Great surprize for today ...

Thanks andi [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106]

Glad to know that s3 still on your heart [emoji8]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I still have my devices, and I still work for them from time to time when it is worth it.

But officially, the kernels are EOL. This is not changed :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tokict:
Yeah, i know it.

But, (at least) you still give us an update for better combination with latest ROM released. It's better than nothing.

Again

Thanks for all your support Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] The_Voice_70:
Thanks for Updates, Andi. Both (CM12.1 and CM11) "rocks the house" ;) I think : THIS IS NOT THE LAST "FINAL" ;))) CM loves 11 ... and we hope the party goes on ..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I sincerely "hope", it will be over one day.

But till then, I do not mind to start a quick compile from time to time again.

Point is, we might get official support.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sanguinesaintly:
I don't see anything there that confirms that idea. Maybe they've just renamed the CM12 branch since there are changes going back years there.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Actually, I even remember arter confirming official support for the i9300 so dunno

Also if nobody steps up, we could do something about it ;)

I got similar problem... My S3 gets stuck reboot in Galaxy logo if i undervolt tge cpu with less than the stock voltage, even by -1mV it can get stuck... And its not at the rom bootlogo, but samsung galaxy logo. I just quit trying it, if i want more battery i just cap the cpu to 200mhz and i get 6h screen on.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fonfox:
Under volting works with the new app as on old fine. There are no Problem with S3. But remember undervolting is always luck.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Problem confirmed, I can replicate it. Will check it out and fix.

BTW if you change it and reboot, it will be applied. But the on-the-fly apply is broken, yes.

I understand your problem, but undervolting is a game. It works for some, but not for everyone. This is why I refuse to give support when people use it.

Just for educational purpose:

Voltages are set well after the boot process completed. This means, when your phone gets stuck, the kernel is not even active and undervolting or not is not even a question.

But as said - I suspect any kinds of side effects due to undervolting, I would just not do it. For battery is helps only marginal, not worth the hassle and potential instabilities.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Roger that , Thanks Andi :)

Can we expect this great kernel on CM13? Love this kernel and been using it for more than a year on my long living S3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Not yet finally decided.

First cm13 needs to be official.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Hello Andi, CM13 for our beloved S3 is progressing at an incredible pace, I've just tested and it's fantastically smooth.

Will you consider to do a MM version of your unique kernel ??, please !! :fingers-crossed::D

ps.: just read your previous post...

ps.2: maybe I'm wrong, but I've heard that MM has an official CM maintainer for the S3 now...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tokict:
So....

lets pray official build will come

Then we will get support from the greatest kernel developers ever on s3 i9300.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] matt1966:
I just tried to update/flash the latest TWRP 2.8.7.3 (img file) with the latest Boeffla Config App.

Looks like the process is starting and flashing with rebooting the phone but at the end I still have previous TWRP version 2.8.6.1

At least that's what the Boeffla Config App and TWRP Manager App is displaying.

Tried twice with the same results.

Upade:

Reboot into TWRP Recovery display Version 2.8.7.0

I know it won't display the correct Version 2.8.7.3

After rebooting from Recovery Boeffla Config App is now also displaying Version 2.8.7.0

So everything works.

Never mind this post.

Was a bit confusing at first sight.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi.

Yes, recovery needs to be used once before any other app (incl. Boeffla-Config) can read the new version number.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kiszonyogor95:
Of course ;D

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ianarellano:
Which one? cm 10.2 stable? Sorry I'm new to cm.. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mpq1671:
Thanks for your reply. I'm currently on ArchiDroid 2.2.3 ROM (default kernel/config/tweaks provided by archi in aroma installer), which is based on CM10.2, so according to the info in the link i've posted, it has been fixed already, unfortunately it still bothers me. Somebody on the net said, that it is caused by an incomplete MAC adress initiation.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No.

You need to use latest beta version.

CM introduced changes by 22.10. which does prevent all kernels built before to cause boot loops.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
All I can say is: Never had issues with wireless on CM10.2 nightlies, ArchiDroid, Carbon, Slim rom, Fusion rom and AOKP.

Make sure you flash the kernel in CWM recovery once, to ensure the modules are getting installed.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mpq1671:
It affects my phone on every rom, but stock one. Some people got exactly same problem but it's rather rare. Got to use that fix with slim rom, etc ;/ Only thing I haven't tried is a different bootloader, if that not the prob, it seems to be hardware related .
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ianarellano:
Thanks lord boeffla.. So its cm 10.2 ver. 2.0 beta 3?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, and soon even 2.0-beta4... maybe today or during the weekend.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ianarellano:
Awesome! Then I'll just wait for the new beta. Thanks!

Install the kernel again via CWM, should work then.

Anyways would suggest you step up to version 2.0-beta3 and the new config App V2 !

Cheers

[Galaxy S III Android Development] aditya666:
I flashed stable 1.0 over beta 3 via CWM, then re-booted. After the boot logo I got the message "Android is upgrading.. 1/180 apps" something like that. After completion of that the system started force closing. I had to take out the battery to shut down the phone. Now when I turn on the phone, I gets into infinite boot loop. What could be the problem? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes. Stated in the op.

Flash latest beta.

OK tried this. But also no luck :( Same with 2.0-beta3. I did a wipe cache installed cm10.1.3 new flash than. But no luck.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
If someone is able to compile a kernel from scratch and knows ansi-c, it is very clear how to do that.

