i think that would be just fine. essentials is all we need for right now. the more time you spend on ics, the farther JB is pushed. if we could get JB running the way ics is now, that would be awesome

Edit: yay! my 200th post
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Jb seems like a great idea to me! I have been working on trying to get the home button working, and while I haven't figured that out, I did get the earphone button working by replacing /system/usr/keylayout/sec_jack.kl with the file from gb linked.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
and it works perfectly fine?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
I have yet to find any issues in doing it, and it works just as good as on gb, in fact better (faster response).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zamuz27:
That'd be awesome. The only thing I'm waiting for to try this ROM is the camera, but seeing as you guys are making so much progress lately I think we can all be patient.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Probably what I will attempt next. Not 100% sure I can get it to work with my current C knowledge, but I can always hope.

Additionally, everyone expect some rom ports this weekend, and next week (thanksgiving break). I'll also start trying to merge some useful patches/tweaks into our kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] PairOfSocks:
Thanks for this goldflame. I'll try it and see how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
sounds good. also han i want to let you know that the home button when pressed selects somthing but not much more than that.

lets hope you can get back into the encryption error if your not there already
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] PairOfSocks:
YAY! I have linaro up and running! Apparently when I reflashed zacs stock blank efs it did something, as I no longer was getting the error when I flashed the kernel for the first time saying "couldn't convert to mtd" and I didn't even get a encryption error this time. Thanks for all the help guys! And does anyone know what cyanogen statistics are? Should we turn them off because this isn't a genuine cyanogen team built rom? EDIT: And is the wifi problem fixed in this rom or do I need to setup static ip again?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
It should be fine. When I had it, the wifi worked perfectly.

Like zaclimon, I went back to the nebula build without linaro. I would agree that it is much more stable.

Edit: so did you not use my method?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] indyssee:
Glad you got it working. It doesn't matter if you leave on statistics, they just use it to track the # of installs and don't care if its official or unofficial. WiFi has been working fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] PairOfSocks:
No, I didn't need to use your method. And what do you mean by stable? Like runs more apps better? I think I'll just stay with linaro because I finally got it running and don't wanna mess it up :D

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

And by the way guys do you think checking force gpu in the settings would speed up the rom? Or would it have strange effects?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
I can definitely understand that. I felt the same way.

What I mean by stable is that there are not as many errors/problems with this one vs linaro.

and with the whole gpu thing, I have no idea.

Correcting the essentials first would be great! And keep in mind that CM10 is still in nightly status and all AOSP ROMs pretty much depend on CM. Whatever you decide, I appreciate the work everyone has done to get if this far.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] PairOfSocks:
So on a whole do you think that build is faster than linaro?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Personally I can't tell the difference between them. The only major difference is that apps run better on this one. Otherwise there are a bunch of little differences here and there. Why don't you stay on that one for a little and see how you like it. Remember you can always go back to linaro if you decide to switch to the regular one

Sorry to ruin the party but am I the only one that feels the need to go back to stock GB? I think the devs did a fantastic job but I think there are problems beyond them, the hardware. First of all I find the performance worse, meaning that the device hangs and it's slow at times, it takes seconds to open the task manager on average. Also my primary usage with the player is to listen to music while surfing...I can't do it with ICS. Withing one minute I have Opera Mobile + Voodoo Sound + PowerAmp running the OS kills one of them (usually poweramp)...and all those problems come down to one thing, lack of RAM. I don't know if this can be optimized somehow but I have ONLY those three things running as apps/services besides the stock CM9 services.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
I personally think this is more than polished enough to be my daily driver. The performance is actually better than custom gb roms and kernals, at least in terms of gaming. As far as multitasking, yes it lacks a little, but mainly because we are missing 30mb of ram, so wait for the next kernal that fixes that.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
i would have to agree with you on that. personally i find this better than stock was. not only with performance but also with battery life. like i said just my personal thing. i defenitly am happy with it and having been usiong it as my daily driver for a long time.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Hey, I just installed google now, and it seems to run pretty good. It's not buttery smooth, and seems to have a bug so you can't exit using the back button, but it is still awesome! Voice search is wicked fast. If you want it, search "google now for ics project". Obviously, since cwm doesn't work, I installed it manually.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Speaking of installing manually, can I do that for the soft key buttons?

