Thanks. I am downloading that, but purely for making a diff beween the two kernel bases.

I am not sure whether I would want to build a kernel for European devices on this code. But, lets check it out :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Thanks, only try to do my best.

They might have released it, see last postings. But I am not blindly jumping on them now, first want to DIFF them and see what they changed.

Will look into it, as promised.

But only after I have released a first alpha version of a 4.3 kernel to public.

Which seems to be quite close already :)

4.0 stable

Hi there,

Version 4.0 stable is now officially released.

Change log is identical with the one of last beta4.

Will change the OP soon...

Cheers

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
Thanks Andi will download it now :). Btw seems like we'll see new sources soon (probably named XXUGMK2 excluding the kernel Chinese firmware which seems really bad) as South Korea is already receiving a similar update. Changlist and build date is also newer so this one should be more bug free than MJ9.

EDIT:

[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] I Just updated to 4.0 stable and everything went well. Just a question on SetCPU. The version 2 of the config app says that it's conflicting with it? I don't see any instabilities on mine though.

XDA is being cranky again I've been experiencing slow downs and 504 gateway errors as of this writing :eek:

As I expected, they did massive changes to the mali drivers. The performance was really extremely bad in 3D benchmarks.

I think I would try to build a test kernel on it, just for fun, to see what happens.

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

this is the new scanning function of the app.

And to be precise, it says: could POTENTIALLY conflict.

The reason is, I sometimes get support requests because settings "do not stick" in Boeffla-Config. And then we find out another app that can change the same settings was interfering.

So I am just listing known apps when they are installed to point out, there COULD be an issue if something is weird.

Yes, XDA is a nightmare currently... :(

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
I see... thanks for the clarification. I'm not experiencing any of my settings not sticking (even after a reboot) so I'll disregard this warning then.

Thanks again for the update. Stable as ever. :good:

EDIT:

I'll be uninstalling SetCPU to avoid potential conflicts as I think the boeffla kernel and it's governors are already doing SetCPU's job. And honestly... in my long run of using SetCPU I don't notice any performance or battery gain at all. So yep no more SetCPU on my device.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Achraf AOUAD:
My lord after i updated to 4.0 stable from beta 3 everything seems normal except one thing.

My default language is french and now after every reboot is switch itself to English and i have to change it again to french...

I dont know if it is just me or everyone else who don't use English as thier default language

Weeeeeeeeeellllllllllll, usually I hate giving ETAs.

But as I already have internally a 2nd alpha version running, now basing on latest 4.3 sources published for the latest Chinese firmware, I am more and more confident it will be soon...

waaat

I didn't ask for the kernel or the firmware, which I already have.

I just need to know how to flash the whole firmware with Odin.

Fuxmen: Lets see. I have given both alphas to my testing team and waiting for their response.

But the kernel code of ZCUBMK2 seems to be more up-to-date. Samsung released it just around a day ago. The older 4.3 sources were released more than a week ago already.

Andi

I just wanted to know if I can indeed flash the bootloader without problems or I'd have to remove it from the .tar

Ok, I would never even dare to flash a Chinese Firmware onto my European device.

So I cannot really help with that.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sanefirst:
Sorry for noob question. This kernel is for 4.1.x ROMs only?

I was following the topic and realized that you use latest sources in order to create kernel for 4.3 and I just grabbed it from your website, installed with CWM and the phone didn't boot :/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
The 4.3 kernel is not out in the wild. It is with my testing team for the moment.

So yes, the answer is - as stated clearly in the OP: This kernel is only for 4.1.x.

When the 4.3 kernel arrives, I will let you all know.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GUZGUN:
i have the same problem. My default language is greek and after every reboot is switch itself to English and i have to change it again to greek. This happens after installing the stable V4.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No clue.

As I said.. kernel has no chance to change language of the firmware.

And... I am on 4.0 stable as well. And I have German language, and the same after every reboot :)

But I have enabled version 4.0-beta4 again for you here:

http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/sgs3/boeffla-kernel/Test/

So, if you want to flash beta4 again and report if the problem is solved then?

There is no single line changed code between 4.0-beta4 and 4.0 stable. So I do not see a reason at all.

Master Andi, I don't want to sound like a broken record but my freezing gaming issues are back. Except this time, it fixes every time I reset all the settings in the boeffla app. Now I'm just tweaking things one by one to see which one causes the problem. Definitely not the GPU since I don't tinker with it.

Look, after had a LOT of gaming issues too I finally have peace in mind with it: Galaxy S3 isn't good with games! LOL I'm, having the same. it get better and then it gets worse and so on... for me the solution was: DEAL WITH IT! LOL

My hopes are on the 4.3 release this month...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
I refuse to do so. I've returned all my settings to normal and the only thing I haven't tweaked is the governor. It's still at pegasus q standard. The phone's a beast with games. I'm not denying that.

But alright then. I'll keep this all to myself.

First 4.3 Kernel Alpha

Hi guys,

before I disappear for today, a goodie for the "brave" ones of you:

The first public alpha kernel for Samsungs 4.3 firmware - 5.0-alpha2.

