1 - Boeffla-Sound: Everything customized to my taste.

2 - Sharpness tweak: Always on.

3 - zzmoove governor: As smooth as possible with good battery life, which I find it in zzmoove - optimal.

4 - CPU/GPU tabs: As much as possible UV and OC with AFTR+LPA. Still missing ABB (I know I won't get it Andi, just nice to tease you :) )

5 - Frandom: Sill puzzles me. But eventually I turn it on.

6 - zRAM: Don't like it but it helps.

7 - Touch boost: I think scenarios covered with touch boost should be solved with governor so I leave it on at 800MHz as it helps with hiccups.

8 - Charging rates: I charge my phone almost every time during the night so I use only 500mA. But when needed bumped up.

9 - Zen scheduler: Everybody's doing it :) I trust Andi on this.

10 - "Action" button: Load& flash kernel, wipe caches & reboot, filesystem trim

1-2 rock solid

3-4 something to play with

5-7 love-hate relationship

8-10 nice to have

Sorry it was 10 but this covers all the options that I use. Thank you Andi for such a great kernel which can be a daily driver and also my plaything. I hope you won't be attracted by S5 too much and stay with us also in 4.4 era which I really hope it will come. Lack of 4.3 kernel sources tells me that it should happen.

PS: Has anyone noticed that notification light LED brightness if not controlled by Boeffla-kernel is not constant as it uses auto brightness?

Andi I really love your kernel I've used it ever since I got my s3, all I'm doing is pointing out battery usage of stock kernel is really good in b6 :) sorry if I'm upsetting you :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
What else should I say what I have not already said?

Nobody knows what Samsung is using to build NB6 stock kernel.

Also it does not have any extra functions that might consume battery (like touch to wake etc).

So if you like battery life of stock kernel more, I am absolutely not upset when you use stock kernel.

You know... I make my kernel for myself, and thats it :)

Ok guys, thanks. I got a good picture now what you use basically and what is important for you.

If you want to know why I asked, it is easy:

The kernel meanwhile is (for my personal usage) quite far away from what I personally need. So I built a slim version of my kernel just for myself, which reduced functionality and 500% closer to stock kernel. Just was curious how much this would fit your requirements as well.

Thanks for the interesting answers.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Clark789:
Hi Andi,

as you can see, most of the stuff in your kernel and in your app is absolutely useful for us. But a lot more important is your top-notch-support! :)

But i'm curious, what is meant by your "kernel-light" in reality... What do you "personally" need? And what is not useful for yourself? Will a slim version work even faster? Or is it only a little bit smaller?

Questions over questions, if you tell us mystical things... :)

Regards

Clark
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
The slim version I built for myself has only this in:

zzmoove, lulzactiveq and intellidemand governors

zen, row and sio schedulers

loggers can be disabled

charging rate configuration

CPU overclocking

Notification LED configuration

Frandom support, standard entropy increased

Touch boost interface

Touch-to-Wake

All modules (CIFS, NFS, Xbox, OTG Ethernet, NTFS)

Triangle Away support

zRam is fix as per Samsung stock kernel

everything configured by default as per stock kernel (!)

Hence, most important missing features (by intention as I do not use it):

no linux upstream, standard gcc 4.4.3 toolchain, no CPU voltage control, no GPU frequency/voltage control, no zRam control, no sharpness tweak, no reduce debugging hacks, no wifi changes, no other hacks and tweaks, no dynamic fsync, no early-suspend, no pegasusqplus, absolutely nothing else...

So it is lean and has exactly in what I use. Too early to say about speed etc. Will need more verification.

Andi

Just for Information

I can't agree with it. I'm on latest Boeffla beta (zzmove gov battery yank) with stock odexed 4.3 rom and the drain is between 0.5 - 1.0 %/hour on standby.

Maybe you have some wakeloks or "bad" apps.

try flashing the MK6 modem..there's a flashable zip in boeffla website
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
keneth_c, let's see.

Currently the version is not yet in a shape to go to someone.

And I was not planning to give it out but it to be my personal, private, function-reduced kernel, without support.

But maybe if people are heavily interesed it it and stating this loud enough, I might change my mind.

It is still likely. Just not very short after S5 will be launched.

After the story with my car (which costed me a lot) is about to be sorted in 1 week, I have a new challenge in searching for a new appartment as the kids move out soon. So, time and money-wise I do not yet know when it will be the time for a S5.

The good thing is: By then I know already from other devs how development for the S5 is going and if Samsung introduced new road blocks for developers.

Will have a look throughout today.

So far quite similar to the normal version I would say. I cannot yet judge battery life however, too early.

Yes, this is also my idle drain. But I made my point on it already clear. Not more I can do.

There was absolutely zero change on wifi between beta6 and previous betas. So it is a side effect in worst case.

Oooooops, sorry, have to kick in here: Modem does NOT have anything to do with WIFI.

The WIFI drivers are 100% only in the kernel, so flashing a different modem would make no difference.

It is one of the old fairytales, the modem is resposible for WIFI, Bluetooth, GPS etc. But it is ONLY for mobile connections GPRS, Edge, 3G, UMTS, LTE etc.

Not a problem at all, I am here to watch and correct if required.

The two old "fairytales" are:

- Modem has impact on WIFI, bluetooth or GPS

- before or after a kernel flash Dalvik cache or cache should be wiped

Both are just not true but exist for many years :)

And honestly, there were times (when I still had my Galaxy S1, not doing development) when I also believed them ;)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] you_man:
Yes, and work for 1000 MHz, when 800 MHz limited
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, I have not, because of 4 reasons:

- I still have 44% battery left, so not yet time to charge

- I really do not see this as a problem, so I will look but with low priority

- I have a professional life which demands good time these days

- I am working on my personal slim kernel

Next time I charge I will monitor.

I've been hearing (oops my bad... "reading") a lot about the NB6 kernel as well. But I'd stick with Boeffla myself even though I use limited options...

[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION]

Any chances you would use NB6 kernel in the future as base for your kernel? Is that in the pipeline somewhere?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ok, now I did some charging. And yes, I can confirm during charging, the CPU max frequency does not get always applied. I also have peaks to 1000 although I configured a max of 800.

However, not really an issue for me.

If I find some time I will check which condition is able to sneak through the max frequency check.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] you_man:
Peaks to 1000 under the restriction in 800 also occur in deep sleep.

Oh, thank you, my Lord.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
What is your configured touchboost frequency? Just curious...

Because not having a 100% hard limit on the CPU max frequency is known. Also the stock kernel shows the same behaviour.

However, Yank created a hack to avoid that, which was working for the 4.1.x kernel. Maybe it does not work 100% anymore on 4.3 sources. Big area to check.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] you_man:
I already wrote that touchboost - off.

This problem was on 4.1.2. Moreover, it is at all governor.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gieffe22:
by 2 days i'm on NB6 with stock kernel...i'm silently testing it :P

anyway the kernel stock is in good point at the moment, much much better than the old MK series and ML...but beetween boeffla and stock i still prefer boeffla because of bsound. In other things the stock kernel is pretty good, even with pegasusq that is less reactive than zzmove. Even the memory managment is good, the lmk full out ram as usual for stock but multitasking work really good (probably helped by zram)...and i think that samsung apps like browser or video player have a close link in working with stock kernel,i dont know if is a script for cpu or other thing...maybe i'm wrong but this is my impression...

so...for US boeffla kernel is still a better choice because of freedom in kernel settings but for the rest i think that stock kernel is still a good choice

[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION]

i read that your latest version is based on update 13...this is the one that goes out on february(the new sources)?or you go back to the old european sources?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Gieffe22, first of all: Thanks for the report. This is the first time someone compares the kernels and comes back with useful facts and observations.

Yes, memory management of stock kernel is different. Boeffla comes without zRam preconfigured, stock kernel does. You would need to configure 300 MB zRam with 1 device to have something close to stock kernel.

