Thanks a bunch, Adam. Was a pleasure to have you as my user.

Too bad you want for an Oppo Find 7, as it is very close to the OnePlus One for which I am about to release a kernel in a few days. But well... good luck with the Oppo and enjoy!!!

Maybe our ways will cross again one day..

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
Holy ****, ur kiddin?????

I haven't bought the Oppo yet, and it was a VERY close battle between the two, the oppo beat the OnePlus on a few counts, the QHD screen and the expandable memory, and the package I can get from OppoStyle website (phone, screen protector, 32gb SanDisk memory card, easy cover and a spare battery)

I will however be installing OmniROM on it as soon as I get it, so maybe somewhere in the future something may be able to cross over from the Omni kernels and the OnePlus kernel.

So it's time to leave the S3 behind and start a new journey on XDA with my new HTC One M8. Thank you [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] for your amazing Kernel, you really pushed the last bit of performance out of the S3 (not to forget your amazing Boeffla Sound Engine) and without your Kernel and Temaseks CM11 ROM I would have bought another device quite some time ago. Thanks to everyone who helped me throughout my time here :)

Hello everyone!

I have installed on my phone Dirty Unicorns v8.0 Rom today. It's Android 4.4.4 based on Omnirom. And then I have installed Boeffla Kernel for Omnirom. Now I'm trying to create a swap file using Roehsoft RAM Expander ,but it does not work. On TW based Rom(Omega v58) with Boeffla Kernel i could do it. Does anybody know why it does not work now? As I understand Omnirom Kernel supports Swap too? Thank you

I don't know what this app exactly tries to do and how.

But I can confirm, swap is supported (as it is needed for zram anyways).

Andi

Here is the link to this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.swapit.expander.de

I used it to create virtual RAM

And you really think you know what you do? I hope you mentioned that swap on sd (and this is what I think you want to do) will shrink the sd's lifetime to it's absolutely minimum.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KrissN:
I have the same problem - unable to mount my ext4-formatted external SD card. Works fine with non-NG kernel. Tested with latest NG kernel (2.4-beta6) as I noticed an entry in the changelog about some rare SD card mounting issues.

It only works when mounting it manually from the shell.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] quebec1:
but this kernel is compatible with aopk based rom?

sorry for my english
[Galaxy S III Android Development] quebec1:
ok if this answear is for my question, which is the kernel that i use on aokp rom?

sorry for my english
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Depends on the basis of the rom. So I can't say.

But thumb of rule: try Omnirom Boeffla Kernel first if unsure.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] quebec1:
ok i want to try this

aokp_i9300_kitkat_nightly_2014-09-21.zip
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Try Omnirom kernel first.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] quebec1:
ok i try omny kernel, but why cyano kernel is no good?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andjeomilosrdja:
Do what he said,who knows the product better than the creator!:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Not a question of good or bad.

Cm11 kernel is less compatible, only boots on cm11 based roms.

Omnirom kernel boots on almost everything.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
It's me again, this time with "probably crazy again" question ;). I know you'll say no, [MENTION=220904]andi[/MENTION] - but anyway I'll ask ;):

Maybe you've heard that limiting max charge percentage to e.g. 80% will double the battery lifespan, we got countless articles about it - for example this one http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries . For example my battery is 2 years old and over the last year I'm charging it to max 80 - 85% max whenever I can, the battery lost just 5% of it's capacity, so generally it's almost as new!

So my question is - would it be possible to add max charge limiter to your kernel/app in the bright future? For example as a slider in app? I know we can easily exchange the batt in S3, but let's say someone is trying to be as green as possible and not to throw away used batteries every year ;) I know there's already a kernel with Battery Life Extender providing this funcionality but can't remember the name.

So basically this is my humble question - have a great weekend everyone! :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:
What's your SOT from 80 to 40 (or 20)?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
From 80 to 20 it's usually around 3.5 - 4 hours SOT with my medium usage. With light usage see my record few pages back ;)

BUG REPORT for boeffla-kernel-2.4-beta6-CM11.0-NG

I can't mount an ext4-formatted sdcard on the NG kernel.

