Hello! If Facebook is draining your battery, then freeze Facebook, uninstall it or send complaints to them. Your images do not reveal any ROM bug, but the opposite.

I'm sorry but I can not make third-party apps or screen to drain less battery, it's absolutely out of my hands and the hands of any ROM developer.

Yes...Since the beggining that official Facebook app drains very fast the battery...the solution I have is to use Friendcaster...very light and with many features...try it !!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] el_navajita:
That problem is not related to the ROM at all. That is simply a problem with the Gmail app or a temporary problem with your Google account. Try disabling and enabling Gmail synch in your account settings, clearing Gmail app data or force it to stop and open it again.

Hey el_navajita,

How about using devil kernel on next releases?I heard that it has more RAM and better battery life.

THx...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zimbilik:
I got the same reboot when installing. When it came back to semaphore CWM it was broken like yours. So I decided to come from JW4 instead of JVU (different CWM interfaces). Worked like a charm.

I also have the Gmail problem. Even if I use wifi it won't sync. I tried clearing data, uninstalling. I checked the sync settings and it was unchecked. I checked it and mailed myself again. It kind of worked but it was late. I'll try it for some time and let you know.

Another issue I personnaly find not good is that there is no "only show people with numbers" option on the Contacts menu. Is it possible to add it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] monkey450:
ok last night I set up my hotmail account on the email app and android os went upto 32.

I removed the account and android os is going down.

also when opening gallery I get "failed to open albums please try again" but. it works perfect ?????. no biggie still the best rom by far.

any ideas what you might do for rc4

many thanks for your hard work and time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] el_navajita:
Maybe I include it in next releases. It doesn't provide more RAM and it is not proved at all that it has better battery life, but I'm testing it right now. Anyway, you can flash Devil now if you want, there is no reason to stay in Semaphore if you don't like it.

For the next release I will fix the bug of the silent toggle and, if someone helps me providing useful log information, those reboots that a few users are suffering. It is possible that I also add the option to change between stock and numeric battery indicator.

This thread starts to look like a team icssgs.

Why people do not read OP post

I use ics333 from the first edition without any problems

Navajita please do not change anything because this rom is better than all the ROMs on XDA

Keep it fast, simple, easy and AOSP

Thank You
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] monkey450:
I have installed many rom and never had reboots I think it is when people use titanium backup to restore there apps - there backup could be from a gb rom witch is not the same as ics from what I have read in xda

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rekatluos:
@ the "idea" to change to Devil Kernel -> just DONT . Indeed it looks like the battery is better,but the RAM is better on semaphore than on most of the kernels out there .

An idea for RC4 would be to make the battery life longer and also im having a problem with some apps (mostly games) . I install them,download all files and they just Force Stop or exit . (For example MINECRAFT pocket edition force closes at startup and FIFA 12 starts and closes imediately after the " checking update screen" ,without any force close message or anything ,i must also say that this happens AFTER downloading the files needed through wi-fi )

If anybody has a fix for this id appreciate it . (keep in mind that i wiped before flashing RC 1.... and then DID NOT wipe when updated cause the developer said its not needed ,though i think some apps force closed even when i clean installed the rom )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BoBoGrEy:
Very nice ROM...but I have one request...I don't know if u can...

I really like the combination of ICS with Semaphore but I enjoy one thing about Devil Kernel that is the choice that we have to have better wifi signal... Can u do something about that in your ROM? Is it ROM related? Or do I have to change to Devil?

Thanks in advance...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ilabs:
I've always used a numeric battery indicator.. Anything else is just not adequate! :D..

I did some more testing, even calls don't take that much battery.. seems its the display.. no problem..

Thanks for your efforts.. :)

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

Hey,

Yeah its a pretty common issue with many ICS roms. Just backup your efs folder in jvu using any file manager with root access like ES file manager. once you flash the new rom, overwrite the efs folder with your backup efs folder and restart. And you have your IMEI back!!

You can even use nitrality app to backup and then restore your efs folder. Saves the hassles.. ;)

Cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] monkey450:
( I have lost my IMEI ) I have never had this and I look after 3 i9000's and have flashed them all way too many times - by the way they are all on this rom now.

did you convert the file system back to stock before flashing or did you forget and had the file format system on ext4.

I think this is what does it and flashing back to stock rom also puts the format system back to stock - witch give you back your IMEI.

I think you can go back to ext4 format after flashing this rom even though I have not done it (fast as is)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] el_navajita:
I have never lost my IMEI and I think that I can get the World Guiness Record of flashing: D The trick that brings true EFS back when flashing the stock ROM is not the type of file system. Samsung has achieved to regenerate it from hardware when you flash, the fact that Samsung does not use ext4 is not relevant when we are talking about recovering IMEI from hardware.

