I noticed that Semaphore Manager voltages go down to 850mV.

As my phone handles without issues 750mv at 100 and 200mhz, would you be so kind to lower the minimum voltage in Semaphore Manager from 850mv to 750mv?

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
It looks like the high "radio" cell standby battery drain is caused by Semaphore, and not the last CM11 builds. ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51396675&postcount=362 )

Here's a screenshoot in stand by with and without Semaphore:
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
^^

Any users still using Semaphore and Vibrant? How's your standby battery drain?
[Vibrant Android Development] dzee206:
20% battery drain over night running du v6 with semaphore 3.4.3 sv due to cell stand by. thats with my good battery and not my water damaged one.
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
"Phone idle" battery drain keeps being high with CM11 April builds also.

If development has been halted, maybe we should consider closing the thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] stratosk:
???

I don't understand why 'we' should consider closing the thread...

If you feel that the development has been halted or something you may stop visiting the thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
Well, when one reads those 3 posts you wrote on i9000 thread, and when the T959 thread looks deserted because 99% of the users probably moved on towards more modern devices and can't confirm nor deny the battery drain issue, it'd be fair to think that development has been halted (there wouldn't be anything wrong in halting it).

It was just a feeling, considering that countless ROMs and kernels have been silently abandoned over the years, hence the use of "if" and "maybe".

I'm sorry if you felt offended... it wasn't the point of my post at all.

[Vibrant Android Development] stratosk:
Yes, it's a fact that most users moved on to newer devices. And it's also fact that I said that it's probably is the latest version.

It's fair for you to think anything.

In my opinion it's not fair to suggest that 'we' should close the thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
If future upstream CM changes break compatibility with some kernel, then the users should not be allowed to download such kernel, if it's not maintained anymore. Closure of threads helps users to avoid downloading something that could be out of date, buggy (ie. battery drain) or even not compatible anymore (ie. see the CM team changes some weeks ago).

By the way I made my point... it was just to warn future users. Nothing against you or anyone else. Take care.

edit: the use of "we" is meant to indicate "us" the xda community, not you and me alone. I don't know why you're stressing that part of the post. Let's put it as "you", if "we" bothers you.
[Vibrant Android Development] stratosk:
Users can experiment with every kernel they like. Maybe CM broke compatibility, but someone can use and older version of CM.

More over a thread should remain open (IMHO) in order to be able to report such bugs or issues.

Of course, I also don't have anything against you. :)

If I will feel that XDA community want my thread closed, I will immediately push the 'Close' button (thanks to XDA I have that privilege)
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
I appreciate your clarification. Excanging (very) different points of view is always a positive thing. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Up to this post the v version of this kernel is the only kernel which doesn't break my Vibrant's video capabilities (YouTube, etc). It does work with 4.4.4 so far. Although sometimes I worry since the kernel hasn't been updated in months, it could cause issues, I hope not. Many thanks, [MENTION=3750240]stratosk[/MENTION]
[Vibrant Android Development] dzee206:
pretty much every 4.4.2 kernel still works on 4.4.4 except for fluid. yeah i agree though hope fully no major kernel changes happen any time soon, or else we're gonna need new kernels.
[Vibrant Android Development] iyahman:
Hi all! I have compiled the semaphore kernel with the latest cm11 commits and latest linaro 4.8.. If someone want here is the link! Just changed the kernel name for no confusion.

https://mega.co.nz/#F!mAQlwKoI!0ZkmGfLrgXqMUs8MMoy1FQ
[Vibrant Android Development] epicboy:
Can anyone post a mirror to iyahman 's kernel builds?
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Huge thanks!! :victory:

EDIT: WARNING! This kernel, since it has newer commits than the 9/9 CM build by sada23, it breaks all signal and data on that ROM...and I suppose the same applies to older ROMs. Use a newer built ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] epicboy:
I think that our device can't handle linaro 4.8, can you make build this with linaro 4.7 please?
[Vibrant Android Development] iyahman:
well, the post above yours tell the kernel work. And if it work with 4.8 I don't see a reason to downgrade to 4.7

I don't have a vibrant to test.. :(
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Well, I advised a newer ROM due to newer commits and it breaking signal/data but that does not mean I tested it on a newer ROM. I'm still waiting for Internet installation at my new apartment (tethering atm), so I haven't been able to download a newer ROM. I shall try everything and let you know by then.
[Vibrant Android Development] epicboy:
I built a Rom with the sources from the fifteenth if this month. I shall update the Rom and test out to see if nirogou is right about the problem being newer sources.
[Vibrant Android Development] iyahman:
ok guys, sorry for missunderstanding,
[MENTION=5562721]epicboy[/MENTION] I wait for your test before make a 4.7 linaro build because I think and hope the kernel should work with latest cm11 rom
[Vibrant Android Development] epicboy:
I just tested it with my new rom update. I still got a phone force close. Please if you can use linaro 4.7 to compile this great kernel :)
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
I second [MENTION=5562721]epicboy[/MENTION] 's request. Pretty please? We've very few (one) kernel developers. If you update this one as you did but with 4.7 linaro, then it's a secure must have. Many thanks for your efforts! [emoji4]
[Vibrant Android Development] iyahman:
job done it's uploading, just have revert the commit for 4.8 linaro and build with 4.7.

