[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
First of all download this stock recovery rom for the USA 4.0 found here (thank zalcimon please) http://www.mediafire.com/?aodm44hzan3jauo

Now you must install Samsung Kies on your PC to get the correct drivers. Then you must download and install odin found here:

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...IxHp1ISlP2fzGKhtw&sig2=ZjUHLCkIbG1_EprOk9enrA. After that you need to put the player into download mode, by first turning off the player completely and then to put it into download you must (Hold volume down and power).

Here's the fun step. Open up Odin and make sure only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked or YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE *THE HORROR*. Plug the Galaxy Player into the USB Port (while it's still in download mode) and Under ID:COM it should say something like 0:[COM4] and is yellow. Where it says message it should say "Added!!"

You have to now hit PDA and select the .md5 or .tar file(this is the recovery rom you downloaded early). Hit Start and it should take about 2-4 minutes to finish. If you get bootloops then you must turn off the player, and put it into the stock recovery. Hit wipe data/factory reset, and Wipe cache Partition.

Flashing a kernel is very easy when you use odin. Basically it's the same steps as flash a rom. All you have to do is hit PDA select steve s kernel (make sure it's the .tar file) and hit start. It should take about 10 seconds and you're done hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Xpwnage123:
Thanks for the reply. You're giving me a better idea of what exactly it is that I need to do.

Unfortunately, I already tried flashing the recovery rom in Odin, but it doesn't work because it's a zip file. I tried unzipping it in both WinRar and 7Zip, but all I get is a folder with several items in it. I can't properly flash back to stock because I don't have a stock .tar file.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
Dang it lol. I have the .tar file, and I'm going to use a site called www.transferbigfiles.com that lets you email big files to people. However, the good thing is that they let you share links. Here it is https://www.transferbigfiles.com/dd8765db-edaf-4d58-a798-3d091429974c/hfVImIZm4TURWTX05abOQw2. Be warned though this will only be here for 5 days so download it in this time please.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
why just not use the stock in zaclimon's recovery thread
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
I did lol, but apparently the file that is used for odin isn't a .tar/.md5 file.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
dont mean to be mean, but what are you taking about.

he has links, separate but there, for both odin and heimdall packages.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
I removed odin because too much people were complaining about it not working...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Ohhhhh ok nvm then. I think I still have a stock rom rooted that is less in size but for us devices only
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
If you can upload it permanently then that would be nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Xpwnage123:
I tried those, but obscuresword was correct in stating that the files linked aren't in .tar or .md5 format, and thus they can't be flashed with odin.

Anyways, I tried the file that obscure linked and I am still unable to get out of recovery. I basically get a bunch of red text every time I try to do something (like wipe data), and when I try to reboot it just reboots me into recovery once again. This is the same issue I was having earlier, so for the time being I have flashed an alternative kernel that at least has a recovery that is a little more functional. I still go back into recovery when I reboot though.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
What are your red errors?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Xpwnage123:
Ok I basically get a bunch of "Can't mounts" and "Can't opens". For instance, when I boot into recovery it says this:

-- Copying media files...

E:Failed to mount /dbdata (Invalid argument)

E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount /dbdata

I also tried the new stock rom that was linked, but it resulted in the exact same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
And I suppose that you have wiped data right?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Xpwnage123:
Yup, tried that. I get errors when trying to do that too.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Wait do you re-partition when you do this? (with the odin I posted, not goldflame's one).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
ya DO NOT REPARTITION WITH THE ONE I GAVE YOU.

that only includes the factoryfs.rfs and zimage and not all the other partitions like data
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Xpwnage123:
I definitely did NOT re-partition on any of them
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Go to the recovery thread and download the new odin one that zac put up and repartition using that one
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Xpwnage123:
IT'S ALIVVVEEEE!!!

Thank you guys so much.

Soft brick. Easy to fix browse the forum for tutorial if you cant find, pm me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lelinuxien52:
You have certainely check the case "Re-partition" in ODIN when you have try to flash the device. If the case "PIT" was empty, it only deletes the PIT file and you get soft-bricked.

To recover your phone, you must provide to your phone the PIT file (partition information file). You can easily find it on XDA:

It should have an option for this. I'm not sure, but try looking at CM settings.

Do you know something about s2e? is 4gb okay for Application's Data and Dalvik Cache?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] F4uzan:
Yeah, i know alot about S2E. Do not move Application's Data, moving them may likely cause lags or bootloops.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] iSeraphiel:
1.) Do I need to partition my sd before using s2e in New Experience?

2.) I partitioned it and didnt see it in internal memory... I cant see my 512 mb partition :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
If you want to see it, go for A2SD, but not on this ROM. As long as S2E is installed, you will get bootloop. Just open S2E, set move apps only, reboot. You will have more free space on internal, because your apps will be on the SD. A2SD however "merges" internal and sd partition, so you will see it like more 650mb internal storage.

I hope it's clean:rolleyes:

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] iSeraphiel:
Oh okay thank you :) I saw the partition size on s2e menu...

I have only few apps installed but im rebooting on about 2 minutes and 30 seconds.. there was this time(earlier), i had more apps installed.. and it boots for about 1 minute and 30 seconds... does s2e have to do something about it?

BTW I was using amarullz partition..but it boots soooo long.. for about 5 minutes(normal boot) >.<

Do you have any suggestions in partition scripts that have these?

1.) doesnt affect boot time

2.) doesnt affect phone speed

3.) doesnt hang when sd card is removed ..(it just go into default mode as if nothing is installed) like s2e?

im still using s2e..

Thanks for reply people :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
If you have S2E only, it should affect the first boot time after moving apps, but with slower SD card it's possible to have always longer times.

By the way, INSTRUCTIONS:

There's FIRST a flashable zip, but I'm not sure whether it'll work or not, download and flash it in recovery, I hope works; more convenient! But in case it didn't, then here's the font directly, download it and replace with the one existing here:

i just got that case top and bottom of the right side dont go flush like the rest, easy for the phone to pop out in the top and bottom corners for some reason. might be a bad one.
[One (M7) Accessories] unciviilized:
Hows this with finger prints? Could you also share the screen protector ur using please .. thanks..
[One (M7) Accessories] remusator:
The matte part shows no signs of finger prints. The shiny particles (equalizer) shows some after time, but it's still cleanable with microfiber cloth.

Definitely not fingerprint and oil magnet like Belkin Grip Sheer.

I also would like to mention, that this saved my One during New Year celebrations. Phone dropped from lap height (standing position) two times, and there's absolutely no sign of damage. Both phone and case are in pristine condition.
[One (M7) Accessories] remusator:
As Incipio refused to replace my faulty case (it started to squeak when pressing volume buttons) due to fact, that i purchased it via non-authorized reseller (ebay) => omg it was their original packaging properly closed, untouched when it arrived to me, but anyway.

I decided to make small modification to the case. UAG is well known for this, so i gave it a try. I cut one side (near back) with exacto knife of volume button cover, so it holds together only by the other and voila ! Squeaking stopped completely and buttons are extremly easy to press, very tactile and much better than on stock phone.

I attach picture of my modification to make it clear.

Also, there is video to show / prove squeaking caused by pressing buttons (before modification).

I love Pocket for linked articles or pictures. I have used Evernote and Klippt as well. I use Twitter extensively though and sometimes you just want to note something for later reading that someone has put up on there that has no link. Pocket and Klippt won't allow things without links so when you share it tells you it can't be done. Now I could use Evernote but ideally want things in the same place.

Any suggestions?

Hi There

Great device but for some reason after installing BT Tools and SPB GPRS Monitor the turn off after so many minutes fails to work.

The setting are correct and I've even used the same settings for both the BT Tools battery profiles but it doesn't work. The backlight goes off just like it should but the unit never powers down. As a result I'm unwittingly chewing through battery power unless I manually press the power button.

Has anyone ever experienced this? If so do you know why? Many thanks in advance.

Update: I have since removed BT Tools and the auto-power off is functioning properly again. Any and all advice will be appreciated.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] joele:
mmm maybe this is the same problem i am having?

