Overall, this kernel is great. The only problem I'm having is flickering in a couple apps, specifically BBQLog and WootWatcher.

BBQLog flickers when it's first opened, but only if there are no changes listed in the log. It's not common and only happens once each time.

The bigger problem is WootWatcher. It flickers constantly for as long as it's open.

Neither of these apps flicker on the stock kernel, which is why I'm posting this here. The flickering is the only problem I've experienced with your kernel, and it's relatively minor, but I use both apps enough that it gets extremely annoying.

Edit: When I submitted this post and the XDA Premium app sent me back to the thread, it flickered, too. The flickering is very inconsistent except with the first two apps I mentioned.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
Yup, still trying to track this down. For now, disabling hw overlays will stop it.

Thanks! There's def flickering. Not too bad tho but there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
For folks with flicker issues, let me know if this build fixes it. Getting some reports it's gone.

Downloading now to test it out...

Edit: I haven't seen any flicker yet since flashing the test/newest build
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
No flicker in either BBQLog or WootWatcher with the test build. I'd say we have a winner. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CyberGmonster:

Here's something to play with... http://goo.gl/hWE5b

MOAR merges and the addition of Faux's simple gpu governor from his Sensation days. There's is no app besides Faux's app that can set the gpu gov at this moment. Trickstermod will automatically show performance, even tho it's simple. You will either need to leave it as is upon flashing (BMS defaults) without any app on-boot settings, or go enter in the values manually via terminal:

echo 'simple' > /sys/class/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/pwrscale/trustzone/governor

This is experimental, so do not consider this stable, although it's been ok for me and a few testers so far.

Noticing any improvements in battery life, tethering, etc? Did you just flash the mod or customize stuff as well? I'm interested in using it but my set-up is nearly flawless right now and I don't want to screw it up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CyberGmonster:
Not really, or anything that I can notice. Been running it for a few days now and my battery life seem about the same, under clocked/volted, illusion 2.0, can't say much about tethering since I don't use it. Try it. It shouldn't hurt anything. Just nand before you do.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kingy9000:
Yah seriously, "Oh I am so badass, I never nandroid" You could have just said "Instead of using nandroids I use Titanium Backup" And Nandroids are quite useful especially when you flash a ROM and have it all set up before you put on any mods so in case of emergency you can flash that Nandroid. :p

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
CM is a good choice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] das_webos_transformer:
I use tibu for games occationaly, but really, I end up with a GB of a backup I'll never use. Its good you nandroid, I've had times where I've screwed my phone and wished I had a backup. Day after I got my phone, I flashed an ICS kernel on accident and phone wouldn't boot, I didn't have an SD card for clockworkmod to use. So I had to download a kernel off of my tablet onto an sdcard and flash a kernel to use my phone, I had made a backup but clowkwork, as usual for me, screwed me and made a nonexistent backup to the extsd(nonexistent) I couldn't use for anything. Since then I decided to keep a ROM I can flash no matter what on my phone as a backup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chriswbush:
So what is this simple governor I see for this kernel? Lol and any recommendations for trickster mod? Like what should be on and ect or maybe show a screen shot of your setup?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
Faux123's kgsl gpu governor. Prevents GPU from hitting max all the time. No real need to change anything, run it as is with the defaults I have set :)

Already getting better battery life than stock CM kernel. I absolutely hated it. I was tempted to port a version of Franco's kernel to the S3 with similar features but I just never got around to it. Normally by the end of the day barely using my phone I would be around 30 or 40 percent but right now I am at 73 percent. I support your future endeavors with development for this kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] icepuente:
Would you mind posting the default Ondemand tunables? I am just asking because I am affected by the startup scripts defaulting to interactive and cfq. The script shouldn't load it's own default tunables correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
No startup scripts are included in my kernel. I do things slightly different ;)

My guess would be:

Check /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh and look for the lines under the msm8960 section for "interactive" and "cfq". Either comment them out or remove them and then save the file. Easiest way is with a root file explorer so it can perform /system mount for rw. After that, just reboot and you'll default to ondemand/row.

Alternatively, you can use any kernel app to perform on boot changes. Apps like SetCPU and Trickstermod should work just fine.

I'm using the 6-16 version of this kernel on liquidsmooth and it's been rock solid with great battery even when over clocked and 25mv undervolt.

I tried updating to 7-1 and it became unstable for me even with cache wipes. I'd get random reboots multiple times per day even if I removed the oc and uv.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sabrecat21:
I'm on LiquidSmooth 2.8 with the BMS 6-16 kernel, OCd to 1836, UVd 25mV across the board and running Dancedance gov with Row scheduler.

