Could I suggest including a description of which kernel is currently included in the port update file? Might reduce confusion in future when there are newer kernels. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jbirdLt:
So no need to update the Radio either with this method?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
i can see where the confusion comes in. instead of including the download link in step 3, since it links to a version with an old kernel, how about re-writing it to say something like "download the latest port update below which includes current kernel." then below, you can have ya differnet links to port updates with kernel descriptions.

Cyanogen Kernel 4.1.6 + wlan.ko:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mdqd2idhjxb

Latest git + tigertael's patches + #android-root :P

Enjoy EXPERIMENTAL release. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anzorb:
Any help would be appreciated..

First off, congrats on a great port, this is one of those odd times i find that what worked for everyone else did not work for me.

I was blessed with a Rogers 32A, rooted it and have been running the Hofo ION for a while.

Really wanted to try out the experimental w/ MT rom from cyanogen, but for the first time it is stuck on the android screen, left it for about 10 minutes and still nothing. I made sure to wipe and reflashed, but same effect. I even tried the stable but same effect.

Don't think the radio is the issue, at least every other ROM flashes w/o any problems.

Has this happened to anyone?

Does it make a difference if I am flashing from a ION or Hero ROM?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
anzorb,

I've flashed from HOFO original to Ion to Hero and now to this rom with no problems. Did you apply the port file after flashing the rom? Have you tried re-downloading the rom files and reflashing again? It might be a bad download.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anzorb:
thanks, xiutian

So this time this is the order i did it in:

1.wipe

2.apply update.zip(CM experimental)

3.adb shell mv signed-port update.zip,

4.apply update.zip port

5.adb shell mv enochx update.zip,

6.apply update.zip theme,

7.reboot

Stuck at Rogers screen..

Is this the right order? do i need to reboot after each update or maybe wipe?

Thanks in advance...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kingborel:
Does it work if you don't flash the theme?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
Are you going for the 4.1.5 or the 4.1.6? Don't think the theme works for 4.1.6
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
yeah, most time if u flash an incompatbile theme, u get that stuck on blank or rogers screen. try wiping, then flash again without a theme. it should boot up. and never wipe after you flash. u only wipe before.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anzorb:
thanks for the help, did get it to boot without the theme, now Iam not sure whether i have 4.1.5 or 4.1.6 since i used the 4.1.2.1 experimental and the port update.zip which is mentioned here:

1. Download the most recent Cyanogen ROM (either experimental or stable)

2. Push it to your SD card

3. Download this file in update.zip form.

4. Push it to your SD card

5. Reboot into recovery

6. Apply Cyanogen ROM

7. Apply my update.zip

8. Reboot and enjoy

I would really like to install the theme. any suggestions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
the theme only works for 4.0.4 or 4.1.5: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=548918

you said you downloaded 4.1.2.1 experimental, that you means you have cm 4.1.2.1. this was ported along time ago, it is not 4.1.5 nor 4.1.6. the port update is used for newer versions. so you suppose to go download 4.1.5 from cyan's original thread. update it. then update with the 4.1.5 kernel port posted in the first post.

to find out which version you have, go into settings > about > then scroll down until you see which mod you have.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
I have the zip for the theme meant for 4.1.2, let me know where you want me to email it to ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anzorb:
alright,

So with my "experience" in flashing, i decided to install the base kernel for 4.1.5, thinking I can then install the theme, but no luck, again stuck at the rogers boot.

If you can email me the theme at anzorb@gmail.com that would be great.. Thanks in advance.

ps: god bless nandroid..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] L10nH34Rt:
You guys should wait for TigerTael's newest kernel for 4.1.6 with BFS support ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
I actually resisted updating to the new version of the theme until last night. Then thought: What the heck! No harm enjoying a new theme while I wait :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Radix999:
Okey.. repackaged ruqqq's cyanogen 4.1.6+BFS enabled kernel and wlan.ko into an signed update.zip file for you all.

You can download it from:

http://fdsfiles.com/temp/update-416-32a-kernel.zip

Install cyanogen's 4.1.6, then install this update - works for me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
How is the 4.1.6 running? Zooming?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Radix999:
yup.. I did a full wipe, installed update, then kernel patch and worked a treat - wifi, etc.. and kernel was definitely updated.

I'm restoring my nandroid now and trying to apply 4.1.6 and the kernel as an update to see if I can avoid doing a full wipe now ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
keep us posted. will this work if apply kernel over stable cm404? will it offer any improvements to even apply it to cm 404? im currently on 404 using the 4.1.5 base kernel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Radix999:
Reinstalled it as an upgrade (from 4.1.2) and that went through well. Takes a while but adb lolcat and you can see what it's doing ;)

Seems nice and snappy so far now that it's booted up and lolcat has quietened down a bit.. I've got about 75-80 apps installed and all wanted to do stuff as soon as the phone started up, so was a little hard to tell straight away. :)

As for 4.0.4 - cyanogen said he had to remove some cgroups stuff and plug some extra calls into the framework for BFS I thought.. so you may find it relies on some of the other changes he's made in the experimental branch as well as just the kernel.

That said.. give it a try.. it won't hurt.. it just might not offer the same advantages ;)

Enjoy!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jokeyrhyme:
Thanks so much for doing this. 32A has more physical RAM, but that doesn't mean anything to the impatient among us when we have to wait so long after a 32B release for a port. :P

I'm not noticing much of an improvement over CM 4.1.6 + 4.1.5 kernel, to be honest. I think most of the userspace changes regarding simpler thread priorities made most of the difference. Still, nice to be running the matching kernel. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
Great, thanks for the update. Been waiting for a snappy upgrade for the 4.1.2, looks like I can do the upgrade tonight.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] L10nH34Rt:
It works as intended, but I miss bcrook's AudioPara4.csv... Will wait for his update patch and apply it on top!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anzorb:
I am loving this. So snappy, that the letters apear before touching the keys. Thanks

now I wait for a nice dark theme.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] L10nH34Rt:
Why not install EnochX? It should work since there are little differences between 4.1.5-6

Cyanogen hasn't even posted an updated theme template so it should be ok...

Installing it now btw :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anzorb:
Let me know if the theme works pls.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GyD:
The trackball don't glow correctly.

After a missed call, the trackball don't glow.

When receiving SMS the tracball glow once but stop.

The trackball light is for me a must have ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
to fix the flashing light issue try pushing the file i have zipped up here over to your phone-

into /system/lib/hw

adb push /system/lib/hw/lights.msm7k.so

this fix helped in the past.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] str4vag:
does it work without wiping?

and do i need to do anything for bfs to work?

i dont run any swap/ext3/compcache on my SD card. will there be any difference?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Radix999:
yeah, upgrade without wipe worked sweet from me.. went from 4.1.2.1 -> 4.1.6
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] str4vag:
nice..i am already on 4.1.6. so it should work sweet as well.

no need to do anything to my SD card right?

flashing the update as we speak.

Edit : Damn, boot up was extremely fast. all widgets loaded in an instant too.

i am loving this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
what benchmarks is everyone getting with this?

i did a clean install- wiped, applied radix's boot image update and got bugger all- did it twice and cpu was around 105-110 each time.... the graphics score was not good as well... maybe it didnt flash properly?

With Amon_RA's ion rom i am getting over 180 for CPU on a non-fresh flash.

is there a reason my results arent real good? Do thes results mean bugger all? maybe benchmark app wont work properly on donut stuff?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
I have updated the first post. The new package is up. Thanks to everyone who came out with their own versions while I was lazy and slept. It seems our timezones dont line up perfectly! Go EST!

I will continue to work on making the first post clearer for anyone - if you have suggestions dont hesitate to let me know.

The BFS enabled kernel is the 4.1.6 one :) Thanks arctu, TigerTael, Radix999, MontAlbert, sorry if i forgot anyone!

I included the lights file in the newest port package - let me know if that helps those with issues.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] slashbeast:
Can I upgrade kernel to BrainFuckSched-enabled kernel without installing new rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
You can try...I am not sure how it is implemented. I believe it is entirely a kernel patch, so you should be able to use my port package for 4.1.6 and use it on a prior release.

I will probably go this way as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] slashbeast:
Yeah, I can and it work, this is awesome with 4.1.2.1 rom with 4.1.6 kernel.

@bcrook, can you talk with TT or Cyanogen about test BFQ? http://feanor.sssup.it/~fabio/linux/bfq/

If new CM droped CFS to BFS, maybe they drop CFQ to BFQ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxqc:
bcrook ... can you make an easy update.zip for this ??

I'm using 4.0.4 ...

Thank you SOO MUCH :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] slashbeast:
Dude, just download 'base kernel' and apply it, thats what I did. (Remember to backup first).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
That is the beauty of the new porting process. Just apply the update.zip with the kernel you wish to run and you are done. But yes, make a backup :)

The only time something will be messed up is if the cyanogen ramdisk is radically different between ROMs.

You can ask cyanogen about it...he doesnt listen to me anymore than anyone else lol. send him a tweet or something.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] edubarr:
Updated APN

bcrook, there was a typo in your apns-conf.xml which always skipped the rogers apn configurations. I've fixed the typo, repackaged and signed it.

All you need to do in order to restore your APN configuration after a wipe is to go to the APN screen, click on menu and select 'Reset to default'. It will then load the rogers APN settings automatically.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Thanks a lot. I will add this into upcoming port packages.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxqc:
Sorry guys, I haven't seen the link on 1st page for 4.1.6 ...

I think everything went OK... The Kernel Verion shows 2.6.29.6-cm4 tt@UbuStar

Dont really know about perfs since I just rebooted the phone...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
OK, just installed 4.1.6 kernel on 4.04. All looks okay and it is speedy. AT&T APNs are fine. Quick question. Once 4.1.6 rom becomes a stable version, what are the advantages of it going to be over 4.0.4? What is Donut going to give us really?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hakeem9:
Running new 4.1.6 with the new kernel from the first post...everything appears to be great, running at a very high speed. Not exactly sure what's new in Donut, but definitely can't complain so far.

Thanks for everyones speedy work on this :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Global search :) Some other assorted stuff...it is a minor upgrade (1.5-->1.6) versus 1.0 --> 1.5 for cupcake. Eclair is supposed to be a biggy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ranger79:
Didn't manage to upgrade to CM 4.1.6. Just keep looping at the HTC Magic screen.

Tried the following methods:

A) Follow bcrook's steps

1. Download the most recent Cyanogen ROM (tried 4.1.6, 4.0.4 and 32A 4.0.4)

2. Push it to your SD card

3. Download this file in update.zip form.

4. Push it to your SD card

5. Reboot into recovery

5a. Wipe

6. Apply Cyanogen ROM

7. Apply my update.zip

8. Reboot and enjoy

B) Restore my nandroid CM 4.0.4 backup

1. Apply bcrook's patch

C) Restore my nandroid CM 4.0.4 backup

1. Apply Radix's patch

D) Re-download all the zip files and retry

E) Change to a brand new SD card with only the zip files on it

How can I troubleshoot to find out what went wrong?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
I hate to ask but are you sure you are running a 32A phone?

Download Cyan 4.04 or 4.1.6

Download the 32A port patch http://briancrook.ca/magic/signed-cyan-32a-port_v4.1.6.zip

reboot into recovery, wipe

apply cyan

apply my patch

reboot

That should work fine. Confirm the 32A and we'll go from there.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DionBurger:
Loaded the 4.1.6 kernel onto 4.0.4 with enoch 1.3 - very fast & very stable!!!! I'm impressed!!!! It's now like what speed one would expect from a commercial release. I cant wait for the stable cm 4.2 release - should be one of those great releases.

Problems i've spotted so far :

1) It seems the digital compass is not working well anymore

2) Camcorder gives forced close when stopping the recording

Good work guys!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:

PS: Maybe its dat BFS playing with our brains... hehe
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ranger79:
Yes I am. It's been running your CM 4.0.4.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] routermonkey:
The new kernel is definitely an improvement over trying to run 4.1.5 the other day; it's actually responsive and fast enough to be usable. Good work on porting it over.

I am getting a lot of errors with programs that run in the background.

One example is Twidroid - I'll get dialog messages that say:

Sorry!
Application Twidroid (in process com.twidroid:remote) is not responding.

and Force Close or Wait options.

If I choose Wait, everything seems to come back and keep running, but I've never had problems like this before.

I've seen similar messages for Google Maps and Astrid. All of them are configured to do notifications (Twidroid), syncing (Astrid) etc. in the background.

Anyone else having problems with this? I upgraded from 4.0.4 without wiping.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
just loaded the kernel on my 404 also and it works fine minus those known issues. will keep runnin it until i find any major problems, hopefully not. i did not wipe either.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
I think I ran in that once - no big deal though. I assume that because its experimental those little issues arent a big deal. I didnt wipe either...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ranger79:
While i cant update to 4.1.6, i'm able to do it for 4.1.5 though.

Tried to update from 4.1.5 to 4.1.6 still fails however.

Does the BFS kernel affect battery life in some way?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] str4vag:
Running 4.1.6 with the BFS enabled kernal. i haven't have any issues yet. works nicely.

battery life is still the same as before.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
I am having an issue with notification tones. For some reason ever since I applied 4.1.6 kernel to 4.0.4 rom, I am not getting notification tones on Gmail and Touchdown/Exchange. Not sure why. I have tried going in and shutting them off and back on again. Not sure what to do. Just very annoying as I depend on those pesky sounds.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
Well, I flashed back to 4.1.5 and notifications are back. I am going to try flashing to 4.1.6 one more time to see if it works properly. No one else having notification issues with 4.1.6?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] L10nH34Rt:
No. They work perfectly on mine...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
One last question on this to Brian.

Would it hurt to try and flash 4.1.6 and then re-flash your notification/ringtone.zip if I already have it on the phone? I am thinking if I re-apply it over 4.1.6 I may get everything back to normal.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
It shouldnt help nor cause problems...give it a try.

The other optiob for ringtones is to put them in a /media/audio/... folder structure on your sdcard
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jvincent66:
Has anyone else noticed slow wifi performance?

I just put 4.0.4 with the 4.1.6 kernel update and my wifi download speed is limited to 450 kbps but with 3G I get 2.5Mbps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jokeyrhyme:
I went from 4.1.5 to 4.1.6+4.1.5kernel then to full 4.1.6 with no wipes and I'm not having any application, widget or force-close issues whatsoever.

However, I'm running this on a 32A Sapphire/Magic/G2/MyTouch and I've noticed a significant decrease in battery life. I don't have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth enabled, yet I went to bed with 95% battery and woke up with 25%. I immediately looked at Battery Use, and there were only 4 items: Cell standby 48%, Phone idle 48%, Display 2%, Android System 2%.

Since BFS makes good use of system resources in order to remain responsive, is it possible we can down-clock the CPU speed for most of the time? With a better scheduler I feel there are probably fewer times we need full power.

Also, I have to ask, are there any special considerations that need to be made for out-going voice quality/volume on the 32A? Several friends are telling me that they can barely hear me. Should the 32A kernel update also include 32A-specific audio settings?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
anyone been able to install better keyboard with this- told me it couldn't be installed.- rebooted and tried again- no worries this time.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
Flashed back and forth 3 times. No notifications for me on 4.1.6. Nothing else is an issue but I am sticking with 4.1.5 for now. Something must be screwed up on my end but I'm not wiping for 4.1.6. Battery life seemed a bit worse but I was on the heavy side of usage going back and forth, so it may have been a placebo.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] edubarr:
I backed up my 4.0.4 w/ 4.1.5 kernel and flashed the full 4.1.6 (with a wipe). It very good but a bit on the unstable side, and even crashed and rebooted by itself. To tell you the truth I didn't notice that much of a speed increase (maybe I had my hopes way too high). And one issue called my attention, I didn't receive any mms while on wifi, only on 3g. I don't know if this was just a glitch, but add the crashing and I ended up restoring my backup.

Don't get me wrong, 4.1.6 is a huge step forward from 4.1.5 in all aspects. It's just that I do need a stable phone for my day-to-day activities. I'll definitely update to 4.2 when it comes out.

bcrook's update for 32A includes a file that fixes the call audio parameters, so if you're using some other port make sure to copy the files over. The file is called "AudioPara4.csv" and it's in the /system/etc/ directory.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
i am returning to the 4.1.5 kernel on 404 rom. the 4.1.6 kernel caused some freezes when browsing and something affecting my calendar getting forceclose on it randomly, and also something is up with calendar storage erasing my events, but after several resyncing, it comes back. strange behavior.

::::EDIT:::::

the calendar problems seemed to have been caused by a recent calendar app i installed. after not using it anymore (it was a widget) my calendar issues went away. not sure if it is related to the kernel or not. maybe it was a combination of app + kernel, or just app, i dont know. but in the meantime, i am not using the widget anymore (it is still in beta) and revert to 4.1.5.
