I am a little new on this whole development stuff, but I was curious if cyanogenmod 9 will be available to the 4.0 galaxy player. I have researched ice cream sandwich and it does indeed, look very interesting and it looks like it has some very nice features. If someone could give me a answer, that would be great I have a completely stock US version Galaxy Player 4.0. I know it would require root, and I am willing to if i need to.

Thanks, but i just tried to flash steves kernal using ODIN, and im pretty sure i accidently opened the TAR using notepad instead of 7zip. Now all i see is a hazard symbol with a phone and computer on either side? What does this mean?
Thanks.

I'm seriously thinking of buying the 5" version of the media player BUT I noticed it comes with FROYO?? Has there been any official upgrade OR some kind of stable ROM for it? A simple response and maybe a point in the right direction for the ROM would be AWESOME and much appreciated. THANKS!
I just bought one (USA) and it came with gingerbread.

I don't know where you got that information, but the US 5.0 has Gingerbread, and there is a custom ROM as well in the development section of this forum.

No the international/Europe version came with Froyo 2.2 as did mine when i brought it (Uk) but there is now a official update for Gingerbread by Samsung for this device
the USA version came shipped with Gingerbread from day one
I need advice about which galaxy player to buy? The 4.0 looks nice, but maybe I should wait for the 4.2, or get a 5.0? I'm confused.
Either 4.2 will come ready with gingebread but hasnt got much hardware improvements so theyre equal.
Do you think the 4.2 will get ice cream sandwich?

Yes, if you read the other (new) thread about the 4.2 device, you can see that it will be launched with android 2.3
I got the 5.0 because I already have a 4.3" phone.
The 4.0 has a better sound chipset and replacable battery. The 5.0 has a bigger screen and seems to have slightly more developer attention.

Hello Guys,
i opened this Thread, so that the Galaxy Player 5 and 4 don'T share the same thread for ICS.
It's to confusing.
I will also update this Post with the current state of work.
Reserved for future post
Yeah um, ambrice came out with CM7 and tdmcode also came out with CM7 and there are free ics themes on the Play Store that you could use with Theme Chosser, soo..... This isn't really nessacary... Sorry.
No, this is for Galaxy Player 4.0
Not for 5.0
At the moment the ICS Port thread is used for both.
And CM7 is not ICS. On the 4.0 we also have CM7 but thats not the point.
Thanks for your reply.
Using YP-G1
Thanks for the thought but the 4.0 and 5.0 players are similar enough that one thread is really nice, at least for me (I just hope JackpotClavin doesn't get too irritated by me tagging along on his coattails and asking questions). IMO it would be better to have a separate thread for CM7 and CM9.
Also, I have a project on github created for all the ROMs. It will host both CM7 and CM9 for 4.0 and 5.0 players. Assuming all the devs agree, and they all have so far.

You have to be kidding me. You think a them of an OS is just as good as the OS itself. "Check it out guys, with the theme I can run Chrome!! .. nvm"
:facepalm:
Ok i didn't knew. The ROMs are interchangeable between 4 and 5? That means, we only need kernel or? I have eu player, so if I could help. I will help.
Thanks

I originaly made ICS Port thread for the 4.0 (but I didin't specify it because it is only the method of porting it) with the time it became the HQ for ICS port to both galaxy players. (4.0 and 5.0)
But it the screenshots of the post it displayed a 5.0?

Well just because it contains a screenshot for the 5.0 (and it wasn't even me) dosen't mean the thread is for the 5.0.

Not ready yet. Wait some time
Could we have an update on the port? I am really excited to see a alpha or beta version.
I got the Galaxy player 4.0 yesterday and it got rooted using this toolkit (DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0]) no problem .
This morning I found out about the 4.2 model so I returned the 4.0 (unrooted smoothly!) and got myself a 4.2.
I just got done trying to root it using the toolkit and it did not work. According to SamSung, the 4.2 runs the same version of Android (2.3.5) as the 4.0 but apparently whatever tweak they got on the 4.2 is preventing it from being rooted using the same method.
Anyone has any idea what I might try next to get it rooted?
Thanks!
this is Q&A not development
moved to general - this isn't development
same problem
hey i am going to get the 4.2 because it looks really nice but when i get it i want to root it right away and get 4.0 fresh on it. I know it just came out 5 days ago but is there no way to get it rooted?

