Ok Ok...In fact I would like to keep te rom stok. No xposed, No Boeffla nothing else... It's fantastis smooth and so far no proble.

I have asked this ONLY because I'm not an expert user and you know well , better than me, the best settings to put !

;)

I don't know if lollipop cm12 suffer of wakeloks !!!! (only for battery performance!)

Last question: (I come from a tw 4.4.4...... is there a way to set a power saving mode ? (The only one is to go into settings, battery, profile, and select the energy saving mode (that color in red the status bar... not very beautiful to see...)

Thanks a lot !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
CM12.1 doesn't have wakelock , neither 11 or 13 , Gapps is the problem , gapps creates wakelocks with the continuous updates ( syncronizations ) , and about the battery save , they didn't add it for beauty , they add it as a warning , that's why it is red
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
This one is for the gamers: I've found a bug in Horizon Chase ... the sound is slow and not perfect.... :(

Anyone of you has the same problem ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Yes i'm aware that some games have this issue , i even tryed multiple fixes but unfortunatly they where without luck
[Galaxy S III Android Development] danielcuervog:
Any game that have the Unity engine, has these problem of the sound distortion. The solution is in this post -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66598442&postcount=154
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
MAN YOU ARE SUPERIOR !!!;)

Horizon chase runs faster again on my "lollipizzed" S3 !!!!:good::D

Now there are no excuses for anyone ..KITKAT IS FINALLY THE PAST !!!

I I take this opportunity to write a little review of this ROM after 3 days of hard utilization...

GOOD THINGS:

I have installed the previous ver and upgraded with the one in the 1st post.

Everythink is almost fast and smooth.... so far everything runs WELL !!!

Youtube, My favourite games (HORIZON CHASE RULEZ !!!!) whazzap, player pro, FACEBOOK (NOW WITH A BEAUTIFUL BLU BAR !!:D:D)....

but I was suffering some lags with the original kernel, due to the HARDWARE MEMORY LIMIT of 1 Gb.

Yesterday evening I've put BOEFFLA kernel and set (with boeffla config!) the Z RAM to 600 with the other value below set to 80.

No more lags.... For example I wal playing Candy Crush Soda Saga while a frind of mine messaged me via whazzap

and the popup sometimes came out while the game were running, I write the message, send it, and then the popup

desappered from the screen and I continued to play very well without any stop or reset of the game due to ram limitation...

I think that the multitasking on Lolly is only possible with the ZRAM option setting TO ON !

Another feature that I LOVE is the night mode... the one that let the screen become colored in dark yellow...

Gps is fast.... Waze runs well....

Fm radio is running well!

Lollipo material style is BEAUTIFUL ! everything is colorfull.... :o loving it !

Things that i DON'T LIKE ?

1 The screen feature "Adaptive brightness" I think that it's a little slow and sometimes you easy can see the tone goes down and 2 up in a way not so smooth and fast ad the TW original rom did.

2 The live display option seems useless to me, I don't see any changes excepted for the Reduce energy consumption that I keep ON (can't understad what id does in the toggles! i leave it set to automatic)

3 The battery saving mode should be in the notification toggles and don't color the red the bar.. This feature is important and to set it on I have to go inside the setting menu, battery and activate it... not so user friedly (with boeffla I prefer using the profiles to save battery if I m at the end of the day and I don't have enought battery....)

4. The original Google keyboard is BEAUTIFUL but has 2 bugs that i dont't like at all: The sound of the keys.... you can't set their volume so, it's terrible and o put the sound of the key to zero ! :) .... and it miss numeric line, but nothing so important....

5. when you have incoming call and the screen is off it has a 3 seconds delay to turn on and see who is calling...

I will never come back to kitkat... Grat experince with lollipop ! this old but great Phone is reborned !!!

So far that's all .... hope not to find other bugs :)

Than you to the developers !!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Behemoth1702:
@ rpdroky, thank you for this thread.

I actually came "back" from CM13 releases, because their performance and reliability was not good enough for my daily use after trying them out for 1-2 months. You know, that feeling when you're playing with a new toy and although it's not perfect you feel like it's awesome because it's new. Well, it was not. Fun little experiment, I really liked the permissions system, but then again CM already had it.

Thank you very much mate. CM at it's finest, clean, pure, stable. Finally a stable phone again. I'll wait a few more months before experimenting with anything else. Thanks also for using the UBER-tc, from what I read it's one of the best right now. I have no idea how the stuff works "in detail" but whatever small things builders do for performance, I appreciate it.

