Alright, so I finally, finally (and after a big problem) got onto JB with this ROM, and I have to say, great work. Now, a couple of questions, because now I'm having a different problem. Basically, the problem is that I have another android device - a galaxy mini 2. So, I updated to CM, but instead of google sync loading all of the settings for the galaxy player, it loads the stuff from the galaxy mini. I wouldn't be bothered by it so much, except that just before, I lost a good chunk of my data from a bug in the TerraSilent kernel (I made a thread in general about it), so I want to recover as much as possible from my google account (even though that might not be much). I've done some digging, and this is what I've found:

1. In adb, the serial number of the device no longer comes up as "g1xx85bd35e30" but as something like ABCDEFGHIJKL01234.

2. When I type "bmgr list sets" in the terminal emulator, there are three devices, my galaxy mini 2, a "YP-G1", and a ypg1, both with different unique ID numbers.

Shouldn't the serial number and this unique ID be the same no matter what build? And - would anyone know where they are stored on this device?

Built in root also works fine for me.

Can you increase volume steps from 15 to 30?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
To me it seems that 4.3 has a lot more volume steps than 4.2. I think there is no reason for it. Maybe if someone wants taste to make a mod for that they will
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
Finally decided to download (downloading as typing) the latest build (8/21) will flash later tonight when I get home, I had been holding off as I was doing my battery "drain down" test (where I just it turn on, screen off and not use it except to check battery stats once or twice a day test) on the first 10.2 build, will add the screen shot on that later (FYI its even better then the 26 days on CM 10.1).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
When you guys say messaging is force closing, do you mean the Talk app? If not, then what app do you mean by "messaging"?

Also, why is it that people want the phone.apk? I mean isn't that pretty much a useless app on our device (since it's not a phone)?

I'm thinking I might go ahead and move on over to the CM10 builds now. The current bugs aren't that bad (camera is the worst, and if the Talk app is force closing, that's a really bad thing for me) and I'm liking all the features being added by the roms and custom kernels. Just wanna make sure nothing is too bad.

Also, just really quick, might I ask how I would check to ensure that my EFS is intact? Just going ahead and asking so that you don't have to answer later. I mean I've never touched my EFS (other than backing it up), so I assume it will stay intact through the flashing process.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DeeJay1:
The 10.2 builds are fine. The messaging app forceclosing is irrelevant because all you have to do is disable it. And Talk/hangouts works fine. Your efs should be good if you're coming from a stock or 4.0 and up build (because you need a good efs in the first place to flash those roms).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] NightHawk877:
Does the home button work? Had problems with it the last time I ran CM10 on my SGP. I have the US version.

Sent from my SGH-I747
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DeeJay1:
It works. If yours still doesn't, check the buyer_code.dat in ur efs folder and make sure it's XAA
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
I have set up a system with the phone.apk and some online services to make and receive calls via my Google voice number, essentially making it a phone whenever I'm in Wi-Fi. So it's not entirely useless.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
I tried that too, but didn't like it. Wish we can mod it to send calls through Google Voice instead of using a SIP Account + GV lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
Where are the Pie controls, I can't figure out how to turn them on.

Got the newest version flashed and I've got several odd bugs:

1. Home button doesn't take me to the homescreen when I'm in anything, app drawer, apps or settings menu it vibrates recognizing the touch but does nothing.

2. the advanced power menu is messed up, it will only show power off, reboot (no recovery reboot option) and screenshot even tho ALL options are checked to show.

3. the pull down on the far right doesn't produce the tiles like its supposed to just the notification panel and I can't even switch over to the tiles.

4. I can't for the life of me find the PIE controls settings to enable it.

5. my lockscreen has now disappeared.

Maybe I got a bad download or something, I've done full wipes and flashes but still having issues. will try redownloading later, I'm gonna restore back to bone stock and come back from there and see if these issues persist, will report tomorrow night around this time.

On a side note as promised here is the screenshot from the "drain test" of the first build I mentioned earlier.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
Okay, so the talk app is working. Good. I don't care about the phone. apk not working, so I'm fine with that.

How would I go about getting back to GB if I find JB to be far too buggy for me? If I have all the same bugs that Daniel is having (home button not wprking), then I probably won't be able to tolerate that. I need to know how to come back to my nice stable spot again.

