Please do not touch anything ,don't publish a version without smartass because it really work excellent with sio on my phone at least. I think it is really a great improvement for your kernel . Smartass work better for me than ondemand. (Can't tell for the battery as it is too short for now).

Any idea why sometimes with smartass, the cpu freq never goes under the max freq even if the load is below 10% (i had it 2-3 times with OC at 1.3Ghz, but hard to reproduce) ?

Unfortunately, no idea...

I have to investigate this.

Hello,

my question was not answered completely.

Can I install the kernel semaphore JVT_1.8.1 to Goatrip 4.0 at the Bais of JVR?

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rebel2k:
Yes you can. 1.8.1 is working good on JVR.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] madphone:
I love this kernel because it gives us many options which are easy to configure. There is nothing I miss, and it is very stable.

But there is one big problem the galaxy a is having: multitasking seems to be broken, at least with browsers. by simply opening the phone app for example the browser quits and needs to reload the website. Pretty annoying when you aren't using wifi.

I tried almost everything, every kernel, every setting, many scripts and many rom. The only kernel which doesn't quit the browser that fast is Damian gto aereus. but it isn't perfect there either and I'm having other problems with it.

Why is that? Many other phones with 512mb of ram aren't having this problem, and I'm sure it hasn't been allays like this on galaxy s. Any idea?

Do you have some news regarding the car dock sound routing?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HM.Carbide:
Which tweaks did you enable, and which scripts did you install?

With stock rom, and semaphore kernel, without any scripts installed, this should not happen.

Are you using a memory optimizer app?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] madphone:
i tried all kinds of combinationations. no difference. installed the latest thonderbold scripts, no change. now i removed all my widgets, closed many background processes so that there is 150mb of free ram. and guess what... no difference.

don't you have this problem too? just open a side like xda-developers in stock browser or opera. open the contacts or phone app, scroll a bit and than reopenit. tada, the ste needs to be reloaded.

after a full wipe its a bit better but not much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Pfiffle:
Can you make the script in an ini File and Load it up, please?!

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
OK ,put the attached file (without the .txt extension) in the /system/etc/init.d directory with a root explorer application.

First mount as rewriteable, copy the script, give executable permissions to the file. Reboot or run it from a terminal emulator.

Now, you will have the conservative governor until you remove this file. Please note that this will overwrite the governor tweak from chainfire's application.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hellfirez1714:
In SetCPU only leaves the option:

Ondemand

performance
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Because the conservative is compiled as a module.

If you want it you have to load it with an init script.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zg1603h:
sorry for my ignorance but just to be 100%clear.

everything on the list that is a module is initially disabled except the governor which is set to ondemand?

am I right?

Tnx.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Yes, that's correct. Modules in the list are not loaded by default. They must explicitly loaded using a script or through an application (for example Mount Manager can load the CIFS module).

Ondemand governor is compiled in the kernel and is used by default.

I did it. 1.3 runs pretty good on JVQ but my phone gets very hot easily even with heavely undervolted and battery is not at best.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vrehenriqu:
Hi.

Here's my feedback on Kernel 1.3.0a:

Used it for a day, on a custom ROM based on JVP, with JUPA scripts.

Everything worked fine until a few minutes ago were with no reason the phone started to heat up.

Went back to ver 1.2.2

EDIT: I suspect from Shootme app (screenshot application) but I'm not sure about it...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MasterJam882:
Reading the last posts it seems the new version has a heating problem.

Hope stratosk will take a look on it....just to be safe that it won't harm the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Thanks everyone for feedback.

A kernel cannot produce a heating problem and cannot harm your phone (maybe if your overclock too much).

Obviously the problem is in a process that takes 100% of cpu and that produces the heat (try to play a game with heavy graphics and you will notice the heat - in any kernel).

The question is which is the process that causes this. Can anyone send more feedback on this? You can run a 'top' command in a terminal emulator and see the process. Or maybe the actions for reproducing this issue?

I'm running several days the 1.3.0a version without these problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Parkuu:
1.2.2 is giving me lags. I'm staying on 1.2.0.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] privatrony:
2 days-no heating problems yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jobiza:
I don't have heat problem when playing angry birds on 1,2ghz 1250mv, but with 1.3a i had even i only used normally the phone and didn't play. And if there would be an app that would use 100% of cpu and heat, wouldn't that make everything else laggy?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Try to play asphalt :)

I mean that maybe a process (it is not necessary that is a game) causes the cpu to stay to 1.2 Ghz (and maybe take 100% of cpu).

In that case, yes that would make the phone laggy. I don't say that it is impossible that the new version could cause this but I need to know what is that process.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vrehenriqu:
Stratosk,

As I wrote before I suspect from a an apk...

I have no OC. Only have UV.

Besides that, no issues whatever. Good battery life, faster than 1.2.2, perhaps a bit choppy at the beginning (not so fluid).

