Something weird

ASV Level 3 Chip 1238 is fine at 1600 Mhz

ASV Level 6 Chip 1238 locked up doing nothing at 1600 Mhz

have bumped it to 1288

So much for samsungs bin sorting

My Level 3 Chip is better than my son's Level 6

Oh, it could be. That's the Samsung's calling but probably it isn't always correct. For example, one processor might go to 1800mhz, but other can go lower voltage on 200mhz. I think that everything's possible here :)

To all having slow downs and freezes... Could you please assess if you use xprivacy? Same question for those having no issues at all.

For some reason, it is number one suspect in my list.

Thanks

I had freezes on beta5 but I don't use Xprivacy. Though I use Xposed with some other modules like Wanam and GravityBox.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Hbohd:
I am using xposed with wanam kit and I hadn't got any freezes. Now I am running yank's kernel for half a day and guess what? No freezes too...

So my thoughts are, that it isn't a kernel problem...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] ShonkUK:
I havnt had any freezes or anything im not using exposed or anything else like that

Any luck going back to stock kernel from beta 5 yet?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Hbohd:
Just flash earlier beta or any other kernel, then stock one. I still don't get how it's connected ;| And I wouldn't call it a serious issue, kernel should not be flashed every 10 minutes :p

I am more waiting new updates from Andi, there are few interesting things coming... Update13 from Samsung, black crush fix, long awaited sharpness tweak :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Looki75:
About 24h of use of 5.1b5 having deactivated XPrivacy and so far, no freeze. 1 or 2 slowdowns - which happens. Hope it's a win! Looking forward for the update! Thanks!

I don't know is it problem with kernel but when I try awake device with power button I must wait ~1s (4.3, latest kernel). On 4.1.2 with older kernel reaction was immediately. Similar situation with keyboard - first run (swiftkey) after reboot is slooow.

Someone else notice this?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] djb77:
Benn using beta 5 on my (nearly) stock Custom ROM (The Galaxy Project) and everything seems to be fine.

I was lucky enough to have a camera FW that didn't need to be updated manually either.

Sharpness Fix will be nice to have again, can't wait for it :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Hbohd:
Hmm.. 4.3 worsened somehow wakeup time. I would say that our device (exynos devices exactly) has this disadvantage that it wakes longer than it should.

To me, once it wakes 2 seconds and once almost immediately so it differs a lot :o

After reboot system may be slow for some time, settings are being applied, caches are being built etc. If it is working well after few minutes there is nothing to worry about man ;)

I tried to revert to beta 4 and flash stock kernel but it still fails to boot. Any idea?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] mat48:
I have a theory about wake up time. When device is unused for longer time (~15 min and more) energy save option is activated (deep sleep?) and it take longer time to wake up. On other hand when I try wake up after few minutes of last use it's quick as on 4.1.2.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Hbohd:
5.1-beta7 !

Hey guys, here I come with the newest creation of Hbohd studios(R), 5.1beta7 kernel for 4.3 Sammy roms. There are some interesting changes, black crush fix, switchable sharpness tweak and new source update number 13 from Samsung itself! Full changelog here -> click

I thought I know the culprit for non booting stock kernel after flashing it onto mine one, but unfortunately I was wrong :( At least I've tried...

mobile freezes again, many apps has fc and so on,

after flash back the stock kernel all runs fine!

i have same issues with yaank kernel!

I'm actually on Alliance Rom , i tried with

stock pree rootez roms from here and freezes still

stock kernel is proper working, is it possible that some

Hmm, it's really hard then to conlude anything sensible. I am not getting ANY problems with my phone, however I removed EVERYTHING connected with Samsung and Knox from my phone. I will also recommend not using any undervolting for the testing.

Can you try using this cleaning script guys? It removes any bloatware with one or two exceptions (you might delete them using root browser) Hbohd cleaning script
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] sonic76:
I'll try your script....but “my files“ folder and internet browser

5.1beta5 to 5.1beta7

Without using the cleaning script, I just wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache before update 5.1beta7 over 5.1beta5. Then have both wipe again after update. The first reboot seems to be faster than before. I can take photo, making a few phone call with no FC occurs. But there is a bit stuck and delay in turning pages in Gallery and changing screen. Not smooth as before. Rebooted the phone two times without any FC.

I am using Galaxy Project Android 4.3 V12.01

it's strange here....even if i just flash 4.3 via odin i get random reboots and fc with the time :mad:

if i use cm 10.2 or 11 everything works fine :confused:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Hbohd:
Then something is wrong either with your download, your flashing way or you hadn't done full wipe before flashing.

Have you maybe flashed also knox bootloader?

