What rom are you on?

My 2 testers running FreeGS 0.2.0 and they didn't have any problems flashing this kernel.

I posted it after 6-7 hours of testing.

Ones home I'll check the upload itself.

Any one else have tried it and has problems with booting?

File shows 20 downloads. Please let me know. There should be more info available by now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisfales:
0.2.0 is running perfectly for me. Using Freezas latest TW-free version of LI3. I loaded kernel with native settings. I don't use any sort of CPU tweak app or anything. Loving it so far. GPS locked on like a champ too. Hope you guys get it working. Thanks AGAT!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agat63:
My previous version of LI03 (had less governors) has been in test over 2 days.

Battery life looked very promissing. With WiFi and GPS on lost over night (more than 9 hrs) only 5% battery.

And it looks like phone is getting very good deep sleep. I really hope this version will increase the battery life by another 15-20%.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evolutioncsr:
I am using 0.2.0 downloaded from the OP and it's working great same great battery life as the test and with ktoonservative it is even better. I am using Clark44's FreeGS3 0.2.0 and GPS lock was instant for me. I use voltage control and every governor and scheduler selects and applies without problem.

Maybe anyone having problems can state their ROM and any apps they are using to edit CPU or governors so I can throw the same config on my test phone.

I'm on blazer 1.9 and I lost touch screen too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agat63:
I would like to extent my special thanks to you.

All the time you invest to test every single build is greatly appreciated and thanks to you I'm moving faster than I expected.

You are amazing with your respond times and iformation provided.

And all your support means a lot to me too.

Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evolutioncsr:
Couple of questions and suggestions. Did you wipe Cache>Dalvik Cache>Advanced>Fix Permissions prior to and after flashing the Kernel? This is not always posted but it is definitely recommended to avoid any issues. If not I would do it again and by following the steps above.

Since you are on Blazer 1.9 which is based on LG8 Modem/Firmware/Baseband in Settings>About Device what does it say under baseband version? This Kernel is based on the latest which is LI3 you are most likely on LG8 although I do not think you should be losing touchscreen anyways.

If you would like to stay on Blazer but update your Modem/Firmware/Baseband to LI3 please download the "Full Firmware All-In-One (Baseband/modem&tz,rpm,sbl2,sbl3,aboot): Flashable with any recovery.": http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1743923

Here is the direct link for the AIO update: http://goo.im/devs/freeza/Galaxy-S-fre3-LI3FirmwareModemAIO.zip just flash in any recovery.

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

Thank you I love to see continued development from people that enjoy doing it. :). If I had the time I would love to develop for my devices but until I get a few more employees my time is limited to being a flashaholic. Hopefully by years end I can take my 12 years of programming and development to get started with Android OS.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jtheis23:
Ok I'm on freegs3 1.1 with L13 baseband/modem/etc (used freeza AIO). Using setcpu, tried rom toolbox but immediately froze. Gonna retry flashing when i get a min, damn job gets in the way if everything...lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evolutioncsr:
Honestly I would just give Voltage Control a try after flashing properly :) the free version will work fine. I have had a little trouble with setcpu and rom toolbox pro myself and previous versions of this kernel. Realistically until agat is able to get his hand on this device we can't expect all the kinks to be worked out so let's try and use what works for now :good:

Just curious what is holding you back from upgrading to FreeGS3 0.2.0? I dirty flashed it on one of my GS3's over 0.1.1 without problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jtheis23:
Ok update i reflashed and yeah this is nice. This time i wiped caches, them flashed kernel, then wiped again. Did this three times in a row then rebooted and everything is smooth
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evolutioncsr:
Glad you got it working if you run into any problems be sure to Fix Permissions. Depending on what your reason for using a custom kernel is. If you are looking for battery life I would use the Ktoonservative governor, and noop, or sio scheduler to keep your performance on par.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jtheis23:
That's what I'm already set at...lol...thanx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Shoulon:
I'm using SetCPU just fine whats the problem...? I can change Gov's and Sceduler. Undervolt and overclock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evolutioncsr:
I would imagine some of the problems are related to not installing it correctly but as for "whats the problem...?" who knows every device is different and if you read through the thread there are several people report problems with setcpu with older versions of this kernel.

As I stated above the dev does not yet have the phone so investigating a problem with an app is not going to happen until he does.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Ok,

Second dl did me better... But can someone please help me... And yes. I have used the search function! :p

Can someone provide a breakdown on what adaptive cpu governor does compared to the others? Been through xda and even, gulp, androidforums. Why is it so elusive? Thanks to the OP, so far so good!

