wtf is wrong with some people on this forum? if you can't answer politely then don't bother answering, no one is forcing you to !

You have fastly became champion of retard question..off course you are not only one..question in galaxy player section are far lowest in xda forum..i guess its because players are used most by kids..its no wonder that almost all developers have escaped from here.

I'm hardly a mediator here, but I feel like I have to step in. People say inconsiderate things. Sometimes, they don't even mean to be inconsiderate. When I see some confused GP user insult another, I LET IT BE. We've already had a mod step in on the CM10 thread. C'mon, this is just sad. We need not behave like children. Let's tell those who do know that they're not behaving appropriately.

and the responses that are given show what? your maturity :confused:

no one has got the time to listen to your BS rants, maybe people in your homes do, not in the WWW!

don't want to help, fair enough, move on and don't bother spitting filth if you can't do anything better!

My YP-G70 is not mounting the /system correctly in recovery.

When I am in the recovery mode, I use adb shell to check the file list (ls).

It shows no files to me, and thus I cannot install custom rom.

Any help?

Im very interested in converting this kernel for the US variant, would that be allowable and if so do i just have to change the drivers in the defconfig for the home button or are there other differences?

Isn't it same as entropy's kernel? Or at least differencies aren't noticeable?

Mostly, im more interested in the new governers and I/O schedulers and swap support. The small differences. :)

If there isn't a defconfig option for the USA variant then you can always import the governors and I/O schedulers to Entropy's kernel and enable swap in the defconfig.

i found the CONFIG_VENTURI_USA option in the defconfig, but when i compile the kernel it is 15~ mb. Im following the readme exactly, what am i doing wrong? :(
Edit: fixed it! Forget to delete .git from the initrd folder :D

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
  • 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.

r1
- Initial upload -> doesn't work.

Download:

Kernel r14 (Odin) - Kernel r14 (CWM)
Kernel r13 (Odin) - Kernel r13 (CWM)
Kernel r12 (Odin) - Kernel r12 (CWM)
Kernel r11 (Odin) - Kernel r11 (CWM)
Kernel r10 (Odin) - Kernel r10 (CWM)
Kernel r9 - CWM beta
Kernel r8 - CWM beta
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.

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.

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.

Mine is stuck on the Samsung logo screen. Any ideas?

    Bump to r10.

    Changes:
    - Battery drain is gone (SoD patch removed FOR NOW).
    - Latest patches/fixes from Entropy512's source.

    Later will update my Github.

    Do you have any plans to make an overclock kernel?

    Yes. It's only changing some lines of the source code. Will test later today/tomorrow.

    I'll upload it when it's done.

    Is this a Froyo or GB kernel? The kernel on my device has version 2.6.35.7 (GB 2.3.5). Apart from this, is there a way to backup the existing kernel before testing the development kernel. Thanks!

    The best option would be ofc moving to 4.2.2 and forgetting about 3mpx camera ;)
    About swap, bad idea.