(my internal slim kernel by the way uses the Samsung zRam as well, so I compare currently on that)

And for the rest, we do not know what Sammy uses to build this kernel. If they use new sources internally, they might give it to us, but maybe even not. Nobody knows.

And I was inprecise: the latest version is of course based on GT-I9300_SEA_JB_Opensource_Update2 sources, not update13. You can read in the change log when I incorporated these sources on top.

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gieffe22:
ok...another thing i dont understand is that pegasusq perform better on stock kernel...for example i use facebook app to compare governors and speed beetween kernels(is incredible how heavy is this app),and when scrolling smoothness in nb6 is similar to zzmove optimal that is a very good thing, i dont know if is placebo but i think it little better pegasusq respect of pegasuq of your kernel (probably they use some tricks that are not explained in sources)...for zram i don't use this in your kernel because i don't need it, i prefer speed to little better multitask...but on kernel stock this is so good that you not notice this (but this is the same in your kernel actually). In another aspects i not see a much different behavior,but for a stock kernel this is very good. It's strange how samsung manage android, this company use awesome optimization to kernel and hw but then lack of it on sw LOL and this is a big big shame!.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Robi959:

Whats your opinion???
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] HassanM:
Thanks... Using Zen/Zen (512/512)....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sqlpro:
What are those numbers mean?how do they improve things?Thanks for the advice
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HassanM:
These are Read-Ahead Buffers for Internal & ExtSd ... The default value for the readahead buffer is 256... So by increasing this value to e.g. 512/768/1024 we can get a better read performance in sequential reads from the disks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sqlpro:
Thanks for that. Just quick question, i get launcher redraws using boeffla and none with stock kernel! Any suggestion for settings? Btw in the config app, i changed nothing but boeffla sound and enabled zram with 300mb. Appreciate any advice
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HassanM:
Try diabling ZRam.... If ure using Xposed Framework, use "App Settings" module and with that make your Launcher as "Resident" .... It will keep your launcher locked in memory avoiding the redraws....

Good luck!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Zen is a good scheduler, and seems to be very battery-friendly.

I used it for many months, but it is not as smooth as CFQ in my experience.

Yes, that is right. The important word here is "we CAN get"... but it is not a must.

Too high read ahead buffers are causing issues again.

And there is no "good setting" for it as it depends very much on quality of your sd memory.

128 is stock readahead buffer by Samsung, 256 is slightly increased already by Boeffla-Kernel.

512 should be still safe for most users, above it... try.

Interesting, there is no real reason for that.

Reset your LMK settings in the app if you imported a profile of someone else.

Or - reset your complete config in the boeffla-config app settings, so you really have a standard configuration.

BTW... never faced any launcher redraws ever, but I am using Nova launcher.

And sometimes when I unlock the phone it is not responding.

I have to wait about 2-6 seconds in order to be responsive again.

For example: I was using Spotify and I received a message when I unlocked the phone and tried to bring notification bar down in order to click to read the message I couldn't

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Velogr, my phone comes back within 1-2 seconds out of deep sleep (and this is unfortunately a normal time for it).

But never 6-8 seconds fortunately.

Are you using zRam? If so, try to disable and see if it makes a difference.

Also try to change governor to pegasusq for a day or two, and report if this makes a difference.

Thanks

Read ahead buffer set at 256 for me is just perfect. Anything more than that... And my phone is laggy...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Velogr1992:
Hey thanks for the quick response.

I meant that the screen opens with the natural delay (1-2) secs. That's OK.

But there are times that when I try to unlock or check the notification bar (the moment I unlock and the screen goes on) it lags for 5-6 secs. Even cool tool is stuck etc etc.

I will try without zram and will report back.

P.s. Will disabling zram have negative effect on performance(more redraws)?

I had it 4 zram devices and

200mhz zram total size.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Disabling zRam should have almost no impact on performance (maybe even a bit better, especially it should lag less), more redraws... could be. Depends on many things it seems. I never have redraws with Nova Launcher even without zRam and no other hacks.
