I don't see the normal wifi scan interval setting in the build.prop file. Others have mentioned adding wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=90 to the file but no one has said it works. Anyone here found how to change the scan interval?

that is in gingerbread roms only....
Is this a samsung thing that they only put it in gingerbread roms. Because I have edited 2.1 and 2.2 android build.prop from other phone manufacturers for changing the interval
anyone know about my above question

It's not in the build.prop file on froyo. Use Blade Buddy (app) - in advanced settings; or to edit the text file directly in root explorer, navigate to data/local.prop (long press & edit text) - I set mine to 180.

Not sure, haven't used a GB rom for a samsung phone yet. But I think, according to an above post it might not... I came from a DX & moto had everything in the build.prop.

On my Charge, there is no data/local.prop
Inside the data folder, there is another folder named local, but nothing editable is inside.
I did a file search in Root Explorer for files named .prop
default.prop
/system/build.prop
/system/default.prop
were the only files that showed up.

Yeah, if you don't have it, it may have been created by blade buddy. Not sure if the file is functional or references another file... (I'm used to everything being in the build.prop file on moto) - guess I'll have to do some more searching.

I have installed the ep1h leak. The scan interval is listed in the build.prop one more reason to leave froyo

:[Disclaimer]:
As always, performing a "nandroid backup" from Clockwork Mod is recommended as a precaution.
Use this at your own risk!
:[Requirements]:
An Epic 4G with Clockwork Mod recovery installed (preferably 3.0.0.6).
A text editor to edit the config file.
Note:: The EB13 files are from deodexed EB13, and are intended to be used on an EB13 based Rom.
Note:: The EC05 files are from deodexed EC05, and are intended to be used on an EC05 based Rom.
:[Description]:
This is a configurable zip that has the ability to selectively remove and restore system apps.
This is a follow up to this proof of concept.
:[Features]:
Selectively remove and / or restore any of the 66 system apps listed below.
User configurable by editing a config file that is placed onto the SD card.
[Download EB13 zip package here.]
[Download EC05 zip package here.]
:[Usage]:
This download files are not flash-able zips! (The flash-able zip is inside the downloads)
#1:: Extract the 2 files that are in the zip package onto your computer.
#2:: Copy the "system_apps.zip" onto your SD card.
#3:: Make the desired changes to the "system_apps.cfg" file, changing "no" to "yes" as desired.
For example, to remove qik, change
remove.system.qik=noto
remove.system.qik=yesNote:: If you don't make any changes to the "system_apps.cfg" file, the zip will not do anything other than output text!
Note:: Make sure your file is saved with unix line endings (Windows users do not create any new lines and you should be OK).
#4:: Copy the "system_apps.cfg" onto the root of your SD card ("/sdcard/system_apps.cfg").
#5:: Use Clockwork Mod recovery to install the "system_apps.zip".
:[Included apps]:
AppWidgetPicker was taken from Bonsai 3.0.1, but originated here.
LbsTestMode was taken from here, credit goes to BThomas22x it seems.
The rest of the EB13 files came from Dameon87's Stock Deodexed EB13 Rom.
The rest of the EC05 files came from Bonsai4All_EC05_UnTouched.
I have confirmed with k0nane that none of these files should effect the CIQ removal.
(With the possible exception of EC05's SprintID "W_Installer.apk" file, but who in their right mind is going to install that?)

:[Q & A]:
What happens when the system_apps.cfg file is missing or in the wrong location?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Clockwork Mod recovery will give a status 7 error.
What happens if I change "no" to something besides "yes or "no" in the config file?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The script checks for "yes", so if the value is anything else, the item will be skipped (just stick with "yes" and "no").
What happens if I did not use unix line endings?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Clockwork Mod recovery will give an error. Probably status 7, but possibly status 6.
Why does it take so long to boot after running this?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Because it clears out the cache and dalvik-cache, causing it to be rebuilt.
:[Testing]:
This has been tested and confirmed working on an Epic 4G running Bonsai 4.0.0.

great idea, thank you.

neat! thanks
also what i do is use sdx stock app removal. when there is actually a stock app that i like i backup that app. then when i flash new roms with all bloat removed i can restore the stock apps of my choosing. the biggest one i do this with is the terrible bubble mms app and put back the eclair mms.
Updated for EC05, check OP.

Awesome bro Thank you
will it matter to flash the whole file as it is..without checking for any existing apks?? ie if i already have qik foreg.. and i dont change that to no... should it be still ok?
I want to try this, was just going to wait for the next SFR version so I can do it all at one time during my 'scheduled maintenance window'. (Reading that makes me feel that I've spent too many years in IT.) Just 2 questions:
1. There are a bunch of apps that I have removed before, like mms.apk/browser.apk, using sdx stock app removal tool and it causes FCs. Is this different if removed from CWM? If so, do we know which of these sys apps are required?
2. If I am not installing particular .apks, can they be removed from the zip to make it smaller?
App .apk brief description
To the OP,
Can you put a brief description on what each .apk is for the ones that are not known by reading them? For example, I have no idea if I still need to install FactoryTest.apk, cm-android.apk, HiddenMenu.apk, SN28-1100-sprint-signed.apk...? For some, I have no idea what it is and it would help if you can put a brief description on what the apk is?
There is a brief description of all sys apps in a thread called all app safe to remove. Search for it or page back to it in the dev section.

As the OP states, all values are defaulted to no, so flashing as is will only print text to the screen and waste your time.

#1 - I did my best to only include things that could be safely removed, but YMMV.
There's a link below to a thread of apps and what they do, if they've been removed safely, etc...
#2 - Yes, removing the apks from the zip is fine if you are only doing removals.

Does the config file have an extension, like "config.txt" - if so, then you can use root explorer on your phone and rename the file without the extenstion or the appropriate extension - you can't change the file extension to none on the PC because the PC needs the extension.
I am not stating this because I have the same problem as you, but I had another instance that was simuliar needing a certain file structure, so this is what worked for me - and maybe work for you.
Good Luck - hope this helps!
I had My Wildfire rooted(CM7 Nightly Rom).
By default System folder doesnt have build.prop file. i extracted the build.prop from the rom and pasted with few changes.
for eg. default ringtone to Rigel.ogg(orginal config Playa.ogg)
But my phone isn't changing Playa.ogg(Default) to Rigel.ogg
What i concluded is andorid is not reading the build.prop file
any suggestion?
Thanx

Idk if I'm right , but since by default it has no build.prop that means it won't read that file .
Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App
So can u please tell me how to make my Phone read the configuration mentioned in build.prop??
Hmm, wich nightly do you have?
CyanogenMod-7-Nightly-buzz
My only tip is make sure you are using a plain text exitor like notepad or notepad++ because otherwise the formatting can stop the roms from working.
Thanks for your reply..
actually i figured it out myself.
"Build.prop only works at the time of flashing"
I flashed my wildfire with updated build.prop and it reflected the changes that i made.
my real motive was to use timescape widget with Arc launcher.
can you guide me with this.
I downloaded Sac's v2 ROM and I got used to the Recent apps where it usually is, my question is, is there anyway to flash a zip file or replace a file in order to achieve the stock button functions? I flashed his "hold home for recents" but its not the same as I'm used to.
You can take the android.policy.jar from system>framework in v1 and swap it and all buttons will go back to normal. (change permissions and such of course when replacing any system files)
I swapped the android.policy.jar files the other day, and as a result the phone just wouldn't boot. I'm guessing this is due to not setting permissions. How should permissions be set for the new file when it is swapped? And in addition, should permissions for other files placed in system be set the same exact way (for future reference)? I know how to change them, but do not know how they should be or why they should be set a certain way

