Yes its disabled. I have been disabling it for years on my android.roms and kernels and its never an issue.

Data gets written out every 1.5 seconds on this kernel so its really safe ;)
oh that's interesting.

Back in franco's kernel thread, he was advised by Entropy512 to keep fsync on because a) it's safer and b) for some reason Samsung's kernel code worked better with fsync on...

Will still try your kernel anyways. Had some horror stories with franco r4 kernel (where fsync was disabled) where every random reboot would cause data to be corrupted in /data leading eventually to forced wipe :/

I have gotten scores up to 13ks with a kernel with it off and not issues so far so I am happy to see it off on this one too :D

i would disagree with this. Firstly, there have never been any reported random reboots during the extensive testing phase this has gone through. Secondly, with a data write-out of 1.5 seconds it is highly unlikely to not sync during a transaction, and thirdly I have been doing it on all my android roms and kernels going back through my Sensation DHD and HD2 and have never once had an issue.

And it most certainly is faster with fsync off on this kernel code :good:

at the end of the day your mileage may vary, and all you can do is try it for yourself. But remember every kernel tuned for performance will have possible side effects and it is a choice you must make. All I can ever give is my experiences and opinions :good:

ooooh I think I have made a breakthrough.

possibly, maybe, perhaps, coming soon

The first ever custom Galaxy Note kernel with native overclock to 1600mhz. No tegrak, no dodgy application modules - all done in kernel natively!

If it pans out and works (should do - compiling now) i will release it as a seperate GL_NOTECORE_EXTREME version :good::laugh:

Damn it man..I wish you were a cute girl so I could kiss you but sorry, I still give you a big :good:. I am testing your kernel. Got 4900 at 1.4Ghz..mighty good without the extra 200Mhz and so far I am liking it! :highfive:
Cant wait for that other one.



UPDATE:
Just an NOVA 3 and mine was running smooth with Franco R5 but DAMN! The intro scene just so smooth I had to watch it again. I have only seen it that smooth on GS3..seriously stunning.
Same for Asphal 7...just butter smooth.

Then you will be even more impressed THAT I GOT NATIVE OVERCLOCKING TO 1.6GHZ WORKING! !!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude I'm officially impressed...one awesome change: auto rotation is now butter smooth..how did you do it? It's not even a but choppy when exiting apps and it rotates back to portrait:D sweet stuff...!

Can you try to bring more scrolling smoothness? Like as far as I know paranoid Android's scrolling is awesome..if you can implement that type of scrolling in the next version you will have made my day sir! ! !

Voodoo and magic my friend :p

I will add this for all budding kernel developers. concentrate on the existing code rather than adding realitvely ineffective things like extra governors and whatnot. they arent going to massivle improve performance. changing the way the kernel code intrrfaces with the hardware will ;)
