Custom ROMs never haven been a reason for me to wait for a phone. In fact I only moved to a custom ROM because shamesung didn't managed to update to 4.3 for a long time and I never regreted it. But if I will by me a S5 I will stay with stock for as longs as there is no new android version and no update.

Sorry if this has been asked already but can I disable register hook with this kernel. I'm using temasek cm11

Cheers

As I do not understand what you mean by "register hook", I say: No you can't.

But maybe you tell us what you want to achieve? Maybe there is a solution to your requirement.

In stweaks there are a couple of setting to 'dull down' the intense colours of these screens and I wondered if this kernel had those options under another name or setting

Thanks for you fast response pal

Hi, I've been hearing about how, Boeffla's the way to go. About how it can make the audio quality better and all that jazz. What I want to know is, should I or should I not, flash this kernel? You can see, what I use on my signature, so, could someone PM me about this little question? Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ok. Simple answer then: no. It is not in, you can stop searching :)

This is one of the things that will never be in my kernels as stated in the OP.

Maybe not more cpu power is needed. Then cores are switched off by intention.

This is what hot plugging is about.

Thought I would try out lulzactiveq governor today, initial impressions were good, CPU gently scales up rather than bumping like in intelliactive, not that I an complaining about intelliactive, it's ace.

However, I ran into some issues with lulzactiveq, Bluetooth on/off for some reason went funny as did the whole system. I looked at the tunable section and decided to allow the governor to scale up 100mhz quicker than default and since that I have to say that this is a great governor and is recommended to anyone who has never bothered with it.

.

I'd love to have some explanations for the many adjustable features on lulzactiveq, if anyone has them I'd love to know more :)

Go to Display&Lights, select brightness, tap the settings cog icon, select adjust, then alter the lux values according to your taste. I am sure that is the way to do it! I'm sure someone will let me know if I am wrong :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Not neccessarily. Alarm manager takes care of periodic tasks in Android, it is also used by apps requiring that.

So if you have many apps that work in the background, this might be just normal.

For sure it is an app/rom question, not related to kernel.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Could be. But still some app or the rom is triggering alarm manager events.

I think however, you should be asking that in the respective rom thread.

I am not an expert on that, and it is far above kernel responsibility, so I am (personally) not of much help.

I have setup a build environment and built a test kernel to look for that issue. I looked over the samsung_battery code, and even if nothing seems out of place, I will begin disabling things until I can isolate the dock issue.

However, with easter coming, don't expect much progress. I will post on this thread any success or failure stories.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
I think I am happy with Lulzactiveq, it works beautifully no issues to report other than it definately seems to disagree with undervolting, I could happily take 25-50mV off with other governors, but with this one it leads to issues, so lesson learnt there!

Maybe this is because Lulzactiveq uses more frequency steps, other governors tend to skip a few and bump up in 300-500mhz blocks. Boeffla config shows this up nicely with the history of percentage of cpu step usage, thanks again Lord Boeffla for that. So I think the undervolting is maybe only unsteady at some of the frequencies other governors skip.

But, I have to say removing the undervolt does not impede battery life whatsoever, A2DP streaming nicely, phone very snappy, seems like a really good balance.

I never bothered with it before as I had bad experiences with Lulzactive (not the "q" version) on i9100, so wrote this off. Maybe the Q at the end represent quality!

Still, if anyone can help me with some explanations on the entries in the tunable section I would be eternally grateful!

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

EDIT

I managed to find some information from the author on a i9100 thread, suggesting different values, so from that I can compare and contrast and see whether any further improvements can be observed and gained!

EDIT

I have altered my dec_cpu_load to 40, from 50, so that is does not drop down frequencies so readily, result is snappier performance and I'll take note how much battery is affected.

The pump up/down element might be interesting to test out too, but I think I'll do these one per day so I can accurately depict what occurs on an individual basis :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
Well, I read more and I play more, I'll have lulzactiveq nailed down once I finish what looks like is going to be some slow and lengthy testing. Default settings are not quite right for my device, I'll share when I think I have cracked it :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] DiReis:
You might want to check your charger, just in case, looks like it might be the problem.

Either that or your USB port on the phone is not 100% ok
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hisee:
I have already tried with 2 different chargers but if I charge other fone then it's charging perfectly with same charger ,still will try with the one come with tablet.....any chances that my motherboard having problem? usb port replcable?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DiReis:
Personally, I would first try to eliminate any issues with the charges/cables. Try to charge another device using those cables/charges, if there is no apparent issue, it would indicate the problem might be on your phone.

You might want to check if you have any issues transfering files to your phone using the USB port. That might help to narrow down the issue.

Also, have you faced any issue like that while running 100% stock?

Edit: just realized you already said the chargers are working, sorry. The rest is still valid.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zeli9:
Great, thanks! The only thing "missing" is automatic OTA kernel update within the config app, but I guess it would be too much to ask :p

At least the donation version indicates that an update is available :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Zeli9... why? This is already in?

Go in menu and select "load&flash", then indicate which version (test or stable), and then the kernel will download (OTA) and get flashed.

I think this is what you asked for, right?

Cheers

[Galaxy S III Android Development] zeli9:
Oh, damn, I didn't realize this is already built in! Amazing work, man, many thanks!!! :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Oh yes, the Boeffla-Config app is quite powerful :)

Just, sometimes (maybe in 5% of the cases) on CM it does not 100% stable work for flashing (and load&flash) in the app. Then you receive an error message, the image could not be extracted.

If you have this, please let me know and send me the bc.log file in this case.

If it works - enjoy the comfort.

i use wifi direct and had the same issues on temasek kernel. i havnt actualy tried boefflas new kernel but will give it a go and let you know. your rent doing anything wrong, i tested yanks in exactly the same way u describe and his worked.

drew071
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
... well, could be the wifi patches in my kernel.

For reducing wifi wakelock times, blocking multicast packets... etc.

Very likely when I would remove these patches, it would work again.

But at the price of wifi causing significantly higher battery drain for many.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STAticKY:
Is it possible to make it switchable? Keep both parties happy...

TP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes and no.

The change to reduce wake lock times can be made switchable potentially.

The multicast filter very likely not, or only with high effort.

But I would not work on this before I knew it makes sense.

So, if someone wants, I can revert the wifi patches and compile a test version of latest beta. If wifi direct works then, we know where to tackle this issue. And then we need to find out with another test version which one of the changes it is.

And then we could try to analyze feasability to make it switchable.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] zeli9:

My first day of theory tweaking lulzactiveq has gone pleasantly well, I am starting to understand the effects of some of the elements now :)

I have manage to iron out some of the issues around a2dp streaming and transition lags with some simple logical adjustments in the tunable section. I am happy with those alterations and I will test them out for atleast another day before tweaking around with other area's.

If anyone is interested, I have attached a picture of what has been changed so far along with the effect observed.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
Lulzactiveq experiment update

So 48 hours in and I was happy, so I took a new look at what else was to be learnt!

I have two more testing cycles to go it seems, the next one is looking at sampling rates, which after researching is the rate at which the governor polls the cpu to request its stress rate, depending on the result the governor then commands the device to switch cores on or off and to raise or lower the operating frequency.

So, I want to test how thing are with increasing the rate at which it looks to clock up (to allow more responsive up scaling) and to prevent micro lagging and yo-yo'ing I have reduce the time intervals for dropping down. Not by much of course, it's not like the governor is not already well tuned as it is, but I get the feeling based on my first tests that there is more on offer from this governor. If I get more out of it then I will then monitor for overly adverse battery usage, if it is minimal and more responsive as a result then I will be happy, if not then I will be at least pleased to have learnt a bit more on the subject.

So with that in mind here are the changes I will be testing for the next 24hrs (In addition to those already changed and approved by myself as functional and improved over default from my first test cycle) :

Testing round 3, I will dive into the abyss and try and get my head round hotplugging, which is controlling how many of the 4 cpu cores are active. I would be surprised if I need to change anything there and I won't unless I can find a damn sight more information on the topic! Researching the other elements was tricky enough considering there is not a lot of good advice out there, it is much more scant on hot plugging!

So if anyone has come across a good guide to it I will be very pleased to hear from you.

