I just realized, I think you are in the wrong thread, or?

You are talking about S5 kernel, not S3? (or is there a KT kernel also for the s3?)

Just to go sure...

I already use Tasker with your kernels, to change the profile with either boosted sound output on headset for in my car, or reduced charging current for night. So yes, having a control to disable the LED by Tasker would be nice.

In fact, I'm talking about both, S3 and S5 kernels, I'm using Boeffla 4 on my girlfriend's i9300, and Boeffla Kernel 2.0b3 on my SM-G900F.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ok, was curious. As I do not develop new functions anymore for the S3. Kernel are in maintenance mode only meanwhile.

Of course it is different for the S5. Here I have the whole LED control topic still to be done.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sashundera:
After flashing the latest version which has SElinux changed(I Dont even know what that is for) all apps Force close. Its message after message I barely found a way to restart. Its happened before when I updated another rom, why does it happen? How can I flash the kernel now without that problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Configure the kernel to start in permissive mode.

Can be done in Boeffla Config App settings.

Usually, current up-to-date roms should not have any trouble with selinux anymore.

But also f***ing exposed is known to cause issue with selinux somtimes.

BTW - it would help at least if you give some more information about what kernel you talk, which rom etc. How are we supposed to help.

If it is CM12.1 kernel, please note there is no support for it.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
CM12.1? Do you mean CM12 or do you mean something else?

Oh and SE Linux works just fine with the latest Archi trees
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, I mean CM12.1.

My kernel version 4.x, which is for CM12.1 comes with no support by me at the moment before everything gets more mature.

My kernel version 3.x, which is for CM12 comes with basic support only.

And yes, with the Archi trees (which are my reference roms for testing and building my kernel) all is fine.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Ah I see.

I think this might be my second time asking this, but what exactly would you get if you upgrade to Linux Kernel 3.4.x?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
A different kernel base and a whole bunch of new problems.

I was always clearly against that ports, and I am still.

People that think upgrading to 3.4.x kernel from 3.0.x ever works properly or even expect some great improvements have to learn it the hard way :)

Cheers

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
To be honest I don't even know what is there in 3.4.X. As long as it doesn't effect performance in any way, who bothers lol :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, in fact it is a newer code base, newer drivers, zRam for instance replaced by vnswap, and and and... it is one or two years newer code in fact.

But the difference for Android? I barely notice it, and my OnePlus and S5 kernels are by nature 3.4.x

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I kinda cringed when I saw that phones less powerful than mine had 3.4.X. But, it's an old phone so can't complain :/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sashundera:
Sorry, I am running the latest version 9.4 from Temasek CM 12, using the latest available test kernel CM 12.0 NG. And yeah I do have xposed... :/

Can I install the boeffla config app and enable permissive mode from Safe mode?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] superchandan007:
Alpha 13 for 5.0.2 is not good...

So much battery drain them alpha 12...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I think you are quite alone with that opinion.

Or can you prove it is due to the kernel?

Battery with alpha13 did not change compared to 12 here.

Do a Betterbatterystats analysis, then we have facts.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] superchandan007:
I flashed RR 5.3.9 then flashed alpha 13...

Then i noticed.. It drains 20% battery for 25-30min...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gangplank25:
Try RR 5.4.1 and boefla kernel 4 alpha 2 instead
[Galaxy S III Android Development] superchandan007:
RR 5.4.1 has some problems and more battery drain...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Definitely not a kernel problem.

20% drain in 30 minutes can only come from an app keeping your phone on high cpu rates. Not even a buggy kernel could cause that.

What is your deep sleep rate? I am sure it is almost zero.

And as I said - Betterbatterystats is your tool to find out what is wrong.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] superchandan007:
But. Whn i flash alpha12, with same usage n same apps... Im getting good battery life... So i taught that problem is in kernel...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] XDAMaxe:
Why do you repeat yourself again and again instead of providing us with substantial information?

Especially [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] needs the desired data from bbs to help you. Be glad that he is such a caring dev, you should do what you are able to and investigate. Don't cry like a baby - this helps noone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I think I have given you enough advice. Either follow it, or leave it.

It could even have bee a bad flash, a coincidence, whatever.

Without the requested data, you will never find out.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] superchandan007:
Ok. Thank you... Sry?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] XDAMaxe:
alrighty, no problem. To sort things please install BBS from play store and let it run for some hours (set to 'partial wakelocks' i.e. - should be the most effective way) - it might be interesting for us and others what could cause such drain and then we can try to help you bust the nut. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] superchandan007:
Alpha 12

RR 5.3.9
[Galaxy S III Android Development] XDAMaxe:
here we go:

obviousely the well known whatsapp-app causes high wake locks and so the whole android system is active. Let me guess: your phone does not "deep sleep".

and maybe your cleanmaster app is too busy with cleaning all the time :p - check those settings, I guess it runs all the time... (my recommendation is: uninstall all those memory and task boost speedup turboman manager, linux/android does a good job without...)

