[Q] Are "build.prp" tweaks really effective? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

well... I've always done those battery, camera and performance build.prop tweaks to my phone...
but never confirmed whether they really are effective or not...
Do you think they really work?
I couldn't feel any big difference, actually...

Yes they are... Check by benchmarks... For your satisfaction.
PREDATOR95 ->->->->a.k.a. ->-> predatOr

Yes some of them do have effect, but don't expect it to be significant.
And don't always trust in benchmark scores, it wasn't everything.

They do work, but not every one will work on every Phone or have the same effect as they might on an other Phone etc so can be trial and error I've found.

have you tried supercharger??

For me its effective
having a good build.prop tweaks give me 270 free ram. get high antutu score
:highfive:

R: [Q] Are "build.prp" tweaks really effective?
Yes they are, and if you combine build.prop tweaks with init.d tweaks it's better.
Sorry for my bad english

Tweaks CM7

Hi everyone. I want start this topic to discute about some tweaks to do on cm7.
-More battery
-Stability fixes
-Update/Add Apps
-Others
What you think about?

Hi..
I think that it would be important to report the battery duration, much of all.. It would be useful, IMO, to create a default test to make with our phone.. For example: XX min of wifi navigation, XX min with 3g only and same with 2g.. and going on by this way
I think that souch a test, once reached a lot of results, could be very useful for all of us and for CM7 programmers..
What do you think about???
Inviato dal mio GT-I5500 usando Tapatalk
I think you're right. But first we need to know why cm7 uses more battery, i don't thing developers can modify cm7, they are busy with Cyanogenmod9. So if we know why cm7 uses more battery, we can try to fix it. But who can tell that to us? Develovepers i think. Now i send a pm to ketut.
I think that can help we. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292200
I wait for a stable version. Realy interesting.
Anyway who can help we peales post here!!
Nobody can help??

I´m using ICS by jusada and LagFree V1 by slaidmod and my Ace runs like hell with an unbelieveable batterylife of 48h at normal usage (gaming, texting and calling, maybe take pictures). Never lags and never restarts (very stable).
Running the same setup and MT battery life is amazing. Ill easily make it through a whole day with above normal use.
I'm using the infinity rom and the battery lasts an average of 72 hours, but i'm not an usual user, a little foursquare, imo for chat, Some gmail reading, and thats it, no fancy gaming or heavy data usage

I'm using CM 7.2 RC0 and my battery can't handle more than 18 hours, I listen to music, play some videos, my 3G is always on because I need to use with my gmail, at home I use wifi and other things like browser, foursquare, netflix, whatsapp and sms. Wish I had a better battery life :/ I need to keep the USB cable always with me.
This is my battery usage screen.
Runnnig ICS final with SlainFastMod 2.5 and JuiceDefender.
I found that LagFree V1 script is draining battery faster than SLainFastMod 2.5.

I think u dint use ur phone much anyway... I see ur voice call duration is more than display!! Means u dint use the phone much.. The avg battery life of cm7 is around 11-12 hrs with mod usage with net and all.. To increase the battery life u need to replace the launcher, some apps... I replaced the apps and did some tweaks in build.prop.. Not much improvement, but still system was fast...

[Q] whats V6 SuperCharger?

i have seen this name some where in xda,i dont understand its use
can you explain what it is and for what it is used for?
Improves phone's RAM.
You can set it to have more or less free RAM, so you can run apps, that need much RAM(games) or have more apps open at one time(multitasking) or just improve phone's speed.
It changes the minfree amounts, that is when Android starts killing apps to free up RAM.
how can i do it in my xm? can you help me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
This is the topic to V6 Supercharger, look in the post, there is guide for Script Manager and Terminal Emulator, both ways can be used.
Make sure your phone is rooted, else it will not work.

Xperia S lags even with 6.1.A.2.45

Hi people!
I want to ask some opinions about te Xperia S lags . The rom 6.1.A.2.45 has improved soo much the speed even in my opinion the XS is always too laggy.
Expecially when search in browser the autocomplete feature cause soo much lags!
In general the phone reactivity is always very bad.
Installing Cyanogenmod 9.1 the things change. very fast and smooth.
So i think: 1)Sony developers are very bad in Android port to Xperia 2) Cyanogenmod team are very good developers
What do you think about it?
Thanks..
cheers.
I was shopping for a new phone for my wife last week and had a play with the Xperia P in the shop. OMG, it ran sooo much faster than my XS and the XS they had (both on GB).

...we must consider and compare them with a clean install... obviously...
other issue of Xperia S in my opinion is the handset free. too low volume!

Did you enable the forced gpu rendering?
Sent from my Xperia S using xda premium
check out the time apps need to be fully loaded(will be even slower when gpu rendering is enabled) + keep an eye on any app you open, wait for like 20 minutes and it will disappear out of the RAM so it will literally restart when you launch it again(slow as hell!!!!) multitasking is just screwed on this ics .. cm9 is superior in any circumstances over the stock ics rom although its not as beautiful ..

Gpu rendering is for the ui not the code based stuff so enabling it will make the device faster ie word predictions since the cpu won't render the ui anymore.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Sent from my Xperia S using xda premium
forcing gpu rendering means every event or anything has to go through the GPU. apps accelerated by the gpu will increase their RAM usage, therefore slowing down the system and their startup
tried gpu rendering ... not so much improvment.
on my phone cyanogenmod is so far better in smoothness than stock. Much muc more. Why ?

On jellaxy at least it makes a ¨HUGE difference in performance, both benchmarking and smoothness of everything.

Yep it's good! But don't know what's the difference between that and the debug.composition.type=gpu line on build.prop. Anyone?

Oh, yeah, that one. I'd like to know that myself.
Just tried this tweak but since I don't game I cant really see any improvements there. I did however notice some stutterness in the app drawer (the typical "smoothness test", flipping pages). Placebo lag? Idk.

From what I notice the scrolling smoothness improved. Don't know if it's placebo too.

Seems to work ok now, maybe it was some startup lagg. But I havent seen much improvement in the scrolling speed at least. I will probably notice some difference after using it for a week.
Will it also work on gb roms (stock) ?
Has anyone tried on gb ? :thumbup::beer:
Isn't this the same effect as these two props for build.prop?
debug.egl.hw=1 (which is default anyway, see libEGL.so)
debug.composition.type=gpu
On my stock Galaxy ACE I can't remove the software line 0 0 android -> no boot.
Cheers
Although the performance change isn't ground-breaking, I can feel the transition effects smoother, such as swiping screens. My Ace which scored 1890 before on AnTuTu benchmark has exceeded 2000 after the tweak :good:

Ok clean fast and smooth jellybean good idea
I have an important question:
how can choose between performance of roms ?
benchmarks ?
here is my experience
on your sperience rom antutu gave me 3200+ score while 3d was about 960 and etc...
on hyperbeam cream it gaves me 3400+
that mean ICS is better even 3d on ics was 1100
but the performance of gaming was worst !!!!
so how can we expect a bout jelly bean ?
is it better than ICS (on this way)or such kind of the same ?
actually everyone needs performance beside of visual not reverse
can you explain.
thank you

Your theorie is bad.jelly bean has parts that make it 40 - 60 % faster then ics.there is a high possibility that jelly bean,and the sonys jelly bean,will be significatly faster then ics.

Like shadik already said jb is now even smoother and faster than ics but its not fully stable yet,about gaming,its the panic kernel that gives you a great benchmark score,and gaming forme was smooth but sometimes it lags for a little time,gb was designed for our devices it gives us the best performance till now,but i think jb could be better if it gets stable

So performance give benefits only for games right ?
and for example when I scroll on menu in GB it is smoother than ICS.
I know that the frame of ICS is better but it is a bit lags and I think it is because of processor.

Listen
I installed cm10
it lagged a little
I downloaded ram manager free from playstore
then i set to BALANCE
lag reduced a bit
Then i went to bottom
and saw SWAP button
I pressed it
selected 256 mb
and phone became lagles.if swap dont work,then blow me down...
!!!!!!!!BUT LETS GO BACK TO THE TOPIC!!!!!!!!
When it will release this ?
I want it LOL
And then can you make the contact , phone and messaging look like cm10( like nexus) ?
Not the official SONY one, because I think cm10's is better and cool
Or it is other ways to install those 3 as apk in your future rom?
