I see. I'll have to look into that. I'm yet to test the tethering. Good post. I'll see for myself and report back.

Oh, and btw; your signature...I would go ahead and change that to JAC/ski's kernel! Lol.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Yes, indeed.

I did in fact make some changes to my user.conf

Considering this BFS patch has a seriously improved "task scheduler"...it bases CPU processing and RAM usage on the user's priorities.

Meaning, if you're on the home screen more...it'll prioritize the memory necessary to have the home screens move along quickly. More browsing...? Then it will focus on that. (etc.)

I lowered my swapiness for CC and LS down to the system default of 60.

And now, I'm overclocking at 383/383. NOT touching 528, because so far...this kernel has done nothing but improve my device performance and memory management.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Don't go nuts just yet fellas...

This message is to be directed towards Evil:

So, this evening...MLIGN and myself have been discussing a "project". A "Super Hero" ROM if you will! Now, we're looking for a "front man" to be the head of production. You could call it a, "Evil/Reignzone/MLIGN collaboration". :D

Him and I have gone over production plans, design ideas, and potential directions we could take this Hero project.

It's really late, so I might just be rambling...but does this sound like something you might wanna' get in on? :)

PM me and lemme' know.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] njordan:
thanks for your feedback.

What I still do not know. Is the SD card in any ROM an important piece for after-flashing time. So speed depends also on the SD card class for all ROMS? Or just specific ROMS that incorporate the SD-card space for normal use after flashing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
Happy with some instructions from you to test for you if you get anywhere with this,

I am no genious but have 2 magics so wouldnt be the end of the world using one as a test phone plus dont need one to be a working device ie doesnt have to be constantly useable

Any help I can be let me know
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Thank you. Pending that anything is put into production...I'll keep you guys posted on where this super project may lead. If Evil doesn't jump on-board, MLIGN and I have another developer lined up. But, Evil was our first choice because his hard work deserves more recognition. All we can ask for right now is your support. Thanks again. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
isnt it currently 5:40am where you are do you never sleep?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BigRD:
Coming from Cyanogen 4.1.11 which works a treat, I just fancied trying a Hero ROM again to gauge the improvements and see if it's usable.

re-formatted 8gb SD with 3 partitions again - 500MB EXT3, 128MB LS and the remaining FAT32

Applied 2.9.5 and setup swap as per Reignzones instructions and using Evil's user.conf and userinit

ran userinit -s - I also ran userinit without '-s' and although CC and LS look fine and are working I get an 'ro' error when it's trying to remove a file

setup accounts and signed in to Google etc

Bluex works :-) 1st Hero ROM that the receive server starts

I find that compared to others I haven't had any FC but do find it very slow and often get HTC screen. Incoming calls take 10 rings on the caller's phone before my Magic screen lights up and a further 2 before the ringtone starts. Am I missing something?

I really like this but unless I can speed it up I'll have to change back.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sutiban:
<3

Reignzone:

OMG!!!!!! My phone is sooooooooooooooooo fast now with the userint.sh/user.conf that you posted!!!!!

Now if we can just get the netfilter issue sorted it would be perfect!!!!!

Thanks again! Mad props to you and Evil and everyone else that has gotten the Hero rom working on our MyTouches :-D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] M3TR1C:
Any help with this guys??? Don't wanna be a pest...just asking questions...:o
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
All I know is that; I seriously hope that Evil drops an update today! OCT. 1st!

That would be great, because it seems that a lot of you are having issues with the user.conf settings and the lack of A2SD. I'm sure he will take the kernel I brought forth and apply it directly to his build as well.

Just keep your fingers crossed folks. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dbertoli:
Reignzone, this might be related. How did you solve the linx swap error? when i the userinit. script with cc / no backswap/ with linux swap I get an error. also, it will not set the swappiness to 80.

any thoughts?

thank you in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] makross:
Can the Jac/ski BFS-240 kernel be used with the 2.7xx remix?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
For the issue regarding the user.conf settings not remaining enabled per reboot. That isn't yet solved. The only thing you can do as of now is run the command after every reboot process.

As for the error message you receive at the end of the prompt terminal...when running the script, perform it once with the "-s" at the end, then once without it. Simple. That will enable or "rebuild" the statistics of your partitions automatically. Again, that must be redone after every start-up. If this isn't your cup of tea, I apologize. :rolleyes:

And YES, the latest BFS-kernel can be applied to the 2.7 (remix) edition of Evil's build. It's based from the MoDaCo 2.2 ROM, which I used to have with a JAC/ski kernel patched on it. I suggest wiping before applying. As in, wipe...reflash the ROM, then after the initial boot up completes...reboot into recovery mode and apply the upgraded kernel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrewDanger:
Is there any way of getting my Yahoo mail account to work? I have 2.7x and everytime I try to sync it, it doesnt work =(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] makross:
Thanks Reignzone.:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
A2SD!!!

