Did you restore data with titanium?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Black Rose:
Yes, I did.

User Apps + data, as well as wi-fi access point data.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HM.Carbide:
Try to wipe wifi access point data. Its very often a problem restore data from system apps with other version. This leads in fc's and reboots.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DeusEx80:
I also have JW1 Ramad version (changing modem and csc) with semaphore 2.5sc.

I don't have any problem.

The wifi is perfect and i don't have bootloops rebooting with wifi on.

I agree with HM.Carbide, the problem is probably in your wifi data.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Black Rose:
Thanks guys.

I've deleted the wi-fi data for my router at home. Will add it in through the phone and test it out over the weekend.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] german0342:
Stratosk will you consider porting your kernel for i9000b ? Please! thank you man.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
I'm sorry, but at the present I spend my free time in ICS version.

I hope to find some time in the future.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sirbrian:
How to wipe off the wifi access point data? Just a simple deleting the WiFi Network in Settings or there is a folder to clean it up?

Thanks

Wow i envy your bootloop is only 1-3 times...mine can be as long as 3 hours...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mdacic:
Stratosk, can we tweak the USB charging current? (like in Galaxian or Siyah kernel)

# Set AC, Misc & USB charge current (Do not set Ac & Misc more than 1000mA or Usb more than 450)

echo "950 950 450" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/charge_current/charge_current;
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Black Rose:
Used "Forget Network" in the wi-fi settings and then re-added it through the phone, but it still bootlooped.

In prior testing, I've actually unplugged my router and still got the bootloop.

There are 4 other weak wi-fi access points that my phone sees.

If I get more than 4 or 5 bootloops, I pull the battery and wait a couple of minutes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HM.Carbide:
Best is always factory reset. But if you know, which apps you restored, you can wipe data in settings - applications - all applications. Click on the app and press clear data, clear cache.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DeusEx80:
If you have root rights, try to delete the folders /data/wifi and /data/misc/wifi, for example with root explorer.

Backup these two folders first to proceed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Black Rose:
I restored about 36 apps on my last rebuild.

Other than some games and the memo app, I could clear the respective data & cache.

Too bad there wasn't a log file to indicate why the phone goes into a loop.

Just looked in those two locations and see that the ssid and psk are stored as cleartext. Quite surprised to see the psk as cleartext.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sirbrian:
I did the same method and had to endure a 1.5hrs bootloop. Guess "cleaning the wifi" is a bluff..

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

And have u tried cleaning the two folders and without bootloop? I really dread doing anything now face some more bootloops.

Of course there is always the same recommendation of reflashing or factory reset, but that does not work too as I have tried them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pikachu01:
Tried going to midnight kernel to eliminate the kernel as the cause?

I have a hunch that going to midnight kernel will also cause the bootloops, but I need your confirmation.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] PIRATA!:
Hi to everyone.

I am about to install last Darky ROM 10.4.

Is the last version of this Semaphore Kernel and the related Semaphore app compatible with it?

How do I install it? If I remember well, Darky ROM comes with DarkCore... Should I just then Install the Semaphore Kernel over it?

Can I use it with the Thunderbolt script as I used before with Darky ROM 10.3?

Thank you. :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geokilla:
Is anyone getting sleep deaths with their phones? Lately, I keep on getting overnight sleep deaths and boot loops when I try to turn my phone. I did a complete reflash to my sig yesterday and still getting the same problem. With the boot loops, the only way to stop it from happening is to clear cache and dalvik cache every time I turn on my phone. I got a 1200Mhz overclock and no undervolts. Oh I leave my WiFi on overnight as well if that helps. Seems to be a fairly common problem.

My friend also has a similar problem with her Captivate, but instead for her, the phone auto restarts every 5 minutes. We've never had these problem before... They all came with Semaphore 2.5.0. Been a fan of Semaphore too :(

Btw, I have trouble restoring apps using Titanium Backup as well. As soon as I used Talon to restore apps, it worked fine. With Semaphore, no restoring.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hackeron:
Stop overclocking.

Ive only experienced 1 black screen where I had to press power button.. And that happened when I had charger plugged in and used tapatalk. But overall (1-2months) Its very stable.. No issues Im using 2.5.0sc without any OC.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Did you have these issues since you flashed 2.5.0. Did you try to flash 2.4.0 to check if issue remains?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geokilla:
I've had these issues since I flashed 2.5.0 I believe. Before when I was on the other Semaphore kernels, I don't recall these boot loops and sleep deaths. In fact, I've never had overnight sleep deaths. It's been a long time since I used 2.4.0 and 2.3.0, etc. so I don't remember 100%

I'll try turning off the overclock.

