I have a feature suggestion for BC app: when opening, if it doesn't find a BoefflaKernel installed it should should prompt the user to download and flash one (show the existing activity). It is helpful when reflashing a rom. Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
Or u just flash the kernel .zip file after u have flashed the new ROM. The app downloads and save the last kernel it flashed so u always have it and can reflash it at any time.

Good morning!

I would love to tell you, but I haven't tried myself so far. So I cannot answer for sure.

Can you give me the link to the AOKP rom you plan to install? Then I could help you most probably.

Thanks for the feedback.

Number of zRam devices configurable: A clear MAYBE. I have at least prepared the kernel to support 1, 2 or 4 devices. So I can make it configurable in the app one day. But first I want to feel myself if there is any good in having this split at all. I am waiting for the hardcore gamers when I release this in the next Sammy kernel beta to be checked.

Swappiness in App: I think this is something I will tackle next. There is a simple reason why this is not yet in:

swappiness in my kernel/app combo is influenced by: zRam status and system tweaks. So I need to find a proper way to not conflict with this. I still have the target to make everything quite simple for the not-so-experienced users. So I want to keep stuff like automatic adjustmen of swappiness when you switch zRam on etc. However, I have an idea to implement an "expert" function here. Means, you can choose to overwrite the automatic setting and then you are responsable yourself for the swappiness. Lets see when I can put that in.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yank555:
That's not how it works, a thread won't keep a core online ;)

You can have 4 swap threads while only 1 core is online. You have way more than 4 things running at the same time anyway, but no more than 4 cores.

Open a terminal and type 'su' then 'ps', you'll see what's going on, and that's processes, not threads.

4 cores only means that 4 things can

really

be done at the same time, as opposed to preemptive multitasking, which in fact does nothing but switching from one task to the next based on rules (time slices for example), giving you the impression stuff is done at the same time, when in fact at a given moment only 1 thing is being done, that's the multitasking as you've known it at times where your PC had only one CPU (core).

And you have 10s / 100s of threads being handled by whatever the number of online cores.

As I already wrote in Temasek's thread...

If the governors takes 3 cores down, you will have the 4 swap threads run on one core, doing thread switching overhead compared to a single thread swap, thus being less well performing as single threaded swap (but hardly measurable).

Hence, since mostly the system runs on 1 or maybe 2 cores, I don't see any point in multiple swap threads, since we invested a lot of effort to keep cores off...

Btw, you can only use 2 of the 4 devices, the 2 uninitialized won't hurt, just make a script that only initializes zram0 and zram1.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
The theorie is completely right.

However, I have been told by heavy gamers, they have better performance and less lags with this multiple zRam devices approach.

Which is explainable as well, as during heavy games all cores are always on anyways.

So, I think it does not hurt to spread it across multiple devices as well. Time and users will tell :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STAticKY:
Thanks.

I was under the impression that each device was assigned affinity to a certain core.

So sometimes the multiple devices will be using separate cores but on other times itl be using just one, depending on load and when the swap is accessed in relation to load?

I confuse myself a lot lmao :D

TP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yank555:
Absolutely correct, threads are spread across the cores that are willing to take them (hence the online ones ;)).

And as Andi very correctly put it, it might be better under heavy load, as then all cores will likely be online.

But I must admit that that absolutely doesn't fit my usage pattern, so it's not my way of analysing this. I'm also rather confident, that zram (or any kind of swap) won't be beneficial to heavy games, I think those will most likely run best without swap, but that's just a supposition.

JP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STAticKY:
Hence my thinking 2 devices would be a good compromise :)

TP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperAce609:
I'm using this one. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2178228

Milestone 2 isn't on the thread, it's on their website. I hope you give the been light for flashing. I'm having problems with the LED, which is my only complaint.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yank555:
Worth a try ;)

And as I said, there's no need for any change in the kernel for that, just swapoff everything (zram0-3), reset them all (to free resources), initialize zram0-1, swapon zram0-1 and you can give it a testride.

In fact, the devices, while unused, use almost nothing in RAM, should be a few bytes.

So it's easiest to keep the 4 devices in the kernel, and use 1, 2, 3 or 4 zram devices for swap as you please ;)

JP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STAticKY:
Hmmm. I can't seem to get unstable power and ignore margin to stick. They keep setting themselves back to off

TP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
That is exactly how I set it up.

I have 4 devices, and currently in the new kernel all 4 devices will be utilized.

However, I have the options also to use only 1 or 2 devices instead.

The kernel scripts do already support it.

I am just reluctant to extend the app for it before I know more about how the split in fact behaves for the users :)

Weird, I just tried on both Sammy and CM kernels and both times it stack.

When do they reset, when you reboot or when you re-enter the app?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hm, had no time to try out myself today, as I bricked my Android TV stick this morning and had to unbrick it first, which took me many hours. Now I am severely delayed for today :(

But why dont you:

- do a Nandroid backup

- flash the cm10.1 boeffla kernel

- see what happens

- in worst case, restore the nandroid back

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STAticKY:
Seems that's its getting reset when I plug my charger in. Nothing else is doing it.

About zram, would you mind whipping me up a quick init.d script to disable, flush and then re-enable only 2 devices for me to test?

Thanks

TP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Cool stuff, that was it, I can replicate that. weird, but now I can search for the issue.

init.d script... as soon as I have some time to breath, ok?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STAticKY:
Yea no problem. Thanks for the help

Sd readaheads are always the same.. Can't set them different.. Or.. Can set.. But after a while.. The values are the same..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, then "someone" else resets the values.

Please check if you have other apps that are able to change these values.

Also check in CM itself, under settings -> performance, you have no conflicting settings (not for this one of course, but for others like Governor, scheduler etc.)

Sorry, there is no way this is reset by Boeffla-Config "after a while" as the app does not run in the background at all.

1.0-beta1 available

Hi all,

finally I updated the OP and uploaded the kernels.

So, 1.0-beta1 are available for CM10.2 and CM10.1 for everyone.

Please note: CM10.2 is only tested by me with CM nightlies, same goes for CM10.1.

Support from my side at least will for the start only be for these combinations.

Cheers

I use official cm10.2 + Boeffla kernel beta 7 and there is no lag at all when I pull the notification drawer so it must be a rom problem (try to reinstal the rom with a wipe).

In Philz you can configure this to disabled at least.

Yes, nice idea, some had it already before.

The flash function resides in my kernel, si without kernel no flash. Henn and egg problem.

I would need to move tge flash stuff into the app for this, but then it is device specific and not universal anymore. That's why I am a bit reluctant.

Dear Andi,

Have you considered altering BC behavior when proper kernel is not detected. Now the app shuts down with a notice. Wouldn't be nice to have an option to DL and flash your kernel from the app in such scenario?

Thx for great work!
