hi!
in order to test something, i need to replace the build.prop in root/system with a modified one. but trying to delete this file with astro manager displays an error message, and just copying the modified build.prop over the old one doesn't work too (nothing happens).
so my question is: how do you replace such a file?
thanks in advance for your help
are you serious!?!?!?
If the build.prop is located on the Android folder IT HAS TO BE A SYSTEM FILE !!!
if you mod the system files you could break android or the system just won't let you do it, you will need R and W privileges to do that.
edit the system files from your PC or just boot up in to windows mobile.
use some common scene next time.
hope it helps!

Do you use a cyanogen build?
yes and there is already a cyanogen rom posted with the proper build.prop fixed, so you won't have to edit anything, just search for it.

mmmh actually cyanogen made things easy to replace a system file, just copy your file into sdcard/android/root/system and reboot.
thanks for your help / posts. but unfortunately they're not helpful.
yes, i am serious! and yes, of course it's a system file. i know as well that modification might brick android.
there are reasons for modifying this file. some people seem to be able to, e.g. for chaning screen point density or modify the data passthrough.
so, please tell me, how can i edit/modify a system file from pc or windows mobile when its within the data.img-file?
thanks for any tips / hints on this.
use root explorer

Thank you VERY much for your help - I finally got it to work by listening your instructions. It is simply different if you have HD2 and plus CM mod. That figures why it was going back all the time to 180 instead of changing it - because it runs from sd card and that's where it needs to be replaced as well ...

Hi again! Does anyone got volume rocker awake to work on a rootet original. Fw 2.3.5 to work? Incase, how.?
EDIT: It seems that yannn007 has an easier way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22163390&postcount=95 I tried it, and it didn't work for me, unfortunately.
Since I promised to add to the wiki, let this be the first. I learnt this trick from a ROM by birdyi, so I credit him; however, I have seen it in ROMs that existed before his did.
How to make the volume rocker wake up the phone with the stock locker
Prerequisites:
apktool
Obtain /system/framework/android.policy.jar from your phone
Decompile said file using apktool
Open android.policy.jar.out/smali/com/android/internal/policy/impl/KeyguardViewMediator.smali (note, if you chose to extract to a different folder, then replace "android.policy.jar.out" with the name of your chosen folder)
Find the line ".method private isWakeKeyWhenKeyguardShowing(I)Z"
In this function, look for:
Code:
:sswitch_data_0
.sparse-switch
Underneath that, you'll see the following:
Code:
0x18 -> :sswitch_0
0x19 -> :sswitch_0
Remove the 0x18 and 0x19 lines, save and use apktool to rebuild the android.policy.jar file. Place it back onto your device and restart.
can u put the file already modified here?
It differs depending on ROM, I think
is it possible to make some think like a batch to do this ?
i have added the line to the prop file but it has not worked...
i am not familliar with this method and i am afraid of doing it
Magiclocker. No battery drain, full sleep. volume buttons does wake device, tested on u8800pro, gingerbread rom540 by geno, rooted.

Would also like that,thank you
Any dev can help?
widget locker also use volume rocker sw. for awake.i think no memory usage and min battery drain
HAhahahaha works!!!! Dammit I love open communities!
in order to awake with volume rocker sw, replace "androidpolicy" (in the attachment) with inside the "system/framework" than restart.it works.(tested with 518 and 526)
for replacement you must have root explorer or es file explorer with w/r permision.

Rather than use the flashable zip, use the instructions in the first post to modify your own android.policy.jar file.
Works, 100% reliable, and can be done on almost any ROM.

What do you mean by "flashable zip"? There is only jar file. Do you know the way to flash this jar file?
Thanks for your help and sorry for easy questions.

Sorry, i thought it had been packaged in a zip. Either way, what i mean is make the mods to your own file, to avoid issues where you install a file from a ROM or version that is different to what you have and make things break. The mod is easy to do.

Tried this file on mine and almost got bricked... I thought this would be compatible with the new ICS from DZO.
When I rebooted the phone, it got stuck on the Aurora ICS screen. I had to reinstall original ICS plugging the phone to an USB without the battery. If the battery was on the phone I just got the pink screen when rebooting with volume up+down+power...
My phone specs:
U8800
Android 4.0.4
Kernel 3.0.8-perf-g2600408-dirty
Build Aurora_4.1.4.0.4 IMM761 eng.
Martin.20120605.162907 test-keys
And since I don't have the time to learn jar editing, I'll wait for the time being.

