[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] what is Hard Voltage and Soft Voltage settings on your kernel? Could they be tweaked?

It maybe nice for non-original batteries and for prolonging original battery lifetime.

P.S. Can TricksterMod be used for additional tweaking or it leads to misconfiguration of this kernel so only aTweaks must be used?

Jst wanted to know if zram and swap is enabled by defalut in your kernel or not...if enabled how to disable it because there is no option to disable zram and swap in your atweaks app
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cangcan:
there is no zram in arter kernel..only vnswap..but from post above it seems that vnswap cause some problems..you may enable/disable vnswap on the atweaks app, if not mistaken in the last tab of atweaks..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Dark_bolt88:
It means there is also no swap function in the kernel...but there is vnswap..and Thank you for your quick answer i am gnna flash this kernel right now... :)

Just one more question again :p in boeffla kernel there is swappiness set to 60 by default so...i jst wanted to know if there is also swapiness set to 60 in arter kernel...or not...

[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]

I have formatted my internal storage as well as my system and cache and preload and flashed ArchiDroid 3.1 lollipop to see if the issue of this freezes persist. And unfortunately it still persists

Time taken for this irresponsive behaviour to occur again is roughly 3-4 hours (depending on the usage and how heavy it is

vnswap0 used was cramping up to a whopping 350 MB and even 400 MB (I have never reached such an amount before)

Looks like zRAM is better

Investigating boeffla kernel now. But it seems as solid as yours :)

Let's roll ...

[MENTION=5350333]Dark_bolt88[/MENTION]

Swappiness is set to 130 for vnswap0 to work properly, Don't ask me why :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GrayJack:
True only for AOSP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
A little test - version 4.0.1-test.

This test version changes the kernel scheduler's tunables from the well-known Desktop kernel; Liquorix.

For the adventurous ones, please try this and see if it makes any differences :)

http://arter97.iptime.org:8080/browse/tmp/arter97-kernel-4.0.1-test.zip
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Will it fix this bug of irresponsiveness and freeze after 4 hours of usage ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Nah, I don't think so :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Hey [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION], can I use your kernel on resurrection remix ROM? It's based on cyanogenmod 12 and in the op it says android 5.0 (I think only aosp, or other roms also?). Just want to be sure and safe. Better safe then sorry ;)

P.S. Does your kernel works on slimkat 8.0? For some reason some time ago it didn't work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Nees3:
Been using boefflas kernel and zram set to 800. I also encounter blackscreen with statusbar. Forces me to reboot also. So just that you know. I encounter it while surfing or even when unlocking the phone. Don't know why. But must be a memory thing. But what i'm trying to fix is the serious lag with the dailer. Phone starts ringing, but takes almost 5secs wakes up the phone so I can pick up the call.

Just installed the kernel now. Lets see how this thing works :)

[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION], i found something in latest 4.01 test..glitches in camera and sometimes stuck/cant connect camera..that cant connect camera is usual to me but this glitches is weird..dont know if its kernel related though..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Highly unlikely.

4.0.1-test don't touch anything related to the Camera.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cangcan:
or maybe its the app (snap camera) or maybe my old 2yrs8month battery is getting worn out and the voltage is not stable.. dont mind the problem then [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION].. :D

Hardswap on /preload partition testing..

This can be a replacement for vnswap that actually makes sense.

Let's hope this fixes some users with RAM issues....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cangcan:
but i think people who use repartition-aosp script will have problem since it shrinks down /preload partition smaller than 500mb..

currently using your kernel almost 7 hours and everything runs fine..no lag on phone call too..using pegasusq+ with -50mV
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Can someone pls answer my question in the earlier post? :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
They're doing it on their own risks.

And I don't think I should worry about it since it's set dynamically.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Dunno, but it should.

As long as they didn't change a whole lot of things on top of CM12.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
okay thanks mate. and what about slimkat 8.0? There were some problems as far as i know....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
I've used Android 4.4 Slimkat as a daily driver with my S3 a while back.

I cannot guarantee if it'll still work though.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:

[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] hi I use this kernel and as second rom CM 12 temasek. Every time I have to update the rom when install the new version I make wipe art and cache and install ( before that flash multiboot zip) but all ways have problems with something, every time I update the rom later have to reinstall from 0 becouse fail. What are the steps to do the upgrade of second rom? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] is there a way to check how much of the vnswap is used? There was such an an option for ZRAM in Boeffla (you could see how much SWAP was used -> ZRAM). Would be great if there is a program for that (i have also disk info, but i dont know which of the partitions is from/for vnswap).

Thank you in advance ^^

greets kaz
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Open up 'Terminal emulator' and type the following

cat /proc/swaps

You should see two numbers, where one is approximately 524k. The amount you used is the other number

This values are in KB so if you want to know them in MB divide each number by 1024

The 524k is the total size of vnswap0 "512 MB"
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Yep I already found it in Diskinfo as Swap. Forgot to restart the phone so it can go into effect xD

Thanks anyways ;)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
What is the best setting for swappiness when I use vnswap? I read somewhere the kernel would change it to 130 %, but usually it's only at 60 %. I change it then to 100 % manually. Is that correct? And another thing is, when I use arter97 kernel, for some reason on slimkat 8.0, all my saved WLAN access points are deleted sometimes. I have to restore them from a Titanium Backup every time. Any idea why my access points would be deleted?

Hope you can help me :)

Edit. : so I have some other problems.... First, vnswap doesn't really get full (always between 100 and 200 MB and normal memory gets full rather quickly) and my launcher gets kicked out of memory all the time, and also the system ui gets restated..... I hope someone can help me with this. Should I change some sysctl settings with ROM Toolbox Pro?

Greets kaz
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Open up terminal emulator

Type the following

su

echo 130 > /proc/sys/VM/swappiness

You should be fine now with vnswap0 :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Problems

Thanks mate :)

EDIT: I tried the terminal, but it's not working. It tells me "can't create.......no such file or directory"...

EDIT2: nevermind found a way to change the swappiness value to 130 with 3C Toolbox Pro in Expert mode and init.d script handling.

But i still have the other problems mentioned in my post earlier..... I really need a fix for those, because I want to use this kernel without any further problems (have enough problems with some modding stuff and Xposed.....)

I am sorry for bothering you guys with so many questions.

I just want to get more knowledge for problem solving like this one and some other stuff :)

greetings kaz
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
I never had a problem with this kernel except for the instant freeze and hangs that I get after about 4-5 hours of usage (aka 4-5 hours UpTime) and I guess it is related to the presence of vnswap0 instead of zRAM.

AFAIK after is trying to bring back zRAM and use preload as a swap partition also..

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Droidphilev:
Hi,

New to this. I got everything working. Thank you for that. I only have 2 question (i did searches but coudn't find any):

-"* Do not select data wipe on 2nd-ROM installation! 1st-ROM data might be lost instead."

Is this about "wipe 2nd rom's /data" in a Switch? Or is this about another way of wiping?

-"Share /sdcard"

What exactly is shared? not apps it seems. i Don't really see a difference when i en/disable this.

thaks in advance!!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Thx mate, always a nice job :thumbup:

Working perfectly fine and hard swap is working like a charm. Runs smoothly and Multitasking is also very good. Nothing more to say. Most of my problems are also solved now. And now I am happy with my 1,8 GHz OCed Galaxy S3 :D

P.S. [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] or other people who know this: is Lollipop using the preload partition? Or other ROMs based on it? And what is it used for?

---------- Post added at 17:09 ---------- Previous post was at 17:05 ----------

He means that with "do not select data wipe" directly from the second ROM, the data partition on the 1st ROM might get deleted. You have to use "wipe 2nd rom's /data" in aSwitch for that. Share SD card should, as far as I know, share the internal SD card of the 1st ROM with the second ROM, so you can actually share data between those two ROMs you use. I hope I could help you :)

Greetings kaz
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Droidphilev:
Thanks! Found the problem. I had to reboot. New question: if this setting is disabled: where is the "emulated sdcard" for 2cd rom saved? also in /data/arter97_secondrom?

Thanks for all the help. this is VERY nice!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
I guess so. It should be there :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Droidphilev:
ok, Thanks allot. Will start all over and will flash 2 Temasek builds just to stick with arter97's work :)

EDIT: it's in folder "0" on internal SD :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
nice to know that it is working flawlessly now.

can you please tell me the value of the swappiness in the latest 4.0.2 kernel ?

thanks!!

And AFAIK, only Bulldog74ts DN4 ROM is the only ROM to use the preload partition for apps

i don't think lollipop uses the /preload partition also. So now worries unless you are on DN4 :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Well I still use a swappiness value of 130 which still is loaded through an init.d script. And I think the normal value is still 60 (well it was 60 for me).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
4.0.2 now forces swappiness to 130.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
Atweaks? do we need an apk, or do you mean somewhere in the system settings?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sameer23:

But I tried to format it using Philz CWM and Temasek's Philz but its unable to format it..Luckily I still keep Archi's Philz CWM and it works..

[Galaxy S III Android Development] GrayJack:
I've heard about some similar problems when activating hardswapping at /preload in AGNI Kernel.

Similarly it was not possible to format /preload back in recovery.

