So far the latest firmwares of the I9300 variant doesn't have the KNOX bootloader. I can even downgrade to an older bootloader XXBFLB which is a ICS bootloader (only safe to use if your chip is a "sane" one). eFuse is also not present with the latest firmwares. I think Samsung only implemented this on the Note 3 (and they will probably implement this on their future devices) since this is a hardware chip embedded on newer devices but i'm not sure.

I did that too, 1st is i use the default gpu, then overvolt it, then i try changing to two frenquency plus overvolt all same effect, lags everytime..the past 5.1beta1-3 i guest, which that don't have the gpu tweaking is much stable than the ones with gpu tweaks..atleast might be the problem is only implemented on my device since i don't see reported same as i have..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] janres155:
Before you undervolt and overclock, make sure you press the reset button every after you switch from different voltages and clock.

This is to ensure that you start from the default frequencies and voltages.

If you don't press reset, the undervolt will accumulate and therefore can cause reboots and instabilities.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lkirra:
sorry

Sorry, i am a fan of boeffla kernel, i have been using it since day 5 (if my memory is correct) i have my hands on my s3 and been playing with the applications settings since..thanks for the concern anyways..

Happy new year to us all!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] janres155:
I don't mean to offend you my friend. It is just that as far as I remember the reset button is necessary based on my experience, and that is why it existed in the app.

Btw, I don't mind if you have been using it longer than me. But even though I just started from series 4 I never had those problems you encountered, because I take some correct precautionary measures.

And again, Happy New Year!. :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
Get better battery stats use phone for 1 full charge and see what's consuming battery. May have rogue app running in background needs to be brought under control. Then get greenify read up on it. Guide screen on all the time ~9%, screen on part time 2.5-4.5%/hr consumption.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Errm... no. This is not how Boeffla-Config is designed.

Boeffla Config always takes stock voltages when you apply any differences.

So if you apply -50mV for example, it does deduct it from stock values and not from current values.

So it is not possible it accumulates. Reset button just sets everything back to stock voltages again.

No, it is not normal. And the kernel does not touch root as such, so very weird.

But please follow the advice given, by flashing SuperSu cwm zip in recovery it should be fine again anyways.

I could look into that. But is that really what you want? It surely drains a bit more battery (maybe not noticable though) and wears your LED (which might also not be an issue).

I put it on the list to look after, but not with high priority.

Well, just to state it again: Influence on kernel compared to your installed apps and services is marginal, maybe 5:1 (5=apps, 1=kernel).

I know, the kernel does not drain as I just was on holidays for 2 days and I had pretty much the same battery drain rate as with 4.1.2 kernel/firmware.

I would also advice to search for the wake locks and find out which app causes them by using betterbatterystats app.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] noobtron:
Thx Sir, I feel blinking led is sometimes very annoying eg. in a dark room.

Static led is also more informative, I guess - you don't need to wait full led cycle to see if the notification led is on.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MrDSM:
Yes like me: 1h and 50% remaining, so 2h for full battery charge.

For me there is no improvement with this kernel for my experience... and when i use the phone in 3G or Wifi, the battery percentage melt strangely...

2 hours with Wifi with standby = -20%

and when i see the battery status, there is no activity in this 2 hours, juste the graph melt down... :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Look at what I have posted before again:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49044823&postcount=9769

If you expected a kernel would magically improve battery life of your phone by doubling it or so... you are just wrong. This is not possible and will not be possible.

If you had bad battery life already with stock kernel, you will not have much improvement with a custom kernel. Because something else is wrong.

But you are the only one who can find it out. Others, like me as well, have 5 hours screen on time. Why not you? That is your challenge to find out.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MrDSM:
Look at my battery status and no activity but draining battery... I didn't have this with the Stock 4.3 and 4.1.2 Kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
But then the decision is clear: Stock Kernel runs better on your phone. So why not going back to stock or using a different custom kernel?

As I said - I got 5 hours screen-on time, others as well.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yussuf007:

i think you need unchek "scanning always available" in setting/wifi/advenced.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MrDSM:
The "scanning always available" is unchecked...

Excuse me Andi, but i say just what i have, with stock Kernel i didn't have this problem of draining battery in Wifi standby.

But i wanted to install another kernel just to have more...

Disappearing for a few days...

Hi there,

just want to let you know I will be on short holidays over the upcoming weekend. Wellness trip with my wife.

As the location we are going only provides Edge connectivity, I will try to follow the thread but probably not contribute a lot.

But I am very convinced you will also survive a few days as we have many experienced Boeffla-Kernel users that for sure can provide some support.

Over these days I will think about some ideas I have for the next kernel release...

Take care!

