Hi.

I have a question...probably is a dumb question but i'm new to the Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 (i've bought mine last monday)

I've flashed this Rom on my phone

Will your kernel work with it?

Hope you can help me cause i'm new to this device.

Then if it works, i will contact you by Pm and ask you the permission to post it on my website, of course giving proper credits.

Thanks for the answers.

That's weird.. Is it normal that afther a few days the battery drain is more?

I flash back from 3.1 to 3.0 and its the same so maybe its the rom... =(

Or you suggest i go back to ELLA again with 3.1b?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LenAsh:
Find out what's causing the drain before you do anything. Use BBS, for instance.

Highly unlikely the kernel (whatever kernel) or modem has anything to do with it. One of the great misconceptions...

How can i flash the kernel?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] donteo:
Same here "sotmax" setting on sotmax v13 :\
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Nope, don't think that will make any difference. Do as you've been advise, use BetterBatteryStats to find the culprit of the drain.

That is very true !

Well I can't see what would have changed that would cause anything thelike, all that was changed is the linux version, and that is highly unlikely to cause these kind of changes ?!

I can't see any difference to be honest.

Using any custom recovery ;)

Just another question:

Which settings do you reccomend for your kernel?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Mostly small patches and fixes that are backported from newer versions (above 3.0.y), plus a lot of stuff that doesn't concern us at all like PC hardware support etc. and is not compiled in our kernel anyway.

Sometimes it's also just a fix that Samsung had fixed in their 3.0.31 already, just to give you an example, like this (change came in 3.0.59) :

fs/jbd2/transaction.c

...	...

@@ -178,16 +178,8 @@ static int start_this_handle(journal_t *journal, handle_t *handle,

if (!new_transaction)

goto alloc_transaction;

write_lock(&journal->j_state_lock);

[COLOR="Red"]- /* add to bug fix code, j.gap.lee@samsung.com, 2012.04.23 */
- /* barrier check */
- if (journal->j_barrier_count) {
- write_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock);
- goto repeat;
- }
- /* end */
-
- if (!journal->j_running_transaction) {[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Blue"]+ if (!journal->j_running_transaction &&
+ !journal->j_barrier_count) {[/COLOR]
jbd2_get_transaction(journal, new_transaction);
new_transaction = NULL;
}
write_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock);
goto repeat;

In red the Samsung added code that is now removed, in blue the added kernel.org code that replaces this.

Both do the same, but Samsung noticed the issue, fixed it (without letting kernel.org know of it obviously), and now kernel.org fixed it themselves (and it's cleaner like that imho).

Such things can be fixed that Samsung didn't find, that's the small benefit of updating to kernel.org Linux.

There is no "magic" setting, you have to try out yourself. Start using "Power" and go from there...

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] noobandroid:
I'm not a linux guy so i dont understand at all, but nevermind that, if not a big impact change, I'll wait for "the next big thing"
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Let me put it this way (this above was just a example), every version change contains fixes, some matter for our device, some don't. I keep it updated anyway.

You won't detect any revolution in such a version, but any fix, even the smallest isn't bad to have.

BTW, fading LED notification wasn't a big thing either :D

The real only big impact thing is a new source drop when new ROMs aren't compatible with older kernels anymore ;)

JP.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Willy89:
Thanks. You are VERY kind.

Just last question:

if i'm not satisfied with my settings, could i change it?

And if i have some problems whit this kernel, could i revert to original kernel?

Thank you and sorry for my noob questions...i'm new to the sgs3
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Yes, you can reflash the ZIP, change the settings and choose "Config only" in the last screen, so only config is updated.

You can revert to any other kernel anytime, just flash my cleaner (see OP), that will remove any files I added, so you can go about flashing any other kernel as if mine never had been there.

JP.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Ok, that is good news.

Next we need to make sure about init.d support.

Can you post the result of these commands :

su

ls -l /system/etc

ls -l /system/etc/init.d

df -h

mount

So I can see what you have in those folders, and what is mounted where.

Btw, just noticed Omega actually runs init.d scripts as well as ARHD, no idea about Wanam... Maybe a good idea adding it to OP Yank? Kinda like "no need to flash init.d on this this and this" at least to save some spare questions... what u think?

init.d support without the need of a kernel that supports init.d<--- Omega 31 changelog

EDIT: correcting myself: Wanam: Rooted+ insecure Tweaked Stock kernel with init.d support

So most popular ROM's already include init.d support :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] eric-filth:
Yank your kernel is very smooth, you did very good work. Customization install with Aroma was good idea.

Before Yank answers the technical part, let me suggest you use omega without supercharger, if you are using a tweaked kernel it won't help, even harm!

You can search at Perseus thread for some technical explanation from Andrei talking about this things :)

Supercharger removed
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MuertoKo:
It was just a suggestion though, but imho works null, you can try with and without ofc!

Let's see... you are using Omega 31? COuldn't find that info in your last posts sorry for that.

If so, you should need no init.d support in kernel as on changelog states you don't need it actually... In that case, it might be another thing right now!

When you flash this kernel you lose your ext2int tweak but the rest works nice, right? How is your external SD card formated?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
That's a good idea, will add it in the ROM compatibility list.

JP.

EDIT : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm having second thoughts on this ... let me explain :

On ARHD, init.d support is done by the ROM, yes, but on behalf of the ramdisk (mike adds an entry to init.rc). This entry will run the following script (/system/etc/init.post_boot.sh). Now since I use mike's ramdisk, this continues to work just fine on ARHD.

But ...

If I would use a stock ramdisk, that init.d support would be brocken :( So you'd need to use init.d support from my kernel as well. That is part of what mike means when he says "if you flash a custom kernel, you'll loose some of my tweaks", you will at least loose the execution of init.post_boot.sh, and thus also init.d support.

So we would actually need to have feedback as to "where" the init.d support is implemented on each ROM :rolleyes:

I think for now I'll better remove this information in the ROM list, might be more confusing than helping at this stage...

JP.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MuertoKo:
If that's the case you are completly right, maybe just ppl could test it easily the way you shared here, creating an init.d script that generates a .txt file after installing Yank's kernel without init.d. If it's there, all right, if not, reflash with init.d support... Guess that can't be checked and done during installation so not bad leaving this to experimented users right?

I just got fed on custom's lol had many issues when switching between kernels because of all those tweaks that most of them, have no proved impact on behaviour...

So better flash stock and let the business to kernel dev's :D Saved me a bunch of problems, and then kernel devs like u can just add the ramdisk and "tweaks" they like to work properly!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
I suppose this is the only proper way to go about this.

Start by saying "no" in Aroma and validate (by what means ever, be it a tweak you can check if it's still active or the little script I provided...) if init.d is still working.

If it's not working, reflash and say "yes" in Aroma (and reflash only the config, that will be enough), and init.d should be working fine again.

JP.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MuertoKo:
Makes sense this way right? Easier and safer!

How u doing with those issues on merging kernel.org? Knowing the how but missing the time? :) Hope so! :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Yep ;)

Missing the time, yes, as to knowing the how, well I hope so, but we'll see when I get to it :D Maybe tomorrow afternoon if nothing comes up...

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] shtipu1111:
I flashed this kernel & the only problem was I lost the ext2int tweak..my sd is fat32 formatted & yes I am on 0mega 31
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Ok, first things I see here :

There's no init.post_boot.sh, so no init.d support to be expected there. Either it is done fully in the ramdisk, or by some other means, but I am inclined to think you need to activate init.d support when flashing the kernel.

The int2ext script seems to be working, since I can see the internal sdcard (mmcblk0p12) to be mounted on /storage/extSdCard.

And external sd (vold/179:49) looks to be mounted to /storage/sdcard0 as well ...

Look fine to me... !?

On a sidenote, not linked to init.d, you might consider updating busybox (install busybox app by Stericson from Playstore and let it update busybox for you).

Can you try posting the same thing you posted before but when using a kernel where you have ext2int working? Just to check if there any differences as I've never used ext2int tweak, so no idea how it should look (ok, logic helps there, but just to make sure...).

It's just... it should work, and it looks like it's working :S So weird it doesn't imho
