There is big difference on real hard disk with mechanical heads.

On flash it should be less noticeable.

Anyway, I prefer not to re-partition my flash now and not to use external card for swap because sometimes I take it out.

zram really has more priority.

I hope we'll more options for zram size in future releases.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] danarama:
Yes that's the freezing I have. But it only started when I edited the XML
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] KMino:
Very bad in Swype, is a bit random.

GT Racing Academy crashed a few times too.. Noticed I had default settings on again in STweaks (not sure how it changed, I might have forgot I did it when resetting everything). CFS is back on Linux defaults. Changed some zram settings, more balanced. Did some testing in the last hour and just now swyping and it seems ok :D

Still testing tonight, if all is ok shall post the settings to make sure.. but I think it is the zram, remember this happening on the SGS1 :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] radeonxt:
quick!

let's try flashing that with CWM.

hehehehe

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tolis626:
I don't think zRAM is the problem.I have set it to 300mb and no problems so far.Maybe it's something else...

Really?I dunno what the problem is.But thinking that it played awesomely on the GS2 with its 267MHz GPU is kinda disappointing... :p

Dead Trigger plays very smoothly once the hiccups I mentioned stop.And by smoothly I mean 60fps or something close to it.And it doesn't need an overclocked GPU.Its problems are with undervolting the GPU.It becomes retarded (:p ).NOVA 3 is a different story.Half of the time it's ok with 440MHz.But when environments start getting too complicated(like the level with the sandstorm on Boreas) it lags kinda badly-looks well below 30 fps.Anything over 533MHz is a massive improvement.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
You said it, "less noticeable", I always take what I can get ;)

BTW, You can change zram settings in STweaks (Misc).

back to b3 had sound distortion in calls on both sammy and cm10 rom.

@KennyLegend

never had HOX, had Gnex, iPhone, Lumia 800 after SGS2 :) (and still one v, but not mine, but from better half)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bala_gamer:
the poorest among those should me lumia :p

btw if you disable speaker tuning and reduce the speaker amplifier volume you wont have distortion
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
ah ok thanks, kindda new to stweaks :).

actually I liked Lumia very much :p
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bushgegner:
Hi I´m new to the S3 Forums. Finally sold my good old S1 yesterday.

First of all this is a really good Kernel.

But I got sound problems and battery drain with B4.

Back to B3 and things go normal again.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
@gokhanmoral

The beta 4 is a great release,working flawlessly! But the sound through speaker is distorted (even though i disabled speaker tuning) Running latest cm9 nightly... Anyway,is there any possibility to have the hardware eq work on the speaker? I suppose it could be done because back in the days of galaxy s1 i had this feature and it was incredibly helpfull with the loudness on my phone! Since both wolfson chips are register compatible do you think this can be done too? Thank's in advance,really hope you can do that! :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] radeonxt:
i only have distortions on beta4 when i enable speaker tuning + speaker amplifier is 63 and the music is on the parts where there is no bass and just speech by the singer.

for all those who still have distortions despite not enabling speaker tuning, did you set speaker amplifier to 63? first go back to default 57,then play music then slowly work your way up from 58 to 63.

from the thread loud sound tweak by meltus, people are saying 60 is the best.

57 or even is just way too low for us to boast sgs3's loudspeaker capable of giving loud volume without distorting the music.

i have always set loudspeaker to 63 even when this setting wasn't in stweaks. there is no distortion.

btw i've used 63 on stock lfb,lg1,lg6,lg8 and omega 9,9.1, and 10. all no distortionts.

only distortion i found using 63 is the notification for sms as i use "flowers".

that's not a problem, cos i just go to settings > sound > press volume and lower the volume for notifications and ringtones and keep the rest at full volume.

that's it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
i have sound distortion in calls, other part can hear my voice distorted with lot of noise. it doesn't happen with b3. just to clarify.

Hi Gokhan Moral,

Are you able to adjust or disble the thermal throttle?

