How to flash?
  1. Full wipe
  2. Flash using Odin (if you are not sure how to use Odin, do some research about this first)
  3. Restart and you are good to go

Will it work on my Galaxy Player?
  • Galaxy Player 5.0 International (with a physical home button) WORK
  • Galaxy Player 5.0 US (without physical home button) DO NOT WORK
  • Galaxy Player 3.6, 4.0 (US or International) DO NOT WORK


Acknowledgement
Actually I did very little to create this ROM. All credits should go to rumirand and Entropy512 who make the custom kernel and CWM possible. If I miss anyone, just let me know.

Disclaimer
I am not an experienced Android developer and this is my first ROM ever, so don't expect much from me if you run into problems. And I am not responsible for any damage done to your device.

Have you wipe the cache partition and do a factory reset? If there is old user setting in data partition, it can cause unexpected behavior.

I can do some small tweaks if it doesn't need to go too deep into the system, no guarantee though. Many new features will come from rumirand's kernel actually. e.g. lag-fix should come fairly soon.

Good call, a nice easy way to update to a rooted 2.3 if you are on 2.2.

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

Just used this to update from 2.2.2 to 2.3.5 on my daughters YP-G70 UK model. Absolutely painless - didn't even have to wipe data! all is working sweet and CWM too. Cheers again.

Glad that it works. A little surprise that it doesn't need a data wipe when going from 2.2.2 to 2.3.5. May be the stock ROM is designed to work with existing data.

Hi, can someone explain the difference between G70XXKPF (What I'm currently on, 2.3.5) and G70ZSKP8 ? Just the included locales?

I didn't do an app by app comparison, but on the surface it looks pretty much the same to me. These ROMs were release in different parts of the world, the major difference is the language support. e.g. ZSKP8 comes with a Chinese keyboard that can do handwritten input.

What is running on it now doesn't matter. Only what the device is matters. You confirmed that you have a compatible device.

In all the right places.. but I edited the md5 file on my phone using es text editor which is built into es file explorer.

In CWM, under the "Advanced and Debugging Menu", there is an option "Show Log". See if that can produce some useful information about what's happening.

    There is no Vietnamese in these 2 ROM. May be you can have a look at the ones that based on 2.3.6. They seems to have more languages but not sure if Vietnamese is included.

    Have a look at these 2
