I have absolutely no experience with that however, I did a search on Google and this thread popped up. All I searched for was "how to edit build.prop":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1236732
Anyone feel free to verify/correct me as I have never edited my build.prop before and I don't intend to. This is for anyone who may be looking for an answer. I won't say it is the answer as I've never done this before but hopefully this helps someone get on the proper train of thought.

if you're rooted try removing or renaming the phone.apk in /system/app. Make a copy of the ROM .zip to flag the original first in case something doesn't work ans definitely a backup in cwm. This should disable the activation nag and data phone capabilities. Not a good idea if you want to use it as a phone.

If you can't use your phone for text,data,and talking, you can disable it as it essentially disables the ROM's use of the cell's radio (wifi should still work).
Couple ways to do it:
1. remove the phone.apk from the zip and transfer new zip to sdcard and wipe system in recovery and re-flash rom.
2. Using root explorer or some kind of app that can write to /system, delete or rename the Phone.apk found in /system/app and reboot. If you get force close messages, just battery pull and boot the phone up again.
And, no there's no editing of the file itself just making the android system not able to find it. Not officially supported by devs to disable the radio but if you're having struggles to skip activation it is definitely worth a shot.

You're talking about the screen that comes up when you first turn the phone on after you first buy the phone?
There's a way to do it without changing the build.prop, I'll look for it. I actually did it when j first got my phone.
Some people have said if you tap the top left, top right, bottom right, and bottom left corners in that order it bypasses it.
It works for some, the way I did it involved dialing some **number and changing somethings to 0000000

Here I found a link to where it says how to tap the corners
http://www.androidcentral.com/bypass-activation-screen-your-android-device
And I found the way I was talking about when you call **778 and change the settings
1. Select emergency call and dial ##778.
2. Select edit and enter service password 000000.
3. Select NAM Settings.
4. Change Mobile Directory number to 0000000000 (Ten digits).
5. Change MIN1 to 0000000 (Seven digits).
6. Change Mobile Country Code to 000 (Three digits).
7. As you back out "Commit the Change".
8. The phone will auto reboot in 10 seconds.
#2 works permanently as I remember and it's pretty easy to do.

i used the command navigate to (Location)

i believe the alarm part does not work cause it depends on the clock from gs3

you should try the modded apk then cause not having any of those issues with that apk.

but u have to force install that apk file by coping it to system and changing permissions
that is to hard for some people

Es file explorer, super manager are easy to use not hard at all

if you want to post the file link to the other apk and detailed instructions i will add it to op

is the link in the OP the modded apk?

no

Hahaha couldn't help but laugh. Playya is right OPs are not responsible for what happens to your phone.

Should I revert back to the old build.prop before flashing a different rom?

[Sprint] How do you turn off automatic system update?

I am getting ready to root my SGS3, and so I went to update the latest PRL and stuff before doing it. When in the system update section, there is no longer an option (that I could find) to turn off Sprint pushed updates. I don't want to lose root or have to re-root every time Sprint pushes out an update.
Does anyone know how to turn it off? Am I just missing something really obvious? On Gingerbread, there was a select box for "allow automatic updating", but I don't see anything like that on ICS 4.0.4. (at least, not the Sprint ROM).
A little help?

You should be fine. On my epic touch, you would get an update notification and then you would have to accept or deny it.

If you open up Titanium Backup, there's an entry called System Update. I just froze that app. Let's see if that blocks the update.

This works for me, I kept disabling things till I found it and narrowed it down:
1. Install "system tuner" by 3c
2. Go to "Startups"
3. Scroll down to "google services framework" and tap it
4. UNCHECK anything to do with "SystemUpdateService"
update.systemupdateservice$secretcodereceiver

I changed my mind, my advice causes problems. Although this stops the update notification, it seems to keep the phone from sleeping once you get a notification. So your battery will be OK for a week or so.. and then all of a sudden your phone will not sleep. If you undo the above, then wait a few hours, you will see the update notification pop up. Then you can accept or decline it and your phone will then be back to normal (it won't burn through the battery.)

accept it and it should take you to recovery once you get to recovery it'll ask if you want to install unknown file do not go any further just reboot the phone and the notification will temporarily go away for while

Use rom toolbox to change build.Prop file to current build number. There are 6 or so entries. Reboot....

