Haha, nice try.

I cannot because I do not compile roms myself too. So only people that have knowledge about rom AND kernel can finally improve that.

And also, this goes far beyond my available time for the next weeks.

Asking for advice

Andi.

Recently discover this camera and mod setting as storage the external SD and begin using normally but after Alpha 8 update i get locked the access to my external SD. I see this issue reported in JustArchi/Moster2 thread and issue tracker.

I remember get the same situation with first builds of the rom and others camera app and i have to reformat my card to get this working.

There is some command to get the sd access without formating? I not asking for a fix, only tips to get a workaround.

Really ty in advance, already tried flash new a9 but without luck

Update:

Reflashed Alpha9 get bootloop, batery/sd retired, put batery again, leave boot, insert SD, all working... totally weird!! Sorry for disturb!.

Update: reboot and get the issue again :S Going to do a full wipe.

Are we talking about Chrome here? Because in Chrome you need to disable 'GPU rasterization' in "chrome://flags"

Are we going to see a OmniROM kernel? I'm trying to compile Omni by myself and I can't use my phone without Boeffla :P

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

That's some really weird behavior.

I ALMOST forgot to say. When I switch to battery friendly profile through the Boeffla-config app, I get a bootloop. Only solution is to re-insert the battery.

PS- I set GPU clock to 266/350. UI works awesome, battery is saved :) just a tip for you guys.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
Yeah, chrome might have a workaround, but for example SnapChat, you cant do anything to fix these glitches.

Is there an OMNIrom for lollipop?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
We discussed graphical glitches in general but also the issues in Chrome and other apps, yes.

Thanks for the tipp, did not know that it can be worked around by a Chrome setting.

Not planning an Omnirom kernel at the moment. Do they even have working Android L versions for the s3??

Battery friendly profile uses some undervolting. So can be it does not work for every one. But the presets are anyways meant for new users or plain noobs. You have found your way already as I can see :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No idea, sorry. I am not using the camera I have to say.

As I never had this issue ever on any rom in the past 2 years, I struggle even to give you any advise.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
At the moment, absolutely no time for another kernel variant. I am sorry.

I have to drop other kernels if I would plan to do so.

Or, I resign from my job and you all pay my bills :)

Sorry, no bandwidth anymore with currently 14 active kernels already.

Is there anyone here that use cm11 or slim 444 with boeffla oMNI kernel latest 2.6?

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] Admittedly I gave up trying to flash your latest kernel OMNI 2.6 on Temasek cm11 or L-Droid slim based. No idea why I keep getting the frequent lock-ups.

No idea if it has to do with the updated ramdisk, as I reckon those aforementioned build was compiled November last year.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I'm too lazy to configure the system, your presets are useful and do the job at a click :)

There is an unofficial S3 OmniROM made by somebody, quite buggy though, and yes they do. They even have the kernel and device tree for S3 LP
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No problem. Sometimes in life things just do not go as planned.

I can only say... use latest CM11 nightly + latest CM11 stable kernel. Works super stable for me.

But with your specific phone, I tend to not give any recommendations anymore. I can only lose :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
And that is the point - it is also fully unofficial. I have enough work with unofficial kernel already with CM12. Every day all can break completely due to having many teams working on their own. Not an ideal situation.

And funny, I watched the Android 5 branch on the Omnirom kernel repo for long time, but nothing happened. So I gave up by end of the year. But they started pushing a few commits begining 2nd of Jan.

And what I see, one commit is cherry-picked from my repo.

So, it is almost the existing Omnirom 4.4. kernel still. A ramdisk swap would most probably make it work. But when I do not see more activity there, I think they have the same pace in getting something stable out. So... not very interesting for me as we speak.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Well, no wonder. I'm having various build errors.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] seroesh:
okay, I'm on NG, I prefer NG myself.. had that on 4.4.4 Tema too!

can i use old profile with CM12? like I use to use mgh onedemand lite user v2.. will it work on CM12 too or do we have cm12 profiles made by users?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Audi22:
Autostart

It is important or not to set Boeffla Config of Autostart?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, you can exchange the profiles between cm11 and cm12. The kernels are quite similar in that sense.

Not super important. But you will not receive any profile applied notifications anymore.

And settings are not correctly applied when you use soft rebooting.

The app is designed to fully complete and unload after the work during startup (display of notification mainly) is done. So it will not use any more memory, cpu and battery by design. No background services etc.

So you can safely let it autostart. I recommend not to change anything here.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2phazt:
Thank you Andi for backporting the actual changes to your CM11 kernel - feels snappier!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mad_Lion:
Hello,

I am happily using this kernel for al long time :) Now I have version CM12.0 NG 3.0 alpha9. Everything works great, but now I have problem with OTG cable.

I bought this cable: http://img.alibaba.com/img/pb/571/971/519/519971571_427.jpg It supposedly can charge battery while you are using USB drive or other USB device.

