[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxsociety:
**Latest Working Revision is Rev-0.4 ** 07/28/12

**Now optional A500 build.prop for extra games/apps from Play Store**

**Thanks das_webos_transformer for testing 4.0.3 and submitting working tweaked 4.0.3 build.prop!! **

**UPDATE** Rev-0.4 For 4.1.1 Jelly Bean << NEW>>

This build.prop is specifically made for ICS and Jelly Bean - has been tested working and verified to improve performance. A500 mod now is working great.

I've been working on getting my A100 to smoking speed / performance and with my custom build.prop for ICS in combination with ezTerry's custom kernel, I think I have achieved the goal!

Yea Yea, So why another build.prop on xda? Well I was looking through the forums and noticed that there isn't much posted for ICS, there are HC tweaks, but the ones that ARE posted for ICS seem to fail.. I am confident that this build.prop will work as long as the person installing reads the instructions and information in this post thoroughly :good:

**EDIT 08/04/2012 - I was originally using the ezTerry kernel overclocked to 1.5 using the lulzactive governor, I am currently testing my own custom kernel that I haven't decided to release yet as I am still testing it myself before I publish - Before the build.prop, my AnTuTu Benchmark score was 6200, after the build.prop I get 7118, Both scores with ezTerry kernel and cm9 ; With stock kernel and stock rom score was <6000. So, that's just a benchmark.. -NO -

The main thing is - you can actually feel the difference

, and it is easily noticeable, so

it's not just a benchmark thing!

Here is what this build.prop does:

Enhancements:

*Faster Boot

*Home Screen stored in Memory

*WiFi Data rates increased

*WiFi Scan rate decreased to preserve battery

*Media and Image Quality increased

*Disable verbose kernel logging (consumes less memory/battery)

*HW Acceleration prioritized

*Increased Window Manager / GUI events per second

...Overall Performance is definitely noticeable!

*Optional* the A500 hack has been tested and working with games and shows extra apps in Play Store see notes below.

File naming conventions:

>>Please choose your android release version in #.#.# <<<

build.prop-#.#.#-supertweak-a100-revX.X.txt == Tweaked version keeping device recognized as an A100

build.prop-#.#.#-supertweak-a100-revX.X-A500 == Tweaked version tricking apps/system to think it is A500

build.prop-#.#.#-vanilla-a100-revX.X-A500 == A500 trick with no enhancements or tweaks

**Thanks to das_webos_transformer for testing making necessary changes for cm9 4.0.3 release!**

How to install:

*Download the appropriate build.prop file attached below that you wish to test (see above naming conventions)

*You must have root, and you must mount /System rw (use Root Explorer or similar tool)

*Rename the attached file to: build.prop

*Move the existing /System/build.prop to /System/build.prop.bak

*Move the new file to /System/build.prop

*Reboot to recovery - Wipe Cache - Wipe Dalvik - Reboot System

<<Important!! It won't work if you don't do this step!

*Wait for System to upgrade applications and Start to Home Screen. (initial boot takes a while, don't worry after this it wont)

*Reboot again.. Enjoy the performance

**07/28/2012 - A500 build.prop for A100 device back up, tested and working with performance mods intact. Grab the file with revX.X-A500.txt at the end of the file name. This allows extra apps to show up in Play Store/Market and your device will be recognized as the A500 instead of A100. Please don't forget to Wipe Dalvik and Cache before booting. First boot will take a while to update the apps.

**07/28/2012 - If you used the Rev.03 file please update to Rev.04 there was a minor error in the previous build.prop relating to windowmgr max events per second, this had a big impact in the performance and should be fixed in Rev.04
