We do have the same BT chip but the module isn't working (activated as it's not either in the kernel or rom) and you don't have your BT mac address so it wouldn't work even if you had this.*Also for the camera, I think we need something related to HW, I would need to ask jackpot but I think he is having his holidays with his family.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ti-pich:
Yes maybe there is something related to HW as there is always a problem with the v4l2 when we log the camera. I think I could have fixed an issue with it, as mentionned before the camera was trying to acquire the position of the picture with the gps wich resuted in a fail everytime, so I removed this section, wich is not really useful unless you want to share the exact position of the picture. Here is the modified lib if you want to try it as I don't know how to compile them into shared object. Don't know if it work but it should remove the error from the log. If it don't work then the error isn't logged wich is not very good as I won't have any clue.

Where do these files go? They don't go in system/lib. Aren't they supposed to replace files that are already there?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ti-pich:
Those file are not usable, this is source code wich need to be compiled into one file to replace the camera.xxxxx.so wich is in system/lib/hw. It's just that I don't know how to compile them for android.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
oh ok i found them. since i also dont know how to compile them, do you think that there is a way that they can be edited in the state that they are in. basically, can i pull them from the device and edit them like a text document, then put them back in and see if they work.

if not, then we are stuck until we can figure out how to compile them or see if somebody can try to do it for us. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ti-pich:
No they can't be edited as compiled file are basically machine language wich is unreadable. Sorry. I will search a bit on using gcc to compile shared object libraries tomorow then I see if I can test it. It's only a matter of learning it but I should be able with my linux and programmation skill to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
ok well i wish you the best of luck and thank you for at least trying
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Isn't this need some special android headers and needs to be compiled with android's gcc? (just knowing, maybe you can use the stock gcc)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ti-pich:
Maybe as they use the android namespace, I try to search this too. Anyway, linux gcc and android gcc should have about the same syntax, if it don't work with the linux compiler then I'll try it with the android one.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Well, concerning the bt mac address, I *might* have solved that.

I was seeing in logcat that whenever I would try to activate bt, it would be looking for a file called /efs/imei/bt_addr which didn't exist. So I noticed there was a file in that directory called bt.txt that consisted of my bt mac address. I renamed it to bt_addr and now I see no logcat errors concerning the whole thing. One problem out of the way?

Just to let you guys know, I am willing to test any fixes that you may have whether its for bt or the camera.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I'll use the teamhacksung's method that reads the bt.txt instead of bt_addr.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ti-pich:
So I tried to use gcc to compile the lib but it wont compile as it says there is some folder missing. I've searched for an android gcc compiler and I've found android NDK wich should work but seems very complex to use. I think it could be easier to simply recompile the rom with this library then just extract the camera.xxxxxx.so and the camera.goldfish.so from the package to push them on our device so we don't need to reflash anything. I try to give a try to android NDK this afternoon.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
If you have to compile the whike rom just go that, that is going to suck. This whole process of testing drivers is going to take a lot longer than I hoped

Sent From My YP-G1 running ParanoidAndroid beta 2
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ti-pich:
I know it's longer to compile a rom but it would be simpler I think because there is a lot of link in those source that need to be established by the comipler, so if we just try to compile the lib, the compiler can't find the other libs that are needed for this one to work like the jpeg encoder or the v4l2 drivers. Thats why I get error of missing folder while trying to compile, I think. Also, I think I would need to compile every file separately and then find a way to compile them together as every example on the web is done with only one file and when I try with multiple file it tell me that it don't support multiple file. Anyway, I don't think this would change a lot our issue, it would only remove the known error in the log. The real problem doesn't seems to be logged as I can't find any other camera relied error, so as zaclimon said, this is probably related to the HW.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Happy new year everyone
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ti-pich:
Happy new year you too. Also, on a side note, I installed spirit fm radio today, it's working well but the warning we get at the first installation about breaking the speaker on galaxy s make me freak a bit. Do you know if this warning is for us too as the galaxy player is almost the same as the galaxy s. I really don't want to break my g player sound to listen radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
I don't know. I didn't use it for that reason
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ti-pich:
I just found something really strange about the camera. I was on preview looking arround and everything was like it is but when I passed it on my computer screen it just became completly crazy. The line on the screen go crazy fast when there is too much light like when looking monitor, tv or close to a light bulb. I can't explain why it do this. This is becoming stranger every day...

