Wow, quite some activity up in here! I just flashed Carbon 1.8 a few days ago (4.2.2) and I'd like to get in on this. You seem pretty dedicated aeppacher... skipping out on Battlefield 3!

By the way, I'd like to learn what was passed on to you and what resources you used about getting started with kernel development. :)

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Hey guys, what's your favorite (the best) governor? I understand this is subjective for individual usage requirements, but I'm curious to what you think.

Also, I found this fantastic explanation about each governor over here for others that might be curious like myself.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phoenix2217:
I personally use AssWax from Gideon. It's always been good on battery for me and pretty quick. Lots of stuff to change in trickstermod as well. If I don't use that, I usually use Interactive. There's a reason Google chose it :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Well downloads are free so grab build four and install it on top of carbon. Give me some feedback here once you used the kernel a little.

In regards to governors it is dependent on your preference. First recommendation is in trickster mod to turn of MPdesicion (its required for good performance with most governors here). I personally use badass just because its smooth but avoids push the CPU to max so battery is decent. Like I said try a governor for a day and see how the experience is.

Really curious if this works well with stuff like expanded desktop, pie, and halo on Carbon so let me know how it goes
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rokonacdc:
Well, the results are in. Here's what I got from a full battery. It's not an accurate representation of my normal battery life since I slept during parts of it, though.

Anyway, this is with halo running and full LTE coverage, but running with the basic Juice Defender settings. I can also post my trickster mod settings of someone wants them. Also, running latest Illusion and bootloader/modem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jazztrmpter:
Build 4 is running! Thanks for the suggestion about turning MPdecision off - I had no idea whether or not to leave it on.

So far it's running great. I haven't noticed anything different yet from the last CM kernel I was using...so I guess that's good? ;) It is fast, everything is functioning as it should be (minus the camera with Carbon, but that's not a kernel issue).

As for Carbon's features, I haven't really practically used HALO or Pie; I've only fooled around with them to see what they are about. They still function exactly the same - as they should - because they are both software features. Correct me if I'm wrong, but since there's no physical keys involved with HALO or Pie, the kernel (or the lack thereof) shouldn't effect these features. With that said, there's really no need for expanded desktop on the GS3 since there are no onscreen navigation keys, but I'm sure it'd be just fine with your kernel running on a device that does have them.

I really like the CPU frequency tweaking ability. I can't wait to see a difference (good or bad) in my phone's battery life. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
The reason I am asking of those features is I used to run with carbon and have halo and pie and since these are all overlays I would get choppy animations that made the phone feel cheap because the CPU couldn't handle the work rendering it all at a high frame rate. The lack of a clean experience led me away from carbon to search for a smoother experience. I was curious to see how my kernel manages the work load of all those animations and overlays ;) thanks for the feedback!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jazztrmpter:
Halo and pie are running smoother than a baby's bottom. ;)

Everything is very smooth. Smoother than the stock rom I was running just 4 days ago.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdidtht:
I can't boot this on liquid smooth.. I wanna give it a shot. This is the only kernel I have.t been able to boot. I wiped dalvik an flashed I flashed just straight I have flashed it multiple times I get past splash then to liquid and it just doesn't boot..

---------- Post added at 04:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 AM ----------

What settings you are using?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Sorry to hear, will give it a shot later to see what could be going wrong. Glad you got it on illusion
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hungmung:
I'm suddenly running into an issue today with the new version. I randomly get stuck not being able to turn the screen on when after I've shut off the screen and let it sit a while. I've had it happen 3 times today. I haven't gotten analogs and switched to a different kernel for tomorrow at work. I'm running all stock settings the only things I changed is turning on fast charge and changing to intellidemand. I did try downloading also.

Sent via carrier pigeon...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rokonacdc:
That's odd. I haven't had any issues. How are you getting the screen back on? Reboot?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone:
What kernel settings you have for getting this battery life?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rani9990:
This phone is on fire with the latest 4.3 kernel! I mean that quite literally, it's extremely hot, 40-50°C!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rokonacdc:
Ouch. Are you using fast charge? Keeping a thick case on while charging? Or is this after it has been unplugged for a while?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sajoeee:
How's the rom running on 4.3? Im running latest PA 3.94 (great rom btw) and want to see if this kernel is good. but what to see how well it is on 4.3?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rani9990:
This is while charging actually, but no other kernel has heated like this. You need to take off the case while charging? Didn't know that. Thanks. And is anyone getting lag on the 4.3 build, or have I uv'd too low.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
haven't heard any reports of this yet, but thick cases will prevent the phone from losing heat since there is no ventilation. 4.3 is still very much in beta, I just wanted to give people some tweaks away from stock. My next build will be for 4.3 so hopefully I will fix it. Charging also makes a lot of heat.

Also what other 4.3 kernels have you been trying?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rani9990:
Of course, I didn't make it to seem as if I was complaining. It seems to have cooled off after a bunch of UV, so great work on this!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rokonacdc:
What aeppacher said. I was getting to that, just got busy at work. My phone gets pretty hot sometimes. Or at least used to when I was using my otter box. Also, charging from a car charger seems to generate more heat from my experience.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sajoeee:
tell me you're settings mine is heating up! lol.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rani9990:
I uv'd from 750mv at 386mhz to 1000mv at 1150mhz.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phoenix2217:
I'd like to report that the auto hot plugging doesent seem to be working. I disabled mpdecision and trickster and CPU z show both cores staying on
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jazztrmpter:
After using this kernel for a little over a day, I've been having some freezing up issues. I cannot say that it's the kernel since I have been on this ROM for only a few days... but it seems to have just started tonight. I was using an app called LINE (text messaging), and the whole phone would lock up. At first I would hard restart the phone, but then I waited for it to recover and got two messages, first the system stopped responding, then LINE stopped responding. Initially, I thought this was an issue with the app and wasn't going to say anything... then it happened in Carbon's stock text messaging app.

Would Catlog help to determine the issue? I'm running it now to try to catch the lockup again.

I am using the ondemand governor with 270Mhz min freq and 1620Mhz max.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rokonacdc:
It's funny that you mention it. Tonight I had my first lockup while playing a game. I also had a boot loop scare after making a nandroid. Splash screen, started the boot image, it froze and rebooted, but went through the second time. It happened a second time an hour or two later also.

For the lockup I can suggest disabling hw overlays in developer settings. This almost always fixes the problem in my experience of it reoccurs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Judging by the fact that system, and inline stopped working I would imagine it's not the kernel that's causing the problem. Usually apps not functioning is at a ROM level. But if you can catch it on a cat log I would be more than happy to look at it for you. Also try sending it to carbon as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Will look into it. Thanks man

Edit: yeah I am seeing the same thing, will fix it asap
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
When posting bugs please post whether or not you are running 4.2.2 or 4.3 and which build. I cant help you if you don't help me ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phoenix2217:
Sorry for that, my bug report was referring to the 4.2.2 version.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisj22:
Is there a newer version of the 4.3 kernel? I hear people talking of a new release over in 4.3 thread
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
No new release yet, sorry I am hard at work, I promise! Are they talking about this kernel?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisj22:
Hell yea they are!!!! Lol it seems to be working good
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Good news, its fixed, get latest build my friend
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phoenix2217:
Just grabbed it. All is well :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
hahah yeah it was the stupidest mistake, but thanks for pointing it out
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Feel free to let them know that the latest 4.3 build is up. I spent all night on it and its packed with goodies
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] noobchef:
Oh we keep an eye on this thread, my friend. We know. Thanks for your hard work BTW.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sajoeee:
loving the new release, so far. um, any good kernel setups for greatttt battery life and good performance on 4.3? :victory:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phoenix2217:
I know you said you checked and it worked, but I cannot get auto hotplug to work with your 4.3 kernel. I've disabled MPDecision and both stay on. I've tried badass, interactive and intellidemand.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moz68:


4.3 Hot plugging with MPDecision on using Asswax/ tripndroid using Trickster Mod. No Easter Egg with 4.3. Awesome Kernel Thanks for sharing!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Hey aeppacher. Check it out. My Data Manager is know longer sucking on my battery. Also deep sleep is sleeping nicely. :)

Your newest 4.3 kernel.

