[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION], if it's not too much, could you send me a copy of zImage for the Alpha 12? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Let me know after you downloaded it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sanguinesaintly:
**deleted**
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Done :) the reason I asked is because Alpha 11+ seems to break WiFi on Euphoria. Anyway, thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fonfox:
Also i think its safe to integrate both options. Users can switch if needed

GT-I9300 CM 12
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Jupp, Euphoria is then not compatible to unofficial CM12 by JustArchi/Moster.

And I tell you, it will even get worse as I do not know how good the other roms support SELinux set to enforcing, if at all.

Again I have to say... I hate this CM12 situation on the S3.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] boyheadkick:
i had that happen to me on CRDroid too
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sanguinesaintly:
Didn't spot that - I've now found it in the config folder but not on the external SD. Thanks !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Then during the first time Boeffla Kernel booted up, probably you did not have an external SD card inserted.

The logic looks if there is a backup on the internal sd memory in folder boeffla-kernel-data. If not, a fresh efs backup will done and stored there (and on the external card if it exists).

Once a backup is done, no further backups are taken to not overwrite a working backup with a destroyed EFS partition backup.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Can't help it now can we?

Anyway, my Euphoria is based on CM12 trees and kernels, just not the latest ones because they caused problems. I will have to do a lot of work once I get back :/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] straylight23:
I had no luck with version 11 of this kernel an the only publicly available CM12.1 build.

Constant system crashes and reboots right after startup. For me it was unusable.

YMMV...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yep, not supposed to be compatible (yet).

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
You could try the anykernel method till this is fixed :)

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

Looks like Alpha 12 AnyKernel will have to wait, I don't have the patches and other required files (can't get em because my PC is grounded). Sorry guys :/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] straylight23:
Hi Andi,

no worries. I just tried after [MENTION=5231921]Gokulbalram[/MENTION] postet something which i interpreted as "CM12.1 + Boeffla kernel = works". Maybe i misunderstood it, but as some other user was asking whether this combo works, i just thought I'd share my experience to clarify ;)

Schönen Tag noch,

Tom
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
If only requires an aditional reboot to change to permisive (I use xposed), there is no problem for me.

ps.: still I don't know what is the difference between this modes... :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZaneZam:
In very easy words:

Permissive = just log and do nothing else

Enforcing = restict/block access = some problems here and there :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I was using a modified version of Boeffla's kernel. It's in my signature
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fonfox:
Alpha 12 runs with temasek v8.8

GT-I9300 CM 12
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Umm [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION], the Alpha 12 zImage doesn't do anything :/ I tried flashing it (via the any kernel method) and it would show the kernel name of the previous kernel. Did you change something? :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, all fine here with my zImage.

Then extract the zImage from the boot.img of my official kernel, then you can be 100% sure it is the right one.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I did that too, weirdly enough, something's wrong. Something's fishy :/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Only you can find out unfortunately.

The official kernel is there and works fine and shows proper version information.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I'm really sorry! It wasn't your fault! I repacked with another zip manager and it seemed to work (also deleted init.superuser.rc) Once again, I apologize!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hehe... no worries.

I do not want to sound snobbish, but it was very clear to me it was not mine but your fault.

When all is fine here (and I have for years a fully automated build process which does not likely fail), it must be on your side.

Glad you figured it out :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Hehe, you're not the noob here :P

Anyway, I wanted to know, where exactly is SELinux? Is it in the system, the kernel (ramdisk or zImage)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
SELinux is a security layer that sits in the kernel.

When it operates in Enforcing mode, it does not allow access to resources for processes that have no authorisation for it.

In permissive mode, it allows it but the attempt gets logged in the kernel log.

So, my kernel still boots up in permissive mode first to do the proper initialisation (applying Boeffla-Settings etc.) and straigt afterwards switches to SELinux strict.

And if you configure in Boeffla-Config to always use permissive mode, the switch will not be active and the kernel and system remain in permissive mode.

