Android is an open source operating system where developers and users can modify every part of it, both the display and the file system. One is to change the line of code inside build.prop to add a specific function. The following is a collection of the latest complete android build.prop tweak scripts for 2022.
Before that, it would be better if we first find out information about what is build.prop on Android? build.prop is a set of scripts containing commands runtime when the android phone is booting. Now in this build.prop there is a script that contains information such as the android build version, pixel density, sensors, and others.
By adding certain scripts, we will get other advantages, one of which is increasing the performance of the smartphone you are using.
1. Improve Screen Scroll Performance
You may often experience an unresponsive device when the screen is swiped up or down. With the following tweak, you can fix it by modifying the maximum and minimum scroll speed levels on the device you are using. In essence, the tweaks below can improve screen scrolling performance better.
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec = 150
ro.min_pointer_dur = 8 ro.max.fling_velocity = 12000
ro.min.fling_velocity = 8000
2. Enable Automatic Rotation on Lock Screen
Previous versions of Android have pinned the auto-rotation feature on the lock screen or screenlock, but for some reason Google disabled this one feature. Even so, you can easily activate it with the following code.
lockscreen.rot_override = true
3. Enabling Auto Rotation on Home Screen
While certain launchers already support auto-rotation for the home screen, the default launcher is different. But don’t worry, because you can enable auto-rotation on the home screen with the command code below.
log.tag.launcher_force_rotate = VERBOSE
4. Increase Internet Speed
If the internet speed seems slow, you can also increase the internet speed on your Android phone by tweaking TCP buffersize. In addition, this tweak also uses Google’s DNS which is very powerful for speeding up internet connections compared to other DNS.
net.tcp.buffersize.default = 4096.87380,256960,4096, 16384,256960
net.tcp.buffersize.wifi = 4096.87380,256960,4096,163 84,256960
net.tcp.buffersize.umts = 4096.87380.256960.4096.163 84.256960
net.tcp.buffersize.gprs = 4096.87380.256960.4096.163 84.256960
net.tcp.buffersize.edge = 4096.87380.256960.4096.163 84.256960
net.dns1 = 8.8.8.8
net.dns2 = 8.8.4.4
5. Remove Black Screen After Phone Call
If you experience a problem with the proximity sensor on your device, for example it produces a black screen for a few seconds after a call is disconnected. This can also be fixed by changing the sensor delay with the tweak below.
ro.lge.proximity.delay = 25
mot.proximity.delay = 25
6. Improve Image Quality
Maybe you already know that WhatsApp reduces the size and quality of media files, especially image files after the file is sent. The Android system itself doesn’t actually display the entire image content in full, to reduce the required processing power.
But the drawback is that it makes good quality images relatively lower than the original file. As a result, the image looks a little blurry. To overcome this you can enter the following script.
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality = 100
7. Speed up the Boot Process
On a Windows PC, to be precise in the Windows 8 version, the boot process becomes faster. This is because Microsoft introduced the Fast Startup feature, which is a process where most of the boot data is saved as a hibernation file, which will then be loaded on the next boot, thus saving a lot of time. Android also has a similar feature that allows the boot process to be faster but you have to enable it via the tweak below.
ro.config.hw_quickpoweron = true
8. Force 270 Degree Rotation on All Apps
On Android, the default rotation degrees are 90°, 180° and 270°. Nonetheless, there are apps that choose to rotate only 90°, you enable 270° Forced Rotation on all apps with the code below.
windowsmgr.support_rotation_270 = true
9. Enable Backlit Capacitive Keys When Screen Is On
If you’re using a device that has a capacitive button with a backlight on it, you may notice that the backlit light only activates when you press it. Now if you want to turn on the backlit light continuously while turning on the phone screen, you can use the tweak below.
ro.mot.buttonlight.timeout = 0
10. Disable Built-In Error Reporting
There are times when you use an application and the application has an error, a warning will appear to report it to Google or the developer of the application. If you find it annoying enough you can turn it off by adding the following code.
profiler.force_disable_err_rpt = 1
profiler.force_disable_ulog = 1
11. Make the Phone Ring Immediately After Receiving a Call
Due to security reasons, the Android system usually waits and verifies the connection before sending a signal to the hardware system to turn on the ringing of the phone. This can be accelerated by adding a few lines of code below and placing it at the end of the Build.Prop file.
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay = 0
ring.delay = 0
12. Changing Device DPI
DPI stands for Dots Per Inch, which is the ratio of the resolution of the device you are using to the size of the display. DPI serves to adjust the overall image resolution including the display of the phone itself. If the size or number of DPI does not match the screen resolution then the phone display will be blurry.
Now you can change the DPI to increase or decrease the size of the total resolution displayed on the screen by changing the LCD Density value.
ro.sf.lcd_density = XXX
Here, XXX refers to the DPI Value. While the values are generally multiples of 160, you can set any value.
13. Speed up Scan Time (Scan) WiFi Network
By default, Android System scans for WiFi networks for 15 second intervals. While this feature is pretty good, it can actually drain the battery. You can change the length of the interval with the following script.
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval = XXX
Here, XXX refers to the scan interval in seconds. So, if you want to change the interval to 5 minutes, then multiply by 60 seconds. So, change XXX to 300.
14. Improve Overall System Performance
The Android system is equipped with a stock performance tuner, this feature makes for better RAM management and an increase in overall phone performance. You can activate it with the script below.
debug.performance.tuning = 1
15. Ram Management For Default Launcher
If you use the default Android launcher and you are not satisfied with its performance, then you can speed up the default launcher with the following script.
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ = 1
16. Faster Video Streaming
Android has a stagefright feature to speed up the loading process or eliminate buffering when streaming online video. Now you can activate it by entering the following code at the bottom in build.prop
media.stagefright.enable-player = true
media.stagefright.enable-meta = true
media.stagefright.enable-scan = true
media.stagefright.enable-http = true
media.stagefright.enable-rtsp = true
media.stagefright.enable-record = false
17. Render UI with GPU :
debug.sf.hw=1
18. Save Battery
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180
pm.sleep_mode=1
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
19. Improve Signal Quality
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=10
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask=4294967295
ro.ril.htcmaskw1=14449
ro.ril.hsupa.category=5
20. Increase Game Playing Speed
persist.sys.NV_FPSLIMIT=60
persist.sys.NV_POWERMODE=1
persist.sys.NV_PROFVER=15
persist.sys.NV_STEREOCTRL=0
persist.sys.NV_STEREOSEPCHG=0
persist.sys.NV_STEREOSEP=20
