I really dont understand how is GM's kernel casuing lag. Im on stock 4.1.2 and everything is running perfectly smooth.

If people want to get a 100% lag free phone then go get the fruit phone instead
[Galaxy S III General] digkong:
Just installed the latest version of siyah.. And what I feel is that the kernel is actually a bit laggy when scrolling through any content let be in Samsung apps or any third party apps..mostly in stock apps only though.. Scrolling usually have some hiccups.. But this not the case on stock kennel.. Though stock kennel is also not perfect but is still better..

I've been using your kennel for very long time.. But the performance on my s2 with this kennel was always top noche.. But ever since I got s3 and installed your kernel it hasn't been much better performance wise.. Hope your can do something to have that magic performance back..

Thanks..
[Galaxy S III General] sduford:
Gokhan said he made a couple of mistakes when he built 1.8.3 that could cause some lags. He immediately released 1.8.4. No lags whatsoever for me, you might want to try a different scheduler or governor.
[Galaxy S III General] digkong:
Like I said latest version..

I don't say that lags are everywhere but they are only in Samsung apps.. But in stock kennel is smooth..

Yes I tried different settings but still don't make much difference..
[Galaxy S III General] c0manche:
Flashed 1.8.4 not seeing any lags so far after a couple of hours
[Galaxy S III General] slipudatung:
I had a massive crawl then a reboot. Not doing anything abnormal. Gonna keep monitoring and try pull a log if it happens again.
[Galaxy S III General] jaykeeley:
just installed ELKC, then rooted and installed 1.8.4, worked for a while, then stweaks said unexpected error, then on reset got boot loop. Tried installing all of them again, ELKC was fine, ELKC and root was fine, but then 1.8.4 caused bootloop on install. Gonna have to revert to 1.8

read the last few pages in the dev thread and last page here but can't see anyone else with the problem.

Seriously, faster and smoother than an Iphone and I never thought that was possible with Android. No matter what I do I cannot get it to lag or stutter anywhere even when flinging it round all over the place. Rock stable and yes, decent battery life too. YES! You

Changing gpu voltage in 1.8.4 seems to work for sometime and oddly it crashes the system and restarts most of the time.

And can someone explain me the new gpu voltage mechanism in 1.8.x? For 533mhz its showing 1100mv as default voltage:eek:

Could you share your remount script..??
[Galaxy S III General] InevitableDJ:
GM,

any chance you can revert back to the old sound scheme? Now it just seems like there's no bass with eargasm. Just sounds pretty bad and I'm a bass junkie lol. So for me the more the better to the point it doesn't distort. I'll be grateful if you can revert back to the old scheme and obviously the people who don't like bass can use the equalizer to tone it down but I can't tone it up.
[Galaxy S III General] c0manche:
Reverted back to 1.8 and definitely seems more fluid and less laggy

[Galaxy S III General] GrayJack:
Testing 1.8.4 - yes, lags which exists in 1.8.3 are absent.... almost, because

still is a problem. Too bad!

It should be noted Perseus kernel is free of this problem. GM, possibly you can ask AndreiLux how did he find a solution for this?
[Galaxy S III General] carlos67:
Certainly Sir! Here you go..............

#!/system/bin sh

sleep 30

# Remount all partitions with noatime

for k in $(busybox mount | grep relatime | cut -d " " -f3);

do

#sync;

busybox mount -o remount,noatime $k;

done;

mount -o noatime,remount,rw,discard,barrier=0,commit=60,journal_async_commit,noauto_da_alloc,delalloc /cache /cache;

mount -o noatime,remount,rw,discard,barrier=0,commit=60,journal_async_commit,noauto_da_alloc,delalloc /data /data;

mount >> /sdcard/mounts.log;

Remember, very small risk of data corruption but I've run this script for months with no issues.

To check its in use, 1 minute after a reboot look at the "mounts.log" file on your internal SD card and at the bottom it should say for cache and data barrier=0 commit=60 for both.

Edit: it looks like there is a space in the word "journal". There isn't and shouldn't be. But the XDA app wont let me remove the space for some reason. Odd.
[Galaxy S III General] gokhanmoral:
we are using different bases.. Andrei is cherrypicking from several Samsung kernels while I am now using n8020 as the base because Samsung is releasing leaks while keeping the kernel sources hidden.

maybe one of his merges/picks fixes that or one of his other changes make the device response faster after/while exiting deep sleep.

I doubt I can find the reason and I also doubt AndreiLux can answer if I ask for the reason.

If we had meaningful patches from Samsung it would be easier to track that, and instead of blindly moving from one base to another we would cherrypick them separately.

But I am not one of Samsung's engineers and that tiny lag doesn't bother me.

Probably it will be gone after samsung releases the sources of the new kernel (update7?)

and honestly, the only reason that I am still around is that my wife likes the screen size, or I would buy her another phone already and sell all my Damnsungs...

We all owe your wife a thanks then ;) As such i'll refrain from using the obvious innuendo joke :p

[Galaxy S III General] cba1986:
I respect and appreciate your work. But still don't understand the hate towards Samsung Phones. Yes, It's a disaster on developer level because of the lacks of sources. But on casual user level it is a pretty good phone. I like Sony though . The lack of sources is not new, Samsung's terrible support comes back since the S1, but people buy them more than ever. On my side i'm pretty satisfied with my S3. In the future i will consider a Sony or a Nexus. But the lack of a Sdcard kills me-

Wraping up. It's gonna be very sad to see you leaving this part of the forum. Good luck on Sony's side...:good:

No lag/delay whatsoever here @GM. I'm using Widgetlocker lockscreen and unlocking to homescreen is instantaneous. Widgetlocker works brilliantly with Omega Roms and Siyah kernel. You can do sooooooooo much more with it than the standard JB lockscreen. Just need to make sure you disable stock lockscreen in settings/lockscreen (select "none") and also use homehelper in widgetlocker also.

Hi all

Can someone guide me where can i find CWM by Syiah with dualboot option. After flashing this kernel via CWM 5.5.0.4 CF-v1.5, CWM itself is the same.

Is hijack recovery option in STweaks will do this? I want to test some roms with DB option.
[Galaxy S III General] jnr21:
Open stweaks app (if you don't have it, dl it via play store), go to dualboot tab, press "hijack recovery", now you have siyah cwm as primary recovery. Or if you want to keep your old recovery, you can temporary boot to siyah cwm by pressing "reboot into 2nd rom utils" in stweaks (dualboot tab).

Should point out that this is my first android phone.. hence the questions.

This is a great kernel, very fast and great battery life however I have two questions, which app is everyone using to change their GPU settings? I use SetCPU for the CPU setting but I can't find anything similar for the GPU.

And

Has any one had problem with media streaming after using this Kernel? On the stock kernel I don't have any problem with media streaming but with this kernel no matter which app I try to use, media streaming just won't work.

Many thanks
[Galaxy S III General] Lead foot:
ah, I didn't have the latest version. 1.5 beta6 has GPU frequency steps the one I had installed only had voltage levels for the GPU. I wonder if the latest version will also fix the media streaming issue? One way to find out.

Providing you backup your rom. Then all your app and user data with titanium backup(can even set it to backup too extsd, if ur worried about space). Its just a matter of re-installing siyah. BUT BACKUP FIRST!

What are your tressholds and staycount for the gpu?

I had to set 1025mv for 533 and 1050mv for 600 otherwise gta3 hangs time for time with your mv.

Now with that extra of -25mv its playing all smooth. Phone feels very warm also.

Gonna test some more games if its stable for them also.
[Galaxy S III General] DocterD:
Is there a list with all defaults MV from all GPU Steps?
[Galaxy S III General] davelinders:

For higher clockspeeds you need to test whats mv is stable for you.

The 1800 means the steps or something 18 steps scaling so its less choppy.

[Galaxy S III General] Hagis:
For better Battery:

In STweaks

- CPU undervolting from -25 -it runs ok i don't know if -50 is working fine

-Max clock 1000 mhz

-Gpu - you can decrease voltages and clocks

- Brightness - minimum (i'm missing for a option in STweaks for staying in lower brightness adjust to default one, like in S2 kernel)

- unused radios off (WiFi, 3G, NFC, BT, GPS) i suggest use 2x battery from PLAY for it.

-profile program (like Tasker, Phoneweaver f.e.,)and set airplane mode for night (from f.e 23:00 - 4:00)

also battery saver from antutu is quite nice (it automaticly underclocks CPU)

Has anyone noticed that if you disable force GPU rendering in 2D applications, the transitions when starting and exiting apps becomes a lot smoother?

I'm guessing that if the phone is so fast it doesn't give enough time to the GPU and CPU to switch, therefore it stutters sometimes.
