[TIPS] Share your Tweaks,Tips & Fixes for Dell Streak 5 :)

Hi Guys,
Thought I'd start a little thread for people to share their tweaks and tips so that others can enjoy too
Since I'm new to the Dell Streak, this would benifit me as well.
My Tweaks & Tips:
Boot Animation:
ICS Boot Animation Landscape (Full Screen Boot)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459717
Just edit the 'desc.txt' file to '800 480 24p 0 0 part0'
Apps:
-Rotation Locker (force landscape/portrait for all apps)
-Startup Manager (disable startup apps to save memory)
-Battery Defender (wifi off when screen turns off, bypass reboot bug! **WiFi Policy Bug**)
-Ram Manager Pro (great memory management app) ~50MB more
-System Cleanup (move apps from /data/app to/from /system/app/)
-Rescan Media (turn off media scanning service, to increase boot time)
Tweaks:
-Increase SD Cache (Speedup SD Write/Read Speeds) *Can be done by app*
Game Compatibility Tweak(Build.prop)
Change the build.prop brand & model :
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.brand=HTC
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
Signal Boost Tweak:
Follow djscopesofm's guide here:

ROM
Official Olleh 407, thanks to http://www.streaksmart.com/ for the heads-up and to the Manii for the manual and support.
Set ro.secure=0 in default.prop by flashing a boot.img from GingerStreak 2.4
Cleanup
Used adb to delete unwanted apps:
Removed all Olleh market apps
Removed Lota, Logservice and Logmaster2 (both apk and odex files)
Removed Accuweather and ZinioReader
Tweaks
Installed free ADWLauncher from the market, replacing Dell Stage UI
Locked main screen to portrait
Custom Bootanimation
Removed the camera_click.ogg file from system/media/audio/ui
Custom /etc/hosts file sending advertising sites to 127.0.0.1

whats this sposed to do mate?

ro.secure is already set to 0 in all custom kernels.
I'm pretty sure you cant change it once the device has booted up, you need to modify the kernel (or rather it's ramdisk) and reflash.

Gives you root rights from adb without installing superuser and busybox. My approach may not be the proper way to achieve this, see below.

Yes, but I had flashed the official Olleh ROM, since that was the first time I was changing ROM and I wanted to be on the safe(r) side. I would now recommend to other noobs such as myself to go for a streamlined ROM, but then I didn't know better.

As far as I figured, changing dafault.prop required unpacking the bootimg, editing the file, repacking the image and flashing it back. I took a riskier shortcut to extract a bootimg from a different ROM that I assumed was pre-rooted and likely to have ro.secure=0. It was a stupid thing to do, but it luckily worked, and all it took was three lines with fastboot. I may add that the contents of the file changed a few times after reboots, and I noticed a file with ro.secure=1, ro.debuggable=1 at some point. I've also found in the file /firstboot/permissionadb.err a line "date time <adb>: permission secure=1", supposedly logging an error that I had caused by fooling around...

official olleh 407 installed + deodexed + language pack + portrait hack by themanii + superuser (rooted) + MattedbBlues theme + GoLauncher EX.
-tweaks
-using handcent sms (with darkness skin) for simple solution to everride the convertion from sms to mms
-i consider a tweak that i don't have any memory manager or things like that, i just use the applications i need and if something bothers me, i just freeze it using titanium backup.
-for end call freeze problem, i just use the option from settings>accesibility>power button ends call, solves that problem and i think is more "accesible".
-everything runs smooth, almost no problems i would say, but i noticed some problems, wifi tends to "lag" when using instant messaging applications, i know that this is a known bug, but works pretty ok otherwise, also i use Wifi Static for almost any wireless network i connect to.
-another problem i have noticed is that sometimes it just doesn't want to send SMS's, it just gives me a undelivered notification, and i resend it again, i also noticed that the sms is sent, but not entirely, so when this happens, if i resend it 4 times, that person recieves 3 incomplete messages and finally the complete one, also, this is a farly rare bug.
hope this helps!

Added new tweaks.

