I'm currently using the Lite'ning Rom and I want to change the display's dpi setting of this build, but the build.prop file is marked read-only, so I cannot edit it with Root Explorer.
Is there a way to edit this file, maybe edit it in the ROM-image before flashing?

Hello guys. There's this problem that I have with TTR4 for Android, and that problem probably can be solved by modyfing one string in the app's config file (located in /System/App directory), but since it's inside the application file and I can only take a look at it using the Root Explorer - I can't make any changes to that file.
So, my question is: how can I unpack/decompile (dunno which variant is the correct one), change the string in that config file, and pack/compile the .apk back to its state? What tools do I need to do that?
I have rooted my HTC One aka M7 and all is well except when I try to edit my keyboard layout which is located in:
/system/usr/keylayout
I can edit the file but when rebooting to test it, my changes have reverted back to stock.
I am familiar with editing the files as I have done this before on many phones and tablets.
I usually just use ES File Explorer with R/W (Read / Write) permissions turned on for the /system directory.
Very easy to do and have never had a problem before.
As a test, I have tried renaming the original file by adding a number 1 to the end of the file and then replacing the stock file with my edited version.
This has always worked but when I try this on the HTC One upon reboot the original file that has been renamed with a 1 at the end is now gone from the /system/usr/keylayout folder and the stock file is back and the edited version of the file is gone.
I know 'file permissions' are correct as I have set the file to what it was before any changes and I know I have R/W permisions for the /system folder set correctly because without it I can not even rename the stock file (adding the 1 on to the end of the file's name is not allowed unless R/W is set for the /system folder).
It is almost like there is a backup that is being replaced upon reboot to the /system/usr/keylayout folder.
If there is a backup, I can not find where the backup file is to edit/change it also.
I am trying to change the AVRCP.kl file but it its the same no matter which file I edit or rename, it always reverts back to stock file (both the name and the contents) after a reboot.
Anyone have any ideas? Anyone edited there keylayout on the HTC One aka M7 yet?
Thanks
Come on people, no one can answer this question?
I have the exact same problem except I have an M8. Something somewhere keeps reverting the kl file/folder on reboot.
I'm running BeanStalk and can't do anything with system files using either the built in BeanStalk Explorer or ES File Explorer. I'm trying to move some apps to system app but it won't work. Also I cannot edit permissions on anything in the system either or edit my build.prop. I won't even fix permissions in Recovery. I've tried remounting the system with Terminal Emulator but still can't get the option to change permissions. It's 4.3 based is there something different on the latest build of android.
Howdy.
I'm trying to modify a .so file (libflashplayer.so), but have run into a few problems:
I first tried editing the file after it was installed from an .apk. This appears to work at first, but the edited file is quickly replaced with the original.
I then tried editing the file in the .apk package. This causes the package to fail to install (I'm guessing because the md5 in the certificates no longer matches)
Aldo tried moving a folder with the .so files from the .apk (com.adobe.flashplayer-1 which is what is created when the .apk installs correctly) directly into /data/app-lib/.The directory was created successfully but appears to be immediately deleted.
Is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? If so how?
Other possibly relevant info:
My device is rooted
I did not write the code for anything in the .apk, I got it from a link on xda (pretty dubious i know but I couldn't find another option)
I'm using cyanogenmod 10.2 (based on android 4.2 I believe).
I'm editing the file with a hex editor to change a a few characters ("AND" to "WIN")
Hi,
I need help. I want to edit file - mixer_paths_tavil.xml.
It's in /vendor/etc folder.
I want to change max volume, but i can't save this file, after editing.
Please help!
Have you tried making a duplicate of the file, edit it, and then eliminate the first one( after you make a backup, of course) ? If it doesn't work with a Root file Manager, you can always use TWRP to copy and move files...
For me... The easy step is copy this file to phone storage. Then edit, when finish, just copy to the foldẻr then overwrite. For easy do, can try "xplore"
I tried, I can't delete a file, or overwrite / replace it with other.

you need Root permissions.
Go to recovery mount your system then reboot ? edityour file then save
To change master volume you can simply install viper magisk module ? in viper settings you can edit master volume
