Hi,

unfortunately I do not have good answers for you.

First question you had:

I cannot comment as I never played a game ever on any of my phones. Somehow the load does not seem to be consistent enough to make the game stutter free. Why? Maybe too aggressive governor defaults. You could try to increase min CPU frequency to one or two steps higher in a special profile you create in Boeffla-Config for gaming. Or create a new profile with performance governor (as you did already), but I would prefer an increased min CPU freq typically instead.

Or of course try to understand how ramping up and down in interactive governor works and make it less aggressive. There is lots of documentation on how to tweak the tunables of interactive governor out.

Second question:

Here I have no experience. I fortunately never faced these glitches, but I have to admit I never use my S5 really. It is only my #5 phone in terms of priorities.

I know, this is a long-term issue with CM, unresolved. I would not trust there would be ever a solution for this, after this has not been fixed in years.

Just BTW - kernel adiutor is another kernel tweak app, that is not recommended to be used along with Boeffla-Config.

You can disable the zRam also in Boeffla-Config, you do not need kernel adiutor for it.

In Boeffla-Config, just go to the app settings, kernel startup actions, and tick the disable default zRam option.

The big advantage is: When you do it like that, zRam is never setup. In your scenario it gets setup and then "somehow" unloaded again - which is not ideal of course.

Edit: Wrong Thread

But a side note, game stuttering also happens in cm13 and 14.1
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Behemoth1702:
Thank you for your reply! This is more info than I expected. :) [MENTION=664747]ZRam[/MENTION] & kernel auditor: I know you don't like other kernel-tweaking apps, I only used it for disabling zRam. It's very nice to still be able to handle zRam from Boeffla Config, I didnt find the option when it moved from Misc to app settings. Thanks!

On a side note - kswapd0 - this process is handling memory stuff the way I understood it, it is responsible for moving & compressing memory around when swap/zRam is enabled. But on my phone it is sometimes a very active process when the phone is busy, but I don't have zRamor any kind of swap enabled. Is this normal behaviour? The internet says all kinds of things - linux kernel is looking for swap if there is none, bugs etc. but I didn't find a clear answer for android phones. Maybe you give a little input on this, if possible?

Thank you a lot and I just saw on the Boeffla Config App - 3.4 is out. Sweet.:highfive:
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
This is a normal process that always consumes cpu cycles. It should however consume much less when no kind of swap is used (incl. zRam).

And it is not about "liking" other kernel tweaking apps, it is about knowing (!!) they will not work properly for some aspects + you will not be able to tweak every setting my kernel provides. That is it.

Hi guys, i have a problem, when i turn off or reboot my phone, the boeffla app doesn't charge de kernel configuration and the phone reboots and reboots and do the same a few times more. This problem s since the 2.3 actualization. Sometimes i flash the reset configuration.zip and it works, but when i change any configuration the problem is there again. Beside that, if a don't turn off or reboot my phone everything works excelent.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Never heard that ever, neither experienced it myself (and I reboot my phone at least once a day...)

Anyone else?

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] hellexplore:
Is there any way to do a clean install of the lastest kernel version?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
By flashing the reset zip, you revert everything back to zero.

And of course you should dirty flash CM rom again, followed by the kernel.

Thats all that you can do. At least from kernel side.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] hellexplore:
But i have stock marshmallow whit the correct version of the kernel for the stock rooms.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
As said, I never saw that, nobody else reported this in years. So I strongly assume it is some "speciality" of your setup.

Also, according to support instructions www.boeffla.de, you would need to provide much more information than you did in order to look into something.

I use pure stock rom MM, with private debloaded

and everything worked absolutely no problems

Xposed do not use, and no cleaners and everything is perfect

perfect preparation

Big thanks to Lord Boeffla
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] :
I still didn't figure it out but I abandoned it because. It held phone awake for hours and hours.

Your boeffla configuration app has a bug for me. When I start boeffla configuration and go to cpu tab the min frequency shows 1958 when it is actually still 300
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Then something bigger is wrong.

Have you allowed other apps or processes to overwrite settings? This can be configured in Boeffla-Config settings, but I do not recommend it.

Because it leads exactly to what you wrote: Sliders for CPU min/max frequencies move as they want and are not sticky.

I have just flashed the kernel and I am on RR latest build on op2. The double tap to wake feature isn't working after flashing the kernel. Should I configure anything in the Boeffla app to work?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Of course you have to enable it first in Boeffla-Config, Display&LED tab.

But I think you are in the wrong thread, as you are in the Samsung Stock Kernel thread. And RR is based on CM/LineageOS I believe (but also I do not support RR officially).

Has anyone tried this on T-Mobile variant G900T? I am trying to be able to have USB mass storage on my device and the stock tmobile kernel does not support it. It was suggested to me to try out this kernel, I know 900F is the only supported device.but figured since the 900T is also a GSM device it may work
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Hawaiihemd:
Search the thread for g900t and you'll get a few hits. It works, but a few things seem to break in the process.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Joe333x:
Is this for 5.1.1 or 6.0.2? Looking to use this on my G900T .
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] MysteryIII:
Here you get for Lollipop and Marshmallow. As I searched the Thread one is saying it works without problems another that it doesn't work. So you have to try for yourself to be sure.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Joe333x:
Thanks but in the link in that quote I posted by [MENTION=349649]pyrorob[/MENTION] he modified the kernel to work with tmobiles wifi calling but not sure if he modified the lollipop or mm kernel.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] MysteryIII:
I understand. Modified version is 2.0 so it's MM.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Joe333x:
Thanks!

Hello world,

Did someone else experiences sound cuts/hiccups/latency when listening to music with headphones ?

- same problem with stock music app or with the rocket player I'm using

- littl' random cuts once the screen goes to sleep

- waking up the phone => no more cuts

- phone back to sleep => little cuts

- etc.

Asleep, logcat outputs some

D AudioFlinger: mixer(0xb0080000) Spend too much time to write: delta 226(effect 11)

D AudioFlinger: mixer(0xb0080000) throttle end: throttle time(128)

that are not present when the device is awake. Some are synchronous with sound cuts. Dunno whenever it's relevant...

Device is a SM-G900F, stock build CPLV/baseband CPJ1 (dev 2016), TWRP, rooted (chainfire autoroot), latest Boeffla kernel (20161124).

Didn't change any volt/clock up to now: stock kernel settings.

Mod: using the external sdcard as for internal. Its a samsung SDHC class 10 mem card, i/o shouldn't be the bottleneck.

Changing the governor profile from standard to interactive performance seem to fix this... but at bigger cost of battery, of course.

I'd be happy to purchase the donation app for 1- the amazing work 2- correct tuning once phone is asleep, if I was confident this could be easily fixed? Any suggestion?

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Joe333x:
Out of curiosity has anyone been able to use this on a 5.1.1 rom? I tried the last stable version for 5.0 but it didnt boot. Im guessing the international s5 never had 5.1.1 and just jumped to 6. The marshmallow kernel works awesome on my g900t but the marshmallow touchwiz rom for the g900t is very buggy so i switched back to 5.1.1. Would love to find a way to get this to work so I can at least have UMS support back.

Sorry sir not lazy at all, the S5 section only shows 5.0 and 6.0. I tried the 5.0 but it doesn't boot on my 5.1.1 rom. The 6.0 one worked great when I was on marshmallow though.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Ok. 5.1.1... never had an official rom of this version for my device, so probably then there is no support then.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Joe333x:
Thats what I figured since the international device went from 5.0 to 6.0 and skipped 5.1.1. Just figured it was worth asking, thank you though, loved your kernel while I was on marshmallow, unfortunately 5.1.1 is much more stable with bettery battery life on my device so I had to switch back.

my dear friend.. i would like to thank you verymuch for this kernel. its the best of the best i would say. Battery life is just unbelievable with the simplest settings .. im using the S5 G900F on stock rom with 4G and wifi all day using the "ZZmove governor" and "zzmove-battery govenor profile" with cpu freq at Max 2457mhz/Min 2265mhz, multicore power save -on and with light UV profile...

never had a FC, im using the phone all day and simply no lags or hiccups for me.....

I Have this setting but it almost used 1190mhz and 1574mhz why??

Governor - zzmoove

Governor Profile - zzmoove battery extreme yank

Scheduler - zen

Readahead buffer - 1280

CPU max freq - 1574 MHz

CPU min freq - 268 MHz

Hotplug profile - zzmoove native hotplug

GPU max freq - 389 MHz

GPU min freq - 27 MHz

Touch boost freq - 1036 MHz

Android logger - Off
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Because you have set max frequency to 1574, so it is quite normal it goes up to the upper frequency when there is enough load on the system.

The 1190 MHz step can be triggered by other sources (Rom, Power hal etc.) to boost your GUI experience.

