Well, what do you know - I flashed 1.2.5s via ODIN and the phone booted up just fine. I also flashed the G apps. My IMEI is there too. Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try and I'll report my experience some time later.

@el_navijitha

Is there any way to unlink the notifications and phone ringtone volumes? This way I can use some profile based apps to set different volumes dependent on the time of the day...

Please help..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Swilly:
No worries, happy to help :D

Nandriod backup isn't essential, just a 'get out of jail free card' option in case of problems with the install. A nandroid backup is just the backup facility in CWM/Recovery mode :)

After a whole week of use, a feedback : Everithing is working fine.

I'm impressed by the very good battery life, as good as my previous gingerbread ROM.

For games, as an exemple Angry Bird is running with no lag, I had some on gingerbread (using also semaphore kernel)

I installed DICE player to read mkv as stock player doesn't seem to use hardware acceleration on ICS, and it works fine

I use GO launcher because i'm used to it, and absolutely no lag.

Updated Kernel to semaphore 1.2.5s without any issue.

Thanks again, I was afraid to try ICS, now I wouldn't get back to gingerbread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bankaiii:
What you mean by different speaker ?

I tried other roms ICS and I still no sound.

When I receive a call no sound out

When I want listen a mp3 no sound out

I have to plug headset to heard the sound.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rahlp:
Your external speaker/ringer is broken. My went kaput just in the second month of use.

My went off while using skype. And it never worked. So get a new speaker installed.

Thanks a lot for this ROM. Its very stable, fast and amazing battery life.

I just have one single problem: if I switch to 2g, the only way to get back to 3g is by rebooting. Any workaround for this?

Hello everyone

Someone is running semaphore 1.2.5? I'm tempted to install it but I don't want to break anything in this awesome rom. Any feedback will be appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cr4zy.b0y:
before trying with recoveryfix.tar you can get into CWM and try a full wipe and reflash. if you can'y get into CWM use the fix file.

for each of tho solutions i recommend FULL WIPE and REFLASH!! for instance, some time ago after flashin a kernel my home button stopped working -> full wipe and reflash solved it :D

I am under 1.2.5 for 2 days now.

I have a problem twice I did'nt have with previous versions.

I sometimes can't unlock to answer phone ! I then must turm the screen off then on again.

Other than that all run fine for now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Skroif:
I have had the same problem here. Twice I had to turn screen of and on to answer a call. Besides that it runs fine (maybe even a slightly better batterylife)

one thing left to do: go stock gb with odin and try again;) ... if this doesn't work i have no more ideas :( ... follow all the steps in the first thread after flashing stock rom , it MUST work :angel:

by the way, how long stays in bootloop? it reboots after few minutes? or it keeps going and going?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dighbr:
haha will you believe me if I say that I had already tried that too? I stayed for three hours trying that the day before yesterday :(

I got different situations, but when I got boot loop after flashing semaphore again, it kept rebooting..

I'll try the recovery fix thing, I'll tell you if I succeed! thanks

Battery

love the ROM but its a massive Battery Drainer. using Juice Defender in Extremem mode, turning off all auto sync and more i still am lucky to get through a day with minimal use. Last rom lasted 2 days with full use.

Love the rom but thats a deal breaker for me, ill check again another time if thats been fixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] adytum:
You need to go through a few battery cycles before concluding, or post some battery stats, because stating that this rom has worse battery life in itself than other ICS roms, is simply false.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thaidroid:
It must feel good to have a unique phone:D, this ROM has excellent battery life on most other 9000's. Joking aside you must have an app eating your battery install badass battery monitor and it will tell you what is causing your drain.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cjd198383:
Thanks for the tip, i will try a few cycles. I dont know about the "false" statement though, my powerless phone certainly is not "false". will run through some cycles and see how it goes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cr4zy.b0y:
tried for few days CM7.2 update :D ... it's as fast as your rom BUT battery life sucks :D !!! reverted back to your rom :) ... best so far :cowboy:

PS: someone said that touchscreen was unresponsive when tried to answer a call ... same thing happened to me on all roms (once or twice) so it's not a rom related issue :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Skroif:
I had this before to. Then I flashed a totally other rom which I didn't like at all but I just got sick and tired of my phone bootlooping. Then after a few days I decided to give ics333 another try (because I really love the rom :D). Since then I never had bootloops again. So maybe the solution for you could also be to installe another ics rom and then flash ics333?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cr4zy.b0y:
Good point, I would recommend flashing CM9 and then this one. sometimes strange things happens. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] adytum:
I meant that there simply has to be an app or process draining your battery. If not, you'd be the first person here to report bad battery life. :)

I have a suggestion for the next release:

At the moment you are required to set a PIN/pattern lock in order to use the ICS VPN - the reason for this security restriction is not quite clear to me. Can you enable in a future relase to set up VPN connections without the need to set a PIN/pattern lock?!

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] O-T:
Let's say you lost your unsecured phone having set VPN and Exchange access to delicate information your employer explicitly told you NOT to leak.

Guess you'll be looking for next job after this brainless act. ;-)

Device administrator restrictions are designed to survive ROM flashing to restrict access to secured information.

And compensate for human flaws.

