Will do...since i planned on reflashing the Rom anyway would it be ok to revert to md4 (via odin) on my current Rom, reboot and update prl and profile then flash the Rom with CNexus' s MK3 zip. I plan on doing a full wipe b4 the Rom flash also. (/data/media)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
Yes I flashed pit and md4 via odin. Let it boot updated profile and prl. Went into dl mode. Flashed recovery. Booted to recovery wipe and flash mk3 all the stuff then boot. It should not reboot after optimizing if it does do it all over again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arrogant437:
Sorry but whats a pit file. I thought when using odin via PC u can just use the PDA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
It's a file that sets partition sizes. It's. In the link I posted. In odin select pit then the pit file then Pda and tar file.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arrogant437:
Ahhh OK ...Thanks

Have you tested this with CrossBreeder? You reference using S3's RNG but CrossBreeder, as I understand it, disables the RNG service and substitutes its own entropy pool service.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bog3nator:
Been using crossbreed et and all is smooth
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
The fun thing about programming in the kernel is that I have bare-metal access to the hardware. Disabling qrngd doesn't affect erandom being seeded from the HWRNG.

I don't feel like doing my usual entropy mod rant, so I'll summarize: entropy mods don't do anything on dkp. That said, I'm sure there's a few things in CB that do make a difference, so I won't complain too much about it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bog3nator:
Should I disable mp decision in trickster mod.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:
Punch mod that thang....

Is it just me, or did you make my screen a million times easier to look at? So buttery.... Fingers are just sliding through my Swype keyboard right now...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikeWjF:
Yeah I was just wondering the same thing, I feel like my screen looks more awesome than it did before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
I hate to ruin the magic, but I think I accidentally caused a bug while cleaning up some ugly code. Your minimum frequency might be set to 1512 MHz (you should be able to change it just fine though). It shouldn't be terribly hard to fix the bug, but I need a break from TW for a few days.

Good news for anyone running AOSP 4.4 though: new test builds are going up. I haven't spent much time with the code yet, so there isn't a lot of new stuff. Mostly, I got sidetracked and wrote a new novelty. :D If you hate it, you can disable it in /sys/kernel/dkp.

Changelog:

Synced up with CM

Rolled up a handful of changes from TW

Added a fancy gimmick
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikeWjF:
Yeah mine is scaling just fine with Trickster Mod.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
ive been having a weird issue on 12-9 tw. when i power screen on. i get no ripple effect. no full locked. shows locked screen but i cant swipe . i hold power and volume and all the sudden ripple shows. then i can unlock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
Been running test build for 4.4 AOSP from 12/13 all evening and much better results than I had with the first test build for KitKat. No reboot issues, no issues with phone being recognized by computer via USB. I am running official CM 11 nightly from 12/12 (first 4.4.2 build), with freelunch/zen combo and undervolted by -75 across the board.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gjmath01:
anyone have 4.3 pit file for sprint s3? please send a link i been looking but no luck..thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
The code I used in the last build was from very early in 4.4 development, and it doesn't surprise me that it wasn't very stable. CM recently started merging from CAF's 4.4 branch. Stability is clearly improving, and should continue to get better.

Now that I'm burnt out on TW, I'll be running AOSP 4.4 as much as possible. That means more updates and more bugfixes in the near future.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
Looking forward to it. Keep up the good work, best kernel available in my opinion!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beansnorice:
What would the possibility of this patch working with the tw4.1 version kernal

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/979aa0d835ddca5fdbaab47bcd9aa7f7d359feb0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
It shouldn't take too much work to shoehorn it in. I'll keep it in mind when I get a chance to work on TW 4.1 again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arrogant437:
This is what I used from kaos

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hondroid:
Does this work on CNexus's knoxless TW4.3 ROM?

Young, Loved, Hated and Broke.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beansnorice:
Thank you so much loving your kernal with wicked sensations and would rather stay on this rom kernal combo to use driveDROID. Best battery life I've seen for an extreme heavy use
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
After a little more than one full day on latest 4.4 AOSP test build, I am on almost 32 hours since last full battery charge, and am currently at 24% battery (flashed this kernel build right after charged to 100%). Standard usage for me-Hangouts for chat and sms, Tapatalk, Flipboard, and some odds and ends. Cannot thank decimalman enough for this awesome kernel, if this is just on test build can't wait for stable (yes I am aware of the disclaimer in the OP about the author's definition of "stable"!).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] HashTagHell:
[MENTION=4932679]decimalman[/MENTION] OK, decided to come over here to bother you. LOL

First off, I'm no genius when it comes to kernels so please bear with. I'm not sure if it's the ROM, or the kernel, but yesterday I couldn't get the minimum to stick. Now that it finally stays at 384, I cannot get the maximum to stick under 1512.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iamikon:
[MENTION=4932679]decimalman[/MENTION] on a side note to the discussion in the MOAR thread vmin actually made my phone even more unstable. your kernels are normally very perfectly stable on my phone so I am assuming it is something in moar7 as it is the first tw 4.3 rom I had tried and it was crazy unstable with the soft reboots and what not. so keep up the great work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
Yes it does. I'm using it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gjmath01:
thanks arrogant.i gave it a try but stuck on initialzation for over 20mins.iam going to use an older odin and see if it helps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
Yep. Until last night, I hadn't run any other 4.3 ROMs.

I thought I fixed that already. :crying: I'm running AOSP at the moment, but I'll keep it in mind next time I switch to TW. I'm guessing it's just another TW service that I need to block.

Interesting. The vmin zip really shouldn't cause any new problems. :confused:

There's a major bug in the graphics code that I'm going to blame for the soft reboots. I haven't been able to track it down yet, but it's responsible for the rotation crashes and a few games not working. I thought I had it fixed last night, but it started acting up as soon as I started a new build.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] HashTagHell:
That's what I figured too. I know Trickster MOD states that a service could cause settings not to stick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
As long as I'm playing with the LEDs instead of doing anything productive, there's a new AOSP 4.4 test build on the way.

The new softkey backlight settings can be changed in /sys/kernel/dkp for now. Eventually, I'll try to get Trickster to show settings for them.

Changelog:

Animated the on/off transition on the softkey backlights. It's glorious. :D

Added customizable brightness for the softkey backlights

Changed how a few things come out of standby

Fixed a few small issues in the graphics drivers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBritton:
And that's even without the 7000mAh battery you have on order! ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
Yeah, I can't wait to start going a week between charges!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beansnorice:
Ok after flashing this kernal tw4.1 two days ago on the rom wicked sensations its almost doubled my battery life at very heavy use. Incredible service from Dev. My hats off to you sir. Once I learn more about tweaking setting ill gain even more.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] HashTagHell:
[MENTION=4932679]decimalman[/MENTION]

Just wanted to come back through and give a formal apology. I noticed I didn't see mpdecision setting in Trickster MOD, which lead me to look at my folders. Needless to say with multiple flashes I had way too many folders, so I wiped everything and flashed again. Guess what happened.....the settings are sticking now. Thank you for all you do for us man.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] edozier:
Adding a part to this thread to see if we could diagnose some issues.

Having some issues still with reboots on moar 7 after flashing vmin. On the no one is holding. .. I'm not experiencing them. I can send anything you need to help diagnose the issue if you can let me know what you want

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 88EVGAFTW:
I've looked in the OP and last 2 pages and can't seem to be able to find 12/13 build. Did i miss something?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
It's in the first link in the Download section in the OP. You will have to drill down through the folders.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 88EVGAFTW:
Found it...but for AOSP. I should have mentioned I'm looking for the TW version :laugh: :good: thanks anyways! :highfive:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yeah I get excited too even though there's nothing lacking in the 12/09 build. Thanks DM!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
No apology necessary. Strange things happen sometimes, and I don't mind offering advice. It seems like mpdecision is particularly touchy on TW 4.3, and you're not the only one having problems with it.

There's a crazy bug in the video drivers in 4.3 that's causing soft boots, freezes, games breaking, and general awfulness. Rotation crashes are the most obvious, but it shows up in other places too. From what I gather, the stock kernel isn't affected, but any custom kernels (even if they use untouched Samsung source) have the bug.

I've got all the logs I need, but unfortunately the don't really point to what's specifically causing the problem. At this point, I'm resorting to digging through all 12000 lines of changes to the video driver and hoping I see something out of place. :(

I don't switch ROMs very often, so I usually build for just one version for a couple weeks at a time. The last couple updates haven't added anything important, so you're not missing out on a lot. (That's a lie. The LED animations are preeeety. :p)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bog3nator:
Should we turn off mp decision in trickster mod? Don't think anyone ever answered that....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
Nope. dkp takes care of it for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bog3nator:
Cool thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] enzoevo:
[MENTION=4932679]decimalman[/MENTION] - Can you think of any reason why flashing back to the stock kernel (@cnexus mk3_wifi_fix.zip) breaks my wifi? I've been running your 12/09 kernel and want to go back to stock, but I can't seem to get wifi to turn on.

I will provide catlogs if you can help.

thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rompnit:
The zip doesn't contain the required modules. Try this:http://d-h.st/jLU Now back on topic ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
New TW 4.3 test builds are on their way! I fixed most of the problems I've been hearing about. Dead Trigger 2 still doesn't work, so there's probably still a couple bugs left in the video drivers.

