Hi buddies,

I like to thank all of you for taking this idea of a 'donations day' and fill it with life! You are a GREAT community!

Please don't forget: Many of our devs are not high rated software engineers working in big companies... most of them have to fight for their real live - doing here just to entertain themselfes and sharing their work to maybe have a little benefit.

Imagine, if you are real rich and able to, would you like to share this things for free - or would you prefer to have a real unique phone for yourself...? Would you develop for such an old phone?

Don't forget them, it's Eastern time right now!

@ STRATOSK

Would be nice to know if you got back the money you spend this way :hope:

To all donators, to all devs here in xda, to all people who can't and at least to all the guys who don't want to donate

FROHE OSTERN!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
S version works on any rom as long you flash the modded libs too (search for 720p patch) if your rom doesn't include it already (like Slim or Mackay).

If you already have modded libs installed and it's only YouTube that gives error try to flash the patch again,it usually solves this.

@stratosk

Hey mate,

have you ever thought to port a sema version to sgs2?

There isn't even one kernel that "reaches" simplicity and features of sema....cm10.1 is also supported there....I think you would also make a little "fortrune" there...and also semaphore kernel would be the most "vip" kernel there:)

Of course I don't know if this would be a very difficult project or not, I'm not an expert, you are the EXPERT on this, that's why I'm asking:)

C'ya
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Hi,

I would need a device to do that. I don't want to release kernels, untested by me.

But, maybe in the near future Semaphore will hit other devices. :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jugster:
Re: [KERNEL] Semaphore JB 2.9.18

How much is a fortrune? If you have read the last couple of hundred messages you'd noticed that this isn't exactly a well paid job. Also you would have noticed that time is not available in abundance with family and everything. Also it doesn't strike me as Stratos goal to be the most VIP developer, please correct me if I'm wrong.

With that said, the first thing you should do if you want a phone supported by your favorite developer is to send him a development phone. The second thing is hope for good luck.

If both of these requirements fail to become true you are unfortunately out of options.

Signature? Signature!

If I would have paid some attention I would have noticed that this already got addressed. But since I feel that the previous answer, as always, is too nice, I feel that explaining it a little bit more is necessary.

Because noop is a very simple fifo scheduler, causes very low CPU overheads and is quite fast on solid state devices.

Thanks hit
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
You could check current lux and other values in Semaphore Manager app.

Please select from the menu Display kmsg.

If you don't see related values in kmsg, I suspect that something's wrong with the module loading.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 99x:
Re: [KERNEL] Semaphore JB 2.9.18

SpiritFM uses the radio module directly, or something along those lines, so the setting in semaphore manager is not used. The audio quality should not be affected
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AusMatt:
Re: [KERNEL] Semaphore JB 2.9.18

Spirit FM dynamically loads the module so you don't need to tell Semaphore manager to do so.

Run lsmod from the Android terminal after running Spirit to see that this is the case.

I am getting great data speed with default CM kernel but nothing beats the smoothness of Semaphore for me hence wanted to flash it but also don't want to risk losing this speed. Guess I'll stay with default one then.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ts1506:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prbassplayer:
Ya module =/= disabled. And although you might not use it, the rest of us do :p. I've personally never understood why have logger as a module and off by default, I get the theory behind.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
:)

I don't say anything else until I have it in my hands.

UPS already did a mistake and the package is in exception status. They said that they will fix this.

Of course, this was not my friend's mistake, but for some reason this phone don't want to come to me... :)

Maybe for some extra RAM. But I have to check if there is a significant benefit removing it.

Logger is built as module and off by default, because I think the majority of people does not use it.

I use it only for debugging android.

I also rarely use last_kmsg. I can enable it again if something serious comes up.

Why do you need this? Do you face kernel crashes?

Of course is just an idea. I don't know if I will finally do this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prbassplayer:
Of course not, at least on normal use, but I don't do "normal" latetly on my cappy since its a test device now. Your kernel is rock solid probably the best for the sgs family. And I've personally never liked the logger off by default, but I know this is a personal preference. I just don't see what would be to gain from totally disabling last_kmsg. Again I know this was just ideas and what not hence why I asked as to why. Not trying to pick on anything or anyone just wanted the reasoning behind it ;)

why is it saying update_br to 2, and it still sits on 15 afterwards?

this was taken mainly in a perfectly dark room. elixer2 reported ~5 lux (it won't go under 4 for some reason)

minimum value is set to 1, so it should be about 1-2 brightness, but looks like it was stuck on 15 for some reason.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rmsinaga:
Hi stratosk,

I just wonder why you didn't wanna get Samsung Galaxy S4 or HTC One as they are the cream of the crops of current smartphones. Then you can create a kernel that can make them better.

Any specific reason?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alb3rtt:
Samsung and HTC are HORRIBLE community/dev support wise. They may have the best specs ( well Samsung does) but they also have Bad aosp support, no/little source code and you wait months for a buggy, slow and broken ROM that's not even the latest android version and is full of bloatware. Have you tried rooting and flashing a HTC? It is such and pain in the a**. If I get a new phone, it will probably be a nexus since they are cheaper than all other new and high end phones (around 300 australian dollars brand new) , have the best community support (maybe not better than our i9000 :p ) and they always get the latest updates with no bloatware and bugs. If I don't get a nexus, I'll definitely get a Sony device since they are helping the community by uploading new source code and even alpha versions of upcoming ROMs so that the community can test it and have some input.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] grinder777:
