[MOD][4/14/2014] - Unlocked Tether - Remove Keyboard indicator! - Updated - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development

Removes tether check. Verizon, IMHO, has no right to restrict how you use data. And to charge more for how you use your data is ridiculous.
To me that is like the water company telling me I have to pay more if I want to take a shower vs taking a bath. Its water. This is data. Get over it Verizon.
Updated: 4/14/2014: Fixed some apps have random error code 106 and The Verge App not working.
Big thanks to bajasur for his help!
This is for MJE based ROMS Only!
Same tricked used on every Samsung device ever made...
Original hack posted HERE and ported to Note 3 by me (and all the other devs in there ROMS).
Flash in recovery. Should work fine with Safestrap or unlocked devices...
Works on odex or de-odex. Most custom ROMS have this so I dont recommend using it over any custom ROM.
Designed more so for stock or stock rooted ROMS / Devices.
Two for one special: Also removes the keyboard indicator from the status bar!
Link: Unlocked Tether
Link: Unlocked Tether with No Keyboard indicator
​

How to make this mod...
Decompile framework-res
Open /res/values/arrays.xml
Find this:
Code:
<string-array name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app">
<item>com.sec.tetheringprovision</item>
<item>com.sec.tetheringprovision.TetheringProvisionActivity</item>
</string-array>
Change it to this:
Code:
<array name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app" />
That unlocks tether by telling framework to not look for a check.
Next to get rid of that hideous keyboard indicator (That I admittedly once liked)..
Edit bools.xml and look for ime_notification and turn it from true to false.
Now recompile and pat yourself on the back!

Just wasting space with this post...

Thanks.

Tell me about it!

is it possible for someone to post an already modified framework-res.apk file or is each phone different?
Mine says this
<string-array name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app">
<item>com.samsung.spg</item>
<item>com.samsung.spg.NewSPGActivity</item>
</string-array>
which is different from what this thread says to locate
<string-array name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app">
<item>com.sec.tetheringprovision</item>
<item>com.sec.tetheringprovision.TetheringProvisionActivity</item>
</string-array>

That's weird. I go into the res folder and all I see is an images folder. Am I missing something?

"Started"? It worked at first but now does not work? If so then maybe Verizon "fixed" it.

Figured out what the issue was.
In the Note 3, you can specify the broadcast channel under show advanced options for the hotspot frequency, either 2.4 GHz or 5.0 GHz. I must have selected 5.0 somehow and my laptop only sees 2.4.
Once I checked 2.4, unchecking 5.0, it started working as it should.

Tried it on 190dpi and you can get some weird vertical end call button thingy, so only use for 160dpi.
Gotta say...CM9 just looks so much better at 160.

good find
Thanks for this! and say I wanna go back to the 240 dpi do I just uninstall the apk?
You shouldn't have to uninstall the apk just to go back to 240. Just reset your dpi with ROM toolbox or in the build prop and reboot.

Works great on Codename but is there anyway to get the answering tab moved up a little bit so that the whole slider icon appears fully on the screen?? Right now it is still usable but only half of the icon shows up when answering the phone. No big deal and once again thanks for this apk.

Erick or someone would probably have to edit the drawable to make it fit on screen at 160. I know exactly what you're talking about, but I don't really have the experience to make those changes.

I wish I was ninja at messing around with the values any further, still trying to figure out how to use apk tool... complicated. Did find where I think the value that needs to be changed to fix it though:
res\values\dimens.xml
in_call_incoming_cal_widget_height
For some stupid reason I can't get it to compile. When and IF I do I'll upload the fixed version asap.

I finally got it to compile, apparently it was because I was using and older apktool thingy.
But as for the little button, I was wrong on the assumption of changing that value since changing it did nothing to move ic_in_call_touch_handle_normal, so it's something else...
*scratches head*
sadly it says voice not supported on mine, any ideas why?

Works on Codename just fine, according to cicada. AOKP seems to be the one having the issue, although that could just be case by case basis.
It's nice that this app works for 160 pix density but is it possible to have it also fix the ghost wifi app
Thanks million!!!!

Can this work on mini v4
I prefer the DPI set at 200. Would it be possible to tweak this package for other DPI's? I'm not sure if it would require twice the work or just modifying some values. Thanks for your effort on this!!

that app has nothing to do with OP's request. the app you linked is to keep root after a OTA update.
OP's request is to take out "root check" in the app. I guess the reason why they have it is the same reason why Google "Play Movies" doesn't allow rooted phones to watch movies because of DRM etc etc.
A workaround is to temporarily disable root.
The ota root keeper does temp disable root .

The OP modified .apk should work on all phones. If I'm not mistaken, the OP removed the tests (if statements) to check and see if you were rooted
Tests included: checking to see if you have a Superuser.apk in /system/app (renaming superuser to superuser1.apk passes the test)
another test was to see if your build.prop had test-keys. Changing to release-keys, or probably anything for that matter would pass the test.
In short, yes, the download link in post #1 should work perfectly.

[MOD/WIP] Screen Mode is here! Sort of..

I've managed to 'unlock' screen mode on our US Galaxy S IIIs. However, it doesn't currently change anything, at least from what I can tell.
I'm not sure if we're missing some libs from the international model or what, but if anyone wants to download an international ROM and help figure out what's making it not work, I'd appreciate the help!
I'm attaching a flashable zip as well as instructions on how to enable this yourself.
How-to for devs:
Decompile SecSettings.apk OR extract classes.dex and decompile that.
Navigate to \com\android\settings\DisplaySettings.smali
LOOK FOR:
Code:
const-string v6, "mode"
invoke-virtual {p0, v6}, Lcom/android/settings/DisplaySettings;->findPreference(Ljava/lang/CharSequence;)Landroid/preference/Preference;
REMOVE BELOW:
Code:
invoke-virtual {v7, v6}, Landroid/preference/PreferenceScreen;->removePreference(Landroid/preference/Preference;)Z
SIDE NOTE:
You can also change the invoke-virtual from v7, v6 to v6, v9 and it will still work. However, it will make the "auto adjust screen tone" no longer appear. The key to making screen mode work will more than likely be in this file, or missing libs. Maybe.
Recompile SecSettings or classes.dex and push to phone.

Yeah. pretty much. At first I had FCs but I solved them, now it just doesn't change anything. It doesn't even show a preview of how it would look if you tapped on one of the options.
I'm assuming either libs are missing, or maybe I just didn't do something right in smali. At any rate, at least I want to narrow down if libs are the issue so I can continue or not.

I have the lte model as well and the "users" option is mysteriously missing from the menu but luckily its an easy fix...all u have to do is edit your build.prop and add the line "fw.max_users=5" (not sure but I THINK u can use any number) WITHOUT the quotations to the bottom of the file then save & reboot. I did also edit my secsettings.apk although I don't think that's actually needed for this particular mod but if the above doesnt work then I will upload it for u...on a side note I'm also working on a rom for us lte users but just don't expect anything fancy. I'm simply trying to add back all of the features that I have found to be missing in our tablets but I ran into a SLIGHT problem along the way...I BROKE MY FRICKIN SCREEN! :crying: The bad part is its NOT the glass but the actual lcd that's cracked...the irony is I actually fix this stuff for a living but the device is so new that I cant even find the part which I'm sure will cost an astronomical amount whenever it is. I apologize about the rant but needed to get that off my chest...hope that helps though :highfive:

How to change Op3 to Pixel XL using build. prop on OOS?

Hello all,
Could anyone please guide me what to change in build.prop in order to show it as a Pixel XL for play Store? Again, I'm using OOS not any custom rom. I will really appreciate if someone can guide me.
REASON: Modern Combat Versus is out as a beta and pixel XL + Sammy devices are supported. I don't know about Sammy but people have had success changing phone id to pixel for assistant to work. There are some lines in OOS build.prop which are not available usually in custom ROMs.
EDIT:
below are the lines which the tutorial showed but are not present exactly in OOS:
ro.product.model=Pixel XL
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.name=marlin
ro.product.device=marlin
ro.product.board=marlin
ro.product.manufacturer=google
For Google Assistan it was this for adding to build.prop
ro.product.model=Pixel XL
ro.opa.eligible_device=true

But i think you only would need the first line. Give it a try. (You need root for this)
I already have root actually. All i need now is a proper direction to make sure it appears as a Pixel Xl on play store. I have another tutorial from youtube buy those lines aren't present in OOS build.prop
You can add those lines to the bottom of build.prop.

These lines can't be added. They need to be properly edited to replace OnePlus branding with Google Pixel Xl. i don't want to do anything stupid because i am not much experienced with it.

Then backup your build.prob with either copying the file or content.
And then replace it.
I dont think you can destroy really much, when editing this
Just an idea: Maybe you can add this lines at the bottom, because the file gets read sequentially and the values get overwritten? I really dont know. But worth a try.
Wow! Really works thanks OP! :good:

I actually edited some lines which looked the same and then added some, got it working and could download the game from play store.

Hey man what country do you live in? I'm trying to get this too work, and I got rid of the device not compatible with those build prop lines but now I get that it isn't compatible. I was gonna use a VPN to change to whichever country it works in
