rj's custom kernel for Galaxy Player 5 international
aka rumirand
Hi there.
Finally got my YP-G70 back to life, so I'm working on get a better kernel and take advantage of this device. This kernel is based on stock G70XXKPF firmware, but some users report it works on other firmwares.
If you have a G70 US (capacitive home button), use Entropy512's kernel. If you have a 4.0, use Steves kernel.
Features
*Useful for recovery/unbrick purposes. My device got bricked and got the partition table faulty. With this, you can rebuild your partition table using fdisk.

Kernel r14 (Odin) - Kernel r14 (CWM)
Kernel r13 (Odin) - Kernel r13 (CWM)

Kernel r7 - CWM beta
Kernel r6 - CWM beta
Kernel r5
Kernel r4
Kernel r3
Kernel r2 <- first working kernel.
Initial upload (r1) <- doesn't boot. So don't bother to flash it.

Enable ghetto lagfix:
If you want to go back to rfs, revert the steps.

Big thanks to Entropy512 for working in a CWM port for our devices and his kernel. This work is based on his job.
Source code available on my GitHub
Any suggestion/idea is welcome.
Do it at your own risk. I'm not responsible if any damage is done to your device.

Features
- 2.6.35.7 source for GingerBread.
- Unsecure mode.
- Swap support.
- Overclock to 1.2Ghz and undervolt capabilities (use SetCPU or another software for UV).
- Added lazy (default), interactive, interactiveX, smartassv2, ondemandX governors.
- Added BFQ, V(R) and SIO (default) schedulers.
- Init.d support.
- Added statically linked busybox 1.19.3 (/sbin)*.
- Modified adbd (pointing shell to /sbin/sh), so you can use adbd even if you don't have any partition working*.
- ext4 support (ghetto lagfix).
- ClockWorkMod (beta). Nandroid backup - restore works, mount/umount, format (formats to ext4).
- You can boot in stock recovery placing /cache/.stock_recovery file (In terminal, just do 'touch /cache/.stock_recovery'), and reboot to recovery.
- CIFS support.
- jhash3.
- SoD patch from netarchy/coolbho3k.
- TinyRCU.
- netarchy's conservative tuning patch.
- Custom bootanimation support (/system/media/bootanimation.zip) from Entropy512's kernel.
- Per-File fsync() disable - For info, look here.
- Charginghacks from Entropy512.
*Useful for recovery/unbrick purposes. My device got bricked and got the partition table faulty. With this, you can rebuild your partition table using fdisk.

Kernel r3
Kernel r2 <- first working kernel.
Initial upload (r1) <- doesn't boot. So don't bother to flash it.
Installing:
Odin:
- Download kernel from site.
- Get your device in download mode (device turned off, press vol down key, plug the usb cable.
- Open Odin3.
- Select kernel file in PDA section.
- Keep the rest Odin settings untouched (make sure re-partition, phone bootloader update and EFS clear aren't checked).
- Start.
CWM:
- Download kernel from site.
- Place .zip file in /sdcard/external_sd/.
- Reboot in recovery mode.
- Choose install zip from sdcard.
- Reboot.
Enable ghetto lagfix:
- FIRST: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AL LEAST 12MB OF FREE SPACE ON /SYSTEM PARTITION
- Enter in recovery mode (CWM).
- Do a full Nandroid backup.
- Reboot your device.
- Change .rfs.tar files in clockworkmod/backup/xx.xx.xx/ to .ext4.tar.
- Edit nandroid.md5 to match .ext4.tar files.
- Enter in recovery mode (CWM).
- Do a full restore.
- Reboot (you'll probably have some FCs, I got in GMaps and Market, just delete application's data/reinstall it).
If you want to go back to rfs, revert the steps.
Uninstalling:
- Download stock XXKPF kernel here.
- Flash it following the same instructions above.
