[how to] add hardware acceleration and more - G Tablet General

ok so im not responsible for anything that happens to you or your tablet....
this will add HW acceleration and adb in your build.prop(not fully test on g tab) and some other things with the kernel
lets begin
this has been only tested on ICS right now ill test on GB later
this WON'T work with a build.prop editor you are going to have to open the actual file
you NEED to be ROOTED
there are 2 ways of doing this and i will show both methods...
method 1.)
Code:
1.) with a root file explorer goto /system
2.) long press on the build.prop file till the menu comes up
3.) press "open in Text Editor
4.) paste the code into your build.prop and hit back
5.) when it ask if you want to save your changes hit yes
6.) reboot
note:**this was done with Root Explorer; it might and very well could be different in other apps.**
method 2.)
Code:
0.) you need the android sdk and adb working
1.) adb remount
2.) adb pull /system/build.prop
3.) open the file and paste the code into your build.prop
4.) adb push build.prop /system
5.) adb reboot
here is the code please add it to the end, so after whatever your last line is add this
Code:
ro.secure=0
ro.debuggable=1
persist.adb.notify=0
persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.mount.playsnd=0
persist.service.debuggable=1
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
ro.kernel.checkjni=0
com.qc.hardware=true
debug.enabletr=true
ro.min.fling_velocity=8000
ro.max.fling_velocity=12000
ro.config.nocheckin=1
video.accelerate.hw=1

[SOLVED] - Manually enable adb debugging from recovery

First off, this may seem a noob question, but I am definitely not.
I have an Iconia A200 that now has a broken lcd screen. No display, no touch. I am able to get into the tablet from TWRP via adb, but not from Android (Jelly Bean). It seems I never enabled usb debugging when I installed the custom rooted rom.... I can access the file system and modify anything... Which files need to be modified to enable debugging in Android? Here is what I tried:
Added to default.prop and /system/build.prop
Code:
persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb
Edit: Must have had typos... It now works.

I'm going to stay general and assume that a skyrochet is a phone, you have a linux or windows pc with ADB installed (and the drivers to connect to your phone) and have TWRP or CWM Recovery installed already...
1) Start the phone in recovery mode - mine is power down and vol
2) Connect you cable to the pc and start a console terminal or cmd prompt
3) Run the following
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >> default.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >> default.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb" >> default.prop
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb" >> /system/build.prop
Once you reboot into Android you should be able to connect via adb.
If you google vnc over adb you can get a usable but very slow vnc connection then install Andriod VNC server for a little better performance.
That's the best I can do from memory ...

The issue is your not running adb server as root.
Hello. Does possible enable accesibility and set default tts via adb shell, and edit default.prop and build.prop?
Thanks and best regards.

OMG! After my screen broke, i raged and became hulk. After 3 hours of internet-searching the hulk found your post and released me to become bruce banner again...
The thank you button was just not enough!
Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I need a bit more help with this. I've successfully followed these instructions to enable the adb service on my i9505 with a dead screen, however it hasn't authorised it. When I try to connect I get the following error: error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device.
Is there anyway to bypass this confirmation dialog from ADB in recovery (Philz Touch)?
Thanks.

No, I'm quite sure it is booting to my custom recovery, as I have full ADB access to that. What I'm trying to do is enable ADB access to the Android 4.4.2 proper from my custom recovery. So far following the instructions in this thread I've managed to enable ADB there, but whenever you try to connect to this phone a dialog box is meant to come up asking if you want to accept incoming ADB requests from your computer's key. Unfortunately I have no way of selecting accept (or even seeing that dialog box), so I'm hoping there's a way to bypass it.
Hey mate,
Sorry to necro-bumb the thread. I have been reading and have much similar issue to your self. Maybe some drivers that automatically enable adb, android usb or MTP without debugging enabled might be something to take a look at?
Check this thread out >>> here
Hope that might help (you and I both?)
Besides that I am still searching for a post I saw where you can edit the init-rc in the kernel (the guy explained how to extract the boot.img) and then decompile the kernel, edit the init-rc, recompile the kernel and then flash it back in recovery.
At the moment I am really stuck with a customer device that is bricked, so have a bash script and busybox binary that loads from a signed update.zip that should allow editing of the init-rc and add the lines mentioned in this thread to the build.prop and system.prop.
Fingers crossed it works for a completely stock device :fingers-crossed:

Hi mate, did you manage to get into the customers mobile? I have the same problem as I'm locked out with no access to enable USB debugging and a home button which does not work, meaning I can't load recovery mode to wipe the phone

Thank you, I had no clue how, but my phone's (MUCH Snail, aka MUCH W1, aka MUCH 78P01) manufacturer (China's Snail Mobile) had removed from Android's Developer Options menu the option to Enable/Disable USB Debugging.
I was looking all over the web for days, this was the only way I could effectively turn on USB debugging in my phone. Thanks!
There's only one difference, instead of performing the above steps from an ADB console window (for obvious reasons) I did it with Build.prop Editor, but first I needed to change permissions to 666 on the default.prop file (otherwise it wouldn't save my changes).
Curiously, every time I do a full reboot the default.prop file somehow is overwritten with the manufacturer's original settings - that doesn't happen when I soft reboot my device though. Any clues as to what could be reversing my changes at boot?

Everytime you boot your phone, the root path is extracted from ramdisk which is usually bound to kernel. As a result, your modification is overwritten. In order to modify files under root path(such as default.prop), you must change the file in ramdisk.
There is many tools and tutorials about this task, I think this is a good point to google.
Addition:
The poster of this thread try to edit default.prop via adb, which is not possible to achieve, at least, for every android device I has hold.
For the unauthorized issue, It's because secure adb, which could be disabled via ro.adb.secure=0, but if there is a ro.adb.secure=1 in default.prop, modification of ramdisk is needed.

I had edited both default.prop AND /system/build.prop not knowing which one to use. This worked for me on JB and I used the tablet for a while after that.

In my view, the /system/build.prop works.

[Q] Is it possible to flash stock build.prop ??

Sorry for my bad english.
I got a soft brick in my Moto G by changing this line in build.prop
ro.sf.lcd_density=320
for this line
ro.sf.lcd_density=260
My question is if is possible to flash the stock build.prop in /system folder?? Because I didn't make a backup of any picture and I wouldn't like to lose everything.
If it is possible. Would you bring me the .zip file?
By the way, I have this rom in my phone "US_retail_XT1032_KXB20.9-1.8-1.4_CFC.xml"
Easy:
1) get stock build.prop
2) adb push c:\build.prop /system
3) Reboot
alternatively to 1) you can
a) adb pull /system/build.prop c:\
b) edit build prop with editor
c) adb push c:\build.prop /system
(had the same problem with density=1320)

Turn on adb from default prop

Go to default prop from vendor . Open default prop.Find
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp
Add adb after mtp and save and reboot.
Done
Like this .
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb
Yea, but there'll be a comma
Should be like mtp,adb

Enable ADB-ROOT from shell ?

Is it possible to enable root debugging from the command line. The rom that I'm using is missing the setting in developers options. When trying adb root I get the
Code:
ADB Root access is disabled by system setting - enable in Settings -> System -> Developer options
I don't believe it's totally disabled because I don't get the "adb root is not allowed in production builds". I think it's there but no switch to toggle. Haven't found anything searching for setting name and would need correct value and table if it can be set. Anybody know how to toggle it on from shell ?
Command adb root works in development builds only ( i.e. eng and userdebug which have ro.debuggable=1 by default ). So to enable the adb root command on your otherwise rooted device just add the ro.debuggable=1 line to /system/build.prop file.
If you want adb shell to start as root by default - then add ro.secure=0 as well.

Thanks, actually looking into it, I don't know what to think about it. It is a user build of crdroid. I can not and absolutely do not understand the point of building a user build to post on XDA. The fact that someone is installing a custom rom kinda throws a user build out the window AFAIFC. It didn't even dawn on me to check if it was userdebug or not, in my mind, of course it is. That's what I get for thinking I guess. I like CrDroid so syncing source now, time to sync and build I should have an eng build in about 3 hours.
Take note that if adbd in your phone's firmware is build without ALLOW_ADBD_ROOT then you're wasting your time.