Using voltage control, noop and adaptive...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evolutioncsr:
Honestly I have never found a good explanation of it either, but I can see the second core going offline so it does have hotplug ability. I am not quite sure who developed it. Ktoonservative gives better battery life for me. You are right to choose noop for your scheduler but after my own testing and without any papers I can find to describe it I choose Ktoonservative. Maybe someone can shed some light on this mystery governor because google is not my friend with these terms lol.

It is conservative governor with hotplug ability. I would do your own testing to see but in my opinion adaptive is less stable in this kernel/device right now than ktoonservative. Maybe I will give it a go again on one of my S3's and compare both of their idles.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Thanks... Imma gonna try this mysterious Ktoonservative you speak of then... Appreciate the answer, glad to know that my search was like yours... :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alaman68:
man... i set the governor to Ktoonservative using system tuner and set it on boot. Rebooted and hurt bad. the over/underclocking values were immediately dropped to the min and the phone became unresponsive. Weird cause i always use that governor when on AOKP adn have great success, now on FreeGS3 0.2.0.

thinking maybe a bum download, because a lot of text was missing from random apps as well. I'll try again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramondel:
Naddict,

Here is what I found regarding the Adaptive Governor:

Hope this helps.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jtheis23:
Try using a different app to control cpu...voltage control or kernel tuner works pretty good
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] epic4GEE:
Fregs3 0.2.0 here and had no issues thus far, overall seems a bit smoother than 1.5, can't speak on battery life just yet need a day or more to really see
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rey823:
Ok I got it to work on freegs3 but one question how are you guys getting the frequencies to stick because whenever I reboot with setcpu the max frequency goes back to 1900
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] epic4GEE:
I have this same problem, I just reset them every reboot also my governor of choice sticks, but all it's setting revert back to the governors default settings only thing that sticks is my voltages.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evolutioncsr:
If you are referring to the clock speed as stated many many times in this thread use voltage control not setcpu. Also make sure you save as boot settongs .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] epic4GEE:
Now I have to go back to vc and see.....I swear something is missing from it that makes setcpu better....let me see

---------- Post added at 05:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 AM ----------

VC is missing the governor tweaks, does that mean your using both setcpu and vc together? Imo without governor tweaks it makes a custom kernel a lot less 'custom'
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agat63:
What you mean VC is missing governor tweaks?

Can you be more specific?

you kinda lost me there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] epic4GEE:
The settings for sampling rate, up threshold, down threshold, freq step and all that.....maybe cause I'm using the free app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jtheis23:
Think of have an idea of the problem on why we can only use certain apps to control cpu and why the phone freezes. Ok there is an app called kernel tuner and it will let you control each core independently(min& max and gov) now the first core the i change the min & max or gov to whatever with no problem but the 2nd core is set on performance and maxed out to 1917. As soon as i try to set it to match the 1st core the phone freezes. I have tried setting it different govs and mins & maxes with same result. So i think this why we keep seeing the max jump back up and having issues with some apps. The older apps are only to control one core newer apps control both which is why i think they are changing both cores and giving us problems. Anyone else have any insite on this this...thanks

Here is a link to the app if anyone wants try and see what i mean
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gosueric:
Ran great on fre3 1.9, though I had no data unless I set it to CDMA only (ie no LTE) and if I tried to overclock it would cause reboots.

Also the boot animation would flash white, which I thought was kind of weird.

Everything else worked though, and it booted, which is a first for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
All I can say is good stuff, second day and battery life is very promising!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] epic4GEE:
Only been through the work day, but I agree, seems good so far. Playing with the ktoonservative gov, pushed hotplug up threshold to 100.....I now have a single core sgs3, going to see how that works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ma67cpe:
I'm running it on anakonda rom and so far seems to be great. Haven't tried to adjust it so I'm going to leave it see what happens. Thanks for your work on this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agat63:
Little bit off topic here.

Did small changes to build.prop for one of my testers.

Added couple of lines to it for better sleep and it looks like it works.

His screen off time and phone deep sleep time almost identical.

He is running FreeGS0.2.0 and I made changes for that rom. I can't provide a build.prop for all of you since you running different roms but if you want you can try to add these lines to your build.prop and flash it along with kernel.

For those of you who would like to try here is how to:

1st method using adb:

Connect phone to PC. Make sure debugging is on

start CMD and type:

adb pull /system/build.prop

File will be pulled to your current directory where the CMD window was opened.

Open build.prop file with an editor like Notepad++. Please note that regular editor might now work.

Scroll down to the last line of system.prop for surf settings

add these lines:

# Powersave properties

#

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1

pm.sleep.mode=1

wifi.suplicant_scan_interval=180 (this line is to make wifi to scan for new networks every 180 seconds. Usually stock system settings are on 15sec).

And you can add an additional line for faster home screen responde:

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 (this line will force homescreen settings to memory)

Save build.prop file and close it.

Place modified build.prop file into kernel zip into /system folder.

Save zip and flash kernel in recovery. Your original build.prop will be replaced with this new, modified one.
​

Second method for those of you who doesn't have adb.

Use root explorer or similar app to copy your build.prop to root of your sd card.

Connect phone to PC and move build.prop to you pc.

Do all the edits as described above.

Place into kernel zip and flash in recovery.​

Hopefully you will see some deep sleep improvements and with that a little bit better battery life.

Before you add any of those lines to your build prop make sure those lines don't exist.

If lines are there with different values just change the values.

If you have any questions please ask. I'll gladly answer if I can.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisfales:
Might be a ridiculous question but... if these changes are found to be beneficial, can we expect a revised version? I'm not so good at these manual changes to build props and such. I get nervous. :) Loving the new update btw...GREAT JOB!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agat63:
Every rom dev introduces his/hers own tweaks/mods/edits to rom and build.prop.

I don't want to overwrite any existing tweaks since that might create a mess.

So I can't make it universal and the only way would be to make as many flashable zip files as many roms are out there.

Thus I don't think I can make that.

I might be able to add a script to run after boot to add those lines to build.prop.

But would need the phone to do some tests before I trow it out there for use.

I guess for now this is the only option.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rey823:
Well after I got this to work on blazer 1.9 (my favorite) I'm using ktoon with sio stock frequencies and UV by 100 seems great to me agat so far I have had it like this for a day
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tmcwilliam01:
I made the edits but removed the explanations in () 's. Would the ()' s commented out if we left them in?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agat63:
You did right.

all those comments were just to explain what are they for.

lines after "#" are commented out not in ().
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Agat,

I am doing great without these modifications, is the juice really worth the squeeze???...and if so, I vote for a flashable for the FreeGS3 rom, I think I have the edit done, but want to be sure before I thrash my very happy phone...thanks again! :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agat63:
You guys keep forgetting that I don't have phone yet and all my info is based on hear/say.

I have been using those settings for all my E4GT roms and I have a lot of positive feedback about them.

My roms weren't fastes, fanciest or the best out there but there were sable and were providing good battery life.

If there are some users from E4GT forum here they can confirm that.

I thought of implementing some of the tweaks for GSIII as well but can't do much without phone.

So I ask for build.prop current rom of my tester and just tried those few lines to see if same rules apply to GSIII as they were on GS2.

Feedback was positive so I thought I'll share the info and how to.

As for how much more juice you will get I can't say for sure. But I think any little bit helps especially when implementing is not too hard.

I'll upload a zip with modified build.prop for FreeGs0.2.0 tonight.

Any other rom should be done manually.

Roms are so large for this phone and I'll hate to download all of them just to add 3-4 lines to build.prop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pastert33:
Can you explain exactly where to put the added lines? Not seeing system prop for surf(assuming you mean web) Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] steve97ta:
AGAT does make great roms and kernels. Still running his kernel on my E4GT that I handed down to my mom. Stability and great battery :thumbup:

There's a lot of folks rocking the Freegs3 would be great to get that build prop. Thanks Agat for taking the plunge without a GS3!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agat63:
If you using a different rom It might be something else. It's not that important where you put it in build prop. It was more like example..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pastert33:
Ahh ok gotcha!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agat63:
Here is a zip file with modified build.prop for FreeGS0.2.0

AGAT_GS3_v0.2.0_build.zip

It is same zip in OP. Only build.prop is added to zip to be flashed with kernel.

Please do not use this zip with any other rom.

I don't know what effect it might have on your phones performance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jyarborough:
Just loaded freezas lih and this kernel. No problems so far. Will report back later:D

Thanks. Smooth running
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Thanks man, you really did great work..even without the phone, what an accomplishment! ;):cyclops::good::D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramondel:
jyarborough,

Are you referring to Freezas JB leak? That is the only LIH ROM that I have found unless you are talking about the LIH modem/firmware? I did not know that we could flash this kernel on JB?

Ramon :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
I think he meant the modem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramondel:
Thanks for the response, I always get confused with ASOP, AOKP and Sammy. By the way which ROM are you sporting these days, I'm test driving Freeza's LIH leak. No major issues for me at this time with the exception of not being able to modify the kernel.

