Hello all, Here I present a tutorial on how to access build.prop without root!
If you havent already, Download ES File Explorer.
After installation, open it.
You are most likely to be landed on mnt/sdcard.
Click "Favorites".
Click the "/" with the phone icon.
After getting there, find the "system" folder.
Look for a file called "build.prop"
If prompted, open with any text file editor you have.
VOILA! You have now accessed the build.prop without root!
Press Thanks if I helped.

thanks a lot bro
i find it as a nice tip
i never knew of this feature thanks a lot
Im not gonna try this as i already have root and access to build.prop. But im gonna go ahead and say it wont work. Sure you can get to the build.prop location and file but will it even open? Its in /system and unless you have access to /system (root) then how are you going to open any files unless the system allows it? Going through files and seeing them is one thing. Opening and editing them is another.
That's right, I'm the premium potaytoman and i seek the TROOOOOF! Problem?

Lol dont worry. Editing the build.prop is nothing. I barely even need it. But like i said. Opening AND editing is another thing to just being able to see the files.

Without rooting you wont be able to save in build.prop. you need to be rooted for saving the desired value.
Do not be hurt, but at least this could be a joke of the week

At least you seemed clever enough to try. But like someone above me said. You have to be rooted to edit it and save it. Sure you can do whatever at first but if you cant save then then nothing will change.

there's a couple problems with this. What theme are you using. If your using a theme your gonna have to contact that dev and ask him. If your just using the rom I'm the man to talk to.
if I do this for you then others are going to want it done then it will be time consuming. And I won't be able to work in my other projects. However I wrote a how-to on changing the sprint branding. You can always follow those instructions.
If I have some free time I may try to fit this in.

just keep trying until you get it to work, you will feel awesome and you may learn a thing or two about android. there are a pretty limited number of ways to mess up such a small change so just do a little reading and you'll figure it out.

+1 to this. I recently started using a theme that I wanted tweaked in one little way. I posted something in the thread and got no response and so started screwing around with it myself. It took a while (and multiple screw ups) but I eventually got it to do what I wanted. However, I learned a ton in the process that made me come up with new and improved ways I might screw up... I mean improve... my phone.
By the way, I think the key to doing this with confidence is doing a full "nandroid" backup (i.e. a backup in clockwork). As long as you do this before messing with anything on the phone, you can pretty much always restore the backup and be right where you were. I got myself stuck a couple times and this saved me.

When I'm working on mods I zip up the files I edited so I can flash and test the mod. I also create a 2nd zip with the same files but un modified. So if the modified zip breaks things I flash the un modified zip

Strings.xml after you decompile framework-res.apk zz_roaming text you'll see it probably says acs already. Pull the framework res.apk decompile in apk manager, then navigate to projects/framework-res.apk/res/values/strings.xml. Scroll down towards the bottom and search for zz_roaming_. Note in apk manager when you recompile and it asks is this a system app choose y. Then it asks to preserve signature as well as files choose yes thenin apk manager you'll now have a keep folder. Delete the file named resources.arsc and then goto place here for modding folder. You'll see unsigned-framework-res.apk in there rename that to framework-res.

Turn usb debugging on in settings applications development. Hook your usb cable open a command prompt and in the terminal cd to the directory with the modded framework and type adb push framework-res.apk system/framework/ and then hit enter. This requires you have the android sdk installed and the tools in your path if u you have trouble with that then get a theme that works on your rom open the theme with a zip program and delete everything inside the system folder except the folder framework. Next open the framework folder and delete both framework-res.apk and twframework.apk. Next drag and drop your framework-res.apk into that framework folder close the zip and flash

Under LRK try libjni_latinime.so and libjni_secime.so
may be it's the same under LRF too
Thanks for sharing the app with us. To understand the purpose of the app. You can use it to restore your IMEI in case you missed it or lost. Am I correct. In that case. does anyone used it .. and give us a demonstration how to use it without damaging anything.
Thanks
Nope, AFAIK this has no relation to IMEI, this one is for chinese input for keyboard.

Once a deodexed rom is released it will be easier to test the hotspot mod out. Because not having the phone would require someone else that can Odex the files and test. This would be a pain because you would have to do that for each test. For now I am curious about something though. Is there anyone out there with the S5 that is paying for the hotspot? If so can you configure it and connect to it at least once, if you haven't already, and send me your services.jar and services.odex? You will probably need to be rooted in order to get to the files. Don't worry there won't be any sensitive information in the files.
I tried the mod you posted, same as was done on Note 2. Not sure if it worked or not as the build had some data issues, so couldnt comnect to test. It compiled and booted fine with the line deletion at least. Was easy enough to find

Thank you. Could you Odex your hotspot mod and try it with either your rom or stock to see if it works? If it works on Odex then you know it will work on deodexed once it is ready.
To get the native hotspot working, you need to:
update carriers set type="default,mms,dun" where apn="n.ispsn";
in the following file:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
This is what worked for me on Sprint North America. Just got it working today, was trying all the known tricks including rebuilding framework-res.apk with no luck. Be advised however I first used a sqlite app from the market and it added a space between mms and dun which did not work. I installed the sqlite3 binary and did that SQL command from adb shell. Can do more of a walk through if needed, let me know.

It's not a big problem. I knew your zip was different. My only point is that Mike published the method of unlocking the hotspot first. So he should have been credited for finding the fix. That's it. You could have kept your zip alive if you wanted to. Although I still believe his install is safer.

Because his zip only does a sql update for the specific change that is required. You're zip replaces the entire db file. Nothing may ever come of that. But if a user had a db file which had different contents than the one you provide they would lose those changes. There is also a very slight possibility that permissions on that file could get corrupted when replacing it. Highly unlikely though. I'd be more concerned about the first possibility.

Can you download files from LAN to selected folder, modify it, and send it again? or you can, using eg QuickPic sort images to different folders?
Can you use download files, and send files to different folders? eg apps to apps, music to music.?
Or you can using ID3 Tag editor download and modify music data/covers?

Give it a rest. We get it. The changes to external SD access have inconvenienced you. The changes are no surprise, so you shouldn't have upgraded if it was so critical to you to continue having full read/write access with every app.
Either use one of the fixes suggested in this thread or in the other thread you're complaining repeatedly in, or downgrade to 4.3.

its not about me, what about other people that see update, install it and find out that they cant use 50% of their apps? did you thought about that? and some people cant root, or dont know how.
I just use 4.3 but others update their XZ and would just find out that their phones doesn't work like before and just call XZ stupid phone and sell it, they gonna buy different phone and find out it again and they gonna see how google mess with idea of freedom of Android.
Its like some car producer would say that you cant use your back seats, and lock back doors, how you would feel about that?

This is a development site. Most people here are perfectly capable of rooting to workaround issues like this or even of checking critical changes in Android updates before blindly updating. I posted about this change in KitKat a few times in the large thread about the update that you've participated in, for a start.
Repeatedly complaining after you've been told how to fix your issue is doing nothing but pointlessly flooding threads in any case. Please stop.

Dude I can do anything I like and there is no error .. So if you really dont know why its not working for you simply just downgrade to 4.3 rather just thinking of others , if they like the phone they will keep it and if they dont then obviously everyone has their own choice to sell it or buy it. So please stop complaining and take some time to fix it if its not working for you then just simply downgrade ... AND CHILL

"That guy shot someone, so that means I'm allowed to do it!"
Come on now, really?
There's no reason for you to repeatedly complain about this in different threads after you've been informed of how to fix it.
This is becoming off topic and it's disrespectful to flood a useful thread like this, so this is my last word on the subject. Have a good day.

I'm trying to use the ext sdcard to use as destination for Titanium Backup. I am rooted. Can this be done? I created a folder but I get the message that this is not writable. Any help?
EDIT. Downloaded sdfix

Could we just convert an app like solid explorer to a system app to regain full control? Is that why file commander still works, or is it something else? I haven't had a chance to upgrade yet and try this out.
Thanks in advance.

This works for me... TB (6.1.5.6 Pro) uses /storage/scard1/TitaniumBackup folder.
I installed 4.4.2 with FTF, rooted with towellroot, instamlled SuperSU and used NextApp SDFix.
This SD Card ussue is not fix for Xperia Devices - I've tried the Fix app, but it change nothing even if it says so... Have someone a solution!?
P.S. To convert some app into system App doesn't work neather.....