Now problem is when I plug one end into phone and other to charger, phone won't charge or receive power (Boeffla app shows Not connected 0mV)

USB drive and other connected devices work normally, phone just wont acknowledge there is charger connected to it. It won't even charge if I disconnect USB device and only leave charger connected. (Acts like there is nothing connected)

But the thing is that when phone is turned off it charges normally and even shows charging animation regardless of if there is anything connected to usb or not. This gives suspicion this is kernel limitation rather than hardware. Lord Boeffla can you please check what is up with this thing and even fix it if you can? Thank you :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fcaronte:
it's a Y cable and is made for phone witout official support of otg to provide energy for the usb stick because the phone don't give the power to usb stick....probably with this cable you can use an hard disk too but i never try
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mad_Lion:
Meh. wasn't looking for this. Yes clearly is Y cable. It's even stated in ebay description. And yes I could use hard disk but currently I won't.

I am looking if anything can be done to use usb key and charge the phone at the same time. The phone does charge normally when turned off so that is indicator phone CAN receive power normally with that cable it just doesn't when turned on. Also such setups has been done before (usb OTG key and charging at the same time) I am looking for the reason why it won't work when the phone is on, but works when phone is off (at least charging) Lord Boeffla probably knows what the reason is or can check the kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Unfortunately what you want is not easily possible, maybe not at all. When the phone recognises a usb device, it switches to usb host mode. This disables charging consequently.

Standard kernel behaviour on all Galaxy phones I know.

When phone is off, the ueb device is not recognised, hence charging still works.

Sorry

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mad_Lion:
Thank you for your answer. So you think there is no way to convince phone to charge while in usb host? How is done in ums mode option in Boeffla config? Does phone charge then? Or something like temporary mtp mode option? like with pc when you can access storage on pc but phone still charges? How was then this done in some mod threads? If I remember the hack was to only add 100k transistor on cable? What change this made? Could we anyhow recreate the effect, on kernel level instead of modding cable?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION]. I had weird behavior with Alpha 8 and 9. Reboots after switching presets, really random reboots out of nowhere, at times when it'd reboot, it'd just stay on the Samsung boot screen and do nothing. I had to remove re-install the battery then. Now back on Alpha 7, everything's smooth.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] seroesh:
Lord Boeffla, I'm using Tema CM12 with alpha9, but the phone seems very laggy at times.. how is the performance in Archi's CM12 that you are using with ur kernel? Since long I've been using ur kernel and I cannot get along with any other.. is it just me or CM12 is a bit laggy on S3 or is it just Tema CM12 that's a bit laggy atm?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Buckycasuals:
Forget about cm12. It doesn't matter how much you tweak it, set LMK, change gov, upgrade toolchain etc. It will always be laggy on i9300. I have already reverted to cm11 and quite happy with you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] marenp:
Always laggy? Never had any lags either flashed CM12 by Archi or temasek and dont forget, temasek is based on Archi's CM12.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] g-oleg:
have no lags on cm12, except chrome fc sometimes. but my brother experience huge lags with same rom. only difference is installed apps, so i think some of these apps are the cause.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
I didnt have a single lag on cm12 its ever more smooth and faster than cm11 for me.

Tasker integration

Hi all,

today I took the time and figured out how tasker can be used to load a profile defined within Boeffla-Config.

The reason is, I sometimes get requests like: "can you include in boeffla config app to switch a profile when I start a specific app", or.. "can you include something to switch profile when there is a Wednesday"... etc etc.

My response was always: No, I am not gonna do that as this would mean, Boeffla-Config needs to run a service and is always active in the background. This goes against my objective of having a "lean app".

But - there is an excellent way to achieve all of that, and even more, basically whatever you like: The app is called tasker, costs a few dollars, but is worth every cent.

With tasker (which is quite complex, you need to dig in a little bit to understand it) you can define any rule you want and trigger the load of a Boeffla-Config profile based on your rule.

All you need to do is send an intent from tasker to Boeffla Config with the profile name you want to load.

Here is how you can do that (also see screenshots for reference):

Action: android.intent.action.MAIN

Cat: None

MIME Type: (keep empty)

Data: (keep empty)

Extra: profile:profilename

Extra: keep empty)

Package: de.andip71.boeffla_config_v2

Class: de.andip71.boeffla_config_v2.ProfileShortcutActivity

Target: Activity

Hope it is somewhat understandable. Tasker experts will be able to straight away use it.

Will also put this into documentation and FAQ on homepage soon.

Cheers

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nicesoni_ash:
Sweet. Will be really helpful.

So we could do it like if I run a game send an intent to boeffla app to change profile or when we switch off screen change screen to different profile, right?

Edit:

Worked just fine, tested with minion rush. Sweet. Thanks again.:D

Another request:.. Could you please implement andreilux version/tunables from pegasusq../ or create a new one.. (So we can choose between stock pegasusq and andrei's).. Rightly tuned it's much more battery saving than the stock one.. :).. Or are you very unhappy with this..://
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Is it working with the existing standard tunables, pegasusq provides?

