How to use
Please read How to use Semaphore JB guide for information about the features

In order to load various modules of the kernel and enable or disable features use Semaphore Manager or 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.
Custom Voltage may be configured with Voltage control or similar applications.

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

New version 2.0.3c
- fix USB mounting
- fix netfilter issues (netfilter is now built into the kernel, no need to enable it from Semaphore application)
It includes all the changes of 2.0.1c
- /data partition added nodiratime, data=writeback to mounting options (a little bit more risky)
- ondemand: io_is_busy = 1 by default
- Radio FM as module again
- CWM update to 6.0.1.1 (includes selecting backup type, thanks to Koush)
- CWM added option to mount external USB storage (thanks to krarvind)
- CWM removed multiple 'no' in confirmations (create a file .multi_confirm in /sdcard/clockworkmod/ if you want multi confirmations)
- cleaned some stuff...

Normal versions (for CM10 or ROMs without hugemem configuration)
2.0.3c
- 373.5MB - 385.7MB

For Slim Bean ROM or patched ROMs with hugemem configuration
2.0.3sc
- 386.5MB - 398.7MB

Great kernel! But when will the compass work?
I'm on Semaphore 2.03c+CM10.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Thanks.
It doesn't work?
