[ROM] (4/15/12) KlassicROM 2.3.6 for YP-G1 USA + INTL [R5: FINAL]

Klin's Klassic 2.3.6 ROM for Galaxy Player 4.0 USA + INTL​

Future updates now managed by hanthesolo here

I have done the best I could with this ROM, and it has been a great learning experience for me. Unfortunately, I don't have time to continue to release new versions, and I feel it's easier if I just mod my own ROM I am using to my personal use. That way I can customize it the way I want without having to suit the needs of others, and I don't have to deal with those who are ungrateful and take any help from XDA for granted. But once CM7 (big thanks to tdmcode) becomes fairly stable, I *might* consider using it as a base and creating a new custom ROM for the public. But for now, I am no longer developing ROMs, but I will still continue my kernel. (BTW, R2 changes are already on GitHub, just need to compile them now)
Well, still, thanks to all those who supported my first custom ROM!

I've been working on a new ROM, and instead of updating Klassic I will start over completely with a newer and different ROM. Hanthesolo has taken over and will be using my ROMs as a base for his.

As I was messing with my Galaxy Player, I discovered that ROMs for these devices can be swapped between the INTL and USA versions as long as you have the right kernel. This ROM is based off of 2.3.6 XXKPQ for the International YP-G1 but can work for the USA version too. Enjoy

Installation Instructions in 2nd Post

Special thanks to:
- zeppelinrox for his V6 Supercharger
- SteveS for his custom kernel
- Choucas06 for making a dump of the 2.3.6 firmware a while ago.
- Entropy512, rumirand, Meticulus, and many others not mentioned here.

- Lastly, thank YOU for being part of this community.


If you like my ROM, please click 'thanks'. It keeps me encouraged to continue to share my work.

Please don't post errors or issues unless you have DONE A WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET and still have those issues. Seriously, a simple reset can solve all sorts of problems.

How to Install:

WARNING: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DO SOMETHING DUMB AND BRICK YOUR DEVICE. You are flashing at your own risk. Thank you.

Note: If you are updating from a previous version of Klassic, you most likely do not need to wipe data/factory reset, but still wipe cache and dalvik-cache for best results.

1. Install the appropriate Steve's kernel for your device (USA or INTL) from here and make a CWM backup just in case anything goes wrong.
2. Download the file klassic_2.3.6.rar from the download link.
3. Extract the .rar file.
4. Boot into download mode and connect to your PC. Make sure you have Kies installed so you have the USB Drivers.
4. Open Odin, check the PDA box and select klassic_2.3.6.tar.
5. Do NOT use a PIT file or select repartition.
6. Click start, and wait for it to finish flashing.
7. After flashing, boot into CWM recovery, 'wipe cache partition', and 'wipe dalvik cache'. This is VERY important and can fix bootlooping.
8. It is recommended to do a 'wipe data/factory data reset', but if you don't have any problems with the new ROM then you don't have to.
9. Reboot, and now you have your new ROM!

If you appreciate my work and want to encourage me to keep developing, don't post "thanks", just click it!

Finally a ROM for my Galaxy Player. Will it be possible to make it a clockwork zip?

Probably not, because this ROM can work with stock kernels that don't have CWM.

I am currently working on smooth scrolling mod and advanced power menu mod. They will probably be included in r2. Also, I suggestions/ideas for new features are welcome, just don't say unreasonable stuff like cm9 or something cuz this is all pretty new to me and I'm not a real dev.

Here is my problem. Odin doesn't work in 64 bit Windows for me and it obviously doesn't work in Ubuntu. Can't use Heimdall because the Galaxy Player isn't supported. I'm already running a custom kernel.

Maybe you could look over here:

It seems like someone got Heimdall working on the Galaxy players. If you try that and it doesn't work, then I will consider making it CWM compatible.

Edit: wait... Are you sure Odin doesn't work in 64 bit Windows? I have a computer with 64 bit Windows 7 and flashing with Odin worked for me.

Tecardo said:

Ok, tested it on 64bit.
result as of now: Infinite Bootloop at start up.

Can someone extract me the /system folder of a YP-G1?
It loops after the kernel.
As i have CWM i can look in Logs and so on, when some can say me where i find this logs.

Thank you.

Did you wipe dalvik cache and cache?

Tecardo said:

Yes... I think i need a odin or cwm flash file for /data and /system. Cause /data is empty after flashing...
I thought that CWM doesn't flash /data. So i need a factory reseted /data.

Thanks,
Mike Leitner.

:what:...
OK I'm confused. This ROM only flashes /system. Please be as specific as possible and explain exactly what is wrong now and what you did to get there.
For now, and you could try wipe data/factory reseted in CWM.

Do I actually need Kies to install this rom, or just the Samsung USB drivers that Win7 installed afterward?

The reason I ask is that I keep getting a connection error in Kies, telling me to connect in Studio Mode. This is after installing and uninstalling 3 different Kies versions from 2.0xxx to 2.1xxx. After trying to connect unsuccessfully for about an hour, I got pissed off and uninstalled Kies but the USB drivers are still installed.

Thanks for making this rom and thanks for any advice.

As long as odin recognizes your player, then you are good to go and can flash the ROM.