Sent From My YP-G1 running Nebula beta 1
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
No the player will crash if you try to just cut and paste the framework-res.apk, the 2 ways that work are to use winrar to replace the framework-res.apk in the ROM zip before flashing the ROM or flashing the soft-button zip in CWM, just go back to recovery flash it, then flash terrasilent, reboot download and reflash the boot.img to get the ROM to boot again (I've done this so I know it works).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
if i just put this on my device, will both the on screen buttons and the keyboard thing be put on?

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

i also wasn't planning on cutting and pasting. already know it wouldn't work from past experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Actually, I have installed this manually fine with no problems. The trick is to use this special procedure that I have stumbled upon;

1. Exact the zip.

2. Copy the framework-res.apk that you extracted into the /system/ directory, NOT the /system/framework/ directory.

3. From here, change the permissions to rw-r--r--.

4. Now, MOVE (not copy) the framework-res.apk into the /system/framework/ directory, overwriting the original.

5. Hold the power button, it whould automatically reboot, and with any luck, work!

This method works all the time for me, but don't blame me if it doesn't for you. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] -sandro-:
What improvements did you find for gaming? I think I'll just try it again when new releases come out :) for example when the capacitive buttons will work
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] PairOfSocks:
Yeah, but this is still being developed and stock just seems lame compared to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
i think i am going to have to resort to that seeing as android debigging is not working or my computer is being retarted
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Yup, I hate retarded computers, lol! If what you mean by adb not working is you can't get su permission, I just figured out there is an option in developer options to enable root for "apps only", "adb only", or "apps and adb", and it is set by default to "apps only", so to get su permissions in adb you have to change that.

Has anyone else noticed a bug that the airplane mkde icon doesn't show up?

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

Well, using asphalt 7 as an example, it would stagger and freeze like crazy while using icy fusion with terasilent. On ics, it sometimes drops in fps, but it never hangs and is perfectly playable. I will admit that it runs even smoother on completely stock GB, but how lame is that? ;)

Also, a few tips to improve your performance;

1. DON'T USE GO LAUNCHER! I will admit I love go launcher, but it eats way to much ram (much more then the 30mb it says it uses). Example; while using go launcher, I would never have more than 50mb of free ram, and frequently have freezes from running out of memory. Now I use nova with the same amount of widgets, and I always have at least 100mb of free ram, and no more freezes.

2. Set a limit to backround apps in developer options.

3. Disable animations in developer options.

Working on fixing it now. Already saw that setting.

As for airplane mode, look in setting under system for signal icon r something to that nature.

Edit: the setting is set to apps and adb but android commander doesn't recognize it

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
Airplane mode Icon won't show up if have turned off the signal indicator or whatever its called that shows how many bars of cell signal you have, which was probably one of the first things you turned off, I know it was for me, till I noticed that.

And my God yes, Go Launcher is one of the single most "hungry" launchers out there, I remember back in the early days of GB after losing my EFS I went to go launcher so I could do Go Locker and have a lockscreen again, I don't think I had it for more then 3 days it was so bad.

Also everyone complaining on system performance issues, don't forget to install an app like No Frills CPU tuner (my personal favorite) or Tegrak Overclock or any other that does it, and get in there and set the overclock up to 1.2 gigahertz and change the Governor and I/O settings, personally I use SmartassV2 and Deadline but those where my settings from GB so I need to run through the testing again on ICS to see what combination gets the best Quadrant scores. you will not believe how much a difference adjusting Governors can make.

As to ICS vs JB, I would get ICS running as well as possible before starting with JB - I would think that it would be easier to "upgrade" a relatively bug-free rom than one that still has problems, I'm waiting for the camera to work, and some might still want ICS and not Jelly Bean because of flash support or something, not to mention that CM10 isn't fully out yet is another good point... any way, good work and good luck whichever way you go!

I currently run the very first publicly released build of cm7 on my u.s galaxy player 4.0. is there anything special I have to do in order to flash nebula or linaro build on my device?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
as far as i know, cm7 is based off of gingerbread. because of this i dont think there is anything special. to be safe though, i would say to return to stock(if possible) with the terra silent kernel. if are using terra silent now, you should be fine if you wipe data, etc. the only reason i reccomend terrasilent is because it is the one all of us have been using(as far as i know) and we have had no issues.

