no access to build.prop editor

for some reason, i cant seem to have access to build.prop editor. i mean SU app is already there but it has prob getting access to system. i flashed superuser 3.0.7 to get su access, but that doesnt work either. is there something im not getting?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] poorangus:
No!! Use Electron76's tethering mod .. it unlocks Android's built-in WiFi tethering and works perfectly with this ROM.

Or, the other thing. Either way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] poorangus:
Dude, it's a big phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Everytime i reboot my sd card it says checking for errors is this normal for ics roms this happen before when i flashed a different one ics rom

Bunch of FC getting apps installed, both restoring app only from TB and from market, restored to backup.

Backing up files on computer, and going to reflash and get her running, will try pulling external card and restoring all my apps, with it out.

Will update as I go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] arunp44:
Just a FYI for those of you who have been trying to restore from TB....i've found that if you set the option to restore to internal only, you dont get the FCs. Its under preferences -> restore to...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] griffindodd:
Funny side effect.

If you set custom resolutions for specific apps, their icons show at a different size in the Launcher (at least in Nova which is what I am currently using)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] poorangus:
Yes .. and the notifications. Happens in TW too. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jawain:
Well I flashed this Rom following the instructions in the OP and phone went crazy launcher kept fc and ancore fc made my phone unusable I don't know what the trick is I did not restore any apps threw TB they where all clean installs then when I downloaded XDA phone went nuts Im back on RC3 right now. Anyone have any tips or tricks they used to get this ROM to run smooth? Also I was running at 213 dpi if that makes a difference seen some people running at 320 dpi with no issues so idk. I know Dagr8 does awesome work so I must doing something wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] g2theno:
i would like to shrink the status bar in tablet mode. i tried editing a few lines in the hyb.prop and build.prop file and im getting no where. anyone point me in the right direction
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] digiabyss:
I had the same issue in tablet mode until I flashed the AOSP App Kit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Killemalll:
Just to be sure I understood, no app can be installed/moved on the extSD on RC4?? Or are you talking about TiBu restore?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jawain:
ok i flashed the inverted aosp kit is that why you think only the regular asop kit works?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kamycrs:
Can anyone from rc4 tell me whats the hyp.prop dpi for smemo? And whats is the code for it?(im in rc3 tablet mode wanting to fix smemo)

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigj225:
Yes. But u porbably need to clarify exactly what you want to do with it. The rom operates great in just normal phone mode
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] e30andrew:
Looks like it was Flipboard that was the culprit to my constant fc's.

it writes to the SD card under .android_secure.

installed it with the SD card out, and all is well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] digiabyss:
My bad. I flashed the Inverted App Kit as well. Initially when I first flashed the rom I was getting random FC's with almost everything. This was before I installed a single app. I rebooted to recovery and flashed the inverted aosp app kit and after that everything was butter. I used TB to restore a few apps then noticed FC's on certain apps which were installing to the extsd by default. After moving them to internal sd I haven't experienced a single FC. (Knock on Wood. Lol)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kikex76:
+1. I think Apex or Nova should be set by default
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DAGr8:
Wow.. Somuch for all the specific steps lol

Thx a ton

I have an idea to fix apps to sd..this will work on it later tonight
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
Had it installed since last night, so far so good. Been very careful what I download from the Play Store. Like I said if I download anything that saves to the external SD Card FC happen right away.

The only issue that bothers me I don't think is even the rom. In Apex launcher if you turn the phone horizontal the dock thinks that it moved to too but it stays on the side.. I can only swipe left and right not up and down. Nova launcher works fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] e30andrew:
wow, thats a strange one!

ive been using Apex since day one, and i have never seen that issue. portrait and landscape work as advertised...

what dpi are you at? did you set the apex dpi as well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pfd278:
All running smooth, with apps restored on internal SD.

Thanks for the info on TB toggle to internal SD, saved alot of work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] C0BRA01:
Have not been able to get either the original, or non-inverted to work with this. (I use exchange however, and it has been a pain all along.) On RC2 I got it working by flashing RC2, booting up, then rebooting into recovery, and installing the ASOP fix, and then installing the revert patch from another thread. It works fine other than the menus looking a little messed up from the partial theme done to the RC2 version of the ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kamycrs:
Anyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bataga:
Read all the instructions and have had no fc since moving apps off the sd. Installed all w/ data too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
214dpi

I cleared data on apex and its still doing the same thing.

How do you change the dpi on apex? I don't see a setting for that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] e30andrew:
ah, your in phone mode... i really havent messed with apex in phone mode much, especially at 214 your right on the border...

in hyb.props there is a line for Apex. by default its set to 260, so you may want to bump it down to 213 or 214.

hy.com.anddoes.dd= is the line your looking for.

edit it, save changes, and reboot.

Can we just replace it by doing a copy/paste from rc4 w/o aosp? Can we do the same with contacts?

Is there any way we can use TW widgets on apex, nova or any other customizable launcher? I miss TW Calendar widgets a lot.

has anyone tried to flash RC4 over rc 3 with just a cache and dalvik cache wipe?

trying to get RC4 working on its own has been way too difficult, so I was gonna try restoring my rc3 nand and then flash rc4 on top of it..anyone tried with success?

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
Yeah, not even sure how to do that. If its something really easy to do a PM would be awesome. I don't want to high-jack this thread. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xsamedgex24x:
no you really need a full wipe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
yeah, thats what I thought..

I'll wait until the next release; rc4 is a nightmare to get running properly, and RC3 works perfectly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xsamedgex24x:
you're kidding ? rc4 is a sweet baby pickels compared to rc3, everybody was having a lot of fcs. i am on rc4 since the first minutes it was released and it's more than perfect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
well, reading this thread, it seems like LOTS of folks are having issues with rc4; I tried to flash it twice, and, both times, it was FC city for me, once I started restoring my apps...

If this was the final release, I would take my time and reinstall everything one program at a time, but thats really time consuming, especially knowing another release will drop within the next few days.

This is the first rom that has given me problems when restoring my apps from TB, and, after reading tons of posts here, I am not alone with that issue..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xsamedgex24x:
i've started from scratch too because i knew it's gonna be a **** to restore everything. that's probably the difference and also people didnt read before flashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
yep, most folks don't read the full instruction so thats what causes problems..

like I said, if this was the final release, I would start from scratch, but, since its not, i will just enjoy RC3 for the time being..

is there a big difference between RC3 and RC4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
So....what's the deal with this upgrade? I'm kind of wondering the differences between rc1,2,3 and now 4. I'm still on 1 but was going to try 3 but was advised to wait for 4 for stability reasons. I'm getting ready to flash it and try it out but I keep reading posts from people with what seems to be the same or similar issues that people seemed to have on the others. Now I'm reading that some are going to wait for rc5...should I just stay on 1 and call it a day, I really would like to try the 4 but not if its not stable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ceoesquad:
i tried to install the apps from the market when i get half way done it fc everything and i can use the phone at all can u put a link up to rc3? rc4 is not working for me at all i tried to install 4 time and every time its the same thing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Hasher76:
once I got all of the DPI issues panned out, this is really running sweet, all that hard work is greatly appreciated.

I ended up running my apex at 180, same with the system UI. Really lets the screen fill in better imo.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] e30andrew:
The only FCing people are getting (for the most part) is when restoring apps to the SD card, or if you install apps from the market that save to the SD card by default.

if you take out your SD card, THEN restore/download your apps, they will all go to the phone. you can then pop your SD card back in, and be FC free!

I've been following you for a while now and i tried all of you rome but sadly i couldn't keep them on my note because i couldn't get the exchange part of the email to work and i depend on that part.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
I'm gonna try that in a bit; so basically copy and paste your TB directory onto the internal sd, then install the rom, and pull the external sd out, and restore tb backups from the internal..

Can you then move them to the external SD, or will that cause problem again?

Also, how do you get nova launcher to work properly? it seems like if you don't use Trebouchet, its lock up/FC city..

thanks for the suggestion!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
Yes, the majority of the issues stem around the sdcard which I read in the how to flash section. I just did an app no data tibu and selected internal SD like the instructions said, I also copied over a few apps from from external to internal in root explore (just as a safety net) my only consern is...will my nandroid backups still work, I believe the are located in a cwm folder located in my external SD? I tried to copy a backup I made today to my internal but it didn't seem to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
Just wondering because its on the top of my head, but in tablet mode is there a way to hide or allow other applications to overlay on top of the tablet bar? The reason why I ask is because tablet mode is awesome, but not when playing games such as emulators and dead space.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
It seems that there are a few hurdles to jump in order to get this version to work...all do respect but is it worth it? What's the big advantage rc1 vs rc4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] griffindodd:
ABSOLUTELY BADASS!!!!!!!!

Got everything installed and set properly in hyb.prop, this thing is the bomb-diddly, perfect hybrid functionality with phone apps big, bold and clear and tablet apps using split screen and ultra high resolution.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] poorangus:
You know what bugs me about systemui in tablet mode.. Is the way the auto-brightness checkbox is missing its right border. Display density and font changes don't seem to affect it. Anyone know a way to eliminate this annoyance?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SkipKelley:
Keyboard error

I've gotten things going, but when I apply the table mode flash, my keyboard is good at first then after about 15 minutes it's off the right of the screen.

Still getting fc for conctacts, but I can fix that.

Removing the external SD card/doing the settings fix allows for restoring with TI having no problems.

Will start all over again. PIA, but lots of fun playing with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] netsyd:
Make sure you only have one lcd_density in build.prop. Whatever your density is in build.prop -- the keyboards in hyb.prop NEED to match. Or you'll end up with keyboard weirdness like that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SkipKelley:
Thanks, I'll check it next time I reflash RC4. Had to drop back to RC3 for some work stuff.

Here's a report on my experience so far.

I upgraded from RC1.1 to RC4. I didn't even wipe dalvik or cache this time as it's a Full Wipe (living on the edge). When I installed 1.1 I formatted everything I could in Recovery. Restored my apps AND data from TiBU except launcher. While in TiBU moved all apps from External to Internal. Froze/Backed Up/Unistalled a ton of apps I don't use. Been running this way this morning without any FC. My only difference is that I am still running the default 320 dpi at the moment. Haven't tried playing with multi-dpi or tablet mode yet.

Great Success!

Not a fan of the inverted/dark apps. I like the white even if it does suck battery.

Also the calendar kept FC'ing on me on a RC4/Hybrid213.zip no AOSP.

MAPServiceSamsung slows things down. Freeze it

After a few false starts got RC4 fully functional. Removing SD Card during TiBu restore made the biggest difference.

Did find certain loading and transitions were running unusually slowly. Found that a service, MAPServiceSamsung, was running. Not sure why or where it came from. Had never seen it before.

Froze it in TiBu and everything got MUCH faster and smoother.

okay so fun stuff so far.

No fc so far but im still getting a fresh setup running so I will know more later.

2 questions though...

1. I am not having a lot of success with resizing widgets. Is there somewhere I should look for the names besides system/data? (scratch this one. A simple force close on the app and then restart didnt work on the widget, but a reboot did)

2. I am in tablet mode but getting a wicked wallpaper zoom. Ive used gallery, wallpaper wizardrii and quikpic and nothing changes it at all. It didnt happen on rc2 so im not sure what may have changed. Some dpi setting Im missing maybe?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] netsyd:
yup - not entirely sure what i was doing wrong, but with an entry in hyb.prop i can run it any any dpi i want - 192 all the way to 320.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
OK, I flashed rc4 and did what was asked and it flashed fine. The apps and suck were real big but I assume I could resize them or whatever. I than wanted to flash tablet mode so I downloaded the 213.zip and booted to recovery. I selected enable 213 and rebooted. My phone seemed to be in tab mode but everything was way bigger in size. I than went back and downloaded the 320zip and tried to go back since my keyboard was crazy out of wack, but I couldnt fine the zip...matter of fact, I couldn't even fine the 213 I downloaded before...the 213 I did use wasn't the one I downloaded a few weeks ago. Any who, I ended up using my back up back on rc1, can someone tell me how to install this ans set it up properly? My installation went fine before, only 1 fc...I just done know how to set it up so its function correctly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bon_joey:
One thing I'm stomp about is when it was fc'd all the time and tried to wipe data/factory reset on cwm it still does after rebooting. The only way to fix it is by doing nandroid or flash from the beggining.

This actually concerns me if I want to install an app off the market, how can I know if the app will or will not install in the ext sd card.