Hi,

Really nice kernel. By far the best I tried.

I just have problems with Light manager. Even in alternate mode, I only see one Led notification even if there is 2 different notifications.

I think problem comes from access notifications for Light manager. I enabled it but app still says it's not enabled. With stock kernel it worked..

Any suggestions?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] janres155:
Hi Andi

It really did occur to me that it accumulated, and I think it is from V1 of the app. That is why I always reset after that happened to me.

This what I have done from what I remember:

1. Undervolt -100

2. then Undervolt to -50

3. I had random reboots

I then noticed that I already have a undervolted value of -150 after checking, so I never tried it after what happened.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Oh dear, maybe in V1 it was the case, yes.

But not in V2 anymore, I am really sure. Would be could if you could try to reproduce it. I was not able to...

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] janres155:
Yeah it happened during V1, so I always thought it worked that way until now. Well as you said, it wasn't on V2 anymore.

Sorry, I really thought it is still working that way until now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
All is good, Janres.

How should you know the internals of the app and how it works without seeing the source code. So, your point was absolutely vital and helpful.

What makes me wonder is:

I never put anything specific into the older Boeffla kernels for external DACs, nor did I remove something. I left the section completely untouched.

Didnt mean to thumb up that. Your the first person I have heard with that issue.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Let me guess, you use a custom rom.

I am 99% sure, the customrom has a stupid zipalign script in init.d folder.

Just delete this script out of /system/etc/init.d and you will be fine in future.

I severly think about removing init.d support :crying:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] danierakes:
Boeffela..I already test ur 5.1 beta 9 kernel on odex rom and deodex rom(custom rom)...and I can tell u that beta 9 running good in odex rom...but not in deodex rom/custom rom...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Then use stock odex rom, hehe. Is anyway the best choice if you want a stable rom without glitches and side effects.

Regarding deodex vs odex roms:

This cannot make a difference in the view of the kernel. This is several layers up the kernel in the dalvik VM. The kernel does not know or take any care if the rom is odex or deodex.

Regarding stock vs. custom roms:

This can be. I never encourage people to flash any weird custom roms with thousands of patches and shaky features added. There are clean custom roms around, but most of them add "features" by tweaking parameters which the kernel does better.

Hence, if you really want to run such a freakin custom rom, make sure you do not have crazy scripts in your init.d folder which many times mess up the things. They are (if at all) optimized for the kernel that comes with the rom, but thats it.

Flash Boeffla -> make sure your init.d folder is either clean, or you know what the script does and that it does it correctly in a neat way.

That is my recommendation.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] simplyanin:
How to make init.d folder clean? And what will it do?

What is the best battery saving tip for this kernel?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MysteryIII:
About UMS for 4.3:

This App works without any problems. Maybe you can implement UMS this way again?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Easiest is to use the menu item in the app, this cleans your init.d and moves all the scripts into a backup file even.

What does it do? It removes scripts that are in 99% of all cases useless and not required (or do even conflict).

Best battery saving tip: There is none. Try zzmoove governor, zzmove battery yank profile, zen for both schedulers, do not overclock, do not undervolt, but >80% of your power is eaten by apps and the rom.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Thanks, I try to reverse engineer this.

No problem Andi, I'm happy I was able to help your development/engineering. I was annoyed of having MTP only so I spent some time on google.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] janres155:
I am 100% sure that this caused by the script that doesn't correct the permissions of the zipaligned app, so that is why it is missing.

Usually before zipaligning, the script moves the apk into the /cache folder then zipalign it in there, and then it returns the zipaligned apk into its original directory but the maker of the script forgot to set the correct permissions of the app again.

In a nutshell, greenifying apps is hibernating them and they wont wake up until you open them yourself...so yeah it saves battery by not allowing them to eat away at your device resources..

Battery will always vary by usage. I recommend it. Tweak your own settings and make the magic happen if you want more.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Kernel does not even care about messages and phonebook entries.

Something else must be wrong, maybe a side effect from the flash.

Just be cautious. I also deleted this symlink once long time ago, and by that lost all the content in the other folder as well.

If you want to do something, I would encourage you to backup your data first. To not loose it like I did.

Yes, only the UMS feature was coming back.

The UMS I restored means, you can enable UMS mode directly in Boeffla-Config App again.

Thanks. Although I do not personally provide the 9305 kernel but others port it, it is always nice to read about that :)

Yes, it is fairly safe. And as this script continues causing issues every then and now, I really consider blocking it during init.d execution.

You should get fairly more battery life. But as I explained many times yesterday - do not expect a huge jump. The main consumers of battery are apps and their services. So the kernel portion is rather low compared to this.

Andi