After using Semaphore for afew weeks, I can safely conclude that while it reduces battery drain when the phone is idle, the drain is accelerated when the phone is in use. So the effect is that overall battery life is reduced in terms of "screen on" time.

Any tweaks I can make to the kernel to circumvent this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hackeron:
I also feel that the idle drain is awsome. But usage (screen on drains quite a bit). For example when browsing tapatalk for a while..

But I havent thought about it too much since I dont even remember how it was on stock kernel.

What governor/scheduler are you using? And any other tweaks?

Im using

SIO/ondemand

no OC/UV

thunderbolt main script + libsqlite + 60 lmk addon.

Edit: I used the stock music player today while studying, and was surprised how little battery was drained. So that was really awsome.. heres a pic.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gsw5700:
stratosk, quick question, does semaphore 2.5 with cwm 5 allow restoring nandroid backups with either ext4 or rfs file systems? thanks

Sent using TCP/IP
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Yes, it should restore both.

Please note that if you are on rfs and try to restore a backup made on ext4, the filesystem will be converted to ext4. Though, the opposite can't happened restoring rfs backup on ext4 your filesystem will remain ext4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kohkohnut:
I have left pretty much everything at default except the colour settings. Stock's battery performance was completely opposite - drained more during idle, drained less during usage. In fact, my screen time has dropped about 20% since I switched over. It's very noticeable.

I have thought about changing the governor/scheduler settings but ain't sure about what kind of effect each option has. Anyone care to explain?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geokilla:
AFAIK, ondemand has a tweak that significantly drops the battery drain when the phone is idle. Not sure if it's a Semaphore or Thunderbolt! tweak. I believe it's a Thunderbolt! tweak.

Today my phone barely lasted half a day.... So sad :( I'd consider it moderate use too.

Regarding my previous posts, I turned off the 1200Mhz overclock and so far no sleep death. I'll report again tomorrow.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pikachu01:
It's a ThunderBolt! tweak (and stratosk implemented this after I pointed it out, which is to disable io_is_busy when sleeping).

You can try disabling io_is_busy while awake to reduce the awake drain. This impacts the performance though. You should delete the screenstate_scaling script before trying this as screenstate_scaling puts it back to 1 after a sleep/wake cycle.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geokilla:
Is it possible to implement the tweak to other governors?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pikachu01:
It's an ondemand specific tweak. ThunderBolt! implements something else for other governors (like screen off with higher up_threshold etc).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andip71:
Quick question

Hi folks,

sorry for the stupid question, but I am currently not running on Semaphore Kernel but another kernel, so I cannot look it up myself...

Can anyone please let me quickly know the kernel default voltages for the standard frequencies please? (100, 200, 400, 800 and 1000 MHz).

Thanks for your help.

Have a great day

Andi
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Hi,

In case that you don't use OC there are voltages:

unsigned int freq_uv_table[5][3] = {

//frequency, stock voltage, current voltage

{1000000, 1275, 1275},

{800000, 1200, 1200},

{400000, 1050, 1050},

{200000, 950, 950},

{100000, 950, 950}

};

If you OC to 1200 then voltage for this freq goes to 1325, and if you use 1300MHz the voltage goes to 1375.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AbuYahya:
Any chance of an 1140 OC, 1200 not stable on my device. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geokilla:
Turning off the overclock still results in boot loops. It stops after a while though. When it stops, it turns out I lose my live wallpaper as well...

Strange battery drain?

Hello,

I'm using JW1 ROM since mid December with Semaphore 2.4.0. A week ago my phone crashed(?) and I was unable to boot it. I wiped all data/factory reset/dalvik/cache and restored my system. Unfortunately since then my phone is experiencing strange battery drain issues :( I thought that maybe some app is misbehaving so I wiped my phone again but I still experience battery drain.