Download from here:

http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/sgs3/boeffla-kernel/Test4.3-alphas/

What do you need to know?

1) Basis for the kernel is

latest

Samsung kernel sources from today (GT-I9300_SEA_JB_Opensource_Update1) - not the already existing code base of last week.

Everything is built from scratch (!), and not by applying a code rebase update to the existing 4.0 kernel code.

2) You

HAVE TO

update Boeffla-Config to version 2.0-beta5 from Play store. Former versions will crash.

3) Some functionalities are

not yet

implemented in this alpha version (some might never be at all, let's see), this is currently:

* GPU voltage/frequencies (will only implement that once the mali part is stable one day)

* Black crush fix is not in (Samsung changed the MDNIE completely)

* Sharpness tweak is not in (see above, MDNIE is completely changed)

* LCD frequency based CPU frequencies (was anyway only for specialists messing around in tunables)

If something does not work or your phone does even not boot anymore or behaves weird: IT IS A FIRST ALPHA. Everything can happen.

As always - everything on your own risk !!!

As pointed out, I will be dropping off for today, do not expect any big support anymore until tomorrow.

Cheers and (hopefully) enjoy

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Let's see.

At least with my kernel since yesterday I did not see any big battery issues anymore. Fingers crossed :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
Thank you very much, I'm going to test
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
But you need a 4.3 Rom for it... just to make it clear again :D

I have not tested the 4.3 kernel on 4.1.x... would not make sense to me due to the early stage of the kernel sources.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] discord84:
Hi AndiP first off great work on this kernel!!

Can anyone answer a few questions for me please

1. Im running Boeffla v2.4 stable at the moment an is the first to include the tweak app

Now if i use the app do i need the config folder and config file? As i have a config folder/file but the settings dont seem to be the same as i set in the app?

2.I want to use the boeffla sound app but read that not to alter any sound options in the tweak app. so i guess i set all options in the twak app to default concerned with sound??

3. Once i know whay im doing with the above i want to try out v2.6. I read i need to uninstall the camera/video fix. I installed video_recording_fix_for_4.1.2_-minimal.zip do i install Video Recording Fix for XXELLA - Rollback.zip (XXELLA is what base band im on)

Pretty simple questions i guess and I'm sorry to all if these have been answered before I did search but didnt find anything that gave me confidence to not ask ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

yes, simple questions, and you get simple answers :)

1. Correct. You can delete the config folder on your sd card. It is not needed for the Boeffla-Tweaks app to work.

2. Correct. Just do not touch any settings in the Boeffla-Tweaks app (or set them to the default options for all Boeffla-Sound options). And configure all sound related stuff only in the Boeffla-Sound app.

3. Correct again. Flash the rollback for XXELLA from my homepage in CWM recovery and you are back.

It is not a hard requirement, but better as the old camera libs can cause side effects (e.g. in video mode go to landscape automatically etc.)

Enjoy and hope everything goes well.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gsw5700:
Looking good so far, sounds great, hdmi out works, took a couple of reboots before cores calmed down (on zzmoove) it was too willing to use 2 cores instead of 1 but I think this was down to the media process. Has lmk been altered as I seem to have more free memory (at the moment) camera/video ok. Nice and fast as ever. Looking like another winner :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] tsubus:
Quick questions:

1) is it possible to create the configuration file from the app? (Copying the options set in the app to the configuration file on the SD card)

2) does the app take precedence over the configuration file or vice versa? (in case both are present)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi tsubus,

to 1) No, this is not possible. App and config file are independent, and depending on your technical expertise you should decide to either use config file (expert users) or app (normal users).

to 2) yes, if you change settings in both file and app, the app settings take precedence.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EasyWorld:
Vote for getting the GPU undervolting back. Having a choice is always better than not having one. Those who don't want GPU undervolting can easily disable it in the kernel settings. I DO want it, so I'd like to have it. And I personally can see no reason why it should not be one of the kernel features. What harm can it possibly do?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I removed it because it made the first version of the kernel unstable. Would need to rework the implementation to get it working again.

Thats why I removed it "temporarily". And now waiting how many people want to have it back. So far, you are the first and only one. But I will wait for some more time.

I doubt that.

Another user that had the same problem also went back to beta4 and the problem persisted.

I am still convinced it is not kernel related but another app, framework, whatever.

If it were a consistent issue, everyone should have it. But it is not.

Even if you release an alpha, beta, or stable all of them are solid and rock stable. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Of course. I included it also in the alpha version for 4.3.

However, I always use zzmoove anyways.

To all with the language-issue:

Although this does still not make sense at all, I re-compiled 4.0 stable again (on same source than beta4). Just did a slight change to make the initramfs a bit smaller as it got into the critical area already, size-wise.

I can only suspect a compiler derp during the build process.

So, please

REDOWNLOAD

stable 4.0 (or use load&flash -> stable), flash it and try again.

If this still does not help, I have to give up :)
