Look pal. He's only trying to help so don't be mean. And I am not sure, but you cannot be deaf on the internet. You don't need to wipe your internal storage, but you need to wipe your CACHE YOURE SYSTEM AND DALVIK THANKS HAVE A GOOD DAY
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] My1xT:
I didnt mean to insult anyone, nor to be mean, but it's said we should wipe data but int. storage is not needed... and always I wiped with CWM my socalled /sdcard was dead as well, so I just wanted to know is there's a full wipe without that my socalled /sdcard get empty...

maybe I should include in my sig that I have an Asperger syndrome
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
If you do a full wipe you will not lose the contents of your sdcard. You do not need to wipe your sdcard. You do not even need an sdcard. I apologize.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] My1xT:
I wrote /sdcard not without a meaning (MAN this is so confusing). I did NOT mean the REAL microSD card, but the internal storage which is ironically on /sdcard, and this ALWAYS gets wiped, when I wanna wipe, and that's annoying, coz you should never need to delete neutral data...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iurnait:
here is how our 8 gb players are set up

~2 gb for android system stuff

~2 gb for apps (internal storage)

~4 gb for your files (ie music, videos, pictures) (usb storage/ "sdcard")

when you do a wipe data/ factory reset, the internal storage gets wiped so all your apps are gone.

however, everything under your usb storage stays
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] My1xT:
well, as I said before I have now 3 Droid devices (GNote 2, GTab2 7.0 Wifi and SGS Wifi 5.0 all 3 international)

and on all devices, so my experience, my files were gone...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
Files dont go..just apps and android/data folder
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] My1xT:
is this only on this one or an all Android devices, coz with N2 and Tab 2 I am sure, with my player not really, but first I wanna know if haptic feedback works (I have intl, so I need the homefix)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
Can this be ported to the 4.0?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
There is PA for the 4.0...somewhere buried in this forum. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] My1xT:
I dont know the 4.0 well, but I think if there's hardware on the same level in it, then it COULD work with a few build.prop entries (model/DPI and so on)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
I think there are kernel issues for the 4.0. That's why they don't have CWM for CM9. If they were THAT similar, wouldn't zaclimon have fixed it based on YP-G70 sources?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jtquen:
Camera and hardware acceleration are working?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] troy5890:
The camera and hw shouldn't be working
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Its going however its going. Good day to you
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
Works perfect on 5.0 international.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Arlicc:
Any differences comparing to those CM9 for SGP5 from xda?

Bluetooh work etc. ?

If not.. I have a idea, in most of ICS roms camera its a problem with camera HAL(hardware layer) problem, this problem had SGS, desire HD etc.

The problem is exactly with libcamera.so

And/or other camera libraries, those libraries are related to procesor and/or kernel, there is libcamera.so for 2.6kernel and ICS ROM from htc devices, and we can use other libraries and try to work, coz most of them are related to procesor or kernel version , not camera firmware.

I would try this on self, but i dont have time and i need sgp5.0 to work.

I have been trying repair camera 3 mounths ago, and im sure its camera HAL module problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nightfire37:
I am reporting that the U.S. SGP works. Problems I had was getting the device's dpi to phone because i hate the tablet UI and the when I changed it, certain items get cut off the screen. I tried to change the lock screen to pattern and i couldn't tap next because next didnt appear on it. Way to go though.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
You can change different dpi for any individual app.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nightfire37:
I didn't try the other apps but I tried the launcher and there wasn't any problems there
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
So far, this is a fantastic rom! Great job and thank you. It runs great on my INT 5.0 player.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Screenshots. What I really love is that you can disable Nav buttons but keep the tablet look. Its amazing. This rom. Winner.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
Yes and that every app can have own dpi and tablet or phone mode and you can change on the fly for every app withou restarting.

But I now that camera will be hard job.Its not in kernel problem then in library files for camera which change structure on ics.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
I'm currently looking for a way to get the tablet mode lock screen working and I think I'm close. Also I have to say this runs better than paranoid android on my nexus 7 :P
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Does one still need to wipe the system and perform a data reset when coming from CM9 AOKP ROM? If so, and I have a backup, upon installation of Paranoid, will a restoration of system and data apps be possible?

Also, is Paranoid CM9 or CM10 based? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nightfire37:
U need to wipe the system. If u want to go back to GB u still need to wipe system
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
I appreciate your reply, although I am still wondering whether or not I will be able to reinstall system and data apps through recovery after Paranoid is installed.

I answered one of my own prior questions, as well (sorry for not looking or thinking harder). I now see that it is CM9 based (4.0.4).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Its CM9. You should be able to restore your apps
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Got it. Right before you posted, I looked at the thread title (shouldn't have been so hasty :silly:) and saw that it's CM9 based.

