Disclaimer to moderators:
Slight OT is fine, but when users decide to act stupid they should be dealt with with the appropriate means - its really annoying for me when OT turns crazy. Please put the warning/ban hammer anytime any of you think there's lack of respect and/or too much unwanted OT crap - but if it doesn't meet this criteria let the OT posts alone. Thank you.

Cheers!

Fsync toggle:

It's disabled by default. Enabled = stock IO speed while having data integrity; disabled = more IO throughput but less data integrity

echo Y > /sys/module/sync/parameters/fsync_enabled (N to disable and Y to enable)

GPU clock interface:

To check the current GPU frequency:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_oc

To change it:
echo X > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/gpu_oc (change the X with your desired value. Should work up to 750Mhz at least, beyond that is pure madness)

I'm guessing that is a technical term. Maybe someone should add it to the wiki.

On topic: I flashed r1, but am getting a never ending boot animation (not a loop).

Also tried 'fastboot erase cache'. Will report more when I know it.

EDIT: Same thing happens for me each time I try... never ending bootanimation.

are you on CM10? Mine didn't boot also. Went back to stock just for Franco <3 and flashed fine.

Yesss, does this mean you will update your app to work with nexus 7?

Franco, can you update to use the any kernel updater so you don't have to worry about ramdisk? Would be nice to use on aokp

    r62 - Where is the lag?
    * 99% rework of the Hotplug driver. Cores are intelligently managed. Always 2 cores are online to diminish thread migration and all the intrinsic operations that are inherent of onlining and offlining cores. If the load is high enough the other 2 cores come online
    * Custom changes to interactive that now reacts a bit better and more intelligently to load changes, specially during big load, which will majorly improve gaming performance
    * Interactive tunables are scaled from the Hotplug driver based on either there are 2 or 4 cores online. If there are 2 online it uses the normal tunables, if there are 4 they get tuned for maximum performance
    * Merge all the work from the usual suspects, which contains the special partition mounts
    * Bunch of other custom patches and other patches from upstream to improve IO handling
    * No more Youtube lag as far as I know

    By the way I think I fixed that bug where the device could be stuck in a lower frequency (I think that was the problem AFAIK) and driver it unusable unless rebooting. Let me know if thats fixed, which I tried to fix anyway.

    Just pushed r48. Re-merged original hotplug driver and changed just a few lines to make it a little bit lighter. Should give a little extra power now. Also fixed the UV interface, you won't be able to input more than 600mV. Merged a few changes from upstream too. Hotplug options from my app will be gone with this driver change. Also it won't be dual-core minimum by default, will hotplug normally. I plan to re-add the options to change the hotplug parameters sometime in the future.

    Happy new year folks, time for r77!!

    * Merged interactive governor improvements from FK for N5
    * Merged Hotplug driver improvements from FK for N5
    * Merged touchboost generic driver from FK for N5
    * Other misc patches merged from upstream
    * Added CM11 support

    Thanks to osm0sis who kindly sent me the correct ramdisk changes for this release. Hope you enjoy this.
