I managed to reduce the incoming call lag in my experimental build , but i need to test it a little before i upload it because the modification affects RAM management

Cheers :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Download it from market, and in my case was necessary to remove the SD R/O status.

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

Why the lag should be because low ram, if the bloated stock rom doesn't have it ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Well Lolipop was ment initialy for devices with more then 1GB RAM and it was tweaked to run on less , that's why most of the developers recommend CM11
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
Rpdroky, many thanks for your works on cm 11 12 13! I'm still using your latest cm 13 test release with Boeffla Kernel. I cannot test the roms with ttl enabled kernel coz my new provider allows tethering without additional fee, but I keep it for future tests, many thanks! I'm focusing now in virtual memory testing, it seems to me better to use a swap partition on a fast SD in place of zram. At this time I'm using an 1 GB swap partition on a class 10 U1 UHS 1 micro SD but I'm waiting a class U3 UHS 1 micro SD that should be faster. I don't see more lags using the SD swap partition, at least no more than the zram, perhaps less! Using a swap partition instead of zram brings more stability due the higher availability of uncompressed ram, more uncompressed ram is a good hit for our phone hunger for ram! With the current large diffusion of fast microSDs it's now more convenient to use a swap partition instead of a zram disk in our old phone (I think so, duh! :) btw, I'm testing this idea! ). Cheers and happy new year to all!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Ok , il make 2 pure stock ( with no extra tweaks or custom toolchains ) builds for 11 and 12.1 tomorow when il get back from work :)

Stock CM11 and CM12.1 Online

:victory: Happy New Year ! :victory:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Logan:
Hello :D

First time i notice this thread i was looking for cm11.

First i was reading the forum and as i see there is a lot of kernel changes so i guess latest version can work with boeffla kernel 2.14NG or not?

and what might be the difference as boeffla kernel is eol so is not possible to receive an update.

Second does the camera have bugs because in latest official cm11 snapshot my camera is buggy even with fix zip and nobody there to check it out,

Same question for cm12.1.

Thanks for your work :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Well my builds are kinda experimental so i advice you to go with the stock ones :)

Boeffla kernel works only on stock builds til i find out what i messed up :eek:

Well the camera issue is a well known one and since cm11 it wasn't entirely fixed so i can't do much about it :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] timjosten:
[MENTION=6155853]rpdroky[/MENTION], I have found some problems watching videos on this ROM (CM12.1). At first it is okay, then after about twenty short videos, it stops playing at all. MX Player shows black screen with loading indicator forever. Firefox cannot play videos either. Just grey box is appearing. Only reboot helps for another 20-30 clips.

Have you seen such behavior?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mpsoft:
Somebody try latest CM11 and CM12.1 ?

I want to install 12.1. Which is better ROM (battery,camera,stability)

Thank [MENTION=6155853]rpdroky[/MENTION] for your work!:)

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

I want to install [MENTION=6155853]rpdroky[/MENTION] CM12.1 latest ROM. How about camera issues, battery life...

Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Simon_29:
I have seen such a behavior when i activated ksm. You can try to deactivate it with a kernel configurator app.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] timjosten:
Looks like there is no KSM enabled in CM12.1 builds. Will test the last JustArchi build to see if it makes any difference.

Also, i9300 is very low on RAM, I can barely use a big single app in foreground, Android keeps closing everything in background, even launcher! I am experimenting with the swap partition to do something about this...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xpduyson:
If you want to use heavy game and app (facebook, chrome, google now, ...), better multitasking and long-term stability, use CM11.

CM12.1 if fine if you don't use ram consuming app, sometime the phone lag after unlock or on incoming call.

Camera on CM12.1 not working properly with the snapchat-like new Facebook Messenger camera, wrong aspect ratio for both front and back camera.

CM12.1 has full GPU hardware acceleration (no screen tearing) but unstable, it crash sometime while browsing /r/gifs on any reddit app (modern gifs are short h264 video without audio, play them too much freeze the phone); and it incompatible with some weird video acceleration method like my local TV mobile app, video framerate slowed down to something like 18fps instead of 24fps and logcat screaming about EGL.

