zaclimon · Nov 21, 2013

CyanogenMod 11 is a free, community built distribution of Android 4.4 (Kitkat) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone, tablet or PMP.

Code:

#include 
/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 */

These are CM11 builds for the Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0. It may cause all the things in the disclaimer to happen, or steal your girlfriend while you are busy flashing ROMs.

Note: Please backup your efs in case of something goes wrong (the zip should backup it but we're never too sure) To do so execute this command:

Code:

dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs

Download: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ypg1

Rom Install instructions:
If coming from stock:
1. Download the CM zip
2. Make your backups!!
3. Make sure your efs is intact (not blank)
4. Boot into recovery
5. Flash the CM zip (Note: upon flashing it, your device will hang, IT'S NORMAL. Wait about 10-20 secs then force reboot your device)
6. Let the installer do it's things...
7. The device will reboot a last time into recovery where you can flash gapps if you want. (No wipe is necessary at this point because the zip have wiped it)
8. Reboot
9. Enjoy!!

If coming from a Pre-LVM build: (ALL builds before 28/12 as well as CM10.1, CM10.2)
1. Download the CM zip
2. Boot into recovery
3. Make a nandroid backup
4. Flash the CM zip (You'll receive an warning concerning /data partition, it didn't flashed anything yet so you can make a final check before flash)
5. Reflash the CM zip again (the zip will reboot your device into recovery again and this reboot is needed!!!)
6. After the reboot, reflash for a third time the zip (The real installation begins!!)
7. After the installation succeded, you can flash your gapps and restore your data from an advanced restore with nandroid (IF NEEDED as the zip wipes data for the new partition layout)
8. Reboot
9. Enjoy!!

If coming from an LVM build:
1. Download the CM zip
2. Boot into recovery
3. Flash the CM zip
4. Flash Gapps (If necessary)
5. Enjoy!!

Pre-LVM rom instructions!! (Deprecated)

1. Download cm-9-20130402-kernel-preflash.zip (md5: 4a900fcddbc3d81d121a7b9c9d4bb0a0)
2. Download cm-11-20131208-UNOFFICIAL-ypg1.zip
3. Make all your backups.
4. Make sure your efs is intact (not blank).
5. Boot into recovery, make more backups.
6. Flash cm-9-20130402-kernel-preflash.zip (temporary workaround for first-time install from stock)
7. Flash cm-11-20131208-UNOFFICIAL-ypg1.zip

Installation Notes:
When you install for the first time, there is a conversion to the new MTD partition layout. The installer will flash the new kernel and reboot. It is possible for this process to hang up on the samsung logo (still working that part out). It is normal to see the Samsung logo appear 3 seperate times during this reboot phase. **Please wait at least a minute before assuming you are stuck.** If this happens, you should extract the boot.img from the installer zip and flash it with heimdall (heimdall flash --kernel boot.img, or other appropriate GUI methods). It should boot back into recovery. You need to flash the zip one more time as CWM made some changes since 4.3 and thus, the *smooth* installation isn't working anymore. Once the install finishes, you should be able to flash your gapps.

Please do NOT report something related to ART yet, as it is a experimental feature, there's stuff that are expected to break

**Google Apps are not included in these ROMs. You'll need to install those yourself if you want them. Recommended and highly suggested are the 4.4 Gapps

Known Issues:
- You tell me

Notice:

As per previous CM versions, it is recommended to wipe BOTH /system and /data prior installing CM11 into your device.

Gapps:

Here's gapps I've been using and it do works with ART, the latest one should work just fine. (Thanks to dhacker29):

There's also BaNkS gapps in which core gapps only weights about 20MB and contains only basic stuff like sync and play store:

Also here's a website where you can find the ART compatible apps (Thanks @TheTehk17 for the tip):

Holy mother of god, that's awesome. Now I know what to do, flashing time! Thanks

Edit: Only for the info, what is the size of our system partition? Is it 1.85 Gb?

The actual size of /system is 455,5 MB. I could squeeze other partitions space to get a 10mb more. The other thing I could do is to make like actual Aries device which they merge /system and internal SD card. Which give us a whole lot of space but would take a bit of time to implement because I'm really busy right now. (cegep as you know...)

Yeah I know what it is, alot of work all at the same time. I only wanted to know the size, for me 455mb is way enought space, I install almost nothing on my player to keep it clean. On the other way, just finished wiping/flashing/repairing everything, running it right now and setting my stuff, so far so good, all is going as it should. One thing I noticed is that the status bar isn't transparent, no big deal, I think it's not in cm for now, or maybe I forgot something.

Transparent status bar is implemented in android 4.4, However, the thing is I set a special flag for our devices here :

https://github.com/bbelos/android_device_samsung_ypg1/commit/f0f6b0f812ea820a581957446b05c36c912c1616

This flag disable all framework fancy stuff (as well as other things you've probably seen) to be sure that it doesn't use as much ram as possible. You can remove it, it's in the build.prop. I do know that I've enabled lockscreen transparent status bar but I don't think I've enabled it for the home screen.

Should the play store apk be missing from the gapps?
.
Found it in priv-app.

No it shouldn't. As I said, you may want to remove some apps because maybe the limitations of the space cause some apps to not install properly... You can try these gapps too. (though I can't confirm their compatibility with ART)

The core are the lightest ones (about 20 MB but include basically the play store and sync stuff)

How do you even get YouTube to play HD? I have to use a modded apk using the old YouTube app

I set my device DPI to 90 because I prefer the tablet ui experience. I think if you set your device DPI to 213 or lower it should play HD video without the need for a nodded apk.

Wait, you're going to cegep... you're not by any chance going to Marianopolis, are you? If you are, we've been going to the same college without knowing it since august!

Nope, I'm in ahuntsic since the beginning of the year. (Marianopolis, Dawson, etc are a bit too far from my home as I live in the north-east side of the island XD) It would have been funny that we haven't seen each other since the first day loool.

Actually I'm kinda surprised that that there's a 3rd Canadian here!! (even more another qcer)

Wow can't wait to try this out especially for the RAM usage and ART

One thing though...is Voodoo Sound included as usual?

So to enable the transparent status bar on the home screen I have to set to false that value and abandon Project Svelte??

BTW it's not transparent in the lock screen:angel:

Well idk about project svelte(maybe, maybe not) but yes it enables transparent status bar.(and you need to reboot your device to take effect. )
