Ok now i am asking here, as i belive that i will get answer here :)

Andi,

Back to noot V6 live now.. there are few change list in that i have some question.. If change v6 stock kernel to boeffla 7 stable 2 the below features/changelist will go away?

Change list:

Compiler optimizations for kernel fixed and improved

L1/L2 caches size defined (by JustArchi)

Now uses new ARM instructions set

Full unaligned access enabled

Linaro's power-efficient workqueues merged

Random drivers backported from Linux 3.19 for performance

Westwood as the default TCP congestion control
[Galaxy S III Android Development] marenp:
Of course not, that is changelog of ROM and you are replacing kernel, nothing more.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Some of the features (or better changes) will go away. But none of them is worth not going for Boeffla.

I have a different view on them and this is why they are not in my kernel.

But many of them are rom related as already been answered. Those will stick.

Stock Voltage for CPU

What are the right stock voltages for S3's CPU (Cortex A9) at 1.4Ghz and at 1.6Ghz?

Searching with Google, I read that these are:

1250mV at 1.4Ghz

1300mV at 1.6Ghz

It's true? Why Boeffla's Kernel default values are slightly higher (1300mV and 1400mV respectively)? It's better?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
There are many different stock voltages, this is not a fix voltage in the S3 world.

It depends on the AVS level of your specific device. The AVS level determines the quality of your CPU and this determines the voltage table which your specific device uses.

I think there are 9 or 10 different voltage tables existing.

So, all is good :)

Just your Google search gave you incorrect / incomplete data...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fabiocaruso:
Ok, thank You :) But, If I slightly undervolt them, and the system hangs :( , when I reboot it will automatically charges default values for system to boot or not?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, it will not go back to default voltages.

If you have issues with it and cannot start anymore, go into recovery and flash the reset zip you find in /boeffla-kernel-data on your sd card.

This will reset the kernel to default configuration again.

Andi

error message

whenever i try to flash kernel a error message came

verification failed ..

this message is also coming while flashing custom recovery any suggestion what to do now ........ it will really helpful
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
You need a custom recovery (philz, cwm, twrp etc.) to flash a kernel in recovery.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sarabjit singh:
same message

same message came while flashing recovery .....

verification failed
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Mh, either I do not understand you, or you are missing some basics.

You cannot flash anything in the normal recovery apart from official Samsung updates. So this goes for kernels as well as for custom recoveries and basically anything unofficial.

In order to flash a custom recovery, you need to use Odin, Mobile Odin or Heimdall.

Hope some day i could use boeffla and/or zzmove again.

Just to confirm that 6.2 with my profile runs lovely on QS 3.3 (4.4.2).

Your previous profile OnDemand, according to me, was more aggressive and more ram, but this / OnDemand v2.1 Final / seems to be balanced.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] user2k10:
I am running the latest Boeffla 4.3 kernel on my Samsung Galaxy S3 4.3 stock ROM.

I am trying to get LiveBoot from Chainfire working. It's a new app that he released that displays the logcat / dmesg output during boot. Has anyone else managed to get this working with the 4.3 Boeffla kernel? Maybe Lord Boeffla could comment?

LiveBoot

[Galaxy S III Android Development] k4bbe:
No kernel related issues with the app.

I installed to have a look, out of curiosity ... Output is gibberish to the likes of me [emoji23] [emoji23]

Just install the app, then the script and it's good to go.

I'm running CM11 with 2.4 stable.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
it is functional, but no use to me

Only output from the / boot /
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, the app is not new at all. Lol. Think I have seen it around 2 years ago already. But never used it.

As it displays content of logcat or kernel log, make sure you have both logs enabled in Boeffla Config of course.

But apart from that no clue why it should not work...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] romelrc:
i have the omega rom which comes with its own kernel.

Is it possible to keep that ROM but switch kernel to the boeffla kernel or some other kernel?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GUZGUN:
Of course you can do that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] romelrc:
nice! thanks for the reply!

Do i just install this new kernel or must i delete the old one first?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Just install over.

If you have strange issues, make sure no orphaned scripts are placed in /system/etc/init.d (you can typically safely delete them)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
Guys, thought I'd share my QS 3.3 battery results when used with Boeffla 6.2, i've worked hard and found that this rom offers a truly outstanding experience and battery preservation when trimmed properly!

Here are screenshots of my performance now that I have finished my system app freezing as per my optimisation (in my signature), together with QS 3.3 & Boeffla 6.2 and my ondemand final v2.1 profile. I hoped to hit my 6 hour screen on time (neat rom was impressive with a few minutes over 5 hours) and it looks like I have! :) I have 50% battery remaining and a few seconds over 3 hours screen time in that period of erractic use with Wifi on most of the time.

I'm a happy man! Thanks to QS and Lord Boeffla for making the base for perhaps the best experience acheiveable on the S3 :) :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
It gets installed automatically by the kernel when it boots up first time.

Look in your app drawer, it is called "boeffla-tweaks".

Well, best is to first try to compile the n8020 stock kernel based on Samsung sources. If you managed that, you can grab the commits from my repo and put the ones that you want to apply into your repo.

Thats usually the way forward. But it is hard and cumbersome if you have never compiled a kernel before.

