small question. I have JW1 and am on 2.4.0. Can I just install 2.5.0 over it or is 2.5.0 only for JVU?

best kernel so far! compared with speedmod and galaxian.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] krige:
This is has been probably asked a million of times, but what are the suggested kernel settings for best battery life performance?

I'd say the following to start:

+ underclocking to 800MHz

+ Savebattery governor

Anything else? What about the Semaphore Auto Brightness driver? Does it improve battery life if set to normal?

New Version of Semaphore Script Manager :)

Changelog v0.73:

- Improved speed for installing large addons. (packages are not copied to .scripts folder anymore to detect which are installed)

- Miscellaneous (tests) Section now showing correct state.

- Selecting a Temporary Script will disable corresponding Kernel Feature or Addon and vice versa

There are 3 types of Testscripts:

- Runonce Scripts (like Clean BusyBox): test features with only one script

- Temporary Scripts (like oc, uv, ...): test features that also exists as Kernel Feature or Addon

- Permanent Scripts (like enable boot sound or animation): all other features in tests folder

I ran into the same problem now with 2.5.0(bm): Droidwall needs 6 minutes to establish all rules. This only works on the shell, as the app times out quite fast. The time out occures when there are many rules to apply in the script

Modules are correctly loaded.

The script is /data/data/com.googlecode.droidwall.free/app_bin/droidwall.sh. It runs in 6 minutes on 2.5 and in 3.8s on 2.4

I also opened an issue on the project page of droidwall.

http://code.google.com/p/droidwall/issues/detail?id=233

I tried again with 2.4.0bm at the problem is gone. Could this be caused by the busybox upgrade?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Yes, I think the problem is because in busybox 1.19.3 the modprobe command is supported (and I added a symbolic link from /sbin/modprobe to busybox). I just saw that the modprobe look for modules in /system/lib/modules instead of lib/modules.

In 2.4.0 modprobe is not supported and droidwall doesn't try to run it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vd69:
I Agree with u. Net filter is on.Sometimes it applies the rules without fc other times dont apply them but ither way it takes too long.

Also 2.4.0sc feels much faster at least to me.

Hello! First of all I would like to thank the developer for making such an awesome kernal. My phone works smooth and fast...

Thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] keuda:
Do not screenstate over write the sample rate value of ondemand40?. Then no sense to have ondemand40 and screenstate working together, but this shouldn't cause problems or am I wrong?.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pikachu01:
The screenstate_scaling doesn't override ondemand40 at all. It overrides ondemand though.

If ondemand40 is having problems, perhaps ondemand has problems too, just that ThunderBolt!'s settings fixed those problems?

Hi,

Sorry if it's already asked but i still really dont understand something.

I was looking in Semaphore settings and see the Governor settings.

I am really novice with this kind of settings.

Can i really win battery life if i change this one ? Is it possible to find my GS a bit slow or freezed after ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 3d_jc:
The only honest answer is "it depends". All it takes to ruin your batery life is a single poorly written application. If you have one of those, it won't help. If none are present on your phone, yes it will help, depending on your usage patern, but it depends on so many things that you'll have to find what works best for you

I have a question regarding my own phone.

I have installed semaphore 2.5.0 JVU on 1,3 ghz using LMK 60, ondemand, noop and pikachus Thunderbolt script.

I just palyed with SetCPU and found out that "time in state" for 100 Mhz was 0%.

How can that be? In the versions before this never occured. Is there a typical mistake I made?

The only thing that's new compared to versions before is Thunderbolt running too, but even when I deinstall thunderbolt there's still no using of 100 Mhz.

Hope someone can help!

Also, there's now a GB kernel with host USB, stratos perhaps you will give it another try?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darckengel:
It depends of the players.

To know which is better battery friendly, the better way is to use cpu spy, listen music hile screen off for 15mn and check what freqs are most used, you will see what governor uses less power to listen music.

Dear Stratos,

i've enjoyed using your kernel for quite some time now and it is no doubt the best gingerbread kernel out there, and i thank you for that!

However as anybody who has tried one of the early ICS ROMs i'm surely never going back to Gingerbread, and not because newer is better but because ICS is really awesome and the phone is flying, even with all the glitches and stuff.

I do not know if it's really worth it pursuing niche features such as USB host (which is really cumbersome on an unpowered USB port) while the help of one of the best developers would be so valuable for ICS kernels.. :)

Just a thought.

Reagarding how many times this has been asked before I wonder if darkys just removes search functions... :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darckengel:
Actually, the lasts ICS releases are very stable and eligible for daily use, it still have some bugs (as a big issue with media provider), but you can handle it quite easily (just a little annoying sometimes).

The battery usage is good (as long as you don't use 3g...), with normal use, you reach 2 days (2g or wifi always enabled).

I'm also now on ICS, and i have to admit that it would be hard to go back to GB (i did it many times while ICS was not stable, but now that ICS works well...).

So as many, i hope that Stratosk will look at ICS kernel sources soon :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gsw5700:

Sent using TCP/IP
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darckengel:
The main issue is that sometimes media provider duplicates the links for media files (photo/videos/music), and you have to clean the data of mediaprovider.

The second "big" issue is that 3g seems to drain a lot of battery.

Camera, music and videos works well, 3d works well, quadrant have much lower values than with GB with ext4 (but who cares), it's due to cm system files which quadrant don't like. Other benchs are comparable.

I don't have any reboot or freeze issue, all is very smooth.

to me this looks like the partitions are not correctly created.

So the only way I see for you is to flash to stock (xxjvu or xwjw1) by using Odin AND (important for partition recovery) 512 pit file + repartition.

After that, let the phone boot up and everything should be fine after first boot.

Going to CM/Miui from stocks roms needs to do a wipe, the partitions are different and they need to be created, to going back from cm/miui to stock you have to reflash through odin with repartition, and it always make a wipe.

You should always make a nandroid backup to go back easily to stock, and backup your data with apps like titanium backup, sms backup/restore apps, conctacts backups.

I think I found a bug. Yesterday at work our Internet went down. Not thinking much about it I enabled net filter and started tethering wirelessly. During the tethering the phone vibrated to indicate battery was fully charged. It said to unplug, but I left it charging because I know tethering need some power. Tethering for a few hours worked flawlessly (Kudos for that) but then someone said the Internet was back, so I switched off tethering.

And this is the bug, the battery read 100%, fully charged with the USB cable inserted. Upon pulling it out it dropped to 2% and told me the battery needed charging.

It almost seems like after it was fully charged it stopped charging. Either that or the phone used more power than what the USB cable could supply. In any case, the battery indicator was not updated until I actually pulled the cable out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pikachu01:
Not a bug. It's a feature to prevent overcharging. Charging stops once it hits 100%.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darckengel:
Actually, it's a bug, normal behaviour should that it begins to charge again once battery goes below 80%. I'm not sure, but i think that talon kernel include the fix for that, if not, it was another one, but i remember that i saw some posts about it some months ago.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pikachu01:
TalonDev fixed the battery indicator so that it shows the exact battery when discharging (not a fake 100% when it is connected). However, the discharging after reaching 100% is still there (and is valid).
