After an unbearable 4 hours of troubleshooting I have narrowed down the source of my issue to this kernel. The problem: I hear nothing when calling, not even the dialing tone, and the other person will receive the call but will hear nothing from me. Its the same when they call me, nothing gets heard on either end. I had to restore my stock AP and then test calling after each thing I reflashed. The issue only appeared after flashing this kernel.

Version tested: 13.0

Device: G925T

Firmware: 6.0.1

Upon further investigation, it seems that none of the custom international kernels completely work on the G925T. They all seem to have the same issue with calls.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] tomiga:
It's a known problem with the G92xT and W8 variants that calls don't work with kernels meant for other variants. This kernel currently doesn't have support for our T/W8 devices. The problem is that, even with Samsung's kernel source code for the G92xT/W8 from their OSRC, I haven't gotten calls to work as well, which might be why we have yet to see a release of this kernel for this variant (just speculation).

Just went through reviewing Samsung's memory management changes.

They indeed changed a lot since the very first Android M release.

14.0-alpha4 changes some memory management settings including LMK back to stock Samsung config.

Try it out and feedback.

This might reintroduce the issue users complained on 5.1 days - Wi-Fi turning on delays.

http://arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/kernel/alpha/14.0-alpha4

For T-Mobile users, don't use my kernel until I explicitly state on the changelog that T-Mobile is supported.

Cool +1

You have opened my eyes to a whole new way of seeing things. Is there any apps that you freeze/debloat on your S6 MM?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] nadejo:
i used to do that but since a couple days ,none and all is fine. even trashed it with more stuff just looking for a script or app that can bulletproof some apps means that can keep apps alive, then all left to do is, reboot phone. wait till all is loaded then just choose all apps in background to keep in memory and all should be fine.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] shegeloaf:
Ill like to try that script too if you find on let me know.

Ill reinstall XtreStoLite-ROM withoutdebloating this time and see how it goes. Cheers.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Code124Y:
well said... tbh only less then 10% android user understand those theory behind how android or how Samsung TW works behind the the android, most user always seek for bloated rom for better performance but i always end up worse battery and performance... thanks for the detail...
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Jahspi:
Thanks for the information. I'm not à dev, I haven't understand the whole ram system management of TW/ Android but what I'm pretty sure, it's that debloated roms like xTrosolite perform really well regarding stock performances...

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
This is mostly wrong. LMK prioritizes processes(notifications, GCM, services count, etc) and kills those which seems unnecessary, cached, unlikely to be respawned after killed.

Most other phones with big.LITTLE architecture have a properly managed priority scheduling so that heavy processes are unlikely to get interrupted.

Blame Samsung for not utilizing this cpuset features in Android M.

Not sure what you mean here. Cached memory can be cleared in microseconds in Linux for new processes' allocation. This is not a problem.

And games allocates memory mostly during initial load. LMK and SPCM kicks in then to provide more memory for that game, and it's unlikely for LMK to kill high number of apps after the game has loaded.

This is the expected behavior and it's what I've encountered with games I've played on my S6.

If this is true, you will see tens of thousands of lmkcount because LMK is killing processes polled in microseconds. If you do see lmkcount off the roof, blame the game developer.

Even the unoptimized, memory-hogging GTA series games don't cause this.

Gaining more memory(reducing more allocated, used memory) is always good on Linux, especially on Android since it reduces memory pressure.

(Do not be confused with gaining more memory from reducing cached memory.)

You are so wrong. Use something like procps ps tool to properly look through this.

You don't get new 30 apps in the background if you debloat 30 apps.

You are mistaken because system still prioritizes what to put in the background.

You have less 30 apps to put in the background, less 30 apps to cache.

If you don't debloat, system tries to put all apps to the cache and each and every one of those takes at least 10MB. Debloating helps a lot.

I agree that current swap/vnswap/zswap implementation sucks because it is not aware of foreground, background apps.

Using high swappiness value does indicates to put more background stuffs in the swap, but it is not enough.

Foreground apps do suffer from the background apps working on non-swap memory pages.

Again I'll blame this to Samsung for

1) not having 8GB of RAM already

or

2) not optimizing TW already

TL;DR - Most of your complaints regarding gaming performance's culprit is most likely to be on somewhere not memory related.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] nadejo:
well it was my experience. but thank you anyways for answering

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Wyzp:
To get a good SoT you need to use your phone more (Oh, really ????), but not only this, you need to use it longer when you unlock it. I always wonder how people get 5-6H SoT, usually I get 3-3,5H SoT with 1D 17H+-, then I did a test.

Instead of lock and unlock my phone too much, I unlocked and used it longer (10,15 min), and ...., all the time doing this way I get 5-6H SoT.

Then I just think SoT depends of the user (MAYBE I'M WRONG, BUT ALL THE TIME I DID THIS WAY I GOT 6H SoT), if you are getting a good battery life (1D+) why bother about SoT ?

Another test kernel.

This version includes a new feature and I haven't been this excited in months.

I won't tell what has changed(blindtest).

Just try them out(if you are willing to), and report back on slowdowns.

I am only interested in visible slowdowns compared to previous kernels.

http://arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/kernel/test/misc-cpusets/

---EDIT---

Slowdowns are likely to be caused towards background apps. In theory, it shouldn't matter much since it's "background" but I'd like to see users feedback.

So watch out for multi-window multitasking, background music playbacks, annoyingly delayed notifications, etc.

Please feedback.

http://arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/kernel/beta/14.0-beta1

There are 2 releases, I want feedbacks from users who've used both of those 2 each at least 2 days.

One of them has vanilla Linux swap settings and

the other has Samsung's own swap settings.

I won't tell you which is which because I really want honest feedback here.

Please feedback on comparing overall performance and multitasking between A and B.

And yeah, the beta has interactive CPU governor stuffs fixed.

You won't be experiencing 1200 MHz stucks anymore. If you do, please report back.

My report for Alpha 4 : those small lags and freezes were back after 16 hours of uptime. But occur significantly lesser than it used to with Alpha 3.

Quick stats about misc-cpuset : running this build for 4 hours now. Geekbench and 3DMark benchmark scores are worse than before. Geekbench single around 1300 and multi around 4800.

But it looks like it's more fluid in games than before.

Also lags happen more than Alpha 4.
