Hey guys n girls.

See attached zip file for a CWM flashable zip version of MasterSlaves' super build prop Tweaks

The only thing I left out is the disabling boot animation, everything else is as he has described in the OP.

Give thanks to MasterSlave for the original work.

MasterSlaves-SuperBuildProp-Tweaks_CWR-Zip-by-Jarmezrocks.zip

EDIT: I haven't tested this zip because I have my own build.prop tweaks, but I will test it....just do a Nandroid backup before hand and or make a copy of your build.prop somewhere on your SD card or copy it to PC so you can push it back to your phone with ADB.

Cheers

James

can anyone confirm these work on ICS ROMs? I want to flash this.
[Vibrant Android Development] jrongi1:
It's not really a flash mod but a line edit of the right file.

[Vibrant Android Development] Decepticaons:
That's true, but someone above made it into a flashable zip. Anyone know if it works on ICS?
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
If it's just a build prop that is being flashed then probably no. You will most likely have to edit an ics build prop.

Backing up just the build.prop is good enough too.
[Vibrant Android Development] jspdjanggo:
youll never know

since safestrap is around and we can never get enough of our gadget,. its a good start to tweak build.prop right ? haha

cm10.1 solana nightly which im going to mod is build on 2014,. now this thread is on 2011,.

and of course i've done few line mods using the original buil.prop and using Venomous Viper 119 and TopDroid v1.4 files to flashed it to my xt862,. thing were a mess at first especially the gsm radio,. took out few lines and put # in few lines that concern to gsm radio and it went well,. but i kinda felt its not enough responding when opening apps and the trebuchet, ui or more popups are still happening to the phone,.

i'll give this one also a try maybe i get what i need and not what i want ,.

how i do the tweak is by using the cm10.1 build prop, edit, zip it, flashed it via safestrap,.

Sorry for quoting such a large post.

Anyway the question I had is: Wouldn't ro.media.capture.maxres=z, ro.media.panorama.defres=x and ro.media.panaroma.frameres=y values change with respect to device?

Also is there a way to wake my phone on plugging in earphone?

it may be possible i had 12% battery put my charge in rebooted after i saved it and jumped to 51%
[Vibrant Android Development] d_phekt:
This is awesome! I have been data throttled since Wednesday, so figured I wouldn't see any difference yet when applying this. I applied it anyways being the addict that I am... now it is almost like I am not throttled at all. Nice!

Edit: After playing around with it for awhile I noticed that not everything seems unthrottled, but there is definitely a noticeable difference.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master&Slave™:
No because not all build.props are the same. and if i upload it and let you guys push it, what happens if something goes wrong and ur phone wont boot correctly?...u would be here asking me and others to upload a default build.prop for u

Pushing doesnt create a back up, id rather u do it manually, get the back up created so even if something goes horribly wrong, u can adb pull the build.prop.bak file rename it, then push it.

Thanks homie g!
[Vibrant Android Development] Master&Slave™:
I highly doubt this is whats draining your battery, did u check the about phone battery drain?
[Vibrant Android Development] Poser:
for the merit of scientific inquiry, those who try should not only post results.. but config

i.e.

Location = Tampa, Fl

hsxpa = 2

gprs = 10

I think this would be interesting and helpful
[Vibrant Android Development] doubleohseven:
Don't know what else it could be... Yes sir I did, at 1h 30m Cell Standby was taking up 50% of battery. I changed my ro.ril.hsxpa=3 down to 2, and ro.ril.gprsclass=12 back down to 10, and it SEEMS to be back to normal, ill keep you posted. With those changes and another reboot, at 2h 40m Cell Standby is down to 29%.
[Vibrant Android Development] Master&Slave™:
sorry to hear your having touble.

[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
That battery situation from doubleohseven picked my attention so I'll keep an eye on it. Anyways I've to go back to Bionix 1.3.1 but the tweaks did work. I have a bit more signal using 3G inside my house because now I've 3G where I hadn't before. It's still not enough signal (damn walls) so I'll keep using the EDGE-only solution for my signal needs. Thanks given OP, great find.
[Vibrant Android Development] djjeesh:
all i can say is .. maybe works

around 5mb down/ 1.2 up

Location = Minneapolis, MN (South Suburbs)

hsxpa = 3

gprs = 12
[Vibrant Android Development] Longcat14:
That's weird, because I had the EXACT opposite experience.

