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.

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

If you don't know how to flash it, then it's best for you to not even try.
It's an ALPHA (or even before an alpha) made from SDK image ported (quickly) to the Nexus One.
This means a lot of things are not working, it's not stable and can not be used as "main rom".
Just wait, "usable" ICS roms will come but now it's just too soon.
I asked him in a twitter. Here is answer:
Too many things to list that's not working. Here's what's working: touchscreen, hard buttons, battery indicator, accelerometer.

Looking for devs to help in modifying gralloc.qsd8k.so to work in ICS. Please post below if ou can help.
The first problem is making a hwcomposer.qsdk8.so for Nexus One, this enables the hardware acceleration, needed for ICS.
I don't know, but I think it's actually possible without ICS source code
Just search for "hwcomposer android" on google

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.

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...

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.

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:

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!

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
AROMA Installer
Google Now
Lux Auto-brightness
Opensource Sensors library (more accurate and faster)
Holo/Jellybean inspired styling
Apex/GS3/GS2 Launcher
GS2/GS3 Music application
Easy-Update
Samsung Dive
Complete development cycle
Directions:

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.

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.

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

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.

well to get straight to the point here's a quick patch for those that are having issues with the circle button acting as back button. This patch is also known as the ALT Modifier fix. Also added, the R button should be to take a picture ONLY when in camera mode! it will NOT call the camera app.
I think this patch may be already out their I think for ICS this one is for GB. I have only tested this on Stock based & turbo miui GE ROMS but i think it should work on CM based as well (if someone can confirm that will be nice) download the flashable ZIP file in the attachments. I also maid my installer look a little better
great work.:good:

it might work on ics+ but im not entirely sure, that would depend on how much code has been changed and also i dont think this zip is KK flashable. I also dont have a play anymore to test it, unfortunately all i can say is make sure to do ful backup and try flashing it.
I am fairly new to the Android scene, and even newer to the rooting scene as well.
I am a A+ computer tech, that said I know nothing about Android, rooting or customizing the interface and am learning daily, I have been told by associates that the xda forums are the best resource for finding stable usable custom ROMs and information,
so I enrolled to pick some brains and hopefully learn a few things.
now since my ability to search forums has always has always been "top notch", (Pinocchio's nose got nothing on me by that statement), I'm sure I'll be asking questions that have been asked a bunch of times, I respectfully ask that in stead of flaming me, please just post a link to the proper forum post and I will be greatly appreciative.
question 1.
where do I find a rom install guide for idiots, primarily for a galaxy player 5.0 YP-G70
question 2.
what is the most stable and fully functional ROM for my YP-G70, when I say fully functional I mean camera and all, as I have been reading there are issues with newer ROMs with the back facing camera, and I need the camera to be fully functional as I use it almost daily at work for lables and assembly/disassemby pictures., I've heard that Cyanogenmod is one of the best out there, is there a fully functional and stable version that will work with my YP-G70?
question 3.

there will always be more questions but I won't push the noob envelope to much, these three are my most pressing

I'm running CyanogenMod 10.2 (4.3.1) and I'm able to use the back camera via High-Speed Camera (there are probably other apps, but this is the one I'm using). I don't know if it works with the other ROMs (and I don't see why it wouldn't), so someone else will have to get back to you w/that one.

The short answer here is stick with stock. The rear facing camera has been a problem on every ROM, except stock based roms. There are some workarounds but If you need good quality photos from rear cam then stock based is your only solution...
Thank you both for the info and direction.
I know to keep something stock is to keep it original.... but what do you mean stock based? an original ROM that has been stripped but the core and drivers are the same?
and what stock based ROM would you recommend for my GP5.0 yp-g70 that might give me a little better performance and nice appearance?
also I haven't had a chance to explore all the information yet, but can someone give me a link to a good source of direction on how to use titanium backup, or some other app to back up my device, OS and apps so if I should get something not to my likeing I can revert back to original.
and thanks again for no flaming

Scroll down to "5.0 (stock based)"
"Stock based" simply means a modified stock ROM. "stock" sort of meaning; a ROM from the manufacturer. I haven't personally tried any of the stock based ROMS. They may have issues. Im only saying that it is the stock and stock based ROMS that have the potential to have a fully working rear cam. You have to read in each post to find out if there are issues.