The sdcard works fine in UMS mode, so the hardware is fine.

Another sdcard formatted as FAT-32 works fine.

The same card with the 2.3a stable kernel works fine.

So the problem almost definitely lays in the NG kernel.

Relevant dmesg line:

c3 EXT4-fs (mmcblk1p1): Unrecognized mount option "context=u:object_r:sdcard_external:s0" or missing value

Maybe SELinux related?

Thank you.

EDIT: Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, or if it has already been reported.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi, the ext4 issue on NG kernels is confirmed.

I will look into it after I recovered a bit. Currently sick and most of my time in bed ?

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hey it is me again. Would you be willing to give a test kernel a try (regarding the ext4 issue)? If so, please PM me.

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi Filther,

well, you did anticipate my answer already.

Although I understand battery life could be extended by only charging to 80%... I have 3 doubts:

No 1 is: a battery is below 10 Dollars of cost, everyone who was able to purchase a S3 for many hundred Dollars should be able to spend another 10 Bucks after 1-2 years

No 2 is: I would not like to sacrifice 20% of my battery power just for a prolonged life time for below 10 Dollars of cost

No 3 is: I do not see the cost/benefit for it (I would assume it takes several hours to investigate and implement something + not sure if the charging curve would even be negatively impacted)... for the cost of a replacement battery? Does not sound appealing to me.

So please do not get me wrong, but I see this as a niche requirement really.

Thanks for understanding

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
hey [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] sorry for the little ot but how can I make sure that I am buying a guanine battery? I don't want to be paying 10$ or more for a fake Chinese battery that has Samsung logo on it :silly:

and btw last beta working rock solid, time for stable? :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I think the answer to that question is: Buy from a trusted dealer.

I always purchase my batteries from Amazon. When they said it is a genuine Samsung, it always was so far (afaik).

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
Not a single problem with ext4 mounting here, since first NG and couple of roms ;). As for sickness - try the old Polish recipe, hot milk + honey + real butter + some garlic, press "thanks" if I helped ;)

I can understand your point Andi, but yeah - it's hard to get genuine battery nowadays from ebay + I'm really trying to reduce the junk I'm leaving after in my life, hence I'm changing mobiles only when it dies or i lose it - and got 2 years old/new battery so I can spend this 10 dollars much better ;) Again - sorry for my obsolescence :)

New NG kernel betas

Hi all,

finally I was able to find and fix the issue with external sd cards formatted with ext4 not mounting during boot up.

Thanks to all who contributed with reporting that issue to me, especially with dmesg logs.

So, there is a new NG beta for the CM11 and for the Omnirom kernel.

(non-NG kernels did not have this issue, so no new versions of them)

Version 2.4-beta6a

06.10.2014

Fixed issue with automatic mounting of an ext4-formatted external sd card (permissive SELinux enabled as consequence)

Enjoy

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
So what was the reason that it wasn't working just for some people? I personally never had any problem of this sort with NG's.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
It tried to mount with selinux mount options, which made it to fail as selinux was switched off in my ng kernels.

The combination was apparently ng kernel + some specific roms (eg cm11 official).

What is your combination?

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
NG 5 Omni + Slimrom 8.0 Official
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ok, maybe it is special for cm11. Dunno.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
So what about the problems you mentioned some time ago with selinux enabled in NG, is it ok now?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
As it is set to permissive, no problem.

But with enforced it would still not work (but didn't try today).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
I'm using ArchiDroid 1.x as my "daily driver" (as the boys says), but updated to ArchiDroid 2.53 (CM11 based if I'm not wrong) some weeks ago, and played with it almost a day with your latest NG kernel before restoring the 1.x nandroid, and I could read and write my exFat formated 64gb Sandisk microSD without a problem... my "two cents" :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, but we were talking about users that formatted their external sd to ext4 :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Ok, sorry, my "zero cents" then... :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
LOL :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2phazt:
Touchboost now seems a bit weird:

Even if i switched it off, my CPU freq wont go under the preset - i had to set it to 200 mhz to ignore it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hm, here nothing was changed at all.

This must be something else.

But the definition of touch boost is anyway not what you described:

Touch Boost means to boost the CPU to the configured frequency as soon and as long the display is touched.

