adi 3, 16 Feb 2012Thanks for your reply...
Can you tell me all the steps tha... moreProcedure is very simple and hardly takes 5 secs. If you are running gingerbread on your gio then download gingerbread's file for rooting and place it in the root of your sd card (not in any folder). Then reboot your gio into recovery mode and apply the update.zip from there. Reboot your phone and your gio is rooted.
If you're very well familiar with what I said then you're good to go. If not then I'd advise you to first get yourself well acquainted with such terms and procedures and then proceed because any wrong step can be harmful for your phone!!!
You can find plenty of information on a very famous developer's forum on the internet. I don't know if naming them would come under commercial/referal programs or not. So you search on the internet and go to their Galaxy Gio's section. There you can seek help and find all kind of files and ROMs.
I just tested IceCreamSandwich ROM (4.0.3) on my gio. Its not complete yet and still has bugs but whenever it'll be done, its gonna rock. God bless the developers because no way we can get ICS on our gio from official sources ever lol.

adi 3, 15 Feb 2012But rooting your phone might damage your phone...
There a... moreI appreciate your input on disadvantages of rooting one's device.
Yes, rooting does void your warranty but its up to everyone whether to choose warranty or have fun with phone. Chance of bricking your phone during rooting is next to none if you do it with proper file which is not hard to find after a little bit of research on the internet.
Rooting by any means has no performance aspect. It just gives you super user access to your phone which means that you can remove unwanted system apps, install a different version of android etc.
Performance can only be improved by installing a custom android version or custom kernel which allows you to overclock your CPU etc. And here the risk of bricking your phone increases (again if you don't follow instructions or flash wrong files etc.)
Well bro, if you just root your phone and DO NOT flash non-market apps then no virus issue exists. Rooting a phone doesn't install non-market (custom) apps automatically. So you can easily avoid this risk even after rooting.
Now I tell you that I bought my Gio in August last year and so far I've rooted 2-3 stock ROMs on it and flashed various custom/stock ROMs some 20 times on it. Currently I'm using cyanogenmod 7.2 which is based on android 2.3.7. Gio's internal memory is just 181MB which is way too less but after rooting I have partitioned my sd-card and attached 450MB with 181MB. Before that my memory would get full after 30apps but now I have 107+apps (90% of these are essential for me) and still have some 100MB free in internal memory. In short I have done pretty much stuff on my phone which I couldn't do without rooting. :-)
DISCLAIMER: All that I have said above is based on my experience solely and I have, in no way, tried to influence anyone to root his/her phone. I have done all that at MY OWN RISK and anyone trying to do that would do at his/her OWN RISK!
Nobody is responsible if anything happens to your phone!

There are two main disadvantages to
rooting an Android phone;
1. Rooting immediately voids your phone's
warranty-Once rooted, don't try to bring
your phone back for service or warranty
work. You are on your own!
2. Rooting involves the risk of "bricking"
your phone- In essence, a "bricked" phone
is no better than carrying around a brick in
your pocket. The phone is dead when it
has been "bricked."
1. Poor performanc e-Though the intention
of "rooting" a phone is to give the phone
more performance, several users have
found that, in their attempts to speed up
the phone or add additional features, that
their phones lost both performance speed
and features. Remember that when you
"root" your Android phone, you are making
changes to the stock operating system.
2. Viruses-Yes, even phones can get viruses.
A common practice that people do with
"rooted" phones is to flash their ROM's
with custom programs. Whenever you make
changes to the code of a software, you run
the risk of introducing a virus.