Thank you and have a nice day mate! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
I found the file prety hard but i managed to disable it , i tested the game mentioned by [MENTION=5999417]MaxI9300[/MENTION] and the sound was ok , i just hope that this won't cause side-efects on other apps/games , thanks for the info ;)

About yre "GOOD THINGS" I will have a look in weekend for ZRAM for more info

About the things "I DON'T LIKE" you must leave with them because this rom will remain stock except point 5 , i'm still trying to find a way to fix it :)

Glad that you like it , the next build will be avaible as soon as the new security updates will be avaible ;)

Cheers :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abdelkader azhar:
Every time when i use my phone

The word "thank you" comes out from my mouth

Thank you again

Don't stop

Make this rom the best in the world for i9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Behemoth1702:
Thanks!

No rush with the builds/updates. I'm glad I have a stable platform again. :) Take your sweet time, I'll gladly wait.

EDIT: Whoops, the only fly in the soup could be the "screen delay when getting call" which I read has been plaguing Lollipop on i9300 forever. Damn. I'll have to see how it works for me, if it does not I'm going back to 4.4, haha. :D It's a phone goddamit! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
Check boeffla kernel zram! It's fantastic... It gives you a bigger ram storage compressing and decompressing datas in it !!! Multitasking is quite well with your rom and boeffla kernel.

I don't have checked but it seems to me that this feature reduces the incall lag ...i will check!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] danielcuervog:
And don't have battery drain?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
I was thinking the same thing , that's why i sad i need to check it first , last thing i wan't is more battery drain
[Galaxy S III Android Development] akaSk8krew:
this rom don't need zram..i believe marshmallow needs, lollipop not..this rom is perfect..and perfect because is stock, pure..don't need zram..i can have multitask without zram..people if you prefer zram, why you just simple activate it?? with kernel auditor for example..just leave this rom just what it is:) perfect..

sorry my bad english
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
From my experience, LP needs ZRAM even with slight multitasking, the difference is evident, but in my case never caused any battery drain, I use it for about a year with many TW KK and CM12.1

pd.: I use one device of 400mb, in my worst scenario hardly use almost half of that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
Here is my opinion

You can't have everything.. You don't own an s7 !

You have a phone that today costs more or less 100€, not 700€ !!!!!

You have only 1 gb of ram, not 3 or 4 !!!!

The problem of the s3 is not the processor, that it's still good also today, it's the ram!!!!!!

So that's why...

I use zram as 600 /80 with boeffla kernel (default)

I have a great deep sleep (80% more or less)

For battery drain, i don't know... Try it yourself

I can't deactivate zram. With only 1gb in the year 2016 it's hard to let everything runs smooth and fast.

I think it's depend on your usage. If you only use whazzap you can deactivate zram, it would be useless. If you are an hard user of the phone, like me, with calls, whazzap, facebook, mail always sync... With wifi and 3g always on, with Chrome that i use installed (that is not so small in RAM!!) ...with a few games like horizon chase etc.. how can your system run smooth and fast with only 1 gb!?!!??!?

Battery drain ? I often put in recharge at midday when i am back home... Half an hour, with boeffla, it's almost a full recharge... Don t have any problem.

Even if i don t put it in recharge, i arrive at the end of the day ;)

Finally It' up to you my friends!! But i love for example, play candy crush, answer a message on whazzap, and see after the message has been sent, that candy crush is still there with no restart of the app!!!!! I think you have understood my opinion :)

Let me know your experience!

And if you use z ram let me know the best value for you. I m on 4 devices, 400 / 60

(Reduced my values to don't scandalize you!) ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] danielcuervog:
Your tip of zram it worked for me. In this case, with Clash of Clans, when I trying to type something, the game closes and it opens the Google keyboard. With the zram activated, now doesn't close.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
Happy for you my friend!!!!!!!

Now it's a matter to understad wich is the best setting of zram... Maybe the developer will help us in this answer when he will try the zram feature with the boeffla config
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
AFAIK the use of zram is dynamic, and the max value is the limit that can be compressed. For a long time I've used 600 mb, but as swap used (showed by boeffla app) rarely raised up to 200 mb, I've reduced the max value to 400 mb and didn't notice any change. The other parameter is swappiness, boeffla default is 80, I've raised to 90 (some guys put this value to the max) but to be honest, I hardly seen any effect.

There's not much science, the real difference is having zram enabled, and monitor the swap used value to adjust the max value accordingly.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Behemoth1702:
In short: ZRAM <-> battery life.

Because the compression of data coming into/out from ZRAM has to be processed by CPU it costs battery life. It is recommended to have all 4 devices active, because then all 4 CPUs can work on compressing data in situations where it is needed (usually big games etc. which already activate all 4 cores).

I still am not sure of what's the best size and swappiness, but after testing and watching the actual swap used I settled for 260MB/80 swappiness.

Google ZRAM for details. There is **** ton of information about it.

I don't play, but in normal use, I prefer only one device.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
About zram, I use Agni kernel (200 MB, 60 swappiness, 1 zram device) coz with Boeffla's I noticed some lags (Agni's zram device seems to me faster than the Boeffla one, but each phone is a story apart!). My phone is responsive, fast as hell (for a such old phone!) rock stable, this rom is really good also with its stock kernel, I use a custom kernel only for zram, led and usb charge tunings and cpu/gpu undervolting.

Really, many thanks to Rpdroky! (and many thanks to Boeffla and Psndna88!)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rodrigorgomes:
Boeffla or Agni.

Enable or disable zram.

I prefer Boeffla with zram.

Doesn't matter, this rom is a masterpiece.:victory:

rpdroky

Thanks again bro. :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] danielcuervog:
Any knows of this problem/bug? It happened to me since CM11 and I can't find the solution.

Enviado desde mi veterano S3 I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
What app do you use?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
@ danielcuervog

Much better to post your question in general area. Btw the problem seems to me a proxy one or similar thing. Maybe your phone has a wrong net configuration, or your provider cuts or filter some sites, or a "boost memory app" or adblock is too restrictive... The same page on my phone looks normally, as it should be... Sorry can't help you better!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] danielcuervog:
Stock browser and Chrome mobile. But my favorite is Opera Mini.

Yeah, sorry for that, but nobody answered in these area. And your suggestion it worked for me, the app Adfree was the causative of the problem. Thank you so much!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
I will make a new build today with all the changes including a 200mb zram with 60 swappiness ;) from the test's i did there was no need for more , but if you think it isn't enough fell free to go for custom kernel :)

Cheers :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] danielcuervog:
[MENTION=6155853]rpdroky[/MENTION] I will say again, your ROM is great, and with the zram settings of Boeffla is awesome.

cm-12.1-20160514-UNOFFICIAL-i9300.zip Online

- ZRAM enabled with 200 MB and 60 Swappiness

- Audio stuttering eliminated in most of the games

- ROM flashing process should be faster now

- CM source updated

Please note that mai security patches are

INCOMPLETE

, as soon as they are merged in completly i will make a new build with them included ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
1.Why only 200 megs of zram with 60swap ?

How did you tested those values ?

Are 400 megs/80 swap too much ?

(This is my config with boeffla)

2.how do you fix sound issues ? Just removed that file that caused the slowdown issue or you did something else ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChristianTC:
Thank you very much now the calendar is wonderful, very good job thanks. :)

There are two functions that do not work

Lock screen, Smart Lock, Trusted Face has stopped.

Buttons, Action Last app It doesn't work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
1 Simple , i used all the tips users gave me , nothing more, nothing less

2 Nope , i just disable it :) , thanks again [MENTION=5158400]danielcuervog[/MENTION] for the hint ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Trusted face never worked on lolipop , but if you can find a i9300 lolipop rom where it works just let me know , maybe i can find a fix in theyr source :) , and about last app i never used it so i don't know how to make it work
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChristianTC:
You can delete these two options? so it is more cleaner.

Or is there any way for I can hide these two options?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Both of them depends on gapps , so i can't
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChristianTC:
I am sorry rpdroky, Buttons, Action Last app works well.

Must be opened two applications from the button Recent apps and you can switch between the two.

Or with an open application, clicking the button Recent apps and open a second application and you can switch between the two.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abdelkader azhar:
About Zram i found that 200mb with 60 swap is not enough

300mb with 80 swap it's perfect

I used 200mb of Zram and i only opened whatsapp and facebook messenger at the same time then when i watched Zram status i found it full and facebook messenger become to slow

After that i raised up the value to 300mb with 80 swap and everything worked great

Sorry for my english
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
I've made a clean flash of the last version and everything went well, but uninstalling system apps was a pain in the a**. Titanium backup was unable to do it (when rebooting the apps "uninstalled" were still there) and I had to use many apps to remove what I always remove and don't use. Don't know why this is happening now with rom, and oddly enough this didn't happened yesterday trying last CM13.

All in all the rom works great, and I still prefer this over CM13.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
And the battery life is ok?

I guess the new updates cause yre problem atho i'm not sure
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abdelkader azhar:
Yes sir the battery life is ok

No problem with it

Only when using data connexion and also when using brightness with maximum level the battery drain but not too fast and this is normal

Note: i'm still using 01/05/2016 version
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Can you test 400 mb with 80 swap for me? my device is at service , the usb port got damaged and the charger didn't work
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abdelkader azhar:
Yes sir of course
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
Pay attention men!

I'm on zram 400/80swappines and sometimes when i use chrome the pop up of whazzap does not appear.... It depends if the ram is full with other stuff maybe...

The original size that Lord Boeffla suggested me was the default kernel one, but i don't wanna exceed... Now i am with 400/80
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Try 800mb 100 swap for me , sorry but i must split the test between you guyz til i get my device back :)

Edit: Do a reboot after you set it , im curious if the system apps will be in zram to
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
And he's right about everything , including "You can try which size fits you best, there is no harm in playing with this setting." , that's why i requested you to test that value
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
Have tried some method to calculate a zram size that fits the rom needs and the user needs. A very simple rule is to check the ram left by the operating system with gapps after a boot, before installing any other app. Then subtract 10%, the remaining value can be used as the zram size. This is a "one size fits all" method, not an exact one (that cannot exists!). Example: ram free after the boot before installing any app = 350 MB - 10% = 315 MB, set 315 MB as zram size. But cannot exists an universal rule, each phone is a world not equal to any other and changes its face quickly! I'm trying 300 MB now, in 2 days I can have an idea about how is good this value for my actual needs! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
Did u used root build into the rom? If so the most probable cuz of falling to disable or uninstall the apps with TB is default root..flash SuperSu and see how it goes ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abdelkader azhar:
So about the result

* Sunday at 21:30

* battery 93%

* Zram 400 swap 80

1- performance :

the phone works smooth and there is no lag. The applications work good no problem with them. Also using whatsapp and Facebook messenger and internet browser and xda at the same time but no problem the phone still works fine. But i felt that it become hot a little

2- battery life :

the battery works normal at 21:30 was 93% and at 00:45 become 45% so there is no fast drain.

hope that can help you and sorry if i made some mistakes in my speech
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
I always use SuperSu, so my surprise :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Thanks allot , Let us know about the results ;)

Thanks allot for the test , now please do for me another one , and this is tle last i request , use 300mb zram with 20 swap , i was thinking by useing low swappiness we can use first all normal RAM and then ZRAM
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
As I m not expert, I stay om your suggestion.

Also I'd like to use first normal ram, but i think that it s already like this even with a 80.90swap.

If i check the screen on boeffla config i can always see that the ram is almost full always, a little part of zram also and thebmost of 400megs of zram are free.... That's way i left it to 400 megs. The thing that i want to understand is the swap. I set it to 90 but I have not much that time to play today, so i can't test.... :(

---------- Post added at 06:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 AM ----------

If i was able to pist a screenshot of my boeffla config i d like to post it but i dont know how to do... It ask me a url but i have on my phone :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kryla:
Hi, rpdroky! Is the flashlight problem fix in this ROM (it off when the screen is off)?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
I use Zramcc, a spanish app to monitoring Zram in real time. Those are the results with Gallery, Opera browser, The Room game, Amazon app, Conversation app, Whatsapp all at a time! Not bad, I think, the phone is fast and responsive as ever! :)

I forgot to say I'm using Deep Darkness II theme also!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nikolas1274:
for me working

Στάλθηκε από το GT-I9300 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Those numbers are very confusing, I was doing some calculations and all percentages displayed are weird. If you use boeffla, I suggest you to rely on boeffla app.

ps.: Deep Darkness is great, but with the last mistake the author did, I should reflash a nandroid backup, so I'm using now Dark Material, which is even darker.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
Am I wrong or the issue of the lag for incoming call is almosto GONE with the use of Zram ?

I think that the system do a high use of it also for the system app (ex the phone) that now can stay resident thanks to the major space !

GREAT !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Strangley when i disabled the option that eliminated the audio lag in games the incoming call delay was reduced to , ZRAM is just a little bonus :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
This one is for you my friends!

This rom uses a lot of green, balck e grey.

So if you love material, try this background img

It's fantadtic in my opinion!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
I'm not spanish but there're the most important data translated:

Ram usada = total used real ram (normal ram + zram)

Ram libre = real ram free

Total ram = total real ram the kernel leave for the apps and operating system

Swap usada = used zram

Swap libree = free zram

Swap total = total zram size (used + free)

And... yes! The percentual displayed are weird! :)

Cheers!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
300 should be enough then? or 400?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abdelkader azhar:
Ok sir i will test

300mb o Zram with 20 swap
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
I think 300 can be a medium acceptable value, leaving to the Android LMK the remaining ram administration... but it's only my mind! ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Thanks guyz ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abdelkader azhar:
Hi sir

I found some deferent.

When using 300 of Zram with 80 swap

The Zram status become full quickly

And when using 300 Zram with 20 swap

I found that there is a lot of Zram free

However using about 7 application at the same time
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
and did you had multitasking problems with 20?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abdelkader azhar:
No i have not this problem

The phone seems working fine

But it become hot sometimes
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Well the CPU is working 100% so its normal to heat up
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abdelkader azhar:
Yes you are right

I think that 60-80 swap better than 20
