Itsaysit was charging, even the battery shows it was charging in the history display.

---------- Post added at 12:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

I did play with usb charging rates, when change to 700mA and above it didn't recognize it, I thought it was the cable solely, but since at 400mA rate was recognize 100% of the time I assume it might have something to do with the kernel. Never had an issue charging it thru my laptop before. I'm using a Samsung laptop running windows 8. Did I send the email correctly?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STAticKY:
Were you using it at the time? Has happens to me where the port only supplies limited amps, say 300 or something like that. And if you are using it at the same time as its charging like this,(depending on usage) it will be charging but you will be depleting the battery faster than the charge can get back in...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tuckycv:
Since i was traveling it was not being use. Around 2 hours After plug in, I realise of the issue. Right now is charging on a new acquired wall charger ate my hotel.

2.12-beta1a

Hi all,

just to let you know, I uploaded a minor bugfix release

2.12-beta1a

this morning.

In this release I fixed some busybox related issues with loading saved settings. This failed when there was no additional busybox installed.

Also the same applies for the "flash kernel and reboot" function.

Both is now fixed, no further changes.

Andi

2.11-beta1a ? Or 2.12 beta1a ?

Of course 2.12-beta1a.... bummer.

Thanks for the heads-up. Corrected.

Also, Andi, is it possible to add the "Remove Safety Margin" and "Ignore Instability" for the AC Charger? It would be useful as my cable doesn't charge very well.

As far as I know, the S4 doesn´t have a Wolfson audio unit; no Boeffla Sound possible ?

Speaking of Boeffla Sound...I miss this feature since I´m testing the JB 4.2.2 leak Firmware and have to use the stock kernel since there are no sources available..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, not doing that for severals reasons.

I will skip the S4.

Hardware: Disappointing, also having two separate platforms for US and EMEA is ridiculous

Software: Will come 95% to S3 as well.

Sound: Qualcomm audio hub, no chance to easily improve sound

So, S4 not appealing for me. Will jump on S5 again.

Sorry, but will not include something that can potentially create any harm or is in any way dangerous. I do not want to take the blame.

I would recommend you spend 10 Dollars (or Euros) to get a proper charger. I did it as well. This solves the issue from the root instead of doing a shaky workaround. Hope you understand.

Yes, that is one of my main reasons to skip the S4. At least in the EMEA region...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sherlock5545:
Thanks for the answer Andi. Also, I'm experiencing freezes randomly since I flashed the kernel this morning, I was on Perseus before. I ran the Boeffla Cleaner Script prior to flashing. Is there anything else to do? The phone has been always healthy, no issues before sds fix ever came. It's always been on safe kernels and recoveries afterwards.

2.12-beta2

Folks,

new beta available now, with a

major

bug fix:

2.12-beta2

Change log (vs 2.12-beta1)

Frequency scaling issue fixed (by reverting a patch of last upstream to 3.0.79 which created it) - CPU cores should no more be stuck to maximum frequency anymore without load

Loading of saved setting in Boeffla-Tweaks app now works also when there is no separate Busybox installed

Flash Kernel from SD-Card in Boeffla-Tweaks app now works also when there is no separate Busybox installed

Download via the known ways... homepage or load&flash.

Cheers

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

no, there should not be any freezes with latest versions. It is running rock stable for hundreds of users already.

What you can do is:

- flash beta2 which just came out, maybe there was a connected issue

- send me a debug info file via boeffla-tweaks, maybe I can see some incorrect setting...

Thanks

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, answered via mail back to you.

Unfortunately could not see much as kernel logger was not switched on.

But yes, if you have concerns go back to latest stable. Although I can put my hands in fire it will not behave different from latest beta in terms of charging ;)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tuckycv:
It was a really weird issue, usually want to find out why, I'll turn on kernel logger for the latest stable, I hang around iPhone users, so if I ran out of battery it would be a "normal" day.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
Upstreaming kernel was a good idea, Andi. Like the latest betas a lot. :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hnernes:
I just noticed your boeffla-cleaning script (in download section on your homepage). I just wonder is this to clean out any other (non Boeffla kernels) to ensure that only boeffla scripts and things are present? Nice to know and good to have if this is the case. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
It is a quite rude script yes, and deletes everything that could conflict with boeffla-kernel.

So what it does:

- completely makes init.d folder under /system/etc/init.d empty (also removes all other scripts there, which are from custom roms etc.)

- deletes a potential boeffla-kernel.conf file, if it exists

[Galaxy S III Android Development] rulala:
I try 2.12 beta2 and

I found this version had a good, stable heavy Game performace:D

I don't change anything! All default setting to test it!

2.11 all beta version is not good on heavy Game.

But 2.12 is very good! Does andiP know Why ??

2.12 beta1 I don't test. I just test beta2! Very amazing!

I hope all gamer lovers can report yours feedback. thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
rulala... the reason why 2.12 behaves so good for you with gaming is most probably a combination of many factors...

- different tool chain

- kernel has hundreds of optimisations in due to upstreaming

Think that is it which makes the difference.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rulala:
thanks your fast reply:good:

I will reflash 2.11 stable to test again.

and then flash 2.12 beta1a . I will report it later.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:

2.12beta1 Stable

AndiP, as far as performance and the positive feedbacks on 2.12beta1.

I think this can be consider as Stable?

I just went out after flashing 2.12beta1 with my favorite boeffla setup.

Playing games while listening to music and taking some pictures and videos.

You should move on to beta2, really :)

2.12beta2

A bit laggy at screen rotation..

Same pegasusq 2 core setup..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rulala:
Hi , AndiP

I think 2.12 series is really smooth and stable than 2.11 stable

2.12 beta2 is a bit better than beta1a. I mean playing heavy game.

You did a good job! Thank you very much:victory:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I would understand if beta2 is not as smooth as beta1 for some activities.

Which is explainable as beta1 had a major bug, keeping the frequencies of CPU cores on maximum so the scale up process was not required (full speed all the time).

But compared to 2.11 series, 2.12-beta2 should not behave worse at all.

This is also not the common feedback so far.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bixano:
Yep, beta2 is not as smooth as beta1,

AndiP if I stay on Beta1, Will I get in throble ? I mean it's dangerous to stay in beta1 ?

the problem that you related ( BUG ), is that all the cores are online and at 1,4 mhz ?

I can't saw this problem in the apk "cpu stats" , it seems that everything are ok, the frequency goes down to 0.2 when the screen is not touched and goes up to 0,8 when touch and goes normaly to 1,4 when playin games,

could you please explain more the "bug" with 3.0.79 ?

thank a lot for the hard work ! and sorry my bad english again !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

just explain it short: Yes, there are situations when at least 2 CPU cores all of a sudden stay at maximum frequency. This makes the phone smoother on one hand, of course, but also consume unneccessary battery.

It does not happen always, but very frequently. I could observe it as well on my phone after a while.

It does not cause harm to your phone, but will drain your battery more than required.

And one reason you should not stay on beta1 for a long time is: It is clearly a bug and will be removed for all subsequent versions of course. So if you get used to it, it is not good.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bixano:
Thanks a lot AndiP now I understood :laugh:

Thats why I feel my battery drainning fast with beta 1, so I will change to beta2 !!!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kyle07:
This kernel is quite something! I thought I'd try it out and I'm glad I did. It feels snappier than Perseus. Far fewer "micro-lags". The one thing I miss from Perseus is the screen calibration, would be great if it could be added here!

Thanks for sharing, AndiP!

Good day Andi just want to ask if i choose pegasus 1 core will it put the 3 core to sleep? i always set it to pegasus - battery 1000mhz. Ive tested it but it feels like it drains faster rather than pegasus - battery or im just paranoid.. would be gladly to know the logic behind it.

im not a heavy user and gamer. i dont use any kind of sync. Trying zzmoove opt feels like it drains a bit faster rather than pef-bat well im not that sure comparing it like for hours with the same thing im doing with the phone.

should i test it for like days?? thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pretzel Kleo:
Andi can you tell me how to increase the volume for phone speaker and hearphones manually, please?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MBurns2:
i tried a lot of combinations, the best for me is to set pegasusq (samsung default) and enable power saving. No lag,quite faster and it drains less battery than zzmove battery.

