Nothing. 3.X was long term branch. We're lucky that we could upstream our kernel to latest 3.0.X branch and that it was maintained that long.

This is the final release (end of life) and it means that if you want to see newest linux upstream version for our device, it will be 3.0.101, while for CM it's 3.0.64 (at least now) and for Samsung it's 3.0.31.

update

Hi guys

i see there is a new update (beta3) and have quick question,

do i just use boefflla config app to install the update? and do i need wipe/clean anything ?

Thanks for the advise.

BTW i am using beta2 currently.

Is there any possible way you could fix the graphical glitches in archidroid with HWC?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rp158:
Did you uncheck NU-Player in DevOptions?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Don't you think that your phone is telling you something ??.

It's worth try to achieve that 6% increase in performance, risking breaking your phone ??, do you really think that it will be really noticeable ??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] supabee24:
I was only curious, i wanted only to know if my phone could be stable at 1704 mhz. I would only have tried a benchmark to see the differences, then i would have switched back to 1600 that is very very stable to me
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kijuz80:
Also my battery is so old, but my screen on time is 3 hour average, 13 hour device time on.

My conf:

Temasek/arter97 cm12, boeffla 6a, pegasus boeffla moderate

I also block many wakelock with privacy guard app ops ( NFC, LinkedIn, hangout tapatalk etc etc).

I leave unchanged only apps and services i use:

Gmail and contact sync

Whatsapp

Hope it helps.

Many many thanks to lord boeffla!!!!!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Then you have, sadly, a phone hardware which is not supporting any overclocking to that level.

And there is nothing you can really do against it. It is just a hardware limitation.

No, please search up the thread.

I do not have graphical glitches anymore since the code base of n7100 has been merged in.

At least not during daily usage. There might be some apps like youtube, chrome sometimes create issues. But yes, I explained about it from my angle a lot of times. So if you search the thread you will find.

I have no plans to do any more bigger changes to the CM12 kernel for that area as this is not a kind of official development, and never will be. Currently everyone can do it's own thing, and I am not ready to support everything from my side.

So if you think a different kernel works better for you in terms of graphics, use it.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Have you looked into the ramdisk already?

This is loaded as first thing by the bootloader, even before the kernel zImage.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZjemCiKolege:

Yup. And this I even explained a few days ago in this thread (i guess).

It is perfectly explainable...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Obvious, the i9300 can't do heavy operations above 1.6GHz. Don't clock it to such speeds, you might damage your device.

[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] Andi what do you think about vnswap and what's the difference between zram? Is use physical memory? I cannot found a good explanation
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Maxpawner:
is the permanent overclock the CPU to 1.6 ghz with -25 undervolting permanently bad (mamelessrom 5.0.2 + boeffla ng 6a)?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
No because our processor should have been clocked to 1.6 in the first place ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Maxpawner:
Ok nice thx :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] XDAMaxe:
You can run cpu (with no uv) at 1.6ghz without any probs (or add. batt drain) because it doesn't exceed exynos 4412 specs - so in fact no oc
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I don't think our version of the processor was meant to be 1.6GHz. If you're saying this because of the Note 2, the Note 2 has a tweaked version of the chip
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Well, che chipset code is exactly the same, maybe for the note series are reserved the best exynos batches, or S3 is downclocked for better battery and thermal performance. Anyway I'm using my S3 at 1.6 ghz for many months and works flawlessly, and despite having tuned governor and I/O for best performance, the use of the max frequency is small.

ps.: there is a japanese version of the S3 running the exynos at 1.6 ghz.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I'm not so sure about that because the N7100 caan handle 1.8GHz whereas ours can't.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Oh, many thanks.

I would never advertise myself, but of course if happy users do it, it is more than fine :)

Honestly, I need to investigate myself.

vnswap is a feature of a newer Linux kernel version only, not exactly sure with which kernel version it has been introduced, I believe 3.4.

But as I never use even zRam, I did not look into zswap either.

On the S3 I would anyways not implement it as I would need to either backport it from the higher kernel version or uplift some areas of our kernel to higher Linux kernel versions. Both are not what I like for stability.

arter97 explained it somewhere in his thread, but I think it was not 100% conclusive either in the end.

My view: It is not permanently bad, as thermal throttling would ensure the CPU does not overheat.

However, this is just my opinion.

All in all, the CPU willoperate at higher temperatures in general when overclocked. And as we know, heat is never good for semiconductors.

Correct. The stepping of the SoC built into the S3 devices are specified up until 1400 only. So it is indeed overclocking, but as the same SoC with just a different stepping (version) can take higher frequencies officially, I decided to put it in my kernel in the past. Although I am in general against OC, same as I am against UV.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
So the N7100 and the i9300 use the same physical SoC?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Both use a 4412 Exynos SoC. But not physically identical versions (steppings).

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
It's crazy to think that the last batches of S3 may have been built with the same stepping as Note 2 ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZjemCiKolege:
Hey Andi do you can update the kernel of latest ramdisk cm12? :]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] agusdallalba:

I am testing a new kernel just as we write. If all ok, I will release it tomorrow.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ettore88:
Hi guys!!!Where can i found the Boeffla's profiles?THX in advance!!!;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
New versions for CM12 (NG and non-NG)

Hi all,

the CM12 Kernel is now available in version alpha7 (both NG and non-NG version). It is only a small maintenance update!

I clearly recommend to use the NG version, not the non-NG, to not face graphical issues. (I even might pull the non-NG version in next future, as I do not see real benefit to provide it for much longer)

Both variants have the same change log:

Version 3.0-alpha7

23.01.2015

Implemented new Boeffla-Sound equalizer profile "Googy-Max"

Ramdisk updated to inofficial CM12 build of 22.01.15

Enjoy

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Yay!

i thought boeffla sound didn't work on lollipop.. :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] myshakugan:
That's an issue with archikernel, not boeffla kernel. If you're on boeffla kernel, boeffla sound works like a charm. If you're on archikernel 1.7.2 and enable boeffla sound, you're gonna have issues with speaker.

Does CM12 NG-kernel support exfat?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
"* exFat support (if supported by used firmware)"

Read the OP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes it does.

But it should not be required hardly anymore as cm12 comes with fuse drivers for exfat.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] 80s Baby:
What's the right version to flash for paranoid android 4.4.4 ... I flashed version 2.5 ng the last time but my screen looked saturated. Is that normal? If not. What would you recommended I flash?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
As I am not using any other roms apart from the CM or Omnirom original versions, I cannot recommend you. But sure many others can.

But what I am interested in: What do you mean by "screen look saturated" ?

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
He means that colors look like they look on amoled,too damn colorfull and unnatural.

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

Ng is the right version but go to advanced display and change the way you like it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, but it is a question of taste.

I personally like vivid colors :)

On CM11, the non-NG kernel has the older MDNIE implementation in place, where colors look a bit less vidid. On NG, new MDNIE causes more vivid and saturated colors.

On CM12, all kernels have to use the new MDNIE in order to work with the roms around.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dkonect:
Always the most customisable kernel.

Amazing
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Moster2:
Actually you dont even need to backport anything. Vnswap and zswap can be used directly from samsung sources. I just tested that and it seems to work fine.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
I've set MDNIE in 2 with Boeffla app (with a delay of 15 sec.) and I get "normal" colors like in CM11, not over saturated ones.

Andi I've changed LP theme with a dark one, but your app still starts with a flash of white, even I've configured to holo design. This doesn't happens in CM11, is the rom or maybe the app ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ok, good to know. But I still have no intention to implement it.

I think zRam does quite well.

It is normal, it is the app.

Under CM11 or below it starts the app (until it loads the profiles finally) with holo design. With CM12 it starts the app in material light first (until it loads the profiles finally).

I cannot change this. A few versions ago I had the app starting invisible until the theme gets applied. But this caused graphical issues for some people, which I could replicate. So... yeah, thats how it is. I think you can live with it :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Moster2:
The only benefit of zswap is that it does kick out least recently used pages when its full, zram just rejects new pages and keeps the old ones.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Well, maybe it's an interesting difference, if the performance is at least at the same level.

[MENTION=220904]andi[/MENTION]

Does notbetter to use gcc 4.8? ;]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 80s Baby:
Sorry I don't know how to double quote on tapatalk. Anyway what I meant by saying that my screen looks saturated was that the colours look way different from stock. Its sharp and a bit blurry.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I don't. I stay with proven 4.7 stock toolchain.

If you want my kernel recompiled with other toolchains, look for ZaneZam's threads.

That is result of the nee mdnie engine which Samsung implemented long ago in source update 12.

If you are not on cm12 already, you can try the normal kernel instead of ng version.

On cm12 you have to live with it.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Moster2:
I guess he is referring to the fact that 4.8 is now stock on lollipop.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] khanmein:
@LB wanna ask u a question, when i playing any vids on mx player with H/W no issue but if i skip to any parts, it will hang. mostly this issue due to rom rite?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] senaferdy79:
Yep i faced it too. Change to S/W and the skip-hang is gone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kadopt:
Use HW+. It will use HW decoding and will not hang.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] khanmein:
of course it won't hang if u didn't drag the seek bar. try drag the seek bar. it solved b4 in previous rom which causes youtube got graphics glitches so i think kinda related with it.

some vids will hanged, the sound still continue playing. some vids will become upside down or orientated.

