Just tried that turbo mod.

miracle, works fine, zram is not used at all :)

booted faster, apps loads faster, free ram about 80MB with two apps locked and some heavy apps in background.

way to go :)

Losco, you should try it :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
I don't know if I'm the only one, but I got a couple of crashes with my last kernel, which didn't lead to an automatic reboot, so the device just froze.

I suspect there's a relation between the timer rate used for Interactive (30us) and the DSP Bridge driver. I'll try few things and see what happens, I'd like to see why there are issues with too low sampling rate with this 3.0 kernel when compared to the old 2.6.35 kernel, in which I've always set 30us for ondemand.

If you have issues, replace /system/lib/hw/power.latona.so (it's changing the sampling rate of ondemand to 30us, so there could be the same problem) using any of the previous included in the zip of the ROM and switch to ondemand (Interactive, with no power HAL, will use the default timer rate of 20us).

There's not much I can do for svnet, it's a wakelock used when mobile data is on. It's a standard wakelock among Samsung devices. Actually, it can be adjusted, but it could mess up the connectivity:

su
echo 6000 > /sys/devices/virtual/net/svnet0/waketime #6000 = 6seconds, default value
cat /sys/devices/virtual/net/svnet0/waketime #optional. It shows the current value

PowerManagerService on the other hand depends on partial wakelocks. With no partial wakelocks, its total time would be zero.

Uhmm, I will try again and see what happens.

Perfect, thanks for reporting.

The problem with swap partitions is that they are usually slow. To be fair, I've only used it on old computers with slow HDDs, eMMCs should be a lot faster.

Anyway, I'm quite sure the init script used to create the swap parition is changing the swappiness value to 100. FYI the default value used in CM is 30. See the Wiki page for more info, commands etc. You need to run 'su' for most of them. That could also the reason why you notice a difference in the use of your swap partitions.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cukierkas:
Yes, phone started to lag a little bit after the night. So you are saying that zram is better than swap? To say the truth, I already noticed that with zram phone in some days stage holds freshness better. Will give one day more to see the swap routine :)

About bt one more thing. Today it hanged at connected state twice. Needed to reboot. No logs, sorry

Edit. Here is the script.

http://www.speedyshare.com/zdjXF/98swap-cache-v300

And you're right, swappiness=100

changed to 30. will see during the day behavior.

Getting the idea, that losco, as cheaf of band of old wolves, can't be fooled by such amazing turbo super mods :)

StUCKED

Hi, I am on version 20131106 from last week. But from yesterday the menu button and back button are not responding, but it lights up when I have unread notifications. and sometimes the touchscreen also not responding, what may be the problem..?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cukierkas:
Try to clear cache and dalvic, that helps me when device behaves unproperly.

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ramezabd:
Not helped, done wipe cache, and downgrading..but no hope
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cukierkas:
then reflash the rom.

if that won't help, return to gb.

if that won't help - consider of looking for specific hardware problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ramezabd:
Reflash the latest version..?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Drizzt_Kueh:
Yes.

First, after reflashing the rom, without flashing the gapps, test the menu and back buttons. If they're work ok, maybe you got a problem with the gapps zip file (could be the wrong version or didn't downloaded ok).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sh7adeh:
you dont know what you are talking about .. menu and back button stop responding due to known hardware problem in sl i9003

if you are lucky you can try rice method ! google it :p or you should replace the panel

btw its caused by litle drop of water or sweat and usually happen when phone stay in your pocket for long time
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ramezabd:
BTW, it was working fine from the last week, and yesterday it worked for 5 hours. after that it became same (not working), will try a clean flash, but feels lazy to do
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cukierkas:
Hello there. After some days of swap partitions and swappiness testing, made some conclusions. It lags :)

