[ROM][4.4.4][YP-G70][GCC4.8] Nexus 5 Experience, crDroid for Galaxy Player 5.0

[kykint]

Hi G70 users!
I've built some KitKat based custom ROMs for GP 5.0 out of opensource device and kernel source and I'm here to share them with you
These builds include
- ArchiDroid optimizations V3 by @JustArchi
- Nutella kernel & device source by @Meticulus
- SaberMod Toolchain by Saber-Dev (I'm not sure what their xda username is..?)

Just download one, reboot into recovery, wipe userdata and flash the ROM with GApps.
Huge thanks to @Meticulus, as our Galaxy Player would have been dead ages ago if it were not for him.

Downloads
N5X: (Something went wrong in the last build, figuring out what's the troublemaker..)
crDroid: http://mii.iptime.org:88/samsung/galaxy%20player%205.0/crDroid/
(Zoom out for smaller text sizes, if too big)
crDroid Mirror: http://achonapp.com/?path=/samsung/GALAXY PLAYER/YP-GB70/kykint/crDroid
PA GApps: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15797a (Micro-Modular recommended)
SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

What's working
Probably everything that works on @Meticulus 's CarbonROM.

Tips
Tap 'build number' repeatedly in Settings > Device info to enable Developers options.
Set max frequency to 1400MHz for better performance in Settings > Performance > Processors.
Set current runtime to ART for super smoothness in Settings > Developers options.
Enable 'Force highend graphics' to use Dynamic System Bars in Settings > Performance.

Check out https://github.com/kykdev/android if you want to build one by yourself. Only 'crdroid' branch is working properly at the moment.

The link is working fine with me, what's the matter exactly? You can't access the page?

Added a mirror for crDroid in the OP, maybe that one will do.

Sorry for being late. Will be back with N5X soon.

Kykint-

It appears that the DSPManager.apk may be missing from the System App folder of this crDroid Rom. I am receiving "unfortunately, dsp manager has closed" errors whenever attempting to play any music.

This occurred on both builds of this Rom. Your old Nexus5 build is working normally and I confirmed that the DSPManager.apk is in that Rom.
I am now trying to add the apk to the System App folder of the crDroid Rom. I'll let you know if that works.

Other than that issue, thanks for a great Rom!

Thanks for your report.
Actually the dspmanager apk is well located in system/priv-app and my own GP is playing musics without any problem. Try factory reset and re-installing ROM, and then let me know if it is still broken.[emoji6]

hi. do I have to install older CM rom before intall this one? I'm on 2.3.6. Thank you

 

[lewrydiboys]

as I received no answer I tried to install, but recovery says I can't install because my device is herring, not venturi. what is that? my device is YP-G70 international

 

[lewrydiboys]

solved: install CM9 is mandatory
