I have taken and expanded on this thread.

I added the following.

Allows the phone to sleep better

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1

Saves power when phone is sleep

pm.sleep_mode=1

Allows your wifi to scan less, saving more battery

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180

Helps Scrolling Responsiveness

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=180

Raises quality of JPEG images

ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=90

Change the Dalvik VM heap size

I tried adding the market fixes from this thread but it doesn't seem to work on stock.

To install

rename your current build.prop in /system/ to build.prop.bak and copy this build.prop to /system/ and reboot.

Make sure the file permissions are rw-r--r-- or chmod 644

I recommend using root explorer. Below is the file permissions diagram if you use root explorer to change them.

XX0

X00

X00

All installers include a backup script as of 1-23-2012

If you have an error with the installer. Unplug your kindle wait a couple seconds and plug it back in. Make sure to eject and the sdcard from the computer and click disconnect on the kindle.

Download the automated Mac installer for stock here. | Download the build.prop for stock here.

Download the automated Mac installer for Paul's Modaco stock here.

Download the automated Mac installer for CM7 here. removed for now| Download a build.prop for kindle fire CM7 here.

If you have any suggestions please share them with me so I can add them.

If you wanna buy me a drink for my time go Here.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TheMagicPancake:
I'm assuming this is for stock KF firmware?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Correct this tweak is for the stock firmware.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] italysfinest327:
Will this allow the market to show more apps, right now with stock build prop a lot of apps are not available
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Nope. This does nothing for the Market. I don't think anyone has been successful in getting the market hacks to work yet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tduermeier:
Permissions?

Are you sure about those permissions? Everything I'm reading is suggesting it should be :

rw-r--r--

Or

XX0

[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
I'm pretty sure. 777 is what mine was pre-editing. I am running the build.prop I have available above and it is working fine for me. I think you may be referring to the default.prop which has the permissions you listed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Matt V:
Is this compatible with CM7?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tduermeier:
Okay, I may have been mistaken. I checked the permissions of my build.prop.bak and they were listed as I posted above so I figured it should be the same. Would permissions change from renaming a file?

Also, I haven't touched default.prop.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
I have had problems with permissions changing when moving them to the computer but not sure I'd just renaming them would do it. Are you able to check your active build.prop?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
I don't think you should use this with CM. If you want to post a link where I could download a copy of yours I will add the edits and make one for CM. Although I am sure some are already there.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tduermeier:
Unfortunately I already replaced my build.prop with the one you posted. I have my permissions currently set to the same values as my .bak and have since rebooted with no issues. Should I be experiencing issues if my permissions are incorrect? Also, searching other forums (for other devices) and looking at the build.prop on my phone (Samsung vibrant) the permissions are rw-r--r--.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Matt V:
For anyone wanting to try this on CM7, don't do it because it doesn't work. In fact it turned the display 90* but still left the touch functions in the area they should be in, took me forever with playing with the buttons and a display that didn't match to get it fixed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Matt V:
Here's the CM7 build prop. Let me know what you can do with it and I'll give feedback.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] damianarnold:
That'll be the ro.sf.hwrotation=270 setting.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] neilrl79:
You are correct, rw-r--r-- are the proper permissions for build.prop
[Kindle Fire Android Development] EABonney:
Has anyone tried incorporating any of the Amazon build.prop stuff into ones for CM7 to see if they could get the Kindle reader application to allow you to read magazines and other documents that you have set up in the documents of the reader software? I have a few magazines that I do like to read on my Fire and would hate to give them up by switching ROMs but if that was the ONLY thing I lost I would live. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] G1ForFun:
Thanks working great here on stock kindle rom rooted. Seems a bit snappier after implementing said tweaks. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Thanks for the feedback I am going to test and change the post.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Weird, I am looking at the permissions on the build.prop listed above from CM7 and the permissions are 755.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Matt V:
Not sure what that means to be honest, but I wonder if there's a way to combine this with a modified CM7 build (if you make one) and the build.prop used to gain market access. Here is that one, downloaded from this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1423184
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
I just finished it. Are you able to test? Do you know how to replace this one with a backup if things go wrong from recovery?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Ok, Here is a copy for TESTING. In this version I combined all the edits I made in to the stock CM7 and added the market hacks from the version you posted. I don't have CM7 to test so you will be the first. Please don't test unless you know how to put back your original build.prop from recovery using adb if something goes wrong.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] FoibleOfHumanity:
Wouldn't it be better to just change this to 100?

The heap size is already set to 64m in the build.prop from link provided. Would lowering it bring any benefit?

I've also seen this value set to 0. Would keeping this at 0 or changing it to 1 be better?

I've also been adding changes to my own build.prop. If it works well I'll upload it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
Oh wow, it is noticeably faster!! Thanks for this!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
The images would be a little better but I think I it would hit the cpu a little more and take more space. I thought it was a nice compromise.

From what I understand lowering it is better. I set the one from the first post to 48. From my reading the heap size is how much ram an app can use before android starts cleaning house on it. I didn't change the heap from the CM7 version. Is that the one you are using?

I have seen this set both ways as well. I can't tell you for sure which is better. I have read more articles about ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1 saving battery so I went with that.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] neilrl79:
I think permissions change when you move a file from one place to another, but i know that build.prop is rw-r--r--
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Thanks for the conformation on build.prop being rw-r--r--
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Matt V:
Thanks for the upload! I'll test it out tonight when I get home.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aktiv8d:
As long as we're in build.prop, you can use this:

To disable the USB Debugging notification icon

persist.adb.notify=0

BTW, can someone help me understand why build.prop always says:

# ro.build.product is obsolete; use ro.product.device

But yet, all the ROM's I see still use

ro.build.product

?

I did manually insert the all of the strings from the OP into build.prop when using the newest pre-alpha ICS (1229E) and it is working nicely. The only drawback seems to be that, although accuracy is improved, the screen lags more. That is, sometimes I have to hit the same icon a couple times to load the app from Trebuchet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
If you change

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=180

back to 150 it should help a little.

What phone are you using?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Matt V:
Has anyone tested the CM7 version yet? I won't be able to try it for a few hours.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
I think FoibleOfHumanity did. Try it and let me know. If it works ok I will change the Dalvik VM heap size to 48m and post the link on the front page.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aktiv8d:
Me? Motorola Electrify, but the post was intended for our Kindle Fire.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
So you are running the pre alpha ICS? Does everything work yet? Have you tried installing the amazon video app?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] aktiv8d:
Yes, the pre-alpha. Audio/video still need bugs worked out, so I hadn't tried the app.

I increased the Dalvik VM Heapsize back to default 128M just in case.

Deleted the windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec line as well and all seems well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Matt V:
Just tested the modified CM7 build.prop and it runs fine! Haven't really played with it yet but everything seems to be in working order. Can you tell me what you changed on this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Same as the kindle stock with the exception of the dalvik cache. It is still at 64m.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Matt V:
Can you explain what that means? Would a lower number be better?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
I did back a couple posts.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fulvi3tto:
what is this tweak going to do to the Kindle Fire?

What are the benefits?

Thank You
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Things should run a bit smother and faster. Also a little battery life improvement.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zonbal33:
can someone upload the cm7 build.prop that was edited correctly? how do i flash it over the original? if i do a backup with TWRP, I can always go back to the old build.prop right?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
What's wrong with the CM7 that's there? All the info for installation is in the first post. Where are you having a problem?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Matt V:
Yeah the CM7 build.prop is working just fine for me! In fact I'm the one who asked for it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Did the market hacks work?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Matt V:
They sure did, everything works great.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Awesome. I am still on stock and I can't seem to get it working. Any issues with CM7?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Matt V:
Nope no issues with my CM7 at all.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chipg07:
Here is my quadrant after installing this build.prop edit on cm7
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Matt V:
That's very similar to my scores, I'm averaging in the 3000 area.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chipg07:
Yeah...I'm plenty happy with the speed and performance... scores better than my droid x2
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Did your scores improve with the new build.prop?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chipg07:
Yes.... went from 2800 to 3000
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
Have you tweaked anything else? I'm seeing around 2100. :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JoshuaLintag:
Wait, where can I find that cm7 build.prop?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Haven't changed anything else.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
The link is at the bottom of the first post.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] GT5830:
On Stock ROM, mine have about 2000 scores
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Seems like most people are getting a little boost from this then.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] beuh_dave:
running stock rom.. went from a score of 1565 to 1718

nevermind the scores... it really does feel snappier and the animation seems smoother.. damn.. i am impressed!! thank you OP!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chairshot215:
Increased Performance

WOW, I just set this build.prop along with selecting Noop & Hotplug with No-frills; correct me if I’m wrong, please, but from what I can understand Hotplug seems to behave like Interactive but for Multiple Core Processors. Anyway, I had previously averaged about a 1400 - 1500 Quadrant score and now I’m pulling in 2100 - 2200. Much thanks for the file, made a very obvious increase in overall performance. Should also probably mention that I also set the Advanced System Tweaks for noatime partitions and memory management in Auto-killer, left the others alone as they seem to be very similar to what this build.prop does, thanks again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SyntekSystems:
bump will this work with the new OTA?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Buffet_of_Lies:
Yes. It seems it does.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
It should work fine on any stock rom.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
I added automated installers for Mac Users to the front page.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrBrady:
Just installed the CM7 version on my CM7 KF.

How do I know the install is complete? The details of the installer says:

remount succeeded

284 KB/s (2358 bytes in 0.008s)

The biggest issue I'm having is it has locked my KF into landscape mode. The boot animation is landscape and so is my CM7 unlock screen. The problem is, I can't unlock the device for some reason. It's not responding in landscape mode.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chairshot215:
Running the cm7 version as the stock versions worked out well. I keep my launcher locked in landscape so can not verify the above post but can verify boot animation has not. Installed old school with Root Explorer, not a fan of using installers as I like knowing what is happening every step of the way. Otherwise I notice that VM heap is now 48 and the desktop icons look a bit clearer. Besides the market tricks that work wounders does the cm7 version contain most of if not all the same tweaks found on the stock version listed on the first page?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
That stinks, I have my kindle locked at 180, so my unlock screen and a lot of the initial app screens are upside down but I'm not constantly hitting the power button anymore.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Did you run the cm 7 on a stock ROM? I'm removing the cm installer till tonight when I can investigate.

Can someone post their default build.prop from the current CNET?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrBrady:
If anyone gets stuck in landscape mode and wants to revert, extract the build.prop file from the CM7 install zip. Make sure you have ADB setup. Execute the following:

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

exit

exit

adb push build.prop system

adb shell

su

cd system

chmod 644 build.prop

reboot
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chairshot215:
As I said above using cm7 version as of this morning and am not stuck in landscape but prefer landscape and would be interested in knowing how to get the cm7 boot animation in landscape mode.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
I'm fixing this I just won't have it done till tomorrow.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
I figured out the problem and will update the installers tomorrow. I will also post a tool to back up your current build.prop if something goes wrong.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Both installers should be fixed and include a backup tool to copy your current build.prop to your desktop. Sorry for the mess up. Let me know if there are any problems.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bigboij:
Noticed a problem with wifi while using this Build.prop where it loses connection. The the status bar shows no wifi icon. In settings wifi is on, but no connections are found. The only way to reset wifi is to reboot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
The wifi scan is set to 180 seconds. I am sure thats why it doesn't show. I will take it down a little to see if things improve. In the meantime it should show up you will just have to wait a little longer.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chairshot215:
No issues with wifi hear, do have a question though. I am running cm7 and using adw and not Go. Have been thinking of trying this with the original VM heap size of 64mb just to check the different, can I just use Root Explorer to open the build.prop in a text editor and change the value to 64, save, then reboot?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Yeah you shouldn't have any problem. If you have a mac download one of the installers and use the back up script in case something goes wrong.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fulvi3tto:
is the build.prop available for ICS too?

A friend of mine doesn't see the most common apps in the market such as ebay and facebook and i was wonder if build.prop can help.

thank you
[Kindle Fire Android Development] northmendo:
Post me a link to the stock ICS build.prop and I will take a look at it. Don't use the current downloads on ICS.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike102871:
Wifes defy is on stock froyo that I rooted with one click a few monthes ago. Has a custom recovery installed. Few questions.

1. If I try to boot into recovery, with volume down and power, it goes to stock recovery. I can boot into custom from the app. 2. I want to flash a basic gb rom on it, but afraid of problems since I can't boot into custom recovery to restore if needed. 3. How can I get past the stock recovery. My G2 is so much easier and I tired of searching with no conclusive answers.

