Just want to ask is there a risk on fast charge thought it was safe but saw on sema app enable at your risk so got curious thank again for the updates

I was under the impression that Fast Charge simply allows the USB cable charge to push up the voltage amount to make it the same as charging via AC charge cable.

I fail to see how that can potentially cause damage to the phone/battery.

At the very least, I've fast charged my battery over 30 times already and haven't had any problems.

There was a short "debate" few pages back about fast charge. ;)

Ahh great info thanks dude. I really love the fast charge since I always have my laptop at school saves me time to bring the charger and look for an empty outlet I'll take the risk whether it safe or not hehe s3 is in the corner so maybe if my phone burn off its time to go s3 :p although im broke have to wait for the us version which is crap with bloatware and features lol

@ stratosk thanks for including this as a optional for people who want it and don't want this feature your kernel is really one of the best out there now with the features and stability you rock :D

With fast charge enabled on rom and kernal I seem to be getting, well, fast charges! But I can still access the drives on my PC. I thought fast charge disabled this. Is it working or am I tripping?

Whoops. It somehow got turned off in Slim. Now no USB and phone thinks it's on AC. No side effects so far. This should be great for when I'm at work.

Anyone encounter boot loops with new version yet?

Nope, and I flashed MyUi over another rom with no data wipe. No problems as far as I have seen.

This lmk issue.....does it apply to other methods of adjustments ie Rom toolbox or just in Sema app? Sry for the questions but if I lose recovery I'm DONE...can't get download mode

Hmm so far one thing i notice is the 800 mhz does not stay on 800 it revert back to 1000 mhz as soon as I turn the screen off. The app I used to check it is the CPU spy and tge nstools other than that everything is so awesome really happy with the latest semaphore :D

With 1.2.1c compass doesn't work right, seems off 90 deg even after calibration. Works with other kernel.
Nice otherwise.

I don't have one BUT, doesn't phone have to be off to use it? My power button is broke but in on position....I can't turn the phone off! If I shut down it just sticks!!

    This is a kernel based on the pawitp's one and it works for Android 4.0.x ICS ROMs.


    Features

    - LiveOC
    - Custom Voltage
    - Voodoo Sound (implemented by pawitp)
    - BLN
    - 373.5MB - 398.7MB available RAM
    - Compiled with Linaro 4.7.1
    - O3 optimization
    - Semaphore Script Manager 0.75
    - Auto brightness driver
    - Touch Wake
    - Vibration intensity
    - Deep Idle
    - USB host driver
    - Governor ondemand (default)
    - ondemand: sampling_down_factor tunable by momentum, smooth_ui
    - Governor conservative (module)
    - Governor smartassV2 (module)
    - Noop I/O scheduler (default)
    - Deadline I/O Scheduler (module)
    - Simple I/O Scheduler (module)

    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_0800 (disable overclocking - caps max freq to 800Mhz)
    - S05enable_oc_1000_default (disable overclocking)
    - S05enable_oc_1100 (enable overclocking - max freq 1100MHz)
    - S05enable_oc_1140 (enable overclocking - max freq 1140MHz)
    - S05enable_oc_1200 (enable overclocking - max freq 1200MHz)
    - 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)
    - S30enable_logger (enable logging)
    - S35enable_tun (load tun module)
    - S40enable_cifs (load cifs module)

    Custom Voltage may be configured with Voltage control or similar applications.

    Change log

    1.2.6c (11/07/2012)
    - USB mass storage disable write speed cache support (thanks kasper_h, DerTeufel1980 for the hint)
    - CWM: Allow key to repeat on hold (thanks to FaultException, koush). Works for volume up, down and touch key menu (as down)
    - CWM: fix selection bar color when battery < 21%
    - CWM: upstream sync (thanks to koush) *
    - initramfs sync some changes with CM9 (adb works in root by default in recovery)
    - compiled with linaro 4.7.1 201206

    Normal versions (for CM9 or ROMs without hugemem configuration)
    1.2.6c
    - 373.5MB - 385.7MB

    For Slim ROM or patched ROMs with hugemem configuration
    1.2.6sc
    - 386.5MB - 398.7MB

    * Please note that due to changes in nandroid backup/restore, previous versions of Semaphore can't restore backups from version >= 1.2.6. To be on the safe side, please renew your backups.



    1.2.5c (20/06/2012)
    - rebased to 3.0.17 (thanks to trailblazerz11 and eugene373 for their github)
    - compiled with Linaro 4.7.1 toolchain (thanks to trailblazerz11 for his help)
    - O3 optimization flag
    - upstream sync (fixes for cdma in-call volume and mic gain included, thanks to pawitp, efpophis)
    - WiFi PM_MAX when suspended
    - fixed 800MHz underclocking
    - changed boot splash screen

    - Bootloop detection (if no normal boot is detected the phone will be forced to recovery in next boot) *
    - bugfix: enabling Wi-Fi hotspot twice (copy the new netfilter script in order this to work by disabling and then enabling again netfilter in Semaphore app)
    - creation of /system/lib/modules if does not exist

    * It doesn't mean that this will necessarily resolve the known bootloop issue, but it may help on bootloops because of bad OC/UV etc.

    Normal versions (for CM9 or ROMs without hugemem configuration)
    1.2.5c
    - 373.5MB - 385.7MB

    1.2.1c (20/05/2012)
    - New initramfs (thanks to Mialwe for his cooperation on this)
    - Bigmem reservation optional through Semaphore app (bigmem breaks 720p video recording) *
    - Smooth UI implemented in conservative, smartassv2 (selected as separate option)
    - Semaphore Script Manager application 0.75 (thanks to HM.Carbide)
    - Fast Charge support (thanks to Chad Froebe) implemented as module **
    - L4 (100MHz) int volt 1100mV (as GB)
    - upstream updates
    - Dropped LMK scritps

    Variations:

    Normal versions (for CM9 or ROMs without hugemem configuration)
    1.2.1c

    For Slim ROM or patched ROMs with hugemem configuration
    1.2.1sc
    - 387.2MB - 399.4MB

    * Needs reboot to takes effect. If the phone shuts down needs additional reboot.
    ** Enables support for fast charge. It does not enable the feature.
