I too was having a lot of lags/freezing when opening apps, scrolling, using keyboard etc. So I've gone back to beta 15 which is fine for me :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] plutozz:
Dear GM, a minor bug to report regarding sound. I'm on Ronen DLIB and Siyah 1.6. There are no sound come out from media player ( Neutron, JetAudio, etc. ) after listening to stock FM Radio. Only a reboot then you can listen to your music ( media player ). In other words, you can have music ( media player ) as long as you dont listen to stock FM. I tried to replicate this behaviour on stock insecured kernel but everything went fine. BTW, this behaviour happen to Perseus kernel as well. I would think it might have to do with voodoosound. Other than this, the kernels is fine and smooth. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Steve_max:
AFAICT, the slowdowns seem random. They're connected to high memory usage, but there's no clear cut way to make them happen. I have Chrome always open, with 5-10 tabs. The one that seems very heavy on RAM is the desktop version of Facebook. When a slowdown happens, all input and output seem to enter a queue. Feels exactly like heavy thrashing on Linux, your mouse movements/screen touches are only registered seconds later (confirmed by dmesg).

Writing this made me think about it. We don't have a swap file, but mmapped files can be swapped out; so, one of the biggest factors in Linux desktop performance (swappiness) can come into play. So, I have just set my swappiness to zero (or, "avoid swapping out anything as long as possible), from the default of 60 (which is quite trigger-happy with evicting pages). My initial reaction was that this shouldn't help at all; but since the kernel is trying to evict tons of things, it is possible that a lower swappiness will help. A quick Google search shows a thread where people experimented with swappiness on a different phone, different OS, but also without swap; and it seems to have helped. I'll let it run for some time and see if it helps here.

--

By the way, if it's something like this (VM management), the most bizarre part of my dmesg is perfectly explained. If the CPU is waiting for things to come/go from RAM, it means the CPU isn't working at full speed; possibly there isn't enough bandwidth to send the processes from RAM to the CPU caches, and therefore, one or more of the cores can be turned off. This explains why I was getting a load average above 20, massive slowdowns with barely any GPU usage, and still had cores turned off. I saw one core turning itself on after 15 seconds of slowdown, which is just impossible with pegasusq under such load - unless the core couldn't be turned on for a lack of bandwidth.

very strange cause i have about the same amount of memory 200mb and its buttery smooth and animation amazeing and not experienceing any of the issues but i never ran anything other than siyah kernel and criskerlo rom since i had my galaxy s 3. i dont have any addon sdcard on mine,maybe someone could swap that sdcard out,do a backup of their rom, install fresh rom with siyahkernel and see what happens? just a suggestion :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
I removed pegasusq tweaks in v1.6.1 which might help with those kswapd0 and other processes hogging cpu while having low memory.

also reniced kswapd0 to 15

I also have some seldom lags here and there but they are not more than when I was using any other rebased version.

especially after receiving "rebased rc2 is having the same lag" kind of comments I try not to care "I also have lag" comments.

I compared the whole source tree with the original i9300 sources and I found no reason to have such a lag.

the only reason I thought that was the pegasusq tweaks which made turning the second, third and fourth cores on later and it will be removed in the next version.

and if you still have those lags you should consider moving to another kernel because I have no solution for those.

and +1ing to others will not help me on this thread.

KennyLegend was obviously kidding lol

I'm downloading 1.6 final and going to give it a try, though to be honest I am afraid I will get the same as with RC2. Really hoping somehow 1.6 final works as it should.

And Gokhan's post about dualcore mode made me want to test this as well. It's just as simple as I think right, settings Dual core instead of quad core in Stweaks, that's it?

edit: having a lot of "unsuccesfull downloads". Hope I can actually get my hands on 1.6 :P
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] GrimPivo:
What is this - "dual core mod"?

You can just set dual core mode in Stweaks.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Stivikivi:
Thanks found it
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
yes. that simple. it sets a pegasusq parameter so you can also use the same method with setcpu or a script in another kernel.

I am one of those who thinks quad-core is not so necessary on a mobile phone. dual-core performs at least as well for me.

But I do not play games and maybe quad core can make a difference in a real muti-threaded game.

v1.6

:

Do I am the only one here to get my device freeze when charging with AC while device is OFF ?

Fact : just turn off device, plug to charger, see the animation finishing and screen turns off, 1 min later : try to turn on the screen : impossible. Unplugging the charger let the red led ON forever.

