[Q] what is this semaphore - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK so I know how to flash a new ROM on normal recoveries on my gs3, my sister who has a gs1vibrant, wants me to update her from parano1dandro1d to cm10.1 I have all the required downloads done. Then I go into recovery and it looks very similar except it has a few more options and other differences and it says semaphore cwm recovery v6.0.1.5. My question is: can I still flash as normal with this recovery? Many thanks

Sure you can. But! You're in wrong section!

Here they come.

I think it's quite fast to be honest. We had a ROM and root before the device was even released!
Saying that, I'm pleased with the speed and interface on the s3 as it is (for now), so finding little reason to install custom.
Once voodoo is enabled on a kernel I'll look at installing a custom one.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
lols you call being rooted already even when the rooter didn't have the device slow?
you call having beta roms already floating around even when the device was just released slow?
the only time i'll say development is slow is if a certain gavin-phelan actually manages to develop something let's say the next decade for this sgs3.
come on you devs! where are your developments?!?!?! what's taking all of you so long?! it's so easy to develop something you know, even us random posters cand do it fast and easy!
you are all so ##$$&@*@ slow for gavin-phelan's sake!
very few devs would spend $700 for a device.

USA has different specs and this model is not going to get released here anyway. To the op, cm9 developers are working on this and aosp roms always take some time after release since they have to do some device specific tweaks. Right now most roms will be stock variants.

YOU WILL NOT GET ANY UPDATES IF YOU ARE ROOTED... stock rom or not if you are rooted then no more ota updates.. you will have to just install by flashing your rooted phone.

I agree with you on waiting for a stable release. I need something I know will work, but I'm very excited that CM has moved to JB so quickly.
The only OTA update I need is a download of my next custom ROM.

There's no way to port that over. It requires TW framework and libs which cannot be ported over because it is very different.

Use the guide hpp posted and you can put the cwm file anywhere you want on the SD card I even have a folder named roms that I keep my mods in in cwm all you have to do is navigate to the folder using the volume keys then select the folder using the power button and then select the ROM/mod and flash it. Also aroma installers are the most customizable they let you select different bootanimations ect.

If someone likes cm. It is a nice rom. So yes try it. But there are many who like sense very much. But this is so fast compared to sense. I use TL kernel with it under clocked to 918. Still very fast.I also use trickster mod for kernel settings. It was simply a suggestion.