We thank you very much for your time in order to have the best settings in our phones...Is it possible to change the wifi settings in order to see channels 12-14 at 2.2.2 official android?

these are pretty 407/olleh related, and I confirm they are working in this rom ONLY.
here goes
ro.build.CUSTOMER_CONFIG_KT=0
to disable the sms/mms conversion in the stock messaging app.
note that there also is a line like this
ro.build.CONFIG_CUSTOMER_KT
which I have no idea what it does (but set it to 0 anyway)
ro.build.FEATURE.SHUTTERSOUND=0
set to 0 to show the shutter option in the camera app (note: this option alone does NOT disable the shutter sound, it just shows the option in the app!)
ro.build.OEM_PRESET_APN_LOCK=1
ro.build.OEM_PRESET_APN_HIDE=1
grants the ability to disable and delete preset APNs from Wireless Settings. They are locked in 407
debug.composition.type=gpu
to enable the "CRT off" animation which is disabled by default.
these are not all my findings, thanks to the original discoverers!

-----NEW FIX
I had a problem for some time now with long sms's, not the mms to sms convertion, solved it with handcent sms, but the phone would simply not send bigger than 3-4x160 sms's.
Code:
-put your mobile phone to GSM only mode, at mobile networks settings.
(this problem seems to be solved for now, hope this helps...)

Ya'll have covered just about everything I already do. One quick easy littke thing I found helpful is GPS Status & Toolbox for keeping the GPS and compass in line. Letting the app update AGPS data daily helps GPS lock time and there is a compass calibration app that I need to use regurely.

I'm not sure if other gb roms have it but in dsc 0.72 I stumbled upon the option to set up peak and non peak hours and shut data off after a set amount of time, if anyone's interested here's how to get to it
settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>schedule data connection
with the non peak hours set up for when i'm asleep and peak to 15 minutes I'm able to get close to two and half days on a single charge with a few 5 minute phone calls and ~400 texts sent per day
Edit:
Setting this up WILL prevent all apps that rely on syncing while the phone is asleep from syncing, it's not much of an issue for me but to those who rely on apps syncing while the phone is asleep should be advised to set up non peak hours data shut off only.

[FIX] Wallstreak app - to center my 800 x 480 wallpapers perfectly
[TIP] Gingerstreak - 2.4.4 Rom with DSC-Team-Phoenix kernel , works flawless
[TIP] A Touch of ICS theme - to give it a nice black and blue look
[FIX] Widgetlocker - to bypass the default lock screen and make it a bit more usefull
[TIP] Extended controls - when the default power controll app is just a bit to limited for your taste
[FIX] Opera Mobile - a bug that my streak has is a browser that takes forever to load, Opera mobile solves this
[TIP] Streakled - a nice app that uses the Streaks led lights to notify you when youve received a e-mail or text message

I have noticed that cleaning up the cache changes browser load times immensely, from almost instanteneous after clean up to close to 1 minute after a couple of weeks without one. Other than that, I love desktop Opera, but haven't used the mobile version yet...

Nice and usefull thread mate.
I don't know about windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=500.Are you sure about? Cause for example in sgiii the default is 300 that is the highest i ever saw.
I just want to add a warning for new users who want to change build.prop.
The most of explorers like es explorer will make a stuck on boot after the changes (on ics ROM at least), so its recommended to edit build.prop before rom installation via pc.

I usually make a copy of build.prop in system. In case of boot issue, you can go in CWM and replace the modded with original.

as far as i know the note records 720p videos at 11mbps and records 1080p videos at 17mbps
how can a lower value (8mbps) increase recording quality
it would be more logical to set it to something like 20000000 (20mbps) or even more in order to improve quality
as it turns out, samsung camera parameters are stored /system/etc/media_profiles.xml
so changing these probably wont change anything
on the other increasing bitrate in the mentioned file does the trick and you can set very high bitrates (up to 30mbps for me)
but you can experiment with lgcamera tool before stting a defintive value

ro.ril.hsxpa=2 should be 3

This might result in the constant FC of Apex launcher. Apex conflicts being getting forced in memory from bootup after rom flash and hence FC. So kindly keep a second launcher in your /system/apps if you gonna use Apex with this tweak until Apex gets fixed.
(Side note - Happens in JB)
Thanks for listing everything out

With notecore kernel you so not breed does tweaks.