Yeah, browser and myfiles are removed as I don't use them (for real, it's based on junk remover by ThilinaC found on xda). And you might use other apps, like Dolphin/Chrome and Root Browser for file exploring...

And kernel cleaning script is not necessary for Boeffla.

Wiping cache/dalvik is not necessary when updating kernels, in fact I am flashing without any wipe (only kernels!). Gallery in this new 4.3 is piece of ****, I have to admit... It's just lagging like hell! I would recommend using QuickPic, it's free and blazingly fast.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] warboss:
yea i flashed the knox bootloader before..... is this the reason?

my flashing way: 4.3 stock via odin -> autoroot via odin -> philz recovery 6 via odin -> full wipe -> flash 4.3 alliance rom
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] basvanasperdt:
Very strange. When I was on stock 4.3 firmware (lot of bloadware removed by myself) I had various freezes, reboots, lag.. even without undervolting.

Since a few hours I am on TGP v12.02, same beta7 kernel, same settings.. no problems at all! Very smooth, no lag, freezes or what so ever. Very happy with it!!

Hm.. It shouldn't interfer with overall phone activity, as bootloader is low-level thing...

However that's the only thing that comes to my mind, as I have no freezes or reboots :(
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] sonic76:
Hi Warboss,

i flash cm mod and then went back to Samsung 4.3

my phone goes ultra crazy, have fc's and so on,

only way out is flash stock 4.3 with odin via notebook

than do wipe all with stock recovery, after install

all under stock conditions you can root an install

costum Rom!

i do all these steps, knox count is on “one“

and after this costum kernels are freezing!

this is the only way out of the fc's

Also having freezes and force closes at least a couple of times per day. Yank's kernel also seems to be having similar issues.

BTW, I also have the Knox bootloader... (due to being a flashaholic who doesn't care about warranty lol)

This isn't happening on the original i9300 boeffla too is it?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Hbohd:
In fact, they haven't got knox bootloader at all, in any firmware...

Thus, it looks like knox is causing these severe problems, because I am not getting any, really.

Why couldn't you avoid flashing new bootloader? eh..

Well, I'm usually cautious about these things but I didn't think the new bootloader might actually break anything :(.

I've done a bit of a search and it appears it might be possible to downgrade bootloader... (based on AT&T note 2 thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2502464).

If anyone is able to make a 4.1.2 bootloader tar for me to flash I'm willing to give it a shot to test if it fixes the issues...

my mobile have freezes!....okay i've flashed the stock kernel an voila! Bootloop! I flashed Boeffla again and works, back to stock-> loop

I flashed the Original Samsung 4.3 over the alliance rom and the sytem get around 150 files updated, i make root and have flash

alliance over again, boeffla kernel have freezes again but since flashing the original rom i can switch between stock and boeffla kernel.

I noticed also an error message at recovery (TWRP)! When flashing updates an message like "can't open google blabla can't acces preload error I/O" ore so!?

...i'm reading arround on the links above (from oswade), so is it a problem making custom kernels with knox integration?...only removing the ugly blocking function/ blocking messages
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Looki75:
Thanks!

FYI, I'm testing beta7 once more... this time I flashed your bloat cleaning script prior to boeffla v5.1b7, coming from stock.

This knox thing is not clear.

It seems it is both related to bootloader and specific apps/apk in /system/app/ + files

For me:

* I came from stock rooted 4.1.2 with boeffla v4.0 kernel.

* Flashed stock 4.3, then I rooted it, custom recovery, etc...

* I believe stock 4.3 comes with knox bootloader, because as soon as stock 4.3 was flashed, I got it

* With any boeffla 5.1b* version, I got slowdowns and freezes, especially (but not only) while charging.

* I had several suspects in my apps/modules but nothing helped with freezes

* I reformatted /data and /sdInt and /sdExt, thinking there might be an I/O issue, reverted to stock scheduler and buffers... nothing helped either

I hope your cleaning script will help, I'll let you know.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] basvanasperdt:
I van confirm the stories unfortunately. After some hours testing the beta 7 kernel without problems, I am getting fc's as well :( switched back to stock kernel and no problems at all. And yes.. also 4.3 bootloader...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Hbohd:
I am still far away from my computer (Christmas time!).

It looks like the theory is a little bit confirmed... Custom kernels on Knox bootloader work pretty bad, force closes, freezes :(

About my junk removing script.. I might post it in seperate thread and even add some additional lines, because there are still some leftovers in system apps.. But all this in few days ;)

[MENTION=2468642]Looki75[/MENTION]

Knox is mainly bootloader. In my opinion, apps and everything else is not dangerous for us.

