Hi all,
I managed to port CWM to Galaxy player 4.0 (EU version - not for usa or KR). But I want your feedback to check if all works as it should.
Whats included:
-Voodoo Sound v10 (you need to install Voodoo Control or Voodoo Control Plus)
-CWM recovery 3.0.0.5 (with working su adb shell, usb mount storage, flash updates zip,...)
-Works on XXKPN or XXKPQ roms (or alternatively my custom rom)
-ROM Manager app is not supported: only reboot to recovery function works: don't try to update recovery from rom manager or to flash a rom from rom manager app
Here's the download link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9TXANJ6S
Please post your experiences (positive and negative) to help development. Thanks!
omg thank you....i have been waiting for CWM for a really long time.....i will give it a try...report to you later
Steve how is clockwork working on the 4 but not the 5. i dont see how its possible that they are even 1 tiny bit different aside from screen size.
have you tested CWM on the 5.0 and know that it does not work?
i would love to know your method for making it work on the 4.

They are maybe a little bit different on the hardware but on the software they are different. (very different.)

i have read that here, but not sure exactly how.
odd how Sammy made them so software different.
but i guess 2 galaxy 1 devices are not the same, but then again those are carrier specific also.
grrr damn it i want CWM on the 5.0

I have tried the kernel (not the new version) CWM work nicely (I was able to do a backup of my rom )
Clockwork worked fine but I did not know which device to select so I chose the I9000 and now the widgets and apps are messed up. Widgets do not show up, the apps "cannot be found" and the apps were shown with a box with the android in it. Luckily I was able to flash back to my stock ROM with no problems, but end up in losing my data -_-.

I haven't tested on the 5 because I down't have it and sorry but I don't develop kernels for devices I don't own... it will result in bricking your device instead of mine...
I don't think it will difficult anyways... For the 4.0 I used a version of CWM for stiock SGS i9000 as the devices partition and structure is exactly the same.

Obviously ROM manager is not supported apart from the reboot to recovery function. You flashed a i9000 rom on a different device, you are lucky you not bricked your device
Voodoo Control
Ok guys, i succeed to flashing my yp-g1 to this Kernel after flashing the ROM from STeVe from another thread in this forum. I think this rom and kernel work nice enough and my quadrant score is 1420 - 1524, even 1600++, if i run quadrant twice sequentially. Not bad improvement because my quadrant score before about 1408 (2.3.5 Gingerbread).
everything works : Wifi, Camera, FM Radio, Bluetooth, GPS, Voodoo Control (i install this my self), Animation, etc
Notification Area is not clean enough since STeVe write "STeVe's Galaxy Player" on this area.. after i see that, i feel that my yp-g1 is not mine, because there is your name (seriously, literally).
Overall : Nice Job STeVe .... Since it's the first and the only one Custom Rom for Galaxy S WIFI 4.0 until now.
Thank you.

Hello steve, I just wanted to let you know that I tried to flash the kernel on the us version and the only thing not working is the home button obviously. I'm LOVING voodoo sound, the sound is crystal clear now and the hiss basically disappeared!! so first of all thank you,second I was wondering if you could help me understand what to do to use your code while using the driver for the us version buttons...if that's what it is... I'm sorry I have zero knowledge about kernels but I know my way around basic linux(i manage web servers) ..it just seems pretty easy to me unexpert eyes to make it work if its just the buttons. Or if you want to do it I'll be glad to test it for you since I can reflash the stock rom so no bricking risks!