By 4.0 you mean?
android 4.0 ics. i was assuming that there could/would be a rom made with 4.0 on it. either way, can it at least be rooted on 2.3.5?

Actually it is running 2.3.6 and so far from what I have read, it is much harder to root due to the exploit that was used on the 2.3.5 or earlier has been patched.
I guess we'll just have to wait one of the developers come up with something for this player.
I might just end up returning this player and get an used Galaxy Skyrocket and use that for a media player. It has more storage (16GB), slightly bigger screen (4.5"), better camera and of course LTE when I need to use it as a backup phone.
K I got it now and there is no other page with any information on rooting the4.2 so if a developer sees this could you please start looking into rotting the 4.2
I just talked to a rep from Samsung and she said they have started development on android 4.0 for the 4.2!

Can someone port an ICS/JB ROM onto the Galaxy Player 4.2 (YP-GI1)? I really want to update my software, the 4.0/5.0 both have ICS on it and it would be great if my device could have it too, Thanks!
Development is still small. You are going to have to wait because I believe no one hasn't build a custom rom yet.

ICS porting worked chronologically:
The SGP 5.0 was the first to have working ICS ports and it took months before the Bluetooth bug was fixed.
Several months after 5.0 ports stabilized, some developers ported it to the SGP 4.0.
I suspect it worked this way, because there are a larger number of SGP 5.0 owners, hence leading to more output.
And, if my suspicions are correct, then it is going to be a very long while before the SGP 4.2/3.6 see any ports respectively, as I suspect that the number of people who own those devices is smaller yet.
It is feasible, but that would mean that a lot of our devs here who have done successful ports to the 4.0/5.0 would need their own SGP 4.2/3.6 to test their builds and ports on. And, I just don't see them spending money on an already under-supported device.
But, who knows? Crazier things have happened here on the SGP forums.
Is anyone working on this device? I have seen someone on the CyanogenMod Forums say that they have ICS on it but it's very unstable. Of course I can't believe that... But people got a root working using Odin3. If there is any developer that has this device and seeing this post, please.. reply! Thanks

Being rooted is a state of existence. You can add it or take it away at your disposal. Being rooted just means that you have the Super User binaries installed on your device. You un-root by uninstalling those binaries. Flashing a ROM with or without root simply means that the ROM you flashed has or doesn't have those binaries.
So, if you flash a rooted ROM over your currently rooted ROM, that's OK. That simply means you have older or newer binaries on your device. (And, yes. You can update Super User binaries.)
there is a rooted gingerbread stock rom, but I believe the dev that made it doesn't even have a 4.2 and had to rely on others to test it, even the 4.0 has a very small number of devs on it, and half the ones we've had in the past have moved on to newer devices. I doubt there will be any ICS/JB goodness for the 4.2 simply because there are no devs that actually own one, atleast as far as users on here go, maybe some guy somewhere might be working on it but they sure aren't here.
Yeah I used that exact ROM anyway to get the rooted gingerbread ROM but thanks anyway

Does anybody know when developers might actually try a ROM for this device?
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to a download link for the best and most complete and rooted Gingerbread ROM for the Samsung Galaxy 5.0 Player.
The one I am using was one that I believe someone used Superclick and repackaged from the stock Gingerbread OS that originally came with the device. It appears to me that it has some stability issues since it gets stuck with access files and will not boot up. I use clockword mod to restore from a good backup. As far as I can tell, the data area is where the problem is, but I can't get anymore granular than that. If I reboot half a dozen times, one of the boots will work correctly. The device will exhibit no problems whatsoever until the next power off/on.When that happens, I get frozen at the click to unlock screen.
I'd like to use Clockwork Mod to install the latest and greatest rooted Gingerbread ROM and hopefully this "corruption" issue will be resolved...maybe.
I'm also open to any other ideas.

You could try Chip v1.5. I used it for a while before i switched to cm10 and it seemed really stable to me.

No, I'm pretty sure R.E.D.D is only for the SGP 4.0 (YP-G1) at this time.
I think iJimaniac released a test build for the 5.0 in the middle of the thread somewhere.