Changelog:

Added a fancy blacklist that prevents thermald and mpdecision from modifying your min/max frequency when they shouldn't.

Fixed up some CPU power management stuff. mpdecision should stop whining and do its job.

Added fancy animations for the notification LED and softkey backlights.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] enzoevo:
Would any of these be responsible for the steady battery drain even in airplane mode and the screen off? It was pulling 450-600ma that while undervolted by 50ma and CPU max set to 1Ghz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
The CPU PM stuff certainly won't hurt. I only made the change this morning, so it's too soon to know how much effect it'll have.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] enzoevo:
cool. Thanks. I'm happy to help test if you need it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
Definitely let me know if it helps any. I haven't been running TW much lately, so I wasn't aware that crazy drain was happening. If it's still a problem even with the changes I made, I'll dig up a Trepn apk and beat the PM code into submission.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
Just wanna say that this is the 1st custom kernel that I've flashed to my device and I'm enjoying the battery life. I was just curious, how do I gain access to the afforementioned "LED and backlight animations"?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
They're on automatically in the newest build. They're not terribly configurable at the moment, though it's an interesting possibility for the future.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Phung:
Yeah, I notice that the bottom menu and back keys are lit on always as compared to being always off. I turn them off in the display settings normally but it doesn't work. I can switch it to something else that's on and then back to always off and it'll stay off until I lock and unlock my phone. It's not a huge deal as of now but I would like to be able to turn those off. I do like the LED animation for the one at the top of the phone though.

I came from stock TW 4.3 kernel using MOAR v7.0.1 and just installed the latest 12-17 test build today. Thanks for your amazing work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bog3nator:
I have noticed some drain on 12/9 also but I just installed 12/17 and will keep and eye on it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
I forgot they could be disabled. Oops.

Without actually looking at the code, I would guess I just need to remove one line and the lights will behave themselves.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] enzoevo:
I've had 12-17 running for 3 hours. Looks good. It's drawing 2mA in airplane mode while sleeping.

Great work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
I must be missing something. I've been running 12/17 since this morning and haven't noticed anything different going on with my LED.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
New TW 4.3 and AOSP 4.4 test builds are up! Bugfixes all around.

TW changelog:

Softkey backlight settings actually work

Fixed a silly bug in the rotator driver

AOSP changelog:

Cleaned up the softkey animation code and fixed a small glitch

Cleaned up the notification LED animations

Fixed a silly bug in the rotator driver
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kevinpag:
I'm really enjoying the backlight animations! Great work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tony45x220:
Just downloaded the latest TW 4.3 build, currently wiping and giving it a run with the latest 7.1 build of M.O.A.R.

I'll report back after taking some pictures, trying to play a couple games, videos, and YouTube.

Sent from my Rooted, Suited, and Booted 32gb Sprint Galaxy SIII know dat!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] enzoevo:
What are these animations. I'm not very observant apparently.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
Take a closer look at the notification LED next time you've got a notification. Instead of the boring on/off thing it used to do, it fades in and out. The menu and back buttons do the same thing when their lights switch on/off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] imaconeheadXD:
Yeah I noticed that and really like the effect :) A question while mentioning the notification LED, are you able to let it work while the screen is on through the kernel? Or is that ROM side?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] enzoevo:
Ooh, very nice. I like it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tony45x220:
I'm getting lock ups whenever I try to drop the CPU speed below 384 (stock speed) I've been running another underclocked TW 4.1.2 down to 182mhz with no problem for months...I'd like to be able to run at least down to 162mhz...I'm thinking it's the voltage, anyone have a picture of their set-up so I can follow suit?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] enzoevo:
Have you tried running Stability Test? I recommend increasing voltage 25mA at a time for the CPU speed you want to achieve until the test is steadily successful.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
Hey decimalman (or anyone else out there for that matter), do any of you know of a flash able version of the stock knox free 4.3 kernel if I decide I want to flash back to stock? If you do know of one, would someone be willing to link it to the #1 post for people? I would rather not refresh the whole ROM everytime I want to go back to stock kernel....

I would be greatly appreciative if someone could point me in the right direction.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] enzoevo:
Post 724 of this thread has a link.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
I'm freaking blind. I apologize....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
It's on the ROM side, unfortunately.