Thanks !
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tolis626:
Why?Don't you have a frying pan at home? :cyclops:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cyruslam:
With the thermal throttle, it will be useless for overclock the CPU and GPU
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tolis626:
Erm...No?No.Definitely no.My phone overclocks fine and the performance increase is noticeable.Removing thermal throttle would be like removing the locks from your doors.The only thing that will differ under most circumstances will be security.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kartalgurhan:
First, thank you for the response.

Yes, I did followed your recommendation to the letter. I even did a full hard-reset and re-installed the Kernel version 1.5beta4.

But again the only parameter that is not saved is the GPU VOltage.

please do yourself and change parameters and reboot and then using a script app run:

cat /sys/class/misc/gpu_voltage_control/gpu_control

possibly you will see the default values?

thank you again

regards
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
somehow got cm10 in shape with b4 with flashing quite a few modems.

also, no data issue happens with rebooting my device, something not working correctly. if I shut down and power on by button all cool.

so nothing to do with kernel. sorry GM.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] SirCanealot:
Dead Trigger seems to lag for me when the gpu settings are set so that it changes frequency randonly. I have 440/533 as my last two steps right now and I have down at something like 65% to stop it dropping down to 266mhz randomly. So if you set the gpu to only drop when there's definitely less load it should cure your lags. Good luck!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] baste07:
Does zram have impact on battery life?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Nope.

Waiting for GM to update siyah kernel to sammy latest source code to "update4" and final version of kernel v1.5. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
just finished rebasing s2 kernel on update7 sources.

but I have no time left for today to work on s3.

I was planning to release v1.5 but since update4 sources are out I will delay it.

I hope I will have some time tomorrow.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jnr21:
You have time because i say so.

:D Just kidding, take your time and keep up the good work :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Vaddy23:
Can someone post their gpu threshold settings for me? Im confused as what settings are the best in order to keep gpu at higher clock speeds. Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] chavdar:
I find the new auto brightness settings really great. It might be subjective, but my screen always has the right brightness for me (not too bright noy too dark) with 1.5beta4. Thank you gokhan!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jnr21:
So is it a secret or can you share it? :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] zodiaxe66:
The testing kernel 4.0 is for gs2 or am i mistaken..
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jnr21:
Yes it is. 1.5 beta 4 is latest for sgs3.

hmmm also i have noticed that with 1.2v after reboot app drawer was much much longer reloading.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Timo Schmidt:
Pethaps you should just concentrate in samsung or cm9.

Or release two sepparate kernels...

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
that will be a step back :)

and we need a unified kernel to make dual-booting possible.

I fixed the problem. it was related with the init binary I injected just before releasing.

I will test cm9 and then release v1.2.1
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
v1.2.1 is up.

the previous problem was because of the init binary.

I reverted back to samsung one.

it seems to work on both roms now.

and the antutu score is back to 12000+
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] EdgaBimbam:
i can confirm, got 12223 score. Smooth, audio boost is working, amazing kernel.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cba1986:
The audio boost will interfear with voodoosound?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I don't know. but I have provided enable/disable feature just in case.

it is disabled as default. you have to use extweaks to enable it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bala_gamer:
looks like the recovery is removed.. much smaller download size :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
yes :) I will leave that part out.

I decided to provide flashable apps to make dual-boot configuration and for kernel specific recovery options.

they are not ready yet though.

On thing I really don't understand. Why the latest version 1.5beta4 will automatically adjust my minfree from Aggressive to Normal on reboot? Due my V6 Supercharger tells me about that. It just won't stick so I just leave this version a while before fixed. Very strange ?_?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ph3nom:
I agree, the auto brightness on this beta is perfect. I was using lux to control auto brightness but just don't need it anymore.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ausboy 2011:
Use your backed up efs folder Google will be your friend
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nikorette:
Don't think I backed up efs unless it's done automatically
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] marck1991:
in the root of your internal sdcard there should be a file called "efsbackup.tar.gz"

go (with for example root explorer) into root directory and make a backup of the current EFS folder (mark it in the foldername as maybe broken for the future)

now you can delete the hole EFS folder...extract the new EFS folder out of the efsbackup.tar.gz and copy it to the root directory ( where you have deletet the old one)

after a reboot all should be fine again!

