Hello just a quick question. Does this kernel have a problem displaying video in YouTube (only audio works)? I am not sure if what causing it is the ROM I am using or kernel.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Come on... WHICH kernel? CM12, CM11, Omnirom, NG, or not NG...?

We need beef !!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Chief_Death:
Sorry.

CM12 NG.

The ROM I am using is SlimLP.

Thanks.

[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION], does the i9300 support IR? I can see a tiny hole on the top of the device. Is that just microphone or is it an IR port?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nicesoni_ash:
No, it doesn't. It's just a microphone.

I am using latest CM12 NG with latest CM12 by JustArchi for I9300 for some time now. Everything is working perfect except there are some annoyances related to memory management. (I use Greenify but I did not greenify mentioned apps bellow)

1. If I am doing something (for example browsing reddit with Reddit news, or using Chrome) and listening to music in background (I use PlayerPro) the PlayerPro is constantly getting killed and music stops (at least one time in 5 mins) on Kitkat there were no such problems. (Really why android thinks its best to kill Music player when on low memory? really aren't there any other less important things running in background? )

2. On rare occasions in same scenario my main activity (Reddit or Chrome) is killed and closed. Music continues.

3. Again on rare occasions both are killed. Main activity and background music player.

4. Google launcher is constantly getting killed. And by constantly I really mean it. Using almost any app and then exiting it brings blank screen and waiting for launcher to reload. It's annoying because you have to wait up to 4-5 seconds for homescreens to reload. (On kitkat this was less frequent and also reloaded back more quickly)

Now my question is if this is caused by kernel or by rom? And is there any to fix it? Is this somehow related to LMK settings? (I didn't change anything related to memory managment in Boeffla config)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] mNiosu:
Which version can I use for latest SlimKat based on 4.4.4 ?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, out of my personal experience I found 4 devices working better than 1 or 2.

But honestly, I did not use zRam for more than a year anymore. I just do not need it, have no such memory-hungry apps.

I think everyone should be allowed to state his facts and opinions. So I appreciate the input.

However, my thoughts on that are:

- No coding error, I am sure.

- it seems. Arter kernel runs better for you, this is just fine, so you should consider switching

- I will not put further bigger code changes into the CM12 kernel now, no other code base etc. Reasons were explained many times by me... (CM12 official vs. unofficial)

- I personally with my usage pattern face no glitches anymore, so I am my own happy user - this is most important for me

Just to explain for all that started a hard discussion before about that topic:

I have no advantages of users using my kernel instead of a different one. It is rather vice versa, I have more work when I have more users (support, feature requests etc.). So I am not sad or somehow pissed if users go and use other kernels. That would be just "childish" :)

And yes, I admit: My quality check criteria is mainly my own usage. If I am happy, I do not see much reason to change things. Sorry for being very egoistic here, but this approach served me fine for years now.

It is 100% a rom thing, so I do not know why you get it.

I can just confirm, it does not come from the kernel.

Maybe it even goes away after a reboot.

Yes, exactly my words. I never use benchmarks.

Just sometimes to confirm I did not introduce any bad code that would decrease performance really significantly. But in general they are all very inaccurate (for many reasons when one understands how Android works by concept).

I would say, latest Omnirom stable version.

Clash of clans is quite a resource heavy app. I have it installed as well and it indeed lags every now and then. I think it is a matter of tuning the governor. there are some specially made gaming profiles available as well.

Well, could not find out within a few minutes what the basis of this rom really is.

I would try Boeffla Omnirom kernel 2.5 stable once, NG or non-NG does not matter.

If it is touchwiz based, you could also try Sammy Boeffla-Kernel 7.2.

But probably this rom is not compatible to anything around.

Best is you ask the devs directly what it bases on?

Boeffla-kernel-data folder and USB file copy

Strange problem, and the only one I've found - SlimKat 9 stable - trying to copy to PC over USB suddenly started to produce an unknown error while copying from internal SD card. I tracked it down to a log file in the boeffla-kernel-data folder (created by the config app). Deleting the folder from the internal SD first let the file copy work normally. I don't know why one file like that could break a simple file copy process. Has anyone else come across this ? Other than that I love the kernel - great work Andi !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, this is highly suspicious. And I could not explain any relationship to this file and a broken copy process at all.