Better situation is to make swap partitition on class10 memory card, it runs really good, but can't connect afterwards to pc to exchange to files :) + while testing burned one memory card:rolleyes:

zram uses more cpu, that goes to shorter battery life. but not much, maybe 5%-10% per session (in my situation about 0,5hrs of screen time). and zram usage depends on apps usage and hidden apps quantity. I'm heavy multitasker, so my best configuration would be zram 26% with 15 hidden apps or swap partition on fast sd memory card with 200MB partition. didn't checked on any benchmark, I dont care about the points, best test for me is office, exchange, gallery and dialer apps usage. to add xda premium, that would lead to new device :)

now other things. in my opinion 3g always on leads to shorter battery. that wasn't so high on 1028th keržnel. but thats only my thoughts, have no straight evidence to proof that.

and third thing, no sudden reboots, sods what ever similar to it. rom is rock solid, but only backside is bluetooth. it hangs in paired mode, even if one of devices disconnected. was really fine at first days of kernel install, but now have 2 to 3 hang-ups per day. ant bt doesn't turns on automaticaly with third app in certain time after flight mode. I have said that while ago, but I need to repeat myself. after reboot everything is fine till flight mode or bt device disconnection.

regards, happy user

kernel-cm-10-20131123-galaxysl-signed.zip

The crashes were due to the overclock, somehow Interactive (and maybe it's the same with ondemand with a fast sampling rate) made it unstable.

I also fixed the problems with the DSP frequency scaling. They were also due to the faster polling rate of the CPU workload.

If you have SODs/freezes/reboots and you are overclocking the device, set 1GHz as max frequency.

Other than that, there are now 14MB less of reserved RAM.

EDIT: and I've also reverted few netfiler changes which are not for Android 4.1.

Patches on GDrive.

[MENTION=5060424]ramezabd[/MENTION]

As [MENTION=4383555]sh7adeh[/MENTION] said, it's a quite known hardware issue. It tends to happen with high humidity, but not only.

LEDs work for notifications because they have nothing to do with the touchscreen, which is made of both the screen and the touchkeys and hence they stop working all together. LEDs don't light up on touch because it's the touchscreen to send the "light up" command to the LEDs, but they do work.

FYI zRAM (and KSM) is what Google suggests for devices with 512MB of RAM running Android 4.4.

I've also planned to update zRAM with some upstream fixes and optimizations, I will do that when I have some spare time.

EDIT 2: Oops, I've already included some patches. I didn't test them properly, I didn't want to include them in this build...

I will look at the changes, that's around when I was messing with the driver of the modem. The only change that could do anything was changing the owner of the UART (now it's MODEM), but I don't know if that could affect battery life. It's also true that there are several users of other Samsung devices with other OS other than Android (ie: Bada) saying that switching from AP UART to CP UART do something, so...

I currently don't have much free, but I will try to see what's wrong with Bluetooth. I just don't use it, so it's hard for me to notice issues.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sh7adeh:
still have no signal after flashing latest qwerty rom did i miss any patches for the signal ? also every time i reboot to recovery i can see that system, data, emmc and sd card unmounted even if i mount

Edited: sorry two more clean flash and everything well
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] catarifrangente:
Very cool releases everytime! I'm upgrading roms and kernels without clean flashing and I get always a smooth experience. Only camera has bugs in 720p recording. Battery is good considering that I have a 2 years old battery. IMHO this is the most stable rom. Keeeeeeep it up!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cukierkas:
Hello, one short observation. When zram partition nearly filled up, phone starts to lag, as with full swap partition. Increased to 26%, now it's better, doesn't fill up fully, maximum till 60%. One question, zram doesn't cleans itself, it's stores data till reboot, and afterwards fills it again?

Thanks for updating. It's seams that phone really got real hardware upgrade :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] barrubba:
so you have reboot and flash last version without format data and system, without wipe cache and dalvik?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] catarifrangente:
I always wipe cache and dalvik when flashing new stuff, but did not format system or partition.

kernel-cm-10-20131125-galaxysl-signed.zip

EDIT: What the... I'll fix the link ASAP.

EDIT2: Done.