Regarding alarm (partial) wakelocks read this.

What to do now ? Cos I don't use whatsapp I can only give you some general hints:

1. Reduce syncing rates (might be a setting within whatsapp) or disable auto sync

2. for general syncing settings use AutoSync Account Activator and enable extended settings

3. maybe greenify (works without xposed framework too) some apps, donate version lets you greenify system apps (recommended)

4. use autostart manager (Autostarts or Startup Manager) to disable apps from autostart and from running in the background

5. advanced user function: Use Disable Service or My Android Tools or System Tuner to disable services, receivers, activities and providers regarding auto syncing - but use with caution (nandroid recommended to avoid weird system behaviour)

As I can see your drain is 0,7%/h (though 2h40min is only a short evaluation period) which is not bad at all...

To make you jealous ;) and give you a motivation to reduce drain: my drain is less than 0,1%/h (no autosync at all, no push services, no location reporting - I want a phone and I want to be the only one who decides what it does)

But anyway: IT IS IN FACT NOT AND NEVER THE KERNEL !

Good luck ! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] superchandan007:
Thank you sooo much bro....

RR 5.4.1 with Boeffla 4 alpha 2 over night

0.7% battery drain.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tiz92:
Strange issue/bug

im on 0804 nightly of Blisspop with lastest boeffla 4 alpha 2 kernel and i wanted to reboot my phone. Now it says that android must optimize all my apps after reboot and after that the device is rebooting again, but instead of working it optimizes again my apps.

It is like a bootloop, but insteat of booting it optimizes the apps. Essentially i cant use my phone now.

i flashed new nightly with boeffla now.

Users without boeffla did not report such a issue.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
And any other user with Boeffla did?

I did not see anyone else so far.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tiz92:
Yes [MENTION=4732262]craP_cillA[/MENTION] did:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ok, so 2 users.

I do not get it, but I am not using nightlies.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tiz92:
I also do not get it every time. Only sometimes. So you think it is Rom related?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Could be, could be not.

As you know, I am not wasting any time with CM12.1.

But all I can say - no issues with latest weekly.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tiz92:
You dont like CM 12.1? :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I like CM12.1 very much.

Bit I do not like the CM12 / CM12.1 situation on the S3.

It is experimental, uncontrolled, many teams working in different direction - in short: it is not in control and therefore hunting for explanations is a pure waste of time.

And this is why I wrote, I will not give any support to CM12.x kernels, have really more important things to do (which are controllable).

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sevenshorseman:
After using boeffla 4 alpha 2 for about 24 hours my s3 rebooted 3 times. Mobile Data is off then and I can't switch it on with toggle it.

Must reboot to get back online.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Same here - CM12.1 kernel. Tough luck, no support.

Just out of curiousity, what rom are you using?

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] boyheadkick:
You might want to check your init.d folder...android optimization at start up is sometimes caused by a script that wipes your dalvik cache on reboot..there is a function within boeffla config app to wipe the init.d folder but use it with caution..

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I don't mean to sound heartless, but why is it only me who isn't having a single problem :/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Together with me we are already two :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ScratMan38:
So we are three...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Are these users having problems with CM12.1 specifically or some other ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] daniel.mota:
I have a few bugs with JustArchi's CM12.1, also had a couple of problems with official CM11. All rom related, I think.

Except the recent bug that happens in CM12 and CM12.1. Clicking in a desktop profile shortcut gives me a "profile does not exist" error.

It just happens after rebooting the first time after creating the shortcut. (Non paid app).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nosphor:
Actually we are three now :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I had the same issue and this is known :/

I've been using 4.0+ since 2 weeks or so and I have had 0 problems
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I think you asked that already before.

I have no answer, I never went into safe mode.

What about disabling xposed for this and then enable it again?

Just thinking loud.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sevenshorseman:
Uh it is RR 5.4.1
[Galaxy S III Android Development] khanmein:
turn on ur wifi then enable mobile data.

i don't believe other don't have bugs. the only bug irritated me is the keyboard once awhile pop out FC. depending how frequently u use the phone.

now developer not used to be like old days. i regretted should get iphone that time. i don't need rely on them cos i confirm will get update.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Can anyone help me understand the issue better?

I am currently migrating my built environment for the app from Eclipse to Android Studio. So I anyways will optimize some code.

However I don't seem to be able and replicate that here. Any step by step instructions how to enable me to have this error too? Please.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] daniel.mota:
It's simple Andi.

I have 2 profiles, default and gaming. Changing between those profiles, from inside the application, works perfectly.

I long clicked both profile names inside the app to create desktop shortcuts. Those shortcuts work perfectly until I reboot the phone.

After that first reboot, none of the two shortcuts work. Clicking in one of them makes appear a toast message that says "Profile does not exist, no settings applied."

It worked perfectly in CM11, this issue only happens in CM12 and CM12.1
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Yep, you got it right.

