Hi, I am using samsung stock 4.3 rom with boeffla 5.4 beta2. I am facing a problem not sure if related to the kernel. When I open whatsapp it took me like 3 to 5 sec to show the chat screen. Can I do anything about it?

I am using zzmove battery yank as governor, zen for both internal and external storage, 512kb cache for both.

Thanks in advance.

Hello!!

I am using boeffla 6.0 on QS KK ROM. Everything works good (so far) but I noticed when I ever the phone reboots the kernel resets itself. All the settings revert back to defaults. I have to manually change all the settings again back to where I had set them before the phone rebooted.

Is it normal? Or am I missing something?

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ok, will do today.

Nobody else interested in giving a test build a try, to see if the graphical glitches are gone? (I cannot test it, I never saw them...)

Most certainly not related to kernel and settings.

But to rule out, you could change the governor to pegasusq once and test it.

Also the rest of your settings would be interesting to know (especially if you limited frequencies etc)

No, this is absolutely not normal.

Are ALL (really ALL) your settings gone after a reboot? Or just some of them like governor/schedulers etc? (which could mean another app or an init.d script is interfering)

After a reboot, do you see the message of boeffla config in the statusbar about a loaded profile?

Worst case, create a debug info file in the Boeffla Config app and send it to my support address please. Then I can have a look.

Okay but that's a commit, I'm asking about source :D.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wasim625:
Sorry :/ I am a noob as far as kernels and ROMs are concerned dont know whats normal and whats not.

Coming to the issue. I have not tweaked the kernel that much. For instance I have changed the governor to zzmoove reduced the charging volt back to 1000 mA. enabled boeffle sound engine. Enabled touch wake and thats it. As far as mu this settings are concerned YES they all revert back to the original values amd I have to change them all one by one once the fone is rebooted.

Hi Archi,

exFat 1.2.7 is part of latest Samsung Kitkat kernel code drops, e.g. in GT-N7100_KK_Opensource_Update1.

Go into /fs/exfat folder, there it is.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
That's a shame because they keep their sources totally desynced with others.

I.e. broadcom wireless drivers (drivers/net/wireless/bcmdhd) or these exfat drivers. In stock i9300 sources they're in version 1.2.5 in drivers/exfat, in n5100 they're in fs/exfat in 1.2.7 :rolleyes:.

Thanks anyway, if you notice any other updates let me know.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I think, their rule is:

JB 4.3 source drops, 1.2.4 or 1.2.5 exFat driver.

All KK source drops -> 1.2.7.

At least when building my kitkat n80xx kernel yesterday, I noticed 1.2.7 is also contained in that source drop.

Well, nothing very special. I do not think this is at all kernel related, as said.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wasim625:
Quick question::

The sharpness and display crisp of a display depends on the kernel we using not the Rom actually, right??

For example: samsung 4.4.2 has more crisp and sharp display than 4.3 (well dont know but that's what I experienced when I upgraded from 4.3 stock to 4.4.2 port n7100 stock) so actually this change was due to thw kernel upgrade. Not because of the ROM upgrade.

Am I right? ?

Please help.

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Almost correct, it is a combination of MDNIE drivers implemented in the kernel + MDNIE scenario configured in the rom.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wasim625:
Thankyou for your response.

So can we say that we would have same sharpness and display crisp as on 4.4.2 using boeffla if we use the boeffla kernel on 4.3..

Right?

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
At least speaking for my kernel until 6.1-beta2, yes. Same MDNIE implementation than my Android 4.3 kernel (5.4-beta2).

hey lord,

i saw on alot of KK-Port ROMs that the [OP] says "Wifi direct and screen mirroring works with AGNI kernel"

does it work with this kernel too, or what?

well that does not stop me from using your kernel but i just want to know :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] malachow:
You must be on the stock kernel. The best you can do now to get boeffla:

#1 reflash your current rom without any wipes (& in case aroma with few kernels choose stock one)

#2 let device boot

#3 reboot to CWM, flash boeffla

Fortunetely you can't repeat those steps while just updating boeffla.. :3

Nope, this thread is made for both versions - 5.X (android 4.3) & 6.X (port 4.4.2). Separate thread was only created for series 2.X (AOSP).

Screen mirroring is still broken afaik, but Andi has some plans to fix this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
WIFI Direct is not yet working on the test build you have.

Screen Mirroring - here I need testers, I have no clue. Although I have an Allshare Cast Dongle, just need to find it again after my relocation, hehe.

