[KERNEL] [EOL] [OnePlus3T] [OOS 5, 4, 3] Boeffla-Kernel (16-01-2019)

[andip71]

It works !! I did not test everything yet, but phone is recognized, and music is working.
I will test later when I have more time with navigation, phone and AA Mirror.

Thanks for your dedication and "customer" support, you're great !

Ok, but this means: more work [emoji3]

I did 3 changes, we need the one causing it.

So if you allow, I would provide 3 more test kernel for you, in each is only one of the 3 changes reverted. Then we will find the culprit.

Ready to go that way with me?

Thanks
Andi

Let's go ! :highfive:

Great! Here we go - download the three test kernels from here:

I am veeeeeeeery curious to see which one does not work out of the three.

Thanks

Try1 : fail
Try2 : OK
Try3: fail

So now, what are the features making Android Auto fail ? And would it be annoying for users to remove them ?

It is the USB keyboard thing (where you can connect your phone to a PC via USB and use the phone as keyboard for it), which causes the conflict.

I am not sure how many people really use that, but I always said: If something breaks stock functionality, I will not do it.

Was not aware, Android Auto has an issue with this USB keyboard extension, so I will remove it in next update.

Noooo!

That's sad
I really love this feature for auto typing passwords on different computers

I understand it is useful for you.

But when it has proved side effects on standard functionality, I cannot keep that in, sorry.
As I also cannot make it switchable, there is no other way.

Thermal throttling

Hey Andi

Long time Boeffla user since the S3. Rocking it on my 3T as well. I was wondering if there's thermal control embedded inside your kernel because I've been playing games like PUBG and Real Racing and initially the game seems to work fine on stock clocks but then after a few mins it starts lagging for some reason. The device is slightly warm but not a whole lot so I think the throttle engages way too early or is it my device? I don't know. Some assistance in this regard would be appreciated!

Hi,

the honest answer is: I never had any need to play with thermal engine settings on the OP3 or OP3T (neither on 5 and 5T btw), as I am personally not playing games.

From all what I read so far, there is not a lot you can do apart from removing the thermal-engine binary (which is in /system/vendor/bin) completely, so it does not get loaded. Would I do that? Definitely not. And I have no idea whether you can tweak the configuration yourself by putting some data into /system/vendor/etc/thermal-engine.conf, this was possible on the OP2, but no idea on the OP3.

Maybe a good post/thread for you:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76693990&postcount=20

I have no plans to incorporate any changes on kernel level for this, as it is not controlled by the kernel but a binary which is closed source.

Hello dear Lord, just migrated to stock oos 5.0.3 from la14.1. Maybe I was scared by your eol thoughts
Anyway, I'm happy with stock version, happy with your kernel, especially with battery extreme governor profile. A little bit choppy, but nice battery output.
Question: does your kernel messes with background apps quantity, or does it uses stock values? Should I use f.e. 60? What are thoughts regarding ram filling?
Regards, happy user.

You should look at the settings you can see in my screenshot. There you can make settings which determine the behaviour you're interested in. I activated this only to make the stock values - which are activated - better readable. FYI: LMK is the abbreviation for Low Memory Killer. That should help with further own searches.

Default settings in my kernel are stock LMK settings.
But you can play with it and try to improve for your usage scenario in Misc 1 screen of Boeffla-Config.

Danke for the answers,I'm as light user,was expected kernel adiutor interface,with options to choose, like aggressive,light,very light,etc.
Another part of my question was quantity of background apps. By default it's 32, at Franko kernel it's raised till 60. Same did and I, expecting more apps by the hand.

Let us know how it works for you with the increased value.

Gutten morgen. There are issues with apps killing I don't like, like sudden clearing up, nor normal app clearing is opted in, but I'm more happy, that about 50 apps now's sits still in memory without putting the lock at recents.
The best part I'm happiest about - inbuilt wakelocks blocker. BBS (better battery stats) is now showing results I do like.

Guys,short question from other opera. Is there a way to make flashlight turn off automatically or in certain time span, like on lineage? Really miss this feature, which stock is missing. Yesterday night I have left torch turned on, so whole night led was enlighten


Edit:
Updating after some time of testing.
Changed lkm values to really ridiculous values, multitasking is really better, no reloads at all. All 6GB nearly are filled. As I'm not a gamer, I'm happy with result.
https://ibb.co/hFah4o

Some other app tweaks. Big cluster left at extreme battery, little at interactive-battery. Max cpu frequency reduced to 1.4GHz. Hotplug at big core reduced 1.
Boost reduced to 844MHz.
Not snappiest device in the world, but usable as a daily driver for sure. Would like to reach 7-8hrs of sot, will see if its possible. What can be done to squeeze more for battery sake, having still a fast device? Not gaming for sure.
Regards.

Hi, if I compile your kernel myself, how can I enable 3rd party apps overwrite?

What do you mean by 3rd party apps overwrite exactly? Do you have an example?

I compiled your kernel by myself to enable ttl module. However, I can't change the CPU frequency because it will revert back to 1.4ghz. I found out that in your config app, there are some setting that restrict 3rd party apps to overwrite min/max freq overwrite , so how can I disable this restrictions?

You do not need to disable that on kernel side, default is to allow overwrites.

However, if you have Boeffla-Config app installed, it triggers the lock down. To allow overwrites while Boeffla-Config is installed, just go into app settings and in the Allow-Overwrites section there, tick what you want to allow overwriting.

Without app, there should not be any lock (but of course not recommended to not use BC app).

If you want to revert it from kernel, you need to revert the commit which is called something like "hard limit frequencies" etc. It might require some fiddling as I think there are follow-up commits leading to some merge conflicts naturally. But it is doable of course.

ouh nice, but can you make bc app functional on another kernel? i really love your apps!
