Come on, he lives for updating ten different versions of kernels everyday. It's what makes him get up in the morning.... <JK>

I wouldn't update them either... I'm wondering when we will get the, "why isn't elcair supported anymore. :)"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
On a similar note, why hasn't Microsoft updated Windows 95 since 1997? ;)

And why is no one complaining that Sprint stopped releasing updates for 4.1.1 after they released MA6? Shouldn't MB1 be based on LJ7 just like MA6? In fact, why do they keep basing each update on the most recent previous version, instead of basing every update on the original? It's almost as if they mean to keep moving forward with their updates instead of reinventing the wheel twice a month... Weird... ;)

Does anyone see yet why it is silly to expect a second update to an already updated kernel? It would be like asking Ford to go back and add all the latest technology and performance parts to the original model T while still calling it a model T instead of a Mustang... The last 4.1.1 kt kernel did receive an update - to android version 4.1.2 ;)

CM10.1 4/7 with KT747 4/7 (That's a lot of 4s and 7s. lol) has been running great! Idles well and stable. Only setting change made was to ktoonservative.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
It is actually 850 stock. I experienced static lots of it. At 925 the static nearly vanishes. But static does happen right up to 950mv when streaming audio to any Bluetooth receiver no exceptions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
Interesting. I haven't experienced any static when my calls or music are output through my buetooth car stereo at 900 but maybe I just haven't noticed it. I'll give it a listen a little more closely next time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hermeticist:
Weird issue:

With latest kernel when going to a new screen on Facebook, cool reader, and Amazon store, when going to a new page, the previous screen would flick on.

This didn't happen on stock CM10.1 04062013.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fabzbear:
I get that too. Tried different governors as well and that didn't change.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 02lssport:
Does anyone else have issues with poweramp distorting music with this kernel have tried other kernels and they don't do it really want tho use this kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramondel:
Read 4 posts above yours, they are discussing the effects of UV and Bluetooth.

Ramon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
It's a long running issue, related to voltages not the kernel directly. As any kernel supporting uv can cause it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Strange thing is, I use Pandora a ton. Also use TuneInRadio a lot. Both work great for me. In the car using a wired adapter, in the office over Bluethooth to the Speaker, and over WiFi downstairs to the other Speakers. I'm UV' d at least 50 across the board most times. I've only come across the crackling noise once. It was interference near a radio station.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 02lssport:
I have no issues with streaming radio it's only poweramp and it's only certain music
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
You have had that issue buddy since you have loaded a under volt kernel since the start as you imply. I agree very much this is voltage related for ARM CPUs in general and the weaker chips seemingly the ones more effected. You definitely are not blaming the kernel as you state... before it is perceived wrong by anyone reading your posts previous.

Freecharlesmanson can you please for sake of testing grab the latest busy box update and install, then please grab terminal if not installed and follow this link to determine what classification CPU you have?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36788330

Please let me and or the thread know what it yields. Also would you kindly report the rev# in about phone next to CPU heading next to Arm processor etc. Mine is rev 0 and they can have some troubles possibly a weaker revision and having a Slow or sometimes even Nominal labeled CPU can have issues on under volt or under clock. Of which you do not do either but perhaps worse case scenario some of those combos of the above could produce a CPU needing over stock voltage, then again the voltage you mention is still within the spec of I think the highest Samsung volt table for this CPU I could be wrong but 950mv might be the true minimum for the lower MHz range. Again I am not sure if not it is the 925mv instead.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fabzbear:
Would the kernel have any type of effect when I try to connect my phone to a tv.

I use to be able to connect my s3 to my tv through the adapter and hdmi chord.

Like anything like changing kernel or scheduler or over clocking?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
No those will not effect it. The ability to do that lies within the kernel and the ROM, they both need to have the code in them to do it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fabzbear:
Once again thanks for your quick reply.

I guess my next question is does your kernel have the code that supports it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Of course, I never touch that stuff, that code always remains stock in all my versions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fabzbear:
Thanks much appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] whatsleft4her:
Are you going to update the tw kernel to the 4/7 features?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
TJ already has all the good stuff, you guys got it ahead of AOSP :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] whatsleft4her:
Oh ok just bc the link in the op is from 3/27
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Thats not the latest, there is a test one that is just as good as a release buried in here somewhere, lol.

