I have random reboots into recovery with the latest beta and CM12
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Arthedes:
Me too i had to roll back to stock kernel for my cm12 rom

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nazfalas:
The information was incorrect:

When you dirty flash a ROM the boot partition is overwritten with the boot.img included in the update ZIP.

You need to re-flash the custom kernel after flashing a ROM update.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Darkened_Sky:
depends on the used ROM. if it is a ROM supporting addon.d scripts then it is not needed to reflash the kernel after a dirty flash as a method similiar to this is installed when the kernel is flashed for the first time.

BTW I cannot really understand the problems that are recently reported here. With beta6 I have nearly no problems anymore on temasek CM12 v5.5. The freezes have disappeared and there are only sometimes some lags (but I would consider them for "normal") and for me there are absolutely no sudden reboots!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Arthedes:
Well for me the problem is that I'm on RR 5.2.9, which is CM12 based, and with beta 6 the device gets really hot, the CPU is busy all the time, switching from app to app is really slow and some apps even crash and I even get some random reboots! It's practically unusable.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cangcan:
it runs fine on my RR v5.3.1 too..:thumbup:

thank you arter..love your kernel..with beta6 i will dual boot two cm12 rom oyeah..

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Arthedes:
Hmmm ill try it with 5.3.1 then :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ~DemonLord~:
Problems persist after beta 6 update for me. Heavy lags and freezez. Works great out of the box but after a while starts slowing particularly when memory gets filled. Reboot fixes it but i found out clearing memory and all tasks does the same job, seems there is a problem with memory management, some lmk settings that may need tweaking since memory freed for new apps causing freezes, this is what i think. Running Blekota v3.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Summary of Problems

Well after some research and all the infos you people write in here, i came to the conclusion, that:

1) : Its a RAM problem.

2) : Its mostly only on Lollipop ROMs.

3) : It still can be the Memory Leaking Problem Google mentioned and should be already [fixed] (Link to Google Code Site)

4) : Its more or less not arters fault (or the Kernels fault), because other Kernels have the same problem.

5) : Its an Android (AOSP) Problem.

So.... yeah. I guess we have to wait, until Google COMPLETELY fixes the Memory Leakage or very good custom ROM devs or other people fix this by themselves and release a fix for others.

Otherwise there is nothing more to mention. I just listed everything in this post, so other people can see and know everything within a glance :)

I hope it helps you guys ;)

greetings kaz
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Well i am using arter97 kernel v4.0-beta6 on Sammy-based ArchiDroid 1.7.18 and it is blazing fast!!!

Really love it!!

And memory management is fine also, no freaking lags, no freezes, no "mmcqd/0" issues.

AnTuTu scores my phone at a 28778 "it used to be 27k on stock ROMs" which is more than great on a ROM with almost full Sammy bloat loaded.

I guess that latest kernel is doing its job greatly, and the left "mmcqd/0" bug and freezes present is a lollipop issue, as Moster2 declared that these memory management issues is to be solved by implementing zswap of a size of 250 MB by default

So, thanks [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] for the latest update :good: :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ~DemonLord~:
Does not explain why im experiencing similar problems on Blekota note 4 rom. Its like memory leaks have started here.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinodr5371@xdaroms.co.in:
[MENTION=663773]arter[/MENTION] can u make this kernel for i9500 please…
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
can u donate me one please...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Well is that a Lollipop based ROM? If yes, then it is most probably the memory leakage problem. If not.... Well I also experienced same problems (lags and freezes and stuff) on kitkat based ROMs sometimes.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ~DemonLord~:
Yeah its sammy 4.4.4 kk. I think it just have something to do with a dirty flash but dirty flashing kernels has never been a issue for me. But i think LMK settings may need tweaks [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] . Memory is not being cleared leading to lags.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bruno$0:
Hey guys, i have a doubt. I installed this kernel but i saw that my phone sometimes gets lags to open all programs. I wanna improve my battery life. What the best setup to gets a better battery life ( Cpu governor and i/o scheduler )? And maybe the bets setup for voltage for 200 Mhz and 800 Mhz. Thx
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ivegottheskill:
Great kernel arter97, not many kernels with the Mali drivers out there

Unfortunately on the current v4.0 beta 6 when I make a call, the recipient can hear me, but I can't hear them - the phone speaker doesn't seem to work at all. I'm using SlimKat 4.4.4 version 9 (final).

Also, I have had a couple of random freezes / reboots when the screen turns off and i hit the home button or power button to turn it back on - so far this seems to be when it's plugged in to charge.

