I don't even know how, but I was changing the LCD density on my phone and I didn't like it, so I went to fix it back to 240, and the entire thing was blank when I entered text editor (Using Root Explorer btw). I just exited it to make sure it was the right file, and then it's gone. GONE.
I'm a little scared. Could someone please post a build.prop for the Samsung Infuse 4G?
Oh, and if it matters, I'm on Infused 1.5.3
BTW: I did back up the file before touching the original, but the backup is gone, too.
FIXED: Downloaded the Custom ROM, extracted, emailed myself the file, copied back to directory. Yup.
EDIT:
Reported as not working. =(
Hello,
scrolling through the forum and found this. Quickly read through it and it should work for most phones. Ill give it a try in a bit on my skyrocket with ICS.
Must have a Deodexed Rom installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583232
trying it now
Make sure you do a back up before. It hasnt been tested w/ the skyrocket yet. I am doing a nandroid then applying it.
doesnt work, it opens, but crashes almost immediately, a freeze, then in 30 seconds force closes...it looks sooo nice though!!
How did you get it to install. I tried to copy it into the system/app folder and it wants to replace it, i hit yes, and it doesnt replace it... Getting frustrated.
rename the old Mms.apk to "Mms.apk.bak" and then paste the new "Mms.apk" onto /system/app/ and it will install, then reboot...
Trying to rename it and it keeps saying i dont have the rights. I used Root Explorer and when i hit the Ro/Rw button it wont change it to RW. Then i used ES File Explorer and i clicked the option to enable RW on /system but it still wont let me rename it. Using the ICS NexusMod BETA 3.
your system isnt writeable, flash a different rom, or different kernel..
Trying this on MHX 5.0 will report back shortly. Nope.
issue seems to me is that there are related files not just the apk, like for the VVM i pulled for someone else, they needed the jar and xml files i gave them too. we need someone with a nexus to go a search for mms in root explorer and give us everything.
Has anyone on Nexusmod tried this?

Uses CM9 framework... For some reason i cant get the stupid file to work. Keeps reverting back to the stock when i paste it. I fixed my permissions issue.
did you remember to change it to RW from RO in the top of root explorer?

Nope, FC's
SGT 2 7.0 , rooted it last night with the tutorial here, cm10
Root checker says its good and I can install root apps
I'm dieing to install a custom boot animation and the moving the zip file into system/media folder just isn't working. I believe the other suggestion was to move the zip file, it Root Explorer, into the data/local folder thats not working either
Someone help a poor noob? Hey, I'm not that bad, I got this far on my own
As far as I know, the kernel maker has to support this feature, and it's not in the stock ROM. You have to go CM or similar for this feature.

I'm pretty sre I'm on Cm10
Sorry, didn't see that. Use ES file explorer for the copying, it has good error messages. Make sure to enable mounting system in ES settings. You may need to download "mount system rw" from Play Store. You could also download Rom Toolbox Pro, which will do it for you, but it costs something like $5.

meh
no luck there either and they make it look so easy haha. ah well, thanks anyways

Okay this could be a couple of things...
First if your new animation is already named bootanimation.zip it won't let you overwrite the existing one. Delete the existing CM10 bootanimation.zip file in the system/media directory. Now you should be able to move the new animation file to the target directory.
If that doesn't work make sure ES File Explorer has the rights to make these changes.
Go to ES File explorer settings.
3rd from the bottom it says root settings.
Click on that and check all 4 things in the next menu.
Super User should prompt you allow access for ES File Explorer. Grant it.
Reboot.
Now you should be able to move the file you want to the media folder in the system partition.
After you put in the new file you may have to update the file permissions as well. I forget what they are supposed to be but I usually just check everything as read/write for all permissions options on bootanimations.
If none of that works...I dunno...come back with more specific errors you are encountering. Specific error messages, etc.
sheesh
I've done every instruction, followed them to the letter and the default boot ani won't even go away although i can find no hint of any boot ani files anywhere. it appears to function as it should, deletes the files, moves the new ones, file permissions are ok... there's just no change whatsoever, it's kind of baffling. my tablet may be possessed by he devil.
Waitwaitwait. You're saying there is NO bootanimation.zip in /system/media and it still has the stock bootanimation? Try doing a system-wide search for bootanimation.zip using CM file manager. If it does come up, note its location. If there is no bootanimation.zip in the correct folder, Android will play one hardcoded into the kernel, an image of flashing "android" text. So if there is no animation in the right place and you still see the stock CM one, you are putting it in the wrong place.

wowzers!
OK, so I realized that I didn't have cm file browser and did a search and finally did the nightly update. What a trip that was. It got stuck on the boot ani and wouldn't shut off or anything so I had to wait for the damn thing to run its battery dead. It starts and definatly has a different ani now. The whole new layout is messing me up bad, took me several hours just to get back online.
I have even more questions now.
BTW I'm on android version 4.1.4 now I believe.
For instance, apparently I still have all my apps installed because if I go to the store it says so and won't let me download them but I can't find them anywhere.
And some how I disabled that bar on the bottom that allows me to go back or switch windows and if I go into a program I can't get out of it because I can't switch windows.
HELP! AAAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!
ok
I got the window switcher bar back, it was extended desktop option. Still can't see these apps I supposedly have instslled.
Oops. Sorry about that.

