I have galaxy s6 920I stock latest firmware, rooted and TWRP recovery. I wanted to use some build.prop tweaks like wifi scan interval etc.
So I have edited the build.prop file taking all the necessary care rebooted but those tweaks don't seem to work. I even used the build.prop editor from jrummy but same thing.
How do I make the tweaks work like in custom roms.

It seems Android pay is blocking custom ROMS and root. Hiding the SU binary and pushing a stock build.prop dont seem to alleviate the situation. Does anyone know of a workaround that allows one to keep his root and/or ROM?
I saw this pic on reddit when a user asked google http://imgur.com/FVhQPTz
It uses the SafetyNet API.
Tried setting it up on a stock / signed ROM, went through fine. Tried to backup the app+data and restore it on a custom ROM. Saw my complete account screen for a split second before the 'add new card' window came back and wouldn't go away.
This would not surprise me. Don't be surprised if you can't get around it. Root is too much of a security risk for something like that
I'm not very good with hacks and workarounds but I tried this and it didn't work.

No luck on a Moto X (2014)...anyone else having any luck?
Nope
No luck on Safteynet API, root cloak, disabling root aps, etc. LG G3 modified stock rom and kernel.
in SuperSU i just disabled SU, NOT unroot, and then it allowed me to add card. im stock rooted s5
Same here
I'm reading that "custom ROMs are missing some proprietary files that Android Pay relies upon"

It may allow you to add the card, but when you re-enable SU, Pay will not go through when trying to use it.
Downgrade to an 8.x version of Google Wallet. All versions in the 9.x range were preprogrammed to disable themselves when Android Pay came out. I switched back to 8.0-R190-v25 that's preinstalled on my Nexus 5 and disabled automatic updates for Android Pay on the play store.
If you have something like Titanium Backup (which most would if they're rooted), you can also detach Wallet form the Market, meaning it shouldn't know to update it.
Okay, let me start off by saying I thought I could not give up root for Android Pay. I tried workarounds, e.g., temporarily disabling supersu, which let me add cards but wouldn't actually process payment at store.
I have a Nexus 5 on Sprint, with official 6.0 factory imgs installed. I have TWRP recovery and an (obviously) unlocked bootloader. While rooted, I flashed ElementalX kernel (allowing for double-tap to wake, swipe to sleep, and under-volting--3 features I can't live without), modified build.prop to allow multi-window mode, and ran ADB commands to enable tethering (courtesy of Reddit instructions).
I then completely uninstalled SuperSU and BusyBox (no easy task--had to delete system apks and reboot numerous times). I also had to delete su and busybox entries from system/xbin for unrooting. After a reboot, I successfully installed Android Pay, added credit card, and have successfully used it at several retail outlets. More importantly, my kernel DT2W/swipe to sleep/undervolting options still work, as does tethering and multi-window. Apparently AP doesn't check for build.prop or boot mods, nor does it check for bootloader state or stock recovery. I do miss quickboot options I had with root however.
If I absolutely need something that requires root, e.g., Titanium Backup restore, etc, I can just boot into TWRP recovery through old-school holding down power/ volume button technique (hence why I miss quickboot features), flash SU and BusyBox zips I have on internal SD, reboot, do my business, and then unroot like I did above. FWIW unrooting is MUCH more difficult than rooting, but still very doable once you figure out all the steps.
Can you post the steps for cleanup? I have been trying it myself and have had no luck with getting A-Pay to actually work correctly.
hey! regarding H60-L04 EU.
wondering which build.prop tweaks you are using?
i tried a few various ones made for htc and android in general, but for some reason this spesific build.prop usually links to other directories that might also need modding. (sort of same issues like unabling dolby which also requires editing that other xml. )
also, is xposed framework running smoothly on lollipop yet?i almost had it working before updating to M beta, but after downgrading back i dont remember how or where i stole the info from just remember i had to use a slightly older version to make it work, only issue I had then was installing rootcloak, which is kind of my only reason for installing xposed in the first place
This little mod can only be done on rooted phones at least, recovery recommended because you have to modify a System file: system/etc/floating_feature.xml
Just (carefully) add this line:
cachanilla86 said:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_CALCULATOR_SUPPORT_CONVERTER>TRUE</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_CALCULATOR_SUPPORT_CONVERTER>

It should work on any Note5 and S6 and S7 models running Nougat because the feature is already there, It is just disabled by default.
I'm attaching a flashable zip with MY OWN floating_feature.xml. DO NOT FLASH IT AS IT IS, it is just an example for you guys. Make a backup of your own file and edit that and use the zip to install it (just replace said file with your own inside the zip) or add the line using Root explorer. If the phone bootloops you will have to flash the zip via custom Recovery. If you have a custom ROM or a stock one this will work. No need to clear caches or app data. After rebooting you will see a ruler like icon on the calculator app.
Works on Kongloid rom v11. Thanks !
Many thanks, worked on My note 5 (920I-XSP) official nougat Rom , rooted of course..
I want to ask.. where I can find a full list of features and csc modifications ?
I just updated app from apkmirrior and i have same feature without rooting. People who are not rooted just update app.
Hello. I have an carrier unlocked S7 G930U (G930UUEU4BQE2) with Nougat 7.0. I tried to downgrade to 6.0, but I had a few issues. One being I could not get root to install properly and when I did it was lost after a few minutes or if I recall, after rebooting. Also no Wifi passwords would be saved and Wifi would keep shutting down. Is there a fix, or a specific version of 6.0 form a specific date or carrier I should use if I choose to try and downgrade again? Not sure if I did anything wrong or if it's just a bug. Any suggestions, help or advice much appreciated.
I assume you used Odin, did you flash all 4 firmware files (AP, BL, CP, CSC)?

Indeed I did. I tried several actually. I read somewhere that flashing sometimes causes the radio to fail. If so, I tried flashing a radio from another provider, I forget which one, with no success. As for the root, I think I figured out what I did wrong there.
Just went through the same thing...here is the resolution....from this thread...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
From the Recommended next step section.
Fix an issue with the Wi-Fi not saving passwords after reboots by editing the build.prop and setting 'ro.securestorage.support' to 'false'. I used JRummy's BuildProp editor:

You beat me to it! lol. I was looking for that link and had just found it. Works like a charm. WiFi saves !
Here's my settlement after 24 hours of rooting, debloating, tweaking and optimizing my G930U
- Flashed fresh, stock firmware: Marshmallow 6.0.1, first release, G930UUEU4API3
- Was FINALLY able to gain and hold root by following the steps located in the first section of this thread.
- After that I installed an UPDATED version of FlashFire via ADB.
- I opened FlashFire. Until you disable KNOX, SuperSU will be VERY slow to prompt you with the pop-up to grant root access to FlashFire (maybe a minute or so). Once access is granted, you can debloat and disable KNOX. This is the only root required app I installed at this point.
- In section two of the same thread, I downloaded and added the second .zip file, S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_Debloater_V15.zip to internal storage (sdcard) and flashed it using FlashFire. I also downloaded this .zip, added it to internal storage and flashed it. I also went here and did the same with this .zip. (KNOX is disabled in the first flash so at this point SuperSU will function normally).
- IF YOU DO NOT DISABLE KNOX COMPLETELY YOU WILL LOSE ROOT!! Flash ALL 3 .zips to ensure KNOX is disabled!!
- I then disabled any other apps and or services I deemed fit and that suit my needs. If anyone wants me to I can compile a list of what I left installed.
- Installed Xposed following the 3rd step in the thread I linked twice already.
- Downloaded and installed HEBF - Battery Saver & Optimizer, selected a medium profile for Battery and medium for performance.
The difference is almost instant. On top of all the bloat, I can't believe how much battery this drains because of it. The build.prop edit is what got me to stick with 6.0 if it killed me or this phone while trying.
I don't like Xprivacy, so went the old route and got AppOps to work from the play store. That solves a lot of permission issues I had with various apps.
With the new found battery life I installed two bad ass wallpaper apps. (I have a thing for wall papers lol). By the time I'm really done, Samsung will barely exist on this phone.

Thanks for the addition, I'll add it to the reference thread for our device. FYI, the way they can recover from it is a factory restore with the flash all zips we made in the below thread if they really want to go back to stock.

This mod causes a bootloop, with the latest NCP rom
Maybe you can detail the mods included in the zip and folks can mimic your mods with L-speed manually

The reason why is because you should have checked if your ROM was compatible (if a custom ROM is not stated it probably isn't a good idea to flash the file) just for future reference
If it is working fine on the stock confirm here so I know.
I will test it on the NCP rom
Bootlooped the Sprint varient
I had suHide and ViPER on there though if that affects it in anyway