The folder is set to rw-r-r- but there is a new flashable zip just posted in the sac23 thread
Not sure but I replaced the Android.policy.jar file from v1 to v2, worked like a charm. Took maybe 5 to 6 minuted to boot.
Hi.
I have a XOLO-ONE [non-rooted] and recently updated it via the "software update" option in the system information tab of settings. It runs Lollipop 5.0.0.
I noticed that before updating, it showed a prompt saying "no update.zip found in root of memory card, download?" I found out that you can download the update.zip from xolo's official site. It was about 30 mbs.
Now, i wonder if i can edit it's contents(updater-script, apps, etc...) and apply the update to my phone?
I repeat, it is NON-ROOTED.
The zip file contains the following folders:
META-INF
PATCH
SIG
SYSTEM
scatter.txt [FILE]
type.txt [FILE]
There is no boot.img.
Has anyone tried it? Was it successfull? If yes then please write. Your opinions would be appreciated.
Yes you can do so and its possible flashing a update.zip using stock recovery.
You can edit and change apps amd do anything but remember to update any changes you have done in zip to updater-script carefulley. And set correct permissions to them
Peace
:good::laugh::victory:
Thanks man.
Uh, can tell me how to edit the build.props file?
It is stored as a .p file.
Yes why not opsn the file as a text file in any text editor either on amdroid or on pc.
Now you can change the following things.
1-- change the android version
ro.build.version.release=4.4.2
Edit the number to version you want
2-- change the screen pixel density
ro.sf.lcd_density=200
Edit the value to nearby values only.MY DEFAULT WAS 240 AND I CHANGED IT TO 200 AND IT LOOKS NICE.
3-- change the delvic heap value
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=10m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=68m
delvik.vm.heapsize=256m
Edit the values but only multiply the default values by 2. If any value after multiplying is mord than the ram of your device itself then do mot change the value.
4-- add these lines to the build.prop in end for display enhansment
video.accelerate.hw=1
debug.sf.hw=1
debug.performance.tuning=1
debug.egl.hw=1
debug.composition.type=gpu
After doing so save the file normallt.
Zip the folders and flash them again.
Peace
I would do that but.....
Yes, I would do that but the problem is that the file has a .p extension.
I did some research and found that it is a patch file created by using a program called BSDIFF ( or something like that). The installer-script processes that file by comparing it's checksum and patching the data into the existing file..
Now I'm not sure if creating a custom build. Prop. P file and updating my. Zip file with it will be okay. What if I get into a boot loop? My xolo isn't rooted either.
But, I'm not the expert.
So, tell me about your opinion. Is it safe?
Thank you for your help. ( for before & in advance )
no just name it as build.prop and nothing else. itd a property file and not a .p file.
simply place the build.prop in zip file with this name only. no other name OK.
and flash it.
but if you are rooted then just edit the original file in aystem folder and savf it there only. just open and edit and reboot to see effects.
peace

I found out how to do so and I'll be answering myself once more :
In order to add only the files you want to replace in a zip (or apk) sub-directory and choose what compression method used with 7-zip, we simply do as we do with flashable zips:
- you create a folder named "res" on your desktop;
- you crete a folder named "raw" on your desktop;
- you drag the folder "raw" into the "res" folder
- you choose the sound files [of your choice] [in wav format] and rename them to match which ever one(s) you want to replace in the apk and add them in that "raw" folder;
- you right-click on the "res" folder on your desktop and select: 7-zip/"Add to Archive..."
- you select you new Swiftkey apk (rename it first);
- you make sure that "Store" is selected in the "compression level" field;
[see pic - I've changed spacebar and normal key sound in that example]
- Re-sign the apk

Hi.
I am totally new to this site and app developing in general. I used the above method (ty AL) to modify the Swiftkey Keyboard app and now just need to re-sign the apk and install it on my device ( ZTE Blade Z Max) I googled how to and found Android Studio, i just am having trouble using it I guess. Im just starting to learn how to modify/develop android apps.
If anyone knows how or can offer up another method for re-signing please help! Much appreciated and tyvm.

You need to install the Signer add on. Settings--->add one. After that, long press your apk you want to sign hit settings button, then scroll to sign. Choose with automatic i believe. Refer to the MiX FAQ thread. Link located in OP of MiX thread.

Signing worked! fantastic.
Decided I wanted to change more of the sounds in swiftkey to have a couple more themes with the original one i modified so I went through the 7zip process described in an earlier thread, except this time when i did it it didnt replace the mp3 sound files in the apk with the waves I wanted to substitute. This time it just added the .wav(s) to the apk while leaving the .mp3(s) there along with them. seems wierd. I changed the names of the .wav(s) to the same as the ones i wanted to replace, right clicked folder and hit add to archive. Selected drop down menu and selected apk and made sure store was the option selected and zip was the method selected. No go. Any suggestions?