I suspect coincidence, so keep on monitoring it please, I am rather sure it was a one off issue.

Hello Andi,

do you have any slight idea about what can cause the screen delay bug during incoming calls? Is it a CM12 bug, kernel related ...? I guess it's a CM bug because it also appears on a Moto G CM12 rom wich doesn't have your kernel as an option ;)

Thx in advance

Mika
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I use the original ramdisk. So this can be ruled out. But ok, I am not using latest ramdisk of beta8, so that might still be an option.

Honestly, I could not think about anything in the kernel that could break that.

However, I also never tried it (have no usage for it?).

This is a topic since CM11, not only CM12. But CM12 seems to be more heavily impacted.

If you read up, there were a few suggestions how to improve. I never use my phone for phoning, so I never had an issue with it.

Also it depends heavily on governor you use, I also write some comments in this thread on it.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mika83AC:
okay, i'll crawl through your thread and try finding what's suggested, thx :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mad_ady:
I have a somewhat offtopic question, but I think it may be kernel related...

I was wondering where is the internal NAND partitioning scheme (number of partitions, start offsets and sizes) actually stored? Is it part of the kernel configuration or is it stored somewhere on the NAND itself (like an old school MBR)?

I'm guessing the bootloader should know about it so that it can boot the regular kernel or the recovery, but in this case is it sent as a boot option to the kernel? Is there some sort of standard?

Where can I learn more about this? And sorry for the offtopic...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Yes, that's it. And I use lulzactiveQ tuned for performance + deadline I/O, and sometimes the call screen comes up instantly, and others don't :(

Anyway I can live with it, AD 3.0 (CM11) is the best rom up today for the S3.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] donalgodon:
I hope you don't decide to drop the option, however. I think having the option to undervolt is nice, though I only use it sparingly myself.

Before dropping it entirely, maybe just limit the amount?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mrbojangle69:
So in your opinion it is better to use governor and profile settings than undervolting, I am asking about these things because I am an AOSP roms lover but the battery drain is higher that with the stock roms. I don't intend to have the same battery life in CM that I have with stock roms and kernels, all I want is a little more charge duration. Any suggestion?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, that was not what I said. I usually do not remove any functionality that was in once. Even if I do not use it myself anymore. That would not be fair :)

But it is rather unlikely to add bus undervolting on top. I think the savings are close to nothing and not worth the work (I would need to start from scratch, all implementations of it I have seen so far done by others did not work, if you have a working one - let me know to check it pls).

In my opinion, you can save much more by using tweaked governors (profiles) and reducing GPU frequencies if not gaming. Maybe even underclocking CPU a bit.

As I said - yes, for sure it will :)

Hey Andi, it was my fault really. Phone is now charging a-ok. Thanks for the attention.

Hey, I've been wondering if that's possible: I've just bought my first Tablet (Nexus 7 FHD), and it's Wi-Fi only. As, unfortunately, not many places with free Wi-Fi for people to enjoy, I end up having to use the Wi-Fi AP from my S III. It works fine, but it drains too much battery, unable to even reaching the middle of the day. Could the power of the AP feature be lowered to save battery? It has a hefty wireless range, and I won't mind reducing its range to about 1~2 meters, as the phone is always on my pocket and the tablet around me, it wouldn't be a issue.

I've searched around but didn't find anything relevant.As you deal with kernel and low level stuff, I thought you might know.

Thanks.

2.0-beta3

Hi all,

mainly a maintenance update, but did not want to wait for longer (both CM10.1 and CM10.2):

Version 2.0-beta3

Change log vs. last beta:

Upstream to 3.0.101 Linux kernel from 22.10.13 (which marks the end of Linux updates for this kernel)

Emergency reset CWM script (boeffla-config-reset-v2.zip) is now placed into /boeffla-kernel-data folder by the kernel automatically, so you never have to realize you did not download it in case you need it urgently :)

Generic framework "framework-2.jar" introduced (teamed up with Yank555, Googy, Teufel, Psndna, Temasek), this is to get rid of proprietory framework naming conventions and come up with an aligned approach between rom and kernel devs.

For now, specific frameworks for Pac Man, JellyBam and Fusion remain added, but for a grace period only. Those will be removed with the first update after November 10th.

So please do pass this message along to your favorite ROM devs, we will stop supporting additional frameworks with specific ROM names.

Enjoy
