Re: [APP] Semaphore Manager 2.3.0

I had this issue after running Secdroid and could only solve it by uninstalling that app. Reported this in the Secdroid XDA thread, but no response.

Stratosk, what do you think is the best set up for semaphore to run on a JB powered sgs-i9000?

I'm asking because I feel that the freezes and shut downs that I'm getting depend on kernel settings. In fact, it only works smoothly (or so it seems) at 1,2ghz when I enable the ROW scheduler. don't know why and i'm not really capable of manipulating voltages/governors profiles/etc.

thanks

Try with only 114% oc first.

Sent from my SGS Classic

via banana split.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Suomi_Stokr:
Actually I'm at 114% and almost everything runs smoothly -still some lags though.

And, my battery drains way too quickly. I had to charge it last night, than again around 1pm today (to 100%) and now it's back to 3%. very low to none use.

How can I fix this?

Re: [APP] Semaphore Manager 2.3.0

Go through all your applications one by one and disable any notifications they may be doing.

The regular checks that apps do stop the phone from going into deep sleep.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tsatomas:
Re: [APP] Semaphore Manager 2.3.0

Did you check the battery for media scanner time?also look in dcim folder if you have many thumbnails, just to be sure that your battery drain is not from this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Suomi_Stokr:
How do I disable their notifications? I go to settings>apps and when I open them one by one I can only see what they do on the OS but can't negate them.

No thumbnails in dcim folder and battery consumption for media scan is (if i'm reading the right one) 5%

do you think I should enable the deep idle option?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Suomi_Stokr:
so I enabled the deep idle and I keep getting misterious shut downs. The device gets so deep into sleep that I have to remove the battery and put it back in to turn it on again

No. It's often the cause of many SOD (sleep of death).

It seems that the hardware feature only works properly on some devices and I've heard that Samsung didn't use it in their I9000 ROMs.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] superkoal:
He's talking about android.permission.ACCESS_SUPERUSER, which does absolutely nothing, but is considered as "good manner" by some people. (The superuser app gives you a warning about this). But as said it doesn't have any functionality. It's just shown in play store and maybe (didn't test it) marked as dangerous by google. This is why i won't add it to my apps as long as it is not required.

[MENTION=3750240]stratosk[/MENTION], could you add a setting to set min/max CPU frequency? The one in cm10.1 doesn't stick after reboots for me. It goes to 100 min and 1000 max. I'm not sure if this is a ROM bug or due to the semaphore manager however this option could be use full for users on ROMs like super nexus that don't have an option to set min/max cpu frequency.

Edit: it is a semaphore manager issue. Without semaphore manager or nstools installed, it sticks. with nstools installed it sticks but with semaphore manager installed it doesn't stick...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] superkoal:
Obviously it doesn't stick because semaphore manager sets the values you selected in it's settings and get's started later than the system settings process.

So you can either uninstall semaphore manager or re-apply the settings after every boot atm.

i don't know why you would want to set the min frequency to anything else than 100/200 MHz?

May Frequency can be set via the OC slider in semaphore manager.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] alb3rtt:
Min frequency at 400 works a lot better for me compared to 100 or 200 and I don't lose much battery life. Also, this feature could be useful for AOSP users who can't set min/max frequency any where else.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] stratosk:
The purpose is to 'support' fast charge. Not to enable it. You have to enable it at your own risk, so you have to enable explicitly using ROM's settings (in some ROMs) or with a widget.

Your request added in my TODO list for future versions. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] superkoal:
I really like apps with a lot of functions.

It would also be very nice if it was selectable if the app applies settings for a specific thing (e.g. an on/off switch for each tab like in dev or profile options in slim system settings).

What i mean is if you support bln for example i could switch this module off in your app if i would use blncontrol pro.

This always has been a thing i didn't like about nstools when i only wanted to control voltages, but it also applied all other settings on boot.

Hi stratosk,

I tried to tweak SD Card Read Ahead value to 1024kb or others from default of 128kb, but after that every time I pressed Read System Settings it always goes back to default value which is 128kb. Is it normal? Can you check on this?

If you hit read system settings it reads the values set in the system settings, so it overrides what you set via semaphore app.

You can use NSTools (free) or the fast charge widget app (paid) from the market.

I don't think that I will use this logic (at least at the present). Maybe in future versions.

Read system settings, leave some options (sampling down factor, sampling down max_momentum, read ahead) in their default value.

I think I can change this behavior for read ahead.

Stratosk Hello, sorry if I write here, but as a new user, I can not write to kernel threads ...

Report a strange behavior related to kernel 2.1.0, with its installation is almost inpossibile make phone calls: The phone rings and then falls communication, or communication fails after a few seconds of conversation. I can not explain this behavior, the component machine should be only weakly bound to the kernel, but try several times to reinstall the 2.0.6 alternatively, that always works well, and 2.1.0, that always works evil, I checked the constancy of abnormal behavior.

Too bad, because the 2.1.0 for the rest works perfectly, very fast and with consumption declined substantially (at least 20%) compared to 2.0.6. (Samsung I9000, ROM Elitemovile JB RC12.1)

I hope we can monitor and troubleshoot ...

Nobody reported something similar. I don't know if it's kernel related. Maybe a fresh installation could help.

Reading system settings restores default values for sampling down factor, sampling down momentum (because they are dynamic tunables) AND SD card read ahead values. As I said maybe I will change this for SD read ahead in next version.

Hi Stratosk,

Thank you for your app. I am on Slimbean 2.4 with semaphore 2.1.0s and your manager works. I have two questions: when I flashed your JB kernel the first time there was Semaphore manager 0.75 embedded. I used it for setting semaphore features. I have just installed manager 1.0 and now I have two managers on my phone: What is new in v 1.0 in comparison with v0.75? Should I uninstall the 0.75 version? A last question: I have read that locking min freq to 100MHz slows the phone at week-up. Does lock worth for battery saving?

Thank you very much for reply
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] stratosk:
Hi,

You may uninstall it, if you don't use the old one.

Actually they do the same thing but with a totally different way. HM.Carbide's Semaphore Script Manager handles init.d scripts (which are still bundled in the kernel - just in case).

The app that I developed does not use init.d scripts. It applies the settings with a service after boot completes. The fact that it does not use fixed scripts gives flexibility to adjust in detail governor or auto brightness driver settings.

Of course in the future more features will be implemented.

About, lock min freq. This is completely wrong. By default min freq is 100MHz. It goes to 200MHz when GPU is active. Some apps incorrectly sets 200MHz as min scaling frequency without actually the user select this.

Locking min frequency to 100MHz prevents any app or service to alter the default behavior.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Giap:
Thank you. In your v0.1 there is an option "clear the init.d scripts". I guess that I have not to clear scripts, have I?
