Build.prop edits = great battery life + fast phone + full market

[DroidX101]

Ok, I know everybody has heard this time and time again, but I did the build.prop, and uninstalled the task killer, and wow! I unplugged my phone this moring around 7ish, and at 9pm it was only at 30% usually I have had to charge it up by noon-1pm due to being on 30%. I'm stoked! calles were 47% display 21% yada yada yada... Didn't use much of gps. Did use wifi a little when I got home about 630pm not much though.

oops!

Did a stupid thing today. Accidentaly moved build.prop to a different location and rebooted. Now phone will not reboot because it is looking for build.prop. Any ideas on how I can get that file back to its original location so that my phone is usable again?

DROID not DROIDX

Do you have bootstrap recovery? If so do a advance restore system only.

Nope...I am a dumbass. Did it on the fly as I was interupted by someone. Next stop Verizon?

You should be able to SBF.

Also, I wanted to announce to everyone that these mods are available on Rom Manager via flashable update.zips. Have at it...

So this really increases battery life? Will have to try. Thanks
Q: new at rooting and droid, in laymans terms what is bootsstrap recovery and rom manager? Thx.

My video recording is no longer working properly after installing this. I'm not sure if it is this, or if it was caused by some other unknown. Basically all of my video recording, then playback on my Droid X 2.1 is no properly interlaced, but the sound is there and will play back

Can someone copy the stock build.prop file, and shoot it my way, as I overwrote the stock file. I'm going to backup the things I changed, until my video comes back, I suppose.

Thanks. One more question. I'm still using 2.1. Does this matter? Should I wait for the 2.2 OTA before changing the build? I don't want to download the leaked version and I don't want to screw up my phone's ability to get the official Froyo update. Thanks for the help.

no one answered this question and I was just wondering the same thing.....

any input?

 

[luv2increase]

This tweak is for the leaked 2.2...

Don't use it for 2.1. The OP didn't explicitly say it, but it was pretty obviously inferred.

 

[prince1071]

figured as much but as you said...the OP didnt say so, so I wanted to be sure....cause I'd love to have those tweaks in place right now.

I'm a complete noob at all of this some I'm probably going to wait until the OTA 2.2 to release before I ever attempt rooting my phone - would it be easier for me just to purchase the one click easy root app or to actually attempt to do it myself?

I'm really interested in adjusting the resolution and pixel density, how well does it compare to the iPhone 4's retina?

 

[bharkin]

Can someone post an original copy of the build.prop file. I'd like it just in case, since I already wrote over mine.... I know, big dummy!

that really depends on u. i manually did my original droid and a few others before any one clicks were out there. im glad i know my phone and my way around the recovery. if u rely on the one clicks or say rom manager to do everything for you then u have hope you dont have issues cause that is a bad time to HAVE to learn manual comands. if you are not the type that likes to change roms,themes kernels etc. on a regular basis then there is no reason to not rely on these great apps.

One more tweek I found... didn't check all posts to see if it was listed, so excuse if repost

If you don't want or use Windows MediaSync, you can remove that option from the "USB Connections" Screen with this change.