After setting ro.ril.hsxpa=2 and ro.ril.gprsclass=12, I went from 10% an hour to 3 1/2% an hour drain.

So I've actually had much better battery life with this tweak. O_O
[Vibrant Android Development] jdm4u:
tried this tweak last night. Noticed significant changes in speed! Before i would average 2.5mbps download speeds. With the tweak i'm getting 4mbps download speeds averagely. Haven't had it long enough to notice any difference in battery though.
[Vibrant Android Development] doubleohseven:
Haha no, I CHANGED my hsxpa setting from 3 to 2, and it seems to have fixed it, consistent with your testing. Have not had enough time to test it out, I will be back here if the drain is still here today.

[Vibrant Android Development] adampdx:
I'm on CM7 Nightly 42, Glitch kernel, KB5 modem, settings at 3 and 12 and I have maybe noticed a change. Original settings were 1 and 10 and I maxed out with about 2040~ kbps. With new settings I maxed out at 3200~ kbps. I've noticed better "signal" strength in my basement apartment, but much more switching between 3G/H where before it would just stay on E. Battery usage seems a little higher, if anything. I'm not convinced this change has an appreciable difference. I did run through a few combinations but found no real difference between them.

What do these changes do, exactly? My feeling is that the phone is simply displaying a 3G/H connection when I'm only still getting edge speeds. BTW, is there anyway to turn off the "H" in CM7? This doesn't mean anything to me and sometimes it's kind of annoying.
[Vibrant Android Development] jay661972:
how did you guys change this. followed the op but it wont save. use efile editor and the pc as well, cant save.
[Vibrant Android Development] adampdx:
I found a nice combo with the File Expert app and the EStrongs text editor.

Check here: How To Edit Root Files On Android The Free Way

The article suggests using Jota Text editor, but that wouldn't save for some reason. So I installed EStrongs. When you long-press the build.prop file, go to "Open With" and choose the ES Note Editor. Voila!
[Vibrant Android Development] bdubs4200:

Using root exploere after making changes hit the soft key menu button and u will have the option to save
[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
I make too many typo's on the phone so I:

1. using root explorer copied buil.prop to /sdcard

2. mounted /sdcard to computer

3. using Textpad (maintains unix text format) copy and pasted lines from OP

4, unmounted /sdcard

5. using root explorer, system as r/w, renamed build.prop to build.prop.orig

6, using root explorer copied buil.prop from /sdcard to /system

7. reboot

changed settings multiple times after that by just using root explorer as a text editor. Eventually renamed build.prop.orig back to build.prop as these changes didn't help me.
[Vibrant Android Development] lol Qaeda:
Fail... the correct spelling is prop, not prob. C'mon.

Going to give this a spin with my Vibrant. I'm on AT&T (and currently running KB1) so I'm not sure if it'll make a difference but I'd sure love to be able to get off EDGE speeds.

Lowering the density makes things bigger on the screen and visa versa.

[Vibrant Android Development] Blkegk:
I tried every combo and the best one that works for me is the 3-10 combo.

The only issue I have is after the reboot. The speed is 5mb down and 1.2mb up. Then the retest it drops right back to 56k speeds and stays there. Im a bit bummed but oh well.....
[Vibrant Android Development] bdubs4200:
Same here, my nook color is at 175 and it looks really good... I try 240 like some say is "the best" but it never boots lol so I dropped it instead and it looks tighter n brighter. Idk if my voodoo color tweaks would like this...

[Vibrant Android Development] skeet34:
I tried all 6 possible settings and ran 3 speed tests for each to and determine which setting was most effective. So, after about an hour and a dozen reboots I came to the conclusion that no setting was better than the default build without this string. However, I did find that setting gprsclass=12 cut my d/l speeds in half with all values of hsxpa (all settings returned consistent results). With gprsclass=10, I found that hsxpa=1 and 2, were also consistent with one another, and when set to 3 was only about half.

