FAQs
What is the build.prop file?
The “build.prop” file is a system file that exists on every Android device. The file contains build information and other system properties which are used throughout the operating system.
System properties are string key-value pairs. You can create or modify a system property in the build.prop file which will be loaded when your device first boots.
The file is located at /system/build.prop. The build.prop file allows single line comments that start with a ‘#’ character.
What is a system property?
System properties are small name value pairs managed by Android’s property service. All system properties are loaded at boot. You can get the value of any system property without root access. You need to have root access to modify or create a system property.
What are some common build.prop tweaks?
Some common system properties include:
ro.sf.lcd_density: controls the device density.
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay: the number of milliseconds between ring notifications.
persist.adb.notify: flag to show/hide the ADB debugging notification.
lockscreen.rot_override: flag to enable/disable rotating the device when the screen is locked

I've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how adding the "net.tether.noprovisioning" line to my build.prop could break my camera and flashlight functionality. I've finally figured it out! This tool was saving the permissions incorrectly, rending the camera app unable to read the build.prop, causing major system hangups. Try another editor until this one is working properly again or find a way to modify the build.prop permissions to 0644 after saving with this app.

The app installed OK, and I was able to successfully edit and save the ro.build.type file in order to get Multi-Windows mode in Developer Options of my Lenovo K3 Note running Marshmallow 6.0. The problem is that the multi-window is enabled, the black window icon appears superimposed above the lock icon on apps in the Task Manager. So I inadvertently end up locking the app instead of getting it in another window. How to disable the lock icon ? Can someone please help ?

after editing with this tool, build.prop was set to chmod 0600 instead of chmod 0644 like it's supposed to be, making it unreadable as a normal user and causing issues with some apps

I was able to edit my build.properties whereas others I tried just hung. Advertising is a bit intrusive, but I understand the developers need to make money.

I have pro versions from the top developers and this is the only one that shows every part of the build. Ex - my radio does not shut down in airplane mode and this is the only editor that it shows in.

Pretty nice app but I warn anyone of using it as it is VERY easy to corrupt your system files with this, so DO NOT install it unless you know how to flash system files...

Love interface. ZTE Grand x Max 2 (not rooted) has no lag. I would like to see no root required like most people do. I'm trying to add soft keys (on-screen buttons) onto my phone. Also I tried to change android software to 7.1.1 (nougat).
