Since its a kernel related problem i suggest you switch it (Semaphore and Devil's are the ones to give the best results) or at least use a different version of it :)

Well I'm on Semaphone 1.0.0s which comes as stock. What do I do now?

By the way. I use bluetooth stereo earphones and RC4 had little occasional skipping problems. With V1.0, it's all gone. Amazing job mate.

Yes l_navajita & Team 3xtr3m3 are doing a great job fixing bugs on this Rom :) .. As for your issue you can upgrade to a later version of Semaphore .
This is the link to the latest Semaphore version : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1468795
Or you can also try Devil2_0.79 , i had great results with this kernel on this Rom.

Hey, this rom is definitely next on my list to try, but I have some questions that I hope can be clarified:

What is the deal with the warnings about semaphore 1.1.1? I've been following the development of this kernel, and never saw a consensus that "semaphore screwed something up with 1.1.1".

Does the rom use libwebcore from 4.0.3? All ics roms I've tried undoubtedly benefits from it in terms of much quicker text rendering.

Is there a particular reason to go via jvu when flashing this, as per the guide thread, or is it just the same case as other ICS roms?

Thanks! Looking forward to flashing this!

sorry.but the thing with the 4.0.3 libwebcore being faster than the 4.0.4 one is an unfounded statement.There are no in-depth tests or comparisons between the two, just some misguided posts claiming it is so without any solid proof.Nevertheless the browser does the job just fine.

Cheers ~

What is the best format for 720p video performance? I tried to watch Fringe today but MX player was under torment I can say. It was an x264 MKV file. And the HW Decoding didn't work with it.

I haven't flashed this rom yet, but of course it might be quick to begin with. As far as tests go, both elite, Slim and infinitum got much quicker rendering after the switch. Infinitum even ended up including it in the latest version. There is also the possibility that the slow rendering would be caused by an issue that resolved itself by switching/resetting libwebcore in itself, not the particular 4.0.3.

I tried it but it won't even open the video. Tries, but goes back to folder screen. I'll just try with different HD files and figure it our.

weird.i use the paid version.but free version should work the same.paid version is just ad free.

Semaphore 1.2.0 has been released. It includes changes in the initramfs in which the awesome developer mialwe has also taken part. I'll release a minor ROM revision (1.0.1) where the only change will be the updated kernel. I do it because I think it might avoid ROM installation problems to many users.

Hey, I understand that you want to keep the rom stable and bulletproof, but are you considering implementing aokp rom control or similar, ie for custom lockscreen?

This is the best ics rom cause its clean and based on aosp, with not too many customizations.
Please dont make this another aokp copy.

U can use slim or infinitum if u like those features.
Im sorry but i love this rom just the way it is, dont want to see extra features that may cause bugs.

I'm sorry, I would really like to make a ROM that everybody like, but that's not possible. No ROM control or custom lockscreens will be added, and no significant changes to the system interface will be introduced. I love (and I think a lot of people too) clean ROMs so this will keep clean, that's the reason that made me build this ROM instead of just using CM9 or AOKP.

Best regards.

    This ROM is built from Google Android sources, with a few added functionalities programmed by me and others based on CM9 and AOKP to make it more comfortable and user-friendly, improving the user experience.
    This is a serious ROM, no functionalities of doubtful utility are added, and their source code is studied in order to be sure what they are exactly doing. This ROM is focused on providing stability and a better stock experience.

    • Brightness control in status and notifications bars (Optional - can be disabled in Settings -> Display -> Brightness control slider).
    • Real and improved autobrightness: brightness really goes down when light decreases (Optional - Can be disabled in Settings -> Display - Automatic decrease). Based on stratosk's approach but using a logarithmic scale, which fits best to the human eye.
    • Extended power menu with reboot, recovery and screenshot.
    • TV-Out (Go to Settings -> Display to activate it).
    • Video face effects working
    • Application killing with long press on back button (Optional - Can be disabled in Settings -> Developer options -> Fast application killing).

    • APN's predefined huge list (source: CM9)
    • Modified hosts file to remove ads in applications (source: http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt)

    **************************************************************************************************

    2.0.1 RELEASED!

    ALWAYS READ THE FAQ AND SEARCH IN THE THREAD BEFORE ASKING!!!

