So beta15 runs beautifully, and battery life is excellent

Tested on stock POGC

Yesterday I updated my to BOH4

all without problems, thanks to the Lord Boeffla § ZaneZam

Zzmoove seems already usable
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Jaqb:
First of all, thank you for this great kernel.

Would it be then possible to lock the Bluetooth volume to maximum (in config app) ? Or at lease to unlink Bluetooth and Media volume so that Bluetooth volume would not change when media volume is adjusted ?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Ok, maybe I was not clear enough.

Bluetooth is primarily handled in the rom functions, not the kernel. The kernel only provides the low level driver.

So what you want is typically that needs to be built into the rom. We are fully digital here, so the possibilities in the kernel are very small.

And to put a stake in the ground: Bluetooth when coming to audio is a very shaky thing, still. So I will never mess anything with the BT drivers as I know I would just break more than improve.

Sorry and thanks

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Jaqb:
Thanks Andi for your quick reply.

Just to be 100% clear, it's not possible for kernel to detect if BT is connected, then turn general volume to max (or media volume or whatever volume, so that BT volume would change too) , then when BT disconnects go back to previous volume values before BT was connected ?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
I am sure the kernel can detect when BT is connected.

The volume is, up to my best knowledge, not part of the BT in the kernel anymore but the rom.

Here is where it breaks.

But I also need to be honest:

- this would require a multiple-hours investigation to be 100% sure

- I never use BT audio, so I will not spend this time

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Jaqb:
OK No problem. Thanks for your candour.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Thanks.

If I have, for some weird reason, too much time one day - I will dig into it.

Is it possible to add option to allow streaming sounds and music into microphone?

For example when someone is calling to me - i play him pre recorded sound (not by activating speakerphone, but streaming into mic input)
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Maybe, maybe not. I have no idea.

This is again something where sound channels would need to be mixed up, and this is usually triggered in the rom and not the driver.

Of course there might be options in the audio driver as well, but then we come to the open topic on missing WDC9320 documentation.

So - no idea honestly.

Hello guys,

1st of all thanks [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION], this kernel seems to have an excellent battery life and performance. I noticed, however, a few glitches with the dialer when picking up or terminating phone calls. The green button to pickup call didn't move. And the red phone to hangup neither. They took me like 30 seconds to react.

» Does someone know anything about this?

Another question, I've backup up this rom with latest TWRP, all partitions to a Zip. Then, I've tried another rom (MIUI 6) for like 10 minutes (just wanted to try an app), and then I restored the backup but nono. System UI always FC and I loose the status bar. The version I backup up and was fully operational was Omega 18 + Boeffla Kernel 1.1 Stable + Arter97's XPosed framework.

» What am I missing here? Isn't the TWRP backup supposed to support this Samsung->MIUI >Samsung transition?

Thanks guys!
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] xXx:
If these kind of weird things happen to me I always pull the battery and boot up again try. Most of the time this solves issues like you described.

Stable release

Hi,

I hereby declare the new kernel version as a stable release.

Version 1.2 stable

26.08.2015

Note: Do

NOT

use this kernel version when you are on an older firmware than XXU1BOH4 !!!

zzmoove maintenance patch (scaling/zz_get_next_freq) to fix some minor issues (credits to ZaneZam)

Internal build script improvements

It might very well be, this marks the end of the Android 5.0 LP Samsung kernel as we expect Android 5.1 to drop in soon (hopefully)

Enjoy

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] MIKEMON:
Big thanks to my friend for an update

Also thanks ZaneZam for the improved Governor

I hope that 5.1 will come soon

Perfect work, absolutely stable build
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] carbonize:
Been expecting 5.1 for a long long time and have given up waiting. Oh and your last beta worked fine with POGC.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] punkt:
Personally i gave up waiting for 5.1 and think samsung just does not care, hope we will see 6.0, but here also i have not much hope. In fact it makes no difference, 5.0 now runs very well as it was on latest kitkat and your kernel makes it almost perfect.

Dear Lord Boeffla

I'm on Omega v18 (Based on firmware XXU1POFA Android 5.0 (Date: 18/06/2015)) and currently using kernel 1.2 beta 15 and everything works fine.

I want to flash 1.2 stable but I see a warnig "Do NOT use this kernel version when you are on an older firmware than XXU1BOH4 !!!" and now I'm really unsettled. I'm not brave enough to flash 1.2 stable...

Edit:

I'll make a backup and try to flash 1.2 stable, let's see what happens...

Edit:

It booted! :). Kernel 1.2 stable works fine on Omega v18 if anyone else is irritated by the warning.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] oia12344321:
In last version vnswap is disabled. Will this slow down performance?

What do you mean by that? Vnswap is not disabled by default (when you start with a fresh configuration).

No changes to vnswap between beta15 and stable done.

Naaaaa, I know why I said: Never Samsung again.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] daniel.mota:
That's true.

Also I had 2 LGs before the samsung S3 and S5, and they had the same crappy update policy.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] mauriicio21:
Isnt official list, some others devices will recive like s5
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] tinko975:
2014 Htc one x m8 will have android 6..
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
It's not a completed list. The s5 is only a year old, we will get it. How soon is another question.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] oia12344321:
I just updated to BOH4 and then install kernel and found in settings that the vnswap is disabled. From what you said I understand that it should be enabled (just did it). I just want to be sure you didn't disable on purpose. I think I disabled by mistake while swiping.

Ah and I set it to 1000...is this OK? What default was?

By the way vnswap caches RAM to the flash memory ( I am afraid that it will use to many cycles r/w) or is compressed RAM (like zram)?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Vnswap uses compressed area in memory.

It is almost the same than zram, just a newer driver.

Andi

We're still waiting for 5.1 so wouldn't hold your breath waiting for 6.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] aceqott:
Hi, I have seen that the new stable version 1.2 only works for higher XXU1BOH4 bases.

This is true? Already you can not use the betas on the basis BOC7?

Regards.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
No, BOC7 is too old. You should not use new kernel betas on that old firmware.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] DirkStorck:
Using it with my BOE6 based ROM. Everything works fine ??
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] aceqott:
A pity then.

I have based my latest version of the ROM on the basis BOC7. I have not seen problems at the base, very stable and shared well. I do not see that changing to a new, Samsung launches daily basis, without apparent changes to my opinion.

Neither saw the need for change, for the leaks that have been heard in version 5.1.1.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
What is the problem?

You just stay on beta14 as long as you do not update the rom.

I had to put the new ramdisk in, which is not compatible. Otherwise all users of BOE4 roms could not boot anymore.

And yeah, we have to move on. Not updating is regression.

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] MewCore:
After a week with the first beta I have noticed only one issue.

It's the proximity sensor that seems to take more time to dim or brighten the screen during calls when compared to stock XtreStoLite. Xtre comes with "A few optional build.prop tweaks, like: Fewer WiFi scans, Faster Boot animation speeds, Disabled call ring and Proximity delay." so I'm wondering if this kernel dose not come with the proxy speed tweaks?

Thank you in advance :)
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
No, it does not have these tweaks in.

According to "close to stock" objective.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] garyblake:
I noticed this as well. I also could not end the call or pull down the notification bar.

I have double tap to wake enabled. I fear that's causing some issues.

XtreStoLite rom here.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Just to state it again: I have not changed stock values for this. So all is according to normal stock kernel.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] ghoster76:
Well, so do you have plan to update the TW kernel, because I saw the CM has been updated recently day by day but nothing for TW kernel?

I know S5 is not your daily driver, but... you was developing for hole community,.. ha ha, just waiting for the update...
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
I have updates to all S5 kernels in the pipeline.

Also touchwiz is there, but honestly there is not much to update for the time being. It is running quite smoothly.

Or did I miss a significant rom update in that area?

Thanks

Did you have ktoonsez kernel installed before this, if so it may be causing an issue, best way on alliance is to clean install with no kernel checked, then install this one after and then reboot, and all will be good.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] carbonize:
Speed the app have root?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
Tgen you for sure use a custom rom or a mod.

In short - the kernel cannot load it's settings because there is a fishy init.d script in your setup which does not return back control.

Look at latest kernel boot log in Boeffla-Kernel-data folder to figure out which one it is.

Btw - the app does not apply the settings during boot, it is the kernel itself. So this runs even when app or whole system has no root [emoji3]

The wife has actually offered to buy me a new phone for my upcoming birthday but as the S5 works I see no reason to get a new one. She only offered because I had been looking but then I'm always looking for a new toy to play with. I don't particularly want a 5.5" screen as my S5 only just fits in my running belt as it is.

Although having said that I like the sound of the soon to be released Z5 - http://www.xda-developers.com/sony-unveils-the-xperia-z5-flagship-lineup/

5.2" 1080 screen, fingerprint scanner in the power button so you can unlock as you turn phone on, fast camera with new sensor. Ain't going to be cheap though.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] ginzo:
I love my S5, and at the moment I'm don't thinking to change it, as it stable as a rock and as far as there are updates and support in xda ☺

But when I will look for the next model, probably I will start to look to other brands than samsung, due to the limitations of updates than other Google phones. For sure s5 will be my phone till next year...!!

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] carbonize:
Depends on what you want. The SOny Z3 is still a good phone. The Nexus 6 has been reduced. Oone+ One is a good phone, no NFC on the two though which is one reason I wont be buying one. Some good ZTE and Huawei phones out there.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] DirkStorck:
It shouldn't be bigger as my S5, it must have a sd slot and it must have such an good xda support as the S5 has. Not like my P600 where it took a long time till some good devs have supported it.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] andip71:
With your sd card requirement, this will be a very hard deal for you.

Most popular phones for devs are the Nexus phones, and the OnePlus phones... but they all have no sd card.

Andi
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] DirkStorck:
Than I will have to stick with my S5 forever... Hope you will provide us with your fantastic kernel the same time ??
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] carbonize:
To be honest I originally thought I would need an SDcard, and don't get me wrong I would still prefer one, but I have 16GB internal and a 64GB external card and I'm only using about 40GB on that and that includes six movies and 21 TV episodes. So 64GB of internal memory isn't that bad and is going to be faster than external. That and we also have cloud storage.

BTW just noticed that the new Smart Manager has a delete unnecessary data function that is powered by Clean Master which is worrying given how little I trust them.
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] carbonize:
Well my other half has bought me a new phone for my birthday. I wanted a Z3 but due to both the on screen keys and it being just to big to fit in my running belt I went back on what I said and got the S6. Managed to brick it updating the bootloader but managed to eventually fix it. So I'm off and would just like to thank [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] for his hard work on this kernel.
