Are you trying some overclock?

HI, now that you got kernel compiling and running smooth, are you trying to kick the frequencies so we can get a bit more juice from the mini?

The only point negative on the mini is really the lack of speed and few other minor things. Don't you guys think that S3mini came out with a small cpu and big price tag?

Anyways, OC to 1.2Ghz would feel better, also, bring the interactive gov because performance drains and ondemand is a bit sluggish.

Thanks,

I will.

First thing on my list tomorrow. ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] S3miniFin:
This is strange. BLN status is disabled. Still that program eat battery, please look my picture

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Benzonat0r:
It's called SHRM Signature verification.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] neldar:
New kernel version v2:

led brightness increased to 100% (bugfix?)

nfc support added

ro.secure=0 and ro.debuggable=1 (this will be reverted for end user release)

Unfortunately I was not able to disable the SHRM Signature verification, the kernel panics and I did not have the time to debug that.

Please check if the leds still remain on for some of you, maybe I fixed that by increasing the brightness.

And please test if the nfc support works.

further info on your setup

Neldar,

Thanks for your git projects, very well organised.

I would like to give a go this weekend.

Can you describe your system, that you are using to compile?

- linux distro and version ?

- toolchain name and version ?

Thanks, I was trying to replicate your setup to simplify the process.

isn't it enough to add the following line in the golden_defconfig? (around line 406)

CONFIG_U8500_SHRM_ENABLE_FEATURE_SIGNATURE_VERIFICATION=n

or

CONFIG_U8500_SHRM_ENABLE_FEATURE_SIGNATURE_VERIFICATION is not set

Peace,

Crk
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] neldar:
Thank you. :)

Im using ubuntu 12.04 amd64 and the gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi package.

The kernel is build with the goldennfc_defconfig.

And no, it is not enough to disable the SHRM Signature verification in the config.

The kernel wont boot, it just panics.

I installing v2,now bln won't work at all. Nothing happend when call/sms comes.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Dani26:
For missed calls you have to activate in settings of BLN control Pro
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] neldar:
Ok, good to know.

So any kernel dev for the i8190 may just use the goldennfc_config.

Do the sms and call apps activate the screen while the notification is issued?

If the screen is on, then that will prevent the led notification from working.

And there is a new kernel version v3:

fixed led handling, blinking fix

edit: please report if the bug with the permanently activated leds is also fixed.

Hi,

I tried compile myself, all good but I softbrick my mini :( now i have to recover from the backup.

I would like to ask, if you could add this line in the config..

Hi neldar,

I got a bootable Kernel for i8190, its still in testing stages.

I will be releasing it very soon, its a direct port of my i9070 Kernel....

Can I use your BLN patches in my Kernel if you don't mind? :)

Silly question, but has it Deep Sleep support? My processor runs allways with 200 MHz. I have installed V2 and Benzrom xxama2 V3.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] dariolob:
I'm also experiencing the lack of deep sleep, already disabled fast dormancy and running BBS to see if there's a wakelock but still nothing :(
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] neldar:
How did you enable the soft key leds? Just by touching them?

How did you setup the build environment and build the kernel?

Please post your resulting boot.img.

Yes, of course, but it is still not finished. There is still the bug with the permanently enabled lights.

Are you referring to the following config lines?

CONFIG_DBX500_CPUIDLE_DEEPEST_STATE=3

# CONFIG_DBX500_CPUIDLE_APDEEPIDLE is not set

CONFIG_DBX500_CPUIDLE_DEBUG=y

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] craskman:
Thanks for the support, I have attached the boot.img i am getting.

I was wondering if I am using the wrong toolchain, have tried these 2 (both part of ubuntu 12.04 repos)

arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.7 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.1-5ubuntu1~ppa1) 4.7.1

btw, I use CWM recovery to flash it (zip signed).

Thanks a ton,

edit: just noticed your initramfs does not contain some empty folders and the links are not properly set.

The git repo of my initramfs is not complete.

edit2: repo is now complete, but you should check why those symlinks are not correctly set in your initramfs.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] craskman:
Hi, Thanks again. Indeed. Actually I could have spitted and look inside, has been awhile since I played with kernels.

