Build.prop

Hello,

sorry for disturbing, can you send me build.prop file for T2 Ultra Dual Sim?

I changed my file to swap internal/external storage, and i don't have backup.

I prepared a script to delete old build.prop file and copy new one through update.zip (CWM is working and i can install ZIP Files)

I just need a working build.prop.

Thanks in advance

-- Update
I got it to work, just put permissions to 644:
set_perm 0 0 0644 /system/build.prop

if anyone needs help i'd be glad to help.

Regards
Ralph Ghawi

In fact i didn't try it yet, i'm working hard on swapping internal and external Storage cause 8GB (4GB remaining) is aweful.

after that i will check all functions and compare speed (internal storage vs external Class 10)

do you have any other root mathod then this?

I unlocked the bootloader as explained here, everything feels the same...
about bravia engine, I don't care about it as much as i care for storage, and i didn't notice any difference. you'll only feel the difference if you keep comparing...

for me, i rooted, and I linked high storage stuff to SD Card, such as whatsapp media, games folders, movie downloader, calls recorder, and Download folder (using paid folder mount), now my internal storage is intact around (3.5 to 3.7 GB).

Songs and Camera can be set on SD Card without the Folder Mount app.

about the 1GB RAM it's not an issue, on KitKat 1GB will be more than enough.

if you have storage shortage or you need root apps to run on your phone just root it :)

-Admins, we need Xperia T2 Ultra Section please.

i suggest people not to unlock bootloader and wait for upated rooting kit from doomlord
after a dedicated forum is created for our devices
i will cook a nice custom rom

There is no exploit that currently works... I know of a dev who is working on exploit but it will be released only in August... You can wait till then if you want...

TA back up is not possible without root

and as we have to unlock bootloader to root ta back is currently not possible
at least untill or unless we get some script which can root phone without unlocking bootloader.

Correct, i thought i missed something i kept looking but i was stuck in a circle, i need to backup my TA before rooting, and i need root to backup my TA :)

yes i skipped TA Backup, all i lost is BE for pictures, for videos they say it works the same. but i believe it will be back for us in future updates as they enabled Track Id and BE for movies, there's no reason to keep BE for Pictures locked. even if not enabled in future updates i can live without it...

Woah! August! man thats a long time. Well, I am thinking of replacing my ageing Defy with this little baby. Seems nice with the IPS screen and all. Hope there is a dedicated section for this phone. Am going to have to read up on sony phones so that I don't brick it. Just wondering if the exploit will happen sooner. If I have to wait till august.... guess I can save enough for the Z ultra :p. Another question ....Does anyone actually know if Sony will release a Kitkat update for this phone? Or is it just some huey they are selling us.

    This is a CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.4.6 Touch Recovery for Xperia T2 Ultra!



    Credits and special thanks to Koush and everyone else involved in Cyanogenmod project!






    [ info ]

    This Recovery is built from CWM 6.0.4.6 sources!

    I dont have this device with me and I dont intend to buy one... a friend wanted root on his phone so I created this to help him out...

    all the testing was done remotely on users devices...




    @mods
    I know that there is no device specific forum for this so I have posted thread here in Z2 general section... please move it to the device sub-forum once its created...


    P.S: I know that some people think that its no big deal to have recovery/root on unlocked bootloader, and I do agree with that upto certain extent... but now that you have recovery/root you can do a LOT more... just unlocking bootloader wont give you anything!!! devs need to lay the foundations for further development... i have seen so many devices with unlockable bootloader and without root/recovery, but no one bothered to create recovery/root for those users...


    [ PROOF ]
