Why is development so small for the yp gi1 (gp 4.2) ?

Not sure, but I'm guessing it's because since the YP-G70 (SGP 5.0) came out, the 4.2 got old. Well, the YP-G70 is already pretty old anyways, so that would make the Galaxy Player 4.2 even older.

Player 4.0&5.0 = Exynos 3110 CPU = better performance && possibility of sharing platform and codes with Galaxy S series = nice development
Player 3.6&4.2 = OMAP3 CPU = worse performance && few platforms to share with = few development
And isn't 5.0 out before 4.2?

I know but it really confuses me how the gp 4.0, 5.0 and 3.6 has cm11 or at least a kitkat port and the gp 3.6 has similar cpu to the gp 4.2 but yet we have no kitkat port

I pretty sure some devs are working on it. All we can do is wait.

Not to be a spoke in your wheel, but the 4.2 does not have any active development going on...and I'n not expecting it in the near future either. Sorry guys, but the 4.2 is a lost cause

That just might be true but i can try to do something if i can figure out how to build a cwm 6 recovery for our device
Just found some git sources for the 4.2 it is a kernel modified for booting android 4.4.x ( all credits to @Androthan ) if someone could compile it and post the compiled files that would be great
link to source: https://github.com/androthan/android_kernel_samsung_hugo_legacy

Well I can compile it, but compiling it would get you nowhere because for cm11, you need the uncompiled sources to build...also the kernel is not tested, and there's no guarantee it'll work.

Dude I'm not building cm 11 YET i'm just trying to build the KERNEL because for the gp 4.2 the recovery is built in the kernel (i will try to add cwm 6+) and if this kernel is compiled i can boot any 4.4.x build that i make even if it does not not work i can make another build because our kernel is not built for booting kitkat.
can you please compile it and post the compiled files i always have problems compiling it in Kali Linux

IDK he said there was no current development right now and he's not expecting any development ,so i guessed that meant him too.
I just lost all hope in our player no cm 9, 10, 11 just an incomplete cm 7 build
face it dude there is no hope

Well it is not dead. I've had some personal problems for the past couple of months, mainly exams, but I've got a couple weeks holiday from the 22nd, so I plan on giving the last update within that time.
But I have been developing for it, bit by bit.
For example, I got the ICS lockscreen working, I fixed the bugs of the Tile status bar and also ported Swipe to Kill Recent Apps, which will all be included in the update.
When I said no active development, I meant development to port other versions of android, like cm.

Thanks for the info. I was satisfied with holofrenzy as it is lol. But an update would be awesome. Thanks again drakonizer for being one of the few(or only one) that continues to support the 4.2.
