My donation key no longer works?

R.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
It works.

Donation keys are not having a validity date, so there is no reason it does not work when you have everything entered correctly.

All I could do is blacklist keys that are known to be misused ones, but I am sure I did not do that with yours.

So, check everything again and don't forget you have to enter both email and key to make it work.

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Thanks Andi. Do you think it will be bad to use the new kernel on the 13.2. lineage build? There is no new weekly build :/
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
I am running it as well on the older build at the moment, the changes were quite minor, so I do not expect issues.

But I expect a new build for klte in the next hours as well. So up to you if you want to wait or not :)

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Awesome, thanks! You are still the best Kernel Dev for me. My S7 feels empty without Boeffla Kernel :/

Does this work with the korean g900s 32gb?

Edit: sry i didn't read the op carefully..i see it doesn't work with g900s
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Legitsu:
encountering a weird issue with CM14.1 on the VZWLTE

what I can only explain as funk when attempting to tweak the voltages

if I change one voltage field for one clock speeds others get changed as well sometimes a step higher or lower then what I want ,also encountering

weird render issues in the boeffla config app where the +/- buttons don't render correctly the bottom 1/4 of the button fails to render it still works of course minor but annoying

I did test it on AICP12.1 it does work but I was encountering a random restart every few hours(even at slower then stock clock speeds) so I reverted back to the stock kernel

I will report back if it turns out it wasn't kernel related ,if it is related to the rom i suspect AICP was overriding boeffla's control or some voltage/ related control issue based on what the klog was spitting out before it died
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Legitsu:
seems like its just a conflict with AICP O well was worth a try carry on then

Hello

I installed the latest beta 18 but BusyBox version still got the older version why?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Wait wait wait... what did you do exactly and what did you expect?

The kernels busybox is usually only used by the kernel, the applets are always linked to toybox or a custom busybox.

It is kinda complex, but when you run /sbin/busybox, you will see this kernel busybox is 1.26.2 = latest.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Blackburn119:
Then the one shown here is not correct version?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] aliamin97531@gmail.com:
Hi

I read every thi g about the kernel and i liked it very much

I want to flash it on my phone

But i want to know ia the battery freindly

Because i am on skies rom and want to enable AOD so i do not want from battery to drain alot

And does it provides speed charging

And does thedouble tap to wake screen drain battery

And thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] raylogic:
Just flash it and find out, if the worst come to the worst you could always carry a spare battery around with you or in fact you could plug in a really really long mains extension at home and then you'll be fine.

?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] aliamin97531@gmail.com:
I do not have spare battery and there is not always a place where i can plug my phone in so i asked

So if any one tested the kernel please help me:):)
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] raylogic:
Hehe.

It's great I'm running it S5 sm-900f Lineage OS
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] aliamin97531@gmail.com:
Thanks for reply

Any one else tested it tell me please
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Yes, this means there is another busybox in your system that takes precendence.

I am pretty sure you have Stericon busybox installed, which sometimes can be configured to even remove the kernel busybox (which is quite rude).

Open a terminal and execute the following command:

type busybox

Then we can see which one is used by the system (if in /sbin/busybox, it is the correct kernel one - if not, it is a custom busybox overwriting the kernel one).

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Blackburn119:
I see, I will uninstall stericon busybox.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
If you do not use any very special apps, requiring a busybox linking all the applets too, you never need Stericson busybox at all.

I am not using anymore for more than 2 years, never needed it again.

But - if you need it, you can correct a setting in Stericsons busybox to NOT delete the kernel busybox at /sbin. It is somewhere in the settings of Stericsons app.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Blackburn119:
OK one more question

It is necessary to combine your kernel with tweaks like L speed app for best performance?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
These tweaks, most of the time, are making things worse or have side effects. This is my personal opinion of course. They cannot do magic things which Samsung could not do as well. So it is hyped stuff which is quite useless.

I am not using or recommending ANY tweaks at all when you want a stable experience.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] aliamin97531@gmail.com:
I installed the kernel

Thanks alot lord boeffla for making it

I installed the boeffla kernel configure v2 too

I saw there things about charges and battery

I wanted to ask are they could make charging phone fast and could i damage the phone of high charges?

I also wanted to ask about tweaks

Because i made the speed tweak but i found my phone lagging after that

So what does it do

And what does i need to do in boeffla kernel configure in gpu and cpu and governor to boost my device

And thanks alot
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Charging: You can put charging on full speed, as more than 2000 is anyways not possible by hardware. And as the S5 has replaceable battery anyways, you could even exchange it when required. And it does not make a very big difference in charging times anyways, as newer charging technologies like Dash or Quick charging cannot be imitated.