Awesome work brotha.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phoenix2217:
I don't know how you did it as now mpdecision is not even working for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Okay guys in regards to mp decision. This is in the op but I will say it here. On 4.2.2 it is gone, you can't enable it since I edited the ramdisk. I can't edit the ramdisk on 4.3 yet so its still there but you should disable it to get hot plugging to work. I did see it turn off the second core. Don't use CPU z to check because the app is so CPU intensive it keeps the cores on (at least for me). Use trickster mod on the bottom of the info page. Let me know if you guys have issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
It all depends on your device but I use Fifo and asswax (turn off mpdecision on 4.3)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phoenix2217:
Maybe it was a bad flash. With pwncakes puts on the 8/10 release I'll reflash and try again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
No, for some reason I am seeing it too. I may have uploaded the wrong build. I am looking into it

EDIT: this thing is a headache :P
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
It should be fixed, you guys tell me

EDIT: pwncakes confirmed hotplugging is working (thanks man)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vvelvetelvis:
I hate to ask a stupid question but where do I find the kernel settings?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rokonacdc:
You should download TricksterMod from the play store. The settings are in there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vvelvetelvis:
Just caught that in the op. thanks for the quick reply. I thought this came with something like it tweaker
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rokonacdc:
You can adjust some kernel settings from the system settings app on most ROMs, but TM is much better.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vvelvetelvis:
Got trickster and applied your setting from a few pages back. Will see how my battery does. Love illusion rom but the battery life leaves something to be desired as do most aosp roms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rokonacdc:
That's funny. My phone seems to get much better battery on AOSP. I've only used the TW ROMs, but I've close to hated them all.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Ask and you shall recieve. Latest update with goodies and faux sound fix ;)

I keep getting restarts and sudden deaths since I put ver. 1.7 kernel. I'm on cm 10.2 8/9. Should I reflash everything again?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phoenix2217:
I would say install it over the 8.11 build. Since 4.3 is so new and this kernel is 2 days synced ahead of the 8.9 build there may be stuff that is breaking. They're adding quite a bit every day to the kernel
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SirFunk:
I am getting the random reboots on the 8.11 as well
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
People getting random reboots: try making going back to stock clocks (384 and 1512) and see if that helps. Cm sources are constantly changing and nothing is stable yet so its bound to happen. I wanted to bring you guys tweaks asap but it is a beta. If that fixes it I can try reverting over and under clock tonight. Keep the feedback coming

EDIT: also I live on a 4.2.2 build as of now so I only get to test my 4.3 builds for a few hours.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caulton:
Make sure you are flashing the latest ROM

cuz something's might break or even make the phone reboot :)...my 0.02
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
8.11 is the latest ROM ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caulton:
ahhh over looked that

....silly afternoon buzz :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jazztrmpter:
I actually haven't been able to reproduce this. I was have been capturing the syslog since after the last time it locked up...but nothing yet! I'll see if anybody's experienced similar in the rom's thread. I've been quite busy lately, but the kernel has been fantastic on 4.2.2 Carbon v1.8!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nishchhal:
Testing the newest release with cm10.2 (8.11), will post results shortly. No FCs or reboots so far.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
make sure you have updated to latest build, a lot have come out since you posted

whew, I will still look into it. Please post govs and io as well as clocks so I can see if its one specifically doing the reboots
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Okay so new build has frandom support for 4.2.2

I am considering dropping the lowest clock speed if I can make it stable, is this something you guys are interested or do you have other requests
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nishchhal:

Okay people with reboots check out latest build and let me know if it is fixed. Its hard for me to test because I can't get mine to reboot.

Everyone else, check out the latest build anyway :P its smoother and has undervolting (hello battery) as well as user undervolting so you can control it yourself (minimum is 850 so you can set it lower, the system will just keep it at 850 anyways)

READ THIS PLEASE:

so after some deliberation I decided to put up a donation link. First and foremost I want you guys to know that this is actually fun for me, like a lot of fun, and that's why I do it. Coding and problem solving is fun to me. Also I looked at the info on the downloads and within half a day I got people downloading from Canada, Malta, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Dominican Republic, and India. That's so cool and is enough reason for me to do this!

If you guys want to donate, I won't say no, but I promise it will only go towards books for coding, or anything that directly feeds back into the kernel and hopefully maybe a ROM someday (I have a long ways to go). I can't stress enough though that this is entirely free to you and I expect nothing of you guys! Just slap that thanks button and keep the feed back and requests (haven't heard many recently) coming!!