If you have a titanium or cwm backup, wipe data and restore it.
Posted from my Galaxy Tab with CM10
Try using ROM Toolbox Lite, it's a free app. It worked for me.
In Lineage OS 13 it's possible...
Like mentioned above - in LOS 13 from AndroidAndi it's possible to change/overwrite the existing bootanimation.zip contained in system/media. Done here with a nice Aurora Borealis bootanimation

Above is the ram fix for the s6, I am pretty new to this kind of stuff and I read some verizon users were getting bootloops from editing the build.prop . If it is possible can anyone make a guide through it or post their build.prop if successful?

I gave it a whirl. No bootloop here. I'm on OC3 firmware running Ricks rom.

so did you have to do anything after editing the build.prop? Like "after editing make sure permissions are 0644 on it or you will boot loop."
I do not know where to find permissions
EDIT: I just changed these and it worked:
ro.config.dha_cached_max=12
ro.config.dha_empty_max=36
ro.config.dha_th_rate=2.3
ro.config.dha_lmk_scale=0.545
ro.config.sdha_apps_bg_max=70
ro.config.sdha_apps_bg_min=8
ro.config.oomminfree_high=7628,9768,11909,14515,16655,20469

Most root explorers will show and allow permissions to be changed.
I actually edited mine via an app but I've done it through my root explorer text editor as well. Probably need to copy it off root drive. Edit it, then copy back. Some people say to copy it to the root folder first. Set permissions, them copy/move it to the system folder to overwrite it. Then, reboot.
I left this line out. Should I have?
ro.config.oomminfree_high=7628,9768,11909,14515,16 655,20469
It was on on CleanROM to begin with.

According to the post, that line should have been inserted.
so i had quite an issue - my first go at it was done by copying build.prop via adb to my computer, editing and pushing back - after that, i nearly bricked the device. had to roll back to stock rom using odin .. not fun. now i decided to try again (cause i'm a masochist apparently) but i just edited the file using ES - no problems, no boot loops.. all is well for now - hopefully will see fewer apps closing for no reason. hooray.
i can say downloading the build prop that was posted here and replacing mine with it will brick a phone
Thought i'd put this on it's own thread so it doesn't get lost in the sea of comments where i put it originally. Mods, if this belongs somewhere else please move.
For anyone wanting to change their emoji and not sure if you want to use that switcher app, its very simple. Install ES file explorer (i can't imagine most of you don't already have it) and go to system/fonts and locate "NoToColorEmojii.ttf" and rename it to your liking (i just renamed it with NoToColorEmojii_OLD.ttf). Then download a replacement TTF emoji file, i used this one :
http://www.mediafire.com/file/oe85f3h5mj0731k/NotoColorEmoji.ttf
NEW WORKING LINK POSTED
download it and put it in the same folder the old one is in, reboot your phone, and viola, you're good to go.
Hope this helps!
YES! Thank You for doing this.

Can you try that again? I think its just that it looks that way cause you can't preview this file. there should still be a DL button.

Im rooted and still cant edit system files. I re-ran the recowvery script, and when i got to TWRP, I swiped to allow changes to the system partition. Then flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip then flashed SuperSu.
I am certain about root priviliges. SuperSU prompts me when root is required, and I am using a custom rom.
I used a script in the app RomManager to mount system RW to no avail.
I am using ES File Manager. I dont understand this, so any help is appreciated. Thanks

I'm not a noob by any stretch but I'm feeling like one again with this LG stuff so just to clarify this is basically just a guess, but if you're positive you have root access then it sounds like the problem could be with the file explorer you're using. I don't use es file explorer myself so if it is the problem I couldn't tell you why, but I use solid explorer and I haven't had any issues with modifying system files. Anyway just thought I'd throw it out there in case you haven't already tried with a different file explorer. Hope it helps

That's good advice. My first thought exactly. I think the real problem was i had assumed the rom came with Busybox already installed. I installed Busybox when scripts for read/write access wouldnt run in apps that required it. Now things work perfectly.

It's funny because I had a similar problem when I first installed Adaway because it would download the updated host but it kept failing to install, and then it finally dawned on me when I was doing something else that required busybox that it wasn't already installed because for some reason I also had just assumed it was. Anyway I'm glad to hear you got it figured out ?

Okay. I can change the file of the original .tff to *_OLD.tff but cant copy and paste the new one to the /system/fonts directory because its a "read only directory". Yet ES File Explorer says Readable and Writable.
Any ideas i can try?

So i tried this deal and even after renaming and replacing i get no emogi anymore. Check picture attached. And renaming back old to normal did not help either. I did a factory reset and emoji still missing. Can some help. Thanks
