Guys, the cpu does not work 100%.

With this rom & bieffla kernel there is often al 80/90% of deepsleep !!!! You can check it in the 1st pg of boeffla config.

Ps Noone like my wallpaper :( am i the only one who think it s beautiful ? Poor Max.... :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] nikolas1274:
The cpu goes too deep sleep when screen is off,I think that is correct

What about 100 swap? how did that test go?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abdelkader azhar:
Sorry but you didn't told me to test it with 100 swap

I think you told another guy

But if want i will do it right now with honor
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
I fogot i told max to test that , sorry about that :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abdelkader azhar:
No problem

I will test it right now and tell you the result

And thank you for you great job

I really love this rom

[Galaxy S III Android Development] xpduyson:
Hi, I would like to share my perfect Boeffla-Config for this ROM. :D

My daily use app: Stock phone, stock messaging, Microsoft Outlook, Pushbullet, Spotify, Slide for Reddit, Twitter, Facebook Messenger, Slide for Facebook, XDA Lab, Google Keyboard, Keepass2Android, Greenify, Amplify, ...

With these settings I got 4 hours screen on time with minimum/acceptable lag:

1. Governor: pegasusq, standard profile

2. Scheduler: row

3. CPU Max: 1000 Mhz

3. CPU tweak: Idle mode: AFTR+LPA (idle + LPA if you don't like screen delay on incoming call).

4. GPU profile: 108/160/200/266/350

5. Touch boost: 800Mhz

6. zRam: 4 device, 400-420MB total size, 100 Swappiness (with these device, zRam can compress 4 time faster with lower (100-105MB) total ram usage).

7. Android Logging: turn off.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
i guess 100 swap is ok then :) thanks for shareing the profile with us ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
But your config AIN'T THAT GOOD FOR GAMES ! The cpe set to 1000mhz is too slow.... also the Gpu !

The only things that I copy from yr config is the Android Loggin OFF, also

I'm gonna use zram 400, and swap set 100 to see if it's faster; next the sheduler ROW and swap 100 .... I LIKE ALSO to PLAY and not use it only for facebook and normal aps... :) Anyway thanks for your share
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Behemoth1702:
To be honest man, not to offend anyone here but relying on SOME posts from XDA people without doing proper tests yourself is not the best thing. I mean some people call their phones "daily drivers" yet they reboot their phone daily instead of just letting it be "a phone" and just run. A daily driver is a ROM that works smoothly & stable even after a week, at least in my opinion. And that's another point. "Opinions".

So while I really appreciate you taking feedback seriously I'd like to think that as someone who releases ROMs you don't trust posts blindly and verify data yourself. :)

Thanks again for keeping this ROM updated.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
I totaly agree with you , unfortunatly til i get my device back from the service all i can do is gather refereces and opinions :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
This is not so easy as u say!

I mean... How can i test a difference between 80swap or 100swap if i am not an expert user ? If someone has tesded it and tell us it's better to set swappiness to 100 because it's faster, i give it a try... Forums are built for this... To share opinions and test isn't it?

So i'm trying 100swap and let's see if the phone/battery/games/aps are better..

Thanks! :)

[MENTION=5272505]Behemoth1702[/MENTION] Intel tested zRam, they recommend 400MB zRam size and 100% swappiness

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
From the link above of intel test

"ZRAM size: 400 MB

swappiness: 100

These settings will allocate about half of the physical memory that is generally available for user processes to a compressed swap area (ZRAM) and instruct the kernel to aggressively use swap for dirty pages (so clean pages tend to stay in the page cache). This will certainly result in some performance degradation on systems under memory pressure, yet the positive trade-off is that it will be possible to run programs of much larger size than the physical memory generally available for user applications."

Performance degradation ?!?!?! What does it mean ??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
About swappiness, for this rom and this device a value of 60 is near ideal if not even "aggressive". To set swappiness in *this* device you must know the total memory available for apps and os, and the memory left free after the basic apps and basic operating system had got their required memory. Assuming a near 500 MB free (left) on first rom's boot this means a 60% of the total ram available, then if you want the os begin to swap at this value of free ram you should set swappiness to 60. If you want the os start to swap at a lower free memory value you should decrease the swappiness value, example, a value of 20 start to swap at 20% of memory left. You can use values higher than 60 but the result is near the same, for this rom and this device.

Swappiness is the attitude the os has to swap in a 0 to 100 integer range, feel free to try any value you want, I guess after trying and trying the value you choose lies between 60 and 90! :) Good tries!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
Who's got the reason between you and Intel ?

They say to put 400 with a swap of 100 !!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
It's only a matter of trying. Intel doesn't knows what I have in my phone, a phone Android powered isn't a Linux PC, there are some similitudes, sure, but too many are the factors to consider in a detailed analysis, and to avoid serious headhache its better to stay simple but effective and pratical! The answer is: follow the hint or try yourself with reasonable values! Cheers! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Behemoth1702:
Can you post a link to the source of your information about the relationship of "percentage of free memory <--> swappiness value"? I have never read anything about "if you set swappiness to 60 it will start swapping when there is 60% of physical RAM left".

Please, put more "!!!!!" into your posts, it really does look mature. Calm down, stay nice and if you're unable to use proper english (reason between x & y is not a real sentence) at the very least don't spam "!!!" like a 12 year old.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] danielcuervog:
So in conclusion, what is the best settings of zram?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
This is one link...

https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/linux-swappiness/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Nobody can tell you what are THE BEST settings because they are dependent of use, but a balanced compromise that works very well for me is: 400mb in one device, swappiness 80-100

ps.: anyway the differences aren't so dramatic to spend much time fine tuning it, the greatest difference is when having zram enabled
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
1st off all i'm not a 12 years old boy, so behemot you should calm down, not me... I only didn't know that we are not allowed to put "!!!!"... It's not a question of respect. Only to give more surprising tone to a post, i think i have not offended anyone.

2nd Viktor92 is right. The high difference it's only to have zram on. I don't know if you have seen this: if in boeffla config you set only zram, for example on 400, that i think it's the most used value, but you set swappines to off, it automaticaly put a value of 80 (in grey but it's on!!!)

So at the end i left it at 400/80.

3rd will be there future release of our loved lollipop 5.1.1 cm 12.1 ? What's left to do ?

I think that apart from the camera quality (samsung original is unfortunally different as quality), with this rom S3 could be sell in shops also today as a medium range phone :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
I'm running right now with swappiness=100 and all is fine, at least as good as 80 (my common value)

IMHO there's no difference between 300 or 400 of Zram if you don't reach the maximum. It's not a memory space reserved, it's the maximum memory that can be compressed, so if the compressed memory is 150 mb, 300 or 400 of Zram is the same.

ps.: the battery drain is the same at swp=100
[Galaxy S III Android Development] makankaki:
hope there will be stock setting in next release. i dont want to use zRam.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
You *must* use zram with a 5.x.x+ rom on i9300, a 200 MB minimum is mandatory to avoid the os starts to kill your running apps in a short time. If you don't like zram you can disable it by setting swappiness to 0 using an init.d file, but if you use your phone as a modern phone and as not as an hi-tech paperweigth you will replace (hurry up!) quickly this "0" with a "60" or higher value! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
Perfect explenation! ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kryla:
Hi [MENTION=6155853]rpdroky[/MENTION]! Yesterday instal your ROM and it is working very smooth. Thanks!!!

But the flashlight issue still present: when you turn on flashlight (torch) and then block the screen, torch turn off automatically after a few seconds (~10-60 sec), but there is notification that flashlight turn on. It should be lighting. Can you look for this issue?

Many thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
All of you know how subjetive are this opinions, but I'm running from yesterday with swappiness=100, and I believe that is the best value for perfomance :good:

ps.: obviously don't expect miracles ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Ofcorse it turns off , it is the camera's blitz , it wasn't ment to be a real flashlite , that's why it turns off to prevent damageing it
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
Boys, I don't know you, but I'm enjoing myself a lot with lollipop (& swap) :) .... The multitasking is fantastic ... Popup notification as whazzap, sms, facebook on what you are doing without close nothing is fantastic!.. The graphic of material design is fantastic.. From the keyboard, to the colors of status bar, navbar... The smooth of everything...

I have wasted so many time on kk ... I love lollipop on my s3... It s totaly a new phone with a totaly different user experience... I don't own a tablet, and the pc is only in office. Here at home i have only my s3 and I don't miss nothing! Also for The games like Horizon Chase it's more smooth than on kk!!

Thanks everyone who made this possible.. I think this rom has made a gift to me of one year more of lifetime of my phone ;)

The only thinks that it miss is the quality of samsung camera mostly at night (daytime it's ok) but I hope someone will find a way to fix.

Thanks again to everyone who made this possible!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
Oh yes! All the super thanks & credits to *Rpdroky* here, sure also big thanks to all the others heroes (Archi, Arter, Boeffla, Psndna88 and others!) who have helped to achieve this miracle by sharing their knowledge obtained with hard work! And thanks to everyone who contributed in some way to enhance the Lollipop i9300 experience, in spite of Samsung! ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
By the way..

which launcher and browser and other common aps are you using with our lollipized s3 ;) ?

I use nova launcher and chrome.

I love chrome because it support material design and today many sites color the status bar according to the action bar...

Nova is a must.

I have deactivate browser and music original aps

For chrome and player pro aps.

Don't like that much the gallery because you can't copy one pics that you have in one folder, to another folder!!!!! And then it does not show wmv files.

I'm thinking to move to quickpic app.

For the keyboard i miss the "tick" sound of original samsung keyboard (deactivate the original sound cause you can't set the volume and it's not so good)

But now after a week using it, i love the material design of the keyboard. I think i won't change it!

And photo camera app ?

So..

what about you ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Nova launcher for me it's the best and fastest.

As a browser, I use lightning, is fast and not so heavy on memory

QuickPic it's the fastest and my default gallery.

