[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dark_knight35:
HOWTO

It´s saver to edit the build.prop on the computer, as the lines are shorter on the phone. So that`s how to do it:

1. With a root explorer(I prefer ES file explorer), copy /system/build.prop to the root of the internal sdcard (/mnt/sdcard).

2. Connect phone to computer and copy the file on your computer.

3. With Notepad++, open build.prop and edit it. Be careful as some of the parameters already exist. Just change their values.

4. Save and copy the file back to your phone's root.

5. Overwrite /system/build.prop with the edited file.

6. Make sure that the permissions are still rw-r--r--:

7. Reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache.

8. New values should be applied now.

9. Enjoy :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Abyv:
Thanks for this tips mate..but bit noobish..can ..u do a video for us..please?

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dark_knight35:
No, sorry, won't do a video. Which step isn't clear for you? I can edit the howto with some pics.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Abyv:
Yes pic would be nice, Just the scrolling one, also better signal one..thanks mate
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rafal408:
i can't find ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 on CM9
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dark_knight35:
I've edited it :). Try with ES file explorer, activate root explorer in it's settings and tick the system thing box.

Just put the line at the end of the file. The most tweaks aren't already in build.prop.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dark_knight35:
I forgot two:

persist.sys.purgeable.assets=1

Allows system to free up more RAM when needed.

debug.sf.nobootanimation=1

Disables bootanimation for faster boot.

These two are for testing, don't know if they work:

ro.mot.hw.HAC=1

ro.telephony.sms_segment_size=160 ->longer SMS? I read of something like that, may doesn't work in all countries.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MAQ7:
First of all,

Thanks for sharing

Second,

just a suggestion, update the first post and put all of the newly added tweaks there in one place.

Thanks again
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zorigo:
This is great, but the instructions on editting the build.prop are a little unclear, are we copy and pasting the tweaks from the OP into the file, or do we locate the appropriate lines in the build.prop and then change the values to match the tweak.

I'd like to be able to apply better 3g speeds and better signal but it's a little unclear.

Pictures, or thorough instructions would be appreciated. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] madushan92:
no need of a computer, i can do it in the phone itself, can't I?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oswade:
Not sure if half of these make any difference, but I have added a couple to my phone. Some are not applicable to our device for sure.

For the 3g tweaks, my research (google) seems to indicate that for the sgs,

gprs class should be 12

hsdpa category should be 8

hsupa category should be 6

I don't know if these even work though, i can't tell any difference.

One that i do find very useful for ICS, is one that enables MTP (most roms/kernels don't seem to have this option).

persist.sys.usb.config=mtp

Hope that is useful for someone, MTP rocks :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dark_knight35:
Some of the parameters like supplicant.scan.intervall are already there in build.prop. Then you just change the value. If there isn't a parameter in your

build.prop, you can copy&paste it from the OP.

You can do it on the phone, but it's not as save as on the computer. i.e. if you're at the end of a line with a root explorer and press the space bar to get to the next line, you aren't really in the next line and could get bootloop by rebooting. So I wrote how to do it on the computer.

Yes, the tweaks are only slightly noticable, and not all needed. But I'll add MTP to the list tomorrow for sure.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Madflapjack:
This is great. Good job :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jelle2503:
thanks!

there's no point in editing your build.prop if you cannot figure out how to do it after you've read the OP.

next thing they'll ask author of OP to create a custom build.prop for the users that "aren't sure" how to do it.

Just please, learn to use notepad :rolleyes:

PS. And if a line doesn't exist in your build.prop, add it!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] marwan91:
first of all thanks ..

i have 2 question:

1. i can apply more than 10 tweaks at once?!

2. do i need space(enter) between every tweak?! or no need?!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dark_knight35:
1. Why not? That works.

2. Yes, for every parameter a new line.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9000 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] marwan91:
lol of course new line but i mean

like :

rro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=1

ro.media...

or?

ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=1

ro.media >>?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] system.img:
Could I use this on the Galaxy Ace running Gingerbread 2.3.6?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] UltrasFrankfurt:
Yeah i think

P.s. can som1 make a build.prop with all tweaks for ics?

As the tiltle says How many of you disappoint with your SGS3 after purchased

What features you want to add in your s3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BJ van Beethoven:
No disappointment here, pleasantly suprised actually.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimJ87D:
It's my dream phone so far.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0semaj0:
As OP, why dont you "break the ice"?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
I got one disappointment - why Samsung didn't launch this awesome phone earlier. :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
because it seems MR op doesn't have the phone yet :D He is looking out for potential sellers (who are dissappointed with their phone - at least thats what is happening in the Indian thread for SGS3)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhiwltya:
only disappointment was the price...khe khe.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j2kquest:
Coming from galany note I'm disappointed that the s3 didn't come with the social and readers hub.

Social hub being the more important app.

I was originally a HTC user and loved the friendstream widget..so I welcomed the social hub app on my note as they similar.

Seems the s3 gave replaced it with flipboard WTF
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da.trute:
I do wish people didn't start these kind of threads, either research the phone properly before buying or if you think the problem can be resolved then log it in the QA section. ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazran01:
Not any regrations yet ..coming from sg

s2 missing some apps like Solaris office but it's okkk
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazybones:
Coming from a Desire/One X, I missed the Friendstream widget. Flipboard is not as good. However, I saw the Android Pro Widget recommended which I download from the Play Store. It is excellent - much more like Friendstream, the only downside being that you need to run separate widgets for Facebook and Twitter feeds.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0semaj0:
Price was fair, I mean thats what you expect for flagship range...Some NZ retailers ran a limited time price of approximately $650USD...ordered my 32GB for approximately $700USD

Smart...Cunning...haha. I dont expect many to let go and sell so quickly...and for those who do...it wont be too little anyways with a relatively shortage on the market? hows the stock availability in India? not much in NZ...waiting 3 days and counting for mine...

stock is close to nil here. 7 days and counting for me (waiting for blue). even the white one is hard to find
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kallexander:
Not much that can't be fixed with custom roms/mods/etc, and most of them will probably be fixed with official samsung updates too, but anyways:

- Smoother scrolling in messages (fixed by using Go SMS)

- Customizable settings widget in the dropdown menu

- Better optimized "deep sleep" to reduce the unlock lag

- Better optimized Wifi (many reports of "sudden stop" while still connected)

Other then that, I couldn't be happier with it. Such an amazing phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hagis2k:
Nothing to complain about if you ask me, came from an crappy iphone

so this is like being in heaven :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blonqe:
Well i'll bring the niceness down a little :)

I'm disopointed with gestures, swipe to take snapshot, hold palm to pause.

they are hit and miss for me, in fact i've not been able to pause it yet, and yes the funtion is turned on.

After a while the phone isn't super smooth, i mean dont get me wrong its silky smooth, but sometimes to maybe the untrained eye the phone takes that plit second to actually move (swiping pages on homescreen)

Gaming, is the smoothest i've played on a phone however stutters are visible on nova 3 (literally only for a split second) but i didn't expect this! (and yeah its not a S3 edition as its not out yet, so here hoping they optimize it better!

And the wake up lag was annoying, luckily got rid of that by turning s voice off!

But i believe as ICS is newish and the phone is brand new, these annoying things will be fixed in future updates.

I'm pleased with the phone but it doesn't have a gamepad like my xperia play does, lol
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMino:
Superb, but the audio. Expecting Voodoo shall fix that hopefully. Sounds like my SG1 pre voodoo. Any sound playing that is quiet, you can hear static. Sounds like bad audio filtering etc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPhilo:
I love my phone, but my only disappointment (as of now) is that there is hardly any development (ROM, Kernel) for this phone yet, compared to Galaxy S2, new ROM's and Kernel was coming out a lot faster at launch. Hopefully it start's to increase after the blue peddle version of S3 starts delivering.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
Very disappoint !

