[ROM][2.3.6][YP-G70][July25] Chip v1.5 - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Hi all!
This is a compilation of tweaks/themes/mods found around the forums (and elsewhere) cooked together with some of my own modifications and slimmed down into one firmware for the Galaxy Player/Galaxy S WiFi 5.0". Note that much of this is other people's original work. I have linked to sources for a lot of the features in the list. Go thank these developers for their awesome job!
My goals for this firmware are that it should look decent, be slim and fast, and have good battery life. If you have found or developed a tweak or mod that you think will improve this firmware, by all means do suggest it in this thread. However, keep in mind that I cannot work magic, and have used Android for less than a year. Even so, I will try my best to implement feature requests, and to fix all bugs.
This firmware does not include a kernel, so it should support all USA and international devices (and partially the Korean version) as long as you install the correct kernel (by rumirand or Entropy512) for your device. After installing the kernel, reboot into recovery and flash the zip at the top of post 2. I would recommend re-installing the kernel afterwards, just to be safe. Also, when coming from another firmware, you will probably need to "wipe data/factory reset." If you are just upgrading, you should only need to clear cache.

awww lol damn beat me to it. i was working on a rom with the newest KPL firmware a while back but never finished it. i haven't tried yours yet but I would recommend you remove that hosts file IMO. people put hard work and most of all time into their apps and it sucks to not get ad revenue from all that.

True... but there are people (like me) who have no way to pay for the premium apps even if they wanted to. I guess I'll remove it - if people really want it, it's not too hard to put back. (edit: that is, individually)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353903 Can you add this tweaks ? i flash it and it gives me 250 points in Quadrant and much more free ram...i have always about 210mb ram free

I tryed it, its amazing rom but unfortunately it doesn't contains czech language ;(

---

I have tried it ROM is very good. Everything works. But I will probably go back to Eryigit GB-2.3.6 G70ZCKPA because it supports more laguages. If you will find a way to add slovan languages gonna be happy to move to your ROM. Tanks for your job
p.s. I had a feeling that this rom is a little bit slower than the others.

As for me using a ROM in english is not such a big problem, but when you have an ability to use your device in native language its much more pleasant now I am configuring Eryigit rom 2.0 a little bit for myself. This ROM supports czech and russian. Yesturday I installed there a mix of John_2k2 and iJimaniac themes. It needs to be fixed, but it works at least. It looks very similar to this ROM''s ICS theme
maybe in nearest future I will try to add there advanced power menu and another toggle bar. If I will make it I can send it to you, so we can have all good features in native languages. but its a question of struggeling with my lazyness

---

Good idea OP. Could you do me a favour? Could you link me to the STOCK XXKPL download for the international device, I'd like to have a go at customizing. Cheers.
EDIT: Just seen you did, but there's no English version. Damn.

Even though it's for France or Italy, they are exactly the same and both include English

The reason his ROM has support for additional languages is because his is based off of the Chinese stock, while this is based off the European, which is newer. I might be able to add languages by hacking framework-res - I'll see what I can do.

Because each of their keyboards take up about 15mb each, and Hacker's keyboard is much smaller and more customizable, and ICS themed. If you want it to look like Samsung stock, set it to 4 row on portrait and landscape, and GB theme.
Also, it only comes with an English dictionary, but there are more available in the Play Store.

Man... this rom is perfect. ICS feel, with everything such as camera and hwa working fine. I loved it and it has brazilian portuguese. One day using it and battery and everything else ok. Thank you so much.

Swype and Mini Diary will be back in the next version, but only because you asked
CRT animation only works if you have "some animations" or "all animations" set in display settings.
What do you mean by status bar toggles customizable? There's a "Quickpanel Settings" app that can enable/disable and re-order the toggles.

I don't know about a clean install, but on the version I'm uploading now (with Swype and diary) after a reboot with no additional apps installed runs about 180-185 used according to task manager, so about 190-195 free.
