Will try to apply all fixes from this thread into the sources so next build will be working without them.

Hanthsolo could you collect them in first post in section howto or something like that? Thanks.

Today will try to fix init scripts, have one idea.

i followed this thread since the beginning and i love it that Team Supernova got ICS booting :) and because im interested in such things i would like to know what do i have to learn to be helpful except providing Logcats (because i have important data on my device)

if there isnt anything than its okay :) i think i will probably download it with the next Build because my Data wont be important for any longer

PS:(haha my english is so bad :D)

I cant flash the kernel-thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] da1writer:
I have windows x64... I can run heimdall just fine (done it three times already to unbrick). You did use the guide provided below and go step by step correct?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531850

You have to Put you device into download mode, hook up the device to your computer. Then download heimdall, extract, and then go into the driver's folder of the heimdall folder. Run zadig (must be run as admin or say ok to the pop up), Go to the options tab and click LIST ALL DEVICES.

Select the samsung drivers, ok the errors if there is any, and then close the zadig. Now run the Heimdall-frontend, go to utilities, and Detect the device (it should now). Follow the step in the link I gave you in the link (download pit file for your device, download full restore and extract it, add each file that the guide from the link above tells ya, Repartition checked, and flash - it's that simple.)

Besides this point, I hope to see a new build soon as it seems you guys are making some excellent progress, thank oisis btw, your efforts on the kernal are much appreciated!

EDIT: Well error01671, it seems someone loves ya. An odin package has been provided now (today it was uploaded actually) for you in the link above in my post. Flash away

Re download kernel and try again

Sent From My YP-G1 running ICS build 3.5
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
went back to stock for now.

wishlist for next build (in order of priority):

1. working internal and external storage from boot (already fixed just needs integration into base)

2. a file browser app (should be easy)

3. market fix (just needs integration)

4. deep sleep bug fixed (would be nice)

1-3 are NEEDED to become daily driver status, 4 would be a bonus so we could go more then a day between charging.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Technically if market is fixed you don't need a file browser.

Sent From My YP-G1 running ICS build 3.5
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] da1writer:
Agreed, there is a root browser lite and es browser. I think a google made browser is ideal here but if it doesn't work that is fine with me if an alternative is at least integrated in it (and replacing the defunct default).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rozelle25:
Followed the steps from the video. However, when its supposed to boot into cm9 it just goes back to recovery (orange). I retired the steps and had the same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
did you make sure after flashing the terrasilent kernel to hit the reboot option in terrasilent (you must choose the reboot option in terrasilent, you CANNOT just use the power button at that step) BEFORE going back into download and reflashing the cm9 kernel? otherwise start fresh and follow EVERY step precisely, you may also have a bad download of cm9 causing it not to flash right.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] da1writer:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] BOBdotEXE:
the install instructions say wipe /system

How do I do that?

I don't see an option in my stock recovery menu.

sorry, I'm new to the whole flashing thing.

So do I install it with the 'update from sd card' option?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
you have to flash a custom kernel like steve's or terra silent.

Then you can go into CWM and goto the category called mounts and storage. somewhere in the middle of the list format /system will be in there

PM me for full instructions
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
If your this new to flashing I really recommend you hold off on flashing this for the time being, if you DO NOT know how to backup your efs partition then you shouldn't even consider flashing this.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] BOBdotEXE:
ok, I just installed silent,

And Yeah I guess I'll wait on this rom,

I really want to use a custom rom, This may not be the best place to ask but what's the best cm, or sm based rom for flashing beginners?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] euphoriaflow:
SM based? Huh?

Anyways, I would go with IcyFusion or Dream Ultra. Those are the only really stable roms on the Player 4, at least from my experience. I'm pretty hyped for ICS on this device, though, I even made a custom banner for it, I might post it here to see what everyone thinks about it first, but not right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
Well personally I just switched back to IcyFusion 2.3 last night, in general stay with roms that flash via odin as they are the "safest" ones and fairly easy to undo, hans stratus/ethereal rom is decent but can be glitchy to get up and running sometimes, until your familiar with how to backup and restore your efs DO NOT touch anything based off CM7 or CM9 (this includes Lewa OS and a few others I can't remember right now).

I cannot stress this enough, I was an early crackflasher with little understanding and lost my efs permanently and have had to deal with ALL the glitches that causes ever since, which includes NO LOCKSCREEN, NO POWER MENU (on most ROMs, some have deviceid hacks that temporarily solve these issues) and many other strange little issues along the way. and I still get weird usb connection issues from time to time so keep to stock based rom's till you have a FULL understanding of the player and how to manually back EVERYTHING up.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Really? I thought the ICS kernel had to be completely redisigned!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Good points there!

