[FIX] Fix poor AAC streaming performance (Pandora, Slacker, etc) on Froyo

Hey guys. I'm having trouble with the pull. After I pull build.prop to the C drive I can't find it there. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Those with Unrooted EVOs:
Sprint/HTC's OTA update, 3.29.651.5 released the last week of September, fixes the AAC streaming problem. (Remember the issue was Google's Android Froyo 2.2. Google acknowledged and fixed this, however it is up to each carrier-manufacturer to incorporate-and-release the Google fix).
Pandora and other streaming media & players produced exceedingly poor sound with AACs (not Pandora's fault, nor Sprint's, nor HTC's).
HTC/Sprint Release 3.29.651.5 mentions NOTHING about including this fix (so I haven't tried pandora or other streaming apps for weeks).
Noting a 2 week old post in Android Forums, i tried Pandora again, and it is AWESOME. sorry, newbie so I can't post the link...don't trust me. just try it if you haven't
It was already fixed (nice job Google/Sprint/HTC), and I didn't know it (horrible marketing: Sprint/HTC).
I LOVE MY EVO (again).

Anyone else notice a bug regression with this? I had signed up for slacker about a month ago and its been great, but I recently updated my rom for my evo to Caulkins latest 1.7.6 which includes a newer OTA and whatnot, however my sound quality has significantly decreased. Might give this fix a try for now see if that makes a difference.
You can...
Code:
$ su
su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
# setprop media.stagefright.enable-player true
setprop media.stagefright.enable-player true
# getprop media.stagefright.enable-player
getprop media.stagefright.enable-player

1When I installed Froyo on my N1, I found that streaming quality over Pandora suffered tremendously; low-quality was unbearable, and high-quality sounded worse than low-quality normally does. The change to StageFright from OpenCore is to blame here, while it improves HTTP streaming, it's AAC decoder doesn't decode LC-AAC streams properly.
To disable it temporarily, useand restart any applications actively playing anything. To disable it permanently, pull build.prop from /system and change the value there. When you restart, it should be disabled; use adb getprop to verify.Code:adb setprop media.stagefright.enable-player false
Of course, the phone needs to be rooted for this to happen, as r/w access to /system is required.1
awesome! although i have to say i don't really see (hear) a difference using pandora on cm6rc2
