Wait it's not working yet... I need to mod on some things before having full HW. Also daniel, external sd should work no problem, as for market, the wifi is broken (changing the driver module to /system) so I can't tell right now. As for root, it works perfectly :p and for the install process, you just need to flash a GB kernel then reflash the ICS kernel after install. Now for the moment I will see if I can get the US home button to work. It's incorporated in the kernel but I can't get it to work somehow.

EDIT: Also the rom and kernel source is updated if you want to do some compiling yourself. Here's our github:

Yeah, I can tell you right now that it's awesome! I can also report that the home button will be fixed.

Alright so I can declare that the pre-beta testing will begin tonight. The selected people will recieve a link where they can test the build and report bugs.

EDIT: Finally the links will sent tomorrow because I need to so some compiling modifications.

Was to fast :(. I got my device but when I was in Samsung service they told me that device is not fixable. I got brick. Will try to buy mainboard or send it to one guy maybe he will fix it. I am not sure what is broken, hope that is not hardware. If you will find cheap device somewhere just PM me. Don't worry guys will still support zaclimon and hanthsolo with developing like I'm doing it all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Sorry about that Oisis, I hope you can get it working soon!

I now have the official beta 1. Most things work in this, including camera preview (well, sorta, if you like small, B/W previews), and it is FAST compared to our older build!

Not working:

Recovery (I think)

Brightness (will probably be a simply fix)

Wifi (well, it works, but you may need to reboot after connecting, and/or insmod dhd.ko from /system/lib/modules)

Camera (we may get it working, we just need to swap some drivers)

Bluetooth (should not be hard to fix, eventually)

pretty much everything else works!

Note that this is NOT intended for public release, so there are some extra things you need to do to install it, or to get things working, but i'm pretty sure that that won't be an issue. Remember to flash gapps!

ROM:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?z1zh5357oe27izz

Kernel (you need to use odin for this)

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?z4oz90m2waobb10

Have fun! I will not update the OP with this until we streamline the install process, and work out some of the smaller kinks.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fromnowon:
Many thanks for Team SuperNOva! :)

Will install beta 1 to test!

BTW, has the deep sleep bug been fixed?

EDIT: Oh, I tried chrome, and...it works perfectly!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
hw acceleration is perfect?!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
For those who have problems with the play store, please flash the kernel below.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
the kernel you linked is a file called boot.img how do you flash that with odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
yeah.. it says "boot.img" i was wondering the same thing.

In the next release, can you guys make it possible to flash the kernel on the device itself? Like not using ODIN? Is it even possible? XD
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
ya i know it says not intended for public use but i dont even know how to flash it in heimdall.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Ok for people who aren't used to flash boot.img, well you've to use the heimdall's way to flash it because we've shifted to the way the AOSP does his kernels. Once I've resolved the recovery issue, we're gonna use only 1 kernel.

EDIT: I have also 1 suggestion, can someone (in stock rom) do this is adb please:

/proc/partitions

and also getprop please.

Thanks.

EDIT2: I don't need it anymore. Thanks though.

I can try to .tar it but when the recovery will be fixed, it will mean it's end indeed.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:

how are u supposed to flash it in hemidall? it asks for .pit
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
This is why it's clearly stated on han's post that it's not for general public consumption and only for testing. ;)

And Playa: take the pit from your device (you can download it on the how-to flash with odin/heimdall thread.)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Okay I think I will wait until installation is mainstreamed and then I can take Hans installation process, make it detailed and give it to anyone with technical difficulties.

Sent From My YP-G1 running ICS build 3.5
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
When the installation will be mainstreamed, han's actual installation process will be useless as all we be made from the recovery. And for the eta, you can always see iJimaniac's signature. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
can someone pm me the installation process as of now?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
People please, as I said before, there is NO SUPPORT for this beta. If you can't figure out how to flash it, you're pretty much on your own, sorry. Pretty much anyone who's familiar with heimdall and has the .pit for their device can flash this no problem, just ignore the file type on the end.

We are currently in the process of fixing some of the smaller bugs (brightness, US home button, camera), and will probably release a .zip in a few days that has some more stuff fixed, that you can simply install via CWM (no more seperate ROM and kernel!).

Just be patient, we will release a more streamlined version soon. Believe me, we're closer to ironing out the rest of the bugs than you would think.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
ok, by this i will be patient. seems good enough for me. :)

so that means u wont need ODIN to flash anything right?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Yes, as a matter of fact odin would brick your device, as it would use the stock partitions table (stl) while we're using mtd.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
Sorry for asking so many questions BUT in the next public build (the one u were referring to,) will NOT need the use of the computer to flash ANYTHING? INCLUDING kernels? What kernel would you need to flash the ROM and HOW would you have to flash the kernel? Can you also flash the ROM on the TerraSilent kernel?

Again, Im sorry for the endless questions, but I need to know the answers to flash it. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I'll explain it really easily. When the installation process should be good, the only kernel you will need to install will be the terrasilent one (for stock devices), all the rest will be done from the CWM6 recovery and the rom zip. It's again to make it really easy for people.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
yeah, i have terrasilent on my player... what do you mean by "stock devices?" And how will you be able to get CWM6 recovery? I understand that the ROM will be flashed through CWM6 on the terrasilent kernel but dont understand how will I be able to get CWM6 on my player. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
The stock devices are the ones that came principally with the stock rom or the stock based one (etheral or icyfusion). CWM6 is included and is built from the source. It's on the file named boot.img which is currently the kernel+ramdisk(or kernel+initramfs if you prefer).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] da1writer:
See post above for your answer. Now, Many of the Devs did say to wait a bit for a "streamlined" user friendly installation process, I and many others are - why can't you? This is the first beta [a few posts back] but they also mentioned they will post another update with fixes and features, I'd wait for that one like the rest of us... I'm not trying to sound harsh or anything, just saying patience is a virtue, that's all. I'm almost to a point of flashing back to stock but await for the release of this rom/kernal.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
So BASICALLY this will be the installation instructions (sort of:)

1. Flash IcyFusion+TerraSilent

2. put the ROM file on the SD card

3. Flash ICS 4.0.4 through CWM6

Am I correct? No extra stuff to download?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] soulshinobu:
If I'm not mistaken...

>Stock ROM

>Flash terrasilent kernel

>Flash ICS zip from recovery

>You get CWM 6 and ICS in one flash

That's kind of how it works with every ICS/JB ROM for the Epic 4g Touch, since the kernel and the ROM would be packed into one zip.

If you can get a file manager on via adb, I can send you an apk of cpu spy. BTW, one way I can tell if deep sleep is working (at least on gingerbread) is using a live wallpaper, and if it is frozen for a few seconds after turning on the screen, it was in deep sleep.

Well I flashed Zac's Kernel that he posted a few post's after Han's and got the Play store working.

Quick findings so far playing around:

Wifi worked right off the bat for me with no issues

Camera opens and my "preview" is in color but it's like on old TV's when the V-hold goes all wack if I snap a shot with it the image is just a grey block with just barely noticeable line of color on the upper left that would be part of my image, front facing camera has same "V-hold" issue but the camera will snap that "v-hold" image

Doesn't look like deep sleep is kicking in, it does drop to 100 MHz tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] S_m_O_k:
after flashing CM9 any other CWM kernel does not see the internal memory (

fixed the problem
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] fromnowon:
It seems deep sleep is still disable as 'standby' cost much power.

Er, I found an interesting thing. An app called ScreenDim could change the brightness LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
If your talking about the just released build what I did was:

Flash new Beta Build (which converts to MTD)

Flash older CM9 Kernel via Odin (the one that goes with build 3.5, since recovery in new build is broken)

Re-flash new Beta Build (it will say installing now after the MTD conversion part)

Flash Terrasilent kernel and reboot download to get out of bootloop from older CM9 kernel

Use Heimdall to flash new kernel (from Zaclimon, since play store won't work with Han's kernel)

And it should boot up.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] oisis:
That is why I was working first on installation, booting process and kernel :).

WHAT is deep sleep?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
It is a low power CPU state when the CPU is "sleeping" and doesn't do anything at all. It is best for the CPU to be in deep sleep when no tasks are running, like when the screen is off.

Why isn't deep sleep enabled? I Heard it is so easy to make it work.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
If I recall, tdmcode had an issue with it crashing the device, so he disabled it. I am not sure if team supernova has even messed with it yet. I personally think it should be a higher priority then the camera, but that is judged upon my personal use. On the bright side, I got a faster Internet plan, so I should be able to do more testing, if you guys need it. If not, I'll hang around on GB to help out if you need anything from it.

Hi I asked in the Xperia play (as that's my phone) thread about this and I got a reply saying

What you might want to look into is adding dmesg, kmsg & last_kmsg (especially last_kmsg) into a kernel for your other phone, so that if you can boot it once, then boot it into CWM, you can pull the last_kmsg & have that as a starting point for porting a kernel, also checking the ramdisk would be another good idea. (As well as comparing kernel config files)

You can probably make more sense of it than me
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Ok I think I found the problem (thanks for your reply too minipot, I'll check in the config.) I think we need to get help from everyone who have some experience. I contacted teamhacksung and they said that I need to backport the usb gadget driver from the 3.0.8 kernel. I need the help of everybody if possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] minipot:
oh no sorry that wasnt meant as a fix for the problems that was just what he said to me about porting ics kernels
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Zaclimon, have you tried booting CM9 with the CM7 kernel? That could be a starting point, as long as it works...plus, I am poised to port some ICS roms, so as soon as we get a booting kernel of any sort, I will start working on that. Additionally, I bet that the home button/touchscreen issue with a GT-I9000 rom is not kernel based, and can be fixed by porting a few Gplayer files. Now all I need is a good GB SGS rom, and a full backup if anything goes wrong...:).

EDIT: since i'm bored today, and have nothing better to do, I am going to flash a GB rom+kernel after a full wipe to see what happens. I am *assuming* that I cannot cause permanent damage, and I will come back with my results. If I cannot get it to boot, I will try to finegle with it until it does :). My prediction is that the rom+kernel will not boot, but the rom itself will with a Gplayer kernel after I do some HW file porting.

EDIT: as I suspected, the kernel does not work, but the rom does, and has booted up just fine! touchscreen works, as well as the home button!. Wifi seems to turn on, but does not scan and switches off quickly. Since we have a different camera, it FC's, but other than that, this eems to be usable! you just need to flash a Gplayer kernel first.

EDIT: Affter porting Gplayer wifi files, I can now access wifi, making this a completely usable success. If I wanted to use the camera, all I would need to do is port those files, maybe even just the apk, and all would be good! This now means that the Gplayer can tap into ALL the GB roms out there for the SGS, and a dev could easily make a comversion pack that you can flash over the rom. I will continue testing, but I will not do an ICS rom, as we do not have a kernel yet.

EDIT: running temple run on it is faster then on our roms, even mine! that may be because I performaed a full wipe, but stil...I have not included any of my tweaks into this, the only thing I did was reapply my 1.5 ghz overclock. It got a quadrant score of 1497, because I don't have any I/O tweaks installed, but that is still pretty good. In case anyone was wondering, I am using the Gamerzrom, probably not the fastest choice, but the first I came across. Everyone wants ICS these days...maybe I wil try it later, but there is a 99% chance it will not work, and I don't want to re-set up my efs...
