What is the difference between these settings:
1) Changing this line in build.prop
From
debug.composition.type=dyn
To
debug.composition.type=gpu
And 2)
Enabling "force gpu rendering" in developer options.
And if I enable one do I need to enable the other?

I found some build.prop tweaks and I wanted to get some opinions on them. Some of them work and helped my phone. Some dont work. Some Im not sure if they do or not. There are a few I found that are device specific. But I dont know if they do anything.
Anybody willing to test these and give some feed back???

Will try it soon btw, "some of them work & some dont work" what work & dont work for you? thanks !
Keep in mind I am using my own custom ROM. Some of these can affect other ROMs differently. The ones I know worked in mine are:
profiler.force_disable_err_rpt=1
profiler.force_disable_ulog=1 --------->These 2 are for error reporting and logging. If you need to do testing do not add these lines.
ENFORCE_PROCESS_LIMIT=false
persist.sampling_profiler=0
ro.min_pointer_dur=5
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
persist.cust.tel.eons=1 - got better signal
ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1 - better in call voice quality
ro.max.fling_velocity=12000 - faster scrolling
ro.min.fling_velocity=8000 - faster scrolling
dalvik.vm.verify_bytecode=false
debug.composition.type=gpu - better 2d and 3d score, plays some games and vids better
settings.display.autobacklight=0 - turns off auto dim feature
Here is a few more to add as well
dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1
debug.kill_allocating_task=0
debug.egl.profiler=1
debug.egl.hw=1 - not sure if these do anything.
and some roms have this line already but it needs to be changed from 1 to 0. If not you can add it. its supposed to make videos in youtube load and play better. 360p wasnt as choppy on mine after changing this.
ro.ril.hep=0
whats your build based on? just so people can get a rough idea CM7\AOSP?

From what i know, i read other tweaking thread this"debug.composition.type=gpu" should be, "debug.composition.type=mdp"
so.... know i confused about it. can someone explained what is the different "gpu" & "mdp" ? Sorry for being noobest...
Any reply, i really appreciate..
Thanks,
Edit : i used superb costum Rom ,CM9 made by paul-xxx
My build is based from GingerXperia V22. But its faster, smoother, and looks better. Im trying to get permissions to release it. Hopefully soon!!! Anyway my understanding is that when debug.composition.type=gpu it makes the phone render GPU performance only. You can change it to "cpu" or "mdp". But I got better 2d and 3d scores while rendering GPU.
I have found several more lines to add as well.
persist.telephony.support.ipv6=1
persist.telephony.support.ipv4=1
ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=1 - Net speed wet from 2500kbs to well over 3000kbs with 3 bars of signal and wasnt as jumpy. Stayed between 2500kbs to 3500kbs constantly
ro.config.hw_power_saving=0 - disables power save feature
dalvik.vm.checkjni=0
EDIT: A few more:
ro.config.hw_quickpoweron=true - Seems to boot up faster. Not sure
ro.config.vc_call_steps=20 -----> I use 20. Default is 7. Makes more volume steps in calls and made mine a little louder.
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=v,o=y ----> makes apps load faster and frees more ram. Do not add if ROM already has it in the build.prop. Just change the last part. Try this one as well:
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=v=n,o=v ----> seems to load apps faster

I try it on "gpu" , benchmark 2d & 3d score much better
Thanks again Chaw1985
Keep up the good work !

Huge Gains
I was getting around 1735 to 1780 in antutu before I added some of these lines. I gained nearly 100 points on and the phone is definintely faster. I consistantly run 1845 to 1859 now. I have several apps insalled that were running in the background during this. And only a class 4 sdcard.
Some of the lines wont take affect unless you clear your dalvik cacheand cachethen reboot twice after adding them to the build.prop files. and there are two build.prop files just in case some people dont know. So add to one in system. Then copy it to /system/bin. Anyone care to post some feed back and show benchmark scores and after trying some of these so the rest of the community can gain from this as well? Please post what ROM you are using as well
100 points on antutu is too much to look over. Lets everyone get in on this. Make our X8s better.

Hi, guys I've some questions about jelly bean on N7.
I know it has project butter. It's ok.
Why are there 'Disabling HW overlay' and 'Force GPU rendering' options disabled by default in settings > developer options?
Does it mean android uses cpu instead of gpu? if I enable those settings, does battery life improve?
thanks!

As far as I know the 'force GPU' only makes a difference on apps that don't use it by default. Your Ui already is using it. Not sure what disabling HW overlay does tho
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Disabling hardware overlays is a bad thing. Don't do it. Force GPU rendering can help with old apps that haven't been updated to support gpu rendering.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I've noticed that forcing GPU rendering makes some apps not show images. XDA is one of them.

I'm curious... Why disabling HW overlay is a bad thing? sometimes it's recommended in some ROMs (like aokp jellytime on my desire s).
Don't worry to be too technical. No noobs here

The only reason it would be recommended to disable it is if hardware overlay isn't fully working for your phone.

I know this has been asked before but can we do a poll on who uses "Force GPU 2D rendering" on there Nexus 4.
Hi,
Where is the poll
I use it, it helps a lot in XDA app for to have something smooth ... like scrolling...
I use it because I've found that pie doesn't disappear much with it enabled and pie is the number one make or break feature on this phone.

Hello everyone,
I am searching for an app, that allows me to switch off CPU cores of my Nexus and do decide how much min core and how much max cores will work. I can't find such settings in SetCPU.
Does anybody know such an app?
Use trickstermod.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
You will need trickster mod, aswell as a custom kernel with a configuarable hotplug system or eco mode.
I would recommend Franco Kernel Updater app along with franco kernel itself.
You can tweak how many cores come online when you touch the screen , max and min frequencies , screen color adjustments (Recommended values from obsanity is amazing!) , everything you would ever think of to tweak in a kernel manually , is scripted in this app.
It's highly recommended , you wouldn't be disappointed with it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thank you guys! I will give franco kernel a try, with the corresponding app. Because I want to try undervolting as well.
The nightly r183 seems to be the latest for 4.3 (I am running the Stock ROM). Does it have any discovered bugs?
If you want to make your device for example 2 cores on only franco kernel won't work you will need a kernel like: neo, matr1x or faux and use trickster mod (or for faux you can use faux enhancement project) apps and go in hotplug settings

Please explain exactly what this new files does.
I think he just enabled GPU rendering(debug.composition.type=gpu) that IS NOT SOLUTION for lags, because lots of apps that didn't lag before can now lag, especially older ones. They can even ForceClose

tweak code used is
PHP:
#UI Tweaks
persist.sys.ui.hw=1
It works
For the people that don't know what permissions to set the file to:
It's -rw-r--r-- or code 644
simply check "Force GPU rendering" in developer options...
Best solution: Reboot 5-10 times...

Did you mean after 5-10 times rebooting the settings lag will be gone?
