No, definitely NOT normal :)

A few things:

- make sure you do not have another app that configures LMK later on during boot up process, after kernel set it

- maybe the kernel cannot apply the settings, in order to answer that I would need a debug info file sent by you (menu action in app)

Well, generally I always advice try all possible governors for around 1 day and select what you like most.

I personally go with zzmoove - battery yank most of the time. For me perfect fit between battery and performance.

This might be already the explanations. Many custom roms come with their own tweaks the fit pretty fine for the stock kernels configuration. But Boeffla comes with own tweaks already, that is why I always propose roms that are either Samsung stock standard (this is what I use) or really well done roms like ArchiDroid which are lean and made by people that do understand what the tweaks do instead of putting everything (also crap) in.

Omnirom Boeffla-Kernel, but please move over to correct thread for CM/Omnirom.

Andi what about NB6 rom ??, is the upgrade justified ??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Viktor, good question. My results are not yet 100% conclusive.

The first day on NB6 was a nightmare, I had huge battery drain (r2_hsic). But this might have been due to a router configuration change I did the same time.

Also I double checked all my settings and restarted etc.

Now it looks pretty ok from a battery drain perspective. Performance is on the same level than NA5/NA7 as far as I would say. I have not really noticed any difference so far.

So, I would currently not see that as a must-have update when you are on NA5 or NA7 based firmware.

But I am charging now and want to verify and confirm the battery drain issue is not coming back.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] johan81:
What browser do you use? I never get more than 2 hours with the same settings you have. I use Chrome as my browser and it seems that is the most likely culprit, it always is in the top two in the battery stats.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] you_man:
Hi, Victor.

I update ArchiDroid V1.7.12 [XXUGNB6].In my opinion the battery started to show a little better results. But most of all pleased modem. Communication has become more confident and keep a better battery consumption.

GNB6 rom + GNA8 modem = better battery life.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sp0r0s:
i am a little confused. i see this "new" XXUGNB6 kernel the neatrom has and i wonder boeffla kernel is based on what kernel?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Boeffla-Kernel can only be based on latest sources Samsung provides to us devs, and this is Samsung Update 13 from end of last year roughly.

So it is not based on UGNA5, 7 or whatever.

The initramfs however is currently taken from UGNA7 kernel, soon will move up to EGNB6.

However, the current Boeffla-Kernel beta runs just fine with all firmwares incl. NB6 firmware. So no need to be concerned or confused.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DyNamix_:
i'm using samsung's stock browser

forgot to mention. using ARHD 50.0 rom, disabled all the bloatware by samsung & google ( this improved my battery life ) turned location reporting and location history off, i almost turned off every google service. + downloaded greenify

Anyway you can download better battery stats and you can check what's draining you battery ;) good luck
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sp0r0s:
i get it now. thanks... its funny to use boeffla kernel for so long and have a wrong idea of what it is :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gieffe22:
pretty the same here too...battery and performance are nearly identical as NA7...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
To be honest, I have no idea what is initramfs, but question is: it's better to match the rom with a kernel that has the corresponding initramfs ?? (NB6 + Boeffla with NB6 initramfs)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
@ Andi I flashed JustArchi's Sammy Stock Deodex XXUGNB6 Rom and 5.2beta6a

The Rom Have these two(00ARCHIDROID_INITD & 99SuperSUDaemon) files in /system/etc/init.d

i want to confirm that these file are safe to remove with Boeffla-Config "Clean init.d folder" ..:confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, most of the time this does not make any fundamental difference, to be honest.

But in general I recommend to be not too far away between rom and the kernels initramfs.

It is a complex thing, so I cannot answer this better in an understandable way. In short, the initramfs are the programs that are used during kernel start and initialisation (like loading processes, modem, initializing hardware, mounting file systems etc).

I just can confirm, the stable release of the kernel will use NB6 initramfs.

I do not know what is in Archis script, so hard to say. But as I know Archi does not put crap into his scripts, I think you should keep it.

Same for SuperSuDaemon, otherwise you risk to loose root.

So I would recommend to keep both scripts in.

Stock kernel of the latest B6 firmware is extremely smooth and battery life is awesome, lost no battery at all after four hours with aeroplane mode on still 100% battery! :D but with andi's kernel battery drains quite a lot when idle, even with aeroplane mode enabled ? :s
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HassanM:
This is what im experiencing as well... Cant figure out why... [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] plz look into it
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
If aeroplane mode is enabled, I lose something like 1% in 2-3 hours. Which I think is ok.

If it is more, check wake locks in BBS.

Or stick to stock kernel if you do not need the extra functions of Boeffla.

But in general I see again the tendency to complain about things without giving any useful data. This makes it impossible to help, and my tendency is rather to ignore posts like that in future.

"andi's kernel battery drains quite a lot when idle"... what does it mean? Without numbers this is absolutely useless.

Nope, nothing I can do.

Who knows which code Samsung used to build the NB6 kernel? Maybe a new code base we do not have.

On the other hand... it might be latest beta does not play very well with NB6 roms, due to the different initramfs.

I use already a next version with NB6 initramfs included, did not want to release that before stable. But maybe I should... hm.

In general: Are you comparing apples to apples, i.e. did you reset Boeffla-Kernel to standard settings before you compare it to stock?

Because with wrong configuration you can of course mess up the whole system and have bad performance and bad battery life.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] HassanM:
Andi already sent u PM...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ok, as I have been asked how people can be more precise and helpful:

When you report things like "battery gets drained"... this is not helpful because it is completely subjective.

