I'm using bulldogs 4.4.4 rom (Galaxy S5 Mini Alpha/A5 - 6.1 Black).

I had F2FS configured with 4.0-beta2 kernel and noticed quite a few random reboots as well as high power usage (2-5% per hour when idle, while in deep sleep) and up to 10% per hour when using it lightly (whatsapp, facebook and listening to music)

It was very smooth, but unfortunately the battery usage is to high for daily usage.

I've re flashed the rom now and using the default boefla 7.1 beta 6 kernel to compare and will keep an eye on this kernel for updates.

Questions:

Is the battery usage a known bug or caused by the Intelliactive governor? should I change governor to Pegasus(Q+)?

Is F2FS stable/safe to use?

Is this kernel aimed at daily usage (good battery, stability and performance or is it a "gamer" kernel?)

Does this kernel have the following power saving features from boefla kernel?

* WIFI Multicast filter for better battery life

* WIFI wakelock times reduction

* Battery monitor wakelocks reduced
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
1- try to change to PegasusQ+ and see what happens, maybe intelliactive does not play good in your usage..

2- It should be, but i stayed on EXT4 as I am using lollipop nameless ROM and can not tell you that much on it, but is should give you around 1.5x the performance you get and maybe up to 2x also with no battery drain

3- it is aimed for daily usage and high performance, and i don't think it is aimed for gamers as it lacks GPU overclocking for example, but i can assure you that having this kernel will give you a highly snappy phone, whatever the ROM you are using :good: take it for granted

4- I don't know really, but for me battery life is good :good: i use it on AOSP and it gives me almost the same battery life i get on Sammy ROMs. Unfortunately i can not test battery life anymore, as my battery is getting damn old (27 months battery) so it will give faulty results and extremely bad battery life, i hardly crack the 2.5 hours screen-on time. I once got a 4hours screen-on time and even more!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Math_Apolo:
Have a way to remove some folder of the kernel in recovery mode? Because now the phone won't boot up :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Can you please explain what have you did exactly before having such problem ??!

EDIT: Ok it is 01:30 AM here in egypt, so i need to get some sleep

will answer tomorrow
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Math_Apolo:
[MENTION=5060769]Mostafa Wael[/MENTION]

Yeah

First I was using Boeffla Kernel, then I've deleted the folder .boeffla restart the phone and flashed arter97. Then I back to recovery and flashed boeffla kernel again, that make all the sh** happened, and won't boot. OK, so NOW I've flashed temasek v161 make some dalvik cache only and flashed arter97 again and dalvik again, and the phone has booted up!! I just want to remove arter kernel and go back to boeffla, but I don't know how to proceed (without a full wype, I can't lost my data)

Thanks for you help!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Hmmmm ...Using which recovery?

well it happened to me previously with ArchiDroid where i was forced to re-flash ArchiDroid with the "bare bones" preset then boot it up then re-flash the ROM again

Also i suspect that deleting the Boeffla folder may have caused the issue

Really i have no idea what to do

may be try to format /system from recovery then flash the ROM.zip only with no gapps and see if it boots up

and if it booted up, see what kernel it is using...

Continue tomorrow, i really need to sleep :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Math_Apolo:
Philz Recovery

It's using arter kernel now on info.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
then try with latest TWRP 2.8.1.0

Just install the ROM.zip in TWRP and then wipe Cache and Dalvik cache
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Math_Apolo:
The phone has booted up doing dalvik clean!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
what you mean?? didn't boot up properly ?

and what kernel it appears to be using in the settings -> about device
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Math_Apolo:
Like I said \o/

yeah it boot on!!

And it's using arter kernel!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
wait a minute!!!

did you convert back to EXT4 from F2FS ?

if not you MUST convert back to EXT4 for other kernels to work and boot up the device!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Math_Apolo:
Where did I changed IT!! O_O??

I never saw an "option" about it. O_O!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
just follow the same steps that you used to convert to F2FS but select EXT4 instead

that is the culprit!

HERE?

is possible to add the possibility to use same data app folder to have same app on the two rom?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wyneg:
Hi!

How I can convert to F2FS using arter97 kernel (latest beta)??? In recovery don't see any option to do that... ¿?

Thanks!

Update: Aaaah, there is an "arter97 recovery", downloading ;)

Update 2: F2FS conversion enabled... Nothing else to do?

Update 3: I saw in arter97.com, thanks!

In nameless lollipop rom when I flash arter kernel my phone turn on but as soon as screen locked, it restarts itself.

And even I reflash to rom, I cannot go back to rom's kernel, I still have arter.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] senaferdy79:
do a factory reset first
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
arter97 kernel latest beta is still not compatible with latest nameless build

and it seems that you have to full wipe to remove arter's kernel
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DaSuperGrover:
Unfortunately I can confirm this :(

My foldermount couldn't find the /storage/sdcard0 folder anymore, so all my symlinks didn't work. I thought I could just flash back Boeffla or the CM11 (Markox89) kernel, but no luck. Device didn't even boot anymore.

So what I did, Arter kernel installed, booted, full titatium backup, full wipe, restore ROM, restore titanium. Took me another 1.5 hours unfortunately.

ONTOPIC: Anybody knows why I couldn't access the /storage/sdcard0 folder anymore, after switching to this kernel? With ES File Explorer it works, Foldermount couldn't also go to emulated/0 folder....

On top of this, in SuperSU I couldn't use the ALLOW button, had to re-root a pre-rooted ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] depecheguevara:
Oh I thought it was compatible. Doing a full wipe then :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] drmjp93:
Same here mate - but for me this kernel stopped reboots. But broke My working wifi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tokict:
So foldermount didn't work on your phone. Right?

I'm having this problem too when using arter 4.0 kernel. The solution just simple, disable "SD card fs" on aTweak app. Done. Foldermount work again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Math_Apolo:
How can I replace arter kernel to another kernel?

I tried many time change to boeffla using philZ recovery but arter still there, you guys know a method to do it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wyneg:
Two questions:

1.- I change to F2FS the system folder, but I have not issues (until now)... No problem with stay like that?

2.- How I comprobe that F2FS is "active"?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
1) if no problems then stay, but if you want to update the ROM, it will change /system back to ext4 so you have then to backup the /system only, then format to f2fs then restore the /system from your custom backup "this takes for about 10 minutes approximately"

2) to be sure you are on F2FS get "Partition table" from the play store (it is a free app) and click on the advanced section and expand all of them

check the mounted blocks says F2FS not EXT4

and btw there is no point on keeping /system as F2FS. There are not that much reads and writes on /system partition

I Can't dual boot 2 versions of archi droid, can it? I have Archidroid stable installed as 1st ROM, I reboot and flash multiboot and then flash archidroid experimental as 2nd ROM. Aroma installer runs, and I use defaults and tap "Flash" the install process finishes "successfully" almost instantaneously.

Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
use this way, but instead the lollipop ROM, pick the ROM you want to be a 2nd ROM

If I use stable rom as second rom and I have a problem with first rom... Is there a emergency mode to boot second rom if is selected the first (not working)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
you mean something wrong with your 1st ROM so you need to fall back to 2nd ROM ?

i don't think there is such mode to boot urgently to 2nd ROM

but if it is the other way around, i.e you have something wrong with 2nd ROM and want to fall back to 1st ROM, you just have to reflash the kernel again and you will be welcomed with the 1st ROM bootanimation
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Wyneg:
I messed up, I didn't converted to F2FS, but now yes (As recommended in arter97.com, no system folder). Checked with Partition table ;)

If I convert to F2FS the exsdcard, will have some improvements too?

Thanks again!

Hi,

I installed the arter kernel version 4.0 beta 1 and then 2, and now I want to go back to my previous kernel (boeffla kernel).

I installed the zip as regularly, but to the ROM doesn't boot... only when I flash the arter kernel back it boots...

What should I do to go back to boeffla kernel?

I do not own a MHL cable.. ;[
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
It's not a block device that is being mounted.

Check /proc/swaps, not mount info.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
1. Format /system

2. Install ROM

3. Install Gapps

4. Install kernel you want.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] prabhjots:
[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think how aSwitch works at a high level is this: it writes a flag and probably some symlink settings to a text file somewhere , containing instructions as to which ROM to boot up, and your kernel reads that and uses the alternate settings.

In case of lollipop ROMs, it doesn't seem to be possible to directly flash as a 2nd ROM for testing purposes. So, if we're using lollipop as 1st ROM and daily driver as 2nd ROM, and something goes badly wrong in 1st ROM, (and hence we're not able to use aSwitch), how to boot to the 2nd ROM from the recovery?

Based on my understanding, if it works that way, could we not have a copy of the config text file and replace it from the recovery using aroma file manager, as a fallback mechanism?

Sorry for the long post.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GrayJack:
Don't know should it be addressed to kernel or recovery. Whatever.

There is a setting that allows to switch off the screen in recovery after some time of inactivity. Situation: performing a big full nandroid backup. The screen switches off according to this setting. When the screen gets on there is a starting page on it - and that's all! It is not possible to understand is backup up still proceeding or it is already finished.

If the setting is set to "0" (disabled - i.e. the screen is always on) - it's OK and no problem.

Can anybody confirm it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
It's impossible since Samsung does not releases our firmware with pre-deodexed state.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
It's located in /sdcard/.arter97.