Well, it simply adds read and write support for Right-To-Left languages such as Hebrew and Arabic.
How to
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Prerequisites
Make sure you have KIES installed from Samsung's website.
Open Dialer and dial *#*#1234#*#*
Make sure PDA ends with UCKH7
Download the good stuff
Only if you've met all the prerequisites, you may download and continue.
http://www.multiupload.com/VLIK26JUL1
Mirror: https://rapidshare.com/files/3257319546/KH7-ARABIC-EXTRACT-ME.zip
Now, extract the contents to your desktop. You should have two files in there:
KH7-RTL-ARABIC-by-madmack-PDA.tar.md5
ODIN3 v.1.82.exe
Download mode
Put your device in download mode:
Shut down your phone completely. "Now hold down on both the Up and Down Volume buttons and plug the USB coming from your PC into your SGS2. Once you see a warning screen let go of the volume buttons. Hit the Up Volume button to continue into download mode." - Taken from the Q&A Thread
Flashing procedure
Fire up ODIN3 v.1.82.exe from the files that you extracted.
Your device should be detected and a yellow rectangle should appear in this window with COM written in it. (If this did not happen, you need to verify that you have installed the drivers via KIES. Go back to the prerequisites).
Put file KH7-RTL-ARABIC-by-madmack-PDA.tar.md5 that you extracted in the PDA slot. Then hit Start
Wait until it's done. Your device should automatically reboot.
Congratulations. Your device should be able to read and write RTL languages now.
To write in an RTL language, I highly recommend downloading Smart Keyboard Pro from the market. You can enable your language there.
Changes from stock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Rooted.
Deodexed, zipaligned, pngoptimized.
RTL support throughout the entire framework.
Nothing else is changed. Stock kernel, CSC are kept intact. (You shouldn't get a yellow triangle either)
Troubleshooting
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If for any reason your device gets stuck after rebooting. Try to factory reset the device by going into Recovery Mode (Pull the battery out of your phone to ensure it is completely off. Now hold down the Volume Up and Down buttons then hit the Power Button. Once you see the Galaxy S2 screen release the power button and Volume buttons.) and reboot.
If you still have issues. Then I recommend returning the phone back to stock using Entropy512's UCKH7 stock rooted package.
I don't own the device myself. My brother (a noob mind you ) bought that device recently and wanted to get RTL support badly on it so I thought I should share that with the rest of you. He has tested the procedure and confirmed it working.
Dose anybody try this rom yet?
it does all this AND roots your phone?
sounds amazing.
no confirmation of the thing working yet.
I have no reason to believe that it wouldn't though. Would be great if any of you that tried it give us a little feedback here
I'm attempting to try it, still afraid that i will need to do factory default and start download again all my apps.
all right guys. just had word from my brother that its working just fine.
he didn't lose any of his data and he now has RTL support.
OK.
Did it.
Working great, the RTL working perfect as a like it.
No problem after half day of regular working with almost every app that i'm using.
Thanks allot.
madmack
any chance that you are going to improve and add functionality to this ROM?

thanks for the confirmation.
i don't intend on releasing anything after this initial release mainly because I don't own the device myself and secondly because I already do work on the international variant and releasing ROMs isn't really my thing. I release them for the international variant because it's what I do with my own device with every rom release and all I do is share it
perhaps when icecream sandwich is released but no plans at the moment.
i want this to be a simple way for folks who bought the at&t sgs2 to get rtl support on it without the hassle.
Hello again
can i use in your rom one of the bat mod that published here:

yes you can.
you can generally flash any mods except the ones that modify framework.jar. this one in particular replaces SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk (you can find which files by looking into the zip file).
you'll need cwm though, which means you'll have to flash a custom kernel which is also fine
More updates:
After several days of intensive use The rom is working without any major problems.
The only thing right now that not working RTL is the stock email that I'm using to sync with my exchange server.

I'm not sure if you can actually update to the OTA with my rom. it'll probably fail because you have root here. I recommend flashing any custom deodexed rom available here for your device that has CWM recovery. Then follow the steps on my blog to get RTL support in it:
http://blog.devasque.com
I'm no longer supporting the AT&T SGS2 with fully built roms given that I actually don't have the device and it's hard to maintain devices across the board. I only did that once to help my brother
if you follow the steps outlined in my blog though, it should work without any issue whatsoever. after all, it's what i did with this rom here.
Thanks allot.
Your help is very welcome.
I will try your patch on my skyrocket in the next few days.
i have this mod on my stock and it works perfectly.
now i decided to have a rom so i chose the SHOstock.
the question is, do you know how can i flash this on SHOstock?? because i did it the classic way and it flagged the SHOstock rom!

WTF??? A quick Google of SPH-D700 shows that to be the Samsung Epic 4G, which is a Sprint phone. The I9100 is a GSM phone. Sprint is a CDMA network. I hope you're planning on changing carriers if you hope to use the I9100.
Unless you're just confused, and actually ordered a Sprint variant of the Galaxy SII, which is the SPH-D710, or as they call it, the Epic 4G Touch.
Just so I'm clear, the I9100 will NOT work on Sprint's network.

Hey, I had to check. Some folks just make uninformed decisions and are baffled when the equipment they order doesn't work on their network.
LP6 with my GPS fix works pretty damn well. FM Radio is the only real issue I have encountered. If you want a more ICS experience, push trebuchet or NOVA launcher to /system/app and it will be much better.

It's so popular it's one of those phones - like Desire HD - that's known inside and out Been out in europe for ages, but the US had better carrier specific devices, faster CPUs, etc. At it's core the same device mind.
I was in no rush for ICS but tried WanamLite and all was fine, although the launcher freezes now and then which I put down to a full phone, and an early rom.
This used the CM9 trebuchet launcher. I've got to say almost everything about ICS is cleaner, faster, smoother than previous roms - custom or not. Easy task control, nice display, and little things I still keep discovering like when you connect via USB you get a choice of media device or camera (with the usual USB development option off).
I've had this thing months and must have flashed 50+ roms lol. In the end I stuck with Leomars then the combined Leomar/Checkrom HD because of the kitchen app for easy addons and upgrades.
If youve never used a samsung dont worry, its usually a simple app that will root it and install a recovery console <- very important, cause after that you can flash anything, and as long as you get back to recovery youll be fine. Backup often - complete rom via the recovery (power on, vol down) and a data/app backup with Titanium.
I don't think you need worry about ADB or odin anymore, but if you do just follow instructions on this site...
Your reward? the best phone around esp if the rom you use adds neat things like Jkays extensions, modded apps, kitchens, good theme engine, etc. For pure Android go for AOSP roms, otherwise they're a mish mash of parts.
Change the boot anim if you want, you might get a yellow warning triangle because the sammy knows the roms "illegitimate" but its easily removed.
Finally, should you need to, the stock roms and kernels and modems are here too if you need to get everything back to default, best get them quick as the download sites are dissapearing, or rip yours first before you burn another...
Have fun! You couldn't pick a better handset right now

Just FYI. Bold/Italic/Underlined part is not exactly true. Some of the US carrier specific models have completely different hardware, and have faster clock speeds because they use inferior CPUs.

From what I can tell, you need the insecure KJ2 kernel. That kernel is no longer directly linked on Odia's insecure kernel page, but there's a link to his Hotfile upload site where all older kernels are stored.

Hi guys..
Two days ago, I made a wipe of the internal storage of my Galaxy 2. I don't know why after it, I lost a pone capabilities like, listen my phone calls. Actually, the phone is working as well as I like but, when I try to make any phone call, no sound on it.
Before the wipe, no problema was reported. It's not the first time I made a wipe. Ocasionally, I practice it to help the phone to work soft.
I don;t know if have to visit a technical support to check the internal parts like soung buttons controls or internal speaker.
Sorry for my English and thanks in advance for any help.
Is it able to play any kind of sound from its speaker ?
If it can then the speaker is all right
You can try reflashing the ROM.

Because you were hellraising, remember that the 9100 Samsung roms will flash one of their modems in place of whatever you had installed, so you'll need to flash one of our modems after you've flashed the ported Sammy rom. So it makes sense that ShoStock would have fixed that.
The AOSP roms won't replace the modem.
Don't know if that was your problem, but there it is.

EDIT: I took the different way out and backed up the stock rom from another Admire 2 and reflashed, now everything works.
JustinK116 said:
ok, so I was messing around with my galaxy admire 2, and I accidentally soft bricked it. I've looked around on the forums, and got a ROM that is not completely compatible with this generation of Admire 2 I have.
Here are the Baseband and Build Number / Hardware version / Model
Model: SCH-R830C
Baseband: R830CVV(AMI4)
Build: JZO54K.R830CVV(AMG1)
Hardware version: R830C.03
The parenthesis and colored area of Baseband and Build numbers are the things I found are different, my mom has this same exact phone and her build number ends with AMI4 just like her baseband, Which is the STOCK from the Cricket store. I cannot find this rom and I don't want to root her phone in order to copy the rom.
Really the only problem with this rom I installed is that it is amg1, and not ami4, so it is not completely compatible. Example: My Wifi, and Bluetooth no longer turn on and cannot function at all. Which is a feature I kind of need.
Here's the real question: Can someone get a real stock rom of this Cricket Galaxy Admire 2. with the build number ending with AMI4 and not AMG1.
I've heard it called "Second generation hardware" or something from another thread, but still cannot find a real stock rom for this phone.
Though I havn't seen many posts with this phone posting the build number, and baseband versions, so the stock rom's that people upload would vary, though they all seem to be the AMG1 version.
I have no idea if this is in the right category or not of the forums, so if it isn't maybe a mod or someone can move it to the right place.

