Hi – with any text editor I am getting “failure to save”. Could this possibly be because I am not operating as *root* ? Thanks very much!
Not really. If you’re not rooted then you shouldn’t even be able to open let alone see the build.prop file. Most likely the partition the build.prop file is on OR the file its self is set to “readonly” preventing you from saving changes.
