Yes, but I didn't read the changelog in the first post as there were release notes in stratosk's post in which he announced 2.5bm. In this post the breaking of front camera capturing was not mentioned (only while recording video).

Thanks for the clarification.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
No problem, stratosk forgot to add this front cam function limitation first in his post, now it's allso in the changelog on first post!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EseLoKo:
Well, first night after flashing and everything is perfect.

No reboots like happen in beta version, and now with a little UV.

This is the kernel with the best performance I proved.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mash_ns:
Work's well with xxjvu. Boot is much faster then stock..

Thank's !

Hi !

I use Semaphore since few months and i'm verry happy with this kernel. But i still dont understand whats the difference with big memory versions.

I always take the normal one. Somebody can try to explain me what's the difference with b.m ones ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Christophe86:
bm versions - big mem - give you more memory avaible to use at the sacrifice of recording video at 720p. it's up to the user to decide: if you never make use of the recording feature, then i recommend using bm versions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Hi,

With the normal version you have 337MB available ram.

With the bigmem version you have 353MB available ram but without 720p video recording, photo capture in video recording (only in JVU) and taking photos from front camera (only in JVU)

So, it's a matter of available memory.

I have just finished flashing to DarkyROM 10.4.2 and came back to Semaphore 2.4.0 Kernel from the default DarkCore 4.2.1 Kernel due to some widgets problem with GO Launcher EX.

May I know if just a normal reboot is good enough or must i do other steps (which I read in previous post that clearing dalvik and system cache?)?

Lastly can I use Semaphore 2.5.0 on this ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fredbull:
Ok thanks :)

So no impact for the battery with big memory ?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Is it possible to boot in recovery. Then reboot normal and send me the file /cache/recovery/last_log (if it is there). Also, are you familiar with adb?

If yes, please send the output of the mount command (from an adb shell).

A normal reboot should work. Also, it should work with Darky, since it's a GB rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fredbull:
I'm on JVU and still with Semaphore 2.4.0.

For moment i never touch something with ext4. So normally,if i upgrade to 2.5.0 i will find no one bug with recovery or something else, right ?

Thanks :)

BLN is working?

Hi there... I'm using the new update JVU stock rom, with Semaphore 2.5.0, but BLN function doesn't work with any notification. It seems (using BLN test) that this kernel doesn't support BLN function. Is that right?

In the features BLN is mentioned. Is it possible to get it works?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tkbf:
You need to read OP carefully.

Semaphore do support BLN for sure.

What did you mean using BLN test? The app required to let BLN work is BLN Control.

=============

GT-i9000 / 2.3.6 JVU / Semaphore 2.5.0bm
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dan_Aykroyd:
BLN Test is another of neldar's app to test the LEDs.

To the previous poster, you need to install BLN control, then enabled BLN there too and afterwards test the leds if you want (you can also trigger a led notification from BLN control to test).

ondemand40 results

Hi stratosk!

Do you have any info or "results" from your tests and investigation when implementing this on how much battery (percentage or something) might be save by using ondemand40 vs ondemand, how much better in performance is ondemand vs ondemand40, etc.?

I ask only to make my mind and decide which one to use :)

By the way, ondemand40 is a duplicate of the ondemand with a different sampling rate, or has ondemand some other tweaks and optimizations and ondemand40 doesn't has? (I ask this because I know that ondemand is the governor u worked - and use :D - the most)

Thanks!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] karmarco:
Sorry it was my mistakes, you're right! I haven't enabled the BLN with BLN control correctly and so with BLN test app I have read

BLN enabled: false

misunderstanding this information with the info "isBlnKernel"... (that is true)

Now everything is right!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Coolgreek:
About what ondemand 40 is:

That means a ondemand 40 is a bit less responsive (takes a bit longer to change cpu frequencies) but also saves some battery. Truth is that the difference between them is not so noticeable in performance (i do not notice any difference:p) so i do not expect any noticeable difference in battery life either!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HM.Carbide:
I made the ondemand40, because i noticed, that the nexus live wallpaper suddenly used 50% 1000mhz and 50% 100mhz, since samplerate was changed from 40000 to 10000 instead of 100% 100mhz (measured with cpu spy).