To anybody using Screen Mirroring with the ported 4.4.2 roms: Is there anything special required, any replacement of DLLs etc? I think without this it would never work (regardless which kernel), or am I wrong? At least in 4.3 this was required as the device does not have status official anymore with a custom kernel.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

thanks for the info.

I will upload a new test version for all the brave testers for the 4.2.2 ported kernel. As the graphical glitches are now reported to be gone, this new test build will also have WIFI Direct working.

Probably this means Screen mirroring is now working as well, as this uses WIFI Direct technologies in the background.

So, you could help me most if you would test my new test build. Interested?

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] poker1234:
sure i am interested but is it right that i must reflash the whole rom to get rid of the custom kernel and can flash another custom kernel ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
ALL: I found my Allshare Cast Dongle again after some search (relocation is always bad for some things)... and I can confirm with my new test build both Screen Mirror and Wifi Direct works now on the 4.4.2 ports.

The new version is uploaded for all testers under their known dropbox link as 6.1-beta3test2.

Enjoy!!!

No, I think it is enough to just flash my kernel over, install the config app and you should be done then.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I can confirm with the new test build I just uploaded to the dropbox link you know, both is working fine finally.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orangerot.:
No, you can flash any custom kernel over your existing one. Maybe you can use a cleaning script to get rid of old kernel configs just to be safe.

To get back to stock you don't have to refresh the whole ROM (although it'd be the easiest way). You can get the kernel image from your rom zip(it's called boot.img and should be found in the root of the zip) and copy it into a custom kernel zip (delete the custom kernel in the zip first) and then flash it like any other kernel..

[Galaxy S III Android Development] SaschaKH:
Well normally there should be no problem if you just want to change the kennel. At least if the former kernel leaves nothing back that can make problems. See here what can happen: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=54675276

So normally it should give no problems but you might need to reset something in the old kernel first.

After 3 days on 2.7b6 I could say the drain issue is persistent. A part of this the kernel is stable and smooth. Now I ve came back to 2.6.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hm, let's wait for beta8 to become released for public.

I have not clue why you are facing drain, but I am reluctant to search before we tried beta8 as it has many changes in.

Personally (without having checked what the app exactly does) I am not encouraging users to use kind of suspicious "lagfix" apps that mysterically fix lags somehow. I am always a bit, hm... at least not convinced.

It would be quite easy to port it to n8020. But I have a general rule: I do not develop anything for a device I do not own. Because I cannot test and this makes error tracking and fixing too hard for my limited time.

Deal: You get me a n8020 and I make the kernel for you :D

Yes, same here. Absolutely no lag.

But again... beta8 is the next milestone where we can search then a bit more in detail about it if it still exists.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cybdani:
I never had lag with your kernel. I think it's rom related, not kernel fault. No lag in version 2.6 or 2.7 beta.

Only a little thing. Testing sd read in antutu, gives a poor score if sd card tweak is enabled in kernel settings. If disabled it reports a normal read score. But it is not a cause to have any lag, because speed is not going down.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ok, this very much depends on the used sd card. Thats why you can switch it off :)

So everyone can have what he/she wants...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] cybdani:
Well, battery drain has been solved in beta 6 by disabling boeffla system tweaks (setting to stock) after flashing kernel. Then enabling manually again. But in beta8 this problem has been solved. Sure 100%.Doesn't matters if you flash the kernel with a full rom, coming from a stock kernel, coming from another boeffla kernel version, wiping all data or not. Now i'm getting 1% down every hour USING phone, not only in deepsleep. There is not wakeups when phone is in deepsleep. After 6 hours 12 min, I have 94% from 100%.

Hope this helps.

Hi just for reference heres a few screen shots from BetterBattery Stats and battery usage from settings

during the week being at work i dont use my phone a lot (just sits in my pocket viewed a few time to see the time till i can clock off and go home lol)

As you can see from the screen shot I get a lot of kernell wakelocks just thought they might help solve any battery drain issues

Also there is a screen shot from Partial wakelock most are just general gps an wifi updates to apps installe (google maps, news ect)

I have no knowledge as to what the kernel wakelocks are as i said above just posting reference to maybe help AndiP tweak kernel

although I read in the latest post beta8 fixes these so cant wait ;)

2.7-beta8 arrived

Hi guys,

2.7-beta8

is now available for you.

Testers gave 100% positive feedback on all various aspects where they reported issues with previous betas. So I think this is a great step forward now in terms of stability, battery life and features.