My tips for a bugless rom.

convert back to stock file format using (cf-root ext4 v1.3)

reboot into recovery and wipe everything (full wipe/cashe and delvic)

flash rom and then gapps and reboot

do not use titanium backup download from market or from sd card only

I think titanium backup is most peoples problems.

one or twice reboot your phone over a couple of days while you do charge cycle

done now - no bugs - no reboots - no bat drain - phone will be the best you have ever

had it.

Hello! Well, make battery life longer in RC4... :) Believe me, if I knew the way to make the battery last longer I would have done it in the first release :) Doing that could imply reinventing Android.

Regarding FC on games, I can't tell about FIFA because I don't have it, but I can say that Minecraft works flawlessly in my phone. Now I'm using Devil kernel XL, don't know if it crashes with Semaphore, but it shouldn't.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gelidhril:
I must say that this is the best ICS ROM i ever used, fast and stable. Congratulations!!!. I dont have any issue at all, just one reboot just after flashing it the first time and then just SMOOTH AND LOVELY.

I was checking the battery life behavior and its pretty good, after the second charge cycle. But would be good to check the Display and the battery use, i think its using to much battery.

That graph is in a regular use scenario, doing some calls, recording a couple of videos, some pics using whatsapp. etc. AHH and i bypass the Auto Brigthness and leave it like in 20% of the slidebar.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] psyqiq:
so many people are giving advices based on little knowledge, even if they are well intended it may lead to confusions instead of clarification as for which is which and what is best to flash or use.

the soft reboots are not rom related, neither kernel related, with the exception of messing with voltages or governor-scheduler combos.Yes this rom seems to require some specific steps in order for the flashing to be clean and properly done, as i`ve tested myself.For example after you flash it you may experience a phone encryption issue at first boot.Also you may experience other "obstacles".I`m going to make a very clear and straightforward tutorial on how to properly flash this rom, i`ve done it for Team ICSSGS as some of you may already know, so i will do it for this rom because it`s really worth it.This rom is a piece of art.

Expect it soon, in a couple of hours.

Cheers to you people and to the dev.Well done!

Nice to see people appreciating and supporting such a wonderful rom.

Let`s simplify things shall we? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] el_navajita:
Well, if there is something whose battery usage can't be reduced is the display :) Just try to reduce the brightness and not turn the screen on if it is not necessary. This is the price of having a nice 4" display :)

It seems that your display has been turned on during a long while so, from my point of view, your battery life is appropriate.

here's what says in devil's thread: "- added the possibility to switch between wifi PM_Fast and PM_Max mode (Pm_Fast = better signal, PM_Max = better batterie, default is PM_Max)

echo 0 > sys/module/bcmdhd/parameters/uiFastWifi (pm_fast)

echo 1 > sys/module/bcmdhd/parameters/uiFastWifi (pm_max)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gelidhril:
Yes thats why i post the graph, the battery life was almost 21 hours in a normal use. This ROM is a piece of art congratulations for this great work Navajita. And yes thats what i did, i disable the auto brightness and place the slide around 20%

Hi guys, I haven't been flashing for a while now and tried to install this rom but I have a problem, my phone is stuck on the loading screen(the colored squares) I waited for like 15 mins since it was first boot after flashing but still not doing anything. What can be wrong? I was on the last darky's release, so about 6 months old gb 2.3.4, I did factory reset + dalvik cache wipe + cache wipe, then flashed the zip file of the rom, which put me in a bootloop, but you said it was normal and it was because after removing battery I didn't have the orange cwm but the blue(5.x) version. Then installed the zipfile again, which was succesful, then the gapps(succesful), en then rebooted and this is the result.. infinite loading...

What can be wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] el_navajita:

I got some soft reboot but it is totally random, does there is way to run a logcat from the phone itself?

I can use 'logcat > /sdcard/logfile.txt' from the terminal but if I do so, the phone will never go to sleep?

Any ideas on how to inspect this problem? There was an app on old cyanogen rom to report bugs like that, that would monitor everything...

Anyway, this is a good rom, keep it up.

Note: using semaphore with smartassv2 governor may be the cause of soft reboot as I figured it messes up music playing while in sleep. But if true, then it is kernel related. I am now using ondemand governor, deadline scheduler, lock max frequency, gpu lock and deep idle and no soft reboot for 7 days.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] el_navajita:
When you execute the logcat it throws all the log since the phone was turned on or hard rebooted. So, if you have not still rebooted the phone, execute that command, wait a minute and send my a PM with a link to the file you created.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zimbilik:
Nope it's not there for me. When I open contacts to display. It's not there. Nor it is in display options.