Never looked at it...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] striked0wn:
Yes.. :).. But has a more tunables.. And afaik some changed logics.. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ok, that was my question. So it is NOT using the existing tunables but relying on more.

I will check it and let you know... if I implement it, then as own govenor, maybe called pegasusq+ or so. But first I wanna see what has been done.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
It is a driver thing. It doesn't charge once an usb device us recognised.

And I am not aware of anyone who achieved a different behaviour with the used maxxim chipset in the s3.

Also I have to be honest enough to sas, I am not planning to do big developments for the s3 kernels anymore. They are in maintenance status. So I will not have the time to look into feasibility of that very specific request myself.

Interesting, only change was the toolchain change to 4.8.

But for the majority this is not an issue. Weird.

You might want to add some zram, maybe it is an out of memory issue.

Also resetting the configuration once and stay with default settings may be worth trying for a while.

I am happy with the combo.

But as said many times, I am not using my s3 that much anymore as it is not my main phone anymore.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Weird. I'm using the Alpha 9 with CM12 nightly now, let's see how it goes!

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

One more thing, what's the recommended ZRAM config?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
Ide recommend 800mb 4 devices and 90 swappiness
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fcaronte:
For me 600 mb are ok....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] seroesh:
Okay, I'm on alpha 9 and v6.1 Tema CM12.. I'm going to increase my zram to the above recommended setting, tell me which kernel profile you are using and what LMK settings.. so that I can have a better experience too!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
LMK settings are default values didn't change those. Also everything is default, I only overclock to 1600 and undervold -25mV and I activate touch boost at 800mhz that's all and I have pretty fluid system
[Galaxy S III Android Development] seroesh:
touch boost was already 800 mhz, overlock was already 1600, I have no undervolt.. will do that if I get less battery, the only thing was my zram, which was set to 200/4.. it's not 800/4 and the swippiness was 40 and not it's 90.

Lets hope for the best! Love the lollipop feel, but it's counterproductive when the whole phone lags.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mad_ady:
It's a bit strange - the S3 can charge through a dock while it has USB devices connected, maybe the dock uses different pins or forces the S3 driver in a different mode.

I too was thinking of getting a Y cable, but now I'm worried...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Buckycasuals:
Well one man's food is another man's poison. Well most important apps that I need don't work very well with cm12. I still loves cm11, which IMO is flash and use, no extra tweaking.

Change LMK - I've changed it many times all to no avail. I still have recurring lags with apps like Facebook, Maps, Chrome etc.

Opening apps - This is where patience comes into play. You can simply grab a cup of coffee from Starbucks because opening apps can take forever.

Boeffla - I can't imagine cm12 without his kernel. All those tweaking of LMK etc is available mainly because of his kernel. Boeffla will always be remembered in this community if he ever decides to take a bow.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] seroesh:
okay.. I use a profile from there with some tweaks of my own.. increasing the zram to 800 mb with swippiness of 90 has somewhat improved the lagginess, but it's still in testing phase!! hadn't it for you guys.. I was about to use nandroid backup to revert back..!! It's also appreciative that you guys don't ignore even the noob questions.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
no need to change any LMK value for cm12 to work properly. Just enable zram and you're good to go.

Ide like to know which apps for example don't work with cm12 properly like you were saying?

Also if you feel facebook is a bit laggy (it can be sometimes when ram is full with other apps, also happens on cm11 as well) download and install facebook lite (new official app by facebook which is much lighter than the normal app) if not available in your country download it from apkmirror.com

oh well, my phone heats up like an oven! especially when i'm playing Boom Beach and Clash of Clans.. didn't know undervolting helps with heating! Thanks a lot for passing on that info!! I was thinking of changing the phone, as in summers playing these games will become near to impossible!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
As I am not planning to include any big new developments anymore, I would not bet on it. I also did not implement F2FS for instance, too far away from standard for me.

And too much of support work and confused users with F2FS, why should that be different here.

So, rather unlikely.

Maybe a bit. But is it worth to risk stability of the phone for just 15-20 minutes more battery life?

Everyone's own choice...

But you know, CM12 is completely unofficial, considered to be alpha, many independent teams working without alignment on it?

So I think, we all should be grateful of what has been achieved by some talented devs around. But I would never count on CM12 being as stable and "bug-free" as Cm11 was. Sorry, we all use highly experimental alpha software, so no surprise it can lag for some, not for others, reboot for some, not for others etc etc.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] myshakugan:
I found zRam 300mb with 4 devices and swappiness 95 working very good on cm12. It solves ram and lag issues to a great extent, and overall improves the experience.

Setting zRam to overly high values like 700-800 on cm12 is kinda pointless imo, cause that much is never used.

Just my two cents. :)