As for app restore, I''ll give it a shot. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
You can always do it with titanium backup
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nightfire37:
Also BACKUP UR DEVICE. Cant stress that enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
I can confirm that this ROM is functional on the YP-GB70 (Korean) SGP 5.0.

Congratulations and a big thank you to the dev(s) who worked and continue to work on this!

I'll try to report any incidents whenever possible and wherever applicable.

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

EDIT:

Theme chooser works!.No issues to report.

Noticed that Google Translate app seems to FC without cause. Any help would be appreciated.

Live wallpaper brings up the margin, or creates a small void, above the on-screen soft keys, leaving an empty black area (very small) where icons, animations, text, spill out onto. I'm not sure if this is an issue specific to the build for SGP 5 or Paranoid as a whole. In short, Live Wallpaper works, but with a glitch.

Have had a recurring issue with the ROM rebooting while device is idle.

Typical CM9 bugs: Bluetooth, Camera, Flash Google Talk FC...

A few things worth noting from the few minutes I've spent so far with it.

Boot-up is extremely quick!!!! :good:

For international and Korean users, installing Noisyfox's kernel is a must.

In my experiences to date, all of the CM9 roms have switched the EMMC and SD-Card directories opposite of what they ought to be. Thus, it is advised to see Reuben's ICS Crumble post and use his swapstorage.zip in recovery to rectify this.

This is the only CM9 ROM I've used to date which activates and deactivates the soft buttons as stock firmware would. This is a good thing in my opinion.

As a user previously mentioned the Paranoid OTA file FCs upon reboot, and using a root explorer or uninstaller with Root Access (Titanium) to remove should remedy this, as mentioned below.

Lastly, everything runs incredibly smooth. After initial boot up, and settings tweaked to user specifications, another reboot seems to "pop" everything magically in place. I have not experienced significant lag, if any at all, even with Trebuchet.

I will report more bugs/comments as I encounter them. Again, a HUGE thank you to those who worked to get this running!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
I agree with you. This is a very nice rom.

One quick question though. About the swapstorage.zip you mentioned... I have also noticed that few of the SGP ICS roms have this happening. I have not noticed any issues with the device running with these storage locations switched. However, I would like to try the swapstorage.zip. I have looked into the ICS Crumble thread and no one seems to have talked about it. Can you tell me what I should look for? Since I have my device setup with the storage locations switched, flashing this zip will do what? Do I need to reset my device to do this and reinstall my apps? Are there any advantages to doing this?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
EDIT:

Here is the link for swapstorage.zip. Put in external SD-Card and flash with recovery.

http://www.mediafire.com/?q5n4a4ldap9xa19

I'm pretty sure you'll find the swapstorage.zip file on the OP of the ICS Crumble thread. If not, I'll try to upload later (I'm at work right now). As for the function of swapstorage, after installing a cm9 ROM and instaling the Nyfox patch (for those w/ physical hoso, me buttons), I noticed that files that are physically stored on the external sd card (aka. EMMC in CM9) were indicated as being stored in the internal sd card on file explorer. So, I executed the swapstorage in recovery, rebooted, and noticed that the files were now in there proper place. This is not a magical relocation of files, I assume there is a script which changes some code somewhere to force CM9 to identify SD CARD and External.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alljokingaside:
Is this necessary? My device seems to have the /SDcard and /EMMC partitioned correctly.../SDcard directs me to the external SD card while /EMMC directs me to internal storage (not root). This is correct, no?

Also, where could I download Google Play from? I've always had it come stock. I've switched to a modded Play apk (Signed_Vending-mod.apk) earlier and tried using it on this ROM, but when I added it to the /system/app, it crashes; It doesn't seem to be compatible with ICS (or Paranoid Android, at least).

The only thing I can say atm is that I would have to recommend putting a file explorer and Google play as stock (I guess in the Gapps folder). It was somewhat of a pain getting a file explorer onto the device (I'm coming from a Gingerbread ROM, if it makes a difference) since I didn't have wifi when I flashed it. I suppose I could have added it into the zip file manually, but I didn't expect the apps not to be there.

Either way, I just installed it; Great ROM. This is the beans. Can't wait for the camera fix!

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

I forgot to ask- for US users, what kernels are available? Or is the one that comes with this the only one available? I'm a bit new to ICS ROMs (3 hours new!)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Necessary? I don't suppose so; if you're happy with the way the ROM handles storage. For me, this mix-up is consistent with all CM9 ROMS that I have flashed to date, and the topic of storage locations being reversed by the ROM is a topic in the forums. Anyway, my side of the story is that, to date, anytime I have flashed a CM9-based ROM, there have always been music files on the external SD and internal SD Card. So, flashing the ROM and browsing to both storage locations, I found that in the partition labeled "SD CARD", which even on stock means your internal storage, all the music files were the ones from my External; and likewise for the "EMMC" directory, which to me, EMMC = external multi-media card.

