It'd be better if tablet mode can be implemented. It just bridges that gap between phone and tablet for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] joshbeitler:
Is it possible to enable the phone app?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
I doubt it'd be needed. You can set the grooveip dialer as the native one tho:)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] joshbeitler:
Wouldn't be needed, but I hear grooveip can be used through the native dialer and plus, the native dialer is prettier.

Science is not about why, but why not!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
Maybe if he does a sudo phone hack you can download something like ex dialer in the market and get the ics theme
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
I'm going to give it a shot:)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] joshbeitler:
Dialer

sudo phone hack? Hmmm.... Is that the only way?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
I believe so. It enables the player to trick apps into thinking it's a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] joshbeitler:
How do you do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
lol I honestly have no clue. Meticulus did it in his ROM but he stopped dev'ing for the Players due to unappreciation. But he helps people with it so maybe JackPotCalvin can get some help from him?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rapydax:
I believe eng_matt also managed to do the sudo phone hack. He got whatsapp and viber working on his ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
So I've requested some help on the whole tablet mode thing from that thread someone posted on here. Hopefully I accomplish this mission :D So be patient my allies we shall have 5in tablets soon ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] tradeJmark:
So what should I do if I still want to use the FM Radio or access the videos? Also, I liked the old music app better.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] joshbeitler:
You should stop whining and understand that such things probably won't be here for a while.

To access videos, I believe you just go through the gallery app.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
Tablet modeeee!!! Woooo-hoooo!!!!!!

Gotcha >:D Kidding, okay so I've gotten instructions on how to get our devices in tablet mode. So I have to do some calculations, decomiling, and pushing. I'll report back with my results. If I need help I'll post my questions :D We should be in tablet mode by tonight tho ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Honkel:
What is a Tablet Mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rapydax:
"WHAT IS TABLET MODE

a hidden gem under the hood of ICS. if android thinks your DPI is big enough it will switch to tablet automatically. you will get alot of space since the navigationbar and the statusbar are combined. many apps will transform and be quite useful. after having seen the new gmail, 3d youtube, camera which has a thumb-flicking mechanism, settings in which you'll never get lost, etc., i doubt that you'd want to go back."

Tonight in where u live or tonight according to XDA's preset time zone?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Thank you so much! I was the one that had originally requested this, if you get this to work I'd love to test it out!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
Where I live. It's 4:35pm at the momentous amigo:)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
I'm getting somewhere. I haven't got it to transform but with system II force closing I know I'm getting closer to the transformation :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
Okay it seems that 129 is the smallest DPI our devices can handle. So if tablet mode triggers with number less than 600 and the largest is 320 what is OUR tablet DPI number????? >_<
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rueben_:
My Touchpad ran CM9 at 132 dpi but had "tablet mode" working at 160 dpi ? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
I need someone who DOESNT have a navigation bar to set their DPI to 128 and see if it transform. I think me having a navigation bar is causing system UI to FC.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
+ 1

I wish i knew how to do it...

I really need whatsapp!

Hope he will help us about this thing...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] YoBob:
The lowest I went down to was 120 dpi.

I think asking the guys with the AOKP rom would be more beneficial as their from is able to make nav bar disappear.

Or I could try for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rapydax:
You don't need it per se.

Just back-up your whatsapp, contacts and contacts storage using Titanium Backup.

Install Root explorer pro and go to /data/apps and long-press on whatsapp. Then select 'send' to dropbox.

Flash any new ROM you want, like ICS and install gapps if needed. Download dropbox and download the whatsapp app you just uploaded to dropbox.

Then open titanium back-up (should still be there if you chose to back-up your market account with your installed apps). And restore the files for whatsapp, contacts and contacts storage.

Now open whatsapp and do the process of loggin in and it may ask for re-verification. Then you should have your contacts there. You only lost the names though, so you only see phone numbers.

I tried to export contacts to sd-card then import into ICS, but i wasn't able to do so.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Um I don' t wanna sound like a noob here, but what's the nav bar???
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rueben_:
The bar at the bottom of the Nexus phone. Native to ICS roms but mostly turned off. I high lighted it in red. On tablets its bigger and has the time on instead of being at the top :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
I'm on 129 system UI doesn't fc. 128 it does. Now if I can get you to try it for me that'd be great:) so I dont have to flash a completely different rom.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus Player Tab ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] YoBob:
I actually flashed back to AOKP from CM9 to try. And right now im booting into 128 and it's saying System UI has stopped.

