Root Build.Prop Tweaks confirmed working [Updated 9/18/2015]

Ok so I successfully rooted my phone and installed custom recovery so I decided to try this. All I did was change the splitwindow thing and now my phone won't start. I turn it on and it just stays on the LG screen. I have a backup but no idea how to access recovery. Anyone can help? Sorry if it is off-topic

How did you edit the build.prop?

Pretty much followed what you said. Copied the build.prop from /system to sdcard and then to my pc desktop. Edit from there and then put it back.

I'm trying this (http://androidcreations.weebly.com/lg-g-stylo-update.html) right now. Tried using LG Bridge but it is stuck on "Connecting".

Update: LG Bridge connected after a while but gave me this when I tried update error recovery.

Did you set the permissions on build.prop correctly after pushing it? It should be rw-r--r--.

I'd imagine if your rooted you should hopefully still be able to use adb and chmod to change it and reboot, it should boot. If not you may be able to use the same LGoneclick root method to gain access to a root shell from download mode.

He should be able to go into recovery n fix permissions there too

Here are some build.prop tweaks that i have tried out, there are plenty of ways to edit the build.prop file i personally use root browser (file explorer) which has a RB Text editor....

So the build prop editors on android tend to cut off the build.prop characters after a certain point so to get around this copy your build.prop from /system to your SD. Then transfer it from SD to the desktop of your computer after your comfortable with the edits; move the "original" one in the SD card to a new sub folder which probably want to name "original prop" then copy the edited one to the root of your SD then replace the one you have in /system then fix the permissions to 0644 and reboot and profit (you can use gedit on Ubuntu or Notepad++ on windows don't know about mac tho)

Does your phone tell you that you need to purchase an upgrade to your plan whenever you try and tether? Depending on your carrier, this line may help:

How do I apply "ALL" Of these to the build prop? It's like when I copy and paste alot gets cut off as if there's a limit to the build prop. . .

You need an app like build.prop editor or droidEdit pro which its the one i use. But you need to set permission if not you will encounter bootloops... Like you have in the past...

any clue why dual window is sooooooo slow??[/QUOTE]
Sorry been traveling... No signal in the air... You mean splitwindows... Not really... I have my cpu work @ different frequency for different apps... I have the max for the adobes n mid or lower for more simple ones.. I use fauxclock.app
 
Does setting the property values for Dolby enable Dolby Audio & if so how do you edit the .xml in the etc folder. I don't understand . . .

Attention if you try this and end up with a brick or your device transforms and tries to destroy you; it's not my fault you did this not me. So just read all of this thread not just the O.P to get out of a bind if you reply with "the thread is too long i wont read it please help" don't expect anything short of "there's a search bar use it"
