Man... someone really does NOT want me to do a Quantum Kernel.

After finally fixing the internet, it broke again, only to work, then break again while downloading toolchains. Took 5 hours to download 48 MB.

Then when it all finally downloaded I decided to go vacuum, mop, and clean for my suitemates... until my toilet broke and started overflowing. Currently mopping up poo-water. The new kernel will be coming out soon -_-

I'm assuming, then, that VirtualBox is working well for you. Hope so; I've been using it for years with no significant issues (other than the ones that inevitably crop up when using a virtual machine, of course), running all sorts of flavors of Windows, Linux, and even DOS. I should dig up my OS/2 CDs and relive a few memories. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
Nope, still using my lovely VMWorkstation. I even got a chance to repo sync for a real quantum build too ;)

It ended up being the horrible internet here. I'd gladly take **** on my floor over having no internet connection whenever I installed the stuff to make Quantum.

I work IT at a college. College Internet is the worst! I keep telling them we need more bandwidth. They keep adding computers to the network without upgrading the internet. You can barely watch YouTube. Plus, we have massive packet loss thanks to ten year old routers. And, if the donkey that's running the treadmill dies, we're really screwed! :D

OS2! Loved that OS! Wish IBM would have never sold it to MS,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
They didn't. OS/2 was originally a joint venture between them, but then they went their separate ways, MS with Windows NT 3.5 and IBM with OS/2 2.0. Last I knew, after IBM folded OS/2 at version 4.0, the product was spun off into something called eComStation, designed mainly for business who already had OS/2 in critical applications and couldn't easily migrate to something else, but as a commercial operating system, OS/2 pretty much died at that point. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS/2 for a pretty good rundown of OS/2's history. But yeah, I was really gung-ho for OS/2 for a while; OS/2 Warp 3.0 was probably the best version IBM ever released. It made the Windows 98 and NT GUIs look like the godawful crap they were. :D

Might be a lame idea considering its a college. Could you private torrent the file? at least there would be download resuming. So even if the download goes down it will take off where it started. have someone else upload it from there.

Thank you for this Pwn!

a Question on another note.- I am not whining- If I try and download this from d-h.st/,Ai via my phone, as opposed to my desktop, I have to navigate thru a mine field of tap traps on my galaxys limited screen real estate, promising to clean my system of a virus,install a new whatchamacallit, set me up with a russian bride,etc etc. :) On the pc it doesnt seem to be as troublesome. Is there something Im missing, I could be doing,android wise?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JJohnson1988:
Just tried to see if F2FS would work. Still no go.

I used CM M9 as I read recent releases support the file system, then I installed Pwn's latest kernel. But I still can't mount /system thereafter in PhilZ Touch CWM, which means I can't install GApps. And I can't boot the device, period.

Am I missing something here? Has /anyone/ managed to successfully boot with F2FS?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chr0nicDreamz:
No, I've tried it multiple times on different ROMs, all a no go.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JJohnson1988:
Aside from F2FS still not working for me, the kernel is very snappy and silky smooth. I just came from the latest Leankernel and I definitely see a difference. QK is just more responsive in general.

Using Intelliactive and BFQ with stock voltages and no reboots yet! I'll try out some games tonight for a more realistic test.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjah:
Thanks, Tom. :)

Installed the new kernel on my existing Quantum 5.2 build, wiped cache + dalvik, and right out of the box have reboots immediately when doing anything with the phone after 10min. Stock browser, maps, messenger, etc. Any third party apps results in reboot almost instantly - words with friends, instagram, pandora, etc. I see people on Liquidsmooth nightlies are complaining about the same things, so it's likely some CM commits from 6+ weeks ago (since that's when I first recall these reboot problems cropping up for a large amount of people).

Sorry, don't have a last_kmsg at the moment. I'm going to try a clean install of latest CM nightlies later today to see if I still get the reboots and scrolling/typing lag that I get here.

I'm currently using yeah, bfq at 256, max frequency lock at 1458000, and on interactive X.

not sure I'm willing to play around since it has not rebooted once, sips the juice and is buttery smooth- hell the damn thing slipped right out of my hands!

Using the quantum kernel in Pacman rom it was smooth yesterday but today got to many reboots. Had to go back to lean kernel :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjah:
So, in an attempt to track things down to the 9/8 QK, I downloaded and installed the latest nightlies from Carbon Rom (9/7), CM (9/7), and LiquidSmooth (9/6). With these, I first used the stock kernels and the latest PA GAPPS (9/1), then installed the 9/8 QK to see if anything changed.

I had no reboots on clean installs of these ROMs. I had no issues that I could tell, including no FCs or other stability problems.

However, as soon as I installed the 9/8 QK, I experienced significant and quick reboots on each clean ROM install. There were also problems with stock system apps FCing. This is similar to what was experienced a couple of months ago with the first couple/few QKs released with Quantum 5 ROM.

Just for S&Gs, I downloaded the latest leankernel and installed it over the 9/8 QK, and did not experience reboots or FCs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JJohnson1988:
Reboots on InteractiveX and Intelliactive, as well as ROW and BFQ. Default settings otherwise.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
The problems lies withing the fact the Pwn hasn't added d2can in the kernel list of okay device to install onto. Believe me, it works.

Open the zip, navigate to META-INF\com\google\android\ and edit updater-script with a decent text editor (plz not word)

First line reads as this:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2vzw" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2vzw" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2tmo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2tmo" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2spr" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2spr" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2att" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2att" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2mtr" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2mtr" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2usc" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2usc");

Replace it with:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2vzw" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2vzw" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2tmo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2tmo" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2spr" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2spr" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2att" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2att" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2mtr" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2mtr" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2usc" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2usc" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2can" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2can");

Save and repack the zip file if you unpacked it.

Tada, now it works when you flash it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Flashing a d2att recovery would be faster and wouldn't have to be done for every update. But the option is up to him obviously.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] androidman23:
so instead of using the d2lte version of philz I get the d2att one?

EDIT: I am downloading the CMW touch6.0.2.3, would that work?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
If I read above right its saying that you aren't on a d2att recovery but still a d2can. If that's the case you want to flash a d2lte recovery and it'll work.

What's your carrier in Canada?

This usually happens when people flash recoveries through ROM manage or Goo.im it picks up a Canadian phone and flashes d2can.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] androidman23:
I am on Rogers, and I downloaded philz from the website
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
D2can and d2lte were a pain in the ass at the beginning. No worries. Sometimes there's just hicupps.

Regardless, it still think a you are a d2can.

Flash a d2lte recovery manually and try again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] androidman23:
Redownloaded philz and reflashed. That didnt change anything. CWM wont flash for some reason either
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
I always manually flash TWRP through Odin.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mcnutty:
Don't touch bootloaders or radio, and you will have no risk of bricking. If you compile a bad kernel, it just won't work right (bootloop, buggy, whatever), and you can just go back into recovery and try again.

Not a problem, just boot back into recovery. Power off via battery pull or holding power down, then press and hold volume up and power until the Samsung logo comes up, keep holding volume up and let go of power, and it should boot into recovery.

I don't know anything for certain. But please correct me if I'm wrong.

The unified build in general has lessened the effectiveness of a specific device to connect and maintain data connections. I've noticed it with the s3 and s4 with unified builds. Apparently there are "blobs" that can repair signals for devices, but it is well beyond me how to do that.

As far as your issue goes.....did you try a restore to stock and clean instal of quantum?

The "broken" ROM is very battery friendly
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCatharsis:
I haven't been keeping up with this thread lately, mostly due to the lack of updates.

And that segues into my question. Long time user of Quantum, almost 2 years now since I very first flashed my s3. Of course I'm no developer and have always been grateful for everything in the XDA community, particularly this ROM. Unfortunately, I fear that development has gone defunct. Is that official yet?

Understandable and that is the nature of technology development anyway. I was sad to let my EVO go just the same 2 years ago when I got this. Nevertheless I would not be using that phone now despite how much I thought it was one of the greatest pioneer devices that really spurred ROM development.

Similarly, quantum has been, to me, one of the primary motivators for further development ever since the S3 became a popular device.

So either way, I'm happy with what I've had in the past through the development of quantum and if the author has moved on, or not, thanks for everything.

Some may notice that I am NOT a frequent name on the thread, frequent reader infrequent poster. But I found this topic important enough to be in the handful of posts I have ever made in almost 5 years on XDA.