Dear boeffla. Your update on the beta 7 doesnt works on the last update of teamsek 0125.

Sorry for noob question
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I don't know what does not work as I don't use Temasek.

I use only justarchi/moster inofficial cm12.

So... Not likely I will change something for a rom I don't use (unfortunately everyone can do what he wants in cm12... So it is quite a sh***).

[Galaxy S III Android Development] SlimFatso:
I'm sorry if it's been asked already but would you consider adding the ability to make touchwake work even if the phone was locked with the lock button ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
That'd be great, but the terrible irritation of having the screen turn on in your pocket or elsewhere is not great.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, because of exactly that reason.

Put a screen off widget on your home screen, then you can switch the phone off and wake it up again if required.

However, the power button is then the safe way to really make sure touchwake is inactive when you put your phone away (pocket etc.).

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
What 'issues'?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DroidShift79:
No issues with alpha 7.

It's awesome on RR ROM. Also I feel huge sound quality over some FM transmitter. Testing since 3days. No graphic glitches, so far.

I was used to use zzmove, but with my actual setup, it seems tuned pegasusplus together with zram brings best concerning battery and smooth performance.

I wonder if Andi used some of DerTeufels commits. Which also seem to bring a lot of allover smoothness and sound quality

I only used DerTeufel Commits from the official cm12 kernel source branch. None else.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION], is there any app or widget as such which changes system settings (clock speed, voltage, governor). When I'm in the go, I like to use the Battery friendly profile. But when I need to game, I use the stock profile. Any suggestions?

(Sorry for the disturbance)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, you can define the profiles you need in boeffla-config and create shortcuts on your homescreen for them. So you can activate them by just one click.

If you want to have it more automated, you can also connect apps like Tasker to switch the profiles in boeffla-config automagically based on triggers.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Thanks a lot! (Can't toggle thanks at the moment. Weird behavior on the XDA One App)

Does exfat work with CM12 kernel here?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, it does.

But you have to mount (or remount) using the kernel drivers yourself in order to utilize it.

CM12 comes with exfat fuse drivers already, not using the kernel drivers by default.

[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION], somebody has encountered a problem with the music app in CM12 Weekly 2. Apparently the Music app starts FCing after flashing Boeffla. Any idea?

Not yet, currently at work and cannot flash weekly 2. But will do a bit later...

Ah, question on that: What is "the" music app in CM12? Honestly I freeze most of the apps straight away and replace them with my own apps. Same of course for my mp3 player which I use. So would be good to know exactly which app FC... (still I do not think this is related to kernel though...)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
The stock Music app (I think). The Eleven.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hey all,

just to let you know... I am currently testing a new CM12 kernel version.

It is compiled with gcc 4.8 toolchain (instead of 4.7 as before), has an updated ramdisk and also internal su is updated.

I notice a problem today with my external sd card, when I unmount it, then unplug it, then replug it, I can't mount it anymore it the storage settings. I have to reboot the phone in order to get it back. Is this related to the fact my sdcard is formatted in extfat ?

When you say "remount yourself using kernel driver", can you explain how do you do the operation ?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I tested this morning with opening the app called "Music" which comes with JustArchi CM12 weekly2. No problem, no FC on my side.

You have to. But it is almost finished. I just need to decide whether I will put my brand new compiled busybox 1.23.1 in already or not.

I know the governor from the OnePlus, where I included it in my kernel.

However, in order to work on the S3 the governor needs to be backported and enriched with hotplugging logic.

Not sure if someone did that work already, I certainly will not have enough time to dig into governor development myself over the next weeks.

So if you know a S3 kernel which has it in, let me know please. Then I could try to cherry-pick. Or any other kernel based on Linux 3.0.x for an Exynos device that has it in.

Yes, can be related to ext4. I never tried to use ext4 for a long time for external SD, only had all sort of permission issues that time so I gave up.

Well, in order to mount exfat by using the kernel drivers, you can issue a mount command in a terminal. Maybe there is also an app available doing that, don't know.

The command would look like that:

mount -t exfat -o rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,uid=1023,gid=1023,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,allow_utime=0020 /dev/block/vold/179:49 /storage/sdcard1

mount -t exfat -o rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,uid=1023,gid=1023,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,allow_utime=0020 /dev/block/vold/179:49 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1

Cannot speak for Temasek rom, but on unofficial CM12 by JustArchi no such an issue.
