Tweaks, a place to start.

Recently I've been looking into the build.prop file in the /system/ directory, and after making a few modifications I feel that I have gained a little performance not only from the network, but my phone overall.
***************************
I DON'T RECOMMEND DOING THIS IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
MODIFYING THESE VALUES MAY EVEN REDUCE PERFORMANCE.
***************************
To use these values you must have an app like root explorer installed.
1. Open your explorer of choice.
2. Navigate to the /system/ directory, and mount it as r/w.
3. Make a copy of build.prop as build.prop.bak, so you can revert back to the original should you suffer any complications.
4. Open build.prop in text editor and at the bottom of the file make two lines space before adding these values so you can distinguish between these values and the normal values.
# Make UI more responsive (sweet spot is between 200 - 300)
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=300
# Dial out delay
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=0
# Disable usb debugging icon (no more exclamation mark when connected to USB)
persist.adb.notify=0
# Enable hardware acceleration
debug.sf.hw=1
# Unknown
debug.performance.tuning=1
# Unknown (won't produce error log files due to apps or system if I remember right)
logcat.live=disable
# Unknown (render graphics using hardware)
video.accelerate.hw=1
# Unknown (disables graphics dithering)
persist.sys.use_dithering=0
# Unknown (deletes unnecessary cache)
persist.sys.purgeable_assets=1
# Force launcher into memory
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
# WiFi scanning intervals (currently set at every 3 minutes)
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180
These are a few that I am using personally, but once again use these with care as you may recieve results different to what I get.
# Increase the memory of the Dalvik virtual machine
dalvik.vm.heapsize=64m
# Disable boot animation
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
I do have a few more, but the ones I'm looking at currently could go bad depending on the user/ROM, but they aren't anything too amazing, so no ones missing anything big ;-).

Also network settings to add.
These were taken from the build.prop file on the Telstra HTC Desire S RUU ROM file, and I'm finding performance a lot better than what I was getting from any of the custom ROMs, not trying to bad mouth them in saying this though.
ro.ril.oem.ecclist=112,000,911
ro.ril.enable.a52=0
ro.ril.enable.a53=0
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=10
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0
ro.ril.disable.mcc.filter=1
ro.ril.emc.mode=1
ro.ril.disable.fd.plmn.prefix=23402,23410,23411
ro.ril.enable.sdr=0
ro.ril.oem.show.act=1
ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1
ro.ril.vmail.50501=+61101
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
# Default network type WCDMA
ro.telephony.default_network=0
Once again these values work rather well on the Telstra network in Australia.

Nice post man, keep 'em coming.
Peace

Thanks for sharing this is great - although should it possibly be in the Dev section, even though you have provided a decent warning, it still has the potential to seriously destroy devices?
Also slightly concerned with the number of tweaks that are marked or commented as UNKNOWN.....I'd really like to know what these things are or at least what they're supposed to do before I attempt to implement them for my self on my device.
Although don't take this as a criticism., this is certainly the sort of stuff that I'd like to understand more.

Sorry, most of the ones marked as unknown, are mostly graphics which are normally processed by the software being moved to primarily being processed by the hardware.
I'll quickly edit now.
Added the dalvik and boot animation tweaks. Modified the post a little as well ;-).

(MOD) 108 Triumph & Hollyname B.P Tweaks (4.28.2012) Two Sweet

Ok I’m sure by now most have read the previous Op about losing half my Teeth, all in the back thank the Gods but still can’t wait until I get the fakes bolted in. Sure that will also be an awesome experience, forgot to add that I can’t take pain killers either. Anyhow I originally started working on this Mod for personal use and a means of keeping sanity. Because it ended up working out much better than anticipated I decided to share the script. Since then I have made some changes as I first have learned a little bit more and second because it has expanded beyond its original intention of being made specifically for CM7 and optimized in some areas around my own personal device configuration. Because of this I just decided to kind of give things a Reboot.
What does this Mod do you may ask? In short it just makes everything a little better and snappier! How does it go about doing these things you may ask?
In Short,
IPV4 Internet speed Tweaks,
Chainfire Touchscreen Tweaks,
Increased Cache Sizes,
Defrag Database Files On Boot,
Remove Logger,
Running fewer background Processes,
Set’s Higher Priority for App's like Phone, Launcher, Contacts, SMS, SystemUI & Camera, (Loopy Smoothness)
Two Sweet Edition Changes (04.28.2012)
Linux Laptop Tweaks for Battery Life
Ondemand, Interactive & SmartassV2 Govenor Tweaks
APK Zipalign (Already performed by most Roms but included for the few that do not)
Many more along the same lines.
Again just so it’s clear, I did not develop any of these Tweaks on my own. If any credit should go my way it would be for looking around various websites and inside ROMs for other devices, finding things that look interesting, testing on the Triumph for effectiveness, making minor adjustments if needed and then collecting them into a method that is easy to apply. This should work with just about any Rom with Init.d Support. The easiest way of determining if your Rom has Init.d support would probably be to look at the below directions. If you find an Init.d folder in the spot they say you should then your Rom supports Init.d. It would still be recommended to keep a backup handy as I am not responsible for any damage caused to anything you own.
.
Instructions (Busybox must be installed, if not, download from the Market)
1, Download 108 Triumph Script.
108 Triumph Script (04.22.2012)