The switch is done in the ramdisk, but the actual SELinux implementation is of course in the kernels zImage.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
No wonder lol, I tried to switch and it just hung. I will need to implement the latest SELinux stuff now. Thanks for the explanation!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, that does not make sense. If you do not change anything in the ramdisk (not have the switch in), it will just stay on permissive.

If you try to switch to enforced and then have a hang, then you exactly hit the reason why I am NOT doing anykernel: Then your ramdisk which you used as the basis does not have all the SELinux modifications in. I know JustArchi and Moster are very busy in putting everything in correctly, which is a pain in the a... job.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I guessed :P I guess it's about time all ROMs implement SE Linux. I'll be sure to implement it in PA and Euphoria. Anyway, kernel's all good!

I noticed how the OP doesn't have links to the CM12 kernel change log.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I see them?? ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
That was fast :P I've always wanted to ask, why do you spell it as "Klick"?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MTsCetin:
He is a German, KDE guy maybe? :D

BTW Boeffla Kernel CM12 NG Alpha 12 works like a charm on Temasek's CM 12 V8.8 :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yep, I am German. True. And I love the "Klick here" thingys :)

Thanks... so by far less issues as I expected with SELinux on enforcing. Good good.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] boyheadkick:
Flashed Alpha12, unchecked SELinux strict, reboot, aaaand boom, still strict..lol..i tried 2x to be sure, same result..anything i should be doing other than just unchecking the checkbox on SELinux strict before rebooting Andi?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] kadopt:
In boeffla config open settings, go to "kernel startup actions" and enable "startup with selinux permissive". Reboot your device.

If you'd read the change log for alpha 12 you'd know this.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION], do you have any idea as why Alpha 12 broke WiFi in some ROMs?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I have even explicitly explained in the change log.

No. The ramdisk comes from the unofficial cm12 roms. And with alpha11 wifi already broke for some. I suspect some binary changes.

Seems it is more important than ever to have a matching rom.

As I said, I really hate this cm12 situation in the s3 world having no maintainer in control of it.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] khanmein:
boeffla, do i need to reset ALMK? i accidentally reset become 72, 90, 108, 126, 144, 180
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Doppiadi:
Andy I don't know if my mind is tricking me but I'm pretty sure I installed recoveries trough boeffla config app, but I can't find the option now, humm
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
These are the LMK default settings in latest weekly 9 ramdisk. When you press reset you get them just again.

Ni, you are right. I silently removed that when using cm roms as basis.

I had two times a soft brick after such a flash, so I thought I better remove it.

Was waiting for someone to spot it already [emoji6]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Doppiadi:
Oh well, at least my brain still operates correctly :) Even if I don't chance recovery that often, it was a cool feature nonetheless.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
What's the prize? :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
A virtual kiss (knowing nobody wants that really. Hehe [emoji14])
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
That was such a random prize ._.

Anyway, note for AnyKernel users: I've found Boeffla AnyKernel Alpha12 somewhat unstable compared to Alpha 10 (both normal and AnyKernel). Once again, I'm talking about ANYKERNEL, not the normal Boeffla kernel. Use at your own curiosity
[Galaxy S III Android Development] whatsgood:
Could you elaborate on the please? Unstable in what sense? I might flash alpha12 anykernel so I want to know what to look out for.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Just my 5 pence... zImage between alpha10 and 12 are 99,999999 same. Only a minor change in touch key driver.

No way it can be more or less stable.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I meant, apps would hang, followed by a hard reboot. This didn't happen with Alpha 10. Anywya, if you're using CM12.1, you can go ahead and flash Alpha 12 AnyKernel
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Akatoikitos:
Sorry for the noobish question but it is not clear to me if we can use alpha12_CM12.0NG on cm12.1.

Can we?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Maybe you should create an own unofficial anykernel thread for that, Gokulbalram?

It is getting confusing a bit...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
As said, zimage is almost 100% the same.

But well ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Sure :P didn't mean to cause trouble.

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

Well, I'm not blaming you lol
[Galaxy S III Android Development] whatsgood:
Hey man, I've tested out alpha12 AnyKernel on a few roms (AD 3.1, Nameless Rom, CM12.1 experimental) and it's like you said, a bit unstable. Trying to change GPU or CPU voltages in the config app causes a force close. LMK values can't be reset to stock. My profile got reset when rebooting the device. Generally strange behaviour.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, you are not causing trouble. I am just losing a bit overview when people talk about different versions in the same thread, so though would be better and more logical.

how u flash the new kernel? mine after flashing throught the apps have no signal and apps crashing
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION], I tried UVing and the Config app just FCed. Here's the crashlog
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Your ramdisk is still broken somehow. The app works with the ramdisk and if this is not ok, the app cannot work properly.

It cannot read the non-touched voltages in this case, so it crashes.

I am more and more coming to the conclusion my decision never do anykernel method was correct.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I'm not sure what non-touched voltages means. Oh, and this is the CM kernel :/ (CM12.1 experinental to be precise
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
It means my modified ramdisk stores the original voltages first before applying the new ones. To cover for multiple avs levels.

But seems somehow this is not running fine with your version. It is done in boeffla-init.sh.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Thanks for the info :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nosphor:
I just installed the last revolution remix ROM with the Alpha 12 Cm12 NG kernel, but everytime i try to open the boeffla config app, i keep have this pop-up.

How can i solve this ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fonfox:
I flashed the kernel with "Boeffla App" there is no problem
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sheng0729:
mine showing gapps not working, when i flash through the app
[Galaxy S III Android Development] straylight23:
Install updated config app.. Your version is not compatible with latest kernel (selinux mode).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
As said, you are using a super old app version. That's all.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Flash via app does the same than the recovery does.

And I do that many times and never had a gapps issue.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nosphor:
Thanks for your reply, i just rolled back to alpha 9 and update the app, and flash again alpha 12 and now it's working :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] traduz:
Love your work man, you are a beast! ;)

Can I suggest something for your website? The download link on the first post is: http://www.boeffla-kernel.de

You could change the section with Galaxy S3 title to have an id

<span style="font-size: medium;" id="galaxys3">Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300)</span>

And then change the download link to be:

http://www.boeffla-kernel.de/#galaxys3

Just a simple change but would make it better to find yourself on the website.

cm12 NG - alpha 11

Hi Andi,

sorry if this has been posted already.

I flashed alpha 11 NG on top of a couple of CM12 based roms and I has a strange behaviour; when I turn wifi on, it's always scanning but does not find any network.

I tried to flash back alpha 7 and problem was gone. hopefully it's only my case.

cheers!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I was thinking about that for a while, but I am already more in favour of creating separate menu entries for specific devices.

So we have a menu download with sub menus

- OnePlus One

- Galaxy S5

- Galaxy S3

- Tab 10.1 n80xx

- Tab n50xx

It has been posted and answered already many times.

Alpha12 is supposed to work with weekly 9 of JustArchi/Moster unofficial CM12.

Alpha11 works with the version before.

And so on.

CM12 development out there is a big mess. So if alpha7 works for you, enjoy it. The roms and the kernels are not compatible anymore to each other.

And I do not expect this to get better.

Hence, I selected the mentioned unofficial CM12 rom as my reference which I test against. If other roms work - fine. If not - tough luck.

try another charger. or try "galaxy charging curent" app to see how much curent is out from the charger.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] enigma1981:
That app won't be very accurate, all it can do is guess how much current it's being received according to voltage changes. The trouble is, there are no actual current measuring sensors on the S3 unfortunately so none of those apps will be particularly good for us :(

The kernel flashes fine on OmniRom but i lose root access.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi Lord,

thanks for reporting. Omnirom is not officially supported, so might very well be.

