I have bad battery charging vith my 2.8 stable..... 10hours from 23% to 83... too bab... what can i do?

And i think i have battery drain... 3 hours of screen on only... 20 hours of not very often using....

What governor is the most pleasant for boeffla governor, and for the zzmoove opti or battery or perf?

Hi there, is it possible at all to include Perseus's screen calibration and/or charging improvements?

Sounds like a great kernel, does the speed mod tweaks include all or only some? There is quite a list in hardcores thread for speed mod!

Thank you

Re: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.8 (02-03-2013)

The best kernel by miles.. absolute class.

Thanks Andi, brilliant job.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
As for the charging: I assume you use the stock charger that came with your phone, right? Unfortunately it is proven this charger is big crap, leading to all kind of issues. So first thing - replace your charger by a better one, this will definitely fix your charging issue.

For the second: 3 hours of screen on is not automatically bad, it really depends what you were doing with your phone that time. Also it is important to know what the total run time of your phone was.

So for any kind of "battery drain" report, we need more information. 99% of the time it is related to an App or process that just went crazy for some reason.

Cool. Thanks, makes me relax again when you say that :)

As for the screen calibration, I gave the answer already in the past (look here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38534610&postcount=1991 ): Clear no. I am happy with the display, I like the strong colours and personally cannot find anything wrong with it.

Charging improvements: Not likely as the main issue is due to bad quality chargers only. Much better to tackle this issue at the root and replace the charger.

For Speedmod: Yes, all tweaks from Speedmod ramfs are included when you switch governor to "pegasusq - smod" and system tweaks to "smod).

However, of course it is not 100% like speedmod kernel then, as I do many other things differently to speedmod.

Thanks pricey. But still not the end, have many more ideas in mind to be done :)

AndiP: Thank you for the amazing kernel. The phone is working like a charm!!!

Oneclarification: (as you are the best one to answer this question) : Does Beta 29.1 contacins SDS FIX. someone said that there are no traces of SDS on kernel based on update 8 sources. Pardon me if you think this is a stupid question
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
We should strongly assume, Samsung changed the way of fixing the SD by a proper solution in Update8.

So searching for the typical patterns of their hotfix in Update7 is not a good way anymore.

I cannot 100% guarantee it, but I am extremely confident.

But in some way we have to trust Samsung and the fact, they do not want to regenerate a known issue again which would cause a big number of devices sent back for repair to them.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Draygon:
Hello,

Thanks for your kernel AndiP, I'm using it since 2.6 and won't go back!!! :highfive:

I have a question regarding the ZZmove battery profile:

It's lagging for me, while touch boost is disabled. Is this normal? With touch boost enabled, it's working flawlessy (but the battery won't drain faster, right?)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Draygon,

yes, that is known, absolutely.

Using zzmoove AND switching touchboost to off is "too much" for the device to still run smoothly. Many reported that already, but it is system immanent - zzmoove already is optimized for low battery consumption and relies on touchboost to be on.

When using zzmoove, I would recommend to keep touchboost switched on.

Nothing wrong with that :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
Decided to use this kernel today. Just a question on the undervolting and lowering freq. for both GPU and CPU. What is the recommended settings for those? I'm currently on -75mv and everything seems smooth. Battery is not getting that hot (unless i play games). Can i go as low as -100mv or is that too much undervolting already?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
SignetSphere, this really depends on every device individually (manufactoring tolerances). So every S3 behaves differently and the only way to find out is: Try it. There is nothing more than a freeze that could happen if it does not work.

Then reboot and change the setting back.

For instance, my S3 can barely take more than -25mv undervolting. So you are already lucky with -75.

Try the 100 if you want, and let us know.

But also remember: Too much undervolting can cause the system to get instable and then the power saving effects revert and you need even more battery. This is wide experience.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
Guess I'm lucky then lol so... based on your advice I guess i'll stick to my current settings :D Thanks for the amazing kernel :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Draygon:
It's absolutely great how it works with touchboost on. Thanks for your answer. :good:

Re: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.8 (02-03-2013)

Hello, what does sharpness fix and touch boost do? I see no difference and I dont know if enable them or not.

Thanks.

Edit; thank you very much Andip
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I think you could try zzmoove optimized for this, or stick with the boeffla pegasusq moderate.

The good thing, you can try both for a day or two, and then decide which one you prefer :)

All stated in detail here:

http://www.boeffla-kernel.de/index.php/configuration/config-file-app

Regarding the sharpness fix: Yes, it is hard to see, but it is indeed there.

Just look at some fine lines in Icons or symbols in the statusbar and switch, then you should see the difference. But it is not huge, that is for sure.

Touchboost... this is really well explained on the home page I would say.

R: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.8 (02-03-2013)

I'm trying 2.9 beta1 and I would prefer more battery life. So I chose zzmove battery but which scheduler do you suggest me?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
With zzmoove, try BFQ or stay with CFQ default.

Also ROW seems to work fine with zzmoove.

In general, there is no reason why a scheduler would not harmonize with a specific governor. They do completely different and not-connected things.

My recommendations above are only based on user feedback and their experiences.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pard0ned:
Re: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.8 (02-03-2013)

I've been testing zzmove out for about a day. The optimized version creates a fair bit of lag for me. Things like swiping the notification bar down while playing a game lags like mad. Also, sometimes opening the play store after using some processor extensive app makes it lag too.

Am I maybe doing something wrong? I notice a lot of other people are having great experiences with it.

Everything else is stock settings. I've only changed the boeffla sound stuff and the governor, as I mentioned.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sepp0rl:
Re: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.8 (02-03-2013)

Hey again great work with ur kernel. Runs perfect for me.

I encountered only one small issue. My phone sometimes runs out of juice cause i just forget to charge it. So when it has enough juice to start again, i have to do all my settings again in the tweak app.

Is it normal? Iam aware of the fact being clumsy and forgetting about charging my phone... and could avoid that by just chsrging the phone in time...

Re: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.8 (02-03-2013)

Any chance of an AOSP version of this kernel?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] afortes:
Hi andi, First of all i would like to thank you for this amazing kernel, the best i have seen.

I would like to know if Max CPU Frequency interferes with governor. I ask this because i like to have my CPU frequency at 1200 Mhz and I notice with CPU stats that if my governor is Pegasussq battery saving only one core will be on. I think because the load is not enough to kick the other cores. If i select zzmove or moderate It only uses 3 cores.

Shouldn't the governor be dynamic to compensate for over-underclock of CPU?

Im using Boeffla kernel 2.9 Beta 1 on Omega V.43

Best regards Andi for the amazing kernel. Cant wait for a version for android 4.2.1
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hamer221:
Re: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.8 (02-03-2013)

Which app do you use to check cores work?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I leave that to the zzmoove specialists. Like ZaneZam etc. They are most experienced with advising on zzmoove.

No, this is definitely NOT normal. It seems, the app cannot save your configuration.

This is done by writing script files into /system/etc/init.d.

So please check if you have this and if it is a folder.

You can also send me a debug info log file and I check what I can see.

Not at the moment. Reason is: I do only develop what I can test, and I need my S3 running on Sammy based rom for many reasons. If I can afford a second S3 for development purposes one day, this might change.

Hm, you are partially right.

The battery safe governor profile I created is tuning some pegasusq parameters to only add cores when the CPU frequency exceeds 1300 MHz. If you limit this to 1200 MHz, it will never reach that and not add additional CPUs. So it is a kind of a side effect, yes.