AW: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.6 (17-01-2013)

How can enable custom boot animation again?

I am on omega 40 and since boeffla I have the ugly walking android again.

Had stock Samsung before but somehow boeffla switched it off..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
It is more the other way round: Boeffla switches custom boot animations on. And your rom apparently installed the one you mention.

Easiest is: you delete bootanimation.zip from your /system/media or /local/media folder.

Then it _should_ fallback to standard bootanimation again.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] upss16:
use custom boot animation enable zip

hi just go to the thread from anbeck in s3 apps and themes forum(or another thread omega graphics something). get a zip called custom boot enabler and flash it with CWM. then u can flash any bootanimation zip available in same forum/thread. also can change if dont like it... great work by anbeck.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1897969
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cybdani:
Remember: Custom boot animation is enabled by replacing the file in system/bin/samsungani with bootanimation.

Like this: cp /system/bin/bootanimation /system/bin/samsungani.

If do you want to return to stock anim, you must restore samsungani file.

Deleting /data/local doesn't helps in this case and only shows an android letters anim.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pard0ned:
Re: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.6 (17-01-2013)

You serious? Try them yourself.

I would say boeffla, as would most(if not all) people in this thread.

For me boeffla has the best compromise between performance and battery, plus you can tweak it to you specific needs with boeffla tweaks.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] cybdani:
Andi, just a report.

Some people reported to me that flashing my rom together with your kernel (with init.d kernel settings included) has no battery drain and they getting less battery consumption :good:

I've tested some things in my phone and two boeffla folders remain in data/data even deleting conf file and resetting boeffla settings (from boeffla tweaks app). Deleted this two folders in data/data, deleted init.d folder, deleted all boeffla apps from data/app, rebooted, flashed again beta8 and all is working fine now for me.

Would be great a little optimization in your kernel for batteries like mine too (6000mAh, 12 hours screen usage in stock kernel) :D

2.7-beta9

Hi all,

finally it is here, the last planned beta before stable 2.7:

2.7-beta9

Change log (to beta8):

You can now directly load&flash either the latest stable version or the latest test version in the boeffla tweaks app (easier to upgrade in future)

Dialog windows in many options of boeffla tweaks app are back

CPU max limitation back again, so the CPU will not go over the configured frequency anymore

Internal: Some more logging and debugging removed from some driver

Internal: Some more small optimisations under the hood

Enjoy testing!

This version is likely to become 2.7 stable in 1-2 days. Of course only if there are no catastrophic failure reports coming back from you guys.

Cheers

If you have Agni kernel installed for instance, it saves it's settings in init.d scripts. And they are orphaned after the kernel is deinstalled. Or? ;)

Yes, as said already: Confirmed - do it before.

How to set zram?

And if swappines must be enabled?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Last tab in Boeffla-Config.

And swappiness is set to 80 automatically when you enable zRam in the app.

Only if you want a different setting than 80, you need to put the overwrite switch to on.

But I would assume 80 is a good default to start with.

Andi,

Im on ArchiDroid and currently using Boeffla 5.4 (Latest)...

Do u recommend enabling ZRam and will it by any chance reduce the random lags that Ive been experiencing???

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
HassanM, only yourself can answer that. Give it a try and if it is any good, keep it.

If not, reverse it back.

There are no general answers to this question as every phone is different, different apps, different user behavior.

I usually do not use zram, for me it gets worse with it and I don't need this extra memory.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HassanM:
Thanks mate.... Appreciate your advice.... Ive noticed that most of tge lag happens when either the wifi or mobile data is switched on...

Can u kindly shed some light on it???
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Sorry, do not have a crystal ball at hand. Haha.

Well, if wifi and/or mobile is on, the phone does activetly communicate with the internet. Syncing, Apps checking for updates, whatever... so there is more activitiy naturally as a result. Also handling wifi transfer and even mobile transfer requires CPU power.

So it is quite obvious, the CPU gets more loaded by that and the chances for lags are higher.

Does this kernel are suitable for gaming?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] myshakugan:
Boeffla default settings are the best for a normal user. It's good enough for gaming as well. Then again, I don't play much resource intensive games on my s3, so not sure if that statement's gonna suit you. Just tinker with cpu and gpu settings in boeffla config app and find the sweet spot that suits your needs. Needless to say, only you know how you want to use your phone and so, only you can find the best settings for yourself.

You can also try the power extreme preset in boeffla config app and see how it goes.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Playbooy:
I understand. I wish my system was fast, no lag. And to challenging games such as. Real Racing 3 work smoothly without lag.

What do you recommend? :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Real honest answer?

Purchase a new phone.

S3 is still a good phone, but in terms of hardware and especially memory size it is kinda outdated.

You will feel the limits more and more.

And about gaming: If it works, fine. If not, please check OP again, this is not a kernel tweaked for most gaming performance.

As Andi already said, Boeffla kernel is not tweaked for gaming purposes but for overall performance. If you don't like it or if it doesn't suit you, just use a kernel that does.

I already suggested using the power extreme preset in boeffla config app, but from your behaviour, it seems that you're not interested at all in trying out people's recommendations. If you don't want to listen to answers, stop asking meaningless questions.
