5.Confirm your choice to "OK"
6.Right-click on the unpartitioned space
7.Click "Create"
8. A warning message appears, click "Yes"
9.Choose "Create as Primary"
10.Patrition type Ext4
11.Cluster size 4Kb Cluster size 4Kb
12.click "Ok"
13.click "Apply"
14.Finish
15.Now you can insert the card into the phone


Enabling S2E
- install it from market. be sure u've install gapps before!
- open s2e, and press menu and choose setting
- checklist the advance mode, extended partitions info, mount as ext4
- u also can set read buffer. i'm using 3Mb
- press back, and press menu -> reboot
- if your phone not automatic reboot, u should reboot it manually
- after reboot, open s2e again. u can check whatever u want
- i'm check it all, except Application data (Application data = a2sd extream datasd)
- reboot again
- u need to modified 02gio. see this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19792902&postcount=705

have problem cant checklist application, dalvik-cache, private-apps application-data on s2e after checked mount as ext4 and reboot?
you must format your second partition using computer as ext4
u can use gparted (linux) or minitool partition wizard (windows)

card reader is only way for gio's sd-ext partition , because , Gio's cwm recovery format's sd-ext into ext2 and there isn't partitioning option either, If you have any other android with cwm recovery you can use that phone to make ext4 partition , otherwise pc or laptop is the only way .

Try it on other PC , if you have linux try on that. I don't think class 10 is the issue.

Did you format the whole sd card after in the phone before partitioning?? you should format first then try to make partition.


EDIT: ext4 is such a headache I did format my sd-ext again for your problem , and stuck on it . Fortunately i was lucky i got it formatted. Here is how i did it . I formatted it into ext2 than ext4 , do not give any label or name , leave that empty , it worked for me

Other people said after they install my custom kernel on dxkt4 firmware, wifi didn't get obtain IP address.
Why it could be going on?

But, on my own, it works. like on my screenshots below.

Can u help me to answer to their question?

    Common Issues and possible solutions / tips and tricks

    Common Issues and possible solutions / tips and trick

    shutdown/freeze randomly in your pocket

    . Change your Wifi sleep policy to Never, put a small paper behind the battery some times battery gets loose , if problem stays fectory reset and install latest firmware and fectory reset yet again ..

    rooted phone and upgragde gingerbread,but still having problem about bootanimated

    Install Root explorer and you need to select "remount as r/w".

    command on adb shell to replac framework-res.apk?
    #mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

    then:
    cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/

    #reboot (bootloop posibility if framework doesnt match)

    Poor Battery Life
    Install latest firmware , turn of wifi when not using , try to charge with wall Charge some times data cable don't charge the properly, And don't forget to clean Ram after using apps , it helps to reduce load on device.

    Compass doesn't work anymore
    Its a bug , there is no solution availble yet , as soon something comes out i'll post here.​

    Is there a possibility to overclock samsung galaxy Gio
    Nop overclocking isn't working with gio yet.

    What is the code for fectory reset
    Put your phone in recovery mode (By holding home button+Power button) and select fectory reset option from there or if your phone is on use this code
    *2767*3855# Fectory reset will remove all your data from the phone, apps , gallery , contacts and messages be sure to make a backupHow to check your firmware version

    What is a2sd darktremor and why should i install it ???
    a2sd darktremor let you install your all apps on sd card , so in this way internal memory stays empty and phone perform better than stock rom...

    I want to Flash my phone , What should i do after and before???
    you always have to fectory reset before and after flashing , when you done flashing you need to root(most of custom roms are already rooted so skip to next step) now you have to enable (a2sd daktremor if its not enabled in a custom rom you have to do it manually) . thats it , now you can start restoring your data , and install apps ...
