build.prop tweaks - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

sorry to disappoint anyone looking for any, but i was creeping on the sprint/verizon/tmobile threads and saw a few posted, anyone got any that works on our phone?

Wrong section, this should be in the questions and answers section!

Data speed improvements
I'm not really sure if any of those other tweaks are working or not but the data speed one made my crappy connection at work go from .75 download speed to 5.00! That's pretty amazing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639104

the ones in the other forums (especially t-mobile) will work on our device.

I try using ES File Manager to edit the build.prop just to change the ro.sf.lcd_density setting and I had to do a nand restore.
unless ES File Manager text editor destroy build.prop...

[Q] How to write "capacity" without stopping Update?

Hey Folks.
I'm just a beginner for Android, but have some expirience with several PC-Programming languages. Hopefully this is the right place for this Question?
The first thing I'd like to do sounds simple, but there is a point where I'm not able to find a solution.
The Quest:
I'd like to have 1%steps in akku-display. on my DEFY
What I' found until now:
There are 2 Files containing the Information!
/sys/devices/platform/cpcap_battery/power_supply/battery/capacity
there is a symlink to that file
/sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity
and the file can be found on two furthermore places:
/d/battery
/sys/kernel/debug/battery
at the same locations there is a second file : charge_counter
This is also with the named other directorys.
The file "charge_counter" contains the 1%step-value for the akku-level!
The file "capacity" contains the 10%step-value which is displayed by all the Widgeds and tools
The files in /sys/devices and /sys/class can't be changed. Even with 777 they resist any write-atempt
The files in /d/battery and /sys/kernel/debug/battery CAN changed they are 666 by default.
So the idea was just to copy the content from "charge_counter" to "capacity" if "charge_counter" change its value.
at first it seems to work! Every Value I wrote to "capacity" is present with the whole System! It changes the value in every presence of "capacity" I found. Also It changes the Batt-Widgets content, the status-bar-symbol and so on.
BUT
The Problem:
Once changed the value in "capacity" the phone doesn'd update "charge_counter" any more. Also "voltage" an some other Values in that directory will stop showing the real state!
So once I copied the value it will shown fine and than never change again until reboot.
Question: HOW can I avoid stopping the Update?
Sorry for typo ... english is not the language I usaly speak
any ideas?
This should be in the development thread. Not many have their eye on this section.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Sounds good... post in development. If we have 1% step values, must be a way to be show.
I think I can't ... hav not enough Posts here until now! Maybe someone else may post it?
"bitboy0, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:"
Leave it in this forum for now. It's related to Apps from what I understand.
Also, you won't be able to post in the Dev sections until you have 10 posts
Yes, I knew that 10-posts-thing as I red the stickys
Until now I tried to solve the "problem" without Java ... just using "Tasker" and the locale-execute-plugin ...
But I think It would be more effektive to handle that using Java? ...
It makes me sad to know: here the pro's doesn't read ...
Where the pro's are I can't write.
Excellent question!

Here you go a new thread has been create to see if someone will take on hacking the Defy to get 1% increment
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11295128
Do you think that can help ?
http://grepcode.com/file/repository...2_r1.1/com/android/server/BatteryService.java
I don't think this all is needed. I am almost sure, that it's just about editing battery stats (and maybe some others) xml's and png's in framework-res.apk. Nothing more.
edit: And maybe something in services.jar. I had it changed on X10 mini.
Battery Monitor Widget now supports Motorola Defy
Hello,
Just to let you know support for the Defy has been added in BMW (which can be download from Market).
You can follow the app thread here.
Can someone test it and let me know if it works ok, not having a Defy makes it hard for testing
By the way Defy supports need to be activated in settings / monitoring settings!
Works perfectly. Wondering if it depletes more battery.