Finally, is there a way to cleanly uninstall or roll-back to another kernel? I tried to install Boeffla from arter97 (so I could make calls), but it doesn't boot properly - not even making it to the boot animation. The only way I've found is to format system and reinstall the ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] iceman0826:
+1 from this. This happened to me too, i plug my phone, screen off then upon turning back on the screen., my phone was on off charging state as if i shutdown entirely my phone.

plus, when i connect my phone to computer for file transfer the phone storage will mount if the phone screen is on, otherwise if i turn off the screen, MTP will get disabled. this is from a freshly flashed rom (full wiped).

using other kernel these issues we're non-existent. i'm just wondering why these recent kernel updates we're some kind of an regression.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Galactic_Jack:
Wi-Fi Issues

I'm having issues accessing wifi APs.

I'm running ArchiDroid 3.0.2 and I've tried the original ArchiKernel, the arter97(3.1, 3.11, 4.0beta6) and the boeffla 2.5 kernel and I can't seem to get wifi to configure properly.

I can see APs, I can save passwords for them, but it'll blip for a second saying it's "connecting" then suddenly go away saying it saved the password.

I'm not sure if this is related to the fact that I can only use the rev2 of the kernel converter for SHW-M440S (rev3 just freezes before boot on every kernel - except the arter97 of course!) or if this is a ROM issue with ArchiDroid. I'm just trying to cover all my bases at this point.

Otherwise, I get a good connection to my 3G and mobile signal and it's crazy fast for 1 GB of RAM.

Can you please advise?

***UPDATE***

I flashed the arter97 2.0 RC 10 kernel and it works great - no signal/wi-fi issues, runs like a dream, although it does run pretty hot (usually stays stuck on 1400mHz, which is unlike the others) which I've managed to mediate by changing the CPU governor to ZZMOVE

I'm a bit curious though why I might be having problems with the 3.1/4.0 kernels and the converters and if there are any plans to bang out a fix for the wifi? Then again, maybe there's something I'm doing wrong on my end.

Props to p33k for giving me a lot of help on this from the get go.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bolt890:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wyneg:
Hi, [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]!

Is it still better kernel included in back to noot v6 or 4.0-beta6? What means SHV-E210S_KK_Opensource_Update2.zip merged? Compatibility with back to noot v6? Or...?

Thank you, take care ;)

please take a look at them
[Galaxy S III Android Development] vinodr5371@xdaroms.co.in:
There is not arter tweak tool in v6,how to get that?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Funny, both panics were caused by vnswap, which I haven't been playing around with its source code.

Maybe I should totally revert memory managements' upstreaming(3.0.31 -> 3.0.101)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Wait :eek:

I remembered now

I flashed this kernel on top of Devil3.4_0.5.3 kernel, which I guess uses vnswap0 too. So that may be the cause of this panic ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
I don't think switching from another kernels can cause such issues..

Hi , i use your kernel with a 2nd ROM. How make wipe dalvik and cache of 2 ROM to install an update ? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Darkened_Sky:
use aswitch app which was flashed together with the kernel. There you have an option to wipe the individual second rom's partitions.

otherwise you can also delete the partitions which are located in /data/arter97_secondrom/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] elhugo3:
Thanks a lot .will try
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Darkened_Sky:
oh wait I have misread. you can delete cache the way I have described, but for dalvic cache you can delete the files inside /data/arter97_secondrom/dalvik-cache/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] elhugo3:
I hope i do it ok je
[Galaxy S III Android Development] elhugo3:
All go wrong, I reboot in 1st rom, do the wipes in a switch, reboot in recovery and flash update of rom. Reboot in 2nd rom but freezes in all apps and all lab a lot. Have to delete all 2nd rom. Something I do wrong. Thanks anyway
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Hey guys,

I saw arter97 tweet saying that lollipop users are advised to

" Remove /system/bin/bootanimation "

as it has a memory leak problem that causes the system to be unstable for the whole time. So any volunteers here ? Has anybody tried it and succeeded ?

And of course have your backup so if there is something wrong, you are in safe hands ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sameer23:
I removed it but no changes found

But this kernel is unstable
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:

I am running it on back-to-n00t V6 and it is awesome.

That is strange. Why is it only me enjoying the beauty of this kernel ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Cygnuss:
great kernel, nice work :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] iceman0826:
how about the issues being reported awhile ago? seems it wasn't fixed.

- sudden reboot while charging (screen-off)

- MTP not working when screen-off (connected to pc)

- random lags

i'm using devil kernel as of now and non of these issues where present. i've flashed kernels from a clean wipe.

so yeah seems unstable as of this version

Hi, I use this kernel with dual boot and try to install resurrection remix, slim pop, cr droid as second rom and I can't. Have error in system when is installing. I saw in system folder of that roms and have only 1 or 2 files, no apps and nothing. How I can install this roms as second? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sameer23:
Same here I am running RR LP 5.3.4
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Darkened_Sky:
not possible as they have block based flashing method. Only ROMs with "old fashioned" zips can be flashed as second ROM. Only Lollipop ROM I know which could be flashed as second ROM would be Temasek ROM (maintained by arter97).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
And CM12 nightlies.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I may sound stupid, but is it possible to dual boot KK with LP as main ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DestroyerBruh:
yes why not

but if you use LP as second rom it shouldn't be block based otherwise you can't flash it
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
The last time I tried, it wouldn't boot. Hence my question. I had installed Arter kernel and recovery, flashed the 2nd ROM zip tool, flashed the second ROM.

also how about using 'Wifi multicast filter' that can help with the battery ? :)

As far as I know it's not ZRAM anymore. It's vnswap (or vnram) now. Look for those kind of settings.

kernel 4.0 beta 6 support cm12 by archi?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zapty:
No brother vnswap is somthing which Samsung uses in its touchwiz roms , that is availible in atweaks while as zRam is what this kernel has activated by default according to O.P but cannot be configured by the user , so adding setting for "zRam" will allow the user to configure it ... :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
The op wasn't updated for a while I guess. Arter97 changed from ZRAM to vnswap which can also be used by other roms now thanks to him :) maybe check older posts in this topic? I am pretty sure he changed it. I think Mostafa is using vnswap on a custom ROM. Not sure (I am tired right now (can't really think :/) ).

[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]

Thanks for the update man. Now using it and it is snappy and fast.

I just wanted to tell you about something I have discovered, and I think it is the main cause of the problems for people saying that this kernel is unusable and laggy. It is the swappiness value. I have found out that when the swappiness is set to the abnormal 130%, vnswap0 works correctly. But if the swappiness is set to the 'traditional' 60%, it is as if the vnswap0 is not there. I guess you also declared of such a fact, when there was a big head (well I can't remember his name sorrily) making a wonderful debate about the vnswap0 and zRAM, and that was present in your S4 also. So now, my request is to put an "init.d" script or anything that sets the swappiness automatically to 130 once the kernel is flashed. I usually use this command

su
echo 130 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

after each boot to ensure that everything is alright and set up.

So can you please take a look in it ?

Thanks for the update :)

Ohh and BTW, I really depend on the vnswap0 on your lollipoped temasek CM12 V7.6, I now have it filled to a tremendous "234 MB" :D :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
You're saying my kernel does not use 130 as swappiness?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zapty:
[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] , Samsung released the update_15.zip source , of course some changes would have been made , these can be used with the e210s kernel sources that you use in this kernel . Those original i9300 changes might be helpful.. Can you look into it ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
No, what i mean is that when someone flashes the kernel on top of another kernel "boeffla for my case" or there is another kernel tuner app "like kernel tweaker" it will set it back to 60%
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Oh, I wasn't aware of it.

I'll do compare between 14 & 15, but I doubt anything would be valuable since it's JB.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Um, in such cases those kernel tweaker app would case more troubles other than swap.

Users should remove those.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zapty:
Thanks , yes i know its JB but who knows there might be some useful change . Also can you tell me what changes where there in update_15 after comparing? That would be appreciated .. Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ettore88:
Sorry[emoji6]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andip71:
Impossible. If Boeffla kernel is not installed, absolutely nothing will get configured by my Config app.

In fact, my app does nothing if it doesn't find Boeffla Kernel. Even all settings are applied by my kernel during boot... So impact on other kernels flashed later is zero.

Exfat drivers + some netfilter stuff.

Quite minor and nothing important.

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zapty:
Ohh ! Well , Samsung will never change :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Okay, seems like that "kernel tweaker [ROOT]" App is causing this conflict. And yes I remembered that your kernel has a different way of getting installed and has no impact on other kernels flashed before or after your kernel.

Sorry for late reply, my internet band with was finished, so I waited till today till it is renewed :) :o

Dual-Boot Stock 4.3 and CM12

Hello ... First of all, thank you for this wonderful kernel.

*Is is possible to dual-boot stock 4.3 and cm12 ? using the procedures in the first post will do?

*Another thing is how can I remove the second rom ?

Thanks in advance

Device info : i9300 running Ressurection Remix
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Okay, this kernel is awesome. But I have a problem that shows up after some time of usage and multitasking

One of my habits is that I lock the screen on the browser, I.e. press the power button to lock the screen without exiting the browser app and resume after a minute or too. The problem is sometimes when I want to turn on the screen, it lags like hell and I hardly pass the lock screen. After I unlock the phone, the browser scrolling lags terribly and then it comes to a complete freeze. I press the home button in attempt to exit from this situation but I goes to a black screen with only the status bar visible "and CoolTool at the top" and of course I hold the power button till it force reboots and start over again...

Please [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] tell me what should I do to help you identify the problem ? Last_kmsg ?

Thanks for this snappy kernel

Ohh and I am using vnswap0 with temasek 7.6
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
I should probably think a way back to zRam.. hmm.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Well vnswap gives me more multitasking, example, when I open the inbox app and then go to a link in the email and then go back to the inbox app.

With zRAM, it gets killed and restarted

With your vnswap0, it stays as it is and that is really great

There are other examples but that is what I remember :)
