So.... The big question... Is the update uploaded already?? He hehe been using your kernel and the results have been very very nice
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Not yet. There needs some more working.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Playing with this kernel a few days now. It is amazing what is possible! I wonder: it seems that lollipop can't be flashed as second rom. Somewhere in the thread i found that only temasek build can be flashed to second rom. I tried that and it works. Still i have a problem as Xprivacy doesn't work on this rom. I tried with both original Xposed and 'temasek ready' Xposed. Both failed. My question: will it ever be possible to flash lollipop roms who use that "block" thing in their zip? or is there an easy way to change their update script so that they can be flashed as second rom?

thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Exynos deserves a smash, well done :)

I know you'll enjoy your future phone, hope to see you in the near future :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
I'll not maintain the multi-boot method now on.

However, there's a way of restoring 1st ROM into 2nd slot to install a block-based ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Droidphilev:
Ah, ok. I see. I guess you are refering to secrec.zip? I'll take a look again. I ignored it because i *think* it cannot be done with twrp. Or am i wrong about that?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
hey great man

will you buy a S810 device this year, or wait for S820 next year ?

i really hope to meet you again in my future-phone thread here :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Maybe, I don't know very well since I did not made it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
I'm stuck with i9506(S800) until November.

If S820 flagship is still yet to be announced then, I'll go with S810 and switch to 820 later.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] brooker88:
Is there any fully working ROM that have all partions formated to f2fs? to go with this kernel? My s3mini & nexus 7 are both fully formatted to f2fs but I can't find anything to do with s3. I was going to buy a s3 as I feel mini is too small but lack of f2fs is putting me off
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Darkened_Sky:
when i wrote it, I only tested the "nandroid to second rom method" with CWM. Meanwhile I am using TWRP but now I don't dualboot anymore :laugh: probably it won't work, as the backup type seems to be different from CWM. I am also not planing to rewrite the script...

otherwise you can also simply directly copy your first ROM to second ROM with the script. This method is completely independent from recovery.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] elhugo3:
Arter do you know another way to flash a block based rom as second rom? I like your kernel but can't flash this kind of block based roms.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GrayJack:
I ought to admit that now arter97 kernel is the best one for such a crap like i9300.

There was some problems with lags in past, but 4.0.2 it is really the best one can find.

Same - for the recovery.

Thanks to the developer.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Droidphilev:
Even better! If i can find out how this copying works i can keep on using TWRP :)

Thanks for all the help guys!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Hey [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] :)

do you consider updating the atweaks app for material design? Or do you plan to include any more options / settings to it?

Greetings kaz
[Galaxy S III Android Development] chester0:
After installing this kernel xposed wont install, is this known?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Yeah I have somehow the same problem. I tried to install xposed on my Lollipop Rom but it always says there wouldn't be enough space to install it. Although I have more then enough space to install it. Do you have the same problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] chester0:
Well when i install the zip (alpha2) it completes successfully, then when i reboot xposed is not installed. Before i was on CM12 weekly 7 stock kerner and had xposed installed fine. Then i installed alter97 kernel and xposed was disabled which i wound weird, and went to reinstall but it wont.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Uhm did you install the xposed apk (I guess you want to install it on a Lollipop Rom right?)? You also need the apk. Without it xposed won't work.

That should normally work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] chester0:
yes apk first always, i should have mentioned that, and yea on lolipop.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Hm strange. Well it is still alpha :) Don't expect it to work immediately.

Maybe try it with another kernel? The cause for this problem could be everything.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] chester0:
well it works on stock and boeffla kernel, thats why i found it wierd
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Droidphilev:
Hi,

4.0.2 working just fine with xposed and weekly CM12. I was wondering: since secrec can't make backups for TWRP: can the files inside secondrom folder be copied manually? i tried this but it seems that *something* ruined second rom doing this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Hm... well i have also some problems with arter kernel and my configuration. The issues could also be caused, because i am modding my firmware "too much" (especially with xposed.... xD). and the kernel can't handle it with some stuff. Dont know really :/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
hey guys!

I am searching for a cleaning script for arters kernel. Somewhere in this thread was a cleaning script, but for some reason it is not working anymore..... i forgot what files i needed to delete before flashing another kernel. I recently bought a second Galaxy S3 for testing purposes and want to change kernels and stuff and it is hard with arter kernel (which is, on a side note, is very good, because the kernel survives a lot) :(

Someone can help me? Or which files i need to delete and other stuff (i want to clean flash a new kernel, so i don't have new problems....) :)

greetings kaz
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
okay, i don't remember what files needed to be deleted, but the most important one is a file with the path /system/addon.d/97-kernel.sh

this file almost will not let you get any kernel flashed successfully except boeffla kernel, because of its way of installing that does not interfere with any kernel, but it gets restored after installing any ROM.

so go to /system/addon.d and delete the 97-kernel.sh file BEFORE flashing any kernel

and i don't think that anything else should be deleted. Maybe the aTweaks and aSwitch, but they won't cause any problem :)

cheers
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
thank you mostafa. even after your S3 died you still help us :D

Great ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
yeah that's one of my favorite threads, so i can't just leave it!!

and maybe that is kinda disappointing for some people, but i will get the S6/edge if my dad accepts my apology (and all my money will go :/ )

i like the new UI of Sammy ( do i have to feel ashamed when saying that ? :D )
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
No you don't have to to be ashamed xD

In case you get the S6: Have fun with it! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] robert018:
Why no S810 Mustafa? :D

Robert.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
exynos 7420 seems more future-proof

and S810 IS overheating

IMO the only reason i buy a flagship phone, is because i change the phone every 2-3 years (and mostly a 3-year cycle)

so i need a phone that will remain the best for a period not less than 6-8 months and can hold it for at least 2 years.

The S3 was in my eyes a real king once i bought it, and i saw a massive change between it and its predecessor S2 [dual core --> quad core, 512 MB RAM --> 1 GB RAM, 720p screen] so i bought it!!

the phone was tremendously fast and snappy until Sammy ruined it with their ****ty 4.3 update... and from here starts the lags, freezes and bugs!

Also they ruined their phone cycle, when they announced the note 2 after it by 4 months.

I know i swore that i won't buy a Sammy product again, but i see them made a huge difference

Sammy has got the best SoC up till now, as well as the fastest storage in the mobile world

They trimmed down and re-coded their UI (i know that it is still 'similar' to yesteryear's TouchWiz, but it is snappy and much faster than it!)

they changed their design (finally!)

Camera is quite good as well

phone is made more usable with removing all this damn bloatware

i like the looks of it! That is all what i can say :D

And also i don't think i might need the open-source advantage that is found in the S810. It is already in a bad situation.

IMO if the phone is good and fast enough, and you like the looks of it, then changing to CM is pointless.

Maybe i will root it to get my hands on Xposed for some minimal tweaking or maybe tuning the kernel modestly (underclocking for better battery ;) ). I won't even change to another ROM until the arrival of the next S flagship.

Yeah i know i am going into a cave when it comes to developing in the AOSP world, but i need a phone that i can depend on W/O almost any Mods, not a play toy!!

But all of that may not happen. Only one man can make the decision. Only one man that can make me free to get my hands on the Sammy beast , or make me wait like a hound for the next year. My Father!!

Sorry for long post :angel: But i wanted to express my opinion why did i return to Sammy once again, after i was swearing not to do so :D

Cheers

and happy upgrading to you all :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] iceman0826:
Well you could but two phones :D

One for your daily use (I suppose it will be the GS6)

and the other for your daily experimentations (I suppose any phones that use S820)

But still if you want to experience audiophile sound on your phone, i prefer Sammy Phones that runs by Exynos SOC since they use latest wolfson dac for audio, unlike Snapdragons series who only rely on on-board audios in their soc which is mediocre (but good enough if used with viper4android).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
i am not that rich :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Maplobats:
Does anybody else have vnswap not being applied in 4.02? I am on arter's CM12 nightlies (doesn't apply on any of them) with full wipe.

When I check 'cat /proc/swaps' there is nothing. On 4.00 I can see vnswap useage this way.

I did have a custom init.d script as well as my own sysctl.conf which I thought could be interfering. But I got rid of them, and still no vnswap being applied. The hardswap works, but I can't vnswap to work.

Anyways, wondering if it is only me....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Next version will fix it. Sorry!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GrayJack:
I always love such posts.

I can remember one my friend who spent a lot of bucks buying HiEnd components to build a supersystem for... playing mp3 files and pirated CDs.

Guys, make a decision: do you want a smartphone or a good player? Frankly speaking I cannot find a difference between two chips as well as between kernels (sure if equalizer is tweaked in the same way) neither with Koss PortaPro, nor with Sennheiser PMX60 (not taking into account personal difference between these headphones).

Maybe one uses smartphone to play FLACS of classic symphonies, but I'd prefer to browse Internet, open documents and make calls as well as play some games sometimes.

After comparison of old Snapdragon and old (but same as old as previous one) Exynos - I will never buy anything Exynos-based in future. Such a crap...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] blue_moon:
im using blekota Note 4 rom. What kernel i have and how can i tweak it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
then i will be waiting for S820 then.

S810 is a no-go

it is overheating

do you agree with me ?

S820 will be a beast, i am sure

however let's see what the LG G4 and Xperia Z4 will bring up to us ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
The back-to-n00t default kernel.