Anyway flashing attached file in cwm helped. I think the same will be here.

Please note: it was tested on i9300 only!

Sure one must disable hardswapping in aTweaks before such flashing.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Bye Bye :)

i really feel sorry to say that, but i am out of the S3 community now.

Today, my old ****ty damn S3 got laggy as ever, and i got really really mad!! So i did everything from re-flashing the official firmware to low-formatting and repartitioning the phone, but no luck! This made me really angry as hell. So i

SMASHED

it really hard on the floor and cracked the screen into several slivers. I threw the phone really hard furiously on the floor to ...ehm... death! Mom was sad at first, but was satisfied after, saying "you now don't have to waste a hell of time checking your emails and playing with your toy and testing!!" :D :D :laugh:

My dad was happy also for the same reason, but refused my request to buy a new phone this year :(

He told that i need a 'rest' from technology, or you gonna smash the new phone!

So this is how it went, whether i liked it or not.

Now i am using a candy phone till the next year or something :cyclops: till the S820 is unvieled maybe :silly:

Anyways, Thanks to you all, and i wish you a happy upgrade this year, of course before throwing your phone hard! :D

Thanks [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] for the great kernel and for maintaining Temasek's ROM for us

Also thanks to [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] for the great ultra stable kernel

Thanks to [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] for developing the beasty ArchiKernel (good luck with your upcoming AK 2.0 series :good: ) and the excellent ArchiDroid series of ROM, it has always been the most optimized ROMs for our beloved S3.

Hope to see you in the future with S820 phones ;)

You have always been my family
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Mostafa,

You were a big part of this and it is hard to see you leaving the S3 Community! Especially because you helped me a lot with my problems, when i was beginning with S3 modding and testing/using arter97 kernel. And I want to thank you for all the help you gave me and others and wish you the best for the Future.

Goodbye mate :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] iceman0826:
user error? hehe my old ****ty s3 still rocks good as new, even though it was a second hand phone when i bought it. I'm a frequent flasher and i guess i haven't worn out yet the emmc of my S3. :laugh: Maybe that's what happened on the emmc of your S3 but i digress since it can withstand thousands of read/write cycles. i bet a faulty kernel got your S3 and permanently damaged it :(

anyway i'm on a long break on testing roms and kernels, since right now CM12 is still at it's infancy and Lollipop 5.1 wasn't incorporated yet on CM12.

My Current CM11+Arter's Kernel 4.0.2+F2FS+Dalvik (ART wasn't fully operational on CM11)+Viper4Android v2.3.4.0+EBSv4.0 (not Electronic Brake Lock System :p it's a system wide audio mod:good:) setup is still running smooth and silky :p

maybe Buy an Galaxy S6 as a replacement? i bet you'll have a second thought of throwing it when having that kind of phone :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
well i feel very happy :D

i had an ASV level of 2, so it was really bad!

Anyways, wish you have your upgrade nicely :)

and thanks [MENTION=5947016]kazuya_kun[/MENTION] for the kind words...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] iceman0826:
mine too ASV Lvl 2 :p, that's why i never bothered to undervolt :D though i did undervolt awhile ago and it was stable but upon seeing my daily battery usage comprised of 1month, compared to stock voltage, battery savings were the same :( and so i revert back to stock voltage. Maybe that was the reason why your phone got broken in the first place.

nah i'm not gonna upgrade my phone, as long as there's still a rom upgrade for S3 family :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cangcan:
mine is asv level 6..no problem on undervolting heavy or -100 even -125 on agnikernel before..but it still runs fine..but I can feel that the more I undervolt the faster my battery drains..overall my S3 is still rock even tho on upcoming end of may it will reach its 3rd birthday.. My only wish is my country sell zerolemon battery, thats all i need for now for my beloved S3..Im thinking of buying LG G3 too but who knows one day later i got lottery and may buy even latest arm64 device..I should just save some money first..anyway, S3 still can be considered mid range device for now and there are still many precious developer who still care for it..And thanks to all of them for not abandoning S3, but time will come sooner and we will move forward together and find another device when the developers move on too..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:

Always sad to see a regular user go. You learnt a lot, your contributions were very much appreciated by many users, and I'm thankful for the help you've given me, even though it's mostly indirect, haha. Whether you decide on skipping this generation of phones or not, I'm sure you'll make a great choice for your next device, because you have a lot of knowledge and insight into what makes a good phone.

I recently smashed my S3 screen too, although it was completely unintentional, luckily it was only the glass that smashed and I'm still able to use it :laugh:

Anyways, good luck on your next device and maybe I'll be seeing you again in another forum someday! We'll see how it goes :fingers-crossed:
