The size limits are #define PROP_NAME_MAX 32 #define PROP_VALUE_MAX 92 <http://git.omapzoom.org/?p=platform/system/core.git;a=blob;f=libcutils/properties.c;hb=refs/heads/p-froyo#l59>and You can increase the size limit in bionic http://git.omapzoom.org/?p=platform/bionic.git;a=blob;f=libc/include/sys/system_properties.h;hb=p-froyo#l38 On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 10:15 PM, Robert Greenwalt <[email protected]>wrote: > Do you mean you can change the value of an existing property but cannot > create a new one? > > That seems odd. > > What device/build? > > R > > > On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 3:36 AM, guru <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi Rober/Deva R >> >> If I comment some of the existing properties in system.prop I am able >> to set the value, otherwise not.
