unable to add lines to buil prop - T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers

I have the lg g5 t mobile as the title says it im unable to add lines to build prop. My phone is stock rooted tried with root browser and build prop editor both of which fails. I cant even seem to type anything in the build prop file and the only way i can type in the file is if i delete a line to replace my own build prop stuff.
I have tried with both 10A rom and 10D no improvements

The build.prop gets truncated because it's so large. adb pull it to your pc, make your edits, then push it back and set permissions.

[ROM][Cyanogenmod 7.2RC0] with hardware accelerated browser

What I loved at HTC Sense was that webkit was hardware accelerated. On cm gerrit there was a patch (not merged) which enables hardware accelerated webkit on desire hd. So i compiled Cyanogenmod with this patch by myself.
I've forgot to set debug.sf.hw=1 in build.prop before signing:
after installing this rom please make the following steps:
Download ES File Explorer from the Android Market
Go to settings and scroll down and enable Root-Explorer and mount / and / system with write permission (don't know exactly how this option is called in english versions of ES File Explorer)
then go out of settings and touch the star in the left upper edge and select phone
open folder system and then open the file build.prop ES edit note
and then write at end in a new line "debug.sf.hw=1" (without the quotes) and the menu and safe
then reboot twice

Has anyone tried this yet?Also it'd be much easier to edit the .prop file with prop editor from the market.

Agreed, use Build Prop Editor, one of my must have apps
after rooting.

I thought I got prop editor for free from the market...I'll have to check.
*edit* 10chars
I'm curious to know if you will continue to merge the new code and possibly update with a new build?

Can't edit build.prop

Hi. I want to edit build.prop to get access to Samsung apps for my gear 2 neo. I edit build prop with an editor and apply but after restart the changes have reverted.
I'm on rooted stock with busybox installed via recovery (missing applets). Will I be able to edit build prop on a stick rom at all or do I need a custom?

[TASKER] Modifying build.prop

I have my navbar removed by adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to my build.prop. Every time I update my nightly, my build.prop reverts. I'd like some help in getting Tasker to check for that line at the end of my build.prop file, and if it's missing, add it and reboot the device.

[GUIDE][HUAWEI P8] Increase Headphones Volume

Hi guys, i was trying today to increase the earpiece volume but it was difficult to find any hints on how to do it, any help on how to do it will be appreciated. Anyway when i was searching i stumbled on a post on how to increase the Headphones volume instead.
Here is the post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50466456&postcount=5. Ty @Shadowprince94 & @hamdimo
Anyway i tried it and it worked, you need to be rooted for this to work.
Here are the steps to do it on P8:
* Make sure to make a backup of your rom in twrp before attempting this in case something goes wrong. Or you can make a backup of the local.prop file you are going to change.
1. Go to Settings -> About phone -> Custom Version: (Ex: CUSTC470 D001)
2. Go to /cust/hw using any file explorer with root. There will be 5 files, in each of them there is a prop folder inside it a local.prop file.
3. Now try to open each of the local.prop files in the 5 folders and see which of them has your cust version (The final two lines has the cust version in the file) for me it was C470 which was in the spcseas folder.
4. Now open the local.prop with the built in text editor of the file explorer with root and then change this two lines by adding a "#" before the code. Like this:
Before:
ro.config.ce_authenticate=1
ro.config.hw.security_enabled=true
ro.config.hw.security_volume=8
After:
#ro.config.ce_authenticate=1
ro.config.hw.security_enabled=true
#ro.config.hw.security_volume=8
5. Save the file. Make sure it has the defualt root permissions and restart the phone.
Good luck, by the way the increase is not much but better than before. :good:

[Request] build.prop file

Can someone please upload the stock build.prop file .
I'm not sure which version i need, whether 10A or 10D.
I have NEVER updated my phone (i got it in like april/may) and i am rooted.
In setting > Software version shows: Unknown
(Part of the reason i need a stock build.prop)
Edit: i found the 10D build prop here for anyone looking:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/stock-h830-10d-rom-flashable-zips-imgs-t3406505
An interesting observation is that some buildprop apps load the file while others cant (that all request rot permission).
Can someone explain why perhaps? Is this due to a permission on the file or something?
UPDATE: The phone will not boot bc i accidentally deleted the build.prom file entirely by restoring a seemingly blank version.
I really need a build.prop file now. #fail
Final update:
I was able to find a backup of my original build.prop
For anyone that may need it in the future, here is an upload of the Stock H830 10A build.prop:

Thanks in advance.
