[Q] Build.Prop

I had My Wildfire rooted(CM7 Nightly Rom).
By default System folder doesnt have build.prop file. i extracted the build.prop from the rom and pasted with few changes.
for eg. default ringtone to Rigel.ogg(orginal config Playa.ogg)
But my phone isn't changing Playa.ogg(Default) to Rigel.ogg
What i concluded is andorid is not reading the build.prop file
any suggestion?
Thanx

Idk if I'm right , but since by default it has no build.prop that means it won't read that file .
Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App

So can u please tell me how to make my Phone read the configuration mentioned in build.prop??

Hmm, wich nightly do you have?

CyanogenMod-7-Nightly-buzz

My only tip is make sure you are using a plain text exitor like notepad or notepad++ because otherwise the formatting can stop the roms from working.

Thanks for your reply..
actually i figured it out myself.
"Build.prop only works at the time of flashing"
I flashed my wildfire with updated build.prop and it reflected the changes that i made.
my real motive was to use timescape widget with Arc launcher.
can you guide me with this.

[Q] build.prop sound/volume related settings

Hi,
Is there a possibility to change (increase) max in-call volume through build.prop or any other file or system setting ?
And by the way, any idea where to find a list of build.prop settings ? I mean the defaults since build.prop entries only overwrites the one located elsewhere.

you want default one? you can extract it from official RUU.
or you want list of tweak?

I will check this, thanks. And I don't need a list of tweaks, just a list of every possible settings

[Q]changing dim level and lowest brightness in auto mode

Hello
I am Using KANGYS ICS rom

2. i would like to rise the lowest level of the brightness in the Auto mode
i found out that the voodoo color go crazy in low brightness
so i want the auto min level will be 10%+ instead of 0%
the option exit in CM7 so there is probably a file that can be edit to the new values
Thanks for any help

still waiting for someone to response

Try looking in framework-res.apk/res/values/arrays.xml There should be an array called autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues or something like that.

You can try following this thread, but I don't guarantee that it will work

Recent apps fix?

I downloaded Sac's v2 ROM and I got used to the Recent apps where it usually is, my question is, is there anyway to flash a zip file or replace a file in order to achieve the stock button functions? I flashed his "hold home for recents" but its not the same as I'm used to.

You can take the android.policy.jar from system>framework in v1 and swap it and all buttons will go back to normal. (change permissions and such of course when replacing any system files)

I swapped the android.policy.jar files the other day, and as a result the phone just wouldn't boot. I'm guessing this is due to not setting permissions. How should permissions be set for the new file when it is swapped? And in addition, should permissions for other files placed in system be set the same exact way (for future reference)? I know how to change them, but do not know how they should be or why they should be set a certain way

The folder is set to rw-r-r- but there is a new flashable zip just posted in the sac23 thread

Not sure but I replaced the Android.policy.jar file from v1 to v2, worked like a charm. Took maybe 5 to 6 minuted to boot.

[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:
