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've been waiting for this day for almost a month. Can't wait to see this kernel develop like the one for the GNex. I swear by Franco.

welcome francisco

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.

That'll be the reason

I totally forgot I was on CM10

Yes, soon.

And yes, it might not boot on CM derivates, this was built from stock ramdisk.

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

No, my kernels come bundled with the ramdisk, thats how I use and thats what I prefer, and it won't change. ZRAM? lol...

OK then thank you for your work, good luck to you.

Try. If it doesn't boot, flashboot boot boot.img of downloaded rom.
