[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
that's what i was concerned about after Supermaster34 posted his guide, that many noobs would create a lot of assed together hardly working roms and fill this forum with them.. just what we need! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Really? We all make mistakes from time to time, and quite honestly, this community needs all the dev work it gets, even if it's "half-assed" like you claim. We all have to start somewhere, so please keep your demotivational comments to yourself. I agree, this does need some work, but it's better to correct and forget than to spam the thread with complaints about mistakes.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
in this case you stop spamming with complaints about the complaints. fyi, i didn't complain about anything, in my opinion there's difference between someone being a noob and making mistakes because of it and someone being obviously careless. How can you post a rom without even mentioning what device that rom is for and ignoring guidelines from the guide you are following? I'm sorry if it came a bit harsh, didn't want to hurt anyones egos, was talking in general terms.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] heat361:
Its the guys first rom. Everyone makes mistake even the smartest of devs sometimes forget these stuff. You have to fail to succeed sometimes. Any rom for the galaxy players is accepted as long as they work. It does not matter if built by a noob or a recognized dev, it is welcomed.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
What noteworthy developmental contributions have you made to the SGP forum? If you think you can do a better job developing something, then you do it. You're not always right. Yet, you try to defend yourself, but the harsh truth is you were being downright rude.

I'm sorry, but there's no sense in you discouraging newly established developers from trying new things, when you have not even contributed any sort of development to the community.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Remember that this is the dev forum guys. Please take the arguments elsewhere. If I finish all my work soon I'll test this ROM to see if it works although I need to find my player first XD.

It turns out that it is a rom for the Player 4.0 so I can't test it
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
This is true, sorry for cluttering up this thread, I just felt like I needed to intervene :). As has been said, while soultaker did NOT follow directions, merely a simple correction is needed, not a full-blown reprimand, especially since this is his FIRST dev contribution to the community. Clocking in at under 12 posts, I would say that that's pretty darn impressive, even if his format leaves a bit to be desired.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] soultaker123:
Actually i cant test it out right now since i dont have my player with me. :)

How do i flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] soultaker123:
The same way you flash regular cm9
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] heet1:
i just wanted to point out that it says it is for the 4.0 in the description although not in the title. lol before making comments people should read and sorry ik this is development just wanted to point it out... sorry...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
No, sorry. You're wrong.

I think it is YOU who should do the reading around here. The OP was originally devoid of all technical information. After establishing that fact, and a few arguments on the side, Soultaker went and edited the OP.

You can see where it says he edited the OP on 9/21. The debacle regarding the OP took place before 9/21. So, I believe I'll paraphrase you. This is development, so act like it. Use your brains and look at the information posted first.

You're asserting yourself in an argument that has long been finished; so, before you tell everyone to do something, I suggest you do it first.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
The OP has now been updated to include the relevant information so I guess we can stop arguing about it now. Also arguments do not belong in dev so use pm or something else and don't clutter up this thread. People make mistakes all the time and the best thing we can do is help them learn from their mistakes rather than criticising them at every opportunity

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
As you can see, there is very annoying status bar at the bottom of the screen in Android tablet. It changes your screen resolution and makes screen smaller. My question is how to hide it, to make it auto-hide as the status bar (at the top) of the Android phone
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ic3tea:
I think you cannot hide because you dun have the home key . If you want to close the application you need the back key . :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugotproblemz:
theres prolly is a way..maybe a different launcher(past experience with my phone) or gotta root and get an app for it.

but there is no IMPOSSIBLE in android....sorta...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knives of ice:
Root your tablet and download gesture controls problem solved.

I absolutely hate the status bar as well once you start hiding it you won't go back
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail_flicker:
Just one of the many reasons I will root-and very soon.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Thanks guy for response. I mean I dont want to hide it permanently. When need, we can touch somewhere on screen to reveal it (like "auto-hide the taskbar" on the Windows)

@ knives of ice: could you drop me a link to the "gesture controls" app?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knives of ice:
gmd gesture control root is what you want in the store. there is a support thread on xda too. you can show or hide the bar by making a gesture.

I highly recommend hiding the bar and using button savior from.the store to navigate easily if you need back home etc too
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
thanks, very useful

so there are 2 apps of this kind: GMD GestureControl and Button Savior. Both need root access.

Anything else?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryan.cfii:
Notifications Bar at the top??/

I have many problems with this particular tablet because my hands typically are hold it around the bottom. When holding it or writing notes I am constantly pressing this or that button on the bar and was wondering, is there any way to put the bar at the top of the screen? I personally think that would be way better for accidental touches. Any body have any ideas??? Hiding it is fine, but I would like to just move it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SCClockDr:
Apex Launcher will control both the status bar & Doc with swipe gestures Root NOT needed.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HUYI:
does it auto hide the status bar? i am using go launcher HD atm which doesn't have such option.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SCClockDr:
Not that I recall, there may be a setting for it, not sure. There is a setting to assign the status bar tho a up or down swipe.

