- chmod 777 build.prop - This allows me to overwrite or edit the build.prop
- edit the build.prop and save it
- chmod 750 build.prop - I'm not 100% certain this is the right permissions for build.prop but it should be safe.
- reboot
The device is certainly more usable now. |
The / is mounted as read-only. To be able to change any file under it, make / writable first. It can be done in a few clicks in ES File Explorer.
Tools -> Root Explorer -> ON
click on Root Explorer -> Mount R/W -> change / to be RW
(remember to change it back to RO after modifying the file)
