I have a problem using the PPSSPP emulator, some games require 3 or more ring tones, and my smartphone (Gran Prime Duos), it only has two ring tones at the same time. I already researched and the only thing I found about it was a build.prop file which should contain the ro.product.max_num_touch option, but the same one is not in the file, I thought I would put it next to ro.product.multi_touch_enabled = true , but when trying to save the file, I found an error, then I looked for another file explorer, I found the root explorer, my smartphone does not have root until then, after doing the root I opened the explorer and I found that the file was read only . So I'm here.
Since the file did not have the variables. Can I put them on? Would that solve my problem?
If this solves even my problems, how could I do this

I posted this all int eh captive section >.< but thought I would put it here in case the other vibrant users would like to know this...
I found the hard way of change the startup sound and shutdown sound, which can be confusing, but i'll try to explain (this is after you have root)
1) went into Astro and copied the file from etc called PowerOn.wav to my SDcard as backup
2) found a wav file I wanted to change for power on and named it PowerOn.wav and stored it on the root of my SDcard
3) downloaded terminal emulator from market
4) when I launched, superuser permissions granted it SU access
5) type the command 'su root' (without the ' of course)
6) then type the command 'cp /sdcard/PowerOn.wav /etc/PowerOn.wav' and hit the enter key
This changed mine to a cooler "system activating" wav file I found...this was my way and it worked, but would much rather know the simpler version of How to grant Astro superuser permissions.
PS I used Audacity to convert my mp3 to wav and ogg files...in case anyone wants to know a free software
Shutdown Video:
I think you can change the shutdown video by adding custom PNG files in the /system/media/video/shutdown folder, but I haven't tested yet...i'm trying to figure out what I was going to do for the video (has to be 14 PNG files...or 14 of them all named the same thing).
I'll be testing soon and letting you know if this works.
EDIT: SUCCESS!!!
I was able to create 14 PNG images and copy them from my SDcard to the /system/media/video/shutdown folder and now I have a new shutdown video...anyone have a sight I could upload the new shutdown PNG files too? I have a couple different ones I created...really basic, but a little nicer than the T-mobile default one.
EDIT...AGAIN: And the new shutdown video

Anchor reply for future information on this...possibly some shutdown videos
couldn't you just use root explorer and put the new wav file in the place of the old one with the same name? This is how I changed my boot animation. I'll try your way if mine doesn't work.
Thanks for this.
hey can you zip your shutdown file and give it to me without the sound? it looks badass, and the axura is pretty homo right now.
also are you sure this will work for vibrants?
my startup i changed from sdcard/system/media/...
Vibrant using simply honey 2.8
Im tryn to add a boot sound an cant figure it out please help there was no boot sound to begin with.. i made PowerOn.wav an tryed in system/etc and then tried media then ui nothings working am i naming this wrong or what Please help me out some on! pm me
Hi everyone,
I need your help. I sometimes face strange issues with my Nexus 4 (Stock Room, Rooted, Matrix Kernel v5). Yesterday I wanted to copy a apk-file for installation on my phone from my home-server. I use ES File Explorer for that. I failed to copy the apk-file to /sdcard/folder-name (operation failed). then i navigated to /data/media/0/folder-name and tried it from there, also it didn't work.
i then copied the file to /sdcard/download and was able to copy it to that and to install it.
i don't really understand why it behaves that way, i was always able to go to /sdcard/folder-name and do what i want. i also noticed another strange thing. i connected my phone via USB (MTP-mode) to the PC and uploaded a few GB of MP3s to it (Folder: Music).
when browsing this folder with ES File Explorer, I cannot delete anything from that folder /sdcard/Music. THOUGH it reports "deletion successful" the files or folders do not get deleted but just remain on the internal SD-card. i could only delete the music successfully via "/data/media/0/Music".
who can explain briefly WTF is going on? i obviously do not really understand the concept and logic behind this. is there a maximum file/path length that must not be exceeded?
thanks in advance and best regards,
hallu
need to bump this, sorry...
does anyone have any idea as to why this phone is behaving the way it is?
I use root explorer and have ZERO issues. That includes pulling apk's.
Try a different file explorer to see if that makes a difference so at least you can determine if the issue is just app specific and not something else.
Check to see of ES isn't mounting certain folders with RW permissions.
Also the actual internal storage is /data/media/0/ so /sdcard/ is just a symlink to that folder. ES seems to be having problems with the symlinks.
I don't know how it happened, but it appears that I have somehow changed the path that contains the ringtones. I was looking for them out of curiosity. Now, whenever I try to bring up ringtones, I get a directory listing of /storage/emulated/0. I can probably reset it properly, but I don't know they actually reside. I don't have root access, and I'm afraid that may be a problem in resetting the path. I'm thinking that's why a search with ES File Explorer can't find them, (or maybe I'm not searching for the correct extension). Can anyone offer any guidance?
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Regards,
pb
Can't help you without root access. The correct path is:
/system/media/audio/ringtones
Edit* In doing some looking. Were you trying to add more ringtones? The folder you gave seems to be the downloads folder. Ringtones you add maybe be in another folder. For example it could be ...../emulated/ringtones
Another example would be any folder in your usable internal storage will come after the emulated/

Hi.
I have tried a lot of temp apps and non can see the temp of my RK3229, I have a data sheet for it and it supposed to have an "Temperature Sensor(TS-ADC)"
I have tried the old thread below but it does not work as i cannot find the "tsadc" directory with root explorer where the temp0 and temp1 files are supposed to be, I have used the root explorer search function on the word temp and nothing shows, I am new to root explorer so i might be doing something wrong.

This is weird.
I bought a T95 box and have been using it with an external keyboard almost flawlessly for months. The only issue was that the Enter key was incorrectly mapped.
I found a guide to fix this, which involved using a root browser to edit a single word in a keyboard mapping file. I installed two root browsers, made the change to the file and then found it wouldn't save due to a "read only file system". I thought I'd change the permissions of the file and then the folder just to make this tiny change, but nothing would do it. Then I looked at the folder, and the file i had been trying to save had been completely blanked - 0kilobytes. Which is weird, as I thought this was a read only file system?
I found another copy of the file and tried to paste it into the folder, but exactly the same problem again -read only file system.
My keyboard is now useless as none of the keys are recognised and I have no way of restoring it to functionality as I can't restore the file that was overwritten on the allegedly "read only file system".
Any suggestions? I guess a factory reset might possibly help, but I've spent the best part of a year setting this device up just right so that has to be a very last resort. Tearing my hair out here...
I managed to delete the 0kb file and paste a replacement in its place, but it too instantly became 0kb. This is surreal.
