For the G70 - Not sure if this is possible. I9100 vs I777 would be easy, this - not so much.

In my opinion, the easiest would be to have the CWM firmware not contain the kernel - just state that it must be flashed from RJ's or mine.

In that case, being CWM-flashable ensures compatibility with the kernel, since any 5.0 kernel that contains CWM should be compatible with the system firmware.

R5 beta now available!

- Wifi geolocation working...

- USB Tethering...

- deviceid hack.

Let me know how it goes! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] eng_matt:
- USB Tethering...

I used for usb tethering samsung galaxy s ı9000, setting.apk :) and worked .

Did you use the same method?

Good work. :)

Bug found

Once in a while my device will stop and just freeze then re-start when I am going to move a shortcut around on my home screen or in any other screen. Right as it selects the item to move, it crashes pretty much. I am downloading your beta version right now. I can't wait until all of the bugs are fixed. Thank you for this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Let me know if this continues with R5 beta and I will see if I can reproduce this issue...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dunca123:
This seems to happen after I install an app. I am on the app. screen holding the app. I want to move then it crashes and restarts. I did this on R4 and your betaR5.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
I have not been able to reproduce this issue. Try rebooting to CWM and doing a factory reset/wipe and see if that resolves it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SkipKelley:
R5 Beta looking good.

No problems noted. Very smooth and working well. Do you plan to put in USB OTG Support? Not a problem if you don't having a 32 gb sim card, but nice to have has I can put all my movies on it and watch on this or my phone, so I get twice the battery life.

So have you started looking at ICS for this yet or possibly doing so?

SK
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dunca123:
Nice work!

I will do that when you release your R5 "non-beta" As of now I will just deal with it. I am loving the USB Tether you have put on this. I am uploading this using that fancy feature. :) It was plug and play for me pretty much. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop ant it works flawlessly. I am also glad you fixed the Application widget. That too also works well. Maybe you could release separate ROMs for different color themes, or add that an option for the ROM. Green is fine with me. I also noticed all of the extra accents and eye candy to match the green. Keep it up. I have officially chosen to never go back to the original ROM. I added a screnshot of my desktop to show what it looks like tethered.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Qwerty9736:
I noticed that some of my pre-installed apps were missing. i havent done a full check yet and also i didnt back up anything because i didnt expect anything bad to happen. Any way to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Or you can just download from market.

Love the new video. :D

The rom is great do you think you could port ics on this device :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jesse6749:
I have been running this since the day you released it and so far I have yet to run into any issues, very fast and smooth!!!:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
I have discovered a fix for the "paypal" and "Whatsapp" apps and they will be included in R5!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dunca123:
OMG!!!

It took me a few good minutes to figure out what the heck was going on with that annoying crash. Doing what you said was a no-go. So I flashed the dam thing to original everything, like out of the box. Then I flashed your Beta and WOW! You added a new keyboard!!! Swipe and all. I did not get this when I flashed it at the beginning. I am so happy, you have no idea!!! Thank you so so much!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Did you figure out what was causing it to crash or get it resolved?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
R5 is now available!

-deviceid hack(fixes serveral apps)

-sudophone hack/partial implemetation...(helps phone related apps)

-various ui fixes

-landscapemode in homescreen has been dropped to fix widgets.

-Swype keyboard added.

-fixed google maps api dependency for some apps.

NOTE: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS HAVE CHANGED AND ROM NO LONGER INCLUDES A KERNEL.

Update: Damn, I just noticed there is a typo in the usb notification :o

Let me know how it goes...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dunca123:
I think it may have been using Busybox... Seems as when I uninstall it, everything works fine, but then I restart my device and I have to keep uninstalling Busybox each restart. With your new ROM I am going to stay clear of Busybox and see what happens. I am flashing it right now, with your new directions. Thank you a lot for this ROM!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dunca123:
It is working great! I no longer am having that issue and all seems well. Thank you very much for updating this ROM so fast. I appreciate it very much. I think I speak for everyone else too. I can only imagine what R6 is going to be like. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jesse6749:
Thanks Buddy!! :p:p - I just flashed this and so far everything including PayPal is working perfectly :D:D:D.

Let's play Tap Tap Revenge 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dunca123:
Hmmm

Still crashing. I have now completely gone back to stock, unrooted, re-rooted, flashed the most recent kernel, then flashed your ROM. I did factory resets in the processes as well. I will keep you informed. After I installed an app. form the market and grabbed it from the app. screen to place on a home screen it still crashed. :P Hope this solves all of my issues. I also noticed wen I accidentally synced my device w/Google it started downloading all of my apps. <this is with the stock ROM. Will yours do this in the future? Also there is an error installing the Samsung Mobile MTP Device driver. When I was at the stock ROM it installed fine. Only issues so far for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dunca123:
I have the same issue as before : P I believe that the launcher is force closing for some reason. As for now I just won't add apps that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Like I said, this does not happen on my player and no one else has reported any issues.

1. Do you know how to use adb, adb logcat? If the launcher is force closing, stack trace info will show in logcat. Watching the logcat is how I have fixed all the stuff in my ROM.

2. Do you know how to apply (Ghetto Lagfix)? My ROM comes as EXT4 but does not format the other partitions. There is a condition where partitions will say they are EXT4 but they are really not.

I hope we can get this figured out :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jesse6749:
I have been using Launcher Pro since I got my player and I had zero problems with it so far. Dunno if you may want to give that a try?

Good Luck!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
hey i just downloaded this rom and it is excellent!

but i have couple of requests:

1.please please please make it to support hebrew!all the words in hebrew are opposite like this is how the ward sohuld be written:ערוץ 10 and this is how it look like in the rom:01 ץורע

the hebrew language is written from the right side.

if instead hebrew letters you see some marks so here is the example in english

this is like it should be written:football.

and this is how you see it in the rom:llabtoof.

exactly like this just in hebrew letters.

2.the icon of the menu that scroll down is little annoying when you have couple of stuff there because you see the 2 icons one on the other so it will be great if you fix it.

but except for those thing the rom is great!

oh and sorry that i wrote so much
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
1. I will do my best to get hebrew working properly. I do not speak hebrew and do not know exactly how it should look, so I'll need you to test. I am assuming that google translate shows hebrew properly and I will use it to test as well.

Edit the file /system/build.prop and change:

ro.product.locale.language=he

ro.product.locale.region=IL

Then, reboot to CWM and do "data wipe/factory reset"

Make sure that you have gone through the locale settings and have set them properly.

We may also need to install hebrew fonts...

Please report what changes after this and note how much is english and where.

2. I will make this change in R6 ...

Let me know how it goes...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
ok just one more thing before i do it.

how can i backup my apps?i dont wanna download them all again.

and thanks for listening and for the help
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] turbanator:
Firstly, I'd like to say thank for a fantastic ROM, great work which is very much appreciated!

I think there's a problem with Google Contact syncing, I can't see a way to enable it. Same applies to Calendar. Is there a workaround for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Confirmed, looks like this is a result of this ROM being based on an international ROM that did not come with Gapps. I'll put this on the list for R6.

A possible workaround for this may be to flash Gapps. Then do a wipe. Check the tips section. Let me know if it works...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
this rom is fantastic!! keep it upp! eerything looks stable and it seemed to fix my after-brick problems as well! hoping to see r6 very soon!! also, chances of ics port anytime soon.....? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
there is a problem with the sync with twitter.

and how i backup my apps?

i want to do what you told me about the hebrew
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dunca123:
I used Go Launcher EX in the past, but i just wanted to give the original launcher a try.

Meticulus, I am just now trying to learn how to use adb, adb logcat. It is going to take some time. Any help would be greatly appreciated, but there is a lot of "stuff" to explain. Thank you for your suggestions. I am slowly moving forward to try and do things for Android...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
ok sorry that i post twice but i found 2 problems:

1.sync with twitter:i got a message "sync is currently experiencing problems.it will be back shortly."i didnt had this problem before i install the rom and i got the message long time i install twitter today something like 2pm or earlier.

so i will be glade if you fix it.

2.when i enter to samsung apps i got message error that say "no sim card.unable to launch application." and when i touch the ok button it get out from the app.

3.sorry that i write about that again but which app can backup my apps and my apps information?i want to do what you told me with the hebrew.

i really sorry that i mention this issue again.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Glad we got you back up and running...

You are not the first to ask about ICS so I'm going to take this time to address that question.

The answer is no for the following reasons.

I've only been experimenting with android for about 4 months.

ICS bringups are usually done by a whole team of people. I can count on 1 hand the people doing original work in this forum

No one has even successfully built CM7 for this device let alone CM9.

I alone do not posess the knowlege or skill neccessary to even get started.

Even if an I could get ICS to boot, there would most certainly be serious problems with it. If you take a look at the Atrix CM9 threads, you'll see that while CM9 runs, it has all sorts of problems. Don't get me wrong, I think it's amazing what those guys are doing but:

The camera doesn't work properly.

Their having battery drain problems

2d accelaration is not working properly.

Calls are getting cut off.

Even when they get to a final stable release, it is likely that the fingerprint reader and webtop will not even be included.

The only reason that device is even close is because there is an "Atrix" dev team and a "Photon" dev team. (both phones have similar hardware)

This device is not a phone, which means that special measures where taking to insure that the underlying phone framework code would not crash because there is no modem in the device.(adds another layer of complexity)

Trust me, If I thought I could do it, I would already be on it. In my opinion, it is unlikely that this device will ever see ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Confirmed.

Confirmed.

There is plenty of info on the internet and even in this forum about how to do backups. Please have a read :)

hello, I have flashed your ROM and so far it looks great. I have 5.0 international. I am having some issues though, it seems that the market website doesn't recognize my device so I can't download apps from my computer (perhaps because of the deviceid hack? I don't know). also, the game coin dozer isn't working as well. I have flashed erygit's rom before this and I haven't encountered these issues. can you help me out? thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
I was not able to reproduce the issue with the market, as you can see from the attached image the market website recognises my player and it is running R5.

I will check on the game and get back on that.