So ALL i need to do to keep my EFS safe is enter that command in the OP in terminal? I don't actually have to go down into the root EFS folder and copy it and its contents? Really don't wanna screw up my EFS when I flash, and I want to have it backed up. Also, I heard that if you go from GB to JB, you'll screw up the EFS, and that you must go from GB to ICS to JB in order to keep your EFS intact. Is this true?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
Follow it the Terminal way, making a copy of the efs folder manually will NOT give you what you NEED when you go to flash back to stock GB using Heimdall, find the thread by Zaclimon on restoring to stock and just add the efs.rfs (that you created using the command in terminal) to that, remember to copy the efs.rfs file created using the command to your computer before doing anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Wow this is the first time I hear about that one lool. Get in mind that at that time, the upstream code wasn't really all that good and It's been 2 weeks since I released the last version so I may end up getting a newer build in the weekend for ya people. This way the issues described by you and whib will maybe get ironed out.

Also the efs backup command only applies if the user was on stock. (basically due to the partition being rfs)

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
All right, thanks man. So then what I need to know is this: Is that ALL I need to do to backup my efs? Are there anymore additional steps? I ask because I've heard so many things about efs issues, and I'm honestly wondering if it's really that simple to avoid all those issues.

I think I'll wait for Zac to release the new build before I flash, just to avoid any extra troubles.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
I found pie controls in the interface settings.

I did install this ROM with soft keys enabled and DPI set to 90.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
it really is as simple as opening Terminal

Typing su (to gain superuser access and approve it with whatever SU app you use)

then type the command making sure to do it right (i had trouble telling if it was a 1 or an l before the 3)

once done exit out of Terminal and connect to a computer and copy the efs.rfs off the root of the player to your computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
OK, reporting back in after restoring to stock and reflashing all previously reported issues are gone.

still not seeing it, this is all I see in the interface tab.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
I modified the build.prop in the ROM zip. I enabled soft buttons and lowered the DPI to 90. Then I flashed the ROM. That is how I got pie controls.

If you just enable soft buttons in the ROM zip then flash you should have pie controls.

You can also just modify the installed build.prop and reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
All right. Well I'm on CM10.2. I've got 2 questions though, and one is sort of a bug.

1. I've tried flashing both superuser zips, as well as saying yes to CWM rooting for me. Nothing. No superuser app at all. What am I to do? I looked at some of the earlier posts on this thread, and it seems most people just got it to work for them.

2. Can anyone direct me to the .apk files for the Google Talk app that had voice and video (not hangouts) and the music app from Gingerbread? I'd honestly like them both over here on JB. Since they weren't installed as system apps, I think I can just install them manually with no problem.

I can't say I've done much since I'm relying on my backups from titanium backup, and I need root for that. Other than that though, everything seems to be working.

Not sure if this is a bug, but when I hold the volume up button to get into the recovery, the device reboots like 3 times before actually going into the recovery. This happens ONLY when i try to get into the recovery. When I normally boot up (holding down no volume buttons), this does NOT happen, so it does not bother me anyways.

CANNOT WAIT until the impulse kernel is brought over to CM10.2 :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
1. I guess you can still try the supersu v1.60 zip, it should work *in theory*

2. You can find the talk apk pretty easily on the forums, just search XD. Only thing is the music app won't mostly be available to use for obvious reasons. I think in your case, you could search for sgs3 or sgs4 music apps.

And the thing with recovery (3 reboots) is meant to happening so yeah...

Also I should get another build ready later today, there's no real change again except that it's smoother than the current build. I know I said that I will get impulse ready, I'm really lacking some time to build it but I'll try something soon. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
OK, first off Superuser is "baked" into the settings menu on these ROMs, it is NOT with the other apps, on the current build root should work right of of the box (it did for me) but if your still having issues do this:

http://youtu.be/BiT7RKBlHvk

then once you have developer options turned on scroll down to Root Access and change it from "Apps" to "Apps and ADB" and your done.

That said after trying all the options you may need to "start fresh" and wipe and reinstall the whole ROM.

why would you bother with crappy stock music app, get Poweramp and be HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY (in the words of Si Robertson).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Hey sorry for being late but here's a new build available (09/08) in the OP. There's no big changes in the changelog. (added a toggle to wake the device from the home button, will surely more benifit from Intl users). It's more like under the hood refinements and more buttery smoothness. :)

Enjoy!!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
Do I need to wipe /system and /data and cache before flashing the new version?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
No its not mandatory, but wipe cache is recommended. If you have big lag or errors, it would be better to wipe those 3.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] XAP4O:
Do you know when the Quick access ribbon will be available?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
This is why I said there was no big of a changelog loool. :p

