[HOWTO] Remove vibrate icon on 2.3.5

FOR DEODEXED ROM ONLY
2.3.5 has vibrate icon that many people found annoying
here is little guide that explains how to remove it.
1. Decompile SystemUI.apk with APK Manager
2. Open the file res/vaules/public.xml and search for the ID of stat_sys_ringer_vibrate
Code:
<public type="drawable" name="stat_sys_ringer_silent" id="0x7f020086" />
<public type="drawable" name="stat_sys_ringer_vibrate" id="[b]0x7f020087[/b]" />
<public type="drawable" name="stat_sys_roaming_cdma_0" id="0x7f020088" />
3. Edit the file smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/StatusBarPolicy.smali
Look for these lines and delete them:*
Code:
const-string v5, "volume"
const v6, [b]0x7f020087[/b]
invoke-virtual {v4, v5, v6, v7}, Landroid/app/StatusBarManager;->setIcon(Ljava/lang/String;II)V
Look for these lines and delete them:*
Code:
const-string v3, "volume"
const v3, [b]0x7f020087[/b]
invoke-virtual {v2, v6, v3, v4}, Landroid/app/StatusBarManager;->setIcon(Ljava/lang/String;II)V
* Pay attention! Replace the bolded text with the ID you found on step 2
the v5 and v3 can be other numbers its depend on your firmware
4. Compile the file and replace classes.dex from place-apk-here-for-modding/unsignedSystemUI.apk to your SystemUI.apk
5. Have fun ;]

Or just use the system UI apk with all the work done floating around somewhere on the forum probably in themes section .

Have you tried this way? I overwrote with a systemUI.apk that I took from a KH3 ROM, and I just got stuck in continual force closes...

I think he mean to take modded apk from KI3 and not from previous versions

Duh, you're right, that would probably be what he meant...

i dont really want to delete it can you be more specific. i want it to work the way it used to in older roms. where it only comes up when you have the phone in vibrate only mode.. ie silent but vibrate turned on...
thanks

What I find most funny is that with every new firmware, Samsung do something worse...
first it was remove the SMS theming, so we're stuck with the crap iPhone-esque one (no wonder Apple has a problem with you), then something else, and now this!

Just tried this on KI8 but it is still there... must have done something wrong?

its working for me...
instead of const-string v5 its was const-string v1
be sure you delete it and update the classes.dex to your file

Can you post your file, please...

Hm... That left me with a vansihed statusbar on KI8 I took a backup though, so no problem.
I tried to follow your instructions in OP, but I fall off at step 3... Where the hell is that file located?
Edit: I'm on stock odexed firmware btw.

you need to use baksamli with SystemUI.odex

Sadly way too advanced for me, but thanks anyway

Alternatively you can use S-MOD - look in the themes section... There are other enhancements you might or might not want, but certainly gave me the fix I needed...
You could probably just extract SystemUI from the package and only use that, but I haven't tried it...

Somehow, after decompiling and editing the changes above, I get errors while recompiling it through APK manager.
Anyways, I found a "raw method" to fix this prob for the time being. Opened up the SystemUI.apk from my phone using WinRAR (no apk tools needed).
Browse to: res\drawable-hdpi\
Drag my png attachment into this location, overwriting the vibrate icon file.
Close winRAR (systemUI.apk) and force it back into the phone (I used RootExplorer for this).
This png file is simply a transparent file (looks black to you). You will never see this on your status bar ever again (regardless your vibrate is on or off).
One disadvantage is that the icon is physically on your status bar, so a blank space is always reserved.
Thanks tripc1 for the inspiration.
Cheers.
*edit* The image attached is invisible. just right-click and save image as

just wanted to verbally say thanks to OP for showing me where to look for this stuff. i knew it was in SystemUI but had no clue as to what was changed. smali files just have so many lines of code. cheers!

Little help plz
I followed your instructions, but the vibrate icon is still there. Here is my system.apk from Smabergs KI8, can you do it for me tripc1 ??

Hi, there!
It worked fine, thank you!
Best regards!

[HOWTO] Disable Noise Reduction...For good!

I'm one of those with the echo problem so I sent my phone to Samsung's service center, and all they did was re-install the stock ROM, and guess what, that didn't fix anything.
I searched a bit for a fix but couldn't fine a proper one, so I decided to do some digging of my own and found how to disable the Noise Reduction feature for good.
Assuming your ROM is deodexed, decompile Phone.apk and look for the PhoneUtils.smali file.
Inside it, search for:
Code:
.method static canEnableNoiseSuppression(Landroid/content/Context;)Z
Scroll down a bit till you find this part
Code:
move-result v3
if-eqz v3, :cond_2
.line 2367
const/4 v2, 0x1
Simply replace the last line above with const/4 v2, 0x0, and voila...No more annoying Noise Reduction or echo.
Notes:
- Make sure to delete the classes.dex in the keep folder during the recompiling process.
- Bear in mind that NR can't be re-enabled once the fix above is installed. You'll have to undo the changes if you want it back.

