I'm almost in the same boat as you . but my primary mic is dead (fuzz)
So far I have tried these tips I've picked up, yet none have worked for me, but perhaps they'll help you.
I have tried with and without Microphone noise suppression (settings - call)
Carefully taking the sticker of the mic to expose the mic.
Reinstalling rom.
I belive you can't reroute the secondary mic to primary. And I've see a comment on thread (low mic prob for d2303 on kit kat) where someone has successfully fixed their lollipop d2303 by editing the mixer files with a root browser.
Good luck!

Go to /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml and find RX3 Digital Volume and set the value to 92-96.

Can't save the change. Btw do you mean to pick a number between 92-96 or text in the value "92-96"?
Does my error have something to do with permissions? I'm rooted and using Root Browser.

Pick a number between 92 and 96, also I am using ES file explorer pro. Are you sure root browser has proper root permissions?

I see thank you. I've checked and Root Browser is granted/allowed root permission. And a root checker app confirms root. Although it is kinguser I'm rooted with, and I'm sometimes skeptical about kinguser.
I tried different .xml editor apps. And browsers.
Ex file explorer is telling me "system" and "ect" files are both read and write files when I tap on properties. Although oddly, I copied the mixer_paths.xml file and tried to paste it to "system" file (to see if I could edit it there then replace for the one in "etc" file) but when trying to paste to "system" file I got the error: Copy task failed.

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....

Hello All,
I have issue regarding Titanium Backup and my Z3.
My Z3 is rooted, Titanium has Root access but when i try to specify the Sd card as backup support i have a message telling me i don't have permissions to write on the Sd card.
I try SDfix app but the result is a failed....
I also try to edit my platform.xml file with Es File explorer but i'm unable to save the modification. (Here the modification i try to input).
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">
<group gid="sdcard_r"/>
<group gid="sdcard_rw"/>
<group gid="media_rw"/></permission>
Any idea to fix this issue ?

Have you tried reinstalling titanium/es file explorer after updating the platform.xml?
Might help as the apps permissions may not have been implemented correctly if apps didn't have write access to the SD card upon install.

Thanks for the reply.
unfortunately the issue is i cannot modify the plateform.xml manually or with the SDfix App.....
I just checked in ES File explorer and the root explorer case was not checked.
The thing is when i'm checking it it tell me that my device is not rooted (my device is rooted i have SU on it and granted ES File explorer root access from the SU menu).
As the Z3 is rooted with the root exploit of the 23.0.A.2.93 downgrade maybe it's a limitation.
Any idea ? (I try also to reinstall ES File explore with same result)

Sorry, I misread the OP.
I'm not sure how to get around it, my suggestion was just a guess but I know google have prevented play store apps for having write access to the SD card by default.
I believe the usual way around this is to use exposed framework but I'm not sure if this is functional on Z3 running 5.x yet.
Try copying platform.xml to sdcard and copy it to computer, make modifications, and copy it back. Then use Aroma File manager in recovery, rename original platform.xml to platform.xml.bak for just in case. and copy the file from sdcard and change permissions to rw.r..r.. and you are set. Remember to mount system in recovery before starting file manager.

It's a good idea but xperia Z3 with stock rom do not have any recovery mode. If you install any recovery partition, you void warranty (that's not a big deal) and you cannot use DRM anymore (Photo are crapy)

even after rooting and installing viper and viper folder is missing, simply create a new folder name Viper4android then Presets and copy the xml file there.

If you're talking about TeamDeWitt and Zackptg newer versions, I believe that would be because they pick the output channel automagically from the system.