No lol, I downloaded some toolbox to kinda tweak some system stuff, and it got stuck in a boot loop, so I just downloaded whatever Rom I found that would work with this thing.

I can't find any custom roms for this device..
Hi! I am rebel1699. I have done work on the S4 i337 (root for 4.4.2). Recently, I bought an SCH-R960 for something to do. After messing with it for a while, I have discovered that custom roms are indeed possible, but with some things that need work. Here is my current configuration
SlimKat 4.4.4
Philz Touch Recovery
As you may know, the touch recoveries do not respond to touch on this model. However, the vol +/- and power for select still work fine. After getting this ironed out, it was time to experiment. I downloaded SlimKat, and made a few modifications. Booted to recovery and made my nandroid. Then, on to wipes and install. Results---
Upon reboot, I was greeted with the "Warranty bit:kernel" on the top of the sceen. I didnt care. Warranty was long gone anyways. But, it booted into SlimKat just fine. Heres where the dev needs to begin. There is NO TOUCH. I even made a flashable of the stock 4.4.2 kernel modules, but still no help. Not unexpected, considering the recoveries do the same. Using my otg, I connected a mouse for navigation. It is indeed the custom kernel. WiFi, bt, and everything else seem to work fine. I cannot test cellular operation as I am not a US Cellular customer. So, there is another issue. I guess it could be possible to flash a correct radio. Not sure.
First things first---We need touch drivers working on this to go any further. We get that, and sky is the limit.
You probably have to backported the input drivers for your model
Just pull official kernel sources from samsung open modify the drivers of cm kernel

Same as I was thinking. Sound is also out, but I fully expected that to be the case. Pulling the sammy input drivers should also allow for a custom touch recovery to be modified for the device. TWRP 2.7.0.1, preferrably. I will see what I can do over the next few days. Just started using a new laptop, so I have to get the time to sit down and set up a new dev environment. But again, I wont be able to test cellular radio compatibility. I use AT&T, so nno good for that.
Personally, Im buying the i9200 intl for my own use. But ill do what I can to help these US Cellular folks. They have not seen any development at all. Craigslist is littered with this SCH-R960. I understand why.
Why
Why are you saying that the touch recovery's don't work on this model. I flashed philz on mine and used it to gain root. Worked just fine for me!

Because after flashing both philz touch and twrp 2.7.1.0 meliusltexxx recoveries, touch works on neither. The boot image does not contain the touch input drivers for the SCH-R960. Manual navigation is still operable
I guess you only have to enable some options in defconfig

The recoveries, and the roms. All either is lacking are those thing within thier perspective kernels. Roms will still need more work, eg...audio. And as I said, I cannot comment on the celluler end of it since I do not have US Cellular service.
Some of the roms need an edit to thier updater script to install. Others do not. They just have to be checked first. Just edit out anything that call to Format "0". I cant remember the mmcblk #
Any more progress with this? I have a sch-r960 and I would gladly help test roms or do what I can.
Cheers
helpfull

Did you edit the rom updater script before installing?
hmmmmm
not sure what to change other than specific model... it points to /system/xbin/touch, but there is no file there... yet in deodexedf stock rom the updater-script points to /system/bin/touch... which also is not in that zip either. gonna try to compile aosp then pull my touch file from phone i guess..... a bt difficult to find specific info at this point

I would help more, but sadly I do not have the phone anymore. Anything more from me would be no more than wild speculation, lol.

i need idea of what to edit.... just changing model names doesnt seem like it would work... but maybe im wrong... hardware is the same as meliusxx.... so i just dont get it... just gonna experiment i guess.... gonna go in and change all reference i see.... also may try to remove the part that lists the touch... maybe if it isn't flashed the orig firmware i lay over top of will keep driver intact.... i dunno, just gonna keep at it.... cant seem to get help anywhere. at least you responded!!! Thank You for that. /bow
R960 vs I9205
What is the difference. Appear exactly the same in specs. Only difference appears to be the cellular provider. Has anyone tried to flash a I9205 to an R960 Mega 6.3 to see what happens? If so, what was the result??
