64 GB SD cards should work fine. The real question is whether the exFAT filesystem they use by default is supported.

On AOSP, there's no way of supporting exFAT in the kernel, but I think there's a mod floating around to get it working. dkp should support the mod, but I don't have a link for it.

On TW, the stock kernel (and freeza's, since it's modded stock) supports exFAT, but custom kernels would need to do some extra work to get it working (assuming it's possible at all). Off the cuff, I'd say that dkp doesn't support exFAT since I haven't made any effort to get it working (yet).

EDIT: Another user pointed out that Samsung open-sourced their exFAT driver. I'm currently playing with exFAT on CM10.2. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
New TouchWiz builds! sbattosai pointed out that Samsung open-sourced their exFAT driver, so I decided to throw a new build together.

Changelog:

Finally added Mike Kasick's ram_console and hardboot patches. last_kmsg will actually work now.

exFAT support for 64 GB SD cards. The exFAT driver seems to work on CM10.2, but I haven't tested it thoroughly, and I haven't tested it at all on TW. If you have an exFAT SD card, you should backup any important data before flashing.

The exFAT driver works fine on AOSP as well, but I'm not sure what (if anything) needs to be done to get ROMs to use exFAT SD cards. If anyone has a spare SD card (I don't) and wants to test, PM me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
New AOSP builds are on their way. It looks like AOSP 4.3 (and possibly 4.2 as well) should handle exFAT automatically, so if you a) have an exFAT SD card, b) are using the newest test builds of dkp, and c) have made backups of anything important on said exFAT SD card (the driver hasn't gotten a lot of testing yet), you should be able to use your SD card without any headaches.

Changelog:

Added Samsung's GPL'd exFAT driver.

On a side note: I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not terribly familiar with the implications of Microsoft's patents on exFAT. My understanding is that in order for Samsung to redistribute the code under the GPL (which it is), it must be royalty-free for anyone who "receives a copy" (GPL parlance :)), and so it should be okay for us to use. Anyone with a legal background care to comment?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chris-allen:
Flashing the tw ver. Now..ill rrport back
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
seriously this is a good update 8/17 TW kernel. I like it. Seems there is some sort of sound mod in it too ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phyba:
Not sure why, but each time I flash the latest test version, it causes my phone to boot loop. Weird thing is, it makes my SD card inaccessible. So I can't restore nandroids on my card, and it won't boot, had to Odin a stock tar, then had to do a factory reset from stock recovery because it wouldn't boot after I Odin the stock file. Tried flashing again, same thing. So I don't know if those updated Samsung drivers u added borked the aosp kernel for 4.2. Sounds similar to all the new gs3 owners who couldn't flash custom ROMs recently
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
That's not good. Was the data on your SD card at least intact after you recovered? :fingers-crossed:

It's possible that the new drivers are misbehaving. I have an off-the-cuff idea about what might be going on. Are you feeling daring enough to flash an experimental build? That's a lot of work to recover if things go wrong, so feel free to say no.

FauxSound support is included, but I'm not sure if that qualifies as a sound mod. :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phyba:
All my data on the SD card was fine. I had to Odin back to stock so I lost whatever I had on internal storage which wasn't anything important. Few songs I grabbed off Google music.

If I had a extra s3 I'd give it a shot but needing this phone for work, I'd hate to brick it or risk having to wait to get a replacement. Lol. I'm back on 6-14 version for the time being
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
I hadn't even considered your internal storage. Whether or not you lost anything important, that's still a pain. Sorry. :(

As I mentioned, I have a couple ideas to consider, so I'll do some exploring and see what I turn up.

when I play asphalt 8 my phone gets pretty hot... how do I rectify this? Im not very familiar w/ undervolting w/o KTweaker.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wallythander:
I use trickster mod for undervolting/governor changing. ROM toolbox is good too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
New AOSP 4.3 builds are on their way.

Changelog:

Disabled exFAT. It needs ROM support to be useful.

Synced up with CM.

Fixed a stray bug or two.

New toolchain. My compiler laboratory exploded, so it's lightly modified Linaro GCC this time around.

EDIT: Looks like I missed a bug that breaks hotplugging (and also everything) with some governors. I'll get new builds out tomorrow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] churchey420:
Is there a 4.1.2 version it's really hard to find one lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
PMed you. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
New, fixed builds on their way.

Changelog:

Fixed a bug where applying certain governors repeatedly could cause major problems.

Improved automatic auto-hotplug. Auto-hotplug will take over if a tuner app breaks mpdecision.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Circaflex:
If you would've bothered to visit the downloads there is clearly a tw 4.1.2 link ....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mumbo jumbo:

Great job decimal!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ilive12:
Would you say that 4.3 is getting near stable or is at least ready for daily use and not just testing?

