Busybox DNS fix

You may or may not have noticed that busybox utilities that require DNS lookups aren't working (nslookup,traceroute,wget). Here is a simple fix:
I didn't find a resolv.conf so I added one and it started working.
adb remount
adb shell
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /system/etc/resolv.conf
8.8.8.8 is one of Google's public nameservers, you may want to add another for redundancy
Rerun the above echo but make sure to use >>

Thank you so much! I did check for resolv.conf, but since it didn't exist I figured it wasn't used on Android.
The weird part is wget used to work. Then one day it stopped ["bad address"]. So I manally specified /system/xbin/wget [instead of /system/bin/wget I think] and it worked! But then I guess I upgraded busybox or something and it stopped working again so I googled and found this post. Thanks again.
wget, I have missed you

Didn't work for me
Hi,
Your solution didn't work for me (Galaxy note ICS stock and rooted), even after rebooting the phone.
cat /system/etc/resolv.conf gives
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
nameserver 4.4.4.4
while ls -la /system/etc/resolv.conf gives the correct permissions
-rw-rw-rw- 1 0 0 57 Feb 17 04:34 /system/etc/resolv.conf
It's incredible that such a serious bug last for years!
Thanks,
L.

[GUIDE]How to get Play Music back!

OK, something that can happen when you install a custom rom that the music player has changed to "apollo" or something else.
So lets restore the old music app back!
Before we start remove all the thing you tried before please...
First thing you need to do is disable (or remove) the old music player.
So go to Setting --> Apps --> everything. And Click on the music player for disabling.

}
Now download the App.
Place it in the root of your nexus 7.
Brows with a file explorer (with root access) to "/SDCARD" and copy your file to "/SYSTEM/APP"Note: If you can not copy please make sure your system is mounted Read-write.
To make sure it is mounted RW do "adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" in your console.
Or if you use root explorer there is a small button with R/W that you can press.​
Fix your permissions RW--R--R
And Reboot.

And why can't one just install Google Music from the market?

This didn't work for me... I did everything and rebooted and it's not showing up in my app drawer.... any ideas?

Because not everybody lives in the UK or USA. In Belgium we don't have access to that application. And if i use a market-enabler the app does not work good.

? Strange Are you sure that you placed it in system/apps and that the permissions are correct. Normally you will get a message "Android is updating..." after reboot.

Edit ASUS ROG phone 3 build.prop file

How do I edit the build.prop file?
I can't seem to edit the build.prop file (located at /system_root/system/build.prop on android 10)
I can only pull the file using adb however, I am unable to push it to the device and adb gives error as read only.
How can I edit this file?
I saw a few methods using file explorers but they all seem old and not working.
One solution others posted was to pull the build.prop file using adb, make edits and flash it using magisk.
If so how to make a flashable build.prop file?
I wish to add the below two lines to the build.prop file and save it so it would help me to enable the apn settings
as the default apn settings are not working for me.
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL

There's no need to edit build.prop to set props (and there hasn't been for quite some time). You can do this with the MagiskHide Props module. No need to modify system at all.

You can also edit build.prop using franco kernel manager app

No, you can't, not on stock with dynamic partitions.

bencozzy said:
Have you tried it? I edited build.prop to add vowifi and it added vowifi settings after adding edits. So it does work but it's a systemless edit uninstall app and it goes away.
Click to expand...

Then you're not actually editing build.prop. So of course yes, you can modify anything systemlessly. But you cannot write to system, which is what I thought you were suggesting.

So here's what i did:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
I flashed and added those 2 lines to magisk props instead of build.props and rebooted device which didn't help.
How do i know?
I checked with these adb commands
adb shell getprop ril.sales_code
adb shell getprop ro.csc.sales_code
The results should output "LOL"
But it didnt so nope!
I am going to try this franco kernel method, as it seems promising! I appreciate your help, also hope future twrp would help us edit this file!

I guess adding those 2 lines as said by others didn't help me to get the '+' button to add the APN settings yet. Is there any other way to enable the APN settings manual config?

You won't ever be able to do this in TWRP. Please read the TWRP thread FAQ (Post 3) to understand why.

Android TV 13, blue screen after flashing GApps

Hey there!
Today I decided to turn an old Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB I had lying around into an Android TV box. I used this guide to install it, and it installed smoothly. There were no apps on it whatsoever, so I wanted to download the Play Store to download at least YouTube. After a bit of searching on the LineageOS website I came across a link to the Android TV 13 GApps (from here). I flashed them as the instructions stated on the website with the image, however after finishing the setup I get a (fairly nice) picture instead of a regular home screen. What gives?! If possible, I would prefer to stay on ATV 13.

Thanks in advance.
EDIT: same issue on adrod 12
EDIT 2: seems to be an issue with the new version of MindTheGapps for ATV. downloading an older version worked perfectly

I have that same problem, anyone has done this right?

see edit of original message

The method provided by TYK can solve this problem for you:
1. Download 7-Zip and Notepad++.
2. Open the MinTheGapps 13.0.0 .zip file with 7-Zip and drag out "update-binary".
3. Use Notepad++ to modify "update-binary" and confirm that it is in UNIX format.
4. Drag "update-binary" back into the .zip file (overwrite it).
Fix "update-binary":
Code:
...
ui_print "Copying files"
cp --preserve=a -r ./system/* "${SYSTEM_OUT}/"
if [ -n "$PRODUCT_BLOCK" ]; then
cp --preserve=a -r ./product/* /product
fi
if [ -n "$SYSTEM_EXT_BLOCK" ]; then
cp --preserve=a -r ./system_ext/* /system_ext
fi
##########
#Add:
##########
ui_print "Copying product files to ${SYSTEM_OUT}/product"
cp --preserve=a -r ./product/* "${SYSTEM_OUT}/product/"
ui_print "Copying system_ext files to ${SYSTEM_OUT}/system_ext"
cp --preserve=a -r ./system_ext/* "${SYSTEM_OUT}/system_ext/"
##########
rm -rf "${SYSTEM_OUT}/product/priv-app/TVLauncherNoGMS"
