Does Build.prop matter anymore for speed

This past July 2010 I spent alot of time changing my Build.Prop settings to try and get better speeds.
currently im using the CM6.1 variants and am happy with my speeds.
Being on the rogers network are there any prime settings that we should be using for stable and fast speeds.
feel free to post any modified settings you are currently using and the provider that services you.

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8 see Wikipedia on categories for HSPA (Cat 8 = 7.2 Mbit/s)
ro.ril.hsupa.category=5 see Wikipedia on categories for HSPA (Cat 5 = 2.00 Mbit/s)
ro.ril.hsxpa=2 HSDPA/HSUPA
ro.ril.gprsclass=12 Class 12 : 5 slots : 32 - 48 kbps upload / 32 - 48 kbps download
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.a53=1 enable stronger ciphering on 3G
ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask=4294967295
ro.ril.htcmaskw1=14449
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1 adds the 3G prefix to the operator name (3G T-Mobile D)
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1 enable "dual transfer mode" on EDGE networks; requires
different GPRS class setting. Only set this to 1 if your network allows simultaneous transfer of Circuit switched (CS) voice and Packet switched (PS) data over the same radio channel (ARFCN).

debug.sf.hw=1 - I'm not sure, but it was forced hardware acceleration
ro.product.multi_touch_enabled=true - as it says, enabled MT
ro.product.max_num_touch=2 - limit MT to 2 fingers
ro.compcache.default=24 - size of compcache
dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m - dalvik heap size
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit - enabled dalvik jit compiler
ro.opengles.version=65537 - Open GL ES 1.1, you need updated libGLES_qcom.so
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast - standard dalvik compiler (jit off)

GPS conf question...

Below is my gps conf file. Is there anything I can do to alleviate the 10 minute lock on?

What ROM are you running? I get 3-6m locks in under a minute on CM 7.2.0 without even touching the gps.conf file.

I'm running Tsugi 11-28 roll up.

I added the google supl settings, and it worked like a charm.

I had to change my supl host to supl.google.com After the first lock which took a few minutes, it locks within 5 seconds now as long as I have clear view of the sky.
Here is my gps.conf

Could you be a little more specific as to exactly which settings you added/changed? I'm a little confused, because in your original post you already had "SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com" in the gps.conf you quoted. Thanks.
More generally, what is the relationship between what is shown in the "GPS Test" system settings you get to from the hidden menu and what's in gps.conf? I changed the system settings via the hidden menu, but /etc/gps.conf is still the original version.

I went into the hidden menu and in SUPL settings, I added the info about google supl servers that is listed in my conf.

Ah, okay; thanks for the clarification.

A quick followup on this: I had done that numerous times with various supl servers, including Google's, on previous ROMs with little or no effect. I did it again last night and just got a 14-second TTFF this morning! That's the first time that's ever happened (after allowing a suitable delay to let the data expire to ensure that I was not getting a hot fix from the previous fix). The only differences from what I had done before were: 1) used port 7276 instead of 7275; 2) set the SuplCert path; 3) used the Tsugi ROM (previous attempts were with Froyo and Gingerbread stock ROMs).
I'm not sure what, if anything, is significant in those differences or if this speed-up will persist, but I've never gotten a warm fix in less than 60 seconds before, with most taking 2-3 minutes, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

How do I get to the hidden menu?

Depends on the ROM you are using. You dial 1809#*xxx#, where "xxx" represents the model number of the phone: 999 for stock ROMs, 95 for ROMs based on the leaked 2.3.4 Tracfone ROM like Tsugi. That brings up the "hidden menu," which has a "GPS Test" command. If you wander around in the System Settings, you'll find the places to set the supl server, etc.

If the phone code does not work for you because your on a custom rom that doesn't support phone codes on the dialer do this
Download Anycut from market
Long press home screen Shortcuts -> Any Cut -> Activity -> HiddenMenu
You now have a shortcut to hiddenmenu ^_^

Did you flash the latest baseband and ril?

Prestigio PAP4040 Stuck in roaming

All,
First of all thanks for opening this up, I have a Prestigio Dual Sim PAP4040 DUO device here, which is stuck in Data roaming. I have confirmed the APN settings, and have tried restarting the device, and well all the standard stuff. Disabling mobile network on the device, still does not stop the signal bars displaying "R".
The version of android is 4.0.4 ICS
Kernel: 3.0.13 [email protected] #1
Build: 20121101.V1.0.10
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Are you by any chance on a Virtual Network such as Tesco Mobile? If so you'll always have the R !

It turns out we are on orange, which since the network rebranded to EE, this has been a side effect. The correlation between the roaming symbol and the internet connectivity issues I had made, but really it was a simple mistake in the APN settings on the device.
Thank you though for everyone who spent a bit of their time thinking about this.
Appreciated.

Voice over wifi?

While I was poking around for hotspot settings I found some voice over wifi settings that are set to turned off. Does anybody know if these would work on sprint if turned on? Also, ithink this is popular on tmobile but how would I even know if it were fully enabled and working when I turn it on?

Go into airplane mode, then turn wifi on and try to make a call.

No dice, phone says cannot call in airplane mode, is there a special app that is usually used to make calls over wifi?

Nope. That should've worked if it truly were the setting for WiFi calling I believe.

Where exactly is this setting at? If it's anything like the Note 3, you have to have Sprint manually enable it in your account. It's an option for them to enable.

What app did you use to make calls over wifi on the Note 3?

You hafta go to Sprint.com and enable it, but you can't yet because it's not available for our device. I'm willing to bet that by the summer we will have an update to enable it.

Modded GPS.conf [need ROOT]

This is a GPS.conf script inside the CM, after i had problem with GPS, i learn very basic GPS
i mod this script to optimize the locking speed for Device only GPS mode, and optimize AGPS for LTE network,
Please try and report if its work for you
replace the GPS.conf in system/etc/gps.conf with this :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/94gqm8r1n7msrz4/gps.conf?dl=0
or edit the GPS.conf in editor mode and paste this script (dont forget to back up the old file) - save

I did also experience some difficulties with the GPS accuracy in the past. I did test all the settings above and they work, but there is no/little deference.
The last stable MIUI 7.5 version 7.5.4.0 does not have problems any more.

It usually takes very long time to lock with that setting, but once u locked, it'll be much faster on next use
