Hi stratosk,

I'm in CM 10 like 3 weeks and was waiting until I feel it stable. I thought let's try your Kernel later so that I can see the difference :). In ICS I was using yours.

Today for a by mistake wireless issue (I forgot one character in password so couldn't connect) I flashed your kernel. Accidentally I flashed 's' version Semaphore_JB_2.0.6s version. And for fast few hours I didn't had any problem with the phone. My Ram showing as 391MB. And I never done any modification to my phone so I'm pretty sure I don't have the patch. (Stock CM10).

How it's possible? Since it's working why can't I use 's' version. What I'll be missing. I know 720p vider recording will not be available for BigMem version.

Thanks for your great work...

Thanks. Any indication of how much these setting have helped? In battery life? Performance? ANybody else wants to add in their settings?

Hi,
's' version will work fine on cm10, except the issues in camera and in video playback. If you don't have these then most probably you have patched your ROM.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Can I know what is the issue in camera and video playback? I tested it my self. Camera I can take photos without any problem. But video 480p/720p both I can't shoot.
As for video I tried a .avi video in MoboPlayer and it's playing.

I'm pretty sure I haven't patch the CM10. It's stock except your kernel.

It's looks like if we can give up video recording we can have more ram :) (Without 's' version even if we enable BigMem we can't get 391MB - But in that 480p video record-able.)

Anybody have any idea CM10 by default includes the patch??

I tried to enable BigMem and checked what happens. It's same again camera photo taking working and video playback working. Can't shoot video. In that case can I assume 'if we use "s" version in CM10 we will only lose video recording no matter normal/BigMem version'?

Thanks for the patch. I don't want to use any modifications for now :). I was just wondering whether this patch is included in Cm10 by default. Because I observed I can use 's' version in Cm10 with/without BigMem and only video recording not working. (Both 480p and 720p)

no its not include and it will not

big mem will break 720p , S version will not break anything if use it on patched rom or if use the patch on any rom

Thanks, I'm aware that BigMem in normal version will break 720p.

My doubt is if we use 's' version in a unpatched rom what will break? For me only Video record breaks both 480p and 720p. I'm doing more tests to findout. Problem is with 's' version in un patched rom 480p video record also fails.

it will break some video types playback and maybe 720p playback idk and it will break the camcorder :(
why u don't wanna use the patch and make things easier :)

Hi,

You're correct. I tried to copy some of the 720p videos and play it in MoboPlayer. They are playing but very snappy. Frame rate is very very slow. But normal videos play fine. (Both with/without BigMem)

I'm going to use patch, thanks for the suggestion. :) I'm just curious to find out things ;)

Anyway now my final conclusion is, if we use 's' version in unpatched rom

1) Video recording won't work (Both 480p and 720p)
2) 720p video playback very snappy
3) camera photo taking no problem

Strange same observation for BigMem enabled and disabled :confused:

BTW,
I guess for 's' version also (if we patch the rom) enabling BigMem is same effect as normal. (i.e 720p video recording won't work) How about 720p playback? Will it work? Correct me if I'm wrong...

You probably don't mean snappy. Stuttering is probably what you want to say. Right?

Signature? Signature!

Yeah, that's what I meant :). Video breaks play like step by step and not good sound also. Some videos I couldn't hear anything and it was like screaming :)


But just now I flashed CM10 stock kernel but still video playback is stuttering. It's some mkv format 720p videos. I play it in MoboPlayer. One song is around 250MB. Anyone can play videos this size? If not any player I can play without issues?

Okay, I downloaded some 720p videos from youtube and they work fine. But their size is less than 100MB. So I guess my files are too big to play.... :(

The patch is a change in the CM10 source code:
https://github.com/kasperhettinga/a...mmit/c0d128613c026d1a8c685cb6bd40cd0981738b3f
The changed libs which have been created after CM10 building go in the zip.

I don't notice any disadvantages of these patched libs compared to the stock libs. But because reliability of both recording and playback is theoretically reduced, it will not go in stock CM10. A decision I can understand. Same is true for many of the additional functions in custom kernels. They may work well for 99% of people, but stock CM10 will not include them easily...

so how do we know if its a patched rom? in order for us to use the s version? is there like separate patch that we can apply to make any rom consider as a patched?
im talking about the possibility using the s version. not the 720p patch thing.

    Thanks everybody for your words and your support!
    Your huge support and interest about Semaphore makes me want to try even more for something better.

    Maybe it's not obvious, but I'm working hard on this project. Last weeks, I try more to expand my knowledge and contribute to Linux kernel.
    As I said, this may not have immediate affect in Semaphore versions. But I hope for some results in near future.

    Semaphore is here. I'm here. Semaphore will not stop. I will try to contribute to Linux kernel, through this project. Maybe using other device, but with the same goals.

    Thanks again for everything.