Sent via my AOSP-based 4.2 ROM, from my Galaxy S III (D2SPR)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
I've been meaning to do an official "stable" TW build, but I just haven't built it. There haven't been a lot of changes that would affect TW lately, so I haven't been doing builds regularly.

I've been running 4.3 since official CM builds started coming out, and dkp is stable enough for me. There have been a few issues reported, but I'm not sure they're specific to dkp.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
New 4.2 stable builds are going up now. After this, I don't plan to continue 4.2 work, since CM isn't updating the 4.2 kernel. Compatibility shouldn't be an issue since there aren't likely to be any further kernel updates from CM, and I don't expect to make any earth-shattering changes in the near future.

Changelog since last stable build:

Fix OC frequencies not sticking.

Fix UV interface for a few apps.

Fixes for automatic auto-hotplug.

A handful of optimizations.

Lots of CM commits.

Merge nanolunch back into freelunch.

Fancy new compiler.

The flicker in recent test builds should be gone. If not, let me know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] huckl3b3rry:
I'm running 9/2 build of 4.3 with a very recent Pacman and its working extremely well do far. I've tested quite a few things and haven't had any trouble yet with anything. Haven't used it long enough yet to comment on battery life but it's fast and smooth. Great work and thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tlrsax54:
Latest stable build for 4.2 fixed flickering :) thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
anybody using the latest TW build and got a good setup for the Scheduler and Governor?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfcooley:
Well my s3 is gone, used it to upgrade to the s4 yesterday.

I just want to say thank you for this kernel. I pretty much ran it and only it and im going to miss it.

Il be hoping to see one of your kernels again one day. Wont hesitate to flash it.

Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The~Skater~187:
Is there a way to enable zram on 4.3 kernel using terminal or other app?

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
New 4.3 and TW builds! I'm calling both builds stable this time around. TW is long overdue for a stable build, and there (mostly--see changelog) don't seem to be any bugs left. CM hasn't been making dramatic changes to the kernel lately, so I think it's time to call the AOSP 4.3 build stable as well.

Between being out of town for a week and having a few other projects on the back burner, I haven't made many changes lately. The changelogs are pretty short, but new releases were overdue.

TouchWiz:

Reverted some video driver stuff that should fix flickering for those who are seeing it.

Temporarily re-enabled some ugly code that I plan on rewriting sometime soon. It should make everything smoother. Unfortunately, this code causes the bug where minimum frequency shows up incorrectly in tuner apps, so beware.

AOSP 4.3:

Merged lots of CM changes: some CAF stuff, Linux 3.4.60, and a few odds and ends.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
minimum frequency << is this the dreaded minfree everyone has been discussing lately?

this kernel has my phone FLYING! im so impressed!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ksmullins88:
Kudos! Running this and slim bean stable! My battery life is phenomenal! Literally the best ever.

Using deadline and asswax
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ksmullins88:
And I didn't even cycle the battery... that was first day's results after flashing.

Seriously great job on this kernel!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyddr:
Oc is not sticking on 4.3 version
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
It's a different issue. Minfree is Android's memory management stuff.

Looks like CM added thermald recently. I'll merge the workarounds for it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
thanks for the reply :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spider_Pig27:
Im going with freelunch and noop on aosp 4.3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
New 4.3 test builds!

Changelog:

Trickster setting to adjust color temperature*, since CM hid the advanced settings screen (which will still work, but is harder to get to than it used to be). The new enable setting doesn't actually do anything, but Trickster won't show the screen without it.

Prevent thermald from overriding OC/UC settings.

Touchscreen driver cleanups.

Synced up with CM.

* The setting in Trickster actually adjusts the intensity of the trinity colors adjustment, similar to how the advanced settings screen used to. 20 = "Cold" = trinity colors, -20 = "Hot".

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spider_Pig27:
You guys need to reflash the kernel. Boot back to recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache

Then flash kernel

The TW kernel does not stick. Everytime you reboot you need to flash the kernel again. And make sure each time you wipe cache and dalvik
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Thanks for the suggestion man, but It's not that. If it were, that would be really weird.

I took the zimage from the zip and repackaged it a boot.img then i used the dd command to write it to mmcblk0p7 and it wouldn't boot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spider_Pig27:
That's weird.. It boots me just fine each time. I always do this when rebooting. That's the only way I get it work. I'm running MOAR.. Hmmm.. Idk then
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
This was reported (and fixed) on d2att and d2tmo, but I hadn't seen it myself (don't run TW much) and assumed that it was specific to the d2att/d2tmo build. I'll merge the fix and get some new builds up shortly.