Happened to me once, solved it removing the external SD and rebooting the phone. Haven't tested to put it back as the sd card wasn't mine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] allblackt:
For me it works fine (RC2 as well). I see both internal and external SD cards. Check if you have Fast charge ON or OFF (with NSTools). That might be the root of this issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mardurhack:
Does Automatic Brightness work *correctly* (not randomly or stucking on one level only)? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] el_navajita:
Well, I don't really understand what you consider the correct behaviour, but I will explain how it works, which is the way Google has designed it. The brightness starts at the minimum level and rises up to adapt to the external light, rising up to the maximum brightness if necessary. Once certain brightness level has been reached, it doesn't go down. If it changes, it is because it goes up. Once you lock the screen, this process is repeated (with the brightness again at the minimum level).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pierral13:
Ok thanks, I will check that and how to move /datadata to /data/data.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] allblackt:
When I was on Samsung GB ROMs I noticed the same process but the other way around: brightness starts at max and then gets adjusted and it kept adjusting it every few seconds depending on ambient light. On this ROM the brightness only goes up and never goes down. I tested with a lamp. The screen got way brighter under the lamp and after I turned the lamp off and covered the light sensor of the phone, the brightness didn't go down as it did on GB ROMs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] el_navajita:
That's exactly what I said, but it is not a feature of this ROM, is a feature of ICS :) I don't know if you will be able to find a different behaviour in other ICS ROM.

Regards!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kabracity:
Thanks! You're one of the most active and supportive rom developers I've seen around ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mardurhack:
Thanks! I thought it was a rom-related problem. Infact I enabled the auto brightness from the semaphore settings app (I flashed the semaphore kernel over the rom) and now it works correctly (even if it completely ignores rom settings now). So I guess there are two ways of controlling brightness: one is rom-related (works badly as stated above), the other is kernel-related and works as expected (the brightness dynamically adapts to the surrounding environment) because it completely overrides and ignores the android parameters.

EDIT: Yay! I didn't see the latest changelog! Thank you for the brightness fix! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] allblackt:
Awesome fix :) Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kabracity:
Anyway RC2.2 fixed it, so you can rely on rom brightness control and its notification bar.

As for BLN, when switching kernels or reinstalling them sometimes I have to re-enable BLN to make it work properly

I really am hating this, got the encryption error and phone rebooted and now i am again stuck on the semaphore screen and adb isn't responding so cant enter recovery or download. ahh

I think before i could enter recoveyr via adb due to debugging being on, after the format the debugging would have been disabled right? Caz adb isnt respoding, this isnt even my phone, please help..

man ... you are the third guy with the same problem :p , but I will say the same "poem" again :P ... get in download mode and

1)flash recoveryfix.tar from previous posts (about 3-5 days ago, dont know exactly, use search function) and then enter cwm and flash a kernel; if you dont flash a kernel from CWM phone won't boot (remember that this is just a fix, NOT a kernel)

or

2)flash with odin semaphore kernel

Got an issue that I fixed before with a clean flash from stock GB. After a few days of uptime(10 in this case), I wanted to boot recovery and flash another modem. I never got to recovery, just into a bootloop. Last time I had this issue also happened after a long uptime of the phone. Any ideas?

Seems like flashing the latest semaphore (1.2.5, no s) .tar fixed the issue :|

Devil kernel doesn't like this ROM for some reason.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] olszan:
When you wipe dalvik cache being on Devil's kernel you may get yourself into trouble - CWM will break and you get boot loop. I'm on newest Devil and have no issues with phone at all.

I'll keep semaphore for a while and see how it goes, though I liked Devil better because of the flexibility.

Is that a general Devils problem, or specific to certain set-ups - Governer etc ... I only tend to wipe Dalvik when flashing kernels anyway, and havent had an issue when doing the wipe followed by a Semaphore kernel flash immediately .. but worth monitoring ...

wipe data for the app
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] olszan:
I guess it's a Devil's general problem and has nothing to do with settings whatsoever. I wiped dalivk cache when was changing kernel (upgrading Devil's kernel version to be precise) and got into bootloop. I didn't know there's CWM fix and had to flash from scratch via Odin. Only did that once - never had enough time (and courage) to do that again when upgrading Devlis kernel :P Perhaps this issue is long gone but leave it to someone else to try :silly:

What advantages does devil have over semaphore?

BTW: Devil kernel have graphic file explorer in recovery.

Anyway - this is best rom i ever seen!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] adytum:
It's not at all only cosmetic differences, though I'd rather use the word difference instead of advantages.

Devil has way more customizing optipns, but these are a lot more advanced to use than the semaphore control app. Devil idle, swap, zram to mention a few. Logically, more things can go wrong too, semaphore is more minimal with the most important features controllable in an app.

It's all about preference, devil if you want lots of tinkering and options, semaphore if you want only the most important functions and stability.

Phone crashes when using Bluetooth to listen to podcasts

I recently installed ICS333 and am loving it. One problem has arisen, though. I quite often to listen to podcasts using the BeyondPod app and my Bluetooth headphones. Today, I have had three crashes whilst doing this (and not touching the phone at all). The sound stops and the phone is completely switched off -- I have to hold the power button down to restart it. On average I'm getting about 10 mins of listening before it crashes again.
