Im using 5.1 beta 13 zzmove extreme yank..system tweak frandom tweaks..and all I can say its damn good smoother no lags...absolutely better than previous beta....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fabfor:
Lord Boeffla, should I enable this option in busybox or not?

Thanks for your great work!!!

(see attachment)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
It should not really matter anymore with latest Boeffla Betas.

But to be safe, I would recommend to keep it disabled (so press No).

glad this can help other pleople...i maked another test with browser: 8 tabs with HEAVY sites (theverge and other)...browser reached up to 400mb ram and then he crash (but is normal...)...i NEVER reached up to all these tabs without redraw of other tabs (max 4-5 tabs without redraw)...is definitly a big improvement...

Or are you using the 5.1 kernel on 4.1.x roms? (I never tried it)

Lol, smartassv2?? I used it on my galaxy ace :p

Why add this old governor andi? N one more question, how can i tweak frandom tweak/value??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cyberlord86:
Will setting android low memory killer to 300 and using Frandom tweaks (specially that) have any bad impact on battery life? At least, in theory...

And, yea, Andi... best kernel ever. :)

I have a huge battery drain in CM11 tamaesk's ROM and I flashed the latest kernel for CM11. Can anybody helps me with configuration to get best battery life? :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
SmartassV2: Was a user request and is still the favourite governor for lots. And does not do anything bad if it is included and you dont use it (apart from consuming some bytes of the kernel size)

Frandom: You cannot tweak that. The module is loaded and the random devices are linked to the frandom module. What would you like to tweak?

Andi

[Galaxy S III Android Development] gieffe22:
frandom can impact on battery because use the cpu to generate entropy (it boost performance but you drain a little of battery)...android lmk empty apps 300+ not for sure...

anyway i'm using these 2 options and my battery is as before...i think is elsewhere the problem...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] danierakes:
Dude its boeffla kernel..who r u to question him...he can put whatever he want and we decide whatever we choose..and for ur information smartassv2 also good in perfomance and battery life too
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Fortunately, I hope, it is not that black and white :)

But in theory you are right, Daniel. I put in what I like primarily.

Cheers

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abhibnl:
Oh! I thought frandom is a separate flashable tweak and you put a module to support it.

N yup, smartassv2 was my fav for galacy ace, wasn't sure if it's tweaked for quad core or not.

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

No offence man but there's no point in you being harsh. I didn't question why he put it in a wrong way, i asked cause it's a old governor and i wasn't sure if it's tweaked for quad core or not. So it was for pure knowledge. You please keep that attitude of yours to yourself, mind that!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, you are right. Frandom is a module I included in the kernel, true.

But when you select "Frandom tweaks" in Boeffla-Config V2 system tweaks dropdown, it gets loaded and linked as I described.

Of course you do not need to use it and still can flash an additional mod that enables it (maybe doing even much more). I wanted to just create a very light-weight version to activate it also without additional mod.

No, SmartassV2 is not tweaked for multi-core CPUs. Clear point. So it does not support hot-plugging, which means - all CPU cores are either active, or sleeping in deep sleep. Nothing really in between. So I am sure it is not the best battery saving governor, but it seems to have neat performance. Hence, some wanted it :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dovah:
Hey guys, will setting the empty apps to 300mb in LMK settings decrease performance ? Or is it all positive effect ? Thank you.

Oh and thank you to Andi for this amazing kernel!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] renierx:
According to my CPU monitoring tools (Cool Tool, CPU-Z) and very low CPU related scores in AnTuTu benchmark it seems that no more than only one core is used. Are you sure, that all cores are used?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gieffe22:
no dropdown in performance,,,this is for sure :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Clark789:
Hi Lord,

one point for the wish list: can't you include the CRT-Off-effect in the kernel? I miss it... :) :)

Afaik the beta13 is even a little bit smoother than the beta12. Am i wrong?

Kind regards

Clark
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, to be precise:

It depends on how many CPUs were active when you switched to SmartAssV2...

When I switch to SmartassV2 in Boeffla-Config and reboot, I end up with 4 active CPU cores.

If I choose a governor with only one core active, and then switch, it seems these cores remain sticky.

But have not tested enough as SmartassV2 is not the governor of my choice anyway...

No, crt-off effect is a function on userspace, not kernelspace. I cannot include that in the kernel, no chance.

And yes, beta13 should be smoother than beta12. I hoped so.

Wanam xposed has feature I turned it off
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abhibnl:
Oh! It's been a long time since i used system tweaks. Never knew it was there all this time. I'll try tomorrow but i seriously doubt if it'll give any performance boost, these latest 4.3 roms are just flying even on zzmove yank battery xtreme with system tweaks off. And now i can confirm, odexed roms,besides using a little much RAM(for me atleast) gives good performance over deodexed roms.

About smartassv2, yep that's what i thought. It was never tweaked for multi core devices.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] raheelanjum:
Sorry to report that these tweaks have not done any good for me :(. On neat 6.3 ML4 ROM, I selected zzmove, zzmove battery yank, enabled frandom tweaks and set empty app to 300, but with nova launcher, i got launcher re-draws, very slow opening of contact and Gallery app. May be there is improvement in battery drain, but these issues have forced me to go back to stock ML4 repacked which was showing much better performance.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ozzyblack:

Been using this kernel for 2 months now and its great! Updated todat to 13 and in the LMK set empty apps 300mbs and finally there is no lag on the phone. There was still a small lag and sometimes redraw of TW.

My settings:

Governor - zzmove - battery extreme yank

Int/ext scheduler - cfq/cfq

CPU tweaks AFTR + LPA Multicore powersave on

CPU min/max - 200/1600/ -100mv uv

Touch Boost 700mhz

GPU - 266/350/440/533/640/light uv

LMK - empty apps 300

Also have touch wake on and its great!

Thanks for this kernel it really made my S3 a better phone :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gieffe22:
speed of apps depend by apps not by the setting of kernel...dialer,gallery and contact are slow in opening,not is a kernel problem or setting problem...

...empty apps to 300mb only prevent caching of apps by system...but if an open app need ram or another system service need ram this load up anyway! when the ram is full there is no way to not showing redraws of launcher or other apps...you have only 1gb of ram,even with this trick of empty apps man :p

[Galaxy S III Android Development] dyval:
What do you mean by +10 on LMK values? Do you mean default values +10 or 10 only for each? Thanks

Ok thanks. I have a feeling that the Audio Mod (Viper4Audio) I'm using is being killed by LMK. How can I prevent that [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION].
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I am not using that audio mod, so please ask the developer of it why it would need specific LMK settings (which I doubt it is the case, honestly).

How to prevent it: Press the reset button in the LMK section and choose apply. Then you are back to normal LMK settings again.

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

i thought so. Just kidding... :) I would have been appreciated, because your kernel developed more and more to a swiss army knife for the S3... :)

And i'm really surprised, to perceive that the new beta13 is again noticable smoother than beta12. I activated the frandom tweak, but i' m not sure, if it has any additional effect... What do you think? On which positiion do you see a reamrkable effect?

Regards

Clark
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Clark... it is still heavily debated if the frandom stuff is a placebo or not.

I would say, I feel some increased smoothness generally, but as it is very minor I could be also wrong.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
Where is this setting??

What does it do in the specific the "CPU Multicore Power Save" ??

What did it give you +10Mb on each LMK, instead of 300Mb on Empty Apps??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
1 -> in Documentation

2 -> for me +10 LMK gives a slightly smoother system. I never tried 300 MB on empty apps, that was someone else

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Frozenblade33:
Hi!

Can anyone tell me if 300mb on empty apps draining battery?

And if uv may cause battery drain?

With thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

while I cannot answer your question based on experience (as I wrote), here some theory:

If you set the LMK for non-empty apps to 300, this means, apps are more frequently removed from memory to free up some memory again.

Of course this is some additional work, but depending on how you use your phone, I would not expect noticable battery drain due to that.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] D00ky:
Anyone else having problems with switching off frandom tweaks while on custom profile? My example: I am on my custom profile (governor: zzmoove-optimal, scheduler: zen, idle mode: AFTR+LPA, boeffla sound ON, system tweaks: frandom, everything else default). If I switch system tweaks from frandom to OFF and restart, opening apps animation/transition stutters heavily. But if I change to default profile before restarting and selecting my custom profile after booting everything is at it should be. I have to mention that my custom profile otherwise works without any problem, with or without frandom system tweaks. I am on stock odexed firmware with no mods or tweaks.

Edit: Opening app animation/transition stutters only if app has not been opened yet or if I free ram prior opening the same app.

About frandom itself. I have to say that at least in Chrome, which stutters heavily when scrolling through pages, I can notice some big stutters reduction (not that it is stutter free at all). Otherwise where system has been smooth before you can't see any improvement.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] boyheadkick:

Well, here are some battery and kernel numbers:

Touchboost: 800Mhz

Uv: -50mV

Empty apps: 300MB, no ZRAM

Super smooth, better then ever experience. Maybe those numbers are not super imba OP, but I'm not using any battery saver option (beside slight uV). Galaxy S3 is better then ever.

Using ArchiDroid: 1.7.6 Far best ROM around. Huge amount of credits goes to him also.

FYI, my dad is battery freak. His S3 is not so smooth as mine. He does not care cuz he can hit close to 4 days without charging. Enough said. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GUZGUN:
Thank you Andi. I have exactly the same settings except LMK settings.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PIRATA!:
I had to quit it us using 300Mb on empty apps as I got some fc...and as I've read that this setting used combo with Frandom caused some fc to someone (but is still unconfirmed to be a known issue), I'd prefer to try your +10Mb on each LMK, Andi :)

For the other settings, I've got my settings quite similar to yours, except for touch boost this at I have it to 600...but I'll try your 400 because I'm curious to see if it lags or not with my use.

About the scheduler, your use Zen, but with both 256 both?

I have mp3 on external sdcard and documents storage, and on internal I only have system files/apps as Samsung distributes them, I don't do any app2sd.

As you mention in your documentation, I settled RoW with 512 on extsdcard and CFQ with 256 in internal as I thought was better....but would like the best from battery with quite similar results tu my behaviors.

Do you think setting Zen like you could be the same for my use? In case, how many bytes?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fabfor:
Don't know why empty apps=300 in LMK options keeps resetting to default value after each reboot.

Of course I hit apply after changing its value.

Help with EXT4 SD card

hi guys, I was trying to mount my SD card with EXT4 files system and learned that the kernel and OS should support it, so I just flashed your kernel and installed the tweaks app from the store.

the EXT4 option is enabled but I still get "Blank SD card" notification, am not a Linux person so can someone please guide me on how to mount this card and make it permanent?

am running i9300XWUGML4 stock rooted with busybox whatever that is :)

I think I finally found the solution to eliminating the redraw problem of the launcher. Third party launchers are considered secondary server apps. I raised the value by 10. I also lowered empty apps and content providers by 10 each since having more empty apps causes performance lag and content providers will manage to open up even with 10MB less.

I haven't had a redraw yet so I'm hoping it's fine for good.

Let me know what you guys think.

what is those changes for updated boeffla config apps v2

Hi Andi there are 2 updates to boeffla config apps. may i know what is those updates for?

1. compatibility with smart app protector

2. general hardening
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
LG can keep their phones in deep sleep while the touch screen still reacts on touch events. They have a circuit in their devices that, from hardware side, reacts on double taps within a specific period of time and then sends an event to the CPUs to wake up.

So no battery drain with it.

Impossible on the S3 as I said previously. Here we would need to prevent deep sleep, causing battery drain.

Well, pretty much as the descriptions say:

1) Now when you use the app "smart app protector" and protect boeffla-config, the settings will not be messed up anymore after start.

2) Some people sometimes reported governors and schedulers changing magically its settings. This should be also covered by the changes.

(of course they would still change if other apps/scripts change it)