I re-sync and I have created the symlinks manually, there were 4.

I only had time to do a quick test but no success yet. Next I will try my zimage with your initramfs and vice-versa.

Then I will know for sire if the issue is the ramdisk or the zimage. (our initramfs looks pretty the same at the moment)

The only think I see happening when i turn on the phone is the leds on he buttons flickering for moments, but then nothing happen.

If something comes up in your head what could be missing, let me know.

Thx,

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Benzonat0r:
I don't have this so called problem, all working fine here.

Edit: Except for the battery drainage. It's significantly higher than stock kernel.

In v4 the battery is still draining.

A comparison: in v3 battery drains more than v4 and that is appreciated.

Thanks for the report.

I have to dig deeper....
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Benzonat0r:
I can confirm that.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] neldar:
After some research I figured out that setting the state_mem constraint of the led regulator actually triggered a bug that prevented deepsleep. And I can conclude that it is not possible on the s3 mini to enable the button leds without using a wakelock (there is currently not method to enable a regulator in suspend on this platform, there is not public documentation of this available). However this is still more battery friendly than a screen based notification method...

Please test the new kernel build v5:

removed setting of regulator state_mem constraint

added bln wakelock

Should be the same as with the stock kernel.

An active led notification should only slightly drain the battery, it is is necessary to use a wakelock to keep the leds on.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] vonuzu:
Ok, i am using this kernel for 2 days now and I can confirm that the battery life is the same as stock kernel. Today I watched the whole first season of the big bang theory, it took about 6-7 hours of video playback, and 1 hour of conversation, 1 hour of data, and still have 20 percent battery.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] neldar:
Thanks for the report, how long have you been testing this kernel?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Fevves:
About 4-5 days now. It's my wife's phone and she is using it. It's official XXAMA2, then deodexed and applied a theme, rooted and with your kernel on board. Only other tweak done is the scheduler change to noop. I'm checking every evening it everything works as it should. Battery life is quite ok IMO as she's syncing facebook and google in auto so there... BLN is set to twink for 5 mins once notification is received. SMS, missed phone calls, facebook works just fine. I have to check for Skype as I haven't had time for that. At the present time battery is at 20%, 1d 8h 26s on it, and screen is using 54%, usage time 2h 55m 12s on full brightness.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] neldar:
Please give more detailed stats, just "it drains more" is not very specific.

Are you receiving lots of notifications? How long are the notifications usually pending (how long are the leds staying on)?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Fevves:
On this SGS III Mini, if it helps: XXAMA2 BLN set to twink ON 0.500 ms and then OFF 2 s for 5 minutes. Scheduled to work from 08:00 AM to 11:oo PM and it's draining something like 5-10% more, quantity of all and overal notifications dependable, and it's normal IMO.

Cheers,

Fevv.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] vonuzu:
With me sometimes the leds just light up for no reason, no notification no nothing.. And during calls most of times the leds stay on. And I can also confirm that the battery drain is about 10-20 % more. With the stock kernel I could go for a day and charge through the night, now it's less than 15% by 18:00.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] ariw182:
Maybe just 20 notification a day. .no pending notification. And no intense use of data. With this kernel it drain 10% for an hour. .strange because i just keep my device standby in my bag for an hour..before that .

I just thought about issues some people are having with blinking eratically and other similar issue. What comes in my mind, without accusing or stating anything bad, but have you actually purchased the original and official apk from the store? I simply did that once I installed this kernel on my wifes phone as it's the only logical way and also Neldar deserves it for such hard work and his committed follow up through various devices. I mean, it worked right off the bat here and I really don't see the reason why it wouldn't work on yours. It's all about "simple" bond between kernel and the apk as Rom shouldn't have anything to do about that.

So, having it all in order shouldn't give issues IMHO. Just thought to express my personal view on issues some people are reporting and nothing else, no offense meant to anyone.

Take it as it is.

Confirming the bug when BLN is enabled through apk and still on your kernel. Tested it up just now.

Once disabled the BLN apk & phone rebooted it does not do that anymore. Dunno if it's the kernel or the apk, but I would suspect it's on kernel side.
