Have you by any chance flashed the reset zip in CWM?

You should not flash that unless you have issues with booting up.

In order to get out of fallback mode, please do what the app tells you:

Open the Profile maintenance and select a valid profile. Then it is over again :)

The fallback mode is for people that put wrong settings in (e.g. too much undervolting) so the device does not boot anymore. By flashing the reset zip, it causes the app to go into fallback mode with default settings.

All understood?

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nelsonw:
Extremely useful. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Needless to say, this is - of course - also explained in the online help of the app :)

You would just need to read it :D

Quoting:

b) When the phone does not start anymore

In case you have configured settings that prevent your device from booting up, like too much undervolting, too much overclocking etc, you are ending up in a so called "boot loop".

In this case, please manually enter the recovery mode (boot up your phone with volume-up, home and power keys pressed at the same time) and flash the file boeffla-config-reset-i9300.zip in recovery. You can download this file from the kernel homepage.

This cases the system to enter a special "fallback" mode once during next startup, in fact there will be just no profile settings applied at all. Then you can start the app again and load a working profile or reset the defective profile bck to default values.

Andi .Do you want to update your firmware? for example I9300XXEMG4 and make your Mods
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lkirra:
AndiP

Ok bro, so i do not need to flash reset.zip before flashing boeffla kernel..

I just notice via cpu spy that my device does not go deep sleep?

everything is default except uv-med on cpu ang uv-low on gpu and touchboost max at 1600, zzmove opt.

i think its not normal?

no other tweak use, just the boeffla-config.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ohhhh, I "really feel sorry" :)

When I find some time over the next 2 days, I will flash it and provide at least the extended power menu for it for sure.

Boeffla-Mod I do only when the firmware is worth doing it. This I will tell after some more days then.

Absolutely NO. The reset script is ONLY when you are having issues.

The config app is intelligent enough, so you never need to reset anything anymore. Just if you have a boot loop, then you should use the flashable zip to be able to reboot your s3 again.

Deep sleep:

No, that is not normal for sure.

And the other testers have not reported it too.

Although your screenshot anyways looks weird, looks like the percentages do not match up to 100%. Hm.

Anyways - try a reboot. If that does not help, check via BetterBatteryStats which process is keeping your phone awake.

It will not be the kernel and not be the config app, that I can say for sure.

Just btw... you are not connected to charger or pc via usb? If so, this always prevents deep sleep...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lkirra:
AndiP

Its ok now i think after reboot.

This has just been the 1st time I have reboot after flashing 3.0beta4.

I guest a little reboot always fix small problems. Thanks again bro.

MOD REQUEST:

Can please a mod remove the outdated poll from this thread?

It seems I am not able to do that myself.

Many thanks

Andi if row is faster and most of user use it why cfq is the default ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
You mean generally? -> Because Samsung decided CFQ to be the default scheduler (according to Linux standards).

In my kernel? -> I always want to be close to stock out of the box, but giving the users the option to change it. Think this is the fairest approach.

AND: Row also has drawbacks, especially when you write continuosly data to e.g. the external SD memory (e.g. video recording). It can cause issues and stutter as ROW always prioritizes Read Over Write.

So, it is a good a fast scheduler, but not always the best.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] donteo:
Ty man for fast reply :) :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PedroMedeiros:
[MENTION=947981]AndiP[/MENTION], I want /sbin dir with execution permission, so I use this command: chmod -R a+x /sbin

Sometimes it works, others doesn't, it gives me this error: "chmod: /sbin: Read-only file system"

I know it is kernel related because I flashed back perseus and /sbin is with execution permissions out of the box! ;)

PS: I am using boeffla 3.0 beta4

I hope you configure ZRAM with LZ4 in future ;)

I fixed my issue with hard swap script in init.d with this code before swapon:

zram_state=`cat /sys/block/zram0/initstate`
while [ $zram_state -eq 0 ]
do
zram_state=`cat /sys/block/zram0/initstate`
sleep 2
done

Now Zram is used first, then my swap partition :D

Other question, how could I port master sequence from perseus to your kernel only by copying files and load modules? Is that possible? Stock screen colours looks bad... I don't want to calibrate RGB colour channels or colour temperature, only enable master sequence feature ;)

i made a clean rom install (omega). then i installed whatsapp plus mode. when receiving a message led was blinking. after installing kernel 2.13 led isnt blinking anymore when receiving a message. any help?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] botellito:
Where? In the boeffla app the led fading is set to normal...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Macchinista:
I have your configuration, in my case everything is ok. Do you have light manager or other app used to configure light notifications? If yes, you probably have to enable Android logger in boeflla app
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DocMarc73:
Hey Andi, may i ask which schedulers you are using personally and why?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
Dunno if this is really boeffla kernel related but i thought i should ask as well. So my question is... (For Stock ROM users) do you guys experience some stutters on the app drawer, messages, contacts and settings while scrolling? Or is this normal on TouchWiz?