    Download Links

    ICS333 2.0.1: http://d-h.st/PpL (Mirror: http://minus.com/mcnldhbFF/)
    GAPPS: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

    If you have questions/problems or you just want to chat about it, you can also go here : http://webchat.freenode.net Channel : ##ICS333


    **************************************************************************************************

    How to update from a previous version of ICS333:
    1. Flash ICS333-2.0.1-signed.zip in CWM Recovery, without making any kind of wipe
    2. Flash the GAPPS
    3. Reboot. If you have followed these instructions, you won't have lost any data.
    4. If you notice, after updating, that your media (photos, music, videos...) appears twice in Music and Gallery apps, just clear "Media Storage" data (Settings -> Apps -> All -> Media Storage -> Clear data) and reboot. Then, just wait a long while (it can take even 1 hour depending on the amount of media files you have in your phone).
    5. Always check your IMEI after flashing. If it starts with 0049, you have lost your IMEI. If that's your case, read the installation guide for further instructions.

    **************************************************************************************************

    Clean Installation (if you come from other ROM)
    1. Follow the instructions that are available in this post: http://goo.gl/elAJv (big thanks to psyqiq)

    **************************************************************************************************

    FAQ
    1. I have flashed the ROM and it works OK, but I can't get signal or make/receive calls/sms. What is happening? You have lost your IMEI. You can get your IMEI back recovering your EFS backup (if you made one) or flashing a Gingrebread Stock ROM (look for one with PDA, PHONE and CSC) with Odin.
    2. I have flashed the ROM and I don't have Play Store. How can I install it? Before flashing, read the instructions! Download the gapps file and flash it.
    3. Does Facebook sync works? No, because adding Facebook sync breaks Picasa sync. The only responsible for this problem is Facebook. You can use third-party apps such as HaxSync for this purpose.
    4. Battery is draining fast. What is happening? Before reporting battery problems complete two charging cycles. If you still have battery problems, ask yourself how long should the battery last with your usage (we are not using an old Nokia phone with 1.0" screen) and discard that is caused by an application. And then, if you still have a draining problem, and you don't know the cause, report your problem attaching:
      1) Screenshots of every battery statistics
      2) BetterBatteryStats dump. You can download BetterBatteryStats in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809. To generate the dump press Menu key -> More -> Dump to File. The dump file will be generated in /sdcard, and its name starts with "BetterBatteryStats".
      3) The output of the logcat (the last one better in a private message). In order to get the logcat output, you will have to enable the Logger in the Semaphore app and reboot if you hadn't enabled it before. The logcat starts from scratch each time you reboot or turn on your phone so, wait some hours before sending it.
      Remember: just complaining about battery life without providing useful information doesn't help anybody and will not solve your problem.
    5. My music, photos and videos are duplicated in Music and Gallery apps. It usually happens when you flash the ROM without wipe. To fix that, just clear "Media Storage" data (Settings -> Apps -> All -> Media Storage -> Clear data) and reboot. Then, just wait a long while (it can take even 1 hour depending on the amount of media files you have in your phone).
    6. Suddenly, all apps start throwing FCs. What's happening? Your /datadata partition is full. The best solution is to wipe everything and make a clean install of the ROM. Then, when you have finished installing the ROM, flash one of these fixes: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1541942, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1665742.
    7. Does FM Radio work? Yes, you can download Spirit FM, but do it at your own risk.
    8. Does HW acceleration work when playing videos? Yes, but not with stock player. There are video players in the Play Store that support HW acceleration. For instance, Dice Player.
    9. The LED buttons don't turn on when I have notifications. How can I enable this feature? Download BLN Control from Play Store.
    10. Can I use other kernels such as Devil or MNICS?Yes, just follow their installation instructions as in any other ICS ROM.
    11. Can I customize or remove the toggles of the notification bar? No, you can't :) But maybe you want to publish a MOD for ICS333? :)

    Have you gone on holiday or are you sitting in a dark corner somewhere creating another masterpiece :cool::cool:

    Hello, I have been really really busy these days with my real job :) But I'll start to work again in ICS333 the next week :)

    ICS333 2.0 released. Hope you enjoy it.

    Hello! Well, I've been watching the progress of CM10, which shows how mature is JB for our SGS. I'm a bit worried because there are still some problems that really affect stability and need to be solved. That's to say, it's ok for daily use if you don't mind to reboot your phone sometimes :) In fact, the M1 version has not been released yet. Fixing these problems is hard, requires a lot of hours that I don't have, and pawitp is really good at it so let's him do it :) I plan to use M1 as a base, and release a pure AOSP ROM. Then, start adding features one by one.

    Cheers!
