Well...
In the root explorer, go.to the folder with the prop, then click the upper right corner, there is a button, click it, and try again, cuz that button is giving you permission to edit it, after clicking that button, try to edit the customization code again to update ... have fun
To change the permission, you MUST root your phone, or else that button won't show up!!

You need to change the lcd density in /system/build.prop.... Default is 240. Open that file in text editor and should look like for example, lcd density 180. Just use a file explorer with root access such as Es file explorer, or Root explorer. You need to enable read/write access or your changes will not be saved. Then reboot after you make changes.
how much should i keep it so it is exact.....

Download ES File Explorer from Market.
Open ES File Explorer.
Press Windows button and goto settings.
Goto Root Options.
Check Root Explorer and choose HiAPK.
Check Mount File System.
Press Back button until you reach the Main screen of ES.
Press the SD Icon in the upper left corner It will turn to a house.
Now you are in the Root folders.
Goto System folder.
Open build.prop with ES Note Editor.
Scroll down until you see ro.sf.lcd_density=167.
Change the 167 to 240.
Press Back button and save.
Exit ES and reboot.

After installing MiniCM on my X8, volume keys are not working while the screen is locked. This is very helpful as I use the phone as music player quite often.
I found this thread on XDA

But I don't know how to edit this file. Can someone help?
Thanks,

Do you have Root Explorer?
If so you need to re write to R/W so you can change files.
Then you need to find the file and then edit it
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!

how do i go about doing that?
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?

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?
