2.12-beta8

Hi all,

there is another additional beta version before 2.12 comes out:

2.12-beta8

Beta8 comes in two flavours, one with latest 0.5.1a zzmoove governor + an alternative version beta8_zz03, which has the "good old" zzmoove 0.3 governor instead of 0.5.x - so you can compare both if you want.

Compared to beta7, the following has changed:

- Linux kernel upstreamed to latest kernel.org version 3.0.82

- zzmoove 0.5.1a instead of 0.5 (or zzmoove 0.3 if you load the alternative version)

- touch-to-wake can be set to infinite (will keep your phone away and drain battery, so use with care)

- SuperSU updated to version 1.3.2

Full change Log (vs last stable 2.11)

* All functionalities of last stable kernel 2.11

* zzmoove governor updated to 0.5.1a (credits to ZaneZam)

* Touch-to-wake available (activate in Boeffla-Tweaks app first)

* WLAN driver updated to driver of i9505 (more stable data throughput)

* zRam support (configurable e.g. in Boeffla-Tweaks app, do not forget to restart after configuring)

* Linux kernel "upstreamed" from Samsung original version 3.0.31 to latest release 3.0.82 from 14.06.2013 (www.kernel.org)

* Additional charging rates for USB and AC charger

* Danymic fsync updated to version 1.2 (Faux via Yank)

* ROW scheduler updated

* Changed timing of Boeffla-Sound initialisation during kernel startup to fix issues with some custom roms (e.g. Omega rom)

* Debug info log in Boeffla-Tweaks app extended to include more zRam specific debug info

* SuperSU updated to version 1.3.2

Note on touch-to-wake:

When you activate it, you have to select the time touch-to-wake is active after display goes off. How it works is pretty simple: Let the display go dark and tap the display during the selected time again -> display will go on again. For security reasons, this does NOT work when you lock the display via the power button - so use this when you want to put your phone into a pocket.

Recommendation: Set the touch-to-wake time to 45 seconds, and set the time the lockscreen gets active to 1 minute in Android settings. This is a perfect combo for doing chatting like e.g. WhatsApp, Hangout...

As always - download from homepage or via Load&Flash.

Enjoy testing!!!

Cheers

SuperSU is updated to 1.33 in Playstore just now.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Grrrr... thanks for letting me know :)

I will update for stable version, however it is not really important as the supersu in Boeffla-Kernel will only be used if you root via Boeffla-kernel. And then it will update the version from playstore anyways.

But still, will update this again for next version...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lou2s:
Hahaha the "new update" notification just show up right after the first boot of beta8 :p

And as u say so, we can update through play store so it's not really important, just letting u know. :thumbup:

after testing for the last few hours on b7 with zzmoove optimised, after uninstalling Nova launcher 2.1.1 everything seems to be good. There must be something wrong with Nova 2.1.1. as it was running all cores up for some reason. Trebuchet is running nicely...

Beta 8 downloading....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
I do not know about Nova is not so good.

Otherwise beta8 seems absolutely no problems at gov.pegasusq, I'm going to test zzmoove who had problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Jeshuuu:
What is the problem of zzmove 0.5?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
Theoretically no to someone meets someone 0.3 and 0.5 is enhanced to a test that is stable and all the best
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bounti:
Can increasing the values for the external SD-Card Tweaks or Scheduler damage the sd card?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
No, there should be no problem.

I set to 512 and 1028 to house and everything in order

I set the scheduler / ROW / and it seems to me better
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ninolina:
Thank you, AndiP for giving us the option "infinite" for touch-to-wake as I politely asked you. :) It's working great. ;) I will test it over night to report how much battery it's taking.

Also beta8 works great in general. No issue at all. :)

THANKS AGAIN. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hm. Be aware, your device will not go into deep sleep anymore.

So could be your phone runs out of battery during the night...

No, will not damage but performance could suffer if your card is not suitable.

In worst case also data could get corrupted, but very unlikely.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
There are some minor issues to be sorted out completely, especially when switching governors.

But seems latest version works ages better already, thanks to great cooperation between ZaneZam, Yank and myself.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ninolina:
Thanks for the warning and I am aware of that possibility but for these about 2 hours it shown not that bad. I lost only about 1,5-2% per hour with Wifi ON, Push Mail ON and a few others demanding apps. :) Also in Battery info in Settings it doesn't show Awake more then usual. :)

I will definitely test it more and report it in the morning. :)

Thanks for all your awesome work! :)

I have to say the wifi really improved with the new beta. Normally my wifi doesn't work well in my bedroom, but now it stays connected! The connection is much more stable, and doesn't breaks that easy. Thx Andi!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
Indeed, it seems that kernel increasingly improved

You do not have any problem
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewfung888:
Any change in zzmoove in b8? I used setting zzmoove-optimized, seems the phone stay in high frequency longer and my phone get hot..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] chaosm:
Please post someone the suitable settings for kernel
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Maceee:
Is it possible to disable that screen fading when locking/unlocking phone?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
What screen fading? I do not have any fading.

Sounds like so in the rom you use.

