MOD Build.Prop for Devs UPDATE: improved 7/17/11

So im sure many dev's know about the build.prop tweaks including krylon and drhonk(they just didnt have a phone to test on) so i took the liberty into modifying my own build.prop which is also in my team's rom ICBINB
im posting this build.prop for other devs or noobies to grab and look at
what ive noticed is that the values for the "sweet spot" on our phone are much different then those on other phones samsung and HTC
This is a performance mod/tweak and can turn any rom into an extremely smooth rom, basically this is ONE of the few secrets that make the ICBINB rom soo smooth but since i love our community ill release it so you can enjoy any rom with the smoothness of ICBINB
IF YOU USE ANY OF TEAM ACIDS MOD'S BE SURE TO GIVE CREDIT TO TEAM ACID ESPECIALLY THIS MOD, it WAS an ACID secret, and could have been kept secret so please be respectful of others people's work
*sigh* hope you guys dont just ditch my rom :/ LMAO!
be sure to hit thanks if its helped you
UPDATE: requested, i have made a modified build.prop for the GB users, note though that i have not tested it for GB so this was blind building however there should not be any proplems if there are let me know, you can either flash the GB rom then flash the performance zip or flash the GB rom and use a file explorer with root access to push the file manually, WHOEVER USES IT LEMME KNOW HOW IT WORKS PLEASE
UPDATE: i have found an even sweeter spot for the sgs4g, pleas enjoy even smoother, more fast and better battery saving qualities with the newly updated build.prop
If you had my low OC settings from ICBINB be aware they might cause the phone to freeze with this new build.prop im looking for new values now

Ooh! Awesome! So this can actually be used with other ROMs? Thanks a bunch dsexton702!

"Different hardware" is not the whole story. Look at LinuxBozo's Galaxy ROM Hellraiser Beta9. A user managed to flash Samsung based Captivate/Vibrant ROMs (obviously, you've got to "make sure it's Samsung Gingerbread based" {-LinxBozo}).

Much of the ui can be ported. But I don't know if using the whole rom while adding infuse libs has been tried or is likely to work. I think there are just too many differences. But if you feel motivated then try it. Start pulling in libs and bins from infuse roms and make sure you have the unbrick package ready. But remember to use an infuse kernel and modem.

I actually want to try it someday. The only problem is that I'm still not too savvy on this, so I don't know anything about pushing libs and bins and everything else. Flashing the kernel and modem, I have no problem with. It's the other files I have to get together... Oh well.

That's because the Infuse hardware is much closer to the I9000/Captivate than to the GS2.

Hmm... Interesting. I tried SensatioN with Hellraiser yesterday, and I had some info on the "about phone" section (don't remember if I had it all), and that modem and tweak setup, I'm gonna have to give it a try. I'm currently in stock because, yesterday, I was feeling defiant and tried to flash a JVS ROM from the i9000 forum with Hellraiser, as opposed to a JVQ, and ended up in an eternal bootloop. I was a bit tired so I just returned to stock and went to sleep. I'm gonna see if I give it a second try today in the afternoon. And also, I don't know why, my SensatioN was lagging a bit. I should've rebooted my phone a couple of times (instead of immediately making a call after rebooting the first time) to create some stability. I might give it a second try later today. I'll let you know how it goes. (I'm feeling sooo defiant this week. I WANT to make a JVS/JVR ROM work. All the JVQ ROMs I found, weren't very appealing, or were left in the dust by the devs.) lol

I had the same problem so went to the i9000 sensation and no problems worked beautifully very nice rom
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

I give up. I tried to flash a JVS ROM by flashing a stock JVS i9000 ROM, and flashing two other .zip files, then Hellraiser, but, one of them, CWM would abort every time I tried to flash it, so it got stuck in bootloop also. I'm gonna try SensatioN one more time. If I fail to make it work again, I'm going to stick to Infused. I hope someone manages to port SGSII ROMs for Infuse I really want to get my hands on one.

U and me both. Have u tried the ported dlev rom? I flashed hellraiser beta 9 on top of it. Probably my favorite rom out right now fast responsive awesome battery life. Give it a shot if u haven't already.

Rom Help!

What is the best rom out their that has less bloatware nd is smooth nd everything works good and doesnt mess up I just neeed that rom can anyone help me I read and read nd I cant find it help please
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

If you want an almost stock ROM but with buttery smoothness tweaks, then I suggest ICBINB.
If you want extra features not included with stock roms, and smoothness tweaks and so on, then valhalla is for you.
If you dig music, I guess audiophile roms is what you should go for.

I can't speak to gingerbread. But on Froyo if you want stock then go with ICBINB. For more customization I would susgest Audiophile Redux.

I just did this yesterday and now I'm running Valhalla 1.3.2. It's a pretty cool ROM. I guess there's always a risk, but if you follow the steps it's pretty hard to mess anything up.

Is the gb good though?

The only thing that I miss from Froyo is the wifi signal. But besides that, GB is better.
If you don't feel confident enough to upgrade to GB then don't do it. Unless you really want to learn, it's easy to do it, hard to mess up, but only if you are aware of the risks involved and really need a gingerbread feature that froyo is lacking.
Other than that, froyo is a good ROM.
Another thing is that an official GB update might be coming soon, or that's what we're all hoping for. All these leaks over the last few months only mean that samsung team is working hard getting GB ready for this device.

Its hard for me idk what guide to even follow and I dnt even know half the crap.they are sayn u know .. I want gb cause it will make my phone smoother .. and fasteer and this frroyo laggs alot and it pissses me offf!
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

i think it's fairly simple.
1. backup your SD card, you will lose your data otherwise if you follow these steps.
2. Go to download mode
3. Get KG4 ROM from the development forums.
4. Connect the phone to the computer, use ODIN provided by the rom to flash it. (KG4 forum post should have instructions on how to do that).
5. After that, flash drhonk kg4 kernel, which gives you CWM (again, use odin, there should be instructions on the forum post).
6. Boot into CWM, go to advanced, partition your sd card, 1024 and swap 0. That gives your sd card 2 partitions, one for regular data, and another for ext4 backups, so you won't get problems with ext4 conversions. Also, get to main menu of CWM, go to voodoo, and disable it. For now. Reboot.
7. Now, at this point, you have GB and it should all be working fine. Now you just need to download the latest ROM you want to flash. I recommend either ICBINB or Valhalla 1.3.2. Put the ROM on your SD card.
8. Boot into CWM, go to install zip from sdcard, choose the zip file and let it install.
9. After that, make sure voodoo is still disabled, and reboot. Let the phone idle for a few minutes, while the new ROM gets settled.
10. After that, reboot into CWM again, enable voodoo. Reboot. You'll hear a robot (Linda) talking you through the ext4 voodoo lagfix conversion. All should go fine. If you get bootloops after that, just go into CWM again and disable it.
11. Why are you still reading these steps, that was all
You shouldn't have any problems with ext4 voodoo. If for some odd reason you do, then just disable it and ask someone in the forums. It's not the end of the world if you can't enable voodoo, it'll still be a damn good phone.
Good luck.

ICBINB KJ1 is the fastest smoothest ROM I've used, and the wifi issue everyone complains about really isn't an issue. Sure it shows weak signal, but there really isn't a difference in connection speed.
And any remaining bloatware is easy to get rid of with titanium backup.

Is this the right mod for my SGH-T959? HERE
If so I had trouble installing it. I'm not sure what method works. The only method that worked so far is here [[Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011]] But its not the Rom I wanted.. I want to install the latest cyanogenmod

Nope. If it's a t959 you have a vibrant. Go to the proper forums for your phone. Look under your battery for the model number.
if it's a t959v then yes you're in the right forums.

Hi Jules,
In order to use voodoo lagfix, you'll need to install one of the kernels that have that ability. I personally suggest using bhndven's
[KERNEL][UVKJ6][BETA3] Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix [12/19/2011]. Just follow the install instructions on his page. It's a great kernel, has the latest CWM (which fixes an issue with GB ROMs not being able to mount/unmount the /system partiton), root, and voodoo lagfix in it.
Once you've installed it, reboot into CWM recovery (either use an app like quick boot, or you have to power down the phone, hold down the volume up, volume down, & power keys, then release the power key after the "Galaxy S" screen gets a bit brighter), go to the voodoo menu, and ensure "voodoo lagfix" is enabled and "/system lagfix" is enabled.
As for the debloater (check my signature for the link), literally, go read FB's page about it. It takes you to a site, you select what you want to remove, it creates a .zip file you download, put it on your sdcard, then flash it from within CWM.

Tnx dude.

The link for bhundven's kernel installs CWM as part of the kernel. If you follow the instructions on his page you'll be fine. He writes good stuff
The only other way I know to install it on Gingerbread is to install one of drhonk's kernels in the dev section. Using the one I mentioned is easier & is the current version of CWM.
