@ AndIP hello you want to add scripts to the kernel on the screen?

know, this is not necessary, it is different and not kernel

about red exclamation at uper-left corner..

i forgot to ask about this, mainly because not notice at first...

after flashing boeffla kernel (this is my first custom kernel for sgs3) i notice this @#$%$@#$ red exclamation...

read a bit and now i know that this is because of new JB bootloader (samsung claims that new bootloader fix "sudden death" too, but looks like this new bootloader added few new security measures too)

what is solution... i not want to revert to old ICS bootloader at all... maybe someone cracked latest jb bootloader and removed extra security measures???
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
There's no new bootloader in the kernel! You flashed it separately! And bootloader doesn't have any "sudden death" fix - it's in kernel.

BTW, I use old ICS bootloader and pretty happy with it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xw0lf:
i know that bootloader is separated from kernel.. in boot chain.. kernel goes after bootloader... and after i flash new kernel, new JB bootloader detect this and put red "!"

i just ask about this bootloader... what is solutions

but looks like, for now, nothing better is designed/developred than old ICS bootloader :)

some ppl wrote in the past that new bootloader is part of new "sudden death" fix too.. not only kernel.... i'm not expert to know who speak lies and who speaks truths :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
The fix is in kernel. You'd also have updated recovery, because it has it's own kernel too.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xw0lf:
so... bootloader is not crackable at all.. or not enough popular task for hackers...

i plane to flash new (custom) rom too, and then custom kernel too..... i can live with red "!" at corner if this is only visible "sign" of these security measures....

i find CWM file with old ICS bootloader here.. but think a bit more before flash :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maatsby:
The "!" is because you flashed something with Odin e.g. a recovery or a kernel, so now your binary counter has gone up. Have a look for Chainfire's thread "Triangle Away" to get rid of it, but read that thread very carefully because it's a risky business
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xw0lf:
i never use odin... my rooting history is next:

last OTA update is from 10.decembar 2012...

1) after new year, i apply one of exploits to gain root access (in form of *.apk file)....

2) then i install supersu & bussybox

3) then i start using some "root required apps"...

4) then i instal "rom manager" from google play and install latest CWM for sgs3

5) using CWM i install hacked/custom stock camera from note2 (all work perfectly)

5) using CWM too i install boeffla kernel few days ago (this is my first custom kernel)

after that, i got red "!" at corner :)

next task is to, using CWM, install neat rom 4.2 + boeffla kernel after (maybe siyah kernel first, just to try it...).... if any kernel developer for sgs3 find way to hack mhl/hdmi @ sgs3 to get 720p hdmi out to all devices, i will try that kernel....

that's whole story :)

You're potentially using an unsafe recovery. Flash Philz or TWRP.

Sent from I9300 - UltimaROM
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xw0lf:
unsafe recovery.. this is for me... what's wrong with CWM... if i understand corectly... CWM is integrated in boeffla kernel and when i flash kernel, CWM from rom manager is overwrited by CWM from kernel... it's 6.0.3.1

you suggest me twrp? or what? phone working... only new thing is red "!"
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RoWeKo:
Deleted - wrong thread. Sorry!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maatsby:
I don't think the kernel has a recovery in it, you can use whatever recovery you want, just have a read around which one is best.

Weird bug, but where did u get this mysterious beta 4? Private testing? ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sherlock5545:
Boeffla doesn't come with a recovery. You said you flashed CWM through ROM Manager, however there's no way to tell how that recovery was compiled and whether it has the SDS fix. Use TWRP or Philz Recovery, to be safe.

did you notice names like "boeffla-kernel-2.12-beta3.CWM.zip " and CWM tag? it's not mark that kernel INCLUDE CWM? or i misunderstand something??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rezapatel:
That means you need to install using CWM and the rar file needs to be installed using Odin (Mobile or Desktop).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bl4ckdr4gon:
AFAIK Swype used to have problems with occasional capitalization of some words, happens also with SwiftKey which is what I'm using now.

Basing on your queries, it won't hurt to Google around and read some more, looks like you missed on some things to keep on check.

And don't worry, just update to latest recovery (I use PhilZ') to stay "safe" from the SDS thingy. You'll be fine with latest Boeffla.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maatsby:
CWM or any other kind of recovery
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
It is a collection / tar.md5 / a following in Odin PDA, better through cwm/zip.file/..

red exclamation mark, cancel apk.triangle away from Chainfire / reset your phone!! /.

cwm recommend from Philz touch
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi all,

just to refine some statements from above:

In the S3 world, it is not common to deliver a recovery together with the kernel. In S3, both partitions are separate so kernels usually come as kernels only. Which makes it much more convenient to select favourite kernel and recovery separately.

The cwm in one version of boeffla kernel only means (as stated already), it HAS TO be flashed via a custom cwm recovery (philz etc.), and not via odin. In no case a CWM is bundled into it.

Bootloader: Those are also separate from kernel or recovery and usually come with new roms.