Edit: Just a little question for zaclimon, have you tried the libcamera for the galaxy tab p1000 on our device? I've searched throught there forum a bit and they had the same camera issue before they got it working and their libs seems to be about the same as us so maybe they could help. I will take some time to check them correctly to see the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
i also noticed it recently too. i have been meaning to tell you but just haven't gotten the time to.

so by changing the libs, what is the worst that could happen?

you have to do a factory reset and reinstall the rom?

thats the downside to testing
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I've used their libcamera source but not their compiled files. For the moment i'm in stock, trying to edit some files to get CM10 compiling. Also the camera goes fast because it's like this for every camera (to my knowledge) only that this have a kinda weird bug associated with it.

Also on a side note, the recovery fix is almost here. I need to remake my partition layout because I'm missing something on it. I'm waiting for some dev's reply and I can go through this (hopefully) :D.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ti-pich:
There is no really danger of changing the lib, just take a backup of the one you have(camera.xxxxxx.so and camera.goldfish.so) and then paste the other over and reboot. If it don't work just put your backup on. If you could try it or post the libs of the p1000 I would greatly apreciate as I am very limited on download with only 3gb/month and I try to limit myself on rom downloading. If you have the time just download the rom and get system/lib/hw/camera.xxxx.so and camera.goldfish.so. Here is a link to the latest nighly http://get.cm/?device=p1. Also I looked a bit in the libs and the only change I've seen is camera specification like size of the picture, focal lenght, etc. These specification could be closer to our.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Okay while this has been reported several times already I hate to bring it up again but I am having the red flashing border when doing certain things and I change my build prop and nothing happened I still get the same red border box thing whatever you want call it
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ti-pich:
Strange the build.prop should do it. Have you enabled anything in developper option? I attach my build.prop if you want to try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
The only things I have checked are android usb debugging and back button kill app.

Not sure I can use your build.prop cause we are on different roms. I am going to use it for reference though.

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

All fixed. Used a method I call manual reset.

It was set on user with the red border.

Set to eng and still have red border which was expected.

Set back to user and it is now working without border
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ti-pich:
So I tested the P1000 libs and it doesn't seems to be better. The preview is blury and lag even more and the camera fc when I take a picture. Only good thing I've seen is that it seems to focus alright as the focus box go green before fc. I've took a log of it so I'll read it a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
if anyone here has a google voice number and the google voice app installed maybe you can help me.

i have installed the app and turned on background syncing but there is one slight problem. when i get a text, i dont get a notification for it, when i go into acount sync and settings in settings, there is not option to background sync google voice. dont know if there is fix for this.

edit: all fixed never mind

also, ti-pich, thanks for testing out those libs as i haven't had time to. i just got back to school :( and got BOMBED with homework.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Sorry if I'm late for the party, but I haven't been following 4.0 development as much since I started working on CM10.

You don't need to build the entire ROM to test a library modification. After running ". build/envsetup.sh", lunch and selecting the device, you have two options, which both do the same thing:

mmm device/samsung/ypg1/libcamera

or

cd device/samsung/ypg1/libcamera
mm

Note that neither of these will build dependent libraries first, so you will either need to make the full rom once, or look at the libraries listed in Android.mk and build those as above.

That's because you're on an eng build, and the app is "doing too much on its main thread". You will have to switch to a userdebug build for it to go away. The setting/build.prop probably won't affect it.

For the player 5.0, the crespo (Galaxy S) libcamera seems to be working the best (we tried the P1 too). YMMV, I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ti-pich:
Thanks for the info but I don't have any dev environnement seted up so I can't test it for now. Also, great work with cm10 for the 5.0, that's really nice even if I don't have a 5.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Great news (JB)

Great news guys, with the modified build tree I've managed to do, I was able to get the CM10 port into our galaxy players/s wifi 4.0. The thing is when I get past the boot logo, I have a message saying to me that I have to type a password to decrypt storage. Does anyone knows how to remove it? (I've asked mevordel for his help, waiting for his reply.)

EDIT: I corrected something in my config and it's working now :p Here's some proof.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] soulshinobu:
That's great news! As for the password issue, have you tried factory resetting in recovery? My cousin's Nexus S had an issue like this, a factory reset solved it.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
It is fixed now :p. I just don't have wifi and vibrator working because I didin't put their modules into my device tree. (I know it's stupid :rolleyes:)

EDIT: Seems that sound isn't working too but I think I didin't change my libaudio to fit with our devices.

EDIT2: As far as I can see, the project butter thing is real LOOL. This thing runs as better(maybe a bit better) as LinRom (and this is with stock GCC from 4.1 source). I will try to fix the sound and then I'll return with the recovery.

When you get everything driverwise in there and working hopefully I am willing to be a tester for you.

I'll be a tester too, but only if it is CWM flashable.. cuz I can't get my computer to recognize my player :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] soulshinobu:
I would help test, however my sister uses my player for school and such, and I don't want to mess anything up.

If you have Samsung drivers installed, uninstall it, plug in the player, and let it install. Otherwise, try another USB port of you have yet. A different cable might help as well.

Have you heard something about nandroid? It's a magical tool I tell you. With this, you can backup all your data and when you will have finished with testing, you can revert back to what you've been before. :good:

This applies if you have GB, for ICS it's another story...

People in this 5 of January, I would need somebody with a good (if not powerful) computer to help me compile CM10. the reason of this is, I messed up my device tree and as I'm redoing it, my old computer can't give me a build fast enough to test and debug. (And I have CM9 to compile too.) If somebody with a computer powerful enough to compile in less than 5-6 hours, please mention your user here so it will be easier for me for your help.

I got this ROM after Ethereal crashed again...after 5 months with no problem.^^ It (ethereal) couldn't load apps from external SD and background+layout were gone. No problem since I'm using this device only as a portable music player.

Some Feedback for further development and other users:

1. ondemandx as a governor is missing. This was the only governor that plays music without lagging @200Mhz while screen is off. InteractiveX is also good, but music lags more. With some undervolting and 100Mhz and max. 200Mhz this device is able to run music more than 50 hours with the stock player and up to 30 hours with PowerAMP.

2. Forget Voodoo Sound for our devices. The Player got some serious noise floor. I thought my player was to blame, but it was Voodoo Sound. After dropping it and a reboot the sound was ultra clear. But unfortunately you have to turn the volume up louder since the overall max volume is lower.

3. Walkman player is even better than PowerAMP. Together with noozxoide it rocks. But I wasn't able to get this running on our device (crashes). Only works on my other Samsung devices. Here are the links to get more sound

Awesome work guys, lot has happened in my absence, booting cm10, a couple of new budding devs (I'm always open to PM's if you need help), and a lot of progress from you guys! Sorry I've kinda dumped you unexpectedly, but school's always a priority, and I've moved on to better, and more entertaining projects in my spare time (currently in the middle of putting the finishing touches on my Rbian (raspberry pi xbian) project, that I can send media to, and remotely control...all through my tablet. With CEC enabled as well, the TV remote works as a backup. I've actually been surprised at how easy it has been to get this all working, awesome how much docu,entation the Pi has (open source ftw), and the fact that a lot more worked out of the box than I expected.

Anyway, I'm still here if anybody needs any assistance (I still check this account every day or two), and I wish you the best of luck.

Sorry, didn't checked this thread.

Yes I had to reboot, because after uninstalling voodoo the noise floor was still there and of course the higher volume. Didn't changed anything with poweramp.

But when I use the EQ of PowerAMP there is some noise level too. But well I forgot how it sounds when there is no modification :( I used market enabler to install nooxzoide from play store. Sound quite nice, but still not perfect.

...oh forgot I used my earpods all the time. gonna test it with my better headphones

EDIT: Oh my gosh, volume is really quiet. (only 32 ohm) almost 75% to get good sound.with voodoo I only needed 30-45% Volume. Nooxzoide seems not working. no hearable difference when I'm changing EQ and profiles.

But at least there is no noise floor which would drive me crazy.

Hey just a curiosity question for you guys. For this rom, what are you using for a launcher or are you just using the pre-installed one (I'm assuming that its apex)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
running the built-in one myself, but I really don't use my player any more, on my phone I'm using Launcherpro but I might go back to normal, Launcherpro gives me the more Gingerbreadish (if that's even a word, LOL) popup when I hit the menu capacitive key instead of the humdrum selection box of ICS for getting to settings and wallpapers and WIDGETS (I don't like how widgets are part of the app menu in ICS and up), but I get weird blank screens or "frozen" transition effects since my phone went to ICS, there easy to get around so its not that big a deal. One cool thing you get with Launcherpro is in the app menu instead of swiping thru pages you scroll vertically as one big page.

I would STAY AWAY from Go Launcher as it's a memory hog, HOLO launcher (which give the BEST ICS feel to GB) is a battery HOG so avoid it there are more but I haven't tried many others.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] soulshinobu:
I believe Nova has better performance, but lack of options in the free version, where as Apex supposedly performs just a little lower than Nova, but has more options in the free version. Apex runs just fine for me, both as a system app and a user app. Really, it comes down to personal preference, in which I prefer Apex.
