[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kirerad:
a quick update ...

1) the Market issue : - I've noticed that when I flash your ROM without gapps - Market works perfectly. If I'll flash gapps - Market stops downloading/updating apps.

I did the test and updated Market (the one delivered with the Rom) manually to the newest version and it stoped downloading apps then I've uninstalled the update and the market worked again. - really weird. Anyway its working now but I have to mindful about not updating it.

2) I'm not touching /efs at all. I was only following your instructions from the Youtube link from the OP and the only thing I did was to format /system and mount it back again. The funny thing is when I'm going back to stock I always have the original MAC address - tested that twice

3) No gapps for me because problem with Market on my 4.0 player, have installed everything I needed manually.

4) Regarding the root access. I've no idea why this happening to me. I've re-downloaded the package once again, flash it but got the same result - no root access

The steps i did to install the ROM :

1) factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik cache.

2) format /system, remount it (from your last post i found out that I don't need to do that any more ;) )

3) flash your ROM

4) flash supersu (as I've mentioned before I didn't have a root access after flushing the rom so that's additional step for me)

5) factory reset once again ( I've noticed I need that one to fix Market problem)

6) flash the GB kernel in ODIN, then reboot to Download once again

7) flash newest kernel from the OP.

8) reboot

Let me know if I'm doing anything wrong..
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
kirerad, the install video was made by ME and I specifically say in the video that you need to backup your efs before doing any of this, this ROM is based of the CM9 by team supernova base so it inherits ALL the issues that CM9 has, one of which is the Market not downloading, go to the Supernova CM9 thread and look for the "Market Fix" (its in one of the users signatures), it requires root to get it working and root access is broken so you have to reroot using the TPSparkyRoot that can be found in the thread aswell, this should solve your main issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kirerad:
Great, thanks for the info. i'm looking into this right now..
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kirerad:
OK, most of my problems are fixed - thanks for all the help.

There is one more thing i was hoping you'll help me with.

My external card is not mounted by the system during the boot. I've tried 2 different cards and they both work corectly in STOCK but they don't seem to work with this ROM.

I've checked the dmesg and the system can see the card during the boot

....

<6>[ 5.312408] mmc0: new high speed MMC card at address 0001

<6>[ 5.323662] mmcblk0: mmc0:0001 SEM16G 14.8 GiB

<6>[ 5.438272] mmcblk1:

I've checked the vold.fstab just to be sure that the correct device is mounted and it looks like it points the external sdcard to mmc2 - where the dmesg shows mmc1.

vold.fstab file :

......

# internal sdcard

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0

# external sdcard

dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2

Could you please advise how i could fix this. Simply editing vold.fstab would fix the problem ? or maybe i'm looking in a wrong place..

Thx.

....
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Yep changing it should work, but only if your player is a 16GB version and your external card is around 4GB as that's what the dmesg says

Just change the /mmc2 to /mmc1 and it should work
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
IIRC my external storage was available on this build but not on the CM9 build, somewhere in the BIG Team Supernova thread (between page 80-90 IIRC) is a post by Zaclimon with a zip file called swap.zip extract the vold.fstab from that zip and push it to your player. That will definitely have both internal and external storage available but they have weird names when you view them in es file explorer.

How would I install this on my galaxy player 4.0?

I have a US version
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
I'm guessing as you would with the 4.0's CM9
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
There is a very good YouTube video which guides you through the step by step instructions which can be seen in the first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
See my video under install instructions in first post, BUT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR EFS BACKED UP see Zaclimons thread on how to BEFORE even attempting.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
At the moment it seems that the majority of people want Google Now to be removed, but personally I like it s I've come up with an idea. I can make an option in the aroma installer so users can choose to install Google Now if they want. However I can only do this when our new FTP server is up. Also the ROM size will be a bit bigger, but FTP downloads are so fast that you should still see a decrease in download times. Also downloads will be much more reliable as we are also setting up a backup server in case the main one goes down
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Cm9aphla:
Just curios did you know about mevrdels booting cm10 rom and working 3.x kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Yeah but it was JackpotClavin who made the kernel and produced an initial CM10 ROM which was then modified. However, I would hardly call the 3.0 kernel stable and working fully at the moment
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Cm9aphla:
Do you know where I could get them
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
In the CM9 thread by JackpotClavin. Also this is not really related to my ROM so just pm me instead
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
How long for the FTP server? I'm not going to lie, the update for this rom is killing me haha
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
The server is up now, but only for basic uploading and downloading of files. Our web guy needs to set up the backup server and set up CMS and flood attack protection so he reckons it will take a few days. However, 1.3.4 can be downloaded manually from here. I'd recommend manually updating to 1.3.4 and waiting for 1.3.5 to arrive as an OTA update.

Also I'm starting to see some progress with CM10 for the player so I'm planning to experiment with some CM10 stuff so we can get RemICS-JB which has been out for a while for most of the devices we support.

Also Android 4.2 is supposedly being launched at the end of October so I'll probably be helping the team to get the 4.2 version of our rom up and running so dev work for the player might slow a little for a week or two
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
I've been updated with 1.3.4, I was referring to the 1.3.5 update :p
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kirerad:
Guys..

what do you use to play mkv files on this ROM ? is it even posible to play them with hardware acceleration ? I've tried Dice Player (which worked like a charm on stock rom) but no luck here, few othere players have the same problem.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] soulshinobu:
Try moboplayer.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kirerad:
No luck.. ;-(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iurnait:
there is a codec for moboplayer that u need to download i think

Play Link
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Have you tried mxplayer? it can use S/W acceleration.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kirerad:
it plays the mkv but it lags and the sound is out of sync as well.. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] soulshinobu:
Weird how moboplayer doesn't work for you, it was the only thing that worked for me.

Sent from my SPH-D710
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Karim.younus:
I had the problem. It depends on the type of video file you have. I changes the sound was no longer out of sync and it was smooth. I'm using MX Player. And could you (as in supermaster) add the Samsung video player? Or dose that require Hardware Acceleration.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrjaredbeta:
Use MX Player and change the audio to software mode, it will not be out of sync.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
I've nearly finished working on RemICS-UX 1.3.5 so it should be up in the next week or two as long as our new FTP server is up.

If you have any feature requests, please let me know over the next week or so. That way I have enough time to modify some stuff to cater for everyone's needs.

I'm trying to get AROMA Installer working for the Player 4.0, but I have no way to test it. If you have a 4.0 and you want to test the AROMA installer, send me a pm so I can give you the download links.

Also once the 3.0 kernel is a bit more stable, I'm planning to include it in this rom so apps which require hardware acceleration can be used.

On a side note, RemICS-UX 1.3.4 has been installed nearly 1000 times since its release so far!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Naddict:
Super,

If you need a mirror ..PM me, I got space :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Thanks for the very generous offer. We've bought 2 servers and our web developer guy is in the process of getting them set up. We should have enough space, but I'll give you a shout if we need more space
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Quick teaser :P

A screenshot of RemICS-UX 1.3.5:

I notice the cloud in the notification bar, I take it that Now is still there... Any stability from now on your new version?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Good spot. I've removed Google Now from the default installation and I've added an option in Aroma installer to install it. Unfortunately its the same version of Google now as before so it will have the same bugs. For users who don't choose to install GNow, the default ICS search will be present
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
In the next release of this ROM, will hardware acceleration be included in it?

and will it also be easier to install on the 4.0? I am looking forward to install any ICS ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
He said hw acc would be included for the 5.0 only, unless you guys have hw acc already..
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Let's not get ahead of ourselves now. The 3.0 kernel for the 5.0 had Hw acceleration, but it only works on JB, not ICS yet. Also the 4.0 doesn't have Hw acceleration yet so for the foreseeable future, neither device will have Hw acceleration, but it will be added in RemICS-JB (should be out soon for the 5.0 once CM10 is a bit more stable) or when an ICS kernel with Hw acceleration is developed
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
ohhh...... so whats included in 1.3.5?

like are there any MAJOR differences?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
THE TOGGLES!!! Lol that's what I'm waiting for. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:
What toggles?

Sent from my VZW GS3 running Synergy/LeanKernel/Dark Horse Rises
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
The notification toggles. They look like the S3 NOW
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
A full changelog will be out soon, but currently the toggles are new, and I've added some stuff from the S3 like the lockscreen weather icons.

Yep the toggles will be making their debut in 1.3.5, however, they will be at around 80% completion as we are working on getting the toggles to slide back to the beginning automatically like they do on the S2 and S3.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:
Oh awesome! Is there a method to change them to blue instead of green instead of applying a theme?

Sent from my VZW GS3 running Synergy/LeanKernel/Dark Horse Rises
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Not at the moment. I'm not sure whether we have any plans to make a blue version of the images, but if we do get around to making them I'll let you know
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
i see.........
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Zero_Shadow:
Supermaster I must say I love where this rom is going and all your hard work, if this has already been included I apologize for asking but will the FM radio functionality be included in this update?

Thanks again for your work :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
ALL releases of this ROM for the 4.0 will always suffer whatever problems are present in the team supernova CM9 (since it is the base for the 4.0 version of this ROM), If you want to know if (blank) will work in the next release then see if they've fixed it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
FM radio is not supported by CM9, but I believe it can be enabled in the kernel. However, no ICS kernel for the 5.0 supports FM radio, but I believe the 4.0 does have FM radio support. However, you can use the Spirit FM radio app which can be found here on xda.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:
Or use Tunein radio. You'll get almost all of your local radio stations

Sent from my VZW GS3 running Synergy/LeanKernel/Dark Horse Rises
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
I'm not 100% sure, but I thought Tunein radio was an app which streamed radio over an internet connection, rather than being an FM radio though
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:
Exactly, no need for the antenna so he can listen to the radio. I find to that tune in sounds better than using a real radio tuner.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] KOala888:
Good rom. But I found it a little bit unstable, battery drops quickly (probably because of background services) and google now useless for me. I love animations, idk if that rom is so smooth or if it is about animations. Gonna use that aninations with paranoid. Touchwiz also looks great

I'm having problems with this rom on my Korean yp-gb70. The rom works fine and smoothly but I can't seem to charge it while its off. When I connect the usb while its off, the circle loading indicator appears and the battery charging icon comes up for a bit and then the device reboots. It get stuck in that loop until I unplug the usb and let it boot normally. Any way to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
its been a known kernel problem. Connect it to a wall instead of a computer
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
Its same on stock GB rom so it has nothing with this rom
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rafa6571:
That's not true. The device charge offline in gb. If you have that problem then is your device problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] YoBob:
Is the FTP server up yet and ready for the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
I agree with this. I also have a YP-GB70 and mine charges fine on a wall USB charger. Trying to charge on USB from a PC while powered off will not work on any device.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
Then you have probably and stock kernel ..charging has nothing to do with rom..its about kernel..but i dont like stock kernel..its slow..you can back to stock kernel and rom if you like it more.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Just spoke to our web dev guy and yes having trouble getting the main server and backup server to sync correctly. He assures me that it will be up next week. I'll be pushing out v1.4.0 (yes not 1.3.5 :D) to my beta testers soon so if you'd like to beta test send me a pm. I can't let everyone beta test though...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
I am one of your beta testers, no? ;)

I've been running the inverted Google Play store 3.9.16 for a while now on my S3, figured I'd give it a shot on remics and it runs great on this device (int 5.0). Unfortunately Google has made everybody pull the leaked Gmail 4.2 downloads, so I haven't tested that yet. I tried pulling the apk from my current s3 rom from system/app. It would not install, not sure why yet. Anyways here's the link if you want the new inverted play store that camblue created:

Boom! Jellybomb biatch!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
I might include the inverted play store if it works well in my testing. I was going to include the gmail 4.2 app because its awesome, but I'm not sure if I should if Google are asking people to remove the downloads
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:
It's so awesome, most of the devs over at the vzw s3 forums are including it in their current nightlies if that helps your decision.... :D

Boom! Jellybomb biatch!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
I'm trying to get this ROM to install in the same way as Googles ota updates. Basically a 200+ MB ROM is compressed into about 30 MB and then it is unpacked during the install. This would mean much faster download times and it saves space on your SD card. This won't be arriving in v1.4.0 as I still need to work out how the unpacking works, but I hope to include it in this ROM soon
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Teaser Number 2 :)

Another teaser image of RemICS-UX 1.4.0:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Wait why did you bump up the number to 1.4.0?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
My team and I decided that the toggles are quite a big change so we decided to bump the number. Also there should have been version bumps before but I decided against it as there weren't enough large changes. I take it you're not disappointed that the version number has been bumped...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:
Ohh yeah.... Is that test countdown clock getting smaller... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Yes the beta is uploading now. I've had to remove a few bits from the beta as Mediafire has an upload size limit. I'll pm you the instructions on how to get the beta in a bit. Hopefully our FTP server will be up in the next few days so everyone can get the update
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:
So we don't report any of the "standard issues", has any of the known well documented quirks been addressed on this release (and no, I dare not ask about the camera/hardware acceleration, that's a given!)? Namely audio streaming via bluetooth, app to SD fc's, etc?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rafa6571:
Did you choose me for beta test?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Yes I sent you the instructions in a pm already

EDIT:

It looks like RemICS-UX v1.4.0 is stable enough to release once I have modified a few small things. Also Team Remics has set up a donate link so if you like our work, please consider donating. Simply press the donate button on the left or the button in the OP. Thanks a lot :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
theres no hw acceleration yet? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:
No
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Hw acceleration is enabled in the 3.0 kernel , but that only boots JB. I've tried using it to boot ICS but it doesn't work. I think I'm getting somewhere with the camera though. I got the zoom slider, preview and flash buttons to appear before everything froze
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Have you tried the 3.0 kernel with the ics ramdisk? The boot scripts are probably the issue. Even then, since external SD doesn't work yet, you may not want 3.0 anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
the others have some sort of hardware acceleration (ICS 4.0.4 for the 4.0 by handthesolo,) and their not too far from having hw acceleration fully functioning... try asking them how they got it? Just a suggestion...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
I agree with this. I tested the beta on the YP-GB70 -- Korean version -- and I found no bugs outside of the already known and established ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Karim.younus:
Will the 1.4.0 update include Jelly Bean?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Just a hint but ROMs don't usually change OS version in updates. When JB is stable enough I'll release RemICS-JB which has been out for other devices for a while. Some jellybean features are present though
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
The SGP 5.0 probably won't see a JB ROM until we get a fully functional kernel 3.x
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Lol we already have both, but they are very unstable currently
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Far from fully functional, with all due respect.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
try asking handthesolo and his crew how they got hw acceleration functioning...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Don't quote me on this, but I think we already have hardware acceleration covered. The elements still requiring some trial and error are the kernel and the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Are you gonna make a toggles bigger?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] annoyingduck:
They are, and look nice..... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Not sure whether I'll be able to in 1.4.0. I'm going to be away from home without my player so I won't really be able to do any dev work until next Wednesday at the earliest so it looks like the sizes may stay the same for now. Out of interest do you want them to be taller or wider?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Both, as stock looking as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
I can't change the width too much as the toggle area can have a varying number of toggles so some would overlap if I made the images too large. I can make them taller, but then they would look out of proportion. I might be able to make them a little bigger
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] YoBob:
I have a problem that I want to address previously and it is regarding the XDA app. It seems that I cannot update it as it said cannot install on USB or SD Card. It is the only app that does that. Please help and thanks.

Update it. Install Titanium Backup and move it to internal agaib