EDIT: So transformation is crap. I only got Play Store and Play Music functionally properly as tablet apps, with every other app distorted in phone form.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
Same here. I forgot to flash gapps. I'm doing so right now. I'm guessing 128 is the number we just need a framework.apk from a tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
If I can get the framework.apk from a Galaxy Nexus running Tablet mode, would that be good? Or can't you look for an ICS rom of an Asus tablet? I forgot the name of the tablet...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
The galaxy nexus or galaxy tab should be good.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Okay so you don't really need anything, do you?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] YoBob:
Tried and tried, but still only getting those gapps functioning as tablet apps. There are some new apps I discovered working in tablet mode, such as Engadget, Google Play Books, Super user etc
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Can you please explain how you got into tablet mode? I tried setting my dpi to 129 but still nothing.. Please explain?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] YoBob:
Its not really tablet mode as I can't get the setup to be like that on the ICS tablet. What happened after changing the dpi to 129 was that some apps changed into tablet mode .
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
Well I want the bottom status bar and ics buttons :/

Is *that* the sudophone hack?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] marcusmarcus:
I have this ROM installed on my International 5.0. I tried using the same kernel I used with the prior alpha build in the other thread but I was not able to get the physical home button to work. I installed the softkey package and that seems to work. I do notice the soft keys are covering the keyboard that others mentioned. I also noticed that when I am on the home screen, the soft keys don't give me the menu button. Other than that it works very nicely so far. Even without hardware acceleration it seems fairly smooth. Keep up the good work.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] shahrukhraza:
do i HAVE to erase all the data? cuz i already went into a bootloop some other time and it wasn't pleasant downloading every single app again. but i really want ics :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rapydax:
I thought you were on erygitts rom that was able to run whatsapp correctly. If you want to flash a new ROM that cant run whatsapp correctly (i.e. not identifying) follow the steps i just wrote. You have to be on the erygitts ROM. But first make a CWM back-up if you are not yet using erygitts ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cfultz:
Confirmed working! Awesome job! I wonder how long it's gonna take for someone to get the camera, hardware acceleration, etc working! GOOD START!

Ohh ok.. Its a little problem for me because my computer is broken.

Do you have the whatsapp files from erygit rom So i will install it on my player?

Thanks for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rapydax:
Try downloading whatsapp apk from xda on your Galaxy Player.

But you have to back-up your contacts list yourself, becuase I obviously have different contacts than you do.

Hey I got an idea? Maybe JackpotClavin and tnsrua2000 should combine their ROMs? + the Tablet mode from Jayydude?

- You (Jack) have the stable ROM and more complete + soft buttons.

- tnsrua2000 has Google Music Play, Beats audio, sony bravia engine, xloud and V6 Super Charger

- Jayydude with his awesome tablet mode which is currently being worked on.

Profit??

Does a AOKP ICS ROM count as a 'previous ICS ROM'?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] marcusmarcus:
Noisyfox's kernel and home button patch version 2 found here allows the physical home buttons on the International 5.0 to work with this ROM. I think you should put a link to his kernel/patch in the first post and change this thread to USA & INTL.

Keep up the good work to all you devs that are making my awesome Galaxy Player awesomer!

Edit: also using this kernel/patch allows me to overclock my device to 1.2Ghz usings CM9's built in processor settings.

How can you write with so small buttons? I changed to 129 dpi and everything became really small.

I couldn't write with the keyboard because the buttons were so small
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rapydax:
I think it's possible.

How's the tablet mode going on btw? I tried to change the dpi on the AOKP ROM to 129 and it was fine. But I couldn't rotate my screen, even if I tried it on apex or go launcher. I'm sure I've checked the button to rotate screen automatically. Also off, then back on, but no succes.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
It doesn't work in landscape mode on the homescreen. But every where else it does I'm trying to get JackpotClavin to modify apex launcher for me like someone has done for the galaxy nexus. And I'm only in semi tablet mode. Only gapps and certain apps are in tablet mode so I switched back into phone mode for the time being. Do you have the bottom status bar?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rapydax:
Jack I think you forgot to post the noicyfox patch for INTL users for the hardware button on the first post.

Also if I want to modify this ROM with Notepad++. Can I just get the source of this ROM at github and start modifying? I'm going to read some guides on how to change/modify ROMs. But I have to make a start somewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
Very nice!!! Thank you.

As mentioned by OP, I had to flash the Gapps twice for it to work.

I own an INT 5.0 and the noisyfox patch works good... but I had to flash that twice as well... the first time with the rom flash (didn't take) so had to flash the second time and it works great!

I flashed the cm9 wifi fix I found on a different thread and now the wifi bar is showing blue activity icons...

Also, this might be old news to everyone (news to me... hehehe), but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this rom is a ICS 4.0.4 build... Very cool...

Thanks again.

1 thing I noticed so far is that when surfing the Internet with the default browser I get a "connection problem: The connection to the server timed out." when I let it sit on a page for a few seconds. Does this on multiple websites. I haven't tried a different web browser yet. I have an International version of the player with noisyfox's kernel/patch. I installed the wifi fix in another thread that cvcduty just mentioned and it still gets that message. I can click OK and continue viewing the webpage though.

I have the INTL version of the player...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] glenb77:
do you have a card in the memory slot; it sees that as the 'sdcard' and if you don't have one in, apps will not install

can you make on the next release of this Tom that videos on the browser will work?

I'm watching a lot of videos on my browser but right now with this release of this rom I can't watch over the videos...only in YouTube...

I will be so grateful if you will fix it on the next release!

Oh and one more thing,I fell that in this rom the touch quality is lower that I had before I installed this rom.

Idk if it just me or if it something that you can fix.

If you can fix it will be great

download an APK of an out-of-date software like Google Voice (just search for "google voice apk") and install it. now turn off and on the auto updates in Play Store. reboot or something and let the software try to update it automatically. this worked for me every time.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
I had this some problem for a while too. What fixed it for me was that I had to kill different processes so the android.media would have enough room to continue the download.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rapydax:
When I open my ES file explorer now it says it's in /sdcard.

But it is actually the external excard it's showing. I meant to replace emmc by (internal) sd-card, not external sd-card.

Is this fixable?

Thanks in advance.

Also. I find it weird that this CM9 doesn't ask me if I want to resotre my market apps, when I flash this ROM for the first time.

While on the AOKP ROM it asks me if I do want to restore my backed up market apps.

Anyone know if its safe to format my /emmc since the apps go to /sdcard ?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
/emmc is your external sdcard. You can safely format that card.

Thanks a lot. My games and music weren't gonna fit on my 8 gb card.:D

I'm also getting a 32 gb card as a long term investment so in the future i won't have to buy 16gb devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rapydax:
How do you format emmc to internal sd card?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Chris4evernoob:
1) Win7 : Open Windows Explorer and right click on the internal drive (should be the first of the two if you have sd inserted). Click format. It should work (I exited before it finished and i completely lost /emmc)

2) CWM : Boot into recovery. Go to "mounts and storage" and select "format /emmc"

Ok so i can now confirm that formatting through cwm recovery works perfectly. It erases everything though you'll find a "LOST.DIR" and a "boot.txt"

The win7 method is useless because you should have cwm anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rapydax:
Do i lose my data, music and pbotos? Please tell me i wont?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Chris4evernoob:
You loose EVERYTHING that was on the drive you formatted (in this case /emmc)

I backed up everything to my computer and then sorted out the useful stuff i would put back. The games and other app stuff IF you are still using them can go to /sdcard

EDIT : if you didn't backup your stuff try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.undelete&hl=en. I can't guarantee it will work though. Seems to work only is you delete and not format completely

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
Hasn't stopped, I've just been on spring break :-) back now, gonna get cracking on this 3.0 kernel this week so we can have full hw acceleration. The CM7 camera doesn't have anything do do with the CM9 ICS camera sadly :-[ we need a camera wrapper written for our cameras (shouldn't be that different from the aries line)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
Well I ported the pvr drivers from the Nexus S ICS kernel to our our kernel and used the new pvr libraries in our kernel which came with the Nexus S and it's a pretty big improvement. With just the pvr drivers, I had working Chrome, the camera somewhat worked, and we were able to utilize OpenGL unlike before so the device was virtually as smooth as the Galaxy Nexus. There was no hesitation when opening the app drawer, scrolling was silk smooth, and there were no jagged edges when scrolling to the end of the home screen or the app drawer. It's probably the biggest move in the right direction since our first boot (still no Netflix, I was surprised that this didn't work) but the device performed slow without the actual 3.0 kernel advancements since I only used a small portion of the 3.0 kernel :/ but we're getting there. Gonna get cracking on porting this 3.0 kernel full time to the device :-)
