US System Dump/Firmware - GP5 YP-G70 - Fix Capacitive Buttons - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Here is a link to a system dump from a US galaxy player 5. I found this posted by user Meticulus on samfirmware.com and used it to fix the non usable capacitive buttons on my US galaxy player after flashing other non-us firmware which broke the buttons.

I wanted to post this in the development forum on all the threads that users had complained of this issue, but I don't have the required 10 posts. Hopefully someone else will post this in one of those threads.

what kind of files are these? why are they in this format as opposed to just making a zip with all the .apks

I didn't create it, but here is my understanding:
It's a partition dump (using dd) of /system (factoryfs.rfs ) and the kernel (zImage) rolled together to create a firmware tarball that can be flashed in odin. As far as I can tell this is the first one I have found that works on the US galaxy player 5. The other firmware packages (Korean and Italian), listed in the development section, broke the capacitive buttons (as reported by many others) on non-us models.
I have tested this on my US galaxy player 5 and it works and fixes the capacitive buttons. Additionally it does not wipe data, so your apps and configurations will stay.
I don't know how you could restore a system with apk's, so I am note sure what your referring to.

I have the galaxy player 4 and what I want the player 5 dump for is to get the official msn messenger that comes with the player 5 according to samsung's product page.
If the 5 comes with msn messenger can you upload the .apk for me?
I hate that iOS has the official msn messenger but Andriod does not.
thnx

Glad I could help... As far as I know my player did not come with msn messenger. I don't have it with me but I'll check later tonight...

Hi,
I have a US SGP5/YP-G70, and it doesn't have MSN Messenger app, as far as I can tell. Also, there's none on the SamsungApps either.
Jim

thanks Jim.

I second this, I used the file to restore my PLayer after bricking it and it returned it to original working condition. So it does work!!!

First of all thanks for sharing.
I just installed PacRom 4.3 on my SGP5 US, don't know what was it that killed the capacitive buttons but they don't respond no more, their leds are on, but no response on touch.
So now I have two questions:
Do you believe I can install/flash it along with the existing OS?
The link you provided directs to www.multiupload.com/681518H5EF which looks like malware asking me to install a downlader, do you still have the file?

Did you flash the right kernel ? (US version)
According to PAC-ROM's installation instructions, the kernel included in the ROM is the INTL one, download and flash the US version.
By the way you replied to a quite old thread, I don't think these informations are accurate now.

I did flash the US version kernel, and even that specific version you linked to, but the buttons are still dead

Did you ever get the buttons fixed? Looks like the same thing as happened to me again -_-

At least your device works. My Galaxy is dead doesn't want to seem to turn on fully. Which is odd, because I've gotten it to charge before after having it boot repeatedly.

WELL I GOT THE BUTTONS TO WORK BACK AGAIN, PLUS THE CHARGING BOOT LOOP IS GONE!
I re-flashed and repartitioned the stock rom with pit file with odin all over again.
Now I'm using stock rom, will have to root, CWMize and install JB all over again.

Yeah, I may have to do the same... if I can get my computer to recognize my USB cable.

Just in case anyone needs the file posted in the OP:
http://www.4shared.com/rar/QQFeyJ_g/YP-G70_UEKI8_MIN.html?
NOTE: This thread was created along time ago before there were any custom roms for the YP-G70. People were flashing the stock INT ROMS to their USA Players, causing their capacitive buttons not to work. Before I created the file above, there was no stock USA ROM to fix it....
So this thread has nothing to do with capacitive button issues on custom roms!

Thanks for this!
If you need help with testing the rom then send me a message whenever, my G5 is just collecting dust so I might as well get some use out of it, I honestly don't care if it breaks as the warranty has ran out anyway.

thanks for the update
but your download link at the end of first post is not working can you pls fix that
Tested
I didn't read the part about the exploding phone correctly or i would never have done it!
Startup was just the screen flashing bright yellow rapidly for about 30 seconds and then going dark. If you touched the screen or buttons then the display would activate and you can see it for a moment. I managed to get through the setup wizard to the main screen, the app drawer and access the rom manager app. Then rebooted into recovery from the home screen and restored my phone to cm7 1.9.
Amazing that i (on some level) had ics running on my phone Well done guys!
cmw was different too, it had a ***go back*** option at the bottom of each additional screen.
Exactly same here.
It have the *go back* button cuz is a cwm 5.2.7 based.
You must follow the guide correctly.

[ROM][Guide][4.0 US+INTL]GT-I9000 rom ports

WANTED: Users to port SGS roms to the 4.0. You will need to know how to complete a full restore if something goes wrong, but that's it. I cannot go through the forums searching for good SGS roms, as I have several threads to manage, and a rom to work on. The steps are easy for you though, and if you port a rom I will add it in the OP.
First of all, I want to say that I take NO credit on any of these roms. All I did was port them over and add speed tweaks, or added ones that users have ported. If the rom creators or mods have any issue whatsoever with this thread, I will happily take it down, even though I think it would be a large contribution to the 4.0 community. I will continue to update this forum with info as I go along.
I, after a fortunate afternoon of boredom, have managed to successfully begin porting I9000 roms to our devices! Fortunately, they are similar enough that it boots without any modifications. I will put up here any ports that I make, and any that the users create. Note that these WILL NOT BE UPDATED! These are one-time ports, to be used and improved upon by the community. Anything that is broken now will stay broken, unless a user decides to fix/update it, then I will include it in the OP.
What *should* work in all ported roms:
wifi
GPS
home buttons
everything else
What will probably *not* work on ported roms:
Bluetooth
Camera
backlight on buttons
Ported roms:
~GamerzRom odexed V11-~
Link to original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656081
Added:
V6 supercharger, and build.prop tweaks from it.
init.d tweaks from my rom
ext4 filesystem
Advanced mount options
Auto zipalign and Database optimize
Removed apps that do not work on our Player (such as the Dialer)

Original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536558
To use these Roms:
You MUST use a Gplayer kernel! GT-I9000 kernels will not boot!
A full wipe may be necessary with some roms if you encounter issues.
Converting (for porters)
Steps:
1. Download wanted rom (must be GB)
2.Move the zip to the internal sdcard
3.Reboot into recovery
4.Flash zip, then boot into download mode
5.Flash a SGP kernel
6. apply my mod pack to the rom, by either copying/pasting the system directory over the SGS rom's system directory, or by pushing it via adb, (eg. adb push /path/to/modpack /system).
7. Profit!
NOTE: after applying this, porters may want to remove non-working packages such as the dialer and mms, as they may cause issues with the end result if they are kept in. Do not delete phone.apk though!! This is required for the camera and some other things, and breaks stuff on certain roms. You have been warned.
NOTE: If you use this modpack, please give me credit, and link back to this thread so that more people can use it. Also, you should probably link back to the ported rom's thread as well, to avoid "ripping off" those devs.
Modpack:
Changelog
V1-
Preliminary release
Fixes wifi and GPS
Includes v6 supercharger and init.d tweaks
V2-
fixed vold.fstab so sdcard is mounted properly.
Download:
ModpackV1:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?diaq6im4i18ktf7
NOTE:Note that this is preliminary. It fixes everything listed, and attempts to fix some broken things. Your mileage may vary. This is not a cwm flashable zip! you much extract and adb push this over the existing system directory. This is mainly intended for porters, so users apply at your own risk. This will work, but is a very early release.
Modpack V2 (thanks to ChaosChris):

Yeah, it says that because it includes semaphore's kernel, which raises the max rom to 380, which we could do on our kernel's, but apparently that breaks a lot of stuff if you go much further then 350 (according to klin).
is the wifi fixed in your port or do we have to do your fix after flashing?
Just a word of advice, make sure you get permission from the devs! Also surely this will work with ICS roms right? Just swap out the SGS kernel with the SGP CM7 kernel and it should work (I think)

Yeah, it is fixed before you flash. Once I manage to iron out a few more bugs, I will probably release a "conversion pack" that fixes all the issues. I already have one that fixes wifi and gps, but bluetooth and camera have me stumped, and I do not want to replace the entire hw/lib folder, because some of these roms have lib optimizations, but I may have to.

