Hi guys. I'm on slimkat and I want to use boeffla. What version is compatible with my ROM. Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
None in this thread. Head over to the cm Boeffla Kernel thread.

But you need latest stable 2.6 Omnirom Boeffla Kernel,to let you know already now.

Do you know why i can't reboot phone through Config App, it just stays at "Please wait, this can take a while..."?

Also, i can't reboot with terminal emulator, when i type "su", i get root access, but when i type "reboot" it says, "reboot: no such tool", i have that file in /system/bin, and in /system/xbin. I'm on Blekota Note 4 ROM. Also through wannam it didn't work, but Xposed Installer and QuickBoot app reboot phone successfuly. Tried "busybox reboot", nothing happen. :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, was exactly about to answer what you did already.

reboot is a command located usually in /system/bin.

And command is placed there by the rom.

So, if you have it there, but it does not work, it is broken in the rom.

Many time the reboot command is a symlink to a rom internal toolbox (you can find out with ls -la command in terminal too), and maybe it is broken in the toolbox. Etc.

Unfortunately this is not a topic for the kernel itself, but for the rom dev.

The Config app does exactly issue this command "/system/bin/reboot" to reboot. If the command does not work, it comes to the effect above.

I think you should report this in the rom thread, with the result of your command in the terminal window. They should be able to fix it.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ExTrEmEe:
yeah, that's what i've thinked, that app use "/system/bin/reboot", because it doesn't work in terminal, so it can't work in app.

Thanks. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I thought about compiling the reboot command into my kernel busybox, as I anways use only my own compiled busybox. So I could be independet of rom derps.

But on the other side, this happened now 2 times in the past 2 years in total. So it does not seem to be a big and frequent issue.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ExTrEmEe:
aha, i need reboot comand, as i don't have power button(stucked, so needed to remove it from board, will replace in few days). Comands worked fine in back to n00t, and DN4 ROM, so definitly something wrong with rom file, will try to replace it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
Agreed, quite amazing really, considering that CM10/11 had so many different issues!

I'm using Temasek's CM12 v6.8 (v7 is a bit wobbly so avoid for now) and it is perfect, oddly, quite how so early on is very pleasing.

Getting the best out of it in terms of performance is trickier, but I have nailed it with an excellent intelliactive profile, everyone who has used it seems to agree too, thanks to the lord for the kernel and my persistence in tinkling in the tunable section! It takes quite a different approach to the ones I produced for KK/JB roms. Anyone who does try out CM12, I would suggest you head over to my post and grab my profile to have a very sweet and fuild experience! http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58670212&postcount=1502

Fatal bug with back to n00t !!

Dear [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] i used your kernel (version 7.x ) on back to n00t v6 and my internal storage got corrupted , i.e i couldnt send photos on whats app neither on instagram .. then after this bug i got a dialog box which had this written " Syste uid's inconsistent you need to wipe your data partition " i did that but again i couldnt share photos on both apps but i can share them on facebook messanger , although i can send on whats app too if i select the default location as ext sd card , then it works ..

I am attaching the log cat , if you will look into it that would be really helpful . :crying:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Why do you ask this here?

All reported problems are no kernel problems.

I also never had that symptoms, so I am afraid I have no experience with that = I cannot advice anything.

In general: You are using a rom port, so it is a rom never designed to work on the s3. I never use these ported roms for my main phone as literally everything can happen...

Sorry

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zapty:
Oh yeah i get that thanks ..

by the way what ROM are you using on your s3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Still last 4.3 official rom.

Stable release updates

Hi all,

quick maintenance update before I disappear on to my next business trip (this time to UK) again tomorrow.

All 3 kernels have been updated:

Version 5.7 for Android 4.3

Version 6.5 for Android 4.4.2 (Archiport)

Version 7.5 for Android 4.4.4 (back-to-n00t)

Change log is the same for all:

Implemented new equalizer profile "Flat", which resets the equalizer in Boeffla-Sound to neutral settings

Toolchain changed back to proven gcc 4.7 (some people were reporting weird behaviour on 4.8, although I never had it myself)

Enjoy

Great work Andi.... Keep it up!!!!

Have a successful trip.....

Andi, just a quick one.... Can u tell me the advantages of ZRam / Swappiness??? Is ot true that it slows down the device??

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] leroy1985:
thx for this amazing kernal and have nice trip to uk
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tiz92:
I have question when you return from UK.

Im happy with the Touch wake feature. But in one build (for CM12) it was possible that when you locked the screen off with the power HW button or the home button the screen touch wake didnt worked. And i was very happy about this. So the feature worked only when the screen did shut down alone after the 15 or 30 second threasholt.

