Dear [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION],

looks like there is a bug in your latest Philz recovery 6.57.5.

I am trying to make custom backup to external card and I have chosen only following parts:

boot
recovery
system
preload
data
cache
modem

So boot, recovery and system were performed OK, but I have a constant hanging on some "com.android.opengl.shaders_cache" file while backing up data partition.

In a same time official Philz Recovery 6.48.4 for GT-i9300 has no such problem and works OK (but in the same time I cannot use Aroma Filemanager for /data/data - it hangs on with that version and works OK with yours).

Possibly you will be kind enough to build a new recovery, possibly with latest Philz sources?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
which governor did you test with?

the problem is with interactive/intelliactive/ondemand governors along with intelliplug... if you haven't tested with those, please test with those. just choose any one of them and choose any intelliplug profile (balance for instance) and test it.

i can not manage to download AD 1.7.18 due to speed issues...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Can you confirm if the official PhilZ Touch recovery works?

(3.2 will come along with the latest PhilZ source)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dash87:
Hey Mostafa I wanted to run some battery numbers by you. Last night phone was at 99% and I turned the screen off and didn't turn on until 8.5 hours later. Phone dropped to 87%. I was using intellective gov. With eco hot plug, touch boost off, and 128/256 memory tweak. I also left GPS high accuracy and sync and WiFi on. Does that sound normal for percentage loss?

**side note. If I have hot plug enabled I get the reboot when making and receiving voice calls :confused:

Sent from my SHV-E210S
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hansonchen:
I used pegasusq/pegasusq+ only. I've changed to agni & getting good results, unable to test.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Well with sync, wifi and gps turned on expect battery loss of course

By simple calculation, this is approximately 1.4%/hour which is great!

I lose something like 1.2%/hour ONLY while turning off the flight mode... However if you thing this is unusual, grab a BBS log. Maybe some apps are on sync.

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 AM ----------

@arter97

Did you manage to know/fix any of the following issues?

-1- zRAM (that is the most important for me :D )

-2- deadlock

-3- encryption

No eta just asking for progress ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Grimzee:
Love this kernel so far, thankyou very much [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]

I flashed it and made a nandroid backup in cwm shortly after, rebooted and lost the kernel.. Flashed it again and all has been fine since
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
zRAM is working?

I set it to 500 MB (Max available in aTweaks)

What's your opinion ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Um.....????
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GrayJack:
Yes I do, and actually I did it in previous post:

P.S. And sure I cannot confirm 6.57.9 is free from all these problems because this recovery doesn't exist yet for my device.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Can anyone confirm deadlock during phone calls also happen on 2.2 with interactive?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rascal0pl:
I'm on your kernel since first public release, and I never seen deadlock on your kernel. It sometimes happens on agni, but not on your kernel (both TW and CM roms). I'm using interactive.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] huzzam:
Thanks for your replies, Arter & Mostafa!

The only way to disable encryption is a full wipe / factory reset, and honestly, device encryption is important to me because I travel internationally in places that are not particularly democratic or respectful of human rights. So I'll eagerly await a version of the Arter kernel with encryption support, and meanwhile I'm running fairly stably with the Boeffla kernel... (though the Arter design philosophy does appeal to me).

I really appreciate the time you both took to reply.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
okay,

i am downloading another ROM to be tested (named "Dirty Unicorns")

Once I download it i will install version 2.2 and try with interactive & intelliactive & OnDemand with intelliplug and without intelliplug.

That will be after ~1 hour due to slow speed here.

Will post here as soon as i finish testing :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
You're one of a kind that I've met up here in XDA.. lol

I'll make sure about the encryption later :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Thanks but erm.. did I made it possible for the users to switch intelliplug? :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Yes you have allowed users to disable intelliplug. There is a "Disable" profile.

Concerning the test, interactive worked with and without intelliplug flawlessly in the call. No deadlocks no nothing on v2.2

Hope you found out the root cause of this wicked bug!

GPU controls

Hi Arter..

Im sure this would've been requested many times before and due to various reasons you didn't agree on exposing the GPU voltage and frequency interface to users. Howeve thre are many users including myself who effectively use GPU oc and uv and it works by obviously reducing load temps by a lot and also may be by shelling sime mili watts.. Eg. Mali 400 on default runs at 440Mhz where as its native frequency is 533Mhz and our device is more than capable of running it on that frequency even with a huge uv. All other major kernels support that and 533Mhz is enabled as default.

This is not meant to be a a complaint or anything just a mere request hope you would respond positively. This is the only feature which is lacking on your kernel. If you add that this will be very much a complete kernel. Ive been a rock solid boefflea kernel user for ages. I try our your kernel once in a while as it has new features and master calibration. I find your kernel also to be very stable at the current form. Kudos for your work.:good:

//nkirk
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Aw.. dang it..

thanks! XD
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
I'll consider it later.

Last time when my kernel had GPU OC/uV, it was unstable as heck.

I remember yank555-lu saying "don't submit a bug report if you're tweaking around GPU"
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MD500:
I want this but i must assume the risk! (Make this on your own risk!)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Grimzee:
Just make sure you make a backup
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MD500:
Exacty! A backup! And bootloader(sdcard mode rescue) and efs backup

Enviado desde mi GT-I9300 mediante Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Grimzee:
Usually just a nandroid backup is what i do and is fine
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
I'll be busy for next few days(or weeks) with my S3 kernel & LG G Watch..

Bringing back-to-n00t support for my kernel is my priority for now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nkirk:
Ok. Thanks for your interest. Just refer Andi, his GPU implementation is known to be very stable. I personally can guarantee on that.

Eagerly awaiting for GPU interface support on your kernel....

//nkirk
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
It varies from the device.

Mine was terrible while my friend was fine.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Testing :

Please install the kernel here:

http://arter97.com/test/

And use interactive governor.

Please see if 1 or 2(or both) is fine with call deadlocks.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
will download.

just wanna ask, is it compatible with "back-to-n00t" ? or not yet?

will test when i am back home after a couple of hours...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Not yet and that's a sort of version 2.5.

Based on 2.2 and has some commits from 3.0.

And the development version 3.2 has back-to-n00t covered :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Both are working here... Interactive + conservative/Eco intelliplug.

Tested twice. Once after boot and once after some deep sleep.

Test1 then Test2.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Thanks..!

(Still have no idea on root cause)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PodGom:
3.1 works fine for me with "Back to N00t". Is it only me?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
You shouldn't. Read the back-to-n00t OP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
I am afraid i am giving different faulty results than yours.

Now i will be using 2.2-test-2 for a day or too on interactive with conservative intelliplug

And check if i encountered any issues or not.

Hope you figure it out.

Btw is interactive + conservative a good balance between performance and battery life? Or we can use a more battety life tweaked intelliplug profile?

For example i used Zzmoove-yank battery extreme with the 3.1.1 version and CPU was overclocled to 1.6 GHz and i got a 3hrs 47 minutes screen-on-time with 10% left. Can i replace the Zzmoove-yank battery extreme with interactive + conservative intelliplug and achieve the same Screen-on-time?

Thanks.

Hope you the best..

Ohh and it was snappy as hell also with Zzmoove-yank extreme. Of course because of 2nd phase touch feature.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cangcan:
gonna try it and will give feedback later :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
I really don't know as I just use stock intelli-plug profile.. :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dash87:
Hey mostafa can you post full atweak settings, I want to try to achieve the 3 hours+ screen on :D thank you

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

what difference between 2.2 and 2.2-test-1 and 2.2-test-2 ? (changelog) ?

i may help :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
2.2-test1 : Changes from 3.0 before Google branch merged applied

2.2-test2 : test1 + Google branch merge.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
So that is supposed to prove that 3.0 has no problems?

Will test later...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Nope. It's just a test to see if Google merge is the culprit.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MD500:
This happens due to asv values. if for example the asv is 6 the phone is more tolerant for uv/oc values.if the asv is low the phone will be more unstable for that.(a ramdom reboot and unstability can occur)

Enviado desde mi GT-I9300 mediante Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
So a test with 3.0 is useless?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Um, I thought 3.0 was already founded out to be faulty just like 3.1?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ramansehra:
One thing I have noticed with this kernel regarding battery life, that upto 50 % (or say 45%), there is gradual or uniform discharge rate. But beyond that there is rapid decline in battery percentage even with screen off.

I am using zzmove battery yank, with row (512),not using ext. SD card, touch wake enabled, touch boost enabled and zram set to 100 mb with Archi rom 2.5.3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
How old is your battery? Mine is 26 months old and i am having the same issue, but still getting the mighty ~4 hrs SOT.

I am thinking of buying a new battery.

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

I will test it after sth like 3 hours.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cangcan:
deep sleep is perfect..:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cangcan:
forgot to upload bbs stat..btw running arter kernel 2.2 test 1 since last night..gov interactive with eco extreme hotplugging..1600-100mhz clock..bfq i/o for both storage..and i noticed my battery last more longer while using this kernel or maybe just a placebo..btw my battery is 28month old..:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ramansehra:
I had bought phone in last December. But I could get only 3.45 h of SOT with this kernel. But with Archi kernel result was 4.10 h of SOT
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dash87:
What about other settings. Like WiFi, GPS, sync, auto brightness LTE etc cause I really want to try and get this 3.5 hr + SOT!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
WiFi

Uncheck the "scanning always available" option.

GPS

battery saving mode.

Sync

Off while screen is off.

brightness

Auto brightness

Mobile data

90% turned off while screen is off

Also i disconnect WIFI when i have my screen off.

Mind that battery life depends on ROM.

I had this amazing ~4 hours SOT while on AD 2.5.3/3.0.0

I am trying to get this to the Dirty Unicorns ROM.

I had yesterday only 3.15 hrs SOT, now i disabled Active Display feature and Halo, now i am gaing better battery life.

But i can't handle it like in AD :D

Will update soon.

