Root [MOD] LOTS of Build.prop edits!

[cashmonkey]

hmm... everything should be showing up now. Try clearing your market cache and data, reboot the phone, then do *#*#CHECKIN#*#* from the dialer. Then check the market again.


Also I would like to add, that battery is AMAZING for me now. Anyone else?

I tried that and my market still doesn't work, I think.

I can see the apps, but I think stuff is still missing. For example, when I search for USBank, I only see 3 things. In the past I was able to get results of up to 10.

I followed your directions and still same thing

...because 32m is a magic number? Because the phone doesn't handle larger allocations well? Why would very few apps being open that simply have a higher cap on used memory cause problems? Logically, since not all of the memory is allocated immediately, whether the cap is 32mb of 60mb, the system will show the same amount of memory usage while those apps are not using higher than the 32mb cap. Shouldn't this actually be pretty variable depending on usage in terms of what will actually provide the best performance? If you run many long-lived apps, you will probably see worse performance increasing it than if you run a few memory intensive apps.

Not trying to be obstinate but I am usually pretty disinclined to accept things at face value without some good reason

My only reason is that in cyanogenmod 6, they included three options for you 28,30 and 32. 30 was by default

Thats my only reasoning, if you want to run it at 40 go ahead

I'm really about to pull my hair out here. I've used the build.prop with the market fix and I still can't find desktop visualizer

Are you actually pushing a build.prop, or doing it yourself? And which method are you using?

So, I was curious about the Dalvik heap size mod. My phone is not very modified, it is rooted and I removed most of the crap apps like Blockbuster etc. that came with it.

I set it the heap size, and rebooted the phone. Waited 3 minutes to allow it to come to a stable state, and ran Quadrant 6 times in a row. I did not disable or modify anything to improve my scores, it is just as I carry the phone every day. I had a strong 3G connection during this time so any polling done by widgets or whatever should finish quickly and not affect a lot of the tests. These are not the be-all, end-all of tests, I am just reporting my curiosity in a somewhat controlled way.









Given the couple low values on the first round and the incredible consistency of further tests, I'd say we aren't helping our quadrant scores. From the initial comments in this thread it looks like it just gives a larger memory space for individual apps, so I think I'm going to leave it on 40m for a little while and see if I notice a difference, especially in things like the browser where I frequently open many tabs.

Dalvik Heap size edits are more of a stability thing. and its only a 2m edit. Going higher, probably isn't going to help, and may actually hurt.

Are you rebooting after changing the build.prop file?

 

[xclr82xtc]

all you guys need for the build.prop is to pull your old one off, mod everything listed here, and put it back on. then the market will work right.

The market will work fine the way it is with these build.props. These mods are included in roms that are put out to thousands of people. People here either arent doing it correctly, or are not rebooting their phone before posting and complaining.

Sorry guys, if you dont like it, dont use it.

I'll say again, over 4000 downloads, and only 6 or 7 people complain. I'd say odds are, those 6 or 7 people... have done something incorrectly.

Everyone else, I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the donations, it means a lot to me right now and I appreciate it.

clearing market data and cache then a reboot seemed to have cleared up my issue. thanks

Updated OP with new edits. Enjoy guys

Just edited my screen delay, hope this works like it should, I find that annoying too. I just make so few phone calls that I never think about it.

I really need to quit being so lazy and start going through code and finding my own tweaks.

 

[jbass350z]

This barely helped my quad score. I was at 1367 after removing bloatware, and now I am at 1386.

How are you guys getting near 1500 ?

Thanks for these mods lex. I see in Quadrant system info that the lcd refresh rate is 68Hz. Can we assume this would be the ceiling for the windowsmgr event setting? I've changed that setting to 68 and can't say that I see a difference; will need to switch it back and forth and compare. Anyone else notice smoother app drawer/list scrolling with 68?

Man you guys. lol Stop editing stuff that you dont know what it is! At least research it first!

Time to add a disclaimer I see.

Anyway, you most likely wont notice an increase taking that value over 60. From the RESEARCH i've done, it seems 60 is the going rate

Good luck guys.

Now THATS what I like to hear! Good habit to be in. Some of you guys should take note!

Nandroids are your friend

 

[BuTbKa]

Let me ask you... When I do full nandroid restore (system, data, etc) is it wiping data and system complete, and then restores? Or just rewrite staff on top of what you have at moment. In other words, is nandroid restore is same as .sbf, root, upgrade to 2.2 and then restore?
In my blackberry days before installing new OS or hybrid I always wiped phone first.

I would always suggest doing a wipe before a restore. It might not always be necessary, but its better safe than sorry.

 

[LexusBrian400]

I just wanted to let everyone know that these will all be available via Rom Manager within the next day or two as update.zip's.

 

[pinhead875]

The updated build.prop link at the end of your OP is not working for me.

 

[Kamilli0n]

I think mediafire is down. Looking for a build.prop with a market fix. Can anyone link me to one?

 

[mruno]

mediafire is down for me too. would like updated file with lcd density

Rom manager has it..

 

[mruno]

need premium version of rom manager for the updated tweaks

I've asked Koush to change that so free users can get it. I'm sure this was done for a reason

I'm sure he'll change it so free users can get it tomorrow.
