NOTE: post repurposed to move extra info off of the OP, as it is becoming very crowded.

User participation:

Sometimes I have a possible issue or fix that I need YOU the users to try before I fix it. These commands/steps will not harm your Gplayer in any way, or decrease performance. Just post the result if I need you to, or report back on your success/failure!

Performance:

Make sure you post screenshots of your quadrant scores so I can tell that my work is going to good use!

If you have a hack/performance mod you want to see in the next version, be sure you pm me your idea/link!

Please make sure it is a well though out idea, not "improve cpu score on quadrant", as that doesn't help me.

Make sure you report any bugs you have as soon as possible, so i can fix them!

Bluetooth fix:

this is only for people who are having bluetooth issues, if you are not, ignore this!

1. Head into terminal emulator

2. Get su, and type "v6"

3. Head through the prompts until you see a mains screen with several options

4. Choose the one that says "Nitro lag nullifier"

5.Unillify

6.exit, and reboot

Howto:

convert to EXT4(STRONGLY recommended, as this gives a large performance boost. Most of my I/o tweaks performance increase is reduced drastically if you do not apply this!)

Credit goes to Klin for this guide.

1. Flash Klin's R3 or a version of Terrasilent

2. Make sure you have about 14 MB free space on /system.

3. Boot into CWM recovery and do a full nandroid backup.

4. Reboot, and from your computer go to the CWM backup directory on your sd card. Alternatively, you could use a file explorer to view and edit these files.

5. Change all the files from ".rfs.tar" to ".ext4.tar".

6. Open nandroid.md5 with a text editor and change all the ".rfs.tar" to ".ext4.tar". Save and close.

7. Eject the device from your computer FIRST. This step is crucial. Then disconnect from your player. If you edit it on the player, you can skip this step.

8. Reboot to CWM recovery and do a full restore.

9. (only for terrasilent users) head into the advanced menu of cwm, select reboot download, then reflash your terrasilent kernel. That should fix the "bricking" some people experienced.

There you go! enjoy the increase!

Fix home button woes:

I have finally, after a bit of luck and some know-how, determined a fix for the home button issue! This will work on ALL roms, not just this one, and will probably work for the 5.0 as well. This also means you can fully wipe data if you want, and simply apply my fix.

1. Navigate to /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings

2.Optionally copy to a computer (easier that way)

3.Open it up in a sqlite editor (if you are doing this on the device, copy it to /sdcard and and then copy it back

4.Navigate to the locale/first section (there should only be one string in there

5.It should look like en_US if you have a US player, or en_GB if you have a UK/intl player

6.Change the string to the language/locale you use (if you are INTL you can merely change it to xx_GB, where xx is your language. If you are US, just perform the same steps, but change the last part to US)

7. commit/save the file and copy it over the old one

8. Reboot, and your home button *should* be fixed!

NOTE: I have not personally tested this. It has a 99% change of working, but I have yet to completely verify it.

NOTE: after you replace the file, android may go a little haywire (wifi disconnects, forgets password, advanced reboot option unavailable, etc.). THIS IS OKAY. Simply reboot, and it will all be back. Do not change any settings after copying until it reboots, as it may possibly break the fix

NOTE: I cannot provide a downloadable file, as that file contains all of your system settings, and if you use mine, my settings will be applied, which could be pretty bad in some cases.

NOTE: this has no chance of bootlooping or bricking your device. At absolute worst, you have to set up a few settings/restore from a /dbdata backup. There is almost no risk involved.

Credits:

I want to thank all the devs who created mods that I use in my rom. There are too many devs to list, but I want to thank them all for such great work. :) I am currently working on the list of people below, so I can properly thank them. I realize they need to be recognized for their hard work, and the last thing I want to do is rip them off.

bscraze for his Beats audio poweramp fix/boost audio.

dsexton702 for his universal adrenaline shot.

H3llstorm for his compiled list of gps fixes.

st@matis for some of his init.d scripts

Zepplinrox for V6 supercharger.

Papa_Smurf151 for smurfed out settings.

Klin1344 (of course:p) for letting me continue his rom, and for his EXT4 converting guide (I didn't want to rewrite it myself, I was busy).
