[SOLVED] How to change heapsize

Hi guys,
I've just installed CROMi-X and loving the Rom (even tempted to try CROMi-kk soon!), but I wanted to increase the heapsize on the ROM. I've installed the VM Heap Tool to try and do it from there, but after the reboot it mentions, it remains at 48m. I've tried 60m, 64m, 80m but nothing seems to change it from 48m.. anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?
EDIT: I can open the build.prop file and change it there, but it says I can't change it as it's a read-only file system even though I have root access. Any ideas?
EDIT 2: Needed to enable root settings in ES File Explorer and change mount settings to R/W: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948558
Cheers!

Changing Boot Animations

Anyone had any luck changing the boot animations? It has been a while since I've rooted and messed around with a phone, so I'm not up to date as to how/if this is possible nowadays.

You can goto root/product/etc/media and replace the bootanimation.zip to your desire boot animation. I have no problem in changing it. Make sure you change the permission to 644.

How do I change permission to 644?

You can use ES file explorer. Select the file. From the "three dot", choose "Properties". Click on change permission. On the permission grid. Check "Owner", "Group", and "Other" for Read. Check "Owner" for Write. Uncheck all others. Click "OK" then click "Cancel". If you do it correctly you should see -rw-r-r- next to the file. Remember you need to get out of the editing mode by click on the back key a few time , get out of the media folder and back in before you can see the change.

I changed the bootanimation.zip file both in systwm/media and product/etc/media, but the boot animation doesn't change. I set permissions on both files to 644. Anyone have any idea why I'm not having any luck?

Has anyone successfully managed to do this?

I have no issues placing the file in the correct path and changing permission to 644. However when booting the screen is just black. Tried different files with same, or slightly different but equally disappointing, result.
So, no need for general instructions on how to do this but rather proof of concept.
Thank you.

Help with read-only and /vendor

Hi!
I've been trying to boost my volume with changing values in mixer_volumes_FRD_ce with both solid explorer and with root browser. But I always get the same problem and the problem is that it says I can't do it in read-only mode but when I've booted into twrp I've deselected the mount system as read only. Another problem is that I can't change values in the under mixer path because it says I can't do it under /vendor... I'll gladly take any help or suggestions ... Stock rom btw

I don't know about the last part but if you are using some kind of system explorer you must enable r w (read write) in it.

I've tried to modify mixer paths in order to increase upper speaker volume (in my case awful sound compared to Oreo). Root explorer works for me, however I wasn't able to nivelate the difference in loudness.

Yes, but what do you really want?
If you want to add a custom ringtone, just put it in /sdcard/Ringtones

Worked great Thanks
