[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] NapalmDawn:
Xen-it seems GPlayer development is still fairly newish. the work you see from devs now are all ground work. For the 4.2 and 3.6, they seem a little less dev populated than the 4 and 5. People will build upon the work of early devs and eventually get kernels that can OC and maybe ICS and JB roms. At this stage, we likely won't see anything like ZOMG earth shattering until people spend time with the devices. Seems Serk is on his way to doing the best he can for 4.2 but I am not sure who is tackling 3.6

It's weird how roms for devices go. I learned this when I had a tbolt and shockingly saw a FUNCTIONAL JB rom for my old Eris while the tbolt was still hanging back in ginger land with not even a really good ICS rom let alone JB. I asked the Tbolt community-why? How is it the dinosaur Eris has JB and not us? It all depends on what the devs can do with the sources provided. Sometimes certain hardware points are sticky. you can have beautiful JB rom for a device that can't talk to the camera if the hardware source isn't made available (reference the HP TP for many years)

For now, flash what you're comfortable with and and learn what you do and don't like. Also learn if you want to play things safe and not experiment or take on potentially beta builds. For the tbolt, tackling an ICS rom was too dicey so I never did. On my new Rezound, I eat up JB roms as they are in much better shape :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] NapalmDawn:
Okay I'll tackle that when I get home. that's a VERY needed to know caveat about the roms. You likely saved me the time of reflashing that vanilla rooted stock and then trying to download ChaOS all over again and flash it. I'll try it ASAP when I'm home and report my progress.

Is it normal for our CWM to not see external SD cards? My card was used in a lenovo thinkpad k1 so it was definitely not a janky card.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Xenphor:
I don't mind messing with the roms; in fact, that's the only reason why I got this in the first place because it was cheap and I needed to learn about android. If I really wanted something good I would've gotten an ipod touch or something.

My problem still is with the seemingly haphazard nature in which all of these kernels, roms, firmware, boot images, and whatever else are made. When you first go into a forum for a device, all you see is a large listing of roms, kernels or kernels with roms or anything in between. There may be a FAQ grouping all of these together, but go to a specific thread and most likely the instructions will just be "flash such and such zip file". Obviously the process seems easy enough now, as long as it doesn't change up for other devices, but it would be nice to know what works with what before you flash it.

The method I've seen so far that looks the best is the fastboot program. I'm not sure why all devices don't use it but most tutorials I've read that incorporate fastboot are fairly detailed and straight forward. Usually you can use it to unlock the bootloader or something and then easily just flash whatever you want it seems. Why don't all devices support fastboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] NapalmDawn:
Well for the Gplayers, I agree that the forums can be confusing. Most forums here, it's just dedicated to the one device. Occasionally you'll get 2-3 piggybacking on the same forum. Example-HTC Flyer and Evo view sharing some forums, Galaxy Tab 2 sharing some in between the 10 and 7 inch. The Gtab forum being shared with Zpad. It just takes some time to get used to how that forum is setup for that device. Each device is almost its own island here. Some communities are very tight and they expect you to know everything, others like this one have very nice people like Meta and Serk who try to help. Some devices are super hard to root (HTC Flyer), some are stupid easy (Nexus 7). Also some companies are friendly to development and some actively try to keep them out. Supposedly Samsung was GOING to be nice but then 180d with the G4 and started getting all tightly locked and even trying to stop bootloader unlocks.

My confusion here was the fact that the 4.2 player shares the "4.2" with Jellybean and my model is GI1 but there is also one called the G1. Now I see there's the US version slightly different from a Euro one. Usually a device works with 3 different types of posts. Kernels, ROMs and recoveries. In the case of the GP 4.2, one kernel actually came with a recovery which was new to me.

Most devices do actually work with a fastboot mode. It somewhat varies as to what button presses get you into it but most have it to some degree. Some have nvflash as a way to slap a ROM on there. You just have to haunt that device's forum for a bit and get a feel for how things go. There's also other sites like rootzw and androidc that provide some additional flair. Be happy you're not dealing with a Rez where there's S-on, S-Off and a physical wire trick that gets you S-off :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Xenphor:
Ok but what happens after you have flashed many files on top of each other? Won't there be files left behind after flashing multiple zips?

For example, you flash a stock rom and then you flash multiple zips (themes, etc) for that stock rom. Later, you decide to flash a different rom. Well, what happens to all the other things you flashed along with it? Will they just remain in the file system somewhere? I can see it getting very messy.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] NapalmDawn:
if the rom or new theme replaces those files (and it commonly does), they will get blown away. For those that don't, you'd need to do a wipe to clear it.

Most devs give instructions on "dirty" installs and "clean" installs. Aka dirty flash and clean flash. You'll see things like

Instructions for installing this rom

If coming from stock JB-place zip file on SD card, boot to CWM, wipe system/wipe cache/wipe data (aka clean flash)

Flash rom and reboot

If coming from another JB rom-same as above

If coming from an earlier version of this rom-you can dirty flash. Place the rom on the SD card, boot to CWM and flash away.

