Actually, I think that this was made to save some space from multiple backups. I think the tar backup is faster. Also, please note that you can manually free space (there is an option for this) and you can determine the backup type. So, if you keep always 1 backup at a time maybe it's more convenient (at least you can try) to select tar backup method.

Hi stratosk, I just sent you a pm about a feature, when you get time check it out.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Yes, I think something is missing from the kernel. I will check it.

Thanks. I don't promise anything. But I will also check it.

Wow! my todo list is growing fast! :) New semaphore app took all my free time...Working on it 8-10 hours/day.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] upichie:
Right right, it saves space not speed. Sorry about that! Long day. What exactly is a tar backup? I only ever keep one backup, so if it's better for that, it should work better for me.

Thanks for the correction Stratosk.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
tar is the archive utility in Linux world. You may choose the backup format from recovery->backup.

Please also note that this affects only ext4 partitions (/system in our case)

Hi Stratosk, just updated my slim bean rom to 2.3 and semaphore still kernel by default and this is so nice.

However i have one issu, HD video playback is not working anymore, even videos on youtube app are not working, Rom devs says that when they synced with CM recently there was a change and it's affecting how the kernel acts with video playback, and they confirmed that videos are working with Devil last release.

Please Stratosk update as soon as you can, i'm loving your kernel and can't switch to another :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] awandroid89:
Thanks for your hard work and sorry for wasting your time for our old phone...

If we dont have you and other remaining developers this phone maybe died long time ago... :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Are you sure that this is kernel related? Because mnazim just posted a fix. Anyway, I will asked in Slim's thread.

You welcome. Don't be sorry.

Except from the fact of too many hours working on this project, I really enjoy it.

@all

Allow me a little of topic discussion.

I have thoughts to make Semaphore Manager (the name of the new Semaphore app) a paid application (with a very small price in my opinion) and keep HM.Carbide's one bundled in the kernel.

I really think about it a lot to make it a free app. I really want to do this, but honestly I need to find economical resources to continue this work. I'm pretty sure that making new app a paid one will not fully cover the working hours, but maybe it will help.

Please share your thoughts about it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] strickyy:
It's a good idea. I won't be able to contribute, as I don't posses a bankcard that would allow me to buy anything from the market, or donate but I'm sure others won't mind busting out a few bucks to thank your amazing work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheeWolf:
I wouldn't mind, you deserve it anyway, but will there be a difference between your app and HM.Carbide's app?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Skkip:
I would be happy to buy the app :) its fair to give s.th. back to the developers

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9000 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Maddmatt:
An optional paid app sounds good to me. Nothing wrong with making a bit of money when you've put in the work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] H-Body:
It's a really good idea, Stratos!

With the script manager everybody can configurate the most important features of your kernel. So no one gets an "incomplete" kernel.

And those one, who want to support and give some kudos to you, can buy the app :)

Some other ideas:

- perhaps you can provide the app in other markets? In germany for example we have a community called "androidpit", where you can buy apps via PayPal :)

- Or you could integrate an activation per key? So people can donate the price of the app and you send them an activation key.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superkoal:
You'll get either a donation or I'll buy your app (or both) :)

Don't know if there are people that would donate more if your app was free, but I don't mind.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jens1969:
+1. Would love to buy your app and give something back for your time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Yes, this is one negative point of a paid app.

Yes, it will be totally different from HM.Carbide's one. The logic will be different. It will not be based on init.d scripts.

Thanks for your ideas.

Someone can always use init.d scripts to handle kernel's features.And Semaphore script manager will always be bundled to the kernel to help on scripts.

I think it's too early for me to think about other markets. And I don't want to "protect" app with activation key.

If someone feels OK to copy and use the app, it's OK with me too.

Edit: I was thinking the price as €2. I think there is not reason to protect app for €2.

If the new app is purely an improvement over the current semaphore app, sounds great for everyone then.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eejee:
I would not mind paying for it. Just wondering how this would affect Slim Bean, which has your kernel. You could consider an ad supported version as well.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
As long as you make it open source, would gladly support it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
I don't think that will affect Slim or any other ROM that includes Semaphore. Semaphore script manager will remain bundled in the kernel.

This is an interesting idea. I'm fun of open source software, but I don't know how making this open source will serve my purpose.

I will say it cleanly. I need funds to continue and expand Semaphore project.

If I make an open source app that everyone can freely redistribute, I wonder how many people will buy my distribution and help on this.

@Stratosk: For the time you spent on Semaphore and always been so helpful. I won't think twice to support your work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Thank you my friend!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
Open source, not free software.

I think you could still restrict binary distribution, if you wanted. It would still be your software.

Of course, others could fork it and/or build it, but in the end, those would be the same ones that would try to get a copy for free.

Either way you do it, I think you'll have support from the community.

(Hey, I even bought this crappy xda premium thing just to support xda, even though I already had the crappy tapatalk think)

Although the Portuguese prime minister just announced he will take 1 month salary/year away from me and my kids, maybe I'll still have some spare change to keep supporting some projects...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Yes, I know that someone can sell open source. But, I'm not aware if you can restrict distribution. Though, I'm not an expert on licensing.

I also bought xda app to support xda and also did this (or donated) for other developers.

I know what you mean. Only my taxes, was about 2 salaries this year.

@all, I'm really sorry about this discussion about money. I really hate it, but I need to find a solution.

My friend,whatever you decide you will have my support.

Many regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] qtekker:
I have donated to you in the past, so I'll be glad to buy your app just to express my thanks for your great work. You have a lot of fans, so I'm sure many will see the purchase as a kind of donation.

I have an advice to you Stratosk. You always answer every single question. There are a lot of senior members in this thread who can answer many questions. Maybe you should leave the 'simple' questions to them, and concentrate on the difficult ones. This way you can spend you valuable time better. Just a thought...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] malcho:
Forgot to write about open source licence.

Here is the example.A two year ago my friend and i make rdp thin client,and i found out i cannot sell it butt i can sell support for that.

I know that if you use open source software you have to release a code back to community.

Butt if you create your app from beggining you can sell it without problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
Thanks so much!

Thank you my friend, for all your support!

Thanks mate.

I think every member helps in this thread. I just try to help when someone asks for it, as soon as I read the posts and if the question is not answered. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stratosk:
The new app is fully built from scratch.

I know that I can sell it even if I open the source of the app. But can the redistribution of an open source software be restricted?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
Honestly, I'm not sure it can, and even then, someone could just fork it and release a version.

I think the most common models for commercial open source companies is charging for support or charging for additional closed source features.

Anyway... First do it closed source and then, if you have the time and disposition, and if you find a suitable solution, open the source.

It's not like you are even one of those ego driven characters out there that like to hide stuff and not help fellow developers.

;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] malcho:
I'm not quite sure.People who release paid apps in market don't release source code right?

I also would like to know this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bhu1:
U can make the app a donate version. That way u can open source and even sell.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RestarTmen:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yahyoh:
sorry u can't do that with open source i tried to search about that but all open source licences don't restricted redistribution :(

imo u shouldn't make it open source , maybe u can do free version with ads and less options and paid full version

thats just my thought :o

2 or 3 bucks will not hurt anyone to support the dev's hard work

Don't feel bad for talking about money! You have a huge following and I, too, will gladly donate. You have spent an enormous amount of time making our devices better; all of us appreciate it, and I'm sure most of us that can will donate.

All that being said, I don't have a credit card to purchase apps from the Play Store. Maybe you could enable us to purchase the app via PayPal? The Titanium Backup developer allows this, and I have happily purchased his app this way. If you could figure out how, I will gladly buy the app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] folkg:
I love the idea of open source. I would gladly pay for it if you open sourced it. Many people don't know how to build an app from source anyway, I don't think that would take away much from your revenue.

Semaphore 2.0.6s is running rock solid on my newly installed Slim Bean 2.2 for the last 2 days and that means compensation of some sort is required. ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zatta:
About your app, consider making it with advertisements, that can be removed by an in_app purchase. That way you can make it free but make a little money, and gives the opportunity to have multiple donation prices, say 1, 2 or 5 dollars that all do the same: remove the adds. It even gives the opportunity to donate more than once, once you have bought an app it is impossible to buy it again.
