Hmm, I use a 64gig microsd card so I might have to try switching to 64kb cluster. Will report back if I find anything astounding.
edit: well just formatted my 64gig card to fat32 64kb cluster size, will see if it makes any difference.
editx2: Copied everything back over and looks like my boot time with noscreeninit and no splash screen with my 64gig SD card formatted to FAT32 64KB cluster size is around 7-8 seconds from pressing power to home screen loaded and ready. Granted I have only filled about 10gigs of it so its not super loaded with files yet, but we are getting there. I'm pretty happy with it overall right now.
Nice clean boot, the power of a9lh with updated sysNand mode, I honestly couldnt ask for anything more from Aurora or the homebrew devs in general, you guys have unlocked this system far beyond what I ever thought possible.
