Would suggest to reset them to the ones that come with the kernel for some try.

Press reset button in Boeffla config app to reset them.

Graphical glitches when playing YouTube video

Using boeffla alpha 6a with unofficial cm12 beta 6 by justarchi… it's great however it's let down by the graphical glitches when playing YouTube video with YouTube app… any fix for this? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, I cannot fix incompatibilities of individual apps from kernel side.

CM12 is not even in official nightly state (and probably never will be), so we should be happy how it works already now.

It would require maybe app update, or rom update, or kernel update one day to fix it. I do not know.

Only fix for it I would know, if you really want to use Android L, ... buy a new phone that is officially supported. Honest answer :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Even I'm having glitches. But what Boeffla said is right, get a new phone (like a Moto G, a phone which I turned down in order to get the S3) if you want no problems at all.

#NoRegrets.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yup.

I mean.. let's be clear.

CM12 is an alpha rom, not even officially developed by CM team but by individual groups. Things like HWC are merged in, which has never been done by CM before.

Kernel is also still basing on kitkat kernel code, not lollipop, so it should also been seen very prelimiary.

Getting these facts together, I find it amazing how good the phone runs.

However, we shoud accept issues due to the mentioned reasons.

Everything else would not be realistic.

Lolipop

Hello, I'm using Android 5.02 from Namless inc. Boeffla 3.0 alpha6a, and my device runs great.

When I'm right has Google changed the storage management for the external SD Card. At the 4.4.4 Version wasn't possible to push App's ore part of them up to the ext. SD Card. And I read this situation were changed with 5.0. So my problem is, It's might be impossible to push App's to the external CD Card. When I try to do this with "Clean Master", I revised the Information "Your device's memory and the internal SD card memory are the same, so shifting is not required". When I try to do this with the Androids App Manager, by pressing the Button "Move to SD card" I revised the message "App can not be moved. Not enough disk space". I using as the external SD Card 64 GB, and at the moment are 62 GB free. So my plan is, to transfer the maps from my installed Navigon APP to the ext. Card. Is this storage management a ROM ore Kernel option, or is this option not integrated jet? Ore is there something wrong with my adjustment?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
It is a rom functionality, the kernel does not care where apps are stored. For the kernel, an app is a process, not much more.

So you better ask in a rom thread, and I would not be surprised if this is not yet implemented.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rp158:
The missing access isn't an issue of ROM or kernel, I never had problems with NameLess & Boeffla NG. Try to format your card again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ghostx7:
Told you before, i9300 is incomplete without Boeffla kernel :)

Have been using version alpha6a NG. On temasek. No issues at all. Great work.

2 S3 devices a Tab 10.1 and an OPO. What do you do with each of them?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
3 OPOs (my main phone, one development phone, one phone for my wife)

2 S3 (dev phone for CM based kernels, dev phone for Samsung based kernels)

2 Tab10.1 (n8000 for me, n8010 for my wife)

1 LG Watch R (my watch basically)

And I just sold a S3 to our son.

Then we also have an Android based HDMI streaming stick here, but I am not using it much.

Yeah, we are pretty much Android based...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] agusdallalba:
Go to settings → developer options (Tap the build number in 'About Phone' 7 times if you don't have it) and disable 'Use NuPlayer (experimental)'. That gets rid of the YouTube glitches. Nameless has it disabled by default and JustArchi's CM12 now too, but only for new installs.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gamerjim:
I experienced this with unofficial cm12 beta 6… the player is disabled by default… so this is not the cause…

ROFL the post about statics seems like a good bye post at the beginning... We'll at least I thought that!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
As said many many times by me already.

Cm12 is under heavy, unofficial development. Devs are adding things like hwcomposer on it's own and so on.

I think we need to wait, accept issues and be grateful about how this is already working and evolving.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gamerjim:
I understand and i am very grateful of what devs had achieved so far… just to know I am not the only one facing this problem n there is nothing wrong with my device… sorry if this annoyed u… :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, not annoyed. It is just a topic for a few days already and the thread in the past 5-10 pages discussed it already. So some backward reading would have helped.

All fine with your device :)

It is just both roms and kernels somewhere in between nirvana and alpha status.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Virnik0:
Just FYI, Resurrection ROM 5.2.9 + Boeffla kernel Alpha6a = not working HW codec. Seems like ROM issue more then kernel's.

That is why it can be significantly fast.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lil Geeky:
I'm Just wondering why boeffla-config app not in every kernel zip it will be easier to modify after flashing it directly.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kadopt:
Waste of bandwidth.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
700kb is waste of bandwidth?:confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lil Geeky:
He is kinda lazy to say "Spam" he wasted my actual bandwidth searching in *urban dictionary* to know what he meant.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
Oh,ok then.:thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
It's really inconvenient to have a config app as a system app. What happens when you want to change kernels? Both Arter and Archi have Config apps included in the zip and as they were system apps, they were a pain in the ass when switching Kernels. It's a good thing Boeffla doesn't do it.

Also, I wouldn't have minded them being system apps had they allowed me to use the app on any kernel, but not every kernel has the features that the config app offers to change. So Boeffla's done the right thing not including it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Some reasons:

- I need to have it installed as user app, system app does not work -> this makes auto update very difficult

- thus said, I need to install it every time when the kernel starts from the ramdisk -> ramdisk is already quite full, not much left before it breaks

- I do not want to force people to use the app at all, so other can just use other 3rd party apps to configure the kernel

- also I do not like the approach, the kernel itself "installs" something

- In former times it was part of Google Play store, thanks to Google I had to remove it

- I can also not install it from the kernel installer zip while flashing the kernel for the same reasons

These reasons made me decide, the most flexible way is the one I have chosen.

You can always backup the app in Titanium Backup and even make a flashable zip out of it, if you are worried about bandwidth (but don't we have wifi everywhere already???)

Yep, my clear opinion too.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Wait, what happened with Google again?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
They removed Boeffla-Config irreversibly and claimed, it has malicious or dangerous code in.

But when asking them, they never told me what exactly they believe they found.

2 months later I found out, it was due to the root framework by Stericson I used in the app. This framework was handling all root functions in the app, and somehow Google did not like that.

I replaced the framework by a lean own framework later, and now it would pass Google's checks again.

However, they will not unlock the app anymore. Why? Nobody knows, but many devs are facing the same unfriendly behaviour. There are even petitions started by the devs now to force Google to be a bit more cooperative.

I would need to change the package name to bring the app back in Play Store. But this would mean, it would install as a complete new app and all people would need to do this transition and loose their settings.

Something which is not worth doing it. The auto-updated I put into the app works just fine :)

And I am SO SICK of Google's behaviour. I would not even like to go back anymore to them...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Damn. The Auto-Update is a really convenient feature. Google has made Android such that Android can't survive without Google's packages. Google is starting to act weird.

Is UI really a large load for the GPU? Because I set the preset to "Battery friendly" and I got lag in the App Drawer animation. Is this because of the GPU UC?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, Lollipop UI seems to be a big resource hungry... I think it is both the underclocking and the undervolting. Maybe more the first.

Hi [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION],

Would it be possible to implement this new kernel base from the CM12 NG kernel into the CM11 NG kernel? I know that in archidroid 3.0.1.1 (the build before the latest) archi backported the HWC fixes from dhirus lollipop release. This build seemed to work well with good battery life but had some graphical glitches when viewing certain apps in landscape mode. I was just wondering whether the latest fixes that reduced the glitches on lollipop roms could have the same effect for archi's CM11 rom?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nowismine:
I wanted to add some comments for everybody who still sees the delay in displaying turning on when they are called.

After testing multiple settings it appears the governor and profile has the most impact. The zzmoove baterry friendly profiles turned into huge delays for me and sometimes even in missing the call completely and having no record of it.

Pegasusqplus on balanced or zzmoove optimal show delays of about 1-2 seconds only. Other more permance oriented governors and profiles fsuch as lulzactiveq may be even better.

If anybody else has any other suggestions i would be happy to hear.

Cheers

[Galaxy S III Android Development] whatsgood:
Oops my bad, I follow this thread so closely, can't believe I missed it :p

Thanks :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
And this is even explainable.

Zzmoove csps the CPU max frequency during screen off.

So when a call comes in, the phone cannot speed up to max frequency to handle everything quickly. Hence the longer delay.

You could tweak the cpu frequency cap in the governor's tunables with the donation version of Boeffla-Config. You can even switch that function off.

Explained in the faq on the homepage.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Virnik0:
yes, I used the exact same ROM for comparison myself. It was fixed by new build today. Other than that, this kernel is pretty stable, and performance it's giving me is impressive. Can't believe that you're still calling it alpha :)

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

Facebook was pain in the ass since they released it for Android. Never ever again I used it.

