No problem my friend.
I'm not discontinuing. I never say never. I said maybe. :)

Hi stratosk,

veeery nice, i knew we can count on you! :) Thanks for the JW4 compatible version!! Now i can go on and test this JW4(JW5?) rom. My perfect appreciation that you still support your "old GB-folks" here!!

Previously i heard you saying that maybe we will see a stock color version of v2.7.1 too? *ggg* I know your priorities are on ICS now and i totaly understand this, but such a version would make me and apparently also a view other guy's here happier than a lottery winner! :D Ok that was exorbitant, but it would be at least very very nice! :) My respect to this whole voodo color thingy but i can't live with it any more since you gave us stock color versions! ;)

ok will soon report back my experience with the new version.
take care...

The "Clean Busybox" option seemed to solve the problem for me. Though, I still can't use Busybox installer to install a newer busybox. That always causes applet not found errors until I use the "Clean Busybox" in Semaphore app again.

Ok, i have one more feedback. I had a soft reboot and a hard reboot after setting clock to 800mhz. no such problem on 1000mhz. Also I managed to repeat it after i restored my cwm backup.

nenamark 2 - Reboots

Everything working fine with 2.7.1 on JW4. I got one problem when I try to run Nenamark 2 benchmark app phone reboots -- don't know it is related to JW4 or the kernel issue.

I've always had Busybox issues with Semaphore as well. Could never restore apps using Titanium Backup. Just saying that Pika ain't alone.

Loading the cpufreq_stat module causes reboot on 1000 mhz. With 1200 mhz it works. Strange.

Sorry about my noob question but what is the difference between "bm" and normal one?







New TEST version 2.7.1
- Semaphore Script Manager v0.74
- 377.1MB available RAM
- small installation issue

Bigmem version 2.7.1bm
- 385.4MB
breaks 720p video recording

Bm version Has more ram memory than normal version but with the bm version it's not possible to record video in 720p

Thank you very much my friend.
Never mind, consider that you did it. I really appreciate your intention. :)


About the OC. As HM.Carbide and other said it's something that causing soft reboots when you load modules. I'm investigating it.

    This is a kernel rebuilt from the latest updated gingerbread sources and based on the CF-Root kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108).

    Features

    - Voodoo Sound v10
    - Voodoo Color
    - OC/UV (1200MHz, 1300MHz)
    - BLN
    - CWM v5.0.2.7
    - Speedmod color fix
    - Patched with the latest Samsung kernel sources.
    - JVU initramfs
    - compiled with Linaro GCC 4.6.2 toolchain
    - O3 and other compiler optimizations
    - 337 MB available RAM (353 bigmem versions - it breaks 720 video recording)
    - Auto brightness driver
    - Reworked cpufreq driver. cpu states 100-200-400-800-1000/1200/1300.
    - Bundled with Semaphore Script Manager to v0.62
    - su binary v3.0.3.2
    - Governor ondemand (default)
    - ondemand: sampling_down_factor tunable by momentum
    - Governor conservative (module)
    - Governor smartassV2 (module)
    - Noop I/O scheduler (default)
    - Deadline I/O Scheduler (module)
    - Simple I/O Scheduler (module)
    - Netfilter (iptables) as modules
    - CIFS as module
    - TUN as module
    - Logcat disabled (as module only)
    - cpufreq statistics as module (is loaded by default)
    - Standard network packet scheduler
    - Kernel log buffer size 4KB (from 128KB)
    - deleting boot sounds procedure creates backup on /data/local
    - Battery polling to 60 seconds
    - jhash3
    - No debug info
    - TinyRCU
    - HZ=256
    - CPU frequency on stock music player when screen off to 400 MHz
    - /system/etc/init.d directory creation if not exist
    - Custom boot animation
    - HM.Cardide's Addon scripts.
    - VM dirty chainfire's tweak as script
    - Kernel scheduler tweak as script
    - noatime chainfire's tweak by default
    - OC test scripts to 1200MHz, 1300MHz (Script Manager)
    - enabled /proc/config.gz
    - bootloop detection (clears init.d directory, if the phone does not complete 2 minutes of normal operation)
    - Script to change /cache to virtual 50MB (in case you want to download apps > 30MB from Market)
    Make sure to disable this option before convert to ext4. You may enable this after the conversion

    In order to control voodoo sound and color and BLN you have to download Voodoo Control and BLN control applications respectively from android market.
    The max CPU frequency is by default 1Ghz.
    You may use applications like Voltage Control to control UV.

    In order to load various modules of the kernel and enable or disable features use HM.Carbide's Semaphore Script Manager application. It automatically copies and runs the respective scripts from /res/scripts to /system/etc/init.d directory. The scripts:

    - S05enable_oc_1000_default (disable overclocking)
    - S05enable_oc_1200 (enable overclocking to 1200MHz)
    - S05enable_oc_1300 (enable overclocking to 1300MHz)
    - S10enable_gov_conservative (load and enable conservative governor module)
    - S10enable_gov_ondemand_default (enable ondemand governor)
    - S10enable_gov_smartassV2 (load and enable conservative smartassV2 module)
    - S15enable_sched_deadline (load and enable the deadline I/O scheduler module)
    - S15enable_sched_noop_default (enable noop scheduler)
    - S15enable_sched_sio (enable and load SIO scheduler module)
    - S20enable_netfilter (load netfilter modules for firewall or WiFi, USB tethering)
    - S25enable_sm_cold (enable SpeedMod cold preset)
    - S25enable_sm_neutral (enable SpeedMod neutral preset)
    - S25enable_sm_warm (SpeedMod warm preset)
    - S30enable_logger (enable logging)
    - S35enable_tun (load tun module)
    - S40enable_cifs (load cifs module)
    - S42enable_bl_dis (disable bootloop detection)

    For more information check the semaphore kernel website: www.semaphore.gr

    Please check first the F.A.Q. article if you have any questions and before post in this thread.

    For questions or issues about Semaphore Script Manager please visit HM.Carbide thread

    You may find custom Semaphore specific boot animations here.
