...some help plz...

hi,

You say;

- Script to change /cache to virtual 50MB (in case you want to download apps > 30MB from Market)

Make sure to disable this option before convert to ext4. You may enable this after the conversion

How do i disable this option?

Sorry for noob question :o

Thx in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dani_z:
Go to Semaphore app and deselect option.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rebel2k:
Yes that's it! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
And the reboot. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Thanks for testing this.

Actually, there is a difference. In 1.5.0 the kernel source was patched with the latest samsung sources (update 2). But this was causing problems in USB tethering. All devs (including myself) changed back the USB drivers to the old sources (update 1). This fixed on 1.6.0.

So, there are 2 possibilities:

1) I did something wrong in the 1.6.0 when reverting the sources for usb to samsung update 1

2) The old code (update 1) for usb conflicts with the other code of update 2

I will try to investigate this tonight. But I need someone to test both usb tethering and car dock functionality.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elhennig:
I posted one more, already: I currently use voodoo kernel and the sound routing through usb does not work as soon as I load the voodoo sound module.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
This is weird because Semaphore has embedded voodoo sound in all versions (no need to load module) and as thomas_d_j said it works on 1.5.0 and doesn't work no latest versions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elhennig:
I used Semaphore 1.8 bm before and sound was not routed correctly to usb. That's why I reverted to voodoo kernel with the possibility to unload voodoo sound module.

Obviously sth. has changed in the kernel (with JVT?)that sound on usb is not regarded as headphone plug....

EDIT:

I tested it with speedmod kernel JVT and this kernel shows the same behaviour as semaphore kernel: No sound in car dock no matter if I use voodoo sound or not. Still there seems to be an issue with voodoo sound as well....

Hi people

I'm quite keen to flash v1.8 of this kernel, however, I just have one question:

Does it matter which version of ODIN I use to falsh it?

I haven't done any flashing for a while, and the last time I flashed Darkyy's ROM I'm sure it suggested v1.3 of ODIN

Many thanks, and sorry if it's a daft question

:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sirbrian:
So just to update on my troubleshooting:

1) I activated again the 50MB Virtual Memory, reboot, tried installing Birzzle (30.57MB) and I end up getting "...could not be downloaded due to an error." I tried to download Adobe AIR (8.25MB) and I get the same error msg.

2) I then turn off the 50MB VM, reboot, and when I tried Adobe AIR and Birzzle, I got the same "Error downloading "xxxx". There is insufficient space on the device."

3) I was advise in DarkyROM forum to uninstall the marketupdater and market updates so as to return to the old version of market.

4) Download of Birzzle and Adobe Air works finally. Though I must say that I do miss the new market.

It is weird that I face this issue out of sudden. Never happened before. Anyway thanks to all for your advise though it looks like it is not Kernel related problem.

I found that the touch screen sensitive is very bad when charging...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
I don't think it will be a problem. But I guess latest version is better to use. Though, I use Odin 1.7 and flashed million times without problem. As far as I know there is also version 1.82.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
OK, after a little investigation I found that you may enable ipv6 privacy using these commands in a shell:

sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr=2

sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr=2

I put commands in the attached script. Remove the .txt extension and put it in the /mnt/sdcard/SemaphoreScripts directory. Then you may enable-disable it from Semaphore Script Manager. Thanks to HM.Carbide we may use scripts easily with one touch!

Please report if this works for you. If anyone can confirm that these parameters do the job I will include this script in next version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
I read that many people are facing problem with the new market app. Though I don't think is kernel related. But some people reported that had problem with the enable virtual cache script.

If this script does not work for you then market app will not work for sure.

One way to check if this script is working for you is through chainfire's ext application. Just run the ext4 app and check the partition type and size under /cache. If the script works you should see 'ext2 50MB free'
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DanDroidian:
I couldn't agree more! ! ! ! ! ! ! I can't even use swype it's so bad! What causes this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Although I feel a difference when charging, it is not that bad! I can easily use swype. Can you please specify your configuration?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] malcho:
I also don't have any problem with this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thomas_d_j:
Also it works fine on JVT CF-root kernel with Voodoo module loaded via Voodoo Control Plus app.