Ramon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
FreeGS3 all the way, letting you crazy JB testers be the "canary in the coalmine" so to speak. To be honest, tried JB and it isn't much different end user wise (imho)... Got a couple "neat" things... But nothing to lose sleep over, at least, until OTA makes a prime time appearance ;)

Been on Agat for three days and I am a happy guy. Great battery with noop and Ktoonservative... No oc/uv... Very nice! :D:beer:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramondel:
I hear you, I will be back this weekend. I want to test out Josh's jellybean. I played around with Ktoonservative for a while and did some governor tweaks and it is a very good governor. Freecharlesmanson helped me with the tweaks. I read Clark's thread all day long to stay abreast of what is going on. I applied TOM tweak yesterday and I have not seen any adverse effects, but I will see tonight when I have the screen on for 2.5 hour on straight what my battery life is and if I get any stutter on my bluetooth and music ap.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jyarborough:
Sorry for not being clear. Modem only.. rocking freesg3. The only Rom worthy for my sg3 this far:D

---------- Post added at 02:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 AM ----------

Man. Lih blended with Agat kernel is a very nice blend.. awesome battery life on the first cycle. 14 hours with 30% battery life left. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coffeehandle:
I'm having freezes when I switch to ktkonservative. Anyone else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agat63:
Depends what app are you using to set knoonservative governor.

It has been reported that Voltage control and Tegrak are working fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] raiderep:
How about setcpu? I'm running this on freesgs3 and want to set sleep speed max.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agat63:
I don't know.

May be someone else can help you here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jyarborough:
Why not just use preset volts. And set cpu is not the best so to use
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] raiderep:
Guess I should have just tried before asking sorry guys. Setcpu froze me up. I am just going to let android control its sleep on its own. Voltage control is working fine. Thanks for the kernel, working fine now with ktoonservative and 1512 max.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] klarthur:
Seems more like a personal preference than anything. SetCPU has worked the best for me, and I have tried many many different cpu controllers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Boogeyman45:
I agree. I haven't had any problems. Although I haven't messed with the voltages yet.

Why does the free gs3 need a modified build prop? Sorry for the noob question

Sent from my SPH-L710...if some one helps you press the thanks button
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agat63:
I looked thru build.prop of FreeGS provided by one of the testers and I didn't see few lines that did some good on E4GT for powersave.

I don't know if GS3 needs those lines or may be it has bit of a different settings and can do well without them.

I added couple of lines to it and sent back to tester.

Feedback was positive and it looked like those lines made some improvements for deep sleep and battery life.

So I offered it to all.

I can't say for sure that it's really does something until I test it myself. For now I'm just channeling down what I get from my testers.

Hopefully in 10 days I will be able to do all my testing myself and than I'll be talking from my own experience.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfin79:
I'm running free gs3 2.0 LIH baseband with the universal kernel listed in the OP with Setcpu ktoon governor noop no oc\uv set at boot and then fixed permissions no issues no freezing I guess my question is to the people also running free gs3 2.0 that downloaded the kernel with build prop tweaks for free gs3 rom what is the difference you have noticed with the build prop tweaks implemented in that kernel

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

Off topic agat glad you are here some of the great devs from the epic touch 4g didn't come to the gs3 I remember you becoming a great kernel dev then a great rom dev and then your agat custom recovery you built with help from chris41g I'm just glad you started dev for the gs3 and can't wait for you to get the phone and unleash the rest of your skills on the gs3 us gs3 owners are in for a real treat

Made a modified post boot now i don't need to use an app at now this thing is finally running great...thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cerobles1:
Qhy can u include conservative? I feel I get better battery with it than running Koonservative
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agat63:
I thought conservative is in there.

If it's not I'll add it. No problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfin79:
So this is my battery life with agat 2.0 from the OP ktoon gov noop free gs3 rom and heavy use plus alot of baseband flashing today over 2 hours of screen time so I'm happy with this kernel agat delivers again lol

Edit: I'm sure I can not charge it tonight and easily of had 18+ hours
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] epic4GEE:
Hot plug is also missing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jyarborough:
imoe setcpu have interfered with some Rom built init.d scripts. The only cpu app that freezes and reboots my phone when oc or uv. I think it also interferes with BUSY box stericson blend. So i use voltage control or system tuner:D

Then how can you agree that setcpu is the app to use if you have not "messed with the villages yet?"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Boogeyman45:
I haven't had any problems is what I stated. It works for me without tweaking voltage settings. Never said it was the app to use.
