As many of you know, there are high numbers of so-called "tweaks" you can add to your build.prop for "performance". However, after testing some of them I noticed quite a few actually hindered performance. I am not a follower of these "placebo" affects as many are consumed by. I stumbled across this article which was written by someone who shared the same results. Sort of a MYTHBUSTERS but for build.prop edits.

I always knew a clean build.prop ran smoothest =)

I've always wondered why people think these things can magically make your phone 100x better. Why wouldn't they be set by default then?

Lol not sure why either. Everytime I download a rom, the first thing I do is clean up the build.prop lol
