I would also say... forget out sane/insane EMMC chip topic.

All kernels contain the EMMC fixes for more than a year already. So as long as you do not use old kernels and recoveries, this should not be an issue anymore.

Or did I miss something? :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Then something is broken with your push services etc.

From kernel side, this is not influenced.

Must make sure you do not use "multicore powersaving" (switch it to off).

And also do not undervolt + do not reduce CPU frequencies extremely low.

I have whatsapp, hangouts, other push services running... all just fine.

AFTR+LPA causes very hard deep sleep, hard enough to miss things such as facebook notifications and other push services. Go back to Idle+LPA if you want to fix it.

I haven't even explored all the options and I'm already loving using a modified kernel. The sound mod alone is worth at the very least a thank you. I do have one question which I've come up empty handed while searching. How do I utilize the Mac Address Change?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1878506

Quoting:

Before you change your MAC address in any way, turn off Wi-Fi! I recommend writing down your original address somewhere (just to be extra secured). You can always return to your original one using the second method (read further) or by flashing a kernel that doesn't have the patch.

- If you flash a patched kernel and delete the '/efs/wifi/.mac.info' file, the driver will generate (!!) a custom MAC address based on some predefined rules (The first 24 bits are common in all generated addresses.).

- Of course you can set your own custom MAC address. Do this by editing the '/efs/wifi/.mac.info' file with a file manager. If you change it to an incorrect address, the system will automatically use the original (burned-in) MAC.
​

The only thing is: I have not tested it on the 5.x series of the kernel ever. So you will tell me if it works or not :)

Hi Lord Boeffla. Really appreciate you answering this yourself. I do have several EFS backups (one can't have too many) so I suppose it's worth a go. I'll test it out tomorrow when I have enough sleep. I'll make sure to report back to this thread.

Thanks [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION]

I guess that's why I was receiving delayed Whatsapp messages a few days back.

I'm still on AFTR+LPA, but the issue has resolved by itself now.

Nevertheless I think I'll move back to Idle+LPA.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] oreo27:
So I just tried out this guy's procedure and it works perfectly in all cases. Thanked his post.

Hopefully, someone else who searches within the thread won't have a hard time trying to figure out how to change the MAC Address.

1. Disconnect WiFi.

2. Delete \efs\wifi\.mac.info - Generate new random MAC Address

- edit file using any text editor (ES File Explorer's ES Note Editor worked just fine) to change MAC Address manually

3. Connect to WiFi and profit

If you want to revert

1. Disconnect WiFi.

2. Edit \efs\wifi\.mac.info incorrectly. In my case I just put a bunch of text and numbers using any text editor (ES File Explorer's ES Note Editor worked just fine) in no way related to a MAC Address

3. Connect to WiFi and it should be back to the stock value

or

Restore a backup you made of the \EFS Partition using CWM or any other custom recovery

Now time to explore all the other options of this beautiful thing called a custom kernel :victory:

Edit - I also tried my go to network scanner application and it also reads the MAC Address as the new one. Awesome!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Keneth... did it help to go back to Idle+LPA? If so, I would add something into the help and FAQ areas on it.

The reason why I do not post this prominently in help or FAQ section is: MAC address spoofing is many times something "touchy", i.e. something war drivers do to break into others wifi networks.

I am still not sure about a normal use case, but maybe you can explain us what you use that for?

Hence, I only give that information out on special request to not make it too easy for people wanting to do strange stuff with it :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
It certainly is, but only in some small parts.

However, I am not providing a 9305 kernel myself, so do not know which 9305 kernel you are referring to.

Strange battery drain on disabling DVFS and Boost in advanced settings of Wanam Xposed.

Do you have "Enable DVFS and Boost enabled or disabled" in advanced settings of Wanam Xposed.

I had it enabled all along and was wondering why do I need it enabled there if I have the most awesome kernel taking care of everything. So I went ahead and disabled it... Under the impression that the kernel should do its work. But apparently my device was acting strange. Uninstalled the whole Xposed framework... And guess what... Everything is back to normal now. CPU temp went down from 72 to 43. Boot time is faster.

I'm sticking to my Boeffla-ARHD i9300... Nothing more. Nothing less.

Edited / Updated: [MENTION=4891327]boyheadkick[/MENTION] & [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION]

So I was curious to know why I was facing the issue with Wanam Xposed. Did a fresh install of Xposed Framework and Wanam Xposed. And it seems to be OK now. Hmmm... Really weird.

Hi Andi,

From what I gather, this seems to be related to penetrating secure wireless networks, correct? No wonder I had difficulty locating relevant information on how to do it.

Personally, I use for one task exclusively (I haven't found any other use for it). There are certain wireless networks in certain malls that give access for free WiFi for an hour. Once that limit is reached, you'll have to wait 24 hours to get another free hour. With this capability, I can simply change my MAC Address everytime i exceed said limit. I won't be doing this very often as I am rarely in malls. But I like the feeling that I know I can if needed.

[Rant]

I know this isn't a common problem for folks who live in non-3rd -world-countries. But here, 1GB (you'll never, ever reach this because of the abysmal speeds) a day will set you back $22/month on top of your texting and calling plan. It's kind of funny how people here say, "I have an LTE device!" Really? Wow! You have a network that can't even throughput 5MB/s and you're happy about LTE? Good luck driving that 1.1L car on on Autobahn.

[/Rant]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Thanks, orea27. This mall thingy makes sense in a way.

Even I could need this when I am using free wifi on airports, which is limited to 30 minutes many times. Never thought about using the MAC address change to overcome that limit though.