If your phone is rooted and your in a custom rom then do this , but if your on stock rom , try to install samsunghub. apk and use the search button to look for the app
1. extract libgnustl_shared.so from system>lib of your rom's zip.
2. Copy and paste to System>>lib and change permission to rw-r--r--
3. Reboot and enjoy!

If you have a custom recovery then download the file from here and flash away. but if you dont have a custom recovery then use a root explorer and push the file in lib directory. and set permission

Hello Guys
I Rooted My Device Yesterday And Everything Went Good Until I Noticed That The Privet Mode Faild To Open And I Have Many Personal Photos That I Want To Reach
P.s. : Im Using Stock MM Rom, Rooted By CF Root And Im Using Wanam Xposed Framework
So Any Ideas How To Fix This Problem Without Lossing What Inside The Private Mode ?
Thanks In Advance
i resolve u must 1 clear all with twrp (advanced clear)than install firmwere than cf auto root than twrp 3 0 2 2 than last BETA-SuperSU (with twrp) now work all
But Thats Exactly What I Did First When I Rooted My Device, What Will Be Changed If I Just Clear My Device Whenever I Root Again I Will Face The Same Problem
We Need A Solution For After Rooting
Thanks For Your Interest I Appreciate
If you need to recover the files I think the only thing you can do is go to your Nandroid backup, restore, copy the files out of the Private Mode folder and start again.
I Want My Files But Also I Want To Make It Work
I Dont Have Any Back Ups How To Do Recovery ?
Thanks In advance
You need to install a custom firmware on the phone for private mode to work i think. That's the only way i've made it work again.
I have superman kernel on my phone.

This may make Private Mode work again, but I don't think you will be able to access the files that were there before. I had this problem on my old Note 4. I lost my files and learnt a lesson, backup always before doing anything and when changing ROMs make sure you copy your files out of Private Mode first, sorry man
i formatted data in recovery (twrp 3Minit_recovery_3.0.2-2_G935F) and flashed CF-Auto-Root (hero2lte-hero2ltexx-smg935f) + no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip and private mode is working fine on stock rooted (& i also have xposed installed & running so it must be possible to make it work
So Guys There Is No Such A Zip File Make It Work Again Like An Extention Just Install It And Get It work Fine Because Its Annoying To Start Over Again
Is There A Backup App. Exactly Like LG Backup That Backing Up Everything In The Device With Just A Bottom ?
I Am Appreciate For Everyone Of You

Ohhhh sorry, i thought he was just wanting to make private mode work.
i just read OP well and yeah, sorry man you wont be able to get them back. I myself have lost lot of files in private mode because when i flashed i forgot to move them out of private mode and lost them.
You will need to ask for the pics again
So Now If I Install A Custom Kernel Would It Get To Work Again, If Yes Which One Should I Install And How ?

Hi, I wanted to change charging sound of stock rom, cuz its so annoying, and i cant turn it off. So I wanted to change it, but ZTE is so cocky, that I m not able to find charging sounds in system/media/sounds/ui. I was able to change lock, unlock, touch and keyboard sounds, but charging ones are no wherw to be found. Does anyone know where is the file of charging sound in stock rom? (i wasnt able to find it in LineageOS as well, but on Xiaomi Redmi Note 4)

They're not in media but under system/priv-app/SystemUI_ZTE/
Look into the apk under res/raw/
There you have your charging.ogg

Ok, I copied systemui.apk from the location that you told me, then i replaced that charing.ogg. But now, when I copied it back (even from TWRP, or es file explorer), it feels like system dont see SystemUI.apk. The screen is totally black, and on first reboot I didnt have status bar. I fixed permissions, cleared chaches, and still nothing. Even if I copy back the original systemui.apk, its still the same. Im rocking your port of mifavor 5.0, do you know the solution how to properly install modified systemui.apk?

Most likely a signing problem or possible a clean flash needed.... (that is if you changed permissions right and so on....i cannot judge from here )
But as only res has to be modified i'd see no problem..
If you send me the ogg files you want to replace in the apk, i'll look into that and do a test myself.

These chinese ones are more stubborn as other roms. Therefore i deodexed the SystemUI_ZTE.apk
ONLY WORKING ON V2.0.0B13 (SL!M) Mifavor5.0
Here is the deodexed file : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850495598
Just extract it and replace existing in system/priv-app/SystemUI_ZTE/ and change to 644
And you'll have another "charging" tone