I have no longterm test for the difference, because too many things changed in the last weeks on my phone, but as always, no wonder will happen. Even, if the difference would be 10%, we talk about 15-30 minutes more displaytime

So until now i tested increasing samplerate, as long as i felt phone is still snappy. I landed at 40000.

I have some cpu spy tests, like live wall paper, google navigation, xda app, browser and so on.

So if you really save battery depends on your phone usage.

Also, if you feel, that it is snappy enough for you.

cwm again

Hi Stratosk,

two observations of today:

1. when i try to flash two packages in cwm in a row without rebooting in between, then the second package does not get installed although there was no error message. this e.g. happens when installing mods or themes. can you replicate this?

2. when i format partitions system and data in cwm and then try to restore back a previous backup, it errors during restore of datadata. when i then restart cwm and do again, it works. any view on that?

Apart from that all good with 2.5.0 on my side.

Thank you

Andi

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Don't worry, I will do it soon. :)

@AndiP

I will try to reproduce this tomorrow. I'm sorry, too tired today.

re sy strato!

i have a question

has anybody tried to convert the file system using the chainfire ext4 app(i dont know anyother way doing that) to ext4? is this app compatible to cwm 5.0.27 version?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
Should work, at least for me it did and i think stratosk spent some time to ensure that it works! ;) But to be safe as always make a backup!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sirbrian:
I am now on Semaphore 2.4.0. Although I have solve the "windget loading problem" (when I was using DarkCore afer flashing to this ROM) I realise that Go Launcher is always restarting/redraw itself after I exit from an app and return to launcher, despite I have already selecting "prevent force close" in Go Launcher.

Is this the ROM / Kernel problem?

Should I flash the Kernel to 2.5.0?

Lastly again, anyone can recommend a good/better modem for Singapore region?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] edwinlim9310:
I'm having the same problem too! Probably because the phone is out of memory after exit from a app which too up enormous memory like games.

I'm from Singapore as well, using ZSJPE currently. Looks pretty good but I'm using prepaid and not 3G, so I arent sure if it will work well under 3G condition. I was thinking of trying out ZSJV5 or maybe back to using the local one, DXJV9?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] edwinlim9310:
How do you do this "thunderscript LMK supercharger" thing? I'm on Jetpack v8.1, I believe the thunderbolt scripts have been integrated already. Anyway, my semaphore LMK is on default, in fact, I did not change anything from the app itself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] keuda:
Supercharger its an addon, dunno what that ROM has, but read picachu thunderscript thread and there you have several LMK scripts, depends on how many RAM you want the system keep free. Un thunderscript thread you hace all the instruccions needed. The part you are interested its the supercharger script or LMK addon others, its the same.

Hi Stratosk,

you can replicate the issue for instance with my themes:

a) Go in CWM

b) Flash the green theme first (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19719719/Bo...anel+TranspDialerContacts+DisScrollCache).zip)

c) Do not leave CWM but now directly flash the blue theme (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19719719/Bo...PanelTranspDialerContacts+DisScrollCache).zip)

d) Reboot

You will see, the green theme will come up instead of the blue one.

This is just an example, I can replicate it with other zips as well.

Thanks for investigating.

The launcher refreshing/restarting after exiting a heavy game is normal!!!!

It's to make sure that your heavy game plays smooth without the launcher in the background eating up memory that your heavy game needs when it is heavily drawing into the processor.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sw2rT1:
Hi Stratosk,

The one error appears in the CWM

1) Go in CWM

2) go to mounts & restore

3) push to "format /sdcard"

4) and nothing. sdcard is not cleared/erased

Only I have this problem or is touched by someone else?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vd69:
I 'd like to tell about 2 observations .

1)Concerning the problem with call recording i thing its because of voodoo sound.

2)Also when i try to apply rules in droidwall it hangs up for 2-3 minutes.Did not have the same problem with semaphore 2.4.0sc.

