I have rooted my phone and installed cwm recovery with the loki images built in. I am trying to modify my build.prop file so I can hide my soft keys manually and use lmt pie, but when I'm using Root Explorer (after I've mounted it as r/w) and when I open it with a text editor from RE it says "This file is too I large..." and displays a truncate version. It also won't let me save any edits. What am I doing wrong?

I can do that above with RE, very strange problem you have.
Try a build.prop editor, i used this in the link. It sets correct permissions after editing and so on. Use the pencil icon in the bottom right to edit.

Hi,
Same thing for me with Root Explorer, instead I use build.prop Editor
EDIT: not fast enough :laugh:

I got it and tried exactly like you said, and while it does pull it up and my keyboard pulls up and I can feel the haptic feedback, no letters will be inserted in deleted...? Really weird.
Maybe it's related to my root access? TB is showing I'm rooted, but check out my superuser app when I try to update an install new binaries...
Get rid of Superuser and try SuperSu instead. Sometimes the old Superuser has issues on ROMs since ICS.

Downloaded and installed... Removed the old one. Still not letting me edit... Looks an feels like it is but won't enter any characters. At least RE isn't giving me the "too large" error anymore

i had the same issue, couldn't figure out why. try replacing a commented line with the code to disable the nav bar
How do I know if it's just a commented line and not necessary to the program?

Have tried you system>wallpaper? I'm on Jasmine 1.9 and that's where mine is.
So atlast I permanent interop unlocked my lumia 525 and still able to install windows 10 update
Thanks to
@vcfan for the tip that we can add interop unlock files in any .reg files in windows\packages\registryfiles folder and also for his live interop unlcker..... (BTW after modifying my software.reg and interop unlocking my phone I am still able to install windows 10)
@WojtasXda for the additional_entries.reg file whick I used to unlock my phone
.And others....
BTW @vcfan I've attached my software.reg file which I used to interop unlock my phone can you add the additional capabilities unlock that you unlocked by your app other than those unlocked by WojtasXda
OTHERS DON'T USE THIS BECAUSE THIS NOT A TUTORIAL OF PURMANENT INTEROP UNLOCKING LUMIA 525 OR ANY OTHER PHONES
IF YOU USE THIS THEN I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE
Hi there, great discovery, I am also a user that has one of the phones that have the OEMSettings.reg file read-only and I have been trying to add the lines to lots of reg files and always got a on herd reset so would like to ask if you did a hard reset after editing the software.reg file (you probably did) and if it worked right, and if you are sure you kept your interop unlock after the reset?

Thnx dude and ya same thing happened to me 5 days ago when I tried to modify the language.reg files and failed but today when I used the software.reg file it worked
@souma_rox , im happy you got it working. sorry, I've been busy with another project so I didn't have enough time to try all the different files and see which one is the optimal one to use, but im glad you've found it.
im attaching a text file with all the reg entries to unlock all the capabilities that are programmed in a stock wp 8.1 rom. also included are some other tweaks such as full fs access.

so if i just paste all of these lines at the end of software.reg file like the additional_entries.reg file of wojtas it will work right?????

it should as these are the exact entries my app appends to the end of OEMSettings.reg for the permanent unlock, and that works.
will this work on a 520 from at&t?
@vcfan it seems the lines you provided prevent the phone from getting updated to windows 10 mobile, the phone always getting stuck in the update and requiring a re-flash of the ROM,, on the other hand the lines @WojtasXda provides for his ROM Rebuilder seem to work just fine, do you happen to know what lines might cause that?
Also sorry for posting so late but I didn't want to post before testing everything (slow and fast ring) and also trying to remove the full mtp access lines from your file, it seems to not be related to that.
I updated to wm10 after vcfan permanent interopunlock.... 3 times I used vcREG templates.

So the file "C:\Windows\Packages\RegistryFiles\OEMSettings.reg" is kept as is when updating the phone? From 8.0 to 8.1, too?
I think so...
The files run in LUmia 520
??
thanks..

For all the people that are blaming this method for their bootloops, i can tell you one thing: you didn't follow this method correctly.
USING ROOT EXPLORER WILL RESULT IN A TRUNCATED BUILD.PROP FILE!
I clearly said "I'm using ES File Explorer for that" and that is for a reason. I prefer root explorer for anything that it can do because it's just so much faster. But ES file explorer can edit a text file no matter what size it is, root explorer will just cut it off at the bottom resulting in a bootloop.
Thank you for understanding.

Here's a video I made showing off 3 awesome tweaks found here on this device's forum. XDA made our beloved G4 a LOT better with "just" root.
If the above embedded video doesn't work for some reason, here's the youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4X2FF3BwjA
Have fun watching!
Thanks for the video! Pretty sweet to have 60 fps now on this amazing camera. Other two I already knew and did change the dual window one. The DPI was something that never bothered me.
thanks
Great video. One thing to mention is you can click the '1/2' square button next to the X on the recents screen to pick your dual window apps also
You can change the DPI without root via an adb command.
Is there any way to make nandroid style full backups without custom recovery? It would be nice to have that before trying tweaks.
Modified build.prop to true for multi window and got a bootloop.

We probably don't have the same variant. I have the H812 and editing build.prop causes bootloops for me.
changing the DPI always results in bootloop for me. I'm with an international H815.
Use an app that is designed to edit the build.prop. It's a large file. Standard text editors will likely truncate the file, resulting in boot loops.

Make sure you are using a good editor. Some editors alter the integrity of the file and save it funky.
I used the non root method for dpi but you can use DPI changers in the play store. I like Tex_Droider.
Thanks to you I'm now stuck at t-mobile boot logo after editing split window to true. Tried restarting and factory erasing with holding down volume and power key but after rest I'm stuck at logo again.

Same thing happened to me. Just flash the root file again in download mode an you should be fine. For the record you can't be mad at the op. He didn't put a gun to your head.
Root file will do nothing because it won't replace the build. Prop. I had to restore using KDZ. And he did use a gun. You weren't there

I have the Wind h812. Made a couple of changes in the build.prop and everything works fine.

1080p 60fps works great. Thanks!
always remember to check the build prop permissions (make sure it's rw r r)

I don't know which root method you uses but since low effort root consists in flashing the whole modified image of the rom it's pretty much the same as using KDZ but a whole lot faster. Like I said it did work for me.

For real? Which file manager did you use. I used root explorer. Should I try with ES?

You are absolutely right. Used ES instead of root explorer and it worked.

@eulin87 that's a dangerous statement there, please don't joke about it because XDA Staff might take that seriously and message me and all that. Thank you for understanding the situation guide makers are being put in
Have fun rooting!

I've got a EU/UK version (A2017G) of Axon 7 which does not come with the stock theme that US customers are getting. I was wondering if anyone could extract the theme for us to install...

DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
SYSTEM BACKUP REQUIRE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
----------------------------------------------------------------------- Move the THEME folder to system > media and change the THEME and THEMEINFO folder attibutes to 755 using your File Explorer (i 'm using Solid Explorer)
- Change the ZIP files attributes to 644 same for the rest of the files inside THEMEINFO folder
- REBOOT
Thanks once again...
I couldn't find the system folder. I guess I have to root it first.
Will try it once I root my phone.