Good question! As I don't have a Defy can't say... Last week I checked consumption and found it as low as 0.05% CPU consumption on both a HD2 and Samsung Galaxy S!
Yesterday test results are attached, logging and refreshing every minute, screen on with mA in notification bar and didn't start the UI, just monitoring.
Will add more test result (screen-off, etc) in the app thread
Nevertheless on the Defy, the app will get % from a file (instead of event-based) and will also compute mA estimates, so it will definitely consume a little more...
Maybe you could run some tests comparison with or without activating the support?
EDIT:
Removed any comparison with other app

mdnie directory in Galaxy SII ICS 4.0

Hi, does anyone know where is the mdnie files located in the new ICS 4.0? I'm using the stock ICS 4.0 rom for Galaxy SII and cant seem to find it anywhere.
The old GB 2.3 mdnie was located under system/etc but the ICS one seems to have move it somewhere else. Would appreciate if anyone could enlighten me
I would also like to know that!
spent hours searching the directory one by one but still cant find it The only thing i came over was outdoor or negative etc stuff like that......

Has anybody found it yet?
Or at least the control devices?
I've been looking at the ICS source code, and I think I see what happened. They moved the files into the driver itself. However, they also added a facility for loading a custom file. From the source code, somewhere (maybe /dev/class/mdnie? I am not sure--I don't actually have an ICS device myself) there should be a control file named "tunning" (yes, "nn"!). I *think* it works as follows:
If you write a filename to it (i.e., "echo filename > tunning"), it should load the tuning data from /sdcard/mdnie/filename
If you write 1 to it, it should activates the tuning data
If you write 0 to it, it should deactivates the tuning data
A quick test might be to load tuning data that turns the colors red. Hypothetically, the "red.txt" file I attached might work. Use at your own risk if you want to try it. Don't blame me if it gets stuck, destroys your screen, whatever. Since I don't have ICS, I haven't done this myself. Plus I don't know where exactly the "tunning" file is. But it looks pretty straightforward.
The reason I am interested in this is that I am making a night vision app for mdnie-supporting phones. So far it works on my phone under GB, and I don't have ICS.

[MOD]HTCLinkifyDispatcher Fix - Oudated. See OP for Steal25's thread.

Edit: This fix is defunct as of the current OTA. For a working version of this software (Thanks Steal25!) check out the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1947686
I'll be requesting this thread be closed at this point, though I'll leave the files for anyone still on older software versions. It's served it's purpose. Thanks everyone!
Original post:
There are a number of build.prop edits out there for various fixes. One such edit gives back the ability to make a choice of what program you want for a specific action. This was removed by HTC due to Apple claiming a patent infringement of patent #5,946,647. This patent is what caused the Evo 4G LTE to be stuck in customs.
Due to the nature of build.prop files containing many areas that can be tweaked, ROM devs tend to make different tweaks between ROM's. Until now this could have caused issues.
This script makes a backup of your current build.prop, and then EDITS IT IN PLACE.
What does this mean? It means you can flash THIS file on ANY ROM on this phone and it will not mess up any tweaks your specific ROM dev has put in place.
Why is this important? There are a number of build.props edited with this fix (and others)...some of them are from the stock ROM and some are from various other custom ROMs. Simply copying one over your current build.prop could lose you important optimizations, or custom fixes your dev has set up. By flashing this script you keep those customizations and still get the benefit of having your choices back.
Instructions:
To tell if this edit worked for you, check in settings. If the app associations menu option is gone, then it worked.
You will need to clear defaults for specific programs in order to have a choice pop up.
Example:
If you have selected Chrome for your default browser in app associations, you will need to go to menu/settings/apps/downloaded/Chrome/clear defaults.
The next time you tap a URL you will have a choice of which browser to use.

Thanks to iconeo for the original thread found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693809
Thanks to Steal25 for the actual build.prop edits.
I am including two zip files. The first one will make the build.prop change to allow you to choose your own defaults.
The second one (HTCLinkify-revert.zip) will allow you to put your build.prop back to its default.
There are other build.prop edits out there and I will be creating ROM agnostic flashable zips for those as well.
Please let me know if there are any issues with this flash.
Edit: I have uploaded a new zip that should work with the latest OTA.
nice man
so people can flash this and still keep their tweaks

Yep, exactly. For people that have a hard time editing build.prop on their own, this will do the trick.
Plus it's the easiest way to re-implement the fix if your ROM dev updates the ROM but doesn't include it by default.
So I'm guessing you can only use this if your phone is rooted right ?

