are those benchmarks reliable? how many times you did those tests? ..you know that benchmarks may vary every time you do them?

you should do 5 tests on one governor and 5 tests on another one...then you take the average score and come to a conclusion...

on antutu i got around 70-71k point on stock rom unrooted, now with your latest rom v11 back to n0t3 and arter kernel 10b2 i got 67k at best...lower multitasking score by 2.5k and cpu scores are also lower...but my phone feels smoother and more responsive now...

SaMe here 9.2 took 40mins for 344 apps optimisation. Back to 8.1 and voila it takes 10mins
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] spelaben:
I never had the app optimizing problem and I'm always testing the newest available kernel version.

Also, I never wipe cache in recovery and never had any problems not doing it. IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD GUYS. :D
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Code124Y:
seem like v8.1 are better in overall comparing to v9 n v10beta, atleast in my end...
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ricardofago:
Consecutive benchmarks will also lead to unreliable results due to accumulated heat and hardware stress. Or are you suggesting a developer that already gives most of his time maintaining several kernels and ROMs to spread 10 benchmarks just to give you a higher number for a different governor? Ain't nobody got time for that. Too much work for such a bad measurement of real-world performance.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] sanders132:
Yes

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

I really don't understand why so many people are complaining about how long the phone takes to optimize on first boot. This is hands down the best kernel for both performance and battery life on the market. Show praise and donate everyone.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] evonc:
That's a good sign that benchmarks beyond a certain point are meaningless. Stop worrying about what score you get and just use your phone. I guarantee you'll find much more enjoyment in that rather than trying to score the highest result.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Indranuj Kar:
I think loriss1000 Or whatever his name is ahould be banned from xda... Man! Atleast have respect for the developer. And stop using such crude way of expressing your views

you guys should learn english first as im not being disrespectful to arter im just adressing issues, stop asking for ban with no reason...you will get reported if you keep doing so.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
While Qualcomm's CPU governor gave better benchmarking scores, it was actually causing some performance weirdness such as sudden lags and boot time increase(by a large margin).

Thus, I'm turning it back to Samsung's one, for now :(

With that said,

stable 9.3 and 10.0-alpha3 is now live.

You might be interested in the new feature that 10.0-alpha3 has.

Helps you in the eyes while reading texts with white backgrounds.

https://twitter.com/arter97_dev/status/663229075423555584

10.0-alpha3

9.3 changes merged

A new display's color switcher implemented

- Original code from gokhanmoral's Siyah kernel for i9300

- Toggle by quadruply tapping the multitasking button

9.3

Switched back to Samsung's CPU governor to fix performance weirdness

CPU governor patched to be more responsiveness

Boot time decreased

this is a great piece of work ... for free ... just amazing ... stable and powerfull ... i am very pleased
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] gun@id:
But from what i read. You are not addressing issues. You just never stop complaining. Mr. Arter releasing his kernel and share to us. It is upto us as a user to use it or not. But you just complaining about benchmark. What issues are u adressing??
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
Many. Dozens.

I standardize my tests with airplane-mode(to prevent incoming notifications to affect benchmarks) and SoC cooled down to at least 35 degrees Celsius.

I'd say that's the precisest way to run a benchmark.

Whatever, it's reverted due to other reasons.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
Guys, let's do each other a favor and standardize the benchmarking app to PCMark, rather than Antutu.

You may already heard of Antutu's number is just a number.

I agree. There are tons of factors that can affect Antutu's result.

PCMark is more real-world centered, and I think there are less factors than Antutu that can affect the results.

PCMark's numbers were very consistent and it is my new favorite benchmarking app.

1. Uninstall Antutu and install PCMark and CPU-Z

2. Close all apps and activate Greenify to force-close other hidden apps, if you use Greenify, that is.

3. Open up PCMark and wait for it to finish initializing

4. Turn off auto-brightness and lower the screen brightness all the way down to minimum. And turn on airplane-mode.

5. Open up CPU-Z and go to THERMAL, wait for the "exynos-therm" to go below at least 40 °C(preferably under 35 °C, if your ambient temperature is low enough).

6. Close CPU-Z and go to PCMark and execute "Work performance" test.

7. Post your results.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] loris100:
I did 2 runs with 2 different kernels...

These 2 are with arter kernel 10alpha2

And just to make you happy [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] another benchmark for you:D ..joking.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Indranuj Kar:
See the changelog And also 10.3 is alpha/beta expected to hv bugs whereas 9.3 is stable

S6 edge+ deep sleep issue on 9.3

Deep sleep issue is back on kernel 9.3. My sm-g928g entered deep sleep just fine on kernel 9.2. I downgraded back to 9.2 and all is well again. In the changelog i see that they reverted back to the stock samsung cpu governor. Maybe the problem lies there.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Con1750:
Getting huge performance issues with any version later than 8.1, very laggy in regular usage and also Antutu and Geekbench show a huge drop in score, anyone else suffering this issue?

Wiped Dalvik and Cache on each new kernel flash, going back to 8.1 completely resolves the issue I was having, no kernel editing apps installed.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Antisthenes:
Hi folks,

ever since switching to arter's kernel, I am experiencing a strange problem:

I am unable to press accept on certain popups. If I want to grant notification access to nova launcher, for example, I am unable to press "activate". There actually does not seem to be a button underneath the text. Whereas, when I press "cancel", this command gets executed right away (long-pressing "cancel" reveals the glowing outline of a button, whereas long-pressing "accept" does not do a thing).

Any idea if this could be kernel-related? Has anyone run into the same problem at some point? At least, I think that it started when I switched to this kernel. I cannot tell for sure, though.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] spelaben:
Check if you installed any apps like flux or other autobrightness / screen overlay apps, if I remember correctly they cause this issue.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Antisthenes:
You, Sir, are a genius. Lux was the culprit. Anyway to fix this issue other than temporarily disabling lux?

What issues did you have/notice with 10 alpha 2?

For me that release seems to work much smoother than alpha 3 and I still haven't experienced any issues whatsoever. So far it sleeps like a baby, instant wake up, no lags. PCMark also always gives a higher score than alpha 3 or even v8.1 and 9.3!

PS: after coming back from work (11h without charging) still have 75% battery left, which is great. For example, on stock I usually just had 40-50%.

When my phone goes into deep sleep, sometimes when I wake it the color is like inverted, don't know how to explain, like the Samsung logo is black and the background white when I restart! Happened a few times last three days, 10.0 a3

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] RFrancis:
[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] your kernel seems to limit the CPU accessible when the screen is off. Even with the file added to the arter97 folder it still throttles. There is this app called Bubbleupnp and it works great at transcoding video but not when the screen is off. This is absolutely driving me crazy. Any chance you can take a look at it?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
A57 cores are not allowed to turn on during screen is off.

Stock : 4 x A53 + 4 x A57

Default : 2 x A53 + 0 x A57

Turning off dualcore mode : 4 x A53 + 0 x A57

Why are you even encoding video while screen is off?

Im very confused to the download page can you guys pls give me a link for philztouch recovery and 9.3 arter kernel? Im using s6 G920L latest build,currently im rooted via unikernel and stock recovery,is there a way to flash arter kernek without odin? How can i install philztouch without odin?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] RFrancis:
God it's awesome that you answered, thank you. OK so the reason I'm transcoding video is because bubbleupnp has the ability to transcode video if the format of the video transmitted to the Chromecast is not the accepted one. This way it can do it in the fly... If for example I'm trying to see a .avi file on the chromecast bubbleupnp transcodes it to something that Chromecast can take. I can leave the screen on but the battery drains faster and it gets considerably hot.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
I'll add it on later releases.

If I forgets it, please remind me.

If I were you, I'd look for a way to root the Chromecast and make it recognizing avi, rather than transmitter(your S6) encoding the video on-the-fly.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] RFrancis:
Definitely I thought you might be able to add it to the proploader. I'll give the Chromecast a try but its not about having it available in my Chromecast mostly its so I can go to work and a friends house etc and have the ability to do it. It's very convenient. Thank you arter.

10.0-alpha3 is practically stable.

The only reason why I'm not dropping the "alpha" is because I still can't figure out how to compare performance between zswap+vnswap with zram directly.

I need to do some exhaustive memory benchmarks before dropping the "alpha".
