How to edit build.prop - Epic 4G General

Sorry... I searched and tried a few methods but failed. I used root explorer and astro to edit it but the edits never stick. I have it at r/w on root explorer but still dont stick. Do I need another program? If possible I cant use a PC, so please advice strictly on tje phone with a pc.

Notepad++ on the pc side,but I havnt tried modding on my phone,let me look for a better answer.
Try this,use root explorer to make a copy,pste in to the root of your sdcard,modify there,then copy/cut back into place.

[Q] How to disable Hands Free Activation?

Hands free activation is timing out and not working. I programmed my # and msid manually, so there's no need for this **** to keep popping up and running in the background.. is there something specific I need to do to kill this?
Well, ****, it worked when I turned on Wi-Fi!
let the activation go through it should ask you to reboot or just stop
you can always root and remove it...idk what apk it uses
what about flashing your phone with stock?
I am having this problem too. Sorry if this is thread resurrection.
It would seem that unlike the Hero, it is not omadm.apk (not present).

People on XDA make absolutely no god damn sense. If a user ressurects an old thread you give him **** for it. If he posts a new thread you give him **** for posting a thread that already exists. Aka people on XDA seem to find ways to act like dicks no matter what people do.

This has been answered time and time again, nonetheless someone else is going to ask in the future, I just hope they google this and end up reading the solution on this thread.
To "disable" hands-free activation (handy for those on alternate carriers) UNINSTALL systemupdates.apk
Yes, you need to be rooted. Yes you need a root uninstall app to remove it. Yes, you can use a rooted file manager and manually remove it.

Find root uninstaller in the android market, look under the system apps, it'll be in red. It'll look like a green circular icon with a white check in the middle.
Also, I believe it's in system/app

No prob, and yeah, I had another thread stating that newer builds had it renamed. Even the original epic has the apk renamed from leaked FB15 and onwards to devicemanagement.apk as you said.

[Q] How do I change provider name on lock screen.

Can anyone give me pointers on what I should use or do to change the name of my phone provider that shows up on the basic lock screen? Sprint for instance? I know certain theme-rs do this. Emotionless Beast is an example of what I'm talking about. Any thoughts?

[Q] Easiest Root for myTouch 4g

Hey guys. I have tried many methods and can't get it right. Can anyone post the easiest root and S-off method.
Thanks in advance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
I used this method to root my MT4G, it was a piece of cake.
Good luck.
I have 2 questions.
1- what explorer are they taking about when they say open explorer and hold down shift
2- how do you set up a adb?
And be easy on me. I'm only 13

Hi man,
The Easiest way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995549
NO ADBS, nothing to be messing with your Computer, or anything. Almost everything done thru the phone.
FOLLOW THE EXACT WORDS. If you dont want to pay for ROOT EXPLORER APP, get FILE EXPERT ( make sure you select on Settings - File Explorer - ROOT EXPLORER)
the rest is pretty easy IF you do word by word
Root Explorer (or ES explorer). They will help you go through folders/files in your SD card or internal memory (like move/copy files to different folders etc.) as you do when you have your phone plugged into your computer.
they provide a link (to a video) on how to set up ADB on that same thread.
EDIT: Or you could use the thread which danccs posted. I was looking for that thread myself but couldn't find it. Lol
Hi dancc. Thanks for the help, but whenever I entered the last part on the terminal, I said something about an error. I really wanna root my phone. Please help!

Ugh aight bro I get your 13 but you need to try to root again and post exactly what it says. As I wrote either in this thread or your repost I'm 15 and starting out on android is difficult but you gotta learn to read closely and follow directions from devs and more experienced people. So like the exact error part that I asked for I meant like word for word. So I hope this gets you started off easier than it was for me. I didn't get told half this **** haha

Hmmmm .... let's see. Maybe because I plan on resurrecting a lot of threads like this one with new links to Empire Android as it (empire android) will soon be filled with simplified but accurate guides for rooting ALL android phones. Many people have a hard time following blogs with guides to root their phone because the authors of those blogs seem to forget that they're dealing with people who aren't exactly what you would call tech savvy and as a result don't explain things correctly or in deeper detail. That's why people come to these forums asking questions that people like you would probably call dumb when in fact they are not. But i guess instead of drawing some sort of intelligent conclusion as to why I might have resurrected this thread you'd rather try and make it sound like something its not. I hope you feel better now. (And since it seems like you had nothing else to do with your time when you posted this you will have nothing to worry about in the near future as long as Android phones keep coming you will have lots of threads like this to make yourself look like a fool on) No hard feelings. I hope I've answered your question.

First things to do with new zoom.

Hello guys and gals. I'm excited to get my zoom in the mail tomorrow from verizon. So I'm reading up on these forums to understand where everyone is at. I'm asking if any one would would he willing to give a quick check list of first things I should do when I get it. Then I can do some research based on your feed back and get it all set up. Thanks.

Download flash player from the market , then set your browser to on demand in the settings. Get feedly for your google reader or pulse, but I prefer feedly as it's much snapier. Download plume for tablet and friend caster for tablets.

One click is to much steps(irony right?)....
Do the catch recovery before reboot method which is really simple and easy. You get root and recovery at the same time.

Play with your xoom for a while then this. I would install the tiamat rom but I don't want to wipe my xoom.
I've decided to skip roms and tiamat or whatever. Looking at threads some are WiFi version only. Then some are different firmware version. I just want stock Verizon with whatever current version its at instructions. It's just to big of a mess for me to spend time digging through literally hundreds of posts researching on what should be closed threads restarted with fresh instructions. Not 4 month old threads. I'll just root adb, use setcpu, and wait for 3.2 uupdate. Then ill join in since ill know where other people are starting from.
It really is a mess. With my Droid x it was simple. A few ways to gain root and all the Roms nicely laid out ripe for the picking. Instruction clearly labled if you have firmware xxx do this, xxy do this. No wonder people are afraid to root. I am, now.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Ok I can't quit that easy. Looked at xoomforums. I think my whole problem was forum layout. Viewing this forum on their premium app jumbled everything together. Seeing everything laid out rom, kernels, ect, much easier. I'll go with launchpad 1.3 then try tiamat. At least I don't feel lost. As long I'm not browsing through their app.
