Change log:

v4 (8/25) -

- modified net settings for faster speeds

- enabled swap and swap management

- added extra sysctl tweaks

- included tbp_fix code

- more

tbp_fix.zip

Run this after flashing turbo prop (no need to run for v4+), if your minfree settings are being overwritten. See this post.

v3 (6/19) -

- modified max events to 200

- added init.d script for more tweaks (your rom/kernel must support init.d)

v2 (6/2) -

- added 4g network tweaks

- modified "windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec" to 150 (try to save some battery life)

this change might reduce performance a little, if you want you can modify the value back to 240

v1 (6/1) -

- initial

Awesome!
[HTC Rezound] 1stCentauri:
Any Sense version limitations or firmware specifications with this? Or is this a universal flashable for any ROM or firmware? I ask because I am anxious to try it out. Sounds really useful.
[HTC Rezound] Bustacoal:
Looks fun I will play =)
[HTC Rezound] Superm@π:
There a way to undo just in case?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Should be already installed on your phone if you have a ROM from here. Otherwise search for "busybox" in the play sore.

[HTC Rezound] 1stCentauri:
Play store, lookup "busybox". Correct me if I'm wrong, lol.

Edit: faster on the draw it seems. Disregard..

No it's not specific to any ROM or firmware. Should work on any Android.

Nice. Giving this a run shortly. Thanks for sharing this with us!
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Yes, the original post explains that there is a backup of the original build.prop made. If you need specific instructions on how to get this done, let me know... i'm ready to go to sleep right now though, lol.
[HTC Rezound] NAU420:
Yes please post a write on how to get back to original build. Thanks and nice work!!!
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
all you do is use build.prop.old in the end. remove build.prop and remove the ".old", recheck permissions then reboot

Thank you for this, notice an improvement while web browsing( ICS smooth) as well as UI smoothness on cleanrom gbe 1.7.5.

Hoping it isn't a placebo effect. Probably has some good tweaks though.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
I'll be the one to ask. What exactly will this do?
[HTC Rezound] briankariu:
Will this work in GSM...am a bit wary right now to flash something coz i just finished setting up the phone just the way i like it!
[HTC Rezound] con247:
It should. If not, you can undo the changes. All it does is modify the build.prop and it saves a backup before it does anything.

I'm flashing this via amon ra recovery and when I go onto system folder, there is no old build prop file so I assume it didn't work?

[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
For RC3 rom, to run the init.d script "post boot"...

from adb:

adb shell cp /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh.old

adb shell echo "" >> /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh
adb shell echo "sh /system/etc/init.d/77dzturbo" >> /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh

adb reboot

to verify that the script has run post boot and the parameters are not overwritten run the below command:

adb shell cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

output should look like this "2048,3072,6144,15360,19200,28160"

EDIT: file was misspelled in 3rd line of code section one, should be "77dzturbo" not "77durbo"
[HTC Rezound] bkrickles:
just to be clear

are you saying I have to do this with newt's rls 3?

I thought all I had to do was flash the turbo prop.

Doing commands like this might be a little above my pay grade.

I'm pretty much a noob, even though I've been flashing roms for a couple of years now.

thanks
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Yeah, that is the rom i'm using, and I figured out that some of the values in the init.d script (not the build.prop) were getting overwritten. I'm not sure this is the case for every rom. But the "post_boot" script in newt's rls3 is overwriting my values.

Either way, if you do/don't edit the "post_boot" script you will still get the build.prop tweaks, and some of the init.d tweaks that are not overwritten by the "post_boot" script. (So basically you don't HAVE to edit it.)
[HTC Rezound] maxearing:
i just flashed it and my antutu clocks a little bit higher. i have to see how the battery life is now.
[HTC Rezound] k2trill:
Would you please post instructions to do this via terminal (on the phone)?? Thanx in advance.

try mounting the system first, then running the commands

[HTC Rezound] Neo:
No battery drain here! I have had improved battery actually on CleanRom Dev 1.4

However, I did notice that the version of wireless tether included with that rom has issues on my phone in that when you disable the tether, although it appears to be off it's still secretly on and drains the battery fast.. Are you perhaps using this tether and experiencing the same issue? I downloaded the wifi tetherv3.1-beta15-PUBLICTEST2 and it works flawlessly and batter drain came to an end.

This script has been amazing on both of my Rezounds running CleanRomDev and Venasaur Rom.
[HTC Rezound] tm1618:
Just an update, running great on Tonked Rom from BAMF. No issues whatsoever. Runs great and makes an already awesome Rom even better! Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Gorilla*:
any way to check and make sure it worked? Does the stock kernel support Init.d? Im using the latest RUU leak.

When i installed it via recovery, all went well, it said it worked.
[HTC Rezound] fo0you:
My guess would be the RUU is not setup for init.d

you can check by using a file explorer, go to the root directory, then the "etc" directory, there should be a directory named init.d
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
...additionally, you want to verify that the scripts are running. You can use the below command via adb (or remove "adb shell" keywords for terminal)

to verify that the script has run post boot and the parameters are not overwritten run the below command:

adb shell cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

Last number in result should be around 28K

Does this work with RezViper 1.0.3?
[HTC Rezound] Budderz:
Yes and it made mine pretty speedy... not that it wasn't before but now its super fast :)
[HTC Rezound] NAU420:
So does this work with newt's XXX Rom?
[HTC Rezound] Luke8400:
I've been using this on RezViper 1.0.3 (just since yesterday) and I've definitely noticed a difference in speed and battery life. The ROM was already smooth and snappy, but this mod made it even better. Also I tether a lot, which usually drains the battery and causes some heat on any ROM, but this has really improved those issues. I can't say for sure if my internet speeds have improved though; my speedtest.net results are pretty much the same. But I've been satisfied with that anyway. Great job.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Yeah this should work on any ROM
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Alright folks, just installed a different rom on my phone. I'm gonna make a guestimation and say that all ICS roms are using the file "init.qcom.post_boot.sh". The thing with this file is it is overwriting some of the settings in the init.d script that is included in this turbo prop update (and any other scripts you have in the init.d, even from the actual rom developer). I'm not sure if devs/users are aware of this or not but you can simply check your minfree settings using simple adb commands and see if the values set by init.d scripts are overwritten by this "post boot" script. Below is the code.

The below command can be run from terminal emulator or inside the adb shell command line:

-Check to see if your settings are being overwritten

cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

If you ran my turbo prop script, the values should read 2048,3072,6144,15360,19200,28160

If the values match those above then you're good to go and don't need to run through the fix below.

I have provided a file in post 1 "tbp_fix.zip" you can flash to fix this issue.
[HTC Rezound] bik2101:
i just tried flashing your fix in slimROM 1.8 after running the commands in terminal and seeing they weren't correct but that really messed things up, so reflashed my ROM and all fine again. just thought i'd report that info.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
The commands are pretty much the same as the turbo prop script, except instead of modifying the build.prop file, i'm modifying another file... if the turbo prop script works on your rom then so should the fix...
[HTC Rezound] bik2101:
hmm okay. so instead of the turboprop zip i should flash the fix? or do i flash both? i'll give it another shot.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
You'd have to flash both.

Turbo Prop v3.0

It seems to work on ViperRez 1.0.3 using TWRP recovery as well. The only thing is Wifi Tether ceases to work (it force closes) until I go back to the original build prop. So I think I will use Turbo Prop until I need to tether at which time I will rename it to turboprop new (until I'm done tethering).

v4 (beta) is out.

Please note: you may/may not experience battery life degradation. I've only been running this for a day. If you're not going to be near a charger, i'd say hold off until we get some results in.

Also, I have enabled swap. This means your phone is using the internal SD to add memory for applications that need it. Problem with swap is after 5-7 days, your phone might get a lil bit sluggish. Just make sure to reboot every couple of days, or when you start to feel your phone slowing down.

Any electronic device isn't meant to run continuously for days on end. Just like laptops and pc's, smart phones should be restarted at least once every couple of days, at the most. I try to reboot my phone at least once a day.

Even without the Turbo Prop, your phone won't continue to run at its peak if you leave it on for days on end, its just the nature of electronics.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Yeah, reboot is recommended either way. I'm sure you can live without your phone for the minute it takes to reboot :p
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
I'll flash v4 and be sure to give feedback in the coming day ir two since no one seems interested in doing so. Thanks as usual Dan :)

[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
What does it do to the build.prop? I flashed after a nandroid and it does indeed seem faster but what is it doing? Just trying to wrap my mind around it
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
It doesn't make any changes to the radio settings so it should be fine.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
to revert back if your having issues

use root explorer:

go to "/system/" folder

delete "build.prop"

rename "build.prop.old" to "build.prop"

reboot
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
So I flashed and nothing happened it seems.

No build.prop.old was made and I wouldn't be able to look at the current build.prop to see differences.

Error on my part?

I went to my system folder and remained it to build.prop.bak and rebooted into recovery to flash zip, flashed it, rebooted and got stuck at htc logo.. removed batt and plugged it back in lots of times still no luck... ideas?

---------- Post added at 07:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 AM ----------

script did not do it for me either... hmm.. on newts xxx one sense4 rom
[HTC Rezound] fo0you:
So you deleted the replacement build prop and renamed the "old" backup to build.prop? Fixed permissions to be sure and rebooted?

Really to analyze differences just open the zip file of your current ROM and open the build.prop of that in your favorite text editor and the replacement build.prop in the zip.

Works great for me on cleanROM DE 1.4, I have a backup and all
[HTC Rezound] xdadevnube:
This looks *****in'.

So far my phone hasn't exploded yet. Will post feedback when after some usage.

I'll have to look at the build.prop to see which tweaks you used.

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Milly7:
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but you were not supposed to rename anything on your own. By changing the name to .bak the script may have found nothing to update or modify. You may have gotten stuck because technically after renaming it you had no build.prop. flash the script and upon modification your previous unedited build.prop should be there with .old as a backup of sorts.
[HTC Rezound] thornev:
Only 1 of the build.prop settings (as listed at your tweaks link) exists on my CleanROM 4.5 ROM. Does that mean this ROM doesn't respect the tweaks? In other words, does adding the tweaks (as opposed to editing them) result in the performance benefits you claim?
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
I'm noticing a huge decrease in battery life. Its fast and all but where can I find my original build.prop its not located where the other one is
[HTC Rezound] amaroth:
can i ask what exactly is tweaked?

theres gotta be a list right? not just "general speed increase"
[HTC Rezound] thornev:
The list is linked in post #1.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Yes, do NOT rename your build.prop prior to flashing... the script looks at your current build prop, and adds tweaks to the end of the build.prop file
[HTC Rezound] emarietta:
Would there ever be any 4g tweaks?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
You are correct. Thanks for explaining.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
There are network tweaks out there but I haven't messed with any of the settings. Plus the script would become specific to those of us having 4g and might mess up people on GSM or 3g only etc.

[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
It's a modified build.prop, read the link in the OP.
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
? It's diffrent because its not changing voltage or frequency of the kernel
[HTC Rezound] mforminio7:
How in your head did you come to think an oc'd kernel and build.prop are similar haha nahh this just adds some universal android tweaks to your existing build.prop to hopefully get little more speed/battery out of the phone. :D

OP, any idea on how to make this work for me?

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Is it not updating your current build.prop when you flash it? Do you have busybox installed? It needs sed and some other commands to work.

Might be onto something, it's not in system/bin

Any idea where it can be?

I'm assuming it wasn't there either before I installed the free version from the market and then hit the install button from within the busybox app.
[HTC Rezound] evilstewie23:
It should have worked then since cleanrom comes with Su which needs busybox to work. Did u check in system if the new build prop was in there ?
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
I the busybox I installed from market in my internal memory of my phone, moved it over to /system/bin and rebooted and reflashed. Still nothing happened.

I've checked /system/ every time I've reflashed to see if the build.prop.old appears since I'm assuming the old one will be backed up per the OP.

There was no busybox in my /system/bin before this.

I found busybox in my /system/xbin/ if that makes a difference.

Mine batt died fast and I'm on extended batt

Maybe it has something to do with your radios? Just throwing that out there... I'm a little nervous to try this now because my battery life is pretty good right now.

Lol who am I kidding I know ill end up flashing lol.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
So there should be zero reason why this isn't working then.

busybox was or at least is now in my /xbin/ folder.

It's also in my /bin/ folder.

It didn't work with busybox in both folders, neither folder, or just one in their respective folders.

I have everything needed for it.

I'm stumped.

I am on clean rom DE 1.4 using amon recovery and just flashed this and it worked.
