Hi every body
Is anyone knows how to edit " build.prop " file in magisk root method ?
There's plenty of app that let you edit build.prop
I personally use root essential from play store cause it's easier to use, but you can use whatever file manager like ES manager or FX manager

Where can i find a file manager to actually allow editing of the data section?
I want to view and modify the actual files
Some apps don't show anything, others (like linda file manager ) just show the installed apps and give you the ability to remove them...
Thanks

I use estrongs file manager. You will to set root options in settings.

Astro File Manager here
Don't think it can do as much as the ones listed above, but it's good enough for my day-to-day demands.
hello
i rooted and installed ARHD for my galaxy nexus and it came with ES manager.
its a nice free file explorer and it can show system files and such, i granted it super permissions but i still cant delete that one file that lets me boot into CWM from the fastboot menu, so i have to flash CWM using my computer terminal everytime i want to use it.
any other free apps that can do the same thing ?

ES works fine for me... what file are you trying to delete?
And have you mounted system as read/write in ES Settings?
Hi,
I'm also using ES File Explorer with Android 4.0 SDK on emulator. I need to read the event0 file in /dev/input. When I try to open it with ES Note Editor, I get this error: Failed to open the file (java.io.IOException at com.estrongs.android.pop.app.h.run(Unknown source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:856)). The emulator is rooted, i also tried to enable Root Explorer in ES settings, it failed because this functionality is not supported for my phone? Also the mount file system option in ES settings is disabled.
Can anyone help me? Is the 4.0 platform the problem, should I use an older one? Or is something different the problem?
Thanks.
Editing build.prop without bootloop?
Whenever I change the screen dpi the system loops...
I tried changing to multi window in any application, loop again.
Someone to help?
What method are you using? There are apps like BuildProp Editor that keep things simple..
Alternatively, you can use ES File Explorer with its inbuilt editor.
You maybe getting boot loops depending on how you edit the build.prop which could affect the permissions.

I'm using the application x-plore and after editing the builp.prop I check that the permissions are correct, and when I restart loops.
permissions need to be set to 644 after editing.
Can anyone post a mini guide for build prop editor? I used it and ended up in a bootloop. How to set permission there? Can't find the option

Download ES file explorer
Enable root in ES
Go to build.prop, tap the menu and select edit
Edit whatever you want to, after you're done just go back, it will ask you if you wanna save, select yes and you're done. No need to set permissions.

I will try later ...
But I was with Xplore G3 and never had any problems.
It will not be because my bootloader is locked?
Edit: thank you, changed the dpi using apk device control
Usually ads in free app are very annoying on screen.
This time I tried to help for this problem.
I use it and it works without ads.
NOTE: Android specs already in Root
Download;
FX File Explorer
File Explorer (Root Add-On)
The file is in the attachment (Extract before it is installed)
How to install;
Open FX File Explorer >> System (Root) >> Root Access (OK) >> System >> ETC
Look for a file called "hosts" instead of the one in the attachment and Reboot.
Hopefully there is no problem with you and I also managed to this day.
-------II--------
Adaway uses the hosts file method as well and has good sources available.
Just remember to manually set storage permissions for the app if you try it and root access is required.
I also find Xprivacy to "block" internet connections of apps that do not need to be online to work as well. This requires xposed framework though
Excellent!!!!

You need to put ROOT in your title, and people should use the MOAAB host file:

Hi, I need to give read and write access to a couple little files in my root directory, but I can't find a file manager app that will do this. Among the ones I have tried are Root Explorer, which was recommended, and File Manager Root from Fdroid, but neither work. Can someone recommend an app or another way to do this? Thanks!

In modern android versions the /system partition is read only. Either you create an overlay with magisk, or you boot recovery. Twrp has a file manager or you use adb shell.
