Hello Andi,

I've been testing beta2 for two days now, same rom, same settings and usage than with beta 1, very good again but less battery life than with beta1, i would say between 10 and 20% less. I don't know if you got some others feedbacks, anyway results are still very good, I still manage to reach 5 hours on screen (wifi on) for around 1 day total.

Before flashing I used the "clear" zip you provided on your website and in this thread. Works well altough it also deleted completely the initd folder. No big issue too because when flashing the new one it recreated it but others "mods"I had inside were deleted. i restored it after.

Then after, no issues during the week-end except one short loss of internal sound (headset not working), switched auto to speakers, solved after a reboot.

Thanks again Andi for providing us this kernel, it is becoming very famous:good:, lots of developers are now including it in their aroma Installer:cool:

2.2b2 seems to provide best battery ever (without measuring scientifically) more important for me is

Its rock solid

Sounds fantastic

Fast and fluid

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hm, first time report about worse battery life. But I guess we need some more days to confirm or disconfirm that. You know, after flashing the phone sometimes needs 2-3 cycles to fully recover.

About the headset not working, interesting, please let me know if this occurs again. If this is more often we need to find a pattern. Thanks for reporting.

Thanks, funny I have a post about best battery life ever and one post above a report it went worse.

And this shows again - battery life cannot really be compared and measured. There are too many factors influencing that I guess. So, time will show.

I think, tomorrow evening I will release 2.2 finally (with only one little change for my internal debugging). Then I will go on short holidays from Wednesday onwards and return on Sunday.

Thanks to all for reporting and testing. Without you I could not improve this kernel more and more. It is really your hard testing work alltogether which is so helpful.

Hi AndiP,

I tested your kernel on Omega rom 32.1. It is both simple and effective.

I would say that is placed between the phenomenal v.4 which lacks only the possibility to boost the battery and Siyah v1.8 has almost too many settings as possible. Your kernel is really good, by cons as with the other 2, the LightManager v3.3 app loses management notifications Led with certain applications (Sami Mail, Carrer Visual Mess ...).

You can make your kernel compatible with LightManager (it works well with the stock kernel), or it is not really compatible?

thank's for your great work ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

Thanks for your comments.

I am a bit reluctant to believe Boeffla-Kernel breaks LightManager in any way, as it is as close to stock as Phenomenal and much closer than Siyah.

So can you please double check this again?

And if so, you could try to set the three tweak settings in boeffla-kernel.conf to off. Then you have 99,9% stock kernel.

I am sure Lightflow will work fine in the end.

Cheers

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PetritH:
Gonna check this kernel right nauwww.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PetritH:
Rock and stable, i didnt think it would be that good, now just checking the battery life, hope its ok and for me is a keeper.

thanks for the great work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Thanks. I think battery life should be better compared to stock kernel for sure. But you will let us know how it works for you :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] djclark25:
Gonna try this new version now. Been on this kernel for a while now and love it. Great performance and battery life is excellent on LulzactiveQ. Tried the latest Siyah kernel recently and undervolted the CPU and GPU the same as this kernel but battery life was terrible compared to this one!!

One thing I have noticed is that I have used SetCPU to tweak the LulzactiveQ governor. I also have "Set at boot" ticked but when I reboot the settings go back to kernel default. I have no script in init.d that sets these paremeters so is there something hard set in the kernel that reverts these settings? Currently using Omega Rom 33.3

Thanks again for a great kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

no, there is nothing hard set for lulzactive in the kernel.

The only thing I can imagine is: When you want to tweak lulzactive, use SetCPU to set the governor to Lulzactive as well and not the boeffla-kernel.conf.

It could be, setcpu tries to set the values already before the boeffla initialisation script made lulzactiveq active.

But then, should work...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PetritH:
what tweak do u use to underclock or even see if im on lulzactiveq, cuz STweaks is not supported thought.

thanks guys.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I personally do not use lulzactive nor do I underclock.

But I would use voltage control to check if you are on lulzactive.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PetritH:
thank you, im not on lulzactiveq too, also i hate undervolting things, prefer the way it is, also the battery looks kool too, never going to use other kernels... keep updating it bro, thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DonHuan:
AndiP, what's new in v2.21? Is it a silent update or sth? :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ha, you were too fast. I was just about to type the change log here and modify the OP.

But in a nutshell: Only a maintenance update, no new functionality. It basically fixes a rare issue one user reported to me with his particular stock rom (he got a red exclamation mark somewhere).

I only changed the build process to overcome this.

But everyone running happily on 2.2 is not required to flash.

Now changing the OP... :)

Great and responsive!

Just one issue I'm facing don't known what could be causing that, if it's the kernel or my configuration. I've noticed the WiFi gets disabled when I close the screen and turns back on automatically when the screen cows back.

WiFi is already set to Always in the sleep mode.

PS. Using the battery friendly profile.

2.11 stable online

Hi all,

I just released version

2.11 stable

now.

I would recommend another time to reset all kernels settings before moving to 2.11 stable, to avoid any side effects.

Change log (vs. last stable 2.10):

All functionalities of last stable version 2.10 included

Completely built from scratch on latest Samsung sources update10

Scheduler and sd card tweaks (read ahead) can now be configured separately for internal and external sd memory

Settings in Boeffa-Tweaks app can now be saved and restore from within the app (nice if you want to temporarily try new settings, or when you want to change kernel to a newer version in future)

5 predefined profiles in Boeffla-Tweaks app (Power-extreme, Power, Standard, Battery-Friendly, Battery-saving)

Headphone level 62 replaced by maximum level of 63

USB Charge rate 1000 mA added to the selection

New implementation for LED control like fading, blinking, brightness, speed (Thanks to Yank)

System Tweaks disabled per default

New implementation of android logger control (no reboot required anymore after activation/deactivation)

Support for xbox controller

Wifi Mac address changeable

Dynamic Sync Control bug fixes implemented - creditx to Faux, tx to Yank for the heads up

Boeffla-RamFS complete overhaul and optimisation

Compiled with Google 4.7 toolchain

Download as always from the kernel homepage or via load&flash.

Enjoy

Thanks, just a question, is there no zram support? :)

Sent from I9300 - UltimaROM
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
It was included in some 2.11 betas, but for stability reasons I have removed it again.

However, the plans are (refer to roadmap I posted a while ago in this thread) to bring zRam back with the second beta of 2.12.

2.12-beta1

Hi all,

bamm... now we are going fast-track. The latest beta kernel is now available for you:

2.12-beta1

Change Log (vs. last stable 2.11):

All functionalities of last stable kernel 2.11

Linux kernel "upstreamed" from Samsung original version 3.0.31 to latest release 3.0.79 from 19.05.2013 (www.kernel.org)

In short - this kernel has

exactly the same functionalities

than latest stable 2.11, only difference is there are couple of hundreds patches/bugfixes/optimisations included which have been provided while evolving 3.0.31 to 3.0.79.

Basically I would like to ask you to "regression test" this kernel with me. So please test and confirm everything works fine (or even better) with this version than with last 2.11 release. I am quite confident there are no new bug introduced as I am running this version already for the past 1.5 weeks flawlessly.

If the result is positive, we can add some new features again.

Thanks for your support.

Get the kernel as always: homepage or load&flash in boeffla-tweaks app.

Enjoy testing

[Galaxy S III Android Development] seagerfreak:
Does it work on latest Wanamlite release v7.0 Android 4.2.2?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No!

Quoting the OP:

Note: This kernel is only for Samsung based Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.x) roms!!! Do not install it on CM or AOSP based roms!!!

Also do NOT install it on any Samsung 4.2.x based Roms!!! You will just get a boot loop!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
A little typo on the OP Andi :D it still says 2.11 beta1 :)

2.12beta1 test

Testing 2.12beta1_cwm.zip :)

1st impression smoothness fluently great just as the previous 2.11beta7..

