Flashed the new 7.1 kernel and i am all surrounded with bootloops and cant even complete the boot.

Flashing back 6 beta 5 sloved the problem by the way....

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Where did you flash the 7.1 kernel on to?

The 7.1 kernel is ONLY for Android 4.4.4 with the new mali drivers (e.g. back-to-n00t).

So if series 6.x worked for you, 7.x cannot work. It is either or, depending on the rom.

I'm just using this kernel since yesterday. I have to say the deep sleep is perfect on this kernel, but I'm not getting anywhere near the great 'screen on' times as showed in this thread... what are the best settings for heavy users?

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

I could comfortably use my phone 'heavily' without the underclocking and overclocking. Using data only when needed, syncing manually. It's very likely that display brightness is kept to a minimum that's why. But I dunno how heavy is heavy to you. :D

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

Thought I would share my experience, battery-wise

This is debloated stock XXEMA2 with JKAY 14.9 and B-K 2.7 b8. Heavy initial use (3 hours screen time) with heavy syncing, some BT, FM Radio etc. Note the airplane mode sleep - over 9 hours with 1% loss.

Kernel settings all defaults apart from charging currents reduced to stock... and only 1 charge cycle so far.

Very clean flash regime (definitely no backups) and CSC set to BTU straight after flash.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] keymanhattan:
Many Thanks Andi. I reflashed the CodecROM without his bundle ext4 tweek and audio mod. I followed your workaround for reset but skipped the third step. Everything works fine now ! No battery drain, smooth, stable rock :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Fauert:
Hey , you can truly try this Beta :: 2.7 beta 8 , so stabil , fast , and reliable as a final kernel ..... Try it, NO DANGER at all......:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] danmaman:
yeah Fauert

you have right:good:

it's like a final release...i said to Andi he should rename this beta8 in 2.8 stable:laugh::D:fingers-crossed:;):silly:

cheers and greets
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hm, I am still not yet sure whether I should default the three tweaks (system, ext4 and sdcard) to off instead of on now.

This is what holds me back from putting it to stable yet.

And... I have two more small ideas to put in.

I will think about it.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LenAsh:
Not sure why you need to consider having the 3 tweaks default off? As you can see from my post above, no ill effects with them all on...

I suspect most "drain" issues are due to rogue apps, poor ROM config/flash routine/using backups or Location Services going mad in some apps.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
That is the question I currently want to find out - whether there is a correlation of newer firmwares (EMA1, EMA2) and the tweaks.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sepp0rl:
Re: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.6 (17-01-2013)

Well with the second charge circle i would say the heavy battery drain is gone. For me that is a normal battery usage considering my phone usage.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LenAsh:
If you show the other Battery screen instead of that one, or as well as, viewers can gauge your usage better... viz:

PS: some guy on another site is claiming 0.55%/h in flight mode is good... nah, 0.1%/h is good. Nice one Andi.

No.

I've made a full charge after flashing my rom.

Every reboot resets battery stats.

PD: Deleted conf file and reset all settings to default. Reboot. Reboot again battery stats resets. Power off. Power on, reboot, battery stats keeps values.

PD2: Andi, I've included in my rom the init.d folder with my settings and flashed rom with your kernel included (boot.img). I disabled boeffla tweaks and ext4 and rebooted, battery stats was reset every boot after disabling it. And now (after resetting all settings), I get this (screenshot).

7.1 kernel for v4 only and so on..

You can see Arter's post in his thread
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Unfortunately it is not so simple anymore.

It mainly depends which mali blobs are used.

So as a general rule: If the rom of choice runs with 6.x kernel -> stay there, it will not run with 7.x.

And vice versa!

Sorry for this kind of complexity, but it comes from the fact Android 4.4.4 roms are not equal other Android 4.4.4 roms.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wasim625:
Oka. Thankyou for clearing.

Are mali drivers updated in ROMs compatible with your 7.1 kernel?

Or are they same in all 4.4.4 ROMs..?

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
You ask good questions, only the various rom devs can answer.

Apparently back-to-n00t V4 and V5 require mali version 29 (at least pretending this version), while the former versions were fine with 23 etc.

So, it is unfortunately a try and error mainly.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ghoster76:
Yeah I saw your new OnePlus One, but I also disappointed with S4 forum, it seems like there's no kernel developer :crying:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Honestly, does not surprise me.

Most people that had/have a S3 skipped the S4 as it is a fairly unappealing device when you had a s3.

Thats also the reason why I was not attracted by it. No innovations compared to S3, even some steps back like no WM audio hub in some variants etc.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abhibnl:
Guys, regardless of all the info from andi and arter, i know some of you will flash the wrong version. So please i would like to comprehend the whole thing like this,

1. If 6x series kernel works for you, 7.1 WILL NOT.

2. 7.1 kernel is ONLY compatible with back to noot v4 and any v5 as of now. DO NOT flash it on v1 or v2 or any rom based on those two versions.

Hope this post will help atleast some of you.

Hi [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION], I just had a sudden reboot and was to save the last_kmsg logs. Could you kindly have a look at what triggered my sudden reboot (still on 4.4.2 beta 6 on Archi's port)?