I'm not sure why, but TW 4.3 seems to like a little more voltage than anything else. On top of that, I reduced the default voltages on the underclocked frequencies a little more than I should have. :angel:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Phung:
Thanks for the quick fixes :o
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tony45x220:
Ok sounds like I just have to get to know 4.3 a little better...I'll play around with some different governors and maybe raise the voltage a little

By the way in spite of the lockups due to voltage changes I'm testing...camera, YouTube, and rotation are all working very speedy no issues
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcran75:
Edit
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rompnit:
12/17 smooth as usual!! Thank you for your hard work! The LED animations are a nice touch! Never realized how cool they 'could' be, and now they are! :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdealers:
Thanks for the update! About to flash it now.

EDIT: Like everyone else, I really like the LED fade!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Just flashed latest 4.3 TW Kernel on M.O.A.R v7.0.1 . Very nice work :thumbup:

TEAM MiK MikROMs Since 3/13/11
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikeWjF:
I ended up going back to TW 4.3 12/9 for now. I was having too many sleeps of death but with the soft keys lit up. Plus it was just never feeling right. Stock voltages and frequencies.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikeWjF:
Double post
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
Interesting. I'm pretty sure I know what's to blame. I have a few changes in the works for that code, and I'll fix up the suspend/resume code while I'm at it.

What do you mean by "feeling right?"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noother84:
Everything seems to be running fine on the latest 4.3 TW for me. freelunch/zen, stock for all else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bytes2bits:
I'm on MOAR 7.0.1 and the 12/17 kernel and I had quite a few death sleeps with lit keys too but the kernel feels ohhhhh soooo right to me. I have since raised voltages by 50 using Trickster? I hope that's the correct way to do it. So far so good but time will be the real test. I love the rom and kernel combo.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
I don't think the issue is voltage. I changed the way the softkeys suspend and resume when I added the animations. The new suspend code has the potential to deadlock the system suspend/resume sequence, keeping the device from fully suspending or from resuming again. I'll try to get a fix out this evening.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikeWjF:
I've since gone back to 12/17 and been running straight out of the box without changing anything in Trickster. I haven't had any problems so far.

By "not feeling right", I'm not sure, it was just weird, somehow laggy when scrolling but still opening apps fast. Just weird. Maybe it was something I did in Trickster.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bytes2bits:
Oh ok. I never did have to bump up my voltage w/ your kernels so that sounds logical. I'll give it a try as soon as you post it. Thank you for all your dedication and perfectionism.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nyles:
Thanks for the hard work dkp. I'm not sure if it's a known problem, but I can't seem to get 3g data to work on lte/cdma (no lte in my area) . When I switch to cdma only, the 3g data works again. It's not a big problem but the ehrp from the lte/cdma setting seems to work better on my phone than the cdma. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bytes2bits:
I know some have had success in resolving that by updating profile. Also make sure you're using the correct modem (MK3 for 4.3). I'm pretty sure your issue is not controlled by kernel at all but I'll defer to Decimalman on that. He's the expert.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nyles:
Thanks, I had previously tried updating profile with no success. I'm also on the mk3 modem. Had no issues with the stock kernel be want to stay on dkp of I can fix this problem. Thanks anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
I've seen a lot of complaints about this since MK3 came out, but I don't think I've ever seen it connected to a specific kernel. 99% of the data magic happens on the ROM side, so I wouldn't expect the kernel to affect it. It's strange that stock would work and dkp wouldn't though.

Can you get me a logcat? The best way to catch the connection problem would be to turn on airplane mode for a bit, turn it back off, open up CatLog (or aLogCat or whatever), wait a few seconds until the signal bars settle down, and save the log.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shehroze3:
Anyone using 4.4 kernel? If so, please share your settings for best battery life. It will be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rdavis429:
I don't always post, but when I do its to say: "Awesome work [MENTION=4932679]decimalman[/MENTION] and keep coming!"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] s9amme:
I'm on the MOAR ROM v.7.01 and your kernel came as an option to install. Tried it out and went ahead and updated to the latest 12/17 build. Just dropping by to say great work! Using the freelunch gov and the phone is running great! I was on a previous custom kernel and it was giving me lock ups and random restarts. So far, yours has been smooth sailing!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nyles:
My apologies to dkp. I switched back to cdma/lte to get a logcat and of course, 3g works! I'm not sure why it didn't work after first flashing the kernel, but I'm sure glad it works now. Again, my apologies to dkp and thanks for taking the time to try and figure out my problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
So hey, I know this kernel is new, but I'm getting worse battery life than I did on 4.1 and 4.3 stock with obviously non stock kernel.. I'm guessing it's the kernel settling in? I have better battery stats keeping an eye on wake locks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bog3nator:
!y battery had been awesome. Like always give it a few charger cycles,.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikeWjF:
Got 1 sleep of death this morning, otherwise running well.
