been playing around with build.prop tweaks today. here's some that i have had good results with:
setting dalvik to 64
yes, that's high, but, switching screens on the homescreen has been a lot smother. you may have some issues with smaller apps, if so, try a lower setting. stock is 42, 48 may work good if you have a lot of smaller apps.
i also added these, so far so good, no problems. these are older tweaks, but they seem to be working here, but it's hard to tell
Code:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
locks home in memory
Code:
ro.media.enc.JPEG.quality=100
makes pics display at 100% quality
Code:
debug.sf.hw=1
enables hardware rendering of UI and home
take caution when editing build.prop. the file is located /system
do not delete or change anything else if you don't know what you're really doing.
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
Disables the boot animations

Do you know if that works with 3rd party launchers (i.e. is HOME_APP whatever is linked to the home button, not hard coded to the moto home app)?
Wow, nice work guys. Quick question, does disabling the boot animation = faster boot time.

Not sure. You will still have the android boot animation. You just won't have the AT&T boot animation

I tried using the these settings and it bricked my phone. Just FYI for anyone thinking of trying them out.
I think it has to do with the hardware rendering setting, because when I boot the video is very distorted and slow. It then goes black and vibrates every few seconds and I can't get it back. Restore to factory default was no help at all.
Any thoughts on how I might get this thing running again?
here's the stock build.prop
if the device will power on, extract it from this zip and try to adb push it to /system
not sure how these settings would brick your phone though. are you sure you added them to build.prop and not default.prop? did you change anything else in build.prop?
Yeah, I only added the options listed in the forum post, and didn't change anything else.
The first thing I tried was shelling into the phone using adb, but it didn't work at all in the state the phone was in. After restoring to factory defaults I was able to boot and get the initial setup screen for the phone where it asks you to add your email accounts, etc., but when clicking "done" the app would crash and restart effectively locking me out of the phone.
I'm assuming the crash is because I de-bloated the phone previously, and maybe it's missing a system library? Who knows.
In any case it looks like I may be taking a trip to the AT&T store

Thats odd. A factory restore would have overwritten any changed files and added any missing apks from /system

Did you use a text editor on the phone or on a computer? If you use one that word wraps it will fubar the whole thing.
Here's a list of build.prop tweaks I found searching around, I haven't tried any myself yet, but hey, the more the merrier, right?

i used an on the phone editor. windows editors will wreck it, linux editors are fine with build.prop though. not sure what the member who bricked his phone used.
I just tested the boot animation setting with a stopwatch and it's pretty much the same time one way or the other.

I did in fact use my phone to edit the build.props file (instead of using adb shell). I used the text editor feature of root explorer. I didn't notice the text wrap on the screen or anything like that when I was typing. I suppose that could've been the culprit.

root explorer is fine, that wasn't your problem. i use root explorer as well. i think that either something else was changed, or something else is the problem.

That's one thing I hope can be modded once the bootloader gets unlocked. My X10 showed the contact pics the top 1/3rd of the screen and the quality was very good, would be nice to see something similar on this phone.

Exactly its annoying to have these great pics and when that person calls me it looks like crap not necessarily a huge deal but something I would like to see
This is starting to really frustrate me now!
When applying a background to my phone, weather it be from the Gallery or integrated wallpapers, sometimes it will jump around on the homescreen. For example I will be in an app, press the home button and on going to the home screen the wallpaper will momentarily zoom in then zoom back out to normal. As this is happening the phone has excessive lag.
I've tried to isolate the issue, thought it might be a bad factory reset but my sister is over this weekend and hers is the same! it doesn't happen when running any applications in particular, it's literally random but when it starts doing it it will keep doing it. Restarting the phone doesn't fix.

I should know this but been out of the game for a long time, how do I go about getting a logcat? Managed to get a video of it, just transferring it to my phone now.
I heard someone else mentioning they were having these issues, they put it down to an update with google Search, however google Search has since been updated and the issues are persisting.

It's all good. First you'll need adb to be installed. I usually run adb on ubuntu, so I'm not experienced with windows commands.
On ubuntu. open terminal, connect phone, make sure usb debugging is enabled. You'll probably recieve a warning about an RSA fingerprint, which you will accept. Then in terminal, do
sudo su
adb start-server
now cd into whatever directory you want to store your logcat in
Once in the directory, run "adb logcat -v long > wallpaper.txt"
Reporduce the problem
Kill the logcat
Open the text file that was created
Either upload the file or pastebin it and post the link
Done!

Doesn't that require root? Not 100% how to do that though, I used to be pretty good with ADB but unfortunately that was back in the Desire days and I've not really been into rooting since I got my HOX last year I change devices too much. Anyway, here is the video documenting the issue.

