Hi Andi

I installed new kernel beta v5.2beta3 and no problem. Great Work:laugh:

Only one question : If i use Zram and Swapp , Apps run in Zram , just Zram use 2cores or 4cores ??

Zephyr NA7 240dpi, with Boeffla™ Kernel - Galaxy Redefined!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
This is for the Nexus device, completely different charging logic and chips.

I looked into that already half a year ago and came to the conclusion it would not help and not be possible with the S3.

zRam is nothing else than compressed area in ram. To compress and decompress, all possible power will be used. So depending on your settings and usage, all 4. Especially when you use 4 zRam devices, this highers the chances in theory.

Andi, you're making me sick!

Hi Andi,

you moved to XXUGNA7. Is there a significant difference to NA5? Is it worth moving? Or just scientific interest? :)

Cheers

Clark
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Purely academic, honestly. I feel no difference between na5 and na7 at all...

Hi mate, Thanks for sharing.

if you wondered what's the battery usage on deep sleep so..

Archidroid 1.7.9 and beta 2. WiFi&data off

I took this test about 1 hour after flashing

Awesome battery life Thanks to Andi and Archi

Why do I have to check the code?

For the first thing, will beta 3 be good even for those not having UGNA7 roms??

For second thing, I have the BusyBox app, so how must I proceed to start using yours? Should I open the BusyBox app and hit "uninstall", then remove the app and after this go and tick the box in the Boeffla config app? Or should I just remove the BusyBox app and tick the box in Boeffla config?

Thank you.

Mark bussybox in full boeffla config

bussybox and uninstall third party / application /.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mrbojangle69:
Reading the 5.2 beta3 changelog, I can see that you have included initramfs from GNA7 base, does it mean that if I use your kernel during the process of building a rom with dsixda's kitchen I won't have issues after flashing the rom? or apart from that do I have to use stock kernel during kitchen's building?

Installed B3 (I was on Beta 2 before) on AD 1.7.9 and SU was broken. Resolved this by using option Re-root System in Philz Settings of Philz recovery. Then re-installed SU app from playstore. Writing this here, so that if any one else faces this issue, he knows how to fix it.

I find B3 much smoother than B2. Excellent work Andi

I was running B2 with Neatrom V6.5 for 3 days and experienced multiple freeze situation where the screen didn't wake up at all and I had to force

a reboot. Only change from default settings was increasing max cpu to 1.6.

Has anyone run into similar issue ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] schetz:
I had no such problems with same setup, no overclocking..

But you should probably try b3 and also as someone already advised, run rom with default kernel for at least a day so you can pinpoint the issue.. :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] you_man:
Hi Andy. I use PegasusQPlus - battery.

What to include in CPU idle mode? and CPU multicore power saving?

Thank.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] raheelanjum:
I am also facing the same issue. But I don't think it is Kernel related. May be this is due to corrupt Windows drivers. I googled it and found may people with this problem. Re-installing the Windows drivers some times fixes the issue but some times it fails. In my case also it has failed. Un-fortunaltely the only other option left is to re-install windows after format which is not easy at least for me..:(:mad:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] boyheadkick:
I had this too when i first flashed ArchiDroid 1.7.9 with beta2 a couple of days back..before that i was running stock NA5 with beta 2 and i didnt have MTP problems..i tried everything i possibly could, reinstall drivers, remove battery amd everything...took me at least 2 hours to look for a fix on the web but nothing was helping...i dont know what caused the problem, maybe something went wrong with the mods and tweaks i did or maybe i must have frozen a system app or process, im still not sure what happened...so i finally went back to my nandroid backup NA5 with beta2 and found out that MTP problem wasnt there with it

what i did was reflash the rom and flashed beta2 and voila it was fixed...i made sure that my phone was detected by PC while still on beta2 to eliminate kernel fault..after that i flashed beta3 and tried again, phone got detected, no MTP problems anymore :D

Flashing a rom on a phone is way faster done than formatting a PC haha :P

To safe further, AFTR+LPA and Aggressive:good:..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Not knowing dsixda kitchen, I do not know. But you can bundle the kernel itself with any initramfs you want, from MK6 up to NA7. There are only minor differences as we know.

Yes, but this is a side effect on some roms. I am on 100% Samsung stock debloatet, I NEVER had this issue once. And believe me, I flash many times a day a new kernel :)

But as there is an easy way to fix it again, it should not be an issue.

No, I did not. But I did honestly not try yesterday for beta3.

Are you using security apps? It sounds like boeffla-config is not allowed to download or write to the file system etc.

I would need a bc.log file directly after you tried it, then I can let you know.

Wow, not bad.

As anyone know, I do not really give a sh*** on benchmarks, but I guess this is quite impressive :)

Remove scripts from init.d folders, always first thing.

These kind of roms bring their own tweaks that do not run fine with Boeffla. Remove the stuff and you should be good.

I am severely thinking of not executing init.d by default anymore. And to make it switchable as in my CM based kernels. I guess this would save me lots of support work from overloaded and overtweaked roms and not-so-experienced users (not meant personal).

I cannot say it is not the kernel. But it is super unlikely, I just used MTP myself again yesterday to transfer a full firmware via USB. No issues.

ATFR+LPA and multicore power saving to aggressive would probably save most battery if this is your priority. However, it can take longer for the phone to wake up and I also heard sometimes, events like notifications can be delayed by some seconds. Latter is unproven though.

So I would try this, and if it fits you keep it. Otherwise switch back from aggressive to off and keep ATFR+LPA.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kalda01:
Are you referring to the Neatrom scripts in /etc/init.d folder ? there are 2 files in there 97neatrom & 98neatrom. remove both ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
That would be my first thing, yes.

Then reset kernel to standard settings in boeffla-config by resetting the app.

And then see...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kalda01:
Thanks, I will try.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] boyheadkick:
Quick question Andi. If you disable init.d support on kernel side, does that mean the scripts in init.d folder will no longer be executed? If so, what workarounds can we do for them to still be executable?

Hi Andi

What's profile Battery Freindly : zz-battery or zz-battery yank? To use the phone more, Included => chat.call.web surfing.sms

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
I have ticked the checkbox in Boeffla config and uninstalled busybox app and at next reboot I can't enter the Boeffla config app anymore because I get a "Kernel version / busybox issue"

Why???
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
There is a menu in Boeffla-Config, it is in the settings. However, for Samsung kernels this is currently disabled as you can see.

I would then make it available for Samsung as well, default to OFF. But when you tick this option, it would be with normal init.d handling again.

Just a thought at the moment, nothing substancial...

My personal experience: zz-battery yank.

Hm, you need to restart once.

If it does not work as well, then you need to manually delete all existing and orphaned busybox links in /system/xbin manually by using a root explorer.

I already notices, Stericson busybox does not do proper cleanup - it just deletes the busybox file but leaves the symlinks there.

Best is to start when the app was never installed...

Good luck

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
I restarted again and now it works.

Which files must I delete manually for a good cleanup?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
If you want to do a proper cleanup, all files in /system/xbin that point to a busybox in /system/xbin.

In root explorer you can see if a file is a link...

In the end there should be more than 4-5 "normal" files left.

[MENTION=220904]andi[/MENTION]

beta3 is working great, but i noticed a kernel wakelock in bbs, "l2_hsic" to be exact...

Now, it is audio related if i'm not mistaken..? I disabled fast dormancy so it's not the cause of any wakelocks... Any help is apriciated...

Not related with this, can you tell me something about multicore powersave in this build, keep it off or on agressive setting for best battery saving, because i can't really tell the difference...? Thx
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, I am not a big friend of zRam (personally I do not use it as I do not need it - I can get well on with the existing physical memory).

But it has no significant impact on battery life. So you can use it like that.

l2_hsic is modem related, when I am not wrong.

And disabling fast dormancy is not always the solution, also weak network signal can cause these wakelocks etc.

But - I am not an expert on a wakelock that is listed under kernel wakelock but is a modem triggered one. So I cannot enlighten you more on that.

Multicore Powersave - this is not changed since implementation. It is a part of the ARM framework. And I would say agressive is for best battery saving, but there are some reports by some people that claim, it slows their system a bit down. So you have to try on your own.

Dear [MENTION=1470009]boeff[/MENTION]la, Does the boeffla kernel based on Linaro toolchain by ZaneZam consume more battery than yours using the same settings?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Seriously... how should I know that?

This is something too much dependent on your usage, your phone, settings etc.

And I do not install the Linaro version on my phone for some good reasons.

