CyanogenMod 7.2 for the Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6

Hello Galaxy Player community,
I finally compiled CM7 (Version 7.2) for our Galaxy Players 3.6.
Actually my build is not flashable, it's just an zip-file with the system, initramfs, bootstrap and more.
You can use this for developing or ROM porting.
This thread will be the development thread for CM7 on our devices.

6. Disclaimer

1. FAQs
Q: Is this build flashable?
A: No, it isn't.

Q: Can I try to push the SYSTEM folder from the zip to my device?
A: Yes, but I can't guarantee that it will work, in worst case, just reflash the stock rom with ODIN.

Q: Is this for the EU or US version of the YP-GS1?
A: I think it will work on both, but I took the specs from an EU device.

Q: How long does it took to build it?
A: It took 2 months.

Q: Are the proprietary files already included?
A: Yes, they are.

2. Sources
Samsung OSRC: opensource.samsung.com
Device tree: github.com/team-hurricane-xda/android_device_cm7_aalto
CyanogenMod: github.com/CyanogenMod

3. Contents of the zip-file
There 4 folders in the zip-file:
BOOT: This is were the ramdisk files are stored. If you don't know what a 'ramdisk' is, just google it.
RECOVERY: This is the ClockworkMod custom recovery.
SYSTEM: This is the /system folder which contains CyanogenMod
OTA: Just some unneccessary files, ota-keys, manifest and more.

4. Downloads
Version 1: Uploading... (Sorry, my internet connection is very very slow)

5. Thanks to...
...SerkTheTurk for helping me, I hope his CM7 build for the 4.2 will be finished soon
...Samsung and TI for this great hardware
...The OpenHandsetAlliance for their great Android
...CyanogenMod for their great CustomROM

Wow... There are really nice people who do all this hard work for free just for giving people some things that for them are impossible in other way...

I think that the less we can do is to say thank you and congratulations MrBubble (and all the people working on it)!

Good work! Is this complete cm7?

Sent from my YP-GI1

Yes, it is a complete CM7 build.
Solution for libcamera.so:
1. Download this: https://github.com/galaxyishere/android_vendor_samsung_galaxysl
2. Replace "galaxysl" in the files in the root directory with "hugo" (galaxysl-vendor.mk, galaxysl-vendor-blobs.mk and BoardConfigVendor.mk)
3. Replace the files in the dir called proprietary with the files from a system dump from your player 4.2 (You will find the files in: /system/vendor, /system/lib, /system/bin and /system/firmware)
4. Make directory: <cm7source>/vendor/samsung/hugo
5. Copy the files there
6. Try building, GOOD LUCK!
MrBrubble :)

This is a dev thread. He doesn't have to list bugs.

But if I were guess, I'm gonna say everything from WiFi to camera, to Bluetooth and etc

Yeah I understand but people would have a better understanding if they wanted to flash this. Also people could contribute to his device tree, knowing the bugs that they would fix

Downloading now will see what i can do

Okay i made a flashable zip file but it is not booting i think because it is missing the Boot.img file because it has no kernel now!!!

You need to compile a good kernel first before we can actualy try it out Thanks!!!

If you have a good kernel that is compitable with CM7 and our device i can modify the updater-script to let it install the kernel to then we can see if it will boot up!

PS:

This is maybe a better logo for your thread:

I tried but it said "no rule to make otapackage" :/

Sent from my YP-GS1 using xda app-developers app
I've researched the problem with trying to make otapackage and apparently you need to include recovery before starting the build. I'm not sure how to include it but I'm pretty sure it's in BoardConfig.mk, something along the lines of 'TARGET_NO_RECOVERY := false' but then again I'm not quite sure, and btw did you include a prebuilt kernel?

    Ok guys,
    I've been back a while because of private life.
    The new version (MS 1.5) will be released in a few days.
    I also started the development on the 3.0 Linux kernel for porting CM11. (KitKat here we come!)
    6
    @HellPie @jmindset

    My support plans are:
    1. Port Linux/Android Kernel 3.0.8 to the GP 3.6 EU (mostly done)
    2. Port CM11 to GP 3.6 EU
    3. Port Kernel 3.0.8 to the GP 3.6 US
    (and publish CM11 for the US one)
    4. Maybe:
    - Port Kernel 3.0.8 to the GP 4.2
    - Port CM11 to the GP 4.2
    4
    Really: tahnks you for your work! But what does "XP" stand for?

    It stands for "Experimental build"
