Hi All,

***************************************** Warning ********************************

Doing any stuff mentioned below might brick your phone and

I am not responsible for that. Please do it at your own risk and

after knowing what you are doing.

************************************************************************************

Was trying few small things with the phone.

1) Tweaking the build.prop for fun.

I tried few changes with build.prop as following are the changes I have done.

A) ro.sf.lcd_density=200 changed from 240 increases resolution. but I am not sure about stock launcher as I have Go Launcher.

B) ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100 sets jpeg img quality to 100%

C) windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=55 improves performance.

......more to come soon.

Have attached my build.prop as build.prop.txt all u need is removing .txt at the end.

2) Tried boot animation and its simple by replacing bootanimation.zip in /system/media/

3) Never liked typing password/pin/pattern for unlocking the device, I used this one methode for Galaxy S2 to have security less/administrator less email. You can try it from following link.

Alternatively follow following steps;

How to apply this patch?

1) Root your phone. Your phone must be rooted. It is impossible to apply this patch without root access. You need root to proceed. Get Java (Java SE JRE v6 or 7)

2) Get USB drivers. Most likely you already have this because of step 1.

3) Enable USB debugging on the phone (Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging)

*must have a working adb connection.

4) Download and unzip attached patch email policy zip.

5) Run apply-patch.cmd

* Mac/Linux users: run apply-patch-nix.sh for further instructions

THANKS rustamabd from Galaxy S2 forum for this, its whole and solely his work, I have only copied his work.

Zipaligning your apps.

Here is a way to zipalign all your systems for better performance as zipaligned apps consume less RAM.

2) Open cmd run command adb pull /system/app app_stock. This will copy all apps from system/app to app_stock folder.

3) Run zip-align.exe and click select folder with apks and choose folder app_stock of step 2 and click yes when it asks open output folder with .bat

4) The folder that will open will contain one zipalign.bat file, run this batch file by double clicking it.

5) When it completes all your zipalign apps will in folder zipalignedapps in same folder as of bat file.

6) Run cmd and navigate to the folder where zipalignedapps folder is. Run adb push zipalignedapps /sdcard/

7) Reboot phone recovery(CWM recovery only) and goto mount menu, mount sdcard and system

8) Open cmd on your computer and run commands in same sequence as following.

adb shell cp /sdcard/zipalignedapps/* /system/app/

adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/*

9) unmount system and sdcard

10) goto advance menu of recovery and wipe dalvik cache

11) reboot your phone. It will take some time to reboot but will be fine.

Thanks to Jip-Jan for the zipalign application.
