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

[ambrice]

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

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!

 

[iJimaniac]

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

 

[noisyfox]

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!

 

[dunca123]

Woooo

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

 

[exodus454]

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!

 

[Rapydax]

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

Umm they don't work because you can't use this ROM. This is for U.S.A users only. Sorry. But I tested it, works FANTASTIC! Camera is a bit funny lol and everything is so smooth. ICS themes work Love it, great, thanks for your hard work! WiFi is also not a problem for me soo I don't know about any problems with that. One thing i do wanna mention is that GApps wasn't on here, so i downloaded that and it works just fine. It synced all my apps back in and everything is fine. THANKS!

I know, so I'm trying to fix it(maybe it's too hard for me).
I want to replace it's driver with rj's kernel...
But I don't know how to unpack boot.img....
I tried split_bootimg.pl but it don't work... I also tried hex editor but failed...

 

[dunca123]

To recognize my SD all I did was remove it and put it back. The wifi is a problem for me. The camera is funny lol. A few apps. Are not installing properly. Installed Gapps and it seems to be working. All in all needs a few bug fixes, but this is a great ROM. oh, and the overclocking would be a nice feature to get working.

I dont have any problems with sd but wifi just dont turn on anymore so i had to get back to entropy's kernel

I'll try next update

 

[exodus454]

Wifi seems to be working without any issues and the camera seems to be working but the image is mirrored. Installed Gapps and the market is working again. My SD card is working normally too, although the music library seems to be non-functional.

The only issue I've come across so far is that for some reason when I installed zeam launcher it just force closes. Also just noticed that none of the capacitive button lights work.. although I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

If you have a non-USA 5.0 you can't just install this ROM and reflash the kernel, becuase the "kernel" on samsung devices contains a lot of ROM-specific files from the root filesystem (init.rc being the main one).

I need someone with a non-USA 5.0 to post the following:

outputs of:
adb shell cat /proc/mounts
adb shell ls -l /dev/block/

Then, most critically, reboot into CWM recovery and go to Advanced -> Key Test. Press all the buttons on the device and post what the key codes are (for example when you hit the Menu button it should show "Key: 139").