Usually the dev will tell you what you need to do to flash the rom properly. It's not uncommon to see a dislike of dirty flashing or even heavy app+data restores via TiBu. Most will push for the wipes which ensures you don't get that "messy" leavings you spoke of :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] NapalmDawn:
Hi again Meta. I did all the wipes against the device using the broken ChaOS. I didn't have to go back down via Odin. I turned on USB mount, copied the proper US based zip file to the device, unmounted USB, flashed and rebooted. After letting it cook a bit, it's now up and running through setup and I'm back at the home screen. Settigns has kernel 2.6.35.7 and a build of ChaOSEnhanced. So I guess we're set for the rom now :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] MetaMav:
That's good to hear! Be sure to let me know if the ChaOS ROM installs successfully. I'll make sure to post on the ROM's thread about making sure everything is wiped and installing the ChaOS Enhanced build first. Also, CWM does not recognize SGP 4.2's SD card as "the SD card"; it considers internal memory as the SD card. And as far as that goes the device itself does the same thing only recognizing the inserted SD as the "external SD" and the internal memory as the SD card. It is a bit disconcerting but I've made an install-able "fix" so that Android swaps the internal memory and the SD card. This does not fix the CWM situation unfortunately. The link to the "SD Swap Mod" is in my signature below. Happy I could help! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] NapalmDawn:
So you think I could hop from ChaOS Enhanced over to ChaOS? I stopped at enhanced.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] MetaMav:
Yes, I think you can hop right over to ChaOS from ChaOS Enhanced. You may want to make a backup via CWM before doing so just in case.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] NapalmDawn:
Ohhhhhhh boy would I EVER make a back up of this one LOL. Would there be a reason for me to push onto ChaOS as compared to C-Enh? My C-Enh does seem to be doing well atm
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] MetaMav:
There isn't really any added performance. The ROM is mainly just added aesthetics and some neat shortcuts like scrolling quick-toggles and a couple pre-installed apps like system monitor and CPU-control (no overclocking though...yet). You can install an S3 theme as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] NapalmDawn:
Okay I think I might hold my luck here just in case. What do you think the chances are of us getting something beyond GB on the 4.2s? I'm surprised that the device is actually pretty peppy even with an LWP running. I have it running this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEsImNvbS5zbW9vdGhkcm9pZC5yYWNpbmdmcmVlIl0. since I'm going to us this GP in my car full time as a GPS/media player so I don't have to keep having my phone do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] MetaMav:
The chances of us getting past gingerbread is based entirely on dev support. I think it could very well happen if the right people decide to help. Although I am not sure if the people that could get us past gingerbread have galaxy player 4.2's right now. Maybe in the future. *fingers crossed*

I had a friend help me with my CyanogenMod 10 install and everything was working fine. Now knowing how to get the boot.img and .zip installed, I thought I would try a few other ROMs as I see there is already a 4.2.2 (I had installed 4.1.2).

I did a wipe of data, cache, d.cache, system

I flashed new boot.img of CM 10.1 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2343586)

I went into recovery to install the .zip and I got "E:Can't open /sdcard/cm-xxxxxx.zip (bad)"

I thought, okay **** it I'll just go back to 4.1.2 and it installs perfectly fine - gets me back into the phone. I even tried a different ROM from SlimBean or whatever and I get the same "(bad)"

What gives?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bfawks:
Seems like my SD card needed to be swapped out -- not sure why but works fine on a different card. I'll try formatting the other one..

Lol hahaha that's not fear how many times i asked if someone can port docomo statusbar or the camera from XS (Like xperia sp/z style) what you all use here to XP? No one cant do that or no one respond and so i can think what do the XS user also in XP forum? That's a question with a short answer and the answer is: XS, XP & XU are family members (in phone range then) [NXT Series] so we have permissions to come here also.

Well the part that we(as in you and i) dont own eachothers phone's (XS and XP) is fair, and you have a fair argument but your mod is easyer to port than the camera mod,can you agree with that? And yess i am busted with requesting in other forums for ports but where its asked if i can share smth i can share i do it without a blink of an eye :). No harm done, not from my side :)

Lets stay on track, what files do you need so we cand have the white version of settings? i see you made 2 versions, one completly white (thats how i see it) and the other has the fiber white backgroud. I like the fiber one...

Yes that's indeed fair [MENTION=4898987]beniamin24[/MENTION] yes its indeed easy to port so agreed with that :)

And ok thats right we (you and i) and other may come in all the forums and ask because XDA is to share knowledge etc;)

Indeed i understand your point also and i dont harm either, and dont start a fight without one:) (that is always what i think)
