I added these tweaks to my phone and compared against my second note (stock rooted) and there was no difference at all. I'm convinced these are just placebo tweaks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dkirchik:
Sometimes you have to power sycle the phone a few times before it'll make a difference. The only difference I've seen with it is in browsing and scrolling and quadrant score went up 100 points
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jjc5891:
I've power cycled more than I can count since i've installed, and still no noticeable difference. 100 points on phone that scores 3500+ is only a 3% difference...I bet the accuracy on quandrant is probably around +-10% so that 100 points doesn't mean anything really.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
Are you using any other tweks? Stock rom? Supercharger? It is possible you already have these tweaks or similar cooked in

These are not new tweaks...they have been Successfully used for a while now on various phones over the past 2 years or so
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
MAJOR, MAJOR THANKS!!!

Was ready to throw my note out the window. Having the touchwiz launcher re-draw every single time you leave or switch from an app is like being forced to use an iPhone....it doesn't sound like it sucks until you're actually forced to use it.

They seriously slaughtered the note with the launcher issues--namely redraws, memory issues, and its lack of flexibility. But there are virtually no alternatives. Other launchers are peace meal and either screw up your widgets, are missing features that are an obvious necessity, or are slower than my grandma's bowel on a gram of morphine a day.

I have no idea how a company as large as Samsung can screw up a device so bad (especially one that makes such beautiful devices.

There needs to be some serious work on the software side. I hope that ICS fixes much of the memory problems, so that performance of third party launchers is acceptable (if AT&T or Samsung don't slaughter it too....) without us having to rely on them optimizing their apps, or I can keep the stock launcher drawn without blowing out my RAM.

Onto another note, I haven't noticed much of a difference aside from the launcher mod. Network speed is unaffected, and while the launcher fix is huge, other UI performance might be improved, but not enough to notice in every day use.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keilbaca:
Works like a champ. GO Launcher is a bit more smoother, on SauROM. JPG quality is MUCH better now, you can really see how amazing the screen is now.

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0

pm.sleep_mode=1

At first i couldn't figure out why i would disable.power.collapse to (0)

So i playing with the value (1) in power.collapse and monitored my cpu spy to find out when the phone enter's sleep mode.....sure enough after many hours of testing options 1 and 0......it is a fact the phone enters deep sleep almost instantly with disable.power.collapse with (0) ...entering the value (1) in disable.power.collapse seemed almost prevents my phone to enter sleep mode..

Nice find.... defiantly saves on your battery. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] troyolson92:
Just wanted to add in, while these are great tweaks, super charger already does all this and more. also i had major issues with wifi dripping data but staying connected when i lowered the scan time to 360. 180 also gave me issues. Now i lowered to 60 and have no issues. Not much change in battery either way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BoOsT:
Also supercharger causes some issues. clearing RAM will revert keyboard to stock, If you use Swype and don't delete the other keyboards. Has affect on other applications as well. Just my experience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
I ran supercharger on past phones in the end i always take it out,,lol

Your right it does include all these plus "more"....sometimes "more" is not always good. I had to fully restore my note using supercharger lately..there's alot of known issues with full build prop scripts. Its better just to tweak your own build prop values to whats suitable for you. This way you don't run in to problems like i did..:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] snovvman:
What is the correct permission for build.prop? When I pushed back the modified file, it is showing as rw-rw-rw-. Is this correct? Just want to know if I need to set it to something different. Thanks.

Edit:

I looked at two of my other phones--build.prop is rw-r--r--. This is how I will set it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] snovvman:
All credits goes to the OP, boostnsubaru.

I modified his .txt file by adding the descriptions into it. I have also disabled everything except the power tweaks and keeping the launcher in memory. My plan is to play with each setting separately, so I can better observe the effects.

Even though this makes the file a little larger, the descriptions in the build.prop will help me remember what each setting is, and I can just use Root Explorer to toggle the settings by adding or removing the #.

I am attaching it here in case someone prefers to use it this way...

Edit:

BTW, I plan to test the network buffer settings. At slower data rates, like EDGE/GPRS, an excessively large buffer can actually hurt performance... I'll report back if I get around to testing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
strange but my rooted stock note has those same values for net buffer props? not a change in one number....its in int.rc I cannot change the values using root explorer ? if I open with edit text like normally that part is gone?....but if view it I can see those network speeds...wow...that's the first....anyone see those speeds in int.rc folder?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StarLog:
Would it be possible for someone to post the entire build.prop file as changed, rather then the exerpts.?

Or is that not possible. to use on other notes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BoOsT:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
"pm.sleep_mode=1

0 - Power Collapse Suspend

1 - Power Collapse

2 - Apps Sleep

3 - Slow Clock and Wait for Interrupt (default)

4 - Wait for Interrupt"

Can someone explain the different options here?

ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100 - Makes JPEGs higher quality

ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=8000000 - Increases the memory cap when decoding JPEGs.

ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps=8000000 - Increases the video recording quality.

Here too? How much of an increase can we expect. Values are nice. =D

"Makes JPEGs higher quality" -- does this make them render at a higher quality? Or take photos at a higher quality.

As far as keeping the launcher in memory goes, does this only work on with the stock launcher.

This was single handedly the most effective tweak i've found yet for the note--it improved usability better even than a fat OC >.>

Moving on to the ICS build though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lessthanzach:
I am on ics now and these tweaks have definitely improved my experience. Can't speak for battery life yet but touch screen response is def better.

as well it goes hand in hand with your sleep mode.....trust me

it keeps my adw ex launcher in memory

I saw the OP attached build.prob.txt. And my build.prob under /system doesn't have .txt. Should i renamed it?

Edit: i renamed it overwrite mine then reboot. Phone stuck at Samsung logo. Had to restore system files. I really want to try these mod.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
You cannot just rename the OP file and paste it over your build prop as it's not a complete build prop, it's only the specified tweaks. Open that txt file with a file manager on your phone (like root explorer) and just copy the text in the OP file to the end of YOUR CURRENT build prop. Make sure it looks like the examples shown by members. Then reboot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] riprod:
Once you change the build.prop and after you save it you will have to change the permissions to rw-r--r--. If you don't do this it will be set to rw-rw-rw-. If you don't change them before rebooting you will get the condition you described.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tx Redneck:
I had the very same thing happen to me yesterday, I'm glad you posted up and got an answer. Now I know what to do if I manually edit the build prop again rather than use an app to do it.

Quick question under internet speed tweaks:

Do I also have to change

net.tcp.buffersize.lte=

net.tcp.buffersize.hsdpa=

net.tcp.buffersize.evdo_b=

net.tcp.buffersize.hspa=

from "6144,87380,262144,6144,16384,262144"

to "4096,87380,256960,4096,163 84,256960"

I noticed that almost every net.tcp entry was changed to that and I'm just curious if I should change it too to those entries.

Thanks!

Are you on the Galaxy Note? We dont have Evdo?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keplenk:
Yup, I'm on AT&T Galaxy Note. That was already listed on the build.prop.

However, I ran Zeppelinox v6 supercharger script. I don't know if it was put there by him.

How about the LTE/HSPA/etc entries? Should I change those too?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
Edit...nm..lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BoOsT:
Those had to be put there by him. did you choose build prop when you installed his scripts? I wouldnt change anything with his script. You can just add these to what is already there.

EDIT: I researched it. You installed his 3G Turbocharger Script.

Im new in this. where i can find system/build.prop. i dont know where to find. need help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vbcecil66:
Honestly if you don't know where to find it then you probably need to leave it alone. I'm not knocking on you I'm just telling you for your own good. If you mess up your build.prop you can jack up your phone. So I would suggest doing some reading on here and learning a bit more about it before attempting to mess with it.

I always use ROM Toolbox's text editor, very easy to work with, and saves the file without any problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Christogq:
All I did was copied and pasted each tweak using Rom Editor. Is that the right way or wrong way to do it? I didn't edit anything. I've rebooted twice, but I still see my boot animation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Christogq:
Any input anybody?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Childofthehorn:
Hey , this is nice and all.... but GUESS WHAT!??!!!

You system really only cares and will contune to run the script which are part of the Ramdisk and those in the /System/Etc folder.

Making changes to the Build.prop would only affect applications that are reading actively from the property table. That is not many!

You want real changes, declare this as an .rc , place it in the /system/bin , write it as a oneshot service in the init.rc in class late_start.

Booyah - amazingness! Some ROMS will run init.rc scripts put into the /data/local

Or just put it in the /init folder or in qcom.init.post_boot.sh at the end.

Hint:

The buffer size will read from what is set in the init.xxx.rc or the init.rc from the ramdisk/rootdisk since "radio" and networking services are all part of class Main and class Core, owned by root or radio.

Christogq, this is why that does not work. It is declared in the /system/etc scripts by qualcomm and the init.quincy.rc. You will see your boot animation unless the system thinks it will start faster in which case, it will do so automatically. That is how sleep and quickboot work!

Cheers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
You are correct in one way yes......but also build props does not only control applications...in fact in controls every aspect of every parameter within the phone..from fast dormancy settings..to enabling cap hardware lights on or off....volume wakes....more memory ,dalvik memory,echo changes,kernel changes,.hmm also reads net buffer changes as well?...strange ! ? booya...do you want me to continue?...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Christogq:
Thanks for both responses, but I'm so lost now lol. I'll just give up on trying to do these lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Childofthehorn:
Ehhh not so......

Some of these properties are only read at certain parts of the boot cycle.....

Props which are part of the boot cycle like boot animation are read as part of the class main and late_start which means that /system has not even started yet. So how can it read it?

Android is designed so every start is actually fresh. Minty!

You want anything that has to control a main or core service or class at boot, you need it started in the default.prop or init scripts. Some services like the radio grab once and to have it actively grab from the build.prop after boot has completed, you have to run a pkill on those services, letting them reboot.

BTW the init.device.rc will superceed internally, especially in cases where it looks for a property change and sets a new value or starts and stops a service like adbd.

Not everything gets read from the build.prop! The build.prop is in the /system so realistically it cannot actively control and reset things which have already read from the table.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Christogq:
So basically, what you're telling me, is that none of these tweaks will work for me right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
what exactly are you looking for?....most of these tweaks will work on your device...the other guy is right to a point...it can go both ways.....they will work...but if you reflash another rom...they will get wiped out...but some rons include some so I woukdnt want to placethem anywhere else to avoid conflicts

but what tweaks are you interested in?.and do you know how and where to place them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Christogq:
I'm really only interested in the speeding up the internet part. I'm on T-Mobile with my AT&T Note so I'm not even sure if those setting would make a difference. I added them via Rom Toolbox Pro. I added all of them from the first page. I haven't noticed a single change in anything. I was just using the Boot Animation as a reference to see if anything had changed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Childofthehorn:
No, some will!

Its just that you have to realize that in Android, there is a very cool timing game going on.

Basically, anything in the App-space (JVM) will read from that table. However, what I have found is that when its a property that it cannot act on, the system reverts back to whatever is on the default.prop or .rc's, even some of the post boot scripts in the /system/etc folder.

For instance, if you cannot connect to the telephony.default_network number, it reverts to what is the system default. In AOSP code this is 0.

If not deailing with system services that only grab once or early, this doesn't have good chances of working. Otherwise, if the application is actively reading from the props table post-boot, it likely will!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
Lets say your using ROOT EXPLORER First entering build props through SYSTEM/ you have to make sure the r/w is on.. long press build prop click on open as text editor...If you going this route make sure you enter or copy and paste at the very bottom of list .....or just use you rom toolbox ..reboot and make sure they stuck... ******make a backup first just in case***
