[Galaxy S III Android Development] tchen100:
How is the battery life compared to stock 4.3?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SaschaKH:
I would say maybe 5% better, than a diverent governor, maybe a little UV ... all together more than 10% more. BTW when your looking for longer battery live don't OC and maybe don't use zRAM.

Oh and when Andi calls it beta 3 it might be already more stable then when Samsung calls it stable.

Hi all,

I bought a new original Samsung battery 2100 mAh and I would like to know if there is a way how to reset battery charging chip, because when my battery is fully charged and I disconnect the phone from the charger the battery percentage drops immediately to 98%. On my old S2 there were a possibility to reset battery charging chip and it will calibrate itself on next charge. Or S3 doesn't have such on possibility? Not sure if this could be a kernel related, so that the reason why I ask?

Thanks

What are the bugs on the 4.4 kernel that still needs to be fixed before it could be stable?

Hi, please can someone tell me how to install boeffla kernel for the first time? Sorry for the noob question but I haven't found any information both in boeffla kernel's site and in this thread. Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] elitetoniv:
download the cwm.zip file from boeffla website.

place the zip file in ur phone memory.

use custom recovery to flash the kernel.

that's all. make sure u download the correct version.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Occasus:
Hi.

I presume that you are running on a custom ROM that is based on 4.3 and that you've got a custom recovery. If so, download the following:

http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/sgs3/boeffla-kernel/Series%205.x%20%28JB%204.3.x%29/5.2/

Take the last one (zip) and place it in your internal sd-card, flash it via your recovery then as you would do it with a ROM. Reboot. Done.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lorenzo_9:
Ok thank you very much, so I don't need to do any wipe or to flash a cleaner script am I right?

I'm on stock rom with stock kernel, of course I have root and twrp recovery.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Agaranda:
You are right

My profile for kernel is using Mobile for calls only so i choose cpu voltage undervolt heavy and gpu undervolt heavy.. Is it ok

Other questions what about cpu frequency can i make it under 1000 mhz
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
I recommend first flash through odin / tar. file /

is of course also in cwm

After installing Boeffla config v2, you will be able to update the kernel

In this application,

no wipe is not needed if you have a stock kernel

it depends on how your phone is running and if it is stable with these settings

Personally, I do not recommend UNDERVOLT

u had me running beautifully smoothly and without this
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
I had my phone undervolted for 5 months with AOSP and that half-bricked my device...

Choppy camera,GPU performance drops.

Hoping for new motherboard.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] boyheadkick:
how does undervolting brick a device?you just made me curious
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Choristav:
Most likely overclocking did it, or wear and tear/temperature.

[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] were donation keys supposed to arrive by mail? I didn't get mine yet, just wondering if it was already due.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] khalid0099:
So there is no risk to keep it heavy undervoltage
[Galaxy S III Android Development] boyheadkick:
as [MENTION=5027069]Choristav[/MENTION] said, overclocking is usually the one that risks the device because you're stressing the cpu...which is why i was curious as to how undervolting can be damaging..i'm not being sarcastic in any way, i'm just really curious..of course there are adverse effects caused by undervolting as well...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Android -_- hacking:
Im interested in this as well ...so..., undervolting in the long run can actually damage your phone ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nkirk:
Too much undetvolting will cause data corruption with time. CPU will appear stable and cooler with an improper undervolt but it will do incorrect calculations causing slow death. A solution for such cases would be to perform a megawipe and reinstall stock firmware once and then switch as desired. And stick to closer to stock voltages ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
Nope,I never liked overclocking,I only had it undervolted by -50. Sure that thing was always warm with AOSP,but it was smooth and I had no problems. After 5 months,as soon as I moved to official 4.3,issues started and never got fixed since.

---------- Post added at 06:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 AM ----------

Tried it and didn't help.. Camera is still choppy ,video playback is also choppy and games are more laggy now. I remember how smooth most wanted was. =(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bigr1979:
My phone has been undervolted my -100mv for at least the last year and a half and it's perfect. On the other hand my friend has a stock S3 that hasn't been rooted, he has had nothing but trouble with it, luck of the draw i guess.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
I'm still in hopes that my problem is fixable,but I already tried megewipe and stock 4.3 with odin. That never fixed my issue.

Sucks that everything worked well and now my phone works good only when it comes to texting and calling,just like old phones.

If someone knows any workaround,please,tell me. I will thank as much as it will be possible.

EDIT: Btw,anyone here using the phone overclocked? Archi's and yank's default presets are always coming with OC to 1.6,so I wanna be sure if it is safe to stay with it?

EDIT2: Also,I noticed that front camera is smooth as it should be and doesn't have any lag spikes. First camera hw broken?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Sorry guys for being more or less offline in the past days.

