Guys, I do not want to sound rude at all, but just some statements for clarification:

- I never do gaming on my phone, that is why the kernel objective was always to provide a good and solid kernel for daily usage (which it is)

- This saying, I will not put any time and effort in searching about the crashes in the games you mentioned, as I will never use these games. However, I am more than open to react when you come up with some patterns/assumptions/investigation results... I am happy to help then.

Easy answer: Because I do not have a Nexus 7, and I only develop for devices I own (my golden rule).

But to help: You get me a Nexus 7 somehow (maybe more people are interested and can put some money together), then I would be able to work on it.

This comment is already more than enough. Nice and honest comments are always appreciated and welcome.

Thanks buddy.

Just to provide some info to all interested:

With the help of Donteo we found out, there are two zipalign scripts placed into the init.d folder by this rom.

Whether they conflict in a way with each other or with the kernel is still to be investigated.

However, after removing these two scripts the issue was gone away.

So everyone facing it - just remove these scripts (it is anyway a bad habit of roms to place a huge number of more or less senseless scripts into init.d, I always recommend to clean init.d up of them, this can even be done with a menu in boeffla-config app directly)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
LOL.

This is a known issue of the S3 since it existed, mainly due to the Exynos platform used.

It is the same with stock kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hwjrmrm:
i like bass, how to set in boeffla sound??;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Are you kidding me? :cyclops:

Boeffla-Config app, tab "Boeffla-Sound", enable boeffla sound first with the main switch and then either select a predefined equalizer profile, or set the equalizer yourself...

All in the boeffla-config online help as well !

@ Andi, I stopped to pair your phone with a PC?

Earlier in the order, which may be the problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Using UMS or MTP?

Both working fine, just tried it (basically I always use it during development...).

Or did you mean something else?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MBurns2:
Sorry guys, one clarification: some kernel with zram uses swappiness, swappines is the same as swap? ( i know that swap can cause damage to our internal sd card)

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Swap can damage the internal SD memory over the time, due to wear, yes.

Swappiness is just a kernel setting to define how agressively data should be swapped when the memory gets full.

Boeffla-Kernel with zRam is creating a swap device in memory of the CPU (not internal or external memory). So it is 100% safe and fast.

And this is also why I never recommended to create a swap file or partition on SD memory ever.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MBurns2:
As ever, thanks Andi.

So if a kernel use 500 mb of zram with 90% of swappiness is safe because swappines is different from swap.

I hope to understand it right. Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, 100 points!

As long as the swap device is not created on any sd memory, it is safe.

Boeffla only creates in Ram, so you will be always safe.

Whether you set swappiness to 90% of 100 or 10, it makes no difference.

BTW - Boeffla default setting for it is 70% when zRam is activated, and 60% if not (stock setting)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
Just a question regarding swaping?

Swap using zram, but can not itself set up your storage folder?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] luger77:
I cant seem to find this swappiness setting in the config settings, only zram settings under miscellaneous. Can someone point out where is the swappiness setting? :o

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
Not setting swapiness / self in config / but the point is that everything is safe by using zram?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Woah the processor has enough memory for zram? That's completely new. How does it happen? Where does it get stored? I thought processors only had like 2mb cache

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

Wow. So we gamers have practically no hope? The kernel itself is good for everything else, I'll admit that. But ouch.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Lets see. Maybe towards mid to end of this week?

I do not give ETA as it is all still pretty much in development.

Again, it is not using storage, it is using internal memory (not sd, but parts of the 1GB main memory)

Yes, this is automatically set to 70 if you enable zRam. Otherwise it is 60.

If you want to tune this, you would need to use the sysfs and a script.

As it is in main memory, it is 150% safe. It is NOT using internal SD ram, and NOT external SD ram.

As explained above: It uses parts of the main ram that it compresses, so you have virtually more ram than without. That is how zRam works.

Yes, I am not searching for gaming issues. I do not game myself, and do not want to, and the target for the kernel is and was never gaming.

If someone comes up with finding, fair enough, I will look at it. But I will not be actively searching for it. There are good other kernels around that might be better suitable for gaming.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kyle07:
OT

Some of these comments are ridiculous. Please read your post before actually posting it and see if it is indeed necessary. Sifting through all this rubbish to find actual information is getting tiresome. Leave the devs to work on their hobby and not answer the same questions over and over. Especially when the answers are easily found elsewhere on XDA.

Rant over.

I have to say I also experienced the freezes with beta6. At least 3 times and I was not gaming. I had it even while my phone was in stand by today: I was thinking "huh, did I turn it off?". It really looks like it's shut down. The phone only wakes up after long pressing the power button, then it boots up.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ahac85:
Ive just experienced one just now whilst browsing, screen turned off, seem like a fast boot, currently using beta7. Beta5 worked the best without any issues for me

Dear AndiP,

If you have time.... Just a bump for this question and to ask if there's any way to keep the EQ settings active in the old Boeffla Sound app. I have to toggle them off and on to make them work regularly. They seem to sleep using the Boeffla Sound app. I have set at boot options set in advanced.

I keep getting drawn back to stock TW by your kernel, but I cannot stand TW, so I break down and go back to CM after a few days.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pistoke:
What settings do you use? Governor etc.

Do you have stock rom? I don't know if your sign is up to date or not.

I have Omega rom and Zzmove optimal.

Still no new freeze since the post about my phone's freeze. Hopefully it's because of the new beta. (Except ahac85 had freeze with the newest, so maybe I'll have freeze later...)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] alerems:
No freezes at all with zzmoove-optimized and zram activated.

Hi there AndiP.

First, let me congratulate you - kernel is amazing. The config app is amazing, easy and lightweight and very easy to use. Battery seems quite good after 3 days, and all the rest of the features working pretty well.

I have a question - what do the config app uses the internet for?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi Egozy,

as explained also in the Google play store text:

Internet connection is used to allow

- load&flash kernel functionality

- get latest kernel version infos from internet during app startup (donation version only)

@ Andi thanks for the update boeffla config key:):):)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Alright. I'll download the latest beta and try it out again on power profile. With a 7000mAh battery, all i care about now is performance. I'll enable as many logs as i can to track down the freezing. Not being able to game on a phone like the s3 is like using a gaming console for web browsing. Nawt kewl.

Anything i should do or wipe before flashing?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
SuperAce609, no special things to be done. No wipe or cleaning required really.

You can just flash the latest beta (btw - I will bring beta8 soon today which will incorporate Samsung Update 11 source drop from yesterday), install the app from Google playstore, and test :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Oh then I'll wait for the new beta. I'll flash as soon as released

3.0-beta8

Hi all,

not planned, but neccessary due to Samsung Source code update from yesterday:

3.0-beta8

Change Log:

Updated to Samsung Source update 11 from 06.08.13

Upstream to Linux kernel 3.0.89 from 03.08.13 (www.kernel.org)

Changed internal kernel bootup sequence significantly to start a bit faster

Added lots of stuff to kernel to allow new functionalities in Boeffla-Config app

zRam compression algorithm changed from snappy compression to LZ4 (should be faster internally)

Change permissions on /sbin folder for better compatibility

Internal Kernel Busybox updated to version 1.21.1 again

Touch-to-Wake reworked to have higher compatibility with apps using the proximity sensor (credits to Yank555)

To configure the kernel, please use exlusively the new app "Boeffla-Config", available for free in Google playstore

The former Boeffla-Tweaks app is now history and will be automatically deinstalled (also not be supported anymore)

Early suspend time is now configurable (for crt-off animation support) between 0=off and 700 ms (default is 100 ms)

Using a unified Boeffla-ramfs

All functionalities of last stable version 2.13

As always: Easiest is load&flash in Boeffla-Config app, or you can also get it from the kernel homepage.

Hi , Andip

your 3.0 beta serial is Pegasusq Governor by default?

because I happen some Strange problem...

I uninstall Boeffla config app first and flash 3.0 beta8 kernel.

I check setcpu app and Pegasusq will change to ZZMoove or lulzactiveq..

It is auto ... I dont do anything ...

Schedulers is normal .. it is always cfq .

I install Boeffla config app and set Governor to ZZMoove or lulzactiveq.

It is still ZZMoove or lulzactiveq. It won't change. But if I set Pegasusq .

sometime it will auto to change to ZZMoove ..

thank you very much:victory:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Rulala,

yes, pegasusq is always the standard.

If you uninstalled boeffla-config app, please check for other apps that can change it (setcpu, voltagecontrol, system tuner, trickster mod...).

And also check you do not have init.d scripts changing that.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] adrenalin100:
What's new in this kernel?what's the point?Updated to Samsung Source update 11 from 06.08.13 and that's all?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Mainly: Updated to Samsung Source update 11 from 06.08.13

As stated in first line of the change log :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] slaphead20:
Just a quick question.

Running stock, no custom recovery.

When changing to another kernel is there any point in flashing the cleaning script in mobile Odin as it reboots before I can flash a new kernel, hence I'm guessing what I just cleaned will be reloaded....if that I'd the case, apart from cleaning init.d what else needs clearing?

Many thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zuluman:
what about booting 4.2.x with the newest samsung update
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Don't even try it. The kernel source code Samsung gave us yesterday is still 4.1.2...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
You do not really need a cleaning script to run, at least not for Boeffla.

Do not know which kernel you are using currently and where it places its settings.

The only thing is: Freeze tweaking apps like setcpu, voltagecontrol, system tuner etc. in order to avoid side effects.

You can configure the kernel by using boeffla-config from Google Play store completely.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rulala:
I only install setcpu , kernel Tuner..

But I am sure I just use them to see some information..

I don't use them to change anything.

and I also sure init.d scripts will not change Governor.

But I already uninstall setcpu , kernel Tuner..and only use boeffla-config app.

Now Governor is no problem.:p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I can only say: I am not using SetCPU anymore. It was doing always settings although I configured it to not do anything. So, it was not behaving properly. I deinstalled it long time ago and now all is fine.

(sorry to say, I usually do not want to talk bad about something)

[MENTION=947981]AndiP[/MENTION] why u don't update zzmoove yo 0.6a or u forgot to add to the changelog?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I am waiting for 0.7 version, 0.6a does not mean anything to the S3 as far as I am informed.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fanistic:
why does boeffla-config autostart (profile default applied) appear whenever i reboot my phone ,i never use to get this when i was on version 2.13
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Because the previous app (boeffla-tweaks) worked with init.d scripts. But this caused many problems when you moved to another kernel.

Boeffla-Config app now works with autostart, applies the settings, and quits afterwards.

If you do not like the message in the notification area, you can also switch it off in the settings of boeffla-config.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lkirra:
Guys, is there a problem on the boeffla site?

Can't download the "3.0beta8" it always timed out?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rulala:
thanks your reply.:good:

another question.. I used to set my read_ahead_kb by init.d script

Like this

echo "512" > /sys/block/mmcblk0/bdi/read_ahead_kb

echo "1024" > /sys/block/mmcblk1/bdi/read_ahead_kb

I know we can use boeffla config to set this.

But I found beta7 and beta8 will set 256. and my script can't work.

That mean I must use app to set ..

But with beta 6 my script can work... I am sure
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Rulala, yes... that is true.

First the scripts get executed, then Boeffla-Config overwrites (as it starts later) with the new values.

So if you insist of setting this via script (for whatever reason), you cannot use boeffla-config as well. Or, you need to configure the same settings in boeffla-config, so it does not overwrite it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

thanks for your report. Seems like 2.0beta3 is not too bad :)

Well, I decided to not undervolt at all in the standard configuration, to ensure highest stability for everyone.

I think it is really easy to modify the boeffla-kernel.conf file. But I could even think about a CWM flashable zip in future, which creates the file and have different patterns like light, medium, heavy etc. inbuilt. Future idea :)

Cheers

Hi can you add swap support in your kernel?

* Black crush fix implemented

* Fixed auto root not always working

Download via homepage, as always.

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No swap currently...

Currently there are no plans for that. Heard too many times, swap can cause issues, and this is against the objective of a simple daily-use kernel.

But I might revise later, you never know :)

Here is my battery after first charge on beta 3 during 6 hours of deep sleep dident lose almost noting of battery

CPU UV:100

GPU UV:50

Bus UV:50

Everything else on default settings.

Also I agree no need for default UV becose its pretty easy to configur things with script on SD card even after you install new version values in script don't reset so you set it once and your good to go.

This one is a keeper. Thanks for shearing your work with us.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pusheka:

All UV Heavy.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, definitely. It is on my personal wishlist to implement a sound tweak, whether it is something new or basing on Gokhans work I am not yet 100% sure. But I want this as well.

First I need to have a stable version 2.0 to have a good basis. So far, beta3 looks good it seems :)

Thanks for your report. Very promising. If no more catastrophic messages come in, I would consider to release this as a stable release on the weekend.

AndiP, you've now moved onto kernel development, this is great news! Testing v2b3, cpu -75, gpu -50, bus -25, sio looking great so far (display looks a lot better for some reason despite using mdnie tweaks on other kennels :)

I like the config file tuning as it doesn't involve additional apps consuming memory etc and gives you more time to spend on the actual kernel

As requested, would be fantastic to see sound enhancements in the future, keep up the excellent work.

It was 755, and these are the Linux user rights of the file

But as I explained before, with Boeffla-Kernel you do not need to care about it. It will be automatically set for you.