There's not much to tweak around, that kernel is not for this thread.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Trust me, even if it DO overheat, it'd be way better than Exynos 4 series. LOL

If LG G4 comes out with S810, LG will come with another sub-series phone with S820 later on.

Sort of like how my i9506 is S800 when i9505 is S600.

I'll do too, get G4 sub-variant with S820, but I don't know if it'll sell globally.

Dunno if you guys know this, but there is already a "LG G3 Cat.6" phone on Korea with LTE-A Cat.6 & S805.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Offtopic much? :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] iceman0826:
well i prefer my device to have the best audio, good enough gpu to run most of the games (rpg/racing games, but probably i'll wait for Mali-T880) this saves me the trouble of buying a music player and carrying multiple devices in my pockets. in case you are wondering

GSMArena Audio Quality Test

Samsung Galaxy S3 International (Wolfson DAC): -90.3 Noise Level, 90.3 Dynamic range, minimal distortion, -92.6 Stereo Crosstalk

Samsung Galaxy S3 U.S. (Qualcomm DAC): -82.3 Noise Level, 82.3 Dynamic range, minimal distortion, -78.4 Stereo Crosstalk

The Wolfson DAC wins across the board in terms of cleanest audio quality when connected to either headphones or an external amplifier.

I'm sorry but my suggestions were for users who had discerning set of ears (audiophile) otherwise S820 is your buddy.

Ok we can now go back to arter97's kernel. :)

until then Exynos and S800 series can wait^^
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
well if it is global, then i will get it

if not, then i will wait for another S820 phone

and yeah any S810 phone will be a huge upgrade from E4412 :p

you can say, its human nature that makes him always demanding the best ;)

btw, do you have any predictions when will S820 phones launch ?

i guess Q3/Q4 2015
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Q4 2015 or 2016.. maybe.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zapty:
Well , i would recommend you to buy motorola , i.e moto x , because my brother has a moto x 1st gen and i have a nexus 5 ,moto x defeats my n5 and also my friends One pus one on cm12 also my nexus 7 , i just couldn't defeat it's consistency , battery , performance and overall use.

Also they are development friendly devices so it would be the best choice.

New Moto x having s801 would most probably beat most of the phones out there because Motorola's software is highly optimized !!

So buy moto x or droid turbo in my opinion !!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Changing kernel / Deleting arter problem

Hey guys :)

I still have a problem. [MENTION=5060769]Mostafa Wael[/MENTION] [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] ;) I deleted the necessary files to change the kernel, but when i delete the files and also use the old Cleaning script (better safe then sorry) and then try to install lets say boeffla (performance tests etc.), it doesnt work. My system won't boot up for some reason. Someone got any idea? Deleting Dalvik and other stuff do not works unfortunately. Maybe there is something I didn't noticed?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
did you use the preload swap feature in the newest kernel version ?

then you have to disable the preload swap feature in aTweaks before removing the kernel and then in the recovery before doing anything format the /preload then install whatever kernel you want

i guess that is the reason ;)

and for teasers, i may fix my phone temporarily till i get the new phone in 2016 (S820 phone)

as my nokia c3-01 has some problems. So i am going to fix a phone anyways, so i chose to fix the newer S3 rather than the old c3

of course that is from my budget ( my money)

I can't resist looking at the thread without flashing the newest kernel from here

also i am very excited for your newer kernel v5.0 arter :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
okay thanks mate, gonna check that later :)

But I had also several crashes and got some log files. I checked some of them and it looks like that my phone does not like 1,8 Ghz too much maybe. Not sure however (could be also undervolting and i dont really how to read and understand several things in this logs). Because my Phone crashes sometimes very often..... I hope i can help you to make the kernel more stable with my logs (if you even have time for that). Would be great if someone else also could take a look at them. More opinions, more info :D

greetings kaz
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
i guess that's arter's secret stuff ;)

but i will try to read them :)

for starters, overclock your phone only to 1.6 GHz and use stock voltages
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Haha i guess so ;D

well the funny thing is, that i always OCed up to 1,7 Ghz without problems with undervolting and it runs stable for a very long time (over half a year now). I do the same up to 1,8 Ghz and it runs fine, but after some time it freezes. I guess my Phone cant handle 1,8 Ghz for a long period of time OR i should give it more voltage. Not sure however. And i really need the overclocking, because i am a performance dude xD

I will test several things and then reply. Might take some days for full testing of everything. I have a full program for this weekend with my S3 :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
maybe because your phone was much stronger when it was young, but now it needs some rest :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
haha yeah could be it ;)

I will test all things and right now it looks like my phone freezes only when i use 1,8 Ghz.

