I'm keep trying every new CM 13 nightly, but I always go back to latest CM 12. MM is doing fine and it's a miracle that we have it, and is what it is in such a short time, but there are many little annoying things that are still there. I will stop flashing for a while (if I can :) ) and see how it evolves, but maybe the sweet spot for the S3 it's already the polished CM 12 build 31.

ps.:the differences are minimal, MM should be numbered 5.2...

Kernel updates for CM13 and a very last CM11 one

Hi all,

I am back from my x-mas holidays, so I release a new CM13 Boeffla-Kernel for you in beta4.

CM13 -- Version 5.0-beta4

28.12.2015

Important: You need at least Boeffla-Config V2 in version 2.2.16 or higher on this kernel !!!

Update: Updated with latest official CM kernel commits

Update: Ramdisk of official CM13.0 build of 28.12.15

CM11 (NG and non-NG) -- Version 2.13 stable - Final

28.12.2015

Updated ramdisk to version of nightly 13.12.15

Changed compiler switches

Enjoy

[Galaxy S III Android Development] sunny1234590:
Thanks a lot! I hope you had a nice time ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
Good to see the last update for CM11, I,m thinking about "going back in time" for a while. CM13 is too fresh for me (and still no ext4 support :confused:), and I'm little bit bored of CM12 ;)

And it's the time to celebrate 40000 Thanks!!! Well deserved, Andi :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Oh dear, yes, I see. Very close :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] goldbeard:
Goodness me, I was the 40000th thanked user :):o
[Galaxy S III Android Development] temasek:
Let me add 1 more to yours ..... :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
... from the man with the >83.000 thanks :D

Cheers buddy.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DodgerTheRunner:
Has anyone already figured out the best settings of this No.1 kernel for CM13?

Dodger
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
You've got around 3.53 likes per post, Temasek has 3.58 likes per post, so we can say Lord Boeffla = Temasek God haha ;)

Both of you deserving the best :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Logan:
Updated to latest boeffla kernel but i see thr cpu stuck at 1400MHz

EDIT: changing values solved the issue.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, that is not new?

I mentioned already in beta1 the following:

Note: Similar to the CM13 stock kernel, expect CPU scaling and hot plugging issues

Install stock kernel and you have the same behaviour. It needs to be fixed in CM13 "somewhere".

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Logan:
This is the first issue i face

Everything works well never had over heat etc problems.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
As said... it is the same behavious in CM13 stock kernel, not a specific Boeffla issue.

I hope it will get fixed one day for CM stock kernel, as I do not develop anymore actively for the S3 (and therefore do not investigate anymore on it, nor fix anything specifically).

Till then, this is a known and noted issue.

By the way: the frequencies also unlock after a while, when you put load on the system. At least for me. It is erratic and sporadic.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Just to show you I am not fooling you...

Same with stock kernel, unfortunately...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Logan:
Lord i believe you when did you started the subject it was porting not fixing and i appreciate your opinion as s3 not your daily phone anymore anyway cm13 still in the start many work for cyanogenmod to do but you gave that phone a soul :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Cheers, my friend.

I am sure this will be sorted in future in some way.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Maxoobidou:
I'll join the thank train Andi, I used your kernels on my OPO. A few days in Thailand saw it die in the sea, so I got an old SIII from a friend, and here your are again, making devices fly :)

I particularily love your emphasis on stability.

Quick questions:

1/ Is having a different version of ramdisk than the ROM an issue ? i.e. should I wait for an updated kernel before updating the ROM so they both match ? (I'm going for best stability here).

2/ Also, what paramaters would you recommend for zram and swappiness ? 500Mb and 80 ok ? Would increasing zram to 800Mb be better ? Would I need to increase/decrease swappiness then ?

Thanks for the great kernels.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ansh1996:
1. I have never experienced an issue with a kernel ROM mismatch, sometimes i update the ROM first and sometimes the Lord's kernel. No issues with stability. But i guess its best to keep the versions same.

2. zRam is dynamic. Even if you set it to 800, only the memory that is required will be compressed. 800 is more like a limit. But anyway, i saw the highest usage never crossed 350 for me. I use a lot of apps. For good measure i keep zRam at 600 and swappiness at 95, values below than that made the system a little slow on CM12. I use the same values on CM13 and have no problems.

Hope this helped :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Good morning,

I took a few minutes to look at it, and I am pretty sure I could fix the hanging frequencies and cpu freq scaling issues.

If I am proven right, it was an issue introduced by the Linux upstream CM team did to 3.0.101. And if you tell me with the next kernel, it is fixed, I will point CM team to include the patch officially so it is also fixed for stock kernel in future.

Expect a kernel update today with the fix included :)

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tokict:
Great job Lord !!!

You're still the best kernel developer ever for s3 i9300 ????
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Thanks a lot, but for sure not. One of many, I would say.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
CM13 kernel update

Hi all,

as already told, I hope I could find the bug (which also exists in CM13 stock kernel btw) with CPU scaling and hanging frequencies.

Although I had not planned to spend time on fixing stock issues again, grrrr :silly:

So here we go, beta5:

Version 5.0-beta5

29.12.2015

Important: You need at least Boeffla-Config V2 in version 2.2.16 or higher on this kernel !!!

Fix: The issues with CPU stuck on high frequencies and other scaling issues should be fixed now (hopefully)

Update: Ramdisk of official CM13.0 build of 29.12.15

Enjoy

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sunny1234590:
Will give it a try right away!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tokict:
Yupz, there are many. But (at least) for me you're the best ever :thumbup: ?

Open Boeffla Config Apps > Action > Load & flash /store kernel ;):cool::D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
I'd also like to hear short [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION]'s opinion on that.

I plan to flash CM12.1 build 31 by Trafalgar Square (JustArchi's legacy), and I don't even wanna do it without Boeffla onboard. :cowboy:

Will flashing Alpha18 with ramdisk from Archi's build 21 can make any kind of unexpected problems on very stable build 31 by Trafalgar Square?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Ramdisk is important, yes!

In fact, the ramdisk is the first stuff that gets loaded when the kernel loads and initializes everything.

It is not known to cause complete boot failures, but it is known to cause weird side effects that are mainly caused by wrong SELinux contexts, different versions of healthd deamon etc.

So I recommend to stay in sync as much as possible. And this is the reason why I always mention exactly which ramdisk I include in which update. To allow users to match as good as possible.

So far the theory. Your specific question on the build is something I cannot answer, sorry.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
Ok, so to be on a safe side I will stay on CM12.1 Build 21 with your kernel :good:

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vkopzon:
Looks perfect!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lukaaa477:
Can you just update ramdisk for cm12.1 and releqse alpha19 since build 31 of rom is last one…?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Question back: Do you have any issues with alpha18 on that build, which would justify a new release?

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sunny1234590:
I have been using the Beta 5 for more than 4 hours now and I strongly believe that the fix has done the trick. Thanks a lot [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lukaaa477:
I have stuttering after while of rom use so i thoight it might be due to old ramfs
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Before I undergo the hassle to update this quite old kernel again... can you please check with the kernel that comes with the rom first?

(as I have severe doubts the ramdisk is causing stuttering)

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lukaaa477:
If its lot of work then no need, i can live with it, no worries
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
I do not even have the build somewhere :)

So I guess it is easier when you dirty flash the rom and try with stock kernel of it first. Faster than me downloading and implanting a new ramdisk...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
+1

But, as usual, "Lord knows this, Lord will think about this, do not disturb the Lord" ;)

Seriously - it would be very nice of Andi, especially because build 31 is EOL, it would be a complete final very stable CM12.1 ROM with Boeffla Kernel. Another thousands of likes for Andi, TV interviews, Hall of Fame etc. ;)

Or we just have to wait for perfectly stable CM13, so maybe another more year ;)

Anyway :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lukaaa477:
I have no stutter but cant tell bcs its too early ,with boeffla happens after few hours of use
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Here is the deal:

I provide the kernel for you tomorrow, and you test it and report back if it runs?

Because I already removed CM12.1, so will not test it ever myself.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lukaaa477:
Ok, ill test it no problem

EDIT:wait wait,i misread your word, actually i cant afford to phone not boot bcs its my wife's phone, sorry..maybe you can post test build here in this topic so someone can try it!?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Honestly... I do not expect the phone not to boot.

And if the phone does not boot, all you need is to reflash last alpha18 kernel.

But wife's phone... yeah, I understand :)

So, the build is ready in alpha19. Someone can PM me for giving it a test pls.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tokict:
Mmm... just an OOT question,

On CM 12.x every kernel you released labled as "alpha" even with latest version. But, on CM 13 you call it "Beta" even with the first released.

What is differrent between it ? Why you call it differrent ?

Do you think CM 13 development going better than CM 12.x ? Especially in term of kernel side.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
This is simple.

CM12.x was never officially supported by CM. It was always an inofficial version done by a few people like JustArchi, Arter, Trafalgar at the end.

This came with a bunch of problems as everyone could do what one wanted, due to lacking central control.

CM12.x unofficial -> my kernel is alpha.

CM13.x official -> my kernel is beta.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tokict:
Das it.

OK . Now i'm 100% understand why it called "alpha"/" beta"

Thanks Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lukaaa477:
If thats the case send me on pm, but i can test it later today,in the evening, so if someone is willing to test earlier would be nice :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Thanks. I have now a tester from a German forum doing some first testing in the next 2 hours.

So we know already by then if all is ok or not :)

Cheers

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
I also wanted to test it in the evening (as I have to download the ROM with the whooping speed 100kB/s, which isn't easy on "all family" PC), but you've already found someone :fingers-crossed:

If you'll need further testing later, let me know.

And one more thing - you're impossible, Andi. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baltics:
[MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] today's CM13 update and your latest kernel 5/5, are working well. No locked CPUs. All very calm. Battery use/ drain has fallen dramatically.

Many thanks.

Last CM12.1 update

Hi all,

due to obvious demand, I decided to give you a very latest CM12.1 S3 kernel, in line with latest EOL-build 31 of Trafalgar Square.

Version 4.0-alpha19 - Final

30.12.2015

Update: Ramdisk updated to unofficial build 31 of 18.12.15 (by Trafalgar Square)

Enjoy

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
Lemme put my hands on it... Will report later this evening. :good::good:

2 days ago I just had a thought - "I'm craving to flash build 31, but only with updated Boeffla aboard, such a shame it's impossible".

2 days later I'm just starting to download build 31, with updated Boeffla aboard :cool:

And who said that devs are heartless coders? :laugh: Ok, most of them are ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DahakePL:
That's a real Lord
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lukaaa477:
Thank you ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
Ok, so I'm testing Lord Boeffla alpha 19 final with CM12.1 build 31 for more than an hour, and what can I say? :)

...CM13 can wait a little bit longer ;)

I also wanna say BIG thank you, before I'll overcome the everyday struggles and be able to say "thanks" in more... ehm ...proper paper form :laugh:

Good job, again :good:

hello..

i'm sorry but i'm new here in s3 section, then, sorry if i question this in wrong place..but with this new alpha 19 and build 31 can you try sending or receiving mms?? or it's a rom related??

sorry again anything and my bad english..

thank you
[Galaxy S III Android Development] matt1966:
MMS is Rom related
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yoahmad1995:
I can confirm on build 30/12 with beta5 there is no stuck on high CPU frequencies. Thank you Andi once again for getting our diva back to life!!!

Yes that's right. I hope we get new builds if there were some security updates for cm12.1. We will see. Keep up the good work.

They are usually only rom related, so only if something needs a fix in the kernel...

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lukaaa477:
Do you reccomend ext4 tweaks and dynamic filesync turn off or on!?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Of course on.

It is on by default in my kernel because I find it great features.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
Of course. I've noticed that with any ROM with your kernel I NEVER had problems with anything related to filesystem. Deleting, copying, usb storage mode, lightning fast reading of USB connected phone. For comparison, when I was on KitKat long time ago with stock kernel I oftenly had problems with my computer reading a phone "forever", and many other problems .

With CM12.x and ext4 tweaks by Lord it's just a pleasure to use - NO SINGLE PROBLEM since I started to use it.

Just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sunny1234590:
Happy new year everyone. And thanks for this awesome kernel for our device. ;)

Updated from 29 dec nightlies with beta5 to 1 jan nightlies with beta5 kernel now i get 62% battery usage by wifi before 1 dirty flash used to fix wifi draining but now not working i am sure that it is not the kernel problem right?

(I am 99% sure it is from the cm13 1 jan nightlies)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SteStanich:
Go to settings-location, tap on the 3 dots and see if wifi scanning is always on. Turning it off solved my issue. Don't really think it's kernel related.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sunny1234590:
Battery Usage!

With this Kernel my WiFi is hardly consuming any battery. Stock kernel gives a problem every time. I wonder if some tweaks have been added by [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION].
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Rachit Kapadia:
I tried flashing beta 5 on aicp official nightly 01012016. It gave me boot loop. Did not go beyond samsung screen.

I tried flashing it without flashing boeffla kernel. It started. So now i know that the problem is when I flash the kernel it goes into boot loop.

Any idea why this will happen?

And I did a clean flash. Even flashed my internal memory via twrp. Still I got Boot loops
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sunny1234590:
This kernel is mainly for CM13.0! So, I am not sure whether it should even run on AICP or not.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2phazt:
This kernel (boeffla) is running fine on aicp 010116.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Rachit Kapadia:
It wont work for CM13 based roms?

I mean AICP is cm13 with few additional features
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
It works perfectly with AICP
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sunny1234590:
The developer made it specifically for CM13.0! It's up to your luck whether it will work or not on CM based ROM
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
What are You talking? It doesn't matter. It doesn't have to be "the right" cm13. It works with all cm13 based roms. It's always been so. With cm11 and cm12, too. So Why Not with cm13?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] matt1966:
Boeffla is working with latest AICP!

I have this combination running since yesterday.

Just flash the ROM with gapps and let it boot the first time with standard kernel.

Then flash Boeffla and it's working perfectly
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, I did some modifications for a long time.

In fact certain broadcasts are filtered which would wake up your device multiple times in busy wifi networks.

... At least as long as the dev did not 'customize" something in that breaks it.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sunny1234590:
Do you plan of sending the changes to CM so that they can implement it too in their stock kernel?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Rachit Kapadia:
That worked! Thank you!:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2phazt:
I never had a problem to flash boeffla immediately after the rom (even aicp).

And I can confirm flashing aicp, gapps, boeffla, bbs and xposed in a row before 1st boot works like a charm.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Naaah, not really.

My kernel repo is open, everyone can pick from it.

I do not want to force them to implement my stuff. The only thing I will actively send to them soon is the fix for the CPU scaling as this is a serious bug in CM13 stock.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sunny1234590:
Well, thanks. Atleast one problem will be solved soon!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Logan:
Lord did you finished porting the kernel?(just asking because haven't seen updates from afew days)

Or do you wany to update it once a week?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Yes, it is fully ported since beta1.

I will not add anything more. Just will provide a maintenance release once required every then and now.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
Hi, [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION]!

Hope you've got great beginning of the year!

Also your Alpha19 is still working like a charm with CM12.1.

I've just got one easy question, as you can still be tired of New Year's ;)

- I've noticed that I had exFat module enabled in your app for couple of days by mistake, though I've got the phone formatted in ext4.

Could active exFat module interfere with files copied to the ext4 phone, or between external and internal memory at this time (lots), or it works only when the phone is in exFat?

I checked couple of files and they're ok, but is there posibillity of corruption?

Sorry for maybe overreacting question, but I'm playing with files a lot :)

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Maxoobidou:
Thanks for the answer.

How do you see how much of the zram is used ? Having a log fill with this data would be great: just use it for a few days and look at the peak value to set the best zram.

Also, what's that about a number of zram devices ? Does that actually changes anything ? How many machines would people recommend using ? Default seems to be 1.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yoahmad1995:
I noticed one thing on beta 5 that phone freezes then shutdown at certain times. I didn't have this issue on beta 1-4.... I tried flashing 4.3 then cm13 02/01 but it didn't fix it. Hopefully it will be fixed soon and thank you so much Andi for keeping our 9300 alive and kicking!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
No. If you don't mount a partition with the exfat driver, it will never be used.

So no need to worry.

You can see consumption in first page of Boeffla Config. For a history, you would need to write an app that does it or a scheduled shell script etc.

Rest is explained on kernel homepage.

Not here so far.

So don't expect any "fix".

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lukaaa477:
I can confirm sudden freeze and hard restart on beta5 cm 13 ! Happend 3 times so far, like once a day
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sunny1234590:
I confirm the same thing. It started happening suddenly on the last 3 nighties. [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Well, two issues:

a) I have not had any hard freeze or reboot so far.

b) A reboot can be triggered by pretty much everything, Rom, Kernel, App...

So far all I will do is: I will put a beta6 out tomorrow where I include latest CM13 ramdisk again. Maybe that helps for you.

However, no code in kernel changed (apart from the locking issue fixed), so it is very likely not the kernel.
