[App] GS5 Native Hotspot Unlocker - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps

This feels like it should go in development to me, so please feel free to move it mods, but since it is technically an app I am putting it here.
Graphics aren't very pretty but initial testing has been good, only one person having problems on gs5. This should theoretically work on any sprint phone, and I plan on adding support for more devices over time, and more features, but here is the first version.
General Directions:
You must be rooted
Click the first three buttons and reboot, then your native hotspot should work.
After the initial unlock you may need to re-click the unlock button from time to time, some updates overwrite the unlock
Add to notifications button works, and will only add when the panel is not already there.
I have had mixed reports about the tether packet counter being disabled, some people reported the hotspot goes down after 10-30 mins when you disable the packet counter.
I have plans of adding vpn support and enabling the button to start the hotspot from within this app, maybe even including my own hotspot framework like some of the other apps.
Just added a diagnostics and request support for my device in the settings menu, this will setup an email with some info I will need to help troubleshoot, just click send after its prepared.
Let me know what you guys think and if you run into any problems. And please by all means try it on different devices and click the request support option to send me the info, I would like to get this working universally.
This has been tested on NKD and NK4 successfully. NKD v2 ROM is known to have problems, if you can manually get a sqlite binary that works into /system/xbin/ the rest will work but it is advised to upgrade instead.
**NOTE**
Please be kind this is my first app I have released, and I do not consider myself a java developer by any means. If you want to help and contribute let me know...
***Big Thanks to the following people for donating***
@eevanskiteboards
***Update***
Just realized that my app is expecting the "which" binary to be there and functional, which is not always the case. This means that having busybox installed may be a pre-requisite for now
**Update 2***
Added 0.2 version, should hopefully work on Boost mobile.

Worked like a charm, many thanks!

Honestly didnt even know there was more than one version. If you still have it installed can you run the diagnostic report on it in the settings menu of the app?

It doesn't work with v2 because that version didn't have an android 5 compatible sql. I didn't find out until after it was released but it was corrected in the v3 version of the Android L leak I posted.

Interesting, good to know. The app downloads sqlite, but it switches on 5.0 and everything else. So i guess if it didnt like pie binaries that would explain it.

Yeah, it wasn't any fun trying to find a pie compatible sql but good to know its working. I know its always a WIP but I tried the app briefly, good job. Now if only we can get an OTA and a way to deodex Android 5 dependably, we'll be all set.

Deodex and decompile is close, I got pretty far but definitly still some work needed. I plan to build something into the app that will give you the option of dropping a modified services.jar into place so that you wont have to re-unlock when APNs are updated. Also a few more things as time allows.

Going to try this out on NE5 today. Never got around to flashing the other zip so going to try this.

Works great on sprint android 5.0 leak rom

Just an update, it seems the people who are having problems have all been related to a bad copy of sqlite so far. If you are having any issues please try to remove sqlite and use a different app to install it, or grab the binary directly, until I can get it worked out. To remove run as root via adb or a terminal emulator:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/xbin/sqlite3
mount -o remount,ro /system
Then get sqlite installed via the sqlite installer app in the playstore or manually download and install the proper binary. I will try to get things fixed up ASAP but with the holidays upon us it may take a few days.
Problematic roms seem to include NKD v2, 4.4.2 for gs5 sport, and a few other 4.x roms on the gs5.
There is still a lot of work to be done on this and I appreciate the effort from those who have tested, and those who provided feedback.
Thanks and happy holidays

Assuming root is working, try another method of installing sqlite. There is an app called sqlite installer in the playstore that should do the trick.

How to manually install SQLite
Lets try this. I am attaching two different versions (just to have) of SQLite. One is for 4.4.2 and the other is for 5.0 (Android L).
Unzip the one for 4.4.2 and using a Root Explorer like the one built into Rom Toolbox, copy it to system/xbin overwriting the one that is there if prompted.
Then long press on the file system/xbin/sqlite, select permissions and change it to 0755.
Note:
Flashable versions of SQLite added if you anyone needs them but must have custom recovery installed.

I wonder if NE5 uses the pie binary like 5.0? FWIW the app downlosds a pie binary for anything with a sys version of 5.0 or higher, and non pie for anything under 5.0. Whatever the case I have a user reporting a similar problem on the gs5 sport running 4.4.2, so maybe I just have a bad copy of the non pie binary but its hard to make that call since sqlite installer also installs something that seems not to work.
For the people having issues, can you also run sqlite from a terminal emulator or adb by issuing the following command:
su
/system/xbin/sqlite3
If the binary is bad it should return a message similar to segmentatuon fault.

I updated my post to include flashable zips. I 'think' the 5.0 pie version runs fine on 4.4.2 too but posted both anyway. Maybe add a link to the OP if you need to later on for manual and flashable versions with howto for manual installation.
Anyway, have a nice Xmas Mike.

Update:
BTW, I did flash something that relies on sql with the pie binary on NE5 and it did seem to take.

I used smali and allowed each APK to reference all of the .odex files in the framework, added the classes.dex files to their respective APKs, and zipaligned. I don't know if it matters, but I did those steps through the command line, although I'm sure the process would be a lot faster with a script. If you would like the exact line-by-line process that I used, let me know.
So how is this Rom & all I have to do is download & flash it or is there another step to do?

The procedures are the same as for other ZIP-based ROMs: download, transfer to phone, and flash through recovery. You may or may not need to erase your data (depending on which ROM you're coming from), but backing up your data beforehand is advisable and never hurts.
I haven't received any feedback regarding this specific ROM yet (I don't know if that's a good or bad sign). The main difference is that it's deodexed and will decompile without errors. I'm sure there are other threads with more in-depth information on IMM26 changes/improvements/issues.
SuperUser
I was impressed with this rom for the first few minutes I used it. But then I found out that my SuperUser app wasn't working. I tried updating the binaries through the app itself but it couldn't gain root access. I downloaded the file again and flashed it again but SuperUser still didn't work. It was the same problem with not gaining root access. So I flash the SuperUser zip file from zedomax's tutorial on rooting the Nexus S 4G and I was able to gain root access. Just thought I'd tell you.
mvilla, how did you fix the superuser root access problem? i am having the same problem when i try to update binary, and im getting permission error when i try to flash recovery in rom manager, i think is because of superuser not working.
I went to nexusshacks.com and downloaded the nexussrootICS.zip file (I think that's what its called). There's a SuperUser.zip file within that zip file. I moved the file to my phone and flashed it in recovery (wipe cache and dalvik cache of course). And its working well.

Hey buddy, I'd LOVE to have the step-by-step, or line-by-line on the process you used to decompile. If you could PM me, or post it up here for everyone to use, that would be great!! I'm kinda new to the decompiling and compiling scene so any help would be great! Also, you said that most devs that use ICS probably use a kitchen to decompile and compile their .jar and .apk files, where is this kitchen? Or are you talking about Android SDK?

Will there be any further updates to this in the near future, or has this reached the end of the line so-to-speak? Just curious because I like having the natural AOSP of this.
Been using this since the 9th and I have to say it's very smooth. Very stock too, which obviously is what it's supposed to be. Just saying that for anyone who comes in looking for something customized. This is basically pure vanilla ICS.
Sorry for the delayed replies. I've been hammered by other obligations lately.

I have replaced the Google apps that have been updated since the IMM26 release. There are rumblings that the official ICS ROM should be released sometime soon. I'm not holding my breath, but I'll offer the same thing to that release once it comes out.
If you're asking about adding functionality or features, I don't think I'd have anything unique to offer since there are so many other ROMs and customizable updates out already. I have considered including FaceLock functionality, but it adds quite a bit of size to the ROM and honestly, it hasn't worked very well for me. If there is enough interest, I'll include it as a separate revision in the future.
I'm getting a error for the media fire links. New link please?

[App] Prepay Widget - working?

Hi guys - is it working OK? There was an update that should now make it fully compatible witg the GSM S3.
.........................................................................................................................................................................
Hello everyone! I am the developer of Prepay Widget, a small app that allows you to monitor your account balance through USSD requests.
You can find more info about USSD on Wikipedia, but basically these are short, SMS-like messages used by most GSM and some CDMA providers to deliver information
or control account services. The actual information comes to you in the form of popup toasts, which thids app hides and parses into widgets.
You can find the apps landing page on XDA at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12348102
However, i want to stress that its important that we get some device-specific feedback, so please post in this thread if you have issues,
this helps me keep track of bugs and requests better.
You can use the Lite version of the app - it has all the functionality of the full version apart from automatic updates (not really that important imo).
As I haven't got one of these phones in my pocket, I need some testers to track down problems. Please, use this thread to comment or
suggest features. It is my belief that addressing issues is best done individually by phone, so if something doesn't work, let me know and I will fix it ASAP.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.ussd.widget.lite
Debugging:
Please use the "Write to developer" item in the Settings menu to send logs. Enable debugging, reproduce your error and then send the logs.
Make sure you include a description - the more detailed the description the better.
Screens:
Been usign it for quite some time now, full version. First on Razr XT910 and now on SGS3 with root.
No problems here. Widget set up to open the ap or to update balance works just fine.