EDIT:

Here is 4.1.2 version from 4/5

Not on Sprint, USC is 3 weeks behind and he wanted an updated version
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bsg411:
cool...thx for the quick reply
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Nice work KT good to see US Cellular updated too :) looks like as you said things are quieting down :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clothednblack:
Latest update running perfectly! Thank you ktoonsez for supporting my carrier and letting me share the goods. We all appreciate it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fabzbear:
Has anyone managed to tame smartass h3 by tuning it and getting good results?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
rev 0.

fast

I would point out that the issues I mentioned regarding those with misgivings is crackling.... it is not interference. in a digital stream interruption it will result in chopiness, breakup but not cracking. bt is digitally compressed crackling will not be possible as raw output never occurs. my op was strictly commenting on the default uv tables, my device obviously isn't everyone's likewise this hardware issue maybe somewhat uncommon. again I'd like to kindly thank ktoonsez, everyone on here contributing. my sincere gratitude!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
I see :) The fast classification is good news so its a good chance in upper ranges voltage is not a issue, I think what eats at both our CPUs is the rev0. Some do just fine no issues but others there have been reports that the lower MHz do not handle under volt, some even need just over stock at those ranges and some trying to under clock seem to not be stable at all on those ranges. I have a feeling your 384 range needs the 925-950 MV as you mentioned and you are likely not alone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
Just an FYI for any of you that have flashed the new MC3 TW leak, ktoonsez 4/5 4.1.2 TW kernel works just fine with it.

I would imagine ktoonsez isn't going to update a kernel based on leaked MC3 unless the source gets posted on Samsung's site and if that happens then MC3 will be the official OTA for our GS3's. I am doubting MC3 is actually going to be an OTA so I doubt the source code ever gets released for it.

Edit:

Nevermind I am having issues with my SDcard mounting using Ktoonsez kernel with the new MC3 leak. So I am guessing it isn't completely compatible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jon.StatiK:
I was reading on the undervolting and I decided to see which CPU I have But all I'm getting is this. I don't see any rev number at all unless I'm blind.

Edit: Found out I have rev 4 cpu but typing dmesg | grep ACPU in terminal immediately after rebooting yields the output in the screen shot below every time. ideas?

Try grabbing latest busy box from playstore and doing the smart install. Then rerun commands. For CPU revision go to settings>about phone look at CPU line.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jon.StatiK:
Installed busybox, rebooted, then ran the command and it still shows the dame thing. lol I don't understand.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] maxima2k53:
Would like to know this too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Samurai7314:
That's weird. No problems here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
Yeah maybe my scard is going out. Class 10 samsung 32gb less than a year old but I reformatted it and it is working better but with the newest version of TWRP (2.5.0.0) I can't do a backup to the sdcard just to internal memory. So I don't know what is going on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
There were a number of reports of corrupted 32gb sd cards a while back... But I can't remember if the fix was reformatting or replacement...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
I'm thinking unplugging and plugging in my phone to my computer troubleshooting Odin yesterday may have messed it up, but the new TWRP still doesn't want to backup to the sdcard even after a format. Keeps failing.

Anyway I don't want to stray off topic so I will figure out without posting more about it because whatever it is it probably is not the kernel causing it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] awillis111:
When you go into the Restore screen, just

above the slider, tap where it says storage. Then select internal or external.

All battery related stats are using a ZeroLemon 7000mah battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
Really man? I mean thanks for the suggestion but don't you think I already did that. I mean I said it fails on the "external SD card" It fails on external SD not internal SD. The problem with internal was that each of my backups were 3.5GB so it was very quickly filling up my internal memory, but this morning it backed up on the external SD and worked without failing, so maybe it was just a weird glitch.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
Glad to hear that the problem cleared up :)

But his suggestion to switch storage locations is not out of line - he was just focusing on how to work around the card issue to get something to flash rather than how to fix the sd card ;)

Ktoon you're the man!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mawst95:
I'm running your AOKP ROM you posted a couple days ago. Do you think the latest kernel here had advantages over the stock kernel in that other ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cooki3monst3r77:
Where can the 4/5 kernel be found, sir? The link in the OP goes to a 3-27 kernel.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] epic4GEE:
To the poster above....hope you were referring to the tw kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Thanks for the update KT, always on top of things! Take care on your trip.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cooki3monst3r77:
YES!

Thanks KT! Yes I was referring to TW. :cyclops:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Lots more options in this kernel vs stock AOKP :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fabzbear:
Check a few pages back. Like three or four. Guess he just needs time to update the op. Till then just look a few pages back for the link.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Hrm, the 4/5 kernel seems to be performing worse than the 3/27 kernel for some reason. With the same settings, (486/1890mhz, vr/interactive), I score about 6000 on Quadrant with 3/27 and only 5200 with 4/5.

I was wondering if there was anyway to OC the GPU to 487? I see it as an available option in Trickster, but it sets it right back to 400 if I try to change it.

EDIT: Hrm, seems like on the 3/27 kernel, Antutu constantly crashes when trying to run a benchmark. The stability test completes just fine though. On the 4/5 kernel, Antutu will crash occasionally but it will also eventually run and complete the benchmark. Anyone else have issues like this? Idk, the 3/27 kernel just feels a whole lot smoother on my phone and the benchmarks reflect that feeling (Well, Quadrant, since Antutu keeps crashing).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
OP Updated

Change Log 4/11/2013

1. Upgraded to newest Linaro compiler

2. Fixed multiplier problems in some of the schedulers

3. Updates to KTweaker for some error handling

4. Scheduler/Entropy optimizations

ENJOY!!!!!!!! :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
Would the entropy optimizations interfere with something like CrossBreeder?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nomad64:
KT. It looks like you posted the incorrect link for this in the OP. The link under AOSP 3.4 is actually the 3.0 ZIP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Thanks, got the OP fixed :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Thank you ktoonsez :D . About to DL, and Flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] haoleflip:
Ok, so all previous versions of this kernel caused bootloops and crashing on my device no matter what I tried. But the 4/11 works like a charm so far! *dances* I don't know what happened, but I can finally enjoy what I've read about! :D

Let the tweaking begin!

Beamed from my SGSIII via Tapatalk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Technically it shouldn't as it disables slower entropy generation methods and enables the faster ones by itself like frandom with havege to feed the entropy pool. What would be a good thing to know is what were the basic Entropy changes made to the kernel. Ktoonsez has left for a trip so an answer can wait till it is a good time for KT :)

When you install kernel after booting and you have been so for a decent amount of time, close out of all work and go to terminal and do the kill all to let cross breeder set any links to entropy generation methods as it sees fit and doing so allows it to set ones which were busy at boot as this restarts the GUI and ui but stays booted so cross breeder does its thing before you even see the home screen again.

Command is: su

hit enter

Then type: killall system_server

Hit enter

Holy #&$-%+%:# that's awesome I know the try after try we and others tried to get you booted on the previous versions. Let's rejoice in this victory. :high five: :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
Thanks mw. Another quick question - you think it's ok to restore tweaks from the 4/5 kernel or would you recommend re-setting everything manually?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
You should be fine doing that but if by chance one of the above fixes in the update were involved with a governor or scheduler you had used in the backup it may not restore correct. I would just go ahead and do so and just double check the values appear to be what the backup had as saved values. For the most part you should be fine, it was only a couple multiplier values as mentioned in the change log above. :D

If your backup included row, cfq, or deadline at stock settings I would load the backup then go to schedulers and select a different scheduler then go back to the one you were on and the latest updated cfq,deadline and row tunable should be loaded at that point and then make a new backup :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] epic4GEE:
I'd like to see that as well and built into the ktweaker app for controlling it.:D

I wonder the same, but so far entropy is holding at 4096 so I think we're all good.

Thanks kt, working good here, however I'm just sticking with my previous setup from the 4-5-13 tw kernel....running 378-1458mhz. I'll see what oc'ing does once I feel adventurous. :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
Yup, looks like everything restored just fine. And like epic posted above, the entropy is holding at 4096.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dvtmg704:
Do I have to delete the kt app before installing this new kernel because I have had issues with random reboots on the 4/5 update

WICKED S3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] epic4GEE:
I was on the 4-5 kernel and flashed the 4-11 kernel without doing anything more than wiping cache, dalvik and fix permissions after flashing, also restored my settings from the ktweaker app with no issues yet, was just torturing testing it on some mc4, all seems well. I think you'll be fine, if you had trouble just don't restore your previous settings for ktweaker...start fresh.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Well I flashed the new 4/11 4.1.2 TW kernel, but the 3/27 kernel still out performs it for some reason. I wipe the cache and dalvik before and after installing it. Do I need to delete KT tweaker beforehand too?

I can't help but think since the 3/27 kernel is the kernel I used when I flashed my ROM, that there is something about that making the 4/5 and 4/11 kernel under perform.

For example, I scored a 6400 with 3/27 in quadrant and barely 5000 with 4/11.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
There's a MC4?!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] epic4GEE:
Sorry didn't even think of that lol....mc4 is modern combat 4 (video game), not another leaked rom.

Davelikestacos, my quadrant score is also a bit lower, but to me it's running smoother, so I'm not too concerned with it. If you see something different I'd prolly stay with the 3-27 kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Out2kill:
Your CPU is likely hitting the throttling temp. in the new Kthermal settings. I bumped up both default values 5 degrees and that helped stop the constant throttling.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iamikon:
You need to clear data and force stop ktweaker before installing....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Tried this, still not topping 5000 in Quadrant. It's weird :\ I'm using CleanBean 2.6, and the 3/27 kernel gives me the best performance but startup is incredibly slow and the phone is somewhat unstable. For example, Deep Sleep takes about a minute or two to load up once the phone is rebooted. I've also noticed some random reboots when using it. With the 4/11 kernel, no crashes, everything boots and starts quickly, but the smooth feeling and benchmark scores are nothing like with the 3/27 version. Is there anyway to disable the KThermald? Since this is one of the differences, I assume this is causing it, even though I raised the throttling temperature to start at 68 degrees and stop at 60.

What kind of Quadrant scores are TW users getting with the latest kernel, with or without overclock?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
I don't really care about Quadrant scores but my phone is running noticeably smoother on the 4/11 kernel so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] NYCHitman1:
What ROM are you running it on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
MOAR v2.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Very odd. I get 12800 at 1674. To disable kthermal just add 20 degrees to the stock steps

Edit:

Didn't see u said quadrant. I use Antutu
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tony45x220:
Hey I'm wondering if anyone can help me out... the kernel is nice and smooth with great battery life so far... but I know it could be so much better looking at my frequency times... it never seems to settle down... it's always bouncing all over the place as you can see in this screenshot...

I'm using Ktoonservative gov, noop scheduler, I scale all the way down to 81mhz, I'm highly undervolted (775mv@81mhz) I don't know what the issue is?

Sent from my rooted, suited, and booted SGSIII livin the dual-core life, know dat
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
U r too low at 81 mhz. The ROM needs more juice so it keeps having to recover from being so low. I recommend 189. U can try 135 but might do the same thing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I restored my settings without any issues so far. Been running 4 /11 Kernel since last night. Running great. Thanks again ktoonsez :D

What I did before flashing the new kernel as a precautionary measure was :

1. Force stop Ktweaker

2. Clear Data on Ktweaker app

3. Remove Ktweaker SU permissions

4. Reboot

5. Let it boot up, ignore Ktweaker asking for permission

6. Boot into Recovery

7. Wipe Cache

9. Wipe Dalvik

10. Flash Kernel

11. Wipe Cache

12. Wipe Dalvik

13. Fix Permissions

14. Reboot and enjoy

May be overkill. But it worked great for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] avd:
You only fixed permissions once?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iamikon:
Yes you only need to fix permissions once after you install the kernel. Anymore than that is pretty pointless. Also the extra reboot is pointless. Stop ktweaker. Clear data. Rebiit recovery. Flash kernel. Wipe dalvick. Wipe cache. Fix permissions. Profit. This has been mentioned several times in this thread as well as other kernel threads :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tony45x220:
Do you mean the voltages I set for 81mhz is too low or just using that frequency while the screen is off is too low period?

Sent from my rooted, suited, and booted SGSIII livin the dual-core life, know dat
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Both I do believe buddy :) honestly arm CPUs like ours should be 825mv or up even at lowest MHz but some get much lower... As KT points out error correction kicks in and things take much longer than at stock or a little lower voltages.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ndno:
Hi

Can someone please post their ktweaker Settings file with this latest kernel? I was previously on version Feb 7 of this kernel and the ktweaker version was older. Prior to updating to this latest I followed the steps of disabling ktweaker and clearing it's data. I then booted to recovery, flashed the new kernel, cleared cache and dalvik and fixed permissions. After restarting I loaded the old Settings file from the previous version of ktweaker and that where my phone became unstable... It looks like the frequencies no longer matches... For example my old settings min was 192Mhz and now I see 189Mhz. By the way I'm still using freegs3 jellybean 3.0.0 ROM. I just want decent battery life and a stable system... I was using ktoonservative on the previous version and I wasn't over clocking, just running at the stock default of 1.5ghz. Hopefully someone with a similar setup can post their settings file. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JAG50:
ktoonsez,

Congrats, your latest 4.1.1 kennel has done wonders with the chemistry 6 ROM. Faster, smoother, solid. Heck, it would take 10 to 12 seconds to activate the multi-window feature and now it activates almost instantly. Thanks for the hard work and also to your collaborators.
