I am running Android-x86 4.4 on VirtualBox. Everything works fine. But when I am modifying build.prop (with ES File Explorer or BuildProp Editor) with other manufacturer or model and save it. After reboot nothing happens. In About Tablet stores the old information.

Seems that android cache this info somewhere.

Any thoughts? How to force Android to update from build.prop

  • I've found that info about manufacturer, model (and other) Android takes not from build.prop, it uses /sys/class/dmi/id/, but I can't change anything in these files

I found that there are a lot of other build.prop, ex: build.(...).prop I deleted all except the last one and it works.