EDIT:

[MENTION=947981]AndiP[/MENTION]

The stutters disappear when i change governors but after my SIII goes to standby the stutters goes back again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Surfinette:
Well, I'm on Miui, based on stock, and I experience some random stutters, but only when swiping between home screens. This has started only a few days ago without me changing anything to my phone except upgrading the kernel, so now that you are asking, I wonder if it's not kernel related, except that I don't understand the logic...

3.0-beta5

Good morning,

new day, new kernel. Although it only adds the support of presets for the Boeffla-Config app (where I will push a major update to playstore in the next hour). So, no other changes.

3.0-beta5

Change Log (vs last stable 2.13)

* All functionalities of last stable version 2.13

* Upstream to Linux kernel 3.0.87 from 22.07.13 (www.kernel.org)

* Internal Kernel Busybox updated to version 1.21.1 again

* Touch-to-Wake reworked to have higher compatibility with apps using the proximity sensor (credits to Yank555)

* Preparation in kernel to add some future features into the config app soon (tunables + presets)

* To configure the kernel, please use exlusively the new app "Boeffla-Config", available for free in Google playstore

* The former Boeffla-Tweaks app is now history and will be automatically deinstalled (also not be supported anymore)

* Early suspend time is now configurable (for crt-off animation support) between 0=off and 700 ms (default is 100 ms)

Available as always: Simplest via Load&Flash in Boeffla-Config, or also via Kernel homepage.

Enjoy

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
/sbin: Why would you want sbin to be executable? Just asking about the background.

LZ4: Is there any strong indication already, LZ4 is better than snappy compression? If so, in which way and which kernel did you verify with it?

Master sequence: I doubt this can be done as a module or just by copying files. I never looked into it honestly, as I am not interested in it at all. Sorry.

Yes, ROW for internal and CFQ for external memory.

Reason is: internal memory is mostly read access, so I prefer row. External memory is many times (for me) also write access, so I prefer the good old cfq.

Well, what can I say... I do not have stutter at all. But I also do not use TouchWiz but Nova launcher always.

Micro stutters are an issue with all Sammy based roms, we will never get rid of them completely.

Personally I have not experienced any increased stutter over the last kernel versions, but maybe this is due to my configuration.

What governor do you use, and which governor profile?

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
i'm using zzmoove - battery as my governor. I'm not sure on what you meant by governor profile though.

(are those the profiles on the "others" settings of the tweaks app?)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ok, I somehow expected this :)

Can you please, just for a test, move to zzmoove optimized, or to pegasusq. Just to compare it?

zzmoove has lots of new features built in, also different frequencies (or better limits) when screen is off. Maybe that is an indicator.

So, would be good if you could verify.

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
Yep. I already tried those governors and like I said earlier it just goes back after the phone goes to standby. (screen off then on)

Perhaps SetCPU is interfering with this frequencies?

Just tried freezing it still the same.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, clearly... if any other apps are interfering (setcpu, android tuner, system tuner, voltage control, trickster... whatever) then it can be looking for a needle in a haystack.

I would therefore strongly recommend to freeze all these apps and reboot afterwards.

As I do not face that on my three S3 devices (using zzmoove optimal), I guess something might be still interfering for you.

But honestly, thats all I can say for the moment...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
App beta9

Just to let you know, I just pushed a major update of the Boeffla-Config app (version 1.0-beta9) to play store.

1.0-beta9

- Renaming of profiles supported

- Start screen configurable

- Preset support for "noob" users

- Load&Flash shows kernel versions in dialog

- Kernel image file after Load&Flash archived with version information

- Code optimisations

- Text corrections

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
I think i found the culprit lol it's the settings power saving mode of the SIII. Do you have Power saving mode on Andi?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, I never use this power saving mode.

I trust more to use zzmoove battery saving profile + reduce CPU by myself.

Reason is: I always disliked the stuttery display when using power save mode.

Good finding!

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
Yeah the stutters are really gone now. What a bummer lol I have my phone for around 7months now and i thought those stuttery displays were normal lol.

Thanks again for your guidance andi :D (Can't use the thank button again cause I used up all 8 today xD )
[Galaxy S III Android Development] adrenalin100:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] SignetSphere:
Yes. Look at the previous page :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
LOL.

It is out already :)

Just the app might take a few more hours... Google distribution takes time...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DocMarc73:
Just open Google play - my apps - scroll to boeffla config. Once you tap on boeffla config you'll be given the option to update.

One word. Amazing!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZaneZam:
ah, now i know what u meant.. no you can't configure it exaclty like that atm. all cores are coming up in a row if up_threshold_hotplug exceeds. that is because the implemented code reads only that one value. but good idea let me think about that.. i would have to put in 3 such values to be able to configure cpu's independently hmmm. ok as i was going to review the code anyway these days i will check that. Honestly i was never 100% satisfied with that quite rudimentary hotplug logic so i did a comment in the source code which says: "...not optimal but it works for now" ;) funny that your request matches exactly.. hehe..

thx, as i said you are a very accurate looking/thinking dude :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ok, then sorry for my wrong information I gave yesterday.

Thought gws is referring to pegasusq, not zzmoove.

Different topic then :)

And again... all zzmoove credits go to ZaneZam and some other guys, who put lots of work into it. And I am sure he will even improve it further. Agree with you, big potential !!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, it works. But for maximum stability you should consider to remove the init.d scripts of the rom. It might (!) cause conflicts, at least some users reported everything ran more stable when they removed it.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] msurg:
Thanks for this great kernel.

I am using it since 2.1 stable and never had wifi issues until now.

I installed 2.3-beta6 two days ago and since then wifi doesn't wake up from deep sleep. In setup "Keep wifi on during sleep" is "only when plugged in" which I have been using for a long time.

The only solution is turning off and on wifi.

Just wanted to let you know.

Again thanks for this great kernel.

PS: I am on stock 4.1.1
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

thanks for the report. This is strange as nothing has been touched in between on wifi at all.

Hm. Have no clue atm. Also I never use this setting.

Have you tried flashing back 2.1, whether it then works again? Maybe something else has changed and it also does not work with 2.1 anymore?!?

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pinguy1982:
Just an idea, but have you ever thought about making the kernel CWM.zip place the boeffla-kernel folder automatically onto the SD card, with your ideal settings?

If you add a folder structure like this in the CWM.zip

/data/media/boeffla-kernel/boeffla-kernel.conf

Then add this to the updater-script

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
set_perm_recursive(1023, 1023, 0777, 0777, "/data/media/boeffla-kernel");

People won't have to create the folder their self as it will get placed onto the SD card as they are flashing the kernel.

MERRY CHRISTMAS - CHRISTMAS GIFT - Stable version 2.3

Hi all,

first of all, I wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Hope you have some nice and peaceful days, celebrating within your families and friends.

As a small gift, I compiled the "christmas version" of Boeffla-Kernel today. It is the final release 2.3 now.

Download and all further information can be found on the Kernel Homepage or in the OP.

Have a great Christmas time

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

initially I thought about it, yes. But thought might be easier for people to just create this folder with a file manager, as I still know people not having root nor a custom recovery installed.

By the way - the best recommended settings (at least what I think of) are automatically applied when you have no folder created. So, all users not creating this folder are already leveraging from many new features.

Andi

Boeffla app keeps changing my governor to lulzactiveq no matter what I choose. Anyone else?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Then it is not the boeffla config app doing it.

Then it is most likely another app you use, which can change the governor... like:

setcpu, voltagecontrol, android tuner, system tuner, trickster mod etc...

Check for other apps, and if you are in doubt, mail me the bc.log files from your boeffla-kernel-data folder, so I can see what the app tries to set.

Thanks

[Galaxy S III Android Development] albiGib:
No other apps, only have crossbreeds, and project extreme mods flashed, but never caused an issue.?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, cannot further comment without looking into your log files.

Maybe one of the mods placed a script to push governor to lulzactiveq. I do not know as I never use that kind of voodoo mods.

However, you can go into settings of Boeffla-Config app and reset the app completely there. Then your system reboots. And if you then still have lulzactiveq, we know more...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] nelsonw:
BTW load&flash its a little buggy. First time today, was fine, screen went off and the progress dissapeared. Maybe an Download Completed screen? I tried again and when rotated the screen, progress dissapeared again. Now when i go to Load&Flash, Says Stable() and Test() without the current versions... :confused:

And L&F wipes the chaches after flashing? bc just flased and Boeffla config FCs and appeared Boeffla Tweaks! So I cleared the chaches on TWRP and now everything works!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] albiGib:
I think the problem is solved now andi. Thank you for your help!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hm, could be I need to make the dialog modal. Have not checked if I did it so far.

When it says stable and test without version numbers, it means the app could not read the versions from the network. Maybe will also improve that by not showing any test then :)

L&F does NOT wipe caches, no. As this is typically not required for a kernel flash. It only downloads, flash, reboots.

But yes, I think not everything is already perfect so far in the app. Would be a big miracle if so, as I started coding it only 5 weeks ago while doing my full day work in parallel.

Good to hear. What was it in the end? One of the init.d scripts on your phone, from one of the tweaks you use? Or something different which interfered?

Thanks

You do not need to reset something anymore, than in previous time.

/sbin with +x permissions provide scripts execution without root privileges because my commands like clear, ifconfig, ls... are linked to busybox

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
donleong: Nothing to do for you.

When flashing 3.0 on top of 2.13, you anyway need to reconfigure your kernel with the new app.

The old boeffla tweaks app is then automatically gone, and with it all previous settings :)
