I couldn't read the build.prop file because it needs root. I used the app getprop to do get build.prop and it messed up.

Is it just the app that is not working? Does it crash?
Also, I don't think M gives you enough space to do anything on the system partition. ....And unless you have a custom kernel that removed /system r/w protection, you also won't be able to modify anything.
So Further to the question above, if the app does not crash;
How much free space do you have on System?
What kernel are you using? Link to thread.
Looks like it is working using the lastest JDX rom. So it might have been the system partition as you suspected. I also able to use adaway and change the dpi which was not working before. Thanks!

Can a link to this rom be provided?
What exactly is it thats preventing fonts from being installed...?
Would a kernel fix it

Yes, as long as the kernel is removing r/w protection. I know there was a special version of Elemental X 3.00 but that is not posted in post 1 of the thread. I am not sure of the newer versions include that or not.
JDX is a stock based rom in the android development forum which presumably has the modded kernel.
Sweet thanks, I'll have a look

To solve the low brightness , go to TWRP folder, open .twrps file, fine the 255 value and change it to 4095. this is a left over from the Redmi Note 4 import.
Error when uses

Yes you need to make the brightness changes via the file. It would keep that way.
Look for this line:
tw_brightness_pct
If you can change it code wise it would be best of course.

Since Android 8.0, Google has implemented Treble which allows for easier Android system upgrades by separating the system and vendor parts.
So on systems that are trebleized, there is a /system/build.prop which contain generic properties and /vendor/build.prop which contains device-specific properties.
This may or may not be the case with the Note 9. If it ships with 8.0 it probably doesn't but if it ships with 8.1 or 9 it most likely does.

Help Building Oreo Custom Rom for A6 Plus 2018 ( A605FN ) !!!

Hello guys. I'm trying to build custom rom based on stock rom using assayed kitchen. i prepared the files of stock firmware so they can be readed from kitchen. everything looks good but i have only one problem.
the app extracts the files, but i get the error FAILED TO GET [file_contexts]... I found file_contexts.bin into the fota.zip archive. but i dont know how to convert it to file_contexts text and then where to place it so the app can read it.
can anyone with more knowledge help with this?? thank you in advance!!

You can run Linux in a VM such as VIRTUAL BOX or VMWARE.
You could also use WSL, but personally have never used it.

Congratulations!! you'll find a way to make it faster.even with some tweakings to kernel.

i also have a plan to make custom and also my first mod deal with oreo, deodexed already booted and so far so good. the only problem is really laggy at the begining but more u use/open apps, restart and so on..the lag become decrease and now "almost" as normal/odexed speed..
for making custom rom i gez no different with previous android..find the right tool to deodex, then edit desired apk with desired mod then pack it
I was trying to build also a custom ROM with Assayed Kitchen , but same problem with context bin file .
Even with the stock firmware , with TWRP installed and rooted with magisk 18.0 , the first 3 or 4 boot takes longer , but i think there is something inside the new Oreo firmware which recognize that you delete some applications , and after few reboots , the phone is very fast and battery keeps more than 40-46 hours ... which for me it is a very satisfied,
I used Assayed Kitchen for SM-J730GM... SM-T585 ..SM-T560...SM-G900F ...SM-J710FN , and made for myself very fast and battery friendly ROM"S , but i will keep digging to find a way to build one for SM-A605FN ...
I will let you know if i will find something new .
And if you are willing to try a modified mixer_paths.xml in order to have a very nice and loud sound on speakers and Bluetooth i will attached for you .
You need to added in " / vendor / etc " folder and give 644 permission .
Please let me know your opinion , so maybe we can share it after !!!:good::good::good:

Every time i make a custom rom and i deodex it,it says already deodexed next to each file. I wonder why?
I believe now we need someone to make a custom kernel with tweeks for battery and performance. 3500 battery and we could make it last much longer. I believe this is a must right now.

I copyied your file to the directory you mentioned. There was already a file with the same name there. I suppose yours has some changes though i didn't notice anything in the sound. After the restart google services show error once in a while.... then i installed viper4android fx from magics modules. After restart my sim signal was lost. V4a showed at apps.i can open it but the driver wont work.i removed it and sim signal came back!! So we still need to make some tests till we find a working v4a....
I was wondering why you got the google service error and viper , so i doubled verify and the file should be in "/vendor/ etc" not in "/system/ / vendor / etc " . And i did modify very carefully each value from original 84 value to 90 in most cases and from 81 to 85 in some headphone values ...
I really apologize for the mistake i did regarding the place of the file where to add it .
You can try again to see if you see any difference .
You have attached some pictures about the place and modifications ..

Unfortunately that's one of the caveats of modifying the device.
It breaks system integrity and causes issues with the keystore.
