Progress update

The changelog for 1.4.0 for both devices is as follows:

Updated CM9 base - 4.0 now based on Nebula

Added Samsung Galaxy SIII Style notification toggles

Added Samsung Galaxy SIII lockscreen weather icons

Added the option to choose between Google Now and ICS Google search in AROMA installer

Modified some menus in Settings

Added GMail from Android 4.2 as an add on app

Added the keyboard from Android 4.2

Replaced Root Browser Lite with Solid Explorer and added Disk Usage

Added new charging animation and implemented a 1% battery mod made by erpurohit (member of Team Remics)

Removed 'No Service' text from notification drawer

I've been testing our FTP server which is basically fully working now. We just need the ip address to be redirected to our website and we're good to go. The download time is insanely fast and downloads should work 95%+ of the time. There may be times when the server slows such as when there is a very high level of traffic. This can be caused by a new version of RemICS-JB being released for the GT-I9000, but we have a backup server which should mean that downloads are always available. I've finalised the latest build and 1.4.0 will be available as an ota update as soon as our ftp server is linked to our website which will hopefully be in the next few days

For the player 4.0, I've added aroma installer and I've sent it to zaclimon for testing. However, he reported that the touchscreen does not respond in aroma, so he compiled a new kernel. I believe hes going to test it soon so hopefully it works as going into recovery and back is a pain in the neck for you guys.

Also please remember that we pay for the ftp servers out of our own pockets and its not cheap. Please consider donating to us if you can, or instead you can click on some of the adverts on our site (www.team-remics.com). We're paying a quite a fair amount for a proper set of servers for the benefit you guys so please take a few seconds to help us out if you can. Thanks a lot

About the Choice between Google Now and ICS Google. What about those who already have the ROM installed like me. Will they get to choose?.

And by the way: Those Galaxy S3 Notification Toggles are sweet. Can't wait for the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Yes you will be able to choose between Google Now and ICS search.

The SIII notification toggles are about 80-85% complete at the moment. There are still a few toggles which need to be optimised. Also the SIII has a feature where when the notification drawer is opened, the toggles slide back to the beginning. I'm working on adding that feature to this rom, but it could take some time to do.

Also we've passed 2100 installations of RemICS-UX 1.3.4 (both player 4 and 5) which I'm pretty astonished by.

We've also set up some email address so you can contact me by sending an email to supermaster34@team-remics.com . I will still respond to PM's and in this thread, but this just gives you another way to contact me
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
meaning that for the 4.0, after the kernel and what not are all set, we wont need ODIN anymore?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Odin will still be required. The recovery bug has not yet been fixed by the 4.0 devs
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Karim.younus:
Wow. That's cool.

Also sorry for asking so many questions but will there be any speed improvements? Cause at the more when sliding between pages on the home screen its not as smooth as the app drawer which is as smooth as IOS. Is this just my device being slow or is it do with the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
Are the notification toggles for tablet mode as well as phone mode?

How do you use google now seeing as this device doesn't have a permanent data link? I'm not really sure how google now works but I assume that it tracks your whereabouts at certain times and makes predictions based on this, but as I'm mostly not connected is there actually any benefit in it? I noticed that you said you like it Supermaster - what does it do for you? Would installing the ics search instead save a lot of resources?

And finally, is the CM9 base for the 5.0 already up to date (ie no change in 1.4.0 for the 5.0)?

many thanks again Supermaster34 for an incredible ROM, I can't wait to upgrade to 1.4.0....
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
I've run a few benchmarks using CF-Bench and 1.4.0 seems to be a bit faster than 1.3.4, but not by too much. Also the home screen thing is to do with the launcher. Try using Apex Launcher which is also included in the rom

The toggles will only work in phone UI for now as the tablet UI uses a completely different notification drawer. I'll try and get the tablet ones working too.

Well I have Google Now on my Nexus 7 which is also wifi only. It still gives me enough information whenever I have a connection, and its basically a massively upgraded Google Search. However, it does use quite a bit of ram. I guess you could try using Google Now, and if you don't like it, you can remove it by reflashing the rom and selecting the ICS search in Aroma installer.

I have updated the CM9 base, but everything seems exactly the same to me so I didn't bother releasing an updated version of my CM9 rom. Development for CM9 has pretty much stopped so the change in the base from 1.3.4 to 1.4.0 is pretty minimal.

Also 1.4.0 will be available to download as soon as our ftp server is linked to our web domain. Once the server is connected, I'll upload the latest version which should only take about 15 mins, and the download is also pretty rapid now. I was able to download it in about 3 minutes compared to 20 mins + for the previous OTA updates
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] YoBob:
Will you also upload it as a stand alone download?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
Just one very minor point, I set my dpi to 128 and so am in tablet mode (which is great). When I look at the notification drawer the date is written over the time. Like I said, not a major problem but it does spoil the look of things a little - changing the font size doesn't fix it.

Is there any way to get it to display correctly?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
I also have a problem with incompatible apps in the market eg the kindle app says it is incompatible - is this a dpi issue or something else? (changing the dpi back to 240 doesn't fix it).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Tablet mode is not built into CM9, so I've had to hack it into the framework. This means that some things don't work fully, but I might be able to change the font size manually. Also I think I've worked out how to theme the tablet UI notification drawer to RemICS style, but that will probably be arriving in a version after 1.4.0 as I won't have time to do it any time soon.

If you change the dpi manually from the build.prop you can get some app incompatibility issues. Try using LCD Density Modder as this usually prevents apps from becoming incompatible.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] james59802:
I am dying to update to 1.4.0...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] YoBob:
We all are...

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
I'm dying to release it :p. It looks like the server will be linked to our site soon so the update should arrive before December, but don't use that as an absolute deadline
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
Oooh, sounds interesting, I'll look forward to trying these out when you've done them...

I did use LDM but it appears that you have to buy the pro version to get market compatibility.... The alternative seems to be installing a modded market... are these the only ways?

Now that I've started mucking about with the DPI, when I went back to 240dpi I found it to be a rather unpleasant experience.. Everything is so big and clunky, so I really need to fix this one way or another....
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iurnait:
Use rom toolbox to modify dpi. Just change back to 240 when you need apps
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] james59802:
On a side note the restarts during app management, is there a work around?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
No apps on external sd, use titanium backup to move them to internal storage.

Regarding the play store dpi issue, this modded play store seems to work nicely:

[MOD][ICS|JB][Inverted|Normal] Multi DPI Play Store v3.10.9

The OP from that thread says he is going to add a 'no update' and 'no restriction' mod to it too so that it won't break every time google updates the play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
OK guys I've noticed a small problem. The direct download link from our ftp server is only valid for 15 minutes before a new one is generated. This would mean that ota updates won't work. I'm currently working with our web Dev to come up with a way of getting direct links working. I'm hoping that this'd will be resolved by the weekend but I don't really know when we can get it fixed by.

Edit:

We've almost got the direct linking to work, but we have a few more bits to fix. I know that this update has been a long time coming, but the infrastructure changes we are making now will enable a much smoother update procedure in the future.

Edit 2:

The direct downloads work now so I'm just waiting for the DNS forwarding to start. Also I've had a look at the state of RemICS-UX as a whole and I reckon it needs a tidy up. Version numbers are wildly out of sync, so I'm proposing that the next version will be 2.0.0 and that all versions will be similar to each other. If anyone has ideas on this please post below
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:
How are things coming along? Having major flashing withdrawals;) patiently waiting for your new release and 4.2 on my sg3. Once this drops I'm gonna give Jt's inverted gapps a go on the cm9 base and see how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Well the ROM is almost finished, the server is almost ready to be linked to the DNS and I might be calling the next version 2.0.0. This is just so that versions are similar across different devices as currently only the 4.0 and 5.0 share a similar feature set. I'm also pretty annoyed that it's been over 2 months since the last release.

Also 4.2 is awesome, but it's not quite complete IMO. If you know anyone with a birthday in December they won't be impressed. Some people are saying it's the worst update ever, but most people are happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] james59802:
Feel free to send me the direct link....:)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] YoBob:
If direct downloads work, can you just post the ROM for us to download? :p I'm anxious, that's all.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Sure the downloads work but the server is not yet linked to our website. The only way I've been able to access the server is through our admin page which requires a password. I've spoken to our web dev and he reckons the server will be linked as soon as he finishes writing the download flood protection code but he didn't say how long it would take.