Hmm they should already be available with the 08/09 build.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ti-pich:
Wow, this new build is amazing. I can almost say my player is as fast as my Gnex. Using it with apex launcher and everything is super smooth. Doens't seems to be any lag. Also, the new ribbon are there, go into interface->notification bar and then enable it. I've also found that on cm 10.2 they added a setting for the volume rocker wich is pretty nice for pmp, it link the volume rocker to the media volume instead of the ringer. It's under sound->volume. Keep up the great work.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
Hurray! The new build successfully flashed and root is working now :) Very happy. Thanks a bunch Zac! I did not do much on the previous build, but I can say that this new one does seem to be running smoother. Feel free to keep making smoother builds lol :D So I'll just throw in my 2 cents and say that I think the top priority should be porting Impulse to CM10.2 (mostly because I'm a battery lover, and on impulse you undervolted the LCD which surely will save a LOT of battery), and then look into fixing that camera issue. The speaker issue isn't too bothersome, but I'd like it to be fixed one day. Obviously, it is implied that you should take your time and put school before any of this.

I'm a little angry though that the Jellybean clock app has less features than the Gingerbread version. I can't pick a song to wake up to like I could on Gingerbread. Seriously, what's the deal with that? That's just purely stupid and makes me very angry. Can I revert back to the Gingerbread version of Clock? If so, please let me know how.

Thanks again Zac! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
I don't think you can revert to the gingerbread clock, but there are multiple third party alternatives on the play store. Additionally, there are ways to get custom alarm tones with the stock clock. One is putting them in the /sdcard/Alarms/ folder. I find this takes a few reboots for them to show up and is rather inconsistent. A more reliable way is to put them in the /system/media/audio/alarms/ although this will use up your limited system space.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ti-pich:
I don't think that you can revert to the gingerbread clock, as it was almost certainly a samsung apps, but I'm sure you can find some pretty good clock apps on the play store doing way much.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] XAP4O:
Found. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ramirrat:
bad

GTA: Vice City won't run on this firmware:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
Agh, that's too bad. I actually got the app installed (I had a backup from gingerbread) but it crashes on launch :( I just find it extremely pathetic that they actually removed a nice feature in an update. Whatever though. Tolerable. However, I'd like some help with another app pickle I'm in. I tried to install the samsung task manager (job manager. apk) so I pushed the apk to the system apps folder. Well, like the clock app, it also crashes on launch. Also, I did the same with Talk. I pushed the apk to the system apps and also put its lib file in proper place, but it also crashes on launch...Surely at least Talk will work somehow, right? I have no idea why it isn't. It's talk 1.3 (with audio and video chat). Please help me if you can guys. Definitely want my task manager and talk.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
What you've got to remember is this is NOT an OFFICIAL SAMSUNG UPDATE, so you have to expect to only get the freeware (known as AOSP) equivalent apps also as of android 4.3 (which is what this is) the old Talk is no longer supported as google (for better or worse) replaced it with Hangouts. You can't blame the developers as they have to obey copyright laws and are there fore not allowed to include samsung apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
I do understand that. I thought though, however, that I could install some of the official samsung apps (such as task manager) through manually downloading and executing the APK. Apparently not though. I've tried everything with Talk. I put everything in the proper place and properly set the permissions and reboot. Still crashes on launch :\ A real shame. I really liked my Talk with voice and video. I CAN get a version of Talk to still work, but it's some newer version. I really liked the older version (1.3), but this other one will work I suppose.

Now, does anyone know of a good task manager alternative? Not being able to launch task manager isn't too bad. Surely there's a good alternative for that.

I would like to say some positive stuff here now. I'm finding that games are starting up WAY faster than they used to on GB, and they seem to all be running VERY smoothly :) Very happy about that. If only I could have the smoothness and interface with my good ol' gingerbread apps XD
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
There should be still some old versions of talk laying around in the forums. As for the task manager, you can find some in the play store, mostly the one from airdroid I don't remember its name) however their use is discouraged. The android system matured enough to exit the process it doesn't need anymore.

New build up in the OP (14/09), this one comes with a little fix which you may like. It is the right speaker which was sounding quiet. :P. There's nothing else really except under the hood refinements and CM account support.

