[Tutorial] How to change Build Number (((ROM NAME))) - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey guys from the help of my very good friend Azuzu I am creating a little tutorial on how to change the ROM Name or Build Number on your T989.
This might work on other devices but I have only tested it on the T989.
If you follow this guide you agree that you are doing thing on your own and you take full responsibility for any damage that may come to your device.
###################################
Prerequisites:
Rooted - With SU Permissions
RootExplorer is recommended for file browsing with SU permissions.
Android SDK Installed - Google how to install it
Samsung Drivers - Check other posts or just google them
USB Debugging Enabled
Notepad++
####################################
Once you have all the pre's done go to command prompt and type the follow:
adb pull system/build.prop
>It will save your build.prop and now find it and open it with Notepadd++
> Edit line 4 "ro.build.display.id="
Make it what ever u want it to be: ro.build.display.id=Name Ahhh
Then click save...
Mount your phone to the computer and place the build.prop in the sdcard.
Unount and open RootExplorer
Find the file and click and hold until you get to copy.
Copy it and put it in the system folder. If done right it should ask you to overwrite it.
Then go back to command prompt and do the following
adb shell
su
//You should be asked for permissions by your phone Hit allow
# mount -o,remount /system
# chmod 0755 /system/build.prop
# reboot
Dont put the hash or the space after it. Just the text.
Once you reboot go to about and you should see what ever name you changed it to.

Why would you want to do this unless you want to take credit for someone elses work? Just curious

stock ROM users like may.want to change their ROM name. Some may just want something different. Who said anything about taking credit for some one else`s work.
If you don't like it don't or agree with it then that's you.

And you know you can just edit build prop on your phone through root explorer?
Seems to be less hassle....

There's only 2 people that would do this, someone trying put their name on someone elses work OR someone wanting to lie to people into believing they're running something other than what's installed.

Thnks for the tut but wouldnt it be easier to edit the build.prop thru root explorer
Edit my bad for saying that twice didnt see dude above me^

I have stock rooted ROM. I have debloated the ROM myself. I have other tweaks that I'm doing. So tell me what am I stealing? Nothing.
So I renamed it to whatever I want. I also added my own boot screen and themed apps. So you are wrong. I am not stealing anyones work.

That is stealing...you did not build the rom...changing boot animation, uninstalling system apps and tweaking some settings are something everyone could do to any rom... i mean really, any end user could do those things... what kernel source did you compile?did you zip align or deoxed? Did you add bln support? No you just changed a few things and then put your name on it..and anyway you don't even see the info unless you manually go into settings and look it up so no one would see that unless you showed it to them which makes it look even worse.....why would it matter what it was called in the settings?

Does it matter if I change the dialer??? Absolutely not!
If you had bag with 5 coins and add 1 now you have a bag with 6 coins. Now lets see if the bags are different:
Bag 1 -
1 Bag
5 Coins
0.85LBS
Bag 2-
1 Bag
6 Coins
1.00LBS
So now tell me how these two bags are the same....Oh wait that's right they are not the same anymore.
Ok enough with the silly examples...
Now if you have, or maybe you do, a Honda Civic.
You add RIMs, Radio, New Air Intake, Tints, HIDs, and a new air freshener. And you remove about 100LBS of weight of the body.
Now is that car stock?
Drum rolls someone............................................
Answer = Nope....
So if you put DJIDK's JDM Ride on the back instead of Honda Civic, does that mean you are stealing the work of the Japanese who built the car????
I don't think so. That means you have customized your car to your liking and gave it a name you thought it deserved after you did a bit of changes.
SOooo Lets get back to the Samsung Galaxy S2 T989 - T-Mobile.... Just making sure you remember the phone exactly...Wouldn't wanna steal Samsungs hard work and call it the Sam 989 u know....
So if I want to change and flip the back cover and maybe put pink little hearts as my app icons, then call it Roketteere's Pinked out T9er that does not mean I am stealing anyone's work. Nor does it mean I want to take credit for anything...
If you didn't like my simple tut, which yes I know it can be done faster via rootexplorer.apk (Thanks 2 the 2 guys for the info), then don't read it and post anything negative about it. Unless I intentionally put something to tell everyone to rename all the ROMs and post them on XDA or whatever site as their own no one should be accusing me or anyone else who does this to be doing something wrong.
Well thanks to you my fingers now hurt from typing with a bit of anger...
I hope my keyboard is ok...Hmm :fingers-crossed:
Well Im done with that...Have a good night spirit fingers :silly:

It's not about stock or not you are changing the name...the coins are still not made by you so you would not call them David coins and the Honda civic is still a Honda civic..not made by you either..so you wouldn't call it a David civic...get it
Edit...I'm sure every dev on here would agree...and you still haven't answered me....what's so important about a name, no one is going to see?

If I feel like calling my Chevy Suburban, LoopDogg Suburban and get a custom chrome sign and replacing the suburban sign with it, who the F' cares. Anybody who see it will know the truth. If he would start a thread and claim it, then that will be an issue.

so you think his name is ahhh. There's a reason he put this in general, it's just a little theming is all. It may be pointless but the guy isn't claimingto have built anything and it isn't Rom specific. Name it peter juice or something.

Why keep it to myself. XDA is all about sharing and helping one another. So no I'm not going to keep this to myself. Like the other member said I'm not posting this to claim something that's not mine. I'm claiming to call my phone what ever I decide to call it and if you want to do the same then this is the tutorial for you. If not then move on.
It's like you wanna hijack a perfectly harmless thread and make it about something else then what it literally means. Are you going to bash me if my signature said "Sent from Roketteere's Cool iPad using TT H-Dee"
Is that stealing too?

HC-kTool ( a diamond in the rough )

Hi. Just thought that the app kTool by HellCat doesnt get enough attention. I honestly thought it was something that everyone has but have learned that a lot of people dont even know about it. Here are uses:
Dump current kernel for quick zImage backup,
flash a /sdcard/zImage immediately and seamlessly.
Backup/restore EFS.
Install (up to) .efs+modem.bin+zImage in homemade update.tar instantly
Verify efs backup integrity.
Reboot to system, recovery, or download mode.
Simple yet effective user interface. Very user friendly.
I have been using this app for several months. Hell, all year. Its fantastic. Ill post a link in a moment.
Im hoping threads THAT I ACTUALLY CREATE dont get deleted
Is that the same HellCat from the PSP Scene? If it is you guys have one hell of an asset there. Not that we are running short of good developers coming to Android.

Edit: i then realized after posting all that that my slack had been picked up,
Thanks.
Oh, I also heard nobody rocks a custom boot logo but me, =/ I hope thats not true, but if you need
Note:Will not work by itself on ICS, I didnt have it on GB so Im not sure on that..
Also by hellcat (not sure, Rain, probably. He's awesome)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hellcat.droiddev.sgs2bootlogo
Pick your desired boot or charge screen image, crop it to your size
Press "Set As (whichever...)" THEN
This app isnt programmed for ICS on our variant, but it gets the job half done.
You will now have a ".lfs.tmp" on "/sdcard." Make a copy of your desired boot logo called "gaudi_bootimage.jpg" and overwrite the one in ".lfs.tmp"
Now you simply remove the ".tmp" from the name and merge it with "/mnt/.lfs"
Enjoy, it took me a while to notice this little workaround.

Im going to assume you are not being facetious and answer,
There are two apps linked from here, unrelated other than the creator, but both are really usefull.
If you mean the boot logo, you wouldnt need the app if you figured out how the app makes .lfs all nice and tame... thats a mean, bad folder! Lol. Hope that was what you meant.

Navigate to the updater-script inside the META-INF folder. Open updater-script with something like Notepad++.
There you will find some ui_print("..") stuff or add/delete/edit some.
everything between the "" will be printed on the screen while installing.
Make sure you know what you're doing before stuff goes wrong...
Next time use the search function, you will find more answers than there will be posted in this thread, and nobody likes 200 copies of the same question.
also, guys, calm down.. Everyone has to start at the bottom, nobody is born with Android-knowledge.

Make sure you use Notepad ++ if windows is your dev system of choice , if you use notepad/wordpad windows changes the ANSI of the file so it's not readable under linux/android
What kinda rom you making ? is it a port ? or compiled from source ? any development is good development !
and to all the neh sayers everyone has to start somewhere , don't be hating because someone asks for help , lolz and the OP use the search facility and the good thing with android is most stuff isn't device specific so don't be afraid to search threads for other devices aswell on your quest for knowledge
Hit me up if you need a hand

Anyone else see this?

Agreed, I always thought his posts were so similar but avoided passing judgment without knowing, but that screenshot proves it. It wouldn't be so bad if he would just own up to it instead of lying.

+ a googleplex, this guy wants recognition without putting in work or recognizing anybody else's. He needs to stop pestering us and go get some psychological help.
So anyone know what happened to his "illusuon" ROM post? I was waiting for a mod but went to bed and when I woke up it was gone. I'm guessing he deleted it to avoid the ban hammer that was coming.
I was looking for it too. I think it should have been up so everybody can see it. It was a.nicr entertainmemt for a chance lol Lets just hope that he doesnt come back with another name.

Useless Build Prop Tweaks and Other Useless Tweaks!!!!

First of all I am not knocking anybody simply trying to figure out myself what really works on the SGH-T989 and what really doesn't. Digging into the inside if my phones files and other resources I discovered alot of things that everybody puts into their build props and int.d tweaks etc. don't really do anything. One source I found was here Pt.1 & Pt.2 http://www.jeffmixon.com/series/examining-build-prop-tweaks-for-android-ics-a-comprehensive-guide/ It's very interesting and this guy is a mobile software engineer so he's not just some jo-schmo talking crap. I found some like - ro.APP_ADJ=1 to lock home into memory ( only really works on GB roms), - profiler.force_disable_err_rpt=1 (only works on HTC devices),- profiler.disable_ulog=1 ( only works on HTC devices), - windowsmgr_max_events_per_sec= anything other than 90 doesn't do anything, - any net.tcp. buffersize tweaks - don't do anything as they are already baked into the init.rc file on the phone. These are just a few I discoverd tinkering around and from other sources through researching.
Other ones that bug me are the music tweaks such as af.resampler=255 or af.resampler=3? Which one really works some use 255 such as the AC!D mod and others such as KingBeatz say it's bogus use 3 instead. So who knows I could not tell the difference myself. Also the sampling rate = 48000 tweak to me it really doesn't work. Yeah you can run a logcat and it will say 99resampling done or whatever. But if you use a player like power amp or other players with the sampling rate visible at the bottom you will see it says 44.1khz . Why? Because in the audiopolicy.conf all the way at the bottom you will see it is set at 44100 sampling rate and if you try to change it to 48000 guess what happens your music player will stop working! So I think the tweak is useless.
A couple more before I go why does half of the roms out there have this in their audioeffects.conf "dolby-dsp.so" located in system/lib/soundfx? 80% of the roms that have this do not have any dolby-dsp.so in soundfx folder so it's pointless! The final one is audioeffectservice.apk on any rom I have ever used it is not installed for REAL!I it is just there for no reason it doesn't do anything. Logcat will say audioeffectservice.apk ignoring invalid files etc. and if you check all of your apps in titanium backup or even your settings app you will not find it. Any app that is actually installed if you click on it wil say something like replace or uninstall depends on what you are doing. Click on audioeffectservice,apk and it will ask you if you want to install it everytime. If it was actually on the phone and served a purpose it would say replace etc. I know I will hear arguments about this but this is just my own observations of stuff that is not needed or doesn't benefit the phone at all. Thanks for letting me put in my two cents for today!
Good post..but next time write in paragraph instead of a writing a wall of text..
I'm quite impressed with your effort in looking in to this subject. I don't do much tweaking myself, however, I agree with you that having any unnecessary code/tweaks (in this case within the build.prop) doesn't benefit the phone and just adds clutter.
Maybe it's also because I'm the type of guy who admits to the classic case of form follows function, ahaha.
I also agree with what qwerty123321, it was an eye-sore to read the post. Perhaps separating your finds into bullet points would help devs/others who will be reading this.

First of all it's "you're". Your is possessive. Fix your grammar or turn on your auto correct.
Second, what part of this thread provides useful information? The only people this information would be useful to are developers.. and since they're DEVELOPERS, you can bet that they already know this information. If not you would have seen devs chime in, but that hasn't happened has it?
Not all these tweaks are useless and it depends on the phone you use them with. We already use build prop tweaks that actually benefit this phone so in turn this thread is absolutely useless.
Also thanks for mentioning that I'm incredible. I'm glad you realize this. Enjoy banging your head against that wall, idiot.

Yes we do have tweaks that do work on this phone. That's the key THIS phone. The tweaks I mentioned do not benefit this phone much at all. Maybe others not the SGH-T989.

Bravia Engine is useless too if you don't have a compatible device.
You'll find that also includes apps to the system apps folder which aren't installed at all.
Those who promotes that kind of apps should search more information before saying that are compatible with all ROMS and devices as well.

[MOD]MA5 4-in-1 Reboot Deodexed

Ok guys like I said this is for deodexed ma5 roms. This mod was a pain in the #.^&*@$#%^&*% &**^%$#@## &^%$$%^^^ ****&& there was a lot of reworking the original code from clark44's original how to post. And I did not want to just cut and paste the changed code from joshbeach's lk8 version of this because well I wanted to prove to myself that I can do this stuff lol. anyways I am proud of this one so enjoy guys

Seriously I need to be more organized I swear lol. I often wonder if other developers are as unorganized as me, or if just the recognized developers from xda are organized lol. anyways good to go.
Don't sweat Organizational crap Dwebb..Do what you do, how you do..It's Phenomenal results anyways
Another successful Unorganized Dwebb Mod

Hey danweb66, Do you think that it is or is it possible for you to make a zip or something of the sort to add more toggles? ie data, airplane mode ect ect. That is the only thing I really miss from LJC other than I havnt figured out how to get my allshare dongle working again.

I can't speak for all the xda devs but I have been programming for 12+ years and let me tell you my file structures become a mess in a hurry. I am constantly deleting doubles and triples of files in different directories . One thing that keeps me sane is keeping my code neat and properly formatted.
Good work on this it is always a good learning experience to port mods from scratch but can be a PITA.
Than you for the mod. Very nice work and handy.
File this under "cool story bro", but... have to laugh at myself after installing this. Of course, I want to see what changed, so when I long-pressed to close and saw the few menu items, I was kinda disappointed. Then I hit the Restart option and saw "what the fuss is about". LOL.
At first, I was like "Dude.?!" Then I was all like, "Duuuuuuude". :good:

Submenus are added when powering down. IIRC, the screen used to give options for "Shut Down, Reboot, and something else", along with volume options. Now, when reboot is selected, a second option window pops up and asks which reboot option you want (see attached).
Hallelujah for the Reboot Recovery option!

Nice. Thank you.
"Exactly what it says 4 in 1 reboot menu" is exactly meaningless by itself. This however is an actual answer to a question.

Does quick reboot not work with this? Everything but that seems to work for me.
