Version 2.4.x is 353MB but no 720p recording!

Not sure if issues with front cam though!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
From OP:

Changelog

2.5.0 (15/01/2012)

- su permissions changed to 6755 (?)

- Added script to load configs module

Bigmem version 2.5.0bm

- 353 MB available RAM

Breaks 720p video recording

Breaks photo capture during video recording

Breaks front camera photo capture in JVU

Stock colors version 2.5.0sc

- Reverted Voodoo Color and Speedmod Color

Bigmem version 2.5.0scbm

Restoring backups made with CWM3 is not recommended. Although it maybe possible, I didn't test this functionality. Please create new backups with CWM5.

JVU_2.5.0beta (12/01/2012)

- CWM v5.0.2.7 (special thanks to Mialwe for his hints and for his mount code and of couse many thanks to CM team)

- busybox v1.19.3-cm7

- JVU initramfs

- fix front camera pictures issue

- fix capture frames during video recording (maybe dropped in final release)

- 337MB available RAM (due to the above fixes)

- updated Semaphore scripts by HM.Carbide (thanks to him, some scripts will be available as addon packages)

as you can see it beaks only front cam photo capture if u are using JVU Rom and any Bigmem Version of Semaphore (also the 2.4.0 one) due to memory reservation in bm versions which conflicts with the new feature in JVU Rom.

Maybe (and hopefully *g*) Stratosk will do a rework on it (if a "fix" is even somehow possible) if Samsung officially has released its "last firmware" for the SGS1 which will have all this features included too.

i think this should be an update for this kernel,

today i used some init.d scripts. the phone boots completly but after the PIN code i had only bootloops

so now the solution =>

cwm init.d clean menu

is this posible?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geokilla:
Semaphore app should have a bootloop detection which will remove init.d scripts if it detects that the phone is bootlooping.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mialwe:
That's not a reason for a kernel update, most probably your init.d scripts caused the issue. Init.d scripts can change a lot of things and some changes can cause bootloops so be sure you *know* what your scripts are doing before using them. As nobody knows the scripts you used it's difficult to help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
Actually it HAS a bootloop detection and its enabled by default! ;) Check Semaphore Script Manager/Kernel Features! I've used Semaphore for quite a long time and NEVER had any bootloops related to it or its init.d scripts. As mialwe said, check your installed scripts and check that you have enough free space on System BEFORE you install any kernel/scripts/tweaks/mods. take care.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pxrave:
i know this but scriptmanager launched the script in init.d ;P after that i had a bootloop

now i deleted the file whit adb magic from chanfire ;)

but a init.d dir cleaner in cwm would be perfect => the bootloop detection doesnt work sometimes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Peppegs:
Hello guys I want to ask if you can mount Semaphore Auto Brightness on the stock kernel.

I flashed the original kernel because I had problems with the GPS but I want the autobrightness semaphore.

I have root permission and use rootexplorer .... You can do what I ask? could someone tell me which files to replace?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Hi,

Unfortunately, you can't do this. Module needs some changes on kernel to be able to work.

What kind of problems did you have with GPS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] robogo1982:
I'd like to know that, too. I flashed dozens of kernels, never had a problem with GPS, nor had problems bound to one specific kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Peppegs:
Hi stratosk and thanks for the reply.

Pity that I can not have this utility on the original kernel.

I use the XXJVS firmware (2.3.5 by samfirmware) and with your kernel (v2.5) I noticed that the satellite is almost impossible to fix, so I tried using various tweaks and changing various modem.bin but nothing good.

Then I tried putting the original kernel, and magically everything works perfectly.

I'm sorry because with your tweak to the brightness I was fine
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ebenze:
Can the CWM apk that is provided here be used on any rooted GB kernel, or must it be with semaphore? I'm currently running a rooted stock kernel but wanted to know if I could use CWM to make a nandroid backup before flashing anything else.

Am I risking problems using the apk on stock rom/kernel?

Thanks,

Eric
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] XblackdemonX:
Would it be possible to have a kernel with USB HOST + BIG MEM?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Boggy22:
Hi guys, I may sound stupid, but I forgot how to convert to Ext4 via Semaphore Recovery Mode. Can't find the option anywhere in the new 2.5.0.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] XblackdemonX:
It is not in the recovery menu to begin with, you have to use the APK
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
Yeah, ext4 manager has been removed a view versions ago. hint: If you start with cf-root kernel and flash over semaphore (which is based on cf-root) you will have

Ext4 manager again, then you can covert to ext4. ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
I guess you remember cwm manager application. Ext4 manager was never bundled in the semaphore kernel. You have to download it from cfroot's thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
Of course stratosk, remember remember thats the problem! :) T hx for pointing. :) anyway, this is how i used to do it to get ext4 manager. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skyli91:
Sorry :| wrong post. But thanks for the kernel!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burakgon:
Hi stratosk. Can I recompile your bigmem kernel as 350mb with front cam? Will it work? What I need to include?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] XblackdemonX:
bump

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Hi,

Please find attached 2.5.1scbm

- 350MB available ram

- fixed front camera

- fixed droidwall issues

Please note that this is untested by me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burakgon:
Oh God!!!!!!!!

