Tweaks for build.prop? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to get tweaks for the build.prop? I can't find any thread for the NS. I mostly want a tweak for touchscreen responsiveness and some battery tweaks if possible.

youre not going to find any. you can change your screen resolution, or maybe some data speed tweaks..

Yeah or rom toolbox offers some as well

nice!
by why was your screen not that responsive in the first place?
if you use the ondemand governor, and set the sampling rate to 15000 and up threshold to 98, ui gets a speed boost.

Sometimes I would have to tap twice on an icon to get it open.. Could be that I was taping too quick before the page could load? idk. But it seems better now. It wasn't thaaaat bad though.

data speed tweaks have got me nothing . maybe worse sometimes

[REQ]Undervolted kernel for G1?

Recently, I have seen the undervolted kernel for Nexus One which makes the battery spell longer.
Can anyone modify it for G1?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634587
Look on the app market, dude. There are like 5 apps\widgets to do that EXACT same thing. Nothing has to be ported.

They actually don't do the exact same thing... My kernel is undervolted, not underclocked. Theres a difference. Undervolted uses less power at the same speeds, underclocked just drops the clockspeed.
interesting
This is interesting... I'd like to see this happen

The one he linked for the Nexus is the one I made.
I don't think its possible for the G1/MT3g/CLIQ unfortunately.

In other words all 72XX lack this ability correct?
But the new Armv7 should be capable like the Droid,legend,devour,etc.
You can lower the vdd for 528MHz, but the next jump down makes it so low that the phone would immediately crash.

So we can lower it but not up it for the overclock?
Also, can we lower it at the lower speeds? (I have mine set up to underclock when the battery is low, when the screen is off, etc. so a lower VDD (if stable) would be great.

How feasible is it to underclock the phone even further than the 128 MHz?
personaly , i dont see a huge advantage to underclocking past what we got now, undervolting.... nah,
@ sleep mine atleast has virtualy no background processes.
and even on a heavy use day, cell standby shows up as my largest drain.
you want much better battery life, id say look into hacking the radio on it.

CPU Tuner - Battery Saver

Guys, look that...it seems to be nice...I installed and im still testing...Some users said this app helps to increase the battery life in almost 25%....I liked the UI also, is very very nice...

Need to change...By the way...I notice the phone become a quiet slow with this app...
same here, I cannot change settings, however, I do not find apps running slower or the whole sys response got worse
There is no way a cpu tweak can save you anywhere near 25% ...
The screen uses about 80-95% of the battery even with a 1.2ghz overclock cpu doesn't make near that much of a difference...

It's funny because I thought the screen was a new technology super battery-saver lol and it's clearly not
However, the Wave who have 0.7 smaller screen but the same technology have a battery like 3x times better.
the difference? the os. I'm pretty sure the problem comes from the Android and nothing else.
I would second android being the culprit....considering most of us are running leaked 2.2 battery management has not been fully implemented. I had great battery life on jh3 and jh7...... but I would never go back to eclair to get better battery life. The epic is starting to get.official froyo and I read that Canada should start seeing froyo this week......all we need is for att to get on the ball and Samsung to release their source code

hey guys,
does anyone have an older version of this app. It used to work great for me, but with the latest updates it has not performed as well.
thanks.
Actually the 1.0.1 version is really good. Here is a guide how to use it:

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I haven't tried it yet. But if I understand what it is by the name I don't think it will help that much. Android OS already changes frequency based upon usage. You can see these percentages in the Android System Information app. For example, mine reads as follows:
1000.0 MHz 3.19%
800.0 MHz 6.49%
400.0 MHz 5.5%
200.0 MHz 9.58%
100.0 MHz 75.13%

Improve gaming fps

Is there a way to increase fps in games, for example on FIFA it's normally smooth but when you get in side the box and there lots players around it lag like hell. I'm using endy 3.4

1. Overclock... increase your clock speed from whatever you have to 300-400 MHz more.
2. Undo any undervolting that you've applied.
3. Set the v6 supercharger profile to aggressive or insane
4. Change IO scheduler to SIO
5. Turn off the internet (both Wifi and Mobile Data) and sync when you're playing.
Do this without being sceptical... first try it out and then report back if it made any difference. See if that helps.

Well, in that case, i think you should just flash Reaper and see if Sense was the problem... See if you get a performance boost with a lighter ROM.
You could also give chainfire 3d a go. Never tried it myself though
yeah install reaper ,oc to 1.2gig+,install chainfire pro and you should see a good improvement
Imho chainfire 3d doesn't give any performance boost, it's more of a compatibility tool. In some cases games run even better without it.
Ahhh... screw this. Just go out to the field and play real football man!
Amen to that brother.
Or buy a beer. Beer is always good.

it does if you select reduce textures.
Oh yeah. Actually You're right. The downside could be game looking much worse, but I actually noticed some improvement back in the past on one of games.

[ROOTMOD] Kernel Adjustments v1 [STICKYME]

I've taken the liberty to root my GS4 and have some time spent on tweaking kernel parameters.
For these settings you need to be rooted and have downloaded a kernel tweaking app, such as Trickster Mod.
I believe these settings should make some pretty significant changes to your experience.
Follow the screenshots for the configurations:
Any heat issues?

Still testing. I am charging the device now and I'll report later but i'm guessing hardly anything noticeable.
Thanks for the post!
I am however curious about the use of ZRAM as this phone should easily have enough built in RAM to where that is not needed..
ZRAM generally gets used when a system is RAM deficient.. ZRAM will also be noticeably slower than using the built in RAM as well...
Looking forward to you reporting back..

I think you may be confused about ZRAM.
ZRAM is used for swapspace instead of placing the swap on the "disk" it is placed in RAM for a performance boost.

I don't think I am confused... Why use swap space for RAM when this phone already has plenty?
Then again, I may be confused..

Going to give this a shot for a little while.

This mod has reduced stutter and sputter by like 90% on my device. Will keep pushing it.
Thanks. Really seems to help alot on mine. I did leave the min cpu at default speed though.:thumbup:
Only downside is that after reboot you have to change the settings again.

Indeed. Just hit the menu capacitive button to get to the menu pictured below:
Your menu looks so different in terms of the interactive controls... I have none of those values or menus but an even longer list.
Why does your say you have power savings enabled? Why not turn power savings completely off? I still run my galaxy for like 2 days with Music playing like an 8 hour day.
Been running this since last night..
I am not really noticing any difference but will keep testing..
Disclaimer:
I already had 101 apps / processes frozen, animations set to zero, force GPU enabled and am using a different launcher. I think most, if not all, of my lag was done away with by doing that..

On the general settings, after you've selected interactive you have to hit the check mark on upper right. Then click governor control at the bottom, you should see the interactive settings.
Cant wait to find out what settings gives best battery life and performance.
Yeah. Gotta keep hitting that check mark or nothing takes.

Does anyone here have overclocked Nexus 5?

I was wondering if any of you overclocked your device and why, did it help you and do you use it on daily basis? I was thinking to oc my phone but for me it seems that overclocking is pretty pointless.
I did over clock, ive also disabled two cores and left two overclocked. I now under clock slightly to save battery as lollipop is much faster so I don't need to over clock and if I use an aosp ROM there is little lag with good battery life. I think over clocking is pointless unless gaming and that's coming from an over clock addict lol.
It's pointless except if you're benchmarking.
During intensive tasks other than benchmarking, it's even more pointless, as it will hit thermal throttle/shutdown even faster.

2.2GHz is already plenty enough. If it does not feel smooth then it's because your kernel's CPU governor doesn't make the CPU go up to 1.7GHz-2.2GHz enough. This is something you can tune yourself.

Same thing, 2256MHz is the only 2.2/2.3GHz step on the Nexus 5.
If it is already smooth, it won't make anything smoother, it will just use up battery.
The nexus speed is more than enough for me ?? , no need for overclocking