If there is a file called '/sdcard/.arter97/btaltrom', it'll boot into 2nd ROM.

Reflashing the kernel will remove this file, thus forcing kernel to boot back to 1st ROM.

I do not see any problem there..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Maybe it's a bug in PhilZ Recovery.

I don't think I can be much helpful here..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Xhemal1325:

[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] I dont know where to ask but can I flash the TWRP 2.8.1.0 (latest?) on my Korean SHV-E210S ? I really want to try your CM12 alpha 3, but I cant make or receive any call on it (CM12 + gapps + your 4.0 beta 2 kernel), maybe I need to flash TWRP recovery to fix this?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
ASV values dont mean everything ;)

well regarding the ASV value, according to Boeffla my value is 2. BUT i can use 1,7 Ghz with heavy undervolting (the preset from Boeffla) without any problems. Some of the Frequencies can even be used under lower voltages (of course the voltages are still higher then higher quality chips, but hey i have luck i guess?). When i was testing the arter kernel i could even use 1,8 Ghz without problems with slight undervolting. Well i had some reboots, but my guess is that it differs from kernel to kernel (i still used the same voltages as with boeffla kernel) and that my system was..... well full. not clean and so on (flashing all different kinds of kernels and stuff). many weird stuff happened with it and i rarely reinstalled everything new and clean. However what i want to say is that the ASV value is not a Dead End. I have almost the worst value (2) but still can use 1,7 Ghz with heavy undervolting. Regarding your friend who also got an ASV value of 2... well i guess i just had luck and he bad luck? maybe my ASV value should be higher then it is xD

greetigns kaz

P.S.

it would be nice to know your opinion on it [MENTION=5060769]Mostafa Wael[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] what do you think of this (and all the others who read this)? BTW [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] i know you dont like it, but it would be nice if you would have any plans to implement the GPU Frequencies (i mean even Boeffla got it, and he always says he does not like overclocking and stuff) and Voltages. I really like experimenting with my Phones and especially Overclocking/Undervolting and i think many others also like doing this kind of stuff :3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kavsko:
There is one big limitation when using this kernel and I think that you should inform people about it.

After installing ARTER97 kernel, if you decide to change to another kernel, it won't be a simple task.

If you just install it over ARTER your phone won't boot.

I have used several other kernels and none of them gave this kind of problems.

Long story short...

If you are on ARTER and want to change your kernel, you need to FORMAT SYSTEM partition, re-install your current ROM, re-install your GAPPS and finally re-install your other kernel.

Thanks for your great work, but this is that kind of information that should be at OP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kazuya_kun:
Yeah I noticed the same issue. Thank God I always make backups of my system before any changes. [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] it would be nice if you could include a zip or something similar that would uninstall anything that comes with your kernel. Boeffla included this feature in the app recently and it is really useful. Would be nice to have something like that :) (oh and please read my post before thx :3)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lukijs:
Nah, you did something wrong to to **** up system like that, just flash stock kernel of rom you're using and you're done, I have done that when comparing kernels with PA for example

Please forgive me being that late, but it is out of my hands. :angel:

And for the people saying "you have to format the system and then reinstall the ROM", yes they are right!

I tried to reinstall the ROM alone " nameless 2.0 lollipop" and arter97 kernel stayed there!! Only after wiping system and reflashing the ROM it solved the problem. So that needs to be mentioned in the OP for people wanting to play with kernels.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Darkened_Sky:
yeah because this kernel uses an addon.d script which preserves the kernel after a rom flash. delete it (/system/addon.d/97kernel.sh) and the kernel will be away after rom flash.

Yup. And please report bugs when it gets released.

Hahah. Exactly. Beta 3 isn't released yet and people won't stop reporting "bugs" on lollipop ROM on a kernel that isn't designed for lollipop. Moreover, they refuse to READ even the last few pages!

The nameless lollipop build is ALPHA, and this kernel is beta, seriously, just compound the odds of running into a bug. If you want to use an Alpha build, don't use it with an *under testing* kernel.

SystemUI.apk Crashes

After I installed this kernel on CM11 M12 i got some FCs @ stock frequencies and settings, and in random apps. Mostly it is SystemUI.apk, but all other Apps crashes to. This used to work fine with M11 but on M12 Kindle, Skype, Tapatalk, SystemUi, Phone, SMS, Hangouts, and other system apps FC randomly. I am not sure if it is happening due to CM or Kernel, but CM11 M12 with stock kernel works fine and CM11 M11 with both kernels used to work fine to, only M12 and arter97 kernel cause some problems. I deleted dalvik-cache, cache, tried both dirty and clean install CM every time same results. For all I know it can be due to theme i used but, I returned to default CM kernel for now :(
