[SPOOF] Get 'experimental' features by spoofing Intl Optimus G

The features you are about to see are bugged, or not even working, or hangs. These stuff are purely experimental for your own attempt and curiousity. I have reverted to stock myself
Hi guys, with thanks to @non4 for this discovery in his thread Changes brought along by changing device ID!, i went on to find out what happens if spoofing our device as Optimus G? First i tried Korean Optimus G E973 and i got Wise Screen, DioDict, QuickTranslator, Video Editor (crashes on opening). Nothing about the battery screen as in @non4's thread.
Then I downloaded CM10.1 for E975 and extracted the build.prop, and indeed after changing the device product codes and ID, Magic happened
Here are the new features that comes along it, but first things first, no Qslide, no Eco Mode, no USB OTG:
- Optimus G's Video Player (swipe up/down to change brightness, left/right to reverse/forward) - Update via LG Application Manager, and this could be the one working with our Qslide developments? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231472
- DioDict, QuickTranslator
Partially re-mapped Settings (mostly networking related options)
- Airplane mode, WiFi hotspot, VPN, Mobile Networks formed new subsection 'Tethering & Networks'
- NFC, Android Beam formed new Settings subsection 'Share & Connect'
Bluetooth
- Additional 'Device search option'
Can select All devices, Headset, Mobile Phone, PC, Input device (keyboard, mouse, etc.)​Call
- Connection vibration
Vibrate phone when other party answers the call​- Privacy Keeper
Hide caller information during incoming call. Option: Hide all information, Show number only, Disable (default)​Sound
- Quiet Mode
- Vibration controls
- Gentle Vibration
- Vibrate strength
- Incoming call vibration
Long lasting, Rapid, Short repeated, Standard, Ticktock​Battery
- Battery Information, Expected Time to use/charged
Camera App
- Shoot in 13MP
Show-off only ​
How to apply? Backup your current O4X build.prop, do a CWM backup, then
change to these parameters in build.prop
ro.product.model=LG-E975
ro.product.brand=lge
ro.product.name=geehrc_open_eu
ro.product.device=e975
ro.product.board=geehrc

Can you take pictures with 13mp?
Are there better than 8mp?

of course you can't you can't take 13MP pics with 8MP hardware
it's just like you can't get 24V out of a 12V battery

Can you really change vibration strength?

doesn't seems like there's any change.
i think these changes are utterly bugged on our 4x, but then, they are still 'discoveries' i suppose LOL

[Q] About the NFC values in the build.prop C5303

For some reason my stock rom (see sig) had such values set to each of the NFC parameters:
Code:
ro.nfc.on.default=true
ro.nfc.se.sim.enable=true
ro.nfc.se.smx.enable=false
ro.nfc.icon.enable=false
ro.nfc.vendor.name=nxp
ro.nfc.limitation.camera=false
My question is: what do the variables set to false do exactly? The "ro.nfc.icon.enable=false" was easy to figure as i also found this explained elsewhere. It simply shows the nfc icon in the bar when it is turned on - i set it to true.
However, i couldnt find any explanation as to what do the other two do. I've only seen that everyone else (on xperia z for example) have that set to true. What is this smx and limitation camera? Why everyone else has them set to true? Are they significant? Perhaps i could get some examples as to who has those set to what value - after all it is a quick peek in /system/build.prop, if you are rooted that is.
Thank you all in advance! Peace.

bump
Since it is allowed id like to reask the above matter, bumping the topic. Again, thank in advance.

Anyone? Please? So many smart people here, and no one able to provide a simple answer?:crying:

So... now i got even more curious that no one can answer that easily :cyclops:

Code:
ro.nfc.on.default=true
>NFC is enabled by defeallt
Code:
ro.nfc.icon.enable=false
> No icon displayd
Code:
ro.nfc.vendor.name=nxp
> Name that will be displayd when connected to other device with NFC (?)
Code:
ro.nfc.se.sim.enable=true
ro.nfc.se.smx.enable=false
ro.nfc.limitation.camera=false
> I have no idea

Homescreen icons always redraws

hi all
my Xperia TX 4.3 maybe have problem all icon at main home screen always redraw when i run an app then quit by press Home button, i add
this code ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 to build.prop but didn't solve my problem. please help me. thanks.

ok, i've got it. check Disable HW overlays in develop options and no more redraw icons