[Vibrant Android Development] epicboy:
I just installed the 4.7v on spirit rom 1.4 and still, I'm getting phone force closing. Am I supposed to use sv for that rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] iyahman:
the s version is the huge memory version like before..

maybe I have do an error in my source, iam updating the recovery right now, will take a look at my kernel source to see if i have do something wrong
[Vibrant Android Development] epicboy:
Yeah, I think that your build might have messed up. I've seen other devices similar to ours running kernels compiled with linaro 4.8 and O3 optimizations with no problem. Try cleaning out the output folder and rebuilding without interrupting it.
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Hello. Any progress so far? :)
[Vibrant Android Development] iyahman:
Yep I have restart from beginning, updated kernel and recovery to 6.0.5.1 and have enable the swipe feature on recovery.. All is OK on my I9000 But have a problem with aromafm which not work
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Aroma File Manager, you mean? Ah, I can do without it. Looking forward to it! Thanks for your time and efforts. [emoji1]
[Vibrant Android Development] epicboy:
Aroma isn't that big of a deal. I think you should release it and don't worry about the aroma fm.
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Any progress so far? You can drop the aroma stuff if it's bothering. It'd be excellent to see your effort bringing better battery life to us.
[Vibrant Android Development] iyahman:
Hi ^^

Here are new build of semaphore kernel compiled with latest cyanogen kernel change, updated initramfs and CWM updated to v.6.0.5.1 with touch enabled

in normal and 's' version

compiled with linaro 4.7 or with 4.8.

the aroma cwm shortcut doesn't work.

like before just changed the kernel name for no confusion.

keep a working kernel zip in your phone for reflash, just in case as i don't have vibrant variant to test.

https://mega.co.nz/#F!mAQlwKoI!0ZkmGfLrgXqMUs8MMoy1FQ
[Vibrant Android Development] epicboy:
I just installed the 4.8 version over my latest spirit Rom and so far no issues or force closures. Thank you!
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
V version with Linaro 4.8 running like a champion here. I also do not have force closing or any issue whatsoever. It is excellent so far! :good: I made a backup just in case but I'm pretty sure I won't need it, we're in good hands here! Many thanks, this is the first up-to-date custom kernel in about an eternity for us! :victory:

Edit: Also very nice touch with the Touch CWM to avoid wearing out the buttons! Works smoothly!
[Vibrant Android Development] iyahman:
Iam right now with kernel compiled with linaro 4.9.. And work fine.. So Will share this evening ^^
[Vibrant Android Development] iyahman:
semaphore with linaro 4.9 version :

https://mega.co.nz/#F!mAQlwKoI!0ZkmGfLrgXqMUs8MMoy1FQ
[Vibrant Android Development] epicboy:
I just installed it and im already seeing a lot of improvement. thank you for your work!
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Which improvements? Speed, RAM management or something else? I'm using the 4.8 version.
[Vibrant Android Development] epicboy:
Speed. Especially my keyboard. Swype used to lag a lot and take a long time to appear.but I'm seeing a lot less lag and faster draw times. Also scrolling is smooth and doesn't chop up with me anymore.
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Thanks for the info. Already downloaded. Once I get home, I'm gonna install it. Gotta breathe new life into my 4 year old Vibrant!
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
After flashing latest sada's CM11, [MENTION=3384506]iyahman[/MENTION]'s Linaro 4.9 V kernel and Haveged (along with all animations at 0x except Animator Duration at 0.1X to avoid the dialer pad bug)...this is the fastest and most responsive I've seen this device. I also changed the governor to Interactive, scheduler to ROW.
[Vibrant Android Development] iyahman:
Can I ask you why you don't use the 's' version ? You don't have the feeling you need more ram with normal version in our good old phones ?
[Vibrant Android Development] epicboy:
I remember that it was only for slim Rom.. am I mistaken?
[Vibrant Android Development] iyahman:
Mmh Iam speaking for the i9000 galaxysmtd.. But the s version can be used on cyanogen ! As I use it since many years now. You Just have to flash the bigmemorylib to not break video. The zip is on mega folder ! Give a try !

Slimrom is based on cyanogen no ?! ?
[Vibrant Android Development] epicboy:
I'll test it out later today.

Slim is based on AOSP for the majority and considered separate from cm.
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Because whenever I used the kernels developed for the SlimROMs (sv) I lost internet video playback. YouTube videos nor any video that required Internet worked. I read it had something to do with Bigmem, flashed that and still had the issue in my unit so I decided to stick with the normal v versions despite less RAM.

Edit: I could still give your bigmem flashable a try once more. I will once work week is over.
[Vibrant Android Development] dzee206:
Damn it... Just my luck, a new kernel to play with along with spirit ROM getting updated to 1.5 and I don't have my vibe. This sucks lol.

sent from my sweetened CandyKat SGH-I717
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Wait whu? lol, what happened to your Vibrant?
[Vibrant Android Development] dzee206:
Passed it on to my wife since she effed up my old line with Verizon which was grandfathered in unlimited data, she used my upgrade and got stuck with 6gb of data. She's big on streaming her Thai movies so unlimited data is a must have. Plus I got sick and tired firing up pdanet for her so I told her she can have my vibrant if she jump ship and on top of that I just want to get her back into android. She's a crapple loving itard haha, so sick and tired of seeing those p.o.s devices in the house.

sent from my sweetened CandyKat SGH-I717
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Lol got it. Here's hoping you get this new kernel on her unit! It runs very well here.
[Vibrant Android Development] epicboy:
ok, I just installed the s version. No issues with video playback, and RAM is 396MB. Isn't that what it was before???
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
On some units (like mine) it gave issues, internet videos wouldn't load. Only the loading circle would remain. I've yet to test this S version as I said on my previous reply.
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
[MENTION=3384506]iyahman[/MENTION] - So I tested the SV version with the bigmem flashable and nope, videos in YouTube would just get stuck with the loading circle. Even with bigmem turned on in Semaphore Manager. My phone just hates bigmem. Once I restored the nandroid with the normal v version, all is well now. I got the same results with another kernel almost a year ago so this is not a surprise for me. Maybe that's why devs tend to release two versions, because not every phone can handle bigmem well.
[Vibrant Android Development] iyahman:
And with slimrom you have these problem too ?

S version with bigmemory activated = 408MB

normal version 384, with bigmem I don't remember

S version 396, with bigmem 408
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Can't answer because I do not use SlimROMs since KitKat. I've used CM, Spirit ROM and L-Droid, but I'm back using CM as it has been the most stable function-wise. It's okay, Vibrant still feels truly snappy/responsive when I combine your custom kernel with Haveged. Once more, thank you. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] RudeBwoy:
I tried the normal version with sada's latest CM11 and performance wise the kernel is great but for some reason whenever I try semaphore, or semaphore based kernels in this case, I get significant idle battery drain so I'm back on neatkernel because it gives me the best performance/battery life balance so far.

I guess this is why we need more than one developers to give us different options because your kernel works for other people but doesn't work for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] iyahman:
We still need developers for sure ! In my case I'm not but I try and learn with me good old galaxy s.

For the kernel it's strange for me semaphore was and is the best for battery life, and with oc to 1140.

Did you tried with a fresh clean install ? Or check something with betterbatterystats ?

As it's not my main phone now I have only ~15apk installed but but absolutly no particulary battery drain or deep idle problem
[Vibrant Android Development] RudeBwoy:
Yep, I always do clean installs. I guess it's just my device but I've always had a battery drain problem with semaphore even when i try to undervolt in S manager.

Kernels made by or based off anything neobuddy89 makes always go well with my device so its no surprise neatkernel works this good, I can OC to 1400 for a good while before getting a forced reboot and 1200 without any problems
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Quite the opposite here, in fact, including battery life. Neat breaks video capabilities (YouTube, etc) in my device. The dev says it may be due to CMA in his kernel. He was to make a non cma kernel but... sadly no results yet. Hopefully someone knowledgeable volunteers as a kernel developer, otherwise, KitKat could be our last version for custom kernels.
[Vibrant Android Development] RudeBwoy:
really? video playback is fine for me both videos on my phone and streaming, in fact I'm watching a video right now sound and everything is fine
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
That is why YMMV when it comes to custom kernels. Some phones can tolerate some stuff that some do not.
[Vibrant Android Development] RudeBwoy:
Yeah that's true. Its kinda weird to consider but all of our phones are equal on paper but they're all different in their abilities its as if they have personalities like us. Just like you and I, we may achieve the same things using different methods and our phones do the same thing but they work better with different kernels.

Lets just hope they don't start talking and take over the world by mass producing themselves and taking control of everything :laugh:
[Vibrant Android Development] dzee206:
[MENTION=3384506]iyahman[/MENTION] any chance of a mirror? my old vibrant doesn't play well with mega, not even on the site or the app for some reason.

Edit: never mind got it up and running. So far so good no complaints from the wife, now just need to update the ROM to something newer.

sent from my sweetened CandyKat SGH-I717
[Vibrant Android Development] iyahman:
If your wife is satisfied, This is cool!! ?
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
So far your Linaro 4.9 version has been the smoothest I've seen. Hands down way better than the default CM kernel. Great job! :highfive:
[Vibrant Android Development] epicboy:
Do you think it's possible to compile with linaro 4.10?
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
You...you...you're gonna make my Vibrant explode! Lol.

yessss push those limits :D :good:

[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
[MENTION=5562721]epicboy[/MENTION] and everyone - I found out the only way to make Semaphore Manager really stick is by converting it to a system app either manually or using Titanium Backup. Now I see the Interactive governor I selected on Semaphore Manager in Performance Settings.
