Do we have to wipe the cache partition and Dalvik cache when upgrading from 0.9.7.6 to 0.9.7.7?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] SoltyPK:
I'm not overclocked in anyway and SetCPU is frozen.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
Where is .9.7.7??
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
In the post I quoted. ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] el-jodio:
Hey Faux, is there a SV version of this? I'm guessing there's an update coming?? Keep up the great work.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:

Announcement:

Version 0.9.8 is OUT!!! :D (almost 1.0.0)

BFS is BAAACK!!! Read 2nd post for complete details...

I want to test BFS just before the final version 1.0.0 is out :cool:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Just to be clear, CFS is a more "conservative" scheduler and would be the choice for those more concerned with stability than absolute performance, correct?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Sorta correct, CFS is designed to be used in WIDE range of applications from Desktop all the way to servers, so it is designed to accommodate various situations, but it comes with a price... Because the way its designed, it's not really good at anything (generalist vs specialist argument).

BFS was designed from ground up specifically for desktop usage (more interactive, lower latency). Since 100% of Linux distro come with CFS standard, it is the MOST compatible scheduler. BFS is relatively new (been around for a couple of years), so compatibility wise may not be as good as CFS, but it's hella FAST :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Thanks for the info. :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] valve timing:
Just flashed to bfs enthusiast kernel very fast love all you do for or device thanks faux
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
Really like 9.8. Great job Faux :)

I haven't used interactive in a while..but its nice with this one
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kenrippy:
So just to get this right, #'s 124 ~ 125 are the BFS enthusiast kernels?

[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
is op not clear? How much more must I state. The answer is yes.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
It's people like you who don't read a clearly stated OP that cause devs to get annoyed and stop developing. Take time to read before you ask questions or go to a different forum!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] CB620:
im going to load this up with royal glacier and see how it does.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
So far so good with 0.9.8 BFS LV. Not enough time to really tell anything but everything works so far. I'm on wifi right now and it feels snappy-fast! After the initial boot, then fixing permissions in ROM Manager, the reboot was crazy fast... I was a bit surprised my phone was already on, haha. Thanks Faux!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
Before with orange sense in the app drawer scrolling to the bottom, getting to the end, it would lag a bit. But with this kernel, enthusiasts SV, it no longer does it. :)

Thanks, Faux.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kenrippy:
Easy there, looking at the op from my xda mobile app doesn't show the title right above the bfs links. Look at the difference between the web version & xda app.

MT4G - Iced Glacier - Faux's speedy kernel
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Elloco305:
+1 I didn't know what the difference until I read Faux's response.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] blitz911:
For me it did show 'cfs-smartass' above the cfs kernels and the bfs ones are clearly labeled 'bfs' and I'm using the non-premium xda app...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
Really....?? Cause the channel log clearly states that 0.9.8 has the bfs which is what was asked in the question. It isn't going to matter if your using the app (like I am) or using the web
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dubie76:
I loaded this CFS stock voltage version. Seems ok. Dont see a difference yet, but it only has been running for a hour or so. I am new to this kernel and look forward to seeing how it differs from the stock kernel that came on my mytouch 4g.

Thanks for the hard work.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bighulk666:
Will your kernel be compatable with ClockWorkMod 3.0.2.4? Just received an update today.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] woldy2:
it is flashable with 3.0.2.4
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wickedny15:
Using v9.8 SV BFS Kernel and it is smoking Fast!! Also using Faux's Orange Sense ROM on EXT4!!

SetCPU on interactive Max 1843, we'll see tomorrow how battery goes..

Quadrant seems happy!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] NeverAlwaysEver:
Just installed 0.9.8 bfs Lv. Fast fast fast :) After initial reboot, fixed permissions in Rom Manager, rebooted again and it loaded in just around 1 1/2 mins. Thank you Faux
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
CFS seems to work best for me on stock rom.

I tried BFS-LV version first...ran it for a while and kept getting monster lag here and there. Of course I did all the tricks and lag randomly still appeared.

Went to 9.8-CFS-LV and its been flying super smooth and fast.

1555

Smartass
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I'm using the 0.9.8 CFS-SV kernel and it seems to be the fastest yet. Even with my max only being set to 1.0 GHz (smartass), the phone absolutely flies. :cool:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] oniddy:
my battery is going quick with bfs kernel

I love the new bfs kernel super fast but its running my battery down quickkkkkkkkkk! specially when I turn my phone screen off and I turn it on again!, any idea? thanks in advance
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tvotony:
I did the first time kernel v2 and how do I do the update to the kernel I want? Do I take the same steps I did for the first one?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tvotony:
Do I flash on top of each other
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
Yes
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tvotony:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] kyokyle:
<3 faux for all your hard work. Our phone is so godly now. If you ever move on to a new phone. Id get that one.

Rom: orange sense v1.01

Kernel: Faux .98 LV

Governor: Smartass

Recovery: CWM 3.0.0.6
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
Try changing the governor. It's default set to interactive (I think, I just remembered it's not smartass) cuz it's supposed to be quicker in general. I changed mine to smartass, no profiles, LV and it's running great and no significant battery drain yet.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] NeverAlwaysEver:
I'm using BFS LV, cpu setting 1.2ghz min / 1.5ghz max (interactive), screen off 245mhz min/ 768 mhz max (smartass). been unplugged for 4 hrs, display on playing around with Poweramp music player interface and other stuff for like an hour, music playing straight for over an hour with earphone, some text messaging and now battery is still at 85%, which is great. I do take care of my battery also like I fully discharge often and then charge. So maybe you can try that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] CB620:
Ill try cfs bfs is draining my battery
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
I know this doesn't seem that impressive, but with 0.9.8 BFS LV on smartass underclocked to 1017 max 245 min I got 1976 on quadrant (I somehow changed the file format of my screen shots so I can't upload a pic from my phone)

Now I just wonder if I'm running BFS like this if I should just be on CFS....but these settings worked amazing with Pewpew 2 and I haven't seen any lag whatsoever.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] marcos.lennis:
What is the difference between CFS and BFS? I am using CFS SV, and I am wondering how is it different from BFS.

Thank you in advance.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
All the info you seek are on the 1st and 2nd post of this thread
[myTouch 4G Android Development] KingDavid63:
I'm sorry but what does CFS and BFS stand for?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
BFS stands for Brain F*** Scheduler and CFS stands for Completely Fair Scheduler.

Faux also provides some detail in this post.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
I guess I need to read more to see which one I should be using for me specifically. The questions on what they are and stand for are funny, though.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
Just from my experience..I've tried both.

Stock ROM

BFS - gave random lag..tried both interactive and smartass

CFS - has given me the best overall results with stability and still very fast.

I do have lots of widgets - and use ADW EX with additional custom transitions.

Your results will vary :)

From what I've seen..the people on custom round have had great results with BFS
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kenrippy:
Yeah, I'm on iced glacier and had no problems so far with bfs.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
LoL, nah! I was running eViL's 0.3.3 ROM with the Faux 0.9.8 BFS SV kernal @ max OC. Interactive Gov. Might have gotten a faster score with performance...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dominicanman912:
Off topic but where can I get that status bar! I'm on orange sense.

Sent from my Ice Cold HTC Glacier/MyTorch4G running Orange Sense by Faux!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
Smartass has a "built-in" profile for Screen on/off and my defauts @ 1.1GHz. So if you are satisfied with performance @ 1.1GHz, then you don't need to use SetCPU @ all. If you wish to go higher frequency for testing or you have a need for speed (of course @ the cost of battery life), then use SetCPU to make this kernel do whatever you want with it.

You should try dumfuq's CM6/7 kernels with smartass. It was his work that inspired me to create one for the Sense Series.

Have you tried the High Voltage version? Which kernel were you using before loading mine?

Oh, I just remembered, FOR THOSE OF YOU used any kernel that is EXT4 based Kernels (ie, CM7, EviD's MIUI kernels etc), you need to flash back the old clockworkmod recovery to version 2.5.1.2 before installing my kernel. My kernel DOES NOT support EXT4 file system, so if you come from those kernels, you must first restored to Clockworkmod version 2.5.1.2 then you MUST WIPE EVERYTHING including Data/Cache.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
Ok...before I give it a shot...does anyone have a totally STOCK kernal so I can download too just in case something happens?

I dont have a computer right now...just my phone.

I want it just incase I get a boot loop with the first v2 file so I can get back online and try the HV version if needed.

Im rooted with terminal method..totally stock. Do I still need to wipe cache/dalvik first?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ikaraca:
i am on the stock rom, and whenever i tried any kernel, i returned to stock. so i assume i am on stock kernel which is

Kernel Version:

2.6.32.21-g899d047

htc-kernel@and18-2#1

Tue Oct 26 16:10:01 CST 2010

Am i supposed to install any other kernel before yours? and i already tried HV one, i got the same result: boot loops. Is there anything to say about it? i really wanna try this kernel. i was getting similar error when i tried to install grankin01s kernel on stock rom. but when i install cyanogen and grankin01s kernel. i was gettin 3200 from quadrant.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Marine6680:
Market is the only GApp you need in the ROM, the rest as you say can be downloaded. I have a few nit picks with the stock contacts being too heavy on the tmobile side. It defaults that when new contacts are added they are synced to tmobile and not google. And a few system sounds and ringtones/notifications are missing from the systems media folder.

Other than that the ROM is good. Espresso sense isn't too bad, its close to stock feel with sense widgets and functions. Maybe yank out the tmobile versions of contacts and put in the regular sense version.

edit:

Did you remove the ability for the smartass governor to clockdown to less than 738mhz?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Crazydaddy:
Same here....boot loops with all different kernels....this is pissing me off. I dont want to run CM, glacier...or any other rom. I just want to OC the stock one....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
you can get contacts to default a new contact to Google by

- make sure ALL your contacts are on Google's server (aka login to gmail on your computer and make sure everything is there under contacts)

- go to accts and sync in master settings and make sure T-Mobile is not checked

- delete all contacts from your phone (don't worry they'll come back on first sync w Google)

- press menu while in contacts and select view. uncheck everything except google

- now sync with google (you can force it under accts and sync menu) and it will put your google contacts back

now every time you create a new contact it will default to Google.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grrrizo:
I have been using ur kernel since first version.Not had any problems with it, great battery life with it.Im running it w stock rom w some bloatware removed.thanks for ur great work.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Onefast:
Same here, been using it since day one, and save for a couple of bootloops at the beginning, no problems. Battery life is pretty darn good... 3 hours now and I'm still at 100%. Gotta love that! No lag after waking, and so smooth! Thank you so much for this and your continuing effort!

[myTouch 4G Android Development] hiepxhop:
noob at this

i am running the 1.1.6 IG and successfully flashed this kernel. now what? does something get installed for me to go change some settings around? or is everything built in and automatic?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] epsix:
Install SetCPU so you can OC or under clock if you wish..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
Finally got it going. Had to install grankins first for some reason.

Anyway...installed set cpu too.

Any settings I needed to change?

Its set to smartass right now...and I have it OC'd to 1401 max and 245 min.

Do I also need to check off "set on boot too?

What is everyone running max at?

Thanks for your work Faux!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Crazydaddy:
FFS....I don't get it. None of the kernels will boot. Grankins, Fauxs, Gorilla....all of em boot loop....But Iced Glacier will install and run fine. I want my own stock rom OC'd dammit.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] RavenWulf:
personally I run mine at 1209 max and 368 min, gets me through the whole day without having plug in, and cuts out the lag when screen comes back on that I had when running min at 245. if it's stable for you and your not getting random reboots or bootloops you can check the set on boot.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
What I did to get it working after boot loops on all....was

Wipe cache and dalvik...Install grankins v5 first...reboot.

It never worked for me

..just loaded up then froze my phone...pulled the battery...got back into recovery...did NOT wipe or clear cache or dalvik...then installed Faux's v2...then fix permissions before I restarted...and now im good.

Hope this works for you too
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
Thanks RavenWulf!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Crazydaddy:
Im going to give that a shot....

Well suck me sideways...it worked! Booted and running at 1300ish/368. Set cpu running but no profiles enabled. I wanna see if its stable and good battery life then ill enable the setting at boot. Stock rom, a few bloat items removed/saved to card. Only other mod so far is the android electricfying apple boot ani.

Thanks Vin for that tip. Looking forward to a sweet kernel now!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ckisgen:
I've been running at either 1ghz or 1.1 max with 268mhz min. I don't have any lag when turning screen back on..so gonna try and leave here for a while.

also gonna test with no setcpu (uninstall) and see what that does to battery since I'm at or near what faux has the stock kernel behavior set at.

A day of using BFS LV and its fast and still good on battery. Thanks again Faux

Edit: Using BFS LV, indoor, I just tested navigation and gps wouldn't lock on. From GPSstatus, I did resets and downloaded new GPS data but was still slow and unstable in locking on to Satellites and when it locks, it only locked on to around max 3. And I kept going back to Nav but GPS still wouldn't lock after waiting for around 4 mins and I decided not to wait anymore. So, I decided to install the CFS LV version and test Nav and GPS locked on again pretty fast. Ran GPSstatus, stable and locked on to max 11 Satellites so far.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] imabrokendownload:
After deleting the GPS data and downloading the assistance data, did you restart your device?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] NeverAlwaysEver:
When running BFS LV version, I didn't restart after deleting and downloading new GPS data because I figure I shouldn't have to since I didn't need to before. After installing CFS LV version, I didn't need to restart my phone, GPSstatus worked, locked on to a good number of Satellites and my Nav GPS locked on just fine.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] imabrokendownload:
Do you mind trying it and posting results?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] NeverAlwaysEver:
BFS LV version - I tested Nav GPS again and this time it locked on. And I didn't restart phone after running GPSstatus.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] fsrick:
actually, how do you guys define the gps is locked. in gps status, it shows 6/6 fix/Sats quickly, but it takes 10 minutes to show the latitude and longitude.

i never tried the google navigation yet.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
My definition is when GPS is usable with Google Navigation :) which means you get long and lat fix (aka, GPS icon is NOT flashing).

With GPSStatus, press menu and select Manage A-GPS State, Select Reset, then go back again and select download to get the latest A-GPS data...

Help troble shot

:confused: i have continuos trouble on the last kernels but I have little time the last days to post here,

1=I have noticed that my phone reboots on the same stretch of highway 5 times. On two occasions there was no programs running while that happen and i had restarted the phone half hour before passing thru that stretch. But on the way back it was fine. 2 continuos days runig 0.9.8 CFS LV and next day 0.9.9 CFS LV

A day before I tried 0.9.8 CFS SV and 5 calls 2min each, 5 text msgs, 5 minutes of web, and 7 hours later I had 27% battery left nothing else running on the back ground.

I think there is a pattern, for what i can tell there is A LOT of jumping of signal strength before it reboots on areas that dont have great signal. I think it will be possible to replicate as soon as i have more time.

I will like to know if there is an aplication i can use to see what programs are sending data and receiving on the background to see if there is a correlation
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Just wanted to report a problem I believe is related to the kernel. Both myself (CFS-SV) and someone else (BFS) have reported problems when the notification bar was pulled down. On my phone, the phone rebooted on it's own when it was pulled down. One phone was running 0.9.8 BFS (not sure if it was LV or SV) and mine was running 0.9.9 CFS-SV.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Vinsane:
The kernel does not have any effect on your signal.

And I have been running 9.9CFSLV and have had zero issues with the pull down all day. Which I use a lot.

When reporting problems...there are things you guys need to provide, which is more detailed info.

Such as rom etc. All of which is outlined in the first post by Faux.

Help us help you and Faux will be able to read what problems are happening on a wide spread basis..or on just individual accounts.