For any CM version I recommend use 400 to 800MB zram with 2 to 4 device. Personally on CM11 I use 800MB with 4 device, this is the only way to handle the full Facebook foreground, Spotify in background. Without zram, when I play any facebook video, spotify close immediately. It make the phone run a little bit slow, but reload is slower most of time.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] timjosten:
You mean, you create 2-4 zram devices each of size 100-200 MB? Then place swap on them?

Looks like zram is single-threaded, so the count of its devices should definitely be bigger than 1.

i9300 has ~850 MB of RAM, how can it utilize 800 MB of zram?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] timjosten:
I made a test video. After playing it in Firefox, no more videos work. Even local videos in MX Player! This is severe bug causing the whole HW video decoder to hang.

http://bloody-reservist.000webhostapp.com/test.mp4

Downloading and opening it locally actually works, so this video clip is normal, nothing special.

Please test and get back with the results.

CM12.1 from JustArchi suffers from this bug too

update:

Official CM11 is not affected.

update 2:

Official CM14.1 is affected just the same like CM12.1. Looks like we are using the wrong BLOBs.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aaceaze:
Hello guys!

Need a serious help!

I've been using this ROM for 3-4 months now. While it was very smooth in the beginning, nowadays, it has slowed down considerably and very frustating to use it even for day-to-day task.

Should i reflash it? or any other tips?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xpduyson:
800MB is the original data before compression, compressed memory usually smaller than that.

In my attachment, the original data is 388MB, but divided to 4 zram to 97MB, each zram device compress those to 45MB so actual zram used in ram is 178MB. More zram device = more compression = better multitasking = phone run slower.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] timjosten:
First of all, try to TRIM your /data partition. Then leave the phone alone for a while.

You can use this app for this task:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fifthelement.trimmer
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
First of all every cm rom after cm11 has the incoming lag or camera crash issue and even cm14.1 has it , even archi explained here how the things will end up

And about the reason KMS is not enabled its simple because the camera crashes with it enabled , all you can do is use a custom kernel and enable ZRAM ( it will help with the memory issue at the cost of battery life ( compression and decompression requires CPU usage ) )

Trimming is done automaticly by the ROM
[Galaxy S III Android Development] timjosten:
Yeah! But if he doesn't charge the phone overnight, but keep charging it in a car for short periods, like me, Android will never automatically TRIM :))

Do not apply that commit blindly. It was there for information only. I mentioned to change the function IsWhitelisted to always return true, just change the last line of that function to return true, that's all. On KitKat this function is in different file, I mentioned it too.

I have compiled the latest CM11 with this fix and it is running fine with Xposed 2.6.1
[Galaxy S III Android Development] i9000usersa:
Hi, first of all, thanks to rpdroky for this ROM. It served me well for a long time. I was having a problem so I flashed 14.1 because I thought it might be a ROM issue but the problem persists. When I charge the phone overnight and leave the clock screensaver on, at some point in the night the phone switches off. Is this a config/software issue or is it hardware? I am using boeffla kernel. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sak0071:
Hi the last ROM cm11 on boeffla kernel?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Did you undervolt it? because if you go way to low with the voltages it may cause that issue

Only the stock build atm

I will try to finish the new cm11 build this weekend based on lineageos and try to fix the custom kernel compatibility issue :)

Cheers :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] loc1507:
Hi [MENTION=6155853]rpdroky[/MENTION], will you also try to apply the patch for the xposed compatibility proposed by [MENTION=5790692]timjosten[/MENTION]? This would be great for many users. Anyway, thank you for this great rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] i9000usersa:
Yeah. I found that was the problem. I'm on Lineage OS now and I decreased the amount of undervolting and everything seems to be working really well. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mpsoft:

Sorry if this was said before but cm-12.1-20161226-RPDROKY-i9300.zip does not start after installation - got stuck on boot logo after updating android apps messages (clean installation from stock with full wipe etc.). Not sure but presumably this could be related to this error (based on logcat I have seen) https://github.com/ResurrectionRemix/android_frameworks_base/issues/139.

Anyway, the same clean installation using older cm-12.1-20161015-RPDROKY-i9300.zip went perfectly.

Hi [MENTION=414534]RPD[/MENTION]rpky,

I dirty installed the latest version of your rom and there is no bootloop caused by the incompatibility of xposed and the latest security patches. I will test it a little bit longer to be sure, there are no side effects by the patches you made. Thank you for your work on this rom.

Which is the good choice for games ? Lineage 11 or CM 12.1
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viro18:
I'd always recommend 11 for stability and battery life.. also when playing games! You should check if your game works with android 4 otherwise use newer version.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
How is this different from the CM11 nightlies? I am sorry, I don't really understand any of this, hence the stupid question.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viro18:
Rpdoky builds of cm 11 contain latest security patches etc.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Hamx5:
Hi guys, thank to rpdoky for the stable rom. Cm 11 is still a glorious build for i9300.

I'm on last build clean flash, I have to report a bug and ask a question.

- Bug: in display settings, extended desktop doesn't work despite activating the option. Fortunately I found a workaround, going in quick settings panel I activate the extended desktop tile. Activating the extended desktop tile, it works correctly.

- Question: I'm trying to find an option for display color calibration like cm12 and later. Typing "color calibration" on searching tab in settings option, the color calibration setting appear, but when i tap on that option, setting app goes to the display settings page and there isn't any kind of color calibration option. So the question is, how can I calibrate the color on cm11 without installing exposed framework and gravity box, maybe modifying some android configuration files manually?

This i9300 amoled display is old and need a good calibration.

Thanks to all

Have anyone issues with youtube app on this rom?

On my device YouTube app doesn't show the option to change video quality.

Hope that someone can answer me. Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] amit.rooteds3:
All 4.4.4 roms have this prob here is the solution-

1] First you will need a file browser that supports access to root folder... if you dont have any installed....Search into playstore for "root file browser"

2] Next goto root directory and then into system folder... scroll down you will find build.prop file... Its always safe to copy this file somewhere in your phone or sdcard as a backup copy before you edit this file.

3] Open the file and search for line that says buildversion= 4.4.4

4] Change the build version to either 4.4.2 or 5.0.1 or 4.3.0... I suggest changing to 4.4.2.

5] Save changes and exit browser and reboot your device.. Now you can change youtube video quality
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Hamx5:
I love you, it works!! Thanks!

Any idea for browser problems? When I try to use google images, browser go crazy and show artifacts. I tried another browser (HTC browser) and get same problem. I have also tried a browser (something like "cornobrowser") downloaded from XDA Labs, but after 1 or 2 starts, it stopped working. So, do you have any browser suggesstion? (Except firefox)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] amit.rooteds3:
try opera browser... opera mini should also work.

Sory just a quick question..

Did the new build one will be based on the latest snapshot of cm-11 or cm-13..??

If so, then I will be looking forward to try it because so far imo cm-11 and cm-13 is the most stable one :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
Hi Rpdroky! Glad to see you!

I'm using your CM11 now for whatsapp video chat and it works fine, but I cannot create any zram disk or use a simple swap file/partition. Seems the zram disk device is absent in the dev/block folder and the command to activate a normal swap disk returns error like "swap partition (or file) doesn't exists" but it exists :D

- Hotplugx default cpu governor ( credits to imoseyon and gokhanmoral )

- FIFO default i/o scheduler ( for more info click the buton below )

FIFO (First in First Out):

First in First Out Scheduler. As the name says, it implements a simple priority method based on processing the requests as they come in.

Benefits:

- Serves I/O requests with least number of CPU cycles.

- Best for flash drives since there is no seeking penalty.

- Good data throughput on db systems

Disadvantages:

- Reducing the number of CPU cycles corresponds to a simultaneous decline in performance

- Not very good at multitasking

The bottom line: Like Noop, but is less common. If you want a very simple I/O scheduler algorithm (because of battery life or latency reasons), you can select this.

- TTL mangling support enabled

- ZRAM support added but disabled by default ( use kernel auditor mod to enable it )

- ROM build with -O3 optimization ( except kernel because with -O3 kernel the rom bootloops )

- Opticharged to reduce inbuilt apk size ( credits to [MENTION=5105835]Cl3Kener[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION] )

- Xposed compatibility fixed (thx to [MENTION=5790692]timjosten[/MENTION])

- March 2017 security updates ( big thanks to [MENTION=6157686]xpduyson[/MENTION] )

The default browser still shows black screen while playing youtube videos so i advise you to download uc browser or firefox til i manage to fix it

Cheers :highfive:
