As i though, thanks for the answer, will wait for Alpha2～
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mad_ady:
Quick noob question: are the hwc/mali changes discussed here only on the kernel side or kernel + rom? Are the changes in performance noticeable? A link with more info would be educational. Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ghostx7:
Awesome!!! :) Thank u Lord Boeffla :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sevenshorseman:
Merry christmas ?

I don't know why but since I flashed stable NG Kernel I got some strange lags. I know that you only updated SU.

Camera doesn't work properly anymore too.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SlimFatso:
So, [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION], alpha 2 will have the working HWC, correct ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Incorrect.

At least I don't put anything in regarding that, as I explained many times.

All I will do is change Mali version to 29,which makes last ub team cm12 working again. And just by pure accident I noticed I could also boot up Nameless.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Code124Y:
in other word, no more kernel update for lollipop?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Mainly rom I believe.

Formerly Nameless was using rp4 Mali drivers, but they are not required in the end as they reverted back to rp32 stock again.

But I am not an expert in that area as I don't see any difference on Nameless regarding speed and/or smoothness. So I am not so much into that (hype).

Cheers

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Highly do this has to do with Boeffla sound.

I am more sure this is still a flaw in the rom. We do not even have official Nightlies, so we should expect plenty of bugs.

Boeffla sound is untouched since ages, that's why I am confident it will turn out to be a rom the one day.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lukijs:
Huh, yeah, that might be it since basically all roms are on cm12 sources
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Why do you think that?

I cannot see this being written somewhere?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewwright:
Sorry for the late reply.. No bugs found so far. Yes its ng running with beta1 cm 12.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ndttung8487:
Hi. I love your kernel when using old 4.4.2 rom. The most is your sound modification. So can i ask a noob question: your sound modification related to hardware or just software boost? Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aliffaminuddin:
have you tried it with beta2 cm12??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewwright:
Why would I do that? It won't boot beta2. If you read the thread you will see. Boeffla has one booting both cm12 beta2 and by mistake?? Nameless ROM too lol. That's some mistake mate ;) but anyway just wait for his release.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Purely hardware, featuring wolfson micro audio hub capabilities.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Small correction. It boots again on latest ub team Nightly, and yes, also Nameless.

But have not tried cm12 beta2,I leave that up to you guys a bit later.

CM12 alpha2

Hi all,

alpha2 of the CM12 kernel (normal and NG versions) is now available.

After yesterdays UB Team nightly broke alpha1, I was forced to work on alpha2 unfortunately.

At this time: Many thanks to [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] who did a great job last night giving me a hand in preparing and compiling a test version as I was not close to my PC.

Great teamwork, thanks a lot buddy!!!

Please note, alpha2 and alpha1 are having the exact same functions. Only alpha2 needs to be used on roms that use newer mali blobs.

And here goes the official change log:

Note: This kernel is compatible with a variety of roms around.

Alpha1 supports "older" roms with older mali blobs, Alpha2 supports roms using newer mali blobs.

To find out which kernel you need: Easiest is you load both and flash alpha2 first, if it boots, all is ok. If not, try alpha1. If both do not boot, let me know.

Difference between the normal kernel and the NG version: The normal kernel is based on official CM kernel sources, NG version uses pure Samsung sources.

Version 3.0-alpha2

26.12.2014

Mali version changed to 29 to provide support for roms using newer mali blobs

Same functionality as alpha1

As always, enjoy and... Merry Christmas!

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aliw32619:
Thanks Andi , working flawlessly on RR 5.2.5 :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SlimFatso:
Works great on CM12 by JustArchi too. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZaneZam:
the whole thing started with me complaining because i couldn't do a update and use boeffla kernel afterwards, and thats actually a no go! :D

thx for the help and again the good team work my friend! i hope these mali blobs are "settling" now in the roms, pretty much "un-funny" such changes :)

so now compiling linaros, so stay tuned (on the other thread *g*)...

Tested boeffla 3.0 Alpha2 on RR 5.2.5 ROM. Seems to be stable. Even with little bit higher setup of LMK, it's still stable, not killing any background app. Nice! I have noticed that the kernel is able to switch CPU freqencies really fast, not hogging too much on higher frequencies if those are not needed. Archi's kernel was slower in switching the clock (that won't impact anything, I know). Other than that, as Boeffla app does provide LMK configuration, I do not need two apps to do setup I want anymore (used sTweaks and TricksterMOD with Archi's kernel). Thanks Andi, it's good to be home (eg running the kernel I'm used to).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Was about to recommend a clean install as I have zero issues on ub team myself, also no further reports on issues.

I'm testing 3.0 alpha 2 on ArchiDroid CM 12 beta 2, and works flawlessly.

This rom is VERY fast, and the HW composer works without glitches. It's in early stages, but it will be the fastest rom for the S3 (and maybe the last).

Thank you for your support Andi, I only switch to a new rom if there is a version of your kernel for it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] katolink:
Hi! Which version are u testing, normal or NG one? Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Virnik0:
I believe that most of us does use NG. Samsung may have applied some tweaks on their own to the sources, and that's what counts, as they have designed GT-9300 themselves.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aliffaminuddin:
hey so the alpha2 works with cm12 beta2??

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Virnik0:
I have noticed that Boeffla Config app does not support OC to 1.5GHz. Why? My wife's white variant can't handle OC to 1.6GHz (my own black variant does). Why? I was setting her CPU to 1.5GHz previously....can this step be added please? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kadopt:
Clock speed steps are limited so 1.5ghz was sacrificed for 1.7ghz. That won't be changed. My device handles 1.7ghz fine.

Yes, any time. The kernels are fully compatible.

Sounds great, thanks a lot.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yup. Then the rom is "too old" for alpha2 and you have to stick to alpha1.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
NG version. Boeffla sound and all parameters from boeffla app works like a charm.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] myshakugan:
Thank you for the amazing cm12 v3 alpha 2 kernel Andi. I was eagerly waiting for this. :D Feels great to be back on my fav kernel.

Thanks again and happy holidays.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Virnik0:
That is strange. I'm able to set 1.5GHz with Archi's kernel just fine. 1.7GHz would be too much on most devices, only few from whole production line was able to handle that frequency.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ubimo:
Hello Andi

I understand that CM12.0 kernel is based on CM12 sources and CM12.0 NG kernel is based on Samsung sources.

What are the pros and cons of the sources?

Which kernel provides better battery life?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Andi decided not to add another frequency step, so he has sacrified 1.5 to add 1.7, and leave 1.6.

After: 1.4, 1.5, 1.6

Now: 1.4, 1.6, 1.704

I usually overclocked to only 1.5, but now I'm runing at 1.6 perfectly fine.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Virnik0:
Well, I understand that, my phone is running 1.6GHz fine as well.

But my wife does have white variant, which overheats very fast till it shut itself down on 1.6GHz. She's able to run 1.5GHz fine, and due to limitations in boeffla kernel, she does have to stay on 1.4GHz. So I had to flash her other kernel, to keep uo with performance needs. Considering that she have paid Boeffla donation, it's quite sad.

It is good habbit to make smaller steps in going up, rather then big leaps. Don't take me wrong, but going up from 1.4GHz directly to 1.6GHz (200MHz!) is quite risky sometimes, especially when you consider the fact that Samsung didn't make sure that all CPUs are the same. You can't hold the phone in your hand how hot it will become soon after reboot.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
This is not strange. I removed it.

I think then it is pretty clear, or? [emoji3]

ArchiKernel is a different kernel to mine.

And 1600 should work on every s3 more or less stable.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yeah, sorry to be hard. If she needs 1500, she needs a different kernel.

There is no way I will include an additional step again.

Ps: long time I did not provide any oc at all, so I think what is built in fits more than 80% of the users. Normal rate for success in IT for features.

Thanks for understanding

Andi

PS: although a donation honors general work and does not open up wish lists, I am fine to refund your donation. If so, please contact me via a pm.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Oh, that has been discussed so many times in the past already in this thread... Would you mind to do a quick search first?

The ng version is expected to not carry any bugs with it which cm team probably included in their code.

So if NG kernel fits you well, you should go for it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Come on !!, going from 1.4 to 1.5 ghz it's a difference of barely 7.1%. The phone is usable at 1.5 and not at 1.4 ghz ?, I'm sure if you set the phone at 1.4 and you go to your wife and say to her "ok, now it's running at 1.5", she hardly will feel any difference at all.

That won't be neccessary. I understand the fact that majority overpowers minority. That was only some sort of *sight* from me, not offense meant. Maybe I'll figure it out by undervolting, don't know how I'll solve it on permanent basis now. As said, this kernel works flawlessly for me.

I think that behaviour was the same in Kitkat before, or?

I cannot really say, I literally never use my phone for phoning. And also not the S3 anymore.

Just as a general statement: Lollipop for the S3 is heavily work in progress, this applies to rom and kernel. And there will be many changes coming before all fits perfectly together again.

So, for the time being, still expect the worst, everything is still full of bugs. But they will be ironed out over the next weeks/months for sure.

Charging powered off works - thank you & Zanezam. When charging completed, the led changes to red and there's a dark-grey screen (instead of green led and screen off). After disconnecting charger, led and screen turn off regularly.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rp158:
I did a few partial chargings to get fast result:

Both of the kernels, 'normal' and NG, behave the same. When reaching 100%-charge, led turns red. If you know the intent, it's fine. I associated first 'red' as error, too heat.

The screen is during charging until disconnecting dark-grey /black, but not off, as with firmware.

Cosmetics probably ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fcaronte:
[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] On cm12 I have this issue.... If active zram is automatically disabled after a phone reboot.... Is normal?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, most important is - offline charging works. This was not the case in the past for many times. And I really did not bother about it myself, as my phones are never switched off.

So it is cosmetic, maybe some new patches to CM12 or the kernels will change that in future again.

It is not normal when you do a complete reboot. Then zRam should stick (and does, I just tested). So if it does not for you, something else is broken in a way.

However, it is true when you just do a soft reboot (which only reboots the rom and not the kernel), then zRam is "gone". I have already an idea how to fix that, next Boeffla-Config all should improve that so it should stick also after a soft reboot.

Thanks for spotting.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fcaronte:
yes confirm is working with complete reboot :good: thank's
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EViollet:
That's good news. I had tried several things to get the zram to stick after a soft reboot but had never really had time to figure things out correctly. At least you've just confirmed that there really is a problem.

Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, it is/was indeed an issue. Reason is, I never use soft reboot myself, so I did not reveal it.

If you are interested in a test version of the app that can handle zRam together with Soft rebooting, pls pm me.