If you want you can try pegasusq battery saving or zzmove battery saving..those two are the best for battery IMO.

The problem is if you set power saving with one of these two..you will see some lags..

Imo for me the best compromise is pegasusq+power saving ( i active it only when i have to surf on internet..)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vanillaice825:
Regarding power saving. Will it not conflict the phone as im already using a customized settings? Im a pegasus-battery user one time i enabled it and for me it kinda messed up my phone.

When i turning off the phone i always check at what battery percentage i left and see to it how much it drains when i turn it on. Im not using it like for 4 or so hours. Thats one of the routine im doing for the basis of testing diff. settings.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] maatsby:
Andi you're releasing kernels faster than I can accurately test them, I love it.

So far my experience has been the same as expected, the 2.12 beta 2 has a much improved battery life over the 2.12 beta 1, but I have noticed a little bit of lag here and there that wasn't present in beta 1. Not noticeable enough to ruin the day to day performance of the phone though. For example the keyboard keeps up with my very fast thumbs without any issues.

I'm using the battery friendly profile

Hehe, sorry... I think there are no real bad kernels around. All of them serve their specific needs.

But yes, I can confirm I will definitely skip the S4 (unless someone sponsors it fully) for the reasons I explained many times. Not an appealing device to me.

So, no worries... I will definitely continue as well for the next 12-18 months.

Kind of... especially also I release based on the bug reports. The frequency scaling thing yesterday was major, so I had to immediately react.

And when it is calming down with good feedback for a few days, I will release a new version again :)

Thats my typical strategy behind.

No clue really, maybe has to do with some changes perseus has built in to deal with unstable charging currents.

Ok, please do the following:

a) enable kernel logger

b) connect your s3 with usb port

c) after around 30 seconds, generate a debug info file in boeffla-tweaks

d) mail me the file

I can then see what kind of charger is recognized by the kernel, and what charging rate gets negotiated.

Maybe we see where the issue is.

UI Lags

Hi AndiP,

I was thinking about the lags, or micro lags in transition animations and ui interface,

I did some tests and noticed that PegasusQ is very agressive with down scale and up scale, thats the point,

if we set less agressive down scale under 800mhz, I mean maybe force the CPU to go for 600mhz then 500mhz then 400 mhz and then 200 mhz, the ui lags will disappears, the problem is when we touch the screen the cpu goes to 800mhz very fast and everything are smooth ( navigate on the internet is an exemple ) but right after we press the home button the cpu goes drasticaly to 200mhz, somethimes the cpu goes to 400mhz and drasticaly stays at 200mhz, and the transition animations gets a lot of lags ( quickly switch between applications is an exemple ),

the point is could you please make the PegasusQ goes down less agressive under 800mhz ? or maybe force the cpu to go to all over the frequencys only under 800 mhz, this will not affect the battery inteory, I did this tests on Perseus and get awensome animations and did'nt notice any battery drain, maybe just a little, but will be nice to be another option for us, If you can't, could you please tell me how can I do this ? maybe a script or modify some code in the system....I will wait your reply ;D

Thanks a lot !!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hm, I see nothing in particular.

The PowerManagerService wakelock comes e.g. when you press the buttons all the time. I had the same issue for hours until I realized my soft bag accidentally pressed the volume down button. This keeps the phone awake.

The Audio out can come from many notification sounds or mp3 playing, do not know.

So, both screenshot do look quite normal to me.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Thanks for your views, bixano.

The microlags will never go away completely with Samsung based roms. This is a known fact since the Galaxy S1 (which I had as well).

PegasusQ can be heavily tweaked by using the parameters (or tunables) of it. It is a lot of playing around, which I did in the past to find the boeffla batt save and boeffla moderate as well as the 1core, 2core etc. "profiles".

However, these days I cannot work on new profiles really. This needs some "quiet" time to modify, try for a while, fine tune etc. I do not have this time these weeks due to being very busy at work.

But I am very happy if you want to dig into that and play around, and maybe in the end provide me with a good parameter set which I can turn into a new profile.

To get you started, I recommend reading here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1572937

Tools like System Tuner Free support tuning the parameters. And I think Trickster Mod App as well, but not so sure.

Hope that helps. Looking forward to your contribution then :)
