Okay so here is my setup. I had wifi on pretty much all day. Gps on all day (power saving) I had 28 min of talk time. 45 min of music playing. Texting, Facebook, etc. I also had powe saving mode on the entire time. Phone was pretty snappy given the fact I had power save enabled. All stock 4.4.4 I also used leandroid to shut off LTE and wifi during sleep.

Edit: I was able to get 5 hrs SOT and 10 hrs 15 min total time by the time i hit 15%. I'm pretty happy :D

That is stock ROM.
Working HWC = Better battery life
Mine was more or less the same, but i did alot of downloading and music playing,so...
However that was also impossible for me on stock 4.3
Anyways that is good to hear.
Which CPU governor did you use? And what was maximum frequency?
Thanks for sharing :)

Everything is stock. So no root or anything. I didn't change cpu at all. I just turned off a lot of the bloat apps through app manager.

Also my batteries are almost a year old. I noticed when phone charges to 100% i lose 1-3% in a few min after being unplugged. Anyways ill continue to try different settings and see what i can get out this pig. 5 hours SOT and 10+ hours total time is pretty good for 15% left.

@arter97
Concerning the foldermount issue, the app has been updated to work with the newer sdcardFS and now it is working flawlessly
So no need to keep the switch for older SdcardFS :)
however please other foldermount users confirm that it is working with new sdcardFS, i.e. ensure that the sdcardFS box is CHECKED in aTweaks :D

EDIT: Ooops! I mistakenly unchecked the sdcardFS, this was a faulty response. Will enable sdcardFS from aTweaks and get back
EDIT2: foldermount is still broken :( that means we still need that switch :/
EDIT3: That is strange. Just tried latest Devil3.4_0.5.3 kernel and before the update, foldermount didn't work, but when the app was updated foldermount worked. This verifies that Devil kernel is using the newer SdcardFS, so the question is why the updated foldermount ain't work correctly with the newer sdcardFS here in arter's kernel ??!
And it's stated in the foldermount changelog that it now supports Samsung KK ROMs
:rolleyes: :eek:

You must thank me for your blazing 5hrs+ screen-on time. Without me you wouldn't be able to , somehow, brick your device and decide to go back to stock 4.4.4 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :D

There is a 3.0-test version that is available at a site. It is just a few posts before, maybe a page or two, you will find a arter97.com specific link to test kernels. Select the 3.0 one.
It is flawless :)

Here you are: arter97.com/test
Select the arter97-3.0 one

Running 3.0 test since yesterday. No problem so far. No idea why zram does not work?
One request: Please, can you bring back stock screen display in the next version? If someone doesn't like it, he/she can easily change it on atweaks.
Interactive GOV with ECO hotplug provides lag free performance and absolutely kick ass battery life for my phone. Not as trendy as the other governors, but it works flawlessly for me.

Yes I do, and actually I did it in previous post:
P.S. And sure I cannot confirm 6.57.9 is free from all these problems because this recovery doesn't exist yet for my device.

Hey @arter97 I have just observed this bug again.
During my custom backup to extcard I have a reboot at some point (not sure it is the same from one time to another).
I powered off the device and then tried to perform the backup again using internal and external card (just to be sure the target doesn't make the difference). The reboot didn't repeat, but I have a same freeze at some point during /data backing up (with internal and external card both).

Rebooting, connecting charger didn't help. And again 6.48.4 did the job well.

    /* More informations */

    Based on stock SHV-E210S kernel source
    Samsung has put massive updates in their Android 4.4 kernel compared with Android 4.1 kernel. By being based on stock SHV-E210S kernel source, arter97 kernel is miles ahead of where other CyanogenMod-based kernels are slowly catching up behind.
    Dual-booting
    arter97 kernel implements simple yet seamless multi-boot solution that does not need a dedicated recovery. It's also faster, thanks to raw extracted method instead of slow loop mounted images.
    To start, enter recovery(CWM, PhilZ) and flash arter97-multi-boot.zip. The ZIP files you flash afterwards will be stored in the 2nd-ROM slot(/data/arter97_secondrom) until you exit or restart recovery.
    Reboot back to 1st-ROM, and use newly installed 'aSwitch' to control 2nd-ROM. You cannot select between two ROMs on the initial start-up time.
    * 2nd-ROM's /system partition will be always mounted R/W due to its limitations.
    * Backup & restore will not work for 2nd-ROM. Don't try it unless you want your entire device screwed all over.
    * Do not select data wipe on 2nd-ROM installation! 1st-ROM data might be lost instead.
    Advanced mDNIe control
    arter97 kernel offers advanced mDNIe control by AndreiLux, leaving every single controls available for the screen in the palm of your hands.
    Knock-On
    arter97 kernel offers full Touch Wake functionality(by Ezekeel & Yank555.lu) with additional 'Knock-On' feature. Within the desired timer you set, Touch Wake will only work by double-tapping.
    Touch Wake
    Touch Wake has been improved in arter97 kernel. Not only the implementation of 'Knock-On' feature, you can now set a seperate timer on charge, force to also work on physical button pressed.
    Compiler
    arter97 kernel uses the latest Linaro-toolchain. Linux kernel's compiler profiles has also been backported from Linux 3.16 for more compiler bug-fixes, performance improvements.
    Memory managements
    arter97 kernel is fully upstreamed to the latest Linux 3.0.101. This provides improved stability, performance and memory management. But many developers forget to properly match Samsung's CMA memory management to Linux 3.0.101. arter97 kernel is the only kernel properly upstreamed to Linux 3.0.101 with CMA, meaning better memory management than other kernels.
    If you're using Android 4.4 KitKat, ROM can work together with arter97 kernel which improves memory managements even further.
    File-system
    Battery and access speed to /sdcard is also improved by utilizing Samsung's sdcardfs and ditching Google's fuse implementation. Users can disable sdcardfs allowing FolderMount to work properly.
    FAT32 latency is improved, and AIO(Asynchronous I/O) is backported from Linux 3.6 with latency improvements.
    f2fs
    arter97 kernel is the first Android kernel(since 2013/08) to feature full f2fs support with selective partitions preferences. If you manage to make a switch from ext4 to f2fs, theoratically, your device's flash storage can perform up-to 2x faster. arter97 kernel also continously backport the latest f2fs from Linux 3.19+. This f2fs will be even more faster, reliable than other Android kernels.
    PhilZ recovery dedicated for f2fs makes users easy to switch. Install kernel and recovery, wipe /data and /cache, that's it.
    Boeffla Sound Engine
    Boeffla Sound Engine is the only custom audio engine available in arter97 kernel. Go and download 'Boeffla Sound Control' from Google Play store.
    Android logger control
    Android logger, aka logcat can produce a lot of garbage datas even when you don't need them. You can explicitly disable Android logger completely, or make it clear itself when the screen goes off(which is the default).
    Mali graphics
    arter97 kernel uses the latest Mali driver available for Samsung's Exynos 4412 phones, r3p2. It also uses the latest Mali blobs from N7100 ROM, which is built more recently than GT-I9300 ROMs.
    Automatic kernel panic log dumper
    When you use a custom kernel, you may experience unexpected malfunctions like sudden reboots. You should dump the kernel log and report it to the developer to help, but it may be very tiring to manually dumping and sending it. To make your life easier, arter97 kernel automatically dumps kernel log when kernel panic happens, and stores it on /sdcard/arter97.
    Kernel-side Camera shutter sound control
    arter97 kernel can force and turn off the speaker while the rear camera is operating. Since this is a kernel-side implementation, it doesn't need any ROM side support. Control available from aTweaks.
    Powerboost
    Powerboost is a function that dynamically boosts your device's performance when an external charger is connected. Since none of the power savings are needed while the device is charging, you can experience much more faster speed during that period.
    Boost-boot
    Boost-boot is a function that can reduce boot-up time up-to 20 seconds. It uses 'performance' CPU governor, 'no-op' I/O scheduler and 1024kB readahead when the device is booting.
    aTweaks
    aTweaks is a live-kernel-controller dedicated for arter97 kernel based on STweaks. You can control almost every aspects that arter97 kernel offers. Installing BusyBox before using is recommended.
    aSwitch
    aSwitch is a dual-boot settings for arter97 kernel. It can wipe 2nd-ROM's /system, /data and /cache. You can also set /sdcard sharing option within aSwitch.

    /* FAQ */

    I get 'status7' error while installing!
    Your recovery is out-dated. Go and install a newer one.
    Any recommended kernel settings?
    The defaults are the most recommended settings. Try and use the default settings for several days before tweaking it yourself.
    No GPU clock controls?
    No. I personally don't like exposing GPU clock controls to users. I have no plans of adding these controls to my kernels.
    I'm experiencing data-losses, device shutdown while downloading torrents!
    Please turn off 'Dynamic Fsync' from aTweaks. Note that this may make your device slower.
    Screen mode settings are not working!
    mDNIe settings is moved to aTweaks. Please use the settings from there.
    My screen color is inverted!
    Tap the home-button 4 times. It's a kernel feature, please read the entire post.
    The boot animation is laggy after installing this kernel!
    The root cause is unknown for now, but it is normal and doesn't affects anything else.
    Personal Hotspot is not working after switching to another kernel!
    It's due to hostapd binary change. Go and re-flash your ROM.

    Okay.

    After a second thought, yes, I'm releasing my Git repository open for everyone.

    You guys are right. It's about the entire community, not me.

    It's the entire community we want to improve, not a specific one or a group.

    I'd like to contribute to the community.
    I'd like to see other developers take commits from this repository and make things better.

    The Git is at https://bitbucket.org/arter97/arter97-i9300-release

    So,
    @JustArchi , go fix your kernel's camera issue and delight the users.
    @Lord Boeffla , let's both work on improving Knock-On(or dt2w).
    @beeeto , thanks for persuading me.

    We love XDA.
    We love to share things and make things better.

    Me too. I love to apply things from other developers.
    But with proper credits.

    I'd like to see other developers take commits from this repository and make things better.
    Contribute to the entire community.

    But with proper credits.

    'Opensource' does not mean 'no-respect'.
    Leave credits to original author.

    That's all I want.

    Thanks for your support.

    Some very exciting news.

    Remember my friend who got continuous panics everyday?
    With the new development version, he gets none.

    Plus, I've managed to merge the latest, stable f2fs from Linux 4.2-rc8.

    I haven't forgot you guys, look forward for the next release :D

    After fixing minor issues(Wi-Fi on CM ROMs), this project will be abandoned.

    This kernel is my very first custom kernel project.
    After some general experiences with Android/Linux kernels, I went on making custom kernels for Galaxy S4 LTE-A, Note 3, S5, Nexus 5, Nexus 7, LG G Watch and now Galaxy S6.
    During this 1~2 years of period, I learnt what I was doing wrong and what can be better.

    A totally new, re-based, reworked kernel with a different name will be under development with ultimate goal "stability".
    A lots of features considered unnecessary and dirty will be gone.
    Undervolt, Multi-boot, aTweaks(yes, the kernel configurator app), unnecessary CPU governors, intelli-plug, Knock-On(Touchwake), Android logger control, Boost-boot, mDNIe control will be one of them.
    It's my own judgement call for reaching out more general users with no weird and funky issues.

    Every commits will be reviewed.
    Commits which I don't understand that just has a fancy name will also be not applied.