Personally I use up to toggle the status bar & down swipe to toggle my dock.

Swyped from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium HD app

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HUYI:
hmm, i may give it a try, thanks for the tip.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigPickle80:
I'd love to know this too. I have a no name brand tablet so i cant root it and the status bar is pissing me off during movies etc, Looking for auto hide function too.

Please anyone (myself included) update the thread if you have any success with this issue.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m8tix:
Well I sorta was also looking for an auto hide option for my odroid x2 and stumbled across Hide Bottom Bar

I personally haven't tried it yet, still looking for a free alternative.

//edit

but yea root is required :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigPickle80:
LOL beat me too it with your edit. You'd think this type of option would be standard to android to be fair.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweakradje:
Actually we don't want gestures. We want a timer and touch event.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6728591/can-not-hide-status-bar

Isn't it possible to start a service that catches touch events, sets a timer and hides the tablet statusbar when the timer ends?

In systemUI of ICS there is in TabletStatusBar.smali:

.field public static HIDE_TABLET_STATUSBAR:Z = false

and

com/android/systemui/statusbar/tablet/TabletStatusBar;->HIDE_TABLET_STATUSBAR:Z

Anyone?

nice one aartv! that app is bang on what i wanted to get rid of that pesky task bar!, thanks given ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweakradje:
I have tried full!screen a while ago and recommended it to other users too.

But it would be nicer to have something like windows had, hide taskbar, you know the hiding taskbar if your mouse was not at the bottom. But then with a timer based on user input.

Perhaps someone can make that? I will ask the creator of full!screen. Must be a killer app then. So many people want to get rid of that tablet taskbar.

Cheers
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsorn:
I'm curious, where did you find this? There is no such boolean HIDE_TABLET_STATUS_BAR in the vanilla android source.. neither in ICS nor JB..

Must be some modification done by manufacturer or some cutom ROM ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweakradje:
Thanks for your time :)

That is in the 4.1.x SystemUI from the RK3066 rom. I have no other references.

Is that custom code then done by the Rockchip SDK?

Cheers
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsorn:
Took a closer look into this... Rockchip extended the code of systemUI to accept a new Flag for configuration (See Flags in class View: SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_...) . That new flag has same Value as View.GONE.

Those flags can only be set by the current foreground activity (Window of an app).

So on Rockchip devices you can instruct your own app to run fullscreen with

getWindow().getDecorView().setSystemUiVisibility(View.GONE);

This unfortunately can only be used by an app for itself and cannot be assigned globally for other apps.

.. but great find anyway!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweakradje:
Thx. It might be even easier. When I look into the code I see below code:

# virtual methods

GMD gesture control. Needs root. Will remove status bar with a swipe and allow swipes to replace home etc.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crammer04:
I have a major problem but i think there is a way to fix it, i just cant figure it out. i was adding google wallet on my rooted s3 and when reverting the build.prop file to its original form, i just copied and pasted the backup and renamed it to the original build.prop to replace the new one using root explorer. my phone does not boot up now i get the samsung startup screen and it shuts off. i could get into cwm recovery mode. any way to fix the build.prop without being able to fully boot the phone? i am on a mac but i could have access to a pc tomorrow if i need.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bbgt2:
Its simple if u have a backup. I have not heard of anyway of getting to build.prop thru recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waiters:
You need to restore from backup (nandroid) or start over if you don't have a backup..

Did you copy the original file to ur sd card then back over?

Chances are you did.. I did the same thing lol.. And when u do that it doesn't save original permissions of the file.

The reason the wallet post says to use root explorer is because it saves the file in the same folder permissions and all and you can just rename it back.

Sorry dude u are sol.. Restore from back up or flash a new rom and start over.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Get into recovery, do a factory reset.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pkirangi:
Any resolution. I have the same problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mattix724:
I don't think that would work, as far as I know a factory reset only wipes data and cache. The build.prop is part of the system, so it will not change.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ibanezbass:
Permissions probably got reset. Resetting to factory will not change the build.prop. Either re-install the rom or...

Do this. This will reset permissions to the correct value without affecting your data. This is easy once you get the hang of it. I do not know if I'm allowed to post up the adb file or I would.

