Hello, as You probably know yet, our phones have very bright key backlight, and there's no way to decrease it. When i was reading something in night, these light was burning my eyes, so i found script which turn it off.
How to use?
When on CM10.1/Avatar/PAC:
Use f.e. Root Explorer and move attached file into \system\etc\init.d
Then change proporties of that file to rwxr-xr-x
Now reboot device, key backlight'll be off.
When on rooted stock, You must use Script Manager to activate script and run it on boot. Just follow instructions above, but before reebot, just select script in smanager and set it root permissions and run on boot.
You can don't have init.d folder, just make one yourself in \system\etc directory.
Not sure it's right section, if not please mod to move it somewhere else.

I used the file for dual touch using insmod and it worked.
Now I wanted to make sure that it is fixed with the phone, I read the procedure and tried to follow her, but I do not find any files bulid.prop ....
Where is it?
Please help me.
build.prop is in
root, system folder
tell me if it works for you, I tried this and I couldn't get it to work.

using it without changing the files, it works QuickPic, Copilot.
In google maps does not work. Not even in browsers like Opera or Ninesky.
But I thought that by modifying these files, worked in the rest.

Where is the other file "hw_config.sh"? Because what I found I had no voice "insmod" ...

Not sure what ROM you're using, but you may need this file to get the other apps using dualtouch:

this is the problem?? I've Stock ROM 2.1update1 with firmware 2.1.1.A.06
then, I have to create that file and copy it into /system/etc/permissions with rootexplorer...
now I try this...and you know I do!
EDIT: NOT WORKING...I have create that file (copy and paste the code in the frame in a txt file, and renamed android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml) then I've paste it into /system/etc/permissions and associated it permission rw-r-r
rebooted and not working...single touch.
yet launched from the console does the dual touch working in some applications ... why?
EDIT 2: Please do not send me to hell, but by creating the file and rebooting, if I launch "insmod" from the console, dual touch works in all apps!
How is it possible, however, that the changes to make it start with phone not work?
I want to work "even" when I restart the phone!
Did you try this version?

With this script you can enable and disable a lot of things ... I can just see if it works ...and let you know ...
I wanted to ask, but what is JIT? what does it do?
thank you in advance for availability ..
EDIT: Works!!! without launching the script, I went just to see how the command was written in the file "hw_config.sh" ...
I corrected, and after restarting, it works!
I was wrong because we put the quotes, but no need to write.
The correct lines of code to be included in the file "hw_config.sh" (at bottom) are:
# load multi touch driver
insmod /system/lib/modules/cy8ctma300_ser.ko
sleep 1
After you have copied into system/lib/modules "cy8ctma300_ser.ko" , mounted it as rw-rr , and edit the file "build.prop" as indicated in the post.
works!!!
thanks!!!!

Check the options "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System". Then click the "Favorites" on the top bar, select "/", navigate to /system/etc/, find gps.conf and delete it.

i did reboot opened google maps and it showed exactly where i was. And the problem that bothered me was me keeping gps turned off all the time only to find that it would turn itself on which I do not like. I want to disable it permanently because I don't think its nessecary for basic phone and web service. I dont feel that my movements should be tracked for any reason it's just weird! If I am correct the phone service is done through the wireless connection not gps?
Shouldn't u prefer changing ROM?
Problem solved and closed! The original instructions are correct & results are as originally claimed in first reply to the op. For some reason it didn't delete properly the first time,I fixed this by restoring my backup & re-attempting. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED
Well I could have helped, but I'm an optimus one user, so I don't know which one is a stable optimus v rom...asking an optimus v user will be better...
Code:
First of all, you like it or dont like it, feel free to ask for changes , but not for ETA.
Don´t post it elsewhere, without permission!
Code:
Your bootanimation is might be in /system/customize/resource
Download the bootanimation
Push it with ADB to /system/customize/resource or use file manager app to copy
# use filemanager for paste©
# set the right permissions (644 rw r r )
I am not responsible for anything, except my own phone
It is an edit of the stock animation, same framerate and resolution

You can set the permissions using a file manager, I´ve tested venom explorer a few seconds ago, but I cannot find the option .
You can try solid explorer ...

On some ROMs (e.g. InsertCoin) you have to rename the two files to 'hTC_bootup_one.zip' and 'hTC_downanimation.zip'. These are the names of the animations in the stock ROM.
Correct
THX for the addition
Just for infos sake,,,,,,,,,
I had to rename mine to "ATT_bootanimation.zip" and "ATT_dow,,,,,,,,
That's what the originals were named.
Thanks for the hard work.
This is very simple. Any noob can follow this and most of you know of this tweak.
1)Open a Root Explorer app or any file manager with root permissions.
2)Go to /system
3)Mount folder in R/W and open build.prop in text editor
4)Scroll to the very bottom and enter
Code:
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
5)Save and Exit. A full reboot is required to see that this works.
You can change =1 to =0 to disable this. Or simply delete the line that was added.
Pressing the thanks button is very appreciated.
P.S. I think this results in a faster boot up time. Let me know what you think.

made no difference whatsoever on my att hox+. all the boot anims still played.
but i'm not deodexed yet so that might be playing a role in that.
Sweeeeeeeeeeet! It killed the AT&T obnoxious boot animation.Thanks for the tip.
Cool.

It does work.
I've tested this in hopes that some build.prop tweaks are worth it. Well this one is...my Samsung Galaxy Nexus booted from 3-5 seconds faster when the boot animation was disabled. It was noticeable that when the phone intially turned it took longer to get to the animation b/c it had to load it. However it is sort of scary to have my phone suddenly just 'turn on'.. oh well. less clutter
Thanks!
Thank you!
Works great for me...
My Device: Samsung Galaxy Ace (S5830)
Android 4.2.2: Cyanogenmod 10.1
Editor: TotalCommander
The Device starts 2-3 seconds faster... And the Interfaces (Touchscreen + Keys) respons faster after turning on, not so laggy!
I can enter my pin faster :silly:
Result:
Minimal effect nevertheless nice!
Try it guys!

Also check to see if you even have a boot animation in /system/customize/resources/ or /system/media/

Your boot animation was likely deleted, moved, or renamed by the app you used. The boot animation file can be placed in many locations for use at startup. I would look in the /system/media folder for a file named bootanimation.zip, however the app may have renamed it. So it may not have the .zip at the end if that's the case then rename it back to bootanimation.zip and then give that a shot. If you don't find it there it could be in /system/customize/resources or even in the /data partition or moved to the SD card. Make sure the boot animation file exists before you attempt to fix anything.
Thanks so much!
Your tips worked like a charm.
Startup time is quicker, and less laggy on the homescreen!

Step 1.) download a text editor.i suggest 920 text editor.
Step 2.) you will also need an root explorer so download that also.
Step 3).open up your root explorer and navigate to system/build.prop. and copy that file to another directory. i.e example sdcard/download.then rename
original build.prop file to build.prop.bak
Step 4).open up your text editor and navigate to the directory where you copied the build.prop file
Step 5.)look for this line [they are both close to the end of the build.prop file] "net.tethering.nonprovisioning=true" [once you find it change the true
to false] so it reads "net.tethering.nonprovisioning=false" NOTEDO NOT TYPE THE QUOTATION MARKS!!!
Step 6.) " look for line "persist.data.tethering_oc=1" change the variable 1 to 0 so it reads "persist.data.tethering_oc=0
Step 7.) move the build.prop file that you copied and edited from location you placed it in to its rightful spot in system/.change permissions to rw--r--r

Actually not.
Instead of trying to stop the thermal mitigation from working I did just the opposite, I changed the parameters on how it operates.
The file /system/etc/thermal-engine-8974.conf.
This file controls what happens to cpu speed at various temperatures.
That is what you tweak and it just works.
I also used ROM Toolbox to change the governor.

First of all, thanks for the post. Although I appreciate the helpful post, my phone is now stuck in boot loop . I hate to be the one to open up an old thread but I'm freaking out at the moment due to brick fever :crying: My current setup was a rooted LG G3 VS98512b. My goal was simple, I didn't want to do anything crazy, I just wanted to enable wifi tether now I'm afraid I've lost everything... Is there a way I can get back into the storage of my phone and delete the modified build.prop, remove the ".bak" from the original and be back to the good life? Any assistance is greatly appreciated, this seemed like such a simple modification that led to such a big headache.
It sounds like you might have used an editor on your build.prop that could not handle the file size, resulting in your editted build.prop being truncated. Otherwise, maybe your permissions were left wrong. Either of these will cause your phone to bootloop.

Thanks for the reply. I used the editor recommended in the tutorial, 920 text editor. I followed the instructions word for word, I don't know what the problem is. Maybe its because I have the newest update and this mod was for 10b???As far as the permissions, the phone asked automatically if I wanted to change the permissions. The original build.prop is still there... is there a way I can delete the modified build.prop and replace it with the original? I really wish I would not have followed this tut, it didn't seem like a popular method. There has to be a way to delete the modified build.prop right?

I really wish I would not have followed this tut, it didn't seem like a popular method. There has to be a way to delete the modified build.prop right?

Yes you can reflash the firmware or if you don;t want to restore to stock you can use ADB to fix the files and restore your .bak

Again, thank you for the response. Do you recommend a specific method or tutorial for trying restore the original build.prop? I did search however, because this scenario is so specific I'm not sure there is an exact solution to my problem.
Again, just in case someone else can chime in, I followed the instructions on the first post of this thread (see first post for detailed info). I copied the original build.prop then changed the name of the original build.prop, edited the copy, moved it to the original directory and restarted the phone. Now my phone doesn't make it to the Verizon screen (I think it is stuck in boot loop), the screen stays black and the small led on the left corner flashes blue and green. If I can just get access to the storage I can replace the modified build.prop with the original that is still in the same directory just renamed. It seems like such an easy task but, I just don't know how to go about it I'm a somewhat of an old school tinker, I'm just now getting back into the swing of Android... Thanks in advance!!
Bump
Bump please
This is crazy... I changed 2 values in build.prop for tethering and my phone wont boot now... I didnt install a ROM, change DPI, or make any major changes WTF???
Do you have a custom recovery (twrp)?
Can you connect to your phone with adb?
If you have twrp, search the board for the startup hardware key sequence to reach twrp, else from adb do a reboot recovery.
In twrp, you can select to mount system, then go to advanced - file manager. You can delete the bad build.prop, rename the good one, then set the permissions on the good one. If your good copy of build.prop is on a PC, put it on a flash drive, and use twrp's file manager to get it into your phone.
If you have a saved copy of build.prop on your PC, you can also use adb's push command. (You may also want to look at the adb shell command. The sequence might be to open a shell, delete the bad build. prop, get the right build.prop into the right directory, then chmod the right build.prop so it has the proper permissions.)