I tried it 2 times and same problem for both.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xanthrax:
so , here i go ...

stweaks completly default NO changes

no modifications on rom like tunning scrpits more than viking rom has been implemented already

first , after flash it took a whille to settle and then worked fine .

i noticed some memory leak (cooltools widget always on) telling me about that . it might be widget fault (!) but overall there where no LAGS on screen swype whatsoever .

i did another reboot and then noticed that memory get an average of 200 on normal usage .

opening some apps (gmail, tapatalk, setings , sms , phone ...) one after the other i`ve seen the memory going down to 100 , long pres on home, removing them from background , memory jumped to 200+

the ones above are normal behaviours AKAIK, so it`s not kernel related though but ...

two hrs after i`ve got a HOT reboot (the phone restarted itself without going through boot animations) when tryin` to switch quickly wif/data

then it was fine , i went for a rest leaving the phone without data/wifi/sync reseting cpuspy timers to see the deep sleep (check pic)

-=-

after another reboot due to using titanium to freeze some apps (here it could be m fault as well) , the phone didn`t start ,wipe data/ factory reset performed

-=-=-

down below are some samples and i`ve got no ideea if it will help .

-=-

i`ve seen that the v1.6.1 is out . my issues were on v1.6 so i`m useless now ...

Quick question;

Does the new JB kernel add exfat support to cm10 or does exfat still not work on cm10?

I really need exfat so my sdcard works finally on cm10.

Looks like I didn't succeed to download 1.6 after all hahaha. 1.6.1 is up, downloading (got unsuccessful at 99% ><)

Really want to try dual core mode (to see how it performs in real life usage not benchmarks)

Edit: using another browser I finally downloaded 1.6.1

Flashed OK. Smooth and fast. Set phone to Dual Core 1.5GHz. Phone still as smooth and fast.

And wifi is working perfectly (since I saw some changes regarding wifi in 1.6.1)

Hi gokhanmoral,

Just flashed 1.6.1, thanks for the fix about sys/class/misc/mali_control/staycount_control it works fine. I really appreciate the speed at which you act (maybe not the right words), awesome! ;)

Maybe 1.6.1 is a little faster (or placebo effect? :D) in any case I haven't experienced any lags with 1.6 and here with 1.6.1 it seems great with a little more speed in general use.

Thanks for your work! ;)

Me too...

Noticed it only this morning when getting the phone off the plug. However frozen the phone was, it did charge (not fully) nonetheless. Weirdly enough, I plugged (phone turned off) at 40% and rebooted (looooonng press on power button) at 98%. Yet, it should have filled up, over the night.

Flashing 1.6.1 right now. I'll test immediately to see if that problem's still there or if it's solved.

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

OK... I tried again.

Flashed 1.6.1.

rebooted and stayed on the phone for 5 or 6 minutes for a complete start-up.

Turned off the phone.

Plugged it to the mains.

The icon with the battery appeared, moved a bit, then dimed (all that is the usual behaviour)

then the screen went off and the led started, in red.

However, a quick press to the power button, instead of waking the thing up to the "green pulsing icon of a battery" did nothing. A longer press did finally bring up that battery icon screen.

I finally rebooted.

So the problem seems to still be there, albeit maybe in a slightly weaker form. Not a massive problem, though. I'll charge in airplane mode instead (I want to be off the grid when sleeping. Been waken up at ungodly hours a number of times, so now that's an absolute with me!)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MattBooth:
I've been getting the random lags quite a lot with 1.6rc1 and rc2.

I also get lags when installing a lot of applications (for instance, restoring form Titanium) on the STOCK kernel. Jelly Bean doesn't seem to like a lot of writing to the internal SD for some reason.

My post won't help much but I'm holding off until I can get a more stable version. I really like the sharp text and usb charging rates about this kernel.

Ok, on a side note, I have updated to stock deodexed official JB without full wipe, but so far so good with 1.6.1. Occasional lags still happened, but I think it might be the app's fault rather than the kernel side as it has been running really well on other apps.

However, has anyone tried the NTFS mounting? This feature has been listed since the early alpha builds of 1.6 but I have never get it working myself, be it on the leaks or the official. Anyone else has this problem?

People having problem with kernel i have 3 solutions for you.

1. Live with it and wait for a fix

2. Stay with last known good kernel working for you.

3. Provide some useful logs so that the bug can be fixed.

if you cant do any of the above 3 points and are super smart , pls use stock or some other kernels. GOkhan or any other here in xda dosent owe you a penny.. you donate or not it dosent matter a bit.

If you people cant motivate,help people here better keep your mouth shut.

Can anyone shed some light on how the governors are supposed to work? At default it mostly runs quad core while in use and sometimes briefly drops into tri or even rarer dual.

Is this how it is for everyone else? How do you make the drop in core use more aggressive to save power? I find using dual core only mode doesn't seem to drop into single either. Any ideas people?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Someone will probably have a link for the great write up on governors and schedulers. On demand basically hangs at lower freqs while idle then ramps up when needed, interactive is more aggressive I believe, performance will run your max frequency the whole time and is mainly for benchmarks/ stability testing. Then there are several variants that adjust the scaling thresholds. I love when people complain about poor battery and say they are running performance governor

Edit Pegasus was developed by Sammy and is supposed to be the "on demand" for multi core devices which is why a lot of kernel devs try to get that governor working on other devices but this is still the only device I don't use on demand/deadline on although supposedly Google put a lot of work into interactive for Jelly Bean
