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

Dave,
Can you send me a copy of your build.prop file. I overwrote mine with and forgot to make a backup of the stock one.

So if I sbf to 2.1 install ota 2.2, root, then I can still use boot strapper for roms? Or do I need some hacked version of ota instead of getting it from verizon?

Thanks! I'm slowly getting the hang of this. Do I need to delete bootstrap or anything before isbf? I recall seeing the ota in black hats program can I use that?

Only use the sbf if you havent already applied the OTA update. If you do, you will have a brick. There is something in the update that locks out RSD Lite, unless you get the newest version. There is also a partial sbf for the new OTA 2.2 that will help if you theme or rom and something goofs up. You can find it on MyDroidWorld.

Make your backup now, revert to stock, grab the prop file, root and flash your restore back onto your phone. 10 minutes, done deal.

It has been an hour since you posted and I responded. file. As I said in the previous post if you can't backup, go to stock, re-root, and restore but want to mess with your phone this would be a real good sequence to learn.

In fact, anyone rooting their phone should know how to get back to stock, reroot and get back to where they are right now.

Can this be done on the d1 as well? i dont see it in my rom manager but i would like to do it

So before I SBF and update I want to be sure so I don't screw myself.

If I pull the OTA update threw verizon and update to 2.3.15 and that 30.03 bootloader I can still use rom manager and bootstrap to run roms like flyx, tranquility and the like?

This site's been a great help .:icon_ banana:

You'd see it in Root Explorer, in the system folder. Then you would use Root Exployer to edit the file after making the folder read-writable. Once done you'd make the folder Read-Only again.

if there something other than the root explorer app i can use to do this? for free maybe? if not, i will pay for it

If you are going to have a Rooted Phone, Root Explorer is one of the MUST haves.

well i went into my droid 1 and did it in "file manager" myself in and edited the numbers instead of putting the file in my droid...i couldnt find a few of his options to do such as the windows manager one to improve scroll speeds, the one that makes the screen come on faster and the buttons staying lit up..other than that everything else was there..if i install that file he has given us, will that give me the things i am missing even though that is for the droid x? if i cant now the biggest thing i face so i dont mess up anything is what do i do next?..i have not touched it or done anything since i edited the numbers...it is still sitting on that screen..can someone please help with what i do next.. thanks

 

[stabl4life82]

i bought root explorer now also so can i just use his build.prop instead to get everything? and if i can, when i downloaded it to my phone it came up as build.text..this accurate?

 

[davezx9]

So can I install this on the new 2.2 I did update...

how can I do this for my Droid 1 manually? I noticed my ring delay is 500, but never figured out a way to change it.