This will stop it with no problems
Download System tuner then select the startups menu option. Once in the startups sub menu go down to Google services framework and select it, do not un-check it just click on it and go into sub menu. Once your in un-check the update.systemupdateinstalldialog box and that should do it. only un-check that box.

Nothing like reviving an 8 month old thread . Good to know though, I've never tried it that way.

[Q] Sprint LG G2 Data Help

Hi All,
Status:
I managed 1) root the phones 2) copy over the standard "carrier" folder via root explorer 3) recopy the apns-xml file. 4) edit via adb the build.prop file.
With all these I am able to make calls and receive texts on the phone. But for the life, I cannot figure out the data problem.
I double checked my .prop file and have for sure set them to spr.
So my questions is
1) any quick ideas I can try?
2) how can i tell if AT&T or I am the issue
3) is there a custom rom which I can flash and it just "works"
4) is there a good place online where I Can sell these phones aside from craigslist?

Thanks a lot for the reply. I followed your instructions. Since I was using stock 4.4.2, there was some minor adjustments that came up.
0) I flashed stock firmware and via phone notification update to 4.4.2
1) I rooted the phone
6) Done and Done
7) Done ( I also tried via adb shell )
8) I could not manually edit the build.prop file. Each time I did, it would cause a stall on reboot, never gets to boot screen. So I had to do this
via adb I set the settings to spr
9) I use radio checker to set the exact same settings
10) do I need this step for data?

Lol
Sorry. I re read your suggession. Didnt see it. Lemme give it a try.

Latest HTC lockscreen update essentially soft bricked my phone.

Hi all,
The latest update has some issues- the OS boots and I am immediately presented with a system.ui has been stopped dialogue. I'm unable to open the app drawer, open an app, open the notification drop-down. The popup appears almost immediately after dismissing. I think the Testers really missed something here.......
I'm going to have to try and locate the previous version and hope I can install it through twrp.
Has anyone else seen this happen?

Not sure if HTC is to blame, or we...or you being still on marshmallow.
Next time please post in the viper thread, then I would have seen your post much earlier to debug your issue.

we found the issue.
run:
adb shell settings put system tweaks_hquicksettings Tweaks
..and it will be fixed. when you resetup your toggles, don't pick any of the two sync toggles.
I'll create a flashable zip to remove those soon.

read the info on our homepage.
Not sure who is to blame, htc or we.
You can install the update, with either the fix installed or the sync toggles removed.
or you dirty flash the fullrom on top, that way the sync toggles stay working.

I have this problem on my m8 as well. Unfortunately I was not able to solve this problem with your post. I cannot execute the adb command since adb is telling me that my device is offline (I booted into the OS with the screen going on and off).
I also flashed the zip file, but it didn't work out either. I am not sure which version of viper I have (I assume it's the 6.0.1), so I tried different zips but no success...
Could anyone tell me what I did wrong? I really don't want to do a full reset.

I also flashed the zip file, but it didn't work out either. I am not sure which version of viper I have (I assume it's the 6.0.1), so I tried different zips but no success...
Could anyone tell me what I did wrong? I really don't want to do a full reset.

another way would be to go to twrp->advanced->file manager
navigate to /data/app/ and delete the com.htc.lockscreen folder do the same in /data/data
boot up, then go back to recovery and flash the fullrom on top.
if nothing helps, you can do a twrp backup, then clean flash. Now you can restore your apps and data with titanium backup.

Been looking for a solution to this ! My gf phone had the exact same issue, dirty flashed and still no good etc.
I shall try the packages J posted. Thanks so much!
