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.

No No, buddy, please keep up your good work, we are glad to see the diversities.
I hear people talking about updating kernel on a CWM rom, im currently using CoreDroid DHD v5.4 With the kernel that came with it. im checking my kernel info and it has a date of march 9 on it. so can i use the kernel update utility 9 on this rom to update it. also i here people talking about changing kernels whats that all about.
Thx in advance

Ok i meant a kernel for a coredroid DHD rom, is there any kernels
I just made a post about this yesterday when some one was asking about battery life, but I will post again.
The only roms that have custom kernel are the ones who's source has beeen released, or have been built from source ie. Froyo builds, CM7 builds, Miui builds. None of the ginger bread roms based on the leaked DHD have custom kernels, and probably won't have custom kernels. HTC is more then likely not going to release the source to their leaked rom. Also when flashing kernels you don't not want to switch bases, meaning you don't want to flash a CM7 on Coredroid (gingerbread) or a Froyo based rom.
If your still a little confused about what a kernel is, think of it this way ( I forget who said it in a thread before me), but a Rom is what you see on the screen, and a Kernel is what makes it happen.

Close but not quite, there is a custom OC/UV kernel for several different gingerbread roms. here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050106
i have used this kernel with coredroid 5.4 and it works flawlessy

Very well it came out four days ago. Even though what I said is still true there still isn't a custom kernel from the dhd source, because HTC more then likely won't release it. Good to see they ported one though.

true, i'll give you that one. that's the nice thing about linux through it's open source nature makes for the ability to use one devices code to create a work of art for another device.
Coredroid is using leedroids latest custom kernel. It doesn't work well with 5.4 but works greatttttt with 6.0!!

hey everyone,
does anybody know if these two are compatible to work together or is it something where it's either or? i've been looking through the threads but haven't manage to find any answer for it. i appreciate any answers.
THANKS!
All reports say there is no reason for Pauls patch on custom roms.
oh alright. thanks for responding

Faux kernel is not a ROM. He is using it on that ROM - so the question was not specifically answered.
I had Paul's patch on stock kernel when I first flashed faux kernel, but don't know for sure if it is needed (ie - is the patch of the kernel or something else?).

Let me be more specific in case the OP did not get it. No, you do not need Pauls patch for custom kernels or roms. It is strictly designed for the stock rom to fix a mistake by LG.

The patch was an updated services.jar messed up by lg in the stock ROM. Do kernels also include a services.jar?
If so, then no need when kernels are flashed either, as it would be overwritten. This would be the clarification he (and I) was looking for. If not ??
Note - when I look in a whole ROM zip file - I can find it. Cannot when I open a kernel zip file.

What does that mean.so is the kernel baked into the rom: when we install faux's rom, we automatically get the kernel .

Yes - if you flash faux ROM - you get his kernel as part of it.
But the OP was about using faux (with) stock kernel on the stock froyo ROM. The stock ROM had some messed-up up stuff by LG in the (I have read) services.jar file in the stock ROM.
He asked if he could (should) use the paul patch with this combination. Since the services.jar is (I also believe) not changed by the kernel only, it appears that it should be flashed on top of the stock ROM once (unless you wipe and it is then gone), and then flash the kernel (I did that).
For ALL CM ROMs - different services.jar - no problem. But for EB and other stock based froyp ROM's - I am not sure. If the Dev's built paul's fix into the services.jar -then they are OK. If not, they might be able to use the fix also.
Would REALLY like to hear from one of the Dev's on this. Been all over the forums, and with respect to the kernel only and other than stock froyo ROM's - it has not been clearly spelled out.
its for STOCK roms not custom kernels dont matter in this pauls patch fixes a problem with lg stock rom all custom roms should have this fixed
Hey guys!
I recently got a Rogers captivate (I896) and have been playing around with it lately... Currently it is running CM7... I followed these steps to put Cyanogenmod on my phone (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Full_Update_Guide) I've been reading up on kernels, and am pretty interested in changing the kernel... But when I checked the kernel, i had a kernel named 2.6.35.7-g8f2a88c-dirty [email protected] #1... I did some searches but it came up empty... What is this kernel?
I've been looking at Glitch, hoping that it would improve battery life...
Thanks for helping me identify!

With a few quick searches it seems that that kernel is the one that CyanogenMod uses as the stock kernel, I don't have CM7 on mine but take a look in the dev forums and you can see other kernels and read a little about the differences. Then choose the best one for you. And if it turns out it isn't the best one for you flash another.

KK, thanks... I was wondering why it was like that... Does installing roms influence kernels? It shouldn't right? When I followed the instructions it said I was installing the SpeedMod kernel...
Well, thanks for your help! Now I need to look for a different kernel... My battery life is only around a day, if i let it idle.... Thanks again!

Your welcome and hit the thanks button. As to your other question most roms will come with their custom kernel cooked in some will use the stock kernel but almost all roms will change your kernel when you flash something new. Kernels and roms are completely different things but you can't flash a ROM without a kernel. But you can flash a new kernel without flashing a new rom. Just make sure that you read read read. So that you don't end up bricking your phone.
Hello, I have been doing some reading here as well I sit on IRC on the #skyrocket channel which is pretty quiet these days.
I am using TPC GB rom build with Da_G kernel, and so far (since november 2011) it has been solid.
I have tried alienROM for the ICS leak, but it is missing some kernel features I like, however is a decent ROM. I was wondering if there were any nice ROMs or Kernels for ICS yet, or are well all still waiting for samsung to release an official ICS build so proper kernels can be made. It has been quite awhile and are we even getting an official build for the I727R (Rogers)
I wanted to post here if that is OK because I have not been finding too many answers to what I am looking for. I am in no rush really, but wanted to start thinking about tweeking my phone. Would it be best to play with leaked builds or just wait till some official builds come out then wait and go from there. If anyone has suggestions that would be great.
Thank you for your time and comments.
Hi. All the roms you'll find here are decent and will each appeal to different people and their needs. I've found the latest SkyICS to be excellent in many ways. Try a few different ones to see what you like. Any will be better than stock GB.
As for kernels, there are a few out, but none will have all the features we like about a custom kernel until the official ICS is released because -as far as I know - the code for the kernel hasn't been released yet.
For example, we won't have overclocking until someone can tear into the official released kernel.
I am not a developer, so please, someone correct me if I'm wrong about this.

Thanks for the reply, I am on GB (not stock) running rom / kernel (4.3.5) just can't decide on what ICS I want to go with. So I will continue to read away
