windows won recognize the device unless you have usb mass storage enabled.

also make sure that your device in in download mode when doing this. steps are as follows:

put device in download mode

plug into computer

run zadig.exe

options --> list all devices

then in the menu of devices click samsung usb composite device

install driver

in heimdall you wont be able to tell if heimdall recognizes it or not.

this is hiemdall when you first start it up

this should be heimdall when youve added everything in.

now all you have to do is hit start

also both of these pics have comments that will help you. good idea to look at them. also feel free to comment
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
zac here are some more camera logs.

also dont know if anyone can help me figure out what is causing chrome no to work on the PA rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] PairOfSocks:
Anyone know if the issue where some pictures would not show up is fixed in V2? Or the problem when the battery got low the notification bar would disappear?

How do I enable USB mass storage?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Here
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
First, there's no storage only option... Second, did you mean USB debugging because that's the only option I see... Plus, I already have that enabled and it still won't recognize my player
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Because I am kind of lost, what rom are you using
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
Dream Ultra Beta 2
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
alright well skip the whole usb thing
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
OK... So I did it, it said Installation Successful but then when I re-plugged the player, it said the same thing, "USB device not recognized." What Do I do? Restart the computer?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
nope just continue
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
Arrite... I took a series of screenshots just to fix this problem.. nothing worked

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dfbqihc33tqzgvr/Screenshot (19).png this one shows that odin does not recognize it... well its not green, so if i flash anything its gonna brick my device (first hand experience)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nsn2p84k5h1ja15/Screenshot (20).png this one shows heimdall how I cant seem to add a PIT file

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ncde8vsz1lbpvf4/Screenshot (22).png Driver installation successful.. but still does not work

https://www.dropbox.com/s/iv3ctcaov28jmlp/Screenshot (21).png USB device not recognized after the stuff

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
hit browse next to the pit file
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
And then?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
find the pit file and click ok. then follow the instructions from the 2nd screenshot

also odin is never going to show it as green. never has
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
What pit file though? and even if i put a pit file.. I wont be able to flash it due to the fact that i cant click start
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
pit: here

hit browse in heimdall and find the pit and click ok.

next hit add

then from the drop down menu in the screenshot, click kernel

then click browse, the one next to the add button and find the kernel and click ok

then click start.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
Let me mention it again: I CANNOT click kernel or start for some reason... Its greyed out

:/
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
in heimdall you must add the pit file before you can do ANYTHING!!!!

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2ZcXCdM0CVJLThQYXJnbFU2YU0/edit?usp=sharing in the flash tab this is what it should look like after you add the pit file.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2ZcXCdM0CVJTWlLd1V5c0JvYVE/edit?usp=sharing then click add

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2ZcXCdM0CVJR0VSMjhNckNxV1U/edit?usp=sharing then the menu for kernel

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2ZcXCdM0CVJZ09zZV82WjFpRGM/edit?usp=sharing then the kernel itself.

there you go
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
Ok then.. Let me get to work, I'll keep you updated.

EDIT: So I add the "boot.img" right? What do I do after? Are you sure my player won't get bricked?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
yes the one from inside the zip file. but also LEAVE it in the zip file. just in essence copy it.

as long a you have a us player, then you should be fine
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
What happens now?

And How would I flash a kernel without a PIT? Do I NEED a PIT to flash a kernel with heimdall? Its says in the installation instructions of PA to flash the kernel you had before.. So would I need the PIT to flash terrasilent?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
you need the pit for EVERYTHING. this is the parition layout so heimdall knows where to put stuff
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Does any one have adb working on this rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Me , It's working on Linux and windows.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
What options do you have. Checked under dev options
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Only usb debugging checked. Maybe you need to update your adb or reinstall drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
I have the sdk tools which I installed fairly recently.

If it was the drivers, which ones would I have to reinstall?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
The Samsung ones but if your player working as it should, then it's maybe something with your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
I happened to have just wiped everything and reinstall it. Not a problem with the device. Maybe the rom
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Maybe well I've been using the rom and keep flashing it and I never got any problem with adb up to now.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
I'm using PA not this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Oh I don't know about pa but maybe you could ask theraf about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Posted but no reply yet.

For any of you wondering. I went to the thread about battery replacement for this device. Ordered a battery I though would work, in this case the galaxy mini battery, and guess what? Doesn't fit. Guess I'm gonna have to stick with the oem battery
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Seriously? Well why don't you buy another oem battery then?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
I want one with a higher capacity. Want it to last longer
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] theraf:
adb works fine in PA
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Weird. It doesn't work for me
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
for whatever reason amazon changed the battery at the link I provided in the battery thread a long time back, even if I pull it up now (from my order history) it's a different battery then the one I ordered, also YOU WILL NOT find a replacement battery that gives you more battery life then the stock one, despite there claims of higher capacity, the physical size limits storage capacity and the OEM battery is the best you will find.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rensaionji:
help me, i got stuck in samsung logo after flashing this according to the video listed in second post, what should i do?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
can you try to remember what you did and post the steps so that we can look at what you did

and yes i know you watched the video but post them anyway
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
Hey guys,

So after so many years of bricking and unbricking and bricking again... etc, I decide to flash an ICS ROM.

I wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache and then head on to the part where I have to flash the zip.

I do... And result? This is what it says:

...... (Everything before was successful.)

Converting to mtd..

assert failed: run_program("tmp/convert_to_mtd.sh") == 0

E:Error in /sdcard/external_sd/linromv2.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

What do I do?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Is your efs running up?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
Yeah, efs is good
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] theraf:
wype /system in cwm and try again
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] the playa!:
I already wiped the system before... And the problem was not only for this ROM, but also for Paranoid Android.... Which are the only two ICS ROMs I attempted to flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
i know this is off topic but does anyone know of an app that gets the album art for music stored on my external sd card. i have tried a couple but they only scan the internal sd card
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] caseyatbt:
Last night I had a freeze up. It was stuck on a blank screen. I pulled the battery and tried to restart. It booted into recovery. I pulled the battery again and it booted into recovery. I cleared cache's and it still will only boot into recovery. Has this happened to anyone else and is there a solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
The freeze up has never happened. As for recovery, you need to flash gingerbread kernel then flash the cm9 kernel and you should be set
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] caseyatbt:
So, I have to start over to get this ROM working again?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
No but you have two options.

1. Wait for the new building to come out later today on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1950453

2. Do the flashing which is I my kernels and will not affect anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
NO, flash a gingerbread kernel after it boots into that recovery go to reboot download mode in that recovery then flash the kernel for this ROM and it should boot up normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] caseyatbt:
Thanks, I will try it this weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] caseyatbt:
I have the TerraSilent kernel, I am guessing it is Gingerbread. How do I get the ICS kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
You can pull a copy of the boot.img from the linrom zip file or you can abandon this build and get over to a MORE functional CM10 build that everyone is on now and is much easier to install http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2233983
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] caseyatbt:
I am trying to move over to that one. I tried to flash it but I get an error. I thought if I could get this working, I could get that one to load.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
You have to flash back to stock, then flash Terra silent kernel, then flash jb via cwm.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
Flash back to stock (make sure you restore your EFS) then flash terrasilent then REMOVE YOUR MICROSD CARD from the player before you flash the 2 parts of the new ROM. If your EFS is not intact and/or you have the SD card still in the player IT WILL NOT WORK. also please post about that ROM in that thread and not this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] caseyatbt:
I can only boot into recovery. Do I backup the EFS before returning to stock or after. If before, can this be done from recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] markymark567:
DO NOT try to flash cm9/10 over linrom. it wont work, and you will have to flash stock anyways. My advice is give up on linrom. its tough to install if you dont know what your doing and its very buggy. Zac and bbelos' new builds are amazing!!!

you must have a backup of your efs from STOCK if you didnt make a backup before you flashed linrom then you may be screwed. flash back to stock and see if your efs in intact. If it is not intact (no lockscreen or power menu) then you must restore it with a backup. if you dont already have a backup, then your screwed.