Since I am merely redistributing their work, not incorporaring it into anything I have made, or taking any credit for it, I don't asking permission is necessary. I may be completely off base, but I think that as long as you give devs 100% credit, and link to their original work, it is okay. It may not be the best option, but neither is asking EVERY dev if I can port their rom, or ask permission for user-ported roms.
Youay have an idea there, althouh I think that zaclimon has tried it, and he said it wouldn't boot. I have 2 efs backups, so I guess I can try, although even if the kernel boots, I bet I will have to do a LOT more work before it is usable. I also believe that he said the issues may have been rom based, so here it goes, and wish me luck.

Whoops, I meant you . I will try with a official cm9 build from the SGS forums, and see if that fares any better. Probably will not, but it doesn't hurt to try.
EDIT: well, nevermind about that. He seems to have pulled all of his download links, and I cannot get to the CM7 build. Oh well...
I am going to try anyway with the I9000 package since it seems to have EXT4 support, and I *think* that was what was bootlooping me earlier. This as all just my hopeful rationalization, of course . A lot farther out there, but maybe I can use a SGP5.0 kernel to get it booting. A LOT less likely, but hey, i'm experimenting .
EDIT: I cannot try ICS, since I need to reboot into recovery a second time, and I cannot do that, as I have the intl bootloader on my US device, and it would require it to be booting first.

I think we should do like entrophy's because I get bored from mtd. Also just tried the gamerz rom port. As I see the camera works, don't know about bluetooth (it can turn on). Vibration works too. I was able to connect to wifi pretty fast and I have one word for this rom. FAST!!!!
Good job!!

Well, thet camera shows a preview, but fails when a pic is taken, for some reason. Bluetooth does turn on, but is not seen by any other devices, and cannot scan for others either. I did do a little tweaking with Gamerz, so it will be even faster than it was already, which is pretty blazing! I have 2 more that I can put up (I have a preliminary package that I just adb push over the system files that works for now). I have also gotten the camera apk onto my rom, and it works really well! It doesn't take 5 MP pics, or record 720p video (which may be because I am using Terrasilent, which reduces the amount of Vram the system can have), but tap to autofocus and everything else works pretty well. I have a sneaking suspicion that the camera is soft limited, not hard-limited.
I also noted that the external sd card isn't working too (a problem with vold.fstab I'll correct it right now)

Okay, it seems that the zip hosed my partitions (converted them to yaffs2 and mtd), so I am going to perform a full restore, and just keep porting GB roms. As soon as you can get the usb gadget driver working, zaclimon, I guess I can keep working on it, but for now I will just keep to GB.
Two more roms up! I will probably not port any other unless I see an especially good one, but I will put up my mod pack tomorrow.
has anyone found out if the ported roms enable tv out or has someone found out if tv out support is in the i9000 kernal?
TV out has to have hardware, or your not going anywhere. I think the galaxy player lacks the hardware unfortunately. If it does have the hardware, it was very dumb of Samsung not to enable it.

