If that's the case, then it's a problem specific to the ROM. I haven't tried it on my TP2 but it worked flawlessly on my G1.

Lemme take a look once I get a second.

I tried Root Explorer and it workers . I use latest froyo build with lower incall volume kernel .

Can somebody tell me when I delete apps in system/apps folder I delete from data.img or from system.ext2 ?

Same here, I change my build.prop file or replace it and it gets overwritten.

Using the build.prop for protected apps but can't get it to stay.

I am using the latest BLAZEN build from PPCGEEKS/Reefer.

Being an Ext2 file instead of sqsh I figure this would have worked flawless.

I'd really like to download logmein, gbahours, paypal and a few other protected apps. I can't without fixing this build.prop file....

OR

Find some way to get a working fingerprint Google has already approved.

Glad to see I'm not the only one looking into this I have the same problem in my android OS - different phone, but same custom OS. Hopefully this thread won't die - if I ever figure it out I'll be sure to post here as well
