Yes, 1 hour is too long. If you are in a boot loop, first you need to get the device to shut off. Like this:

Then you can use the normal buttons to get to recovery. :good:

Unroot/reroot?

I'm still loving this ROM which gave new life to our old Galaxy Player. Haven't tried 5.1 yet. Question: is there a way to unroot/reroot this? Encryption fails on it, and based on my experience on other devices (most recently with AOSP 6.0 on Galaxy Tab S) I'm figuring this is because it is rooted and has SuperSu on it. On the Galaxy Tab S where SuperSu is installed using a separate zip in TWRP I can unroot in the SuperSu app and then encrypt successfully in regular Settings and then reinstall the SuperSu zip in TWRP. Here where SuperSu is built into the ROM if I unroot in Settings and unroot in SuperSu I seem to root but still can't encrypt and there is no way back to root unless I reflash the ROM. Am I missing something? Is there a "correct" way to unroot and try again, and if so how would I reroot without reinstalling the whole ZIP - is there a stand alone zip version of the compatible Supersu installer? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Encryption will not work because we are using lvm for the /data partition. There is nothing you can do to make it work . [emoji6]
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Kevinc25:
Ah. That explains it. Good to know, thanks very much. In that case I'll reflash so I'll try your 5.1 this time.

YP-G70: USB stick mount?

hi,

Today, I install 4.4.4 "Meticulus" Rom on my "old" YP-G70 (europe version with hardware buttom). It seems to work fine.

I want to connect an Usb stick (with an adaptator), but it is not mount. I see there an "mount USB storage " in parameters storage option but it is disabled (greyed)

Is there any mean to mount an usb stick?

(and thanks to Meticulus for this great job: My YP-G70 will have a new life :o)

I don't know if I need this wifi driver. After Changing from Beanstalk ROM to Carbon ROM my weak wifi performance are fixed. My son SGP running Beanstalk only detect 3 out of 6 wifi arround my house, But my SGP running Carbon rom can detect all 6 wifi and my neighbor wifi.

On carbon rom my SGP wifi upload and download rate are almost double the speed than my son SGP. I do understand diffrent devices react diffrently, e.g; my son can play Frontline Commando on his SGP, but my SGP wont even load the game. So this just my point of view based on experience. ;)

Android L is the latest version of Android 5.0.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
In Loockscreen I have the following tabs:

Active Display, Buttons, General, Notifications, Targets

I can't find the option you are talking about under any of them (although I remember it from other ROMS I have used).

The Clock widget options are under General and they are all activated (clock and alarm, Weather Panel and Calendar events) but they are not showing up (there is a clock but none of the clock settings affect it).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] beeewell:
I have the same Lockscreen tabs as you. Do you see a 3x2 widget called cLock? The clock settings you mentioned do affect that widget for me
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
Yes, it works for the CLock widget on the Launcher screens, but on other ROMS I have used it also appears on the Lock Screen - which is why it is under 'lock screen' options in the carbon fibres menu. On mine it doesn't display on the lock screen does it on yours?.

Is anyone else having some Wi-Fi problems? It seems that my player is sending data but not receiving data after 2 minutes of being connected to Wi-Fi.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TrojanDad:
Yes, I'm having trouble maintaining the WiFi connection as well. I'm using the latest build.

Does anyone have a problem with their SGP not turning on after you turn it off and not turn it on for 15 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] bassbrick15:
If anyone wants to just use on screen buttons and turn off the capacitive buttons follow the following: 1: Go to Settings, Carbon Fibers, Buttons, and then turn off the backlight to the buttons. 2: Go to a root explorer of your choice and go to System, Usr, key_layout. Open Generic.kl and put a # in front of the following keys;

Key 172, Key 158, Key 139

These keys are the home, back, and menu buttons. Reboot your Player and you should be only running with on screen buttons.

To revert all you need to do is remove the # symbol. I personally recommend that if you go this route enable transparency for the nav bar and status bar. It looks loads better!!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
How do you enable transparency? I haven't found that setting yet - I'd like to give it a go...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] bassbrick15:
It is located in the performance menu in settings. It sure makes everything look better!

After a couple of weeks on this ROM my only complaint is that deep sleep doesn't work. Thus leading to short battery life, it dropped over 50% over the course of the day while mostly being on standby (9hrs). This has been consistent over the 2 weeks I've used the ROM.

Just switched from CM 11 to Carbon it's a great ROM so far it's just battery life and the camera I have problems with.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] troy5890:
I switched back to cm11 because of battery life and the screen not coming back on after I put it to sleep
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mv-clear:
Yes Battery life is a issue, I think it's due to the wakelocks caused by google play services/google plus stuff which appears to be a problem on alot of roms based on cm11. In some other threads I read its been fixed, however it requires some patch.. I think it's already fixed in carbon for the YP-G1 so i'm hoping they will fix it in the next release of carbon. Other than the battery life this rom is great on my device and haven't seen any sleep issues.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TrojanDad:
My only problem with wifi is this:

At my home I have a router at one end and then a hard wired second router at the other end to act as a range extender. My SGP5 (and SGP4) connects to the range extender, but if I move to the opposite end of my home, it does not switch from the range extender to the router. It is only when the range extender signal drops off, will it connect to the router on its own. And vice versa.

