[ROM][DEV] CM7 for Player 5.0 USA and INTL 3/26/2012

---

Beta 1 CyanogenMod 7.2.0 KANG ROM for the Player 5.0 USA and INTL

Preliminary release, less problems than before.

Please note that for now I have removed the assert that was causing problems for INTL users, but this means nothing will stop you from installing this ROM on the wrong device! Please make sure you have a Galaxy Player 5.0 USA or INTL before installing this ROM!

Instructions:

• Install Entropy512's kernel if you're on stock ROM.
• Do a backup!
• Copy ROM to /mnt/sdcard/
• Reboot into Recovery Mode
• Wipe Data/Factory Reset
• Install zip from sdcard
• Reboot

Not that installing this ROM will automatically convert your rfs partitions to ext4 (lagfix). Except for the /efs partition which I'm scared to touch.

Known Issues:

• Camcorder doesn't work
• Wireless issues
• Boot loop when plugged in to USB port while powered down

Fixed in Beta 1:

• Camera
• Vibration

Fixed in Alpha 2:

• External sdcard mounts properly. By default, internal sdcard mounts as /mnt/sdcard and external sdcard mounts as /mnt/emmc. This is a better default I think since some devices may not have an external sdcard. To switch, go to Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Application and uncheck "Use internal storage"
• Airplane Mode
• Wireless seems more reliable? Not perfect..
• Updated to Entropy512's overclocking kernel

TODO:

• Unify with tdmcode 4.0 release if possible..
• More testing. Please post your issues

Thanks to tdmcode for the help and Entropy512 for the kernel. Thanks also to noisyfox for the INTL fix.

Downloading

After installing i'll post my impressions

Thanks for this!

Ok I've installed this.. I've notice:
1: wifi turnoff when i lock my player but doesnt turn on automatically
2: camera bugs confirmed
3: music in sd doesnt appear in players

Looking forward to giving this a try once more of the bugs are worked out.. good work!

Awesome job! I can't thank you guys enough for how much you are doing!

I have a INTL device and I just can't wait to help you to test it! By the way, good job!
I'm porting MIUI to G70 so I'm sure I can learn a lot from your CM7 rom!
Haha, I'm so excited!

Woooo

Thank you a lot for your effort, definitely going to flash this once it is downloaded!

Just tried it since I was curious.. looks really cool! Seems to be working pretty well considering it's an alpha build. I've never actually seen CM7 before so that was interesting.

I'll definitely be using it once its out of alpha!

Hey good job.
Is there a possibility that this ROM could also come out for the International version?

Should imagine so maybe Installing rj's kernel for International instead of Entropy512's kernel would do the trick

@ambrice
cm7 is the best that has happened to this player
you rock!
