laymil has posted a much better script for this. As such I will be discontinuing my work on this for now. Not for any hard feelings, but because it is now beyond me to help any further.
As always I am glad to have helped the community in some small way. Thank you all
CHEERS
Geniusdog254 Posted the exact lines in the build prop that needed to be changed. This is a pretty common fix for problems like this between versions of Android. There was some concern however that you may miss some of the newer apps released only for Froyo. I wrote some simple scripts that will fix this for us.
Simply: One puts the Froyo build.prop on your phone. The other puts the modded build.prop on your phone.
Prerequisites
YOU MUST HAVE GSCRIPT INSTALLED
YOU MUST HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED
(IF YOU ARE USING PAULS FROYO ROM FROM HERE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686631
IT DOES NOT HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED
Also--
There are now 2 downloads.
One will reboot your phone automatically
One will not!
(I recommend this one for anyone that has problems, or doesn't know ADB well.)
Installation
Code:
Download the attached .zip file
Place the "buildprop" folder in the root of your sdcard
Place both "Normal_Froyo.sh" and "Modded_Froyo" files in the gscript folder on your sdcard
Code:
Open Gscript
Press menu and select Add Script
Press Load File button
Select Normal_Froyo file
Press Save button at bottom
Repeat for Modded_Froyo file
After that all you have to do is open gscript and select which one to run.
Normal_Froyo will give you stock froyo build.prop and let you see froyo only apps
Modded_Froyo will give you the market fix build.prop
You can also create shortcuts directly on your homescreen for each script if you wish
-----------------------------------------------
I've decided to skip the update.zip, I've found no way to copy the scripts to the gscript folder on the sdcard this way.
I'm going for an app instead.
P.S. I've never written an app before, java looks like russian to me lol. So if anyone has any tips, or knows any good tut's let PM me and let me know.
------------------------------------------------
fixed no buildprop folder
added NON-autoreboot download.
buildprop switcher v0.3.zip ORIGINAL
buildprop_switcher_no_rebootv0.3.zip NO REBOOT
buildprop swticher v0.3.1.zip DOWNLOAD THIS ONE
When the file is unzipped, there are 4 files - No Buildprop folder. Now I get the part about putting the two .sh files into Gscript folder.
Do I make another folder called buildprop and put build.2.1 and build.2.2 inside?
OR
Do I put build.2.1 and build.2.2 onto the root of the SDCARD?

So sorry lol Didn't notice until I was making the update.zip that I didn't put the other files in a folder IN the zip. Just make a folder on your sdcard called buildprop. and put them in there.
BTW testing the flashable update.zip method right now
thx, seems to work

Right.. the checkin service runs on each reboot. So it is not needed.
Worked just fine, but I did have to do the checkin thing. Possibly had poor signal but checkin hadn't done on reboot. Worked fine after that...

Can the checkin method be used, instead of rebooting? I'd much rather switch back and forth via checkin rather than having to reboot.
Thanks.

The reboot is built into the script. On my phone, if I checkin, the apps still don't show till I reboot. But show if I only reboot. If checkin alone works for you though, you can remove the reboot command from the script.
I'm not sure what happened, but after following the instructions exactly, my phone crapped. It got as far as the first nexus logo (non-animated), then the buttons lit up and I got a black screen. And that's how it stayed.
Any ideas?
This worked great for me I also solved my (unrelated) prob with SlideIt by forcing the dictionary to save in the settings, so I'm no longer bothered about losing shortcuts stuff on a reboot.
Dandy!!
tested again with a second n1. works perfect! automated checkin works perfect.
Can you please post what changed in the .prop file.
Also you didn't add the video codecs in the "new" prop file

The only thing I changed from the stock to the "modded" build.prop were these 2 lines
from this
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2 FRF50 38042 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF50/38042:user/release-keys
to this
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.1-update1 ERE27 24178 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.1-update1/ERE27/24178:user/release-keys
I didn't add anything else to these. If you would like other things added to the build.prop files. You are welcome to edit them yourselves, or let me know what things you want changed, and I can include them.
I can make it user friendly. With descriptions for each modded line, then you can simply un-comment the options that you want.
PS: I thought I had the flashable update ready, but the update-script is giving me problems. ANYONE that wants to help please let me know. I'd really like to get this out to everyone.