You can only manually edit the build.prop if you're rooted to begin with, so even if you choose not to do it this way, you'll still need root to make the change yourself.
To flash the zip requires root and unlocked bootloader since you need a custom recovery to flash zips.
Made a correction to the first post. It was Steal25 who came up with the original build.prop edit, not SteelH. Sorry Steal25!
Mines ready fixed by me. But still, thanks mass for this.
Edit: thinking about this makes me realize just how bad apple effd HTC. I mean, if I was one of the vast majority of users who dont root and just buy a phone and leave it how it is, I would honestly probably return this device and buy something different. And that would be hard because i love HTC and this device. But, removing the 'complete action using' dialog is just not something I could live with. Apple really, really, screwed HTC... and end users. :screwy:

It's fantastic, thanks man.
I've been following this issue, and it seems the build.prop fix also works for other HTC ICS phones. I assume this flashable zip would work for those phones as well, correct? Since it's editing in place, seems like it should work for all (One X, One S, Amaze 4G, etc.).
thanks, was looking for this mod

It should, yes. However I only had an Evo 3D and an Evo 4g LTE to test on, so I can't support other phones.
But as long as build.prop is in /system and contains the line ro.da1.enable=true this script should work.
Again though I can't test, so you're on your own.
Edit: One thing though: You'll need a modified updater-script. Right now I have 2 versions of this zip, one for Shooter (Evo3D) and one for Jewel (E4GLTE).
You'll need to modify the line at the top of updater-script to your own phone's model:
getprop("ro.product.device") == "shooter"
Replace "shooter" with "jewel" for the E4GLTE for example. Or you could simply remove the line. Should work fine without it.
Ok, I may be asking a lot...
But I'm not familiar with editing the script lines,
Could you possibly either make a zip with the jewel edit in place?
Thanx

This one already has jewel. If you want it for another device I can make a quick update for you, just let me know the device name. Or if you want to test it without the device check line I'll pull that for you and you can test it that way.
Many thanks for this. Although i was able to modify fue build prop myself, i did have a hard time. Everytime i edited the build prop with root browser it made a copy of itself . Confusing stuff. Finally sorted it with SM mánager.
Anyways this is much easier for someone with my skills

Not a problem. It will come in handy later if your ROM dev makes an update. Just flash and go.
This worked flawlessly for me. It's SO nice to have the features back that I was used to on previous devices. Thanks!

[Q] Orange Signal Boost (UMA) for S III ???

Right, I guess this is really a UK-only question, but Orange have this thing called Signal Boost, which routes your phone signal through any Wi-fi that you're connected to. So even if you have no signal whatsoever, as long as you have Wifi signal you have full signal. I have NO signal at the house I've just moved to, and NO signal at my new workplace, so having a phone contract for me now is pretty much useless.
Along came Orange Signal Boost, which I happened to notice one day on my Galaxy S II, which was a lifesaver. But I was pickpocketed last weekend whilst on holiday. To await the cheque from the insurance company I took the initiative and bought myself a Galaxy SIII with stock Orange ROM, and to my disgust Signal Boost is not on there.
This is NOT available in Google Play store or on the orange web site. It either in the ROM or not.
I've tried various Orange ROMs and none of them have it for the S III. Why would Orange stop making such an important piece of software?
I've been looking at other ways of getting it on there. I've used CWM, Odin and Mobile Odin so I'm OK with using these. Does anyone know of an alternative to Orange Signal Boost, or someone that's made it available for Galaxy S III?
This topic is covered on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432205 but it's from the time before the S III.
I can't get it to work, however I don't understand this line - "You have to Edit your build.prop to have this line rild.libpath=/system/lib/librilswitch.so"
Can someone explain how I would do this. My phone is rooted by the way. How do I edit this file?
Thanks for any advice on this, because as it stands now I'm gonna have to sell it on and get my hands on another S II.
You need to pay for an app called "rootexplorer" then it will be in "system", long hold and choose "open with text editor" then edit appropriate line. But in my opinion buddy, editing the build.prop could do more harm than good, me personally I would never edit my build.prop, I would get in touch with orange and ask them about the app that's missing. Of course its entirely up to you but I'd steer clear of the build.prop

OK, thanks for your advice. I've emailed Orange, but I doubt I'll get anywhere with that - I think they're generally quite useless with things like that.
I think I will give a go at editing the build.prop, because at the moment my phone is of limited use to me. First question, if I mess things up, I'd be able to do a factory restore and have the file restored, right? Or will reflashing not replace the file?
Secondly, before I go fiddling about, are we all sure that there is no alternative app I can install, one that can send my phone signal through my Wifi router? It's a shame that the whole world isn't using Viber then I wouldn't have a problem.

Yopu can actually do this without a paid app. You can either use a build.prop editor or solid file explorer which are both free in the market. I would advise to use build.prop editor as it is more user friendly and you can do a full backup of your build.prop before starting any modifications within the application. Links to applications bellow.
build.prop editor
Solid Explorer
For solid explorer follow above instructions, for build.prop editor, instructions bellow:
1 backup current build.prop
2 add new entry (top right icon)
3 Property Name = rild.libpath
4 Property Key = /system/lib/librilswitch.so
5 click the tick box in top right corner to save
6 exit build.prop and reboot your device

Hey thanks for the step by step. I'm pretty sure I followed it exactly, but when I rebooted into CWM Recovery Mode and re-tried installing the Signal Boost zip file I still get the same error, which is...
E: Error in /sdcard/Signal_boost_uma.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
Any ideas?
I phoned Orange and the guy said that the Galaxy S III doesn't have Orange Signal Boost because it is not an UMA-compatible phone. He said that
1) Do you think he's accurate in what he's saying?
2) If so, d'you think that that's the reason why I can't get the zip file to install?
2) What makes one phone UMA-compatible and another not? Is it in the ROM? Does Jelly Bean on the Galaxy S III have UMA?
3) If UMA is a ROM thing, does anyone know of a custom ROM someone's done for the Galaxy S III that is UMA-compatible?
Thanks.

UMA - Unlicensed Mobile Access (or GAN - Generic Network Access as it is also known), is a hardware based feature. I would be surprised if this is not supported in the specifications of a modern handset. I am looking into the GS3 now and will have a proper look over the forum you mentioned. Though the error message looks like it's with the ZIP your trying to flash? Is this happening at the flashing stage? If so your zip may have been corrupted, if it is try downloading again and try again build.prop will have no influence over zip flashing.
[Update] The GS3 does support UMA, so it's the software side where the issue resides.
---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------
1. He's Inaccurate.
2. Would not affect the flashing of a zip file.
3. UMA is hardware dependent with supporting software obviously.
4. While this may have something to do with the ROM's themselves, i.e. it not being activated, though the above zip seems to onctain everything required to activate it, the lib files are the software libraries in android, sort of equivalent to drivers on a desktop.

Okay, sorry that it's posting me here for some reason.
I'm not familiar with the applications on the phone yet so i don't quite understand how you want me to delete that folder. Thanks for the hint about the 0.0.0.0 not being allowed, shouldn't 'allowed'be the default setting for the ROM?
Also I haven't explored a lot on the phone, but I noticed that I cannot seem to add widgets in the personalization area. The entire field is blank and it's a bit of a problem for me.

I sent ya pm on A.Forums saying how to enable root explorer on ES File Explorer, when enabling root, ES will ask to use the su binary, SuperSU is in charge of that, and there will be a pop up asking you if you want to grant ES root privileges- to access your /system + other partitions on the device. Just press yes, by default, you only need to grant one time, and SuperSU will continue to allow.
I realize your a beginner(I was this time last year, thanks to xda n its members for the knowledge), you need to become familiar with your file explorer. I like Xplore best for navigating, it's UI- user interface is simple and shows a 'bigger' picture- but it's down side is it doesn't handle large operations well, so use ES to delete the framework-res FOLDER(not apk). It's useless, I'm not sure why dev left it in there.
So, in ES File Exp., hit icon in bottom right corner-view, press on 'medium detail', easier to navigate in this view. To free up more space, delete /system/vendor/pittpatt- find system, find vendor, find pittpatt and press and hold on it, options will show up on bottom, hit delete, hit OK. That frees up over 20 MB. It's for facial recognition to unlock screen I believe.
The reason ya can't add widgets(htc widgets that is) is because this is a 'Senseless' Rom. The sense launcher isn't in base Midnightrom. Although I put up a zip with Sense Launcher with widgets over on main thread. Get it if you'd like. The launcher we use is Nova Launcher, it's waaaay faster. I suggest getting pro version for better transition animations, plus you can enlarge icons.
The sense launcher is called Rosie.apk, it's a system app, and of course it's located in /system/app I've had trouble getting ol' Rosie to load unless I flash the zip before the first boot, if you still want her, wipe and reflash.
btw, what all zips did you flash?

Here's some tidbits of info.
If you don't like the Nexus bootanimation, you can delete it- it's located at /system/customize/resource/Sprint_bootanimation. But it will then display the fallback boot animation that's customized for me. You can find a variety of them in our devices threads. Charlie Brown(for Christmas), Thundercats, 3D ones,etc.
You can add audio to boot, name it android_audio.mp3 and stick it in that same folder. Down animation sound is audio_out.mp3.
Use my fonts package, stomp on the boring.
After flashing the music mods zip, it'll enable xLOUD and sound will be LOUD. To disable, go into Walkman, hit menu key, Settings, Sound Enhancements, options for equalizers will pop up, don't click checkbox to use as default, hit sound enhancements, settings at top right, untick XLOUD, And if the eq isn't working, greenify Sound Enhancements.
There are scripts that run automatically at boot time. They're in /system/etc/init.d. Shell scripts can do a variety of things, such as change kernel parameters, how your 'internet functions', when your android kills apps, activate swap(s), and so on.
Try switching to a Sprint prl.
Use Xprivacy and AFWall to block apps from connecting to internet.
Xposed modules are activated in Xposed Installer- I have thread of which ones are useful on this phone.
I suggest getting app called Logging Test App and its Pro Version. It's only a buck and very useful. Plus it's by XDA legend trevE that unveiled HTC's spying practices and our vulnerability, and who also brought us WiFi Tether, support him!
Rom Toolbox let's you choose which apps you want to start at boot in Auto Start Manager menu.
Greenify and Pro are musts for battery life, stop 'most' apps from running in background- there are exceptions. Use in tandem with Wakelock Detector or Better Battery Stats.

I remember finding a list somewhere with the information on it but I can't locate it anymore. The Slot Cycle Index is currently 2, which is the default. I believe 0 and 1 are for emergency services only. So I don't know what the benefits of lowering the number by one are. I don't know what SID/NID to switch it to so I can't change that. I changed the EVRC home page from EVRC to EVRC-B, and I enabled Dormant Handoff Opt. Both were not that way by default.

Slot Cycle Index- how often your phone polls towers- 2= 2.56s, 3=5.12seconds, battery tweak.
Access Overload Class- priority of your calls on Sprint towers, mine originally set at 7, stepdads sprint Evo- set at 3, 3 is best.
For you,
Primary Home Agent- 68.28.57.76
Secondary HA-68.28.49.77
SID-4173

Are you sure this will foil the data throttling that sprint does?

No, you'll still be throttled. It was explained to me that your data usage is being measured on the server's side, not from your device. Although, there's still a folder at /data/system/throttle. Why, I dunno, I investigated it, couldn't find anything out. There's an init.d script that will erase files in that folder and change the permissions so it can't be written or executed.
btw, please redownload and flash the FlashEtc.zip because there was a script in old that is deleting your stock browser's bookmarks, sorry about that. And on that note, I had asked if you're s-off because am wondering if your flashed the mod kernels. Reason being- Mac Kernel(original kernel with Midnightrom) uses zram, which is incompatible with the turbo boost zip I posted, just saying, don't use Turbo Boost with original kernel.
Back to the question, there are Roms that claim no throttling(and confirmed by some users). Negalite is one, get version r121, it's stable, and you could see if you're not throttled if that's been a problem for ya. You can choose Sense option in aroma installer too, if you don't like Nova launcher.
The values given for changes in epst##778# are tailored for your part of country, hopefully will speed up 3G.
Edit- Check out this thread- http://androidforums.com/showthread.php?t=858735
Again, some confirm it, some say no go. 00runnow is init.d script that has what they're talking about. Pay attention to what ModdingMyMind says.
You could make use of afwall to not allow apps to use 3G data. For me, I don't let Facebook or Messenger use 3G. Check out your main offenders in Settings, Usage.

Been having problems with the ROM, I think I will need to reinstall (the file partition system is unable to install any new apps what so ever and cannot connect to Wi-Fi networks). Can you post the installation tips again and how to backup and restore the data for convenience sake?
Other issues happening too, like the phone resetting whenever I attempt to send an App to the SD card and the like.