Note that latest Talon kernel (which claims "Audio Dock Support" on first post) does not work either. I suspect it is something in the "Update 1" source code as you suggest. As per TheBeaon's post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=980937):

"Note: none of this works for the Car Dock in Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread (JVB, JVK, or JVO), due to a Samsung kernel bug/feature. It should work for the Home Dock. Car Dock output is fixed in Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread (JVP or later)."

IIRC, Update 2 was around the time of JVP?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Thanks for interesting info.

If I remember correctly update 2 was for JVQ. So, I guess this working on update 2 (semaphore version 1.5.0) and since I reverted back some usb sources to update 1 in 1.6.0 stopped working.

The problem is with the current sources we can fix usb tethering or car dock. I will search this a little bit. If I will find something I will let you know...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Intergalacdroid:
Thanks stratosk

I actually ended up flashing with SGS Kernel Flasher & is running like a dream...very stable so far, nice colours, just great!

I'm officially a fan of the Semaphore kernel :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thomas_d_j:
Ok good luck. I guess we either wait for "Update 3" or someone needs to compare the USB code line-by-line to work out what's what.

It's a pity - I would really like my kernel to have tethering, dock audio and BLN. I guess BLN is the one I can (almost) live without so I will stay on CF-root for now but am very interested to hear if you make any progress and am happy to help out with testing.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
I think there is nothing you can do. Maybe you can try to undervolt 1300 by -25mV.

Some people proposed me to add an additional step frequency but in the current version is of course in impossible.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] LordVetinari:
I had the same problem. I disabled the script, rebooted, deleted the /data/local/cache.img (afaik) file, and then re-enabled/created the cache file.

I'll post an update if this happens again. Hopefully I'll remember to not delete the cache.img file so that I can do an fsck on it. :) I'm thinking that the file corrupted in some way.

If I use Semaphore to OC to 1.3GHz (tried with 1375mV and 1325mV), the phone crashes. If I use Tegrak to OC to 1.3GHz (1325mV) the phone works with no problem.

What's causing this?

BTW, Auto Brightness works now, previously I had deodexed JVT which probably caused the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
I wish I had access to tegrak OC module to find out how he stabilise 1.3GHz. Maybe, it's the extra frequency step. But, I really don't know.

Guys, do you have any idea why the live dmseg/logcat boot animations made by Chainfire don't work? I am using the f1 jvs rom and the 1.8.0 kernel.

Any news related to Market big size apks...

VM cache not working, in ext4 cache is 50MB, but break market... I cannot download aplications...

Cheers and great job
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
I'm not sure why this is not working for many people. :confused:

Sometimes, I also have problems with some apps from market (when not using virtual cache option). After a while, when I retry I mange to download.

Can you please check something? Enable the virtual cache and try to write a file to /cache partition just to check that the partition is ok. Then if you have problems with market disable the option, reboot and check again. I wonder if there is problem with market app in some cases.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
Had the same problem today! I could fix this by reinstalling market update by first uninstalling the update open market close market wait a view mins (market will upgrade in background) open market and install apps/updates. (All this with disabled 50 mb cache!)This worked for now, but i have a feeling that this was only a temporary fix! This new version of market is really crappy! :-(

I have a feeling it has something to do with another factor, not the kernel. I honestly thought it might just be because I'm in Cambodia and NOTHING is grounded properly in this country...

Hi, Stratosk

What do you mean what makes Damian that his kernel at 1000Mhz is much faster than yours, and has 3500-3900 quadrant scores..

but...why I'm using your 1.8.0 because it has BLN support - which is important for me..

could you make "touchscreen sensitivity" menu in your kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pikachu01:
His kernel disables journaling which leads to performance increase with risks if corruption from sudden power loss.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Hi,

I guess it's the ext2 filesystem. I think Damian uses ext2 conversion.

About touchscreen sensitivity please check HM.Carbide's thread. You may find chainfire's touchscreen sensitivity script and install it as addon script.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pikachu01:
Yes ext2. Missed that word when replying just now :P

Ahh yes and uncapping fps as well as ridiculously high read ahead and lastly stage fright. All which boosts quadrant but reduces overall performance or breaks something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Intergalacdroid:
Which lagfix?

