2.11-beta3

Good morning,

here we go for a new beta version:

2.11-beta3

Change Log (vs 2.9 stable version):

Completely built from scratch based on latest Samsung source code update 10

zRam implemented (please note to reboot your device after changing any zRam option in order to take effect) - Tx to Yank

zzmoove 0.4 governor - Tx to ZaneZam

Xbox controller support (standard is off, you have to enable in tweaks app or config file)

Wifi mac address changeable (only for specialists, if you want to know how to do please let me know)

New implementation for LED control like fading, blinking, brightness, speed - Tx to Yank

New implementation of android logger control (no reboot required anymore after activation/deactivation)

System Tweaks disabled per default

Dynamic sync control bug fixes incorporated

SD Card Tweaks (=read ahead buffer) can now be configured in several steps within boeffla-tweaks app (in config file you can freely configure the value within given range)

Fix permissions script can be executed in boeffla-tweaks app now

Boeffla-RamFS complete overhaul and optimisation

Battery monitor wakelocks reduced (maybe improving battery life a bit)

Ramdisk of EMC3 firmware

Compiled with stock ARM 4.7 toolchain

Download as always via the kernel home page or by pressing load&flash in boeffla-tweaks app.

Happy Testing!!!

Cheers

Downloading b3. Will give feedback soon! :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lou2s:
B3 is running fast and smooth. Can't really notice any lag! Thanks a lot!

Edit:

Although I did experienced some random reboots after I changed the governor to zzoptimised FS. With non FS I can stablely undervolt the cpu by -100mv, now with FS I can only undervolt 50mv (even -75mv will cause reboot). Is it my phone which is getting less tolerable or FS requires higher voltage?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi, regarding FS, I leave the answer up to the zzmoove developer. I doubt FS needs less undervolting, but there might be some side effects that afford it, yes.

[MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION]: All yours! Any view?

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PearLRoX:
Just installed beta3, thx!!

But i still don't get this.. System tweaks or Boeffla tweaks.. Witch one you guys prefer because i cant notice the effect of it.. (i try it on and off for few days)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Just leave system tweaks switched off.

It was important in the past, many months ago, to get a fluid user experience.

But meanwhile everything also runs fine with system tweaks set to off.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PearLRoX:
Ok, thanks for the fast answer! :good: ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZaneZam:
unfortunately not yet andi :( i never undervolt so i have to test this before i can say anything. however can't imagine that fast scaling

influences that much but who knows. will check that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] donteo:
AndiP you choose stock ARM 4.7 toolchain over linaro for built 3 ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes I did. I had the impression (and many users as well), Linaro toolchain (at least the April and March versions) gave some weird results sometimes.

Had users which complained about lags and even WIFI not working 100% stable. And after sending them a test kernel built on 4.7 ARM tool chain they confirmed the issues were gone.

I will keep monitoring that though.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] donteo:
Yes i confirm wifi was not working 100% correct in version 2 !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GzC:
Any impacts with zram enable? worst battery life? maybe?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
GzC: Nothing such expected, no.

Also from personal experience, this is not the case.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GzC:
Thank you for the answer. Could you share any idea on how to manage our RAM usage? Or you just leave it stock settings? I got pretty high RAM usage( 600MB RAM usage on phone booted, seems bad to me). :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
GzC: This is very normal. Android uses as much memory as it can.

So if you have many apps starting during boot, Android will load them and unless memory gets low they will stay in memory.

But for you, it might in the end make sense to enable zRam to 400 or 600.

Just give it a try.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lkirra:
Very great, beta3 is really smooth!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] enigma1981:
only downside to zram that I found was that if you are using JKay framework and you force "max running apps" to 50 then with zram enabled, it gets really sluggish and laggy quite quickly whereas with zram off, there's no problem :)

Maybe all those experiencing lag could check if they have this setting enabled and then disable it.. see if that helps :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] gsw5700:
Not sure I understand this... If you set max processes to 50 shouldn't that be easier for Android to manage (as not enabling it could in theory mean > 50 processes are enabled)

Does this mean jkay max processes=50 isn't playing nicely with zRam?