I get messages SMS at 6am every morning (scheduled from work) most mornings when I pick my phone up, it is off and the message is there, some mornings even though when I went to bed the battery was full the phone is dead (backup battery and all) I presume the phone is waking up when the SMS comes in and not shutting down so the battery runs completely dead. Although the blue light on the top of the phone is falshing....

I also run BT Tools and will try uninstalling it and waiting a week or two to see if the problem goes away. It doesn't happen every day by the way it seems to happen maybe every 10 days or so......

OHHH BTW I don't have GPRS Monitor installed, just BT Tools!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cruisin-thru:
You dont put it on charge overnight?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] bigmac72:
I do, but I find that if I leave it on the entire day I only get 3.5 hours of use out of it and then it needs to re-charge. So it needs to turn off when idle.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] joele:
I do sometimes but not always especially if it is already 100% (or close to it), it is still an issue IMHO, having to leave the phone plugged in when fully charged isn't a perfect solution and generally I thought not the best for the battery in the long term!!!!

Besides the same thing could happen during the day, if you dont hear the SMS come in and the phone is in the case clipped to your belt and its switched on for an hour, when it need not be on at all!!!!

Don't get me wrong I love the functionality BT Tools provides, it is a fantastic program, I would just like to know how common this problem is? I will also try and contact the author and see if they know of this problem?

Hardest part is that it doesn't happen every time, only sometimes, just makes it harder for the author to track down the cause, from personal experience I hate tracking down these sorts of problems!!! :(
[General Questions and Answers] dwalsherz:
What's the best way to start android development (ROMs, kernels, etc)
[General Questions and Answers] SohamJ:
start from the basics

there are many guides out there to develop roms and kernels

kernel development needs knowledge of C

you can start with rom development but referring custom rom development threads , preferably for your device

first you can develop from base firmware like stock or cm7

add/ delete apps , ringtones , bootanimation , font etc

then you can learn how to decompile apk's so that you can edit Icons , add modifications like 15 toggles , Jelly Bean style notifications etc

once you are familiar with all this

you can approach to source development

Make sure your area is covered with the new T-Mo freq. If not, you cannt do any data connection. Happened to me once
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
you can't get 4g unless you have the htc one xl/x which as the lte module....the international is only able to get hspa/hspa+ or so
[HTC One X] jordy787:
Do you have tmobile on the one x ? i have a iphone 4s currently on tmobile and i think it uses the new frequency
[HTC One X] jordy787:
so if i got the international one x ill be good on the hspa+ ?
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Yea it won't show h+ but h and... It also depends on your area like said before because not all frequencys are used everywhere... So it might be better to go into a local store or so especially from t-mob and ask there...

[HTC One X] shahravi94:
if you are in an area with the newly refarmed 1900 mhz spectrum you will get hspa+ otherwise you will get edge. I am in philadelphia and i get decent coverage. I get hspa+ but the speeds are on the lower end. Not bad but not as fast as hspa+ can get. On a good day I get the following:
[HTC One X] jordy787:
will this work on the htc one x from at&t because isnt yours a international and doesnt international get hspa or hspa+?
[HTC One X] shahravi94:
I would ask that in the att one x forums. From what I understand the att one x runs on 1900 mhz as well so it should be the same. You probably won't get tmobile lte with the att one x. just hspa/hspa+

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arroyo:
Ace 2 is a great little phone, fast enough and not too big to look silly in your pocket. But ... it is my last Samsung phone and there are better options for the same money.

I do not know why it is so much underpowered (worst 4GB EMMC on market, light sensing ability not used, Touchwiz). I had ability to play some with Xperia Sola (NovaThor U8500, 512MB RAM) and it feels damn faster. At paper Ace 2 looks better due more ram and bigger screen. I agree that screen is better in Ace 2, but everything else is much worse.

And Samsung does and support Android as it should. I am not Samsung hater or something. They just focus on releasing 2-3 devices each month and they do not care about those that were released couple months ago.

My opinion: go for Nexus, Xperia or LG. Do not buy Motorola, HTC and Samsung. But that's just me.
