Now I know a little bit. Thank you guys :) For now Im gonna test profile of [MENTION=2069027]metalgearhathaway[/MENTION] for a couple of days and see how it works. I didnt want to set too high power charging becouse I have 800mAh charger and I dont need faster charging. I just want to set up my device a little bit to run faster and smoother with this, for me, really good TouchWiz based ROM, Im still chasing best ROM and all of that to my device be better, if that possible :)
[Galaxy S III General] jagodic95:
My phone becomes really hot in bottom of the screen when I play some game or do something else for a while. Does it mean that I need do undervolt CPU or GPU or what?
[Galaxy S III General] metalgearhathaway:
Hotter than on stock? Of your using a profile that includes GPU over clocking then it will get hotter, but that is generally fine, of the devices becomes unstable then it's not.

[Galaxy S III General] jagodic95:
Im using your profile, Im not sure is it hotter than stock but its really hot :D That cant be cooler? :D
[Galaxy S III General] metalgearhathaway:
If you want to keep the performance but wanting it to be running cooler, then I would suggest maybe trying undervolting, just on the last 3 steps (440/600/700), just by -25mV increments and then testing to see if the device stays stable.

If you get it low enough and are happy with heat then great!

If not then changes your steps to be 440/533/600, test again, see if you mind the downgrade in performance (shouldn't be that noticeable on most games! So pick something demanding!), if all good and not too hot, great! If not do the under volting exercise again.

If its still too warm then reset gpu settings to default and you will be back to default settings and heat, you could once again look at undervolting if you have the time, patience and inclination! :) :good:
[Galaxy S III General] jagodic95:
Ive played Asphalt 8, and after few minutes he become really hot. How to undervolt just last 3 steps? I didnt know is CPU or GPU becomes that hot. Im gonna try all of that you tell meand see, and thanks again :)

Hmmm, I just notice this. When I restart phone, settings on your profile for CPU and GPU are reset to normal, default settings
[Galaxy S III General] metalgearhathaway:
Varies on the game, but generally the CPU will be going flat out, the GPU will vary on the game, resolution and complexity of the graphics on offer.

In Boeffla settings, you can set a global undervolt if you wish, or you can independently reduce power on a per frequency basis, the latter is the most sensible way to approach it. If you want to keep the performance and reduce heat, then your only option is to try undervolting but I recommend only on the higher frequencies.

So, I would not bother trying to undervolt the frequencies on CPU below 800mhz or on the first 2 steps of the GPU, as both are pointless in what you are after and are one of the most common reasons people suffer freezes or screen of death.

So only try undervolting by -25mV on CPU freqs 900mhz-1600mhz and GPU steps 3,4 & 5, i.e. avoid using the drop down boxes for generic across the board undervolts :good:

Intelliactive Final v4

Updated and final version of my A2DP intelliactive profile.

I have improved and trimmed my intelliactive settings to further improve battery performance, A2DP streaming still perfect :)

I am now moving on to Ondemand!

Enjoy!
[Galaxy S III General] jagodic95:
If you didnt see, I post this.

Hmmm, I just notice this. When I restart phone, settings on your profile for CPU and GPU are reset to normal, default settings.

Im gonna try this undervolting with yours new profile and see how its works :) In your v4 zip is still v3 profile, is that good?
[Galaxy S III General] boyheadkick:
i sure will :good:
[Galaxy S III General] metalgearhathaway:
Yes I forgot to rename it, I will update it accordingly though!

EDIT: updated, thanks for letting me know :)

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] jagodic95:
Is this a lot? :D
[Galaxy S III General] metalgearhathaway:
Yup, fine believe it or not!

The S3 has thermal throttling protection, from 80c upwards it will scale frequencies down to prevent your device getting damaged. I hear the chip can survive 120c, which once again sounds hot, but I think people just think about the boiling temperature of water and of course your cpu is not water based :)
[Galaxy S III General] jagodic95:
I now that isnt water based but CPU dont have cooler like pc, and than i dont know what is normal. I dont know is this highest temperature but that I see at this moment. I try to undervolt GPUs last 3 steps and when I star Apshalt 8 and isnt playable at all. Didnt try to undervolt CPU or return frequency of GPU to default and undervolt that.
[Galaxy S III General] metalgearhathaway:
The CPU is more likely to be happier with undervolting, the GPU is much more specific in terms of operation, i.e. if something goes wrong a crash will occur, the cpu is more likely to reprocess data and stay alive in the same scernario, so give it a little go. I have found that ASV level 2 chips can manage -25mV, ASV 3-4 -50mV and if you are lucky to have ASV 5 or higher you may attain -50mV easy and maybe more.