Hmmmmm

Sent via TCP/IP
[Galaxy S III Android Development] enigma1981:
either way round, it's probably the JKay option not playing with the zram, as he's developed it for stock ROMs as well as custom...

either way, it causes issues lol

Thank you. Which governor should i use? - default or lulz? - What´s better?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
They are different. There is nothing like better or worse here.

Best is you give both a try for a day each, then decide the one you like more.

I stick with Pegasusq (=default) typically.

Just discovered perfmon from Chainfire (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.perfmon&hl=cs) and playing little bit with that....is it normal that CPU3 never goes off together with CPU1 when screen is ON ? Could be also perfmon problem, anyway I find it interesting.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

never investigated on that. Just in System Tuner I never saw it like this.

Best is to flash stock kernel for some minutes and double check how the behaviour is there.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] shaarky:
Hi Andi,I just tested Siyah kernel in default config and it's turning off the all the remaining cores without problem.I will test it for few days now to see if that have any battery impact (it probably does).Btw on your kernel I tested both Governors, but it was behaving very similarly. Sorry I don't have stock kernel to test...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Honestly I do not trust this tool somehow. But even if other kernels behave different, I want Boeffla-Kernel to stay close to stock and behave like stock.

So when there is a difference between Boeffla and stock, I will of course look at it.

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yank555:
Just a hint, there's a small issue with System Tuner, that Cedric has already addressed after I pointed it out to him a few days ago, just not sure he pushed it to the Play Store yet. I've tested his fix and I can confirm it works.

The issue was, that he assumed cores to be offlined in reverse numeric order, 3, then 2, then 1. So if 1 was offline, System Tuner wrongfully showed 1,2,3 offline, even when that was not the case.

JP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Thanks, useful information.

Which tool is recommended to test this then, any hints?

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yank555:
I found out by beta testing faux123's Kernel Enhancement project on my S3 for him.

At worst, confirming by sysfs interface (/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online) :confused: :(

Edit -----------

Just checked, it's fine on current Play Store version, it's last been updated on Nov-23rd, and Cedric sent me the working test apk on Nov-10.

I crosscheckes by forcing cpu1 offline, and it was displayed just fine.

So be sure to update System Tuner and you're good ;)

JP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ok. Thanks.

Just checked and compared cpu usage / offline behaviour between Boeffla kernel and stock kernel. It is the same behaviour.

So, seems okay for me (objective close to stock)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ring_GT:
Hi Andi. Will u develop a kernel for galaxy note 2 int version in the future? will be getting a note2 today and i dont think i can live without your sound enhancement kernel. :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] evrest:
+ 1 for that...:highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Guys,

honestly, unlike others, I do not have plans to develop for a device I do not own and as such I can not test anything.

This is for me developing in the blind, and not according to my personal quality standards.

So, I would as of today say: Rather no, sorry.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ginzo:
Dear Andi, yesterday I wrote your config and it's ok, but I found that in energy saver mode, tonight in block mode (not flight mode) I had a 6% if battery drain.

The night before with same settings but without energy saver mode I lost a 1% only.

Could you please check it?

For the other, I really appreciate this kernel :thumbup: :rolleyes:

Have a good day !!

EDIT: I forgot to tell you that I have installed Primo launcher, probably the battery drain is caused by the launcher...!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hm, always very hard to nail down the root cause if more than one thing have changed.

So I would advice to keep a close look on it.

Personally I lost 3% in flight mode last night, which is kinda normal for my phone.

But note taken, just in case someone else reports battery drain.

You can also install betterbatterystats app to see what keeps your phone sometimes awake during the night.

Cheers

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ginzo:
I will install betterbatterystats to take a look and see what keeps my phone awake during the night, but I will also take a look to check why my battery phone has less battery drain without energy saver mode :D

cheers, we'll keep in contact, I really like you kernel and the customization of it :) and your kernel with Frankenstein Rom is working very good. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Thanks, and keep me posted with your results please.

Today in a few hours, 2.2-beta1 will come out. Then I will disappear until Thursday evening for a business trip to UK.

Good day. Is zram recommended for heavy gamers?

Im using Sotmax rom since 2.9 , 2.10 , 2.19b2 and heres my config on boeffla tweaks app

Governor: pegasus boeffla (battery saving)

Scheduler: row/sio

Cpu max freq.: 1000

Cpu undervolt: -100

Gpu feq : 160/266

Gpu undervolt: -75

Sharpness fix: on

Touchboost , system, ext4, sdcard tweaks: off

Usage: internet surfing from time to time using stock browser and 2 opera mini and playstore. Playing from time to time like candy crush, hello cappucino, badminton 3d, 4pics1word, pocket world games like that. Im using also 3g when im outside if i have to browse something.Will play for like 10mins den i killed it with back button coz im usibg jkay. Watever app im using im always killing it using the back button of jkay. Battery always last more than 24hrs up to 2days like 52hrs.

9hrs idle decreases bat by 1% but when i use i can see bat drops faster compared to other governor im using when using 2.11.

Using 2.21 b1,

Governor: zzmoove - optimized (ive tried the zzmoove battery fs first like 3times but it gets my phone hotter because my phone is not going to deep sleep)

And with same settings.

4-5 hrs idle decrease by 1%. But when im using bat drops a little slower.

Using b2 since 2 or 3 days ago with same settings today ive experienced intense lag playing badminton 3d and my phone soft rebooted for the first time and also when im tying this i left for aminute and the screen is off when i use the home button to wake the phone i see a blue screen flicker i lock the phone again but its normal again.

Battery always last more than 24 hrs but not nire than 2days i havent maxed it out yet and charge it when its 20-30%

Well anyway thanks for reading. I hope you can suggest something.

Im very well contented with my phone lasting for 2 days and im not hoping for it to last 5days. Hehe its just i always want the latest one and experience something new.

Thanks also Andi you are a superb developer.. ive been using and been reading on this thread since version 2.4.. hehe

Ello , a greeting here

I install all betas etc, this kernel work very nice without problems as usual, is for this that i only read and no write. In my test etc all god.

BUT today...

After install beta 3 and one hour later searching in google for images..the pone shutdown completelly power off...not power on with the botton, only remove battery and again power on then ok................the kernel?? no idea.

When enable the USB mode in memory card....sometimes....when you move o copy data.....the drive dissappear completelly from the pc..like a removal of the cable......you need to restart the phone ( not windows ) for recognize again the phone/ memorycard..this appens in older betas too. I thing this is cause of kernel, bug fix etc...maybe.

I ave all stock congig, 1600 cpu, -50 undervolting cpu, gpu 600 not undervolthing like other betas...tweaks enables..zram enable at maximun hehehe...BOELLFA SOUND OFCOURRRRRRRRRRSE ENABLED. maximun volume for ead phones..no much more.

Thanks!!!!!!

A greeting again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DocMarc73:
Use stock frequencies of cpu and gpu and dont undervolt! After that, test if the problems still persist.

To all experts

Hi all,

if you are experiencing any issues (which you can replicate) with beta3 of the kernel, please try one of the following test kernels:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dtkau3f6p84tod0/awoqbwoh43

There are 4 test kernels here... beta3t0 to beta3t3 (in both odin and cwm format).

Can you please then install first beta3t0 and check if all is ok then.

If yes, go on and install beta3t1 and check if all is ok then.

Then beta3t2... and beta3t3..

Please let me know afterwards which ones worked for you and which ones not.

The kernels are all the same, just with different compiler options/toolchains etc.

Thanks!

Otherwise we will never find out what exactly is causing your freezes.

Please also note, for a problem report I always need the following bare minimum information:

- exact kernel version

- governor / scheduler

- zram used?

- undervolting / overclocking?

Otherwise I have no chance to investigate anything...

Yes, you may ask. But for the time being I will not tell as I want to have people really following the sequence instead of picking their preferred version.
