would anyone using the Stock 4.3 MK6 with boeffla-kernel-5.1-beta14 want to share their exp on the battery life?

I been using for 24 hours and have only managed to get 6-7 hours with moderate usage.

I am not rooted or using any custom roms.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zalaros:
It worked after flashing several kernels including stock kernel. Is flashing causing this or boeffla kernel?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kunal1540:
Don't know what's problem with the new 4.3 firmwares but with stock kernel when you open camera it installs some files or drivers?? and then after flashing custom kernel it does not cause any problem but this issue is not present for everyone...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Hbohd:
I made a little research about this problem, because I was experiencing it since I flashed first custom rom and kernel on my i9305... However it looks like i9300 users (some) have same problem :(

Take a look here and read it if you want, some precious info -> CLICK

I have problem with latest ArchiDroid 1.7.7 and Boeffla kernel.

I get random freezes and soft reboots at apps and games. It happend with beta 14 and I switched to beta 13 thinking that found sollution, but same thing happens.

I was using ArchiDroid 1.7.6 with Boeffla beta 13 till yesterday and haven't had any issues.

I'm just flash and go guy and don't have experience in other things :) , but I think this file is what you need:

When I flash beta 14 directly over beta 13, my camera failed. So, I flash stock kernel first and then I flash beta 14 and everything is fine now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Exactly, you can find almost all stock kernels on my homepage...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] pricey2009:
Frandom in my opinion does not help with battery life.. it is a feature of the seeder app which is very good for performance but it would drain the battery within just a few hours!

I notice no difference having frandom tweaks on, so I leave it off.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
Been using it for a few days, I don't see much difference .. but it's not hurting either ..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] axetilen:
nope it's totally different from seeder

seeder will constantly generate entropy to keep it at the maximum entropy possible = 4096. That's why this method drains battery but system behaves smoothly

frandom is a different type of entropy generation. The default is urandom which is slow and the entropy will increase slowly => less smooth

frandom generates entropy a lot faster and entropy will increase faster => smoother

frandom doesnt force entropy to peak at 4096. Entropy is usually around 300-1500. it generates entropy gradually to an "enough" value. It will reach 4096 when needed but usually not. This doesnt drain battery (more accurately: higher battery usage but very very very small - you can never notice) => highly recommend to use

I cant find any disadvantages so far

you cant sê the difference maybe due to the default kernel.random.write_wakeup_threshold is set too low

if you increase this to a higer value, you might see the difference
[Galaxy S III Android Development] boyheadkick:
may i refer you good sirs to this :p

and yes, i have frandom turned on

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZaneZam:
the question is what advantage do we really have by using it : http://www.xda-developers.com/android/entropy-seed-generator-not-all-its-hacked-up-to-be/

;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] axetilen:
I tried to use passive entropy generator by using android tuner and I can notice the difference in my lowe-end devices :). I believe that it could do something, not totally placebo

It can be easily noticed with low cpu frequencies but not the high ones

using frandom, we dont lose anything and maybe for dont get anything
[Galaxy S III Android Development] raheelanjum:
Frandom was never a part of seeder. It was part of CrossBreeder by great developer Idcrisis. It is really unfortunate that he was forced to leave the development of CrossBreeder. The thread is now maintained by another guy "fivefour". Details about Frandom are posted by Idcrisis at no. 5 in post #3.

One kernel developer who is also now maintaining crossbreeder thread had done some tests on Frandom vs Urandom. He has posted his results here

Some general information about Frandom can be had here
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
So the missing "persist.sys.screen_on=none" line in build.prop is the fault of the fandom restarts/hangs of the phone??

Can some one please tell me why??

In that thread it's written that CrossBreeder it's for all Android versions, except x86 versions...what does that mean??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] raheelanjum:
Honestly, I am not sure? But I guess it means that this mod will not work on devices based on x86 processors?

Just for an update: I already received an updated test version by Simone. This is really looking very good. He is still working on another point and I expect another test version soon. So, this is progressing very well. Thanks to Simone by the way, have to say that at that point!

Plan is to release 2.6 stable today, then the 2.7-beta1 will be there for you (with LED fading) expected tomorrow :D

Thanks for the comment. Very happy to read this and glad you like it.

Interface is more user friendly: Hm, hear that the first time to be honest. Most people would wish to have STweaks support. So, interesting feedback.

As for the Boeffla-Sound app - absolutely, see above. A new version is not far away and will address many feedback points of the past 2 weeks.

erm..or i should say the configuration make it easy for us that are not really pro.. :P

Andi, b1 I never lose even 1% whole night after uv to 75mv but when I flashed b2 without change any tweaks I lost almost 10% whole nite without wifi & 3g...Now back to b1 to check the results
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

this is unusual. Changes from b1 to b2 are so minimal, cannot explain any battery drain.