I prefer kernel with Linaro toolchain, I wondering why boefla not use it....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] boyheadkick:
he actually did once but reverted since his testers reported a lot of problems with the linaro built kernel
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

there is a very simple answer to this question:

Linaro, in my experience, does not give real benefits. It rather adds some weird issues for people like weird CPU scaling, overheating devices, micro stutters.

At least for me and my users, a blind test a while ago showed clearly, Google 4.7 standard tool chain was the one with the best tradeoff between performance, battery life and most important stability.

ZaneZam has a thread open here, he provides inofficial Boeffla-Kernels compiled with Linaro toolchains. So you might have a look there (however I think so far he only provided this for Samsung kernels, not yet CM/Omnirom)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] _Negan_:
Hello Andy and happy easter in late...one question: in which way your kernel impact on led when receiving a notification? I mean, if I have some problems with led blinking when receiving notification, could be a problem of kernel settings or depends of exclusively on the ROM? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
The kernel only decides HOW the led blinks or fades (and with which speed and intensity).

But IF the LED should be activated or not is only decided by the rom and apps.

If sometimes LED notification works and sometimes not, it is a rom and/or app issue.

If it never works at all, then it might be incorred LED brightness configuration in the kernel configuration app.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, there might very well be an incompatibility based on which rom you use.

Since CM team changed the handling during CM10.2 completely, it is rather scattered.

So, you would need to play with all combinations in rom settings and Boeffla-Config settings.

But IMPORTANT: Always, after EVERY change in the configuration, lock your phone by pressing the hardware power button on the right hand side, and unlock again afterwards. This is required to have the new settings working correctly.

Apart from that, we need more information about which rom you use, which version etc. etc.

Hi Lord :)

Sorry if it has been asked before but did you ever consider to buy the new OnePlus one ?

I must say the S5 seems fine, but

-Price

plus

-Hardware ****-ups (e-fuse....etc.)

plus

-poor Design / no "wow" effect

made me consider my S5 buying plans.... the oneplus one seems very much interesting...

I guess there are quite a few "still S3"-users who are wondering about their next big purchase... :o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi Han-Droid,

I am in the convenient situation, I can wait for some more months before I need to decide.

Reason is 3 top priority private "projects" that require my full attendence until mid of August at least. Then I have (hopefully) money and time again for a new phone and a new kernel for it.

I am currently unsure about the S5 (yes, still), or the new Sony XPeria, maybe even the LG G3 (if it has a SD card slot) might be an option. Hard to say.

The One plus One... is there anything already available apart from lots of marketing noise? Have not really checked that in the past days.

Hi

This is My expierence with this kernel. I flashed this kernel a long time ago on a Sammy rom but i desisted from using it because Of performance issues. Now, i am on lattest omnirom and decided to flash this kernel just for checking how My phone improves. I have to say that My dayly kernel is googy máx :the best kernel for the s3. Well, i have to say that i am not totally satisfated with this Boeffla kernel. Firts i cant listen to a 3 minutes song without getring angry because Of music cuts, this is so annoying ! But well i changed governor to lulz' and saw some difference, but still happends.

Well , i have to say that i expected more from this kernel since this is one Of the most named kernels but still needs a lot Of things to improve. If i try a different governor from lulz' the phone gets so unnestable and laggy. I have to say that i didnt touch any settings here except for Boeffla sound . i will give this kernel until tomorrow, if i don't see any imprive googy's kernel will be back.

Had to take a break from Lulzactive, trying to fully nail down every last micro stutter/glitch on A2DP I think might be impossible, therefore I have put that on hold and taken a fresh look at Intelliactive using what I have learnt.

I started testing the settings for battery drain overnight, 7 hours lost 1% battery, so I am happy that the device is sleeping properly with the settings.

Today I drive to work and listen to music for an hour, no audio issues at all!

As a rule of cores are on, but the settings are looking to stop the device spiking upward and downward on frequency steps, but of course it will when it really needs the processing power.

All be benchmarks come back as healthy as default settings offer, meaning that my alterations have not impeded high end performance of the device.

I will continue to observe the device over the day for issues and battery performance, I have at least another 3 hours in the car driving today, so I will get to test out the A2DP performance more and be able to confirm these settings as perfect for Bluetooth music users with luck :fingers-crossed:
