With this module you can easily set that up by adding whatever prop you want removed to the "Delete props" list. Be very careful when using this option, since removing the wrong prop may cause isses with your device. See ["Device issues because of the module"](https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/MagiskHide-Props-Config#device-issues-because-of-the-module) below if this happens. +### My build.prop doesn't change after removing a prop value +Magisk doesn't alter the build.prop file when removing a prop value, it simply prevents the prop to load instead of removing it from build.prop. If you want to check if the prop has been removed use the `getprop` command in a terminal emulator to check. Example: +``` +getprop ro.build.fingerprint +``` +If the prop has been removed, the command should return nothing. + ## Prop script settings There are a couple of persistent options that you can set for the `props` script. These are currently "Boot stage", "Script colours" and "Fingerprints list check". The options are found under "Script settings" when running the `props` script. The settings menu can also be opened by using the -s option (use -h for details).