Sent via Tapatalk2 from my Galaxy S3 IPhone killer
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Maceee:
It can't be ROM. I flashed Omega v43.5 ROM and checked it, there was no fading, but after I flashed your kernel there is screen fading after I press lock button :D

Screen just fades and then locks.

I use Omega v43.5 too and I do not have any fading..

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No. Not really. I do not use Omega rom as I am always on 100% Samsung stock.

The only thing is: Boeffla-Kernel enables CRT-OFF animation in general. Maybe Omega places then some fading effect instead.

But really, you should ask in Omega thread.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Maceee:
Have you done any modifications to wi-fi? Because it takes longer to connect to a network than with stock or Siyah kernel.

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

Sorry guys but I'm back to Siyah 1.9.1. Even though kernel development is stopped it's still more stable than Boeffla and I believe the most stable kernel for I9300. Boeffla needs to improve stability.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lou2s:
I second that. It takes roughly a second longer to connect to my home's, my office's, and my fd's place's router. Not a complaint but just an obversation. Cheers.

Sent from my Boeffla I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, if you would read the change log, you would see the S4 drivers are contained now.

Maybe they take longer to connect, but the connection is much more stable afterwards.

Ok, your choice to move away, no problem.

Just, I cannot and will confirm your statement about stability. Boeffla is known to be 100% stable, especially when you use the stable releases and not the betas.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STAticKY:
Is your phone now charging at 1.1amp now on siyah or still at 700?

TP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pricey2009:
Siyah is the most unstable kernel I have ever used.. boeffla is perfect.

What ever floats your boat I suppose
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Roidred:
Hi I was using beta8 noticed one prob with zmove... when I use poweramp after a while there is lagging sound for the songs and it come back to normal by itself. I used battery friendly profile with z governor . Scheduler is Row.

Didn't find this lag with peg. Also noticed when u load power profile with z gov there is no issue... anyone noticed like this... I have zram Off.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ninolina:
And here is my report about Infinite option for Touch-to-wake:

- battery is draining more then without this option and it about 1,5% per hour (with Wifi OFF) and without Infinite option enabled battery drain is about 0,5% per hour (although it is much it is less then I expected)

- phone definitely doesn't go into Deep Sleep even that in Settings - Battery info doesn't show that phone is awake but BetterBatteryStatus show CPU stays on 200 MHz at the best and never to Deep Sleep.

- CONCLUSION - Even that it do drain battery more it is a useful option for sure.

- I will test it one more day to see how many hours battery can last and how many Screen On hours can it be. :)

Thanks AndiP! :) Great work! :)

p.s. I am on Omega 43.5 too and NO PROBLEM with fading screen as someone reported. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZaneZam:
hi Roidred,

yeah could be i am going a quite radical way with the new battery setting, i raised the sampling rate to 180000 and the sleep multiplier is now 4 in every setting. that alone could maybe lead to such stuttering at sleep but it is very battery friendly (that was the goal *g*) but maybe u can compensate it by increasing the sleep freq limit to 800000 and/or enable fast scaling at sleep and set it to 4 ;) can u try this and report? thx ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Roidred:
I have increased sleep freq limit from 700000 to 800000.

Do I have to continue testing or have to change fast scaling at sleep and set it to 4.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZaneZam:
I would say test with this and if it is not enough try fast scaling in addition. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
yes it seems better to switch scaling and everything goes lépe.Thanks for the information, now being tested
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DocMarc73:
Where do find the fast scaling option?

Using boeffla script manager.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kiszonyogor95:
It's probably gonna be a noobish question, but can I flash this kernel on stock 4.1.2 XXEMD2 firmware? Thanks in advance :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
Yes, you can
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Widget21:
Thanks Andi for a brilliant kernel.... just to report a little quirk when I overclock up to max 1.6 GHz... when I'm running Antutu and cool tool app the CPU only maxes out at 1.4 GHz not 1.6 as it should... whereas 1.5 GHz works fine... anyone can explain the discrepancy?

Using lulcrativq + row for performance and latest beta 8 kernel.

Cheers.

ZZMoove Version 0.5

Hi Guys,

as promised i would like to throw in the long awaited changelog/description of the new zzmoove governor version 0.5 but this time in form of a seperate THREAD where all the infos will be collected and updated in the future. atm it's a dump of the previous version posts + the recent changes of zzmoove governor 0.5. it's not entirely ready and here and there not yet right formated or "over-texted" :o I have to polish this when i have time but i think the relevant info is there and thats the point. if u have zzmoove governor specific questions feel free to ask it in this thread, but i have to mention in the next two weeks i'm very busy at work so answers might be highly delayed ;)

currently i've no time to spread this info so "guys from other threads" if u see this... my appreciation for doing it, thx!! :)

so enjoy!

regards

[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
Will be waiting for the stable one instead :D though I see that the beta8 will be the last beta for 2.12 :D [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] quite an extensive changelog for 0.5 lol

Beta 8 is working nicely here on zzmove optimized. It seems Nova was partly the cause of my issues.

Need to find a suitable launcher replacement now :confused:

My test results

I have tested with 800000 and results are satisfactory. This time noticed 1 sec lag in sound may be and comes back to normal so this doesn't bother me.

I wanted something which is smooth and not fast with a good battery... I think zmove falls in this quadrant thanks Zane I read your op for zmove, Now I understands how it works.... Thanks again :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Reni10:
Is the Disable Wifi multicast feature from Entropy included in this kernel?

I have some very noisy wifi networks that I connect to and without this feature my wlan wakelocks increase dramatically!

If it is not in there it would be great to have this a a feature that could be switched on and off by the user.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fanistic:
Andi just tried the latest beta 8 and the mic issue reoccurs. Honestly thought we had solved this. Stable kernel though but mute mic is a deal breaker.

Samsung Galaxy S III I9300

Omega v43 Jelly Bean 4.1.2

Boeffla-Kernel Version 2.12 beta2a

Alexander theme.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Not, it is not included. Had it in previously, many months ago.

However it did cause issues so I dropped it again.

Maybe I will reimplement it after 2.12 for another test.

What? Cannot be.... nooooooooooooo :eek:

Nothing changed in between beta7 and beta8.

Can you pls do me a favour and:

- flash beta7a again, test

- flash beta8 again, test

And if there are really differences, I will compile you a special version again.

Also, please send me a debug info file please.

It seems, Omega Rom really does weird things. Hm.

At least I got my development s3 already now, so could probably install Omega as well and give it a try.

EDIT: Just in case... I prepared already a test version for you, it is stored under the well known dropbox link we used for our previous tests. Curious....

Thanks

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Avantiel:
after using 2.11 flawlessly on purelook HD rom, i decided to try 2.12 beta 8. to my observation, battery drain was very high using the same settings from 2.11 such as lulzactive and -75uV and slight OC. Atleast i thought the battery was draining fast. seems to be incorrect readings. because i fell asleep with my phone next to me with about 20% battery last night. woke up this morning., the led was flashing and the screen refused to turn on this morning. had to do a battery pull, and realised my battery life jumped o 78% without being charged!

other minor problems that i cant recreate, such as random wifi drops, very low cell signal and data service dropping (could be the network too i guess)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

something is severly wrong with your setup it seems.

The issues you mention are all not normal.

Install BetterBatteryStats to find out what drains your battery. It cannot be the kernel, otherwise all others would have it as well.

Also try a pegasusq based governor for a test, maybe lulzactive had some issue.

Wifi drops: Sounds not very likely to me it has been caused by kernel. However, I have to admit I moved wlan drivers to the s4 drivers. Which caused something like 99% positive feedback so far (me included).

Cell data and data service dropping - this is nothing the kernel has to do something.

I would flash back to latest kernel you used, test again, flash again beta8 (via odin or mobile odin if possible, cwm zip is not a very stable thing as it cannot detect any file corruption during download). Or go via load&flash from boeffla-tweaks app, this also checks the integrity of the file.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] netchow:
Hey Andi, I am a long time user of Boeffla even though I don't comment here a lot. Amazing battery life, Boeffla is the reason I still didn't upgrade to 4.2.2. Thank you for that! Anyway, today I saw this complain about the mute mic. I have to say I experience it as well. Some times (seems random to me...) the microfone just don't work. Restarting the phone gets it back no normal.

Currently I am using UltimaROM but I also experienced this with DarkyROM and DeltaROM. So it doesn't seem to be ROM related. And I am pretty sure this has been happening even before I upgrade to my current Boeffla version (I am still using beta7a, will upgrade at home tonight to beta8).

If there is a fix for this issue I would definately be interested! Thanks for the support! =]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Reni10:
Please do put it back in with maybe a switch to enable or disable then if it is causing issues for certain people it can be easily switched off.

Have had to move to Adam Kernel in the mean time as the battery drain from the multicast packets on my wifi networks was halving my battery life!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bounti:
Don't know why, the HW Equalizer setting for Boeffla Sound doesn't remain on after restarting my phone. The setting apparently doesn't save. Anyone else having this problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I guess you are using the boeffla sound app?

If yes, check if you have a busybox installed separately, as described in play store for boeffla sound app as requirement.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hnernes:
This is probably a stupid question, but here it goes: does any of the sound tweaks affect sound through bluetooth in any way (when connected to a bluetooth audiodevice)?

Beta 8 is very fluid fast smoother than before, maybe it consumes more than 7a,wifi connection delay is there but not big deal.Really Great work

I'm still on Beta7a and I have no issues with the Mic... Gonna flash Beta8 asap for report.

I flashed Beta8... so far I have no issues with Mic, Data Signal, WiFi Signal or Boeffla Sound App.

I must say that every time that I flash a new version of Boeffla Kernel I reset the configuration via Boeffla Config App and I reset Data from Boeffla Sound with Titanium Backup (doing this since long time ago)

Doesn't affect me as I don;t video call as a rule and voice calls work fine.

Also Beta 8 working sweetly. 70% left, 2.5hrs screen time, more than happy with that...

Smooth as silk too ;)