I'm going to run through a quick setup of the Android SDK so that you can use adb if you choose to go this route. The SDK will be useful all though rooted phone usage, so I suggest you download it and use it. ADB is a very powerful tool. First, Google Android SDK. The first result should be the official site for the Google developer section. Just open that top link and the page should have a huge button that says "Download the SDK for (Windows or Mac or whatever)". Click it. Mac users.. Yours does not actually setup. You need to find the SDK Manager app within that zipped download and run it. Windows users... Run the setup. When it's done it will open the SDK manager. Both Users... Check the box next to the "Android SDK Platform-tools". Bottom Right, Install x Packages. Make sure you take note of the SDK path displayed at the top of the manager. EG. C:\Users\Josh\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk. Mac users: Yours will be in the downloaded folder that you extracted. All Users: Navigate to that folder via terminal (mac) or cmd.exe (windows). Windows: cd C:\Users\Josh\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk ... Mac: cd /Users/josh/Downloads/android-sdk/ ... Then navigate to the platform-tools folder that is within the SDK folder. Here is where ADB is located.

Windows instructions:

Download adb.exe, either through the Android SDK or elsewhere. Use Google.

Connect phone to computer via USB.

Boot phone into recovery.

Use cmd.exe (Use Windows key+R, and type cmd in the run window) to navigate to the folder containing adb.

E.g. "cd c:\Users\Josh\Downloads\adb"

Run "adb shell"

This should initiate a shell to the phone allowing you to run commands on the phone. If you get an error, make sure you have the drivers loaded for your phone.

Run "cd /system"

Run "chmod 644 build.prop"

Optional: Run "ls -l" and make sure that the permissions on build.prop show RW-R--R--.

Reboot phone.

Mac Instructions:

Download the adb application, either through the Android SDK or elsewhere. Use Google. Make sure you download the Mac version, not the Windows or Linux version.

Connect phone to Mac.

Reboot phone into recovery.

Open Terminal on Mac. /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app or use spotlight to find it.

Navigate to folder containing the adb app. E.g. "cd /Users/josh/Downloads/adb/"

Run "adb shell"

This should initiate a shell to the phone allowing you to run commands on the phone.

Run "cd /system"

Run "chmod 644 build.prop"

Optional: Run "ls -l" and make sure that the permissions on build.prop show RW-R--R--.

Reboot phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
Side note--> twrp recovery has a built in terminal and the ability to copy/paste files from internal and external SD cards. Not so sure about changing permissions easily....but through the built in terminal....might be able to load what you need (plus twrp flashable found in android dev forum) on external SD card with an adapter on a computer. Flash twrp and transfer files or use built in terminal to change perms. Good luck....

I know editing build props with es file explorer will cause That.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crammer04:
Fixed it!

Thanks everyone for your help, i feel like an idiot for not replying to anyone i didnt have it set up to notify me of replies, i figured out it was the build prop that was messed up, im not sure how this worked but i figured i would try to root again and flash the root files using the simple root steps using odin and it actually fixed the file and booted up fine! i appreciate everyones help and hope this thread helps other people because i know many people screw this up the same way i did. (i will never do anything like this without doing a nandroid backup again). THANKS AGAIN!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crammer04:
thanks but..

So the problem with this route was that for some reason the device was not being recognized by adb, i dont know why, i thought it was a driver issue but once i fixed the phone, i was able to get adb access, so i guess that boot error was preventing it from getting recognized (which i didnt understand because my friend screwed up like me the next day and was able to adb.) but finally fixed it a few days later after trying many things and the fix for some reason was a simple process with odin, i think this article shows what i did, i dont remember exactly tho - http://smartphonefix.blogspot.com/2...r-Recover-Bricked-ATT-Galaxy-S3-SGH-I747.html

If I made a CWM flashable unedited build.prop from a stock SGS3 rom would that help anyone? It just seems easier than all those ADB commands assuming you can still access recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lyrictenor1:
I'm sure that'll probably helpful to a lot of people. Unfortunately, I'm using the stock recovery so it probably wouldn't help me...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stratatak7:
If you're not comfortable with ADB: You should try to flash recovery (recommended TWRP but at this point take anything you can get) from ODIN. I know I've seen it around here somewhere. Once you do that, then flash the attached file.

This will flash in CWM/TWRP etc. I haven't tested it, so send me a PM if it doesn't work and I'll fix it up.

Edit: I've located the proper recovery file for you to flash. It's cwm, but you flash this with ODIN. Download it from here http://k0nane.info/rom/ecm/CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.md5 . ODIN will increase your flash counter, but Chainfire's Triangle Away app takes care of that like it never happened. Odin can be found in the development thread. If you want to automate this process even further just download the qcom toolkit which walks you through the process of installing recovery. I hope this helps.

Lastly, here's the latest TWRP image file with ADB instructions. Short, sweet and simple. http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/104
