IMO, the 8/1/2010 leak is pretty darned nice. I took Adrenalyne's patch and added an audio fix for streaming AAC issues, and increased the VM Heap size to 32MB.

Things to note.

Pros:
1. Pandora and Slacker sound cleaner with this
2. Market sees all of my downloads, no problem. I have been able to install all my Google apps, no problem (Sky, Earth, Maps, etc.)
3. My Quadrant score 1281
4. My Linpack score 38.392

Cons:
1. Some people's m.youtube.com in the browser will not work. However, the YouTube app will stream videos fine.

No need to rename the .zip file. Just load it via clockwork.
Or, you can extract the build.prop file and push it to /system/app (remember you need to be in recovery with /system mounted.)

Hmmm, mine works. Can anyone else confirm this?

EDIT: double checked, and both the stock browser and dolphin HD stream m.youtube.com fine for me. Audio is pretty clear, too.

EDIT2: confirmed with multiple people that this will break your m.youtube.com.

 

correct. It's just an updatd build.prop file.

 

Unless Adrynalyne added in the audio fix, go for it. either way, you're not changing anything other than 3 things... two of which I know Adrynalyne put into his build.prop.

 

I kept running linpack and qudrant on 24M, probably totalled 15 times throughout the day. Then I did the same on 32M. Not scientific, but on my phone 32M seemed consistently better (marginally).

 

Of course it's anectdotal. I even stated it's not scientific. However, my linpack and quadrant scores changed (slightly) for the better with a 32M heap (all other things being equal.) By slightly, I'm talking 1-2% increase. That's not significant enough of a change to write home about.

But, I'm not losing performance in anyway, and what I have running on my phone is stable and fast.

Lastly, a quick google search results in other people trying to determine which is best.

Still, even with all this it's anectdotal. But, it's enough to show me that the slight increase in performance (realized or not while running programs) is worth the change... and there haven't been any setbacks from that change thus far.
