this evening you will post a new version?? in your opinion will be the best version in this moment?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ginzo:
as suggested from you in another forum, I will test it, expecially for the battery drain during the night, as with other kernels I have recently seen an unusual drain :eek:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
No no, no new version tonight, well I don't think so at least ;)

I just want to check if and why the CPU clock might go above whatever is set as maximum in the governor settings, that's all.

I'll set mine to 1.4GHz and do some tests to confirm 1.5 and 1.6 get used when they should not with such a setting. If I can reproduce, I'll just try to hunt down as to why this happens. If I can manage to find that spot, well then I might correct it and recompile, but only in that case.

Anyway, evolution between v1.5 and v1.6 is really almost nothing technically, so I don't expect any impact on speed, stability or battery life as such.

Don't ge me wrong, the new mdnie settings by AndreiLux make a big difference in user experience by having more black shades, in terms of code, it's merely changing a set of values (here's the commit if you want to check). But it's a savant change well worth having ;)

Performance and fluidity is very nice, runs very cool and stable, I really like the customization options that come with the Aroma installer! Great job, man!

EDIT:

I normally don't do Quadrant score comparisons, but this one is very impressive! I didn't touch the clocks, so this is at 1.4 GHz max.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MuertoKo:
Got same score here LOL I know, useless but hey, we like numbers right?

Anyway, looks like all is working well for everybody now big gratz for that Yank :)

Hope you keep testing stuff and improving it day by day :) and good luck on those kernel.org commits :D

@yank..i reported this issue to u back when u released 1.3..i use the app voltage control to clockdown my cpu freq to 1.2ghz..i even infact in aroma used 1.4 as max..but despite these two my cpu still ocassionally goes upto 1.6..ive flashed the kernel over and over..removed anyother cpu throtelling app..but the issue remains..it will not occur suddenly but during a use of 5 mins itll have a second or two of 1.6..this is the only thing that bugs me!

No need for improving kernel my friend.

Try remove hardswap and/or remove partitions from sd card(backup first), format and repartition and try again.

Kernel really rocks...

Just wipe dalvik n cache and install and aroma installer will take place ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] deifel:
Thank you for your answers.

I'm going to format the SD card once and delete hardswap eg. ..

Does it make sense kernel, to format the card with an ext4 partition or brings nothing in 4.1.2 and yank kernel?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sotmax:
Need linux swap my friend not ext4 otherwise it will not work.

This is memory swap partition ;)

If you do it right you will notice a big difference in device s memory (ram side) as the inactive background apps will keeped there and not to actual ram so it will leave more free ram for multitasking.

NOTICE that you cannot eject sd card from phone even if you unmount it otherwise you ll end up in error.

Always remove your card with device powered off ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] deifel:
Yes I know:) I mean is it good to have the card formated like this:

32gb card:

2Gb as ext4

512MB as linux swap

Rest as fat32

Or do i not need a ext4?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sotmax:
no need of ext4 IMO my friend.

Also 2g is too much as you have already 1g inside device(extends the memory not replace).

So better to do it like this

-1024 linux swap

-rest fat 32

;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] deifel:
Unfortunately, I have to present huge problems with the kernel and the new 4.1.2

Can someone tell me but how can I set the hardswap manuel larger than 100 MB?

Does that make any sense?

The aroma installer unfortunately I can only set up to 100MB.

My linux partition is 1GB in size.

Thank you very much
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chris_84:
Kernel working great but it's not full compatible yet cause Samsung/Google don't release the source for now. Correct me anybody if I talk bullsh... right now.

Edit: For hardswap read the op carefully! There's a great guide!

Dont missunderstood swapiness from swap partition my friend ;)

Just choose 100 as swapiness with your 1g partition and you re fine to go ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] deifel:
Thanks for your help!

I know the difference between the swap partition and the swap itself - but I dont understand what brings me a 1GB partition for Linux hardswap if I only 100MB "swapped"?

I also read the instructions for the hardswap in the op and the other thread from yank. However, I still do not know how I can increase the size of the swaps and whether there is any sense at all?

Many thanks for your help :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Chris_84:
You don't need such a big swap partition. Who tell you that you need one gigabyte? 512MB are more than enough.

You can change the settings in aroma and tick the box for configuration only at the end of the process.

The problem with original chargers is that the produced current is at the limit of charging thats why it is so hot after that.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] corrsea:
Yes I can confirm its USB

Just a word of caution when setting USB to fast charge. If you are then using the phone as a GPS and are on a car charger you will get very high battery temperatures, especially in hot weather.

I learnt that one by experience.

Now if I know that I will be using the GPS on a long journey I reset the USB charge rate to the minimum and under clock down to 1000mhz.

Hey JP...

I started using zRam for testing and it works wonders for me! :D

I have set 200mb in aroma,it seems to be working fine but i have a question.

The swapiness parameter applies only on swap or also on zRam?

I mean if i set swapiness to 0 for example will it affect zRam from being used or not? :)

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Well,no matter what the value of swappiness is(checked with system tuner it was correct),zRam is not working so in my previous post i was a bit of a foll because i was in a placebo effect...:/ (checked with free commamnd in terminal,swap showed 0 value)

Anyway,i took a look at the zRam enable script when i extracted the cwm install files of your kernel and i saw there's no swapon dev/block/zram0 command in there...so is this the reason of zram not being effective?

EDIT:I don't know if what i did was good or not,if it's wrong forgive me. :$

Anyway,i used the 2.4 script inside the cwm install zip,i pasted the swapon dev/block/zram0 command before the fi command,i rebooted and now when i type free in terminal i can see

swap: 204796 127572 77224

instead of zero! :)

So that means zRam is now working? :) (swappiness set to 100)

I dont think n8010(galaxy note 10.1) sources will help or give any big difference. It is very good as an idea but needs a lot of testing and beta releases as much as i can think of.Plus i ve already search 10.1 files detailed and made somme tests with libs.

Upgrade is not far away.

Samsung is ready for official rolling of 4.1.2 and/or sources for the kernel development.

I think we need a little bit of patience here to receive a good end build.

For me kernel as it is is perfect and when something new is going to happened both kernel n rom devs will release new updates ;)

I've no GPS issues at all (tested for ~200 km so far).

GPS works with unmodified kernel too.

But I've boot loop in case of warm restart or system crash without kernel panic.

Now it seems to be fixed.

Modified:

init, adbd, cbd - from stock.

Minor changes in init.rc
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
I don't mean to offend you or anything but i don't think you should release modified version(s) of this kernel without the op's permission.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Swappiness works on all swap, be it zram or hardswap.

Swappiness is a parameter that says how to use swap, not how big it is,

0 means avoid using swap unless necessary, 100 use as much as possible.

I need to check if there's no mistake in the script generator. I'll be back home tomorrow, will check,

May I know what you changed ?

I'd rather being told what to change than have unofficial versions floating around, indeed ;)

You can leave it, but maybe call it something else plus 'based on Yank555.lu v2.5', to avoid any misunderstandings ;)

I'll be waiting for proper sources before 'supporting' 4.1.2, so until then, if the 'old' one doesn't work, well it doesn't, I can live with that :)

But by no means would I stop someone from helping out for those who want 4.1.2 with this kernel right now.

Hi JP

I can confirm that hot reboot is not working. Hangs on the Samsung logo.

The issue is also present on the stock kernel.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Ah, ok, never use hotreboot personnally, always full reboot (maybe a kernel thingy, when I reboot, I'd like the kernel to reboot as well :laugh:). Plus I haven't tested 4.1.2 at all yet, I love this PA just too much :D

If it's the same on the stock kernel, well, then I think it's well worth waiting for a new leak for a proper ramdisk, and the sources for a proper kernel :fingers-crossed:

By the way, since I'm rather digging into CM10 and ParanoidAndroid more precisely, I found battery life to be quite better on PA (with 100% the same apps restored with TB, and that are quite a bunch 104+ apps or so !!). Yesterday I was at a concert, and visiting a new town, so I did quite a few panorama pics with ProCapture (uses quite some CPU to do so), plus recoreded around 6-7Gb worth of 720p video, had the phone in my pocket for about a little over 18h, around 3h screen on (as decribed) and got back to my hotelroom with just under 20% left (17 or 18% I believe). I was quite impressed and it felt like more than on a Sammy ROM, but I may be under the influence of new love syndrome :o

Hot boot works with stock LK4 kernel and works with tis mod of Yank555 kernel.

Hot reboot is not a problem, but system will newer restart in case of crash (in android, but without kernel panic).

Today I encountered some Bluetooth problems and I dont know if they come from the kernel or not. I transfered 2 files to another SGS3 and the 3th one didn't want to go. I tried 4-5 times but without success. I had to reboot and after that the transfer was ok. Did anyone had same problems with bluetooth? I'm on FoxHound v1.5 (Sammy GB 4.1.2) and Yank555 v2.5..

Best regards.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
I've just given a look on the diff between the init.rc of my kernel, and the one in your file. I've not spent analysing all in detail, but some things make little sense (like inserting exFAT module, there's none, and even if, it wouldn't load as the kernel wouldn't allow it because of wrong signatures in the module).

Where did you get the init.rc from, original ramdisk, or ARHD 16 ramdisk ?

Would have been ideal to add one thing at a time to find out what exactly causes the hotreboot issue...

If you're willing to, you could give that a shot, and I'd gladly include that one little difference after testing it if it doesn't bring any other inconvenience, I won't have the time to do it myself unfortunately, and I'll stick to my conservative appraoch as stated in the OP, it has to just work, aka. rule #1 :D

Plus I can't add anything that would endanger compatibility to 4.1.1 ROMs, which this kernel actually is intended for ;)

JP.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
I'm afraid, anything realted to 4.1.2 leak will prove vicious to investigate, we neither have sources, nor know what exactly may have changed

Here's a screenshot of what you asked me.

Also i've attached the file here.

(i took a look inside the init.kernel.sh and saw that there's no swapon command there.could this be the cause that zRam is not working?)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Also copy-pasted your script and added the "swapon /dev/block/zram0" line,put it in /etc/init.d directory,set permissions and also made it run on boot with script manager(to be sure it'll run) and in the screenshot below it seems to be working i think...:)

(also i don't think it's necessary because it's the same script but i attached it if you need it. :) )
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] d8389:
I've not inserted exFAT. I know, that it does not work with your zImage.

Just have compared your initrd with one from stock 4.1.2 kernel and merged differences, excluding exFAT modules.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Well, I just redownloaded your file, unpacked the boot image, and this is what I found in init.rc :

Full file is attached. And there is no such thing in my init.rc (that comes from PA and as such from CM10 which won't have exFAT support as it's build from source).

That is what I meant, I'd rather just merge the one thing that fixes hotreboot, than a bit of everything that's different, without really knowing what all of that is :(

That is the best way to inconsistent behavior, or call it a potential time bomb :(

Would go against my rule #1 in OP :D

JP.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Wow ?!

In that generated script (first of your two posts), there is a swapon command missing, which is in fact fine, as setting "echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/initstate" should activate zram on Android optimized zram, which I set in the kernel config... (rechecked and it's really set)

Funny, it's working on my CM10 kernel...

Went fetch my ARHD S3, and tested, and it's working on mine ?!
