ICS build.prop

I installed the AllWinner Mod to see more apps in the market, it didn't really help a lot and I didn't back up my old build.prop (doh!)

Anyone got a build.prop I can use - or is there a better one to see more apps? If I tweak this file can I mess up my tablet because I was thinking of trying a few things myself.

Also am I right in thinking if I have adb running I can always restore a working build.prop in case of problems?

Thanks,

Check this out it will help http://androidcommander.com/
You can use the program to pull or push files to your Excel
Also, see attached build.prop, should be stock.

Thanks Suggsy, I've just done something weird to my Excel, I installed BusyBox and when I rebooted it looked like a factory reset had happened, and I can't download apps from the market. Just says downloading and never finishes. I think the sdcard got mounted read-only but I'm not sure. So what I'm trying to do is use LiveSuit to reflash your original ICS img but I can't get the vol+ trick to work to start Livesuit flashing, is there some special trick I'm missing?

Do you have the Google Android SDK and its platform-tools installed? You need adb and the drivers installed to be able to connect to your Excel.

Yes adb works. I just can't get livesuit to kick in at boot

Hmm those are the ones I am using. I'm probably just being a dork:

Hold down vol+ press power 6-10 times. Worked before but I can't get it to work now. Bugger!

Try holding "home" key then power 10 times

Tried various combinations of home/vol + and power and finally got it to work :) Thanks, man. Also got the original build.prop back as a side effect. Lost all apps though!
