Andi when flashing the kernel it automatically creates an EFS backup right? If the time comes that we need to restore the EFS how can I restore it by using the backup the kernel has made? And since it a .tar file does it mean it flashable using Odin?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maazy:
I see we have some new gov, like ondemand, powersave, performance. Does any1 know where I can find info about them?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I never was in the painful situation to put an efs backup back.

Personally I would do it in an adb shell by putting a tar command in.

But there are tools that can restore it automagically, I think one of it is even called "EFS backup" and available on XDA somewhere.

These are the ones that come with the standard kernel code from Samsung.

They are NOT adviced to be used as they are not capable of hotplugging.

Hi guys,

I'm not good in tweaks and mods and I'm looking for a preset config with latest boeffla 3.0 b5. For stability and good battery life which is better? Thanks for this amazing job
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, go in Presets menu and select "battery friendly". This should be a good starting point.

Hi, i still having problems while texting.. my device go's very slow and can't follow my texting speed..

I use zzmove battery 1200mhz..

A reboot solve the problem but not for long..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
What when you use zzmoove optimized for a while, or a pegasusq based governor?

Just to compare.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
If you have the powersaving mode on try disabling that, it maybe the one who's at fault there.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] drelite08:
Texting laggs usually happened to me when using either of the battery governors. Hasn't happened since I've started to use zzmoove optimized and to be honest it doesn't really use any more battery than either of the battery governors.

hello andi

I am using omega rom and your kernel

if I want to remove the kernel does a reflash of the rom without wipe will do the trick?

for now its rock stable but just in case...

one more question if I use the sound tweaks with a sound mod will it "hurt" in the meaning of messing up stuff ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lkirra:
I guess it works with sound mod, i use ac!d sound mod with the boeffla sound and no issues for me except for loving listening to my favorite mp3 and watching mtv..;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JellyTooth:
WOW!!!!!

I almost gave up to find a way to improve my s3 sound quality (tried almost all audio mods , kernels available ) and i was going to change it with another phone (HTC one or xperia z) until i found this kernel ( especially the last test version 3.0 beta 5) and its dedicated app (boeffla sound) , NOW i cant live without listening to my s3 ^^ , sound is now superior to any other audiophile phones i had ,even better than iphone 4s on flat EQ .

it reminded me with same sound quality i was hearing from my old galaxy s + voodoo sound :D thank you

you are the new audio king of galaxy s3 as Supercurio was for galaxy s1 :) i will donate asap :)

Check if supersu wants to have a new confirmation.

When the app gets updated, supersu wants another confirmation unfortunately.

And then I would need more information, best the bc.log files.

Hi Andy, checked su log for boeffla at boot and it stated I need supersu pro! I set supersu to grant as opposed to prompt and boeffla is now working. BC log has a timestamp and 'waiting'

Supersu was OK, I always run it manually after an update.

I did notice a message saying boeffla granted access quite sometime after the boot. Hope this helps

I just installed the latest stable and than even the beta5 of this kernel. And to be hones I love how snappy it is and look forward to play around with sound settings. But the big problem are wlan_rx_wake wakelocks. No idea why but I get a lot of them and they drain my battery fast.

This is on i9300XXEMB5 based stock firmware. (Cache and Dalvik are deleted)

Before this I had Siyah and than Devils kernel both without wlan wakelocks. Now I really want to keep your kernel but want to have good battery as well.

Any ideas?

I can try and flash to latest FW (I think the Great Britain one from few days ago)? Or perhaps flashing the same modem that you use will be enough?

Thank you for your time.

Hi guys,

Anyone got an overnight reset of boeffla-config?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] GTMoraes:
Hi,

My Galaxy S3 is frequently getting into hotboot looping state for no apparent reason. The only way to get it out of this state is to wipe the phone, restore a backup of the "data" folder only or boot into safemode (it doesn't work all the time)

After that, it might work for a week, but it might not work for a day (not work = start to hotboot loop).

It happens when after the phone screen is locked, it doesn't wake up anymore. It doesn't answers to any calls (like if it's off) or notifications. Just dies.

Forcing a reboot (by holding the power button) or removing the battery ables me to reboot it, but enter in hotboot looping state. I can make it go thru the whole booting state and I see the homescreen (And that's weird because I'm supposed to see the lockscreen first). Some widgets animation works but the device doesn't answer to touch (two softbuttons vibrates when touched, they do vibrate but don't render anything on Android) and then hotboots. Keeps doing this forever.

I even thought it could be the S3 memory issue with firmware, but I'm using this "fixed" kernel. Also, it is recoverable, and not permanently dead.

I managed to pin down to either Facebook, Youtube or both apps. I found out that the phone will run nicely if I don't log in on it. I'm inclined to think the culprit is Facebook app for some reason, but as I've logged in on Youtube app and Facebook on the same day this issue started to happen, I can't tell which one is the faulty one. As booting into safemode logs out of those apps, it reboots nicely.

Bug started when I updated the Boeffla Kernel to the first one with LED blink speed, but I'm not 100% sure if the kernel is causing it.

I've changed my ROMs (started with Android Revolution HD, now I'm with WanamLite ROM, both 4.1.2) but the problem persisted.

Here's the list of all of my apps. Since this bug started, I've minimized to pin down the faulty one:

-WhatsApp

-Pou

-WiFi Transfer Pro

-Facebook Messenger (had since day 1. It doesn't causes the bug)

-Facebook (installed, but not logged in)

-Youtube (installed, but not logged in)

-AdFree

-Waze

-Parafon NTFS&HFS+

-Rastreio Correios (updates mail tracking code, had since day 1)

-MessagingMetro

It has been running 20 days without a single hitch, until today that I've logged into Facebook & Youtube.

My guess goes to Facebook as it plays a bigger role inside Android, syncing contacts and so.

Any known bugs?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
It's highly unlikely that the kernel is causing it. Most of the apps you mentioned I have it on my phone and I'm not having any bootloops.

Do you remember any mods you installed other than boeffla? Maybe you have installed something that's meant for the odexed roms but you installed a deodexed version.

If you still don't find any I suggest that you completely wipe the phone and flash a fresh stock rom (not custom roms such as wanamlite) via Odin.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GTMoraes:
Only mod that I'm aware of is the CRT-Off, that comes with the WanamLite ROM, which Boeffla-Kernel supports. Everything else is pretty fresh.

What I don't get is that it is caused by logging in on Facebook. (Just checked here, I'm still logged on Youtube even after booting into Safemode. I'm logged out of Facebook)

I'll give it a week, then I'll try some other kernel. I'm positive that this bug stared with a Boeffla kernel update because at first I thought it was caused by the LED Blink speed setting, as it was new. On July 7th, I completely wiped the phone (internal SD card wiped) and reinstalled the WanamLite ROM, then removed the SD-Card, installed the aforementioned apps and been using it smoothly. This afternoon I've logged into Facebook app and few hours ago, it started hotboot looping.

Wish I could get a log out of this. They all come empty
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
Weird. I wish AndiP was online today to give you a better guidance as I really don't know what's causing your device to bootloop just because of the facebook app (which I assume most of us have). Sorry I couldn't be much of help.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] noobSU:
Honestly. That doesn't make any point regarding kernel, Logging in facebook app or youtube causing bootloop? seems really weird, you should change a kernel asap for testing, don't wait for it. Do it right away. Changing kernel is a 10 minutes job. but will tell the culprit of your biggest problem. If it is really a kernel or something else!

What should you do is.

1- Change kernel first. If you are safe of it. Report here. I'm worried even Andi can't help ya because that's not a known issue so only you're facing it. (Specifically on your side)

Or Start from the notch. WIPE everything. Don't need to go back to stock for these stupid issues. Clean Wipe + internal sd. Flash wanam or any custom stock based rom with Boeffla kernel. Don't restore anything. Don't use TB. Nothing. Download & install fb app right away & youtube only. Check.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GTMoraes:
Got a point, no need to wait for anything. Will reinstall the ROM and keep the original kernel
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
What exactly did you see, or how did you come to that conclusion?

Boeffla-Config does not run when not opened...? So I am confused...

[MENTION=947981]AndiP[/MENTION] I have been shuttling between AOSP based ROMs and stock ROM with custom kernels. I decided to try stock with your beta5 kernel. I decided to go a little aggressive in settings with the aim of improving battery life. Apart from under volting (medium undervolting profile for both CPU & GPU with zzmoove optimal, row for internal with 512kb read ahead and cfg for external with 1024kb read ahead and 600mb zRam), I decided to freeze anything that I remotely feel I will not use. All the sammy account & backup and various providers are now frozen.

My phone is very smooth and lag free (not that I play CPU intensive games but even rendering app windows and transitions are very smooth). I am sure the kernel has a big impact and thank you for making a clean, tweakable kernel along with an easy to use app. For the first time, I am feeling the high end hardware specs I paid for when I brought it. The only thing I like from AOSP is not having the notification panel and having a quick setting panel instead. Those are UI fancies and I can easily put up with that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
I use profile / boeffla-moderate / no uv, zram 600 megabytes, scheduler cfg, otherwise default and all absolutely amazing
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lkirra:
Boeffla-config ran AndiP, but when i woke up and check on Boeffla-config everything is back to default state so i have to re-apply..anyway this is not much of a case since it be re-applied easily..

Another i notice bro, the overview is not accurately measured i think..i have lowered the cpu to 1200 but it still reads as if the maximum is 1400? But in the pie control LMT is shows the tweak is activated at the maximum cpu is 1200.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
I erased everything from sd! boeffla folder

Then set the governor, planners and all last zram and reboot the phone.

Andi there is something wrong with your kernel and Android Revolution HD and NeatRom as i say in the past in both version when i install program from .apk file it crash after a restart !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NapsTer.VicTor:
Hi Andi. I tested all versions of this kernel. From my point of view 2.12 beta6-pre2 was the best version.. I really don't know why the latest version has lag.. Touching Fb, Youtube, Xda..apps and others takes 3-4 secs to open.if i flash that b6 of 2.12 the phone transformes into a rocket.. I don't know what you changed.. But i remember that you updated that zzmove to some other version and made my phone laggy.. I love the new boeffla config.. Though at the bffla-sound tab can you make the saturation with a configurable bar.. (Like perseus had or syiah) Thanks if you could take a look it would be wonderful. Try installing that beta 6 and i assure you it is faster and lag free than the current version..

Scrolling

Hi all... i do find some scrolling issue on xda app. when you scroll a long page for example first page of omega rom which is pretty long. when i continuously scroll till the bottom of the page it hangs for may b a mico second and then continues. This happen 2 or 3 times from top to bottom. i did changing governor but did not see much difference. i did not notice this lag on gallery scrolling..i have a pretty big gallery too...dont use fb so somelese who use can share about fb scrolling.

My daily driver setting are Boeffla battery saving with 2.13 b5 and Neatlite Rom md3 build.500 zram

my questions, appreciate if someone can respond.

is the scrolling to do with governor or kernel or ROM or app itself.... Any work around for this

I recommend this kernel, have ODEX rom official and then add everything.

or custom rom and everything set up, mods, themes, and other test and

Odex official os Sammy is the best system!!
