I'm on ARHD v50 + Boeffla kernel v5.2 beta 6a + Wanam Xposed...

All I can say is... It's a killer concoction...

My phones never been such a beast before honestly...

Would recommend you do a full wipe...

To my good luck or bad luck... I had to restore stock Sammy on my phone... So I had to start from scratch... But totally worth the time & effort...

Hi ZZ

Currently i am on 5.2beta6a with your battery extreme saving and so far without much lagging and batter life is great easily 4hours SOT, i do play game like candy crush and only occasionally facing lagging issue and by setting scalling_block_cycles to 0 will it cause lagging?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] megen:
This topic is realy a big off topic more than you thought my friend. Afaik the gravitybox is a modul of well known Xposed Framework. So i can say that there should be nothing related with the kernel that is being used in the rom. So my suggestion to you is to find an answer in their discussion threads. Good luck ;)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Max4000:
Is there any chance to implement this patch (http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/SamsungGalaxyBackdoor) into the next beta?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Max4000: Yes, certainly it is. I already modified the patch to work on the Samsung 4.3 kernel.

However, before I do something with it I want to do more reading about the fix. If it is good and does not break anything else, I can put it in of course.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZaneZam:
well no the opposite should be the case, by setting it to 0 there is no more break in scaling so it will go up as fast as possible. i dunno candy crash (but i think i should try it as many many people are playing it *g*) so i dunno how much it stresses the system and if u face any temperature issues due to high freq. just try it and u will see, but it should definitely bring lesser lags!

Hm, I reviewed the topic now. But this patch is not a fix for the backdoor, it is a proof-of-concept for it.

So I am not gonna implement that of course, I do not need to prove the backdoor ;)

This is not enough information to help you.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] keneth_c:
Just realized today... That when I get incoming calls... My phone rings... But screen is still blank for a couple of seconds...

Anyone facing the same?

This isn't kernel related? Is it? Hmmm...

Edit:

I'm on ARHD v50 (NA8 firmware)...

--
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Onraad:
Yeah I'm facing the same. There is always a delay between ringtone/vibration and my screen turning on to see who's calling. However, since I don't have voicemail activated it is not a problem for me. Can't honestly remember when this 'issue' started, and if it's ROM/kernel related.

I'm on Neat 7.0/Boeffla beta 6a.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
It is an issue with Samsung 4.3 firmware on Exynos SoC.

It is the well-known "wakeup lag" since 4.3, which you also encounter when you press the home button after the phone was in deep sleep.

But, you can verify it yourself by:

- flash stock kernel

- check

- flash boeffla-kernel again

- reset settings in app to have comparable situation

- check

I bet you will see no difference :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] keneth_c:
I trust you blindly my lord :D

However I don't think it's the issue with all JB 4.3 persay... Since I didn't have this issue when I was on ARHD v40 (JB 4.3 again but prior to MK6 I believe!)

Anyhoos... Thanks for the clarification...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Maceee:
I have been testing v5.2b6a for more than 30 hours and I just want to inform anyone that in my experience battery life is much much better than with some earlier releases as the performance is better too. This version is truly the best in my opinion. Thanks for great work and active support. Good luck to developer and all the others.

[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION]

my lord maybe you can aswer to a my doubt!... i noticed that the s3 sometimes strangely suffer from struttering on animations and app opening...but is not a problem of configuration or apps...the strange thing is that other times is iperfluid on animations and opening apps, sometimes just not (even with all apps closed)... is like something make throttle the processor (or gpu or sdcard?)...i use no overclock and no undervolt! The same thing happened with all governors and even with stock kernel...i have no initd script...maybe can be the rom(neat 6.4)?

anyway perfmon looks like all is fine,the cpu work ok (all cores active when needed)...

and...if i remeber good even with stock kernel!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kingalessandro:
I tried this few days ago .. same situation with boeffla kernel and stock kernel so it depends on fw..

Now i'm on b6a , no issues , battery life is perfect , yesterday 5h screen on :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ymy3890:
wow! 4 to 5 hours SOT...:highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I doubt it was better with stock kernel. At least not when you are on a real stock rom.

Always make sure you are using a quite up to date firmware, I propose something based on XXUGNA7 (as I included its ramfs in the kernel as well).

Exactly. That's what I said :)

I constantly have around 4-5 hour screen-on time. Should not be too unusual if the circumstances like good, clean wifi and good mobile signal reception are given. And of course no apps working all the time on something in the background. I disabled many syncs, have only my Google contacts+calendar, Push of 2 accounts via k-9 mail and periodically a twitter update (plume) running.

This is for me a very battery saving setup.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kingalessandro:

I'm very happy with latest release on top of neatrom but free ram is getting low and only a reboot cleans it. With stock kernel I have a little more free ram and when I click on the clean button it cleans up quit nice. Is it the same for you guys?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Would surprise me, as I have not changed memory allocation.

Only difference is: Stock kernel comes with 300 MB zRam preconfigured. Boeffla comes without unless you enable it.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ciprigeorgiu:
What is the recommended value for zram and swapiness? I know it might differ from user to user but still...in your experience what works best?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I do not use it, as I do not need it.

On Stock Samsung rom, using only my lean apps, I have no memory issues at all.

And I prefer to not have any lags caused by zRam (which is system immanent).

But... you can set it to 4 devices, total size 300 and swappiness is automatically set to 80 then. Try it.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sassinapoli:
Thx. I have memory issues (ram set to 700mb) . Try this method!

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Just to state one thing again:

Android does not free up memory unless this is required for something else.

Means: Having all memory utilized is NOT BAD but design goal of Android.

Just to avoid you have wrong expectations about the memory display in rom or kernel.

You only have a memory issue if you

- cannot multitask at all

- have hot reboots due to cache pressure

Wanted to make this point quickly :)

1. I put in the USB OTG adapter that I have, and plugged in the drive directly into the phone. Then I tried to access the USB stick with Root Explorer.

2. It's a PNY 16GB USB 2.0 stick formatted in FAT32

3. Absolutly nothing happens. I expected I would be able to browse the contents of the drive, and be able to use it.

I'm using Battery Stats so it makes it easier (step wise).

Either way... Thanks for the tip. I'm laughing at myself for not knowing that the battery percentages can be clicked for details... Lol!

Keep the Update SuperSU zip file on your device before you unroot completely. In case of some serious issues, you can just boot into recovery and flash the zip file if need be. This is assuming you have custom recovery already...

The latest version is 1.93 by the way. You can get it from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

--
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, ok. USB Fat32 Stick is even supported by any stock kernel.

Where did you look for it?

You need to look into /mnt/UsbDriveA ... UsbDriveF.

Usually it gets mounted on one for these subdirectories.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] keneth_c:
Did you check the same with stock file browser / ASTRO / EFS...

I haven't had an issue when using a USB that is FAT32... Pretty sure it's FAT32 as most to all my USB are formatted in that format.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ciprigeorgiu:
I turned on Zram, left the stock settings(4 devices, 100, 80 swapiness) and now My memory doesn't fill up like before. I know it's not a problem to have little free ram available but when this threshold goes above 750mb phone starts to lag. If it's under 700 all run smooth. Also I play the game Threes and without zram enabled I have no chance in palying it as it uses lots of ram. Battery life seems to be the same. Thanks for your feedback. Your kernel is trully the best.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] johan81:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] duffymm:
Sorry for being so "off-topic" but.... seriously....

how the hell samsung have this so stupid approach to rom building ?

what the hell are those CSC, this stupid rom release based on country/network operators/csc resulting in this stupid rom changelist number

sorry for the offtopic
[Galaxy S III Android Development] johan81:
Ahhh, yeah, am pretty tired here after a night shift, seems to be showing now ;)

The XXDLIB uses efsV1 as far as I could find out, I am wondering why you are using this modem, what is so good about it? If it has its perks I might consider going back to that one too, I have a backup of a previous efsV1, so that should be possible for me. Sorry if you think this is too off-topic and I will let it go unanswered.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Haha, sorry, I really do not have an answer for you on that.

Don't ask me, please ask Samsung. I cannot tell you, seriously.

Maybe just to make things a bit more complicated :)

Well, it seems for my area and mobile provider this is still one of the best modems. Maybe it is placebo, but I have decent quality of phone calls, good internet connection and happy about the battery life as well.

For me, it turned out just to be very good.

On top, I use the same modem on my Development-S3, as XXDLIB is the proposed modem for CM based roms (RIL etc).

So, have the same config on both phones, which makes it simpler for me too.

Update: As some of our readers pointed out, the Galaxy Note 2′s model number is wrongly listed in the image (SM-N7100 instead of GT-N7100), so it’s possible the image could be fake, unless someone at Samsung made an unintentional mistake.

beside of removing apps/scripts which can influence LMK values in addition you could try to rise "additional boot delay" in app settings to for example to 5 seconds or more. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] boyheadkick:
It's simple...find a rom that is debloated and clean and fits your usage as well as goes very well with boeffla kernel...in my case it's archidroid...i run a severely debloated archidroid rom, when i rebuild dalvik cache there are only 133 apps that are optimized (and from what i understand that is the total apk's you have in your rom, data and system, course i could be wrong)...and out of those 133 apps, i have 37 user apps, so that makes less than 100 system apps...turn off all sync and greenify what needs to be greenified..that's pretty much it :D

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Try ArchiDroid 1.X, it gives an option to select things you use in aroma installer, and then removes unselected things.

In addition to that I removed about ~250 MB of bloat and put in bloatware.zip for standalone flashing (if someone needs), so actually I'd say that you can freeze/remove about 300 MB.