Seriously I really loved this rom. The Devs attitude and the smoothness of the rom.

I couldn't agree more.

I'll be willing to send logcat if I have softboots. First I'll have to learn how to do it though. But that's why there is google =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gelidhril:
The regular way is to download a terminal emulator from the market and once you run it execute the following line from the command line:

logcat > /sdcard/logfile.txt

that will put the logs into a text file called "logfile.txt" in your sdcard, then you can send that info to the developer.

I Saw some apps in the market but i never tried them, maybe you can try "SendLog" from Neil Boyd.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] franklin01:
I ll pm you whenever there will be softreboot, but for the moment everything is fine, and I already rebooted from last SR...

edit: as we are using semaphore kernel, think about enabling logging in semaphore app and reboot after otherwie you wont get anything

That's simply awesome! Thank you very very much! I am going to update the OP to include that link.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] el_navajita:
Well, it's quite straightforward that something has prevented your phone from going to sleep. You can see that because the awake time is much higher than the "screen on" time. What process is the guilty? That's more difficult to answer. Attending to the second screenshot, it seems that something that is synching is waking up your phone frequently. Someone reported before that the Email app is quite drainer, are you using it? Have you been synching Google photos or music? Anyway, I suggest you to reboot the phone just to be sure that if some app got stuck it dies. Then, a while later, check again the battery stats in order to verify that the awake time is just slightly higher than screen on time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] el_navajita:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] franklin01:
Just got a softreboot, I sent you a PM.

I think it comes from smartassv2 governor as I didnt got any SR since a week using ondemand governor, can someone confirm this?

How to reproduce:

Select smartassv2 governor,

Use your phone heavily (play games, etc...)

Activate/desactive BT and wifi 'for fun'

Wait a little...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] el_navajita:
Thank you very much! I will analyze it tomorrow in my computer!

Just flashed RC3 over RC1.1 without wiping anything. All went perfectly.

Didn't loose anything.

You say that in RC3 we can choose Camera storage loc. How do you do that.

When I go into parameters. I see that resolution is 5 Mpix and storage is internal SD. But nothing is selectable to change.

Any clue ?

Again, great job !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] allblackt:
Feedback for RC3 (Devil2_0.72_i9000_CFS_BLN_CMC_XL_20120419):

The good:

-GPS works flawlessly, tried with iGO and Sygic

-Wifi tethering works very well, nothing unusual spotted

-Fast charge does a really good job

-USB transfer speed peaked at ~12 mBps

-Battery life for me is at ~2 days

The mildly inconvenient:

-All music players (Mort, Meridian) I tried failed to register as default players for headset-clicks (the default and only headset button). The button worked after the process of the music player app was started. This was present in ELITE roms, I guess it might be a compatibility problem with ICS and these apps. Anyone got a suggestion for another music player with headset control which is capable of playing music by folder?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] el_navajita:
In that settings menu there are '<' and '>' symbols around the current storage. Touch them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] franklin01:
Nope, nothing modified, I did a full wipe when flashed.

The only thing I changed is in semaphore kernel app, I used this settings:

Governor - SmartAssv2 (right now using ondemand as it doesnt softreboot)

Lock min scaling frequency

Scheduler - Deadline

Deep idle

(Logger for logcat)

TouchWake - 45sec

Low memory killer - Mialwe

Sd card - 512/64

Touchscreen - chainfire

Got some app installed but nothing critical, modem launcher and everything is stock.

I can try to create another soft reboot if you want.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] el_navajita:
Not necessary, don't worry. Just a question, you extracted the logcat just after the soft reboot or after a while?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] franklin01:
After 5 minutes.

Search for this line:

"intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED mOtasp"

There is one at the beginning wich is normal boot, and another one near the end wich is the soft reboot.

Here is a hint on the error code:

latest version of semaphore may work for some people, but for some it doesn`t.It has been reported by many people on the semaphore thread that 1.1.1 version is buggy.Semaphore screwed up something in the build, even if it`s not very obvious.

Im running Devil and all is working fine, this is how i do it as explained in Elite rom and i added a few steps that i think its even better.

In CWM

- Run ultimate_kernel_cleaning_script_v4_by_lippol94.zip

- In advanced, run clean NStools options

- In advanced also, run clean init.d directory

- Install Devil Kernel

- reboot CWM (now using devil CWM)

- run clean NStools options

- run clean init.d directory

- wipe dalvik cache

Reboot system