What I need is:

- from how many percent to how many percent over which period of time? (not something like it drains 5% per hour, I need to know if it drains from 95 to 90% or from 15 to 10% as this makes hell lot of difference)

- I need to know which connections are on? wifi, mobile

- I need to know what kind of syncs are configured

- I need to know the deep sleep rate during this time (you can set a reference in the boeffla-config app in the first screen, then after 1 hour check deep sleep % again)

- I need to know your mobile and wifi reception (is it good, or rather bad)

- I need to know the wake locks during that time, both partial wake locks and kernel wake locks (use Betterbatterstats app for this)

Without that data I am afraid, I cannot say anything useful that would help you. It would just just wild guessing in the dark...

Again: Kernel contribution to battery consumption is close to nothing unless something is severly broken. 95% of your battery consumption comes from Rom processes, Apps, Syncs, etc etc.

Edit
[Galaxy S III Android Development] you_man:
Noticed one peculiarity.

When the phone is on charge it works for about thirty to forty minutes at a frequency 600,700,800 MHh.Is this normal?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, this is not normal behaviour.

It is normal the phone goes on 200 MHz during charging, not going into deep sleep, but it should not use that high frequencies.

Or have you configured min CPU frequency to higher values? Or changed things like freq_sleep_limit in zzmoove tunables?

Have never noticed that on my side. Maybe an app is triggering something based on charging event on your side somehow...

There can be plenty of reasons for something like this.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] you_man:
zz- battery yank, min 200MZh. Have not changed anything.

What do I do?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Simple: you do nothing, be pragmatic.

Why should it concern you when the CPU goes up during charging? It will not drain your battery and also not charge much slower.

If you want to do something, I have only one advise: Wipe, fresh install, ideally a clean rom. Then install only the apps you really 150% need first, and then monitor it again.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] you_man:
Noticed this feature and decided to find out whether this is normal.

A couple of days ago installed the new ROM.

btw,another feature. Setting 200-800MHz, but during deep sleep and charge processor can work on 1000 MHz, wtf?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Not really. Are you sure this is not still from the boot process?

Can you reset the counters in boeffla-config all, then charge it for 10 minutes and then look again if really frequencies above 800 have been used in your case?

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] you_man:
Sure.Throughout the day and night use to charge the phone, I will introduce you to the screenshot.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, if that is the case during charging, I have just never noticed.

Honestly, what happens during charging is nothing I looked into ever, as I do not care which power is consumed when the charger is connected anyways :)

So, might be in the end it is like you say. I will check when I charge next time, could be interesting.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] slipudatung:
Hi team,

Not sure if anyone has this issue (feature?) or just not noticed but at medium volumes all of my music has a VBR (variable bit rate) type effect where less bassy segments are amplified (volume?) and when you reach a more bassy section the volume is reduces on the continuing track.

All of my MP3 files are CBR (constant bit rate) so I cannot figure out what is causing it. I have tried disabling the Bass Frequency Tuning in Boeffla Sound but same issue.

I have only recently changed to Boeffla (yesterday) and never heard this fluctuation in sound (volume?) before. Its not a big issue for me, but not sure if identifying this could lead to EVEN BETTER SOUND?? haha

At my max volume setting though, this sounds simply amazeballs. Credits to the dev for this big time!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rowlers:
OK - I will :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] erto90:
I got the same thing, but happens only if i plug the aux in my car.. With headphones all is normal!

Seems only disabling equalizer can solve the problem.. Lowering volume btw

My volume in car go from 0 to 30 and it start to become "crazy" from 18+, using 63 headphones amplifier and the equalizer

Ill continue to investigate

Ps: was happening also with perseus always at 18+.. Can be a car issue or maybe a common issue..

The only thing i noticed is that using Yank kernel and switching boeffla sound ON but leaving all Samsung stock ( in aroma settings during the installation of the kernel) the problem is gone.. Weird!

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

It's recommended not to touch the Undervolting if you want stability.

But if you want to... Just start with lower values than - 100 mV
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi rowlers, thanks. Umm, then I might have "bad news" for you. I am planning to start developing my own tweak app for the kernel very soon (so far, the used tweak app is a 3rd party and I do not have much influence on it).

But I hope you will like the new one as well one day.

I think it could be related to either:

- saturation prevention

- bass frequency tuning

As you can freely switch both of it off, I would recommend you experiment with it to find your perfect settings.

Also here: I would recommend when connecting to AUX to lower the headphone volume and switch off saturation prevention. Then this effect should be gone.

The build script is not publicly available (reason is, I have some private data in it as it is a completely automated process with sending status mails + putting files to my NAS etc.).

But you can follow the "standard" approach by building the kernel like it is statet in the readme of the kernel tar file, just use config boeffla_defconf instead of m00_00_defconf.

For the build itself, rely on mkbootimg to include the ramdisk into the kernel.

PM me if you need more help.

Yes, it slightly adjusts the two lower bands cut off frequencies. But it is only a very slight change, based on empirical tests only (as Wolfson Micro does not give out specs for this to people not under NDA).

Yes, please start low (with -25mv or light) and increase to the higher over the time. Not the other way round, as this would just cause frustration when you run into troubles.

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

Just spitballing here. But a feature I would love to see if it's possible is to be able to use the power button to power off the screen while using the hdmi out.

Really not happy with Samsung not thinking of this. I hate that after watching a couple of movies that my battery is low even though it's plugged in. If you can find away to turn off the screen but keep the hdmi signal alive that would be awesome.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] erto90:
Yeah saturation prevention is always turned off in my s3

The thing i noticed: if,for example, you choose 63 as headphone volume and you do NOT use the equalizer, the sound will correnspond at 63 headphones volume + all equalizer bands setted at +12

infact if you enable equalizer and leave bands untouched, the volume will lower because it will be 63 + all bands at 0, so will be the original 63 headphones volume value..

Is this theory true?