I assume you should reflash, just to rule out it was a somehow bad flash.

Then would recommend to wipe dalvik cache.

If that does not help, look into BetterBatteryStats so we can find out what keeps your S3 awake too much.

I loose around 1-2% during 8-10 hours when in flight mode.

5.1 stable

Hi all,

after a long road, the Android 4.3 Boeffla Kernel finally is released stable:

Version 5.1 stable

27.01.2014

Enable usage of EFS V1 modems, like the popular XXDLIB etc. also on Android 4.3 (be aware these old modems only work if you still have your EFS data in V1 format)

Adjust kernel presets shown in Boeffla-Config V2 app

Users of Zuluman Patch

Hi all users of a patched Modem !!!

If you are using Zuluman Patch, it

might be

with stable version of the kernel it does not work anymore.

I cannot say what needs to be done, but please get in contact with Zuluman if you are facing issues.

For the time being, you can revert back to beta14 until there is a new patch/solution for you. I hope, if you run into trouble, something can be done from script side.

In the meantime, I sent Zuluman a PM, maybe he has a quick idea.

First of all I admit not having read the manual (but I plan to later this week) but I want to know what the Samsung "Power saving" option does. As far as I heard it keeps 2 cores always off. Is this correct?

If I turn it off, with boeffla kernel with what I assume are default settings I feel that the phone heats up.

I'd like to configure the kernel in such a way that it keeps the cores offline when not needed but can turn all of them on (gradually?) when needed.

Will I find this info in the documentation?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] cloudx720:
Just wondering if zram is worth it? did some testing and it appears my phone lags more with it on :( 1 device 300mb. Should I try maybe 2-3 devices say 400mb? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
The Samsung power saving option reduces CPU frequency, GPU frames-per-second and maybe some other stuff we do not exaclty know because we have no code.

In general, it is not recommended to use this with a custom kernel as it might come to conflicts. I never use it btw.

If you want to restrict CPU usage as you said, simply choose governor "pegasusq" with profile "boeffla moderate". This does pretty much what you want.

zRam is only a workaround for not existing physical ram.

But it is as with horse power in cars: Horse power cannot be replaced by something else... apart from horse power.

So, if you do not have launcher redraws or feel you cannot multitask as you want - keep zRam off.

If you face the above, switch it on. And try then with 4 devices and a total size of 600 MB (zRam works dynamically, so nothing bad to go for a big size). But yes, as zRam does lots of I/O potentially, it might sometimes cause some lags. This is system immanent.

And you want say it has something to do with the kernel?

If so, since which version of it?

To be clear again: Mobile connections are handled by the modem, not the kernel.

And just out of my history:

I was with O2 network provider in the past, and there I had this issue as well. And it was a known issue. Since I moved to another provider 2 years go, never had it again.

Suggestion for users who want to use zram

- open boeffla app -> Miscellaneous -> LMK -> increase these 2 values

Empty app = 112mb or 128mb

content provider = 100mb

=> you gonna be ok with zram -> I have got 0 lag with this setting

Then plugin the battery ;) I hope it helps!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
Sir, may I have neewbie-question? Does it mean kernel is connected in some, unknown for me, way with EFS partition format/modem? If I had flashed the old modem, for example XXUFME7 or mentioned by you XXDLIB & then restored my efs V1 backup (I'm currently on EFS V2 as you can easily figure out) on beta 14 or lower version then it wouldn't have work properly? Would it cause IMEI/broadcast lost even with restored efs v1 backup? If so, what specifically makes described procedure above possible in stable 5.1?

Or generally it was impossible to run efs v1 modem on 4.3 & you've just made it workable? But again, what has kernel to do with modem..

Sorry for so many questions, maybe give an answer in free time.. I can wait. :laugh:

I'm really curious, cause for the first time I read that kernel has an impact on EFS/modem. :)

hi

mind sharing your configuration? :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] axetilen:
sorry, you want me to share what type of configuration? zram setting or everything? :)

zram, you can set anything. swappiness should be 60% to balance between seed and battery life. zram size should be =<400mb so system can handle in most cases. number of disks = 2-4 whatever

Im currently testing pegasusQ with my own configuration. My previous is zzmoove yank battery extreme with cpu clock at 1.2ghz. GPU = 166/266

the rest doesnt affect battert life

the tip to ensure system is almost always smooth is changing LMK like what I suggested
