About the archiving kernels, I always thought they just download and still stay saved on the SD. Is that how it does it? Or is it different now? Because when I try to manually flash a version through CWM, I can't find the version the app downloaded and flashed.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
Andi many thanks for a new verzi.3.2 beta1

Turbo zRam works great

question, where is archived core after flash

In previous versions it was saved to sdcard but it was not a flashable .zip file but an .img file. I think latest version(s?) is flashable.

[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] why doesn't config have a tab like the app in this thread? Something to set swapiness and configure zram in general? I'd really love that and I think it'd be pretty handy.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ARCANAAA:
He already announced that he will implent a way to configure swapiness in near future. And zram is already configurable

[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Only the zram size is configurable. I'd love to set swapiness or something. But I can see it was set to 80 so I'm satisfied now. I just checked the 200MB zram I had and noticed around 180 was being used. Bumped it up to 500MB. But in previous versions, with 500MB there was less being used than with 200MB.

I'll see how it goes with this new turbo one.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Guys, this will be in next app version, I am testing and bugfixing it already...

Swappiness can be overwritten + number of zram devices can be set in future then (1, 2 or 4)

But before I start messing with things, 100 swapiness won't mess anything up? Like the original swap did
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
It will not break anything for sure. You can set swappiness freely between 0 to 100. It controls how aggressively swap (in our case zRam) is gonna used.

If it makes sense... other question :)

When you load a kernel with load&flash, it is archived in the /boeffla-kernel-data directory as a tar.md5 file. You can choose Flash kernel tar.md5 in Boeffla-Config, go into that directory, and easily flash any of the older kernels again which are archived there.

Well... not really, as it was broken. But in future it works now.

I understand there is an apk called TURBO ZRAM somewhere in XDA. Is that app already embedded in 3.2 Beta 1 or it needs to be installed separately?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ahac85:
Delete
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hey,

the turbo zram app does nothing else but creating multiple swap devices on multiple zram devices.

With Boeffla-Kernel, you do not need it, as Boeffla-Kernel from version 3.2-beta1 onwards uses 4 zRam devices as well.

Also, with a new upcoming app version you can configure to use 1, 2 or 4 devices - as you like.

So, in a way the functionality is embedded, yes. No need to install it separately.

Which one of the system tweaks option is adviceable to activate? What effects do they have?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Althogh I need to bring the homepage up to date soon, here some explanation about the system tweaks:

http://www.boeffla-kernel.de/index.php/configuration/config-file-app

The mattiadj tweaks have been added and are meant to be used by heavy gamers.

Personal recommendation: Set it to None, no system tweaks should be required for normal usage.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
Thanks, I thought so.

I just did not know if / boeffla config / tar.md5 manages to flash file

Can Lowering gpu frequency upscale percentage increase my device's gaming performances?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hamer221:

Hey andip what about the cpu voltages.. They are the same as in siyah kernel but overvolted why don't use stock voltages?

German: meine eigentlich warum die spannungen standart so hoch sind hat das einen sinn?

Mfg, marc
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Marc, do not know what Siyah displayed.

But Boeffla-Kernel uses the normal asv voltage table of stock kernel source.

Which voltage does Boeffla give you, and which did you have with Siyah?

On my S3, all is according to stock standard.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] moffa89:
1400mhz 1288mv on boeffla stock settings and with s3 original stock is 1275mv? That i mean ;) but stock voltage i dont use i undervolted -100 and then i have 1188mv not 1175mv you know xD but not soo important boeffla kernel rulez
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Question is: who is right, and who wrong...

Anyways, as you said, no deal, not a big difference.

I am quite sure Boeffla is right. But most important is - everything seems to run fine :)

[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION],

it seems that option Touch to wake doesn't work anymore. :( I don't know when that stop working since I didn't used it after v2.13 beta 2 when you change it to not work with proximity sensor (you remember I wrote about it). And now I am on newest beta version and I can't make it work. :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TSO of Stormwind:
Sorry i was awful at explaining myself.

What i actually meant is this: i know that the actual boeffla config app does not allow users to modify the GPU upscale threshold (i mean the gpu usage % that triggers an increase in frequency step). But if there would be a way to modify these thresholds having in mind to try to keep the GPU frequency as high as possible whenever a gpu intensive (75-80% gpu usage at least) app is launched, would lowering these thresholds be a way to increase overall gaming performance?

Just wanted to hear your opinion, no support involved here.

I hope that the message is clear, i actually dipped into my english skills here :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eyegor:
Here is what I think. If the current threshold is, lets say, 80%, and an app triggers it, then having a lower threshold wouldn't change anything. On the other hand if you set it to 60%, and the app which otherwise wouldnt trigger it (if it was 80%) does, it probably wouldn't improve performance as the app did not originally need a higher clock (if the app didn't perform well at 60% load it would have increased the load and triggered the threshold at 80% anyway), but now it uses more power.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TSO of Stormwind:
I am talking (as a gamer) about very gpu intensive apps that can be often cpu limited causing gpu usage to drop, lets say to 85%, and so the gpu frequency. Which causes framerates to crap out even more.

Staight to the point: i want that a very gpu intensive app always uses maximum frequency avaliable: not only that, but i also want that maximun frequency is being keeped even if there is a minor usage drop (like from 100 to 80) to keep framerates as high as possible.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eyegor:
I know what you are talking about and I gave you my opinion. Having in mind that heavy games utilize the gpu fully one could reason that they keep it at max freq 100% of the time. I didn't realize that the cpu could be the bottleneck. You pretty much answered your own question. If the cpu is the limiting factor causing gpu usage to drop below threshold and in turn reduce the freq, reducing that threshold should help keep it at max, and therefore give better performance.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
The application change log shows up almost every time i open it. Is there a reason why?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] janres155:
Does the app settings reset every reboot and shows change log? What I did is convert boeffla config to user app.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
I don't know. I didn't do anything to it. Just updated it from the play store. And nothing resets since the CPU clock setting is always the same.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] janres155:
Is your Boeffla Config installed as system app?

I'm referring to the app the he installed from the play store, which belongs to him in the sense that he owns the device. Btw, from his siggy (if it is updated) you can identify whether the app is installed in the system. AFAIK, UltimaROM installs Boeffla-Config App in the system/app. On the other hand, I also had the same problem with him that the changelog shows every time I open the app, so what I did is convert the app into a user app, in which solved the problem. I think that there's a problem in UltimaROM if the app is installed in the system.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
Oh sorry I misunderstood :D Well about it being a system app that maybe true on UltimaROM but not on mine as I installed it separately from the playstore. But you maybe right it about the app having it's issues on the UltimaROM itself since i just see the changelog every time there's an update :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AccipioXXX:
Hi,

I'm using the last beta kernel and i would like to report an issue that i get with the version 3.x (didn't have any problems with 2.1x).

Like many others, i have some troubles with my 64gb SanDisk microsdxc (class 10). Sometimes the device recognize the card on boot, sometimes not. Since few weeks, it becomes rare that i can access files stored on my ext card.

Today i tried the stock kernel (mh1) and guess what, 100% working on every reboot. I tried 10 times without issues. Then i tried ag ain with boeffla kernel and the problems started again.

I really love this kernel but i love even more to access my files stored on my ext SD card.

Do you have any solution to have best of both worlds?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi all,

just a quick note:

No, it is absolutely not normal if the Boeffla-Config app shows the release note at every start again. It should be shown exactly 1x, thats it.

It might be worth a try to ensure the app is a user app, as this app was never intended to be a system app.

I am not happy at all, custom rom providers apparently put them into the system apps directory and ship it with the roms. And I think I will contact them to not do this anymore.

They can easily install it as a proper user app as well, or even better, put a link to playstore in the rom.

So: If boeffla-config is installed as a system app = no support from my side, sorry. Will try to put something in to block this in future.

Well, all I can say is:

- I also have a 64 GB card in and never have any issues with it, all working fine. However, I do not have it exFat formatted, if this is a point

- I do not have reports about this issue since now, so I am quite surprised and it seems, many hundreds-thousand users also do not have this issue

However, there might be a correlation with your rom version. You wrote you are on mh1.

The kernels initramfs is a bit older (before mg4), maybe that could explain it.

However, I cannot update the initramfs currently as it breaks mobile connection for roms older than mg4 then.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi, I think this is of course possible.

But as this is really a very special gamer requirement, I will not put any work into it now. As you might know, I am aiming to create a kernel perfect for daily usage. Putting specific tweaks for hardcore gaming in is against my objective (pls refer to OP).

Hope you understand.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Mh, I used it always, and without any issues.

What is exactly the issue?

When I remember, in the past it was another app conflicting with it. Not sure anymore about the name of the app.

I've the same card formatted as exfat and I never had this problem. Please note that I flash all boeffla beta since 2.11.

I'm on latest stock rom UBEMH5.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AccipioXXX:
Hi Andi,

Thank you for replying fast.

I'm nor using exfat since i don't see the point of using this fs (i don't have any file 4+gb...)

When i started to get problems with my sd card, i just googled galaxy s3 sd card problems and found many people having the same issues. I didn't say that many boeffla usrrs are in the same situation. Just that many gs3 users are.

My rom version is mg6 and the kernel that i tried is mh but i was using mc3 with 2.1X to 3.1 with the same issues.

Now i'm running stock kernel but i reall miss some features from boe

Maybe i can change some files manually. Can you help me please?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] moffa89:
I really like you :D and what about gpu? Standart voltage of i9300 is 875 900 950 1025 ..?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
asv_level is also used for gpu, it is for the Exynos SOC in general.

And just to make it clear: There is no such kind of a "standard" voltage for the i9300. It depends on the Exynos chip you have in your phone, which revision, manufacturing quality. So the voltages vary between the s3 devices.

That is why, based on the asv_level, a lookup table will be queried to determine which voltages need to be used for every frequency.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
I'm really curious see my asv_levels since my S3 can really undervolt quite heavily (both CPU and GPU set at -100mV) without being unstable so this feature is a welcome one for me :) Nice Andi :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ninolina:
Sorry, I forgot that I totally have to disable the app ProximityScreenOff to be able to use this feature in latest versions of Boeffla kernel. When the app is disabled then Touch to wake works. It's sad for me. :( Can you look at that again when you have time? :)

Thanks for your work and answer. :)

App 1.4

Hi all,

version 1.4 of the Boeffla-Config app has been just pushed to Google play and Androidpit by me.

Expect it to arrive in a few hours.

Changes:

* Number of zRam devices configurable (1, 2 or 4)

* Swappiness overwritable

* MDNIE overwrite (mainly for CM)

* Touch LED settings (for CM)

* Ability to display caution messages at app startup

* Display asv level on latest kernels

* Graphical rearrangement of many sliders for improved usability

Cheers

[Galaxy S III Android Development] pistoke:
Feels like zram isn't good for my phone. I tested it few months ago with the same results like now with the newest beta. Sooner or later my phone become very slow for a while. It starts mostly while using Chrome and writing an url or a comment on a webpage. Then it's slow almost freezed in other apps too. Like now Google play didn't open properly. Don't know if SwiftKey got something to do with this..?

I have zram 400, zzmove yank battery, no UVs, cfq, OC cpu 1500, system tweaks off, ext4 tweaks on, buffers 512 internal and 256 ext, touch boost and wake on... (other settings propably don't have any effect to this)

I have debug info about Chrome and play slowdown. Andi, do you think it may be usefull for you? If not, I won't send it. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Pistoke, no - the log will not help me in this case.

Maybe one last thing you can try before you give up:

With the new app 1.4 which should be available soon for all of you via Google Playstore, you can configure zRam to use multiple devices (= turbo zRam).

So you can try to configure it to 4 devices, many hardcore gamers told me this is much better for them.

If that does not help... yes, then your S3 is not "zRam-friendly" ;)
