Guest Argonaut110 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Seeing some of my favourite apps being incompatible for The Cresent, I decided to find out a way around it. The way is to edit the boot.prop through ES File Explorer- however, this requires root access. All the forum posts I've seen seem to point towards 'unlocking' your phone. I followed one of these (Bouncer5's), right to the very end, and it worked. Booted up Fish N' chips, went to ES File Explorer, edited the build.prop, exit- wait, it won't save! I make a copy, edit it, save it, then try and replace the system one. "process denied"! So the device isn't rooted. But the guide said it would..Do I have to go somewhere once the process is done so it will be rooted? Idk- clueless after all the sucess with flashing ROMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OuahOuah Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Did you succeed installing Fish'n'chips ? So your phone is rooted. Try another file explorer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dodgetimmy Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 You need to use es file explorer's option: root explorer. Then you need to mount the current location you want to edit first. (Mount as r/w (read/write) ) then you will be able to edit the file. Btw I'm pretty sure what you're trying to achieve can be done by using a different market like aptoide that doesn't check compatibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish and Chips does work, so I guess my phone is rooted :D The Mount feature wasn't well documented in ES File explorer, but oh well- atleast it chops all that unlocking process out. Thanks!
