I have a question... why does the Camera not work in CM9? It works in CM7 for the 5.0. Will it be fixed in the next release?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rafa6571:
Cm7 camera hasnt relation with cm9 camera... One is GB and the other is ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rapydax:
I think the kernel is the problem in the Camera issue. So we have to wait for kernel 3.0 for the camera (and chrome browser) to work. At least, that's my guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] wellwhy:
When are we going to see a version for 4.0? I have waited weeks and no update on any of this in the actual thread and messages. This is probably irritating for developers, so sorry for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
Wat
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rapydax:
There is already CM9, although it has some buggs.

Btw we've all been waiting for weeks now and it's not that bad if you consider what the reward is at the end.

And if you're not patient enough, go build your own CM9 please. The dev's are working their a*ses of to get this done. So a little bit more respect.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] shahrukhraza:
I know somebody already said this but is anyone else having problems for videos on the browser?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kekx:
Yes, i also have problems with videos, flash player loads but the movie player doesnt show...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rafa6571:
If u really need ICS ask samsung for it... They're the only one with the obbligation to do it... Developers make a lot for free and we must be thankful for that ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] wellwhy:
I am only trying to see if anybody is working on this, and it seems I also have people waiting, i'm not trying to push the devs, and I have tried to build CM9, but I couldn't seem to boot it.

Any news with the Camera/FM radio?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Dear dev,

Unfortunately I have fallen victim to a hard brick. If you can kindly provide your rom with bootloaders that would be of extreme helpfulness. Thank you in advance.

-EcHoFiiVe
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cleve321:
FM radio don't work with it....unless Samsung can make ics for us or something
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
What happens? Anything?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Well to other users, nothing. But to me, it can recover my Galaxy Player. There are rare chances when I can go into CWM and do stuff there such as install zips and stuff and if your next update has bootloaders, then it can most likely save my galaxy player. It would really mean a lot to me if you can do that, no one has the correct bootloaders/rom with bootloaders to recover my Galaxy Player/:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
I'll pull mine when I get home tonight. What were you doing that messed up the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Well since there are still people that haven't gotten Tablet Mode yet, I said that I would do it myself. So I started flashing thnigs, looking at what doesn't work and I flashed a Tablet Mode ROM from another Samsung phone and sadly.... It had bootloaders. So I tried to reboot and it didnt boot at all... But thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
Bootloader for the US Galaxy Player 5.0 only!

Here http://www.mediafire.com/?h07i1bdp0z9rxbd

Read directions! I took every partition's block that could be the bootloader and packaged them. The only way to know for sure is to flash all of them. I included directions for how to do so via adb in clockwork
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
Saw you thanked me. Did it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:

Thanks but I'm not new here. I've already tried that but no luck. Thanks anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
Doesn't matter which os. Just need adb :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] apapousek:
Have you tried flashing the bootloaders via heimdall? It's worked very well for me in the past.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
I heard Heimdall doesn't work with Windows or Galaxy Player

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

If I have a clockworkmod backup on my computer, does the backup have bootloaders?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Chris4evernoob:
If you have hard brick how does it turn on?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Heimdall does work. To enable it, enter download mode and plug your device. Download heimdall and run zadig.exe and then install drivers and retry heimdall again. I think ambrose compiled it to make it compatible for galaxy player.

EDIT: ambrose's heimdall is only for linux -__-

How's the 3.0 Kernel coming along my friend?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrjaredbeta:
Just about to say the same thing, but I do not intend on rushing you.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
I'm not rushing him. I asked about the progress not for an ETA -_-
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
Ehh I took a break this week but got back into it tonight for a bit. Gonna work on it tomorrow too in the morning. Not sure what is happening though because I haven't gotten a boot with the 3.0 kernel or even a log to see what's failing so it's tough :/
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
Well good luck sir:)

I will be leaving ics for a little while. I miss my camera and stuff like touchwiz. I shall return when the 3.0 kernel is complete:)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Well I havent had any success with recovering my Galaxy Player so until there is a method of reviving it that is easier for me, I will be off the forums.. If anyone can provide me with everything/a way of how they recovered from a hard brick, PM me please. Thanks, and see you guys later!

edit: I fixed it:D patiently waiting for the new kernal, good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rafa6571:
Well, I have a question... Why the 3 points to the right doesnt show on navigation bar on our galaxy's?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jayydude_SGP:
It does on the AOKP ROM ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rafa6571:
When the developer ports the newest builds of aokp i'll use it... I'm loving it on my tf101. Best ics room ever
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] shahrukhraza:
The dots come on mine...and if you use the reloaded ics mod you could make it better.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rafa6571:
I'm using the reloaded ics mod but since i've installed cm9 the dots are upside with the apps no on the nav bar... Can u upload an screenshot where it shows?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] shahrukhraza:
but the thing is im out of cm9 (till kernel 3.0). but maybe you completely took out the dots from reloaded ics. there are features like auto-hide, making it always there, and completely taking it out. sorry i cant take the screenshot but maybe you could check our settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] heat361:
Hi JackpotClavin how is the 3.0 kernel coming along? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Chris4evernoob:
The 3.0 kernel will come when it's ready. No need to have several posts about this every page of this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] apapousek:
I hate to have to post this in almost every Dev thread I see.