There is a lot of things going on with a German forum and some devs (like me) are trying to secure our work, thinking and spirit.

So this required and will require much more discussions over the next time.

But there are things, nobody has to accept. Especially not Devs kicked by Mods like there.

zRam is not working and therefore disabled.

There are reports about graphical glitches, however I was not yet able to find them on my s3 so far.

If you purchased the donation app, then you will receive an update to the donation app soon which will create your personal code for you.

If you donated separately, I will send this out myself (well, my robot, not me personally).

No, it will not damange the hardware. However it can damage the consistency of your file system and you could lose data.

Sorry, I might have missed it. What exactly are your issues?

Thanks

[Galaxy S III Android Development] aliw32619:
Andi I'm getting graphical glitches when playing Clash Of Clans , maybe try it on your phone
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
Well,issues aren't really related to your kernel,that's firstly.

My issues are mostly about the camera and video playback. The thing is,I was rocking AOSP for 5 months with -50 undervolt. Then I decided to move back to TW as I missed the camera really much,so I did,and then all issues started. First of all,it was slow,and that got fixed after reflashing aosp and tw many times,finally. Then I found the camera to be choppy/jerky while recording,and then not only when recording and recorded videos from cam were also laggy and choppy. Then I realized that another issue is with media playback via internet (ex.: youtube app,browser). It plays smooth,but video stops for 1 sec while audio continues.

It's fine in player,though,and this happens only with 4.3 firmwares.

Camera isn't smooth anymore,it's jerky but sometimes not laggy,just jerky and that's better than some spikes which are happening from time to time.

Now another thing that is bugging me is gaming performance. Now gaming performance is good as it should be on 4.3,but on AOSP,none of the games run well. Not to mention that fruit ninja lags hellish. Before,it was fine,and even better than on 4.3 with AOSP. That RR3 was so smooth,not a SINGLE lag spike while playing that racing game,and now it's kinda smooth,eh,on 4.3,but not as good as it was on AOSP and now on AOSP it's just that laggy that it feels like my phone will explode if I won't turn the game off. This everything started after I moved to 4.3.

Regarding the camera on aosp. Strange thing is,camera while recording is buttery SMOOTH when moving compared to 4.3,but it has that lag spikes happening always,before it was only smooth.

Also,laggy recorded video is smooth on computer,so that's sure to be something with my phone (from 4.3,not AOSP). I'm lost =(

EDIT: Overclocking helps a little in smoothing out video recording

Video mostly lags with auto-focus. When I choose to focus manually,it stays jerky but less to no lag spikes. That feels better.

[MENTION=5434518]AssassinGEO[/MENTION] : backup your data to the extSDcard, and then remove your extSDcard, backup its content on your PC as you will need to format it, and flash latest official ROM for your phone model via Odin by downloading stock ROM file from SamMobile. It will erase all of your data

Boot your phone with stock ROM and let-it settle (no need to configure your accounts and install your apps). Then use Odin again to flash recovery and kernel.

Then you may test your phone like this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:

But please forgive my ignorance - I never played a game on my s3, and I will likely never will. This is an area I have really no interest in. Sorry.

I don't have an extSDcard.. Though I can back it up on PC easily.

I already tried that,camera was still jerky,but I haven't let it settle down,just a little.

I'm already tired after so many tests. My phone gets restarted 30 times everyday just because of my tests.

i think I will do it later. Thanks for giving me an idea.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nkirk:
From your post for me it sounds like a borked GPU. Is the lag there on stock kernels? Afik all custom kernels oc GPU to 533mhz. Try under clocking your GPU a little without touching voltage and also try +50 mv on all steps for a short term and see whether it improves the situation. It could be due to electromigration due to the chip being exposed to too high voltage for a long time. So a little higher voltage might help at lower frequencies if the chip is dying.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
I also thought that,but now I think it's more about the CPU. It works well but it drops performance in moments and that makes lag. I already tried turning DVFS off and it always stays on max no matter which temperature but still lags happen. It's smooth but drops for a sec and that makes video recording as well as games lag in moments,even with sound,too. On AOSP there is no lag when watching videos,recording is smooth but just with spikes. That's because AOSP isn't that heavy and is light,while touchwiz is heavy and CPU can't handle that anymore.

Also,after being on lower voltage for long time,my maximum safe temp. on touchwiz ROMs is now 42c,before it was 72c. Guess voltages really did a great job in damaging the motherboard.

Btw,thanks for the tips. Will try now. Also gonna try installing stock 4.3 firmware again and letting it settle down. If it won't help,I will move to AOSP and use the phone only for texting and calls,just with some speeds,even though animations feel smoother on touchwiz,lol.