UPDATE: I was not able to reproduce any issues with "coin dozer" either, can you provide any more information about these 2 issues?

If any one else is having these issues please report them!

i had download it right now does it little stuck when you play it?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Hm it seems as though your rom does not want to play nice with UOT kitchen. Where can I get the twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk? I tried looking in /system but theyre not there and I justed my old twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk from the stock rom, which got me into a sort of bootloop, but reflashing your rom should do the trick. But you should look into the uot kitchen thing...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
/system/framework/framework-res.apk

/system/framework/twframework-res.apk

/system/app/SystemUI.apk

You can not use the files from the stock rom... I think it will work but I have not had time to test...

Let me know how it goes...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
i did what you said and now when i reboot i get all the time a short video with android coming up fro the ground and it doesnt stop!

what should i do? i bricked my player?

im freaking out!

edit:i read that it is bootloop how i fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Hmm nope it still won't work. The bootloop starts when the status bar says "Media Scanning". Then it turns off, turns back on a little bit after the stock boot image is shown, stays black for a while, then repeats. I did find the three files but it still wouldnt work.. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Please remain calm. The changes we made are superficial. Did you forget to boot to CWM and do the data wipe/factory reset?

You can always reflash the rom to fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
no, i bootes to cwm and did the wipe data thing...

why it should work what you told me?about the hebrew thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Please post your cooked uot kitchen files here and I when I have time I will try them and see what is causing the problem. For now, I will not that uot kitchen does not work with this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
I did this on my player and I checked some simple words against google translation to hebrew and the words appeared to be in the correct order.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
amm i can write normal wrods like in the market but the name of the apps is opposite.and the numbers are the opposite like 10,01(the thing with the numbers happen when i write and when i see the name of the app).

so i dont know if you tried to write words or something like that..
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
If you can not make the simple changes that I asked, then that is as far as I can go. If you can not help me, help you, then hebrew will not be supported.

I apologies, I am only doing the best that I can.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
I have discovered these workarounds for problems posted by users about R5

- Twitter contacts sync (official app).(use built in twitter contacts sync).

- Contacts sync with google.(flash gapps)

- Calandar sync with google.(flash gapps)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
u didnt understand me...

i asked when u saw that the hebrew is correct?you saw it with apps name?

i did what you said with an app that calld prop or something like, someone gave here a download in the thread about solving the games that not working on sgs player
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Perhaps you are correct. However I have investigated this matter and I have learned that proper hebrew language support would require more work, than I am willing to take on.

Every app would have to be decompiled, all strings in each would need to translated and then recompiled. This really needs to be done by someone who speaks both english and hebrew. For these reasons, hebrew will not be supported.

I recommend that you choose a rom that has proper hebrew support. Thank you for trying my ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kesongpinoy:
hello, coin dozer is working now for me, I don't know why it doesn't load before. as for the market website issue, I wonder if it has something to do with renaming my device in the market website before, when I was still using the eryigit rom? anyway, thanks for the response :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
and what if i translate?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
The problem with the market, is only when you are trying to download apps from your pc right? The market on the device works properly?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kesongpinoy:
yes that is correct. I can still download from the market using the device. Still, it is a pretty neat feature that I would miss. Anyway, I have found out that this is a pretty persistent issue among android devices, unfortunately, none of the fixes seem to work for my device
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
please if i will translate you will agree to do it?

by the way i fixed my bootloop
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Please stop asking, I already said NO. This rom does not support herbrew.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
ok...sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kesongpinoy:
will build.prop tweaks work on this rom? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:

Big thanks to Meticulus! Thanks to this ROM YP-G70 owners can use PDroid now!!

Just curious - would it make sense to include the patch that is required to run PDroid in the ROM so that users don't have to patch it after the fact? Definitely not complaining - at least I can patch it now that we have a deodexed ROM.

It seems like patching is a normal part of the installation of PDroid. I'm glad it works for you but I can not include the patch in the ROM. If you would like to create a post on how you patched it or a link with the files you patched, I'm sure others would appreciated it. I'll link the post in the FAQ section.

It is not my intention to create ill will, everyone now has permission to use whatever they want from my rom. However, I will not be working on it anymore.

I was proudest of the deviceid hack. As far as I know, no one else has ever done it. The deviceid hack should work on all non-phone Gingerbread devices and solves a fundamental problem with running Gingerbread on non-phone devices. The settings.apk in my rom required hours of recoding to remove the things that didn't work, such as the "no sim" icon, and "Mobile AP" in tethering. I also rewrote the code in the SystemUI.apk to make the mobile data icon open a browser along with hours of hunting to get rid of the "storage.Error", "Candidates", "Security policy" errors related to USB. These are just a few examples.

At this point, it does not matter. I'm done. If anyone else needs help implementing this stuff in their rom, let me know. The coding is framework specific and the files would most likely not work on anything but 2.3.6 but I should be able to help someone implement it in a 2.3.5 and I think it would work on the 4.0 as well.

I recommend that everyone use either eng_matt's rom here or for WT ho's rom here

This is all I have to say on the matter. Please remember to treat everyone with kindness and respect.