Thanks for evetything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Brignoud:
Hi,

using both Sempahore kernel and your beautiful theme mods Andy

I flashed directly 2.02 and add on toggle without rebooting and it goes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
About the second issue. Did you try to enable netfilter from Semaphore application before using droidwall?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andip71:
Hmmmm. This is so weird. I can replicate every time I try.

Ok, will try again soon as I just release 2.0.3 theme.

Somehow we will find this phantom, I am sure

Thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vd69:
Yes I did ,but sometimes it force close and others takes 2minutes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
I just reproduce this. Very weird. I will investigate it and let you know.

I installed droidwall and applied some rules without a problem. Did you try a reboot maybe?

Can you please send me the output of the lsmod command in an adb shell?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hackeron:
Isnt it known that you have to reboot between theme flashes?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elhennig:
Droidwall FCs if you scroll too fast through the app list and the icons are not refreshed fast enough. That's my experience with droidwall.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andip71:
Hi hackeron,

well, not neccessarily.

As for my themes I know I can flash the main theme and add-ons for instance in a row without rebooting (i know the internals, so I am sure).

And it worked fine with 2.4.0.

But now the second flash just does not touch any file at all until I reboot even CWM only. Strange.

So, it should be possible. But Stratosk can replicate this now, so the explanation is near :)

Andi
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
The explanation is in /cache/recovery/last_log. :)

The mount command in the updater-script (/sbin/busybox mount) is never executed correctly.

The first time you flash the green theme, the /system is already mounted by recovery. So, the updater script copies the files without an error. At the end of the script the /system is unmounted.

Then when you try to flash the blue theme the /system is unmounted and the coping fails.

If you change the mount command to:

run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system");

then your problem will be solved (unfortunately, I don't know if this will work on other kernels)

With this command the mounting will be handled by the '/sbin/mount' script correctly for both ext4 and rfs partitions without problem.

BTW: I think I will keep the green one. ;) Thank you for the mod.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] trepamuros:

Thanks,
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andip71:
EDIT: Stratosk, did you change anything on Busybox from 2.4.0 to 2.5.0? Just a thought...

Many thanks for this explanation, Stratosk.

It is just weird because even UOT kitchen is using the same mount commands, and it was working fine still with 2.4.0.

But ok, this gives me enough input to continue investigation on how to make that better.

Many many thanks. Unfortunately I ran out of my Thanks today, so I cannot do this currently.

Also nice to hear you like the theme, although it was not my intention to convince you about something :-)

I will let you know once I find out more on the mounting stuff.

Have a nice evening

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vd69:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Actually busybox changed from version 1.16.2 to 1.19.3. But, I think the change is in the mounting in recovery. Mialwe found a way to mount the partitions. Maybe this the difference between 2.4.0 and 2.5.0.

If you want you may try the lsmod from terminal emulator application. Running the lsmod you will see a list of the modules loaded. If you run the command before enabling netfilter you'll see about 15 modules. After enabling netfilter you'll see about 50. This is just to check that the netfilter is loaded.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Thank you for thanking me for him. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:

As far as I see it, TB only gives a warning about the wrong permissions. This warning can be switched off in TB's preferences.

In any case, you can also let TB "fix" it and it won't prompt anymore.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andip71:
Well, I realized 99% of all flashable zip files out there will have the same issue with Semaphore 2.5.0 now. Although most of the time people do not flash more than one zip in a row in CWM, so most people will never come across it.

Anyway: I can only recommend everyone creating zips to put a second mount line into the script to cover for that. Not an extremely nice workaround, but it works :D

Andi
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
You mean to be able to take pictures with frontcam? I think not, stratosk had a poll for that and it looks like that more people would rather like to have more ram than having this. (http://semaphore.gr/component/acepo...e-during-video-recording-feature-3mb-less-ram) Fixing the taking picture during video recording functionality would include the fix for frontcamera functionality but it leads to less free ram. If you want to use it you will have to use the non-bigmem versions (337mb free ram). ;)

I installed multible CWM's in a row during installation of thunderbolt! on semaphore 2.5.0 and that worked as expected, but i have to say that thunderbolt-CWM-scripts don't mount any partitions you have to do it manual before installation, so i think this workarounds the problem in case of thunderbolt!