Anything to report?
I downloaded your app and ran it, it updated fine whilst setting it up but now it never updates(just stuck on the circle) and my USSD codes don't work anymore when I type them in the dialer. It gives me the "connection problem or invalid MMI code" responce. Uninstalling did not help and I still get these issues dialing in the USSD code.
I was using 1.3.3.3 on Paranoid Andoid 1.992 and Siyah Kernel 1.52.
Are you in root mode?

Hi,
i've been using prepay widget on ICS (galaxy s 3) for long w/o any probs.
now upgraded to JB XXDLI8 and it just stuck with adding ussd code (circling without any progress)
i did a uninstall and reinstall and it did not help (baseband DLI8, supersu installed)
what can i do?
P.S. when disabled root mode it worked fine. But how can get it work with root?
We dont support leaked firmware of any kind, ever. When a final official build is released, i will look into the issue.
hi
updated to official release XXDLIB, problem still remains
when granted root it just stucks on adding ussd code, without root it works but updating screen is annoying.
should i send you error log? would you mind?
Yes, with a description.
Ok, sent it by write to developer after enabling error log.
Hope you can find the source of problem

[MODS] General Mods for Stock Jellybean

Until the bootloader is unlocked. Attached is some mods to improve upon Jellybean.
Also, I urge people to bring any modifications(or test yourself) some of the mods in the Nexus 4 section that I can hopefully start transposing onto the LG Optimus Jellybean. I suggest if you're unsure if a mod will work. Ask me first, it's better to ask than brick your phone.
I'll make flashable zips and incorporate into lifeless eventually.
thermald-8064.conf
- Download file (this is NOT flashable)
- Extract the file
- Replace the extracted file with the same file in System/etc (Using Root Explorer or similiar)
- This improves the overheating issue based on the modified stock thermaconfig from ICS
Camera-Mod by _EPIC
- Same exact directions as above
- Excep replace the media_profiles with the media_profiles file attached.
More to come
Seems to be working thanks!

Wifi Teather Root
Hello,
Hope this is the right forum, just recently updated to jelly bean LS970ZVB from this forum. Was able to retain root access; however lost my ability to use Wifi Tether for Root Users. Evidently FreeGee hasn't came up with a way to unlock the bootloader just yet after the update. Is there a way with this update to utilize free WIFI wireless tethering. I've looked around everywhere, and nothing has seemed to work. I have all green check marks on the log within the application. Please help!!!!:confused.
Maybe Sqlite will work with forcing entitlement changes; however , cant find this either.

Didn't see that in the etc folder the first time. Anyway, I replaced it now. Thanks
I can't seem to DL the thermal zip correctly. It says it dl's but when I open it there is nothing in there. The cam mod zip worked fine.

Adri, the bootloader is unlocked, but the boot image that freegee has is for ics and therefore won't boot. If you just flash the recovery and aboot, you are unlocked, but can't debloat since the security error is fixed with the custom boot image. We haven't figured out how to fix it on jb hence the delay.

This one sounded interesting. Wonder if there's a similar mod that would work for us:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028289
It changes the synaptic driver out to increase touch screen responsiveness.
Nothing else really comes to mind though.
There's a virtual CD ROM mod I saw floating around, but I would have to find it again.

Shelnutt has updated freegee to properly work and boot for us (the jb boot image and stuff has been taken care of). Now that is out of the way and we are unlocked/rooted zvb, could you make flashable zips for the 2 mods? would love to try them out
thanks
Always look forward to you and Epics stuff.
thanks op!

Thanks for the mods, especially the thermal mod. Appreciate the work you did on lifeless especially working with the i-crap sandwich code you and the other devs had to deal with. Looking forward to your jb roms. Keep up the good work and thanks again to you and the rest of the devs! :good:

[Q] I'm rooted, now what?

So I just rooted my Nexus 7. I am not interested in changing the ROM, unless I really should, since I really like the Stock ROM. What are some good things to do while rooted?
A side note: I called Google before I did the procedure and they said unlocking the bootloader would not void the warranty. So, that is interesting.
... now you search and find cool things to do with your rooted tablet.
I'll toss you a breadcrumb though- Xposed. The rest is up to you.

Second that - once you've fiddled with a decent number of Xposed mods, there is no turning back :laugh: :good:
I'll toss you three other subjects related to Xposed - MoDaCo, GravityBox and App Settings You'll come a long way with those!
Also, the first things I install after updating firmware are ROM Toolbox, Root Explorer and Xposed. Then you can do anything!

