Odp: [KERNEL] Semaphore JB 2.9.13

@Stratosk

In your kernel, the voltage is automatically adjusted by increasing frequency of live oc right?

But after incresing it to for example 114 or 120% the voltages tab in semaphore manager shows the same values as with no OC. ;/

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
My comments:

- if the phone _feels_ snappier to you, I don't know what to comment about. :)

- I dropped in-call volume settings from Semaphore because they cause distortion in sound (IMHO).

- No plans to change CWM at the moment.

Furthermore a little secret: SAI can be used in any kernel. It's not kernel related.

Yes, I guess there is a bug there. You need to 'read system settings'.

Re: [KERNEL] Semaphore JB 2.9.13

Tried Mackay too, l have to agree my phone does feel quicker maybe because l can oc which is something l can't using live oc l wish there was a semaphore without live oc just the old way of oc ing .Gone back to semaphore though because its the best imho.:)

Re: [KERNEL] Semaphore JB 2.9.13

Hi stratosk, please tell me more for the secret of SAI, I want to use it but when I installed semaphore manager with Mackay kernel my phone behaves strangely (2-3 minutes after boot it reboots and I had to flash Hellybean rom again to make it work).

I like very much your kernel but I have GPS problem with it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superkoal:
GPS is not kernel related.

The strange behaviour you experience comes from semaphore manager interfering with your other kernel's management regarding frequency, voltages and other settings. You can try to apply the settings manually again a minute after boot, maybe it helps, but would be only a temporary workaround.

Hi Stratosk,

it is time to say a BIG BIG THANKX to you in the name of the whole community here!

You are doing a GREAT job for us and our sooo much old phones.Even at your birthday you are sitting at your PC to give us a most up-to-date kernel.

So many other devs take benefits from YOUR work - I'm not sure if our phone would be so alive without you.

We are really appreciating that!

THANK YOU!

Re: [KERNEL] Semaphore JB 2.9.13

If you over clock try to reduce OC. Also perhaps setting lower freq to 100 might help
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superkoal:
As usual check following things:

1. you did not mess around with frequencies/voltages (over/underclock, over/undervolt)

2. you did NOT enable deep idle

3. if this happens after a rom update clear your cache + dalvik cache

4. try with "lock lowest frequency step to 100 MHz" enabled and disabled

If all of those things fail clear semaphore manager settings from recovery.

No, i don´t think so. Either you have 409mb ram OR 720p recording. That´s the point of the hugemem patch, because the 13mb more ram you get are normaly reserved for 720p recording as far as i know.

Re: [KERNEL] Semaphore JB 2.9.13

Hi stratosk,

I attached my SAI settings. My observation when I laid my phone on the desk facing up, the first vibration when I got a phone call is always strong (value for proximity near), then the subsequent ones are as defined in value for proximity far.

Is this normal? Kindly advise.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superkoal:
I guess stratosk uses the broadcast intent for incoming phone calls to trigger the action.

So if the first vibration happens before semaphore manager receives this broadcast there is nothing one can do about this.

I developed a similar application with custom vibrate patterns for desk/pocket and i face a similar problem on some phones/roms.

The only thing one can do is executing the code for setting the intensity as the very first thing after the broadcast is received, but I think stratosk already did this ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rokostar:
AW: [KERNEL] Semaphore JB 2.9.13

Guys how do you use the SAI feature with proximity near and far? I dont know what to do with it. It use the proximity sensor. For me it is better if it use the accelerometer or only look after display if its on or my phone is in my hand i dont need a strong vibration when i get a phone call. i belive the S3 has a similar feature. If you get a phone and pick your phone rhe vibeation go down.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beint:
Re: [KERNEL] Semaphore JB 2.9.13

Near means in your pocket, laying face down, etc.. Vibration intensity high value means that you have a stronger vibration, which could be useful when phone is in the pocket.

So the described scenario is correct.

Hi Stratos,

I would like to know, what do think about to swap for our phone?

My first android-phone was a huawai x3 - just 160Mb RAM and really laggy with all my apps. At least it got stable when I gave it a partition to swap to.

When I got the old SGS of my good wife and plugged cm9, the kernel supported to swap too, but that did not work really well this time. I know, linux like to have a swap-file, what is different to android? I got a new sd-card and made, beside an ext4 partition for my apps, again a swap-partition - just in case. Your kernels does not support that and I'm sure you have reasons. Could you explain why it's not working well?

md p9516 - root -waiting for cwm -- thnx2all
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Hi,

Please check if the BLN option in Semaphore Manager is selected.

Hi,

Many people claim that works OK. I'm sure your will not have major issues if you use swap.

Android uses Low memory killer driver that frees memory when you need it.

I try to keep Semaphore simple and minimal. I don't want to add additional overhead using kswap.

My first change to kernel, (when I built first version) was to remove some unnecessary stuff.

I don't say that swap is 'unnecessary stuff' in Linux kernel. But I feel that Semaphore is OK without it. So, no reason do add it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AndroidBR:
Re: [KERNEL] Semaphore JB 2.9.13

OT:

Stratos what's going on my dear friend!

The other day I found myself thinking hard about the next successor, to replace my beloved Samsung Galaxy i9000 which I've had for almost two years now and it's been nothing but a great experience to own. All thanks and praises due to the CM community (Pawit and the rest of the gang) and YOU, with your bloody brilliant kernels (GB all the way to JB).

I've read it here several times that you've purchased(?) a brand new Google Nexus 4, and I was puzzled, trying to find out why you ended up settling for that particular phone as your new device, to own and develop a new Semaphore kernel for.

Me, personally still could not find a decent successor for my i9000 due to some very specific needs... More specifically: external storage and removable battery.

As I'm just about to head to the States for my 3 day, recurrent simulator training I was thinking about a decent shopping list (full of electronic goodies). I seriously considered a N4 and besides the horrible move by LG to make the device with a shattering-prone glass back, there's also the absence of both the external storage and removable battery. So that phone is out of the picture for me since, in a sense, it feels more like a downgrade than an upgrade to be honest... So I thought about your 'N4 move' one more time and said to myself: Why didn't he choose a Samsung Galaxy S III?! Isn't it a better, all-round phone?

I'd appreciate if you could give me a thorough , educational answer (when you have some spare time) if you may, in order for me to understand the underlying reasons for such decision.

Thanks mate! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alb3rtt:
Im going to give you my answer to that question. Yes the S3 is a better all-round choice but due to Samsung being the biggest ***** on this planet, there will be problems with source code and aosp. (Just like this device did for the first year or so). Nexus devices take no work to get CM working on them and they will ALWAYS get the latest updates straight away. Samsung makes you wait months for a half assed broken rom that is still behind the latest android version. Due to the lack of source code, it also takes a lot of work to get it working well so it may be the better choice for an ex iphone user who only cares about looks but for dev's and us enthusiasts, its just not good enough anymore. The Sony Xperia XT looks like a solid choice IMHO. Sony is being a lot more cooperative and it has everything i need and more.

Hello my friend!

I'm trying to be OK. How are you?

alb3rtt, covered my main reasons that I decided to purchase(?) N4.

I want to contribute to Linux kernel more actively, so I want a vendor who really really have open source software.

Though, I'm not so sure that I will have a chance on N4.

If I could buy a phone now, most probably would be N4 or Sony.

Few months ago, I expressed my opinion for my new device and asked people for help to expand Semaphore through a new device.

Now, no new phone and I feel that somehow, dissapointed Semaphore users. So, I don't want to promise anything again.
