I'm using adb and applying theme successfully. What is the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Well, I put my edited pngs in the apk using 7zip like i always did with gb, push the file manually with root explorer, but nothing sticks. I think some people where having issues of some sort with adb, but I can't be sure, since I never use adb.

Googling around, the symptoms seem to match that of a secure boot.img, so I thought it might be the problem.

the kernel is definitely insecure because we get superuser acces in the adb shell
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Hmm, then I guess the default.prop is just incorrect? In that case I really can't think of what is causing my problem. Can anyone else confirm that they can replace pngs in SystemUI.apk and it takes effect?

I have time to try porting 3.x kernel and jb but I have no proper computer to build it. My computer is too laggy and slow. I just can try porting kernel because it is not that hard work, but rom takes too much. Is there anyone who can build jb on one's PC?

Sorry, I'm in the same boat as you - using a five year old laptop that was considered average when I bought it. It tends to crash if you do anything more cpu intensive then browsing the web, lol!

A little update on the issue I am having with theming; it is an issue with SystemUI.apk only - I can theme framework-res.apk and other system apps fine. My suspicion is it is something to do with the cm9 theme chooser.

I've got a computer with a sandy bridge i7 and 4GB of RAM - I'd be happy to help with compiling as long as someone can help me get linux on here - I just don't know when it comes to which flavor of linux would be best in this case etc. I don't know much about dev'ing in this sense but I am writing (still a bit in the learning process) Android apps - as I said, I'm ready to use this computer if other people need to do compiling and stuff.

Use ubuntu, search for "wubi" on google, it let's you install ubuntu from windows without much hassle

i'd go with ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx, here's a link to it
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] trainman261:
OK, I've got a 64-bit system, is it better that I use 64-bit (for speed), or does some of the development stuff need a 32-bit OS (I think I read something about Linux being able to support even 16-bit on 64-bit, but just to be sure)?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] theraf:
i'd go with 32-bit
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] trainman261:
OK, got that done, it installed quickly, I hope that's a good sign - there are a couple of driver issues - brightness is stuck at full - it's burning my eyes... and the battery, I can't get WiFi to work (it's asking me for very exact details, when I just want to use WPS - I haven't tried ethernet yet, but I should just be able to transfer files from Windows 7 to Linux, so I won't bother), and the touch screen isn't working. But I can live without that stuff for now... so what's next - what do I need to install - Android SDK, Eclipse?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
I hope that you didn't install linux over your windows. Having both is nice but i have to fix my linux because it isn't installed correctly.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] trainman261:
What do you mean by installing Linux over Windows? It's the install that doesn't create a second partition, but dual-boots, and other than the driver issues (that don't bother me that much), everything seems to be working fine. If you mean that I replaced my Windows 7 setup, I definitely didn't do that:p, I'm writing this from my Windows 7 setup. I just didn't install the drivers, so everything is working under default drivers, and obviously some won't quite work with my hardware - I wasn't really expecting the touch screen to work...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
how do you get the wifi to work, i have the same problem.. do i use the ethernet in ubuntu to make it connect?

And for the compiling, I could also be a help but would need guides to assist me as the compiling would be going on... I have a 750 GB Hard Drive and 8 GB of ram..

Edit: and 3rd generation Intel core i5 with turbo boost
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
whenever i had linux, granted i had 11.04, wifi always worked. didn't need any special drivers
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
i got that problem when i downloaded 12.04
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
I'm putting my money on you both having BCMxxx wifi adapters, as they are essentially to only wifi cards that cause an issue with ubuntu. Can you confirm which card you each have specifically? Just google how to look it up in ubuntu.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] trainman261:
I'll look it up later in ubuntu, but what I know about it is that it's Intel Wifi-n-advanced (I think 6205).

Update: I switched into Ubuntu last night, and I tried to use Ethernet, which didn't seem to work either... I don't mind not having Wifi, because I'm fine with Ethernet, but that doesn't seem to be working either - unless I'm spoiled by Windows doing everything automatically and I somehow need to give Ubuntu some exact information like MAC address, DNS servers etc. - because when I make a new connection in "Network Connections" that's what it seems to want from me.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ChaosChris:
have a question can i use the kernel for cm7? becouse it has the deep sleep bug and here its fixed :)

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
No, as the ones that have the deep sleep bug fixed are also using newer drivers, which are NOT compatible with CM7.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ChaosChris:
Hmm okay thanks. can you help me to fix the bug on the cm7 Kernel? Or can you point me to the solution to fix IT? Thanks!

Can i merge this https://github.com/TeamSupernovaSGP...mmit/e36ae65563ea09a26d4a14edf2247e6eedef71ad into tdmcode´s cm7 kernel and recompile it? or does it need more work to fix deep sleep bug?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Update!

Hi folks, merry christmas!! In this day of holidays I've found something really interesting for the recovery issue. Actually I've managed to change my partition layout (it reads from a definition file on the kernel instead of reading it on the pit inside the device.) and have found the principal causes of the recovery not booting. From what I see from other devices, it seems to be related to the bootloader (not sure) I will more focus on this next week as I go on vacation tomorrow. :D

EDIT: Also as you've maybe seen on the LinICS thread. Oisis says that his device is pretty dead...

Long story short after some research I changed the dpi to 300 via rom toolbox pro. Obviously everything is too big. I wanted to change it back but I can't access all the values I need to in order to do so. Any tips? Can i just reflash or do I have to do some of the other steps with the kernel, etc. Just trying to avoid a brick.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Why don't you reput the dpi into the stock one? (I don't quite remember, I think it's 160)

Big announcement!! :D

Ok guys, hmmm I would have waited for it later but because the results nearly coming in well I think I should make an announcement. So here's the situation. I was searching some devlopper that could help me with the recovery problem. Hopefully I've came across a dev named bbelos that wanted to help me with the device. Without success, I've asked him a favor and that one would be if he could buy a device to help me getting a good CM build and kernel.

He replied yes.

At that moment, I knew that the Galaxy Player/S Wifi 4.0 would have a second life!!(or a third one, that depends) :D Right now, the recovery issue is fixed and a new build of CM9 should come soon. (NO ETA)

So long story short: A new dev has come to help us from our tragedy (and the 5.0 update monoply ;)) and he will help us getting new updates for the 4.0. (in case you've forgotted his name, it's bbelos :p)

And reboot to recovery from system work too.

So, not to nag, but do you have an idea of where this is going next? Are you going to work on getting stuff working, or go for jellybean?

Edit; So I'm sure you have already thougouly researched this, but I decided to do some looking into home button issues on other devices with ported cm9. The general concensus seems to be it is almost always related to gapps, but this couldn't be our issue, since the home button doesn't work in cwm, so it is kernel - not system- related, correct?

In this case, it's may be kernel related. Remember the green box? I think the home button was recognized but it wasn't playing it's role as the home button. I have my idea on this but it won't be incorporated in today's build.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Well, it should eliminate the process of flashing a gingerbread kernel and back to cm9 kernel to get out of the recovery loop. As far as gapps and such, if you want them, you'll still need to flash them.
