Yep, but my angry birds sometimes shows the menu's as white squares, and sometimes shows them correctly, so could not say it was the LCD Density that did it, more than likely just the game

copy the build.prop file into the same directory as you adb executable.


Is the exe called adb-windows I have in a folder on the pc the right adb?

hi i followed the instructions to add this new build.prop , I rooted first using z4root.1.3.0 , then followed the instructions to manually swap the build.prop for the updated one using the terminal emulator , now my file manager says that I have build.prop.old in my system folder , i can not get anything to work or install , I know ive screwed up somewhere along the line , im on firmware 1.1 if this helps , i have tried to install the update.zip using the standard recovery but it fails, can anyone help me to get this working with the new build.prop. ive tried everything , is there a way to flash the firmware using USB like you can on rockchip based tablets , any help is very very welcome

Hi Warpedflash, as you can see I have already installed your UPDATE.zip, is there any need for me to install your latest build.prop (3) or is it all covered in the UPDATE?

Your doing some excellent work here mate, thanks for everything.

Cheers, Warpedflash :D

I take it that i can use this command first to get a copy of the file on to the pc

"adb pull build.prop /system/build.prop"

without the quote marks?
