I've got a phone that may or may not be totally frakked due to careless build.prop modding and have been asked to try and recover it without wiping, OS flashing, or any other methods that could potentially lead to a wipe. ADB is a no-go, but I've got CWM access. I've never needed to make a CWM-flashable *.zip before, so I never learned how. I'm crunched for time and could really just use a break. Could somebody please put this build.prop into a CWM-flashable *.zip for me?

I would be extremely grateful!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks! Worked a treat. Figured out why mine wasn't working too. Oh, and nice work on the script... LOL! Unfortunately though, I was the only one who saw it. I should have made him flash it himself. Thank you again! I'll take what time I have left to stress the importance of nandroid backups.... especially when you're a flashaholic. I don't know what ROM he was running, but the default build.prop I got from him wasn't stock. Thanks!

Don't mind me... just uploading my build.prop so that I can download it to my tab... stupid gmail and their no zip policy lol
I have tried to run this script in my Sony Ericsson Neo V because I havent found any similar script for my device.
It shows that the scripts runs correctly, but the phone don't start as normal.
I have wiped dalvik cache and the simple cache, but nothing changed.
How can I really know if the script runs correctly here?
PS: The scripts assert was enabled in the CWM and it worked, I have tried changing the build.prop you put in you zip for the build.prop in the backup I made.
Thanks you a lot.

Some people dont like their Call History and Text History combined into 1 big history log. This removes that so that each have their own logs.

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.
Fixed. Thanks http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14851129#post14851129
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.

When I did this a couple of days ago it didnt work on Odexed or Deodexed. I had to obtain the original one and deal with the sms showing in the call logs. One way around it (for now) is Im using the Go Dialer because it doesnt include SMS in the call log

OK I think it may have worked now. I deleted the "Logsprovider.odex" file in system/app and reboot once again and no more FC. I cleared out the logs and now waiting for a few calls and texts to see if the logs are fixed now.

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.

Hy people, i need someone help with superuser.
I want to integrate last version in my next rom but i fail to do that.
I know that kitchen is what i need to use, but i need help with that, i tryed and after i finish, rom failed to flash.
Dont use kitchen.
Which rom are you using and which kernel?
Take super user.apk and put it in /system/app
Then,take su bin file
Set perms for them in updater script..
Just refer the root package..
I am a potato, problem?

Vo-1 cm7 based rom.
It has outdated su app and binary.
Link to rom -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837056
Kernel it will be 22.07 firekernel, because it's the best in battery life (people want that, and me to)
I will try what Prawesome sayd, then will see.
Why do you need update su binary?
New su binaries are buggy.
Instead try Supersu. Download package from chainfire's original post. And place the files as mentioned by prawesome.
well as explained above u need to place superuser.apk in /system/app & su in /system/xbin and need to set permissions in updater-script as:
set_perm(0, 0, 04755, "/system/app/Superuser.apk");
set_perm(0, 0, 04755, "/system/xbin/su");
BUT
if older superuser.apk & its su binary is present in a kernel and it replaces it on /system at each boot, ramdisk in boot.img needs to be modified and newer files needed to be replaced !

Build.prop.bak is a file made by root explorer or any other file menageer, as backup of orginal build.prop. If you edit any txt file by root explorer, its make a *.txt.bak of this file.
