I have just installed the Boeffla Kernel (v1.2) on my S5 to take advantage of Boeffla Sound. Being partially deaf in one ear, it is brilliant to be able to have balanced sound again. However, the setting do not appear to be retained - each time I have to make an adjustment to the settings in order for them to become effective. Please, can someone tell me what am I doing wrong?

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Normal. Overclocking and overvolting are battery killers.

What do you mean, when are they not sticky? When you reboot, or never?

It is kinda hard to understand your exact issue.

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Looki75:
On S5, I always had the feeling that the boefflasound settings don't stick.

However, it is a feeling and since I have no objective data to confirm this, I never mentioned it...

After a reboot, if I go to boeffla app/ boeffla sound and disable/enable again, it seems to reapply settings that were not taken into account just after the reboot.

Again: no objective data, just a feeling. Maybe just something with my hears combined to some kind of placebo...

@Lord Boeffla

What do you think of Google's improvements to Nexus 6's kernel?

See here: https://plus.google.com/+FranciscoFranco1990/posts/KB6JYHDG5U8

Especially disabling the thread migration boost routine:

Could that be applied to your kernel?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Not sure. This would require some hours analysis as I never touched the topic.

But I would assume, we would get it automatically from Samsung/CM via Google if it really turns out to be helpful.

However, I do not see why a device like the S5 would urgently need that. It is powerful enough to also migrate between the CPU cores (my personal take).

Let's see. Currently my next weeks are focussed on coming up with a first custom kernel for my latest device, the OnePlus Two.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] wallace5:
Sorry, but I may not have given enough information. In Boeffla - Config V2 on the sound page, the graphics show that my settings have been remembered and that the status has been enabled. However, those settings are not reflected by what comes through the headphones. Adjusting one of the headphone sliders appears to act as a switch making the setting into life.

I have made a shortcut for my sound profile. Tapping this correctly shows my settings but does not change what comes through the headphones until I adjust as above.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Hi!

And this does happen after a reboot, or when exactly?

Thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Looki75:
... same kind of behavior witnessed here. It shows active but is only really active if you disable/enable or if you touch something (any sliders).

After reboot, before touching any switch or slider in that sound section....

Cheers

---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

For sure, nothing urgent here! :D

It is not a matter of "being powerful enough" but a matter of saving power consumption to have a better battery life.

Thanks for your answer, I understand.

Cheers
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Ok, thanks.

Will try to replicate that next time I am on Touchwiz again.

I have a small idea... there was something similar on the S3, we had to play an empty sound during the start already to initialize the sound driver first before the sound settings get applied.

Maybe it is the same here...

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] wallace5:
I have my music player set to start when earphones are plugged in. Each Time I plug them in I have to go through the routine of moving either of the headphone sliders to trigger the settings to have an effect on the sound coming from the headphones.

After a reboot Boeffla Config shows that the settings have been remembered, but the audio effect is not triggered until I move one of the sliders.

Thanks

Can OC & OV that damage battery od processor and other device components?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Not straight away.

But, as for every semiconductor, the higher the average temperature is over a long period of time, the worse.

So, longer term it might impact your device life time.

The S5 has so much power, I think there is no reason to overclock it for normal usage.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Guys,

third week in a row I have to go on a business trip (at least this time I stay in my home country).

Hence, I will be gone again in an hour for the next 3 days, basically returning back Thursday night CET.

So, I will try to follow the threads and read. But do not expect any work (kernels, app) from my side during the next 3-4 days.

Sorry

Thank you for all you work man

Dont worry do your thing. We love the kernel. Have a safe trip
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Looki75:
I fully agree to this statement.

In the past, I have been a very big fan of OC, especially on HD2 then S3.

But with S5, I am very happy with the stock max cpu and gpu freqs.

Now I am not a gamer... maybe users with specific usage profiles would need some kind of oc...

Regards
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] tinko975:
I am not overheating it, never. So you suggest put OV and OC to default?

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Louis235:
Hi Andi. Just one noob question (sorry for that)

I know how you always recommend to use ROM with your Kernel. Clean installation Stock Debloated, no Mods, and so on....

My question is: if I do it exactly that way, does it make a difference if, I install your Kernel BEFORE having installed all my apps or AFTER? And would you recommend to use your cleaning script also, when on Stock Rom and Stock Kernel?

Thanks in advance.

Greets
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] daniel.mota:
You can flash the kernel before or after installing your apps, it's the same.

And the cleaning script, I think it is meant to be used only if you want to "unninstall" the boeffla kernel before flashing another one.

Hello [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION], finally I found a fix for the issue I reported.

Using latest modem+BL, latest Omega TW ROM, and arter's Xposed Framework, I can use your kernel successfully as long as I don't choose "boeffla tweaks" in the System Tweaks section on Miscellaneous 1 tab.

If I do, all apps begin to FC. Any idea why?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Well, the tweaks might conflict with Omega.

This is a well-known thing when you are not using 100% stock.

I anyway do not recommend them to be used if there is no strong reason. (was different on the S3 in the early days)

Maintenance update

Hi all,

quick maintenance update to the Sammy stock kernel.

Version 1.3-beta1

14.09.2015

Note: Do NOT use this kernel version when you are on an older firmware than XXU1BOH4 !!!

Kernel source drop for version G900FXXU1BOH4 merged in (however, this means zero changes for used code)

Ramdisk updated to version of firmware G900FXXU1BOI3

Enjoy

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] sielhadi:
I'm in XXU1BOH4 that is mean i can use this kernel
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] ginzo:
Obviously, it is clear explained from our Lord [emoji2]

This Kernel can be used from BOH4, this means that if you have a rom made before BOH4, you can't flash this Kernel

You should use the old beta version for such an old rom.

Andi

Have to say I do love my S6 but the kernels are basic. No config apps and definitely none with sounds modification. I guess it's true that the S6 is worse than the S5 for developing on. Makes me miss the good old days of my S3 and your kernel with Eargasm.

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Looki75:
Wait 6 months more and there will be more devs working on S6.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] carbonize:
And how long have we waited in the S5? Samsung devices get more and more difficult for developers to work on.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Yes. Why should devs bother about things like knox, flash counters, closed source Exynos, other pitfalls if they do not have to face it on more dev-friendly devices?

I would not count on more devs entering the arena, at least not experienced ones.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Looki75:
Very true statements indeed! My personal opinion is that SAMSUNG's strategy is to copy APPLE's model:

* They already have their own "Samsung market" (Samsung Apps)

* They just took the turn of consumable phones: no removable battery, no sdcard slot

* More and more: they refuse any warranty action in case of knox-break (cf Jailbreak)

* They already devellop their own OS - for the time being based on Android but In future I'm sure they will come-up with an Android-compatible closed source OS

Just my feeling...
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] DirkStorck:
Yeah...didn't have any Play Store problems till now :) :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Louis235:
That's so true, Andi. And very sad, too.

As I'm addicted to flashing I will stay very long with my S5, as it has a very good Custom Rom Support. And if I'm gonna buy another phone someday, I will take one that's at least half a year "on the market" and where there's a comparable Community already.

I had a Mate 7. Really good phone but was bored very quickly. The community was "dead". I had to sell it, for that reason.

Sorry for offtooic.

I think that Alliance rom is on BOE6 based. So it is older than BOH4 and not compatible with the new beta.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] XDAMaxe:
I can confirm a random reboot of 1.3beta1 with BOH4 firmware.

As mentioned by Andi the latest kernel is closer to BOI3 than BOH4 - so this is no complain but simply confirmation to better stay on 1.2stable if running on BOH4 (imo THE perfect combi for stable and smooth S5 - fyi: smartmax_eps, noop, 800vram, 30(!)swappiness)

Under normal circumstances, without uv and oc and on clean roms, there should not be reboots at all.

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] GFX:
Hi everyone,

I've tried some of the popular kernels (KT and CrazySuperKernel), and Boeffla (v1.3-beta1) was the most stable for me on stock de-bloated Samsung POI1 ROM. The only issue I have is extreme throttling when playing Real Racing 3, I have CoolTool running during the game and usually the CPU starts throttling to ~1037 MHz when battery temp reaches 36 degrees (which takes ~5-10 minutes in RR3 :P) making the game unplayable. So is there a way to tweak the thermal threshold temperature (like in KT kernel)? Or at least change the throttling frequency to a higher value? I've found that 1500-1600 MHz is sufficient for a smooth RR3. I'm using Interactive - Performance + FIOPS + Mattiadj tweaks.

Thank you all, and thanks [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] for this amazing kernel.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Looki75:
That throttling behavior, is known as DVFS.

It is Samsung "best idea" to throttle CPU under heavy load... DVFS stands for Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling.

Anyway, the ONLY way to get rid of that is to install XPosed on your phone and then use "Wanam Xposed" module - it has an option to disable DVFS.

If you don't want XPosed, then you just need to live with DVFS. It is not a kernel issue.

Cheers
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
I decided to keep stock thermal threshold as well as I trust mpdecision for hotplugging and thermal control = my close to stock objective.

I think there are good reasons why that was implemented by Sammy like that, so I don't want to risk anything here.

And I am very sorry that gaming is not my target group.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] GFX:
Thanks for the information. The only problem is AFAIK Xposed still doesn't support stock Samsung 5.0 ROMs, I wish it did though because I really need some of Wanam's features for my stock ROM.

Thanks for the reply! You don't have to apologize, I know your objectives for this kernel, so it's me who's sorry to bring this up in this thread, but I was actually hoping for some kind of workaround (like the one proposed by Looki75), and it wasn't my intention to ask for a feature to change the thermal controls. I think your kernel is great the way it is, and it works smoothly and flawlessly for everyday use.

Anyway, until I find another option I will try to limit the CPU frequency to 1500 MHz before starting the game to help prolong the time it takes to hit the thermal threshold, I think this would work as a temporary solution for now, fingers crossed. :)
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] DirkStorck:
I am using Xposed together with the ROM that I use and I must say it works better as I thought. I thought it gonna has an impact on performance but I can't feel a difference. But that's another topic.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Looki75:
Xposed does work on stock Samsung ROM but it had to be DEODEXED.

Look for a thread from Arter97. You can download there a recovery flashable to install Xposed on a Samsung DEODEXED Lollipop ROM.