ASV level is shown on the first screen of Boeffla config by the way :)

Also, I was not taking the pee in my last post, got the feeling by your response that you thought I was having a go, I really wasn't otherwise I would not be so quick to try and help you dude :highfive: :good:
[Galaxy S III General] jagodic95:
Than I'll try to undervolt CPU a little :D ASV level is 3, i dont understand whats that mean :D That i can undervolt CPU by 50mv on every frequency? Thank you for helping me, isnt that metter how fas you response :)

EDIT: I just need one more thing :D How to set witch profile use after reboot, becouse when i restart phone he restart settings, overclock CPU, GPU zRam and everything :)
[Galaxy S III General] metalgearhathaway:
ASV level 3 should be fine for -25mV no problem, you might get -50mV. Try -25mV for a day and if fine try -50mV.

Thing to look out for if you test -50mV will be poorer performance, it's unlikely to make the device crash.

With the CPU it can cope with bad circumstances, so firstly it effects the overall performance, undervolt more and then you start to get odd lags and then eventually soft reboots or hangs. You'll have it nailed by Wednesday with careful testing :)
[Galaxy S III General] jagodic95:
Ive just undervolted freqs from 900-1600MHz like you said by 25mV to see how it works :) I dont need to undervolt lover freqs, right? If its all good with -25mV than to try all freqs from 900-1600MHz on -50mV or just higher? I just need one more thing How to set witch profile use after reboot, becouse when i restart phone he restart settings, overclock CPU, GPU zRam and everything . (Added from last post) :)
[Galaxy S III General] metalgearhathaway:
Not sure why your profile are not auto starting, maybe [MENTION=250485]boy[/MENTION]headstick might be able to help on that one?

Most likely it is an init.d script running which does not work properly and therefore does not give control back to the kernel for startup.

If you send me a debug info file, I can help you with that.

[Galaxy S III General] new_007:
so... after 65 pages... what profile u suggest?

i talk to some one that check some profile...

if i use imerium room.. its matter what profile i should take?
[Galaxy S III General] boyheadkick:
try archi or lord boeffla profiles first..then when you learn enough about this kernel, then you can use their profiles as base for your own profile :good:
[Galaxy S III General] andip71:
Yes, that was the right one.

But I see, my suspected problem is not what you have.

So, we need be more specific: What settings exactly do not load as you wish? Because I see many settings being applied during startup. Intelliactive governor, tunables for it, etc. etc.

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S III General] jagodic95:
Freqs for CPU, GPU, voltages, thats for sure, Im not sure is there something else :)
[Galaxy S III General] andip71:
I can see, they are set during startup. If they are not like you set them before, there might be an interfering app that is changing it to something else... otherwise I have no explanation.

Andi

I know restart phone again to see, he changed everything. CPU, GPU, zRam, governer, all..

[Galaxy S III General] metalgearhathaway:
That's about the amount of screen time I get with my configuration as well, nice.

My little boy like Pocoyo, although in England it is narrated by Stephen Fry, I like Pato the most LOL :)

EDIT: Do you find without your GPU OC on the last 3 steps that you get issues in games? If so then I assume I must be lucky with my GPU chip working on the stock voltages.
[Galaxy S III General] boyheadkick:
I get my pocoyo videos on youtube so they're also narrated by stephen fry..

No i dont get issues with just stock values even on heavy games like injustice and real boxing, i can play them without problems...i actually patterned my gpu oc on your profile but when i didnt OV them and started to play a game the screen would freeze, so i decided to OV them (though just the ones I OC'ed as well)...i just OC'ed the last three steps because those two games would run far smoother on those values than on stock..