Also does anyone have any objections to calling the next version 2.0.0?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
I object. Why? Because I can. That is all.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Fair point. Democracy and all that right. Any suggestions then? I was thinking of maybe using the date or some kind of file hash thingy. I'm open to suggestions so this applies to everyone. I would offer a prize for the person who comes up with the best naming scheme, but I don't have any prizes to give out :P
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:
My vote, bluefin 2.0
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
I like that. I should lay out a few rules though. The ROM name must still be RemICS-UX, but the version can be anything.

I've been using a codename system similar to googles method of naming the android versions but I decided to use fish instead of sweets. Maybe instead of a version number I could use a codename. Currently I'm on Eel, but fish names might be a bit boring in some cases.

I'd like to use a system where each new version begins with the next letter of the alphabet.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] james59802:
How about just putting an s after the name
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
I'd go with Empire Gudgeon or Electric Catfish. Yes the first one is a fish.

Also in the UK, don't you guys have a monarchy instead of democracy?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
I do like the first one, but I prefer the second one. Its certainly much better than Eel anyway. Yeah in the UK we have a monarchy and a democracy. The politicians take care of everything though. The royal family have pretty much no power, but they can declare extra public holidays :p

Also if the next version is called Electric Catfish, I think any minor modifications to that would also be called the same thing keeping in line with the android naming scheme as 4.0.x is ICS. I might call it something like Electric Catfish Mk I (Mk 0 being the original) similar to how the spitfires were named. I'm also implementing a new build number scheme, but most of you won't notice it/need to notice it. Basically the build number will be something like UX5EC0R. The UX denotes that the rom is RemICS-UX i.e. the ICS version of our rom, the 5 is to say that the rom is for the player 5 (yes it will be a 4 for the player 4) and the EC0R is Electric Catfish Mk 0 Release (will be B for beta versions)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
I'm glad you're using my suggestion
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Well I've not fully decided yet, but I'd like to keep the fish names going in alphabetical order, and electric catfish sounds more interesting than eel
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] freshpintreez:
Camera

PLEASE PLEASE MAKE CAMERA WORK ASAP!!! Sorry if I sound rude but, I really really want a fully functional ICS for the GP5 and you're so close!

RemICS–UX Lion Fish 2.0

---------- Post added at 08:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ----------

But why stop at fish names when there's so much to expand on

Like RemICS – UX Capella x.x

RemICS – UX Kai x.x

RemICS – UX Galactic Core x.x
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Well I started with fish names so I may as well continue with them

Next version is called RemICS-UX v2.0.0 Electric Catfish 0. Its a pretty long name so I'll probably refer to it as v2.0.0 or Electric 0 or EC0
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] An1mus:
Electric cat fish is OK

RemICS-UX 2.0.0 ECO
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] james59802:
Now can we have it? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Usually, I would say no, but I'm in a good mood (and the FTP server was finally linked to the internet properly :D) so in this case I'm saying yes.

After a very long time, Electric Catfish Mk 0 (v2.0.0) is available for the

Player 5

as an OTA update and to download from www.team-remics.com

I'm still working on the player 4 version with zaclimon so expect that shortly
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] james59802:
I actually feel giddy
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iurnait:
I would flash but I'm at school. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] YoBob:
Unfortunately switched over to JB. If I want to switch to your ROM, is typical ROM flashing fine? (Since I'm downgrading back to ICS)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Yes normal flashing should be fine, although flashing this rom will change

ro.product.device=venturi

to

ro.product.device=venturi

so if you want to flash back to JB you need to change it back to

ro.product.device=venturi

. If you have any issues let me know and I'll try to help
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] YoBob:
I do not see any differences in your ro.product.device=venturi. What is it supposed to change to?

It may be far (or close, according to development) but are you planning to port Remics-JB once Mervodel's JB ROM turns into beta?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
I don't mean to be flippant, but reading the flashing instructions usually helps:

I'm planning to modify the ota updater app myself so this doesn't happen. The app itself is open source so I should be able to modify it without any copyright or similar issues

Yes I am. RemICS-JB has been available for the i9000 and other galaxy s series devices for a while and I've done a significant amount of dev work for those devices so bringing it to the galaxy player 5 should be pretty easy. I'll also try to help Mervodel to get the rom to a beta stage, but I have exams in Jan until the 28th and I'm planning to study over Christmas (the key word being planning XD) so I may not be able to do much work over the next 2 months

Great ROM! the only thing I'm seeing is that no matter how much I'm trying I can't connect to my PC. Or if I'm lucky I'm only to mount my internal memory after ten minutes of waiting. Any idea what it might be?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Sparx639:
Is this going to be updated to jb for the 5.0 after the kernel is finished or are you sticking with ICS? Btw this rom is amazing

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Both internal and external cards mount pretty much immediately on my pc. Maybe try re-installing the drivers or try a different usb port. Also try using a different usb cable

Regarding RemICS-JB, I could use the current cm10 alpha 4 as a starting point as its pretty close to being at a beta stage. Most of the functionality should be there, although a few things may not work
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] crancpiti:
it seems that i can't access the 4.0 downloadsite, though i can access the 5.0?

everytime i try it says: There are currently no information for this Device.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
The 4.0 is still on v1.3.4 so I've taken the page down. I'll put the page back up once E.C.0 is released. Its ready to go, but bluetooth doesn't work. I'm not sure how big an issue that is, but zaclimon is working on getting it fixed
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] crancpiti:
so thats how it is ^^

then i will gladly wait until Bluetooth is fixed, though i dont use it much at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Sparx639:
I didn't see it, sorry

Sparx639
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
I guess I could release the rom now and release an update once bluetooth is fixed, although the install process for the 4.0 is pretty long winded so it might be easier just to flash the rom once
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
I've installed EC0 with no problems, but I've got a couple of questions about these changes...

Is the new keyboard just "android keyboard" in input selections (as I can't see any new menu entries in there)?

Solid explorer states that the beta version has expired and to use it I must download a new version from google play.

I can't see any change with the battery icon (still measuring in multiples of 5 and charging animation is still just a lightening bolt on the battery graphic) - It could be that I misunderstand what a 1% battery mod is. lol....

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

Hmmm, just looked at the changelog in post 1 and it doesn't mention the battery icon changes, so maybe they were removed... Shame I was looking forward to watching my battery drain percent by percent!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Yes the new keyboard is called android keyboard. Its the one from 4.2 so gesture typing works.

It seems I forgot to update the solid explorer app in the ROM. I'll put an updated version in the next iteration of the ROM.

The battery icon is the same and the charging animation has the lightning bolt. I've added some code where a 1% change can be seen in the icon, but the battery level detector on the player 5 only reads in increments of 5% so you won't really see a change.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] da1writer:
I really want to upgrade to an ICS ROM for my 4.0 but on the fence between linICS v2 and this. If only this ROM had the linaro tweaks hanthsolo and his team are using I think it would be an easier decision but I'm still at odds. Ready to brick my device with the install as jumping to ICS is not as easy as other GB Roms I'm use to, hopefully no bricks though :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mashed_Potatoes:
Can anyone upload the stock Calculator in the APK form or in ZIP, for CWM?

I need the stock calculator, and I cant see it. Would be really thankful.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
Ahhhh, ok then... So does that mean that the icon graphic shows 1% changes but the numerical indicator is only in 5% changes? Or does it mean that the code you added doesn't do anything for this particular device?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
The code was done by another member of my dev team who has an i9000 and it works on basically all of our supported devices apart from the 5.0 because it uses a sub-par battery monitor. Basically the only effect seen on the 5.0 is the lightning bolt
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zardak:
I state that I'm noob with rom/kernel development, but I would like to say something that could be usefull: I remember that some time ago I saw some files in a certain system folder (can't remember which, but I can try to find it again) named something like battery_5, battery_10 etc.. Maybe these are the files that control the battery monitor...

This on a stock Gingerbread ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] KOala888:
It is more like our hardware limits accuracy of it, am I right?

@up

You are writing about framework-res.apk probably
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zardak:
No, it's not framework-res.apk

I knew that you would have thought :p

I managed to find that folder: /system/media with the file I mentioned but I think in not related to the battery widget. I think these file are used for charging animation when device is off, so nevermind. Probably is an hw limit as you said :(
