Question about LMK

Hi.

According to a post I saw by Originally Posted by:

The stock values for the six levels are:

FOREGROUND_APP = 8

VISIBLE_APP = 14

SECONDARY_SERVER = 40

HIDDEN_APP = 50

CONTENT_PROVIDER = 60

EMPTY_APP = 75

But when I opened the boeffla config app v 2.1.69, and pressed the reset button on that option, the new values that appeared were: 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 120

Are those the same level numbers? If so, are they modified? On first sight, they look like a very aggressive setting.

I know it's a complex topic, and I don't understand it at all, just trying to know how Boeffla kernel works.

Saludos!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, first of all, to educate:

The default LMK settings come from the kernels ramdisk, and the ramdisk is defined by the rom.

So it is quite normal, different roms (Samsung stock vs CM vs Omnirom vs...) can and do have different LMK defaults.

Of course, they also differ from device to device, depending on how much memory is built into the device etc.

So the first question back is: The post you mentioned, what device/rom was it about?

The values you have seen are typical CM LMK values for the S3, so they are absolutely fine.

Well Samsung released LP source for the S4. Hope they do it fast for the N7100!

From Arter97:

Recent CyanogenMod 12 changes include SYSTEMSERVERCLASSPATH change.

This means if your favorite custom kernel developer have not yet merged this change, you'll end up in a bootloop.

Please note, [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] [MENTION=4604352]Moster2[/MENTION]

arter97 kernel 4.0.2 will drop soon to take care of this.

Andi this is good time for a kernel update... :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Will update once this change is out in the wild, yes. I just hope it is backward compatible...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sajju73:
I hv boot loop on [MENTION=2332422]temasek[/MENTION] v8.4 but w/stock kernel its ok.. Can any body confirm.. Or its just me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
It was clear, read up. Arter already said this will be the case.

However Temasek Rom is not my selected reference.

When unofficial cm12 by JustArchi also has this change in, I will update my kernel too.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Zordak7:
Phone: SGS3, ROM CM11 Snapshot M12, Boeffla Kernel 2.7

Thanks for the comprehensive answer.

And truly, that post where I took that info was of a SGS3 with ICS rom, so It's clearly different.

Now, changing those values (LMK) in Boeffla config app, does result in some noticeable improving in performance? Or is not worth the effort vs. the risks?

Is it useful use a specific app designed for that, like Autokiller Memory Optimizer (or try the values that app applies to the system?

Saludos!

Hi Andi

Below message is from temasek tweet.. Kindly help if possible temasek cm12 users.

V8.4 - Custom kernels bootlooping on this build. Pls get your favourite kernel devs to update their. kernel. It's due to class path changes.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HaarisTheBoss:
Read the previous pages, in this case page, before posting.

Andi has already replied to this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Exactly. Once Justarchi's build, which is my reference, has it as well, I will include that too.

[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] what are your thoughts on anykernel method?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I looked at it already a year ago and decided it is a nice and interesting concept, but not what fits my requirements.

I prefer to have full control over what gets installed at the users side, not something that runs based on something I cannot control... So, I will not use it in future still.

Thanks

Something around that, maybe.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] katolink:
Hi Andi! Just wanted to report that, on latest CM12 nightly (03.07), hardware key buttons remain lit once screen is touched. They go off only when the phone enters sleep mode. My installation is after full wipe, clean install (no dirty flashing) and flashing kernel 3.0 alpha9. Maybe you will look into it when you have some time. Thanks anyway! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] whatsgood:
This issue is not present for me. I am also using the latest nightly, clean flashed with 3.0 alpha 9 NG kernel. Try to go into settings > buttons and change the hardware key light duration.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, or toggle control in Boeffla Config for touch key control...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] katolink:
Thanks, but I already tried that. I also tried changing the touch led settings in boeffla config, but to no avail. [emoji17]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Btw... Which nightly? I only care to keep my kernel compatible with weekly by JustArchi.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] katolink:
It's the latest, uploaded by arter today. But I understand, will wait for next weekly and see if this issue is still present. Thanks anyway! [emoji4]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I doubt it has something to do with nightly etc.

Did you, before you try new settings, switch off your screen with power button first?

This seems to be required from time to time.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mpq1671:
That's what it's related with, newer builds gonna need that change:

"Recent CyanogenMod 12 changes include SYSTEMSERVERCLASSPATH change.

This means if your favorite custom kernel developer have not yet merged this change, you'll end up in a bootloop."

// oh u r talking about something else, u probably know that already :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Wait a moment...

nightly 07/03 running with 3.0 alpha9 ??

how can it be if:

Recent CyanogenMod 12 changes include SYSTEMSERVERCLASSPATH change.

This means if your favorite custom kernel developer have not yet merged this change, you'll end up in a bootloop

.

exactly what happened to me with nightly 06/03 !! :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] whatsgood:
Lol I don't know man, I'm running the latest nightly fine 07/03 with 3.0 alpha 9 NG
[Galaxy S III Android Development] katolink:
Runs very well except for the 'keys lit all time' issue. I have just done a fresh clean/full wipe and flashed 3.0 alpha9 after gapps - same problem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
​

Well, I don't understand anything...

For curiosity dirty flashed today's nightly as usual: cache and dalvik wiped, and then, rom + kernel + superSu + xposed from TWRP. I was expecting a bootloop, but for my surprise the phone booted, all is working fine, and no 'keys lit all time' issue...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hmmmmm. So what have I done already in alpha9? Lol.

I have for sure not put that in specifically.

Today is my wife's b-day, so can't check myself.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Something has changed in 07/03 nightly, because I had bootloops with 06/03.

Anyway forget about this and enjoy the day !!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:

[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] : I always use tether for some moment, but I think there's something missing on your kernel because too many 'request time out' when connected. I tried to compare with stock cm10.2 and it running well. Is there a possibility to fixed? I really like your kernel...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Sorry, but cm10.2 kernel is end of development already for a year.

So I am sorry, I will not do anything here anymore.

And something missing is quite unlikely, I use 100% cm10.2 code as basis and did not remove anything.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] geek-x:
Hey guys, I've been a huge fan of Boeffla's Kernel for long now, but I'm not sure if its my configurations in the kernel settings or something else that causes this, every time I delete a file on my phone from the File Manager, the file deletes fine but the minute after I reboot, the files deleted come back to that location with a size of 0 bytes, I've tried a clean install of my CM12 all to no avail, even wiped my internal/external sd.

I'll really appreciate anyone's help on this. Here's a screenshot.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Rom issue, not kernel. All fine here with Justarchi cm12.

Don't know which rom you use.

Expect cm12 to be buggy, more or less, as long as it is not officially supported by cm. Too many teams working on that...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Well, the nightly 07/03 works with boeffla 3.0 alpha 9, but the phone overheats and FV-Camera freezed two times. I'll go back to 04/03 nigthly backup when I can...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] whatsgood:
Maybe your permissions aren't set correctly. I used to have a problem when I tried deleting picturess but they wouldn't delete. It turned out my permissions got changed when pushing files to my internal SD with adb push.

But I hope it would better (tweaked) in cm11/cm12.

Thanks a lot, your kernel is always be my first choice!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] svetloslav:
Ok, just tested CM12 nightly 3-09 with beta 9 and it is bootlooping. So the problem did not go away. Since Andi is basing his work only on the archis's CM12 weeklies, I guess once the "weekly 8" has been released, this bootloop will be a common thing for everybody on boeffla kernel beta9 that use theming. I think those who use the stock theme might be safe for now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Things are very weird. When dirty flashed nightly 06/03 I had bootloop, but when dirty flashed 07/03 (even with dark material from Chummy) it worked :confused: . Anyway I had some troubles with the camera and the cores had a tendency to stay at full speed (maybe a clean flash could solved it, don't know), so I'm back to nightly 04/03 nandroid and all is fine. I'll wait and see...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazou_hb:
Same problem with the temasek ROM 8.4 but normally the next update will be OK for your beta9.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
How comes? Did you check latest changes, or just "speculation"?

and look this ''

'People with custom kernels like Boeffla, watch out when updating to 8.4. 8.4 includes its own kernel, but if you have the Boeffla config options enabled to retain kernel settings after flashing a new ROM like 8.4, you'll get stuck in a bootloop.'

The latest config app

And Andi, one more thing. The latest version of the config app looks horribly if a theme like the Dark Material has been applied. The previous look worked very very well. Is there something that could be done to alleviate looks for people with themes? Now it is a challenge to mangle with any of the settings.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Hi,

but this was never different with any previous app, just to tell.

You can select out of 4 themes in the config app settings, one of them will for sure work with you too.

CM12 - 3.0-alpha10

Hi all,

thanks to the quick feedback of the testers, I can finally already release alpha10 for CM12 now.

It is a pure maintenance update to fix bootloop issues on newer CM12 based roms, i.e. Temasek 8.4, CM12 unofficial nightly by arter97 etc.

Both NG and non-NG kernels are updated with the same change log.

Version 3.0-alpha10

10.03.2015

Ramdisk updated to inofficial CM12 nightly build of 09.03.15

Enjoy

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
To all the people who have issues gaming, this is what I do (Yes I know I do this many times, but this is to help people use their phone the way they want):

Set CPU to 1.2GHz. It doesn't really affect performance in a bad way

Set GPU to 266/350 (Via the Boeffla Config app). This is enough for UI and gaming.

Enabled ZRAM to 4 devices, 300MB

Changed Swappiness to 90

You can use whatever governor you want, but I use pegasusq-moderate

With this setup, I am able to use my phone happily with no lag and play games with no lag too

The games I play are: Real Racing 3, Clash Of Clans, One More Line.

Also with such a setup I am able to squeeze out 3H of SOT (sometimes 4H)

Happy gaming :P reduced overheating!

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

Looks like one.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yup. Graphical glitch. But these glitches will never 100% go away as long as we run Lollipop roms on Kitkat kernel sources.

Maybe this will be more perfect one day if we can port n7100 lollipop kernel sources to the S3.

Not sure if I then will still do that, but currently it is not yet a question.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cangcan:
As long as boeffla still works on L and doesnt bootloop, its more than enough for us..Thank you my Lord..

The only graphical glitches since the KK source based Kernel are Chrome glitches, which are extremely rare.

alpha10 is on

Just to confirm alpha 10 is working perfectly with Cm12 arter's nightly 03-10, which will be also true for Temasek's 8.4 and archi's weekly 8 (when it is released). Also version 70 of the config app is looking good with one of the presets on the dark material theme. Thanks Andi.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fcaronte:
Is the soft touch back light bug a kernel or Rom issue? I'm on weekly 7 and in the old build it seem to work (now stay alway on when I use the phone)

Confirme that the alpha 10 works well with 8.4 temasek.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] agusdallalba:
It doesn't look like a graphical glitch to me. The jpeg file is missing the end, probably the upload went wrong.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] whatsgood:
I feel like this latest kernel runs more smoothly. My phone isn't heating up as much and it actually charges my phone whatever heavy processes I'm using. Alpha 9 would discharge my battery whilst playing certain games, or even browsing the web with high brightness with a lot of heat being emitted (yes I had ignore unstable power checked) at 1000mAh. Temperatures went up to an excess of 90 degrees.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I do not understand. Where do you have this issue?

I am on weekly 7 too, and all is working with touch back light as it should!?

Good to know. But just another proof everything is quite "irrationale" sometimes.

Because absolutely zero has changed in charging driver, actually only the ramdisk changed and not a single line of kernel code :)

But well, most important is that you are happy.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gazou_hb:
Hello. I find that the battery drain was better in the old version but it just may be to the ROM and not your kernel. I test to reflash the modem.

Otherwise Less lags and the bluetooth audio car is correct.

Very thanks for your good job
[Galaxy S III Android Development] katolink:
I had the same issue, I posted about it few pages back. Meanwhile, I figured out the following solution: set in Boeffla config touch light controlled by kernel and in settings-buttons disable back light. This is the only way it works for me. Too bad that I cannot control the duration of the backlight, as in CM settings section. Could it be implemented though in Boeffla config? Thanks! [emoji3]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fcaronte:
If I active the soft key light controlled by kernel In your app setting... Is work but for me stay on to much second (I usually set to 1 sec) but the option to illuminate only when I touch the key is not working... Is illuminate when I touch the display (and the option for this feature is off) now if I switch off the kernel side control the back light stay always on (I set to 1 second) but I don't take care when this problem is come... I'm sure is working few time ago

Is this new version of the kernel supposed to be backwards compatible?

Because it's causing a bootloop on my SlimLP ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
​

Also here :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
The question is more... is SlimLP "upwards" compatible :)

No, I do not take care of backwards compatibility in the CM12 world for reasons I explained multiple times already.

I just make sure, my kernel runs on latest "vanilla" CM12.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
So basically the Alpha 10 won't work with ROMs that don't have this change?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No, I am still running weekly 7 of JustArchis inofficial CM12, and it runs without issues with alpha10.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EViollet:
OK. I understand.

And what does the kernel look for in the ROM in order to detect it correctly? I would like to change my setup so that the ROM is correctly detected as if it was a previous CM ROM

In advance, thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
The kernel does not detect the rom at any point.

The kernel starts the ramdisk and this loads the kernel, then the rom is started.

When the ramdisk and or kernel code is not compatible with the rom, bootloop.

No way you can change that really.

You would need to stay on the last kernel version still working for you until SlimLP gets an update so it is compatible again. Hopefully they do not develop their stuff in their own direction (again)...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Andii S.:
Buttersmooth with Temasek CM12

Thx my Lord

Send with a Lollipop powered GT-I9300

OK. Thanks. I thought you had to do some detection in order to differentiate previous CM12 versions from the latest.

I'll just pass the information along then, and hope that the dev will do something.
