Good work man, I'll try it!!

imho, it's one of the featured smoothest rom besides CM. try it with BFS kernel.

Hmm.. there seems to be little interest in this rom port. I'll discontinue the port if people don't want it.

Thanks a lot for the hard work. Will try it out mate

no many issues so far, everything seems to work well.

Thank you. this is just what I was looking for. I was using bcrook's CM port in earlier versions and was doing ok(only some FCs in the first boot).
and since build Y I can't user bcrook's port with app2sd and swap..maybe something to do with the new kernel.
I did post in that thread if there is a 32A port prior the release, but guess too many people are just too excited for the new release and overlooked my post..anyway
please don't discontinue it, I am sure many people will like to run WG build on their 32A Sapphire.
just wondering, I saw your other thread MAGIC Port, can we use that with ANY dream/32B ROM? and more importantly, is is stable? (I saw an big red ALPHA..)
if so, can we also use that with WG-Build?
so you can take a rest now, then?

Thanks for porting, this rom seems sexy. Lol. Aniwae, pls continue! Since it would be great to have this rom widely used on 32A radios.

@haozheng91
MAGIC Port is stable actually.
But no, for WG Build and few other roms, even though it ports properly, it doesn't do a full port. For Cyanogen Mod, WG Build Y, Enomether etc. they use custom kernels. When you use my magic port, well, it does work, but it's not using the intended kernel which the ROM creator compiled.
But anyway, your problem was you're using CM Port over WG Build Y.. that's incorrect because of the different ramdisk (the rom init script). Hence the A2SD failed.
---
the rom is stable so far for me. i'm loving it and the smoothness.
so far, no FC. though, BFS does drain battery.

What's the difference between CFS & BFS?

multitouch
wipe
flash WG-Build Y.R1 - CFS with RAM Hack
flash wgbuildy_ebi1_signed.zip - CFS kernel
everything is going well, but multitouch doesnt work ...

BFS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Fuck_Scheduler
Naturally, smoother UI but drains a little more battery.
@coltcha:
CFS somehow doesn't work. Try BFS. I'll recompile the kernel once wesgarner release another version.

Does this ROM include the radio image that will brick a 32A magic?

BFS drains more battery.. that's good to know.
if Cyanogen Mod and WG Build use different kernel, then what are some ROMs we can use your magic port? Cyanogen Mod is one of the most popular ROMs there..
what about any of the Eclair ROMs?
I have heard that BFS is supposed to be a little faster..but WG recommands CFS as BFS is not as stable or something.. as for the battery, I always have to recharge everyday, so can't really tell the difference between different ROM or kernel...

it doesnt.
@haozheng91
like i said, it'll work on any 32B roms.
it's just not a full port for cases of roms with custom kernel. so... if you go on to the dream forums, if the ROM dev say he compiled his own kernel... you will just not benefit from the custom kernel enhancement. that's all.
though, most of the time, the custom kernel isn't much of a benefit as they're usually just variants of existing kernels with different build configs. you'll also see that most devs tend to us CM kernel... especially eugene eclair roms and some senseui roms.

So it is safe for me to flash the ROM and then apply your port file, with my current SPL and Radio? Thanks.

yes. it should be. but then again, flash at your own risk, i or the rom dev aren't responsible if you brick your phone.

[32A][6.35] Overclock Kernel for 1.5 Sense ROMs - 710 MHz, 2.6.27.6, SetCPU Support

For
32A Magic on any Sense update based ROM
6.35 radio
Tested on CursorSense 1.2.6
AnyKernel version for any 1.5 Sense ROM 2.6.27.6 kernel
710 MHz is stable for 32A. It's well proven. Now.
If you are flashing this kernel over Cyanogenmod 5, I don't know what's wrong with you. The .27 kernel isn't meant for Donut, nevermind Eclair. Unless you know how to resolve some of the weird crap that will inevitably happen by you doing something like that, don't do it.
v3 Version works even when you setup setcpu profiles. enabled range from 176 MHz to 710 MHz. If you know how to customize setcpu, it is enabled to allow up to 768 MHz. included setcpu.txt that goes into /system/sd. Does not autodetect.
You can enable 729.6, 748.8 and 768 MHz by manually editing setcpu.txt.
ondemand governor seems to be buggy (exists also with Hero oc kernel, confirmed tests by than33). Try msm7k or performance instead.
Undervolted at lower speeds (245 MHz and down).
v2 Version is not setcpu compatible but does not require setcpu to scale properly. Does not display cpu frequencies. Possible dead on standby bug on some ROMs. SetCPU wont work because this kernel has perflock configured.
BOGOMIPS will still display 528 MHz but it is actually running at 710 MHz whenever 528 MHz is shown. Run a benchmark to see if it is actually faster.

If your phone wont boot, revert boot.img and wlan.ko by reflashing those files or reflashing your ROM entirely.
I deleted the kernel source off my computer for this. What you see is what you get

Can I just flash this over an existing cursorsense ROM then?

Yes, that's what i just did.
My score in linpack went from 2.32 (average) up to 3.13. And the phone looks stable and responsive.

That's the point

Haha sorry for that it was early and I'm a bit of a noob - anyway, definitely stable as hell so far, with only a bit more battery drain. Dolphin browser is noticeably smoother.
I was having issues a few weeks ago using any other kernel other than cursors, but this one is working fine (for the obvious reasons). Problem was yellowing and interlacing issues on the screen. I would be curious to try another ROM and flash this kernel to see if it would help those with the newer Rogers magics.
EDIT: don't do this. wouldn't boot past blank screen. wooooo ADB!

This is running on my 32A Magic right now. Everything seems okay actually.
Battery life doesn't seem much worse neither. This patch just bumps the frequency up without changing voltage.

WHat's about test with app Benchmark?

Before? After?
Real overclock or placebo?

If you still think this patch is placebo you have not been around for the last couple weeks

does it work on 2.1 Sense UI ROM (e.g. Smoki, CapySlide)?

Flashed on top of Capymod's ROM based on Sanpei's Legend 0.4 (Eris). Phone no longer boots.
6.35 Radio
1.76.2007 SPL
HTC Magic 32A (Rogers)
Reverted to pre-patched system.img and it's fine again though.

Do you think this is dangerous for the phone? I mean, I know there's always a certain risk, but is it high?

I know in computer OC'ing, the danger is heat, hence the advent of things like water cooling and fans the size of a hubcap.. If the same rings true, I don't think we have too much to worry about as the upping of the frequency hasn't put out any noticeable heat increase during gaming, calls, and regular usage. At least on my phone.

Looks like Sense 2.1 roms won't work with this. Thanks anyway!

Strangely enough Linpack reports no apparent improvement after flashing the update over, still in the 2.2-2.3s. Using CursorSense 1.2.6.1, 6.35 radio, on top of 32A. Any ideas?

Ok. I'm testing, but...
I installed CursorSense 1.2.4 fresh after full wipe, then 1.2.6 and got problem with superuser, then installed 1.2.6.1 - problems with superuser were gone
Installed Linpack 1.1.2, tested without patch...
Then installed patch via recovery, started, tested with Linpack again
No 3.xxx points, same 2.390-2.410 points
Why?
I explore patch - it contain 08dalviklink script. After installing patch - script can be found in /system/etc/init.d. SO patch installed successfully, but why Linpack results are same???
p.s. In build version: Cursorsense32A-1.2.6 + Dalvik-Cachemod by xau. What's wrong?
p.p.s.
Turned wifi off. Results are same
Disconnect from computer. Results are same.

Second try
Wiped everything
Installed 1.2.4, then 1.2.6.1, then patch
Tested by Linpack - got 2.41
Disappointment...

[devs] toastcfh 2.6.29 kernel source GSM Hero - NOW BOOTS AHERO (BUGGY)

Here's the GSM Hero devs discussion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685489
Github:
http://github.com/toastcfh/CdMa-HeRoC-2.6.29
toastcfh has the kernel up for 2.6.29, and is supposed to work for GSM Hero. I am no dev, but if I remember correctly this is the kernel source we are missing for 2.1 to happen for the 32A Magic.
The only difference between the GSM Hero and the 32A Sense UI 2.6.27 kernel that I saw was FB_MSM_LOGO, which did nothing except display a rgb565 logo. Didn't the same config compiled on the GSM Hero kernel work 32A before on the same kernel? Will it just work this time then for 32A Magic?
Here's the Cursordroid 32A Magic kernel: http://github.com/cursordroid/HTC-CCR-Kernel/blob/master/kernel-2.6.27
Or we could add the 'FB_MSM_LOGO' config option, but I don't think it really does anything important. I only see it under: http://github.com/cursordroid/HTC-CCR-Kernel/blob/master/kernel-2.6.27/drivers/video/Kconfig
Code:
config FB_MSM_LOGO
depends on FB_MSM
bool "MSM Frame Buffer Logo"
help
Show /logo.rle during boot.
One possible way to test this is to compile a kernel same as compile for GSM Hero (those settings might need to be confirmed by toastcfh, who seems to know his way around this kernel). Then pack a boot.img for Cyanogenmod 5 and see how that runs.
My cousin uses the 32A Magic so it's not exactly free for development at the moment. But it's worth a shot I think. Or am I being stupid?

im willing to test it
its open source kernel we have been waiting for new radio!!
I think this may have a chance to work with our device as CCR kernel by cursordroid is just a modified teknologist kernel

if someone could compile it we could try
would be lovely if it works
then we could really get something done

Maybe I am being an idiot, but if the radio and SPL are identical would someone try flashing a Hero ROM to your 32A?
This one is built on the new toastcfh kernel I think.

If this doesn't work, maybe the extra config option does need to be added. But I don't think it is even necessary.
Things may break, but this 2.1 Sense UI Hero ROM will boot on 32A Magic I think.
After seeing how 32A overclocking results have been IDENTICAL to the GSM Hero, I keep thinking of how similar our devices might be.
I can take that boot.img apart. It will be missing the sapphire boot file in there.

You are right on the money, these are the kernels ive been playing with and running cm on for a couple weeks now, this source has no sapphire board files, I added them and am compiling now to test.

good job! that means we can get CM and overclocks for new radio hopefully

If you compile an update.zip, can you use Koush's Anykernel format? That way we can just try it across different ROMs. Just the zImage and wlan.ko should be enough for most ROM ports in this forum.
By the way Cursorsense has always rom on 32A Heros:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=620243
And I've attached the init.sapphire.rc and init.hero.rc from Cursorsense
Also attached the build.*.prop files from CM5 test 5 that should get other things going.
They seem quite different though.
Doesn't seem any compilation needs to be done though. Just download the 2.1 Sense ROM, unpack boot.img, and repack it. The same wlan.ko should work fine.
I use something like this, based on CM Wiki's kernel port guide:
unpack-H.pl boot.img
mkdir ramdisk
cd ramdisk
gunzip -c ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i
cd ..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now slip in the init.sapphire.rc and modify whatever you need to the ramdisk
repack-H.pl ~/cm-kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage ramdisk boot.img
mv boot.img /media/win_share/boot.img

If everything plays nicely, we should be seeing 2.1 ports by the bucketload this weekend.
I'd like to see the HTC Legend port updated for this If not it's a matter of AnyKerneling it.

dum di dum, hopefully someone does it soon cannot do crap on the windows box

what we need is just a kernel image,and the rest is kroush's Anykernel script——I successfully port CM 5.0.7 test1~5 to new radio by using sanpei's kernel image(not boot.img but the kernel ),it works well~

Can someone look at this? I tried putting together a .config for Cyanogemod 5: http://pastebin.com/cKkBNtKJ
This compiles

Just following up on this, I talked to toastcfh a little and he has updated a .config for the sapphire on github. But it still does not boot the Magic. It gets stuck on splash1 and does not respond to any adb commands.
I will add in some of the missing stuff when I wake up tomorrow. Or someone else can give it a shot.

keeping a very close eye on this one, very interesting. wish i could contribute to this somehow

You can.
Follow this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/How_to_build_a_kernel_port_for_CM5
There's also this in case anything goes wrong with the more updated method for CM5:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/How_to_build_a_kernel_port
do a git clone on the toastcfh kernel source instead (change the url)
Everything else is like the same

Sanpei has good news about kernel source for new radio.

i second this as well... apparently superbad 1.6 is said to have a better battery life..

If you want to use the newest SuperBad, all you need to do is download any overclock kernel for 32A like pershoot's or dumfuq's (or mine) and flash it after flashing the 32B version of the ROM and it will work, for instance I'm running chromatic 2.1 on my 32A with no problems

i only found cyanogen kernel so far
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681165
so just flash this on top of the 32B ROM? sorry to ask this again but i just want to confirm once again before flashing
thanks for the answer

Yeah that's the kernel I ported. SuperBad is a heavily customized version of cyanogenmod but it still uses cyanogen's kernel. I know for certain that everything should work.

alright, thanks rps13!!!

it's definitely working i can say.
just flash the kernel on top of the rom. this superbad is fast and very smooth in my opinion. however the battery life is still poor.

because superbad 1.6 base on CM5.08 T4 , I thought that you can try to change boot.img with CM5.08 T4 32A roms, my tim G2 is not here , I will try it latter

i have tried. but i cant get 850 OC as he said , i can get 576 Oc only. i suspect BC only OC to 576 in all his kernel

just flash the ROM for G1, and then flash a kernel for 32A (there are a few).
once you apply the kernel, then thats all..
about the OC, of course you wont get it since ure using different kernel now.