I recommend reading part 1 also, but just to summarize:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ – BUSTED
This property is supposed to “keep the launcher in memory” under the assumption that it would somehow make it faster. Unfortunately, this is a leftover Gingerbread property that no longer functions in ICS.
Gingerbread:
Code:
// These values are set in system/rootdir/init.rc on startup.
...
HOME_APP_ADJ = getIntProp("ro.HOME_APP_ADJ", true);
ICS:
Code:
static final int HOME_APP_ADJ = 6;
Google likely removed the ability to configure this value via a build.prop setting in ICS so that users could not set inappropriate values here.
SUMMARY
As we have seen many times already, there are no “magic properties” that you can set that will simply make your phone [insert desired superlative]. That is not to say that all build.prop settings are pointless. Some can actually provide some useful functionality. The key is not to blindly throw a slew of “tweaks” into your build.prop, but to carefully consider each one and know what they do (if anything) before using them.
That’s it for part two. Let me know what build.prop settings you want to see in part three!

If you really want to keep your launcher in memory, you can use App Settings (xposed module); I know for a fact it works because I use it, or you can even do it yourself with a script such as:
#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 60
PPID=$(pidof com.whatsapp)
echo "-17" > /proc/$PPID/oom_adj

To lower the oom value of the app you want to avoid getting killed off by android.

[APP] CpuFloat [March27] Floating cpu, gpu, temperatures, deep sleep, network monitor

CpuFloat
Uses a floating window or the status bar to show
# the cpu frequencies
# the cpu temperature if (available)
# the text will turn red when the cpu temperature rises above the throttle temperature. You can set custom throttle temperature in preferences.
# the gpu frequency
# Gpu load; not normalised
# the gpu temperature if (available)
# the text will turn red when the gpu temperature rises above the throttle temperature.
# awake time; the time the phone has been awake since starting the app
# deep sleep time; the time the phone has been asleep since starting the app
# battery current
# battery current
# current upload and download speed
In preferences you can choose
# floating window layout; vertical or horizontal layout
# to show the window in the status bar instead of a floating window
# the categories to monitor; all, cpu, gpu, time, network
# which temperature sensor to use for cpu and gpu temperature
# to show the temperature in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius
# cpu throttle point; cpu temperature when the text should turn red
The app uses following permissions:
"android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" Needed for floating window, draw over other windows.
"android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" Read data to show e.g. Cpu frequency, temperature etc.
"android.permission.VIBRATE"

Very nice app.
Thanks dude

That's a nice idea. The app is working without problems as far as I can tell. Great job man!
Sent from my OPO running Sultanxda's CM 12.1

Amazing app! Thanks man!

Nice app

Nice app - similar to the one developed by Chainfire (called Perfmon) but this one shows you the awake time and the temps.
Thank you for this

update:
# rewritten to make it easier to use on other phones
# new app icon
# smaller window

Nice app. Would be nice to have a widget like that.
Sent from my Oneplus One using XDA Free mobile app

Bugfix
Temperature warning not showing in horizontal layout

Thank you for this! Really helpful for monitoring governor and hotplug.

Update
Rewritten
Much smaller now
# no notification
# no more StandOutWindow library

Because of a change in package name,
please delete previous version, else you'll end up with 2

Request
I'm trying to get the app to work on other phones, so if you have another phone, please test what's working.
If there's no cpu temperature, that probably means that the app can't find the temperature files. These are not the same on every phone.
If the phone is rooted, you can help me by copying and pasting below code in command line, with for example this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
And posting the outcome here, so I can add the missing file.
Code:
su
find /sys -type f -name *temp* -print0|while read -d $'\0' f;
do printf "$f= "&&cat "$f";done;
Thanks!
Gpu temperature is a bit more difficult, because you need to find out which temperature sensor is for the gpu, I found that information for the oneplus in
/etc/thermal-engine-8974.conf
Reported working on:
OnePlus fully working
Moto X gpu temperature not working
Samsung S4 gpu temperature not working
Thank you!!

Update
# used some icons instead of text
# option to show window in status bar
Edit
The app is fully working on the Sony Z3 Compact, it even uses the same files for cpu temperature and gpu temperature, maybe because it also has a snapdragon 801, but I'm not sure about that.

I must be missing something but how do I reopen the window after having tapped on it to close it?
Because opening the app from the drawer takes me to the preferences screen.

You're right, that's not very clear, I'll see if I can change that.
For now just change something in the preference screen and a new window will open.
Thank you for your reaction
