what build.prop tweaks are out there - HTC Droid DNA

What build.prop tweaks are out there? I'm wanting to try them if there are

---

More importantly, has anyone been able to modify the build.prop without it just resetting upon reboot?
MMS needs to be added the APN Whitelist I believe and there might be some modifications out there (more than just build.prop) that will allow us to get Google Wallet working.

You either have to replace build.prop in recovery *or* use one of DSB's kernels with write to system. Either way you'll need to be unlocked & rooted.

I'm going to try and flash his kernel now. I was thinking about it before, but now you've convinced me.
EDIT: I thought I heard of you before. I've purchased some accessories from you guys.

My build.prop changes (to remove the 3 dot menu) were done via recovery as they were made before DSB's kernel. Doing it through recovery was a pain, though, as I made the build.prop edits by hand and missed a carriage return - fortunately I made a copy of the original and then was able to find my error.
I've been running DSB's "simple" kernel (adb root, system write) and it's been great.
Accessories: Cool, I appreciate the business! We don't do much accessory-wise anymore, mostly antennas and amplifiers. We recently moved into a larger location and we are pretty stoked about that!

Actually it was a purchase for an antenna to use with my Wilson amplifier.
Unfortunately I'm having fast boot issues when trying to flash the boot.img for the kernel. It keeps on waiting on device. Tried two computers, rebooting etc. Never had that problem.
Someone please try to add mms to the apn white list .

It's funny you posted such a thread because after installing DSB's custom stock kernel with system write, I've been scouring the internet looking for build.prop tweaks. I've been slowing implementing them throughout the day to make sure my phone is stable. I started with general system/ui tweaks and ended with network tweaks. I can honestly say my beastly phone is more beastly in about a 15 hour period. Here is what I came up with:
***NOTE: Many of the forum posts I have seen say you should reboot twice after doing a build.prop edit. I have no idea why this is, but I did for each of my many edits and recommend you do as well. I am not responsible for any damage that may occur to your phone if you decide to edit your build.prop.
I HIGHLY recommend using Notepad++ to edit your build.prop: http://download.tuxfamily.org/notepadplus/6.2.3/npp.6.2.3.Installer.exe

It's hard to show exactly how much these improve the phone in a screenshot, but I think the one below sums some things up nicely.. You see from the PPI changes that the app no longer fills up the screen. You will also notice that testing from the same exact spot, I've gained about 12Mbps in download speed. Not bad for a day's work.
EDIT: I have removed the incorrect PPI "tweak"

---

On another forum where I posted my tweaks, I was linked to this article: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html. After reading through it, the setting of 480 density is correct (basically we have a double scaled hdpi (240x2) display.) I have removed the "tweak" above from my build.prop and recommend anyone who has it should as well unless they prefer the look of the smaller icons and fonts. It certainly won't damage your phone in any way. With that said, I have some new tweaks that you can add as you wish. These are all additions so they go at the bottom:
Under General:
video.accelerate.hw=1
#To disable usb debugging icon in the notification bar
persist.adb.notify=0
and under network:
# Google DNS Tweak
net.rmnet0.dns1=8.8.8.8
net.rmnet0.dns2=8.8.4.4
net.dns1=8.8.8.8
net.dns2=8.8.4.4
So, the current edits at the bottom of my build.prop look are:

for you to copy and paste. I prefer to see the usb debugging icon and have not included it in my edit.
