[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
I have extracted the unmodified initramfs from a USA YP-G70 (Galaxy Player 5.0) stock kernel.

The extraction process has some small gotchas - the kernel image has some false gzip magic bytes which fake out most initramfs extraction utilities. They will find a gzip signature and try to decompress starting from that signature, when in reality, the initramfs is not compressed at all (with the exception of the kernel image compression itself). So you need to force them to assume an uncompressed initramfs image.

The github URL is:

https://github.com/Entropy512/initramfs_yp-g70

Fork and enjoy. While this is from the USA YP-G70, there is a good chance the initramfs will work on the International variants too.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] apapousek:
Excellent, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lardman:
Thanks :)

Have you tried this extractor, worked fine for me with my UK 5.0: https://github.com/mistadman/Extract-Kernel-Initramfs
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
That's what I always use. The problem is that in the second state, it looks for gzip (and also bzip2 and lzma) magic numbers so it can figure out where the initramfs starts. It seems like the US kernel has a few occurrences of these byte sequences that are NOT initramfs headers - they confuse the script.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lardman:
Ah ok, I've obviously been lucky with the UK kernel :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
It's the first time I've ever seen this happen on any device - bad luck I guess. Lost a LOT of time to that annoyance!

(Although this is the first device I've seen with an uncompressed initramfs - my guess is that the extractor is finding something gziped inside the initramfs and not the beginning of the initramfs itself...)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lardman:
Ah well I have had problems before with other initramfs extractors when extracting from the Galaxy Tab kernel, which also has an uncompressed initramfs. This extractor did work though which made life much easier. YMMV, as demonstrated, chance bytes and all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sm_x:
http://www.unlockroot.com/index.htm

It mentions galaxy nexus. I didn't unlock my phone right away and now I regret it. I don't want to lose my app data and since I don't have root I can't use TB to back up my apps.

So will this be a good alternative, or should I avoid it?

Is there a down side to using this method instead of doing it the old fashioned way?

if this is useless, any recommendations on how I can safely back up my app data before unlocking the bootloader?

Thank you for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
never seen or used this. you can, but i prefer doing it manually. not really that hard.,

and theres a thread somewhere in general that tells you how to back up your stuff without root or unlocked bootloader.

something involving ADB commands. might be just better off starting again from fresh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RMarkwald:
Unlocked / rooted mine right after I got it. Wipes it (the unlocking part), but it was easy, but I'm pretty good with adb and fastboot. Give it a try, there seems to be a bunch of one click tools out now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sm_x:
this method seems to implement security vulnerability in android to escalate user privileges and install super user.

So this method is not an automatic version of the regular (boot unlock using fastboot), meaning it skips the whole wipe after unlock requirement.

anyway, I am gonna try it when I get home and report results.

one question -- does this ROM support 4G when using the wi-fi tether mode?

i love the AOSP v43 but hate that it switches back to 3G whenever i use the tether.

No idea, all I have are maguro and crespo. Please someone let me know ;-)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
It would be a first. No rom has had 4g tether natively.

°•neXus S4G•°
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] info[]box1:
I don't believe so.. I have yet to find a rom that does that. I heard the Wi-Fi tethering app v2.0.7 does.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] formula84:
Thanks for the 4g support, question there was a mod for the lock screen I seen over @ rootzwiki Galaxy nexus forum, it adds phone and messaging to lockscreen. Any chance you could look to bring this to our phones?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] info[]box1:
4g works just fine and I'm loving this rom right now. Yeah yeah love at first sight. Been running for bout 10 mins and smooth sailing. Let me rough it up a bit and see if she loves me in the morning.

If I backup Trebuchet's data with Titanium, upgrade to the new one via the method listed above, and then restore it to the new version, will I still lose my icon setup?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] forumsid987:
Good idea...if you have the time, Nandroid and test it?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] funcrusher:
Update? :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rimmir:
Sorry for the late reply, I'll get to the Trebuchet thing in an hour or so and post the results.

On a separate not, is anyone else having issues with the built-in "Portable Hotspot" not working? USB tethering is working fine, but if i try to use Portable Hotspot, I can't see the wireless network on any device that I try to connect to it with, even though the phone tells me it's broadcasting. (I'm currently on v1)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigxie:
Update is building right now. I've merged in all the latest commits to Trebuchet from CM, so it now has those animations.

Should be finished in an hour or so.

As always, wipe dalvik and cache coming from a previous build. Flash gapps immediately after ROM. Enjoy!

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] neo_x22000:

Also having issue with transparent Widgets and icons, happens when I go from drawer to home screen. If I go into trebuchet settings and leave it, everything returns.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blu8503:
I only wiped cache before install
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rimmir:
Blu8503 has got it nailed down: if I exit from the app drawer to home screen all the icons on the pages other than the one I'm on become transparent (I'm using the default trebuchet settings)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigxie:
Oh dear, I can now recreate the issue after wiping my Trebuchet data (on both my Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus).

Looking for a solution ASAP, thanks for bringing it up!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] b1time:
I wonder is the issue exist with the nova launcher?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigxie:
No, it's an issue with the latest updates to Trebuchet source.

Here's the workaround:

Go into Trebuchet Settings -> Homescreens -> Check the box called 'Fade Side Pages'

will make a note of it in the OP.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] raiderep:
I was having this issue too and nova works fine. Glad to hear of the work around, I was wondering what that fade setting was for...anyway nice work love the rom so far.

great modifications to stock rom. perfect. I would like to make a suggestion, is it possible to make the menu less cluttered with all those setting adjustments? Like can they be put into one row called Rom Customization idk. :) Hidden gem rom for sure.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigxie:
Unfortunately, the bug exists in the Trebuchet source code which was updated earlier today (which I synced before compiling this build).

The only two options right now are to use the workaround and wait for the bug to be fixed, or to revert to the version from build 2 (which lacks some features).

I prefer the newer features (transitions are subtle, but a nice touch), and the workaround is actually really easy.

So, I will keep an eye on the Trebuchet project, and as soon as a fix is found, I will compile an update.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] akabadnews:
It has to be checked in Display settings as well as Trebuchet settings I believe.

If it's not checked in Trebuchet or vice versa it will not work. Figured that out when I was on Alpha 20.

This ROM is pretty great. A few improvements from Alpha 20. What I found strange was, after wiping data/cache/dalvik... and blah blah, once I re-setup my stuff I still had the same wallpaper I was using on Alpha 20.

Instead of the ROM switching wallpapers to a default like they usually do when you flash a new one. Not an issue or bug or anything, just unexpected.

I can't mount my phone as a USB storage device in build 3. With USB debugging on or off, I get the same thing. When I connect it to the computer, this:

I installed Android Sync Manager Wifi as a temporary workaround, but I don't like it very much.

Edit: Not sure what happened, but I tried again right after I posted this and it connected. But then I unmounted, disconnected, and tried again, and back to the same thing. Had no problems at all in Build 2. Seems like I need to wait a lot longer after connected it to turn on USB storage or it doesn't work.

Anyone noticed that if you lock your phone rotation when it's horizontal, you can pretty much use the whole phone, including lock-screen, sideways? Pretty cool :D

Horizontally, the unlock option opens the camera instead, and the camera option doesn't do anything (if the quad-option is on, then unlock opens the phone and messaging opens the camera, while the phone and camera options don't do anything)