It will not boot if you flash a 5.0 rom, as the hardware is different, and it uses a completely different partition table.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
to clarify , flashing a 5.0 rom on a 4.0 device while keeping a yp-g1 kernel will not boot?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Nope because it would flash the 5.0 kernel over it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
but what if you created a signed tar containing a rom for the 5.0 and a yp-g1 kernel?

or a cwm flashable zip file that contains a rom for the 5.0 and a yp-g1 kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
First it would not be possible to create a tar to flash with odin. For the cwm flashable zip it can be possible but we would need to change the libs and some of the enteries on the updater-script.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
this might be off topic, but could the cwm flashable zip for cm7 be modified so it contains the i9000 build of cm7 and a yp-g1 kernel?

I think that would have to be the test first.

if that is shown to work then we might be able to do the same for cm9.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
It would not work because we have libs to change. Also the radio we have to remove etc. Altough it is still possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Ok I tried to boot with the CM7 kernel and this is where I'm

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] bujji:
JELLYBEAN is not a full version it is only 4.1. So I treat it as an minor upgrade than a milestone version.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] oisis:
Yes, I'm still alive :).

Just came back from my 3 weeks holidays so i'm busy now but at evenings i'm working on android for YP-G1. Device was sent from China and i'm checking all the time pkg tracking website. When i will receive player will let you know about that. At the beginning i will need some time(about two days) to know better device, partitions table etc and then i will install CM9 and start work on HW acceleration, init scripts and CWM6 for YP-G1 and finally kernel 3.0.8. Now have less time during week but will try to do more in weekends. So everything is under control.

In middle time i built CWM6 for YP-G1 but there is some problem with partitions so i need device to check everything one more time and fix it. I have to wait for device :(.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Updated OP with the manifest.xml we use, so you guys can more easily use our source. Thanks Oisis!

Sorry I have been so quiet lately, I have had a lot going on, and I have a LOT of PM's and Honor's school projects to catch up on, some of which I still need to do. High school is tough when you're taking advanced classes! Hopefully though I can start helping again in a more official way once Oisis gets his player.

Oisis, why would we want/need CM6, our of curiosity? I can see it being a cool project, but what would we need a Cyanogen build of Froyo for?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
So, this was compiled with the latest commits, right? I'll flash it an see how everything goes, especially since quota support has been added.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Status update from me: I think I may have gl fixed (that is, I won't be using the SUPER sloow workaround anymore). I built a build with GL enabled, and it boots and functions just fine. I am going to make a clean build and see if that still persists, but keep your hopes up that we may finally have some form of HW acceleration. I may be wrong, but I think fixing the a/v codecs may or may not have fixed our flaky GL issues, or at least some graphically-related commit. I guess we will know for sure tomorrow when I get home, as I need all night to compile, and as much as I enjoy developing, I am NOT getting up at 4 am to test a new build, as I am super tired right now :).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] da1writer:
Dos this mean by maybe tomorrow we might have a somewhat functional Kernal with "HW Acceleration" [title]? Of course tweaks and such will still be done by oisis (and others who are helping), but this is great news nonetheless! I'm currently holding off from jumping in the pool with you guys because I want some sort of lifeguard there. In other words, if this is functional to a degree (while fixing deep sleep), can you guys make a flashable rom/kernal without the need of pushing to adb or CWM (odin package or installer)?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
No, we still will not have any HW acceleration, but with GL enabled, we will see a nice performance boost, since it DOES use a form of hardware acceleration. This will launch our ROM into the "usable" stage, but we need oisis to work on a 3x kernel before any real HW acceleration will be achieved. At that point, ICS will be extremely fast, and going from IVS to JB should be a snap, expecially if we have a 3.0x kernel going (hypothetically, anyway).

We unfortunately cannot provide a flashable odin package, as it uses the stock partition layout, whereas we use mtd, and it wil brick your device, necessitating a restore.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
can't boot into CWM with this kernel, ROM comes up fine.

Side note, for those not aware, you can take the vold.fstab from zac's swap.zip a few pages back and put it in the cm9.zip BEFORE flashing and have proper FUNCTIONING internal (usb storage) and external (sdcard), just put it in in place of the current one.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] oisis:
Could you check github and tell us that this file there is ok or not? Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] oisis:
What about new govs: interactiveX, smartassV2 and smoothass? They works ok?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
As for the governors and kernel, they work perfectly, with the exception of recovery. Also, as I thought, gl is not fixed, although with quota support in the kernel, I may be able to boot a working build with the newer drivers with oisis at some point.