[ROM][4.0.4][Smooth]|l|l|l|l|l|l| Aberration 1.3 |l|l|l|l|l|l|l| 08/25/12

​ (Click on image above to go to the Aberration website)​
This is a continuation of my previous ShishirROM series of ROMS that started out on Gingerbread 2.3.4, and have evolved and expanded to today, where the latest version of ShishirROM is based off of XWLPG 4.0.3. Aberration is built completely independent of those and the only resemblance to my old ROMs is the dialer, which was an original creation anyways, but at it's heart, it's the next step. The ROM focuses on speed and smoothness and battery life. It incorporates common-sense fixes and ground-breaking features as well as third-party applications that bring something new to the table every time you use them. The ROM was inspired by the old Samsung gingerbread ROMS -- they were stable, fast, and just worked. This ROM manages to bring the same sort of feel back to the table while maintaining an updated look similar to the Galaxy S3 series of phones, and Android's resident Holo design. The Aberration Settings application is an extension of this ROM that lets you change some deeper settings, such as using Lidroid's beautiful 14 Notification Widget Mod instead of the default themed widgets, as well as provide an easier way for users to update to the latest version of Aberration, no matter which model of the Galaxy S2 they're running. This ROM aims to be the ONE ROM that supports every Galaxy S2 phone, and brings them on par with the super-phones coming out later this year. It's an update away from giving your phone four cores, two gigs of RAM, and a 4.8" SAMOLED HD display.
Features:
ODEXED (for smoothness)
Based on XWLPM
Siyah
Aberration Settings app
Lidroid 14 Quick Toggles

I built this ROM directly from XXLPM stock, not ported it from another unrelated device, sorry if that was unclear. The Galaxy S2 i777 and Galaxy S2 i9100 are EXTREMELY alike, so alike in fact that about five files hold the changes between them. No actual porting was done.
And I can't provide a link to the original since I made this, and this is the original lol. It's just a Stock Samsung ROM based off of 4.0.4 LPM with a few tweaks and fixes thrown in.
EDIT: Let me try and be more clear: this ROM was built off of XXLPM. It was initially tested on the i777 because that happens to be the device I have, but the development of the ROM was exactly the same for both versions. The i777 and i9100 versions are very different. Different modems, kernels, libs, etc. This ROM truly was built for both devices in mind, therefore it isn't a port.
EDIT2: Moved

What he means is that what special features or original features does the rom have in order for it to stay in the original development for example paranoidandroid, it has the capability of changing per app dpi, from phone ui to a tablet ui etc. Jkay framework which can customize almost everything from the lockscreen to the notification bar. Because if it is just a cooked rom with some features that has been gotten from other devs, it should belong to android development. But i may be wrong, maybe you have something special in the settings you mention on the OP. Good luck on your rom bdw.
Cheers!

Also, on a somewhat related note, pictures are uploaded to the ROM site.

Please comment with your experiences with Aberration! It'll help me build a better version for the i9100!
It's fantastic, thanks man.
Sweet looks like it works Removing all beta tags right now.

Depends specifically which zip. Go for it and if it messes up, just flash this ROM again to go back to default
Hello,
I wanted to try your rom, so i downloaded the i9100 zip and followed the installation steps and i got installation completed without any problems.
Then i choosed to reboot. The screen showed the Siyah logo, then the phone gave me a sound... and then nothing. Black screen. I have tried again and again but the same result. Maybe i am doing something wrong.
Thanks
too much bloatware dude.. maybe make a slim version
same issue. after siyah bootanimation a sound and then the screen blanks out.

Wrong section, Should be in Development, not original development. However can you explain the features of this ROM and perhaps a link to the original.

What kind of a rude person are you ? This is no way to post something on a thread
Anybody else facing this issue. Any suggestions for this issue.
For everyone facing the black screen issue, first make sure you're running the i9100 version, and confirm that you wiped data before installing, then try flashing another i9100 kernel before you boot up for the first time. It sounds like the kernel didn't get flashed for some reason. I'll have to do some more digging. If anyone can grab a logcat then i'd appreciate it, although I don't know if the Log service got started after the Siyah screen.
If it still doesn't work, it may not have gotten installed properly. Try going into mounts/storage in CWM and wipe /system, manually do a factory reset/wipe data, and wipe cache as well. That should get everything.
EDIT: If you're getting the sound after boot, that just means the boot animation isn't showing for some reason. Give it five minutes and see if the phone boots up. If so then I'll upload a fix for this when someone confirms that's the issue.

I left the phone on black screen after sound nearly for 25 minutes, but the phone didn't boot up

I don't quite understand what you mean by bloatware, since I allowed you to pick if you wanted to install most of it, and I allowed you to remove bloatware post-install anyways. Can you list some apps that you'd want an option to remove?