To anyone that can't get thier phone to boot all the way after doing this
Its not a big deal. Your phone booted. But the build.prop didn't get copied before the reboot.
If you did a nandroid before you tried it. Restore that!
If you didn't, OR you know how to use adb. Do this
Code:
adb remount
adb push [COLOR="red"]/path/to/build.2.1(or)build.2.2[/COLOR] /system/build.prop
adb reboot
I hope to have this fixed quickly.
ANYONE WHO'S PHONE WILL NOT BOOT AFTERWARDS!
Check and make sure you put the files in the right place.
build.2.2
&
build.2.1
go in
build.prop FOLDER ON YOUR SDCARD
that was the only reason I got the error, i deleted the files off my card when i was testing the flashable update.
If you still get an error. open both files in the gscript folder, and remove or comment out the reboot line. Then tell me what error you get in gscript.
So I did this and am able to see the new apps. When I reboot the phone I cannot see a bunch of old apps in my launcher. I revert to the normal script and reboot again and still cannot see a bunch of my apps. Appbrain says theyre installed and I can open them from there but no widgets or shortcuts for them Any Ideas?

Are those apps moved to the SD by any chance? If so, best bet is to go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Find your launcher, and force stop it. Should work after that.

Nope they're not on SD. I'll try the fc of launcher.
Ok it worked thank you! but my xiia widget still is not back and I'm assuming others. Anything I can do for the widgets?
Ok installed and reinstated the app. Works great thx again.
Update:
Ok after another reboot, apps don't show again. FC the launcher they come back but not the widgets.. Grrrrrr...
Here is the correct way to use root explorer for manually replacing system files:
1. Mount the system as r/w (read/write) per the top right corner. Navigate to the file that you plan to replace (e.g., system/framework/framework.jar).
2. Copy (not move) the file and paste it somewhere on your SD card (internal or external, doesn't matter - as long as you can locate it in case you need to put it back). Rename the file you just pasted, but very subtly. For example, when renaming framework.jar, I would only throw something in front of the file name, such as "Backup - framework.jar", so I can easily distinguish it from the new file if I put them in the same spot.
3. NANDROID BACKUP!
4. Download/put on your sd card (whatever you do) the new file that you want to replace the old one with.
5. Move the new file to /system (not in a subfolder yet). Here you will change the permissions, which is crucial to avoid FCs and problems. In root explorer, you would long press the file, press permissions, and set them to whatever the old file's permissions are. This may require going to verify what they are before starting this step. For example, in a lot of cases, the permissions will be RW-R-R. In Root Explorer, this would mean checking the first two boxes on the first line and only the first box on the next two lines. In any situation, confirm that the permissions you see after you've changed them (right below the file name) match exactly what you're replacing.
6. Ensure that your new file is correctly named to exactly what it is replacing (case actually matters) and double check the permissions.
7. Move your new file to the folder, root explorer will ask if you want to replace the file. Confirm.
8. Back out of root explorer and immediately reboot.
No force closes, no problems .
It may seem like a lot to someone who doesn't do it often but for me, I actually do this method faster than any other and fly through it every time. I got tired of seeing people explain ways to use Root Explorer which result in bootloops, FCs, etc. without fail. So, I decided to put an end to it.
Great post Simba501! Thank you for this...
Obviously a "noob" thing I'm over-looking but when I try and paste the file I'm moving into /system it's prompting me that it's "read-only"?

Those are only for flashing purposes. Not needed if you're not flashing it. You only need to pull everything besides that folder and place them appropriately.
Using this method resulted in "app not installed" tried it with black Google search box, and just now with Mms.apk rw-r--r-- backed up old one, but method didn't work... had to nandroid last time because phone wouldn't let me install backup or market version. Looks like I'm in for it again. fudge. what went wrong?
System folder was r/w and moved apk into system/app said OK to overwrite and used hard key back button to exit root explorer. Hard key power button and selected reboot within 1-4 seconds of moving apk over system app.

You don't install it after placing it. Placing it in the folder does install it. If you put it there, ensure the permissions are correct, and reboot, it should work.
EDIT: I don't see any mention of setting the permissions, so that was probably the issue. Again, no need to "install" it; just put it in the appropriate folder and set the permissions.

I did state the permissions. It's in your quote lol. Your method caused my phone to say app not installed. I had trouble getting the default app back after your method failed. Why didn't it work? I'm telling you I followed it to a T.

