Has anyone played around with build.prop tweaks much yet? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I've looked around a bit to see if anyone has played with any of the build.prop tweaks and didn't find much for the S4. I'm using Task650's AOKP Rom which has been great but i'm always on the hunt for extra tweaks. I searched through the default build.prop file on this rom and didnt come across any of the following, so i was wondering if anyone has tried any of these and or knows if they might be beneficial or detrimental.

Seems to be speeding up the UI a little bit (not that it really needed it coming from TW) and i'm not having any problems ive noticed yet.
Will continue to play around with more tweaks to see if they help/hurt if anyone is interested in my progress.

I have a question about a build.prop entry you didn't mention. ( wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=200 ) I had this entry on my LG p769 but I don't on my GS4. I have the mf3 update and am rooted. can we add this entry even though it's not there or could that cause problems?

I posted about one of the items that you tweaked but didn't receive any replies: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392988

Request: SPEEDSTEP; Omap clocking at fixed speeds when specific apps started

this sort of application would be well received. I.e so the omap clock is running at a set speed. then when certain big applications eg TomTom are run the clock speeds up to a preset level... almost like intel speedstep
I'm no programmer but setting speed with a already known overclock application doesn't sound hugely difficult.
any thoughts anyone?
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751
The latest version scales the processor speed according to CPU load. Works on any device with the OMAP-850 processor.

was looking for scaling for specific applications only! rather than general scaling
Omapclock speed can be set diff for various apps like this
SWITCHES & EXAMPLES
-------------------
OmapClock -clock <freq> [-confirm] [-launch <path> [-restore]]
-clock <freq>
installs frequency of the processor in MHZ
-confirm
require acknowledgements of the change the frequency
-launch <path>
start the program (the way to reference in rabbit earses!)
-restore
restore former frequency after termination of the uncared-for program (is ignored unless it is given parameter -launch)
Sequence parameter importances has not.
The Examples:
OmapClock -clock 132
OmapClock -clock 144 -confirm
OmapClock -clock 144 -launch "\Storage Card\Test.exe" -restore
To overclock for a certain program and then restore to normal when ended...
Change programs shortcut in \Windows\Start menu to...
OmapClock -clock 216 -launch "\Program Folder\Program.exe" -restore
each can have their own clock speed set

how to reduce noise in front cam?

In almost all roms i tried, either the front cam is too blurred or just the right sharpness but contains too much noise. Is there any way to resolve this?
Add these lines in your build.prop :
# Increase camera's photo and video recording quality
ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=8000000
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps=8000000
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.fps=65
# Better Flashlight intensity and camera-flash quality
ro.media.capture.flash=led
ro.media.capture.flashMinV=3300000
ro.media.capture.torchIntensity=40
ro.media.capture.flashIntensity=70
ro.media.capture.maxres=8m

Solved: Trying to change Window Animation Scale Entries while building

Hi all,
By default in developer options these three animation scaling, Windows/Transition and Animator have .5/1/1.5/2/5/10. I am trying to add .25 and .75 among them too. After some googling I found that these values are in res/values/arrays.xml file in settings package. So I modified and added these values to it. I was expected to get default values in there but there were none, not in rr_array or cm_array. So I added them in arrays.xml and when it didn't work later in rr_arrays.xml but that didin't work too. Build was fine but these values didn't change.
I have also added
<!-- UI debug setting: scaling factor for window animations [CHAR LIMIT=25] -->
<string name="window_animation_scale_title">Window animation scale</string>
<!-- UI debug setting: scaling factor for transition animations [CHAR LIMIT=25] -->
<string name="transition_animation_scale_title">Transition animation scale</string>
<!-- UI debug setting: scaling factor for all Animator-based animations [CHAR LIMIT=25] -->
<string name="animator_duration_scale_title">Animator duration scale</string>
in strings.xml or rr_strings or cm_strings but again to no avail. So I know that these values have to be somewhere but searching in all arrays or xml files I can't seem to find these values so I can modify and add these values. Can anyone help me to find them or guide me to proper way.
Thanks.
Edit:
Strings were in SettingsLib..