But I always recommend to charge with stock logig (put slider to 0) if you do not need the high speed really. In some situations when you need it, you can put it up.

System tweaks are not recommended anymore, this was more for the S3 in the past. On the S5 I recommend them to stay off.

As for the rest of your questions... there is a myriad of documentation on XDA what CPU and GPU governors are and how they behave. Wrong question here. I have even a link in the documentation to point to that thread.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] aliamin97531@gmail.com:
Thanksss alot for replying for my question

I am pleased for you
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Blackburn119:
Oh another one question

When I stream 1080P 60FPS video on YouTube it gave some lags, is it because of your kernel or the ROM itself?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Legitsu:
bb should be installed to /su/xbin on marshmallow and higher
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Maybe both, maybe rom, maybe kernel... I do not know. I never do that and have no experience.

You can only try different rom / kernel combinations to find out.

Hm... depends. In general that is the location for a custom busybox, yes.

But on LineageOS and former CM there is nor real busybox need anymore, as the rom comes with toybox (it is kinda lean busybox version) since Android M already, which provides all fundamental commands (linked applets) already.

Custom kernels usually place their busyboxes into /sbin.

So it is really up to the specific scenario where busyboxes can be located.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Legitsu:
/su/ is used for systemless apps which depending on your device and bootloader may or may not be needed
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] aliamin97531@gmail.com:
I switched the governor to ondemand plus then returnes it to inreractive but after thatthe boeffla configure v2 crashed and every time i install it it says it had crashed

So is there a solution

Be careful on using AOD in S5, as certain number of users have pointed it as responsible for display panel flickering (damage) at low brightness.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] raylogic:
What is AOD, I get a flickering horizontal line at bottom of my screen at low brightness
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] pir8man:
Does anyone have an issue with NFC tags not operating with this kernel? I am running lineage OS and NFC tags work fine until I install boeffla kernel. My NFC tags stop working until I flash back to stock lineage OS kernel.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] e-bert:
AOD = Always On Display, a feature implemented by Samsung in S7 and S7 Edge, where the clock and other info is always shown (in B/W) while phone is sleeping. It seems our S5's display suffers a lot of stress when using this ported function for long periods of time (e.g. overnight).
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] raylogic:
Ahha ok well I ain't got that so perhaps my screen is just on its way out.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
I do not understand your report.

Provide more commentary and screenshots please.

Have you tried to deinstall the app already and install again?

No idea, never used NFC. But also nothing more to say as I did not change anything NFC related in the kernel.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Paget96:
In the most of cases it's true, but depends on what you are doing with those "tweaks", the most of mods are overloaded with random stuff from other mods, forums. For L Speed i can't tell the same. ;)

Also [MENTION=7860020]Blackburn119[/MENTION] how did you expect from developer to respond on your question? Sounds like classical insulting.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Atrate:
Really sorry if it has been mentioned already, but does the kernel work with unofficial Lineage OS 13?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] pir8man:
With the latest LineageOS 2-22-17, boeffla kernel b18, and a fresh backup... I did some tests.

Update to LOS with stock kernel and NFC works fine. Updated to boeffla kernel and NFC failed to operate. Tasker app could not even program a tag. I then tried upgrading gapps micro to mini. Because it includes replacement google NFC base. And NFC still refused to work or program. Reflash stock kernel with gapps micro again and NFC works great again.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Then I guess you have to stick to stock kernel.

As I did not change anything to NFC (why should I) and when it still breaks... tough luck.

EDIT: Just found an old tag and tried it myself with "NFC Tools" app. I could successfully read and write the tag.

However, I am on latest Lineage of 01.03.17 with my latest kernel (beta19) which will come out soon today.

Dont know if that makes any difference then. But in fact no problem on my side.

Andi

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] 10goto10:
If you're referring to the no new features message, that's been there for a long time. In fact, Lord Boeffla almost didn't make a 14.1 kernel for our device but thankfully he took pity on us :P
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Would be really helpful when you tell us what you posted the screenshot for? What is the actual question?

nfc keeps breaking every so often its a upstream los problem

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/help/lineage-os-verizon-s5-t3547788

[MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] do you know what the regression is ?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] haggertk:
Host Card Emulation is broken by the upstream mandatory (it's not supposed to be mandatory) inclusion of NFC-F. This, or one like it if someone really doesn't want to take this specific approach, is the core fix:

I have an accompanying device patch (https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/161932/), but I need the main one merged first.

When the message says "it is not available", then it is not available.

And before you ask: No - it also will not come ever for GPU. First it seems technically impossible to do + second there will not be any new features for this kernel anymore.

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] 10goto10:
Just a heads up: in my testing, enabling the experimental 'toggle superuser hash indicator' feature in Boeffla-Config breaks restoring apps via Titanium Backup (since March 8 LOS build, maybe even earlier).

Other root apps seems to work fine.

To fix it, toggle it back off in the Boeffla-Config app, flash the official su addon removal zip, reboot, then flash the su addon zip again.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Seriously?

I have that always enabled and I just backed up and restored an app with Titanium Backup on latest LineageOS. No issue encountered.

I cannot see any correlation between Titanium Backup and modifying a rom file controlling the notification bar icons.

I bet others do not have that issue.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] 10goto10:
Yeah, maybe it was just me then. I tried both from a dirty and clean flash, same result. It always gets stuck at restoring. I thought of blaming the ROM / TB, but by the process of eliminating variables that's the workaround I came up with. Never had a problem with that feature before too.

Oh well, maybe it can help someone else who somehow has the same problems as me ;)

I'm using Viper4Android 2.5.0.5 and I'm not suffering any serious battery drain from it. I use it all the time for my Bluetooth headphones and couldn't live without it because it improves the experience soooooo much!

I have the latest LineageOS with the default kernel and using most of the LSpeed tweaks on the Galaxy S5 KLTE this time around to check the difference of the kernels.

So far all is smooth and snappy.

Boeffla is awesome anyways so no ill thoughts are given.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] adzz37:
hello

thanks for the reply... could you send me the link of what version of viper youre using. maybe the problem was the one im using its a flashable zip viper+dolby... ive forgotten where i downloaded it but it was a post from here in xda...

TIA

it would be a great help...
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Ragnar Eldur:
That just might be it but I flashed the Boeffla kernel today and noticed that the battery life is quite shorter now, maybe it's has something to do with the kernel?

But I just downloaded the official Viper4Android APK from their legit site and then the app will download the driver and after that you just restart the phone and make sure SeLinux is permissive.

I'll attach some screenshots of my settings.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Ragnar Eldur:
Here thru are
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
So you can say that already after some hours?

Impossible. After a kernel flash it takes 1-2 charge cycles to be able and judge that.

If then it is still shorter battery life, you have to check for the usual culprits with Apps like BBS.

Kernel does almost not influence battery life, so 99,9% something else is causing it.

And yeah, needless to say these heavy mods like Viper can cause massive side issues. I never use them due to that.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Ragnar Eldur:
Sorry man stupid guess of mine, checked into the battery logs, for some reason Instagram is draining good! My apologies!

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
I have not said you should not use it :)

I just stated I do not use it as I do not want potential side effects. Only my persons decision.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Ragnar Eldur:
I listen to music nonstop for 12 hours or so at warehouse work in giant cooler trough my Bluetooth headphones just to give a measure how it is not the cause of battery drains or other problems, phone just fine at peek performance.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] marcioafoliveira:
DELETE pls!
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Ragnar Eldur:
I understand, get little too passionate when it come to the love of music.

But your kernels have always been super and enabled my phone to score over 69k in the latest antutu benchmark which is quite the improvement from the typical 40k for the device.

So after heavy usage since 2014 I still have no need for an upgrade. Heavy multitasking and extensive mod usage is no issue for this old little 32bit krait fella.

I will therefore always be a Boeffla runner! ?

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] pir8man:
I finally got off my other projects long enough to re-test this. I loaded NFC Tools app to compare and installed b21 of Boeffla Kernel. Upon reboot, I opened NFC Tools and was informed that my NFC is disabled. Settings shows it enabled, but no NFC works. Also, the on/off slider is set to 'on' , but is not slide-able at all.

Then I re-install the stock Lineage kernel and my NFC operates correctly again, and the on/off NFC slider works properly again.

I still need to find time to do a CLEAN install & test from there, but it appears that Boeffla Kernel is not communicating correctly with Lineage OS.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
But why is it then working for me?

I suspect it must be something else in conflict? What? No idea.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] pir8man:
Yes, I was quite confused as well. Fortunately, I had time today to do some clean install testing...

Full nandroid backup completed.

Full data/system/cache wipe.

Clean install Lineage OS 3/22/17 build.

Boot to OS with clean setup. (no data sync, no google account)

Go to Settings and NFC operates as expected.

Reboot to Recovery & install Boeffla kernel b22. Reboot to system.

Go to Settings and NFC fails to respond.

There is nothing else to conflict in this situation. I did not install any other apps at all. If it works for you, and I believe you test with a G900F device... Then there must be some difference with the G900P (Sprint) device in NFC hardware/driver.

Any other ideas?