It is possible to implement this again or was it maybe only a bug?

Have nice days in UK. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
As always, depends on your usage pattern and whether you use apps that need a lot of ram.

My experience is: When you do not have excessive ram requirement, it is better to keep zRam off. Yes, I sometimes felt the phone more sluggish with zRam on. But as I close all my apps with the return button, I never have memory issues.

If you have strong need for ram, zRam can indeed help to make these apps at least running.

And swappiness just determines how aggressively zRam should be used or not. My default is 80 when you enable zRam, and I think this is a good standard setting.

If it ever was (which I doubt with my kernel, as this was never implemented this way and I have not changed touch wake for more than a year now)... then it was not the intention.

By intention, the power button locks the phone completely and disables touch wake. So you can safely put it into a pocket etc.

You can load one of the free screen off apps and put a shortcut to it on your home screen. If you lock by this, you still have touch wake enabled.

But yes... I will not change this behavious as this is the most flexible and logical behaviour in my opinion.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Guys,

this is to inform you, I will starting on a business trip in around 1 hour for the next 5 days, going to the UK this time.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] leroy1985:
have a nice trip, its frikin cold over here, youll probably be wanting to get back asap lol

i think my phone just doesnt like the extreme power preset overclock actualy, thought it was stable but it freezes for about 1 sec then carrys on as normal when playing games, i take it that means the overclock is unstable ? it shows no other problem though and i can continue playing and it wont crash or anything like that, just keeps freezing now and then for a second then normal again, annoying because i get a nhice couple fps boost.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ExTrEmEe:
it can be because of DVFS, disable it and then try, if it's not a problem, then maybe because of low voltages, you can try to increase it by 25mV, but be careful, and it can be because of overheating, but as you said, outside is very cold, go outside and play games, to keep you phone cold xD :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zapty:
[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION]

Does zram effect battery life ?:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No. You would not notice any difference.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] D00ky:
What kind of weird behaviour? Could it be something with switching between governors? In my case only pegasusq works ok (all profiles). If I use any other governor after some time system gets laggy. After switching back to pegasusq everything gets back to normal. I think that I used to have this problem before.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Some users reported all sorts of weird behaviour, especially phone sluggish to wake up.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] leroy1985:
hah, yeah then at least ill know if its because it overheating, thx for the advice im trying it, ill let you know how i get on

ok so i tried disabling the dvfs, but it still froze on the extreme power preset, so i did what you said and tried 75mv instead of the default 50mv and that fixed it, now im a little worried if im safe to continue playing with that ? how dangerous is overclocking like that for my phone ? im just wondering whats the worst that would happen, obviously id only use it for playing certain games where i need a little boost in fps, i just wonder if my phone would switch off before there was any real damage, then id just remove the overclock, its just not knowing if its gonna fry my phone or not lol

well it seems fine so far, playing deus ex the fall for an hour, does get hot but i think thats normal as my s2 got very hot playing gta san andreas, no idea why deus ex looks amazing, first mobile game where i feel its not just dumbed down crap, cant get over how good it looks, i wish there were more proper good games like it though
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION]

great job as always, my friend
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ExTrEmEe:
so clocks are too high for that voltages, that's high overclocking, so don't play too much with it. You will notice high overheating, install CPU Temp Xposed module(if you have xposed) and check cpu temperature while playing, also you can install CoolToll, also xposed module, it can overlay cpu freq., battery temp...

If you end up with bootloop, because of overclocking or something, just flash boeffla-config-reset-v2.zip, from boeffla config folder, and it will reset all kernel settings to default.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] leroy1985:
OK thx for the advice, I'll install the temp monitors, but what about GPU temps as well, wouldn't that be the most important component to monitor?

OK I installed both them modules, now the only thing I don't know is safe temps for this CPU, I'll try google. All the stats are showing nicely, the cores are labeled c,f,m,t what's that mean?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ExTrEmEe:
don't know about gpu temp monitor.

cpu temp can go up to 120C, then it will shutdown, but you will never reach that temps, kernel will kick down frequency, when cpu reach 85C, you can't disable this. Don't know about core labels xD
[Galaxy S III Android Development] leroy1985:
ok thx, so im looking to stay under 85c yeah ?