Overclock lowered to 1.1GHz. At this frequency, there's no need to disable SmartReflex, which will automatically find the best voltage (which should be quite lower than before). I can't say if this will work for everyone, SmartReflex causes instant reboots at 1.2GHz on my device. I don't know why it worked perfectly with the old kernel, but there are so many differences in the code that it's really hard to find what's wrong.

The sysfs interface I added to set custom voltages is still available, but it will allow you to read the current calibrated voltages only, you can modify them only when SmartReflex is disabled:

cat /sys/power/vdd_opp*

I also made PDA the owner of the UART as it was before and minor changes compared to my previous release.

See my kernel repo on Github for the changes.

I really don't know what's wrong with video recording. It took me quite some work to make video recording decent at 480p, but I then got bored and moved to something else. I've never cared that much about video recording and I've spent already some time working on it. I'll maybe look into that again, but I've been mostly working on improving the stability and the performance lately.

Data inside a swap partition changes continuosly, the kernel does everything automatically. Since the partition is inside the RAM, a reboot will clear the data for sure. You can force a purge of the data at runtime with

su
swapoff /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0

But that shouldn't be required.

This is like the third or fourth time you ask this...

Format /system if you enjoy wasting time. The updater-script will do that anyway, no matter what you did before. The only difference will be that if you don't format /system manually, /system/etc/hosts and gapps are automatically saved and restored after the flash. So no, flashing gapps is not necessary as long as you don't format /system manually.

Format /data if you really love to waste your time.

/cache is always empty, we are not storing the dalvik cache in there and temp downloads go into /data/download. There are mostly logs there.

The dalvik-cache is automatically wiped during the first reboot after an update, Android should notice that something was changed.

Go back to stock doing a repartition and flash back CM if you really love to waste your time. This is really useless, nothing will change [*]

[*] Actually, there could be a difference. The /efs partition is never touched, what you are using in CM is a copy. If you corrupt /efs while using CM, there are high chances that your real /efs partition is intact and flashing a stock ROM and then CM will force a copy of the uncorrupted /efs partition. A manual restore of a backup is definitely faster and equally good.

Is this comprehensive enough?

EDIT

That's wanted, why would I want the partitions automatically mounted after a reboot?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cukierkas:
Hi, thanks for update, lovely present for my birthday :)

And newest released is absent, maybe you forget to upload.

Some thoughts. Lately I was playing around with xposed framework, and founded this lovely mod. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46769009

Can ir be implemented into next release, really handy for geeks like me:)

Another thought. Same empty /cache. Can it be used for something needed, handy, like small swap partition or smth else, well you know better Linux structure. Why waste such amount of data? Swap is working, already tried it, maybe only some more intelligent way of handling it needed?

Regards. Your rom still keeps me with this phone. Was thinking to upgrade to nexus 5 as a present, but still giving a chance to my oldy ;)

Edit, finally my dream came true, now I've got fully working pie control with gravity box, xposed rules:cool:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2316070

edit2: installed, still runing on 1100, no problems at all. never had problems and with 1200 with standart voltages, except heating after long run of flash within browser or youtube.

phone is smooth, installed along and greenify, so having about 80MB of free ram. zram @26%, everything is fine for now.:good:

by the way, bt still hangs after flight mode, need to reboot afterwards. you may ask why do I need that crappy flight mode at night - answer is very simple. using phone as alarm clock, so don't want any connection alive near my head during the night. and another thing. bluetooth is set to off at 1800, flight mode at 2330. [MENTION=4349695]loSconosciuto[/MENTION], have you tried that app by yourself, does it work properly for you? with tasker is the same, but scheduler is very simple and easier to use with such simple tasks.

and bt connected state is more often when one of devices disconnected. increased wakelock duration to 10ms. a little bit better, but not the solution.

edit3. losco, if I understood right, after cm upgrade, one of xposed files are overwritten.

can you include those lines to avoid it?