Run Linux on it in a chroot ?
Do some hacking to see how the device works
Install busybox once you rooted, if the root process did not install it.
I have a version of busybox (1.21.1) compiled using the android-ndk
As some of the google search pages do not tell you, that if you don't use the ndk it breaks busybox's wget, traceroute, ping etc.
I know their are apps to install busybox, but they want a "donation" which usually I don't mind doing, but not for something I can compile on my own.

|Mod|How-To| Patched Google Wallet |28 Jan 2014|

This is a guide for patching Google Wallet for the S4, which is based off the original work (here and here) by @loserskater. There is also a flashable zip linked below.
This mod is really simple actually. You just need to grab some files from the GT-I9505G and change some CSC code.
You will need the following files from the GT-I9505G:
Code:
/system/app/NfcNci.apk
/system/etc/nfcee_access.xml
/system/lib/hw/nfc_nci.MSM8960.so
/system/lib/libnfc_nci_jni.so
/system/lib/libnfc-nci.so
You will also need to grab the most recent app from loserskater's thread.
Now just place all the above files in the appropriate locations in your ROM.
In your ROM, navigate to /system/csc/feature.xml and open that document with a text editor.
Find the NFC code and replace with the following from the GT-I9505G:
Code:
<!-- NFC -->
<CscFeature_NFC_SetSecureEventType>GOOGLE</CscFeature_NFC_SetSecureEventType>
<CscFeature_SmartcardSvc_SetAccessControlType>NONE</CscFeature_SmartcardSvc_SetAccessControlType>
<CscFeature_NFC_DefaultCardModeConfig>ESE</CscFeature_NFC_DefaultCardModeConfig>
<CscFeature_NFC_EmbeddedSEType>TypeA</CscFeature_NFC_EmbeddedSEType>
<CscFeature_NFC_DefStatus>ON</CscFeature_NFC_DefStatus>
Notes:
If you flash the zip below Google Wallet will work, but some of your ROM features may change due to the included CSC file. If so, simply ask you ROM dev to update their CSC file with the code above.
If you are modding a TW 4.3 ROM, you will need to use files from a GT-I9505G 4.3 ROM. The same applies for 4.4 when we eventually get the update.
Do not install wallet updates from the Play Store. This will most likely break the patch.
Lot's of additional info available on loser's thread.
If you are outside of the US, you may need the disable device/network check Xposed module by entropy512 (also see post #8).
Download (Wallet version 2.0-R141-v14):
As with anything on xda, flash at your own risk.

I don't use it either (though I may start). I just wanted to help put a stop to some of the shenanigans going on in the S4 forums regarding this mod.
Tried this on Att mk2 stock, and I get "tap and pay setup failed" in wallet

I had it working fine, played around a little more, then I got the same error as you. I thought I had broke my secure element, but I guess that didn't happen.
I'll try and get this fixed tonight.
So in my feature.xml I don't have nfc. Looked and looked. Also I can't find the system/lib/ect. .... I have a i377m. Any ideas

So I tried this method and the source method and both times I got a nfc has stop over and over till my phone rebooted and same thing. Would really like to get wallet working

So I got it working. Just get the X posed mod google wallet root and region check remover. Then download the Google wallet apk. Then go to Google wallet on your browser and change your Addy to any US address. Worked for me after all that. Make sure to change your address before opening google wallet app.

I updated the DL link in the OP with what should be a fully working version (didn't make a transaction yet).
If you installed the previous version you will need to clear Wallet cache and data before flashing the new version.

Nice find. I'll direct non-US users to your post.
I went in this order, over wrote files from 19505 rom, placed latest mod from other thread, flashed zip from here and Nfc crashes. Is there a particular order I should be doing? I even tried a variant of editing the build.prop

What device do you have?
There is no proper order, and nothing else besides the zip in the OP should be needed (except for possibly the Xposed module).
I suggest re-flashing your ROM, then flashing only the zip in the OP.

Sounds like a lot of work.
There may be an easier way to get wallet working on 4.3. @loserskater posted a flashable zip that included his modded wallet along with the necessary files/edits from the S4 Google Play Edition in the Verizon forums. Not positive this will work on the AT&T version but this is the same approach @dannyben used to get wallet working for us on 4.3 before he locked his thread and pulled the files.
Check out this thread for the zip.
Also take a look at dannyben's thread. Even though it's locked down, it still has some good info including stuff specific to AT&T ROMs and a patch for a couple of issues for those of us running Golden Eye.
Assuming everything else works, if you're running a ROM with an international base you may get fc's for NFC Payment. You can just freeze/delete that app without any issues.
Thank you!!! I have tried everything on my MDOB v20 (4.3) ROM, old versions, many many mods, and this one fixed it! I haven't tried it yet, but says tap and pay ready, which is the farthest along I have gotten (before it wouldn't even load).
Thanks!!
UPdate- Well I have access to Tap to Pay, but it simply doesn't work at a shop. I guess I need to try another route... So frustrating!
a good place to test NFC tap N pay is at CVS and MCDonalds...other places are a hit and miss i noticed.