Well, it's not a major accomplishment...but I managed to get A2SD functioning on this build.

Granted, I get a few "minor errors" that do not pertain to any system issues, but ones that suggest "no file directory exists".

I simply ported the user.conf from JAC's build...edited the settings according to my previous desires...and presto! It's a done deal. :rolleyes:

I now have A2SD, without ODEX'd files for the applications running smoothly.

Pretty friggin' sweet. Be jealous kids. :p

(kidding, kidding.) I love y'all.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tengtou:
I flashed 2.9.5x on my 32b. 32mb ls. This rom is very slow. I constantly get the HTC logo screen when switching back to home screen, then I get the loading message.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
BFS-300!

Evil, this has already been implemented into a ROM...a 32A port of Cyanogen's latest.

Look into this...I guarantee better performance out of this version. I've been reading about the improvements made.

http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/bfs/bfs-faq.txt
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jasimeii:
I'm using 2.9 noa2sd, i ran the kernel update, and tether does work :) it says "kernel is not supported" or w/e other messages but if you ignore it and try tethering, it works. the only issue is that, it really slowsss down the phone, as if it's almost frozen...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
2.8....It just works!

After a week or so of trying newer versions of this ROM, I have went back to 2.8. It just seems blazing fast with minimal configuration. I have tried 2.9, 2.9.5, 2.9.5x and personally I don't think any of them can touch 2.8. Granted, its probably due to my not configuring the ROM properly, but 2.8 is great out of the box. I pushed an edited user.conf (something I finally figured out how to do by messing around with 2.9 and above) and it's hauling some major ass (greased lightning comes to mind). I don't have compache enabled, turned on the swap partition (128MB), set swappiness to 80, and set the CPU range from 384000 - 528000.

Don't get me wrong, I know there is always room for improvement and appreciate the continued efforts to make this ROM better, but I think this ROM was ready for the 3.0 tag at version 2.8. I'm get no loading screens, the home screen moves very fluidly (even when waking up the phone), and apps pop right open after clicking an icon. These were all problems for me with newer builds. Again, based on the positive reviews of others, I am sure there are some adb commands the I didn't execute, or I failed to set up the user.conf file correctly. But for now, I am getting much better results with 2.8.

But I do recognize that I can't get complacent and be scared to try out the new stuff, so I do look forward to installing whatever eVil cooks up next and offering my feedback.

Thanks again eVil!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadowleo85:
i updated the kernel correctly and it completely ****ed my device... every 20 min my phone shuts off and restarts... and i have to pull the battery... UGH im just tryin to be patient to see if evil drops a new update...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Yeah, agreed.

After a solid 24 hours of usage...the kernel has crash my device several times. Thank God for spare MyTouch 3G's. Lol. :rolleyes:

It would randomly reboot for no reason...after about 5-10 minutes of hibernated status. It's funny, because I could heavily use the ROM and it would not crash, stutter, lag, or anything negative. It was hauling some major ass. But once the phone goes to rest for a few minutes, it would do some strange virtual memory crash reboot. It just continues to do this.

Evil, an update for some compatibility would be appreciated. No doubt. I don't want to flash another ROM. Perhaps v2.9.6? A user.conf patch? A2SD? BFS-240 implemented by default? Better yet, BFS-300! That's where the money rests. I'll see what I can do.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadowleo85:
same here as long as im using the phone it runs fine... as soon as it sleeps it crashes... imma just use my touchpro2 for the time being
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
Yeah man...its official, after trying all the ROMS, it is evident that the ROMS that include the new kernel (BFS-240) have a ton of problems, mostly that they reboot and shut off randomly.

If I try this ROM again, which I plan to do today, which version would you guys suggest I use? I want speed, no lag, and no loading screens.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BigRD:
I've rolled back to 2.8 with CC and LS, what a difference. It's super smooth and quick. The only Hero ROM I've tried that's usable. I've also updated the kernel so will monitor for crashes while sleeping.

I have noticed that Bluex works completely on 2.9.5x but on 2.8 the 'receive server' won't start.

Keep up the fantastic work eViL
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Well, the crashing is because of the kernel, not the ROM. I just don't think BFS-240 is a stable version. Even in Jac's change log he alluded to the kernel causing lockups and reboots. Obviously BFS-300 is looking really good right about now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Kernel issue.

Indeed. I flashed other ROM builds today, patched the kernel...and had the same "virtual memory crash" issue. It will randomly reboot and continue to do so every 10 minutes. Lol.

Pretty ****ing stupid.

That's called, pulling a "Google". By releasing something that isn't yet quite polished, just to met the consumer demands. :rolleyes:

BFS-300 is said to be the ultimate PATCH! I've been reading every post regarding the 32A ROM that has it currently...everyone says the speed is remarkable.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Oh, and also...

Apparently, that kernel likes to auto-mount itself? I had no idea all of these problems would arise from what started out as a REALLY, REALLY fast version of BFS. I'm sorry to those of you who flashed this after the hype only to be sadly disappointed by crashes and boot loops.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrewDanger:
So is there a way of getting this new Kernal off the phone or are we stuck with it? Can we just reload 2.7x and it will put the original kernal back on?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Wipe and re-flash.

Play it safe.

That's what I'm currently doing on all three of my devices. I had that BULL**** kernel on all of my devices. Lol.

Anyway, just do what must be done. FULL-WIPE! And if you wanted to spare yourself some setup time...go ahead and jump back to Cyanogen's stuff for a couple of days until Evil puts out this update.

:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] makross:
my phone has been running fine with the 240 kernel but im going to wipe and reinstall the rom without it just in case...cant afford another mt3g like you reign:p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Yeah, well keep in mind...chances are you were headed for disaster. Lol. I had the kernel for quite a few hours before we released it as a port.

My phone was damn near perfection in terms of speed. However, sure enough...it was too good to be true. I believe exactly 23 hours into having the kernel running on my device is when the first instance of "random reboots" occurred. They would just continue regardless of altering settings. It's the kernel man, plain and simple. Lol.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
As I mentioned in post 1124, I personally think version2.8 is where its at. But to be fair I haven't tried 2.9.5x without the kernel patch.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrewDanger:
So wiping and reloading 2.7x will get rid of the crazy kernal?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadowleo85:
this sucks i was almost done beating farm frenzy... and totemo... now i have to start completely over thx to this kernal lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
Im actually coming from two failed attempts at Hero ROMs in the last 48 hours, First was the UniROM, then the JACHeroski ROM.

In both cases the ROMs boot properly, then are blistering fast (JAC moreso) for about half a day. After that they start dropping notifications, running really unstable, and crash constantly locking hardware and requiring a reset.

I was begining to think my phone was faulty, Is all this really from the 240? I think I might have to give EVIL Hero a try with the 2.8 people mention

before this I was running Cyanogen from 4.0.4 to 4.1.11.1 with only minor hiccups here and there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BigRD:
I had the kernel crash too so am now back to running the original 2.8. I find this very fast indeed.

The biggie for me is getting the full Bluex bluetooth send & receive working.

Nice work eViL and thanks to reign for helping out in this thread :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gaprince:
is there reason why i cant send or recieve pic messaging
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Not sure bud, I don't know if I'll have enough time to put in as I have been. I will ponder it and let you know.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Thanks, I'll take a look.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Thanks Evil. The consideration is appreciated.

Anyway, I hope we can expect to see v3.0 before you no longer have the time to bless us with your builds. I will say though...I certainly wouldn't mind picking up your work...eventually.

:D

Btw, BFS-300 = no more random reboots...more consistent home screen responsiveness. I've spoken to several testers for those 32A ROM builds that offer the kernel already.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
God that gives me the jitters. we gotta get our hands on it damnnn
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sutiban:
Why must you taunt us so???????
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Ha-ha. I didn't mean to hint at anything too serious...but I just simply couldn't resist. Everything I've heard about this kernel is a 200% turn-around from where the 240 version left off.

The improvements are slight, subtle, yet very significant because of their placement. Obviously jumping from 240 to 300 is relatively large...so guess what? The 300 kernel is going to SHUT DOWN THE WORLD! Lol.

If it's implemented correctly within a ROM to function with the system and it's files...we can expect as Buzz Lightyear would say...to infinite and beyond! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
You and I both.

I've only heard that people are having camera issues similar to the one from Cyanogen's 4.1.10.1 build. (his older stuff) :p

Other than that, everyone says it's solid-state.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
Haha i dont really care about the camera/camcorder -- not good anyways
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Here's the update on bfs fellas!

Here's my TwitFeed:

Posted by cyrowski: @cyanogen - you beat me again, just finished BFS-300 and you already have it! When are you going to release again?

Posted by me: @cyrowski: Glad to see something is happening with this. I'm sick of those 32A boys running the show right now! Lol.

Posted by cyrowski: @Site_Unscene how are the 32A boys running the show?

Posted by me: @cyrowski: Bro, they are patching the BFS-300 implement on virtually every build in the Sapphire development section. Lol.

So, it would seem that CC and Cyanogen are both done compiling the BFS-300 patch for their kernel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Nice.

I wouldn't mind the kernel and wlan from MLIGN's build ported either. Drizzy's kernel seems pretty fast to me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Just spoke with CC again, got yet another update.

He says: @Site_Unscene yes sir, BFS-300 has been ready, ironing out 10MB hack for mytouch!

OMG!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sutiban:
!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
RAM hack issues!

Directly from one of the headmasters:

@cyanogen: it has some esoteric issues. I don't think it helps one way or the other, especially with compcache + swap_free_notify

from Cyanogen: @Site_unscene: I haven't really looked at it's implications. So much is undocumented on these devices and I'm wary of it.

Just stick with the NORMAL BFS kernel. Not the RAM hacked versions.

EDIT: This is posted by me - @cyrowski: Oh, sweet. But still, I am yet to believe in this hack. I didn't notice any significant improvement in performance.

Posted by cyrowski: @Site_Unscene i agree with you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
If you're referring to the 106-108 ram hack, yeah, I don't see that as worth anything. If your using this, you probably need a swap of some sort anyway. And, taking away the graphics ram is not good.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] trillside:
So guys how do o go about gettin this ticking time bomb of a kernel off my phone before the worse happens?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Well, I guess you could nandroid backup, then fastboot and flash the boot.img from the build you are using and then push the wlan.ko back.

I haven't tried, but I don't see why this wouldn't work.

**btw, you would flash back the system and data too
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] trillside:
lol uhhhhh yea you just made my brain melt... :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Guess what I've got...?

BFS-300 kernel!

I'm testing it as we speak. Big ups to JAC, cc, ManUp, and miketaylor!

This is gonna' be epic!

Be patient folks...be patient! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] trillside:
lol ok man ive learned patience is a virtue arounnd here.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ccyrowski:
Hahahah, nice, I didn't know me and JAC's kernels were so popular!?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
OH yes, VERY popular. ;D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] trillside:
more than popular EPIC!!! :):):)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Hey Evil, alright...been running this for about 20 minutes now! Very, very, very smooth transitions on the home screens. More responsive to touch. Minimal latency IF ANY AT ALL.

300 really cleaned up. JAC/ski did ****ing work this time around.

Would you like the link to test for yourself man? :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] trillside:
i would lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ccyrowski:
Thanks! Trying to keep our phones running SMOOOOTHHHH
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bobdude5:
ur a genious dude..that signature thing is brilliant ahah everything was true
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nnesto21:
Thanks cc. The bfs 300 is smooth and fast running the Hero3g Rom from Eugene
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Yes, please.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Check your inbox. Once you read that message, you'll understand EXACTLY WHY I didn't post it publicly as I did with the BFS-240 version. Lol.

I sent it a few minutes ago. :rolleyes: Doh?

But for the record, you're going to ****ing love the consistency of "300". It's be absolutely exquisite thus far.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ccyrowski:
Why didn't you post it publicly? Just wondering :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Previous incident.

MLIGN and myself packaged it literally upon release of your build earlier yesterday...and immediately after signing, we had a few people come in to this thread and try to claim the "work" as their own. Not posted within the thread, but "taking" the kernel and distributing it to others as if they could credit the work. Lol. :rolleyes:

Same 'ol, same 'ol.

Otherwise, I left that up for Evil to decide at the moment. I don't want there to be a ****ing frenzy in this thread...not yet anyway! ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
2.9.6 is up. Thanks ccyrowski & Reignzone!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sutiban:
flashing it now. will report back soon on my findings
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WMO_Magic:
Applied the BFS300.zip and it's working like a charm. Great work guys!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sutiban:
installed 2.9.6 and it appears to be working very well after pushing Reignzone's configs. now if we could have those run at startup things would be amazing!!!

and yes tethering does work, it complains about not having netfilter when you start it up, but if you tell it to immediately start tethering it works fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] supa2001:
Great app.

Is there any way to save the game saving data?

Do you guys use backup for root or just manually setting the phone over ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Loccy:
Sorry to be dim - am planning on giving this ROM a go later on - which configs are you talking about?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mt3g:

sd card error

i am gettting an sd card error everytime the rom boots -

it is telling me that i have removed the sd card - any ideas
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MrDva:
Bluetooth would pair but wouldn't actually work.

I could send SMS but wasn't receiving them correctly.

I bailed after that, it's definitely faster than the other Hero ROM I tested.

Nice ROM, I'll check it out again in a revision or few.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Something is wrong with your memory card. Delete all your partitions and recreate them again and flash.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hitman4485:
well i tried to update it thinking it wouldnt notify me cause it wasnt a G1 but it would tell me it was an invalid update or it wasnt signed. so i just took the apk from the rom and just reinstalled it and now i cant change my notification settings because it just crashes after doing so...think a reflash may fix?