Swiftkeys is my keyboard of choice.

And the best stock camera replacement is Snap Camera HDR, but up to v8.03, latest versions have some bugs yet.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
#1 I do apologize but i'm not an expert user.

I've tryed Snap C.Hdr. ....:good: WOW..... fantastic foto (don't understand why it takes 4 pics instead of 1 in hdr!)

Does it has its own camera drivers or does it use the one from this cyanogenmod of the rom ?

It seems to me that the quality is nearest to the original Samsung drivers, anyway I don't have tryed it at night...

#2 If you arrive at the end of the day with a critical battery sistuation, what do you do ? You set the battery save mode under the battery option, or do you use a preset boeffla battery profile (for example battery yank) to save energy ? What's best ?

(thx everybody !)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Behemoth1702:
Just had a hot reboot out of nowhere , 2nd time this happens with lollipop + boeffla. So much for daily driver... The phone gets slower after ca. one and a half day of use until eventually it hot-reboots.

Damn. I don't run any fancy apps or anything, phone is pretty clean.

Does anyone else have this after they use their phone for a longer period of time without rebooting? I'll try sticking to default kernel until the next reboot happens.

Is there any information I can share with the DEVs to help fix this?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
uhm... I'm using 2016/05/01 version, Agni kernel, installing/uninstalling many apps, photos, gaming, 300 MB zram, 24/24h 5 days without a manual or crash reboot, or slowdown... uhm... perhaps you have an sd memory corrupted...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
I've used Snap HDR on TW and CM roms, so don't worry. It takes 4 pics because you have "Keep HDR exposures" checked under HDR options.

I never have the need to switch to a battery saving mode, because I always have an usb near, or I have a power bank in my bag, so I can't give you any advise on this.

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------

Sorry to hear this, but I never had a hot reboot with this rom and boeffla (and to be honest, rarely had one with any rom). Can't say how many days I've used the phone without rebooting because I'm always updating or testing something, but many days without restarting the phone never was a problem for me. Anyway I've tried a program called Auto Reboot from Asim Pereira, rebooting the phone every day at 3 AM, and works very fine, maybe you can use it if you don't find a solution...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
Do you think that with snap camera the quality of the pictures are nearest to original samsung s3 drivers or it's still lower due to the cyamogenmod generic drivers ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Good news , i got my device back from service , unfortunatly only charging mode works as the motherboard was damaged to , but i still can use the browser for file transfer so everything is ok ;) hopefully i won't brick-it as ODIN only works with usb cable :eek:

Thanks, I just got out of bed, sleepy and lazy, sorry. :) Thanks for the tips!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
It's hard for me to tell you, but I think the picture quality is pretty much the same as stock. The HDR mode of stock camera is unbeatable, but at least in v8.03 it comes very close, but you have to adjust the parameters to obtain the best result (what is great, because this is a generic camera for all devices and not tailor made for the S3).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
I have 6.5.2 downloaded from playstore. On it there is not yr version.. So far it's good.

Anyway i left it always on "auto" for all settings

I m not so expert to change them.

But do you always use Hdr ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
[MENTION=3839997]behemoth1[/MENTION]72

If you cannot format the internal sd card by a usb cable and a PC you can format it by twrp recovery. My hint is to copy all your sd (internal and external) on a PC hard disk then format both sd. Good luck! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Download v8.03 from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2055140

Yes I use HDR when is needed, and in version 6.5.2 I got colored artifacts in many pictures on the edge of the objects. HDR was much improved in v8.0x, but the best version IMO is 8.03.

EDIT: sorry, all this was way OT
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MaxI9300:
It's not ot :) i think it's a good advice to overcome the low level of the quality of the cm12 camera ! :)

Now i repeat my question: what's left to do with this rom ? Does it miss anything ? For me it's almost perfect !!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Can't ask for more, but since some time I have many troubles with MTP mode, and I have to juggle with modes and disconnect-reconnect the usb cable to write something on external SD because most of the time it appears as read only, or windows says it's disconnected. With last version I made a clean flash and I have updated samsung drivers on the PC (which caused me a lot of weird problems) and for a little time the problem seemed solved, but it's here again...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] orsonbear:
Try disabling debug usb in developer options, sometime helps! Also replacing the usb cable with a better one may helps! Good luck!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] viktor92:
Cable is good, will try disabling usb debug ;)

Nope , CM team focuses on CM13.0 so there won't be so many updates on cm12.1 to need a OTA updater , that's why i make the builds biweekly

Maybe its a gapps issue , as open gapps is based on nightly builds , other then that i don't know , sorry

There isn't , It is preconfigured with the value , you can check it with Zram + from playstore , and if you realy want to use custom values then just flash a custom kernel
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
Can't he just use Kernel Adiutor to adjust or customize some part of stock kernel?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rpdroky:
Sure he can , the problem is that i used 4 devices for ZRAM and kernel auditor can change only the 1st device , that's why i recommended a custom kernel for custom values
