I know I/O scheduler have different impact on each phone setup, but in our opinion guys, when it comes to battery saving, which one is better, SIO or Row? Both are running smooth, so I can't decide :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pretzel Kleo:
ROW in my opinion.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gsw5700:
I use row for internal SD (as it's mainly read-only) and sio for the external SD card (as it's read-write) great that Boeffla offers you this option

Gotta say my phone is great on 2.12 Great work Andi and ZaneZam

Could you share the settings you are using, Push~!?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pusheka:
Yes
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bounti:
I have a question. When using the memory swap mod, does the kernel still see the actual internal as internal and the actual external card as external? Why I ask is because I'd like to set the internal Scheduler to ROW and the external to SIO, but I'm not sure if it should be the other way around seeing as the mod is installed.

''* ZZmoove 0.3 governor (focus on battery performance)"

It might cause a little confusion to some users that really reads the changelog since you said 2.12 contains ZZmoove 0.5.1b and not 0.3.

Radio and equalizer

Hi,

anybody knows how to make equalazer in boeffla-kernel to work with radio?

To me it works only with audio player

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I could, but do not have this in my near-time plans honestly.

If you want to get rid of crt-off effect, just undo the mod that enabled crt-off for you.

Stock roms do not have this effect built in for instance, so even if you flash this kernel you do not have crt-off. It is always a combination of the rom providing the effect and the kernel to support it.

Maybe I will think about making this configurable when I finished writing my app.

The equalizer does not work with radio as it gets bypassed in the signal path.

I do not know any way to change this limitation.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Why? - I do not know.

I never experienced this problem, but I am always on Samsung stock firmware. That is probably why all works as designed.

Please post your Boeffla-Sound settings, so I might advice what things to try.

The mic fix was just for the "mic-does-not-work-after-boot" problem on certain custom roms. Many users confirmed this to be fixed.

What you are talking about is apparently the mic stopping to work after a while. Right?

As I posted above - I do not know. I can hardly tackle something I cannot replicate/see on my side.

Also for you:

- please tell me exactly which firmware you are using

- please tell me your boeffla-sound settings

My boeffla-sound config is minimal:

* headphones to 60

* EQ to eargasm

* Privacy mode on

With that I never had any issues.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, the kernel still sees the "card" as they are before the mod.

The mod actually only remounts the file system differently.

So keep internal scheduler to ROW and external to SIO, as without the mod.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Boldizzle:
Yup after a while it stops working. Sorry for not providing specific details.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

ok, please do me a favour and try for a while with only using hw equalizer. Please put back fll tuning, dac oversampling and speaker tuning back to off.

Just for a test please.

Maybe one of these options (which I personally never use) cause it.

Would definitely help!

Has anyone played around with the microphone call sensitivity setting. I feel no difference by increasing the level to 30
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Nononoooo. This is not a flashable zip. You need to unzip it and flash via mobile odin or odin.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yep, there is not much bandwidth to increase sensitivity here (as 31 is the maximum and default is already quite high).

The setting is more meant to reduce sensitivity, especially the general setting when you want to record videos in noisy environments...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Linaro cannot be "added", it is a toolchain, or in other words - a different compiler.

However after lots of testing my testers said the google 4.7 stock toolchain results in more smoothness than the highly optimized linaro toolchains.

So I switched from Linaro to 4.7 google stock a while ago.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Michaels1980:
Just flashed 2.12 on Omega 43.5. Looking great so far, many thanks for your work. I first noticed menu scrolling and Swype are much faster. Overall, the phone feels faster in general.

One unusual thing I am seeing since upgrading is a fading off of the screen when auto brightness is disabled.

Auto brightness off, then press power button = screen fades off.

Auto brightness on, then press power button = screen instantly turns off.

Seems to be something special with Omega rom, which the kernel enabled somehow.

Hey guys,

ok, this clearly shows - there is some screen off animation compiled in these roms.

Usually, when a kernel does not support earlysuspend, they are not visible.

But as Boeffla-Kernel does support it, it becomes appearent.

Have you asked in the respective rom threads already if you can switch these animations off when they bugger you?

For series 3 of Boeffla-Kernel, which will work with my own config app I am currently developing, I can consider making the early suspend configurable. However, not in the 2 series anymore.

So, it can take some more weeks until 3 series comes.

Just to let you know...

Hi guys, Ive got a bit of a problem :(

I've made a new thread about it in the Q&A section, but wanted to ask in here too seeing as I use ur kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2342163
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Humm... never heard that so far.

Are you sure you do not have an app installed that is able to set "quiet times" in a way, so it disables the sound?

I am honest, I almost never get calls on my S3, but I tried it just now after having a 71 hours uptime - no problem.

Let's hear and see whether this is a common issue for others too...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
No apps to make "quite times"

I had my other half call me over and over again yesterday, and sometimes it rang, sometimes it didn't.

Just wanna say quickly I am not sure this has anything to do with the kernel, but seeing as its one of only 2 firmware mods I use, I thought I would ask, never had any problems with any builds, stable or test, of this kernel, and I love it!!

Yes, the in-built HW equalizer is a 5 band eq. With the presets, the bands are slightly adjusted and mainly the gains are changed.

When you look here, you can learn how to fine tune and tweak it completely:

Good news as such.

Did you ever esperience a hot or cold boot during that time so far? I am asking, because I had two of them within the past 15 hours, and do not know if it is related to the new kernel version or not...

Yes, absolutely. You might need to install the camera fix, as we are not having latest Samsung kernel sources in hand. But then it should run fine.

One example: http://www.blogtechnika.com/android-tweaking-demystified-part-ii-init-d-scripts

Andi

Thanks.

When I created a new folder in root of phone called #!/system/bin/sh it disappeared. How do I find this?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
The #!/system.... is something you need to put as first line into your script file.

Not creating a folder with that name :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pard0ned:
Oh :o damn. Okay. So I just go to /system/etc/init.d and create a new .txt file with that at the start? Then just add echo "12 8 3 -1 1" > /sys/class/misc/boeffla_sound/eq_gains? Does it matter what name I give the file?

Also, do I need to disable the eq in boeffla-kernel.config?

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

So I went ahead and created a file called 44preferedsoundEQ in /system/etc/init.d.

I've put

#!/system/bin/sh

echo "8 3 -1 4 9" > /sys/class/misc/boeffla_sound/eq_gains

Into the file. Saved it. Checked boeffla-kernel.log and it appears to have been run fine on boot. I disabled pleasant for ears eq as well.

Does this look right Andi?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Looks good, but to be on the safe side, put the following lines in before your line:

echo 1 > /sys/class/misc/boeffla_sound/boeffla_sound

echo 1 > /sys/class/misc/boeffla_sound/eq

Then you are sure, whatever you do, Boeffla-Sound and the Equalizer are both switched on.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pard0ned:
I actually just created a new separate script for echo 1 > /sys/class/misc/boeffla_sound/eq_gains.

Can I put them all in one file? Would that be okay?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes you can and should, to be sure about the sequence.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pard0ned:
On a side note, this kernel hasn't half unleashed the sound of this wolfson chip. WOW! It's an absolute pleasure listening to music on my phone now - through Soundmagic E10 earphones. Your kernel is, by far, my favourite on this site! Huge thanks!

The Boeffla-Kernel.log and .config are incredibly handy.

I've got my perfect setup now. ARHD V14 and boeffla kernel v2.21. Wont be changing this for the foreseeable future.

Edit: Changed as recommended. I've amended it to now show:

#!/system/bin/sh

echo 1 > /sys/class/misc/boeffla_sound/boeffla_sound

echo 1 > /sys/class/misc/boeffla_sound/eq

echo "8 3 -2 4 9" > /sys/class/misc/boeffla_sound/eq_gains

Inside the file.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yank555:
That app just checks the file access rights, and using the memory area whitelisting Andrei made, the filerights are not changed (they cannot, else it breaks the camera on new libs).

The app doesn't check for the exploit, it merely relies on the filerights to deduct if the system is protected, which is not reliable enough as it won't be able to test Andrei's protection method.

Andi is there a problem on the Stereo Expansion setting on the boeffla sound app? I can't seem to make changes on that cause everytime i change the value it just reverts back to 16 once I exit and see the app again. Everything seems fine though only that i can seem to change.

EDIT:

Are you also planning on adding a value selector for the stereo expansion (eg. 0 as default, 16, 25, 31) on the boeffla tweaks app? I don't know if this is a bug but i also noticed that I need to change the values on tweaks app first to make permanent changes to the sound app.

EDIT 2:

Now this is weird lol. The changes got permanent while I was playing some music (Thru PowerAmp) but when i restarted my S3 it reverted back to 16 again.

Hi Signetsphere,

Boeffla-Sound: I cannot comment, Boeffla-Sound app is developed by Simone. Maybe he reads still this thread and can give his opinion. If not, you can also reach him via e-mail, his mail address is given in the playstore along with the app.

Boeffla-Tweaks: No, the tweaks app will not be extended anymore. I am currently in the middle of programming my own kernel config app, there I can consider much more options.