It would be nice if the SGP was smart enough to switch to the stronger signal without losing the original signal first.

Welcome back from your sick bed!!

Does this new build include the latest CM11 code as well as the latest Carbon? (just so I know what to expect from the battery)

Also, what's happened to the crt animation (locking the screen now just fades out - no option in 'interface')?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Thanks, feelin' better but still taken it slow...

Not sure about CM11. The Carbon Team probably has their own way of doing things. I really don't know how they integrate CM11 code into Carbon so I have no way of knowing "how much" CM11 code is in there or if it's up to date.... :good:

If you are really interested, you could ask them via ( insert most social media links here ).

Also, just noticed the missing "crt animations". Must have been a change that the Carbon Team made.

I'll keep an eye out for a way to bring it back... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] blacklightning:
The problem are in your router/range extender setting, I used to have the same problem with my Tp-Link router. After upgrading TP-link stock rom to DD-WRT rom the problem goes away. SGP swtich from Range extender to router and vice versa (which one have stronger signal) automaticaly.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Hmm... That's strange. 1600mhz is stable for me, except for gaming when I have to bump down to about 1400mhz... What happens when you try to overclock?

I'm not sure. It seems like some people are having trouble with WiFi and some are not... WiFi is better for me with the recent addition of the CM Crespo driver. That's really the only change I've made, concerning WiFi recently. What is your experience , "WiFi wise" on 4.4.2 ROMs?

EDIT: Bluetooth Tethering enabled ( and working? ) on Latest build...:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
Ah, I see. I thought you had to merge CM11 and Carbon yourself.. I see how it works now, thanks.

Have you noticed that the Lockscreen widgets don't work? Just try changing the Clock widget settings in Carbon Fibres->Lockscreen->General->Clock Widget... No effect! (this was the same in the previous carbon build).

Oh and my WIFI seems fine so far on an int player (as it was on the previous build)!

It was working on the last pre-LVM CM11 build, but not anymore on their latest release, nor in yours, nor in PAC latest build. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
I did notice that. I suspect that it has something to do with our device being a "Low Ram" device. I seem to remember an override that would allow "Low Ram" devices to have lockscreen widgets but it probably got lost in the mix...

I'll put it on the list ....:good:

If I try OC to 1600MHz, I start experiencing lag 5 - 8 minutes after OC, then screen freeze followed by auto reboot;

then I tried OC to 1400, SGP stable 10 - 15 minutes, after that it auto reboot again;

else I tried every possible max and min speed combination. The result are the same;

end if

With default 1000MHz / 100MHz, I cant even play Candy crush saga. :crying:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
I have also had problems with 1440hz in Carbon. It was ok in Beanstalk (that ran happily at 1600hz) but now I cannot OC to 1440 at any voltage without restarts and loads of FCs. So I've settled for 1400 max. But occasionally I get the restarts there too. It could well be 1200hz, but I haven't tested this out...but now I'm going to!!

Edit... Yep...after about 1 minute running at 1200 I get a Launcher FC...Actually it is a complete freeze, so that's fairly convincing....

OC is working just as it always has for me.... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] bassbrick15:
If I'm over clocking I set the minimum speed and maximum speed to the same clock speed to prevent lagging out. That, while running antutu is how I test my voltages.

it appears though that he doesn't have the same problem which basically means that I'm going to be stuck on <=1100hz for the foreseeable future, aggghhhh....

[MENTION=4400604]Meticulus[/MENTION] if you set min=max=1200 and play about for 10 minutes or so do you still see no problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
I'm testing that now. In the mean time, try disabling anything to do with "OK Google" and hotword detection. I suspect that there may be an issue with it....

Nova launcher has a setting you can enable or disable and of course don't use the "Google Now" launcher...

Just as a test...:p

EDIT: Ran 1200mhz min & max for 30 mins... no issues...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] bassbrick15:

oh dear... things aren't looking good for us then... i already have ok google disabled and am not using google now... any other suggestions? I'm going to try ramping up the voltage on 1200 to see what happens...

[MENTION=5342687]bassbrick15[/MENTION] I'm afraid I'm already using apex so that probably won't help with your oc issues!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Well, Best thing to do is post some logs. Logs might be difficult to get due to the nature of the problem. What I would do is run a constant log dump and then make it crash...

Logcat, kmsg and last_kmsg would be very helpful...

If you don't know how... use the googley... :)

I think it's only fair to mention that I was indeed, having freezing, crash reboots and lag before I did a clean install yesterday which resolved the issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mmmm-):
Thanks Meticulus, I seem to be having some luck with the voltage thing.... it could well be that it was the1200 that was holding me back all along! even1440 appears to be behaving itself now that I've added 10mV to1200!

I should have tried that straight off eh? Because of 1440 not working at any voltage i just assumed it wouldn't work at 1200 either. Stupid of me!

Hopefully it'll last... :mad:
