Hi all,
I'm glad to announce the first custom kernel and rom for YP-G1 - Galaxy S WiFi 4.0 EU and USA version
IMPORTANT NOTICE: DON'T TRY TO INSTALL ON A galaxy S wifi 5.0 player or a Korean Galaxy S wifi 4.0 => It will brick your device

IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you have a USA Galaxy player 4.0 install only the usa kernel. If you have an international Galaxy Player 4.0 you can install only the EU kernel or first the ROM and then the latest kernel.

Kernel changelog:

[CURRENT KERNELS]

STeVE's Kernel 3.0
-Based on STeVE's kernel 2.1
-Added all major cpu governors (interactive, interactivex, smartassv2, lazy). Interactive is now the default one for good responsivity
-Added all major I/O schedulers (sio,v(r),bfq,...). SIO is the default one
-Maximized SD card read speed with read ahead
-Init.d script support (Klin's patch)
-Overclock and undervoltage support

At default, no overclock is applied. Kernel is tweaked for good battery/performance ratio. If you want you can tune your parameters using SetCPU (available on market) or similar programs.

STeVE,

I have a player 5.0 wifi with the latest ota ki8 2.3.5 on it.

I have dumped the system got the pit and deodexed...zipaligned....batxh optimized....currently working in mods and and a custom theme...
Problem....i only have the device a few more days.
Question
Would you like to help me cwm the recovery for the zImage?
Nothing fancy
And I will mod the files for the recovery. I just need help with compiling and repacking.....i dont have the time to be guessing and playing.
Say do you think you have the time to work on this with me?

Hi -SteveS- and XDA Community, i wanna thank you steve, for such an splendid work this is the first step for us to customize our devices so Thanks!. I have tested it and it runs great, i liked the notification icons, though the crt animation doesnt work or i dont know if i have to activate it or something, i imagine it's the same on Droid X2 animation the one that closes the screen from top/bottom to the center, right, well i cant see it.

I took the liberty, since there is no screenshots of the ROM anywhere, to take them:

Hi, have you enabled all window animations under Settings -> display?

Thanks for the screenshots!

Considering I can move around linux ( I do web servers management) are you able to guide through what you did so I can compile the kernel with voodoo sound for the US version?
I mean what changes? The source where to start from?

Yes - consider this a request for source code in accordance with section 3 of the GNU General Public License version 2 under which the Linux kernel is licensed.

    Yeah, but he hasn't pushed his commits for R3.0 yet.

    They are already on my new github. The link is at the bottom of the OP :)

    Yeah, I got it fixed! But that post was supposed to be a pm to klin! Sometimes I hate tapatalk!

    By the way it would be smart to make a dump of every partition and keep them as backup just in case you screw something up beyond just the system. ;)