Testing, testing and more testing and at the end the conclusion. Thats how i work xD

I even bought extra a second S3 for testing purposes. Both of my S3 have an ASV Value of 2 and both can be OCed up to 1,7 Ghz without problems and even with undervolting (both have exact the same Voltage/Frequency Values). Lucky with that ASV value xD
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
1.6 is the maximum OC clock I recommend.

I haven't seen any S3 devices that can run 1.7+ stable.

And btw, wiping /system and installing the entire ROM back is always recommended when switching.

Thanks for the log btw.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] george stamatos:
Mostafa. .. still here ? Yesterday I bought an S4 9505 ... not an 9506 as [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION], although I was thinking to, just to follow arter, but not much development there as for 9505. It's used in perfect condition, and it's Snapdragon, not crapy Exynos ...

I'm loving it so far.. Let's see. ..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Well my S3 runs stable with 1,7 GHz OC :) and thanks for the help ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
ohh that's good news to hear

well my dad has asked me whether:

1- fix the screen of the phone and wait a year (S820)

2- hang on with a usable phone (like the Nokia C3-01 that i have now) till June and get a new phone (S810 HTC One M9 most probably)

my personal choice is number 2

what do you think ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] george stamatos:
In Greece we say " it's better to take 5 NOW ,than 10 later" ... so ... i vote for option 2..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Maplobats:
I'd vote for number 1 personally. There are some big advancements (both hardware and software) coming this year, and waiting a bit longer until some bugs, etc. get sorted out seems like a good idea.

I also kind of want to wait and see which devices some of my favourite devs will be working on ;) So my plan is to try to hold out until Q4 of this year.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] robert018:
Go for no 2, and good luck ;)

Robert.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GrayJack:
Old question: why don't you add 1.5 OC clock in aTweaks?

It's interesting because I CAN set 1.5 using Trickster for instance, and actually it WORKS with 1.5 as maximum, but aTweaks still shows 1.6 as set :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
No big reason.

Multipliers of 2 just makes me comfortable..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
and get a Q2 device ?

actually i am more or less doing the same thing, but a bit earlier ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
i went to the service center now, and i know a friend there. He will fix my S3 for me for half the price :D

So i will be back in a few days [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] how is the progress with the arter97 kernel v5.0 ?

i see very stunning results with your ks01lte on your twitter

BTW, my twitter account is the one that asked you about the M9 :)

thanks [MENTION=1211895]kaza[/MENTION]ya_kun i ain;t going anywhere :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
WOW great news mate :D

I am glad to see you back :)

And whats about arter kernel v5.0? I didn't see any news about it (i am not on twitter that much).

greetings kaz

P.S. my name is kazuya not kazaya xD
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
sorry i was so thrilled ;)

well arter has a new 'rebased' kernel

which takes advantages of some new Sammy sources that does massive improvements for CM12
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
haha its alright mate ;)

hm okay. Lets see how long it takes until the new rebased kernel will be published. I hope it will be soon [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] ;)

And hopefully all the old functions will stay. It should be faster and more stable then the momentary kernel right?

greetings kaz ^^
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Whoops, drop all those hypes!

Rebased 5.0 kernel is meant for S4 LTE-A/Note 3/S5..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
and won't we get some love ? :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
We'll get the love when Samsung release Note 2 Lollipop sources.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
ahh, i got ya

BTW, will android 5.1 arrive to our devices? i am just asking. Not meaning for hurry :D

also i saw that Android 5.1 does not have those memory leaks fixed, and is going to be fixed in a latter 5.1.1 update

so android 5.1 won't make any differences ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Lots and lots of internal stuffs would have been revamped.

Several memory leaks would have gotten fixed etc.

And I see no reason why our i9300 won't get CyanogenMod 12.1(13).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] robert018:
Yes, lollipop 5.1 is probably coming soon to our device as Omni Rom already released 5.1 for i9300 and it's super smooth, but some bugs are still to fix :D

Robert.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Version 4.0.3 is now available :)

4.0.3

Issues with swap configurations fixed

Misc SELinux logs improved

Compiler and linker updated
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sameer23:
Your kernel will work with Omni 5.1 or no?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fonfox:
[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] what are the advantages of your recovery http://arter97.iptime.org:8080/browse/S3/kernel/xda/recovery/arter97-recovery-4.0-philz_touch_6.59.0.zip

i used it with GTI9300

especially there is wipe dalvik/art does this wipe art ??

Thanks for your great work
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Nothing else but a proper f2fs support.

And yes it does wipes ART along side dalvik cache.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
thanks a lot :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION], how does your kernel's flashable zip work?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pavel73:
Can someone explain me how to multiboot lp and kk ? please ?!! CM12 and Bletoka Note 4 v4