And you said your entire family is experiencing this? Ok go to about phone and tap Build Number a bunch of times. Should activate dev settings. Just see if you can get adb to work at all. I'm not certain whether it requires root or not. It confuses me that your family all has this problem, but it hasn't been reported by the rest of the Nexus 5 users around the world...

Well I have to go out right now but I will try when I get back in. I'll do a Google Search and see if i can find how to.
You could try wiping data for your Home launcher. Just go to Settings/ Apps then swipe to " All" tab and open Google Search. Wipe its data and it will reset your launcher to default. See if it still persists.
I'd say it's because the launcher wasn't designed to have many additional screens as shown.
Looks like it's redrawing the launcher after leaving and returning to it.
Try getting rid of the extra home screens and retest.

that's alright, I was just stating what I had read else where.?
My phone phone was doing this, but I figured out that it was an issue with how you zoom or place the wallpaper when applying it. When I applied with zedge, it was causing problems. Are you using a 3rd party app to find and apply wallpapers? Try switching by long-pressing a blank area on your home screen, and hitting wallpaper.

I actually just managed to replicate it. To fix it, try this... First select one of the stock wallpapers that came with the phone, using the stock method I mentioned above. Then test, your problem should be 100 percent gone. Then go to change your wallpaper back to the one you want, but do NOT select it from where it is on the bottom bar. Hit 'pick image' and then choose the wallpaper you want. Before you hit the check mark in the upper left hand corner, make sure the wallpaper is centered and fully zoomed out. That should fix it.

Try to remember if you have installed an application these last weeks. Maybe this cause the problem. Also if you're using Good Lock's lock star apk check your lock screen wallpaper setup or uninstall it.

Did you ever figure this out? It's doing it to me as well. I can't find an answer anywhere, I'm about to factory reset my phone.
When I first got it, it showed the wallpaper fine. After about a week I noticed it was only showing it very infrequently.
Static and "animation" wallpapers work, but not "video" wallpapers like those included with the phone or ones downloaded through the galaxy store.
That issue has disappeared after upgraded firmware and then restored my backup

I solved it on my phone.
It turns out that I had used an ADB command to push the gesture hints bar off the screen (Galaxy S20+).
Code:
./adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-42
It's the easiest, best trick ever, because it gives you the full screen but also doesn't have the negative effect of using the option to hide it in the actual settings which causes you to need to swipe in an arch to change apps instead of just swiping left and right. I had to revert it by using the same command but changing the -42 back to a 0.
Well, as the title says, everytime I pick up my phone I feel a little vibration (and no, I don't have the "smart alert" thing turned on). I tried not to be worried about it but I can't not notice it. Any ideas?

May be you guys should try turning off the setting and restart, if that doesnt solve the problem go to recovery mode and clear cache. Let us know if any of that works.
On a side note: I have been facing weird ass issues with this phone just today my phone wont go to mute by using volume key while receiving a call. Like someone calls you and your phone is ringing, you just want to silence the ringtone you can use volume key (Press once), Flip the phone or put your palm over it (If you have the settings on). I tried multiple restarts and switched on and off the settings many times. It was fixed when i restarted my phone to download mode (This happened by mistake i wanted to go to recovery) anyhow that fixed it.

Playing with Android is fun... Android witch hunts are how you really learn about Android's gooey layer tricks.
Google searches on older Notes and parallel Samsung models can turn up answers many times.
This model is too recent; so not near as much online troubleshooting info. Google searches encompass threads on this forum as well so it can be a good way to find the needle in the Android stack. Do not time limit searches.
On my 10+ with it's baffling bt poor audio I found the answer with something written about the N9.
Many of these issues are long standing.
Samsung finally fixed the bt settings issue in a Wearables update. That took years.
Only persistence is omnipotent...

It does suck some battery life though. It's one of the features I disable on my 10+ mostly because I find it annoying.
It's cool though how much you can customize notification behavior; one of the biggest reasons to go with Samsung is customization.
I play around with Settings a lot.. never crashed a load doing it. It's just occasionally gets time consuming to sort it out.
On Friday I updated my rog pgone 5 to the latest version. yesterday suddenly the fingerprint sensor stopped working, restart the factory mobile and solve it, but at 24 hours the same thing happened again.

Seems to be a common issue. A log when it happens may help to find a fix.
There is a lot of log spam to dig through, so I wasn't able to pull one on-the-fly

I have been able to solve it, I did a system erase + deactivate facial recognition + fingerprint. turn off the device, turn it on again, turn everything on again and restart. for now it works. When I charge the phone, I hope it won't happen again. (After charging the phone, it gets quite hot and the sensor stops working.)
Alright, well good luck with that.
