ntsync Kernel Module
NTSync generic kmod magisk module builds for someone that can't use custom kernel for some reasons.
Based on ntsync permission fixup module by rakkashin.
⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING:
DO NOT BLINDLY FLASH ON CUSTOM KERNELS.
Some kernels bypass compatibility checks;
flashing or even manually loading (insmod) the module may cause bootloops,
K-Panics, or worse.
🔍 Compatibility Test (Pre-Flash)
Verify your kernel supports this module before flashing to avoid a bootloop:
- Unzip the module on your phone.
- Open a Terminal (like Termux) and get root:
su
- Navigate to the unzipped folder:
cd /path/to/unzipped_folder
- Load the module manually:
insmod ntsync.ko
✅ If it works:
Run ls /dev/ntsync. If the file exists, you should be safe to flash the module to permanently install ntsync.
❌ If it fails:
If your phone freezes or reboots immediately, your kernel is incompatible. DO NOT FLASH.

Post-Install: Activating NTSync
(Tap to expand)
Once the module is active and /dev/ntsync is visible, you must tell your Windows wrapper to use the kernel driver instead of the standard server-side sync.
1. Check compatibility
Install or use Wine/Proton builds that explicitly mentions NTSYNC support.
2. Add Environment Variables
In your container settings, add at least one of these (WINENTSYNC=1 usually enough) or all three to be safe to force activation:
WINENTSYNC=1
WINE_NTSYNC=1
PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1
Where to set them:
- Winlator: Container Settings ➔ Environment Variables ➔ Add.
- Gamenative: Add to the environment config panel.
Verification: Run su -c lsof /dev/ntsync while a game is running. If you see Wine processes listed, the module is working!