The GAPPS zip should have the play store apk installed. If not, I'm sure a Google search will lead you to a stock Play Store download. Or, I can try uploading it a bit later. Anyhow, Ciao.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alljokingaside:
Blerg- so /SDcard is supposed to be internal and /emmc is supposed to be external....and here I thought that they were finally getting the nomenclature right! Ok. Well, I suppose I'll see how the software interacts with the device. I've already directed my Titanium backup files to that location so.

Ugh.

I've tried a modded version of Play, an unmodded version of Play from a backup I have, and the newest (leaked?) Play from a third party source, all executed both regularly, and after stored in /system/apps and rebooted. So yeah, I'd appreciate it if you could. This is severely annoying.

Looking at the Gapps zip file now and I do not see a file that resembles Google Play. I do, however, see Gmail in the file, though not on my device...After trying two different versions of Gmail (including the one in the zip folder), it FCs, just like Play. A connection, perhaps?

Additionally, I'm asking about the kernel because I'd like to enable swap for the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
In my humble opinion, yes. That's how I see that the storage directories ought to be situated. Also, the discrepancy would be noticed, say, if one had 32GB of internal storage, but only 8GB of external.

As for the issue with your apps FC-ing, did you follow the installation instructions (e.g. data wipe, cache wipe, system format [mounts --> format system] all performed in Recovery)? If not, do that; re-install the ROM from recovery, navigate to advanced --> reboot recovery, then install the GAPPS zip and let me know how it goes. BUT JUST TO BE SAFE, MAKE A COPY OF YOUR TITANIUM BACKUPS FOLDER ON YOUR DESKTOP IN ORDER TO REINSTALL APPS IF THE WORST SHOULD HAPPEN!

As for the Titanium backup, I cannot guarantee but foresee it working that if you run SwapStorage.zip, recovery won't move any of your files. It just, in a sense, forces the OS to read the directories under a different name. So, EMMC will become SD CARD and SD CARD will become EMMC, but you shouldn't lose any of your files. The backups should now be located under SD CARD --> Titanium Backup, at which point you could rework your Titanium settings to backup to the newly set directory. Do you get the gist of what I'm saying?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
I decided to leave my storage configuration (right or wrong) the way it is now. It does not seem to affect performance at all. In addition, the fact that the device now sees the external card as internal, gives me ample storage space (64GB Vs. 8GB) without the need to move apps around and such.

Also, for those having issues with GAPPS, I had to flash it three times for it to take. The first time, right after the rom flash, did not install any of the GAPPS. The second time, all my GAPPS showed but Market kept FCing. I flashed it the third time and all is good... I am not sure why but that is what I had to do to get the GAPPS to work properly. For those of you worried about using modified market to access apps, I am using the stock one that came with the Rom and I have yet to see any app that is labeled as not compatible with my device.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
That issue with GAPPS installation (or failure thereof) has been reported with other CM9 ROMS, and is not unheard of. I'm glad it worked out for you, and as for the storage issue, as you said, it seems it may work to your benefit. Congrats.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
does the camera and the flash in the browser work?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Woah. Woah. Let's not get too over-zealous here. This ROM has typical CM9 bugs, which include: Camera, Bluetooth, Hardware Acceleration, Flash, among other things.

But, it's still a great ROM!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:
just asked :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
:) Yes. You did. And, I just answered. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alljokingaside:
Yup. Exactly as instructed. Wiped nearly everything in CWM- data, system, the cache, etc. As for titanium, I meant that I rerouted the directory to point to the backup folder located in the /emmc folder. Not a deal. What was was spending like 20.min to batch restore nearly 80 apps!

As for flash, I'm not sure but I got the youtube app working, which generally requires flash. That said I did install a flash apk that seems to be running fine.

Basically, everything but camera, gmail, and play works. (Probably bluetooth too, tho thats amendable, i believe) That said, since kakao talk is a large venue by which i communicate and since the thing wont let me run it w.o some update from the play store, i'll be switching between chips rom and p.a for the time being; massively annoying- must wipe system any time i want switch between the two via a cwm backup

Thanks for the help, btw. Hopefully these issues will soon be resolved!

---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 AM ----------

Btw, yeah- the browser works, tho opera fc.s on mine and fake, zippy chrome runs sluggishly

---------- Post added at 12:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

Geez, did my laptop crap sickles on me? I looked in the zip via 7zip ahd couldn't locate a market app (nothing resembling vending, googleplay, play, etc.)

Gapps took on the first go, except for gmail, which doesn't seem to be taking no matter which version i apply
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
GMail worked for me up until I started messing around w/ the DPI settings (the core functionality of Paranoid). After I post this, I am going to try wiping the Dalvik cache and cache partition and re-flashing the ROM to see if that fixes some issues.

