"I'm not required to disclose the details of any mod to you" - this might or might not be true as I'm not familiar with Open Source Licensing and you might be required to disclose. Regardless, you did not, that's part why you came across as not completely honest.

The fact that most developers (Jcase, Faux123, beaups, iKrYpToNiTe, just to name a few) DO disclose everything makes me thank that you might be required to do full disclosure.


"Either apply it, or don't." - I did not. I applied command provided by iKrYpToNiTe

If you are really that concerned about the build.prop being altered in a way that you feel the need to be worried, then simply compare your current build.prop to the modified one that topsnake has provided. It's that simple. No need to start arguments about what one person feels is better or safer or whatever else you think; I personally research anything that I do to my phone by tearing down apk's or batch files or whatever it might be that I'm applying to my phone to see what is being done. By doing this it also helps you learn how these exploits work and helps you learn more about your phone in general.

If you're not comfortable with changing files then don't do it. It's that simple.

Not calling any one particular person out in general, but there is so much of the same information continually being repeated that it is extremely frustrating. I'm to the point where I don't even try and help because I'm just repeating what I said a page or two back, or the post directly below.

Topsnake, thank you! For all you have done in the past and now.

Man were always losing the good ones. Topsanake tell me who it is that iI have to take out I'm from jersey plenty of landfills to dump a body in "wink wink". Seriously just tell the tools to get bent I have never seen a person on here do anything or post anything malicious were all trying to help one another. If someone gives you **** tell them to pound salt. I love this community but have non of the skills most of the guys here have in coding etc. So I try to help in other ways hell I sent topsnake my cell number to help him through the Chinese site. That is what this place is about you don't have to be a genius just help where you can and respect others. And for god sake read and search before posting.