So I think somehow this is not related to your statement.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2phazt:
It DID behave exactly like i wrote - surprisingly now everything works fine - even with the default setting oO
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
Have u thought about looking into similarities between the OnePlus One, and the Oppo Find7? I believe they are almost the same hardware, and can also run CM11 and OmniROM.

Once I get mine I can do any testing for u. I'll be running OmniROM on it straight away ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

have not thought about doing that, as I do not have an OPPO device and my golden rule to not develop for something I do not have is still valid.

However, yes... it seems the devices share big parts of the kernel code. There are many OPPO references in the OnePlus CM code base, I guess someone could even compile a working kernel out of the OnePlus kernel sources with OPPO as target.

So, it is very close.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
DAMN IT!! WHY CANT I CODE!!

Lmao. Totally understand, and please don't think that was me begging for a kernel. The only thing the Find 7 is missing for me is ur kernel, lol.

But for now I'm still on my S3, so still loving ur work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
All good. No worries.

If I had an OPPO, it would be different. Many times said.

But ok for now. First of all the OnePlus kernel needs to prove it is good. Then we will see for the rest.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
From what I have read, u can install the Find7 version of OmniROM on the OnePlus One, with no I'll effects, OnePlus being an offshoot of Oppo as it is, lol.

Anyway, enuff of the off topic, IF u have a look, once I get my Find7 I will gladly teat stuff for u, but that is a massive IF!!!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mmfa:
this kernel is awesome.

cm11 kernel is better or cm11 NG kernel?

i read the first page and difference between those kernel but...:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
NG is closer to Samsung source code, non-NG is closer to CM kernel sources.

Personally I think the NG kernel (thats why it is called Next Generation) is cleaner in terms of code. Pure Samsung + Boeffla only.

So I would go for the NG first. If it suits you, you are there :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] quebec1:
hello i have a question, i tried the cyanogen rom and i don't like it, so now i want to try carbon rom. This rom is based on aosp rom and so i want to know if i use omnikernel ng.

sorry for my english
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
yep, take Boeffla Omnirom-Kernel.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Der-Knuffi:
Andi, as you do have a 1+1, could you compare it to our beloved S3 - if that is not to much of off topic ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Uuuuuuuh, very hard. It is a bit comparing apples with pies.

I mean, the S3 is around 3 years old, the OPO is brand new.

Hardware-wise the differences are quite obvious.

So, the OPO has much more CPU and GPU power. It has a bigger battery which took me over 3 days now with almost 5 hours screen on time. This is quite impressive.

Sound is fine, but we will not be able to tweak so much compared to S3, due to the used audio hub.

Memory is 3 GB vs. 1 GB in the S3, so no zRam required really. Still I put it back in to be save for the future.

Downs are clearly: No external sd card, so OTG USB Sticks are the alternative. And no exchangeable battery - this concerns me most. Have no clue how long the battery lives.

But hey... for 299 EUR, the hardware is excellent. I think this is a investment well done for the next 2 years to fit all requirements.

I cannot really compare OPO to S3. All I can say is: I am very happy and pleased with it. Very nice device for a low price.

I am not regretting it.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Der-Knuffi:
Thank you very much.

As I thought, too: Nice hardware but the battery and the missing SD-Card are almost no-gos for me ...

So you have the 32 GB version ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, I have the 64 GB version. This was the compromise for me.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
1+1 looks amazing, the unchangeable battery wouldn't be a problem in my case since I'm using the "20-80" charging method when possible and battery basically almost didn't lose it's capacity after 2 years and when I really need a juice I just power it up to 100% - lasts forever :). So maybe it could be the reason you could consider (just consider ;)) the charge limiter in your kernel, [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION]? At least for 1+1 it seems quite logical I think :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anybuddy:
There is no 32 GB Version, just 16 (white) and 64 (black). And BTW, the missing SD-Card and the not removable battery was also a no-go for me, but 64 GB is really enough and with an OTG-Stick, or an normal Usb-Stick with Adapter, expandable. And i've got 2d 13h 30m with 9h 13m SOT, so the Battery should easy life more than 2 years ? I love my Bacon! And Andi, at the Weekend i will flash cm11s, so i can try the Lords gift ?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, for 1+1 it is maybe worth being considered. I will look into that for sure.