I think i will make a tutorial about features causing battery drain.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dash87:
So does your ROM have settings that let you tweak the timings on those settings? For example sync off when screen off. Also can you drop me a link for that AD ROM. Thanks bro.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Well i do it manually, but there are alot of helping apps like "Llama" and "intelli-3G" those can handle things like that.

Also i think you can keep sync on, and use intelli-3G or "Leandroid" to turn off 3G or wifi. I personally was using LeanDroid, it was neat and had a lot of options controlling 3G, WiFi, GPS and even sync. That was awesome, until they left only few options to free users and i was doomed. :(

My guess is, as long as there is no internet connection, then there is nothing to refresh sync.

And AD ROM i mean "ArchiDroid 2.X" ROM developed by JustArchi.

Does my battery take a hit if wifi is on during sleep
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cangcan:
it seems so but not too much..and it depends on what activity ur using the wifi with such as downloading or idling..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rascal0pl:
I know that, but this is only one recovery, that properly supports F2FS partitions (or maybe I can't just find another one, I tried newest Philz and TWRP but F2FS partitions cannot be mounted). I want to flash second rom using your method (Script in zip and after that rom.zip), but it is not working at all.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] WhoDunnit:
button backlights

Thank you for this kernel. I've been testing it for a couple of days (CM11 latest nightlies on i9300) and all seems fine. Just one minor bug I encountered: the option to turn off the backlight of the capacitive buttons is broken with this kernel; the option works fine with CM11 kernel and boeffla.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
aTweaks has that settings. Have you encountered the problem with aTweaks?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
So you did

1. Use Devil recovery

2. Flash multi-boot.zip

3. Flash ROM

but still not working?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] stasiulaska:
Am I right if this kernel fix rotation and accelerometer sensor in ArchiPort?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rascal0pl:
exactly, rom installation doesn't even starting after flashing multi-boot.zip:

-- Installing : /storage/sdcard1/romname.zip
Could not mount partitions
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Nope. ArchiPort itself should be fixed. It's not kernel related.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Seems like Devil recovery is just completely incompatible with my dual-boot method.

You'll have to wait for me or anyone else properly makes a f2fs recovery for i9300 :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rascal0pl:
I think that will never happen, anyway thanks for response.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Oh I think it will..

Making f2fs recovery for i9300 is on top of my priority list.

I've succeded on making f2fs recovery for hlte.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] popoyaya:
Sorry, auto-rotate not fixed. But the rest are working now, thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] WhoDunnit:
Right, that's why I called it "minor". Certainly the aTweaks setting works as intended, but the build-in CM11 "button backlight" functionality is broken.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
Ok so after using this kernel for two days, i want to share my views and suggestions to you

1. I was successful in flashing the kernel with philz touch without any problem

2. Boeffla sound is much more configurable with boeffla kernel

3. Animation sometimes lag but it is rare

4. Multitasking is great, mostly my apps are there where i left them and app redraws rarely

5. Aswitch and atweaks doesn't get automatically installed on 2nd rom, you have to push it to system manually

Kernel can be modified to install aswitch and atweak into system if its not already there

Or a flashable zip is to be made which you can instruct people to flash after flashing their 2nd rom

If you dont have the time i can make one for you
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
1. So the normal PhilZ touch is working, people is having issues with PhilZ by JustArchi. :( :(

2. The "Boeffla Sound Control" app is the official one by AndiP71 and other app developer, and I'd like to keep it that way.

Integration to aTweaks will ruin EQ settings. So it'd be very hard for me now.

3. Some performance fix-ups is on my to-do list :)

4. Nice to hear :D

5. When you tap on "Reboot into 2nd ROM" on aSwitch, it should look for 2nd ROM slot for aSwitch, aTweaks and other stuffs automatically and installs it when missing. Seems like that code is not working properly for you, I'll take a look later :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
5. No, after flashing 2nd rom i was directly taken to the 2nd rom, i didnt even had a chance to boot onto my original rom (temasek cm11)

I thought this is normal
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
That shouldn't happen. You sure that ROM you've installed is indeed 2nd ROM?

aSwitch is the only door to go into the 2nd ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
I am currently replying from 1st rom through my xda app

TO which i switched from aswitch after extracting it from kernel zip and pushing to system
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
So you did :

1. Install kernel

2. Install multi-boot.zip

3. Install ROM zip

and found yourself in the 2nd ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
Exactly

Except 1. Because i had installed the kernel 2 days ago

I will try to dual-boot with fresh install of 2nd rom again to check if something different happens

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

Some relief for you

Started aswitch and formatted system, data, cache

Booted into recovery then flashed multi-boot.zip then rom.zip and after rebooting i was taken back to first rom

It didnt happened again After flashing the 2nd rom the 2nd time

From their started aswitch and booted the 2nd rom

And this time aswitch and atweaks were also present as you said
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Weird, but if it's not reproducible, I guess it'd be no problem, right? :silly:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
I think this is so far AWESOME!!

2 hours 10 minutes SOT with 50% battery used.

That's good!

Zzmoove-yank battery extreme 200-1600 MHz
