Modify the build.prop in its original original location itself and then save it & reboot, don't copy build.prop to other folder then modify it and then re-paste in it's original location you'll stuck with a bootloop, just modify it in it's original location. Btw next time before making a thread do make sure where should it belong this is a [Q] Question thread so should have been in QA, help & troubleshooting section, next time be sure to know where you have to make a new thread.
My apologies for the wrong section. I'm new sorry.
However, I forget to write that what you just suggested (modify it directly without make a copy) it's the first thing that I tried but with no success.
After I pressed the button save, Explorer app prompts an advise saying that an error occured and that the changes have not been applied.
And now? :crying:

In system > build.prop (original location) is the device mounted to R/W?
Hi,
First, this line "ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100" does nothing...
After that if you change the location of a file, when you move it again you need to set the correct permissions like the original files, other than that you can encounter a bootloop.
Like RuchRha said modifie the file directly, no need to move it...
And if I were you I'll make a Nandroid backup before playing with file system...
These are the file permissions that I see into the file properties.
rw- r-- r--
Is this what you was asking me?

If you can see an option of Mount R/W instead click on it and it should change/show you Mount R/O instead of showing mount R/W, when the time when system is not mounted to R/W and you try to edit buildprop and save it, it shows error n doesn't gets saved.

Nope,
Read Only system:
Read/Write:
You need to mount the system as R/W.
EDIT: too late...
To the best of my uderstanding the free version does not permit such kind of change.
Is there any free app that I can use?

Hi everyone i have been searching for the last 4 hours on here and google just to find out how i can edit my build.prop, im still unable to do it can someone please help me thankyou......
Use Adb pull from its location, if I remember correctly its /system/build.prop
Sent from my HTC Desire
extremly simple open with text editor, try root explorer app on device , navigate to /system/build.prop, long press and select open with text editor, then make changes, press menu button then save&exit option. a backup will automagically be created for you.
You could also pull off the phone and edit with notepad, etc. then push back to phone. may be helpful to create a backup first.
Thanks to both of you but i know how to pull the build.prop but dont now how to change things inside the file. Also to view the build.prop in root explorer text editor you have to be mounted as r/w but after this you go to the file and there is only one line all the rest has gone.
I used wordpad and yes i could edit and save the new build.prop but when i try adb push build.prop /system/build.prop i get failed to copy 'build.prop' to '/system/build.prop read-only file system what now.
Do an "adb remount" before pushing the updated build.prop.

Thanks that didnt work either i tried by putting the edited file onto the phone then moving it to system and over writing the original, when i rebooted the screen was blank so i had to run my nand backup. I then tried to edit the file on the phone through text editor and it worked straight away SOD'S law...... Thanks everyone.
I've tried copying the apk from downloads and pasting it into /system/app but i just get an error saying access denied at the end!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

I've tried to find it, but just can't find out for the life of me!
You need Root Explorer, ES Explorer or similar. Before you paste into /system/app you must mount /system as read/write within the app, then paste your file in. Once there, tap and hold on the file and a menu will appear with an option to fix permissions. You need to set owner with read/write and group and world with read only (it looks like rw-r--r--).

That's the bit i'm struggling with!
I'm sure i sound a complete retard, but i've tried long pressing on the system folder and i can't see any way to change permissions(i've checked properties but i can't edit any permissions)
I'm using ES Explorer, i have astro file manager too, but still struggling!
Sorry if i'm being a pain
EDIT: I've found the problem... i didnt enable root browser in the options ¬_¬
sorted it for now i think!
Thanks a load both of you
EDIT #2: I've changed the permissions, then something forceclosed, and now i've restarted and am stuck on the google screen on boot not good i assume!
I can't do anything with the device now!
did you change permissions on just the wallet.apk file?

Assuming you have root, you can edit build.prop file to enable it.
Add the line below at the end of the file.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

Noob answer:
Root your device
Download a root file explorer and give it superuser permission.
Goto /system
Make a backup copy of build.prop file in sdcard
Open build.prop file (in original folder) in a text editor.
Add the line above to the end of the file.
Save the file and edit. You may have to mount file explorer in r/w mode.
Reboot.
I am on 4.4.2 20d...i have root and yesterday when I tried to copy one file using root explorer...it shows read only...and there was no option to change to read write...
Then i installed super manager...i got success in copying...but there was no option to set permission to rw-r-r.
So please suggest a way to set permissions in root...any app or way of setting it.
I was frustrated as i haven't set permission to the file i have copied.

to changes permissions , you nedd root, and SUPER SU.
If you are root install it from play store.
Then, when you are on root explorer and try to move or edit something from system you´ll be prompted if you bring supersu to root explorer. You must accept.
For the permissions, select a file and keep it pressed a few segs. It will show you a menu, then you have permissions
Hello,
As mentioned in the subject I am trying to install an application without success, and need some help understanding how to carry out some of the necessary steps...
The app in question is the S5 accuweather application (with the transparency option for the widget), which I have downloaded from these forums (link below)... in the same post as the link to download, the following is stated:
Delete ChnUnifiedDaemon and CMAWeatherPhone2013 from System/app
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...this might as well be written in Chinese... I did give it a shot though, but didn't get very far - I found the relevant directory with the current weather app installed (i.e. in the system/app directory), but if I try to delete the app which is there it tells me I don't have the permission... ditto for copying in the downloaded app into that directory - I don't have the necessary write permission in the directory...
also, there is an option for activating Full Screen Settings... for this I have to do the change the following value:
SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_SETTINGS_SUPPORT_FULL_SCREEN --> To TRUE
...where do I find this string, and how can I edit it??? do I need a specific app for it?
Thanks in advance for your help

You need to be rooted.

I am rooted, and have flashed a custom ROM (imperium )... and thats about the limit of my capabilities. ...
You need to mount r/w. Any decent file browser can do that.

Well i have es file browser which im sure will do the trick, but i dont know what mounting r/w means... how do i do that?

Mounting r/w gives you the permission to write or modify the system files.
You will have to enable the Root Explorer feature of ES.
Press the menu key to bring up the left panel and then scroll down. You should find the option "Root Explorer". It's off by default. Turn it on. It will ask you for root permission. Grant it and you should be good to go.
Now you should be able to delete and copy the specified files.
But you will have to set the right permission for the copied files.
To change the permission, long press on the apk, press "More" and select "Properties"
There should be a line called "Permission" and next to it something like "rw- r-- r--". This varies, depending on what you selected. "r" means read, "w" is write and some have "x" which means execute.
Those vary depending on the app.
Change the permission of the S5 weather app to the same as the other apps have on the /system/app folder. Most of them have "rwx r-x r-x". So that's probably what you want to change them to.
Then you have to reboot. If everything is set correctly you should have the app installed on your phone. Good luck
As for that string, I don't know where it is. Maybe ask in the thread.
Thanks Reaper.. that was just the answer I was looking for!
...can anyone help me find the string? or at least give me an idea as to where I should be looking and what app I can use to edit whatever file it is I will need to edit?