PLEASE CONFIRM SOMEBODY THIS PROCEDURE JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE! :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nikorette:
Followed your instructions but unfortunately it did not solve the problem. Although it is good to know I have a efs back up will try googling how to restore.

Thanks for your help guys
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] amg009:

Yes. Had to rename the backup from kernel to efs.tar.gz ran ktool efs backup checker said can't find nv_data.bin.

Took a look in the backup with root explorer and nv_data.bin is defiantly in, here.

Tried restoring the backup with ktool anyway but that didnt work either. Really need my phone for work tomorrow, this is stressful lol

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xos84292:
You can download the source code, and then use the tools to compare the old version, to see what updates.

Samsung almost does not provide the changelog.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FadeFx:
Did u try restoring with nitrality as well? If your backup was made with gs3 toolkit (most likely used for initial rooting) you probably should look if there is a restore option as well in the toolkit.

Hi everyone ,it's just my thoughts

but just imagine galaxy s2 score 40 on basemark on a 480x800 non HD display with 266mhz gpu

when Samsung just increase the gpu by 200mhz and make it 440mhz on galaxy s3 , basemark score 40 on a HD display but when we overclock the gpu by 300mhz and make it 700mhz basemark only gives score of 48 or 49

I think gpu bottlenecks somewhere ,well.we can try different experimental bus freq or internal gpu volt or anything which can give us good results

Everyone please take concern we can make this device an awesome device with an awesome kernel and many thanks to it's awesome dev gokhanmoral

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Well, on our server systems, swap is

always

a partition as well, and we're using SSD drives (so no access issues like hd). Fragmentation is one thing, and as I said, isn't important on flash drives. Filesystem overhead is neglegible, too, which I also said, but not non-existent, so ... I take what I can get. And speed is of the essence here anyway.

And my point also is to wear out a specific range of the memory at the end of the sd card, so should it wear out, you can still use the card by leaving that spot unpartitioned, if it's in the midst of your card, you can throw it away. And if it's in the midst of your internal sdcard, well you do that maths ;)

Anyway, just trying to give my reasons why I prefer a partiton, I'll use it this way anyway, I don't need everybody to agree with me on this :D But would not want people going, oops, damn, had I known this ...

JP.

PS: Consider also the link you posted spoke about a computer system with harddrives, not a phone, if I'm not mistaken (--> 2005, Android initial release = September 20, 2008).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokussjx:
Yank is right.

Basically, don't compare Linux on normal computers (running platter HDD) with portable Linux devices, running SSD.

Settings for each, preferences etc differ.

Another example: Deadline is the best scheduler for SSD such as our smart phones... but deadline sucks on HDD ;)

SWAP works great on SSD, filesystem or partition. But always safer used over External memory, instead of internal. Extreme case,

any corrupt sectors or memory issues, your phone might become useless.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] radeonxt:

Q. "Best I/O Scheduler?"

A.There is nothing called "best" i/o scheduler. Depending on your usage environment and tasks/apps been run, use different schedulers. That's the best i can suggest.

However, considering the overall performance, battery, reliability and low latency, it is believed that

SIO > Noop > Deadline > VR > BFQ > CFQ, given all schedulers are tweaked and the storage used is a flash device.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
The important statement here being :

Noone can tell it for you, you need to experiment and find your own way.

Life's not always easy on us, and sometime we just need to do the (dirty) work ourselves :cool:

JP.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokussjx:
Agreed.

Rephrase: By MY tests, I found Deadline to be best...since SGS days.

PS: Read this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22134559&postcount=4

& Q. No. 7, in this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27385880&postcount=5

Try it, you'll know why. Although, beware, SIO gives better Benchmark results than NOOP, & yet, not actually always faster in terms of User Response. (Doesn't mean its slower, but not faster). Same applies to many. These, just can't be generalized for everyone, or every device.