Also, I am not going to answer your question about backing up efs because THERE IS ALREADY A THREAD FOR THAT. The Cm9 and 10 threads tell you how to back it up and Zacs recovery thread has everything you need to flash stock and restore efs. Frankly if you cant read up on this info a bit, you shouldnt flash any of these roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
You where warned in the install video to backup your EFS and that IT CAN"T BE DONE IN CWM in the install video, if you even tried to flash this without making that special backup then your pretty screwed, but don't wipe the internal storage there is still a chance that the conversion process created an efs.tar that is on the internal storage of the player, in which case it is possible to "rebuild" your EFS, but to be honest it's getting annoying trying to walk people through how to fix something that wouldn't be a problem if they followed the INSTRUCTIONS so your on your own now, I'm done giving EFS tech support, sorry if that sounds mean, but if you've had to deal with as many people as I have over this issue you would understand.

I had an excuse, I lost my EFS back in the CM7 beta days before they warned you about this but nowadays that warning is EVERYWHERE.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] markymark567:
+1 I'm so tired of this
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Oh I literally forgot about the solution I had to come with :eek:. But I agree with you in that one. It's becoming quite a bit annoying now...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] caseyatbt:
I found my EFS file. I got the other rom installed and I am setting it up now. I didn't mean to cause you to get irritated.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Well the problem is that there have been a ton of people who have had this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] caseyatbt:
I understand. After I set this up I never really came back to the thread to keep up with things. Then I had a problem and came back to find out what to do. I had forgotten over time that I had followed this step by step and had the EFS backup. There is definitely much more to this than your average Samsung phone which I have done a lot of rom flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] theraf:
i was using your kernel from the very first linrom (the one you posted on zac's thread...i'm trying again with the latest linrom kernel)

what error should I be looking for in the logcat if the touchscreen doesn't work??
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
The touchscreen module doesn't insmod. Copying it from /system/lib/modules to a different location and insmoding it should work. Try the one in system/lib/modules as well if it doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] theraf:
which .ko file is the touchscreen module?

it's qt602240.ko right?

1) i get insmod: init_module '/system/qt602240.ko' failed (Exec format error) - any ideas?

2) if i insmod qt602240.KO then i get 'insmod: can't open'
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] crancpiti:
is it normal, that switching from gingerbread to ICS destroys the Backup from all the apps titaniumbackup backupped? xD
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Ics and gb have different ways of running apps. Therefore, you need the ics version instead of gb version.

rebooting helped though :D

i still have some problems with my apps but mostly estethical problems :P

while recovering my apps my player froze 3 times. One time i had to reboot and it also started to reboot without warning. Dont know if thats a problem of the rom ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I don't have any problems restoring them :confused: It should be a problem with your device in this case.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Which one are you getting the error on? /system one? /lib/modules one? If you're getting it on both, try a different kernel (maybe from my thread).

Yes, I believe so. Don't quote me on this, but like zaclimon said, it may just not be compatible. Does it show up on your sdcard using a file explorer? If so, then that's the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
Restore apps but not DATA, this is a standard of GB to ICS with Titanium backup, you can restore apps but not DATA.

Han, maybe add install video to OP? might help some.

Everyone, I find it best to start from stock GB with terrasilent kernel then flash the ZIP.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Nice idea, but the install process is the exact same as any of the other ICS versions we have floating around out there :). I'll see if I can find your video (new one maybe?), and put it in the OP.

EDIT: Nice video! I'll be sure to put it up in the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
I know it's the same process, some people just need it clarified that it is, just got the latest Linaro here up and going, loading up my "standard" apps now.

FYI for EVERYONE, I just tested EVERY governor/scheduler combo available in the kernel with Quadrant standard edition and ran it twice on each the 2 highest where SmartassV2 with Deadline and Performance with deadline, the worst was powersave (for the love of whatever deity you worship do not use powersave) powersave quadrant score less then 25% the score of the next worst.

Also side note, have any of you seen the video on my youtube channel of how loud my headphones can get with this player and voodoo sound, this was done at max volume with poweramp and voodoo sound set at 0db http://youtu.be/Tnd_wKNqkhs
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Se7enex:
Finally.

Finally managed to get this installed, made some stupid mistakes first time attempting but it's working now.

I'll be sure to report my experience on this ROM.