At least the kernel does not boost this, so it must come from user space / power hal.

Or a specific load situation, which can differ from installation to installation.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] xn0live:

Can i upload the BBS and u look it?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
What is your deep sleep rate in general?

And what is the % used of the frequencies you talk about?

Again, you should give us more insight.

If your deep sleep is below 70% it makes sense to look at BBS. If it is above, it might be all correct.

But post screenshots of the various sections, easier to read than the BBS log file.

Note, this is all not kernel related, so we can only try and check if we see something.

does the boeffloa conig have a bug?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] 10goto10:
This kernel can only be configured with the boeffla config app. In fact, by default the kernel will ignore any config changes made outside the app or by the rom itself.

Use the official boeffla config app, it has all the features you could want and then some :)
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
No, you have not read the OP. That is the "bug" :)

3rd party configuration apps like kernel adiutor cannot work 100%.

It is mentioned there.

You are required to use my app when you want to make 100% use of the kernel.

Whatever... I can just repeat:

Any other app than Boeffla-Config cannot work 100% on my kernels. This is intended like that.

If you use my app AND another one, then everything can happen and it is up to you to deal with it.

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] koragg97:
I just flashed the kernel and got a few questions both to the developer and to users:

To dev (@Lord Boeffla): Does the double tap to wake feature drain a significant amount of battery if it's always turned on? And if not, how exactly does it work so well :D?

To users: What are your settings for every day use with no lag but better than stock battery life?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] daniel.mota:
This is my setting: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69753046&postcount=3092

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] koragg97:
I downloaded and extracted the zip file but where to put that bcprofile file in order to use it? Sorry if the question is super dumb but I'm new to this kernel ^^
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] 10goto10:
Open the config app, tap the profile button on top (should be [Default] if you haven't made any changes), then tap 'load foreign' and navigate to where you've downloaded the config file.

As for best battery life: depends on whether you game and how sensitive you are to lag.

For me (web browsing, etc) I'd set my max frequency to 1497 MHz and leave the cpu governor to Interactive - battery, and set the max GPU clock to 320 MHz.

It's also worth looking at setting the GPU min clock to 27 MHz. This might introduce some more stutter, but helps if your phone has tons of wakelocks. (The GPU is turned on when the phone doesn't sleep.)

If you would like to keep the phone CPU at stock freqs you can use the Interactive - battery governor or Yankactive, and set the cpu hotplug profile to Optimized.

As Lord Boeffla would put it, most of the battery drain is not caused by the kernel, but the ROM and apps. Check your wakelocks and consider debloating your ROM. Be careful though!

Just my 2 cents.

(P.S. you could also try undervolting and get 8hrs of SOT like me w/ stock battery, lol. But this varies from phone to phone, is not supported by Lord Boeffla and your phone could crash and you lose your data. ;)

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Hawaiihemd:
Version 2.4 works flawlessly with CQBW (running it right now) and has been earlier with CPJ6 if you use a stock base rom (like stock Samsung or Alexndr's base). On other custom roms it might not work, as it was not designed for them.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Fortunately no additional battery drain (or not significant) as a solution without wake locks is used.

The S5 cannot natively support that (like many other phones nowadays do that in hardware), so the solution is not as elegant as with modern phones.

Your used rom is not Samsung stock. All I say now :)

Hello,

i seem to be having some minor stutters from time to time in any app.

it was all good after a clean Rom flash(xXx No Limits v6.1) and i set up the kernel fine but after i changed the setting ( mainly set the scheduler to row) the lags started happening.

now even after setting the scheduler back to cfq i still have stutters some times.

i don't really want any boost to games or to battery but i want a setting profile which is as close to stock kernel as possible.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] 10goto10:
Might be because the ROM expects a newer kernel base (CQB+?)

Mayve use a ROM that stock base matches this kernel (CPK), as this kernel will not receive any new updates.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] gogvogo:
I hope you have some proof to bsck up what you're saying ,that the rom needs a updated kernel like (CQB+?) I personally been following Lord Boeffla for More than 2 years...And yes he sometimes says it like it is ,and some people don't like it.. after all it's his kernel.. hopefully you weren't being disrespectful..

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
All is good.

This kernel is discontinued due to a very simple reason: All Samsung provides are security updates, and on kernel side all the latest source updates were just nothing to even mention.

So there is no need to update it even more.

Everyone looking for a newer and still updated rom should now look towards LineageOS, of course there my kernel still is alive.