Thanks

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Percz:
I'm assuming power on with volume down doesn't do anything?

Turn off the Defy, remove the battery from the back. Then, if you volume up and power, can you get the Bootloader?

If you get that far then goto

and follow the "how to flash SBF-file" should get you on the right track. You can use the wiki and forums to find the right SBF, depending on if you want stock or custom ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robinta:
okay ... after a minor app download problem which spiralled into not being able to use the market (my fault !). I needed to run an nandroid restore but my md5 checksums were out. So as a last resort I ended up reflashing redux 1.2 to my Desire.

I flashed the associated apps2sd script which is optional for this rom and proceeded to reinstall my apps from Titanium.

After reinstalling (and ive tried this twice now with the same result) I`ve gone from c.65mb of internal storage to c.35mb..

As I stated I tried a 2nd time. Wiped the dalvik and data caches in recovery but to no avail.

The sd card is partioned if that is relevant

Ta in advance

[HTC Sensation] SensationUK:
Hi all,

I followed the instructions on this thread --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1408961 and now have ICS running on my HTC Sensation which is excellent :D however I have a question and it won't let me post on that thread because I'm too new.

My Sensation was a TMobile provided handset that was TMobile branded. I turned S-OFF and changed the CID to the super CID, then I installed the leaked RUU as in the thread above.

I didn't follow any instructions to root my handset.

But today when I ran an app that tests to see if you're handset is rooted out of curiosity it said it was? I then ran Titanium Backup which also states my handset is rooted.

Has applying the RUU to my handset also rooted my handset??
[HTC Sensation] jasminthoria:
Ruu will install stok Rom. But you flash ics Rom from the tv team that one is custom Rom all custom Roms are already rooted.
[HTC Sensation] SensationUK:
I installed the RUU which appeared to be done via an HTC package manager.

I was under the impression that was a stock ROM packaged with other stock items?

If that's correct I don't understand how my handset is now rooted. This was the original, not a repackaged or altered ROM as far as I know.
[HTC Sensation] jasminthoria:
Can you post some details what you see when you go to setting software information.
[HTC Sensation] darkjuan:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but once you turn S-OFF, then you're rooted. You can install a different ROM if you want but you can have a Stock Sensation but still have S-OFF and be rooted.
[HTC Sensation] jasminthoria:
Yes you can root ur stok Rom after s off and can keep using it if you don't want to flash custom Rom. So you can have rooted stock rom

[HTC Sensation] darkjuan:
It's not the ROM's that are rooted, it's the Phones.

The OP was asking how his phone got rooted after installing the ROM, but he already rooted his phone when he turned S-OFF. He technically didn't need to do anything else to be rooted. :)
[HTC Sensation] SensationUK:
It's starting to make sense now. S-OFF = ROOT! :D

I was confused because I followed instructions here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 to S-OFF my handset. But further down the page it says how to make it root even when turning the handset off, but I didn't follow that part of the exercise and I've turned my handset off several times since doing the S-OFF procedure and I still have root?
[HTC Sensation] jasminthoria:
As your android version 4 that means its ics its custom Rom stock ics is not out yet. So ur already rooted and using custom Rom mate.
[HTC Sensation] SensationUK:
I thought the RRU file was a leaked official ROM from HTC and not a custom ROM?

I appreciate there are custom ROMs made from the leaked official ROM, but from my understanding the file I downloaded and used - from the thread linked in my first post - was an official HTC alpha and unmodified??
[HTC Sensation] darkjuan:
Yup, If you followed Steps 1-3 then you have permanent S-OFF. To verify, reboot your phone into the Bootloader (hold volume down while turning power on) and at the top you should see S-OFF, if you do then you're golden! :D
[HTC Sensation] SensationUK:
I only did step 1.

I ran Revolutionary and let that complete but when it asked if I should download and install Clockwork recovery I said 'no'. I then skipped the clockwork recovery part underneath and just changed the CID to 11111111.

So I actually skipped part 2 and 3 which is why it's making me wonder how I got permanent root without those two steps. I didn't install any files, didn't drop any files on the SD, I just used revolutionary and just changed the CID, nothing more. Then I added the leaked ROM.
[HTC Sensation] darkjuan:
Now I understand... and am baffled! :eek:
