build.prop

[Guest fards]

anyone else got a spelling mistake?

I've have been tweaking mine, but this is in the original I think.

ro.build.APP_ORIENTATION_LANADSCAPE=1

also has anyone tried disabling any of the features in there, such as logfilter, or the debug

or any idea what

ro.build.FEATURE_BENDER_UI=1 does ?

yes I first noticed that in the beta leak and was really surprised that it carried over into the 8xxx official build.

however, I did try correcting the spelling mistake on the beta in the hope I could have a default portrait device, but nothing worked (0, 1 same result - no change that I could detect - tried with and without the spelling mistake)

the pixel density property does work though (forget the paramater name exactly) but did seem to make parts of the GUI and apps unusable (depending if you were scaling up or down).

the ro.sf.lcd_density=

yeah I tired 120 with no difference, I've got it at 160 in case any apps try to pick up on it.

[Guest fards]

OK worked out either the landscape or bender does.. just need to work out which it is

Anyway I've acquired a neat menu :P

Widget for RSS feeds, its always running

There are plenty others I think for other devices that may work, found one earlier for droid x that claims to aid scrolling speeds, but didn't try it.

Ahhh, loving the stock menus

Not sure what amendments Paul made to the MCR but there are a ton of throughput improvements that were added to the G1 build.prop, not really contributing much here am I 0_o

Thanks GreenArcher

here's the thread I was referring to earlier.

no idea whether they would work with the streak or not..

only one way to find out :P

[Guest Meltus]

i changed ro.sf.lcd_density to 200 and had some... well.. bizarre results lol. Gonna mess some more :P

[Guest miker71]

it's mad that a lot of these properties don't seem to be documented anywhere that I can find on google (most google searches turn up pasted versions of people's build.prop). - just another way it reminds me of the config.sys for DOS back in the day .. (yes I am that old)

getting rid of the Dell menu customisations, definitely going to be doing that ....

[Guest peekofai]

something strange with my build prop.

some of those options:

ro.build.OEM_CUSTOMIZE_O2=0

ro.build.CUSTOMER_CONFIG_O2=0

ro.build.APP_RSS_WIDGET=0

ro.build.FEATURE_BENDER_UI=0

came up twice. i changed them initially and was about to upload when i decidedto have one last look.

went in there and saw the values still at 1 (towards the end of the build prop.)

I was sure i'd changed them the first time and savedthem so scanned the document quickly only to find the ones i'd changed in the middle of the document.

just letting you know just in case you're making these changes and it's not sticking.

PS: i have not deleted the duplicates for fear of breaking something but set them to 0 as well

[Guest Meltus]

Here we go, some comparison screenies for you :P

Personally i MUCH preferre the ro.sf.lcd_density being set to 120, it gives you much more screen space.

Here are the 2 normal screenshots with the 'ro.sf.lcd_density' set to... whatever it normally is, and the 2 comparison screenshots set to 120.

Normal Browser and Normal Navigation

LCD Density set to 120

You can go lower but it kinda gets a bit unusable :)

[Guest fards]

yeah I had it set to 120 for a while, its neat, but even more badly written apps mess up :P

I tried it originally to see if it would help with teh launcher icon spacing, but no good. I wonder if theres a DPI setting inside teh launcher apk?

overall its fun though !

EDIT :

I've just tried it again, after your post meltus, and this time all my homescreen icons are smaller, as is absolutely everything else. (still crap spacing though)

Wonder if changing the "Lanadscape" error changed it, either way it's mega mega HI-res now :)

where's my magnifying glass..

that was the same in the beta too (duplicated)

works a treat though (i also updated both sets of props)

what's BOSS_KEYBOARD i wonder? :P

Haha yeah, set it to 80, it's pretty much impossible to do anything!! :(

I like it at 120, more screen space in the browser, more space in Navigation, more space in everything! :P

yeah reminds me of when we had the advantage running at 96dpi instead of 192.. :(

Thats amazing!

A spelling mistake?

Dell are like a bunch of teenagers having a go at making a phone compared to the rest of the phone makers out there

Because of a spelling mistake? That's harsh.

Your post isn't exactly grammatically perfect either! :P

you should see the amount of smelling mistakes (natch) that HTC used to get into the registry. I'm surprised half of their roms even booted :P

good point.

If you want to see some funny stuff download the android source and look through it. Some of the comments are things like "// I don't know what this does" or "// Who did this?". Doesn't fill your heart with confidence tbh :P

Worth a look at? No where near a PC so can't try it, but I'm interested to see what changes it makes

[Guest spences10]

Has anyoner played around with dalvik.vm.heapsize=40m in the build.prop?
