Updating build.prop: New Unlocked Features - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Once I updated my build.prop for the navigation install, I've found a new feature in my android.
When someone calls, I get a floating gray box over the incoming call dialog that prompts me to 'double-click to answer'
Has anyone found any other features?

i thought you uploaded the file or something

The build.prop file is the same one that came out of the Motorola Droid GSM dump.

if all you changed is the build.prop file....the functionality is already in android..
the build.prop is basically a configuration file. open it with notepad and see for yourself

market and youtube look different

DSPmanager.apk

hi guys,
first of all, i did not create this app so all props should go out to alankila from TeamVillain.
i really like what it does and the simplicity of it...it really makes a friggin' big difference to the sound
so therefore i want to share it with those not using FroydVillain ( i searched for it in market but could not find it )
Thanks just installed

Open up the zip and look for 'em in either data/app or system/app.
Enjoy!
Yeah, alankila made this.
Are you not missing the modified .so file? Or am I getting confused between things?

It works on Cronos Froyo 0.2.
open up command prompt (if on windows)
type :
cd\
cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools\ (or were ever your androidsdk is located)
adb install DSPManager.apk (if the .apk is in the tools directory of your Android SDK or if it is in downloads it would be
adb install C:\downloads\DSPManager.apk)
Click to expand...

Or you can put the apk in the root of your SD Card download Astro Filemanager go to your sdcard find the apk and install it.

eh..well..i dunno to be honest
i'm just a really simple-minded 'user' so i just extracted the *.apk from the zip-file and installed it with oi filemanager on my phone
i'm now running Cronos 0.2 and it works just fine so far...i really like what it does! so alankila, thnx! ...now my hero really rocks
i tried the same procedure with the cpuspeed.apk but that didn't work ( really liked that proggie as well! )
*when i close my eyes i start dreaming of a 'Feeyo/Villain' colaboration resulting in the best hero-rom everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....damn that would be something

@skedone .. you're using the new MMod-rom right?
you could ask [email protected] if he could get it work?
no gone back to VR12 till bug is sorted in mmod, and all i get is invalid parser of file or summmit along them lines
Is this built only for 2.2? Tried on Chronos 2.1.3 and get invalid parser error

Froyo only AFAIK, and I think it needs to be built into the ROM with a lib or two as well...
thx a million!

[Tweak] Remove the obnoxious mount/unmount notification sounds

Hi!
The annoying sounds of my internal/external SD mounting/unmounting whenever I rebooted or changed my usb settings were driving me crazy and I ran across this line in my build.prop
It was set to 1 so I changed the value to 0 and rebooted. The sweet sound of silence!
Find this string in your build.prop and change it to 0, or manually add the string if it isn't there:
persist.service.mount.playsnd=0
Then reboot and enjoy the silence!
For those who don't know, build.prop is located in the /system folder and can be easily edited with Root Explorer. Root Explorer will also automatically back up your original build.prop
*EDIT* NFHimself also let me know you should be able to enter "setprop persist.service.mount.playsnd 0" from adb or in android terminal to add the value. You will have to su first to have root access. Thanks for the info!
This mod is only enabled by default in Gladiatrix, so all credit for this mod goes to Ririal. I just shared it with you all.

I don't have it either (but will add per OP instructions). I wonder if Ken removed it in Gingerblur 3.5 in an attempt to stop the mount/dismount notifications. I know he thought he had the issue fixed.
I did it but the sounds persist.... Any help? It´s very annoying sound.
worked for me. Did you restart after? If so, you might try restarting again.

I am not sure what added it to mine to be honest. It was either Greyblur or the Cool Blue theme (which I think contains files from Gladiatrix).
Either way, credit goes to them for adding/discovering it to the build.prop in the first place. I am just passing the info along.
Yes, I rebooted twice and the sound still annoying!
EDIT: Wow! I´m so stupid! I put 0 in another line! Now it works! Really thanx!

Hehehe. Glad you got it working.
Worked great. Had to add the entry at the bottom using root explorer. That sound was getting to be annoying.
I'm rooted and sideloaded for now. That's it.

Yes unfortunately. You have to edit it yourself or flash a p-rom that already has it edited.
There is no easy on/off setting.

[Q] HELP ME PLEASE! how can I enable On-screen Keys ?

LG P880 cm10.1.3 stable
how can I enable On-screen Keys and navbar ?
I already tried to to add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" line to build.prop. No success here. Wont boot, not even go to the CM logo. Just black screen.
Any Ideas ?
Thx for your help
BTW,
the reason why I want to enable softkey and (if possible) disable the capacitive buttons is the following:
I have hugh fingers. And so often when I type I accidently hit the home button instead of the space bar. It is really annoying. However, I never had this issue with my old SGS and my GalaxyTab.
And another thing: Sometimes when I hit the upper end of the buttons, it fires the long click action, e.g. it goes directly to RecentApps instead of HOME.
There are actually plenty of tutorials all over XDA (general or software section).
Search for it.
If you want further help you have to tell us details about your current setup.
EDIT: Just to let you know,
I searched for 1 min and found 3 different ways. One last tip: don't use the XDA search but Google, way more reasonable outcome.
Sent from my LG-P880 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well, the problem seems to be limited to cm10.1.3.
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
works on cm11 nightlies just fine.
Well, thanks for mentioning google. Always helpful.
I still find no other ways than editing build.prop (or using apps that do that for you)

The qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 just means that your device has no hardware menu buttons.
Whether CM didn't set it so this will enable navigation bar or you did something wrong.
5 Mins of search also got me this build.prop line to add:
ro.show.navigationbar=1
Try it.

Same as qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 . Does not boot.
I guess i stick with cm11 nightlies then
but thanks anyway
how are you editing the build.prop?
many file editors give problems with boot after edit, the best option is to copy file, edit and then push to phone through adb
the quemu hw keys is universal on cm to tell if your phone has hw keys or not so it should not be causing problems
(also check if it is already present in the build.prop)
If still it isn't working and don't want to change rom you can always use xposed framework which has a few different modules for nav bar

ehhh .... i guess i stay with the nightlies ... they seem pretty usable as a dailydriver so far
ok, one last option is edit build.prop then flash
the command is correct, the bootloop is not normal that's why i'm insisting on this point

I forgot about the issues with win you are right.
OP you should edit build.prop with notepad++
open file with n++, add the line, highlight it and check that in the bottom right of the bar it says encoding "Unix"

[Q] Colored emojis on XV 4.3?

Hello friends!
Not sure it it's the right subforum to post this question, but I'll give it a try anyway.
So as you know the 4.3 software has automatically built in emojis, but they're unfortunately black&white, which very annoying on for examle snapchat, where your recipient gets a photo with these ugly b&w emojis.
So my question is actually if there's a way to change these emojis to those KK coloured or these ones from iOS. I'm rooted, and know i might get it if i install CM with 4.4, but i really won't install any ROMs right now. But is there any other way? Maybe modifying the system files or something, idk
I'm btw on Xperia V with stock 4.3 JB, FW:9.2.A.2.5

You just gotta replace AndroidEmoji.ttf in /system/fonts directory with a suitable emoji font file, like this one.
Just rename the file accordingly and move to system, then reboot. Done.

Need i also to change name from "AppleColorEmoji" to "AndroidEmoji" on the .ttf file, or just replace it as it appears?
Sounds damn easy, sure I can do it on just a rooted device with stock FW? Don't need any extra software?

[APP] [MOD] [COF8] Stock SMS App without waking up your screen

1. Please make backup / rename your "SecMms_Delight_Open.apk" first. Location: system/priv-app/SecMms_Delight_Open
2. Download attached modded "SecMms_Delight_Open.apk"
3. Replace the original apk and change permission to rw-r-r. Location: system/priv-app/SecMms_Delight_Open
4. Reboot, enjoy.
* There will be no setting to turn on/off the screen while receiving SMS. If you want to turn it back on, you need to restore back your original "SecMms_Delight_Open.apk".
* I mod the apk from @edgarf28 XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition v2.1. So it should include other mods such as disable SMS -> MMS auto conversion.
* Tested to be okay on my G920F. I'm not sure whether it will be working on other devices or ROM. Feel free to try and report back.
I am very interested in what this does. I have a vague idea based off this description but would like to know more before I root to enjoy this mod.
Thank you!
Maybe screen shot or something.
It looks like it disables the phone to wake up when an sms is received as normally the phone will wake up. Also by default longer SMS such as 3 parts it converts to mms but this one it will stay as sms.

Sir, I don't think any screenshot is needed. The interface is 100% the same as stock messaging app. I just made a small modification to ensure no screen wakeup while receiving SMS. No cosmetic change has been made at all.

I lied. Not csc, although I'm sure it is. I know I saw it somewhere. But this for sure works. Go to /data/data/com.android.mms/shared_prefs/
once in that folder, open up com.android.mms_preferences.xml
scroll down and find
<boolean name="pref_key_backlight" value="true" />
change true to false.
save, and reboot.
Nice cheers will do now
