Privacy Guard Notifications - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am on CM11 nightlies for SGS4 mini. Can you disable Privacy Guard notifications as the icon/notification is very annoying and persistent. It only goes if phone is rebooted. Will be back again if app with revoked permissions is launched again. Thanks.

Hi not sure if you solved this, here is solution that worked for me:
1. Copy framework-res.apk from system/framework folder (keep a backup for any case).
2. Open apk with Zarchiver (pick option View), and look for icon stat_notify_privacy_guard.png.
3. Delete icon, and let Zarchiver to save the file.
4. Overwrite the original framework-res file, and correct permissions (I use Aroma Explorer in revovery for all sensitive file ops).
Cheers

Thanks mate, had to install the modded framework-res.apk by unzipping the original rom and re flashing but worked all the same thanks a bunch for taking the time to write that it would have drove me insane haha.

[MOD] No Increasing Ringtone + HOW to ! - At&t S3

Hey guys !
I made a quick NoIncRing MOD, I figured while i was at it i would explain how to create the MOD.
I would like to Thank criskelo for his ZIP :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700174
I don't own an S3 but i did have the mod checked by an owner (works), i don't know what rom's it will work on so make a backup (as i said in the instructions).
How to Flash :
1. make sure you phone has a CWM recovery
2. backup SecPhone.apk and Secphone.odex (for odex rom's)
3. download the zip and place it in your internal SD
4. flash using, install zip from sd - choose zip from sd card
Download :
http://www.mediafire.com/?l8hox702d2t3m9y - Fixed
*the fix replaces SecPhone.apk with SecPhone_ATT.apk and erases the correct odex file.
I'll be happy to make Mod's for Any ROM you want. Simply attach the SecPhone.apk application from System/app
HOW TO ?
1. extract Secphone.apk from your phone/rom - system/app
2. download baksmali.jar and smali.jar from : http://code.google.com/p/smali/
3. extract classes.dex from SecPhone.apk
4. Put the classes.dex in to a folder alon with smali.jar and backsmali.jar then open a COMMAND window and navigate to the folder.
5. enter the following command :
java -Xmx512m -jar baksmali.jar -a 15 classes.dex
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. You will now have an OUT folder, inside find : Ringer$1.smali
7. Look for 2 lines containing :
setstreamvolume
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Erase them (one is at the middle and one at the end)
9. now go back to your folder with classes.dex, OUT folder and smali.jar and erase classes.dex (VERY IMPORTANT !!)
10. In the command window enter :
java -Xmx512m -jar smali.jar out -a 15 -o classes.dex
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
11. Now you will have a new classes.dex , drag it back in to your SecPhone.apk and in to my ZIP.
12. Flash and enjoy
Finally able to get rid of the increasing ringtone. Great mod!
3. extract classes.dex from SecPhone.apk
I don't see "classes.dex" when extracting SecPhone.apk. Something i'm missing?
I also attached my apk in case you can help me shortcut this a bit
Thanks
Or...do I just flash the zip via CWM and the rest of the instructions are just how to create the mod?

There is a little difference in ATT, I think this should be mentioned in OP. In AT&T ROM, phone application
is in /system/app, but the name is a little different: SecPhone_ATT.apk.
So both files SecPhone_ATT.apk and SecPhone_ATT.odex should be backed up before replacing from the zip file.
After zip file is written from CWM, just go in /system/app, mount it in RW mode, using Root explorer, and do the following:
rename SecPhone_ATT.apk to SecPhone_ATT.save
rename SecPhone_ATT.odex to SecPhone_ATT.odex.save
rename new file (created by the zip you just wrote) SecPhone.apk to SecPhone_ATT.apk
Reboot
I just did - it works, thanks for non-increasing ringtone that was driving me crazy. I want my neighbours in the office to start enjoying my mostly annoying ringtone immediately when somebody calls me

Thanks got it working, I never found an odex file the first time I did it, after your post I went back to the dir and all i had was Secphone_ATT.apk and Secphone.apk so i renamed the Secphone_ATT.apk to .save and it works.

Not sure if it's a weird coincidence or what, but I did exactly this ^ and upon reboot, AudioGuru stopped allowing me to change my audio profiles (Normal, Work, Sleep, etc.) As soon as I restored the original SecPhone_ATT.apk and .odex then rebooted, AudioGuru started working again.
You guys are right !
I didn't know its SecPhone_ATT.apk
Ill change the main download !

Mod for U.S. Cellular SecPhone.apk
Hey yoelsd,
Thank you for offering this! Can you please mod my SecPhone.apk? This is for the S3 stock rom on U.S. Cellular. Many thanks!!!
since mines is a Bell S3 and OP is MIA i just extracted SecPhone_ATT.apk from OP zip file and renamed to SecPhone.apk then used root explorer deleted SecPhone.odex and overwrite and restarted and its working perfectly.
I have hated the increase ringing since the SGS (i9000), Sammy should make that an option.
Hope this helps all my non AT&T S3 buddies.
edit, nm, got my versions mixed up

Any idea if this will work on the new AT&T JellyBean that was just released? Or would we have to rebuild it using the files on our phone? Would your steps still work on JB?
I've been using the following app to disable increasing ringtones and it seems to work ok:

AMoLED BLUE Theme for PA Rom. Phone.apk fix

I recently was running the Amoled Blue theme for Paronoid Android and found out that there was a issue with the Phone.apk. the issue I was having was that when I received a phone call, I was not able to answer since the answer and ignore buttons were bunched up.
The fix is you need to use a file explorer (I use the one from Rom Toolbox) navigate to system -> app -> find and delete the Phone.apk.
Next go to SDCard -> Download -> look for the original Paronoid Android zip folder. Click on it. Go to system ->app -> click on Phone.apk. and then Extract. Take note to where your file explorer stores the apk file (mine made a Extracted folder) look for the Phone.apk. Copy the folder and then paste the Phone.apk into the system folder of your current rom (which should be the AMoLED BLUE Theme) then to the app folder and paste it.
Last you have to fix permissions and set them to rw-r--r--. There you go. Problem fixed.
This worked for me. Hope this helps.
can you attach the phone.apk here ? :highfive:

Hey sorry for the late reply. There is the phone.apk file. All you have to do is download it and edit the permissions to rw-r--r-- and place into the system/app folder. I have taken a screenshot so you can see how to set the permissions. Hope this helps

I can help you out halfway. To change the boot animation, download one that you would like, browse to system/media from root explorer or another file explorer and replace the old one with the one you downloaded and reboot

Explained here, but it may not work right with files that have already been modified. They might not decompile correctly, I'd check with Tim before changing anything though, he'll let you know if it's workable.

I have already made a mod for the carrier labels in the fi27 update. The new carrier label says team rejectz. If you would like to make your own carrier label(s) for fh23 for your own personal use, here's how...
What you will need:
-Pc/laptop updated with the latest java /sdk/jdk. (google it)
-Team Rejectz quick fix. (xda-dev section)
-Root file explorer such as : root explorer or ES file explorer OR adb shell on your pc to pull/push files from your pc to your phone.
-Notepad++ (google it)
-7 zip (google it)
- rooted e4gt and a NANDROID BACKUP!
1. Pull the framework res from your phone. Make a copy and save it. (system/framework)
2. Use the quick fix to decompile the framework res apk. The quick fix will make a framework res folder.
3. Go to res/values/strings.xml and open it with NotePad ++
4. At the top of NotePad ++ you will see an icon that looks like a pair of binoculars. That's the search icon.
Search for "Sprint". You should get 3 instances.
5 edit "Sprint" to say Black or Team Rejectz, your name or whatever you like. Just make sure its not too big or it won't work.
6. Recompile. After quick fix is done recompiling, there will be 2 new folders in the framework res folder; build, and dist. Go into the dist folder and you will see your new framework res apk.
7. Open the archive (don't extract, just open archive) of both the original copy of the framework res and the new one you edited from the dist folder. Drag and drop the META inf folder from the original to the modded apk. Now double click on the res folder in both archives. Drag and drop the drawable hdpi folder from the original to the modded archive.
Close out the archives and push your new framework res to system/app on your phone with either adb or your rooted file explorer. If you use the file explorer to push the framework res make sure you set the permissions the same as the rest of the system apks first. Push, reboot, enjoy.
Thanks

Yea. Tried this today. I ran into a couple problems. The last step you say to push the framework-res file to "system/app" is that correct cause there is no room in there. I only have like a couple megs in there. I would have thought that it replaces the original file in "system/framework". I copied it there and over wrote the original and set permissions . The phone restarted by it self when I did that and got stuck on the boot animation. I force restarted the phone again and it still gets stuck on the boot animation. I restored my nandroid. I followed your instructions to a T. With the exception of where the framework-res file should go:crying: My carrier label has the same amount of characters as "Team Rejectz".

Ok, first yes that should go to framework, system/app must have been a typo. Second, the getting stuck on boot could be a number of things, you'll have to get a logcat to find the specific cause. When this happened to me it was an improper edit that caused the xml to fail although it recompiled fine. Hope that helps.

[GUIDE] How to install from flashable zip manually

Hi everyone
This is my first thread, so I decide to make it useful to everyone
Let's GO !
What You Want :
ES File Explorer File Manager (OR any file explorer supports zip extracting)
Rooted Phone
Nandroid Backup (You don't know how important it is)
1- enable root explorer and set permission to r/w (read & write)
2- extract the flashable zip to your memory
3- go to the existing folder
4- copy everything except META-INF folder to the root of your phone
5- "Must" show replace confirmation select confirm
6- After the copy operation is finished, reboot your device
7- Done, Congratulations
PLEAS NOTE THAT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE ABOUT YOUR DEVICE IF YOU BREAK IT RESTORE THE NANDROID BACKUP
note if its a new file you need to set permissions of the file
most files in app are rw-w-w however some may vary depending on what file it is
at the end of the day if you have a flashable zip its much better to flash certain things than push to system so if the flashable zip has already been made for you than you might as well use it
One doubt please

yes just push to system and set permissions - normally rw-r-r
although I dont know why you would want to do this as its always better to flash the file and since you have a flashable zip why not just flash it

with root browser you can set permissions of any file - please search how
it depends what framework files you are replacing - you cant just replace with any old file from a different rom - it wont work
if its been designed for your rom or you are modding your own files then thats fine
and a flashable zip takes two secs - you dont need a pc - and iv posted a template loads of times
here is it again - just add any files you want to flash to framework in the framework folder
if you want files to go to the app folder just create a folder in system in the zip called app and put files there
same for any other folder in system

Did'nt worked here, I put the extracted folder in the system apps, reboot and nothing... Any ideas? I set the permissions to rw-r--r-- only in the folder, not in the apk, trying again.
Best greetings
Didn't worked for me so i downloaded the latest version from apkmirror and pasted it in system/app without the folder and rebooted and it worked