Hi stratosk

Firstly, loving the kernel. Running like a dream so far: BLN is def working for me :D

Just wondering if you could let me know which is the best lagfix to use with this kernel please?

Thanks and keep up the great work
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Hi, you may use chaifire's ext4 application to convert your file systems to ext4. I prefer ext4 for many reasons: reliable, safe, fast, stable.

You may also use overclocking to 1.2GHz if you want. Although it pushes your cpu a little bit, I believe it's pretty safe. I use it for few months without problems. But, this is just my opinion.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danieldmm:
Stratosk can you point to some thing related Marked? Tried with v3.1.5 , same problem...

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
I don't really know what causing this. Maybe a conflict with your custom rom.

I can think only recreation of virtual cache partition. Please try this:

Disable the option and then reboot. Check from ext4 app that your /cache is back to original 30 Mb. Then delete file cache.img in /data/local directory. This is the file which is mounted ad virtual partition. Enable again the option from semaphore app. Check from ext4 app that vc was created again and retry to download from market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ZaneZam:
This doesn't fix it in my case, then i tried reinstall of market app and it worked at least two times, the two apps i was installing were about 10mb and about 18mb. Fits over 2 times in the vcache so i think that isn't a cache problem. Had this problem also on previous versions of market where i could fix this by just trying again but this in my case 3.1.5 version suddenly stops working at all! Btw i allways update apps one per one as multible updates at the same time also never worked for me. Annoying!

Hi, I have HoneyCore ROM JVT based on this kernel.

I have such kind of problem: if for instance I am reading djvu with VuDroid and then turn device off to go on reading in some minutes - in about dozen of seconds I get crash and quick system reboot (but anyway annoying).

I had the same problem on 1.7.0 kernel version. And my question is: could it have something to do with kernel itself or this is a problem of the ROM?

Looking forward for the answer!

And what about Tornado Aureus? It's stable on 1440 MHz. Can you check it?

---------- Post added at 05:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 AM ----------

On EXT4 is 3500-3800. Using EXT2, Quadrant is >4000. And the cache partition: It's as big as /data partition (>1GB.)

---------- Post added at 06:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 AM ----------

Clear data in Market app. and reboot!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
I don't think 1440MHz is stable in every phone. As I said maybe it's the extra step. I don't know if damian publish sources to check this.

About Quadrant scrores, pikachu answered this in previous page. You can easily get this scores (if this is your goal) using some tweaks or scripts that you can find in XDA. I'm interested in real kernel performance. Android OS tweaking is out of scope of this kernel.

About the /cache partition: making a directory in the /data and mounting cache on it is not a 'partition'. What is the usability of making /cache so big? It's not secure (it can be increased arbitrary). With this script, /cache is behaving like a partition. And this script has one goal. To increase the size to 50MB in case someone wants to download apps > 30MB from market. Otherwise I don't recommend to use it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Hi, I don't think that it's kernel related. Does this happens only with this app?

Do you overclocking? Undervolting?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darckengel:
If you want ext2, you can first install damians kernel, make the ext2 conversion, and go back to semaphore, it will works well.

Of course ext2 is a little bit more risky than ext4 but as Semaphore is very stable, the risk of losing data is very small (just think to often backup your stuff).

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
My goal was never to show you a high Quadrant score, never.

I'm trying kernels. When I flash that kernel, I set it to 1440 MHz and use it always.

I have never used Stagefright, to make a high score. That kernel is basically very fast and battery drain is ok. for me. Not worse as using yours. EXT2?... I used it always on data, cache, EXT4 on system. Never got problem at all.

About the /cache partition: making a directory in the /data and mounting cache on it is not a 'partition'. What is the usability of making /cache so big? .

I don't know. You should ask Damian. I'm not a kernel-dev.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Hi saszseb. I'm sorry if my post sounded offensive. You mentioned Quadrant scores and I replied to this. I don't mean that Quadrant is useless tool. At the end we all use it for some measurements. I mean that you can easily make high scores in this tool but the actual performance improvement is less.

I also didn't say that you will have problems with ext2. But you increase the possibility for data loss using it. As you said you may never have problems.

My question about /cache partition was a rhetorical. I didn't expect an answer. It's obvious that /cache up to 1GB is totally useless.