108 Triumph Script Two Sweet Edition (04.28.2012)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/77cd8dzdgzmsar1/108TriumphScript2sweet
If for some reason and I noticed this with Dolphin, .txt has been added to the end of the file name after downloading .text will need to be removed or the Tweaks will not be applied. So far I have only seen this happen with Dolphin but no dots should appear in the file name and should be removed.
2, Place file on your SD-card. (USB Dropbox, doesn't matter how)
3, Use Root Explorer or Root Browser Free and move the file into system/etc/init.d folder. (Remember to hit the tab that makes the folder Read/Write as Read Only is the default setting for most File Explorers.)
Root Browser Free if you need a free File Explorer.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29969403/rootbrowser.apk
4, Give the file full Permissions.
5, Reboot! (Will take a bit longer to boot and will appear to be held up on the Motorola Logo for a bit. This is nothing to worry about, the script is running and the Tweaks are being applied.)
Clear both Caches in recovery if you have any issues. Should not be needed but have noticed that sometimes Root System Apps like SD-Booster or Auto-Killer when installed before applying the script will restore pre-script values when the restore default settings option in the App is used.
To remove these Tweaks simply delete the file and reboot. To update the file use the file explorer to delete the old version after placing the new version in the init.d folder.
Going forwarded at least for the time being the Build.prop Tweaks can be applied by using the optional Hollyname Script. This was done because to apply these Tweaks correctly as part of the 108 Script with my current knowledge would do either one of two things, permanently add these Tweaks to the Build.prop or make the script Rom specific. Because I’m trying to stay away from having the Mod make any permanent adjustment or have the willingness or time for keeping up with every version of every Rom until I figure a way around the issue they can still be easily applied without making any changes to the Build.prop by following the following.
Additional Build.Prop Tweaks (Recommended)
1, Download Hollyname Build.Prop Tweaks Script and place on SD-Card.

2, Install Script Manager Free from the market.
3, Open Script manager and select the script.
4, Select SU, Boot and then save.
5, Reboot! (All Build.prop Tweaks will now be applied during each boot unless un-selecting the option in script manager or deleting the script from the SD-Card. This will not make any actual changes to your Build.prop. Nor will it effect any properties associated with Market Access.
You Can run "getprop" in either ADB or a Terminal to confirm all current property values if not sure everything was done correctly. If so you should now see the following included among the listed properties,

[Guide+Tweaks+Mods+Scripts+Apps] (Make Most Of Your Phone Ram And Processor) UPDATED

All Tweaks And Mods Are Not Devloped By Me So The Creadit Goes To The Devlopers....
Warning:-All These Tweaks And Mods Are Tested But Try On Your Own Risk....
Make A Backup Of Your Rom Before Trying Anything...
(•1) Get more RAM and faster responses by disabling verify-bytecode!
AS WITH ANY MODDING PROCEDURE FOR YOUR PHONE, THIS GUIDE ALSO COMES WITH NO WARRANTY. I HOLDS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DIRECT AND INDIRECT CONSEQUENCES OF FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MADE A NAND BACKUP BEFORE PROCEEDING.
This is not useful in odexed ROMs & devices with 1GB or more RAM. However, this will give a performance boost in deodexed ROMs as much as odexing system & data apps. This is an alternative for odexing. It's not that you can't apply this tweak on an odexed ROM but rather, it's useless to do so.
1) Open Terminal Emulator on phone or adb shell from PC and type the following.
su
setprop dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode false
setprop dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags v=n,o=v
rm /data/dalvik-cache/*
rm /cache/dalvik-cache/*
reboot
2) Add these to the /data/local.prop or build.prop.
dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode = false
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=v=n,o=v
(Copy local.prop or build.prop to SD and edit them. Copy back afterwards. If lines starting with dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode or dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags exist already, please modify them as above. Also type following in adb shell or terminal emulator.
rm /data/dalvik-cache/*
rm /cache/dalvik-cache/*
reboot
Advantages:More free RAM.
Faster launch for system & user apps during the second launch.
Gives as much as of a performance boost as ODEX without odexing. Themer friendly.
Smoother app switching.
Disadvantages:Might break some apps.
(•2) Seeder 2.0.0 entropy generator to provide significant lag reduction
Use Seeder For Lag Reduction
Here:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987032
(•3) One click ODEXing a ROM for more RAM and better speed
Here's an alternative way to gain more RAM and performance without odexing.
Get more RAM and faster responses by disabling verify-bytecode!
This process will usually give just as much as performance boost as odexing SYSTEM and USER app.
AS WITH ANY MODDING PROCEDURE/SCRIPTS FOR YOUR PHONE, THIS SCIPT ALSO COMES WITH NO WARRANTY. AUTHOR HOLDS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DIRECT AND INDIRECT CONSEQUENCES OF RUNNING THIS SCRIPT. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MADE A NAND BACKUP BEFORE PROCEEDING. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 15% FREE ON /SYSTEM, THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF YOU RUN OUT OF SPACE THINGS WILL GO BADLY WRONG..
Requires busybox.
If your system partition is almost full, have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734236.
This script will *attempt* to odex all apks found at /system/app. Theming would be impossible once the ROM is odexed. Themes applied at the time of odexing will be preserved. If you plan on applying a theme, apply it before odexing. If you want to theme after odexing, you must deodex the ROM before theming. If you change themes often, odexing is not for you.
Quick Instructions for Windows:
Connect the phone with USB cable and enable USB debugging. (No wireless or Android Terminal shell)
Put the phone in airplane mode.
Download and extract the attached file and run odex.bat
Instructions for advanced users:
This attachment contains a folder called odex. Push that folder to data and set the permission of odex.sh to 4755. Mount system as r/w(could be done via adb remount system). Next, execute odex.sh. All of this should be done via USB using ADB shell. Do not use wireless adb or Android Terminal.
Advantages:
More free space in system partition.
Faster booting.
More free RAM(I was able to gain 20-30MB.)
Faster access to system apps.
Disadvantages:
Cannot be themed after odexing.
APK tweaks cannot be applied.
Might break some of the non-AOSP system apps such as Root Explorer if they are installed as system app.
Acknowledgments:
Only the odex.bat was created by me. Similar projects were done in past but most of the downloads are broken. So, I collected together different stuff from different places to put together this package.
adb.exe is from the RATC batch ROOT.
adb dlls are from Android SDK
odex.sh is from Paul O Brian from MoDaCo (pastebin.com/EZLWUdea)
zip, zipalign and dexopt-wrapper are from XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734236)
(•4) V6 SuperCharger +DIE-HARD Launcher
This One Is The Beat And I Think Nothing Can Beat It Takes Your Phone Flying....
What's it do?
It makes your phone FAST... super snappy with better multitasking!
It rearranges and fixes the OOM Groupings and Priorites and lowmemorykiller values.
So basically, it's a COMPLETE MEMORY MANAGEMENT FIX!
It's the ONLY one of it's kind
NO LAUNCHER REDRAWS, faster than ever, multitasking is better... why?
Because it works with the lowmemorykiller and letting it work the way it's meant to work.
Also, because of the rearrangement, it works the same on all roms!
Here Is The Link:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
(•5) Entropy Lag Reduce/DNS Speedup/Tether boost/Clean Adblock {CROSSBREESER}
What CrossBreeder Does....
1. It's a big new feature, removal of DNS lag . A lot of the lag in a lot of apps, apart from the GUI lag, is due to slow DNS querying, specially on the mobile network.
CrossBreeder now runs a caching, parallelising DNS client on the device. So now most of your DNS queries will be served from the cache and if not found, the query will be sent in in round robin fashion to multiple DNS servers including Google DNS, OpenDNS and your home router and the reply will be served to you, hot.
This speeds up network access and networked apps, like Browsers of course, and Tapatalk, Gmail and thousands of others drastically. And removes a lot of the lag where it was due to DNS querying. This will not increase your network or download speed but pages will load much faster.
This will future proof your devices as more and more apps start using HTML5 and/or reside completely as web pages or the like.
CrossBreeder now boosts your tethering connection. Client devices to your device will take advantage of the new DNS. Hence their usage is also improved! In many cases this update might even fix a broken tethering feature on your phone. So if your ROM doesn't have a working tethering support, you an try and install this update. It might magically start working!

(•6)Apps For Tweaks And All
Pimp My ROM - The only app that implements tweaks I can't do on my own and applies them well if you take the time to apply the right tweaks. You'll learn about PMR tweaks later.
Quadrant/Nenamark2 - Standard benchmarking and stress testing.
Android Tuner Pro - I don't apply any tweaks through AT, in fact I have most of ATs features disabled or hidden (my favourite aspect of AT is its customizability). However, this is the app I use most frequently throughout the tweaking and testing process. AT has incredible system monitoring features. AT allows me to actually collect data so I can objectively measure a tweaks impact on performance. It also has a great root terminal shell and script manager.
AntTek Explorer- Root file manager that is great for managing scripts. Has a built in text editor, great customizable UI, low footprint, and makes the process of enabling init.d scripts easier than other file managers. It also reminds me of nautilus and other linux file managers, which is a wonderful thing.
SDMaid Pro- Great for system cleaning and app management. During testing, whether deliberately or unintentionally, I crash my system a lot (my cpu hates me). SDMaid allows me to clean up junk system files after crashes. On average a system crash generates a couple mb of junk files (logs, etc) that I have no use for. SDMaid also clears app caches without clearing any settings or other data. I know your not supposed clear caches all the time but after all the crashes I put my system through during testing it is useful every once in a while.
LagFix Premium - Another app thats great for maintaining sdcard performance if your constantly wiping, restoring, and flashing.

