If I open my OnePlus One’s build.prop in a text viewer I see the following 2 lines:
ro.build.description=bacon-user 6.0.1 MHC19Q ZNH2KAS1KN release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=oneplus/bacon/A0001:6.0.1/MHC19Q/ZNH2KAS1KN:user/release-keys
However if I use
getprop from the terminal in TWRP 3.2.3-0 to pull these values (I was actually experimenting to see how I could edit build.prop within TWRP rather than adb) instead I get:
ro.build.description=bacon-user 5.1.1 LMY48B YOG4PAS1N0 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=oneplus/bacon/A0001:5.1.1/LMY48B/YOG4PAS1N0:user/release-keys
Can anyone explain this apparent disparity for me? I’m running denser’s latest build (2020.01.09) unrooted, I mounted the system partition in TWRP but only read-only so far.
Is it that
getprop doesn’t display values from the system/build.prop file? Would it be safe to use
setprop in TWRP’s terminal to change those values, or should I edit build.prop in a text editor instead?
Should I still try to change
ro.build.description &
ro.build.fingerprint given what
getprop returned (I’m experiencing the issue of some apps not updating via Play Store)?
I’m wondering if denser’s latest build(s) already changed the fingerprint, because I still have the issue of some apps not updating.