I am running Cognition 4.5.3 on my Captivate w/ KB1 modem, and with default settings my d/l speeds avg. about 2.3mbps. grpsclass=10 and hsxpa=1,2 speeds also avg. 2.3mbps. gprsclass=10 and hsxpa=3 as well as gprsclass=12 and hsxpa=1,2,3 all avg about 1.1mbps. I should also note that upload speed and ping did not differ much between all tests. All upload speeds avg. about 320kbps and ping avg. is about 500ms. I was really hoping that I would get a solid 3.0mbps+ down and 600kbps+ up as well as cutting my ping in half, but I was not so lucky. This seems to have really made a difference for some people tho, so I would say if you want to try to boost your speeds you have nothing to loose by trying this. I think this is a worth while tweak and I just wanted to give my input on how things worked out for me. Thx for the post.
[Vibrant Android Development] SK328CI:
ah, tried all 6 different combinations, didnt seem to make any difference for me. good post though, seemed to work for some.
[Vibrant Android Development] keospeedwagon:
you mean 9? ror
[Vibrant Android Development] skeet34:
How exactly do you figure that because by my calculations there are only the 6 possibilities. Have gprsclass=10, and hsxpa=1, 2, or 3 and gprsclass=12, with hsxpa=1, 2, or 3. Thats 6 any way you slice it my friend.

For those in the Chicagoland area wanting to know what is best, I got the best on 1 and 12. Max download was 3.5 with a max upload of 1.8 and that was coming from the non edited build with 1.2 down and 586kbps up. The worst was 2 and 10. I was testing this from the 15th floor of the James so there are tons of buildings around.

3, Right click (By holding at the file) and there is menu pop out.

4, Scroll down and select edit in Text Editor.

5, Type in those few line of words below into the last line of the text then save.

6. Reboot twice

[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
Well... I can't see a significant difference, but it hasn't *hurt* and *possibly* made a difference. I don't have a large enough dataset at my current location to tell.

Here's a cleaned up spreadsheet of my speedtest.net history (wifi locations removed, coded by area, connection type, etc)... As you can see the 3G tests for today are some of the best I've had for my location, but not spectacular. I of course can't retest in the Houston market until my next trip, and since I'm stuck with Beaumont 3G most of the time that's what matters.

FWIW, I got better speeds than this on Sprint EVDO back in 2008/2009.

Network: AT&T

Location: Tampa Bay Area, FL

Modem: KB5

Speedtest Server: Tampa, FL

Had WCDMA forced from the start (specifically the 1900 band) so I'm not sure how that'd affect my results, if at all.

Long story short... same or worse, just like a few other folks here. Double checked my build.prop file; edited every character correctly. Rebooted twice after every change/before each test. Results below:

*Note 1: hsxpa = H, gprsclass = G | results listed download, upload, ping (DL/UL in kbps, ping in ms)

**Note 2: One or two of the testings have a few extra tests... I inserted them separately and put a space before them. No real reason they're there; just felt like randomly giving a few extra tries at the times.

Will try the new suggested tweaks later; tired now.

[Vibrant Android Development] lol Qaeda:
Not experienced with Android coding or cellular/network aspects of it but from what I read typing every line in on my phone (line after line after line... should've just used a text editor first) there was nothing T-Mo specific there - in fact, I'd wager similar changes could be made on the Captivate to tweak it. Most of the changes look like you're enabling certain switches that might not already be on (and then flipping between specific "flavors," so to speak) , but that's just my take.

You know, I STILL can't figure out whether I should stick with KB1 or KB5. One of these days I'm going to have to do a comprehensive test.

Also, not sure if I mentioned it before or not but I was having an issue where I'd get HSPDA speeds for a while and then get bumped down to EDGE most of the time. Finally took the time to use that *#*# code and set my connectivity to 1900 WCDMA only yesterday; worked quite well! Unfortunately it went away after rebooting or doing those signal tweaks... but when sorting through the Android menu settings (Wireless or whatnot) I saw the "WCDMA only" option and selected it... instant HSPDA and no intricate dialer code needed! (Still went and enabled it all to be on the safe side.)

There were also a few results I left out in my post - one of the setups defaulted my server to Pensacola and I got much better results there - like ping in the 1xx, DL of 5xxx, etc. Thought I'd found the goldmine until I realized it was Pensacola and not Tampa. x_x
