How exactly do I enter and input codes for build.prop tweaks for this phone. I found a few things I would like to update like my 3g speed, video quality and pic quality. I found the tweaks and codes to put in, I just dont know exactly how to input them I realize the risk of them and Ill be fine once I know exactly how. I am rooted FYI, and thanks in advanced for any help
 
Prop editor?? Isn't that what I have rom toolbox for and that's what the prop editor in there is for? Ill try tho

Open build.prop editor in rom toolbox.
The list is editable bits, just tap one and change the value.
To add your own, press the pencil in the upper right corner.
 
Yah, the key is the value. Usually either false or true, or a value. Just look up the different values in google to determine the value you want.
 
I seen what your talking about the list in ROM Toolbox too. Only thing is that I dont see any of those codes in there that I want as far as 3g speed, vid and pic quality. And to make a code that I want in there, Im confused because when I hit the pencil, a huge code already comes up, so Im like wtf haha
 
And what if the code isnt in there? I try to scroll to the bottom to make one but it seems like that list never ends. Have you personally input a code or anything before?
 
If the code isnt there then you hit the pencil button to make it. First you enter the code string, then the value. For instance (these will be there but its the same for any of them)

dalvik.vm.execution-mode (code string) int:jit (value) <-- this will change the compiler to "just in time" compiler (this is actually a VERY good tweak if it isnt already done as JIT is much faster

or

dalvik.vm.heapsize (code string) 32 (value) <-- this is how much RAM the system allows any one single program to access at one time, I think its set to 128 for our phones which is a good value for how much RAM it has

or

ro.hdmi.enable (code string) false (value) <-- not sure EXACTLY what this one does (most likely enables or disables HDMI for the camera or streaming video but Im not sure, this one is just another example) but the value of "false" disables it.

Values are either one of two things, their either a number (like the VM heapsize string), OR they can be a true/false (be aware SOME strings might require a 0/1 value where 0 is false and 1 is true, youll just have to google which). Most of the important ones Rom Toolbox has already in its "build.prop tweaks" sections where you dont have to actually modify the file yourself, you just have to move the sliders) the only other SUPER important ones are usually already set right. The only one I would absolutely make sure of is the first one I put up there.
 
How dare you doubt me!

:p Yeah it works.

I just added a comment to the bottom of my build.prop and reduced the proximity sensor delay.