[GUIDE] How to Save Battery

BATTERY TWEAKS AND TIPS
Introduction:
This is a guide that will help you save battery. After searching many forums and websites i came across a few tips that worked and a few that didn't. These tips are based on my own personal experience and therefore may not apply to everyone.
WARNING: Battery calibration is a big no-no. This can reduce your battery's life and in most cases does not work. I tried it a few times and one of my batteries went bad and had to be replaced. Also, task killers are not recommended at all. This is because android is based on a linux kernel which keeps apps running in the background by default. By killing these apps, many experts say that there is an actual decrease in battery life.
Also avoid battery saving or startup managing apps...
Apps that clear cache are ok and would not result in loss of battery life.
Remeber: do these at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage cause to your device.
TIPS
The following tips do not require you to be rooted:
1. First and foremost, you must do the obvious stuff:
- Set screen brightness low
- Turn off 3G, packet data and WIFI if not in use
-use 2G networks if you don't use data
-turn off auto-sync
-allow Wifi to sleep when the phone is asleep (Go to the Wifi settings in your phone, press the Menu Button, press advanced, press Wi-Fi sleep policy and change it to "When screen turns off")
-Uninstall unused or unwanted apps
-Remove unwanted widgets from your homescreen
2. This is a trick i have tested and has given me excellent results:
-remove your battery and take a knife or another sharp object and scrape the metal contacts with it and also scrape the metal contacts in the phone's batter compartment. This allows for the batter to be in good contact with the contacts (avoid shortage).
The following tips require you to be rooted or have experience with using ADB:
1.Unwanted Files and Apps
-It is recommended to use root explorer to delete any system apps that you do not need
-What many people seem to neglect is also clearing out the "left-behind" data files of these apps. You must clear these by finding the corresponding folder in the director /data/data with RootExplorer etc.
-After uninstalling apps I highly recommend that you clear the dalvik-cache folder and reboot.
-Many unwanted samsung apps or sync apps cause battery drainage and should be deleted.
-Remember Google is your friend, if you see an app of which you are unsure if to delete, Google it!!
2.Build Prop Tweaks
-I am unsure about how well these work but i have them in my build.prop anyway.
In rootexplorer go to the directory: /system and you will see a file called build.prop. Open that file with the text editor (Ensure the partition is mounted as RW) and add these following lines to the end of the file:
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
pm.sleep_mode=1
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180
ro.mot.eri.losalert.delay=1000
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
profiler.force_disable_err_rpt=1
profiler.force_dosable_ulog=1
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
logcat.live=disable
persist.sys.purgeable_assets=1
3. Avoid some init.d scripts
-I have no intention of bashing developers but some zipaligning and sqlite tweaks have been proven to cause battery drain. This is very unnoticeable though and if you want, you can keep those
-A ram managing tweak is highly recommended. Google "Flyon Mod" or "V6 supercharger"
these allow your phone to store apps in ram for faster access and prevents the ram from becoming overloaded.
4. Use a good CPU governer, IO Scheduler and Cpu freqencies
- These can be adjusted using apps such as: SetCPU and No-Frills
- More info about these can be found at: CLICK

Thanks for the guide! Although the knife part seemed a little too much

[MOD][UNIVERSAL][MANUAL][DOSE MODE] Deep sleep

After trying many custom ROM, i found out that not every ROM has added deep sleep mode and i have tried many mods, sometimes it works but i encountered a little bit problem, and after doing my research try to understand all the mod means, i came up to conclusion and found out something on a build prop that will totally work on my phone. I'm not a programmer in this particular fields, but my understanding of this is something explainable due to research i made. That's why i want to help very simple thing which is a very useful in saving battery juice when the phone is idle specially at night.,
1. You need to be rooted.
2. backup your build prop.
3. must have any of the following: root browser, solid explorer or any like this that can able to locate build prop, You can use also kernel Adiutor to modify the build prop without locating on the root.
Added the code to /system/build.prop
Code:
# Power_saving
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
pm.sleep_mode=1
ro.config.hw_power_saving=true
ro.ril.sensor.sleep.control=1
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=300
debug.kill_allocating_task=0
reboot after modification.
I hope it will help with you guys! God Bless!