Comeback to 6.1 beta 5
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Exactly... it does not mean 7.1 will work on all Android 4.4.4. based roms. There are more factors, unfortunately it is not so easy anymore as it depends also on used mali blobs.

So either 7.1 or 6.1 should work however, just try both of them.

Great to hear, thanks for the feedback.

Very true, typical copy&paste issue. I will correct it of course...

Not a lot to see:

Does not help alot as the reason cannot be figured out here. Internal error is quite useless information.

So sorry, cannot investigate any further.

But yeah, I just say it again: The ported roms / kernels might not be 100% stable, and will never be. Thats something we have to accept when we use it.

Andi the new v7 beta 6 is runing great, the KK arter port with it really flies :good:, but one thing: I can't change the zram parameters, only I can set it ON or OFF. Normally I don't use zram, but with this rom I will try it, but I want to start with less than 600mb.

Thank you as always for your great job :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
Alright, guys, guess I found a "reason" for stuttering animations after boot. The thing is, sometimes I need up to 50 reboots to boot up with smooth animations (really, lol, I'm suffering from this issue already for months and my phone already got restarted more than 500+ times since then).

Alright, I noticed boeffla app showing low RAM and that's only when the phone stutters after boot. I hate restarting my phone on 4.3, always try to stay steady after lucky boot up!

Anyways, can anyone tell me what's the cause, can that be fixed? I'm really frustrated with my S3 and feel like I'm going to throw it against the wall. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abhibnl:
To be honest, debloated 4.3 or 4.4 can give you a great ram experience. I flashed AD 1x barebones, debloated ir further and i always had 250-300 ram available and on fresh boot, 350+mb free ram.

Since I'm running into abit of stability issues with the 4.4.4 KK port, although I love the smoothness of KK but I'm thinking to restore my nandriod 4.3 stock rom. My issue from 4.3 though stems with what I believe are throttling issues, because my Nova Launcher never stays in memory after a day or two (redraw issues) and the ram is always in the low to mid 700MB usage despite having a ton of stuff greenified and some apps frozen with TB.

Say if I will remove the Samsung bloats manually with Titanium, will it give the same effect (free more ram) as when developers say their rom is de-bloated of Sammy's apps?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HassanM:
Thats indeed a good idea... By the way which Rom are u using??

I personally believe S3 will always have a RAM management issue (with its 1GB) no matter how much u debloat your KK ROM.... Its just like running Windows 8 on old low-ram Pentium processors....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ShonkUK:
What is 7.1beta6 based on i9305 or n7100?

how easy would it be to port over to the i9305
[Galaxy S III Android Development] skingg:
My KK is debloated, Archi's 4.4.2 port. It's flying but it tends to corrupt my whatsapp messages randomly, pops up a "com.xxx.process has stopped working" error and stuff, though rebooting the phone reverts everything back to normal for awhile atleast. The other bummer is the usb audio out to my Fiio E18 portable dac amp has stopped working :(

Stock 4.3 rom (bloated Sammy) rom with Boeffla does not have these random issues, instead it tends to throttle (I think) my system causing alot of redraws from my Nova Launcher; clearing ram for some reason increase the ram usage instead of decreasing it like usual. Thus I'm wondering if manually uninstalling the correct Sammy apps from system will infact 'debloat' and free more available ram. And by the way, stock 4.1.2 JB was ultra smooth with non of these issues whatsoever so I'm quite puzzled by what went wrong.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
It's based on arter97's 4.4.4 port of korean S3 variant. About the level of difficulty on how to port I'm not sure? Doesn't boeffla kernel already have a port for I9305? Here's the thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/kernel-boeffla-kernel-5-3-beta3-t2322893

back-to-n00t = ArterPort v5

Extremely debloated, with Nova Launcher Prime, and many stock programs replaced with faster ones (chompSMS,unlimited call log, etc.)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
My phone was also ultra fastsmoothbuttery with 4.1.2. Performance was a dream on my phone. Since I upgraded to 4.3, even downgrading to 4.1.2 doesn't help. Now it lags on 4.1.2, too, which is strange.

As for the 4.3, that redraws are odd. Try to not leave apps open when you lock your phone and play with zRam settings, as well as with LMK settings. Or you may try other 4.3 build, also.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] skingg:
I've tried with and without zRam as well as fiddle around with LMK settings and on both Agni and Boeffla kernels, no dice :( I'm trying to look for a debloated stable stock 4.3 sammy rom that works well with Boeffla kernel, any recommendations?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
And what about not leaving apps open while phone is asleep? After that, phone really starts to struggle, veeery bad. Also, there may be an app doing that.

As for ROM, my recommendation would be to just flash stock deodexed ML2 or MK6 ROM from JustArchi, debloat everything, what is safe, remove or freeze all stock apps and find an alternatives. Just change everything (eg: dialer app, messaging app, launcher, memo, browser, keyboard, gallery). Find alternatives to nearly every Samsung app and you should be happy. And again, watch for first tip, it really makes a difference!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:

By not leaving apps open while phone is asleep do you mean clearing the ram everytime before screen off? If this is the case then no, I always leave apps cache in memory while greenify do its automation while my phone is asleep. But I'll take note of it when I go back to 4.3 although come to think of it, I probably should start clean than restoring my nandroid backup. Is there no Samsung app that you keep? :p
