I'm happy to report that arter's back-to-noot rom is probably the most stable rom I've used post official Sammy 4.1.2. Since I've always used non debloated Sammy roms with custom kernels, the official 4.3 one just didn't do it for me, hence I went for other alternatives. And arter's rom is gold, despite some features not working but it is 100% stable with no random reboots or other shenanigans. :)

Arter says that he'll have an update to his rom in some two weeks time (maybe version 6) though I haven' really dwelled into what updates they are.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
And this is what I meant with "maintenance status" of my kernels. If arters new version requires some ramdisk update etc to kernel version 7.1, I will of course put it in.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] daniel.mota:
Hi all, seems like I found this kernel just at the time it is finished!

I have a S3 for 2/3 weeks, I use stock 4.3 rom (for now) and I've been trying custom kernels.

Both arter97 and Agni produce ocasional freezes and some lags, even with performance settings.

Earlier today I flashed Boeffla kernel and so far it is working great. Thanks!

Besides congratulating Lord boeffla for this great work, I wanted to ask what settings should I use to improve battery life without reducing too much the phone's performance.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Well, it seems that the Kingston microSD that I've purchased yesterday is fine, the microSD card reader (Kingston!) that I've used is not compatible with memories bigger than 32 GB. I've inserted the memory in the phone, and it was formated without a problem at the nominal capacity. The "read only" Sandisk microSD that I've replaced wasn't even detected as a valid media when inside the same card reader...

Andi, thanks for the update and stable version

Always perfect job

how can i set the swap on 4.4.2? What do you suggest? 80 or 90?

I have 460 mb (4 devices) of zram!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Your question is not clear to me.

You have enabled zRam in Boeffla-Config? Then you are good to go and do not need swap on sd memory anymore (which is anyways not recommended as it wears your memory).

I suggest 80 as the swappiness, if you mean that. But if you enable zRam from my app, it is anyways set to 80 automatically.

So, all should be fine with your settings already.

Hi Andi

I've always loved and still do and using latest Boeffla Kernel stable version in my ported 4.4.4 rom.

I feel, personally, that using governor/profile; zzmoove/battery extreme yank has the best battery saving on the JB4.3.

I used the same governor/profile in 4.4.4 rom but do not feel the same effect. I don't blame you of course, as this is only my personal experience and a lot of factors can play e.g. my 2.5 y.o. battery LOL

May seem cliché to you; Thank you for supporting us all this time.

Much obliged.

PS: I don't care about power off-charging either

Sent from my handphone, not yours
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sassinapoli:
Yes. I have boeffla config (i love that app) and i set zram on 460mb. The swappiness is better to set on 80 or 90?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Thanks buddy.

The ported 4.4.x roms behave a bit different in general. They are not optimized for our S3, so.... yes, can all be a bit different here.

I would keep it on 80, as said.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
Swappiness, it is difficult for users to determine

I tried with my values and the optimum is 70

Otherwise, everything is working fine and friends ..

[Galaxy S III Android Development] mahpooya:

And how about stop charging when phone fully charged?

Is it possible or not?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
It has been answered MULTIPLE times already... Andi won't be implementing a fix for it as he doesn't even use it.

Oh and if you're gonna insist on porting it from arter97's kernel here's your answer as well: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57564254&postcount=15453

Problem loading profile

Hello

First of all, thank you for giving us such a wonderful kernel. Have used it for over a year now with my i9300, FW v4.1.2

Finally decided to upgrade to v4.4.4 with the custom rom of "DN4 from E-Team".

This rom comes with arter97 kernel, but due to battery draining issue i decided to use your kenel.

Installed the latest beta7 ver of your kernel, but after reboot having issues with loading the default profile.

This after I installed boeffla tweaks app. I installed the kernel after wiping the cache.

Now, whenever i reboot the phone, i get an error that "Profile failed to load kernel settings due to a soft or hot boot". The app asks me to reboot the phone to resolve the issue.

Have rebooted the phone multiple times and not soft booted or hot booted, but the issue persists?

Boeffla config app does have super user permissions.

Is this because i flashed Boeffla kernel, after installing stock kernel, over arter97? If so, how can i flash it without getting this error?

If the above is not an issue, then could someone guide me to get rid of this problem?

Thanks in advance :)

Please check if init.d is empty. If not, please empty it and reboot again.

I found a initdsupport.txt file, which has a bunch of "init.d is working" lines mentioned in it.

Do i delete the lines or the file or is it a folder that you are talking about.

If its a folder, could you guide me where can i find it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
System-etc-init.d folder
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mayday2:
Get a file explorer with root access. It is under /etc

Or you can do it in Boeffla Config, Action, Clean init.d folder.

ZRAM

Hi Andi,

Once again thanks for next generation 5.4 stable version,

I have a guestion, what is Samsung's stock kernel zram configuration.

1- 300mb disk size with 4 devices...?

2- 300mb disk size with 1 device...?

And do I need to turn on swap with zram...?

If yes then what value...?

Thanks.:confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gabyif:
Stock Samsung is 1 device with 300 mb.About swap I use 90 but with other zram config, with stock zram I used 60
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
Go for 1 device and 300mb, that's Samsung's approach. I find swapiness at 70 is a good balance :)

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Just a PRO-Tip for next time:

Look into /boeffla-kernel-data folder and check the latest file "boeffla-kernel.log" there. It ends with the script that is the culprit in this case.

So it is usually sufficient to delete this single script to get the things working :)

Next time.

1 device, 300 MB, swapiness on 60 - that is Samsung defaults.

And no, when you enable zRam in my app, swap is automatically activated as it is required for zRam to work.

New stable 7.2 for KitKat 4.4.4.

Hi all,

as promised, maintenance updates will still be done as per availability.

And as [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] was extremely productive this weekend, a new back-to-n00t compatible kernel with two nasty bugs fixed is now available.

LPM charging (when device is switched off) and custom bootanimations are working now!

As said - all done by ZaneZam and prepared for me to cherry-pick, so do not thank me this time but say a big thank you to ZaneZam !!!

Version 7.2 stable

21.12.2014

Charging when device is switched off (lpm) fixed - Credits to ZaneZam, kumajaya and FennyFatal

Custom bootanimation now working - Credits to ZaneZam and DirtyUnicorns

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZaneZam:
thx my lord happy that i was able to help! i hope all of u with the mentioned issues are pleased with this and can enjoy bootanimation and LPM charging again!

btw. i'm still using a ICS bootloader (thx to the lord *g*) and will not change that (for sure not! *g*) so it would be very interesting to know if for some user with a

recent KK bootloader LPM charging is still working with this fix. would appreciate a short "yes" or "no" :) just to know if there is some "fine-tuning" needed, thx ;)

now some self-advertisment: linaro build of this version is on the way :)

I personally do not care about charging when device is off. I think I wrote than something around one million times.

So I would have never fixed it.

Especially not as the kernels are now in MAINTENANCE mode only !!!

And especially as the 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 port kernels will not have a high support level ever.

Say thank you to ZaneZam, he invested lots of work during last weekend to fix it.

7.2 has it already fixed. 6.2 is about to come this morning.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
But when I have enables zRam, swap don't activities automatically,

Do I need to enable the swap manually before rebooting...?:confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ah, this is not swap, this is swappiness.

It is a parameter that decides, how agressively zRam will be "swapped".

So, once you enable zRam, swap functionality internally gets activated with a swappiness of 80 (you can check on the apps first page).

Only if you want to change the swappiness value (which you should not unless you want experiment and fine tune), you need to enable this switch and then you can override the default swappiness of 80 by whatever you want.

Cheers

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I am really sorry when I need to tell you the truth:

If you want any 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 Samsung Touchwiz rom be fluid, you need to purchase a different phone.

Seriously. All the ported roms are done for other devices with more memory. And slightly better processing power. And even there it does not run 100% lag free, Touchwiz is a pain in the a*** which always causes micro stutters.

So honestly, a 100% lag free experience is not possible, however you try to configure your phone. You can just minimize it.

Or... buy a device with 3 GB memory and a quad core CPU.

Sorry if you do not like that message, but it is the truth. S3 is a great phone, but not state of the art anymore regarding hardware.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Playbooy:
I understand and I am aware of that, I have two requests:

1. You give me that setting and push to the max as you can and what you expect from the rom 4.4.2

2. I understand that the problem is in the rom 4.4.2 / 4.4.4 with TouchWiz because it seems to me that s3 is not a bad phone.What do you recommend to other rom s3? Which will give me what I expect.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
1. As I never need that much power, I am not good to ask.

I would use lulzactiveq, overclock, overvolt slightly by 25 or 50mV. Row scheduler. Mainly that determines your performance.

2. I would give cm11 a try if I were you. Stable, fast. Quite mature.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
I've used only arter port 4.4.4, and the best combination of speed and fast core unplug on light load and stanby, for me, is:

LulzactiveQ - tunable (down_sample_time and up_sample_time to 10000ms, inc_cpu_load to 70, pump_up_step = 3, hispeed_freq=1600000)

Deadline for internal and external memory

Read ahead buffer 256/384

CPU OC to 1.6 ghz

First two GPU frequencies up to 266/300

UV CPU -50 at 1.6 ghz, -25 from 1.4 ghz to 1.1 ghz

UV GPU -25

Massively debloated

If you want to step up to another level, try AD 3. Currently the last version has some graphic glitches (because HW composer just added), but is much faster and light on ram (I do the same tunning as TW)

I really doubt I will make a permanent return to a TW rom...
