[APP][Xposed] Ussd blocker - Stop prepaid balance update popups - Nexus 4 Themes and Apps

** This app will only work on ROOTED Stock Android 4.1+ or AOSP ROMS **
** Xposed framework is required http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 **
Ussd blocker will block the annoying USSD balance update popups that come up on your phone, each time you make a call or change data connectivity. This app is like a silent inbox for all your USSD popup messages.
Two main reasons to use this app:
- No usage popups especially when you don't have the time to read them, e.g after ending a call or unlocking your phone.
- USSD messages are lost once you dismiss them. So, if you are on a prepaid connection and want to know when and how you lost your balance, you can get it from your history of usage update messages in this app.
Installation:
- If you are rooted, install Xposed framework from here http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk and reboot your device.
- After installing the app, enable the Ussd Blocker Xposed module and reboot

droid bionic (targa) i have tried hitting report but it apparently oes nothing (or it does it without any notice but popup stays after hitting report)
maybe some files missing from aokp, will try with CM kk(i think it should work or is it only for 4.2-4.3?)

I am on kitkat 4.4.2, it should work on any AOSP 4.1+ ROM.

This app solves the same problem as described in this XDA post.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/block-all-balance-update-sms-messages-with-ussd-blocker/
Any suggestions are welcome. Can someone confirm if this works on 4.1?

@veagles can we expect any support for Gingerbread? or atleast publishing the source code will help a lot!

Why is it asking permission for internet connection?

Not Working!! (UI Force Closes)
This is really a nice concept for a module and I would like to thank you for your efforts. But there seems to be a problem as when I installed this module on my "SONY Xperia U with a stock based ROM" the module just force closes. The UI does not opens up.Kindly look into the matter and try to resolve it for me.
Also I would like to request a feature, an option to select which USSD messages to block. For example most people don't mind the after call notification.
Thank you.

Awesome app. :thumbup:

Tried the updated version too. The force close issue has been removed. But on 4.1 and lower devices none of the USSD messages are being blocked. I am still getting after call and net change message. Please try to resolve.

First and foremost, the script used to create this is from jt1134. My complete boredom wanted an updated MIUI build that will stay updated. This is my only android device worth a damn so I am just bored with it. Without his script I wouldn't have been able to do this. So many thanks to him.
Ported from the latest official fascinate rom and will stay updated. The theme in the picture is not default, it is only shown for theme working purposes.
Just flash in CWM Recovery

Can't seem to get the Control Panel App to apply the settings.
Two more things I noticed, the trash can menu that up when deleting an icon doesn't stretch to the end of the screen, as well as the sound recorder app.

The lockscreen also is not centered in some themes, making it unable to unlock the screen. I had to reflash once.
Guys if you want to fix off centered Widgets you have to set dpi to 300

This is great news. Good to see one of the best ROMs in my opinion, MIUI, now available for CDMA Tabs. Keep up the good work!
I'm curious if GPS works in this build.

That is definitely an Internet Explorer issue unrelated to the site. There are two possible causes. The first is that you are behind a firewall that is blocking the site. The second and most likely cause is Internet Explorer has forgotten how to access the internet (no joke).
I've been working in the computer field for many years and have seen this numerous times. You can have a computer that has IE and any other browser. IE will fail to open sites and complain about not having an internet connection or the page doesn't exist. Any other browser run on the same computer has no issue surfing the internet and accessing the same sites that IE said didn't exist. I suggest trying another browser. (This would also explain why you can see the screencaps)
With regards to providing direct links to the ROM, there is a reason why I do not do that. In addition to my own development work I also host/maintain the archive of all the factory software for the Photon as well as other hard to find software tools. Seeing that donations have stopped completely in this economy the ads on my site are the only way to help pay for hosting costs, even if it's only a very small portion. I hope you understand.
very right up you

WiFi is working fine here in the states. If you did a backup before flashing, extract system.rfs.tar from the backup and post a copy of your build.prop so I can take a look at it. I think I know what the issues may be, just want to make sure.

Try the stock KPI firmware first and see if you have the same issue. If you have issues with the stock KPI firmware let us know. Then try my release and see if the issues are there as well. Wifi or BT not working in one specific region of the world is hard to troubleshoot.
To other users:
The ROM has had over 200 downloads with close to no feedback. Without feedback it makes it difficult to fix and/or improve. Feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks

Reverting back to the default theme will reduce performance and almost double the size of touchwiz as well as remove the transition animations. When I get a chance I'll upload the stock files.

You can also just create a shortcut to the activity under "settings", just FYI. This is good for people who can't do that, though.

This is what I read about App Ops:
"Some apps don't show all their required permissions until we use them. For instance with Bump app the authorizations for "vibrate mode" and "Send notification" only appear when we open the app and try to send something."
I don't have 4.3 atm so could u please confirm? It seems very strange to have a security app wich works like that...

yes, and you can try "App Ops Launcher" on play store to launch the "App ops" on android 4.3, it is just only 7kb.
it is coming with the next update? i mean official yet?
A new way for end users to break apps...a developers nightmare come true. While I like the idea of this it is too easy for users to switch off permissions, forget they did it, app appears broken and the developer must waste time supporting a non-issue.
This is aimed at the functionality Google has added to 4.3 not the OP's shortcut app.