Config
Whats the best build.prop config for Cleanote 5 and Notecore kernel performance wise?
Any toughts?

Indeed the bitrate mentioned previosly is indeed lower than the stock figure, ive pulled this from my version also.
as well as max events build prop. This has been confirmed as useless even google states 90 is the most as it should be 1.5 times default fps which is 60. By setting this above 90 you induced stutter and lag, as the remaining processing time required to handle the additional values is counteractive
The link below is a good read on why some tweaks are counter productive

[GUIDE]Build.prop explained [Updated 11/30]

Hello fellow xda members. Today i present you my little tutorial about the build.prop file. I have taken the reference build.prop from k2wl's aokp rom.
Please make a nandroid backup in case something goes wrong.
I´m not responsible for any damages to your phone.

What is the build.prop ?
TheManii: Build.prop is what holds the majority of the runtime flags that are used when android boots, think of it as being
similar to config.sys on dos or environment variables in various OS's. It only holds variables, it cant run any scripts on it's own. Whatever is placed inside depends on android itself to pay attention to the flag and actually use it.
In easier words it is a file in your android system that maintains certain parameters on your phone in order for your phone to run.
These properties are device specific and can change depending upon the various specifications of the device and also includes some system properties.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Where is build.prop located?
You will find the build.prop file in root/system/build.prop. You can open it with a root explorer/es explorer which has a built in text editor.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to edit build.prop?
1.With a root explorer or ES file exploreror.
copy /system/build.prop to the root of the internal sdcard (/mnt/sdcard).
2.Edit it using a text editor (ES and root explorer have an inbuilt text editor) or on computer using notepad++.
3.Be careful as some of the parameters already exist. Just change their values.
4. Overwrite /system/build.prop with the edited file.
5. Make sure that the permissions are still rw-r--r--:
6. Reboot into recovery
wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Make sure to edit existing line if present

Judging from its name I assume people think it disables some kind of logging mechanism. But 'no'.The “ulog” referred to in this property is an HTC-specific service that HTC calls the User Behavior Logging Service. This service is centered around tracking user behavior related to the HTC Sense launcher. The HTC ULog tracks some basic things like the number of ANRs and/or crashes, but it also potentially tacks things like your wallpaper selection, your installed apps and your locatio (HTC specific)
profiler.force_disable_ulog=1
Unlike the latter, this one actually does turn off sending device crash log data to HTC. This will make your device run faster/smoother/better (HTC specific)

ro.ril.hsxpa=2
Defines what class speeds to use with EDGE.

12 is the default value for most modern phones.
Setting this value to 12 can improve the data speed significant on lower connections.

# Dalvik VM tweaks
This controls the smallest amount of memory given to a single application.
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=5m
This value represents the maximum allowed amount of memory that the Dalvik Virtual Machine can allocate to the applications. A higher value means faster apps but more RAM consumption.
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=48m
The dalvik.vm.heapsize property defines an absolute maximum for the heap size for an application
dalvik.vm.heapsize=128m
This point stands for "Debug SurfaceFlinger Hardware" or GPU hardware acceleration
debug.sf.hw=1
Explained Earlier(change to this to load apps faster and free more ram)
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=v,o=y or m=y
This property can set the execution mode of the Dalvik VM. The VM can run in three modes: fast, portable, and JIT. It is possible to compile Android without JIT support, but the default is to include it. In general, JIT is the execution mode you are going to want on your device. This is why you will see most build.prop files setting this property to “int:jit”.
In ICS or lower , there is no need to define this setting in your build.prop
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit or int:fast
Others
dalvik.vm.heaptargetutilization=0.75
dalvik.vm.heapmaxfree=2m
dalvik.vm.lockprof.threshold=500
# Improve battery

Bluetooth OPP low speed to save power

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=240
System can free more Ram when needed
persist.sys.purgeable_assets=1
This property purports to significantly increase your battery life by putting signaling your device to use a better power mode when your phone is idle. Recommended values range from 0, 1, 4 with the most common be 1
pm.sleep_mode=1
To save battery turn off wifi, internet, bluetooth, gps, lower the brightness at night, kill all apps running in background, clear ram, underclock if kernal supports and also switch off the animations settings>display>no animation.

Digitizer problem
Hello,
any idea if there is a property which would control the digitizer orientation? My digitizer got mixed up after flashing a new ROM version and the manufacturer`s stock is not the same stock as used to be inside the tablet.
ATM my digitizer is mirrored top-down in landscape and there might be a build.prop to compensate. Does such setting exist?
Joe

awesome NOOB guide for the build.prop! had a doubt, can i edit the build.prop and change the wallpaper?
when the rom is loaded i want the default wallpaper to be like the stock rom! is it possible?
if so then which are the lines i need to edit! pls inform!

Two methods to do that.
1. By editing your build.prop
ro.sf.hwrotation=xx in /system/build.prop should do the job.
xx = 00 (portrait mode - default)
xx = 90 (landscape mode)
xx = 180 (full tilted)
2. What you need to do is edit yourAndroidManifest.xml*file and specify the orientation for your activity, as well as handle orientation changes yourself:
Then your activity will always run in a landscape mode regardless of the device orientation.
However note that this will affect all applications running on the device.

Decompile framework-res.apk then go to
res/drawable-sw600dp-nodpi/default_wallpaper.jpg
Replace the image that you want with resolution of 1440x1080.
Recompile and push the framework-res.apk to system/framework/here.
Hope it helps.

This basically means that when the system will update/auto update over the air, or OTA, or Delta updates, or for that sake even when you manually flash the new update, the system will not replace your custom recovery.
You can view this under the Developer Option, where the option "Update Recovery" or "Update Cyanogen Recovery" is turned off by default.
This is to help with custom recovery , as inbuilt recovery is limited and does not have all the customisations.

Build.Prop tweaks working for most on LG G Stylo [Updated 9/18/2015]

Attention if you try this and end up with a brick or your device transforms and tries to destroy you; it's not my fault you did this not me. So just read all of this thread not just the O.P to get out of a bind if you reply with "the thread is too long i wont read it please help" don't expect anything short of "there's a search bar use it"
okay so i thought i'd make this thread over here as well since i'm hosting my threads on both XDA and AF
just a quick copy and paste
Here are some build.prop tweaks that i have tried out, there are plenty of ways to edit the build.prop file i personally use root browser (file explorer) which has a RB Text editor....
So the build prop editors on android tend to cut off the build.prop characters after a certain point so to get around this copy your build.prop from /system to your SD. Then transfer it from SD to the desktop of your computer after your comfortable with the edits; move the "original" one in the SD card to a new sub folder which probably want to name "original prop" then copy the edited one to the root of your SD then replace the one you have in /system then fix the permissions to 0644 and reboot and profit (you can use gedit on Ubuntu or Notepad++ on windows don't know about mac tho)

Maybe you shouldn't mess with your phone if you dont know what you're doing. Editing the build prop isn't hard and especially isn't if you follow directions and lord forbid you do a little research.

Maybe you shouldn't make assumptions about the level of expertise of random people on the internet. Copy+Paste of those build.prop lines = dead phone. That means that the properties written are wrong. Plain and simple.
No worries though, the fix is really simple now! All I have to do is rip out the logic board, throw it in the trash, and put a new one in! Couldn't be simpler! /s
There is no possible way that you added all of those build.prop tweaks and still ended up with a working phone on the Boost rom. ADB pull your build.prop list and post it here, or it didn't happen.

Fire TV Stick 4K/Lite/3rd Gen Build.prop Tweaks (Works with latest FireOS) (Need Root)

Before I start this tweaking guide for the Fire TV Stick 4K/Lite/3rd Gen, I'm not responsible for what you do to your device. Please follow this guide carefully to prevent confusion. First of all, you need to be rooted and unlocked to add these tweaks to your Fire TV Stick 4K. You also need a USB keyboard or a Bluetooth keyboard to successfully type in these tweaks yourself in the file, build.prop. Due to Amazon's operating system, typing these tweaks in will redirect you to the top page in which prevents being able to scroll down to an empty line if you do end up using the Amazon Fire TV remote/controller. It's important to not accidently make the Amazon Keyboard pop up. A sidenote too, using the Fire TV remote app while copying and pasting will not work therefore will lead to the code you pasted to show up as /.

These are all the tweaks I have added on my Fire TV Stick 4K/Lite/3rd Gen. So far it's been successful for me with performance improvements and apps that are horrible with scrolling. Let me know what you guys think! If you want even more performance out of your device on top of these tweaks to add in the build.prop, download and install Kernel Adiutor and set the CPU Governor to Performance. You'll now see it say 1690! Apply on Boot! Then reboot!
Surprisingly enough the Fire TV Stick Lite/3rd Generation Sticks have the same cpu frequencies as the Fire TV Stick 4K with .5 less of ram. You'll notice how fast your device gets with these tweaks enabled.

Thanks it works. Can i use this on a gen2 rooted stick?

Thanks for the tweaks.
I just copied the build.prop to my PC, made the tweaks and the copied back, checked the permissions and rebooted, took all of 15secs!
It does seem to be snappier now...
btw where do you set "performance" in KA? I set the min & max Freq to 1690 and applied on boot toggle. Not sure if it's persisting though...

Go to CPU, CPU Governor and set that to performance and reboot. By default its set to interactive in which randomly sets the frequencies. So its best to set it as performance since it automatically changes to the maximum CPU frequency and stays put.

Just to make sure i am clear, I copied the build.prop from the system folder. Transferred to a computer, added this to the bottom of the file (using notepad ++).
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150
ro.min_pointer_dur=8

media.stagefright.enable-record=true
persist.cust.tel.eons=1
ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=1
ro.config.nocheckin=1
Then saved, copied back the to firestick4k overwriting existing build.prop- I used a mouse for solid explorer.

What is the risk of using these on a firestick2 tank? (i great results with mantis, so i figure why not)

Seems much better considering the tank is about as fast as a tank... Did the kernel performance also!

@Skel40 why not using a Magisk module which will setprop systemless, instead of messing with system files?
Imho that way it's easier to test and also recover if something goes wrong, or simply if someone wants to go back to stock.
Edit: Added a Magisk module for testing.You can install it from Magisk Manager or with TWRP.

Yes! Perfect!!! What editor am I supposed to use for additional tweaks? I might as well update the guide for people to test out these tweaks themselves systemlessly. I wasn't familiar with systemless build.prop tweaks on Magisk before. Thank you!

does anyone know if it works on Fire Tv 2nd (sloane)? thank you

Before I start this tweaking guide for the Fire TV Stick 4K, I'm not responsible for what you do to your device. Please follow this guide carefully to prevent confusion. First of all, you need to be rooted and unlocked to add these tweaks to your Fire TV Stick 4K. You also need a USB keyboard or a Bluetooth keyboard to successfully type in these tweaks yourself in the file, build.prop. Due to Amazon's operating system, typing these tweaks in will redirect you to the top page in which prevents being able to scroll down to an empty line if you do end up using the Amazon Fire TV remote/controller. It's important to not accidently make the Amazon Keyboard pop up. A sidenote too, using the Fire TV remote app while copying and pasting will not work therefore will lead to the code you pasted to show up as /. Go to the Amazon Appstore and install Total Commander, you need to hover over to file system root, Grant su permissions, go to system, then long press the build.prop file and press edit file, (use Total Commander's editor).

Hi Skel40,
Is this mod already in your debloated ROM? (Fire TV Stick 4K (mantis) Debloated Rom [V.1_6.2.7.3])

Hey @Skel40 I see you've added some ipv4/6 additions to your file. Looking good.
Just wondering willl this work on Sloane?
I'm also looking to see if I can maybe get the normal android boot animation like you have on your Debloated 6.2.7.3 rom if that's okay.
Ive played around with build.prop for a while now and my last escapade was an alcatel pixie 3 4g which I managed to root with magisk via SPFT mediatek EMMC flash.
Believe it or not the little phone is actually snappier on stock, Debloated 5.1 lol, just goes to show how universal these tweaks are.
Anyway all good mate if you could help with the boot animation that would be great.

No m8 the "android" boot animation, the one you have on your rom instead of amazon logo, will it work on. Sloane? If so can you send me it, I have a "freedom firetv" with minions just now but I like your plain black screen android one at boot.
