Dynamic F-Sync
This is a goodie by faux123, so all credits go to him for creating this unique feature !


Many kernels just disable synchronous writes to file to speed up system. While this works neatly, it is also dangerous as processes believe that file writes are actually synced to disk (or mmc media in our case) while this is not yet true ! The gain is a noticeably smoother user experience, but the risk of doing so is to have a corrupted filesystem if the device crashes, user pulls battery, battery fully depletes ... so that the device is turned off unexpectedly. To allow for the benefit, but to minimize the risk, faux123 created dynamic fsync, which while the screen is on, will defer file sync temporarily, but when screen gets turned off, a flush is called to synchronize all outstanding writes keeping your data safe.



SLIMBus OverClocked
This means SLIMbus will use its maximum potential to give the best audio quality for the hardware. Takes advantage of both hardware and the mods from zeroinfinity, also opening the door for more things that were previously limited by this. Researched and experimented by ZeroInfinity and Poondog

All media output to speaker issues are now resolved...new build in the oven. :good:

Haven't used speaker too much in call since call audio was just fixed yesterday, so any feedback on that by users is welcome.
Seemed ok when I did try it.
This is a stable beta, so there may be minor issues and/or things that neither I or the testers have run into yet.
Although most issues had been detected in testing and fixed prior to release.

Getting OTA prompt for 4/16 build currently on 5/6 build
Yeah, ignore that, download 5/7 from the OP.
Will get the OTA updater fixed up now for Official builds.

**EDIT- ^^^ Fixed
Should not see that prompt for old builds now on 5/7 (or on 5/6 build after a reboot)

Is there anything special that needs to be done for the Verizon M8 or does it automatically make that choice for you?:)
It will automatically choose what is needed for your device

Quick question. The the double tap wake or sleep work?

Double tap to wake does not work, but double tap statusbar to sleep works if enabled in settings > statusbar
