" runs) could NOT include the old swype? Sort of a pain to remove it to install Swype beta...

great rom! at the moment after two days of use I have not found still no defect. (before I used the rom v2 of rdannar). thanks

This is sweet. Camera works fine, camera advanced lite also works like a charm.

I'm working on getting camera and camcorder working with the stock camera app. I'm using the CM7 v2 rom from rdannar but adjusting some of the files in the system/framework folder. Anyone else tried this?

Nice, I think everybody should help so we get camera working.
Thats the only issue we have to work with.
Defy developers do the rest!!

STUCK!
Ok I got the camera to preview and it clicks if i use the settings that match the stock Bravo but all it saves as a file is a black screen. Can somebody please give me the stock 2.2.1 sbf file decompiled and changed to a .zip or something.
For something at least I have fast burst camera up and working. Now that I think, I need to get source codes. All of the codes for 2.2.1 camera for bravo, and the codes that are in the gingerbread CM7 rom.

Thanks! But I'll have to unzip it and see what it all is. I'm not caring about deodexed files I just want something that I can look at on my computer just like the CM7 mods that are zipped and archived. Easier to look at for hours.
Umm, all it gave me was a file called external.tar. What do I do with it? took me two hours to download.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Ok this is what i'm looking for. Froyo 2.2.1 for the bravo, not in .sbf but in the way it would be if we were using it like the CM7 rom. Opened and in the order just like I can see it on my phone with Super Manager in File Explorer rooted mode. And need to know if some of us want CM7 WITH or WITHOUT BLUR.
I'll just see if I can make two versions. One with and one without so no fighting. But i will need testers.

But I think bravox rom is like that. What do you exactly mean?
------------------------------------------------------------------
About external.tar, I havent worked with that before, no codes for me by now, I have just changed files and zipped roms.
Im here to try, my two bravos are fine to test everything.
For me it doesnt matter about having blur or not, but I prefer GINGERBLUR , anyway we need a fully working gingerbread rom. (everthing will come after it)

What I need.
Ok. I need to have the regular 2.2.1 for the bravo in the exact same way as if we downloaded the CM7 rom that is 2.3.4. The regular 2.2.1 that I have now is just the .sbf file for use with RSD Light just in case I really screw up my phone. Just like windows restore............ Anywho i'm working on right now building the stock 2.2.1 bravo file system by using a stock factory bravo and copying all of the root files onto the SD card to put them on my computer. I'll be going through all of the crap and looking at the CM7 roms to find out what is diffrent. I need somebody who can zip the stuff so it can be loaded with 2ndint. This will then allow me to put this newish rom into beta. Or if someone can find or give me the program that zips everything for 2ndint to use. I will attach sometime what I pulled off of my Bravo for a better understanding of what I want.

Well it got unplugged and found it's way to another play spot in the bathroom. Can anybody tell me the rest of the story??

quick question about gio gt-s5660M

Just wondering if someone could clarify about this model over the rest. Am I limited to rom's just made for the M model then? or do the normal roms I see like the cm7 ones in the development section of this model work on the m model?

Check this out. It might of some help to you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17332208&postcount=1013

Hi I have the "m" model as well and I haven't had much luck with the majority of roms made for the euro version of our phone. Darkshado had made a ROM called ArpegGioMod ROM that is made for the m series and works quite well. I use his ROM and I'm quite happy with it versus the stock ROM.
I flashed cyanogenmod 7.1 on my phone using Odin and by leaving out the phone package which seemed to work pretty well, but after a day my phone could not connect to the network to make phone calls or use 3g so I flashed back.
Let me know how it works for you. Thanks.

I have the s5660m as well and I've been using cyanogenmod 7.2 rc0 build4 since it came out. Everything works except gps.

I also have the s5660m , but it is unlocked. I am able to install any firmware, once is it a GIO rom. Go to ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1368587 It has a program to unlock your phone and also some other samsungs. Try it out.

I have an s5660m and I can download CM7 and CM9

I also have an unlocked and rooted 5660M. Has anyone been able to successfully install ClockWordMod recovery on the M? If so, please post a short how to.
Thanks

Hi. I've a related question since i've a "L" model (as in S-5660L). Am i stuck like the M models or can i do whatever i want with this?

Gio s5560m Stuck data mode deactivated.
Hello all,
I bought a Gio M about a month ago good phone and happy so far. Problem I've had is 3g is OFF ---> power button- Phone Options menu - Network Data mode is deactivated. Push to turn ON and stays deactivated. Go into system, network, and yes data packets is checked on.
Phone is stock no tweaks no extras, did a clear cache and reset phone to OE spent 2 hours with tech support on Virgin canada and Samsung. Virgin blames phone, Samsung Blames virgin 3g network.
My question is could the phone have a bad firmware flash from factory it came with 2.3.4
I am going to go back to Best buy next weekend and see if I can test with another gio. If 3g works on test unit then I'll send this one in for repairs I guess.
Any other suggestions?

Did you try another Virgin SIM? That's one thing I'd look into.
Also if you're in the Montreal area or in the GTA (I'm not sure where else) there are Samsung Service Centres you could take this to.
Show up in person and have them diagnose the problem. You might even be able to wait while they work on it if you have a bit of spare time.
2.3.4 is the proper version number for the stock ROM on the 5660M. No updates so far.

Gio s5560m no 3g
Have not tried another virgin sim. I do have a spare that came with the phone spose I could try it although its sealed up in the packaging still.
Live in northern Alberta and the nearest city with virgin phone sales is 2hrs away hence the wait to get fixed. Surprise surprise Samsung did not phone me back today like they said they would either.
Found one other post on here of a fellow in Norway with no 3g can't enable or disable but no answers on his post to the problem. I'll wait till the weekend and go to the city and see if Bestbuy has an activated sim they can put in and try.
Thanks for the help and I will update when I get it figured out.

i had the same connection problems, try going back to your stock ROM and take note of your APN settings, once you flash back to CM you'll notice the rom made several changes!
changing the APN settings back to stock, fixed any connection issues i had
hope i helped! (i'm using CM7.2 RC1 B1 KANG on my BELL 5660M)

s550m 3g
Problem is I am using the stock rom, the rom that came with the phone is the one giving the problems. Sending the phone back for "repairs" and we will see what comes of it.
I'll keep you all updated.

I'm new here and I tried to read all the information to get a good idea around flashing the S5660M. I also have the bell version.
I'm going to put down the steps, if anybody can give me pointers or correct any mistakes. That'd be great, I want to put CM7.1 or 7.2, whichever one is stable enough for all functionality to work. Speed is not an issue as I am giving this phone to my grandpa who needs a chinese language display system which Samsung didn't include in the original ROM.
1. Root phone
2. Install ClockworkMod Recovery
3. Reboot into recovery mode, make backup using Nandroid? I heard there's other tools that can be used. I'd like to backup the original ROM.
4. Download the desired CM from recovery mode onto SD card
5. Delete cache and wipe data
6. Choose the new ROM to be flashed and wait
I think that's the general idea, is there any key steps I am missing?
Sorry again for asking but I want to make sure I got the correct steps for S5660M.

You are right. But remember after you flash CM7, then install gapps.zip wich can be found in cm7 thread, so you have google apps, then your done.

I read some more stuff yesterday(a lot of variance )
Some people mentioned titanium backup. Which one is better? nandroid or titanium backup to save up the original ROM?
Also, is Universal_GB_ROOT_v2.zip the best/safe way to root a S5660M?

Yes, the gb_root.zip or superoneclick.
Superoneclick can be downloaded from shortfuse.org
Make sure you have the usb drivers, usb debugging on.
Then connect your phone via usb, wait for it to connect and press root, then your done

[Q] Which ROM choose?

Hy guys!
MY LIFE:
It's my first topic. I'm french and I bought in october a new phone, the SAMSUNG Gio. I'm happy, this phone is good, but my operator installed *** apps running everyday and uninstallable! So I tryed to root my phone with a program (Ginberbreack) and with the XDA tutorial (Update.zip) but without success (I have SuperUser but it's all). I have Android 2.3.3 with kernel [email protected]#I
MY QUESTIONS:
1. I'd like to install the better power safer ROOM you know for the Gio, and with no bugs (very important!) or additional programs. A very "clean" ROOM with optimizations (if possible). I searched and I found CryogenMod 7.2 (very popular) or GioPro. But I'd like to have opinions and nothing's better than feedbacks!
2. If I change my ROOM, I'll be administrator or not? What method to become root?
Ty everyone

I would go for CynanogenMod 9 once stable is released

CM7.2 for now and CM9 after the Developers upload a satble version

Try Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1, fast and stable.

I prefer CM9 but it isn't complete now. I waiting for stable version

Did you try SuperOneClick to root your stock ROM?
If you want to stay stock give that a shot.

Thank you everyone!
No, I didn't try this method. I'll try this week-end.
Ok so, I install CM7.2 (CyanogenMod), but do you know the release date of CM9? And CM7.2, it's a very light and optimizated ROM or you have new programs or fonctionalities included?

NEVER ask for ETA (=release date) for Cyanogenmod.

This is awesome! Ty guys, I install this new rom this night (in France). Just a minut: is it a One package or I have to install another package I want like boot? And if I have to install à new boot, wich one?
-> I'd like to change the bootloader after installation so if the boot loader don't give me this possibility, it's not good

Ok guys there is a big problem.
I've just installed "px-cwm-v2.zip" form SD card, wipe my data and... install "CM7.7.2-RC-patch-1.zip"...
But it's not what I had to make. I had to install "update-cm-7.2.0-RC...zip"... :S...
Now my phone is stuck at the android screen and I don't know the method to access to the SD card and copy the right CM7.2 to install it in Recovery mod :S
Please, help me and sorry for the double post!

did you tried to put your phone in recovery mode? (when phone is turned off, press home button + power button)
if u can do that successfully, then connect the phone to pc, go to 'mounts and storage', then chose "mount usb storage"
the content of the sd card should apear in "my computer". and from there, you can copy the right files needed to flash

i'm loving CM7.2 RC1 B1 KANG on my 5660M.
i tried more than a couple other ROMs, and honestly cyanogen is my fav

Well,
This is my first post, and while I'm not on the exact same situation as the OP I'm close enough to it so I won't start a new thread (will I ever after watching that "noob video from xda...?!).
So I'm from Portugal, I have a 2.3.4 Vodafone branded Gio and I have it rooted and with clockworkmod installed (px-cmw-V2.zip), all this seems to be working fine, despite I find odd that the backups the wcm produces are only 16Mb (8mb boot.img + 8Mb recovery.img)?... Does this means that if I f*** up later and I restore my phone with cwm these 16mb have all the original rom inside?... kinda hard to believe, is it even normal? I ask this mainly because there's some weird errors on the cwm recovery screen like:
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
Well, maybe that's normal I dunno.
As the OP the main reason I want to flash to another rom that not the vodafone one is because of the stupid vodafone apps and because I want to have a way to install more apps without the constant problem of no space on the internal phone memory.
On a side question, when and if I install another rom, the contents on the SD-card will still be recognized by that new rom? More precisely, will my progress on games like Cut the rope and games alike be lost with no possible recovery? And is there a better way, or a simple way, to make a full ISO backup of all the phone and SD contents? I thought cwm would allow me that, but with 16Mb backups it's not doing that for sure...
Thanks in advance, about the rom, I think I'll install the SimpliGio Plus and work from there.

Is it true that cm 7.2 still is cooping with a lot of bugs? (Radio, backlight, no incoming calls). Otherwise im also going to flash!
Anyone got a good tutorial site?

I have used both 7.1 and 7.2. Radio was working way better in 7.2. In 7.1, all you could hear was noise. I don't know if there's been any recent fixes for that. I received incoming calls on 7.2 without any problem. You better try that out. If you find problems in it, you can go back any time.

Not sure about the rom as I flashed 3 or 4 last night in an attempt to find one that worked but the recovery is Clockwork mod. It either says it's not compatible with the device on GB ROMs or it gets stuck on the "processing" screen.

