This should really be taken to the TA thread but just to add a little (when TA does work)

If you have a STOCK KERNAL then you just run TA once and it clears the counter until you flash something non stock again. You do not have the option of "Clear counter at boot" available in TA with stock kernals.

If you have a CUSTOM KERNAL then because of measures Samsung implemented your counter will reset to "1" EVERYTIME you boot so in this instance, providing the Kernal is supported you set the option within TA to "Reset the counter at boot"

Something to be aware of;

Having your counter NOT at zero has other effects, mainly it prevents you from running things like Allshare Case and Multiview on the phone (well they run but drop out after a few seconds). It may also cause issues with other Samsung functionality that I am not aware of.

EDIT: one other thing, Due to the way TA works, if you use it to check your counter, ie. reboot from within the app itself it will also set your counter to 1. So the best way to check your counter is to use the buttons to go in to Download mode and not the app itself.

Im dont have much experience in using different kernels, and i was wondering what would give me the most battery life, this one or stock kernel? Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Mikehboi:
Don't know if anyone else has experienced this issue, but since updating from 25.1 to 26.1 the battery life took a major dip. On the older one I'd get home from work with 79-80% battery today after upgrading I get 61 %. Looking at the battery under settings it says the phone has been awake all day. Since reflashing to the old version it's back to normal and battery is not showing as awake when I'm not using it.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] omniwolf:
try the stock kernel for a few days, take notes. try this kernel for a few days, take notes. compare your notes. battery life will be different for different people. i would generaly say Perseus will give you better battery life.

please get BetterBatteryStats and find out what the wakelock is that's keeping your phone awake. also if you only tested the battery for one day with 26.. well that's a pretty crappy test. try it for a few days and see how you go.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Mikehboi:
[

Thanks. I'll get that app and flash the updated version to see what's doing it and post my results. Who knows may be something else ive got on here not liking the kernel. But to be fair, a 1 day test with only this new kernel being the change should be enough to make to make me want to reflash the old one upon the effect its had. If it's awake all day leaving it 3 days would just leave it awake longer? Sorry if that sounds noobish

Stock Kernal with Force Gpu gets a constant 60fps / Quadrant Pro

This Kernal however will get upto 70fps but will also go as low as 20fps

Am glad to se we have at least one custom kernel here. My i9305 should come by the end of the week and then I'm selling the i9300.

Hope I won't regret it, I don't need a ton of mods for my phone but do like some features custom kernels give us (like 900ma USB charging). Am glad to have found them here :):good:

This intrigues me too, if the kernel is slower or less effective than the stock kernel why are people using it? (unless I'm missing something)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] oswade:
Im guessing its because gpu scaling has been revamped. Stock probably sticks to max frequency constantly in the benchmark and hence produces a higher score, but may be less efficient in real circumstances.

Hey Andrei.. The audio presets don't work when I apply them. LK5 here
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] _ray_:
same problem here, using 4.1.2 LK4. But apart from that everything else works fine specially the stereo widening which has made a lot of difference in audio quality. I am sure the presets will be fixed soon but until then i will enjoy the renewed listening experience all thx to the OP and his hard work. Cheers m8

AWESOME Just one tiny thing missing, Yes those preset things and USB CHARGE

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

also a weird thing, when you open stweaks it says it loading, and because i have transparent theme i can actually see a box behind that saying unexpected error but none the less stweaks still opens normally so dont know if that even matters
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] apvinod2003:
Since some kind of interest is generated in audio over the few days, I'd like to post my observations here:

From Stock Kernel to Perseus -> There is definite improvement in audio. Stock sounds more of a cheap player. Flashing Perseus makes a ton of difference. I've noticed this in 25 and 26 as well. But init.d scripts does not work. I have not tried stereo widening yet, but headphone EQ does not work for sure. And I've tried DAC direct setting and that does not seem to make any difference either.

For now I use Perseus + Megabassbeats (MBB mod) + PowerAmp (with DVC disabled) + Klipsch s4i. And kind of achieved the effect I needed.

Thanks.

Hi Andrei, The audio tweaks works in 27.2. Lots of improvement over stock sound. Thanks a ton :)

Probably you're aware of this already, but I noticed that the CPU/GPU min, max frequencies and volt tables in STweaks are not reflecting actual values. I had undervolted both CPU and GPU with init.d scripts and could see those values actually applied when I manually navigate to those folders. But STweaks displays only default values.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] AndreiLux:
STweaks doesn't display live values but the values it has saved in profiles. I can't do anything about that. STweaks settings also get applied before init.d scripts so if you have any settings, those will override the profile settings.

Impressive Battery Life

My battery life has almost doubled since flashing Perseus a27.2 :D My battery drain was around 12% per hour for standard type use (mainly calls, emails, messaging, browsing, Play Store).. after a27.2 it's dropped to 5% per hour and on stand-by 2%. Very impressive performance - thank you!

Has anyone been able to figure out why the Crt Off randomly doesnt work anymore? The Mod is physically set on the phone so i dont know why after flashing the kernel it effects it somehow, me and 2 other users have noticed this. Bound to me more
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] btemtd:
i asked this ^^^^ question in the I9300 site and i got this reply why would someone say that in another kernels thread

Try the latest Siyah 1.8.3 kernel. It has a setting for that.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Obagleyfreer:
For some weird reason CRT off effect does this.

The first couple of weeks it works every time you press power button, then I notice as the weeks go by the CRT off effect seems to get less and less. It's really weird.

I first noticed it on my S2 and just figured it was something I'd installed that was clashing with it.

But I only installed this one mod on my S3 when I first bought and slowly the same thing happened. It worked fine at first.

Sorry I can't give an explanation but it isn't just the s3 or the LTE it is also the S2 and I tried 2 different methods, a flashable zip to get the effect and Jkay framework, they both did the same thing.

I don't think kernel has anything to do with it, for some reason this mod just doesn't "stick"

Just rooted my new i9305 and flashed perseus. This thing flies :victory:

I cannot find the "screen" settings in the tweaks app. I am looking for the mDNIe setting but it's lacking. According to perseus thread this tweak is supported, so what am I missing here?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] lpy:
Some sort of minor bug: setting the CPU Down Rate from 30 (Perseus default) to 20 (stock kernel default) causes boot loops, but eventually boots.

I believe that's what I've narrowed it down to anyway.

Apart from that I like the other STweaks features.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] AndreiLux:
Down rate of 30 is the stock value. The rate is dependant on the sampling rate which is accelerated.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] btemtd:
Strange that you say this, I was aswell shocked when i heard this from somone and since i last looked yesterday I have seen 5 people in the 2 kernel threads i9300/i9305 saying the same thing maybe more ppl now as i havent looked since yesterday, and maybe a whole load of ppl dont use the CRT effect or dont care but yeh, I am thinking how can a kernel affect this little mod. So i wanted to really make sure it is this kernel And done a mini test

Perseus Kernel 27.2

so I pressed the power off to lock the screen 10 times and Out of the 10 , 2/10 went off without the Crt off effect, I then did it twenty times and then it happened 5/20 the funny thing is the 5 happened one after the other. So I did it a Third time out of 10. And it happened 1/10 .

Stock Kernel

To make sure I wanted to do more then the custom kernel incase the offchance it doesnt happen out of the mini test So I pressed the Screen off button 50 Times Out of the 50 times. 50/50 Had the Crt effect.

This mini test ^^ and the fact that i have never heard of a problem like this and all of a sudden i am seeing posts only in the 2 perseus threads I9305 & I9300 in very close proximaty to each other after 27.2 was released stating the same thing That I am saying makes me think 98% that it must be something in the kernel conflicting. As I have never in the history of my I9300 and I9305 noticed this strange problem.

But yeh its Not a MASSIVE problem I will still use the kernel as the Pro definatley outweigh it. And I can see if it it is the actual kernel it will be a major ***** to figure out as it only happens at random. But yeh Great job on the kernel otherwise :good::D

Edit: I just want to change my percentage figure to 99.9% as I have still got the stock kernel installed and every now and then I press the power button another ten times. And still not once the crt effect failed. Honestly it cannot be a coinsedence not with the amount of times i did each. 30 times in total with the Perseus and 8/30 crt effect failed.. And I swear i lost count with the stock one now but it will be close to 100 times. and not once has it failed.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Obagleyfreer:
Andrei,

Thanks for the Kernel update :)

I've found a little bug.... When you set the i/o scheduler after a reboot it always goes to deadline.

I've set it to cfq in Stweaks but it just doesn't stick, after reboot the scheduler is always set to deadline.

Also I think there is a typo in the description "the scheduler decides how to handle in out requests and how to handle them".

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, I love your kernel. Just pointing out what I found :)

Thanks for all your hard work and for an awesome kernel!
[Asus Transformer TF700] zibbr:
Hello!

I bought a Transformer Tf700 the other day and stupid as I was ( It seems ) updated it to JB before unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device.

So I have been searching around the forums, but it seems that there is no way to actually Root a JB device that did not unlock the bootloader in beforehand.

So my question is can I root&unlock the device?

The guides I have read only tells me that I can only root & unlock from ICS and to Downgrade to ICS ( from my understanding ) I need to have the bootloader unlocked... Witch makes this a vicious circle, so from what I have read its not possible to downgrade to ICS with out unlocking bootloader. And I can only unlock the bootloader on ICS.

So does anyone know away that I have missed? Or is it just happy waiting time for me :)?

Best regards

Zibbr.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
You still have to downgrade, but you don't need to be unlocked. Just download the .30 firmware, pop it on an SD and it will notify you to downgrade. Also, the unlock tool still works on JB if you still wish to unlock.

I recently bricked my device and had to do this, so it's certainly possible. I'm not unlocked just yet, but people say the unlock tool does work.

EDIT: I just used the Unlock Tool and can confirm that it works with Jelly Bean just fine...now to hope I don't regret unlocking!

I am about to flash my 1st ROM on my S3 and I had made a nandroid of my phone a cpl months ago when it was running great, I was copying that nandroid to my PC prior to flashing the new ROM and notice it is quite small, about 21MB. Is that the complete nandroid or is it in the "blobs"? I have 3300 folders in my blobs directory consisting of 7000 files and it is 3.27GB.

Do I need to backup that blobs folder and carry it everywhere the "nandroid" backup goes?

Lastly, if I flash TWRP will it overwrite CWM and does TWRP make reliable nandroids?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
the blobs folder is indeed specific to the nandroid backup you created...if you try to restore your backup with a different blobs folder, you will be greeted with a system error. i prefer cwm 6.0.1, it works with everything for this device. oh and yea you can flash back and fourth between recoveries, one just overwrites the other.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] junksecret:
Thanks, I have 6.0.1.2, does the 6.0.1 you reference NOT have blobs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apacseven:
TWRP makes perfectly fine nandroids. The blobs crap is what prevents you from moving/deleting individual nandroid backups. This is the reason I ditched CWM and only use TWRP now. When you frequently make backups, you need the ability to delete individual ones. What I did was load my stock nandroid that I wanted to keep, then flashed TWRP and made a new nandroid in that, and then flashed CWM again so i could go back to my current rom. Flashed TWRP once more and made another nandroid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] junksecret:
Sounds like a perfect plan, I'll give it a go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Legato Bluesummers:
You guys realize you can stop making blob backups and go back to normal tar right? Under back up go to advanced settings or whatever its called and choose the other option. Now you won't make back ups in blobs,but now you do them the old way. One folder for the whole back up, about 1-2 GB in size. Blobs are just nice as the backup takes under 5 min. Doing it the old way takes a bit longer.

Sent from a GlaDos Baked Potato
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apacseven:
No I did not realize that. When I was frustrated with CWM and was looking for a way to get rid of blobs, I couldnt find any info about this. Too late I'm afraid, no turning back from TWRP for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
yes i know, but i like the blobs folder because backing up/ restoring is so much faster...its nice for bouncing back and forth between roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
What the Blob files do is they keep copies individually of everything the nandroid backs up.... and when you go to do another backup it will read both blobs and current setup to see what, if anything is the same. Then it will only back up the differences and make reference to all the data that is the same.

And I dunno yet if I like the blob system better than the old way or not yet. Usually I only keep nandroids of the latest version of different ROMs.

Which is best for Samsung Galaxy Nexus (toro)

Use Safestrap on Droid Razr for 2+ years ,and loved it! the ability to immediately revert to Stock saved me many times while learning the ropes about roms, rooting, and flashing. I just got my hands on an old but new Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Toro). Owner installed KitKat Shiny Rom for GNex, via CWM Touch, but is now redeployed and difficult to reach UGH! So I have no way of knowing "what's next?" Rom works well, but I must say that Cm10.2 and CM10.3 were more inclusive than this AOSP version of pure Kitkat. But, is slim and sleek, and I want to get used to it, but I want to blow it up forst and start from scratch.

With my Raxr, I performed every step so I am familiar with installing TWRP and Safestrap for Razr, but have not tried it on a GNex? Can u advise if u have? Should I go from newest CMW to TWEP. The main reason I like TWRp is the ability too boot to stock if issues with Rom appear, ability to create "nandroid" backup, the ability to install several Roms on one system.

So, do ya think it's safe? Worthwhile? Thanks!