I am also thinking about one thing... As Samsung is providing continous updates of their source for i9300, which at the moment haven't got any knox firmware. So maybe there is missing something that causes instability with new 4.3 bootloader :?

[MENTION=1237286]sonic76[/MENTION]

So.. could you confirm that on fully stock 4.3 (like flashed within mobile odin/odin) you could change between boeffla and stock kernels without a bootloop? That would be something interesting...

And finally, thanks guys for your reviews, opinions and mainly new researches !
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] sonic76:
Hi Hbohd ,

When i came from any andrid 4.1.2 and go to costum Rom with 4.3 with Pre root and costum kernel

i can't install a stock kernel without bootloop, i have flash a clean stock android 4.3 bevore than

all works good but as i say, freezes with costum kernel is present in all ways

(came frome android 4.1.2 to android 4.3 with costum kernel, stock kernel give me a bootloop)

so yes i can confirm with stock 4.3 i can change between the kernels

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Looki75:
This is a very interesting comment! In my opinion it is likely the cause of the issues we have when we use knox bootloader with custom kernel: the kernel probably needs something special to work flawlessly with knox bootloader...

I can confirm the following :

* I flash stock 4.3

* then I flash custom kernel

* then I can flash back stock kernel without bootloop or any issue. Once though, it screwed the data partition (all apps like virgin)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] oswade:
I think it may be. I've been getting a lot of mixed information so it's probably too dangerous to try at the moment.

Do we have a seperate i9305 4.3 source at this stage?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] kazoum:
Unfortunately, I too am having FC's and reboots with boeffla + knox bootloader. I was unaware of the bootloader issue when I flashed 4.3 stock via Odin and it is one of the most regretful things of my life :( I am so desperate for finding a solution! My I9305 still is ready for daily usage but, for example, I can't run a full Antutu Benchmark test (I have FC at the 3D Test)

One of the reasons I love Android, is the fact that it is an open-source OS... How is it possible there is no way of downgrading bootloader? The method of flashing a 4.1.2 bootloader seems to be the most logic solution, but unexpectedly things aren't so simple...

Did you previously have issues though?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Hbohd:
4 test versions!

Okay guys, I had some idea about 4 different test versions for you all with 4.3 knox bootloader. It looks like it is causing some serious with my custom kernel. Therefore I've compiled 4 different versions with slightly modified defconfigs.

Version a - full sammy (selinux on, rooting restricion by samsung on)

Version b - full custom (selinux off, rooting restricion by samsung off)

Version c - half sammy (selinux off, rooting restriction by samsung on)

Version d - half custom (selinux on, rooting restricion by samsung off)

Anyway, these kernels are provided only for people with 4.3 knox bootloader that had problems (random reboots, freezes, FCs, etc.). There is no other change beside mentioned above. If you hadn't had any problems with standard beta7, you don't have to change your kernel ;)

It's only for testing purposes. Please check these things

Kernel is booting?

Have you got random reboots, FCs, freezes?

Is it possible to go back to stock kernel?

But please, be precise guys ! :good:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Looki75:
Super! I'm very excited! Will test that starting this afternoon!

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Looki75:

Question [MENTION=4731772]Hbohd[/MENTION] which is the configuration in the original kernel?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Hbohd:
I would start from version a, then version b.

You ask for original beta7? Then, It's closest to version b (selinux off, rooting bla bla off), however still there was little change in ramdisk, might be crucial.

There are also 2 lines in build.prop about selinux and tima that we might modify... I don't know whether anyone tried to change them.

Okay, so I have also tested it on my own, and it seems you are right. Cpu stays at max freq, however load is quite normal... And it happens with every governor (I have tried all settings/tweaks/etc).

I have to check if it's some kind of my error during porting or something in boeffla overall :)

I used a free app from Google Play (Cpu stats): https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImpwLnRha2tlLmNwdXN0YXRzIl0.

It shows load/actual freq in quite nice way ;)

I hope you will fix it, im very happy with the boeffla kernel!

I have a international I9305 (from germany) and updated now to the new Firmware. But battery drain is still more with the hbohd boeffla :/

with the stable release I had a battery life with 1 d 18 s (at home with wifi and normal - heavy usage, whatsapp, phone calls, some apps, auto push with 2 email clients...) or sometimes 1 d 16 s. Outdoor still over 1 d ( ~1 d 2 s) with hbohd`s boeffla, outdoor ~ 9s!!!!!! and indoor 1 d 1 s - 1 d 2 s

(zzmoove battery - shedular - row - cpu max frequenz 1,4 GhZ - undervolting cpu and gpu "light") <-- I always used these settings