Hello All,

Welcome to the Dev section. Do you know what that means? It means we don't want your "OMG!" posts. Feedback is nice, but asking when something will be done, how to do something, etc., should be asked in the General / Q&A. If you're having a problem (non-ROM related) don't ask it here. This is a place for Development (Amazing, isn't it?), not for stupid questions.

@Jackpot. Does this have a custom kernel for CM9, or are you using Entropy's? If there has been any modification to it, you may want to post sources.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] tcb4:
Loving the rom. Seems to run pretty smooth aside from the fact that I will get a black screen for a second during the middle of some games. Thank you for what you have done so far and I can't wait until the kernel 3.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zayin101:
Nice.. this rom looks sweet! My Gnex and Tab 8.9 have been getting all my attention lately.. poor 5.0 player has been cold and lonely haha.. DL'ing now.

Edit: Hmm gapps didnt work first time like was noted in the OP.. rebooting and trying again...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
Well I'm close to giving up. I've made no progress with getting the 3.0 kernel booting. I can't even see what's failing because I can't get a log as the USB isn't initialized so I'm working blind. Anybody have any input for me?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cleve321:
Do you have an idea on whats failing? or causing the kernal not to boot?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
Not a clue
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrjaredbeta:
When you first talked about the 3.0 kernel, you said that you already had it running with the camera half-working and no hesitation in the menus. How did you get it to boot in the first place?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
That was the stock kernel with the PVR drivers from 3.0. It was only a piece of the 3.0 kernel, I can't get the whole thing :/
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrjaredbeta:
Well, don't just give up yet. Try to run through all of your work to see if you have anything wrong that you could see, a lot of people are counting on you. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rafa6571:
Anybody mentioned that some developers port Hardware acceleration to kernel 2. Maybe we need to contact them
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Do you think you can at least give us the PVR Drivers? By the way, they have Tablet Mode now in AOKP Roms! Maybe you should try implementing that into your next update perhaps? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Ace42:
So are you back porting the 3.0 kernel features, or porting 2.x features to 3.0 kernel?

If it's the latter, can you take segments from similarly spec'd devices and then add in the components specifically for the Player(s)?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] exodus454:
There has to be a way to do this! Other kernel devs have gotten around such problems in the past. We either need to find the answers, or find some people who might have some insight.

I forget exactly what it is, but could setting up the SDK from google be useful? I think I was reading somewhere that there's some piece of software that emulates a hardware device on your computer so you can test stuff more effectively. Would such software enable you to get the logs you need?

I'm willing to help and do some legwork to sorting these issues out, maybe others would be willing to join me?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] apapousek:
Questions:

1. Which 3.x kernel are you using. If you're actually using 3.0, I recommend trying 3.3.5. They've been slowly re-integrating many Android kernel code bits back into mainstream, which may make porting easier.

2. What toolchain are you using for compilation for the kernel? Codesourcery?

3. Are you just working with drivers, or are you looking at other kernel pieces?

4. Regarding question 3, which directories are you working with?

With this info, I may start poking around a bit. I love compiling code.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JackpotClavin:
I'm using 3.0 from the nexus s which has the same board as the galaxy player. I'm not giving up yet, I'm gonna keep trying
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rafa6571:
Hey JackpotClavin cm9 theme chooser is out. Can we have it in a little update?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
+1
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] apapousek:
Let's take a look at what's wrong with this post.

1. He said no ETA.

2. He said he was having kernel issues.

3. If you look at the first post, it's still the 3 31 ROM.

So the answer would be no, of course not.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] heat361:
@Jackpot I contacted teamhacksung and they said they could not help if the 3.0 kernel did not boot,however they did say to try porting over the mach-aries part which is s5pv210. hope this helps

Edit: I don't know if any of this could be used for the kernel

no ETAs, not rushing anyone but I was curious if this project is still going since I haven't seen a reply post in a while! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
I am a bit curious myself. I have been using this rom for a while now and have been looking forward to 3.0 kernel development. I know it's a LOT of work and sure appreciate the efforts but since there are other ICS roms starting to pop out, I am starting to get curious and tempted to try out something else. They certainly are carrying about the same CM9 issues as this rom but... and I am not the type to just flash this and flash that just for the fun of it either. I rather find a rom that I like and is very stable and stay with it.

If the development of this rom has stopped (I hope not), please let us know...

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rapydax:
JackpotClavin,

Is there no way that you can add the hardware acceleration to this ROM, so at least chrome will work?

That's what you said. You experimented and got chrome workig and the camera a bit.

Thanks in advance ;)

are we still working on the ics camera and bluetooth because i need camera for somethings on school. so if i can't use it i can't allways have the ics rom :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Ace42:
The Camera & BT drivers don't exist for ICS, we must wait for Samsung to release ICS for this device so that those features will function...Or we can see if a Dev can reverse engineer the Gingerbread drivers, but the latter is improbable at the very least.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] omaroe666:

I don't think samsung will release ICS for the 5.0 we need to mod the libraries.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] pmdisawesome:
Yup, even the GT-I9000 doesn't have an ICS update! Samsung's focus are on the Note and the S2 and there tablets.

So I don't think an ICS update are coming to us. But I do hope I am wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
It sucks! I didnt bought device that samsung left it after less than a year :mad:

Next time i think i will buy apple product im having a bad experience with android and samsung right now...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] pmdisawesome:
No offense, but with the same price like an iPhone 4S right now, you can buy a Note or an S2, which is one of the best Android experience and way better than the closed-source iPhone
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
I dont like iphone but that is one thing it is much much better then android..everobody got updates..i have android tablet ,android smartphone and this android samsung player all come out less then a year and i bought it all in last 6 months and no one will have android 4.0 witch came out 6 months ago..that is so so stupid and for that reason makes me gona buy apple..google came out with google chrome and they require android 4.0 witch onlu 2-3% of android devices have..whow stupid is that...like safari only works on 3% of iphone and ipads..

Just to be clear, no matter what, even you gonna pay me for, I will never do that mistake ever again and buy an Apple product. Steve Jobs R.I.P was arrogant and so is the entire agenda of Apple, and I can't stand it.

Anyway, it's very disappointing to hear the bad news that ICS can't be ported to the Galaxy player family.

The fact that the XDA devs can't make a stable ROM for this device somewhat makes Samsung untrusted

I am afraid Samsung's gonna lose the PDA world (probably for the sake of iPod, which I dumped).

Hope this status is to be changed.

Thank you very much xda gurus for all the effort in trying to make a ROM!!! As I said I still hope there will be a ROM for this device
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] apapousek:
Welcome to Dev. Furthermore, welcome to Android Dev. This is a thread for development, not for you whining about how much you looove Apple. Android people in Dev usually don't care too terribly much about official releases. One exception is to get drivers, etc.

Now tell me, on your iDevice, can you compile & flash custom kernels? Can you tweak any little bit you want. Can you make perfect backups? No, didn't think so. Now, shut up and get out of Dev.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] apapousek:
Even though I mis-read slightly, it doesn't take away from the validity of my point. There's no "let's all be nice" policy. There is a policy on keeping the forums organized, though. I would be glad to have all my posts deleted that aren't prevalent to the development at hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] shahrukhraza:
i wonder what jackpot would say if he saw this thread of his........
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
If we are a community, aren't we supposed to be nice and supportive of each other?

I understand that the post about apple was irrelevant, but a simple and polite 'lets keep this thread on topic' would have been enough. There was no need to be rude and tell him to get out of dev.

As I'm a dev (or at least trying to be one), I can understand that it gets annoying when people post totally irrelevant things on my release thread. But it's better to just ignore them and continue with whatever you're doing. There is no need to be a police around these forums and flame everyone who posts in the wrong section. I've been noticing that you, apapousek, have been policing these forums with mean and rude retorts for people that post off topic or in the wrong sections. It is not helping our community and definitely not giving that sense of teamwork and cooperation. The easiest thing to do is just remind them politely so they don't do it again, and then tell a mod to move the thread or delete the post.

Remember, we are a community, and the spirit of xda is all about sharing, learning, and cooperation, not about flaming people. Please, let's just stop all the arguments and try to start helping one another. Besides, even the best devs around here have once been a noob at some point.

Okay, let's start keeping this thread on topic now.

I apologize. I've just seen too many forums go downhill fast because of lack of policing. I get carried away at times.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
Just ended up coming back to this rom. I tried all the other ICS roms for my player and although they offer few cool features, I couldn't handle the many crashes. I can't find a more reliable and stable rom than this at the moment. I hope this rom keeps being developed.

This by no means it's a knock on the fantastic work the other devs are doing. l just seem to prefer the rock stable nature of this rom right out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dstarfire:
Where to get the source?

Is the source for this rom available? If so, where can I find it? I didn't see a link in the original post.

Finally, is the built-in media player open source, and where can I get that (if it's not part of the rom's source)? It's got a couple of annoyances that should be fairly easy to remove.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:

Anyone having problems charging while the Player is off?

I'm shutting it down to charge it, and while plugged in, it keeps blinking with an empty battery symbol...anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] benbaptist:
I have this issue as well. Try charging it with a USB wall adapter, that worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dstarfire:
That's just the usual bootlooping that happens whenever you try to startup the device while it's connected to a computer. It should still be able to charge the battery, though.

However, as Ben mentioned, this problem doesn't occur if you connect the usb port to one of those usb-wall outlet adapters (my 5.0 came with one, as I recall).

Maybe this insight will help devs track down the source of the bootlooping issue.
