Tweaks in Build.prop - Atrix 4G Android Development

In build.prop you can tweak a few things in gingerbread to modify certain things.
For 1080p recording go into root explorer and find build.prop under /system/ open in text edit and find ro.media.camcorder and change 720p to 1080p.
to enable hdmi mirroring find in the same file the line that says ro..hdmi.mirror.enable change false to true you have to have the apk installed and this will also interfere with entertainment center
note: reboot is required for these to take effect if anyone has anyother tweaks please reply.
Edit: sorry but you need to use root explorer!

This build.prop app can be used to tweak the setting as well. AFAIK this app will allow you to tweak the majority of the build.prop settings without using root explorer etc.

mot.proximity.delay=*

Another one to edit if you feel the need is wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=* <---This will help conserve battery with a higher value. Alien #1 is set to 90. I dont remember the default value. Increases the time between wifi signal scans. Saves battery!!!

Thanks guys this is great

I just removed app from superuser, uninstalled app. Re-installed app,upon launch it asked for superuser permission, allowed, tap Open*.prop file then tap /build.prop. That should gain you access, if not something isnt right.
Anyone else have this issue???

Im also having this issue (rooted with root explorer granted SU). Im not quite understanding your workaround. Did you uninstall root explorer entirely?
Also, I read somewhere that enabling 1080p doesn't increase the framerate, resulting in a quality of recording less impressive than 720p. Is that not the case here?

I reinstalled to see if it gave me the read only error that others are getting and for me after I allow superuser permission i have full access to build.prop. I personally use File expert. Its free and in the settings you can select root explorer and then choose the mount option. Let me turn off root explorer in file expert and see if i can get the RO message.\
*edit* No RO only message. Changed back to RO in file expert, un installed file expert, uninstalled build.prop editor, cleared data from superuser. reinstalled build.prop---asked for superuser-allowed-full access again. I dont have anything special on my atrix. Just running alien 1. I ran this on Froyo as well.

Edit: deleted incorrect info

Does anyone have the original logs provider apk cause this one ****s up the phone and makes it force close when you hang up a call and when you go into the logs then resets the radio.

Sorry but this did not work for me.
I got a bunch of FC and then I rebooted and everything was back to the way it was.
UPDATE: got it working now.. See below.
It did work for me. I placed it on my SD card then used Root Explorer to move it to my system/app folder (you have to have it set to read/write, thus you need root access), then let it overwrite the current version, rebooted, cleared my logs, and tested it, and it works for me. I'm on Deodexed, Rooted EF02 with busybox (no idea wtf busybox is). The op was updated and the download fixed at some point, not sure when, maybe you have the older version. I would suggest giving it another try.

Seems to be working great now! The only thing I did different was delete that odex file. I read some where that that's what worked for them.

PS All the old logs were still there until I deleted them, so at first it didn't look like it worked.

Hulu Plus for Android APK

I installed it on my Nexus One and then grabbed the APK with Titanium Backup. I can install it on my Xoom and run it, but it won't let me login, etc. because the device isn't supported. I thought I'd post it in case any of you know how to tinker with it to remove the device compatibility check.
They got hulu working in browser, Hope they can get this app working.
You would think netflix and hulu would have released a app for tablets by now. It would benefit on both partys as far as sales so why they havent yet is beyond me.... -_-

At a guess, because they're having to work with multiple vendors for hardware DRM because that's what the media holders require.
That, and JNI/C++/Android NDK developers with enough experience to do the necessary coding are extremely hard to find. We may be having to wait while each vendor ramps one of their developers up on the necessary technologies.

I think you misunderstood the post (and I'm sorry if you did). This was just to make it show up in the Market. This wouldn't make the app itself allow playback if you got the error message.
Some devices do work that aren't supported (for example my Nook Color running CM7) so it makes me think that there has to be some way to get around the check, but unfortunately, that's beyond my skill set.
That makes more sense and I misunderstood your post.

This method may be a little easier for you. I tested it and it seemed to work just fine.
Directions:
1. Delete Hulu Plus if you have it installed already.
2. Delete any backups you may have of it in Titanium Backup.
3. Get Titanium Backup if you don't already have it.
4. Download this file and unzip it, there will be 3 folders in it.
5. Place all 3 folders in the sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder
6. Launch Titanium Backup and restore the backup.
7. Enjoy?
And of course I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong and blah blah blah.
PLEASE NOTE: You can't use "Ad Free" or anything that modifies hosts for this, or the videos won't load.

It's nothing, the dev thought it was something it's not. And this phone probably already have this installed anyway.
Edit: I'm not sure, but I have a faint memory that it is game-profile related. Something the likes of it maybe clocks down the cpu if your running a simple game and maybe set the min freq higher on cpu-intensive games, to minimize lag.

APK doesn't work while it is in system/bin, it should be in system/app.
The same was on one x until HTC fix it.
So you have to move NvCPLSvc.apk from system/bin to system/app or just install update.

Not apply it by "install", you need to apply this fix by:
1. Ensure you are a SU enabled
2. Ensure you mount system mount point with READ WRITE permission
3. copy it to /system/app/
4. And delete all cache files in /data/dal-vikcache/
5. Reboot

[Q] Can;t delete or download anything

I recently downgraded my rom from cm10.1 to cm10 on my xperia t because cm10.1 made my phone get very hot and this fixed the issue, however now I cannot delete anything with root explorer and when I want to download a picture from the browser it immediately says download unsuccessful, Im not sure if the two are linked but I cant find any answers that work. I think it might be something to do with anti-piracy as there was something that stopped me from installing apks before though I could just disable that in app manager but this is quite different.
Make sure your directory isnt set to read only.
In root explorer there is a small button at the top reading either "Mount R/W" or "Mount R/O", it needs to read "Mount R/O".
If it doesnt press it to toggle between settings.

This is info from the other thread:

Sorry for the OT:
If you do want to change your navbar icons, you can use this:
SoftKeyZ ★ root - Janis Elfert
Ensure you make a full backup or that you have the necessary experience to recover from any potential issues that may come up after using the app.
Sometimes it causes a boot loop or your navbar may disappear.
Most of the times, it is solely because permissions are incorretly set for SystemUI.apk, set it to 644(-rwxr--r--) if that happens.
Let's move this to the thread you previously created to avoid going off topic here.

If something does go wrong and your phone doesn't reboot, reflash your backup.
If the navbar disappears, use a root explorer to set permissions on /system/app/SystemUI.apk
The permissions are:
user - rw
group - r
other - r

Yes. You however need to flash one of these to fix the back key being smaller than the rest.
This will reduce your navbar size though and you will have to flash the camera fix to enable the "picture effect" in camera.
