I thought this might be a good place to ask and help those
( including myself ) to tweak the Build Prop and Kernel tweaks
using the great app Rom toolbox. And since Trial and error can sometimes spell disaster ( Brick ) I thought that by asking for already established safe but optimized settings it would be a big help. I am personally looking for faster performance and/or better battery life despite Running Blazer Rom 4.0 ( which I am very happy with...although it is my first Rom on my E4Gt ( sprint ) I am a newbie- But ambitious in learning without
bricking. Please post any optimized settings that will help anybody looking for same things. Thanks !!
Here is a good guide with explanations and codes.

YW.
Actually there are more sites and guides. Just google init.d tweaks or init.d scripts.
I like this particular one because of all explanations of what each line of code does.
Blazer has all these tweaks incorporated in the ROM already.

thanks & More for tweaks
Thanks- Yes- Blazer has a very nice list of tweaks- But It is my belief that there is always room for improvement- I dont know how much- But if not- there wouldnt be a Blazer 4.1 if there wasnt. Anyhow- I added the script magic of V6 Supercharger to enhance an already great Rom and Phone. ( My battery life still had some more improvement in my opinion...) Besides the other miscellaneous tweaks I felt could be added. But- I am no expert-
Best build.prop tweaks in my humble opinion are as follows
debug.hw.sf=1
This Renders GPU with UI by default
debug.performance.tuning=1
General performance enhancement
There are a bunch of others I have written down. I will add more when I get off from work tomorrow. I have numerious tweaks in my ics rom if anyone is curious. I will be releasing it very soon «Officially» B)

Ok I have been a major lurker on xda for a while. I just created an xda profile a few days ago and made my first contribution with a hacked hulu plus app. Now I want to make a bigger contribution. In the form of a ROM. Ive got my build environment up and running smooth.
Now I dont want any donations. You wont find any donations links any where. I hack and build for fun. This community has many taliented developers. I just hope to merge what I know into real world stuff.
Now my question to the community is what do you want to see in a Rom? Features? Tweaks?

Same. It's very smooth and I like it a lot. Lmk when you get an ICS TW ROM with good battery life like EL29.
Just a fully functional ICS Stock rom that plays nice with the battery is all I can really ask for
You developers spend enormous amount of time and effort to provide to this community and it'll be absurd for people to "expect" ANYTHING. Thank you in advance for any future work you provide for the community.
Settings like AOKP with status bar changes and lockscreen changes and a theme engine would be sweet also.

As long as it's a TW Rom that would be awesome. I like TW and there's a **** ton of people that add launchers to their roms, might as well get CM or AOKP.
Again TW and fast would be nice to see. I have had bad luck with ICS, my phone always hangs for some reason on all leaks.
Thanks in advance.
an aosp ics rom with every single customization option imported from aokp, codename, gummy, slim, and cm9. if you can get that with flawless mms, camera/camcorder, great battery life, with no service or data loss, and properly working sdcard, then you'll have yourself the best aosp rom available hands down.
This may be asking a lot, but i would love to see some of the tweaks for this ROM added. It may be kernel tweaks so i dont know if it is possible. My Mother's phone is running it and after 2 days she still has 50% battery.

Honestly, would just like to see what you come up with. It can be TW based, aokp, cm9.... either way, there is going to be someone not pleased with your work. I think you should just pick and choose what you like, put it together, and the community will love you for it. I myself do prefer a nice lock screen mod (like maddoggin and the new aosp mod). The launcher I could give two s#*T's about, as long as it runs smooth. The best of luck to you. Hope to see some good things in the future.

Im a huge fan of the cm9 launcher but i like the TW UI and Camera. Im thinking of a Touchwizless rom. it has the look and feel of aosp but with the great aspects of TW.

Wow.. i see people askin for tuings that have already been done.. all i ask for is somthing unique! Not a stock ice or stock tw ics, i mean incorporate all you can but don just add all features that we have already.. come on guys think of somethin crazy awesome that is doable
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
A touch wiz ROM with mods like AOKP (status bar notification and lockscreen mods ) and behaves like AOKP, the reason behind it being a touchwiz ROM is because the little touchwiz touches are nice( video player, working led, HW accelerated UI and browser and etc) ,putting other UI's might just cause problems (battery and lag). Yet I can only dream!! Just an idea. If this is even possible.

Stock touch wiz ICS ROM themed the look like ICS and fix that darn notification bug.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
My opinion is to offer options.
Help swamp goblin port sense 4.0.
Help maintain and update MIUI if needed.
Port over motoblur (just so peeps can try it)
Help tcp if needed with aokp or cma or gummy.
Etc. Etc. The more options we have, the happier everyone will be.
While not a rom, how about porting the cm9 reloaded mod to our phone. The systemUI of the mod needs to be merged with ours to get the 4g toggle and other stuff working. I would do it, but time isn't something I have at the moment.

Like the title says...nothing more than stock kernels with support for the following:
Rooted
Unsecured for adb access
bootanimation support - place bootanimation.zip in system/media folder
init.d support
I will be looking into adding other features in the future, but really needed a kernel with all these features as I begin working on my own rom.

So - any plans on compiling kernel and ROM with linaro?
Also - adding overclock and undervolt?

I've tried all the other ones and for some reason they're either too modded or have 1 or 2 bugs that bother me. I made one based off the stock LI2 rom, gutted everything out of it (except flipboard, dropbox, kies, and smemo), and added different mods from scratch.
If others want me to post it I will, just unsure if I'm ready to put it in the Dev section since I probably won't be updating it too frequently & I didn't want to clutter the forum with the same variation of the same base.
It has:
Google Now, different brightness settings, some build prop tweaks, all samsung & t-mobile crap removed, no extra added apps, stock theme, bravia mod, alt 5x5/5x6 launcher, only uses 360mb ram on first boot, + more.
might add 4 way reboot, beats audio, all other good stuff
+ I plan on applying these same mods when a stable ics rom drops.

uploading now guys, testing a build might update a few things before i release it's in the other forum!
Okay.. Most of you people know who I am.. and if you know me you know I am not much of a kernel dev ... Regardless, I love AOSP but while running CM10.1, I felt I was missing some things that were more readily available for a Stock ROM.. Things such as (unofficial)Voodoo sound, Overclocking and Undervolting.. So I went ahead and forked CM's kernel and added a few needed things.
Notes:
Thie kernel is for AOSP only!
This kernel include's codeworkx's downgrade to mali r2p4 commit from CM's gerrit.. In this commit codeworkx specifically states that there is a memory leak. Now I will also say this.. This downgrade greatly improves the graphical glitches found in the android 4.2 ROMS, IE no more keyboard funkyness etc... I have yet to see this leak myself and think the trade-off is worth it. If this causes serious issues for people let me know.
Features:
Unofficial Voodoo sound driver (otherwise this has not been reviewed and approved by Supercurio)
OverClock up to 1.8 Ghz
CPU Undervolting
Downgrade to mali r2p4 which fixed graphic glitches
Downloads:

Is this compatible with Stweaks for tuning issues?
Is the voodoo like sound a port of "scooby do" code?

no this is not compatable with stweaks nor is is Scoobydoo sound.. It does work with the voodoo sound app though.. I will say this again.. This has not been tested nor approved by SuperCurio so he could very well block the download from the app store which is in his right to do. Regardless I am sure he will eventually release proper support for Voodoo in the near future and when he does I will add it.

Loving this kernel but unfortunately I have seen the aforementioned memory leak. First time earlier today Tasker complained of low memory. Been running Tasker for a while and never have I had it complain until I flashed kernel. Second time was later today when I noticed I only had ~200 mb of ram free and hasn't used my phone in hours. I have a widget on homescreen with system stats so it's hard to miss. Liking the OC/UC ability and voodoo though. Thanks again.

Pacman is 4.1.2 and this kernel is for 4.2.1 this is a newer version and will probably not work on older 4.1 ROMs ....

I know that Pimp My Rom is a Universal tweaking app for most phones, but does it really help considering that Task's ROM is so polished? Are the tweaks really helping out the performance of the phone or the speed of the connections. Anyway to compare before and after ?

I have watched most of the apps you mentioned from beta or before. They are pointless to roms like tasks. The tweaks are alot of different settings that do little to nothing unless your stock or on a less developed rom. If you look deep down in those apps they are just settings to different things that already have a custom setting from task and aokp that any developer can change.
