Damit "microstutter" !! thats exactly the word i needed , yes less microstutter :) thats what i experience ( thanks lol )

In straight linux distro there is nothing in userland or the kernel which "overides" tune2fs or mke2fs.ext4, once the params are set, everything else (udev,udisks,e2fsprogs etc etc ) just recognises the partition as ext4 and thats it, even gparted plays ball, you get all the speed benefits of ext4 over ext2 without the disadvantages ( in relation to speed ).

Should be the same in Android, once journal removed then tweaks like journal_data_writeback and other journal related mount options are simply ignored on mount and stuff like tuning buffers becomes actually useful. There should be nothing in the linux-derived substructure of android that can complain.

So long story short any rom sould be ok for comparative study, in this case they should all behave the same, but thats a big should i would like to hear from someone more expert in android, im quite willing to be bang wrong :)

Definitely feeling smoother after flashing on Buttered AOKP! Thanks heaps :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bcvictory:
Do we have to flash this after installing a new ROM?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] halrulez:
OK so how about flashing if you have already settled in and not a fresh flash... Kinda a dirty flash I guess
[Nexus 7 Android Development] frost_nz:
I flashed over a ROM I had be running for an few weeks just fine.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Cosa44:
My score went up 500pts after flashing on to a 3 month old SmoothRom5.1.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pegasus912:
Has anyone flashed this in CWM?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] davelikestacos:
Rasbean Jelly 5-24-13 and Trinity ALPHA4b with the Mitsuyoshi EXT4 Mod

This ROM/Kernel combo is already so smooth that it's really hard to distinguish if this mod is producing smooth buttery goodness or if it's just the amazing ROM/Kernel. Either way, I'm loving how smooth my Nexus is right now.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Franzferdinan51:
Works on Atrix hd and nexus 7 actually fixed our huge lag problem you may be a champion sir
[Nexus 7 Android Development] xfrancis14:
Which one do you flash there's 2 zips do I flash the add journal one or the remove journal?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] fozzie:
Depends on whether you want to remove or reinstate journaling!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] xfrancis14:
Well which one is supposed to make everything smoother? Haha
[Nexus 7 Android Development] fozzie:
Just read the very first sentence of the very first paragraph of the very first post ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] davelikestacos:
So, I know this is in the Nexus 7 forum, but will this work on other Android devices, like the Sprint Galaxy S3?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Shmi117:
I don't think it will because the updater-script included in the package seems like it is for the Nexus 7 only. You can update it for your device I'm sure of it, but it might be difficult if you do not know what you are doing.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] flywithme:
Will it work on other android decvices?

Can I flash using CWM instead?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Lim Wee Huat:
No...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ace-user:
will flashing this affect battery life?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Dr.Gasmo:
Do not use on other devices. It is written for this particular processors and structure. I think check out an app called TRICKSTER MOD and in it your kernel might have support to turn off FSYNC. I think it is the same thing. that patch should work on more phones. The author here was talking to me in PM about writing it for another device, but he went AWOL. It is what it is.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] frost_nz:
I'm almost certain that fsync has nothing to do with journaling. Although I could be wrong...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Cliniclyinsane:
I was told that fsynce is completely different. If you dont know what your talking about please dont speak
[Nexus 7 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Do I have to flash it in TWRP or does that also work with cwm6.0.3.1?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Dr.Gasmo:
http://linux.web.cern.ch/linux/scientific5/docs/rhel/Global_File_System_2/s1-manage-data-journal.html Fsync and data journaling are related. I merely provided a little tip that would be applicable to more users.

You were told something that you just repeat out your ass. Then you tell me not to speak? Get over yourself.

In my post I kept it clear that I was uncertain of what I was saying. I'm hoping people do their own research. Please, eat your foot.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Cliniclyinsane:

Its obviously not the same if i had fsynce enabled already but got a performance boost after applying this zip

[Nexus 7 Android Development] dalbig:
ok, so i flashed using CMW and it worked... i really dont notice too much of a performance boost at all... ill mess around with it alittle more before i make a final judgment.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] ayysir:
Its only for n7 devices due to the partitions stated in the updater script, just adb shell your device on linux and type mount, gives you the list of partitions for device. Just look for cache, system and data. Usually it is listen by name
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bray424:
Would this mod have any adverse reaction to an init.d fstrim script? I'm not familiar with Linux commands so I just want to make sure this isn't redundant or worse.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] simonbarsinistr:
This worked well, I actually unzipped, modified and rezipped the script all on my gnex. It worked well, except my data partition (/by-name/userdata) isn't taking to having its journal removed, and always shows has_journal on a verification after flashing it. I thought I had figured it out because I forgot to change the unmount commands to match the partition name, but even after that it didn't work. Oh well, it seems to help quite a bit on my N7 and Gnex!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] bray424:
So using TWRP, if we have it set to erase all files on a partition rather than actually format the partitions, we shouldn't need to reflash this every time we clear cache/dalvik, correct?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jubei_mitsuyoshi:
hi all back from extended holiday to spain . HOT :) !!!!!

