I don't know anything about editing build.prop so sorry about the stupid question but is it possible to take the scrolling system of ubermusic and implementing it into android? And is the hardware acceleration build.prop mod enabled?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] neocorteqz:
I don't see the option in there, but media.stagefright is enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gr33nzpoint:
So GB will get updated? When will the build.prop be ready?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] neocorteqz:
if I update ICBINB (final iirc)with this, will i be able to keep my overclock.

I'm currently @ 1.3 GHz stable with no voltage increase.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
you should be able to keep it, i wouldnt see why not

and if you guys are talking about debug.sf.hw=x i have the value set to 0. if set to 1 your 3d graphics will drop about 16fps
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] amalio357:
So do i flash this with cwm final?(noob)lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
yep :P or push manually
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] martx:
Flashed this over the Audiophile rom and now when I unlock the phone it goes straight to a black screen. Got a little flash happy and please do not take this is a complaint. 90% chance it's my fault and I didn't read a small detail.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] neocorteqz:
Thanks for that info.

Also flashed with no issues at all. Great work all around.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shermer321:
Thats all that I use. I have a Vibrant but the girls phone runs so smooth I am copying over some sections..

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
thanks for this bro.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
I pushed this using Super Manager on Black Ice Stable and it is as you stated. My apps load faster and it is smoother.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] penguin0609:
Just flashed the new performance.zip thanks man
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
i like to flash everything at once; as opposed to having a ton of zip files on my sd card. what i did was open icbinb,zip and replace the build.prop in /system with the most updated version. then i flashed the rom and everything went smoothly. i hope that is ok and i didnt leave anything important out because it seems to work great. lol. for me this will save time and keep me organized because as things are updated, i will know i have the latest version already built in the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
you were correct on doing that :P

it can be flashed, pushed manually, or pushed in the rom then flash the rom :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
So, only the build.prop file needs to be moved? The files in META-INF don't need to be touched, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
pretty sure those files are directional files (or something like that) only needed in cwm and tell what is being replaced, moved, modified, etc. so i dont think you touch those.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
Those are.cwm directions, just push the build.prop or flash via cwm

sent from my sgs4g 2.3.3, finally
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
dsexton702, one quick question about the build.prop. i know that your cwm instructions flash the performance.zip to /system, but i also notice that there is a build.prop in /system/app. do we replace the one in /system/app with the new version as well, or do we only replace the one in /system?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
Just in /system not in system/app lol ill rewrite the .zip

sent from my sgs4g 2.3.3, finally
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
lol. no need to rewrite anything. its works perfectly. just wanted to make sure. im messing with the zip file prior to flashing; adding my favorite boot animation, dialer, etc while trying to learn this stuff so i can hopefully contribute more to the community. im going to delete the build.prop from the /system/app folder...unless it needs to be there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
It doesnt need to be there lol

sent from my sgs4g 2.3.3, finally
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shotchacokov:
Any reason why after pushing this build prop and rebooting that I get a FC on something at first boot? No error message, court a FC vibration, then everything is fine. I thought I saw a couple of posts about it, but can't find them now... Or I'm going crazy again.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
The FC on boot up is caused by the line debug.sf.hw=0

i believe some of you guys have this option turned on to 1 in blade buddy, anyways thats the line thats causing the FC if you make the value 1 you will drop some fps
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
I don't think you actually have this property set in your build.prop.

It would not be a good idea to set it to 0 though, even if you gain few FPS. 1GHz CPU may render few things slightly faster, but rendering with GPU will take the load of the CPU and in many cases the phone will do its things faster.

Not sure what the default is for our phone though. I set mine long time ago as debug.sf.hw=1 just in case and the phone is very fast.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
lmao just so you know the phone defaults it to 0 and there is actually no need to set it to 1 at all
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
You mean no needs to set it to 1 because it is not used by Samsung, or because you think 0 is a better options? I really haven't verified in the source code if this options is used on our phones or not, but if it is used setting it to 1 makes sense.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
you do realize unless apk's and including your launcher is setup to be hw accelerated the only thing that gpu renders is 3d grapics right?

the rest of the rendering is software based
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
I really haven't looked what exactly "debug.sf.hw" does in Google/Samsung source code. Have you? I read someplace on Google that this property tells the OS to use GPU for GUI (!) rendering, which would make sense if it's actually used. If it's not used setting this property will not harm anything. Theoretically GPU can be used for much more than just 3D. Things like line drawing, polygons, filling, bitmap rendering, etc. Practically it depends on implementation and needs to be verified in the source code.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eric-1987:
I think debug.sf.hw is enabling gpu accelerated UI?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
Thats what it does and it is not needed and infact slows the phone down
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
Highly questionable. You have a computer with 2GHz CPU and integrated Intel video, but it's still better to install dedicated video card even if it's running only at 800MHz tops, isn't it? You'll unload the CPU for other things. Same reason here - unload the CPU, especially if it's only single core and have to deal with everything.