If you use frequency limitation, I would recommend to not put frequency lower than 1400 MHz therefore.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tuckycv:
I'm just done reading the last 10+ pages, this is the first time I install a kernel and "play" with setting. I'm settl at Pegasusq- boeffla (battery saving) governor, did undervolting at -50mV I was about to set the smod tweaks, but diddn't since I haven't understand that part very well and are afraid it might interact with the governor, not sure though. I'm aiming at a solid performance and battery life, I'm not looking at having days of usage, I'm settle at having 12 hours of solid usage, I have very long days and lots of travel. My main apps are phone, gmail, sygic, whatsapp and some twitter and browsing for fun if time permits. So far I've been 3 days on this kernel and it's everything I wanted, the problem with smartphones nowadays is battery life, I use my phone as a wrokstation and rely on it to communicate as I am a lot on the street. In short, thanks Andi, great job.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi Tuckycv, just to make it clearer for you:

You can change the tweaks to smod if you like. It does not conflict with governors, I have intentionally avoided any linkages here.

So you are free to combine everything as you like.

AW: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.8 (02-03-2013)

Hi pardoned

Never experienced that so far, but I must say I do not play much games actually. Never had Playstore lags even with 1core setting, hmmm. Can u try to use performance profile for a while and check if it's better then? This profile gives u the most performance of the governor, but on the other hand it scales/hotplugs fast enough to save battery when performance is not needed by the system. Ehm btw. which rom do you use? maybe u have any tweaks bundled with the rom which are clashing with the kernel ones? Just a guess... ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Baxxter13:
I'm on 2.9 beta1 and like @pardoned I'm having serious lags and freezes while playing games. But I dont think its governor related because I first had pegasusq(battery saving) than changed back to pegasusq(default) hoping it will fix the problem but it still exists. Everything is stock except the sharpness fix, usb charging and volume increased to 55.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi Baxxter,

interesting. I cannot comment so much as I never do games, and hence never tried it. But have no lags at all.

a) What rom are you using? (are there scripts in your init.d folder which are from the rom?)

b) Did you have the same issues with 2.8 kernel version?

c) You could try to disable the system tweaks (do not forget to reboot). Sometimes they conflict with tweaks in the rom.

Cool, thanks for the feedback.

I still wait for feedback of someone hearing a difference between oversampling and output mixer bypass. I never heard it, even not in my Galaxy S1 times with original Voodoo sound. Hence, I could not test it myself :)

Good to know. Just a hint: The WM8994 has a hardware equalizer, this is the one which Boeffla-Sound uses (as well as other sound improvements like Voodoo). So it should be really good in theory.

Just there could be a bad coincidence if both the player and the kernel use equalizers as then the effect could multiply etc. So would also say - use only one, the one you prefer.

I am not in favour of implementing that. 200 Mhz should be minimum enough. It does apparently not save any more juice when you go down to 100 MHz. There were lots of debates in other threads on it, without a final conclusion.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sepp0rl:
Re: [KERNEL] [Samsung JB] Boeffla-Kernel 2.8 (02-03-2013)

Well Andi i fixed it. After i set up my phone from scratch again your app saved my settings even tough it was drained completly.

Running ur latest beta now and it just runs like a charm.

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Most asked question probably, so here the standard answer:

Performace: Use lulzactiveq governor with ROW or BFQ scheduler.

Good mix between performance and battery: One of the pegasusq governor profiles, you need to try out which one fits you best in terms of smoothness and battery life (everyone is different in expectations). Scheduler can be still row or bfq, also sio is good choice.

Focus on Battery life: zzmoove governor with one of its profiles. Scheduler maybe BFQ or CFQ recommended.

Give some profiles a try for 1-2 days each and decide which one fits you best.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rutgerhoorn:
I'm having insane batterylife on 2.9beta1.

Governor -ZZmoove Battery

Scheduler - Row

System tweaks - on

Ext4 Tweaks - Off

Using ExperianZe 0.9.5.2 Rom, wich has this great Kernel as default.

Instead of limiting cpu max frequency in the boeffla app i had Samsung powersave on all the time.

Launcher lagged a tiny little bit sometimes, everything else was smooth.

Didn't use my phone a whole lot, but i think these results are damn good.
