I have absolutely no experience with that however, I did a search on Google and this thread popped up. All I searched for was "how to edit build.prop":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1236732
Anyone feel free to verify/correct me as I have never edited my build.prop before and I don't intend to. This is for anyone who may be looking for an answer. I won't say it is the answer as I've never done this before but hopefully this helps someone get on the proper train of thought.

if you're rooted try removing or renaming the phone.apk in /system/app. Make a copy of the ROM .zip to flag the original first in case something doesn't work ans definitely a backup in cwm. This should disable the activation nag and data phone capabilities. Not a good idea if you want to use it as a phone.

If you can't use your phone for text,data,and talking, you can disable it as it essentially disables the ROM's use of the cell's radio (wifi should still work).
Couple ways to do it:
1. remove the phone.apk from the zip and transfer new zip to sdcard and wipe system in recovery and re-flash rom.
2. Using root explorer or some kind of app that can write to /system, delete or rename the Phone.apk found in /system/app and reboot. If you get force close messages, just battery pull and boot the phone up again.
And, no there's no editing of the file itself just making the android system not able to find it. Not officially supported by devs to disable the radio but if you're having struggles to skip activation it is definitely worth a shot.

You're talking about the screen that comes up when you first turn the phone on after you first buy the phone?
There's a way to do it without changing the build.prop, I'll look for it. I actually did it when j first got my phone.
Some people have said if you tap the top left, top right, bottom right, and bottom left corners in that order it bypasses it.
It works for some, the way I did it involved dialing some **number and changing somethings to 0000000

Here I found a link to where it says how to tap the corners
http://www.androidcentral.com/bypass-activation-screen-your-android-device
And I found the way I was talking about when you call **778 and change the settings
1. Select emergency call and dial ##778.
2. Select edit and enter service password 000000.
3. Select NAM Settings.
4. Change Mobile Directory number to 0000000000 (Ten digits).
5. Change MIN1 to 0000000 (Seven digits).
6. Change Mobile Country Code to 000 (Three digits).
7. As you back out "Commit the Change".
8. The phone will auto reboot in 10 seconds.
#2 works permanently as I remember and it's pretty easy to do.

[Q] Wifi Calling doesn't work on CM7.1 either

The app keeps force closing after I updated to 7.1. More specifically, Wifi Calling works normally, but if I use LCD Density (220) it force closes. How can I fix this?

The build.prop edit did not work? Or the other suggestion above your last post?
If you want to try to edit the build.prop, open your file manager and navigate to /system folder. Scroll down to build.prop.
Long press > Open As > Text
Change this:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.brand=htc_wwe
To this:
ro.product.model=T-Mobile G2
ro.product.brand=tmobile
If I misunderstood and you've already tried this, then please disregard.
No, you understood me correctly. I checked the other thread and downloaded ES File Explorer and did what I was told. My build.prop files now contains all the changes that you told me to make, yet my WIFI Calling is still force closing. Any ideas from here??

Logcat please! Wifi calling should work perfectly out of the box on CM7.
I will provide you that once I get back home to my system that has ADB and everything else. For the time being, I don't know if you can find out the problem with this error message.
"The application Wi-Fi Calling (process com.android.kineto) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

ctrl+c when you're done capturing data. this will dump the logcat into 'logcat.txt'. paste it into www.pastebin.com and reply back with the link.
just for kicks, i'd recommend redownloading the CM7.1 package and reflashing it. don't wipe anything, just flash it right over top of your current setup. (it's also always advised to check the md5 key to ensure your download isn't corrupt)
Ok, so I reflashed it without wiping anything and that didn't fix my problem. I'm wiping cache, fixing permissions, and reflashing the ROM now just to double check. If that doesn't work, I'll post my logcat.

changing LCD density can cause lot of weird issue for some apps, this only happens when you change the LCD density correct?
Have you tried doing a full Superwipe+ and fresh install of CM7.1? Wifi calling has worked flawlessly for me since CM7 (with 200 density, if the changing the density seems to break stuff).
You can always do a full backup with CWM and revert to your current state if it doesn't fix it.

This isn't a bad idea. Just make sure you use the SuperwipeG2+ext4 located here so that you don't lose your 4 ext partitions. This assumes you're already converted to ext 4. If not, I recommend it. It consolidates internal memory space and has been said to improve speed (slightly).
By wiping, I will lose my data on my phone, right? I don't wish to do that, because I don't like putting things back into place (icons on homescreen, widgets, etc.). Anyway I can remove the WIFI calling app and have someone upload the app for me to reinstall?
Yes, this only happens when I change LCD Density. By messing around with the build.prop file, I can now change my LCD Density WITHOUT using the LCD Density app, but still doesn't fix the problem. Wifi Calling works when I'm at the default 240 but I'm too accustomed to 220 nowadays. It worked just fine in previous CM.
And I have no clue in regards to that whole 4 ext things?

you should try the modded apk then cause not having any of those issues with that apk.
but u have to force install that apk file by coping it to system and changing permissions
that is to hard for some people
Es file explorer, super manager are easy to use not hard at all
if you want to post the file link to the other apk and detailed instructions i will add it to op
is the link in the OP the modded apk?

Hahaha couldn't help but laugh. Playya is right OPs are not responsible for what happens to your phone.
Should I revert back to the old build.prop before flashing a different rom?

[GUIDE] How to get a working Google Wallet

First this is a guide from the Verizon Note 2 forums, for those who don't know about it.
All Credit to WarlockLord, ogdobber, and tpmwr, and everyone else involved in this.
Visit the original thread here
Follow these steps, I have done this 3 times already and every time it works, IF you follow these steps.
I HIGHLY suggest using root explorer for this
1. Download the attached zip file, you must extract it, and place everything in their respective folders, backup your current files, rename with .bak on the end, paste the files in their respective folders from the zip. Set the correct permissions as the other files in the folder. Under the "Read" check, owner, group, others. Under "Write", check owner, and press ok.
2. Next, navigate to your build.prop in your /system and edit it to mirror the Galaxy Nexus.
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
3. Reboot
4. Open your app drawer, find the wallet app, from there, set it up, it will say Setting up this will take 5 minutes, you WILL get a force close.
5. From this point navigate to your /system/app and delete the wallet app.
6. Reboot.
7 Open the play store, download wallet, now set everything up, and add a card, once you have registered a card, it will say the app needs to reset. Reset it, and wait. Once you get back to the screen where you can select your account, close the app.
8. Navigate to your /data/app and delete the wallet.apk in there. DO NOT UN-INSTALL IT!!, This is crutial, ONLY DELETE IT
9. Now head back to your downloaded files from this post and paste the modaco R87 wallet apk back into your /system/app, and set the correct permissions, under the "Read" check, owner, group, others. Under "Write", check owner, and press ok.
10. Reboot.
11. Now open wallet again from the app drawer and set everything up. It should proceed with no errors if you did everything correct.
12. Once setup, reboot again and open the app again to make sure its still working, and your cards are still there.
13. If its still working, you can now change your build.prop back to
ro.product.model=SGH-I317 or SGH-I317M(which ever variant you have)
ro.product.name=t0lteatt
ro.product.device=t0lteatt
If you do not change your build.prop back to stock values, it wll probably break SNote
14. Save the build.prop and exit.
15. Profit.
Everything you need to know is in this post, if its not working, you didn't do something correctly, or you missed a step.

I was one of those who tested this out for warlocklord. Weird thing is, I re-did everything last night again just to see(going back to stock) without all those steps. I used the flashable zip(r87), replaced the build prop warlocklord uploaded when he first started it(attached). I load up wallet without crashing, everything loads and then I place back the original build.prop.

Yea I did the same, you already had the folder in your data with saved stuff is why it worked.
However that is the verizon build.prop - I dont suggest people using it. Won't hurt, but verizon likes to block app's from the makret.

Yeah, I finally gathered my courage and backed out. I finished everything and now my wallet seems to be working. Time to give it a go at a store!
Is this something that would be able to be cooked into a rom- a working version of Wallet, or would this procedure have to be done after every flash?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I originally used the original link that you posted. Those directions were a bit lacking so I ended up using the GS3 thread in combination with the original GN2 thread. It said to remove the APK. I was like, what APK, I am starting new, i don't ahve anything installed. So I assumed this person started off using the GS3 thread. So I went to the GS3 thread and flash modaco patched r87 and the GS3 NFC fix (I know, that was mistake). I then removed the APK. Then changed my build.prop. I installed the legit APK from play store. Then I opened it and activated my cards. It claimed that the app would restart on it's own, but it never did. I then just deleted the APK and then moved the modaco patched r87 into the system/app directory. Everything appeared to go well. I tried to make a payment and got a declined message at a 7-11. I then tried it at a CVS and but this time the NFC didn't even register. I then realized, I had the wrong NFC fix. So I flashed the NOTE2 NFC fix and was able to make my first successful wallet payment. Well everything ended up well so I'm happy. It seems that your directions are a little bit clearer than he original. Good luck to everyone else. I feel a little uncomfortable because my method was little dirty cuz I flashed the GS3 NFC fix first by accident. Once the new Cleanrom comes out with the multiwindow, I will try this process again from scratch and hopefully get a cleaner install.

[Request] Secret Flag Modified Google Search Apk

Question is, can someone modify the apk as below???
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-enable-voice-prompt-in-search-results-video/
Turns out, there's a secret flag within Search that lets you use the hotword, set by default to 'Google,' anywhere in search results instead of just the home Activity. By default, Search will let you say "Google" to activate voice input only in the main Search screen, after which you'd have to tap the Back button in order to use it again. It's nice, but it's not very fluid, as you have to keep touching your device.
The secret flag enables it in search results, so you can perform search after search after search without ever touching your phone or tablet.
As for the technical details, the flag is located in res/values/bools and is called hotword_from_results. To activate it, one would flip it from false to true, like so:
<bool name="hotword_from_results">true</bool>

I decompiled, made the above changes, recompiled with no errors, and got it to install but it force closes every time i try to open it. Maybe someone else can provide some insight. I used AutoAPKTool to make the edits
Cans someone resolve this? I'd do it myself but having tons of trouble getting my device to show on adb (after many tries, different methods)
I tried to make an Xposed module to patch it on the fly, but it is not working:
Code:
resparam.res.setReplacement("com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox", "boolean", "hotword_from_results", true);
upon starting the module, I get "Resource$NotFoundException", I tried other forms of the setReplacement method but none worked. I am still new to Xposed, so maybe I am doing this in a wrong way, attached are the sources of the Eclipse project in case someone can make it work.
If someone have the source of google now apk i can do something

I just modded this and got it running w/o issue.
I'm on CM 10.2 so I had to do some adjusting as there was an update installed to /data/app, with the original in /system/app.
I just uninstalled the update via the Play Store, and then moved the original (for CM it's QuickSearchBox.apk to QuickSearchBox.apk.bak), and adb pushed the newly modded apk (attached), to /system/app.
After doing all that, BOOM goes the dynamite.
Works for me, YMMV.

Any way to do this without using ADB? (Having tons of trouble getting my SGS3 to be recognized). Tried installing the apk by itself but the installation fails.

Are you rooted? I needed to make this a system app, as mentioned, to avoid signature conflicts, etc.
If so, I can make a zip to install to /system/app for you. I don't think it will work (as you have discovered), if you try and install as a standard app to /data/app, which is what clicking the download link and attempting to install is doing.

Please make a flashable zip, would love to try it

OK. So I didn't have any files in data/app so I went ahead and just made quixksearchbox a .bak, and pushed new one after renaming it and setting permissions. Its working great.
I'm on PA

Here's a flashable zip. Though, because it has to place the APK in the /system/ folder (partition), the zip (out of the box), is only likely to work on the Nexus 4, since mount points are going to differ by phone. Any other phone you'll have to modify the script.
As mentioned previously, if you want to try and flash, FIRST, be sure to uninstall 'Google Search' from the play store.
Since I don't think there is a way to move a file in edify, and I'm too lazy to include a shell script to run a move command, I instead delete QuickSearchBox.apk if it is in your /system/app/ folder (instead of backing it up if you want to restore later), and then copy over qs.apk (the modded version).
I restored to original, ran the above process on CM 10.2, and got the results expected / desired (i.e. the attached zip is confirmed working in my setup).
It works on PA 3.99. However you'll need to set voice to US English or it won't work.

Would be nice if this could be activated with any language.
Is it possible by changing any other flag?

Visual Voicemail

OK, so this may not even be the result of running a custom rom because it hasn't worked with any of them. When I click on Voicemail which isn't setup yet by the way, all it does is send me to my messaging app. It gives me no options to set it up, or check voicemail.

I removed the Visual Voicemail application. It can be added back.
The icon for Visual Voice mail is tied to the Messaging app.
I need to edit the messaging app to rid that icon. for now just use the feature to "hide" it in the app drawer.
of it you want the app, pull it outta the bloat.zip
Okay, thanks
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
OK, so I downloaded the bloat zip and extracted the vvm.apk it gives me the install option but says install failed every time. Any ideas?

are you using my empty flashable.zip..?
just pull vvm.apk and put in system/app
Once I get my phone back, and or you have S-OFF this won't be an issue.
Aroma will solve a lot of these types of issues as well.
Okay, I put it in place of the null file in the app folder in your flashable zip and after re zipping it it failed when flashing

Don't unzip then rezip. Use a tool like 7zip and drop it into the zip. It failed because by unzipping, you broke the signature

exactly what Ty said.
I am expecting my phone back today, and my first project is Aroma..
so bare with me.. (not you Ty)
I will be getting the ROM to where I am comfortable with calling it a full non beta release.
Only reason it's beta is because I don't have Aroma set up yet, once that is set up, it's game on.
you will be able to re-flash the ROM.zip pick "MOD only" and then select JUST the .apk you want (NO you can't remove apps, use root explorer for that, I think S-OFF takes away write protection but I have no idea yet, if not, then, well, we will need to get used to that .zip that deletes files (it's quite easy, once you try it out and everything)

I forgot to come back and post a thank you, it worked great after I placed the apk into the zip and flashed. By the way, I've run every rom available now for the phone and keep coming back to yours, I appreciate your work.

Have you had any luck ridding the VVM icon and whatever else from the messaging app yet. I had a nasty issue related to the new VVM.
I will spell it out here in case anyone else has this issue.
So i like always update my phone when updates come out.
The new VVM has some addition network elements tied to it on the back-end.
Long story short this 443 update has created randomly dropping my mobile connection. I tried re flashing the radios, the stock rom, going back one radio version, etc. I mentioned this in a post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one/help/wifi-bluetooth-mobile-data-wont-off-t2883253
I don't believe it is anything we have done in here, but the issue was with exclusively mobile data where it would disconnect but still show 4g, anyways back to the VVM
I had to revert to 442 stock rom as it didn't have the disconnecting issue
Since i already ran the newest 443 VVM app with those additional features, the 442 VVM fails with error code 2004 when on a 442 ROM
So i had to be coy when calling VZW to get them to reset this. Lucky they didn't ask SW/HW versions, so basically they had ' reset the network elements ' associated with the newest version. WORKED!
So if this happens to you , all i said was it came down as an update, i didn't like it, and reverted back and now it does not work, etc.... I tried to find the newest update again but cant find it.
I was wondering how the VVM icon still there after removing the APK, that answers that. I tried to load the newest VVM on 442, and epic fail lolz
Just providing some info for everyone

Foolish me, this is so very simple, I just forgot that you have to do it on a 100% clean flash, you can't use a flashable.zip as it is an .xml system edit.
system/customize/resource/allapplication.xml
basically you edit this .xml just search for "voicemail"
you will find this line of code
Code:
<item type="application" packageName="com.htc.sense.mms" className="com.htc.sense.mms.ui.VoiceMailTabActivity" display_order="200" display_hide="[B][COLOR="Red"]0[/COLOR][/B]" />
change it to
Code:
<item type="application" packageName="com.htc.sense.mms" className="com.htc.sense.mms.ui.VoiceMailTabActivity" display_order="200" display_hide="[B][COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR][/B]" />
to be quite honest though to save yourself A LOT of time, just hit the menu button in app drawer click hide apps and hide it, that is what this MOD does anyway...