Can I donate you with untrusted paypal account???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
But soon it will be tested by me! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
Great, thx a lot stratosk! I can confirm 350mb ram, front cam captue and droidwall issues fixed!

Nice to have sc and brightness driver back, i think i will have to change my signature again! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
I hope this version is what you asked for.

BTW what is 'untrusted paypal account'?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bipbop:
is it possible to have the same features in gb kernel as in ics semaphore kernel:

- USB Host: mouse support as module

- USB Host: Joystick, x-box pad support as module

????

For me, these are only two that makes me use ICS roms, but really I`d rather go with GB roms cause ICS are still having tons of issues ... can you add those in next build ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
I'm sorry but this patch needs testing and more free time by me. And I need to flash GB rom to do it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] evrest:
one with voodoo colour as well please.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burakgon:
Thank you so much stratosk...

That's what I need really!

I tried donating you. But I need to add a credit card to do it. But I only have a debit card. How can I donate you with a debit card?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
No problem my friend.

Thanks for your intention to donate me, but you don't need to do it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geokilla:
I seem to have lost root access. I still have superuser though? Reflashing kernel didn't work either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Please remove cfroot directory from /system and reboot. This should reinstall su binary.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burakgon:
Have a good day. I couldn't donate but I will pray you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geokilla:
Can't remove cfroot directory from /system. Tried both Root Explorer and ASTRO :( I guess this is due to lack of root.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Millionas:
You have to install Superuser app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ub3NodWZvdS5hbmRyb2lkLnN1Il0.

I think stratosk removed the apk from the kernel.

Or do you have the apk installed? hard to understand from your post. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geokilla:
Superuser is installed.... Don't have root access...

I'm going to try to install Talon and hope that works. If it doesn't.... :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] robogo1982:
Just try flashing Semaphore once again and see what happens :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geokilla:
I did... Nothing happens.

I ended up flashing Talon to get root back. Then switched back to Semaphore. It seems that root/superuser is a bit buggy with Semaphore. I tried flashing that custom splash screen just now and I couldn't get it applied using Semaphore kernel. Tried it with Talon and got it working on first try. Maybe stratos can take a look if he ever gets some free time and wants to help out the GB community :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] XblackdemonX:
Could it be possible to have a Semaphore 2.5.1 with USB HOST?

thanks

Haha forget it buddy, GB is the future!

I downgraded from ICS to go back to GB because it's more awesome! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HM.Carbide:
Hey slow down!

I think the 364MB includes changes in kernel source.

Bad thing, it will be not easy maybe unpossible to compile a kernel with old sources and new initramfs. (Correct me, if I am wrong)

Good thing: Samsung will release new sources!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
If someone has some free time, please for a test:

Flash the kernel from the new ROM to an old ROM. I don't if it will work but maybe we will find if the changes for the 364MB are in the kernel.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
yeah +1, keep your horses!

New Sources, new game! I think some minds will start to go up to 100% load when new sources are available and then we surely will get new version(s) any time soon. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] djb77:
Can you be more specific?

Do you mean the stock kernel from JW4 to another stock firmware like JVU?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
yes i think stratosk meant to flash the JW4 kernel on an older rom. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Yes, stock kernel from JW4 to stock ROM like JVU. We only need to boot it and check the available memory. If there are 364MB available memory then there are changes in the kernel. If not there is something new in the JW4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] O-T:
Grab kernel JW4 and flash on JVU/JW1/JVZ/JVW ROM?

Sounds just as tempting as jumping into a black hole...

OK will do, don't know how quickly, but if I dont see anyone post results I'm sure I will.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HM.Carbide:
1. try:

flashed xxjw4 kernel -> bootloop

2. try:

flashed semaphore 2.5.1 again, cleared init.d in es explorer, and dalvik cache in recovery

flashed xxjw4 kernel -> bootloop

Seems not compatible with xxjvu.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oswade:
JW4 kernel also doesn't work on JW1 rom, unfortunately lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
The reason for asking, is just educational (for me at least).

I would like to know where are the changes for this huge difference in available memory.

@HM.Carbide, oswade

Thanks for your time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HM.Carbide:
Just a guess from a noob, they optimized the gpu driver. So maybe also a chance to get the more ram in ics.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burakgon:
Tried.

JVU + jw4 kernel no boot and JW1 same.

Can't we see difference if samsung doesn't share sources?

Can we modify this kernel by just repacking zimage? I'm researching about this. I want to make a bigmem version of JW4 kernel with 30 mb more maybe? Which means 394 mb lolz (maybe more less)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] djb77:
Hopefully it wont be too much of an issue. Best of luck stratosk :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burakgon:
Ok wait I will add JW4 gpu drivers to my JVU gamerzrom and flash it with JW4 kernel.

Edit:

GPU drivers are different! Now trying replacing them and flashing.

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

Replaced GPU drivers with JW4 and flashed. Boot loops again.

I will research libs folder more.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sajidmkhan:
Hope this screen will help you
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sajidmkhan:
Reasion of Bootloop is either EXT4 or your old bootloader.

First flash by any 2.3.6 stock then try

Btw old version of semaphore didnt working with JW4. waiting for new kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Siberian Tiger:
I guess all kernel developers have given up GB :(

No love for GB,even chainfire :eek:

I'd like to see one more version from stratos JW4 based :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burakgon:
I'm searching to learn how to compile a kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Just don't worry. ;)

But, I think we need source code from Samsung for this version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Siberian Tiger:
Thanks stratosk.I guess we'll see another semaphore version :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geokilla:
You don't read previous posts do you?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burakgon:
Stupid samsung. If 364 mb ram possible. So why we don't have it this much time. Even more before front cam and capture during video mods.

I think sammy laughs us when we using bigmem kernels as 350mb with no 720p recording.

TW4 using 50 mb RAM with a few widgets. Get this value back and give us RAM.

Go to hell sammy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
And there is already ics rom with 384 (387 with semaphore) and with 399 with bigmem semaphore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] burakgon:
Wooooooot wait me! Omg 400mb ram. Looks like I need to build a gamerzrom ics with a great gaming mode and best part: semaphore bigmem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geokilla:
Do you know if those ICS changes can be implemented to GB? It seems that this extra RAM doesn't break anything "important" as lots of people in your Sempahore ICS thread are reporting that HW acceleration and 720P recording still works normally.

I still prefer GB since it's "more stable" even though both feel relatively the same, with ICS actually being a bit smoother in games. Before GB was fine in games, but now it's lagging for some reason.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kabracity:
Looking forward to semaphore for XXJW4 :D!

@burakgon You should be grateful that Samsung is at least releasing a last value pack and giving us some extra mem, I'm really happy about it. Other manufacturers forget really quick about their devices.

But what makes me happier is a big community modding GT-I9000. Lot of ROMs and kernels to try out :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rebel2k:
Hi Stratosk!

Hope you're fine, because even if I read a lot on XDA and I'm still following this topic on my best of the best favorite kernel, I've not been posting for a while! :)

In a nutshell: will it be possible to build a kernel with the same kind of tricks you use in the ICS version (tricks used in the official JW4 kernel?) to get more memory in the GB kernel too? Maybe for the Semaphore 2.6 (or even 3.0? ;))? If you can't test it because you're not on GB anymore, I'm ready to give you a serious hand testing that! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Hi Rebel2k,

Thanks so much for your interest and for your offer about testing.

Unfortunately the trick is in the ROM's code.

I could make a version with 387 and 399MB available ram but if there is no change on ROM's code video recording will be broken.

We should wait Samsung to release (if they gonna release) some code for the new ROM and check the changes there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rebel2k:
Ok, got it! Thanks for the piece of information! Then that means that if you can compile a custom JW4 version of the kernel, the JW4 ROM will automatically benefits of those RAM improvements?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
I can't answer this, because I don't know what exactly they changed.

But most probably finding the changes in the stock kernel we will be able to build a compatible kernel with the new RAM configuration.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pxrave:
i cant wait for that =)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Anybody knows if JW4 was officially released or it's a leaked version? If it is 'leaked' Samsung is not obligated to release code (I think).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HM.Carbide:
Official via kies.

Btw tw4 with 40+ apps is really slow.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Then, they MUST publish code.

A small suggestion to GB users: You have to try ICS. There are some very good ICS ROMs.

Before I flash ICS, I was thinking that it's very difficult to get (really working) ICS without the official support from Samsung. But I was wrong.

ICS is really fast (faster than GB) and stable in our phone. And many developers work on their ROMs and kernels and resolve issues faster than Samsung.

But, this is only my personal opinion. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HM.Carbide:
The lags of this version reminds me on old 2.2 rom. But those lags could be solved with a good kernel. I don't think that the tw4 lags (5+ seconds) can be solved.

I will use the next free time frame to switch to ics.

I hope everything i need will work :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
I think you will not regret this. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Тhe Dark Knight:
Thanks for your opinion, but I prefer GB. Yesterday and today i tried to get used ICS. As a result - returned to 2.3 :) So looking forward to new kernel for jw4 ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hackeron:
I will also try ICS again now that the 4.0.4 is released... When I tried cm9 @ 4.0.3 it was way too much batterydrain and it was laggy in settings.. Hope it is better now..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geokilla:
Maybe I used the wrong ROM, but I prefer GB over ICS. ICS is faster though, I give it that. No lag in games.

Someone can e-mail Samsung for the kernel source code. I remember Trusello e-mailed them before for the i897 GB source code and he got it within a couple days.