In any case I've been running this set to 1 for quite awhile, no complaints. Smooth, routinely hitting Qudrant 2200-2300 with KD1, Bali, 1.2OC if it means anything. But well, it's personal preference, the phone runs either way...

Btw as you really don't have this property set to anything in you built.prop and I kind of steered the discussion from posts #55-56 in this thread, you may look at them again.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
Thats kinda funny since google disabled that in frayo awhile ago do to stability issues it posed on the phone...

on the topic of video card umm appretnly you dont know squat about video cards then

because the video card isnt based on clock speed its based on operations per second fill rate so on and so forth and honestly what does a 800 mhz video card offer nothing really umm 800 mhz on a video card is meaningless since clock speeds on video cards are not even shown as they are not factored the gpu is a grapics processing unit its basally a high speed idiot for cuda video rendinger 3d grapics so on and so forth

also enableing hardware accelerated in the prop may work it may not work it also may cause issues with some applicatons doesnt mean all of them just means some of them

google has it disabled by default for a reason there was issues with it what those issues are i dont know i didnt mess around with it but i am gessing it has something to do with the way touch wiz he launcher adw etc all interact with the phone and possably other applicatons and could steal clock cycles from other appplicatons that need it...

so please before you open your mouth and spout more stuff you pretty much have no clue obviously you showed us that you are clue less please refrain from posting :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
The knowledge you have anton is for COMPUTERS not the android operating system

Setting debug.sf.hw=1 is not needed for the sgs4g, you would know that if you would research android, just because it might help some android phones doesnt mean it will help ours, bc if it did help ours I would set the value to 1
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
10charrrr
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
As far as I know Google disabled it because on old devices older GPUs were creating some problems, there was something issues with synchronization between CPU and GPU, or something like that. Newer devices should be better at that, especially our phone which has one of the best GPUs around. Would be interesting so see what Samsung actually did about this. Maybe nothing though. I'm too lazy to dig into source code to find out. At least when enabled it hasn't caused any troubles.

Btw it may surprise you, but video cards are actually just processors. Specialized and optimized for graphics, but processors nevertheless. They do have clocks, and generally faster they run the faster they can render. I mentioned difference in frequencies only in context of the main CPU could in fact do some things faster than GPU even for graphics, but overall its better to separate CPU and GPU processing.

Anyway, grow up, learn how to spell, and stop acting as a freaking moron. Hm, funny, in your last sentence you said that I didn't have a clue, but just before that you said "i dont know i didnt mess around with it but i am gessing", basically admitting that you have no clue yourself! Precious.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
none of us ever said it would cause problems we just said that setting the value to 0 was better then 1
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
i said i wasnt sure cause i didnt mess with that settitng i didnt say i didnt know what it did but they have a reaosn its disabled and not enabled

i do how ever know alot about how video cards and stuff work

you how ever spout how this is better and how that is better but never black anything up to whiy u feel its better? really if you are such a wealth of knowlage plase by all means give us some of your work to test otherthewise

amy or anton or rev who ever u are at the moment please quit trollng the fourms with your useless babble
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Antonx,

Stop bickering like part four. I respect your opinion, because it is a valid one, but how about you edit whatever you want and start a thread and post it. That way people can try it out for themselves and see if they like it. team acid has rolled out with some great products and they do things their way. For the 43,000 people that have looked at this thread, only a few have legit problems. Its cool to inquire about things, but to act like the devs have no idea what they are doing is another
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
Jeez, I have nothing against any settings whatsoever. dsexton, you mentioned this setting yourself when answering post #55. It just rang a bell and I remembered that I set it sometime ago on my phone, and from whatever I read on Google it did make sense, even for Galaxy S. So I wrote my opinion and asked few questions, that's all. I still haven't heard any reasonable explanations though, something that would refer to a particular source code or technical docs. To me this issue seem quite interesting and asks for some research. If you know something that I don't know, you are welcome to tell. But I'll also ask for proof, sorry :) Or at least some more technical explanation. Can you explain in more details why on our phones this setting is better left at 0? What would be happening, if anything, if it's set to 1? I'm not trying to argue or anything like that, I'd really like to know, and if you have access to some information that I can't access or find, please share!

Anyway, we were just talking when all of a sudden this freak comes in. Hey, raver, did I ever before asked to shut your dirty little yap, or said anything personal at all? No? What gives you frigging right then?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
im a freak now lol thats epic :P

whatever im done with you you spout nonsene like u know everything and everyone else is wrong good by amylovescompooters or rev or who ever u are logged in as really You have yet to contribute one helpfull bit of advice but you spout stuff like you know so much so eather step up and show us all what you know or really quit trolling my friends thread like its job
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] OnE ShoT:
Hey dsexton love the mod but for some reason I can't turn on bluetooth it just hangs :confused: you know anything about that?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
bluetooth should work with or without the build.prop
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] OnE ShoT:
Thats strange I just switched to my original build.prop backup and its working now. Im on Stock KD1 if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] scoop_dtx:
No problems with blue tooth connection but no voice dialing.

Did you restore from your titanium backup bluetooth settings?

If so... That could be your problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Hey raverx3x looks like its time for some more ignore button action.:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Part Four:
Why are you always talking down to everyone, spouting hate and spitting fire? Have some respect towards others.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
I truly wish he does. We'll hear less b/s on the board.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
you mad bra?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
I did some quick digging through source code to see what the modified props are. Found that many mods are not used by our device at all. They just got accumulated over the years form different phones and propagated over the internet. But - it does not hurt lo leave them there, they are just properties and if not read they won't hurt. Here are some findings.

debug.sf.hw is part of the base Google framework. 'sf' stands for 'SurfaceFlinger'. If the property is not set or is zero, some EGL attributes are modified, like EGL_SLOW_CONFIG is set. So, well, at least it's doing something. Can probably trace how these attributes used through EGL to the driver, but it takes too long.

Everything that starts with ro.ril. is only used by HTC ril library (I think libhtc_ril.so.) Samsung ril doesn't use these. Some other things are only used by HTC too, like pm.sleep_mode. Property ro.mot.eri.losalert.delay is for Motorola ril only.

ro.ext4fs is not used, it's neither in Google nor in Samsung code.

persist.sys.use_dithering and persist.sys.purgeable_assets are not used by Google but only by some branched kitchens, such as drakaz branch of gaosp (Galaxy Open Source Project) codebase. Maybe is was used by Google long time ago but is now pulled out.

dalvik.vm.lockprof.threshold ('prof' is for 'profiling') is a not such a hot option to use. It's set by Google only for "userdebug" engineering builds. It enables extra logging in Dalvik vm, so essentially for us it just lets some extra and unnecessary logging code to run.

Proper syntax for dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags seems to be 'dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y'. I haven't traced what the options does though.

The two postprocess. properties are not used by Google and only being set by few custom branches. Only set, there is no reference to these in any code anymore.

debug.fb.rgb565 is not used in any FrameBuffer code. Must be obsolete.

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval is used and is in fact saving some battery by scanning networks less frequently.

ro.telephony.default_network is used by TelephonyManager and tells ril to prefer WCDMA networks if possible.

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec is used by InputDispatcher. Seems like common value is 60, but it's device dependent. Setting it to 300 is a bit too much to me, but it's your phone and your choice.

Oh, there is also a syntax error in the built.prop, line 50, "0 => WCDMA preferred." Is some leftover of a comment got uncommented.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fideli.:
@AntonX: I applaud you for sticking around and providing an interesting discussion about this. It's definitely beyond me but very cool to read about. Keep it coming.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] druhaul:
If you had my low OC settings from ICBINB be aware they might cause the phone to freeze with this new build.prop im looking for new values now

^^^dsexton did you ever figure out the new OC values for the updated build.prop for the ICBINB rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
1000-1150-1075 level 0

800-1050-1050 level 1

400-925-1025 level2

200-825-1000 level 3

100-800-975 level 4
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] druhaul:
thanks man
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
nice! i didnt even know these were posted. i'll test it out to see if it freezes and get back to you guys before you everyone else tries it...dont want a billion people complaining that it doesn't work... ;)

Edit: didnt have freezing at first, but freezes with netflix. :( o well. lol. thanks for the hard work, regardless!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
I was able to get the last two internal voltages another -25 and they were still stable. Not sure if it would make a huge difference but i figured i should post it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
thanks for confirming thatt :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
No problem. Everything else was the same as your settings
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] aestivalisakito:
Here is a modified version for those with the 2.3.4 KG4 update, these are not flashable you will have to push it with root explorer or adb, these are merely changes for the build numbers, and carrier specific in this case.

The first zip is if you are on t-mobile on 2.3.4 KG4, the second is if you are on ATT on 2.3.4 KG4

I take absolutely no credit for either of these as they are still the op's just slightly changed to have the right build numbers if you are on 2.3.4 and carrier.

Before I get asked why i included an ATT version its because the SGS4G is one of the few phones that can use both att and t-mobiles 3g. I am on ATT, and its just ecause i can.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nstod:
Thanks for the input, Anton. Although sometimes people get defensive on here, I think you add some good insight. I'm using your full ext4 init.d tweaks, and they have worked great.

dsexton and Raver, Thanks for all you guys do. Loving the ICBINB ROM with these build prop tweaks along with Anton's ext4 tweaks. You guys have made this phone amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
can i flash this into the KG6 ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] Mr_Pent:
I've been searching on the internet for quite some time, attempting to find a comprehensive guide to rooting my OG Droid (build number FRG83G running 2.2.2)on my Macbook Pro (i know windows is easier). Does anybody know any way I can do this? Preferably something that includes everything I would need to download/install (with links to said things). Thank you everybody in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Mr_Pent:
Bump, this board moves fast
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
You would be better dual booting your mac with windows or using a VM such as parallels for example. I dual boot with win xp and can flash quite happily ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Mr_Pent:
Do you by any chance have a list of steps that I need to follow in order to do that? Im not very familiar with that process.
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
Assuming your using osx 10.6x (as i am) go into utilities and look for bootcamp assistant. You will need a copy of a windows os of your choice, licensed of course!

You will be given the choice to boot windows or os on boot, funnily enough windows xp runs better on a mac (and faster) then it does on a pc ;) haha.

Follow the instructions given on bootcamp and enjoy (this will partition your hard drive so ensure its not full!)

For further reading, google bootcamp osx :)

Have fun.
[General Questions and Answers] Mr_Pent:
I now have windows XP running on my mac via parallels. Do you have any further instructions for rooting my phone? Previously I had tried rooting my phone via SuperOneClick v 1.9.5 through mono on my macbook Pro, but it always ran stopped and said Psneuter exploit failed. I figured trying it again on windows could fix that problem, but I cant figure out how to transfer the file over.

Nevermind, I ended up using a usb flash drive, but the program has the same error still; so once again, do you have any instructions for me to follow detailing another way?

I have unlock my root and flash the 2.3.4 for att it works good but the only problem motoblur dont work the clock on the home page is to the left of the screen not in the center it now show 3g instead of H-+ for 4g is there any way to fix these thanks.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lilsteve83709:
Phone has been working flawlessly the past couple days after I got my media messages working

Today I dragged some music onto my phone (not the SD card) and all my downloaded apps dissappeard. what the f??

Where did they go and WHY did they go? Really annoyed right now :mad:

Running the kingdom rewind rom btw
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
1) Try removing the songs you transfered. You might have it in a directory that they're not suppose to be in and it's messing up the apps.

2) Longshot, but maybe you deleted some app data by accident while transferring?

There's probably something else that you don't know about that is causing this, honestly I'm not sure but just suggesting the above.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lilsteve83709:
already deleted the songs. all my apps were gone before i did this.

one thing i thought of just now. I did use the "low storage" app that came with rewind and didnt try any of my apps after that. moved em all to sd card and cleared cache. i think thats what did it
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgoldner:
Try a complete reboot and see if they're there. I hit this occasionally when I connect my Incredible to the PC. When I disconnect, suddenly a handful of apps are gone. Fast reboot doesn't restore them, but complete power off and restart, or full reboot does.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lilsteve83709:
ill try that. i did just a restart and nothing happened. whats the difference between all the new reboot options? before the new rom I had i think power off, restart, and something else now i have like 5 options
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lilsteve83709:
did that and still nothing. suppppeerrrr pissed