Thanks, now I have a first real use case.

Cheers

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DocMarc73:
Which is still "semilegal" i guess ...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Changing the MAC address is not illegal, I would say. It is nothing else like having multiple devices I hook onto a time-limited network one after the other.

I am not a legal guy, so this is only my opinion based on common sense.

What is illegal however is hacking into anothers wifi, with or without changed MAC address and doing illegal things :)

Hi, it's obviously a stupid question, but nevertheless i'll ask.

Will boeffla v5.2 combined with arhd 51 and with these options:

gov zzmove-battery yank,

sched: cfq

no uv,

no oc,

touch boost off

kernel, android logging -disabled

give better battery life than stock rom/stock kernel, or arhd 51/stock kernel?

I read many posts and it is different for anyone, and it is stupid to ask without trying (i know), but i'm just curious on the quality of usage in both.

I'm currently on full stock NB6 and i get about 3h screen on time, during night battery drops about 4-6% (wifi, data off, power saving on), during day low gaming, much social networking and whatsapp, always on wifi, data about 1h maximum.

I'm aksing because it is quite unusual because some of you, as i saw, get about 4-5h screen on time (i achieved that only on 4.1.2).

Thx in front.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] oreo27:
No worries. Thanks for developing Beoffla. The few missing features that I could no get hold of elsewhere (Audio tweaks & MAC Address Changing) are finally on my device.

Yes, I too was thinking how they could accomplish that so I thought of all the possible information you send over to the router.

Device Name - Easily changable

Browser Cookie - Easily deletable

MAC Address - Hardwired although still changable on some devices (thanks to your Kernel, my i9300 too) < I'm still on an

assumption

. I have yet to go and test this out but I'm quite positive it's this.

Whether legal or not would probably depend on local laws. I'm unaware of a law governing that subject in our country.

[Off Topic]

It's rather annoying to see all the marketing gimmicks of network operators when they launched LTE. How many areas would you get more than 5MB/s? That's not even half of HSDPA and you want to launch LTE?! How about give us a consistent throughput and latency connection first? It's all about money for the telecom giants here. I'll stick to my wired connection thank you very much.

[/Off Topic]

Since I'm already participating on this thread. I wanted to also ask about this particular feature:

I'm a fan of doing things manually or at least knowing how to. And this is one of the things I couldn't find much information of either. Say I didn't want to use CF Autoroot. This should be the procedure:

Install Custom Recovery (CWM/TWRP etc) > Flash Kernel > Root using the feature of the kernel

How do I go about that? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lsalamun:
Hi, i tried boeffla v5.2 with ARHD 51, and i noticed somting strange

I think that init.d exec doesn't work properly, because when i use ARHD with it's stock recovery, the fix network patch by zuuman executes at boot and i get my network normaly, but when i flashed boeffla kernel that script could not be executed and i ended up getting no service, i reflashed the patch script and modem but nothing happened, i also tried getting universal init.d, but that didn't help either.

Also boeffla v2 config app can't apply governor, when i sett zzmoove it says applying this may take several minutes, and the app freezes.

To be sure i started from the bottom again. Installed ARHD 51, waited for first boot, then flashed boeffla 5.2, then the network script and patched modem, i ended up with the exact same results.

Please help about that, i'd really want to use this kernel.

Thx in front.

Edit: it is working, i had to flash init.d script remover from zuluman after flashing boeffla kernel, no problems now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

was just about to write:

Boeffla-Kernel does support patched modems out of the box, so you do not need the script anymore.

Also, Zuluman's first script versions were not 100% robust, he provided a better one a bit later.

But as you noticed, not required at all with Boeffla :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Franc38:
Hi guys!

Awesome kernel, but I've recently run into a little problem.

I noticed that my battery performance wasn't as good as before, and looking around a little, I observed that even though my profile is suppose to be with zzmoove as governor, with battery-yank as profile (which gives superb results), after a while it changes and resets to lulzactiveq...

I've tried reflashing the kernel, cleaning init.d, no chance... I manage to set governor to zzmoove, then after a while it goes away. I re-sets it and so on and so forth...

Did I do something wrong somewhere? Is there a cure to my woes?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
Just wondering....

I have some very deep, but deep deep deep sleep while on charging using regular charger with cable, but such deep sleep that some times if try to wake it up while plugged, it doesn't respond to any button press, and if I unplug it, the red led light (charging status) remains on, and of course the phone doesn't respond.

Is it a strange deep sleep or what?

Only solution: force restart keeping the power button pressed.

I am on AFTR+LPA, zzmove battery yank, no oc/uc/uv.

Any suggestions?

I had to use Bussybox instaler, choose install and then you can uninstall

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Of course it works. I always use it.

But you indeed have to uninstall previous busybox first. And unfortunately the uninstall does not clean up properly.

So after uninstall you have to manually delete left over symlinks in /system/xbin etc.

But then it works without issues (for me and all my apps which require busybox).

Well, seems that it was the accumulation of flashing successive versions of the kernel, and with different profiles.

I did flash another kernel (yank's), then cleaned a bit some "left overs" and then reflashed 5.2

Now zzmoove seems to stay! Great!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Thanks.

I can confirm it must be somehow related to the per-app modes app because:

- during startup, the kernel sets the settings only once

- whenever you start boeffla-config, it reads the current settings (it does not apply anything unless you change something)

Maybe some weird side effect, you could always try to freeze boeffla-config and then check with another 3rd party tool. Just to confirm what I was saying, stating the theory.
