Hello!!!

2.9.17 is just to test a new brightness heuristic!

Plz read the posts of the last few days...

If you like to keep it, set min brightness to 75.

They are checking the values to find a good formula - be patient and stay with 2.9.15

can I take semaphore S version for helly bean? I would have the possibility to activate bigmem if I need. Normally I will use semaphore S version with disabled bigmem, so that everything function.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Necromancer3:
don't jump to conclusions.

when i set the brightness settings it stayed very dark for a long time and i thought maybe startosk made some mistake and it always outputs a constant value. but it started responding just as i was about to give up and post it broken.

still tweaking the max_lux value to see if i can find a sweet spot.

sat my min_brightness to 1 and so far i don't have any problems. didn't test it outside though, ill probably do so tomorrow.

well, under less then 10 lux brightness 1 is just fine. yes it looks very dark at first, but after using it for 5 minutes you get used to it and it saves battery. the screen is the most power hungry part of this phone so getting it to low values is important IMO.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Yes, it's a little bit dark in low external brightness, but I think it works OK generally.

I will test it more in day outdoor conditions. Maybe I will support both functions (linear and parabolic).

I only know you from this forum, but you strike me as a person with too much patience and humility. You have a nice reply to even the most insane or repeated questions.

With that said, if your idea of a friend is one that takes your money, even for medicine when he or she has specifically promised to do something with it, you need to rethink your friending strategy.

I hope I am wrong and all these weird circumstances are just that and everything fixes itself just after this message has been posted.

If not I would hope you make this person known, so that he or she can be cast out from this forum and preferably the entire Internet.

In my mind, you have nothing to be sorry about! This is YOUR thread. You are the most kind person on XDA. You answer n00b questions with grace, you stop the "flaming" with tact, and understanding. You give a lot of your time to us, and you saved my SGS1 from the garbage.

And now, well after three months, you still have no N4, you still hold your tongue as to who this guy is. AWESOME control. You should be proud my Friend!!

I would also had believed him Stratos (at good will) IF he had informed me, as soon as he had to spent the money and could not deliver. The fact that he was silent (aka disappeared) for a long period without notifying you about his "intentions" and replied only after your "continuous" (?) questions like "what happened...", tells me that he is a scam. In order not to make it easy for him to find more victims, you could reveal his name or (even better) if he has the guts, he could speak out himself either in this or another thread saying he regrets for what happened (you could advice him to do so ;) ) This would prove(?) that at least it was not in his original intentions to cheat on you...

Ok, i have (maybe a dumb) question: is it possible to install the camera apk with a standard resolution of 480? (yes, i forget to change 720p before flash the S version of semaphore :D :D )

Re: [KERNEL] Semaphore JB 2.9.15

What that's it for the donation frenzy? You guys are funny...

sent from CM powered SGS
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HenriFred:
No problem for that :

In Semaphore Manager (from Playstore), uncheck Bigmem (in Tweaks).

Then reboot : you can then open camera and choose 480p.

If you need the extra mem, recheck Bigmem in Sema Manager and reboot.

Also, I really appreciate what you're doing for the community, I've been using your kernel ever since I first installed ICS on my phone and I'd love to send you some money, but I'm only 17 and really low on cash right now after buying my very own N4, I'll try to make up for that at some point in the future though! :)

Stratos my friend, we owe you big time for everything you've been doing for our SGS for many years now.

Like I said a few weeks ago, I'm headed to the USA in just about two weeks and I'm planning on getting a new phone there. Besides the amazing SGS4 (not developer friendly) and the HTC One, both haven't been released for sale. I was considering getting a Sony Xperia ZL LTE (VII band). What do you think of that Sony device? I'm kinda shooting in the dark here, hoping that people will eventually and officially develop CM 10.1+ for it. I'd really appreciate your educated opinion on these devices? And yes, there's also the LG N4... It seems to be a great phone but without Micro SD card... It's a definite no for me.

Just want to say - you deserve it - I used your kernel on GB, ICS, and now JB - it is my 'go to' kernel and I recommend to it everyone with an I9000 or my phone (the T959D). Off topic, but echoing what others have said - you are great on this thread and highly supportive and a key reason I still have my phone and thus far have not had the urge to switch to an SII, SIII, Nexus, etc. :) It is shameful what this person whom you entrusted your hard earned money with did, and I hope this donation helps a bit.

Wish there were more like you - its amazing that so many people would buy their next phone based on what you buy as they would know it would have amazing support - a great compliment - not only for your technical know how, but how you treat people. I know I don't *know* you, but my impression is that you are very good person.

If you have enabled bigmem and rebooted and didn't set the recording to 480p before, you will get an fc when you go into recording.

The deference between two version is the available memory.

For CM10 use the normal. Of course you may flash the hugemem libs and use the 's' version in CM.

Other ROMs (like Slim) include hugemem libs, so you may flash directly the 's' version.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
No direct relation between the 2.

Data=writeback means there is no specific order between data writing and metadata writing, so metadata can be written in a "lazy" way after the data has been written to the disk.

Barrier=0 disables the usage of write barriers. Barriers enforce ordering on journal commits.