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

well like you said, for the most part hw acceleration is working. i havent run into any issues. i dont have a netflix account though so i cant really help you there

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

what does this enable/disable?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
CM7 is based on GB but it was also where the whole MTD conversion came from also our kernel is based on the CM7 kernel, so I would suggest using heimdall to restore back to stock then loading terrasilent and going from there, less chance of issues and isn't all that much work to do if you KNOW how.

I have loaded up netflix and STREAMED video on BOTH builds (I HAVE AN ACCOUNT), the videos do take a while to buffer but they do work.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
the cm7 I currently have is the one before the mtd conversion. it is the one that has the upside down camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
i would return to stick definitely. i would rather be safe than sorry. once you get to stock, things gain some level of safety and it certainly does become easier.

for those wanting an accurate time on battery life today i went 14 hours(most of them sitting in my locker doing nothing), and i still have 70% battery left.

i would declare this better than even stock battery life was
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
What could happen if I just flash terra-silent kernal? I Don't think any of my partitions are converted to mtd.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
I have a VERY regular routine that my player is used for and versus my tweaked settings on GB and this ROM I would say i'm about 85-90% the battery life of gingerbread, but thats enough for me for it to be a daily driver.

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

you could get stuck in a bootloop and have to go through with recovery anyway and you will have wasted 10-15 minutes going through the steps in my video just to do them again, when flashing it's ALWAYS best to start from a clean stock system, just make sure and have an EFS backup, if your pre MTD you should still be able to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
like i said im suggesting it because i would think you would rather be safe than sorry. if you really feel up to it and have a way to restore if need be, then i would say feel free to try it. but otherwise, go back to stock first
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] indyssee:
To add a little to this... there's an app on the play store called "Pimp My Rom" that adds easy performance improvements. I only use this as an Mp3 player so I haven't messed with it too much, but the things I did worked and seemed to give a little boost. Just be sure not to use the Apps and Mods section because it uses recovery. The app is still in alpha but the only things I saw missing were help sections (explanations) and GPS.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] PairOfSocks:

So far this is incredible man I LOVE it, seriously keep the work up this is awesome!!! :good:

Is there a way to disable the soft keys? In case you didn't know, a free app by the name of button savior is available and it is far less invasive as the soft key mod. Is there any way to get rid of soft keys without me having to restart the whole process again? Thanks ahead of time!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
you don't have to disable the soft keys, they are a separate OPTIONAL zip for anyone, but targeted at US players due to no home button.

plus I found button savior just plain annoying.

you could use the method for manually loading the soft keys (from a page or 2 back) to push the normal framework-res.apk (that you can get from the ROM zip) back to the device overriding the softkey modded framework-res.apk

do that just with the normal one.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Se7enex:
Could you tell me where to find the original or possibly give me a link? I'd really appreciate it! :P

I have the US and installed it however I think button savior is a better alternative because it doesn't use up screen space which I'm kinda stingy about.

Gah. Does anyone know if restoring this is as simple as reflashing it to stock or do I need to do something extra now that it's in ICS?

P.S. It might be beneficial to future tweakers for you to say somewhere that replacing framework res causes a soft brick.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
The thing is that when you're in recovery, you can't reboot back to rom unless you flash the terrasilent kernel then you flash the ICS kernel again. I know it's tricky but it's like this :S.

And restoring is the same as if you were in GB.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Se7enex:
So, do you think I should just restore to stock and start all over again? :(

I tried the patched services.jar from the build 3.5 dev thread and it works fine at 240 dpi but when I switch it to 120 dpi systemui crashes.

this rom is great but for me having low dpi setting working would be better.

could the soft button patch be causing crashing when switching to 120 dpi with the modified services.jar?

Thank you for all of your help!!!

you where supposed to make a backup of your efs before starting, did you not read the last 10 pages of all the others that didn't make a backup?

If you FAILED to FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS, the contents of your efs file should be saved in a file on the device called EFS.TAR (DO NOT FLASH ICS AGAIN TILL YOU GET THIS FILE OFF THE PLAYER, if you do it will replace that file and your EFS will be FOREVER lost).
