This is stratosk's Semaphore JB kernel compiled for the GT-I9000B (Latin america variant of the I9000). Stratosk doesn't support this variant, so cronot tweaked the build to make this excellent kernel work for the I9000B variant. He now moved on to another phone so he has stopped working on this build, but not before handing it over to me - so I will now be building this kernel, at least for as long as stratosk does
With that said, here comes the disclaimer: By flashing this kernel, you accept that it comes without any support, neither mine and even less so from stratosk, since he doesn't support this variant on his own releases. So please don't bother him with support questions regarding this specific build. IOW: you'll use this kernel at your own risk.
There were reports of data loss during testing on early builds of the 2.8.x (kernel for Android 4.2) series - there were no more bad reports on later versions, but this needs to be said: Always do a nandroid backup before installing or updating any of the kernels posted here. I won't be held responsible if you lose data while using these kernels!
I *may* be able to help depending on whatever problems you might have, but don't expect timely answers, or any answers at all if I'm not technically able to figure out your problem - I'm a beginner on kernel development, all I did with this really was just some slight tunings and then recompile it for the I9000B. Also, I'm doing this on my free time, which is not much these days, so for now I'm just going to focus on following stratosk builds and recompile them for the I9000B as they come. I can say though, as far as problems, I don't have any with it on my device - it works fine and fast for me.
Now, on to the goodness:
This kernel is exactly the same as stratosk builds (hence, the exact same features and changelogs, including compiler versions and configuration), but with the following modifications:
Swap enabled;
ZRAM enabled as module (To configure it (on CM10), go into Settings / Performance / Memory Management);
KSM support enabled (Disabled on system by default, to enable it (on CM10), go into Settings / Performance / Memory Management)
Note about build version 2.7.0
Stratosk is no longer maintaining the 2.6.x builds that are meant for Android 4.1. But cronot was using Android 4.1 before he sold his SGS, and looking at some of the latest 2.9.0 features he felt like having some of its features on the 2.6.x builds, and so he did it. Since there are quite some important changes he thought it would be better to bump the version number to 2.7.0. Do note though that I provide this kernel here only as a convenience, I won't be supporting this version because I'll be compiling, testing and using only the kernels for Android 4.2, like stratosk does.
The 2.7.0 build contains the following cherry-picks from 2.9.0:
Reduce number of frame buffers for more RAM (on my ex-SGS I'm now at 383Mb, up from 377Mb);
Updated Interactive governor;
ROW I/O Scheduler
Known issues
None, as far as I know - feedback is always welcome!
What works
Everything, as far as I could see.
Usage
Just flash it on CWM like any other kernel. Normal version and 's' version are provided just like on stratosk's release. Use the Semaphore Manager app on Google Play, from stratosk, to setup the kernel features.
All instructions and documentation from stratosk's original Semaphore kernel applies to this one, so look into his own thread for more information.

Thanks
To stratosk, of course, for his awesome work on his kernel, and for letting me post this here for I9000-B users;
Everyone who is/was involved on the development of the Semaphore kernel - basically, anyone on stratosk's "thanks" list

Personnel who are having problems with BLN, just install this app and activate BLN will work.
Thank you so much ! I want to try Semaphore but never work on my I9000B
PS: With Bigmem I can't record on 720p but I've read that it's fixed, I'm wrong ?

Yes it can not, it is not not fixed, download the "SB", it does not contain the bigmen.

Sorry, I don't want to bother you, each phone is different.
By the way I'm using CM10.1 (20130124), I'll try again.
EDIT: I saw this on the Semaphore thread...
Please note that there are 2 variations:
Normal versions: for CM10 or ROMs without hugemem configuration, available RAM 384MB - 396MB
's' versions: for Slim Bean ROM or patched ROMs with hugemem configuration, available RAM 397MB - 409MB
So, I'm using the normal version and everything works fine
PS: can I use the default CM10.1 performance menu or this kernel uses the Semaphore manager only ?

Yes you can, I am currently in SlimRom compiled by myself, so I said this all working.
Tried 2.9.8b, everything works good but I get an error everytime I try to flash a rom that does not have Semaphore 2.9.8b.

What is the error?
Hello, I would like to know if I can use this kernel in a normal GT-I9000, the international version, because I'm interested in ZRAM and KSM.
What is the special compilation for the B version?

If you use the normal kernel on the I9000B the touchscreen doesn't work, but it has the same features, you can download the I9000 kernel from the official site.

It is a generic error, like "get build.prop failed". I always get that when trying to flash a I9000 ROM or a corrupt archive.
I can't really type the error now, it is big, and I've rolled back to 2.9.7b

Dude, I'm not getting this error your understanding, your device is "I9000B" or "I9000", where "B", please send the logcat because the way that, I can not help you.

// ETA RULES
There is an epic list about ETA rules you should read
HTCDreamOn said:
If he hasn't uploaded it yet, it means it's not ready to be uploaded
If he has uploaded it, then he's uploaded it
If he says he's going to upload it, if he hasn't uploaded it before then, then of course he hasn't uploaded it yet
If you ask him when it'll be uploaded, he'll tell you either the same time or a later time. NEVER earlier
read that again. He will NEVER upload it earlier if you ask him. Asking him when it will be uploaded does not make it arrive earlier
If it is uploaded earlier than he says, it's not because you asked him. Because he will upload it when it's ready which will not be just because you asked
who actually cares when it will be ready? He has given screenshots of it being compiled and screenshots of it running. It works. He won't forget.
It's a ROM for your phone, worry about other things
If you ask for ETAs, his upload speed will not magically increase
If you know when it'll be uploaded, how does this actually benefit you?
Read a book
Listen to some music
enjoy the ROM you've got
stop asking for ETAs
If he uploads it tonight then it'll be uploaded. If he doesn't then it won't
If he says no then it won't be. If he says yes then it will be the same as whatever ETA he gave before
Learn to code or something
Please stop asking for ETAs
aww man I've been forced to write a non development related post in a dev thread because ETA requests annoy me so much
aww man I forgot when development work was actually discussed in dev threads because of all the ETA requests

Thanks for the rom! Going to test it out today!
Update: I've tested this rom for less than a day. So far it's rom fairly smooth, not too many hiccups. I think I ran into a force close when I tried to change the wallpaper (no biggy). Keyboards work for me, wifi, sms, mms. So far so good.
Wow! I didn't know that this old chap will get KitKat! Good work all developers! I am going to test it out tomorrow!

I didn't dig it more (installed ~8 hours ago) but until now it works like a charm! And I LOVE it!
( I miss trackpad wake up but hey, it's christmas :laugh: )
THAT'S what I call "a ROM modification".
Thank you for this!
a list of what doesnt work for me:
aosp keyboard fc all the time, i cant type (physical keyboard doesnt work too) -> in english layout its ok
362 mb of ram instead of 512 -> as VaderSKN wrote below this post
menu and back buttons doesnt work -> works after a reinstall
btw its faaaast and smooth
thanks, im looking forward for the updates

You've got 362 mb RAM because it's reserved for radio and other system tasks. All devices' RAM works like this.

I will fix the keyboard. As I tryed to trim it maybe in some launguages will FC. But I will upload an patch ASAP
Of course that you won't get the full ram space. As @ VaderSKN said, t's reserved for radio and other system tasks. All devices' RAM works like this.
For me works Try to do wipe cache. Did you installed other GApps or mods?

thanks for your respond, i reall love your rom
ps.: ah, an another bug:
in aroma i checked to install google+ and chrome, btw i have to reinstall them from play, google+ asked me to reinstall, because its not working, chrome just showed up and then closed. after reinstall from play, they are working.
on home screen, after i press menu and choose wallpapers a google search fc window just appears, so it wont load wallpapers screen (every time).
very good work :good:

sediROM - or why I created a new ROM based on the good old ("ancient") ICS
.
.
.
Long story short. The following list are my requirements to a custom ROM:
I need my phone everyday so I need to resist that it is working everyday (means rock stable).
I do NOT need the latest available Android version.
I WANT to have the other components (like Kernel etc) up to date.
I REALLY REALLY need headset profiles for my bluetooth devices (Jabra, Nokia and Plantronics)
I need root access, of course.
I want to get the best battery life possible.
GB is too old for me.
Stock ROM is "too stock" for me.
I have tried all available captivate ROMs starting from ICS over Jelly Bean to KitKat.
Android < v4.x are too old for my requirements. Several features missing and well it even LOOKS old..
Android >= v4.1 are working well with the Glide but there is 1 main killer function which is completely broken since Android 4.1: Bluetooth Headset Profiles
(The Bluetooth stack was completely re-developed in 4.1)
The version which is the best compromise of beeing fresh enough - but working like a charm is Android v4.0.4 (ICS)
The problem is.. there is no ICS based ROM out there which completely fullfill ALL my requirements.
So I thought it is time for me to create my own daily-use feature-complete and rock stable ROM for the Samsung Captivate Glide / SGH - I927..
IMO the best working and best battery saving ROM for the Glide is PACMAN ROM (used pac_i927-milestone.1.RC1.4.zip)!
The problem: the earliest version of it is based on Android 4.1 which is a No-Go for me because of Bluetooth HSP.
--> I recommend the mentioned version of PACman as your daily driver if you do NOT need BT HSP. I had it running several weeks without any problems but really great battery saving.
.. well that said I couldn't fork PACman ..
So I've downgraded to all available ICS based ROM again (which was VERY painful because of broken links to the apps because of different mount point names etc).
I have tried those all again (IcePOP, Cranium, Stock, DMans ICS, etc.) but no was "as good as" LiteROM (IMHO) - which I used several weeks before.
.. so +1 for forking LiteROM ...
The problem with LiteROM is that there are still issues and no further development is done on it.
Some of the major LiteROM issues for me (those are also the reasons why I first tried newer Android versions):
It looses the paired devices after a reboot ! (but that sounded to me like it can be fixed somehow)
The lags/waits when pressing the power button to switch the display on
Battery life is not the best
not the latest Kernel
many little things in the installer like it re-installs everything when only switching to another modem etc.
Nevertheless LiteROM is still the best base I can get (because it fits to my requirements best and is rock stable) and therefore I started in May 2014 the build of sediROM which is a fork of LiteROM v0.9.
UPDATE:
sediROM is officially available and have tons of fixes and enhancements inside. Check it out in the DEV thread:

what kernel do you use? Stock or litekernel?
Replacing kernel is very easy.
No documentation for BT sound, I dont think anybody would fix it. I've tried to find dev to find alsa HAL ( that is for voip sound fix), and no luck, while fixing alsa much more easier then fix BT sound.
Somebody tried to port cm10, it has many issue, you can find that topic in dev forum.
The idea for sediROM is to have a very well tested setup of default settings (like which kernel, etc.) but the free choice to modify it later whenever you like it.

LiteKernel v4.0 OverClocked and without UnderVoltage
LiteKernel v1.2.2 GPU not OverClocked and with UnderVoltage

Litkernel has many power save improve, but it has many bugs too,
You have said already headset doesnt work, or does it work? I'm confused.

Oh no I said Bluetooth is generally working fine in Android v4.0 and therefore in sediROM / LiteROM but not in other ROMs which are based on Android 4.1 or higher
--> The only thing which are not perfect in v4.0 (or especially in LiteROM) is that Bluetooth Pairing are lost after rebooting.
--> ... and that is fixed in sediROM
Smashing! :laugh: I have been roaming around for something like this! Bloody awesome! Let me know when you have the download link ready! I will be glad to test it, and if it is stable as stock ICS I will definitely keep it as my DD! Thanks in advance for this! If you say it is indeed a fork for LiteROM with no bugs it will be the s#$)!!! And of course a keeper. Same as you, I´ve tried almost every ROM available for our cappy, but never totally satisfied with none. :fingers-crossed: Hoping this ROM is what I have been looking for. What exactly did you fix, aside from the pairing issues? Any luck with the automatic toggles, Force close issues, deep sleep power button.... :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Man gimme more details! Freakin excited here :silly: jue jue jue jue

whooa keep calm my friend
as said I try to solve all the problems I saw in my case and that's what I fixed. If that fixes all yours.. - I don't know
The thing which sounds interesting to me is that you talk about automatic toggles and force closes.
I never seen automatic toggles and force closes but it may be because I use another Kernel. Well we will see when you have tried it .
I cannot promise it is bug free (in this early state of this ROM there is at least 1 known bug - to be honest) but I may can help to fix things..
Rest and details coming soon... :angel:
I'd definitely be interested in testing your ROM. Your idea is more or less what I wanted for my i927. Hope to be able to try it soon.
xdajog quick question mate, which Kernel have you been using so far? Stock Kernel, Litekernel (version)?
I remember lite kernel causes battery drain in ics

Exactly, that is why I would like to know which kernel would be recommended Never tried liteRoM with stock kernel
Will be fun to test out. I mostly stick to CM11 but I like to try out others often.