Dev-host is back up. It figures they'd go down while I was away from my computer and couldn't mirror the builds anywhere else. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Looking forward to it man. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
You sure you got the right build? I just flashed TW and it's rotating the right way. Rotation is backward for d2spr, so usually upside-down video means you have another carrier's kernel installed.

EDIT: Just remembered that the uploaded filenames don't include the device anymore. md5sum on the d2spr build is 9d68173b5bf22d2e0fd3783350d30941.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spider_Pig27:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spider_Pig27:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spider_Pig27:
I usually just wipe cache & dalvik and then flash
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GTMoraes:
No love for International S3, GT-i9300?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
This kernel so smooth man

sent from the galaxy via tapping and talking
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
Nah. Cache & dalvik are ROM stuff. They shouldn't have any effect on the kernel.

In terms of hardware, the i9300 is almost completely different from the US versions, so the kernel source is very different. I don't have an i9300 to test with, so it would be tough to make a kernel for it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] inst1029:
hmm, strange . fresh rom install , let it boot up then reboot recovery to install 9-26 tw kernel . still cant get pass s3 logo.

flash 8-11 test build , will boot up

flash back to 9-26 stable, stuck on logo

btw i use cwm recovery. maybe i should try twrp
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
It should boot for everyone now. :confused: Does this build boot? If not, what ROM and version are you running? I'll flash it and try to reproduce the issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] inst1029:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Then that means that the flash didn't take

---

To everyone else, did you guys have issues flashing the stable 4.3 build? I got a status 7: some set permissions failed when flashing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
For various reasons (mostly that I'm lazy), I don't include a ramdisk with dkp. When flashing, I repackage the kernel with the existing ramdisk. Unfortunately, that means the old boot splash and any other ramdisk tweaks will carry over. The old splash screen is just the most obvious symptom of that.

I'm not sure what would cause the permissions issue. Can you get me the recovery log from a failed flash? Once you reboot, check /cache/recovery/last_log (for TWRP anyway, but I'd assume CWM is the same).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iamikon:
So im not sure if it was the kernel or MOAR but i havent used this kernel often and i have used MOAR often.... anyways.... my imei and all relevant information decided to disapear after a reboot. ive been searching for away to restore it but so far not much luck. anyone have this issue and know how to fix it?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Swamphound:
Horror story with a happy ending: I've been reading a lot about folks losing their IMEI so for the last 2 months I've been boning up on it. I have an IMEI backup on Andromizer (don't let the dev's English worry you), one thru terminal emulator and I downloaded an app (available on XDA) called NV Backup. Tonight I went for it and flashed DKP kernel over MOAR 6.0. It was hard to leave the comfort of Ktoonz kernel with Butterlicious v3 but I did. I also have been running Killjoy RC7. I flashed the appropriate DKP kernel after reflashing MOAR (dirty install) but forgot to uninstall Killjoy first. Everything went fine until I tried to reactivate KJ. When I did BAM! Bootloop then crash no power. I couldn't even boot into TWRP. Did a battery pull for 1 minute but still could not boot into recovery. Had to push power and hold and eventually vibrated then quickly pushed volume up>home>power. Finally got recovery then nandroided back to MOAR/kt747. Then I checked and saw my prl was 0 and IMEI was 0! Used my NV Backup/Restore app http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1808408 and phone shutdown. After falling on my knees and praying for Our Lady of Noobs to interceed I rebooted and voila! IMEI and PRL were restored. Now have uninstalled KJ RC7>done dirty flash of MOAR>stock kernel>reboot>flashed DKP>reflashed Killjoy with all options and all is well. Nice kernel BTW! Will play with tweaks and report back. Like we say in Medicine it's better to be lucky than to be good.

Where'd all these replies come from?! I'm glad the kernel is treating everyone well. :good:

Also, it feels like time for a new 4.3 test build.

Changelog:

Improvements to the color temperature setting in Trickster. Also, the enable setting actually does something now.

Removed tons of debug stuff from the wifi driver.

Some housekeeping and bugfixes. Nothing dramatic, just tidying up.

Synced up with CM (mostly), merged Linux 3.4.65.

Ok I may just be slow but I can't seem to find any screen temp controls in trickster? Latest touchwiz.

Great! I guess that means I should do builds for the other carriers too.

As long as it's for US S3s and the install script has the partition numbers correct, flashing a kernel pretty much can't cause a hard brick. The worst that could reasonably happen with that build is freezes or reboots while booting, and a nandroid would sort that out. :good:
