[APP] Cell Broadcasts - Emergency Alert System

My biggest hold back on installing CM10 or AOKP was the lack of Cell Broadcasts built in. But low an behold I was able to restore it from a Titanium Backup. I figured I'd go ahead and share it here for all. And maybe for myself if I ever lose it!
This for sure installed on AOKP. At least it installed, I'll have to wait until Wednesday when they do the test to confirm it works.
To install (this is old, the link at bottom has a flashable zip.):
1. Copy the "CellBroadcastReceiver.apk" into "/system/app"
2. Change the permissions to "rw- r-- r--"
3. Restart
It wont be a normal app, but it should appear under Settings --> More... --> Cell broadcasts

It let's you receive alerts about threats and things like that.

Rather pointless to be honest.

As someone who has received numerous EAS alerts about shootings/tornadoes in the local metro area, I have to say it is very much not pointless.

It may not be for everyone. But for me, in Arkansas, I find it useful for Tornado warnings. The AMBER alerts are good too. Apps use data and GPS, thus killing your battery. This is a more stable system than some app. Most of the time my phone's WiFi is connected to some shoddy open Linksys router and in and out of proper data service anyway.
Cell Broadcast is like receiving a free text. Good for those on limited data plans, or those that need to be safe!

But... aren't cell broadcasts are a standard feature on this phone?
To be found under Setting, More.. and Cell boradcasts.

I think this was standard on the STOCK build, I can not remember since I rooted and flashed CM10 nearly the same day I got the phone. The point of this as the OP states is that once you flash CM10 you lose this functionality. He provided a way to recover that functionality.

Why does this get stripped out when they build the ROMs? I can't imagine anyone actually thinking it'd be a good idea to remove this, is it an oversight?

Cell broadcasts are true broadcasts, so there are no network overload issues when sending them out.
And they work as soon as there is coverage. If you are roaming somewhere without data, the broadcasts will still work.

Doesn't Google Now have something like this built in?
"Public Alerts" card? ... I do remember when a hurricane was coming to NYC, I never received any alerts. Although I was told by some people, it was in text messages.

Thanks to the OP for the app, obviously some people wanted it.
I find this funny though because my parents and I spent xmas weekend trying to figure out how to turn this crap off on their iphones, never did find a way, fortunately my n4 (stock at the time) did not have this annoyance.

This should be a flashable zip, with an addon.d script to keep it alive between ROM updates. I suppose I'll make a zip for myself.

With the stock rom i had found settings for this for what type of alerts I Wanted to get etc. I did get some alerts and they scared the crap out of me. They are sort of like the ebs on tv.

When I try to send a text message I get the following error.

It's a technical issue on your network providers side. How long have you had this issue?

Ive had this problem since Thursday. No data and cant send texts

Try dialing ##72786#.

CM 10.1 doesn't have this feature for the phone from my understanding. My phone doesn't reboot or anything. Also I wouldn't just blurt out stuff like that, I would post a little information on what that does for people who don't know.
My phone is still producing this problem up to this day. I can make phone calls, but cannot enjoy the convenience of texting.

Speaking if lacking information, you forgot to say you are running cm10.1 in the op. That could of helped.
Solution: flash back to a tw rom. And follow instructions giving. That dialer code resets your radios , it'll restart you phone.

What do you mean by "tw rom"?

For the love of everything dear, if you have the cojones to be running a CM10 ROM, you should at least know that TW refers to TouchWiz, as in the stock Samsung TouchWiz ROM.
Have you called in to customer service and have them either re-provision your account and or profile or just see if it's a tower issue in your locale, etc etc?
This past week, for 2 days, i couldn't make or receive calls or SMS but data worked. I didn't come on XDA and start a thread BEFORE calling in to C.S and finding out that it was a network/tower issue in my area/zip code (and they gave me a $10 credit for my trouble).

First, knowing what TW means isn't a requirement for you to root your device. But due to the situation, I know what TW is now. Secondly, wouldn't anyone with half a brain call Customer Service? To elaborate, no it's not a tower issue, it's specifically related to something on the device that is revoking it's ability to access my data.. maybe a username or password? Thank you for your abysmal support LordLugard.

Really..... it's a common assumption you know the at the very least what tw and aosp mean, if you know how to flash stuff.
With that said consult the cm10.1 thread.

Nobody's going to help you "wipe" afterwards. You're grown up enough. Do your own due diligence and give more details before bashing people. Did you mention that you tried any remedy like having your account re-provisioned or that you gave C.S a try, no...whatever..

[Q] Restore WiFi Calling from backup

I noticed that the WiFi calling app shows up in the backup/restore tab in Titanium Backup. If I have a backup for it, would I not be able to restore it if I loaded an i9505 ROM that doesn't have WiFi calling built in?

no, it will not work on aosp. no it will not work on i9505 roms. no it will not work on google edition roms (yet, porting it to those kinds of roms will be much easier since its based on touchwiz code, but still a challenge) yes it will work on an unlocked s4 from another carrier with a tmobile sim.

While this is true now....it will not be true forever.
People are trying to crack it and are getting the app to run smoothly and almost have it authenticating with a t mobile account. So progress is being made.
For the people who don't know the problem with just restoring the backed up app is that the app is just the interface for WiFi calling. The actual ability to do WiFi calling is baked into the framework of the stock ROM with various prices hurried all over the place.

I always thought the reason we can't get WiFi calling on any ROM was NOT because of apks but because of .so and lib files that cannot be decompiled.

I saw the thread in the development section claiming what services and libs and such were needed. I do recall reading another thread back when i had my S2 that said the bootloader or kernel? is part of it as well. Which is why those lib files needed to be edited.

Oh that's right...the libs weren't just hidden they needed to be modded as well. The ICS WiFi calling only took about a month to hack and port. T mobile got more creative on the jellybean version. Though I don't know why. They still can control authentication of a device and user account on their end. Its not like you can just steal t mobile service by installing WiFi calling.

true. But I give T-Mobile credit. I mean why port something that is exclusive to their phones and devices? It's not like it's taking control of your device like a locked bootloader or something like that. I say if you want WiFi calling then use a stock based ROM. There are hundreds out there plus with all the modding going on I'm sure there 90 percent pa aosp features can be added

[RESOLVED] [Q] After installing CM 10.2 nightly, 4G not available

Hey folks,
I've been searching for answer to this problem for a while and haven't been able to find a thread that answers my questions. If there is one that I couldn't find, I'd appreciate a link.
I installed CM 10.2 on my D710. After a bunch of issues with it (couldn't get CWM to run, had to use AGAT to install CM, which then brought along a version of CWM that does work), I finally got everything up and running, but 4G isn't available (3G works fine, if a bit slower than I remember, but I've not run any speed tests). I've gone to the #*#*4636*#*# menu and tried every preferred network type – it defaults to WCDMA Preferred, which, if I understand correctly, means 3G only, but even when I set it to LTE Only, for example, there's still no 4G. I've also flashed pretty much every JB modem (and some ICS ones too) I could find (thanks rwilco12!); with some, I couldn't get 3G or voice to work, but even with those that do, 4G just isn't there. No mention anywhere in the system settings menus, nothing.
My best guess at this point is that it's an APN issue, but that's just based on what I've read elsewhere. I also haven't been able to find instructions on how to modify APNs on this device, or what the APN settings really do.
Any help on this would be much appreciated – this is my first time posting, but I've benefitted greatly from the forums in the past. Hope someone here can help me out.

4G Wimax was removed from the source code in 4.3 and up (KitKat has no Wimax as well). CM10.2 is Android 4.3, that means no 4G for us unless you are using 4.2.2 (CM10.1) and below. And no there is no way around it. Google did this because no Wimax device will ever have official 4.3 so they decided to trim down the code.

Wow. So is my best bet just downgrading to 10.1? Or is there some way to put Wimax support back in?

No, no way around it. The source code is gone. Unless you know somebody who works for Google on Android and happens to have the missing source code, don't count on it. Yeah CM10.1 still has 4G Wimax.

Well okay then. Thanks for the help! Guess 10.1 it is, then.

Okay, I installed the 10.1 ROM found here. The mobile data settings now include 4G – but it still doesn't work. Modem is FL24. Any ideas for what to try next?

What do you mean by doesn't work? Doesn't turn on? Doesn't connect? Gives you an error? My suggestion is to Odin a stock ROM and make sure nothing is messed up hardware wise.

I'm not sure how to tell whether or not it turns on, but even once I enable it in the settings, I don't see a 4G icon in the status bar, either searching or connecting. It worked fine back on stock Android; I can certainly try to go back to that (although I haven't been able to find a ZIP, only .exe and I'm on Mac), but if I can stick with CM, I'd prefer to...

Go into System Settings, click on the 4G (may be under Mobile Data, it's been awhile since I've been on AOSP) and it should have a screen similar to this (screenshot is TouchWiz, but you get the point) this is how you'll be able to tell if it's turning on/scanning/connecting.

OK, that's what I thought. So I can turn it on, but no networks show up. It says Scanning, but never finds anything. I'm in downtown SF, so I think it's pretty unlikely that's the issue.

Have you had wimax before? On a touchwiz or AOSP ROM?
The wimax rollout was halfassed at best, multiple major markets never saw it cause LTE rolled out soon after.

S7 active update

Anyone else get the update??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using XDA-Developers mobile app

It's installing now. Any idea what is new/updated in this?

got the update biggest change was wifi calling not sure what else

Just got mine used and updated it today. Saw the wifi calling but didn't read the rest, I did notice mine was on the May security update and now it's on the July update so could be that.

They also removed all traces of the Oculus software that was originally on our devices. So no chance of getting VR support for these devices in the future then

wifi calling now available (eg wifi-only calling, BUT no wifi-only messaging so thats kinda stupid...)
activity zone 'compass mode' with 'map mode' (which never worked, only said 'google services is updating' removed
advanced messaging (separate balloon per text/attachment, and 'xxx is typing' is new)

Great news! The recent update 8/11/2016 fixed the dpi error we were getting. I was able to successfully change my dpi using the display scaling app. View attachment 3839483

I checked on the official site (which just recently added the phone on the site, as I've been checking often), and they don't have any info on updates or anything posted yet.
So far I noticed: WiFi Calling and Messaging, Message Scheduling (Don't think I noticed this before), Security Update, Removal of Oculus (the setup for the full Oculus Software), Advanced Messaging for AT&T customers, and Text Counter.
If we see anything else, I'll add to this, or we can hope for release notes/ change log

Anyway i can update this without att sim? Im using cricket

Should be able to

I have the s7 active and the battery life is OK not great but ok and the update installed WiFi calling and text messaging works on WiFi

The only times I've ever had good battery life on any Android device were and continue to be from custom roms and kernels. No stock rom including stock nexus roms give me good battery life. That being said, my used S7A is actually not too bad for everything stock without root and it had better with such a big battery.

That is likely due to compression in the SMS client you're using. I don't know what AT&T's limitations are on file size for MMS, but I do know third-party SMS apps allow for tweaking of that. I use Textra currently, and can set a max upload/send size in the options. I know other SMS apps have similar functionality, but I doubt the stock one does.

Another update today, looks to be only security fixes for Aug. I'm actually surprised they released it IN Aug and not months down the line. Lol