Maybe after this project evolves a bit more over the time I will give it a try and find out.

Although it is weird, the kernel should steal root. Does not really make sense to me (based on theory)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Dark_Lord0122:
Yeah, i just thought i would report it :).

In 26/10 nightly of cm10.2 the advanced display option is back where you can chance the mDNIe settings. Just to let you know...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Yes, and it's not a problem because you can keep mdnie overwrite in boeffla kernel set to "off". Or you can overwrtie rom's mdnie with that. It's good to has such option, especially if it's already implemented.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] FlemishDroid:
Yeah I know. :thumbup:

Latest nightly is really slow and sometimes the screen freezes but I think it's a cm problem cause some users also report a memory leak on 26/10 nightly and Boeffla kernel works great on previous nightly's. FYI

Hi Andi, when I use the TWRP backup from the config-app TWRP starts but the backup not. I'm using CM11 Temasek on a SGS3 I9300 with your 2.7 stable kernel. Do I have to configure something to make it work?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Most likely you have not entered TWRP first to select where the backup should be done to (whether on internal or external sd memory).

The app only tells TWRP to do a backup, but where is determined by TWRP itself.

On top, you have 2.8.5.0 installed? I have not tested with any other version.

And if that does not help you further: TWRP displays a log when it starts. Somewhere there must be a message indicating why it does not do anything...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
Little off-topic warning for all of you people - do not flash latest TWRP 2.8.6.0. It will screw up your EFS partition, though it's still available for download.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] daniel.mota:
Finally I had some free time last weekend, and decided to give it a try to CM12 (JustArchi's weekly 9 with Boefflas's alpha12 kernel).

All is running very smooth, the rom is stable enough for a daily use (although I haven't yet tried all the features), but one thing bugs and bothers me:

My favourite game "Real Racing 3" crashes a lot. Sometimes it happens in the middle of a race (heavy cpu load), sometimes just while browsing the game menus (low cpu load).

I tried several Boeffla App configurations. Tried several cpu governors, tried lowering the LMK values, tried overvolting, tried with and without zram, you name it... Using the kernel default configuration also didn't help...

The fact is that with the default CM12 kernel the game never crashes and runs smoothly.

[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION], I know your kernels aren't made for gaming. But something in your kernel is in fact causing these crashes, so I kindly ask if you have any idea what could be causing this...

Thanks.

Now that LP 5.1 is implemented in RR I badly miss your kernel?.

When did you planned to release it for 5.1?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Uhh, I guess Alpha 12 should work. If not Alpha 12, at least Alpha 10
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sevenshorseman:
With Alpha 12 i got bootloop.

So you are sure that previous build will work?

---------- Post added at 04:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 AM ----------

I checked what you said (even if I doubt how it should work) and I was right.

No Boeffla kernel build is running with 5.1 for now. I tried from Alpha 10 - Alpha 12 and I got bootloop after Android updates apps with every build.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nosphor:
You're not the only one who wait for the 5.1 compatibily, i just update to 5.1 RR too :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Then I guess your choice is to stick to CM12 default kernel.

I have no idea and I really do not care much about gaming issues, which you already saw in the OP.

But it is no surprise at all: CM12 is unofficial and therefore experimental. Kernels for CM12 are as experimental as the roms. So it is quite certain issues are there. And this is exactly the reason why I call the kernel alphas only, and never betas.

However, if you want to find out why something FC you need to activate Android Logger and dump a logcat after the FC. Maybe there is some indication in the logcat which points to the specific issue. Without a logcat nobody can say anything.

You are not seriously breaking XDA rules now and asking for an ETA ???? :cyclops:

No Boeffla-Kernel does currently work on CM12.1 / Android 5.1.

No need to even try it.

I have a version in the pipeline but when I decide to release it, I will only release with no support.

I am quite fed up with running experimental roms and experimental kernels which will causes many issues by nature. Giving support is a waste of time.