I never cared that much about how media scanner works, mostly because I don't use my phone as music player, so probably what I'm saying is wrong, but I think it's the app that moves/creates/edits files (in this case your filemanager) that forces a rescan of the SD or requires an update of the database entries. Some filemanagers also provides a menu entry to trigger a scan of the SD.

If the database is not updated, the problem is your filemanager. Music players should use the informations stored inside the database, so probably your music player is not the problem.

Try to use other file managers and see if the same thing happens.

Maybe I'll look for some informations and in case I'll discover something interesting I'll let you know.

Just for information, I used Root Explorer. It doesn't have any option to trigger a media scan.

a good return on KPE with full re-partition pit

and a good full wip between each rom same basis

never format with windows phone connected to your computer !!!

Recall also that some format and compression are not supported by android

I have a solution, but you probably won't like it: flash CyanogenMod. As I wrote in the first post, I only support CyanogenMod. 'qwerty' should work with every ROM based on CM A4, but not all the addons.

As usual, you can find the kernel patches attached (0001-wakelock-add-filter-for-wifi_rx_wake-wakelock is not included in qwerty v3.1-test1).[/QUOTE]

My kernel and loSconosciuto's kernel are on different base and whole different kernel. Mine is same as stock JB CM10 kernel with reverting few commites and loco's kernel is based on latests samsung source update for our mobile. And yes its stable and fast.

haha im sorry for this kind of question im just confused what kernel should im going to use. i already use your kernel and boom! it's awesome though lately i observe that my battery life decrease faster even though my device is in a deep sleep so my theory is that the signal is the cause why? in our office we have no signal so it's dead spot for 9hours and this cause fast battery drain because searching for the signal. am i right? im looking forward also to use qwerty kernel :)

I want to test something.

While I was trying to build a working wpa_supplicant (I did it, but it's not better than the one we are currently using) I understood why some of you can't have stable WiFi connections and did a simple change in the Android framework. I don't have this problem, so I can't say whether the workaround I used is enough or not, you have to try it on your own.

It surely fixed the 'scan' menu entry in the Wi-Fi setting page. I've always suspected it's not working, now I'm sure. I don't know if dhiru did a similar change in his older builds, but I've never done it, so my previous build is "broken".

Besides that, I cherry-picked a commit from Android 4.2.2 that should prevent failed downloads, but there are still many failed downloads. I also picked a commit that fixes the mime-type detection when a file is downloaded. Sometimes files are detected as text files even if they are not, it happened to me.

I also updated our touchscreen configuration file copying the one from Crespo (Nexus S), it has our same touchscreen (or similar if it's not exactly the same).

We were actually already using its configuration, but it was the first revision.

There are no changes on the kernel side, the only difference is that now the touchscreen driver filter is enabled by default. I don't know if I'll remove the possibility to disable it, because it proved to have a marginal effect.

However I had the impression that there are less failed calibration without it. I'm talking about of those times when the touchscreen goes crazy because of the presence of dirt/moisture on the screen and you have to turn it off and then on again in order to use it. But I'm not sure of this yet.

What the filter does is to determine the current position of your finger comparing it with the previous one. If the last detection was completely wrong due to some external noise, also the next detections will be wrong. That's just a supposition, but it makes sense to me.

There are no standalone flashable kernels this time simply because I only changed the default setting which you can change from DeviceParts.

change is in zip wpa_supplicant.conf

simply add at the end

network = {

scan_ssid = 1
key_mgmt = NONE
}

Wifi with your previous build works with this hack without adding network manually

I just tested your latest build

I see that you have solved this problem scan without hack you are great thank you

It's ok like this, I don't want to create more confusion, there are already too many CM threads. I know my builds would get more visibility (there were basically no downloads until you posted the link in your thread and even after that things didn't change that much), but I really don't care. CM is built by dhiru, period.

I'll add the link in the first post, but I'd like to first know if the disconnecting issue is fixed. I think it is, but no feedback yet.

Download CM source code, apply the patches, build CM, flash.

You can only patch the source code, not an already built ROM.
