Couldn't find the answer anywhere...

Does anyone know how to change the default 911 (or other recognized) emergency call number?

Thanks

they are saved in /system/build.prop file, usually at the very beginning.

Tried to get into that folder with no success.

Tried to copy it - but it will not allow me saying it's a read only...

Any idea of how to get into that folder and change the data?

read only files can be copied, probably you do something wrong.

through recovery mode. power off, power on while holding "back" button and get into recovery mode.

Too complicated for a novice like me...

Wish there was an easy way to do it via Paul's ROMs...

quite easy, actually. unpack the ROM image, change the file, zip it back and sign it.

the only non-obvious step is to sign the ROM, but once you've got necessary software (freely available from internet), it takes just a few seconds.

Hi again

I have unpacked the ROM package, got into the build.prop file, using text editor

Couldn't find the string "911" anywhere.... :D

Thanks

For me it's /system/etc/ecclist_for_mcc.conf (CyanogenMod 6)