get just over 60c with the power preset wich is @ 1400mhz, seems alot better heat wise

bit more testing on gta san andreas with the extreme power and 75 mv, it does seem to be getting a bit high if the kernal throttles clock down at 85c, i got up to 80c so maybe ill use the power preset instead, as that seems rock solid, no problems with that preset at all

i wonder does charging the battery while playing have an effect on the cpu temps at all, or just battery temps
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ExTrEmEe:
kernel will not allow you to get above 85C. I don't know why are you doing all that, i played GTA with default kernel settings, and all works smooth, on high game settings. Charging will affect both, because, cpu use phone body as heatsink, so if you heat up battery, heat will transfer to phone, so less space for cpu cooling. Try to avoid charging and playing, heat also isn't good for battery life :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] leroy1985:
yeah no it was prurely for testing purpous m8 lol, i dont use or need it playing any gta game thankfully, was just testing is all, i use it for deus ex and thats the only game atm, any way thx for helping me and all the great advice, i just have one last question if you dont mind

when charging my phoone is it ok to charge while the battery saving preset is active, or should i make sure all settings are default so no undervault or overclock whilest chaging?

one thing i notice from monitoring cpu is that it isnt used much in these games
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ExTrEmEe:
hah, then ok :D

i think that presets or any other settings, don't affect charging, except slider for setting charging amperage.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] leroy1985:
i ended up undervolting the cpu whit the extreme power preset activated by -25mv, this brought the temps down pretty massivly, it now avergaes around 60-70c, mainly 60-65, but seen it go to about 72

i really need it though because any other preset really does give me more lag, i still get a little lag with this preset its just way more playable, may have to find something to give me the exact fps though

Extract the profile it off the zip and put q anywhere on the phone. then put the profile in the boeffla folder on the internal SD card and then tap the default word at the top of the boeffla app to open the profiles section, now tap load and select the profile to load it in the app, now tap the profile on the screen and you are done! :)

Mic problem

Hi everyone!

I have one issue about my mic, even though I'm not sure it's kernel related...

I've been using this kernel for more than a year and i've always run 4.1.2. and the problem has always existed: sometimes the mic doesn't work on third-party apps (such as PCM recorder or Whatsapp voice messages and so on...) but works fine with calls. When I reboot everything works fine, but i dont get what happens cause the problem shows up from time to time...

Now I'm using Boeffla Kernel 6.5, with no sound tweaks related to the mic...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Dabidue:
v7.4 vs. v7.5

After quickly checking v7.5 I am back on v7.4 because I never had problems with it, it's solid and stable and has everything useful my needs for daily usage, feature rich and greatly tunable by the config tool to my needs. :good: :highfive:

I will try again if compiled with gcc 4.9. :cool:

With todays unofficial build of cm12 from [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] has big performance improvements, i imagine there have been some kernel changes since the last boeffla cm12 ng update.

samsung releases source code as update 15 !!!

[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] update 15 is here ..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
Will v6.5 be updated for this for ported 4.4.2 rom? Is it possible
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I am not very sure. The 6.5 kernel (and the 7.5) do not base on S3 sources anymore, but on n7100 sources.

So I would need to diff update14 and update15 first. Most likely, everything in update15 is already in my 6.5 and 7.5 kernels included.

However, the 4.3 kernel variant for Samsung might be worth a try with update15. As said, will diff next week to check.

Hi Lord Boeffla, I'm having FC on the config app every time that I try to use the pro options to flash kernel or modem. Obviously I have the pro key. It's related to the app or it can be a problem of the rom? Thanks in advance

Most likely rom, as I never had that.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gvmiguez:
I'm using my own rom. I take a logcat, here it is.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
All I can see is, the app does not crash in the app but already in the Android Runtime somewhere.

I do not know what "your own rom" is, but something does not seem to be compatible with official roms.

Or you have security settings applied somewhere by some app etc. I cannot tell you unfortunately.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gvmiguez:
Thanks for your time Lord, my rom is the one we talked about to include your kernel by default, its a 4.4.4 port
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
If you do a reset of the app (or uninstall/install it again), and still have FC, then something is really not 100% right with some setup in the rom.

But I cannot guide you more, as the logcat does not show more.

No, you are correct.

It seems, the exFat driver has been updated to a newer version.

And some minor changes to the netfilter stuff.

Nothing major, still I will check during this week if it is worth putting some stuff in.

Omnirom is the other thread, as another user already indicated.

Changes were explained already in a thread somewhere. Nothing important, just changes to exFat driver (where I anyways have a newer one in than in update14) + some netfilter stuff.

How can we know how many cores are being active and for how long.

From your app i can see the frequencies but not how many cores.

I want to know so i can put how many zram devices since i heard its better to use 2 if only 2 cores is active more.

What do you think

I am currently not aware of any counter the kernel would expose for this reason.

But you can try to search through the sys fs if you want, maybe you find something helpful there.

Starting point for you is /sys/devices/system/cpu. Then search in that folder and look at the files. Currently I cannot do it myself, too many projects ongoing...