A big thanks for your work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jobiza:
I changed to 1.22 already and heat problem is gone, but anyway i wouldn't be the right person to test these things, cause i used 1.3a on JVQ and jvp custom rom and i don't know much about kernels and so on. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Hi stratosk,

I read on the Galaxian kernel thread that you supposedly managed to fix the Bluetooth issue with the CF-Root initramfs

care to share your modifications ?

or are they upstream and fixed with more recent variants of the initramfs ?

Many thanks in advance !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
Is Ad-Hock implimented in this kernel?

If so, how to start it?

If not, can it be done? I just checked & its been in Darky's ROM since V9.2.

Hi,

I have just tested to be sure and no, there's no problem at all with multi-tasking.

The opened website stay as left and don't need to reload the page as you say.

I'm using 1.8.1 / Mitra rom 4.5 JVT
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Coolgreek:
This shouldn't happen and it doesn't happen without a reason... For example i do not have this problem (although multitasking with heavy apps -such as games- always ends up with one of them closed by android os).

Gto kernel has lower limit for free ram and so that helps multitasking a bit. But you can do a similar tweak on semaphore too (48 mb default, can be changed to 32mb) through the semaphore script app.

Other than that you can try

1) another memory script (for example this script or this app).

2) try semaphore bm version (gives more free memory by disabling hd video recording)

If those dont work either you should consider more drastic solutions (such as re flashing).

Keep in mind that from the 512 mb ram on sgs only the 336mb are for the android os+apllications.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pikachu01:
You have an app that is constantly wanting to eat memory. Try looking at OSmonitor and see which app always consumes a lot of memory.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] madphone:
hmm, i jave just wiped my phone and flashed jvt stock and nothing else. not a single app, still the same. browser quits after reading sms, mail or calling somebody.

Edit: seems to be better now, think it was because of google was still synching contacts and mails after booting the first time.

Now i'll try to get the same configuratution as you have, hopefully my phone will keep beeing able to multitask :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pikachu01:
That's weird, JVT stock should have a very non-aggressive LMK.

I have tried last 1.8.1 Kernel, there is much battery drain that 1.8.0 kernel (default setting). Why ?

If you check the change log, there are no changes to excuse this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Can you please give me more details. Do you get an error message?

Unfortunately no. I tried to find out what's happening but nothing found. I will retry.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
About smartassv2 issue:

The problem happens only using overclocking and smartassv2.

I think I found a workaround on this. When someone enables smartassv2 governor and OC, 2 scripts are copied to /system/etc/init.d:

enable_gov_smartassV2

enable_oc_1200 or enable_oc_1300

and run with this order after reboot.

Rename the 2 scripts to:

S00enable_oc_1200

S05enable_gov_smartassV2

I tested this rebooting many times the phone and I couldn't reproduce the issue.

I also tested with no OC and no problem. I also found a couple of points to test on code. So, I'm optimistic about resolving this issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lord Style:
I want to ask if the increased consumption of battery that I have found it is possible for these reasons.

Is there any chance that semaphore app arange how scripts will execute?

For example to add S01 for first script and so on?

Question for HM.Carbide
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
First i had the same feeling about battery consumption, but after my little "bat-stat-accident" during testing the new version 1.8.1 i had to recalibrate my battery, and after that it seems even better than before now!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dani_z:
Maybe the reason is too much flashing :D

Seriously, after kernel flash is good to calibrate your battery again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
You wanna make a flashing match? Ok! *gg*. Yeah, much flashing could maybe harm your bat-stats, but in my case it was too short frequent booting. Not a good idea, let your phone a few minutes doing what ever it does before another reboot! ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dani_z:
Stupid dictionary ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
Much more a funny dictionary... :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HM.Carbide:
Semaphore script manager already supports script order.

All depends on how the scripts are named.

I am sure, stratosk will give the scripts in res/scripts prefixes in next kernel release, after he has tested everything.

For now, you can copy all enable_oc and enable governor scripts from res/scripts to sdcard/SemaphoreScripts, and prefix them there.

The app provides, quite alot :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] malcho:
Ok.

Thanks for answer

The temp freezing apps is a great idea, I'll do that. And how can I disable journaling in ext 4? I remember ext2 being really fast! (should be similar)

I actually do a lot of multitasking (with 2 or 3 apps), so lmk=48 is better for me, but I hate the fact that android always puts in memory apps that I don't use much and the 2 or 3 I'm use the most (news reader, browser and notes) are usually killed when I switch apps between them, it's very annoying...

Do you mean the virual cache? It could be permanent (running the script) but since it's a virtual partition through a loopback device and a file, I guess that it is not as fast as the normal /cache partition.

I suggest to use it only if you need to download an application > 30MB and the revert back to normal partition.

its how often the kernel is interrupted, a higher value may give slightly more battery life (debatable) at the expense of responsiveness.