So, I am sorry to say... you have to give it a try and find out yourself for your specific case.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZaneZam:
as stated in the OP of the linaro build thread, it might be yes. i personally experienced that but for me it seems only to be in combination with zram - the latest build doesn't seem to have it and works well for me

without zram

atm, but i'm only on the first charging cycle yet so i can't say much. all this is MY experience with MY system/usage, no one can tell u if this applies also for yours and your settings. as Lord Boeffla said just try it then u will see ;) and keep in mind that you have to wait at least 2 charging cycles before u can really compare.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] onesolo:
And then reboot in the end!!!

I was trying to do that without rebooting, and found out that it was not possible to run Boeflla config.

On changelog I see a lot lines like this

So, what this really means to the enduser?? It does not do the same like the "Enable full Busybox" on settings, right?!? Cause I also don't find any related to supersu on boeffla config...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
su update means... the kernel has the build in function to root your phone if you want so. And to root, it uses the su version which I constantly update.

Not many users know they can root via Boeffla-Kernel. And I am not 100% certain it still works. But I still update su always to latest version.

If you are not rooted and start boeffla config, you will see the dialog where you will be asked whether you want to root now... :)

does enabling frandom reduce battery life? Is it recommended to u se it ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Nic2215:
Good question ...want to know that too. I'm confused by the massive different opinions.. Anyone can give a thought? Have been trying not much of difference, no?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] axetilen:
yes but very very little. Frandom can generate entropy faster than system default and higher entropy = more battery used

I believe that you guys can never notice the difference in terms of battery life. It's like 1 or 2% for 1 charge circle

The difference can be easily noticed when you have a slower phone. S3 is quite powerful so it is hard to see the difference. Therefore it is your decision. In fact it is faster without affecting battery life. or maybe placebo :D

according to some benchmarks I and some users did. I see no difference unfortunately :(

sometimes it is a bit faster but sometimes it is a bit slower ~> draw
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ymy3890:
Battery not sure performance yes...

I use Antutu to check the phone performance with/ without frandom, with frandom my phone run faster. I guess battery wise wouldn't consume to much....

Cifs is not working after the update @5.2 beta3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Links are virtual files which are not real but point to another, existing real file.

In Linux, you create a (symbolic) link by the command

ln -s target filename

Busybox's concept is to come with one file only (called "busybox") which contains all commands. However, to make them usable from outside of busybox, every command needs to link to the busybox executable.

This is Linux internals, maybe you search for a good book if you want to get more into...

Not that I could do anything more about it, because:

- it is apparently the same with stock kernel (if not, it is your Boeffla settings)

- I do not have any wakeup lag longer than 1-2 seconds (which is unfortunately normal on Exynos devices)

- We have no new source codes provided by Samsung that would enable us to do something (ok, not 100% correct, last night they dumped a new source base, but not for European market, so I wanna check what is in first)

I am pretty sure, something else got corrupted. Maybe you should do some cleanup or even consider an wipe if the last one is long ago.

Yep, as I said already, it is on the list of todos when I find some time again.

Currently I am working again on a completely different topic, creating a basic lightweight Boeffla-Mod for UNA7 again. But Samsung changed so many things, so it will take more time than expected.

Please let me know your GPU settings. If you overclocked your GPU, make sure you overvolt it ba 25 or 50 mV.

Aha, and now? Nice log, but would need what the problem was so I know what to look for?!?

It was already answered, but also confirmation from my side: You will not notice a difference in battery consumption in reality. This is at least my experience.

Was it still working in beta2 for you?

Would surprise me, as no changes were done that could break CIFS.

And just gave it a try: Working fine for me.

What is your mount point you tried? Please let me remind you again, it must be outside of /storage !!! So I mount to /mnt/cifs only, and it works just fine.

Thanks

It is a SEA source, so it is made for the Asian market. In the past, these sources were not running fine apparently with European roms.

Rulala,

it is exactly what you said, this is the functionality.

However, the levels are currently not yet balanced out perfectly.

So when you enable concert mode, you should really go to a concert (which is very very loud) - just trying with a television is not enough :)

But this might need a lot of more fine tuning. Which is hard to do, as I cannot go on concerts every day.

And that is the reason I still say, the mic mode is an experimental function at the moment.

Thanks for the input, I will try to adjust a bit with some next releases.
