AndiP, I've got a tip how to make update kernel function better. :) There's an option in B.Tweaks - "Load&Flash kernel". It asks whether I want Stable or Test version. But there's no info which exactly version is gonna be flashed either way, what's the number of version? :) Could you add this info? Thanks.

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------

It's fixed in v2.9b2a.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, it is fixed in beta2a. I reverted back to BFQ 5.1 release.

And yes, please enable kernel logger to get the utmost info out of it.

Yes, this is a good idea and it is on my list. However not for the 3rd party app I am currently using. Here it would be a really big workaround to make this somehow possible.

But it is indeed on my list for my own app I am starting to develop soon.

Thanks

Re: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.8 (02-03-2013)

Does this kernel support zram or is there a way for it to support it?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Searched and found the answer.

Then is there any way to get good multitasking in heavy usage as the bestmultitaskingfix doesn't work properly?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

the kernel only supports swap, no zram.

So guess apart from using swap, there is nothing more you can do currently.

Re: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.8 (02-03-2013)

Just flashed boeffla 2.9-beta2a and boeffla tweaks keep on force closing on me. Can't do anything with it.

Tried uninstalling the tweaks app and reinstalling, but doesn't help.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Weird.

You can try two things:

a) wipe dalvik cache and see if it helps

b) you go to /res/app and install the both apks you find there manually

Then it should work again.

OR - go in your applications in settings and deinstall both boeffla apps (tweaks and dialog helper). Then reboot.

I really love this kernel, but it's not compatible with Android File Transfer on MAC?

Thanx u!:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
??? Really, have no clue. Never had a Mac and will never have one :)

But what you could always try: In Boeffla-Tweaks you can enable UMS mode for your external SD card in your s3.

This should enable also to have it working with Macs as well.

Re: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.8 (02-03-2013)

Got it to work. Had to install the apps manually like you were saying. Strange though.

Spoke too soon, the app is frozen on changing expat support to "off". :(:(

I might just go back to the 2.8 and wait for this to turn stable.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, that is weird and strange.

But maybe we can find out together what the issue was?

If you are able to use a terminal, I would appreciate if you could do a quick test for me by typing the following commands there:

su

/system/bin/pm install -r /res/app/BoefflaTweaks.apk

and then tell me what the output is pls.

Hm, I really cannot help currently. Have no Mac, sorry.

But there are plenty of other ways to connect systems to your s3 - by using additional apps, going via wifi etc.

Hm, many thanks. Very weird still. I have to continue thinking what this could be...

Pardoned: Now as you know how to manually install the app, would you be able to help with another test please?

If so, could you please deinstall both boeffla apps via the settings in Android, reboot your phone and check if they got reinstalled or not?

Sorry to misuse you as a guinea pig here, but I cannot replicate the issue at all.

Andi i think i have solve my problem

I flash your kernel again and I dont touch any of the boeffla sound settings on the boeffla tweaks . I managed to change the settings throuth the Boeffla sound Control and now I THINK solve the problem .

Let me test it and i will tell you .
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ok, very very interesting.

If you havent reinstalled them manually now, when you now do the same command in terminal again which you did before, does the tweaks app then show up for you?

You are really of big help with these tests.

Odp: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.8 (02-03-2013)

I have the same situation like pardoned.

I installed b2 (wipe cache and davlik before + use kernel cleaning script). After reboot I see tweak app in app drawer but when I try to open it I get FC.

After reboot app disappear from app drawer. I can't find it in app manger but I have two files: tweak and dialer in data/app folder

If I try to reinstall kernel without deleting this files form data/app nothing change and I still don't have tweak app in app drawer.

But If I delete 2 files from data/app and reinstall kernel I get tweak app after first restart and it disappear after reboot.

In "boeffla-kernel" folder I have two files: cfg and log.

This is log file:

Hello Friends,

Me currently new to this kernel thread.currently using another kernel so need to try this kernel :fingers-crossed:

Also need to know a few things regarding this kernel :angel:

1.Currently had another custom kernel.so can i just flash this kernel via recovery or just need to wipe cache,dalvik etc before flashing :confused:

2.Any app from play store needed to download for config of kernal or any built in app included or not

3.Also suggest a gud governor & i/o for performance+battery friendly

4.Also consider that just installed the kernel(OUT OF BOX).Is the default settings included will give optimized performance & enough for normal users??

Thanks & hope that will get a gud answer :highfive: :good: :victory:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MrxSiN:
zzmoove opt vs pb-battery govenor. which 1 battery saving between this two?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
1. As far as i know you can just flash it. But wait for andi to respond :D

2. After you flash this kernel an app called boeffla tweaks will be automatically installed.

3. I suggest zzmoove (battery) + row for I/O scheduler

4. Yes I think so :) But you need to customize it in order to fully enjoy the capabilities of the kernel.

zzmoove opt i think is for users that want a balance between performance and battery saving

if you want a battery saving governor use zzmoove battery. Pegasus boeffla i haven't tried it though maybe wait for andi's response :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nightwing90:
Thanks & Waiting the OP to confirm :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

although already answered very well by SignetSphere, here my answers:

1) Yes, just install. No need to wipe anything. Although a dalvik-cache wipe is never wrong and sometimes cleans up things.

2) No, the app will get installed automatically (hopefully, as it does not seem to work for everyone 100%, if you cannot find it, let us know and we show you how to get it).

3) As SignetSphere wrote: Any zzmoove governor or maybe also the pegasusq boeffla moderate is good. Combine it with row or bfq scheduler.

4) Out of the box settings should already give you some benefits as some system tweaks get applies out of the box on kernel, vm, sdcard, file system etc.

Android File Transfer didn't work for me with many roms. I often use SwiFTP, AirDroid or Droid NAS which work fine. With Android FIle Transger it often helped for me to use different USB ports and to run it manually but it always was a game to get it working.

Hi could somebody explain what call gain for calls does in boeffla sound, what is suppose to happen if I move slider to 31 and if I move it to 0?

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
If you move the slider to 31, your microphone has higher sensivity, so your partner could probably hear you a bit louder, and you do not have to speak loud yourself.

If you move it to 0, you have to shout into the microphone and if you are lucky, your partner will hear something from you, but not much.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
I doubt it's related to the kernel though... have you tried asking on the omega thread? Also have you tried using any third party player like poweramp? There's a setting on those applications that restricts it to only scan your extsdcard for media files.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi, this is beyond the kernels responsibility.

It seems the media scanner process is not working properly for you. Or you have hidden folders or .nomedia files set there. Hard to say, but as another user already wrote: Not kernel related. You can flash back to stock kernel if you doubt and you will see, it is the same there.

No, only on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 international. And only on Samsung based 4.1.x. Firmwares.

This is great news. Good to know you are happy now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MrxSiN:
about the UMS settings in App, how does it work?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
You switch to UMS in the app, then connect your S3 to your PC/Mac.

On a pc, the external sd card will be available as a drive letter after Windows installed the driver. On Mac... no clue, but maybe similar :)

While you are in UMS mode, the external sd card is not available for Android. And also it is not possible to have a drive letter for the internal sd card due to the storage design Samsung decided for the S3.

When you are done, dismount the drive letter on your pc and switch UMS off again in the app. Then the external SD card gets mounted again for Android.

2.9-beta3

Good morning, or so...

The new version

2.9-beta3

is available for you now!!!

Before I disappear going on a business trip for the next 4 days, as promised, this is the latest beta now.

I spent big parts of the weekend supported by two testers (big thanks to pardoned and atomic339) together with ZaneZam to pinpoint the issue with the automatic installation of the Boeffla-Tweaks app. Hopefully this is sorted now in this beta.

Following changes are in beta3:

Boeffla-Tweaks app installation hopefully fixed now

Kernel log files are now stored into boeffla-kernel-data folder as well, not in the configuration file folder anymore

Fixed a wrong voltage setting of a regulator buck

Full change Log (compared to latest stable version 2.8)

All functionalities of stable 2.8 are contained

New: Completely built from scratch again based on latest Samsung source code drop Update8

New: Users that do NOT use an exFat formatted storage can disable loading the proprietory exFat dirvers completely (via Tweaks App or Config file) to save some memory and maybe some CPU cycles. If you have exFat in use currently, the app displays a strong warning to you to make you aware it might not be a good idea for you

New: If you overclock your GPU, a dialog will inform you that you might consider some overvolting for stability

New: The clean init.d function in the tweaks app now creates a backup archive with all the removed scripts

New: The debug info file name contains a time stamp now

New: When using the "load&flash" function in the tweaks app, the kernel image does not get deleted anymore after the flash (file boot.img stays in data folder). So you can archive it, store it somewhere, and even flash again via mobile Odin if you like.

New: New folder boeffla-kernel-data introduced: This folder will now contain things like the kernel start log files, efs backup, the debug info files, the backup archive for the init.d cleanup, and the boot.img kernel file after load&flash. Now these files do not mess up your root directory on your sd card anymore.

New: Addition script packs for the boeffla-tweaks app are now also installed into this new boeffla-kernel-data folder, older script packs automatically get migrated there (please be patient after first reboot, it can take a short while before it shows up in the tweaks app).

New: Version control for the boeffla-tweaks app is now completely rewritten to be more robust

New: Samsung ram disk updated to latest version

New: SuperSu updated to latest version 1.25

Fix: Wrong voltage settings on a regulator buck corrected

Fix: Charging rates are now showing up in the debug info file again

Fix: last_kmsg log is generated again if kernel logging is enabled (was broken since 2.7)

Thanks for testing. And please bear in mind, I will not be able to answer to questions very quickly over the next days as I am travelling.

Cheers

2.9-beta3 working very well. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Amanoo:
I (and considering the fact that there are a few topics about it on XDA probably a few others) would be interested if you could the smartdock-mode working as it did in 4.0.4 (or at least in the first so many 4.0.4 stock kernels, I don't know when they started changing it but I think it worked on most, if not all, stock 4.0.4 ROMs. If possible, changing the resistor value for the old docking mode (normally 40.2k Ohm) would be nice, so that the new version of it keeps working when a 40.2k resistor is used, but the old mode works as well for a new value (for example 100k Ohm, instead of the original 40.2k). I don't know how difficult it is or how willing you would be to give it a try, but I would be interested in such a feature if you were to try it out.

The old smartdock-mode allowed OTG and charging the phone at the same time, but I can't get it working on any recent kernel anymore.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

honestly, I have to investigate on this topic first.

I do not have a smart dock nor do I have a car dock. So I cannot test lots of stuff and even do not know what exactly was working with the old 4.0.4. kernels and what is not today.

I just can let you know, I enabled car dock support again in the kernel. However due to missing equipment I can never test it myself.

And I guess smart dock is something else again, or?

Sorry, not really my expertise area so far.

AW: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.8 (02-03-2013)

Andi, I have lags on many games with different settings... Also I experienced a high battery drain while playing a game or using wifi.

Any idea? I'm don't want to leave boeffla, but I also want to play games as good as with Perseus Kernel

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi romskii,

I do not know much about your settings, but as I never play games with my S3, I am not the right one to advice you.

Playing games sucks the battery, that is a given fact.

And if lulzactiveq + 1600 MHz overclocking + GPU overclocking to 700 MHz with overvolting of 50mV (or more or less) does not help, I cannot help you further.

I assume you are already on latest beta3, which I would highly advice.

Boeffla is for sure not designed as a gamer kernel, this is also stated in the OP. If it does not work for you with these settings, you would probably have to consider moving on to another kernel.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Draygon:
Am I allowed to ask which ROM you are using, AndiP?

I want to find a slim ROM for your great kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Amanoo:
Smartdock is a whole different docking mode than car dock. Smartdocks are meant as more desktop-based docking modes. Compare this: http://cdn0.sbnation.com/entry_phot...asmartdock-2_large_verge_medium_landscape.jpg

Car docks are meant for cars, so mostly charging and hands free business. At any rate the original docking mode in the S3 kernel was pretty simple: it made the phone expect to receive a charge from an external power source (as opposed to the phone being the power source in normal OTG mode), while having everything else function as a normal OTG-mode. This allowed the phone to be used with mice or other peripherals (I believe even USB hubs and harddrives). They made a whole new docking mode, of which I have no idea what Samsung's philosophy was.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Sure you may ask :)

I am a strong supporter of Samsung Stock odex roms, which I debloat myself after installation. This gives me a slim rom which runs 100% stable.

I do that since I got my Galaxy S1 and noticed many side effects coming from custom roms.

Currently I am running on XXEMR2 firmware provided by Samsung, with latest modem from EMB5 firmware. CSC I changed to OXAELLA as this supports dbt product code.

Yes, basically I always build my own "frankenstein" version where I put the pieces together as I like it.

If interested I can give you a link to a thread in a german forum where a friend of mine always post the frankensteins as well.