About Flash, Youtube works. You are correct. But, the browser cannot stream videos in real-time, because flash is not able to create a run-time environment within the browser; which you would otherwise have if you were running stock ROM. You can, in essence, click on a video in the browser, but it will behave like youtube and stream the video from within the video player, and not within the browser itself.

Bluetooth is amendable, according to another post, but I believe it will take some work. I haven't looked in the GAPPS zip, so I don't know what's in there, but you could always try downloading and flashing an earlier compilation of GAPPS. Just do not flash a Jelly Bean GAPPS zip on a CM9 ROM. That will never take.

Finally, if you're looking for a quicker browser, try the stock browser. It's pretty darn good. Also, from my experiences Ninesky Browser is very chrome-like, has a nice UI, and is definitely better than Dolphin or Opera in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] EcHoFiiVe:
Is 1.6b the latest build of PARANOIDANDROID for ICS? If not, will you be updating this ROM with newer builds?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
The market app you are looking for within the GAPPS is actually called phonesky.apk. Other names I have seen used is vending.apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dmoneypros:
Rom is silky smooth!

Thanks!

The only thing I'm trying to figure out is how to get the most out of the 8GB

Right now my "internal" SD is 5 GB and its filled..basically with music. Shouldnt this be external and where does the rest of that 3 GB go?

Anyone know how to change that?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Go to page 2 of this thread and read where we were discussing the SwapStorage.zip file. This will remedy the error where CM9 incorrectly identifies storage directories.

You can download SwapStorage.zip here: http://www.mediafire.com/?q5n4a4ldap9xa19

Download and flash in recovery. Good Luck, and write back if you need anything else.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alljokingaside:
ah. Phonesky. Huh, you'd think the name be related to the app....Thanks for that. It's in the Gapps zip file. I'm not sure how well it'll take, given that I've tried every combination of every other Market apk (both loaded on boot and sideloaded), but who knows? One more spin can't hurt.

The thing about the DPI also may be why Gmail keeps FC. That's like the first thing I did when I flashed it. The stock browser is pretty fab. One of the nicer one's I've toyed with. Thanks for the help. Sure it'll help other poor fools like me that go in and scramble their electronic brains in a fine mess before doing the regulars.

Again, great ROM and look forward to the updates!

PS out of curiosity...what practical effects does that fact have? besides not being able to play flash vids/games, does it have a significant effect on the experience, the functionality of the video player in the browser?

PPS It'd be awesome- though it'd probably get real, old real quick- if the phone ring or the greeting or whtever sound file they play regularly was that one section from eponymous titled song where Yorke starts the break down- "You don't remember! You don't remember!". Or if the bootup animation was the video. That'd be a trip. Ok. Done rambling now.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
I tried going back to default DPI with the GMail, but it didn't help. So, what I ended up doing is starting from square 1 and doing an entire re-flash of the ROM from the beginning; system wipe, data wipe, cache wipe, as well. Fortunately, I have all my apps backed up, so I am re-installing them now. Flashing GAPPS worked, and GMail worked at first boot.

Oh, and you mention: PS out of curiosity...what practical effects does that fact have? besides not being able to play flash vids/games, does it have a significant effect on the experience, the functionality of the video player in the browser?​

Which "fact" are you talking about here? Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alljokingaside:
This is was I was asking about in the post-postscript. More a point of curiosity, since they both seem to have the same effect (ie run videos on the browser)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alljokingaside:
Ok. So they're up and running. Thanks for the help again.

And to recap for other users: It seems like (and from multiple sources) you need to rewipe data and reflash the Gapps zip to get Market and Gmail working, if they don't "stick" on the first try.

Two requests/suggestions I'd like to make is:

-include a file explorer w/ root access (since the /emmc and /sdcard directories are switched) with the ROM (though really unnecessary when you get Market up and running, I suppose)

-enable Swap support in the kernel. I know it's probably an obnoxious request, but our players do suffer from a lack of RAM that pretty much makes multitasking kaputt. With cheap 32 GB SD cards available, it seems like an ideal solution to allow the SD card to handle some of the work when there's overflow.

Also, I'd like an ETA on a reply, so when you reply to this post, please supply an ETA for the reply to this post. A ballpark figure will do. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
ICS has much better memory menagment then GB so swap is not needed that much.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
To be perfectly honest, I am not sure how the stock video player and YouTube are able to play videos from within the respective applications. I imagine the apps have a different way of downloading and buffering the video as opposed to doing it within the browser.

Undoubtedly, ICS has much better memory management.

But, I think @alljokingaside's request implies a need to switch storage locations, because the default installation path of user apps indicates where the cache (for snappier multitasking) will be stored. So, essentially, if the user has 8GB of internal, but 32GB external, then you could use SwapStorage.zip in recovery to indicate that you want to use the 32GB external as the default location for system installation.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JrixZero:
