If you own an Azpen A729 with Bluetooth, please Contact me or post here, I can provide detailed instructions on how you can help me. Thanks.
I've made a super mistake and accidentally deleted the build.prop file on an Azpen A729.
I was about to make a backup copy of it, but I deleted it instead.
I have no idea what will happen if I restart the tablet, and even less idea on how to recreate it.
help..
OK, so I ran 'getprop' on Terminal Emulator and managed to get all the information needed. Is there a basic template for Android 4.4.2? I found a basic one from 2.3.4. But I think it's missing a lot. The original one was pretty long.
Help...
The tablet did a reboot and now it's stuck at the start up logo. I'll contact customer service, Thanks everyone. Thread can be closed now.

Hi, please be patient with me as this is my first thread here. I looked around here and couldn't seem to find anything related to this.
I was looking around my phone using Astro File Manager to see if I could find the file that makes the phone show the Rogers splashscreen at startup. I found it and I was wondering if it would have any unwanted results if I removed it? I have rooted my phone and want to remove the Rogers boot animation so it only shows the SE ones.
If it won't hurt the phone, is there a way I can backup the file so that I can put it back if I need to send the phone in? I can't seem to find it in Titanium Backup, is there another way to do this? Can I copy it to my laptop?
Thank you for your help!!
Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832315
There's some information on how to edit the boot animation and the file/location of the animation.
If all you want is the SE animation and not a custom one, it'll be easier to ask someone with the Nordic or Global 2.1 firmware to copy it from their rom and email it to you then for you to edit the existing one.
Thanks! I already looked at that thread before making this one though and it didn't really answer the questions that I had. I might try the Nordic/Generic ROM option though.
It seems like it is fairly easy to just remove the .png with the Rogers screen on it. I'm just worried about not being able to restore it. Thanks for your suggestions!
EDIT: Found this thread and it has helped quite a bit. It's called X10 Boot Screen Collection. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748145&highlight=boot+animation
Hi there,
I upgraded my Galaxy 551 to Gingerbread 2.3.6. All went well. Unfortunately it seems to be a common side effect that the Z and Y keys (and some others) get swapped. The fix is apparently to modify the file /system/usr/keychars/sec_keypad.kcm.bin. The ideal thing is to put the old file from before the FW update back in, but of course I don't have that anymore! But the existing one can apparently be altered. If I can copy it to the SD card I can alter it in a hex editor and put it back.
So, I rooted my phone with that one click application, and that went OK too. I installed root explorer and found the file. There were also some others in the same folder I may be able to use. But, I cant make the folder R/W (pressing the button does nothing) so cant do anything with the file. I also tried Super Manager with no luck.
I am new to the phone fiddling stuff so noob level instructions would be appreciated!
Think I have it sorted. I installed superuser and then Root Explorer allowed me to select read/write. Now to try sort out this file!
OK, seems that you need to edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/sec_keypad.kl. Did that. DO'H now my keyboard doesn't work at all! Glad it saved a backup for me! Not sure what I did wrong, only edited two characters in a text file! Even the power button doesn't work. Got to pull that battery out LOL!
It seems when the file was saved it was saved with zero size. When I try to delete it to replace it with the backup it says cant delete, read only. So, not sure how I am meant to replace this and fix this problem.
Any ideas, remembering that I cant actually use any buttons on the phone!
I asked this in the general Q&A thread because I feel it is an android issue, not a Note issue...but alas no one even replied, trying it out here. Please help!

Hello all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note i717. I have installed a few ROM's, but recently I installed CM9 unofficial build. After it was installed, I noticed that my default.prop is only like 4 lines long. So I try and add stuff to it (I am rooted, and used RW mode in Root Explorer). I can close the file and save changes successfully, but when I reboot it is back to the way it was with the 4 lines. It is not only that though, any files i add to the "/" get deleted upon reboot.
Things I have tried:
ODIN to stock rom, still did not have a full default.prop
Tried many different ways to change file system (different programs)
Ran fix permissions in CWM and busybox installer script
All with no success. Is there anything else I can try to fix this and be able to edit my "/" and have changes take affect. Or has anyone had this issue before?
Thanks

I was wondering if anyone with an i717 could go into cwm, run a backup, and upload that somewhere so I can restore it. Keep in mind your personal data gets backed up also, so preferably someone with a fresh working install. I don't care what rom it is either.
Thanks for reading.
The default.prop should only be 4 lines..
Are you confusing it with the build.prop?
Wow well don't I feel stupid. That's exactly what it was. Thanks for helping me see the way!

Do you have a recovery flashed? Normaly under "Advanced" there is a File Manager with which you can rename the build.prop.bak to build.prop again.
Otherwise you can always flash another ROM.

nope, the last chance to get things working, was to flash the official image from the sd card...
Hi guys, before I start I'll say that I have searched all over the internet and here on the forums and I couldn't find my particular issue. Well the thing is that I edited the line in my build.prop "ro.build.version.codename=REL" to "ro.build.version.codename=L" so I could get the material design on the Google Now Launcher pulled from a Android L build here's the thread I got that app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-android-lollipop-apps-launcher-apps-t2912905
I did that and now my device will boot up normally then I will reboot by itself then show the boot animation then repeat the same process again and again until I force the phone to recovery or fastboot.
By the way my device is the LG Optimus G (E970) running GEE 3 ROM 1.2 and TRWP 2.6.3.0 and I have a backup of the original build.prop on my PC. I don't want to lose my data and apps since I forgot to make a backup (silly me).
I would like to know if there is a way to push the build.prop file on my PC to my phone so I could just replace it, or create a flashable zip.
Please help me, and thanks in advance.
Nevermind. I managed to push the original build.prop file to /system set the correct permissions and now my phone is working again.