As I am quite familiar with the charging driver anyways as I put my charge control in. So I think I know already where to hook that in.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HaarisTheBoss:
It's not related to this kernel but somewhat is at the same time.

On any kernel my CPU is running at the highest frequency most of the time. Is there any way to fix this it here than a clean flash?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MatrixDJ96:
When do you release v2.4 stable?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AssassinGEO:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
First another beta. Already compiled.

Then maybe...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] XDAMaxe:
I personally won't be unhappy by no means if you will never ever provide a kernel called 'stable'.

Everyone who used your so called 'beta' kernels in the past should have experienced that they are in fact STABLE (imho like no other !).

So the new users can simply rely on boeffla beta - they won't be disappointed. guaranteed. period. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kouros17:
It's true. Every beta version is very, very stable. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Buckycasuals:
Simply unpack the kernel, recompile the last beta and name it STABLE. Quite easy huh ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rp158:
Hi Andi,

still an info about the charging-animation, when phone powered off:

I tested the recent LiqidSmooth- and SlimKat-rom. If I add 'SlimBean Charging Animation', it works with their own kernels. With Boeffla-kernel SlimKat freezes on the grey battery-icon and LiquidSmooth switches off screen after grey icon /switches on led (without showing the actual state of charging). Seems a kernel-item, altough not important for the most people.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] loris100:
[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] hi, i would like to ask you if its possible to add another frequency for the cpu....like 1800mhz...1704mhz is very stable and i feel my cpu can go higher without getting to hot unless when benchmarking.

thanks.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Full HD:
When you read OP you will notice that Andi NEVER implement real hard overclocking higher than 1.6 Ghz. Possible to do but he never will.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ping_2000:
He already has ... 1.7ghz :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, might be. I never charge my phone switched off. There is just no single reason of doing it.

So I am not planning to implement work arounds for that.

But anyway, thanks for reporting.

Technically possible = yes.

In my kernel = no.

I experimented with it, and it never ran stable on my two S3 phones. So I have no use for it.

And I would need to sacrifice another frequency, as I do not want to implement an additional frequency step due to my close-to-stock objectives.

So I am sorry, but you would need to live with 1704 or switch to another kernel.

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] loris100:
i tried arter97 kernel which has this 1800mhz but i cant complete a benchmark...cant overvolt...and i dont like that kernel overall.

so comon Andi....;) pls add another frequency....im sure with overvolt we can get that frequency stable.

thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Keep on begging, I will not do it :)

I am not adding frequency steps as per my design goals, and also 1800 was never stable with any overvolting I tried.

Really sorry, but there is no way. Not for 1000 EUR :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] loris100:
pls pls pls....hahahahah ok no problem, i just wanted to brag about benchmark scores thats all...:D

at last dont lower current frequency:cool: 1700mhz Cpu and 700mhz on gpu is quite alot.

and intelliactive governor is perfect for me...good performance and battery life....good work.:good:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] loris100:
i wasnt criticizing boeffla kernel...i was just asking if he could add a higher frequency thats all....

i wasnt criticizing justarchi's kernel aswell....i was responding to a guy who said that archi kernel was smoother and more battery efficient then boeffla kernel....which isnt true, and missleading....thats all.

i tried archi kernel and was smooth just like boeffla one when in performance governor was enabled...but also not battery efficient at all...but justarchi thought i was disrespecting him which isnt true...i just stated my opinion.

Why is NG version a bit more stuttery in 2d and 3d then smdk version?

The camera quality is far better but a bit laggy performance keeps me away, from kernel and aosp, can that be fixed or is it due to sammy sources not liking cm? [MENTION=220904]LordBoeffla[/MENTION] ?

And, is maybe omni version any better?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I really cannot answer this question as NG for me is even smoother than smdk.

But not playing 3d games, also no 2d games. In daily usage nothing is laggy for me.

But hey - you have the choice. If smdk version runs better for you, nothing wrong using it.