[Q][Player 4.0] Remics CM9

I have a few questions that I was wondering about. *I'm a noob at everything beyond rooting and flashing ROMs, so please don't kill me. Also, I can't post on dev forums, so please don't direct me to a dev forum to ask for help.*
A. Does anyone know if it would be safe to use the CameraFirmware.apk file from the IcyFusion ROM to make the camera functional in Remics UX for SGP 4? It is the same firmware even between ROMs because the physical camera hasn't changed, right?
B. How can I make the physical home button work? Is that involved or are there files I can just copy for a quick fix?
C. I noticed that gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip force closes even after I have flashed it. Which version is recommended for the Remics UX SGP 4 ROM?
Thanks in advance to any help you provide, and tell me if there is somewhere more appropriate for me to post this.
EDIT: I realise now that the United States version has a softkey home button, which is what I intended to say by physical home button.

I don't have a SGP4, so I can't answer all of your questions, but I do know that CameraFirmware.apk has nothing to do with taking pictures. It's just a way to update the.... Camera Firmware.

Well... That list is inaccurate. If you do install it, all it provides is an activity to dump or update the camera firmware. You can verify that on any launcher that allows you to add shortcuts to arbitrary activities. If it is needed for any camera app, it is only on stock roms. For example, the SGP5 has that apk on stock, but the camera works in cm10 without it

Getting buttons to work is a kernel configuration issue. For GAPPS, make sure /system has enough space, and try flashing other ICS packages.

Alright... any idea which kernel files to configure?

That is, you must recompile the kernel with PALLADIO_USA enabled or disabled depending on if you have a usa model.

Rom Video Installation Link
https://youtu.be/A3AbQHEjkRo
1. Watch Video (if downloaded old rom before V5)
1A. If downloaded V5 install as any other ROM use XAS or SPR CSC in aroma, reboot into recovery, clean kernel with cleaner, then install kernel of choice, reboot to system, wait 15 min. Profit.
2. Activate VM [email protected]
3. Give thanks or donate thanks for any donations
4. Enjoy
Note. Regular Message app wont work fully please use Textra or another alternate to the base one as it can send text and receive but cannot send Multimedia text. I recommend Textra Its beautiful and it automatically picks up Sprint APN Settings

Does SMS/MMS and data work with this? Are there any quirks like some of the other ROMs, like if the other person hangs up first you lose data? Or is this like a Sprint based port similar to Sac's, where all native things work including updating PRL/Profile etc? If so that would be AWESOME.
Thank you. I've been waiting for something new for my note 3. Will try when off work

Please read the original post. This is not like sacs. I dont have that kind of time to have that correctly fixed but its in there I just dont know how to activate those feature (PRL, Profile Update). SMS works but again not fully for Multimedia. Use alternate app for text like Textra if you want full capabilities. I did reach out to Sac23 for advice but he stated and i quote "Its not as simple as copy and paste" "Plus i no longer have a note 3 with Sprint to be able to test" Yet if any other developer has the time to help me fix it id gladly welcome it. It does not have FC on hangup

What recovery did you use to install this rom?
When I tried installing it, it sat for well over 20 minutes on the Samsung Splash Screen.
TWRP 2.8.7.0
I have made a video of the installation boot up time was 9 minutes after the install of rom. ill post the video tomorrow after i edit it it has my phone number and i need to block it
Im on 2.8.7.0 twrp, ph1 firmware, ill try again. Dont understand, maybe its just taking longer then most. So it is supposed to sit on the samsung splash screen?

Same thing happened to me using Darklord kernel, tried the other kernel and would get to samsung screen and just sit, i left it alone for 40 min. Had to pull battery to shut it off, glad to know its not just me. It was driving me nuts especially after watching the video and knew i did it right.
Guys i figured out it was bad coding in the build prop i have fixed and retested on 2 different note 3s its working now im re-uploading the rom. I apologize for all the inconvenience @spaceshipunicorn @binaryimage