For greenify, I believe that it is not needed. It is enough to use zram, 4x400 is OK for most cases. Some may found 4x600 required, but I'm fine with 4x400 and swapiness 100 setup. I have few unused system apps frozen, but that can be done without greenify.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nowismine:
I bet it is and thanks for the details.

This didn't happen to me on cm 11 although you said there were cases and i was using one of your kenels. I can't be sure i was using similar settings, but i do have a feeling it's more obvious on cm 12.

It's really good that we have guys like you and kernels to play with so, again, thank you.

Am just starting to dig more into this so there's a lot to learn.

I don't really trust ZRAM, had a bad experience with it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
CM12 is under heavy development, it needs major rework of nearly everything made so far to make it a stable experience... at some point in the future.

Staying on "old trash" won't help anyone with anything, crappy smdk4412 kernel was the reason I made AK. Now kernel is not enough, and we must go further if we ever want to have core functions working. If you want to achieve something, you must first go through all the bugs, so you can eventually make a solution that works.

You should actually be happy that something is happening. Otherwise you wouldn't move from kitkat to any lollipop ROM, as all of them are based on our sources. i9300 is not supported by CM officially since 5 days ago, and I said that this will happen sooner or later when we were starting with the first alpha. So now you have a choice - stay on CM11, or stay calm and wait till CM12 will be released in stable version.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nelsonw:
Cm12 works pretty well for me. Thanks for the work you guys are doing, it works!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
The thing is... it is just terminology.

I want to say by calling it an alpha, it bases on many inofficial things.

So as long as there will be no CM12 official version by CM team, the kernel will be called alpha. Probably due to that, the kernel will be alpha forever.

But who cares in the end?

Should CM release official CM12 versions one day, it will jump to beta status. Same I did with the OnePlus a few weeks ago.

It also has it's flaws in certain functionalities not being fully available.

But yes, for daily usage it saves lots of memory and also traffic.

Exactly, could not have said it better.

I point that out many times to make people understand, what they get is far away from a ready product. It is a nice project and it is amazing how good it runs already.

But some are just not having any clue what it means and complain about the same issues ever and ever. Issues that probably will even never be resolved.

Good morning,

I have the problem, that battery drain in usage is quite high although brightness is on lowest level, CPU set to 1200 MHz, - 25mv UV and - 50 for gpu. Using Pegasusq and bfq.. I am on CM11 of Markox89 and I have absolutely no idea what could be the problem. In DS drain is also not soo good (about - 2%/h). Could it be the battery?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, some comments...

2% per hour is quite normal when you have all syncs enabled + especially when they go over 3g/H. And when you have bad network reception, it is even worse.

It can also be the battery, yes. After 1-2 years I replace batteries as the degradation effect is noticeable.

However, I would (and I say that over and over again) try without any undervolting of cpu/gpu as well. Too much undervolting has negative impact on battery life as the system becomes internally instable and this drains even more battery.

I am close to 20 mb of free ram even after everyhting being greenified. Stock settings on latest 6a.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:

This is absolutely normal. The rom has occupied all the memory available to assign it to apps etc. pp.

Not a problem at all. This is how Android memory management is designed to work.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] shivaagarwal1:
Thanks for the quick reply. Just wanted to know if this is normal. Coz people were saying that they have 200-300 mb free rm without gapps.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
But they look probably not in the kernel app, which provides the kernel view of ram usage.

They look into the rom memory statistics, and yes, after a fresh reboot they might have this free ram at the start. But with usage of phone it will fill up over the time.

And this is the design in Android. Keep everything in memory to be quickly reused as long as there is enough memory. If not, LMK will kick in and throw the least important stuff out of the memory to create space.

All good as it is.

@Lord Boeffla, thanks to your kernel, I now have an OCD of open and closing the App Drawer just for the animation.

Anyway, what filesystem do you think I should format my Internal SD to? Since it is ext4, I have compatibility issues with using it with Windows. Also, does UMS mode mount the Internal SD?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
What is an OCD ?

Internal sd is usually formatted in ext4, as it is only a link to /data/media. And you cannot format the /data partition to something else (yes, some put it on F2FS, but I do not support that with my kernel).

UMS mode can, by design, not mount the internal card. Reason is the same as above - it is no own partition, it is a link within the data partition only.