I am averaging about 3-4% per hour with light-moderate usage. Texts, a few short game stints here and there, IMs and email.

Right now after taking it off the charger just before 8am, its 1:30pm and I'm at 78%

Thx! I know this app..

but looks like something wrong now with kernel... cos on stock cm I see USB on my PC buy with last this kernel I do not see any USB or CD :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sabrecat21:
So with initial testing the 714 version is a lot better than the 701 version for me. It's still giving me some fits, but nowhere near as bad.

It's really strange because the 616 kernel is rock solid for me with the undervolt and overclock. I have absolutely NO issues.

With the 701 I was getting a lot of reboots at the same settings, and even with no OC I'd still occasionally get it.

with 714 I'm getting an occasional sleep of death with the same OC/UV but haven't tested enough to see if removing those will solve it.

I'll keep fiddling and report back in a day or two.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
Works correctly here.

Do you have fast charge enabled?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FreddyFredFred:
I too am having reboots and sleep of death on 7/1 and 7/14. If you figure it out, let me know :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Notorious:
I thought I was the only one :eek: at first I thought it was the ROMs until I flashed another kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
You guys adjust the voltages at all or everything is stock BMS values? I would start up'ing the voltages across the board by 5-10 until you are stable. Some units just can't handle it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FreddyFredFred:
I haven't undervolted. I lowered my oc to 16xx and it still happens.

I don't have time to play with it this morning so I just went back to the stock kernel with cm10.1.

I have to go to work :{
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sabrecat21:
On 616 I was undervolted by 25mV and max OC and it was completely stable.

71 and 714 have not been but I am testing 714 today with the voltages at stock but with maximum OC to see if that improves my issue.

I installed 714 again last night and got everything set and so far it woke up fine this morning. I'll keep testing throughout the day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalico17:
Running the latest with CM and every time I adjust kernel settings in the built in performance tab I get random reboots. Nothing if I leave it stock tho.. Just a quick batt drain. Anyone else exp this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
Don't use built in perf settings. Grab trickstermod from the Play store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Notorious:
I always adjust the voltage. On 6-16 I was under volted -150 and had no issues at all what so ever. I am undervolted -150 and under clocked to 1.3Ghz and using Wheatley governor. Also flashed Ktoons and I'm undervolted the same with no issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sabrecat21:
So after having it sit all night stable and this morning stable on stock value 714.

Battery life was not as good, of course seeming to be about 7%/hr.

I went into Trickster and dropped it by 25mV and within 10 minutes I had a reboot. After it came back up I let it sit and it rebooted again.

Flashed back to 616 and it appears stable. Undervolted 25mV and it was fine for an hour. Undervolted another 25 (50 total) and it's still holding steady for almost 2 hours now.

1836 (max) OC, -50 UV, dancedance gov, row sched

Battery is being sipped at around 3-4% again.

Dunno why. But it looks like 616 is the one I'm staying with. Not complaining by any means, GideonX. I think this kernel is tremendous and I appreciate the work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FreddyFredFred:
Well, I unchecked my 'restore on boot' settings in the built in performance settings and reflashed the latest kernel.

Not a single reboot (that I noticed) in the past couple hours.

I haven't tried to adjust anything with TM yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] the_mentor:
Can someone explain what underVolting the CPU does and are the advantages and disadvantages?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chriswbush:
Advantages are better battery life disa advantages are some phones can't handle a certain under volt and you really have to find a sweet spot so it doesn't lag and ect when you do under volt just find the in between is the hard part
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
Careful with the undervolt, you may actually end up wasting more resources by starving your cpu resulting in worse battery life and stability.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chriswbush:
I use the stock voltage table provided in the first post in the ktoonz thread you had it at 975 voltage across from 189-800 something I believe in the kernel before you had them set to 1050 across lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
1150 is the default min in stock, even if that table says otherwise. BMS removes that min so that number hasn't been seen in quite some time. I ended up at 975 after some trial and error. It was just about the safest spot for the majority of people. There really are some that won't tolerate anything lower than 1150.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] swiggs98:
7-14 working great for me... Much smoother than 7-1. Looks like we have some new bcm blobs in store for us in the next version.

I haven't fooled with underclocking/undervolting in quite sometime as it seemed to be more trouble than it was worth. The battery savings was not measurable for me. Some devices handle it better and perhaps is worth it for them.

Edit: my device handles undervolting better than underclocking for some reason.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chriswbush:

Use droidDrive you can get the latest beta from the xda post you just put iso files in the droidDrive folder and it let's you either mount them ad usb drives or as CDs if you select CDs then because of the patches these isos will also be boot able

So you can put a windows 7 iso mount it and boot from it so you can install windows for example