2.7-beta8 Change Log (vs. 2.6. stable)

Boeffla-Sound Engine updated to 1.4.9 (call issues confirmed to be fixed, note: Mic-Mode is now less intelligent and you have to set it back to default before you can do calls again!!!)

Charging level interface replaced by a new version which allows to configure ac and usb rates more independently in the tweaks app + usb charge rate zero (=does not load at all) is now allowed (experimental)

LED fading support, you now can choose to have fading with "normal" brightness (as stock) or with "bright" brightness (like it was with beta1).

For a demo video of this feature, please klick here (thx to Andreas61 for the video)

(please note: default is off, like stock. you need to enable this either in the boeffla-tweaks app or via the config file).

Please note: For Samsung "apps" like stock sms app or the missed calls thingy it does not fade. Hell knows what Sammy has done here. But with 3rd party apps (whatsapp, sms popup, k9 mail...) it should work fine.

Boeffla-Tweaks app: You can switch between UMS or MTP mode for your external SD card without needing other apps (e.g. UMS Easy...) anymore. Explanation: UMS mode mounts your external sd card via a drive letter to your pc.

Boeffla-Tweaks app: Options under "Others" reordered and slightly renamed.

Boeffla-Tweaks app: You can now wipe cache and dalvik cache with a new option under "other". It will reboot automatically afterwards.

Boeffla-Tweaks app: Option to directly reboot into recovery mode (CWM)

Boeffla-Tweaks app: Option to directly reboot into download mode

Boeffla-Tweaks app: Now you can directly flash a new Boeffla-Kernel without using CWM or Odin or mobile Odin. You just place the boeffla-kernel-blablalba.tar.md5 file directly in the root directory of your /sdcard folder. Then you press the option to flash and it will automatically flash and restart your phone.

Important: Make sure you have only one (!) kernel file in this root directory, otherwise nothing will be done.

Completely refactored system tweak settings (changing the settings in the app requires a reboot now, but this is the cleanest way to not mess up the system)

I don't like the scaling on hot plug governors, that's why I like ondemand, though not dual core in operation I would have thought it would suit you well?

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Nah, I've tried ondemand before. Keeps all governors active even on idle. I like to use dual since I'm barely using my phone after i started working so the extra battery would be handy. I was thinking something along the lines of lulzactive q but dual core. Has very good performance/battery scaling and on dual core would be even better.

Do you think that would be possible?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZaneZam:
with zzmoove moderate, already tried?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Yeah, already did. Tried them all, actually. But I'm looking for something like zz performance but dual core or something alike. Would love the option to run any governor in different core modes besides pegasus Q. By the way, now that you're here, what's the difference between moderate and optimal?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
You can force cores to be non active if you have the donation version of beoffla app?

You simply need to play with the hotplug values to achieve it, have you looked at that yet? It can be tricky, I have not wanted that scenario so I have not played, but you should be able to achieve your goal!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
I figured so. I don't have the paid version either. Thanks for the heads up though.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:

6.1-beta3 !!!

Hi all,

after I got a ton of good feedback from the pre-testers of the Android 4.4.2 kernel 6.1-beta3, I decided to give it out to you now.

Want to take the opportunity to say a big "THANK YOU" to the testers that were brave testing my experiment.

It should now fix all remaining known issues like graphical glitches, wifi direct, screen mirroring etc. Also in my tests battery life was surprisingly good with Archiport beta1.

I hope you enjoy it as well.

Version 6.1-beta3

16.08.2014

Kernel code merged with Samsung n8000 kitkat kernel code, which means:

Graphical glitches are gone away !!!

Wifi direct working !!!

Screen mirroring working !!!

Battery life significantly improved !!!

Update to zzmoove 0.9-beta4 (credits to ZaneZam)

Support for external OTG connected webcams

adbd daemon fixed

Ramfs updated to Archiport beta1 rom (XXUFNE2 based)

Please note, you have to reset LMK values to standard values DIRECTLY after having flashed the kernel and reboot.

Or you completely reset the kernel settings before/after the reboot.

If you have strange FC errors, it is a sign the old LMK configuration got applied which is causing trouble as it changed.

Enjoy

[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
Oh I'm really sorry. I didn't see your post.

/preload isn't used at all for any rom flashing or for storage. It's just literally an empty partition. I think that's where rom downloads are held when you're on pure stock and you download an OTA. But since we're custom rom flashers, that definitely doesn't apply to us.
