I did all you said in the installation process, but nothing worked. I wiped data, factory resetted, and wiped cache prior to installation., but it still doesn't work. All it does after installation was just showing the Samsung logo.

How long does it take to boot? I might take a jab at it again, though I think that it might not work. There something telling me that the International Build must have a little variant in its build other than the difference of capacitive/physical home screen buttons.

And system too? Did you check your md5sums? How about a logcat

Go to mounts and storage and rewipe system data and cache. Then go to install zip and and toggle signature verification so it's enabled. Then install it again

Trying to install with enabling of the signature verification.

About changing the .kl file, which file is the right .kl file, as there were dozens of them in the file.

So apparently, I got it booted and it's running pretty smooth!

One BIG issue: NONE of the capacitive buttons and physical home button work.

I don't have the device with me right now. I think the one you're looking for only has 3 lines that say back menu and home. Are you wiping the system too?!

Saw your edit. Maybe try dumping your system backup to your computer and extracting every file from the /system/usr/keylayout folder and pushing them to the device

I checked the .kl file with the capacitive keys numeric value and they all correspond to the one found in the CWM Key Test, meaning that all buttons' numeric values correspond with your build.

I guess the only thing left to do is to try your alternative suggestion, though my computer has trouble recognizing my device after switching to ICS.

Is enabling on-screen buttons the better alternative, as none of my capacitive buttons still work and it's becoming a hassle to do.

The international gplayer kernel guys will get it soon. They know their stuff. Chrome relies on hw acceleration so I'm surprised it even works at all :0

I agree they will get it soon though it's a matter of time really. Just wanna get my hands on it first, but none of the buttons working is really a deal-breaker for now.

It's working pretty well on mine! I flashed it a few hours ago and have been playing around with it.. loving it so far. I wasn't expecting to see even an alpha of this for another few weeks. It's also surprisingly stable, great work!

Not sure why, but I tried flashing gapps right after I flashed the ROM and it didn't work. 2nd time around was successful though.

Haven't started a backport of 3.0 yet. Until then, I can't say for sure if apps that require full hw acceleration will work properly like Netflix and chrome

    if you dislike the alpha and would like to restore to stock, you can simply restore a clockwork backup

    flash video doesn't work either, but it will play sound of the video. if flash video you wish to play has an enlarge to full screen button, you can press that and it should work fine. i just tried with some nytimes.com video

    i didn't feel like making a new post because this is merely a pre-alpha. it is meant only for the US versions of the Galaxy Player 5.0. i'd just like to thank fellow xda developers:

    Entropy512 for his kernel/clockwork package
    ambrice for his cm7 kernel /w clockwork and source and which i modified to work with ICS
    tdmcode

    what doesn't work:
    camera
    netflix (not fully hw-accelerated)
    flash videos inside the browser (youtube app works fine)
    vibration
    apps to the sdcard has been disabled because it caused random reboots (we have 1.8 gigs of /data storage so this shouldn't be a problem for now)
    the wifi signal strength indicator in the status bar is empty even though it should show bars
    gps lock takes a minute or so, but it does work

    read directions! i take no responsibiltiy if you mess up because you didn't read thoroughly!

    the download is available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?ligilswnp7p40qd
    md5sum 5217b92d3dbf4f772827fc13df49434b 3-18-ICS-ALPHA.zip

    instructions:
    1. push the .zip to to your sdcard, as well as meant for ics from here http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
    2. install a kernel that allows for rebooting to clockwork (power+volume up on boot) and make a backup of your current setup
    3. in clockwork, go to mounts and storage and wipe system, data, and cache
    4. go to install .zip from sdcard and install 3-18-ICS-ALPHA.zip, then install gapps
    5. reboot and enjoy!

    Got a boot!!! First try!! It's actually very smooth from what I can see. It's the barebones as in I didn't try for anything to work except for booting so I can see what's up with the hardware :) gonna need help with the boot.img as the boot.img is ripped straight off from the CM7 built by XDA user ambrice (thanks for your code too, ambrice!!)

    A booting build is around 80% of the work, now it's just tinkering and whatnot

    Making progress.

    Got the camera linkage fixed by not using proprietary libs. Cameras probably won't work when it comes up but oh well, I'll fix that later.

    Also had to remove the proprietary libsensorservice. I copied one that I found an an i9000 ICS ROM. Seems to load, no idea if it works.

    Now the system is starting up, I think, but the screen is black. logcat shows that surfaceflinger is complaining about GL errors. Need to track that down...

    Hi I have found the way to port ICS to the galaxy players.:D :
    http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/compile-ics

    The problem is that I can't find the binaries for the galaxy player. Where I can find them?

    Well here's a quick update:

    Got my new computer my build environment all set up and it builds in 20 minutes rather than an hour and a half :-D

    I've fixed a few things like the wifi signal bars, enabled the screen off animation and vibration will be back (thanks to ambrice's CM7 boot.img)

    I also found the ways to enable the virtual soft buttons that the galaxy nexus has. I think I will make a script that you can run in the terminal that will enable the virtual soft buttons (and disable the actual soft buttons) and will have another script to revert back to normal. I might make this a zip but I haven't thought about the best and most efficient way to do this

    I'm still trying to find out how to enable tablet mode for those who want it but haven't made any progress in finding out how to do so :/