The phone is too fast ! Now I do not need my PC ! Outrage !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fbunnyuk:
This is more of a heads up than a problem.

Last night a number of my paid apps wouldn't load due to a license issue, turned out that I had set the date and time manually and it was out by a minute:(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D4rKn3sSyS:
I just lost an hour on that. Thank you dude.
[Transformer TF300T General] Psyloid:
so, many games are supposedly incompatible with our device, to a lot of frustration of people (including me)

well the thing is, actually they are compatible, but dev's haven't updated the apps to include our newish tablet (even XDA HD premium lists as incompatible)

the trick here is to make the market think we own a galaxy tab 10.1, you can do this by editing the /system/build.prop file (make a backup of the file first)

navigate to /system with root explorer (or similar) and make the build.prop file match the following

ro.product.model=GT-P7500
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=GT-P7500
ro.product.device=GT-P7500
ro.product.board=GT-P7500
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=GB
ro.wifi.channels=
ro.board.platform=tegra
# ro.build.product is obsolete; use ro.product.device
ro.build.product=GT-P7500
# Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint
ro.build.description=GT-P7500-user 3.2 HTJ85B XWKK4 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/GT-P7500/GT-P7500:3.2/HTJ85B/XWKK4:user/release-keys
ro.build.characteristics=tablet

reboot the tablet, and enjoy the unlocked apps :)

EDIT : some apps may still say incompatible on the tablet play store; but if you go to the play store from a browser you can install them (make sure you select GT-P7500 as the device to send them to)
[Transformer TF300T General] apaq:
This is awesome thanks a bunch.

Gameloft pisses me off when it comes to android support, but rooting makes it so you dont need their support. Thanks again :)
[Transformer TF300T General] 10010110:
Would this work for NOVA?
[Transformer TF300T General] whycry:
Anyone knows how to download real Racing 2?
[Transformer TF300T General] Psyloid:
No, because nova does not work with icecream sandwich, it worked for me for asphalt 6, dungeon hunter 3 and the xda premium hd app.

Unfortunatly older gameloft games like nova, dungeon hunter 1 &2 it does not work unless gameloft updates them for ics

Oh yea, and settlers hd works if you use chainfire 3d with powervr plugin
[Transformer TF300T General] mikaole:
Thanks for the tweaks. works fine here
[Transformer TF300T General] 10010110:
NOVA 3 maybe?
[Transformer TF300T General] apaq:
Yes it works. I played up to were you can start moving around and it looks amazing. Order and Chaos works. And I assume MC3 works too since it is one of the only gameloft games that shows up in the market for our tf300's but it force stops on me I figured its cause I titanium backuped the file from my phone. or that you would have to revert back to the old build.prop.
[Transformer TF300T General] Psyloid:
I think it would be the backup, as it works in the galaxy tab too
[Transformer TF300T General] fradworth:
Gameloft games are working now, no fidgeting needed. Just dl'ed lets golf 3

do i have to delete everything or just change this specific lines?

Hi Guys

My sgs 3 has a strange pattern on the lockscreen wallpapers, if they are dark you can see like brighter areas, bits of say a full black wallpaper show as grey.

I did think the screen was faulty but when I use same wallpapers for home screen/view pics/movies this problem is not there, its only on the lockscreen wallpaper, If I use a very bright one its hard to see but any black/dark red/blue/dark green will show this odd blotch...mainly right side.

Thanks for any help

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodoochild2008:
Is there some issue with the phone? Movies/games/pics all fine, I just get strange blotch on lockscreen, and what makes it even stranger if I use a live wallpaper on the lockscreen its fine,i only get the problem if i set a picture for the lockscreen 9worse with dark colours)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halle:
As B3311 just pointed out, turn off ripple effect and the weird pattern on lockacreen is gone. It needs to be there in order to be able to create the ripple effect.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodoochild2008:
Hi

I saw the post but I am just keen to find out what/why its there, you say it needs to be but that seems like a odd thing for Samsung to have, is there other posts covering this as I would like to find out if this is a samsung tech reply (its normal) or if its been seen by us and thats an answer we have came to.

thanks

Hi everyone,

I've got a problem trying to root my Ideos X5 using SuperOneClick.. Everywhere I look, it looks so straightforward. I simply don't know why it doesn't work.

I have downloaded/installed the Android ADB driver, and run SOC as admin and all I get up to is Step 5.

No hangs. Just nothing. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Please help.. Thanks.

[HTC Amaze 4G] SapphireGrove:
Hello, new here. :D I wanted to get some suggestions on what to do for this situation.

I've been currently searching for a new phone & I've found it, the Amaze of course. I finished my research and found this to be the perfect phone for me, though there is one issue I want to know about.

The Audio Quality on this phone is down right terrible compared to many phones out there, & I don't understand if this is a software problem or a hardware problem.

I need to know if this issue can be or is already solved, because out of the many videos I've seen its the same issue with the Audio in the video, just sad for such a highend phone. Has anyone fixed this or is someone working on it? Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Do you have a case on your phone? If you do then does it have the holes around the camera where the holes are?

I just recorded my daughters school play with ky phone and it sounds great. Then again I'm using a modded Camera.apk and using a Custom Rom. But the Quality of my recordings were nice.

[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
I've noticed that audio is passable on normal recordings. I happen to be a race fan, and IndyCar and F1 sound terrible on this phone. They overpower the mic and the audio is clipped or something, becuase I get alot of loud scratchy noise. I'm on stock, BTW.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SapphireGrove:
Thanks for replying :D

@Double0EK - I've still yet to buy the phone, I'm just making sure before I buy that it can be fixed. I heard that this issue could be resolved by using a Custom ROM, I wish I could post youtube links right away :( to show you what I mean. Its like a hollow super sensitive mic, its most noticeable when recording voice.

@oryan_dunn - That's similar but even then, just simple voice recording sounds bad to me. Every single video that I watch you can tell of the quality, since I can't post youtube links yet, if you happen to be on there you can search for video samples of peoples voice on it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Here's a small portion of the video I recorded with my phone. I think it sounds great..but then again I came from a really early/crappy phone before I got the Amaze. So naturally everything is better for me.

[HTC Amaze 4G] SapphireGrove:
@Double0EK - Aww, so cute, lol. Thank you very much for uploading that :) Yea I can tell that its much different, definitively sounds way much better. I guess I'll have to give it a go & root it right after.

I'm with the LG Optimus V, and even though the Evo 3D just came out for Virginmobile, I'm sick of their terrible service. I understand that its a prepaid, but service is just not good around in my area. T-Mobiles $30 Plan, 100minutes, unlimited texting and 5GB of data is very tempting, just needed to a phone to bring over. Thank you very much again. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] skyracer53:
i purchased this phone recently mainly because i wanted a good camera phone to bring to concert events. that way i wouldnt have to bring my camcorder. the video capture is great, however the audio was overwhelmed. i figured the 3 noise cancelling mics in the back would make sound recording good but that was not the case...

few examples:

damn i cant post links cause i dont have 10 posts yet...ill pm i guess

think i'm going to look into a modded camera.apk as well to see if i get better results
[HTC Amaze 4G] gustav30:
Guys,

Give lgcamera a whirl from the market. While it records in mono, the sound is much improved over the high gain HTC puts in their camcorder app. I'm on a Sensation but we suffer the same problem. With the lgcamera app you can set the audio to aac, 320kbs, 44.1khz. Sound is much better. If lgcamera doesn't do it for you try camera ICS from the market. Its basically the stock camera in the galaxy nexus.

Hope this helps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ITALIANNYC:
You can hear that hissssssssss sometimes during the video that I cant stand. Its almost as if something is two loud for the video. Its always like that when recorded with stereo on. I personally always record in mono and it makes that sound go away