Well that point is not totally fixed yet. I'm currently using Litekernel 1.2.2 in the not-overclocked version but also played around with the others - even Stock of course. That said I cannot say that I've found a perfect kernel (grakernel may the one but it is for JB and higher only ) and still testing others.
So the short answer is that there are not such differences between them when it comes to battery drain (see my post in the dev because that's one of the open points yet)
... and only to ensure that we have all the same understanding: sediROM is my experiment to go to / to get / to become the perfect stable but actual ROM for the Glide. It is "on it's way" you now
For becoming that I need feedback of course and I believe there will be many things I may not seen/use like you do so don't expect something "perfect"

You are really miss the point.
4.0 means android version not kernel version.
The litekernel package includes a boot image, that boot.img include kernel,ramdisk.
Ramdisk is the root on your android. Litekernel has some ramdisk modification too ( https://github.com/thegreatergood/LiteKernel---Glide/tree/master/Build4.2/ramdisk/sbin/ext https://github.com/thegreatergood/L...ster/Build4.2/ramdisk/sbin/LiteKernel_Manager )
Grakernel should work with any rom, it doesnt change ramdisk, just replace kernel and install modules to /system/lib/modules. I think modules in you rom is in /lib/modules on ramdisk, so you need to change my install script to modify ramdisk.

oh I'm quite new in that and a little disappointed now :crying: Well kernel v1.x is not for Android 1.x so .. in a perfect world the version naming would be everytime the same.. so everyone would know what it means... So I it may be the same as one of the 1.x LiteKernels available.

Hm so you say replacing the kernel, adding the modules and it should work?
I've tried that already but without success (booting but display keeps black with some green pixels ..)
As I can see in your link the Litekernel mods are note relevant for functioning or am I wrong? They seem to do some power saving stuff nothing else?

Litekernel has 2 version string, one from the build version and one from android version. Litekernel has some power save codes, it cases that deep sleep issue IMHO.
Did you download kernel from i9103 forum or mine from http://dualhoki.vim.hu/bubor/dev/grakernel/ ? Sound like you have i9103 version.

it was yours (1.4.3) - but I will re-test it again to be sure..
I want to give a try
i am very very very interrested in your ROM!
The BT-Headset function is very important for me, because for my car hifi handsfree bluetooth mode.
Battery Life
Since we are on the topic of battery life... does KitKat have the best battery life, or should I be using something else?
Andromeda Kernel
Supported: SM-N910F & SM-N910V
Do not try to flash this on ANY other variant than the N910F (Snapdragon, European)! It might work, but it can fail and end in a bootloop! Testers for SM-N910G wanted!

Frequently asked Questions (FAQ)
Or Questions and answers, since this thread is new.
Q: Can this be flashed on the Exynos Note 4?
A: No, by no means. The Exynos model is completely incompatible, sorry.
Q: And what about other Snapdragon versions?
A: I can't advise to do that, it's untested and might not work. If you know how to handle bootloops and can remove my kernel if it doesn't boot, then you can always try it and tell me how it went. More variants would be awesome.
Q: Yikes, this kernel is too close to stock! What about more features?
A: More features will be included, please check the changelog preview. You can also request features and track the progress. I will make a section on this thread to display the feature request and write if I look at them, make them or - and that might happen - reject them.
- To be updated..
Known Issues / Fixes
Bootloop if you have Viper4Android installed and flashed Andromeda over it
Fix: Uninstall Viper, install Andromeda and then reinstall.
If this issue persists in my future builds, then I'll add an automated script to remove Viper4Android upon installation of the kernel.
Welcome Aboard Mate Good luck Stefan.

Still on kk? Samsung is slower than I thought lol... Thanks for letting me know, edited the thread. Probably better to try it when G receives official 5.0
Seems like a great Kernel, good luck buddy
Going to test on my n910t after work. Ktoonsez is the only booting kernel so far for TW5.0 but we have a data issue
Welcome thanks for the work: Bueno:

Hi, yes of course you can! We are actually working on deeper and more exclusive support for SimpleRom too. Stay tuned for version 2.1, it will be awesome
My kernel is much closer to the stock base, so you might get some more performance squeezed out - especially if you select Intelliactive as your governor - but at the cost of battery. I'm still not so big on features, the last couple of days my compiler decided to give me a hard time :crying:
Only 910F for now though!

I'm not part of their Team, but Pafcholini is teaching me Don't worry, this kernel is not a clone of Nadia. My newest and upcoming build is as fluent as the last one and the batterylife is holding up a ton better too. No compromises on either side, thats my motto!

Haha, I know what you mean I love the compliment, but I know as well as you do, that Nadia doesn't lag, unless the Synapse settings are set wrong. Too bad that my attempts at Synapse aren't going so great atm..

Yes, it is. I don't know what changes Sammy made to the BOC3 kernel yet, so mine might be a bit slower than the BOC3 stock one. But it works with the version just fine
Andromeda Stable 1.0 released!
Good evening everyone,
it took me a while, but I present you the first Stable build of Andromeda!
Changelog
- FauxSound 3.6 fully integrated
- IntelliPlug 4.0
- Enhancements and battery optimizations (mainly centered around powersuspend and adaptations to the default interactive governor)
- Renamed the Kernel in the settings, the last one was a disaster
- 57% Support with KControl currently (Playstore App)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
About the Overclocking and Synapse...
I originally intended to include both in this build, but it will still need much more time and work and I didn't want to keep you away from the great upgrades I made in this version, so those two goodies will come later. I can highly recommend trying TricksterMod and KControl, both from the PlayStore.
And a very special announcement...
Perhaps the biggest change is that I recently joined "Team Simple - Simply Awesome" cool and will contribute an adapted version of the Andromeda kernel to SimpleRom, starting with the very close release of it's 2.1 Build. We planned something special - FauxSound is only the cherry on the Audiophile package inbuilt, so be very excited for whats coming up and be sure to try SimpleRom, especially the upcoming 2.1 version!
Oh, btw. I will also open a thread for the SimpleKernel once the Rom is released, to provide an optimized yet very close to stock experience! And there are also plans for an Exynos Build (the N910C), but I need some help with the Exy, so if anyone could lend me a hand, it would be highly appreciated! Now I understand why most devs settle for the Snapdragon..

Sorry for this delay.
But i have to fix a small problem with cgroups error logs.
If your kernel is as good as your modified rom... It's really worth it!!!
Hi to all..
Realy thanks.
Try to get a good working kernel is not realy easy.
The most problem is my time.
I compile a working kernel, but not have the time to fix all the issues.
So i need you help.
You is interesst to help me to test the kernel and provide me the log files?
Hi to all..
The Kernel is ready.
Who likes to test it?
Hi to all..
The Kernel is ready.
Who likes to test it?
I would love to
I am far away from my computer.... In case of bootloop... Will try it when I am back home??
Can you let me do some testing. I got plenty for time today.
Hi...so now its kernel time
Sorry for my second delay.
This is my test kernel for all who likes to test it.
You have to go to recovery and flash it
PLEASE BACKUP YOUR BOOT Partition!!
So you can flash back yout stock kernel
If you flash back boot partition , you have to rename inside /system/lib/modules the texfat.old to texfat.ko. This is the stock texfat module which we cant use for custom kernel for now.

great.. another step forward to custom kernel
i flashed it right now and will repoprt if i see anything
thanks for your work
Thanks.
This was a realy hard work and took a long time
Small features too this V1 Kernel:
- Kernel is undervolted
- Remove a lot from debug
- Remove a lot nonsene logging
- Optimize some settings / parameters
flashed and testing So far no bugs. Great work!
Thanks for Info.
Have you exfat sdcard inside?
V2 Beta is online...
Correct some changes..
I've just installed your V2 with no problems at all... I had to reboot twice for magisk to pass safety net.. Everything seems to be working OK... What differences should I be noticing?
Thanks for your hard work on this kernel.
. I have been rooting phones for about 12 years now and I am always always impressed with the time and skill you guys put in...
Thanks again