When I boot the phone my idle battery drain is like 2-5mA. But if I start playing with phone (internet/games/music) my battery usage goes high and when I leave phone to idle again (no wifi/3g) the battery usage is still high and dropping down very slowly. At the beginning is stays for around 50-80mA and after few hours it goes back to 5-7mA. Check this screenshot:

Can you help me trace the problem? I use ondemand governor with no-op I/O.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] herc2k:
...why i cant use my external sd card on ext4 (so i can have beter performance and files bigger than 4 gb)

since the kernel can handle the system on ext4??

or exFAt
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
This is not impossible. But then you would have difficulties to mount it in windows machines.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] quangmach:
Congratulation ! You did it. It works like it should now. However i lost my boot sound? :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rebel2k:
Test 6 results for me:

- wifi on > reboot > turn on BT: BT starts, but takes 15 seconds, but turns on.

- wifi off > reboot > turn on wifi > turn on BT: BT starts too (in a bit less than 15 seconds - big difference with test version 5).

- wifi off > reboot > turn on BT : BT starts.

Still have no tweaks enabled in the "Tweaks" app, but CF-apps are working. It seems a lot better than 1.3.1 standard then (because I can turn on BT in every situation - as far as I've tested).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MasterJam882:
I refer to my post 2 pages before.

Even with standard version no problems. I think that only flashing the kernel new on ur systems changes something and is the reason that it works now also on ur system but not the kernel itself as it works like a charm in standard version on JVQ.

Just my 2 cents
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] quangmach:
I did 5 reboot now, every time it turns on in 3 seconds. I think you should wipe davilk cache and cache and test again, maybe some old stuff from last kernel messed up with new one
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rebel2k:
No, because with the last version of test (6) my BT is working. If I flash back the "standard" and released 1.3.1 version, it is not working anymore. That's truely kernel-related, it is not a mater of flashing and flashing again. We did those tests with @stratosk a page ago...

Let's wait for the conclusions of our kernel dev! ;)

@quandmach: yes, I will wipe dalvik-cache + cache when we will see results of stratosk. 15 seconds are not too much for me: the important is now it turns ON! \o/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Thanks again for your effort! :)

The test shows that the BT issue is initramfs related.

For those who don't understand, the initramfs is the initial filesystem that kernel uses to boot and perform some initial stuff. This kernel uses chainfire's initramfs (actually the stock one, hacked by Chainfire).

Chainfire, uses a script (properties.sh) to set some properties for his applications.

When I released version 1.2.1 I did the same test we did today (after existz's hint that he had the same problem when he used cf's iniramfs and the problem is in initramfs). I narrow down the problem and after I disabled 3 properties, problem solved (at least for me).

Today, In the test 1 version I totally disabled all chainfire's properties and tweaks. In the next test I started to enable again them step by step and in the final test 6, I left 8 properties disabled.

I don't know what exactly do these properties that chainfire set. And I don't know why disabling them BT issue solved. If everything works OK also for other people I will release this version. If not, I will release the next version without the tweaks and cwm applications.

BT issue closed.

P.S. you may use the test 6 version. 2 hidden tweaks (hopefully) ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rebel2k:
Nice! I will keep this test 6 version then until you release a new "official" one! Thank you for having worked with us so carefully stratosk! Hope that will help many people. You're the first one to spend so much time on this BT issue! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] quangmach:
Can you release next version without tweaks and cwm applications? Or make a custom one for me? I wanna use your kernel for my coming custom rom. My aim is light and stable so i dont want some external apps in the rom. If can ill wait for the next stable release.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:

the question is about how can it be possible?how is it possible that the internal sd can be converted on ext4 and be used normally by the kernel and the external sd card cant..

and i tried it on cm9 and nothing there also not recognized

maybe it needs a module?

or atleast can we use exFat?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ryuzaki_eru:
What "Stock colors version 2.5.0sc

- Reverted Voodoo Color and Speedmod Color" means?

What is better? 2.5.0 or 2.5.0sc?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rebel2k:
Version sc is with standard stock colors. If you want Voodoo Color as it has nearly always been in Semaphore then take the not sc version.

Envoyé depuis mon GT-I9000 avec Tapatalk
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
as the changelog says voodoo and speedmod color modifications are removed from the stock color versions. It's a matter of taste (and a matter of how your screen is behaving) some people reported that they have a "bluish" or "redish" screen. For those people the voodo version would be the "right" one as they can adjust the RGB multipliers to "fix" this. For example i prefer the stock color version because i never had a bluish/redish screen and the sharpness seems "better" on my screen with stock version. If you are comfortable with the screen colors you had before you should perhaps choose the stock color versions. But just test it out, then you will see what you prefer. ;)
