There are a lot more changes that went into this build as i did complete rebase of most of the source.

This update actually had most changes go into it since initial builds and i had to spend my off days to get it sorted haha but i think end result is worth it

As always huge thanks to everyone who donated to help cover the build server cost and got me coffee (This update sure made me drink a lot of it haha)

As always big thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped me cover the build server cost and got me coffee

Well here is something ive been working on for some time, Imrpoved overall app launch speed (especially for cold start)
And i have cool graph to go with it

*All values are in ms, from s7 edge running android 12L, values gathered with

hi res image available at imgur

So iorap is cool and all but i decided not to go with it and instead disable kernel tracing which gives us same results at the end without any mess iorap is doing.

Wondering why? or why not enable both
Well With both enabled there is next to no difference in app launch speed.
And as for why i didnt enable iorap and went for kernel change to reduce overhead: Well iorap always hangs in the background and it could cause battery drain for people with a lot of apps while it does its prefetching, it would also consume cpu cycles and battery in background, Meanwhile disabling kernel tracing actually leads to better cpu perf as it wont be used for some logging that we dont need (Normal logs are still there this was just throwing extra spam) and in turn also better battery life (And also overall better performance in whole os)
Ill probably release a build with this and few other changes soon but i wanted to share a small progress update and a writedown about why performance improved
edit: its worth noting google is ditching iorap in android 13 so this is also a better long term solution and iorap was known to cause overheating issues and app compatibility issues which my kernel edits wont cause

As always big thanks to everyone who supported the project and helped cover the build server cost