The red exclamation mark comes from a newer bootloader that checks a couple of things during boot (e.g. if you installed a custom kernel or custom recovery or are rooted etc...). If something non-standard is found, the exclamation mark is shown. But thats basically all (apart from the fact you can reset the flash counter with triangle away but it will go up again during next boot).

However, you are only partially assumed to be right regarding bootloader and the SDS. It is right, the remidiation for the SDS is in the kernel (and recovery kernels). However, in theory SDS can also occur while being in download mode (during an odin flash). So this is why I would recommend to flash newer bootloaders to potentially be on the safe side here as well. Just ignore the exclamation mark.

Although it is unproven later boot loader fix the the sds due to missing source codes.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZaneZam:
yeah it's version 0.3 without that features. andi had to drop version 0.4 because of not yet exactly known problems in combination

with zram. both will come back as andi said zram in beta4 and zzmoove 0.5 in beta(soon) :) so yes you added settings which

are not available in this kernel version. ;)

as far as my information is up-to-date its NOT possible to hack these new bootloaders, and if u want to get rid of the mark just use

for example this method here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2081748 to downgrade to some older bootloader.

i'm using XXALE8 bootloader for some time now and have no problems and no mark and even system status is always "original" with boeffla kernel :good: looks like pure stock :) no need to use triangle away any more, at least when u always flash with mobile odin. i did'nt flash with pc odin for quite a long time so can not say if that would change anything.

yeah as andi mentioned its's unproven if that SDS is fixed in these new bootloaders. but if you do not have an "insane chip" (check with "emmc check" from playstore) then i think u do not have to care about and can use older bootloaders without fear.

2.12-beta4

Good evening,

after a very very long internal testing phase, I can now release the latest version of Boeffla Kernel which has zRam in again:

2.12-beta4

Change Log (vs last stable 2.11)

All functionalities of last stable kernel 2.11

zRam support (configurable e.g. in Boeffla-Tweaks app, do not forget to restart after configuring)

Linux kernel "upstreamed" from Samsung original version 3.0.31 to latest release 3.0.80 from 25.05.2013 (www.kernel.org)

Additional charging rates for USB and AC charger

As always - download from homepage or via Load&Flash.

I hope this version runs stable and smooth now. I will be on a holiday trip to Vienna from Saturday to Thursday.

So, if you encounter any issues during that time, I can only recommend to report and flash back to beta3 in worst case. But I am confident this is not required.

Cheers

Hi guys, I started using Boeffla since 2 months ago and I am loving it. However, probably by my lack of deeply understanding of some kernel functions, I am experiencing heavy battery drain (12%/h to 18%/h) when I enable android logger (I need that for using Light Manager app). Per my log o bbs, it is the system that is consuming a lot of memory. Also a process called mmcqd is consuming a lot of power. It seems something is preventing the system from deep sleeping. Despite my battery drain, the phone performance is very poor. It freezes a lot. Now I am with android logger disabled and it is running way better. I use zzmove governor, - 25mv and 1500mhz oc. Dows anyone have any clues?

Thanks.

Hello hello!

This might be a bit of an unfair question to ask, but how do you guys determine if your devices are running "smooth"?

I find it difficult to determine to what degree the UI responds / operates smoothly..

It just seems to me that I experience little micro lags randomly.. and the usual touch wizz lags.

"Power save" mode on/off makes no difference for me at all.

I use the phone, sms, whatsapp, music, browsing & tapatalk mostly. No games!

Maybe my expectation of the S3 is too high, but my S2 on stock 4.1.2 (with stock kernel) feels drastically smoother and more responsive!?

I have stock 4.1.2 (MC3 - will try MD3 later today) with less than 60 apps (including stock apps), with v2.11 of this kernel. All kernel settings default.

I dont think the kernel is the problem at all, but maybe there is something else you guys know off that I can tweak to determine how responsive the device actually can be? It is after all a very powerful device..

Thanx a lot, and also thanx to you AndiP - for the countless hours you dedicate to the development of this project!!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] GzC:
I use 600mb zram too. I have noticed some lag since I enabled zram, instead of freezing. Maybe it still doesn't work well with combination of zzmoove governor? Or it was just my phone problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Guys, are you sure you all need zRam at all?

I mean, it is not worth just enabling it "because it is there" now :)

If you do not use many apps actively at the same time, i.e. if you do not need strong multitasking, then you should not even activate it, because it will not be used really.

Just a comment, I personally do not need it, just was testing it for 2 weeks now.

And it should not create big lags in that implementation, just minor micro-lags could be there.

But, you never know.

For me it is running fine without lags. But seems every S3 is behaving differently (mainly due to the usage pattern of the owner).

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] InevitableDJ:
And could possibly be because of different roms as well

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, exactly.

I personally am not interested in the S4 due to many reasons I have explained multiple times in the thread. So I will not buy one myself.

If it gets sponsored however, it is different. However, please bear in mind again, the European variant has a sound chip built in that cannot be supplied by boeffla sound. So this feature would not be possible with this model.
