Pixel 2 build prop - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

Can someone upload the build.prop of the Pixel 2 please ?
I have been trying to find some defaults in the Pixel 2 but didn't succeed .I would be grateful if someone can upload it .

Here is my build.prop from an adb pull. I have an extra line at the bottom for tethering already that I echo'd into it via adb shell though. Had to add the .txt extension in order to upload it, sorry.

updae script to remove apks

im getting tired of having to pull apks every time i flash a new rom. i found a thread that said that you can add a few lines to the update script to remove the apks prior to boot. how do you do that? when i added the lines in the thread i got a wrong digest meta-inf/comgoogle/android/update-script verification failed instillation aborted
i think my issue is i unpacked my signed zip modded the updatescript and rezipped it.
anyone have a better way to remove those apk, not one by one!
please if you could detailed instructions

Why would you need to modify the ROM? You *do* realize that if you were going to go to the trouble of modifying the ROM to add removing things via the update script, you could just remove what you wanted removed in the first place?
No, of course you don't.
please if you could detailed instructions

Gods, that's what adb and a batch file (or a shell script, if you think you should be using Linux) are for.
you can create a .bat file to run and remove all the apks you dont want. here is mine

your username suits you well... minus the 99.
don't be mean like that man.
I figured it out thanxs
Yea its best to make a seperate update.zip with an edited script that you can flash any time with any rom. So if you flash a new rom, you can then flash the update.zip. Mine would remove a bunch of apps and install a theme and a bootscreen after installing a new rom.
I also see that you got it, but yea you have to resign the zip after you change something in it.
And to the posguy.. If you are NO where near a computer, you can always run the .zip file with the edited script. Comes in handy if you download a rom from your phone, like a rom from DamageControls Updater or just on the web.
Yes i know you can do a terminal, but thats just long and dumb. Make a update script.

Yes, that's a good idea. Of course, that's not what the OP thought he should do, he thought he should modify the script in the original ZIP file.

my point! thats why i wanted to edit the script. i know how to do it with the terminal/ .bat file. but i cant figure out how to get the zip to work

Here is a update zip that removes some apps already.. Its my old one.
If you edit any of the lines then you must re-sign the .zip.
If you cant figure it out, or just want someone to sign it really quick. Post your .zip here and I will sign it for you so it will be flashable.

hey thanks... i normailly sign zips using the old fresh kitchen but it doesnt seem to sign roms and im guessing zips that have meta-inf already in them cant get signed thru kitchen. i think i might be wrong, but ho do you sign your zips?

[Boot Screen] Custom EVO animation

Hope this isn't against protocol. I posted this in the "HOWTO" thread, but in the event there are people that don't venture into that area...I think it looks pretty nice and it's customized for the Evo.
Here's what I'm using...
I had to cut it down significantly from my original plan because of the boot speed...but this lines up pretty perfect on my Evo. Here are the links if anyone wants to download themselves:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/jadhnz2m3my/bootanimation.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/file/wmnz2ntnxry/SPC_animation_final.mp3
Pretty sure you have to be ROOTED for this to work (I am).
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
adb push SPC_animation.mp3 /system/customize/resource
adb shell reboot

Good Morning, This was pretty cool so I thought i would do it. Just one thing to add about your adb instructions. Pushing the mp3 is missing "_final".
It should read
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource
Again thanks
Can this be installed without adb? And if so how please?
I love it so cool. Can the sound be taken out as well tho?

I don't believe it can be done without adb. Unless you found a way to navigate to /system folder.
and by not pushing the sound file(.mp3) the sound will be taken out.
I love this nice job!
you can use root explorer if you like..
Besides the fact that it says Droid I like it..it may be my ROM but I had to change the sound file to android_audio.mp3 to get it to play.

Hmmm that is weird...The actual mp3 was just edited from an incredible boot up when the file WAS named android_audio.mp3. Glad that you got it figured out, though.
please help
i dont know what im doing wrong but every time i try to push the bootanimation.zip i get
cannot stat 'bootanimation.zip' :no such file or directory
and i have both the bootanimation.zip and the mp3 file in my tools folder and help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advanced

Terminal Emulator app in the market will do this.
su
cat /sdcard/download/bootanimation.zip > /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
Tried that using beterterminal and I get an access denied error read only???
From adb I get cannot stat no such such file or directory "bootanimation.zip"

I have never used beter terminal. Try the terminal emulator from jack palevich. It is in the market place for free.
Denied access, read only in the emulator sounds like you didnt put in 'su' first. Once you enter type su in the prompt should change to #
your adb error sounds like you need to either mount the sdcard or change it to charge only.
I put the files in there but the damn SPRINT animation which I hate with a passion keeps playing. I can adb shell into my phone and see the files in /system/customize/resource but it doesn't pick it up automatically. Is there anything else I need to do to get rid of the SPRINT one?
I am rooted using the 2 root safe versions of the OTA updates, but otherwise stock build. I have also tried using the boot animation replace utility someone else on here developed ... it says it worked as well ... but then the stupid sprint one plays. Any ideas? I have a bunch of stuff in my resource folder I also have these files in my customize folder:
AAInfo.txt
COMMON.xml
cid_map.xml
resource
1_00_sample.xml
CID
mccmnc.xml
MNS
default.xml
mns_map.xml
I didn't know if maybe one of these tells it to point at the sprint boot instead of the custom one I put in... ?
what would be cool is if at the end when it says droid the word evo falls from the top and crushes the droid word. lol just a suggestion.
**EDIT** Problem resolved.
By the way I got mine to work, I had to boot into recovery and adb mount /system in order to get it working...
My favorite is the decepticon one but it is too small and I couldnt get it to work after resizing the png's and modifying the text...

It would be better without the Droid part! Can you do one?
**EDIT**
Never mind, i just deleted the EYE folder and edited the .txt, but now i have one question,where is the original botanimation.zip located? i push yours to /system/customize/resource using root explorer (since i hate adb shell) and it didn't ask for overwrite so...it wasn't there.
This has potential to ber the best boot animation around but I don't like how it says droid. That's the only thing keeping me from switching right now.

Download android sdk, install it as google tells you. Go to the folder your build prop is at, hold shift, press the right mouse button, press on open command prompt. Type this in it:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw, remount /system
push build.prop /system/build.prop
mount -o ro, remount /system
reboot
If you cant do that, you can always reflash the firmware
push not found

my bad, I thought you were just looking to transfer the file
unless I've missed something you can't do ADB in recovery or download mode. which has always seemed stupid to me.
you'll need to use ODIN to flash the rom again

ODIN is for samsung phones.
After I modified the build.prop file I forgot to change the file rights and now it is stuck on a black screen with the led on green/blue
I have a backup of the original file on the SD.
The phone can get into download mode.
I have already tried the factory reset but nothing.
I have tried the unroot metod from the post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/general/unroot-return-to-factory-stock-att-lg-g3-t2820827

Quick way of accessing screen to broken devices.

Hi,
So my screen broke yesterday and I needed to check my phone for missed important calls. I know there is lots of solutions out there, but I needed a way access your screen without the installation of any software on your phone. I was lucky because my digitizer still works so I can still use the touch feature and figure out on my screen where to press . I figured i would post it, might save someone someday....
Note: Works on Android 4.0 +
You need to have have developper options enabled so this can work. So first of all, I need to enable ADB from recovery. There is lots of post on the forum and google, so I will not cover this part.
Once I had ADB enabled, I wrote a small batch file that would take a screenshot from my phone, then pull it to my pc, wait 1 sec, then restart. After I used chrome and a auto-refresh extension to refresh the image every second. I will assume that you have ADB installed and all drivers for adb working. Here it goes
1. You will need to create a batch file. Open notepad and paste this into it.
Code:
:start
adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screen.png
adb pull /sdcard/screen.png
timeout 1
goto start
Save it as ss.txt, or whatever you like. Then go to desktop and rename ss.bat or "whatever you like.bat"
This may vary a bit if you do not have an SDcard, or if your directory is not named the same way, So change SDcard to the name of your storage folder.
Copy it to your adb directory.
2. Open a Command Prompt as Admin change directories to ADB folder. Once you are there, just type ss and the batch should start.
3. Open chrome and install an auto-refresh extension. I used this one:
HTML:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/easy-auto-refresh/aabcgdmkeabbnleenpncegpcngjpnjkc?hl=en
4.Then open your c:\ drive in chrome (type in the address bar file:///C: ). Navigate to your adb folder and open screen.png.
5. Start auto refresh on screen.png opened in chrome and set to 1 second.
Now you will have a screenshot of your phone being refreshed every second! I agree its slow, but its an easy way to get on your phone and configure other applications such as vnc or other stuff or just to get the phone number of that hot date you had last night.
Other thoughts: I your digitizer is broken, you can always just get a USB on the go adapter and plug-in a mouse and use ADB over wifi.
I guess you can also use an usb micro to hdmi adapter and plug it in to a monitor, they have them at bestbuy for 20$ if you dont want to make your life complicated.
Have Fun!

Should of mentionned, dosen't work with gingerbread, you need 4.0+ if i recall correctly. Maybe, if your lucky, the manufacturer may have included their version instead of screencap since it did not exist back, i would take a look in the bin folder to try to find an equivalent if not you are out of luck with this method.

build.prop

I think I messed something up, can you share build.prop file please?
How is it possible you request the build.prop file if you need to be a root user to be able to modify it, and the Mate 30 Pro has the bootloader blocked?
You cant exit the build prop file, retrack what you did to what files.

You can use ADB to pull buildprop file out to your PC via this command: adb shell getprop > yourbuildpropname.txt
