Very odd happenings. I flashed back to Semaphore this weekend after several SOD's from the Dark Core kernel on Mosaic8. Today at work, my battery Cratered. went from 92% to 30% between 8 and noon! YOWZA! before the Kernel swap I was getting a full days useage out of it.

do you recommend a battery calibration when kernel swapping? I dont plan to swap again anytime soon as I like the Semaphore Kernel. I am not overclocking or anything and use juicedefender Ultimate. I did reinstall that to make sure it was working as it should.

also when using the mobile AP I it says Error under the heading. I tried using the wifi tether app and it said something about it could not apply nat rules. using version 1.9c. Wifi tether says that the Kernel does not have all necessary features for running this application.
[Captivate Android Development] stratosk:
About tethering: Use Semaphore application to enable netfilter. Then you should be able to use mobile AP or USB tethering or firewall functionality.

These gaps in battery stats after kernel or rom flashing are usual. I would recommend to complete a couple of cycles of charging/discharging. Don't do anything else. It's normal.
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
BUENO!!!!

yea, I think I flashed it Sunday morning and it held well all day then but today at the office it Cratered. could have been the email data and the wifi staying on non stop.
[Captivate Android Development] dpaik:
JuiceDefender sucks imho...i don't know why people use task killers and battery managers...they don't really work
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
Thanks that a better idea :D
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Ditto. I keep on trying 1300Mhz and my Captivate keeps on freezing on me. Seems that no 1300Mhz for me with Semaphore :(
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
Funny u say that I bought it when I was on a stock rooted rom and it really did help. I am a power user who uses this device as my business daily driver. I get over 50 exchange emails daily plus another 20 thru pop3. Live and work in a very rural area that just got 3g in some areas (my house is on the edge). We have a microcell at work so our phones even have service in the building.

All that said I know I can tweak the jd a bit more but we will see. I did notice the data never cut off this morning and reinstalled jd and it seems to have helped.
[Captivate Android Development] bkimbel:
Tried 1200 OC, and phone rebooted, so no OC love for me. Oh, well, not a big deal, I realize all phones are different, and this one just may not like to be over-clocked. It's fast enough for me at 1000, and I'm yet to have a sleep death on Semaphore. (Doh, now I've done it, I've gone and said no SoD, and that's bound to curse me.)

Just wondering if non-big mem might be more stable for OC, or would it make no difference? I'm running big-mem now.
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
As I understand it, big-mem is a "permanent" solution. I think I saw a way to revert on the Apex 11 thread, but I may be mistaken.
[Captivate Android Development] bkimbel:
I was thinking I could flash the non-big mem version of the kernel if it would gove me better OC'ing, but I don't think it will make any difference.
[Captivate Android Development] stratosk:
The only difference between bigmem and normal version is the available memory. Please note that the bm version will break 720p video recording.

I don't think that will help you resolve OC instabilities.
[Captivate Android Development] martinomac:
Reboots when...

Just wanted to thank you for the great work on this kernel. I was coming from TalonDev but the end of day lagyness was too much to handle. Im a bit new to kernels and what to know if I'm missing something.

After flashing semaphore, phone loaded great. I then flashed thunderbolt (others/60lmk) and all addons, phone loaded great. I then tried to set oc to 1200 in semaphore app, touchscreen to more sensitive and checked clean busybox. The phone worked fine, until I manually rebooted. At which point, it bootlooped and made backup of init.d and emptied it....great feature by the way!

Anyhow, does this mean that I cannot oc or am I missing something?
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
You can still OC if you reboot your phone before 2mins it will move all the init.d script to inid.d.ori which means all the script will not work when its on that folder you should wait for it at least past 2 mins to make them stay on the init.d now if this happen after 2 mins then i suggest to flash the 2.1.2 thunderbolt reboot the phone wait for maybe 3 mins reboot to recovery and flash 2.1.3 thunderbolt frankly im not a fan of the new feature but i know some people like the new feature stratosk will release an option to enable/disable it on the next update
[Captivate Android Development] martinomac:
Thanks for your tip. I applied the 1200 overclock as well as more senstative, did not check busybox cleanup. Then waited about 5 min, rebooted and changes sticked to init.d :) So either it was busybox cleanup or that I didn't quite wait the 2 minutes before.

Anyhow, this kernel is just awesome, much better battery life (lasted more than 24 hrs of heavy usage - unheard of with Talon) and responsiveness is far more superior. Well done!
[Captivate Android Development] martinomac:
Quick question, I see an update for BusyBox in the app market. Is it safe to update it or better to freeze or uninstall as from what I understand there is one in Semaphore?

Edit: Current BusyBox version: v1.16.2androidminimal
[Captivate Android Development] stratosk:
Sometimes additional busybox versions cause conflict with the Semaphore's bundled.

If you don't need it for a specific reason, I would suggest you to leave it as is.
[Captivate Android Development] gokartracer5:
If I flash this over DarkCore 4.1, do I need to disable the VooDoo LagFix first?

EDIT: searched the forum. looks like i don't have to disable.
[Captivate Android Development] stratosk:
You can flash it without disabling ext4.
[Captivate Android Development] dongfangri:
I find 1.91 for I9000 is out today and sounds good. when will it be avaible for cap?
[Captivate Android Development] martinomac:
Thanks for your response, I'm just not sure if Thunderbolt! requires it?
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
Nah thunderbolt dont need it even if the thunderbolt need it the busybox that comes with the kernel is ok you will be fine ;)
[Captivate Android Development] stratosk:
Most probably, will be available tomorrow.

Nice kernel !

Running 1.9.1c on Mosaic 8

It boots in 1/3 of time and very smooth so far....

Battery life is very good, about 2-3 % light usage and stand-by.

So far wonderful!
[Captivate Android Development] bkimbel:
I haven't rebooted since I installed 1.9.1cbm on Saturday night, but everything seems nice and smooth. I think I'm going to try to stay completely stock this go-around. No tweaks at all. I noticed a couple of freeze-ups with 1.90 after about 24 hours of usage ... might have just been big lags, but I was too impatient to wait and just rebooted. Haven't noticed anything like that yet with 1.9.1.

EDIT: Just tried Angry Birds. Zoomed out on the screen and phone became unresponsive. Screen timed out after two minutes, then wouldn't turn back on. Had to reboot with pwr+vol up
[Captivate Android Development] stratosk:
Can you reproduce it (I mean the issue on Angry birds) or it is random?
[Captivate Android Development] bkimbel:
Seems to be fine right now. I think the problem really only starts if the phone has bee running for more than 24 hours. Also, last week & yesterday I was on mobile data most of the time, and now I'll probably be on wi-fi for the rest of the week (working from home). Not sure if that makes a difference. I'll try again tomorrow and see if it' related to up time. Not many apps running other that Bubble Maniac, Gentle Alarm, and Moonreader. I just tried Angry Birds to see how it would work.

Anyone else having issues with Droidwall and Semaphore? Couldn't tell you when it started because I honestly don't use it much, but it HAD been working in past (previous ver) I am almost positive. Now when I and try to apply rules I get the error:

Error applying iptables rules.

Exit code: 2

iptables v1.4.10

iptables v1.4.10: can't initialize iptables table 'filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)

Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

I'm on Apex 11.1 , running Semaphore 1.9.1c kernel. I've tried Talon 0.5.1 and Darkcore 4.1 and both work with Droidwall fine, using the same steps.
[Captivate Android Development] dpaik:
when on semaphore....you need to go into Semaphore app and enable netfilter...that will allow firewalls to be used and mobile AP to also work(tethering)
[Captivate Android Development] stratosk:
Please try to set the LMK to 48 in Semaphore app.

64mb is supposed to be optimal for bigmem versions.

JVZ_2.1.1 for Captivate?

Just wanted to know if newest Semaphore kernal will be available for Captivates?
[Captivate Android Development] stratosk:
I don't know if it's kernel related. After many thousands of downloads on i9000, I had no similar reports. The code for captivate is 99.9% the same.

Yes, there will be available soon.
[Captivate Android Development] gokartracer5:
You are probably correct. I think i have an idea what is causing the leak in the ROM. I will report back later.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

Looks like it was a leak in one of the lock screen options. No more issues once i switched to another one.

Please be more specific about the lock screen options that caused it.

This kernel is what I am looing for. Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] bkimbel:
Just flashed 2.1.1c, and it's amazing so far. The only thing I can find to complain about is that I think the battery drain is broken. After 5 hours it's only dropped about 10% ... that can't be right can it? (joking! this kernel is amazing!)
[Captivate Android Development] stratosk:
lol After a couple of cycles of full charging/discharging it will be OK and it will be dropped faster! :D
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
Just flashed to 2.1.1c today and so far so good. I did solve my battery drain due to a leftover relick memory manager that I used pre custom rom days. 9.5 hours so far since unplugging and im at 55% left. im on exchange with push notifications enabled.

If you were on ext4, no need to do anything. Ext4 will remain after flashing.

You may control ext4<->rfs conversions using chainfire's app:

Hey stratos, lately I'm getting an error where I can't download apps that are over 20MB big from the Market. They used to be fine before. I'm trying to update Angry Birds Seasons and it just says I have insufficient space. Clearly caches don't help.
[Captivate Android Development] rquiett:
in the semaphore app there is an option to change the virtual cache to 50mb which should fix that for you
[Captivate Android Development] cursedwave:
Got a bit of an issue here.

Running Apex 11.1 and as I restart the phone after restoring some apps (only a few are having the data restored as well) it'll reach the lockscreen and then bootloop once more before actually restarting all the way. Or sometimes it'll just keep bootlooping (like it's doing as I type this).

I haven't tried this on RFS, but it's happened after converting to ext4 from the Chainfire app & also through having Talon installed before. I also have all the Thunderbolt! Tweaks added in. It won't loop if I enable the bootloop detection feature, but I really do like my init.d scripts... :(

Anybody have an idea of what could be causing the loops in the first place? :confused: I really do want to stick with Semaphore.
[Captivate Android Development] stratosk:
I've just tried and downloaded the game you mentioned. No problem for me.

Can you please post the output of the 'df' command from terminal emulator or adb shell?

Or post a screenshot of ext4 app showing the ext4 partition information?

If you have enabled the virtual cache option try to disable it and reboot.

If the phone stops bootloops after enabing the bootloop detection it means that something goes wrong with your scripts in init.d. Can you post a list with the scripts you are using?
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
I had that happen after flashing once. Turned out I had some conflicting scripts in init.d that needed to be cleared. I'm running thunderbolt also and had turned on some scripts from the semaphore kernel. They didn't play well together and the newer version of semaphore I upgraded to didn't like them at all. I know you said you like your scripts but try clearing the init.d first. It's also a good idea to reinstall thunderbolt after a kernel change anyway.

Sent from Mister Red
[Captivate Android Development] cursedwave:
Yeah, I emptied out init.d and slowly re-adding in scripts to see if I can find out which one(s) are giving me the problem, this time with bootloop detection on. Although I do typically leave Thunderbolt! for last whenever I'm setting up the phone after a wipe/reflash.

Edit

No luck so far. Just can't seem to figure out on my end what's causing the loops. :(

This is really weird. I can't understand how you can download other applications.:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] pontiacmn:
I got the insufficient space message but only after downloading a couple of the 10 cent apps. I cleared dalvik and regular cache and then could download again. Happened twice. Both times not until I downloaded 2-3 apps. Re-cleared both caches and downloading fine again. Just my 2 cents.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Could it be that the downloads are being stored in the Market cache and not getting removed after the install is complete?

I covered to RFS and then back to ET4 and updated Angry Birds Season. Went well. I haven't downloaded any other big games yet though so I'm not sure if it's a fix or not.
[Captivate Android Development] pontiacmn:
My wife's phone gave the insufficient space message. She is actually running fusion rom so no semaphore but I had her clear dalvik in titanium backup. It gave a message about no unneeded files in dalvik but was then able to download from market without wiping in recovery so no rebooting. Figured it might work no matter what kernel or rom. I'm running mosaic 8.5 with latest semaphore for what it's worth. Haven't tried clearing dalvik with titanium backup with my setup but if it worked on hers figure it should work on mine.

[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I'm sorry, but that's what you get on XDA... It's the standard here. Honestly, I apologize as I would normally explain why Quadrant sucks. But seriously, that is what you get on XDA.... These kinda BS answers. It annoys me too.

Basically, quadrant sucks because from what I read, you can get all sorts of scores based on the same hardware and software configuration and combo. There are better benchmarks out there but in the end, they are benchmarks. What you feel > benchmark scores. That's why for example, I don't care what kinda 3DMark I get on my PC. As long as I get a reasonable score that's standard, then I know my PC isn't glitching up. With quadrant, it seems I can't even determine whether my phone is glitching or not based on quadrant alone.

What do you think ?

[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Got my first "insufficient space" error when trying to update an app (Star Chart, just over 27MB). Figured this would be a good time to test the option in Semaphore "Virtual /cache to 50MB" so I checked that.

Now I get: Update for "Star Chart" could not be downloaded due to an error.

I've also tried rebooting and clearing /cache in CWM, neither helps.

Thoughts?