I am using your script from page 64 for an hour or so and I am getting the fastest antutu score since ever around 21000 :D

Let's see how the battery behaviour is doing over the day.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III General] jagodic95:
I dont know what heappens now, for a couple of days everything works great and now he works only on 1600MHz. I didnt change anything, he start to work that whitout a reason
[Galaxy S III General] metalgearhathaway:
Yeah, the performance side is nice :) I get about 3.5 hours screen time and 4 hours of music streamed over bluetooth, if you don't stream then you'll probably get 4 hours screen time out of it.

I am playing with Ondemand now, its much more settled than intelliactive, so could be more effective on battery conservation, I am testing it out for the day tomorrow with some adjusted values, as stock settings for ondemand are a little conservative. I think I can pep up the performance with minimal effect on battery, I just need to see if streaming on A2DP is fine whilst screen is off. More to follow :)
[Galaxy S III General] boyheadkick:
Install better battery stats and check there what app or process is causing that..

Is 4 hours screen time good? I cannot really say what's the average there.

Over night I lost about 10 % battery in airplane mode. I think this is a bit to much.

Looking forward to your new profile with 10 hours screen time and 27000 antutu score ;)
[Galaxy S III General] andip71:
I think he meant, he was expecting the CPU Freq not going higher than 1400 MHz?

This would be cause by some app having set the max CPU Freq up from 1400 to 1600.

Just reset it back in Boeffla-Config to 1400.

Andi
[Galaxy S III General] boyheadkick:
My bad..i thought he meant that the cpu got locked at max frequency

[Galaxy S III General] v1ks:
Thanks Andi for sharing, i noticed GPU frequency set to None in your profile, just curious why.

thx
[Galaxy S III General] andip71:
None means, there is no profile applied. I.e. you can use the sliders to over/underclock it yourself.

All other profiles change the frequencies and lock the sliders for manual configuration.

[Galaxy S III General] iceman0826:
just wanna ask why does lord boeffla doesn't recommend "multi-core powersaving + AFTER-LPA" in combination with other governors?

like for example

zzmoove + after-lpa = good or bad? or redundant?

zzmoove + after-lpa + multi-core powersave = good or bad? or redundant?

pegasusqplus + after-lpa + multi-core powersave = good or bad? or redundant?

Right now i'm using Lord Boeffla's profile using Temasek v76

zzmoove + idle-lpa = i noticed that the phone frequently enter deep sleep using this combination :good:

and when it comes to battery which is better ZEN or SIO?

and is it normal if i get 3-4hours of screen time? i thought s3's can achieve 10hrs of screen time (e.g. watching videos)..

sorry for many questions, i just need some further enlightenment from you guru's out there :angel:
[Galaxy S III General] andip71:
iceman: Multicore power saving is causing several issues for several people (not for all). Some report, incoming messages get delayed, CPU cores are not switching correctly at some time.

As my main goal is a kernel with highest stability, I do not recommend to use it. But I kept it in so people that are interested still can try it.

The CPU sleep mode is never redundant to governors / governor profiles. ATFR+LPA always works fine for me in combination with all other governors.

I think Zen is better for Battery, however the differences are probably not measurable at all. I am back to CFQ because of it's smoothness.

It is a fairytale you can reach 10 hours screen-on time with standard battery.

The best you can reach, in ideal case and based on what you do, is 5-6 hours. That is really the utmost possible. 3-4 hours is already a quite good thing which many cannot make.

Andi
[Galaxy S III General] iceman0826:
@ Lord Boeffla wow! very informative :good: at last i'm not going to cram whether to enable mc powersave or not hehe :D and here i thought i'm not getting enough battery life out of it jeez my bad :D (used to be a note 2 owner until i was a victimized by the thieves, so i guess i got used to with its battery life hehe).

i guess i'm gonna stick with sio for now coz i think according to its placebo effect, it was good hehe :p

My Ondemand A2DP Profile, for those who like extra battery life!

EDIT - Update governor to remove a mistake, my bad! Please update with v2 version attached!

Well, getting A2dP happy on ondemand was so simple compared to all other governors!

I almost feel like a fraud posting this up as a profile, but fact is the 2 adjustments I have made improve its performance no end, both for perfect A2DP and really snappy performance without the need for the cores to be switching on and off all the time.

The profile of ondemand is to stay low on frequencies unless their performance is urgently required. The adjustments I have made are simply altering the sampling rate down to 80000 and reducing the up_threshold to 85. This makes the governor both sleepy but alert enough to react whenever required. The stock settings are just a bit too tight and make your phone laggy as a result.

This is essentially the perfect governor in my eyes and even if you do not try my profile, I urge you to try the governor for a day with the two adjustments I mention above!

Marvelous!!!! :highfive::victory::laugh:

FYI - My Intelliactive profile is still great by the way, but I think most will prefer the tiny performance hit and increased battery life of this solution!

Will this work with kernel 5.2?
[Galaxy S III General] boyheadkick:
this is still for CM/Omni kernel, right?
[Galaxy S III General] metalgearhathaway:
Indeed mate :) I promise I'll start labeling the file names better so you know :)
[Galaxy S III General] boyheadkick:
it's alright, the clue is in your sig already ;)
[Galaxy S III General] metalgearhathaway:
Still, I will be better in the future! :)

I am currently tweaking the settings more, trying to see if I can calculate what effect the amount of zRam devices has/size of device.

So I have done plenty of 4 device tests with 50mb and 75mb per device, I want to see the difference between dropping down to 2 devices but with large memory allocations.

If anyone has already gone through the pain and has some rock solid advice I'd love to hear it! :) :good:

EDIT: Right, immediately I find out that it is recommended to have a device per core, so 4 devices on that knowledge sounds right, but still hungry for opinions :)

EDIT 2: Looking at swappiness, it seems to me that maybe a lower figure is better, so that the device will use the zRam, but not so hastily, if I am right, then my new test with swappiness at 40 could be worthwhile. Once more, peoples experience would be appreciated if accurate :)

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

I would assume no, but I have never used 5.2 so I do not know what the subtleties in difference are sadly, hopefully someone else here can comment then I'll know too for future questions.

MGH Ondemand A2DP Light User edition

MGH Ondemand A2DP Light User edition

EDIT - Updated profile now attached! 170514

I have found my settings!

This profile is based on the way I use my phone! Things to remember about my style of usage are:

1) I probably only use about 20 apps, even though I have over 200 installed lol

2) I ALWAYS clear down my used apps before turning the screen off, a bit OCD like that, only things that survive are of course things I want to continue with later.

3) I don't really play games, well maybe once or twice a week max, I wish I had the time, but at the end of the day you'll find me playing BF4 on PC instead whenever that spare times arrives!

So this time round I have curtailed the zRam settings, now only 100mb swap file in use as 4 devices @ 25mb each. This has come from monitoring my swap file usage across a period of time on typical usage days. This reveals that I never use more than 50mb swap anyway! Therefore, just to be safe I have doubled my requirement to cover special occasions, lol.

To my understanding, the zRam is performed in the devices ram, so therefore by enabling it, you reduce the availability of raw fast ram and the partitioned virtual ram area is compressed so to allow more data to be stored there. So my lesson is, if you do not need lots of extra ram, then only allocate for what you need, therefore leaving more "real" full speed ram, of course less use of zRam has battery credentials too!

Edit- The 4 zRam devices seems important, upon investigation there should be a zRam device for each enabled core, S3 has 4 cores, so unless you are disabling any of them all zRam profiles should really have 4 devices - lesson learnt!

Next, swappiness, to my opinion now, a high rating will make the device unnecessarily use zRam before it needs to, I think what I am looking for is that sweetspot of it occurring only when really required, 40 seems a good bet and I see other profilers using that value also, it seems good to me!

On this profile today, battery life has been epic! Considering this device is still running fully OC'd on CPU & GPU, today I have used bluetooth audio for 2 hours, played an hours worth of video content on mxplayer as well and half an hour of random phone usage with screen on.

Total screen on 1.5hours

1 Hour MXPlayer video

2 Hours A2DP bluetooth streaming

30 minutes of general phone use

Only 1/3 of my battery has been used :)

That would mean I could do a 36 hour period with 4.5hrs screen time, 3 hours video, 1.5hours messing around and probably a little more!

Screen shots and light user edition of my profile attached.

EDIT - Updated profile now attached!