I was porting the script to other architectures, and will finish off now :)

But i am finding the technique popping up embedded in other custom roms ( chaos droid comes to mind ) so please check you may be running without a journal already :), there is no danger in using the script if already without journal, in that case it simply does nothing except a fscheck.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Dr.Gasmo:
Aaah and I thought you bailed ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] STAticKY:
Could you possibly adapt this for the gt-i9300? I've made one myself but can't get the journal on /cache to turn off...

TP.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] JCred:
Used the flashable zip in cwm and the result is arbitrary, but consistent, lower Antutu scores. Lol. Stock, rooted, lean kernel.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wmccombs:
I have tried running both remove_journal and add_journal scripts in TWRP. Both state the /radio could not be mounted. Does this only work on the 3G model? Thanks in advance

Sorry, I might add I am on 4.3 and running a rooted Stock rom.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] fozzie:
The scripts don't touch the radio partition; you've got other issues going on there.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wmccombs:
I have had no problems flashing the SU zip or the Stock zip and re-rooting. Afterwards I also flashed a zip to give me a different power menu. I unchecked the box to authenticate the zip signature and it did flash, however at the end I did get the same message E: unable to mount \radio when it was doing the partition details.Testing now to see if it actually worked.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] PMOttawa:
Thank you...

for putting this together. I'm really hoping it makes a difference on lag for my N7.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] add12364:
Does this work for the nexus 10?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Shmi117:
No.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] defconoi:
Gonna try this, please consider porting this to all devices or making a universal script. This is badass
[Nexus 7 Android Development] killa12222:
Working great on my N7 running PA 3.99! Out of curiosity and performance addiction, I flashed it on my HOX running ViperX 4, 4.2.2 and everything works! Both devices do seem snappier. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Shmi117:
That's a placebo effect that you are feeling on your HOX. If the filesystem format is similiar (which I doubt it is) then it will work.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] killa12222:
Could be that too. Ran a couple of benchmarks (Antutu, Quadrant) and results are about the same on the HOX. Both are Tegra 3 so should be similar?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Rusl1TA:
Could it work on my S3 i9300? It worked perfectly on my N7
[Nexus 7 Android Development] BohArie:
questions

is this mod compitable to other device such as acer iconia tab a500 and a200??
[Nexus 7 Android Development] a user:
nearly everything in this block of text is wrong.

the journaling is is not a legacy of the linux server heritage nor is it primary for servers. first of all journaling as a quite new feature of all modern filesystems. sedond it is not designed for servers only. it yields a nice benefit for non professional servers as it allows to skip some depper checks but in the professional enviroment if such dramatic event occurs like all UPS going out of power no enterprise would risk getting their servers up wihtout a full integrity check.

journaling is of great interest for desktop system and... now sit down... for EMBEDED DEVICES! especially on tha latter ones they usually do NOT have much IO hence the overhead usually DOES NOT impact their overall performance but it improves GREATLY overal system integrity in case of sudden power loss which happens on no devices as often as on ... guess what... embeded devices or mobile systems. the number one devices with sudden power loses.

and to end this post. i very doubt any of you really have any speed improvements by disabling this feature (a mdoern and not a legacy feature!!!). this so called "trick" is already a few years old on android (as it also works on ext3 btw.) and so far i've seen many claiming a feelable speed improvement but none of these claims persisted till now which would contradict the whole knwoledge about the features implementation btw.

p.s. though, just in case, if this here woudl be the exception where you indeed see a notable speed improvement during normal usage, than the device most probalby would have totally different issues as to why it even has so high io loads that the journaling overhead becomes noteable.

one may chose to disable it in such a case but at least don't tell fud about the facts.

EDIT: forgot to mention... disabling journaling can at most speed up WRITE operations but never read operations. and on a mobile device the very very most of your io operations that have impact on your "speed" feeling are read oeprations. there are nearly no situations where a mobile device has to suffer from a high write load.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] iZLeeP:
I might agree on this one. Did disable journaling before but never noticed any difference than with journal on after a few weeks of usage. Better leave journaling on for reliability as the boost is merely placebo and there aren't any coherent statistics to prove what journaling off claims to give.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] XqepX:
Works good for me. My runtimes and my I/O perfomance is a bit better (checked in Antutu Bench)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] koragg97:
Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190 and want to know if removing the journal will increase gaming performance as that's my main problem with this phone (it lags a lot in games). Thanks for any informative reply I may get :)

Floating Windows shouldn't interfere with anything else because that's part of the Android API
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You can use xposed and set MW to tablet mode and open up to 4 floating window's, can also enable the floating and split KB as well. MW shouldn't interfere with floatable apps, it works fine with stock TW on the Note II so I don't see why it would need to be disabled for MW to work on the SIII

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
He said it's not in md4 which I find odd since floating window's is on the note 2 with multiwindow and has been since 4.1.1. It would be strange for samsung to waste time disabling it for no real reason.

Hello.

I have a iMate and I wish to update my bootloader. Is there a simple way of doing it? Mine is 1.03 and I've read somewhere that there is a 1.10. Also any link to download the latest bootloader will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot guys!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] itsme:
earlier bootloaders are better, 1.01 and 1.02 allow you to quite easily create sd-card updates. while 1.06 doesn't, and 1.03 is more difficult.

but, if you find the 1.10 bootloader, I would be interested in it too.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theshamrockking:
I just want to know if anyome can explain why when running antutu benchmarks I cant even get scores equal to the score the app says I should be getting for this phone let alone better ones. Infact I often get much worse scores not even close to what it says I should be getting. Even more so Im running custom rom with overclocked kernel and its just sad. When u look to see what your device other are gettibg score wise there is like a major difference. I get like 10,000 to like 14,000. Iv tried using set cpu to make it run better with no success. And I tried using the app that came with the kernel to make it better by changing some settings and still nothing. It seems like nothibg I do can even get me scores that the phone should get as an average let alone better ones even when overclocked and such.

Sent from my Note II
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Funny you should post this...

I was angonizing over my scores a month or so ago, and was not getting scores even close to what I expected.

The tests made me so mad I gave up and went stock...LOL

Benchmarks are affected by soooooo many variables within the OS, they are often considered eye wash for speed related results.

The rom you run, the kernel, modem, background processing, data, wifi....blah blah blah....LOL

You see where I'm going with this ??

Stock TW based builds always run the best for me, and give the best scores...(remember, they dont mean much really).....really

If your device runs well, gets good battery life, and you are happy with the choice in roms you have made, then dont worry about antutu, or anything else.

Raw scores are called raw for a reason, as they are base estimates of a perceived result.

True testing of a device must be done under a set of rules only a factory can measure.....IMHO, and unless the devices being tested are paired "EXACTLY" the same, then the comparisons are flawed anyway......at least thats how i see it.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theshamrockking:
I understand that and I know how it affects but its more of a I do notice when my phone is quick or not and the scores usually reflect that. When I had my optimus g with it running alot more crap I was gettibg betyer scores and it wasnt overclocked and all that it was just stock. So I really believe that it should be running better than its showing leaving me to believe that there is somethibg wrong with the kernel or something. I have done this with quite a few devices and there usualky a noticeable difference from stock to overclocked scores. But with this phone seems like it dosent show on this phone.

Sent from my Note II
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Very possible. ..

Most reports for this quad core tell us that overclocking takes the device a bit backward in speed and performance.

I overclocked for a few weeks, and saw no appreciable performance gains.

The end result for me was a stock variant rom and a stock kernel.

I then gained transition speeds with launcher changes.

Nova launcher, with the transition speeds set to maximum is quite impressive. And graphical transitions were running best at stock speeds.

I might get flamed for this, but I would honestly say that with minor UI adjustment, and stock kernels, this device needs very little if any real change at all to achieve the best performance.

Mileage will vary, but I'm staying rooted stock with a custom launcher.

Everything else seems to drag this device down. ..g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theshamrockking:
My real main issie is with gaming on the decice I notice glitching and slowness quite often and I just feel jipped. It is quad core 2gb of ram why is it so ****. I had the optimus g and it was amazing I only went to this phone for the screen size.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
It's been said that our note 2 is a bit lacking with the current GPU...although, a GPU overclock may help you the most, while leaving the CPU alone.

I've not tried any GPU modifications, unless the Roms I've used included them without my knowledge....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theshamrockking:
I did try and overclock the gpu and I get vaired results I havent tried playing any of my graphically intense games yet so im not sure but I believe it may have slightly helped. Its too bad I had thought that the mali chip was better than the 330 thats in most high end phones now.

Thats just too bad. Maybe the note 3 will run nicer. Although if they do indeed increase the screen size again I dont think I will be abke to handle it so for my sake I hope it stays similar in size. This phone is about as big as im going to want.

Sent from my Note II
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Agreed....

This device is more than big enough. And overall, I'm happy with it. The performance is adequate for most applications, and unless a user pushes it really hard, the phone just runs well.

Not superb, but well....IMHO....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theshamrockking:
Oh I totally agree. I guess I only notice any thing because that optimus g blew me away. Considering I had previously had a htc vivid and a galaxy nexus as the best phones and so the optimus was amazing. This is more than adequate and I guess more so than the optimus as that had errors just trying to run some games. Like as if the game wasnt able to play well with the hardware. SoI more than like this phone.
