if i edit my build.prop with astro, on a reboot the changes are lost, the file is marked r-w, so something altering it on bootup, anybody know where the source comes from??
Download Root Explorer and use that. Trust.
tried that, it keeps getting overwritten with some king of backup.

If that's the case, then it's a problem specific to the ROM. I haven't tried it on my TP2 but it worked flawlessly on my G1.
Lemme take a look once I get a second.

Because it does not excist in winmo. It only excists in android.
I tried Root Explorer and it workers . I use latest froyo build with lower incall volume kernel .
Can somebody tell me when I delete apps in system/apps folder I delete from data.img or from system.ext2 ?
Same here, I change my build.prop file or replace it and it gets overwritten.
Using the build.prop for protected apps but can't get it to stay.
I am using the latest BLAZEN build from PPCGEEKS/Reefer.
Being an Ext2 file instead of sqsh I figure this would have worked flawless.
I'd really like to download logmein, gbahours, paypal and a few other protected apps. I can't without fixing this build.prop file....
OR
Find some way to get a working fingerprint Google has already approved.
Glad to see I'm not the only one looking into this I have the same problem in my android OS - different phone, but same custom OS. Hopefully this thread won't die - if I ever figure it out I'll be sure to post here as well
Hello,
I found today a version of the default htc_ime with included cyrillic(bulgarian) language in it and tried to install it. The guide said to replace the .apk file in /system/app. I did that, restarted the phone and now the Touch Input method is missing in the options and missing when i try to change the input method.
Before replacing the file I kept a copy of the original on the sdcard. When things went wrong i copied my original file back to /system/app and restarted, but the problem remains. Still I don't have the Touch Input (htc_ime) keyboard present.
What else could go wrong when copying that file, what else could have changed, and how can I restore it ?
Yes I know i should have done a nandroid backup before doing that, but just thought nothing can go wrong, silly me ..
Did you change the permissions via chmod to 640 / rw-r-r ?
If not this could be the Problem...
This could be the problem. The other files in /system/app as seen in root explorer have permissions rw-r--r--, but the file I have copied has ---rwxr-x. My original file also has these, so i guess they are changed when I copied it through adb shell. I will change them when I get home and post an update of the situation.
You should be able to change the permissions from within RootExplorer.
Yes it worked. I changed the permissions through root explorer. I have the default keyboard again. Thank you, you are a life saver.

Go here, do what it says, problem solved! - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42236196&postcount=4837
All I would add is that you don't need to use twrp to fix permissions. You can do it yourself much quicker if you have this file manager app installed - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5yaG1zb2Z0LmZtIl0.

Hi,
Came across this post for the very problem, followed the instructions from the link, but the Wallpaper Chooser option still doesn't appear when I want to change wallpaper.
I have an S3 GT-i9300
Copied SecWallpaperChooser.apk & .odex from a backup.
Reset the permissions to -rw-r--r-- on the .apk
but
the .odex has persmissions -rwS--S--T ; I set them to -rw-Sr-Sr-T, but I don't know how to, or if I should, remove the SST permissions.
Any ideas?
Any help highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Alphonse
EDIT: I read somewhere that the numerical value for the permissions -rw-r--r- is 0644 and I had 7644, thus the SST. I simply deleted the 7 and left 644, rebooted, and it works fine now.
So I have successfully rooted my wife's TMobile D851, which was verified using joeyk root checker app from the playstore, but I am unable to edit the build.prop so I can hide the nav bar and install lmt launcher for pie control. Am I missing something? I have no issue with my Nexus 5 or any other phone I've tinkered with and I am drawing a blank on what the issue is.
I'm hoping it's something super obvious that I missed and I'll feel stupid after I'm told what I am doing wrong.

I had thought about that so before I made this post I did a adb pull /system/build.prop and edited it with notepad++, as you suggested, but then I am unable to actually push it back. Can I just put it into a folder on my phone and then use some root file browser like ES or whatever and set permissions that way?

Your description of the permissions is a little weird but I think I can figure it out. I imagine it's the same permissions the current build.prop has? My wife has now taken her phone and gone to bed so I will have to try this tomorrow. Thank you very much for your assistance!
I used BuildProp Editor from Play Store to optimize several things but when i used it to edit Android version, it doesn't seem to be applied (?). In About it still shows 5.0. I used ES File manager to read the build.prop, it says Android 7.0, so it must be saved.
I'm wondering if all my changes in this file was saved or not. Plz help me

You have multiple build.prop files inside the system folder (about 15 files). So, make this change on all the files and check again after restarting your phone...