Sorry.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hjmodi:
NP thanx for response :) :cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, thanks. So the restart messes the shortcut up.

Hm, interesting.

Need to see if that is a cm12.1 bug, a new limitation by intention, or if cm12.1 requires changes here when hand shortcuts.

Will try to find out next week as there is anyways a change required in that area. Introduced something cosmetical long back with the update to 2.1.55 which is not supposed to be this way.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] daniel.mota:
I'm not 100% sure, but I think this bug also happened in CM12.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
This has been an issue since CM12.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ok, about the non-working homescreen shortcuts after a reboot, I have investigated this morning.

It seems, CM launcher of CM12 and higher destroy the extra data I store in the shortcut to carry the profile information after a reboot.

As there is nothing I can do about it (it seems), I implemented a workaround that tries to also read the shortcut name if the extra data is destroyed. This should workaround the issue on CM12.x

Any guinea pig want to try a test version of the app and confirm? PM me pls.

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Sure!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] senaferdy79:
You are not going to release an update for the latest cm12.1? :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Is there a need for it?

The kernel code does not change at all on the S3, and just replacing the ramdisk is only something I do if someone reports issues with the current version that are new with the new rom.

Is it like that?

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Updates now are basically an increase in version with a new Ramdisk with no new features (because Boeffla is now in maintenance mode). I hope you understood :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ng1998:
I installed your kernel bundled with the latest experimental archidroid and I realised the boeffla config app is installed as a system app when it showed me the warning. My I know what are the actual side effects? Is it important to convert it to a user app??

Yes it will work like a charm

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ansonchan:
is this boeffla same with the one in temasek site?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
:eek::what: no. Sound engine is the same.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hm. This can be quite hard, as it consists of changes to

- default.prop

- adbd executable

Why, is it causing any issues for you?

The sound engine is the same, as Temasek ported it over to this kernel. But the kernels themselves are different.

LED Brightness not working

I am using Boeffla 2.0b3 CM10.1 together with AOKP Android 4.2.2 .

When I installed boeffla my led brightness was lowered (which I think is normal because the default is 40 in boeffla-config) but I can't change the led brightness, it just doesn't do anything when I change it in Boeffla-config (v2).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GoGoris:
Ok, I'm sorry. Only the charging led works, notifications not. This seems to be an AOKP bug, so boeffla is probably ok.;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nazfalas:
I am really sorry if this question was already sufficiently answered, but I am not 100% clear on what improvements we might still see after our S3 kernel has reached EOL on kernel.org, or: what treats will be awaiting us in future versions? :P

Linux upstream doesn't make a big difference anyway, as it includes bugfixes only to stable branch. Also it's only a kernel, I don't know what you expect from it ;).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sqlpro:
few questions/comments

Hi Andi

1) i've a quick question re "system tweaks", i found following on your support page...

"

Boeffla system tweaks were recommended by me for a very long time, however Samsung did a quite good job in improving both firmwares and kernels, so nowadays I recommend to not use system tweaks anymore for daily usage.

"

my question is, yes we use Samsung phones but we use custom firmware though (in my case carbon rom) , does recommendation still apply ?

2) i've a minor complaint about the boeffla config interface,

the interface is full of sliders to change various parameters while these make it easy to use but at the same time equally very easy to mess up something accidentally too. Yes i know you can reset values if you noticed something changed accidentally but what if you didn't notice the change ? The other day i accidentally changed LED brightness to 0 and was scratching my head why LED didn't work !!

Why not bring those tabs on top to bottom ? this gives a hand resting place and easy to navigate between the sections without accidentally changing any values. I know there is a setting to disable swiping between pages but still doesn't prevent accidental changes.

BTW you've great kernel, first time in 2 years (since i bought my S3) a single charge gave me , 2 days of standby with 4 hrs screenon time! one can only dream something like this with stock touchwiz. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nazfalas:
Well, just that: bug fixes. There have been many optimizations/fixes relating to memory utilization judging from the last dozen or so release notes. How many of those concern our specific platform I do not know, but I remember several developers (like Googy) mentioning those in their threads.

What do I expect from a kernel? :D Optimization concerning memory usage and CPU utilization. Maybe improved networking...you know, the low level workings.

Just asking what the nature of future updates will be (backporting features? bugfixes from other sources? idk, that's why I'm asking)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] striked0wn:
Future versions will may have reverted features (if they are useless/buggy or causing problems).. Bugfixes from other sources (if they are useful).. Implemented user requests (if useful).. Or some new improvements or features from andi of course.. :).. (Linux upstream isn't very important.. Afaik every custom kernel is upstreamed.. And the differences in custom kernels are the features.. Performance.. Battery life.. And other improvements).. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cheese458:
Will this kernel work with slim rom stable 4.3.1?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
It should.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Aha, this is interesting. I always keep on telling everyone to install as user app only (hence the warning).

It is quite simple: The app will not work reliably, nor will it ever update correctly.

I urgently request to deinstall it and download and install latest version as usual as user app.