Charging device to 100% for battery life..

Previously got over 12hrs with over 7hrs on screen with 2.11beta7..

Edit:

Just have to say this!

2.12beta1 is just best of the rest!

With 2 core pegasusq

Never needed the seeder app on playing games

Very smooth with much, much, much touch responsiveness improvement!

Wow! Who needs a device with 2Gb ram, when boeffla-kernel is in our i9300!

I mean this is just AMAZING AndiP! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tuckycv:
How come I never got more than 3 hours screen time? I do get 25-30 hours of battery life with around 80-90 minutes talk time, I guess I use voice calls too much.

I switch this option on and off all the time when flash kernels.

I think i need to also wait for zanezam. My impression on this kernel is superb!! I really like it. Smooth animations. :D just wanna ask something. Wanna know what would be best good governor for gaming performance and a good batterysaver when it is idle or just using the phone for messaging and internet. Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
This has been answered many times.

For gaming I would recommend overclocking CPU and GPU, and choose lulzactiveq or pegasusq as governor.

For battery saving, either one of the zzmoove variants, or pegasusq boeffla batt save for instance. Whatever you prefer in the end personally, it is also about taste.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] migz012788:
Nope. I dont want to overclock my cpu/gpu :) and i think ill just use the default pegasusq. Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Pretzel Kleo:
With Lulzactiveq as governor you will not need Overclocking CPU & GPU for a good gameplay (at least in the latest versions for me).

[Galaxy S III Android Development] migz012788:
Alright. And is it also a good batt saver? For example you were just using messaging app or internet. Or when it is idle? Because i was looking for a one specific governor that is good in performance and at the same time a battery saver :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZaneZam:
might be Mr. Burns :) as this performance setting make no really big compromises (pegasusq does this with its logic) it switches fast up and down and is the most "nervous one" of all the settings so it stays often on higer frequencies and switches faster/more often cores. if you would use your phone

exactly

the same way as with pegasus then in short, yes :) so if pegasusq gives u the same performance but lesser battery drain then gess what u should use :) sarcastic_mode=off - because that's really not me! *gg* as u know responsiveness/energy consumption it depends also all on your system/app/etc. the usual suspects sooo i think u mentioned "optimized" is the best for u? yeah many zzmoove users like this setting i noticed that. ok this seems to be a good starting point, i think i will concentrate my reconfiguration attempt for zzmoove v0.5 on that setting for now as i have to do a rework on all settings for new v0.5.. :eek: but step by step it's not final yet (yeah still not, sorry).

Hey Andy, just had a weird issue, I had 25% battery and was traveling and forgot my charger, I bought a cheap cable to hook it to my lap for charging, after 2 hours and something my battery was at 4% I'm sending a log for you to see if it had anything to do with kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STAticKY:
When you were using that cheap cable was the battery indicating that it was charging? I have a cable that I picked up somewhere that charges my s2 but not my s3....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DocMarc73:
Hope this not true though! I like performance but not at any price. Will watch this.

Although there is hardly time to test battery, when we get new kernels almost daily. !-)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No wories DocMarc. I am on the same lines with you.

Battery life is one of my most important criteria, as I am a frequent traveller.

I have this kernel version (actually even a newer one) on my phone for the past 10 days - I cannot see any higher battery comsumption.

Please bear in mind, you should give the s3 at least one full charging cycle before battery can really be judged.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
You can stay on beta7 as well. It is 1:1 exactly the same than 2.11 stable, just the version string changed :)

Thanks for the feedback. As for battery life, please let it settle for 1-2 charging cycles and at least for 2 days.

I am running the kernel for 10 days already on my phone and did not see any increased battery consumption in total.

So, you connected it to your laptop. Ok, did you configure USB charge rate maybe to zero or too high?

Did the charging indicator show up after you connected? I know, it is probably hard to remember now in retrospective.

But I can confirm the device loads fine on my USB port.