One needs to use the correct base repo and apply my patches from my repo (of course you have to understand them as there will be conflicts).

Pretty much it is like that for 80%. Rest is code adjustments and tuning.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Which patches though?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, all the patches that run under my name in my repo = adding the Boeffla functionality to the kernel.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sunny1234590:
Please, make the kernel for CM13 build also! We need it. I know many have said this but please, think about it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

I just state my opinion again:

If CM13 gets in any way official, I might look at it when it runs flawlessly.

If it remains unofficial, I will not put time and efforts in it.

I stopped working on unofficial stuff as my spare available time gets already fully consumed by the official things.

Thanks for understanding

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sunny1234590:
Well, I respect your decision :) hope to see your Kernel on the official CM13 ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] anupritaisno1:
Well, there is an issue where random touches register all over the screen while charging

This is in the oneplus 2

Going back to the stock kernel fixed it.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] anupritaisno1:

Nobody ever reported something like that.

Reset your charge settings to defaults.

And next time please use correct thread.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] sunny1234590:
[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] can I manually insert files into kernel folder to get features such as 'ignore unstable margin' and 'unstable power' in stock kernel. I know it's a lame question but still..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No clue what exactly you mean? In my kernels for S3, this feature is included?

And no, it is not just inserting files. It is changing the driver files for the max charger and the regulators to achieve this, followed by a complete kernel recompile.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
I think he means to do that on CM13 stock kernel...

Andi, we the people are waiting for a last gift from you, maybe christmas gift... :fingers-crossed: :D :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ok, then my answer was correct.

And for the rest... nothing to say right now :cyclops:

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PiniponSelvagem:
Get an iPhone... No more problems with ram management, xD
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
My answer is quite simple:

The S3 is an outdated phone, it has only 1GB ram which is not enough anymore for todays average usage.

Then using Roms that require lots of ram on top (like 5.1.x Android etc.) is completely contraproductive.

The only rom where I can get still decent usage is:

- CM11

- Samsung Jelly Bean stock 4.3

Yes, this is old stuff. But it works with the "old" phone.

And many will hate me, but I have to say: Move on to a new phone which is well equipped. On my OPO with 3 GB ram I never faced any app closures.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cokesucker:
Speaking of the old CM11, there has been a lot of changes since 19/11 on CM11 nightlies. Do you think there is any value in updating your kernel for cm11?

Thank you Lord.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bogazicili90:
I will buy an LG G4 but I have to wait some time. Then there is no way to get rid of this issues... :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zuziemanis:
Sorry for oot ^^

In my opinion

"Opo moro moro"mybe is good with her price

But for me s3 is the best with her support from many many developper in the world...

Especialy any boefla hand in s3 so be amazing experience and be deferend with other device.

Nothing happen for me what is call random reboot in my s3 now although use touchwich based or aosp based.

exception when we try be tester many s3 rom in this forum. And that experience make s3 be so rich be compare with her real economic price.

Yes you must selective with only 832 ram and 2200 mah and i think that reasond why this forum exist. Read and give many thank or support will make your device better.

Sorry my lord andi, im be honest to. I cant move to "Opo moro moro" until now :D

S3 still in my life

Don't know your configuration, but try nova launcher, it's waaayyyy better than TW.

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

Yes, it's an old phone, but with zram enabled and not using huge apps, I run LP without problems, and MM is even better !! (it only needs the best custom kernel... ;) )

Anyway I can't believe how a new phone needs at least 2 gb of ram. Windows XP with 1 gb of ram can run almost everything and multitask like a champ, and we on phone with a bunch of apps, need 2 or 3 gb ?!?!. I never programed for linux or android, but I believe android needs tons of optimizations, the simplest app eats several mb of ram, and the trend is becoming worst...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PiniponSelvagem:
Ya, android needs optimizations... And LOTS of it... Just a simple app to count how many times you click on a button, can take about 10mb of RAM, i tryed it and that happend.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No. The changes are all rom related, mainly the stagefright fixes.

I keep on monitoring it of course and will release an updated kernel once something significant changes.

Very well said :D

I really loved this "dry sentence" so much, it is featured on Twitter now.

:)

Should not be that difficult, eh? ;)

It is "just" a rebase of all my commits to the latest CM13 branch, probably around 180 commits that need to be checked, adjusted, recoded. :)

At least this is the only real clean way...

Yes, I still have my two S3. And will not sell them ever. My first devices I ever developed for, so they are still very special to me.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Didn't mean to say it was easy :P

All I meant is that I tried my ass off to try and get the kernel to work, tried re-basing (but I got tired after 15 commits) and I decided to give it up altogether. All I meant to say is that if it is maintanance you are worried about (which you're probably not, compared to the re-base), somebody can pick up after you. If you give up on this, we'll probably come out with an unofficial build only after a looong time :P

All I'm saying is, we look up to you for a kernel.

(Not trying to make a great speech, just sayin')
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hehehe, I did fully understand you. And just wanted to make sure, IF I would ever release a S3 CM13 kernel, that it is huge work behind again.

And yeah, you did see yourself, that is the best to make people understand about the efforts and time.

I could try helping though (in picking commits). I mean 180 is no joke

[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Andi all we know that is hard work and you are tired developing for the good old S3, but frankly I will be more than happy, as a lot of other users I'm sure, in supporting you via donations trying to compensate your time and effort in porting your kernel to CM 13 ;):)

I release it and as long as it runs, it is there. Maybe I can fix the one or other bug if there are some (which is expected).