Btw,can I repair the device on this stage?

EDIT: Didn't help.

EDIT2: Another note,first time when I installed 4.3 back,it was slow in UI (slower than before),but camera was pretty smooth,just remembered. I only had problems with games because of safe temp. on touchwiz. After finding out DFVS and turning it off,all of problems started. Gotta recheck.

Alright,I just found the problem. Disabling DVFS no longer works! CPU drops to 800mhz no matter if I have it on or off. And it seems like the same is affecting the AOSP,as never before,and this is the main problem. Gotta find out what's causing this and how to fix this. Some help would be appreciated,thanks guys!

EDIT: Okay,downclocked to 1400mhz and it's gone now. Doesn't drop to 800mhz anymore,seems I was wrong. But lag spikes are still there.

It's about other. Sucks =c

I don't play much games and so I had nearly all in the AnTuTu benchmark and 2 or 3 just on the desktop but none was reproduceable. All in all like 10 times in 12 days of use, i.e. not to mention.

But that can happen too when your phone crashes or has a random reboot, i.e. not especially dangerous? At least not when you have a backup anyway.

I have installed Boeffla kernel over stock. I didn't install the config app. Does this kernel install with 'stock settings profile' or 'Boeffla recommend settings profile'? I have no intention of UV or over clock etc
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 99x:
Config app must be installed separately, get it from the official site: http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/bc/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Without the app installed, the kernel uses Boeffla defaults.

This means, it is pretty much stock apart from:

- AC charge rate is increased to 1100 mA (stock is 1000)

- read ahead buffers are increased to 256 kB (stock is 128)

- ext4 tweaks are enabled to save battery

Rest is completely stock.

Any idea why is my S3 sometimes freezing/lagging? I mean,it was like that,then it got fixed. Then,after flashing back stock ROM with odin and still having that camera problem,I went back to my custom ROM with boeffla and now I have again that stuttering issues. I mean,like I'm using the phone and it stutters for a moment and makes screen unresponsive mostly. Why is this happening randomly? Bad chip?

I've had the same issues. I've installed another 4.3 rom.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
I've had the problem,apparently,with all custom kernels,especially with zzmove governor,which makes transmitions smooth,but the whole device laggy every 2 mins.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
format your phone, make it as empty as possible and then install this app from the playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.nomunomu.dummy

run it as many times as u can. atleast 10 runs or more. each run leave the device alone until it finishes alone without interfering. it may freeze, lag etc but do not touch the device at all, when the run is finished, delete the dummy file and then repeat the process.

Guys,I found the cause for jerky media playback,I was right,it's all about zzmove governor. Everything is smooth with pegasus,but animations are smoothest on zzmove. Any help? =(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
What zzmoove profile are you using?

Ever tried to change between standard, moderate, performance etc.?

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
Tried,they all give stuttery performance,I swear,on all ROMs (no matter AOSP or TW). On some kernels,moderate one is laggy (animations) but optimized is smooth just like moderate in yours which I use. But in overall,zzmove always makes stutter. Even with zzmove insane I have stutters in games,but with nearly all others all is fine. Even rotation animations is stuttery with zzmove governors. =( Also,camera has just up to no spikes (if only once a day (still camera thing,though)) with other governors,especially pegasus and lulzactiveq.

Mostly spikes are happening when not touching the screen for some seconds. Example: I'm in app,and waiting for sms,so I'm just looking at the screen without touching it. Then sms comes,I press on the dialog to open it and there's stutter comes with big slowdown,then everything is back to normal. This is the main reason for spiky videos,it's because I don't touch the screen and guess CPU is scaling down by wrong way thus making lag.

Maybe configuring some settings in zzmove will help?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
apparently the problem KK.rom

For me, the 4.3 stock, absolutely stable with moderate use Zzmoove ...

Today Boeffla try to KK rom, but to me Archi port v5 ran beautifully
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
Issue has been solved with Intelliactive governor. It's acting the same as interactive on AOSP ROMs,that means much faster than zzmove,smoother and no media playback lag. Ideal.

Also,seems like this governor runs smooth only on boeffla kernel. I'm loving this kernel and my phone now.

EDIT: Yeah,I know,you all got tired of my problems,but I wanna still know what's that weird issue? Firstly,recorded videos were laggy on my phone and smooth as they should be on computer (no lags at all). Now,spikes issue was 95% fixed in my phone and everything is smooth again (seems like phone just needed to settle down (freaking 2 months of waiting!)),but now it lags HELLISH on computer. I mean,it just lags. Every 2 seconds video hangs. And that's happening only on computer now.

Weird,eh?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
Yes, it's weird, but

for each setting is very different, depending on the application and system load
