and Home Screen
This tweak is quite handy, and the feature was available in
the earlier versions of Android. It has been disabled in the
latest version, but there is a provision in the build.prop file
to override it. Add the following piece to code at the end of
the build.prop file. Even if you have a Launcher app
installed, it will work just fine.

lockscreen.rot_override=true

log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE

2# Boosting Internet Connectivity

provider) DNS for providing internet connectivity. But
Google provides free DNS for mobile users. You can use
them and boost your internet connectivity and have a
smoothly surfing. Add the following line of code at the end
of the build.prop.

net.dns1=8.8.8.8
 net.dns2=8.8.4.4

3# Easy Scrolling

your smartphone, it would be great for you if you can
increase the fluidity of the scrolling so that reaching a file
located in the lower half of the list does not take ages.

ro.min_pointer_dur=8 ro.max.fling_velocity=12000

ro.min.fling_velocity=8000

like when you check out your friends’ display picture on
WhatsApp, you need to boost the speed of rendering with
the following.

to have navigation buttons on your screen to make your
old smartphones modern.

by default. You can enable and have an awesome user
experience.

ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=1

12# Increase Time Duration For WiFi

scanning

automatically after every 15 seconds. It can affect your
performance and hence, you can increase the time period
with the help of the following.

13# Boost Booting Speed

If your smartphone bores you while restarting from switch
off mode, you need to enhance the booting speed with the
following.

ro.config.hw_quickpoweron=true
14# Let The Phone Ring Sooner
When a person calls you, your smartphone waits a few
seconds to verify the connection before start ringing. You
can avoid the delay with the following code.

ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=0

ring.delay=0

15# No Black Screen Issue After Call

Sometimes smartphones show black screen once a call
ends. If you have that issue, paste the following code at
the bottom of the build.prop and watch the magic.