The situation wouldn't be the current one if some developpers don't use useless permissions. Have a look at Facebook's permissions...
The user has to know what he does before criticizing an app that seems to not work properly.

If used properly this is an awesome addition, the problem is what I stated above will indeed happen.
Example being a wallpaper app (we will call it wall-e) shouldn't be able to read contacts if it can't set contact images, in this example disabling this ability is warrented. But perhaps you didn't know this particular wallpaper app can set contact images, you disable this permisssion. Weeks later your changing John Doe's image to find wall-e in the list with gallery, you think cool I can use wall-e to change John's image so you select wall-e and bam...force close. You think the app is broken, send bug report, the developer reads the crashlog and tries for hours to find out why on this particular device setting a contact image causes a crash.
This is a general example, it gets worse as most users have no idea what permissions are really necessary for Android applications basic functionality.
Then it gets much worse, this is one user...imagine all the millions of users using hundreds of thousands of apps once 4.3 is mainstream like 4.2.
Please try this "App ops launcher", it is only 7kb, scan this and install on your device to have a try.

Manage your LED notification light fast and easily. No more trying to guess which app or which person demands your attention with random colors.
Features:
Select color by app or by text. Your favorite contacts can have their own color no matter which app they use to contact you.
Handle missed called.
Fine tune blinking speed for each notification.
Lightweight, almost no memory and battery footprint.
This app makes use of Android's 4.3 Notification Listener and thus it must be enabled under Device Settings > Security > Notification Access. It cannot access the internet so your personal data is absolutely safe.
Thanks for giving it a look!

EDIT:

Running stock unrooted.
I will wait for future update.
Hope everything goes well with ur exams

Whatsapp ART support

There's a piece of news for all of you ART converters who are waiting for a Whatsapp update (WA currently crashes on ART runtime).
I've sent an email to WA support team to ask when a future update will be available which will solve the fc when running ART.
Here's the reply from the support team:
"Hi,
Thanks for your message. Currently, ART does not support WhatsApp. Since ART is still in beta stage, WhatsApp will continue to run in Dalvik until Android has been fully converted to ART. A bug has been reported to Google regarding this issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. We would be happy to help!".
So, take your own conclusions. Mine is that we will not see any update of any app currently having issues with ART until Android will take it out of the beta stage and will make it the default compiler (Android 5?).

Here's the reply from the support team:
"Hi,
Thanks for your message. Currently, ART does not support WhatsApp. Since ART is still in beta stage, WhatsApp will continue to run in Dalvik until Android has been fully converted to ART. A bug has been reported to Google regarding this issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. We would be happy to help!".
So, take your own conclusions. Mine is that we will not see any update of any app currently having issues with ART until Android will take it out of the beta stage and will make it the default compiler (Android 5?).

Bad news...
So, according to the devs of whatsapp, ART doesn't support their app... Do they understand what a runtime environment means? I'm guessing someone is laughing hard at the Google offices with the bug they've "reported".
"Yep, we're going to modify our runtime environment because their app doesn't run with it.".

Shah, exactly. It's like asking Linus to change Linux so it can run Outlook 2013.

Seriously I don't get why people like Whatsapp.
There are many alternative out there such as Viber or Line which provides better interface and actually adhere to Google guidelines.
ehh.. whats ART?

I read somewhere that an old version works and the new one doesn't because of the included libs.. I don't use whatapp, but couldn't someone just grab the latest APK, open it in 7zip and remove the libs?

me too, I've to use it just because all my friends are using it. I wish everyone could use hangouts (never had a crash here), but unfortunately the iOS version is kinda slow (on iphone4 at least).
it looks like WA team is really lazy, look at the iOS version! iOS7 was released to developers months ago and still, it has the iOS6 interface lol.
I'm afraid the same is gonna happens here for the Dalvik/ART switch.
hope I'm wrong ofc.

I just tried, doesn't work
I think is not a lib problem:
Version 2.10.768(no libs in apk) installs fine but not work, "software too old error"
Version 2.11.12(no libs in apk) error during installation
Version 2.11.93 libs in apk and error during installation
So, we can try to solve "software too old error", a star point can be this class: "com\whatsapp\g.smali"
or we can try to solve the installation error on version 2.11.12, now i'm on dalvik, there is anyone on art can post logcat of installation of 2.11.12?

I'll reiterate that this is not the fault of the WhatsApp application. The ART verifier was blocking the installation of this app, but we are going to fix ART to address this issue. I'll update this bug when the fix is in AOSP.

I'm getting install failed on for the 2.10.768 APK in ART
WhatsApp 2.11.135 is out, you may want to give it a try..
Good news, I manage to get version 2.11.42 running under art. The trick is however, you need to first switch back to dalvik, install it, then switch back to art again.
Go give it a try. Works for me.
One catch, the attach photo from gallery not working, but still can share from gallery to whatsapp, just not from whstsapp to pick from gallery. I can live with that.
The latest version I got running is 2.11.50
WhatsApp 2.11.134 still not working with ART
