[Q] Build.prop tweaks don't stick, reset when I reboot - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I'm pretty sure this problem could be common to all rooted devices, so I'm posting it in the general Q&A.
Basically, I would like to experiment with some build.prop tweaks I found around other XDA topics. I'm sure all of you know about the general tweaking of the said file, so I won't get into too much detail about it.
However, the changes just don't stick. They reset to default every time I reboot, as if the build.prop file never changed. So, how do I make them stick?
Phone details:
Phone: Xperia X8
ROM: FroyoPro v2.5
Kernel: Stock (can't unlock the bootloader, unfortunately)

Are you saving before exiting?

Of course! I even double-check if the changes were still there by opening the modified build.prop after the work is done. For the changes I used Root Browser Lite with the Text Editor pre-installed inside. This method does work well, as I used it to modify hw_config parameters related to governors a couple of weeks back.
I've read somewhere that sometimes changes aren't possible if the kernel is stock. Could that be the case here?
If not, are there any other methods I could use to modify build.prop?

A quick google caused me to find this thread and I too am having the same problem. I'm currently trying to edit my build.prop to unlock games which say they are incompatible. I'm using ES File Explorer and the built in text editor to edit and save the .prop file, I check if the changes have saved before rebooting my phone but when I turn it back on it has reverted back to stock.

Check if your ROM has a dual build.prop file. If one exists in system/bin, you ought to edit that one for the change to stick. This solved the issue for me, and might solve it for you.
If it isn't there, try using search, and if you find another one somewhere else then try editing that one. A simple matter, but apparently easily missed

I'm here to wake this thread up, because I'm having this same issue and I can't seem to find any duplicate build.prop file...
Anyone having a good suggestion for me please give it, all assistance is welcome.

You install root explorer and mount as r/w and copy the build.prop into your sd card (the unmoded one) and connect your phone to your pc and turn on usb copy file transfer or something like that. In your pc go into your sd and open your copied build.prop with notepad and mod it as you like. After that go into your root explorer and replace it with your original build.prop. Try on not bricking your phone bcz i bricked mine like that when i put a lot mods on it haha, make a cwm backup or if you know how to unbrick it in every case Hope i helped
Be sure its mounted as r/w otherwise you will not be able to do anything to system files.
Use the original root explorer or Andro Zip is recommeded by me

thank u for answering but sorry guys to say this , it's not the way of editing it , or the permission , when i make changes they are saved correctly and the device apply the changes in the start of the first boot after these changes are made , but during the boot (after applying the changes) the device restore the stock build.prop , so when the device finishes boot up the changes are applyed but the build.prop (i cheked it) is back to stock , this mean another boot & the changes are gone , :crying: :crying: no matter how many times or changes u do they are applyed only for the first boot after they are made

Maybe it has some stock security feed, try to go to custom roms i dont now what else can you do

thanks for the advice , actually i did that but you know there is always something to be fixed :silly:

I have the same issue with my Vodafone Smart Ultra 6. I have root and system has read write access according to ES File Explorer. But any app that has root privileges, writes just fine without errors. However, if I close the app and load it again, or reboot, any changes are lost. So if I remove a system app using a root uninstaller it will say the app has been uninstalled. But it's still there. Drives me insane.

Exactly the same on the Smart Ultra 6.
Was hard enough to get it rooted but seems any changes to the system partition/file system just don't stick. Short of putting a custom rom on it I'm stuck for ideas.
I'd love to know what causes this behaviour.

Any updates here? I just started running into this after updating to the 7.1.1 January factory image on my 5x. The weird thing is when i reboot in TWRP it all looks fine but when I look at my system directory from Android the boot-from-recovery.p is still there and my build.prop changes aren't...push TWRP again, boot to recovery read build.prop and it's my edited version. wtf?

I have found a solution which works in my case.
Edit build prop using any root explorer and save it.
Now once again edit the file with different root explorer app like amaze or es explorer with some comment line like
#comment
and save it.
Now it should prevent the build prop from resetting after a reboot.

I have the same problem: after reboot all the changes are gone....

Is it normal that my build.prop has the permissions -rw------ ?
This could be the problem.

[Q] Making Galaxy Tab 7 Plus External Card R/W

I originally rooted my 6210 with root.zip posted somewhere on XDA. I have tried the manual method of adding "media_rw" in the platform.xml file using Root Explorer, which I was able to do, but it turned off my internet connection when I rebooted.
I then reflashed with the stock ODIN, still no internet. I then rooted with Gary's 6210_CWMR_2010107.zip file and the Internet started working again and I was able to restore with TB.
However, the /sdcard/extStorages/Sdcard is still read only. I am using the 6210.
Any suggestions on how to get the Micro Sd card writable from the device?
Try this. Then check with Root Explorer to change back and forth permissions.

I tried that. I received R/W permissions to platform.xml, but sdcard/extStorages only has Read only permsissions. I put in the proper wording in platform.xml and it stuck, but no change to extStorages. The only thing that changed was I lost my Internet Connection.....Wifi still worked, just no internet.
Is it necessary to keep platform.xml r/w, or should I change it back to r/o?
Why dont you just download the files and flash it instead of changing the xml by yourself...

[Q] Boot animation won't work

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.

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.
Posted from my Fascinate using XDA Premium
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

but i don't know if that is the problem, anyway you can redo the whole process of rooting, starting with flashing stock or you can change the app
i use root explorer and it works nicely, never had a problem with it
another thing you can try is flashing a custom rom, maybe its a firmware problem

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

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

(LG V20, T-Mobile) Change Emoji from stock when rooted

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

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?