Which Roms? and i suggest installing SmelkusMod Recovery, its easy, just download the bootloader version (verify the MD5), and rename the file to PC36IMG.zip, put on sd card and reboot into bootloader, and it asks to install new PC36IMG and hit yes and it installs. easy. after that, the way you install new roms is easy too. Boot to new Recovery, wipe cache & dalvik , boot, cache, data, system (i like using the combo wipe called 'SuperWipe' which does boot, cache, data and system 3 times), then flash new rom and reboot.
then as for the gps issue that i was having, it was because i'm using a JB rom.

Jelly bread, slim bean, CM 10.1, hybrid engine/pie, digital karma, thundershock, unity 0 0.1... maybe more, I've lost count.

1. Remove any other installation of Instagram
2. Go into Play Store settings and DISABLE auto update..... (this detail is crucial, auto update will break this)
3. Double check that 'auto-update' us disabled....

No problem bud..... Happy wife = Happy life (edit-angryITman beat me to that)

So....
This sounds awesome, but I'm wondering: what's different about your version that makes it work?
I am having the same problem. I will say that I used a Sense 1.0 based ROM for about ten minutes today (sooo ooooold), and it worked fine then. But any "I actually want this" ROM fails with Instagram. I want to try your solution, but not before I know why it works.

It's an older version. The up to date, most recent version obviously breaks, and since it 'worked before' the best option is to 'use what you had before' so I downloaded the previous version and tested it out....... It works. That's it. Just an older version. Nothing fancy bout it.

I've tried numerous ROMs on my wife's phone with no luck on getting it to work. It freezes up every time after you try to go to the page after the filters. She won't leave me alone about it and I'm getting desperate here. Please help me out.

Because of the 8MP camera .. image size is to big for instagram to process... drop it down to 2MP instead and it will work for instagram 4.1

[Q] GT18160 Jelly Bean 4.1.2

I would appreciate some guidance as to what rom to install.
This UK version of the phone had become increasingly slow. I have just rooted it but do not know what to do next.
I had intended to install a custom rom and see it rejuvinated, especially for things like Sat Nav. I also want to get rid of some of the Samsung software that is taking up memory space and slowing the phone down. She I try to update the software to KitKat before installing a custom rom?

You could try this ROM, works great for me:

Alternatively, install custom kernels to improve experience:

I find the 101 pages to the help topic overwhelming, especially as it is solidly highly technical. Do you happen to know of a step by step set of instructions that I can follow with ease.
Sorry but some basic points I need clarifying:
You referred me to a rom that works great for you and yet suggest that a custom kernel will improve performance. How do I decide which one to go for? At heart I do not understand the difference between the two.
I had a look at the codina link and notice I need to know what file system is being run on my Ace 2. I tried gparted on my desktop and it did not pickup the android phone as a drive. How do I work out what drive format is being used?

Some searching in those threads couldn't hurt you. It's just one search box away.

I use both. So, in my case, I install the ROM first, and then I install the kernel (instructions above). Note that the kernel part is optional, but should give you better experience.

You could check this by using adb. But if you never did anything before, than it is most likely to be ext4 (default for our Ace2).

Thank you for your help. I have just gone to get the temp. cwm.6028 (http://d-h.st/oZD) and it keeps failing to download. Is the link working? Do you have another one?
I notice that there are two download buttons. The plain download button causes a warning that I am going to a web forgery. The download now button fails to download for me.

For some reason (newest) FireFox downloads it but deletes it right away... This file is save! Use another browser (Chrome for instance) to download... De-activate Download Manager and use Download Now button... Not the other one...

I downloaded it using Flareget and sent it to my desktop and that worked as a download. The downloaded file is called update.zip. Your reply in the last message suggested to me that it should be called "temp. cwm.6028" (http://d-h.st/oZD). I ask in case someone has substituted another file!

Dude.. you are really complicated! This update.zip is the Temp. CWM Recovery...
For sure the are some update.zip around the net which containing other stuff - But this (http://d-h.st/oZD) is the Temp. CWM Recovery.
And it's a save file (as I alrady wrote) - I looks right now that FF and Chrome dont want to download it...
I think some dump users reported this file to often! Only because they don't konw how to download corretly from Dev Host...
I hope this is clear now....
