With 4.2 and Semaphore 0.8.1, I'm getting a very nice ICS experience. My phone is lagging less than with MB MIUI, I love how everything works. Speaker is remarkably clear. Battery life is quite good. I've had better but it's okay, the ROM is still in beta so I'm expecting some more improvement on that.

So far: the ROM is perfect for daily use, I'm happy. :)

I should have mentioned in the original post but:

You don't need to uninstall swype to fix the problem. Just go to

Settings -> apps -> swype and clear the data.

And then don't try and add a new language to it (it comes with EN-SU and Spanish).

Hi guys, is it necessary to flash the kernel as the instructions said??

- Install Kernel

- Go to Recovery

- Clean Cache and Dalvik Cache and do Factory reset

- Install Main ROM from sdcard using "Install zip from sdcard" option in recovery.

- Install Superuser

- Install Kernel again :)

- Reboot

- Profit!

I had this strange thing happened to me just now. I was reading an ebook on my phone for like 2.5 hours and suddenly my phone went off. My first thought was that it would boot into recovery. Happened like 2 times before. This time it stayed off!! Second thought was to plug in my charger. It came back on!!! Almost gave me a heartattack.

Ics 4.2 devil 1.5 no ov/oc.

Chech out my scrnshot

Edit:

The 21 mins or so on battery is bull. Normally from reading an ebook, the battery would not drain this fast. Didnt had any apps running except adobe. Didnt receive low battery warning. It just went off.

Did you flash the ROM with a low battery by chance? If not, I could only assume it would be kernel related. That happened to myself once before, and that's what the issue was.

The way I see it - you have 3 options.

Move to a different area

Change telco

Change the radio on your phone

The first 2 are a touch drastic so I'd suggest trying a different radio. No idea what is best for your area though, so I can't help you pick a new one...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kathees:
Hi,

I'm very much thankful for your feedback. I want to highlight some points.

I always mention that my usage is quite hard normally :D. And that 4 hours you see is during the re installation of my rom and customizing my phone as I like. I hope you have read the bad experience I had during flashing.

Other things

1) I don't allow to run too many applications. Even I freeze the applications which I don't use quite often.

2) This one I should try and let you know ...

3) 4) I'm agree with you. I don't ever use Titanium backup for restore. I normally prefer applications with cloud. Like gmail for contacts, evernote for notes etc.

So anyway I'll try to do some tests like you mentioned. Actuaaly 8 hours of battery life okay with me since I'm practically sleeping with my laptop :D. So I can always charge?

I concern was why I haven't get the 24+ hours of battery life the other users are reporting.

Believe me last 3 months I felt a terrible experience with my previous gingerbread rom and after I flashed this I love my phone more than ever :). So if you are saying all those users using 24+ hours are not using their phone like I do (I sent messages every 15 minutes or so in whatsapp) I'm perfectly happy with it.

Thanks guys whoever involved in creating this great rom!!!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elhennig:
There is a possibility of that happening, but this does not necessarily occur. I installed RC4.1 and update to 4.2 without problems regardings /efs or IMEI respectively.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dom89:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elhennig:
The message was

which implies that the installation if this ROM necessarily destroys data in /efs which is not true.

I never doubted that some users faced data corruption in /efs. Of course a backup is mandatory! But this is true for every flashing procedure, no matter what you install...

usb host problem

First of all sorry for my english I'm french :)

I searched but I did not find the information that is a big topic :)

I no longer have access to my phone through the usb since the 4.1 update

I did the 4.2 update but I have the same problem

I only use a few applications and I never make a backup.

Every time I reinstall my applications

before each update : data wipe, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik

Can you give me an idea to solve the problem :confused:

i think it's a modem issue because before 4.1 i have JVT modem and now JVU

but I could be wrong :rolleyes:

Thanks for your answer

and a big thanks for this ROM even if i have some problem i love this
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dom89:
I do not think it is data corruption because you got a bloody new IMEI number.If it was corrupted you would have no IMEI number I guess.

I already flashed so many roms with no problem.

Also I noticed that MAc addresses are changed from original. Is that data corruption too ?!!

I can't believe it.

If somebody can tell which files contains BT and Wifi mac addresses so I could make backup too.

This rom or any other ICS rom doesn't work with Google Maps 6.xx. You need to install Google Maps 5.xx.

I was on Maps 5.0, updated to 6.3 when update pop up, and it works without problem. On the other hand, Beta Chrome Browser Force Close and is not working. I changed kernel to Devils 1.0 and added Samaung framework to be able to install some Samsung apps like their market.

Are are you having the problem using the mass storage mode, adb or are you using USB host mode?

I had a problem with Devil 1.1 kernel and adb not working anymore. No problem with Semaphore 0.8.1 however.

The first time my problem occured, I solved it by wiping caches and fixing permissions (that was on 4.1), but the second time on 4.2 this did not help and I fixed it by changing the kernel.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] n99flake:
Good thoughts man.

If the first 4 hours were you setting up etc then wait till you've had 3+ battery cycles in ICS and you may get some moar juice. My avg is 12-30 hours depending on use, so i hope you at least get 12!

One last thought, let you battery drain completely, leave it for 10-15 minutes with power off, then try and turn it back on. If it comes back on with 5% or more battery then let it drain, and go again until it really won't turn on.

You could calibrate battery but i don't think its worth it, just ensure its flat then charge to 100%. I'm sure you know the drill!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sdpinsens:
to fix usb connectivity (usb mass storage), try this step:

- download "Android Terminal Emulator" (by Jack Palevich) from android market and install it to your device.

- connect your device with PC by usb.

- while it's connected, run emulator, and type: su and enter, and then type:setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb enter.

- disconnect usb, reboot your device.

- your device can connect with PC now.

Too be honest it does sound like you have a damaged SD card.. I think your the 1st one to mention that problem in this thread..

In terms of network.. would recommend using ODIN to go back to Gingerbread then re-flash RC4.2 from scratch.. Dont worry in terms of losing apps etc because we will most likely have to wipe when the next release is out

I did have a friend who tried this rom out and couldnt get any signal unyet had the right modem and had backed up/restored his EFS but couldnt get it to work..

If you have no luck then there are about 4 other I9000 ICS roms on XDA you could try

Guys, I got problem with slow USB transfer(writing to device speed). I flashed semaphore because USB Host wasn't working on Platypus. With Semaphore USB transfer was max. 1.5MB/sec. Now I flashed Devil 1.1 and it's 4.5 MB/sec but for me it's still slow(on first page there is an image that shows ~9MB/sec transfer with USB cable).

Is it problem with kernel or with ROM?

Where can I download Platypus kernel?(I don't want to flash the rom again, I can but won't it make much mess?)

I'm on RC 4.1.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] matthewgwilt:
Arguably you should stick to the one that comes with the ROM and ask any other questions in the specific kernel thread...

Said that... I have tried all the kernels and have gone back to the stock rom because it seems more stable (flash 4.2 again and dont wipe data)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HugePotato:
~around 5.6MB/sec on stock RC4.2. Gonna stick to it then.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Alwayas:
it's not a specific question... but a general question on which kernel work better on that Release... (4.2) anyway... i have tried all too... but... i'm not a pro user... so... i don't know if i have full configured fine...

example... with the semaphore kernel... i'm not able to configure it well... and... as the stok kernel too... it's lag...

now i'm on RC4.2 with Devil_1.1_BFS_LED2_VC... for now work fine... but... my battery drain... and i feel like GSM don't work very well...

feel the same for the USB and the GSM... but... i have no compare terms for say it for sure...

anyway.. TNX to ALL! :D

Sometimes it reboots the hole phone, and sometimes it reboots into recovery.