(a tut or link to one would be helpful for newbies like me in the future)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] theraf:
i'm getting it on both and i'm using your newest kernel, I noticed that the nebula rom lacks qt602240.ko completely...how does touchscreen work there?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
just use heimdall to restore back to stock gingerbread and start from scratch, thats what I always do and I don't have any issue using the latest.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] crancpiti:
so... now my Apps are mostly restored but it seems videos dont work?

is that a Rom problem or did i do something wrong? :D

EDIT: i have flash player installed but that shouldn#t be a problem. because my normal movie player doesnt work either...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] theraf:
i highly doubt that will help...read the previous page and you'll understand why ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
There seen to be quite a few people who have this problem. Like I said before, is there someone who can post a logcat from this?it may not help but its worth a shot

Yes thank you for that, it was very helpful. I believe the issue is a commit zaclimon made earlier, which increases our availible memory, that broke video playback (possibly not enough Vram dedicated). I will reverse the commit and recompile today, to see if it makes a difference,
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Not really because I can get mine's to play smoothly. Although I'm using other OMX drivers that get it to play nicely.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
I see, can you push that if it's stable enough?

Just some updates for people:

Unfortunately, rom ports won't be happening this week. I have been having some weird trouble getting the repos to sync, so i'll probably look into that sometime later this week. Christmas break is coming up soon as well, so I can get a lot done then.

I am currently compiling a new linaro package with a lot of extra optimizations, so once that's done and tested, i'll be sure to upload it. I also just pushed my linaro kernel source to github, so that you guys can look it over if you want. It looks like it overwrote most of the ICS tree, but it that's just some github commit history weirdness. It should not compile with any errors if you use linaro toolchain 4.6.3 or below. 4.7 is getting some odd issues, so if someone with knowledge of compilers can help me fix that, I would be grateful.

As for my build guide, I didn't get around to it this weekend, but expect it sometime soon-ish. In the meantime, PLEASE pm me any questions you have about building, however noobish, and I will be happy to help.

Planned optimizations (all should bring nice improvements):

-o3 (building now)

-fstrict-aliasing (involves some time-consuming patches, maybe soon)

-fmodulo-sched (enable full use of our hardware. Again, time-consuming patch)

You tell me?

Kernel:

increase OC to 1.5 (Stable for me?)

Improved cpu/IO schedulers

Fast charging?

USB OTG?

Zram (soon)

GPU O/C: I know you guys really want one, but somehow the GPU clock is tied to the CPU clock, and it's hard/impossible to do (unless someone can find some nice documentation on it). Additionally, our GPU really doesn't need it. At this point, our CPU suprisingly is the major bottleneck (with physics and such). For example, I can run GTA on full at about ~15-20 FPS, but when collisions occur (hence stressing the physics engine, which is largly cpu-dependent), it slows to a stop. Additionally, increasing availible ram (perhaps with Zram) will greatly help with these larger games.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] crancpiti:
OC 1.5 sounds really nice :)

do you have an idea how to fix the weird video problem?

and i think soon you will have some really noobish PM's from me because i'd like to make/modify a rom but really don't know where to start :P

BTW: do i need Java/C/C++... knowledge to do that?

i only know Python/Pascal and 1% Java ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
99% of the time, no. I have an absolute minimum knowledge of C (but a bit of a background in programming), and all I need to do to fix build errors most of the time is to google them. If you aren't doing anything fancy, and just compiling staight from source, you shouldn't run into any build errors.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
It always depends of what you want to do on the device. If you're talking about building from the tree or making simple framework modifications, well it dosen't require that much experience. However, if you manage to port ICS or JB and nobody have ported something before yourself, then yes you would need a lot of experience. The chance we had with the 4.0 is that there was people before us (mostly the I9000 devs and google themselves with the nexus S) which worked on these devices. And because our devices are that much simmilar, we were able to port it. If we wouldn't have these preminilary works before, it would be a little longer before ICS would be released to the 4.0. ;) The same can be said with the 5.0 too.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
FYI for Poweramp users, after installing poweramp you may notice the volume level seams much quieter on headphones, simply power the device off and back on and it should be back to normal levels. This applies to ALL the ICS builds on our 4.0 players.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Alright, brief update for you guys. I have compiled the rom with some MORE optimizations, but not the the extent that I want too (due to time constraints). Also added a stable 1.5 O/C to the kernel and a few config tweaks that provide some extra performance (still working on optimizing that, and I need to recompile, as the modules broke). All in all, expect an update within the next few days, with a decent 15-20% performance increase over last release, with more to some in the following week. Also working on kernel patches (zram and such), but haven't wuite looked into it enough to work on it yet.