Enjoy!!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
Messaging still force closes. Bottom speaker still sounds quieter to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Bottom speaker always sounded quieter than the upper one, but now it's mostly restored to what it was in stock. (at least in my experience) it may vary from people to people.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
On stock and other 2.6 kernel ROMs, the bottom speaker sounds just as loud as the top one and we had full stereo sound which we do not have anymore with the rear speakers.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Choucas06:
dorfd1, you can just flash the stock kernel and then you will be the happiest guy on earth.

Regarding the messaging force close, you have the solution in the previous pages (flash only the core gapps) and please stop boring us with the same post at each release.

[MENTION=4217103]zaclimon[/MENTION], thanks again for your work, the last release runs very smoothly and I have no new issue since now ?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
You are mostly right but

Messaging is not part of gapps. It is part if the system in the rom. Just go to all details and disable it
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
If that's really the case then I'm sorry to not *fix* completely the speakers as you would like to. I've compared with stock and I found that the sound was similar. Now as I said, it depends from people to people.

Also if the messaging app is so boring, well just freeze it with TB or uninstall it will make the job.

Is it normal to get so many sdcard option in recovery? I know it wasn't like this before but I just noticed it while flashing the new build, so this have probably changed from the build before it.

Edit: Just noticed sdcard1 and external sd are the same... Don't really know why it show it both way.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Cm changed some good stuff. They are all named different and I have that as well
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
It got fixed with the 09/14 build. It's mostly because we repeat the destination of the sdcard 2 times.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
This happend to me too.

But now recovery shows my sdcards as /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/sdcard1. Instead of internal SD card and external SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
According to 3 DIFFERENT "SPL meter" apps I tried on my phone (using the method of laying one speaker of the player on the phones microphone while covering the other speaker with my finger) both speakers are putting out the same DB level within 1-2 db at most if not exactly the same, so for those saying they aren't getting the speakers balanced and still having the poor sound level I have to ask did you wipe EVERYTHING. I did a "wipe data/factory reset" a "wipe cache" a "wipe dalvick cache" and I did a "format /system" (and a "Mount /system" after format) and I would say the rear speakers are solid, also I flashed right to the Impulse R3 as soon as I flashed the new build. As for Messaging FC it is a known issue so there is no need to continue to mention it still happening just Disable it and go on with your day.

---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------

the whole sdcard1 sdcard0 stuff is totally normal, it's the new names that where actually started being implemented in android 4.1, nothing to worry about.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Thanks for testing that one out, I definitely think the sound was the same as before but I could be wrong too. (didn't knew that there were DB testing apps) Seems like your test definitely confirm it for once and for all! :p

EDIT: I made some errors while fixing some things up with the zip in the OP. If you're installing from stock, please use this zip instead:

Hey Zaclimon, I know I'm supposed to be testing impulse, but I'm having troubles with this before I even had a chance to flash impulse :P

Whenever I try to install or update an app from the play store it just stops at some point and the notification disappears It still shows up as installing in the play store, but doesn't download any more. I wiped data and formatted system before flashing, and I used the gapps linked in the second post. Anyone else experience this?

Update: turned out to be Google+ was keeping the Package Installer from running, so removing the GooglePlus.apk from system fixed it if anyone else is having trouble.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
Uninstalled voodoo sound and rebooted fixed my rear speakers.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
To anyone who still thinks the bottom speaker is quieter than it was on gingerbread; I happen to have two galaxy players, one of which with a shattered screen and doesn't charge properly that I keep on gingerbread. Using a DB meter and the same music app on both devices, I can tell you that there is no noticeable difference in volume, and in fact JB has a deeper, less tin can-like sound than gingerbread. If it's still quieter for you, do what dorfd1 did.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dorfd1:
If you enable tune speaker for music in DSP manager, the bottom speaker becomes quieter again.

Well I took the time to fix the capacitive home issue on my SGP. It's smooth sailing from there now. All I use my SGP for is music and the occasional movie. All I have installed are PowerAmp and Mobo Video player. I've been wanting a decent AOSP ROM for my SGP and am happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WHib96:
I seem to be getting a strange bug. When i charge my player and it gets to 100%, it doesn't notify me that it's fully charged. It just kinda sits there. Then, while it is still plugged in, my battery begins to drain.

Last night I tried to charge my player over night and woke up 20 minutes past my set alarm time to find that my player (which I use as my alarm) was off, even though it was plugged in. I had to take the battery out and put it back in before I could turn it back on to find that it had only charged to about 70%. I don't know for sure, but it may have charged up to 100% and then dropped to 70% and then somehow shut itself off. All these charging bugs only seem to start when it hits 100%. Not sure if I'm the only one with these issues or not.