If the apk is compatible, it will work. At no point should you get an "application not installed" prompt, unless you attempted to manually install it at some point. If it wouldn't work, it just wouldn't appear in the app drawer: no prompt.
I guess this should be mentioned in the OP, but some times, clearing data of the application may be necessary after finishing. Usually a force stop at the most will allow you to see changes (which is why the steps include a reboot). You've piqued my interest. Post the files of question and I'll see if they work on my device. There was a similar issue someone else was having; I told him to redownload the apk and that was the problem. Some kind of botched file/download.

It fails if attempting to create it within Root Explorer. You could use other means though (on a PC, an edited ROM zip, or potentially another root file manager). But again, no real reason to: other than for development purposes, perhaps. I'm no developer though, so I can't say.

Ah okay, I was referring to ES file explorer, which can modify other files in that directory.
thanks to you both!
Ok (after rooting) here is how I installed GApps (Market, Google Framework, etc) on the Nook Tablet, as well as the steps I took to stabilize everything...
1. Downloaded GApps package from goo-inside.me and extracted files.
2. Deleted the setupwizard.apk file from the set of extracted files (in the system\app folder).
3. Copied "system" folder from extracted files to tablet via USB.
4. Used Root Explorer to remount /system and copy files into their designated locations, and also set permissions (644) on all copied apk's in /system/app folder.
5. Rebooted.
6. Ran the market, signed in with my Google account, and downloaded/installed Superuser. Ran the binary update within the app.
7. Install any additional apps from Android Market.
8. Profit.
Known issues...
1. If setupwizard.apk ends up on your tablet you will not be happy.
2. A factory reset is recommended after installing GApps (though probably not necessary).
3. Not all apps show in the Market. Perhaps a build.prop tweak will fix this???
Enjoy!!!
this is a second good news after rooting!
anlong:
Use either wireless adb found here: https://market.android.com/details?id=siir.es.adbWireless
or use debugging toggle found here: http://code.google.com/p/secure-set.../detail?name=ADBWidget-0.2-alpha.apk&can=2&q=
^ instructions for that:
Download ADBWidget.apk
Copy ADBWidget.apk to /system/app (you can use root explorer or something.)
Add ADBWidget to your home screen
Anlog,
I was able to get SuperUser installed following the directions on the other discussion! Thanks for much for all your hard work.
Working on getting Google Apps installed right now.
Update: Well I have SuperUser on my Nook, but whenever I try to copy anything to \system\app it tells me I don't have permissions. Looks like I can't get root to actually run.
run chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
which version of Gapps do I need Cyanogen 6 MDPI?
Make sure root is fully working before you try to install GApps. Use the latest ones for CM7 (I think its from August). You need to remount /system as RW before copying the files and setting permissions. Root Explorer lets you do all of that.
All of this could be done with an ADB script as well, but I won't have time to write one today. Anyone?

Finally figured out what was wrong initially, root does not seem to work unless you manually enter commands. Attempted market setup, for some reason it is still force closing every time. Any chance someone who got it working could upload exact files they used.

I ran into issues copying the whole folder over. I am currently running the google market though.
do everything one step at a time, install the googleframework first (from the directions on the kindle page), then do the market. I ran into the first time through the market would not actually connect so I rebooted the NT.
*note*
each time you reboot your NT you need to go in and what appears is toggle the usb debugging off then on, same with the "auto mount", and I did the unknown sources as well (not sure if this is necessary). It appears a reboot resets the flags and our menu isn't actually writing the settings so you have to toggle it.
Push comes to shove, start over with fresh reboot. It took me a few times (as it probably did others as well).

that part is clearly stated but using root explorer and getting it to mount doesnt seem to work properly on my device. I have root and superuser. titanium backup works fine. for some reason root explorer on es explorer says it fails every time
-1 Go download latest Gapps and extract the contents to your HD. There will be two folders, one of which is "system."
-2 In the system folder there will be more folders, one of which is "app." Inside of app are all the system APKs.
-3 Detele SetupWizard.apk
-4 Now copy the app folder to the root of your NT SD card via USB.
-5 Next step you need to use ADB or Root Explorer...I used Root Explorer.
-6 Open root explorer, then go to sdcard and you should see the APP folder you copied.
-7 Once there, hit menu -> multi select > then put a check mark to what you want copied then hit the copy button.
-6 now hit back untill you're back in the root
-8 Then navigate to system, and at the top you should see button "Mount RW" hit that button.
-9 Then go into the App folder, and hit paste.
-10 All the selected APKs are now in the system/app folder.
-11 Now you need to give each of the copied apps permission by long-clicking on it till a menu comes up, hit permissions, then check all the check boxes next to "Owner"
-12 After you did that to all the apps hit the "mount RO" button on top of the screen
-13 Reboot the NT.
That should do it...hopefully I havent missed anything.
Hi there,
I upgraded my Galaxy 551 to Gingerbread 2.3.6. All went well. Unfortunately it seems to be a common side effect that the Z and Y keys (and some others) get swapped. The fix is apparently to modify the file /system/usr/keychars/sec_keypad.kcm.bin. The ideal thing is to put the old file from before the FW update back in, but of course I don't have that anymore! But the existing one can apparently be altered. If I can copy it to the SD card I can alter it in a hex editor and put it back.
So, I rooted my phone with that one click application, and that went OK too. I installed root explorer and found the file. There were also some others in the same folder I may be able to use. But, I cant make the folder R/W (pressing the button does nothing) so cant do anything with the file. I also tried Super Manager with no luck.
I am new to the phone fiddling stuff so noob level instructions would be appreciated!
Think I have it sorted. I installed superuser and then Root Explorer allowed me to select read/write. Now to try sort out this file!
OK, seems that you need to edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/sec_keypad.kl. Did that. DO'H now my keyboard doesn't work at all! Glad it saved a backup for me! Not sure what I did wrong, only edited two characters in a text file! Even the power button doesn't work. Got to pull that battery out LOL!
It seems when the file was saved it was saved with zero size. When I try to delete it to replace it with the backup it says cant delete, read only. So, not sure how I am meant to replace this and fix this problem.
Any ideas, remembering that I cant actually use any buttons on the phone!
Ok, I have root and have used it quite effectivly as well as the apps/programs available. That is, until now. While tired and foggy headed, I went ahead and copied a file into my System folder. However, the way I did it was oh so very stupid. Instead of actually copying the file itself over, I decided to copy the System folder that 1 file was sitting in over onto the device. Oh lucky day, doing that wiped everything but that one file from the System folder so that my phone had a heart attack and I had to pull the battery. Saying a prayer to the Root Gods, I turned my phone back on and, you guessed it, it went to the recovery screen with the happy Update Android sitting there. Due to not having a recovery image or file to be able to recover my phone, I am in need of some assistance. I hope someone out there can help me. Any further questions for me, please ask.
I really hope someone can help me with this.

Don't have an LG Realm myself but I couldn't really understand the problem. Is it a Qcom or MTK device? Can you access recovery? Can you access ROM? Can you access Emergency/Download Mode? Does the device turn on?
I am attaching a pocture of the screen. After i wiped out the root system folder, the phone had to be hard restarted so i pulled the battery. When the phone went to restart, it didnt go to the loading screen. It went to the Android System Recovery screen. The android Installing System Update screen is there and all i can do is use the volume keys to go between options. One of them is Apply Update From External Sdcard, the rest are to apply from inside the phone, which cant happen because of my goof up. It also says E:missing bitmap stage_empty and missing stage_fill.

What happens when you are pressing power button when on reboot system now?
I have actually tried all the options. Reboot brings me back to that screen after the LG splash screen. The other options look for the recovery in the phone, which is not there. That was why i was looking for a possible recovery file to put on my sdcard and use the external sdcard option.

How you managed to delete /system partition describe me please. The thing is that I don't find any Stock Rom you can flash... Well tell me how you got it deleted and if you made a backup somehow first.
Like i said in my op, i never did anything this stupid before. I ended up copying another system folder on top of the original. The one i copied only had 1 file in it that was for my signal. However, when it copied over, it replaced the folder with everything needed to keep my android phone working with the folder with just the one file. And like an idiot, i never made a backup of my phone after i rooted it. Like i said, i am actually not a beginner at this, just made a big mistake of instead of just moving the one file over.

It's **** we need to flash a new Firmware on your phone nothing where I can fine one there is a way though. Give me a pm with this:
Your IMEI
Your S/N
the name of phone (EX. LG P710) the number and letter if there is not Realm. Ofc IMEI S/N of the phone. Not here in pm .
this sounds exactly like my problem. I have two LG realms. I was messing around with the build.prop on one of them. I saved the original but somehow when I copied and pasted it back into sys file, the phone gets a black screen of death right after the boot screen. I am able to get into the stock recovery, but no further. I'm thinking that a copy of the stock firmware is my only help.
Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I have the same problem. Come on, don't leave us hanging please!
