what do you mean? those are only meant for firmware version .21

those files are just modded versions for each region. so now people outside of u.s. can try it out. also people on custom roms. there's a fifth version also, for AOKP, but that's in jermaines thread.

how has your more precise testing been going?

Also, for others, this mod will not mess up OTA. or at least it shouldn't..lol. nothing that the OTA checks for was modded. also this is why we always make a backup copy for just in case scenarios
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DamBadz:
Sorry guys what is the De.21 ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
for people with De. Region version fw.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaycustom:
So I live in and bought my Prime in the US. I've flashed every ROM possible, and now I'm running the stock ROM that's here on XDA. Luckily I reviewed both build props and noticed mine says WW version. So I went to "about tablet" and it also states ww firmware version. I downloaded and almost installed the US version. The thread of the ROM in running does not state ww, so I had no idea. I don't have any problems, and all my apps work fine.

So, I take it I should install the ww version of this build prop?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ampelift:
Hi guys .

I am running a Gummy Rom - is this the right permission?

Or i have to tick another box.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DamBadz:
Yes it is^^
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ampelift:
I think if i have to set the permission like this( rw r-- r-- ) maybe i have to untick the second (W),am i wrong?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DamBadz:
Oh ma bad sorry my eye is not to good like you say man untick second w box and done
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ampelift:
In any case, thanks a lot for your help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
yes, use the matching build.prop for your version in tablet. if your tablet says ww, use the ww version. if you use another version, it'll likely throw you in a bootloop or something. that stock rom you flashed must've been a ww. version then, from what it sounds like.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
set it just like you wrote it here. only the first line is rw-. the other 2 are r-- r--
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ampelift:
Thanks a lot !!!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
If somebody finds some "better" values in the build.prop or other changes that improve even more the "usability", and they are tested and confirmed, will they be updated, so everybody can download a "newer/modified" build.prop from the thread start? :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andromorphone:
I (maybe foolishly, and after reading the post quoted above) uninstalled (after backing up) flash, ALL my web browsers, *including the stock one * that was included in the. 15 & .21 two version...and now I can't restore via TB (in the case of stock browser), but nor can I either restore OR install anew from the market the ics browser +...it just force closes immediately upon opening....I have changed back and forth from the stock to the modded build.prop, rebooted, cleared caches, fixed permissions... I've even tried to extract the stock browsers apk from a TB backup file trio with 7zip (the file that ends in apk.gz) and reinstall that way (which I may or may not have done correctly.)

I really want both of those browsers back (although either would suffice).

Anyone have any thoughts as to what might be the problem here?

I'm running stock ROM, rooted while on .15, kept root with rootkeeper upon ota upgrade to .21. US version, which I've been running ever since the ota FW update.

Totally baffled. PLEASE HELP...really rather not have to reset or unlock my device at this point.

One final thought...think any of u wonderful folks could send me or post a true .apk file for the stock asus or ics+ browsers...if u think it could work?

Thanks again. Hate the feeling that something like this is borked...so frustrating.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pinky059:
When you say "uninstalled", what exactly do you mean? Deleted the apks manually from the /system/app or data/app and libs or just used TB to uninstall or stock uninstall (through the app on the tablet).

Depending on which it is, I may be able to get you at least the stock ASUS web browser because I don't use ICS+...

Let us know...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
three quick observations,

this introduced an occasional sod when docked

it lowered my quadrant score a little (so what)

opera works better than stock anyway (for guy who uninstalled stock browser)

all in all not enough time in testing (actual use) to revert to original build.prop
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andromorphone:
To clarify my original question, by "uninstalled" I mean I made a backup with TB, then uninstalled both the stock browser and "ics browser +" via TB and have since been unable to restore it (stock browser or "+" via TB, & reinstalling "+" via market completes but app FCs immed every time I open it)

restoration attempts leave TB hanging indefinitely saying that it is restoring the program, but never finishes no matter how long I let it try, and reinstallation from the market for ics browser + installs but force closes immediately after opening and connecting to my google acct.

Like I was saying before, I've tried all the usuals in an attempt to fix (caches, permissions, back and forth between stock and modded build.prop, rebooting between each of these, etc) and can't get either of these programs going again. (but all other browsers reinstall from the mrkt, &/or restore from TB just fine.

There seems to either be an inexorable link between the build.prop & stock based browsers, or the stock browser is just not supposed to ever be removed. Or..?

(US, locked, rooted, .21FW)

Any insights?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jupppo:
I know it has been asked a couple of times. I also checked the thread from the developer, but I still haven't figured out a way to apply this patch without rooting or unlocking.

I want to keep this prime unrooted, because I still hope on sky to deliver an android app and going back was impossible, at least on my old "incredible s".

I cannot push anything via adb, because system is read only. Because it was originally mentioned that you can modify the build.prop without root, I am still hoping someone can point us to a solution.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mekrel:
Someone may correct me but I can't see how this mod can be applied without root, as /system needs to be mounted as read/write for the build.prop to be overwritten.

The only other option would be to symlink the build.prop to somewhere that can written to, but again, I'm sure symlinks can only be applied to directories/files that are writeable.

Also you can root and still use Sky, as I'm sure Sky checks if the kernel is secure and there isn't a SU binary present. You can root and still have the stock secure kernel installed and the SU binary can be hidden with OTA RootKeeper.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
One line...

Hey Guys,

Wondering about this line persist.sys.NV_FPSLIMIT = 60 (UI FPS)

All other lines in the build prop do not contain spaces, this one has one before and one after the = 60. Does this make any difference? I find it strange this line would have spaces when everything else doesn't.

Shouldn't it be formatted like

persist.sys.NV_FPSLIMIT=60 (UI FPS)

instead of

persist.sys.NV_FPSLIMIT = 60 (UI FPS)

Just curious......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andromorphone:
Just noticed that even tho I uninstalled (and cant reinstall or restore) both the stock and ics browser + using TB (and both are still listed as "uninstalled"), the stock browser's apk (com.android.browser.apk) is still located in the

/system/app directory. When I try and run it, the install fails.

This is really bugging me, as I love both of these browsers and now it seems I'll never be able to use either again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jupppo:
Thanks for your reply, that's what I thought. I tried also the symlink idea earlier, but of course it didn't work out. I was only curious because some people claimed it works without root.

Skygo didn't work on my rooted Incredible S, even with OTA rootkeper. so I'd rather wait and hope the poor battery life with .21 gets solved in a newer update.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pinky059:
What are permissions of the APK in the /system/app directory?

Also, you can try opening the apk (not extracting) and checking to see if there is a lib folder inside the apk. If so, make sure that lib file or files are located in the system/lib folder with the correct permissions as well...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vvveith:
I may be wrong but.....

I may be wrong but I believe that when you change your build.prop file you cannot use TB to restore data, I think I recall similar problems with certain Roms for various other devices. Have you tried just restoring the application without using TB to restore apps previous data? Let me know if this helps, I'm no expert with TB but I to have been using it for some time but usually never let it restore data except for certain programs that I know it will play friendly with. Let me know what happens. See you tomorrow. Peace, V :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pbelcomp:
Just something to think about because I don't have enough knowledge to tell you if it will work for you, but could you do a manual install of .15, reroot and save with rootkeeper, then OTA back to .21?

I would think that doing this would put your browser back to its original state.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
There is a whole thread on going down and back up. But can't you just get the apk and install it? Someone should be able to post it for you I would think. Or it is probably available through a google search.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andromorphone:
If someone could post it that would be cool... Although the odd thing is that I can still see the stock browser's apk in /system/app... But I click it from within root explorer, and it won't install from there either.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
At the risk of asking a stupid question..... I'm guessing you didn't do a backup before messing around huh?

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=v=n,o=v

This one is already in the build.prop but the switches are different, I haven't tried it yet and not sure what it will do. Found it floating around in another forum.

dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode = false

This one was included with the one above, again no clue what it would do on the tf201.....

On a side note, switched back to Virtuous rom, been playing with the lower end settings on dalvik, currently using start @14m and growth @84m. Antutu seems to like it a bit better. I will run like this a few days and see what happens.

If you choose to play with these, after you change them, wipe cache and dalvik cache before initial boot. Apps will get reindexed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
you have to remember benchmarks are pointless with this. this wasn't made to increase benchmark scores. benchmark scores don't translate to real life performance. I don't even care what the scores are now. all I know is my device is alot faster overall(scrolling, swiping, things in general) and getting alot better battery life.

as for them other values, I'd leave them as they are. I been noticed that line you said, being different in this one. Ill leave it to the developer to Jake the changes as he already tested these lines and values for the longest times. alot here have trouble even implementing this mod. so i wouldn't recommend those same people go playing with values or switching things around. If you know how to do it, cool. for those who don't, don't mess with it.

at the person I quoted, if you want to experiment, try the improved video quality line that's floating around online. usually in same spot as the JPEG quality increased line. I've been wondering how much that would improve video quality.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
Umm okay demandarin didn't mean to offend.... I'll just view the thread from now on, I was only sharing what I had found, I didn't mean people should actually try it, particularly if they don't know what they are doing. Sorry man.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Its all good ;)

Lmao..not that serious buddy.no need to apologize...your info sharing is useful. just a warning for those who like to jump into things w/out knowing what they really getting into. For ex. People who unlocked that didn't know it voids warranty & stops ota updates. LOL you know we have plenty of people like that.

Theres still a bunch of lines ive seen online that could be useful to prime. whats a tried n proven build.prop editor that can be done on the prime itself? That wont mess up formatting or anything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DeBoX:
ok, quick question. I'm a tad confused, does your unit have to be unlocked for this to work?? ( sry if this has been asked an answered)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
no only rooted
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andromorphone:
No offense to the OP or anyone who contributes and improves the fxn of our primes.... But if I had any idea that TB might be rendered useless upon swapping the build prop , I don't think I would have done it. Is this really the case? Never had TB fail on any other rooted device like this.

But I can always drop back down to 15, reroot, etc.. back to 21.

This is what I get for going half ass and not fully unlocking it so as to be able to nandroid restore. Ha.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chugger93:
demandarin; I wanna try this build prop out. It'll work even on Virtuous Rom right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andromorphone:
Permissions are correct (same as build.prop should be), and there is NO lib folder in the apk under

/system/app (unless it's buried deep within the "Res" folder, which is extensive.) Not knowledgeable enough to know what the ramifications are of a missing lib.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andromorphone:
Of course I backed it up... That's the whole problem... It won't restore, just hangs upon attempt to restore stock browser, and ics+ just FCs upon fresh install from mkt.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chugger93:
demandarin: I was comparing the build.prop here, and mine under virtuous ROM and they are really different. I can't see how it would even work.

I wonder if I can add some lines from your build prop to my virtuous build prop?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
no, you will have to edit it to reflect virtuous ROM info. easiest way, if you know properly how to do it, is add the stonewall modded files to your own build.prop. make a backup copy to be on safe side.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
never heard of tb having issues with this till now. but tb is known to act weird at times anyways. I dint use tb. no report of this by og developer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
My Titanium Backup is just fine. Just checked, and sure enough my nightly scheduled backup completed just fine, app works perfectly. I've been on the modifed prop for a good week or two now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
I am also on Virtuous rom Chugger, I added some, not all of the lines to the bottom of my build.prop, after backing it up and after a Nand backup also. The important thing here is:

1.

Download notepad++

to edit the build.prop on your pc then move it back to the pad. DO NOT USE WINDOWS NOTEPAD!!

2. If you add/change the dalvik settings start/growth/max, boot into recovery after you move the build.prop into the system folder and wipe both cache and dalvik cache.

Note don't do a wipe and factory reset very very un-necessary

When you first reboot it will take a little longer as the cache is then rebuilt.

3. Totally optional, wipe battery stats so you can get a real feel for how the change is working.

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

My appologises Andromorphone, I think we are talking about 2 different things, I am talking about a Nand backup and I think you are talking about a TB backup...

Have you done a search in the question and answer thread? There is a good chance someone else has already done the samething.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chugger93:
Gage; Any important lines I should consider including, like you did? I'm a little familiar with this file from past experiences with other android devices, just not sure what lines I should include in the Virtuous build.prop.

So far I added at the bottom:

persist.sys.NV_FPSLIMIT = 60 (UI FPS)

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=100

persist.tegra.nvmmlite = 1

ro.min.fling_velocity=8000

ro.max.fling_velocity=12000

ro.config.nocheckin=1

video.accelerate.hw=1

then I changed the dalvik stuff as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
I will pm you the lines when I get home, in about 4 or 5 hours. I don't like to try and do it from memory :) What you have nowis fine btw... but there is more.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chugger93:
Sounds good, thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] snapdoodle:
Titanium Backup works fine here also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andromorphone:
I attributed my TB restore issue to the build prop swap because it was only after putting in the modded version that I tried to backup, uninstall, and restore the *stock* browser.

I think we could put all build prop vs TB suspicions to bed if someone with the ability to restore a *nand* backup could try to backup their stock Asus (*ics/.21*) browser via TB, uninstall it, and then attempt to restore it. (Dont attempt this unless u have a custom recovery, lest u end up where I'm at, since I'm only rooted and not unlocked)

I'm thinking its probably not the build.prop swap at all, but rather the possibility that this unit doesn't like its system programs un/re-installed... It could easily just have been the timing that made me suspect the build prop was the culprit.

make sense? Cause my TB functions just fine too, with all 3rd party (non-system) apps...but not with the stock ics browser (and ics +).

Also, if someone could post the stock browser's apk on here so I can try to install it, that'd be tits.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GatorsUF:
I tried adding the build.prop and got boot loop galore. Followed root explorer instructions.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vvveith:
That is what I thought you meant the first time!

I apologize for the misunderstanding. Guess I was a little tired and frustrated, and sometimes I assume that if I know something then everyone else knows it as well. My TB works fine on third party applications, but does not always play well with some upgrades. Happens more on my phones than this Prime but I use them much more because they are very reliable. I know sometimes when moving from one base to another, some internal apps cannot be data restored through TB. Hope you find the problem, I'm waiting for either the developers or the company that actually designed this product to introduce fixes, firmware updates and the like because my hands are tied and it is their responsibility to fix. I'm getting impatient just like all of you and would love to start hacking away at various levels of the firmware, build prop and what have you, but will wait to see if any thing changes here in the very near future before I attempt such measures. Sadly, I did not buy this tablet to spend hours of time on it, just to figure out how to correct various problems, I spend enough time on computers and smartphones for all that. Plus I have to run programs and troubleshoot problems in my occupation so when I use my tablet, I usually just use it for catching up on mail, browsing and videos. I also use it for my music charts. So far the only thing it does fairly well is the mail and charts, go figure. Peace, V :o

Hello,

Just rooted my prime and now things are getting serious.

I want to replace build.prop with this one.

But what version i have to use?

Yes, just use US version, as u seem to have the US ".21" firmware. Use root explorer and follow steps on OP.

***But be sure to make a nandroid backup before changing to this custom build.prop, as some people have had problems on devices that are unlocked &/or run custom roms.***
