Yay! An update! Thanks ktoonsez! <3

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

Quick question though, by disabling the first and second touch boosters, what exactly would happen?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
It doesnt boost the Mhz at all when you touch the screen. Can be a battery saving option :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Thanks for all the great additions Ktoonsez. It just keep getting better. Loving the gpu boost and the new options. I dont know if its just me but seems undervolt stability has been improved. Example 2106mhz needed close to 1320mv min to be stable in anything especially Antutu cpu tests. Im having no probs now around 1280mv for daily use and temps are much better. The whole range seems to be more stable. Nice work its been ultra smooth. You made Ktoonservative, have you thought of making a custom i/o scheduler or a custom version of an existing one like SIO/BFQ/NOOP/Deadline?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Glad you are seeing what I see. This release has a lot of junk that wasnt helping removed and was probably causing more issues than helping. I have been doing it in my spare time, a better version of cfq or noop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Ktoonsez is there a way to change the touch boost settings from a script?

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

Or the gpu frequency?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Nothing for GPU.

Here is Touch booster files:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/touch_booster_first_freq_limit

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/touch_booster_second_freq_limit

Do an echo of the value you want from my list in KTweaker. Example:

You want 1134Mhz do this:

echo 1134000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/touch_booster_first_freq_limit
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pastert33:
Ktoonsez, what is the GPU OC to? Any thoughts on adding an option in the kernel app to change GPU on the fly? Ive seen it with other kernel apps and didnt know how difficult it would be to put in or if you even wanted to. Really appreciate all the work you do for the sprint S3!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Its been removed, didnt help anything and actually caused more instability. Do a search and you will see.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pastert33:
Ahh must have missed it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Very exciting! Its cool feeling the improvements as it progresses. Its really been paying off all the kernel code you have been sifting through. CFQ and NOOP have some of the best performance... Looking forward to what you come up with.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
any plans for different CPU schedulers?

Like bfs

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

Also thanks much for the pointing out the file locations
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
+1 for BFS.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mshnayde:
Hey guys I just installed the kernel as part of running the codename ROM which needs a kernel. However, is ktweaker a good app to use or would it be better to go with? Thanks

Vb:bb
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ghostzyden:
Ktweaker is great. Or ROM toolbox pro.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I can confirm that the latest kernel is able to flash along w/ a rom.. I just wiped data system caches then flashed rom, gapps, wiped caches flashed 9/23 KT747 on Blackbean and all is good.:thumbup:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tjr2010:
It seems my phone just doesn't like this kernel. I know that it must be great using it. When I flash it I do a clean wipe and everything and even flashed a kernel wipe. And all I get is freezes and reboots. What can I do? Its been a long time now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nan239:
What ROM are you flashing this kernel on?

If your flashing AOKP flash the ROM and gapps and then reboot. Once everything is booted up and running flash this kernel. Make sure you wipe cache/dalvik before and after flashing the kernel and then fix permissions. That's what I do and It works flawlessly for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kilawayne:
New to this kernel what's the best governor

G.O.A.T S3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nbeebe24:
Hey ktoonsez, any way you can tweak the colors of our displays in your kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Ktoonservative is the governor that's tweaked and recommended.. freecharlesmanson has a forum specifically for gov..Check it out for more info..

Sent from my BlackBean IV D2spr using KT747 kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Depends on what you want. I like pegasuq since its Samsung's governor for the chip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kilawayne:
A balance between battery life an speed

G.O.A.T S3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G U C C I:
I turned off the touch boosters and it made my phone REALLY slow! :( I was hoping I could try and save some battery by disabling it, but it makes the phone almost unusable. :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Actually, that governor is for the Exynos chip, not the S4. Pegasusq is probably poorly optimized for S4 chips. The msm-dcvs governor is the one made for the S4, but it's been broken in both this kernel and the CM10 kernel for about a month now, so you may as well forget about that one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Great to see you here from the OG EVO forums.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Ktoonservative is the best ! I posted a link to my thread with settings in general its hotpluging conservative governor
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coffeehandle:
None of us really don't like these great constant updates. I hope you know :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrtacos:
I have to agree with you on this. I get the best battery and and speed out of Ktoonservative.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nan239:
I disabled mine as well and I have no issues. What else did you change??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] algirnavi451:
No issues here too. Running Ktoonservative and SIO scheduler with UV -75mV. Phone running smoothly except for crackling when playing music with PowerAMP. Have to overvolt to about +50mV for crackling to go away
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Works great on my phone too, using ktoonservative of course. Could be the gov you choose.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G U C C I:
I'm using ktoonservative too. Just makes everything more sluggish when I turn off the touch booster, I guess.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Ya. Its gonna do that and that's what it was meant to do for people that thought they were loosing battery from the boost. To each there own:thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
I turned it off, works fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G U C C I:
Could it be because I undervolted? I'm using ktoonservative with the settings you posted a few pages back freecharlesmanson and I'm using the Deadline I/O scheduler. Battery is terrific, just noticed that my phone is being rather sluggish.

Edit: For example, I left the max clock speed at 1512 mhz and the voltage that I undervolted to is 1100mv which I beleive is 100mv less than the default.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
idk works pretty good for me. "multicore aware" probably don't make much of a difference if it's 2 or 3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
im having this problem with blackbean4 using ktoonservative governor. after changing governor to ktoonservative, the screen becomes unresponsive, but the hardware buttons still work. anyone else run into this problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I noticed when I swype down to go in an app on nova it wouldn't go..

Edit: switched to noop and all fine and dandy ima dork.:screwy:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mossolb:
I run into this problem if I go into the Performance menu in AOKP ROM control. I just avoid it since we can just use KTweaker.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Switch to noop or Sio....deadline has bad write penalties and most of all can experience request starvation which may well be your lag

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

Its also based on ondemand and while it has nice hotplug features totally lacks effective scaling
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
ahh, i will try KTweaker instead!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Pretty loud on my end during calls. Everything else has been great. Anyone know anyway to get volume down? I tried adjusting it during calls..This kernel is great! I'm a round 68% now with 2 hrs and some mins screen and 9 hrs total...:) I tried a few volume apps and no go..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nan239:
I had two random Reboots in last hour. How can I find out what's causing them??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Depends on if you can decipher log files. If so, use this command:

cat /proc/last_kmsg > /storage/sdcard0/reboot_log.txt

and read through the log.

If you can't read log files, you'll just need to guess. Are you undervolted or overclocked at all? Either of those things could cause reboots. If neither is the case, try uninstalling apps to see if any of them is causing it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nan239:
I'm undervolted by -25 but I never had issues. I'll use log cat and see if I can get anything
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G U C C I:
I just got one a minute ago, but it's only the first one today so I'm fine with it. And I'm undervolted by 100mW so it shouldn't be related to your undervolting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] codexv:
Great ROM. I am not getting Facebook contacts to sync and my calls are extra loud! Switching between 3g and LTE is not always working but a a quick reboot fixes it. Other than that this is great. Thanks to everyone's hard work.:thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Every phone is different so no one can really judge by someone else's phone. If you get reboots and are undervolting, it is more than likely the undervolting's fault. I can go 1 day to 3 weeks without one when I go beyond what my phone capably of undervolting. Its all random and you cant predict. You either keep the undervolt and live with the reboots once in a while or u up the voltage till you stop getting them :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G U C C I:
Thanks for telling me to use noop, rather than deadline with the touchbooster off. No more lag! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Excellent :D :good:. I figured it was something different in our configs cus I dont really see much and hopefully it will save you some battery :good: :highfive:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G U C C I:
How's this for an hour of on screen time?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] icepuente:
I also have experienced great battery life with this kernel. My settings are ktoonservative with sio scheduler and touchbooster off. My undervolt table is - 125 mV for each frequency all on latest 9-25 cm10 nightly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G U C C I:
What's the difference between sio and noop exactly?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
For an exhaustive explanation on governors, check this out: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1369817
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Pretty much noop only has a queue first in first out that's it

Sio is similar but features starvation awareness. ...pretty much it tries to not allow io to get bound to a single operation and thus blocked for all other processes

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

Pretty much noop works well but if you multitask you may notice unpredictable behavior Sio is less likely to perform as well unloaded but more likely to prevent a crap shoot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G U C C I:
Thanks guys! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
If you write your self a script to change certain tunable you may get very good performance from cfq
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G U C C I:
I'm not that smart! ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Well from what I have gathered you need to change the values per block device. So its not so much hard or complicated as annoying even then it won't take any time probably 15minutes I'm gonna write one tomorrow see how it goes mainly setting idleslice and quantum to 0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G U C C I:
Please do report what you find out!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
The idea is well proven with ssd/sata drives
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G U C C I:
If you see that making it positively impacts your device, would you share it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Its stuff all over Ubuntu forms but yeah its pretty simple. ...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
I use no touch boost without problems. I use SIO and Ktoonservative. Depends how you tune your governor too... If its not tuned to ramp up fast enough it will always lag no matter what I/O scheduler. Freecharlesmanson has a good head on his shoulders. I use 96-2106 and it has no prob with no touch boost even with 96mhz minimum. I keep the up threshold and hot plug a bit lower and is still save battery since work is finished quick and cpu can drop to idle speeds or sleep mode.

Ktoonservative runs like performance but saves juice better than any on demand based governor. I use an undervolt as low as i can and it keeps temps low enough to make even 2106mhz for everyday use an option. If i was to stability test for hours it would just shut off but I dont use anything that runs my phone like that.

Anyone notice synthetic scores from benchmarks are higher now. Not only did gpu boost help but memory and cpu are getting faster for same speeds. If you can keep up the amazing work there wont be any bench out there that scores higher in ICS vs JB. So far Quadrant and Linpack for Android and Chainfire Bench are the only ones i can think of. Hadnt ran any in awhile since last updates and Quadrant went up a bit its getting closer to the 6k max it should be at. Antutu is smashing ICS in JB and eating it for breakfast.

GUI with this Kernel is blazing. Keep up the great work.

Guys would deodex, odex, zip aligned or anything else help our roms or anything. I dont know what you do Im on Paranoid Android its rom related right not kernel?

How you guys liking this compared to latest cm10 kernel? I know this is based on it, but still curious. I noticed that multitasking seems better on cm10, as ROM seems to keep processes open longer. Maybe I'm just crazy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Best kernel out there :highfive: :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] air2k57:
I saw that cm10 9/25 nightly had some kernel changes for d2 tree. Since the latest of this kernel was built on 9/23, is it missing those? Hehe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Yes, its missing those, nothing earth shattering though. It wont cause any issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I know I saw one other person report sound on other end being louder than usual during calls..I just went through last few pages and didn't see post...Is it just my device? Sound is about half way up (thats how it sounds to me) but volume only indicates its about 15% up from 0. When I turn it all the way down it doesn't do anything just stays at same volume.. I've had this occur on Blackbean rom and Miui just now. I love this kernel as its waaay superior to anything else out, battery & speed are excellent. I must just have the crap phone.:banghead:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
Its not just your device, just crappy stock ROM code. Not sure if anybody has actually looked into it i the ROM code.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bdubble:
help

flashed this on top of the rom you guys have permissions and all. now i have no service. flashed other roms, other kernels, restore backup.........nothing fixes it.

Edit: flashing modems didn't fix it. Flashed a tw stock ROM called sprint, 45 minutes later a dialer code ##72786#. Fixed.

I forgot to mention that I had this problem too. I reflashed my modem and everything was normal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JBakey:
I only have one problem with this kernel. I can't undervolt any lower! Haha jk, its awesome. Running the minimum voltage I can go at the lowest frequencies and they're all dropped the same amount. -200mv I think. Still stable as hell. No freezes or reboots (: I always get lucky with good hardware. I can't really hurt my processor undervolting, right? I could do damage overvolting though. Thanks again for this badass kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ktoonsez:
No you cant, the only thing that could happen is data corruption on your SD card (slim chance). So no biggey at all :D :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JBakey:
That's fine, I don't have much on my SD card anyway. I'll bump it up 25mv from the lowest anyway just to be safe.

I had this problem flashing a ROM (not kernel) and it was the same fix, install a TW based ROM and run the activation via the dialer code... of course I freaked out for quite a while before figuring it out :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
I had same issues using everyone elses undervolt so what is working for me is 96mhz 850mv, 144mhz 860mv and 192mhz 875mv like Ktoonsez. Thats for my finicky phone... sounds like yours handles same. Set 96 max and min and slowly but carefull tool around even in browser on the undervolt if it gives probs up the volts. Better than the 925mv stock volts. Locking cpu speed on the frequency your testing i found is best way to be sure its stable. Ill post my whole volt table later.

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

I had same issues in past and it was fixed just like you guys. Its not kernel related but rom and kernel ie just in general flashing from ICS to JB is risky. Its only happened to me once and since ive used a newer recovery version i have no more issues like that. I think the older ones from a few month ago can cause wrong files to be messed with. Atleast its easy to fix once i realized i wasnt screwed. I flashed TW and entered key combo appeared to work so i flashed back JB and next day no radio signal. I had tried reflash modem but thats not the fix. Once in JB and with the prob i proceeded to make a call and it patched me through to sprint and it was activated in five minutes after providing account info. So key combo in touch wiz then you may still have to acvtivate over phone further more to complete it.
