WesGarner has released yet another update to his WG-Build ROM. WG-Build Y has been updated with more enhancements to make your experience even better.

If you are really wondering what has changed in this build, look at the kernel. Where my previous ones just use CM – this one is from scratch!
Every beta tester has said this is the best version ever thanks to the changes made (half of which I don’t remember)

Build Y:

CFS with 10MB RAM Hack
CFS without RAM Hack (for 3D Gamers)
BFS with RAM Hack (Fixed, Download and go)
BFS without RAM Hack

Run Fix_Permissions after boot (just in case)

Incremental updates/changes (I think the updates from 10.2 still apply for Build Y)
(No reboot necessary before incremental update):
International GMaps
Advanced Launcher Replacement(Hero-Themed)
Application Fix instructions are below

WG-Kernel (the biggest thing this update has)
* Uses CM’s Build(not kernel) Git(12/27/09 – on track with latest build right now)
—- MultiTouch working in the new Browser app and Gallery
—- Many new Translation fixes (send me or CM these)
—- New Eclair Apps: Browser, Calculator, IME, Alarm Clock_
—- New Amazon MP3 App
* Updated to Market 1660 plus themed
* Updated to Contacts.apk v2.32
* Data Sync Bug Fixed – Forever!
* Themed YouTube
* Includes Java Runtime app
* Recompiled CC for both CFS and BFS
* Same Incr Updates should work
—- Advanced Launcher incr is now the actual replacement
* Reverted Build Prop to fix connection problems
* Changed WiFi Scan rate to 2min instead of 45sec to save battery
* No Longer Requires Danger SPL
* Tons more things – can’t keep up with..

Kernel Updates in Build Y:
CFS/BFS Options & RHack/NoRhack Options
* Swap-enabled (plus working CC)
* Deadline I/O Scheduler (FIFO=1)
* Setup Group Scheduler for Deadline (CFS-Only)
* Using Tree-based hierarchial RCU
* CPUFreq Setup (with 45% CPU upspeed threshold)
* Enabled Preemptible Kernel
* WLAN.ko is compiled with Kernel Modules
* USB Function has Ethernet Tether
* WiFi Tether Enabled
* No unneeded modules such as SquashFS, CramFS, HID-Dummy, etc etc etc
* IPV6 is included in kernel
* EXT3 runs on EXT4 Drivers, EXT2 runs on old drivers
* Disabled Kernel Debugging (for faster usage)
