Problem editing build.prop

So I am trying to add Acid audio engine and after i run the simple .zips with just the neoxide addone i have the apps and can notice an effect but do not have the lines at the end of my build.prop. when i add them and save and exit, upon looking at it again the lines never saved. What am i doing wrong. I notice the audio difference but cant change any settings in the equalizer part of the mod. They change there is just no effect.

Try using clock work mod and flashing the zip.

S-Pen overlay location

Can anyone tell me which APK causes S-Pen overlay when you hold button and draw over any application?

Its probably system.ui

How to hide soft buttons?

I have seen many apps that hide the soft buttons on tablets and phones, but i need a way to hide only certain buttons. My tablet has five soft buttons, recent apps, back, home, and volume up and down. I don't need the volume keys, so i was wondering if there is a way to hide only certain soft buttons.
You can see the soft buttons in the screenshot.

No one?

it is called a nav bar. certain roms have a feature to disable it just like the statusbar. try settings or immersive mode.
Edit: certain soft keys you say, eh?
well that i cannot help with. try gravity box, or systemui.apk editing.

Try softkeyz in the app store I'm sure I have seen softkeyz packs with blanks should do what you need

Reducing the size of Google Keyboard - how can I do that?

I am using Google Keyboard, but it doesn't have an option to reduce its size. What I'm trying to do is use Xposed + App Settings, find the keyboard's process, and reduce its DPI. The problem with this is that it only affects the settings menu, and not the actual keyboard. I assume there's a separate process for the keyboard itself and another one for the settings.
Can you think of any way to do this? Swiping long words on a large keyboard is not very comfortable. Any ideas?

If you want a customizable keyboard try swifkey

I've tested all major keyboards and I'm not interested in any other one. Google Keyboard is almost perfect; I just need to make it smaller.

Bumping this thread as I too would love to know how to do this.

API does not allow DPI change

Hello fellow Androider,
I have tried doing this using Xposed framework and every other way I could google but it seems the scripts in the application framework do not allow us to change the DPI for the Google Keyboard.
I just gave up and at the moment I'm using a sweet alternative called Minuum Keyboard, I hope you'll thank me after you try it!!!
Peace,
Syed
