The perma-temp root is exactly that.... Temporary. As soon as you reboot your phone, any changes made to /system automatically revert back. That is how it will be until such time as you obtain permanent root / s-off, because of the write protection on the phone.
Oh wow i feel stupid.

Don't feel bad. Run the revolutionary root method and all is well. Then you can uninstall anything you want. Rooting your phone is kind of freaky but a lot of fun. I click go and observe from across the room so that I don't hit a wrong key or disconned the phone from the computer.
Hmm will i lose data on my phone?

The Revolutionary tool will simply replace your locked bootloader with an unlocked one and allow you to flash a custom recovery, leaving your data partition untouched. After you have custom recovery, you just flash the superuser zip for full root. Again, no changes to your data partition.

So, I am unlocked, rooted, and have the unsecure kernel installed. I'm having trouble modifying my build.prop though. I've tried pushing a modified build.prop through ADB while in recovery, but the changes don't take. Any suggestions?
Never mind. Solved my own problem. Not sure which did the trick, but I mounted System in TWRP, pushed my file, and then did a CHMOD 755 from TWRP on the file... That worked. Yay!
What did you change in the build. prop?
I am trying to get google wallet to work.

I was only changing the LCD Density. But my difficulty was just in getting the file modifications to stick, so if all you are trying to do is make a change, the above method will make it stick.

Yes something with the phone won't allow to write to the system even with root. So mounting system in twrp is the only way until s-off.
Try deleting the current build.prop then push the new one. I've heard that works.

Did your LCD Density modifications work? If so, is this to make the resolution smaller on the screen? I hate how big the font and everything is even when the font is set to 'Small'
I'm also interested to hear if you were successfully able to modify the build.prop and change the density. I love this screen but it almost looks like an HDTV with a PC plugged in running at 648x480 resolution!

Yes, it worked. The precise steps are as follows:
Copy your build.prop to a location where you can edit it and locate the ro.sf.lcd_density entry. The default value is 480. I have mine set to 370. The lower the number, the smaller your text. Save this file to your computer.
Boot into Recovery.
Within Recovery, mount the System partition. In TWRP, this is under the "Mount" button.
Use ADB to push the modified file into the system partition. You don't need to delete the existing build.prop first. From you command prompt on your computer, this would be "adb push 'file path/name of modified file' /system/build.prop".
I don't know if this step is required, but I used TWRP's file manager to browse to the system\build.prop file, and then ran CHMOD 755 on it.
Reboot into Android, and the new changes should have taken effect.

No, and that's where I'm impressed with the latest Sense. It handles the adjustment much better than prior versions. It maintains its scaling in a lot of places despite my DPI changes - which preserves the integrity of its layout at the expense of taking advantage of the new DPI. And I'm okay with that, because it means I can keep the components I like without any "weird visual issues" and still use other apps that scale appropriately.
Had to bring it back up. I have changed my density, and I love it. but I noticed that not everything is scaled down. Is this the case for those of you that have successfully done this as well?
I have noticed that the htc messaging app, keyboard and the pulldown notification menu is not resize.
Also apps like the flashlight app in the CODIS rom is skewed as well as other apps.
Is this a problem that can be corrected or just have to deal with it?

At least for the messaging app you can just pinch to make it smaller.

Still cant write to build.prop
Anyone managed to write to build prop?
Why does it say unfortunately app n shortcut has stop...is that a bug..
So how can i edit the build prop if it doesn't seem to save it? I'm on this kernel and i think system is still not writing. Anyone got this working?? Please do tell us how?

I just changed it to Galaxy Nexus by using Root Explorer and it worked correctly.
Be sure you are on the latest kernel, as it is the only one that allows writing to /system while booted into android.

I can confirm that editing build prop does work and stick on reboot. Was able to make photosphere stop working and start working again as a test.
You may have to reboot one more time. After installing it I updated superuser and it had a read/write error. After rebooting it is fine.
And once again my phone hates any kernel that's out beside stock. I wonder what's the problem that my phone hasn't been able to run without freezing and rebooting

It's this s-off or a workaround?

According to the developer, neither. IDK, it seems like we can pretty much do anything now.
I posted a "stock" version. For those who cannot seem to run anything else without driving me nuts, um, I mean without problems. :laugh:

Most unlock methods do not keep us from writing to /system, this fixes that for us.

Let me preface this by saying that this might belong under Development, but I was unable to post it there (mods, feel free to move it). This is the same method I used to enable infinite scrolling on my other phones (S3, Note 2), as for some reason Verizon disables this quite useful feature. I haven't seen this posted before, but as I said before, the same method works for enabling infinite scrolling on phones such as the S3, Note 2. This enables continuous/infinite scrolling throughout your home screens and in the app drawer. Please hit thanks if this helped you.
First, you need root access and a file manager (I use Root Explorer, as I've found it works the best consistently)
-Open up your file manager, in this case it's Root Explorer
-Enable R/W at the top (cannot be R/O)
-Go to /system/csc/feature.xml (hold down on feature.xml and open in text editor)
-Scroll down to the end (on my phone, the line we are looking for was the third or fourth from the bottom)
-Find the line that looks like this:
<Cscfeature_Launcher_DisabledPageRotation>true</
-Change "true" to "false" (without quotes). It should now read:
<Cscfeature_Launcher_DisabledPageRotation>false</
-Save changes and reboot
-Profit
I didn't discover this original method; I simply discovered that it works on the S4. Enjoy!
Awesome! Works great
thanks!
Sweet! Finally something that should have been stock. Don't understand why verizon disable this
Thanks worked perfectly! My stock rooted with Wi-Fi toggle and Wi-Fi notification removed is running pretty nice now thanks to this which was a big concern too!

That's strange that it didn't stay when you saved it. You have full root and R/W access?

Just out of curiosity, what is the advantage to infinite scrolling? It seems to be something that every Dev has put in their custom roms.
Here's a stereo speaker mod (uses the earpiece as a "second speaker"), based off of work from ashirviskas and his G5 mod. I just made it compatible with the LG V20, which wasn't really all that different anyway.
Back up your original mixer_paths_tasha.xml in /system/etc/ then replace it with this one, set permissions, and reboot.
Stereo speaker MOD
Another great mod, thanks freebro!
Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk
This can "potentially" damage the earpiece at higher volumes, use caution
Since you've messed around with the V20's mixer paths and understand how they work, could I ask if you could try another mod? I was wondering if you knew how to boost and/or optimize the bottom speaker by modifying the mixer paths so that it sounds more clear, deeper, and louder like the G5 speaker was?
When I edit my mixer path files and try to save Im not able to don't know why and I'm rooted and all, anyone?

If you are using Root Explorer (it's what I use for GUI filesystem operations), when you are in the /system directory, at the top of the folder list will be a line of text showing you how much space has been used / available, the status of the folder (yours is probably R/O) and a button that says "Mount R/W". When you click that button, it will request root, and then you will be able to write to files in your /system and sub directories. Once you're done editing the file, before you reboot, make sure you go back to the /system root and click the button again which will now say "Mount R/O". Then proceed with the instructions from there.

You see I was using root browser for that and didnt have or didnt see this option. But I bought root explorer and I could do it, but now I have no sound at all weird. Maybe permission are wrong. all off or maybe something different

@freeza thank you for this and the boot animation mod. Any chance a Rom is possible? Followed your work / input on the note 7. I'm sure I'm one of many that are glad you have the V20 at least u til the note 8 arrives LOL.