Thanks.

The fix above works fine but it doesn't work for the first call after reboot, I wanted a set and forget solution.

Detailed Problem Description and Solutions
Thanks for another possible solution.
For detailed problem DESCRIPTION & possible SOLUTIONS, see THIS thread!

it's not working for me....
i'm running Villain Rom 3 ...
i decompiled and recompiled according to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19048483&postcount=112
of course instead of part 5 there i did want you said here...
is it supposed to be ok?

I have tried it on VillianRom 3 as well as stock KJ2, worked fine on both.
If you have applied the fix in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332137
Undo all the changes. For some reason when I applied both fixes together, Noise Reduction came back.

first of all, thank you for the fast replay !
i took the original phone.apk from Villain Rom... so it doesn't contain the fix of drorsi.
i can't understand why this is not working for me
the instructions that i worked according to them are ok ? (without part 5 of course)
i'm using Apk_Manager_5.0.2 (is this version is fine?)
thanks again!

Before recompiling, make sure you delete the classes.dex in the keep folder.
If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what would be the problem to be honest. :/

i don't have resources.odex
i have the file resources.arsc
maybe this is part of the problem?

My bad, it's actually called classes.dex.

ok.
so delete classes.dex instead of resources.arsc ?
or delete both files?
i really appreciate your help!

No problem.
Doesn't matter if you delete or keep resources.arsc (That's for the res/XML files I assume, which we haven't touched). Just make sure classes.dex is gone.

thanks a lot!
its working!!
thanks again!

Hi,
I'm getting an force close after cancel the call, but the rest works fine.
First try was only delete the classes.dex and on the second i delete both of them classes.dex and resources.arsc, but still force close.
I'm using the CheckROM RevoHD™ V4 rom.

after you switch the Phone.apk its normal to have Force Close...
you need to reboot your phone and it will be ok

Thanks for the fast answer, i did already an reboot but same problem...

You have one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20287401&postcount=44

This fix seems to work ok. The only issue I have is that the fix only seems to work a few seconds into the call. For example, when I call my girlfriend, she can still hear herself talking for the first 1-3 seconds. After that amount of time the echoing stops. This only happens when I use a case (Otterbox)....Any ideas???
(btw, I am currently using CheckROM's REVO V4, not sure if this is an issue but I thought I might mention it anyway)

hello
sorry for noobish question
i have the same problem of echo and want to disable NR permanently
unfortunatly i dont know how to edit codes and cant use apk manager.
i have official stock odex 2.3.5 kj2 rom and have root access.
in system/app i have phone.apk and phone.odex
please some one can help me and tell detailed instrunction that how can i disable NR ?
i like my rom dont want to use deodex roms. is there any way ?
i realy appriciate you . its my bigest problem till i may be force to sell my phone!

[MOD][DEV][LP3/LP2]Remove "Swipe Screen to Unlock"(Multilanguage)(Noob-proof)

[MOD][DEV][LP3/LP2]Remove "Swipe Screen to Unlock"(Multilanguage)(Noob-proof)
Intro​
Okay I heard a lot of people want to disable this text from the Lockscreen, first time it may be useful! But then it just becomes plain Ugly..
So with a little of research, I have come to see where this text comes from, and with the knowledge that the lockscreen is built from classes inside the android.policy.jar I searched there a little and found what I was looking for.
So let's do it! First of all, if you don't know about smali and baksmali this tutorial contains the commands, but it will still be a little hard for beginners so I included a ZIP for flashing.
Needed Resources​You need the JRE to run the jars, found here
You will also need the smali and baksmali jars.
Smali: here
Baksmali: here
[This is for Windows, Although I use Ubuntu] I'll also make things easier for you, here download my simple scripts to make the usage of smali and baksmali easier: here
The Process​
*Now we will use baksmali to revive the code to a low-level language (hard to understand, not like java which is a high-level language) called smali.
*So once you have all resources extract Smali.jar/Baksmali.jar/Smali.bat/Baksmali.bat to any folder you like.
*Extract the android.policy.jar found in the system/framework directory inside the ROM, to the same folder.
*Now we need to open a cmd (or terminal for linux) window pointing to the folder, an easy way to do this in windows if I remember correctly, was Hold Shift and then press right button on the folder, and select Open command window here.
*Once you do this, let's get to work. In your cmd type this command:
Code:
baksmali android.policy.jar -o extracted
and don't close the cmd, just minimize it as we will need it later on.
NOTE: Basically, this command extracts the classes.dex (which is the code) found inside android.policy.jar and then reverses it to the smali language, then moves the resulting code to the directory named extracted.
NOTE 2: This is the same as extracting the classes.dex using an archiver (like 7-zip) and using this command: baksmali classes.dex -o extracted. The one above is a faster way to do it.
*Now you will notice the newly created folder called extracted. Open it then go to: com/android/internal/policy/impl. You'll see a lot of files (Don't freak out ).
*Now find the file named CircleLockScreen.smali and open it using any text editor, I prefer notepad++ for windows. (Don't mind other files sharing the same name with a $ and a number at the end, these are called sub-classes)
*Now we need to find the chunk of code which sets the text to "Swipe screen to unlock" and delete it completely.
So using the find functionality (CTRL + F) find this code
Code:
.line 178
iget-object v5, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/CircleLockScreen;->mHelpText:Landroid/widget/TextView;
const v6, 0x10405f6
invoke-virtual {v5, v6}, Landroid/widget/TextView;->setText(I)V
And Simply Delete it!
*We're done so now we should compile the code to classes.dex again. To do this go back to your cmd you had before and type this code
Code:
smali extracted -o classes.dex
*A new classes.dex file will be created (will overwrite the old one if you had an old classes.dex), so Simply open android.policy.jar with an archiver (like winrar) and drag the classes.dex and drop it inside.
NOTE: If it asks you to overwrite the classes.dex choose yes.
And we are ready to go, now you have your android.policy.jar you can try it by pushing it to /system/framework and rebooting.
You can also use it inside your ROMs
For LP3 ZIP Click here! Many thanks to Krendelrus!
Happy Modding!

Probably not. Public number must match with the one in framework-res assigned to the string "swipe screen to unlock"
The guide is very clear, just need to follow it ;-)
As soon as i get home i will attach the one for LPQ
To do this I will need 1minute ;-)

If you can find a way to push the edited android.policy.jar to /system/framework
then yes.

Thanks to the LegendK95 for the great manual
Here I attached LP3 modified android.policy.jar - enjoy (don't forget to rename this file to android.policy.jar before pushing to system)

i try manual method for see what happens but i haven't the ".line 178..." so the .zip which i flash do the job, but nothing happens on my lockScreen...
Here the code line 177 to 179
Code:

[GUIDE] Battery Percantage On Statusbar

Hey guys, I want to share some tutorial to show battery percentage on statusbar.
First, you have to know how to compile/decompile, and you need notepad++ too
1. Decompile your Settings.apk
2. Go to smali\com\android\settings, open DisplaySettings.smali with notepad++
3. Find
Code:
iget-object v0, v0, Lcom/android/settings/DisplaySettings;->mDisplayBatteryLevel:Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;
4. You will see this code above
Code:
invoke-virtual/range {v17 .. v18}, Landroid/preference/PreferenceScreen;->removePreference(Landroid/preference/Preference;)Z
5. Replace with
Code:
# invoke-virtual/range {v17 .. v18}, Landroid/preference/PreferenceScreen;->removePreference(Landroid/preference/Preference;)Z
6. Save
7. Compile, and push to your phone
You can enable the percentage by check the setting in display setting
If you doesn't understand about compile/depompile you can download my Settings.apk here, and push it to system/app

One question. We don't have settings.apk as far as I now. We have SecSettings.apk and the one you attached shows parsing error and is only 40kb. So should we make changes to SecSettings.apk?
Edit: Nevermind. I edited SecSettings.apk and it worked.

Uploaded settings are bad, that is why you cannot decompile it. It should be uploaded to an external source, like gdrive, since it is a fairly large file (more than 20mb).

[MOD][GUIDE] Disable Google Location consent dialog when enabling network location

Hi, i find so annoying having to always tap "agree" when enabling Network location checkbox (i automatically enable it with a task together with GPS, when i need it) so I managed to obtain the same result of this Xposed module http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-disable-google-location-consent-t2449926, modifing directly the involved file system/app/NetworkLocation.apk of my JB 4.2.2 AOKP based rom (as in AOKP, CM roms you can't install Xposed Framework). tested 3 days on my JB 4.2.2 and using the app "Location test" from Google Play store. I'm sharing my knowledge.
---Always: test it yourself, at your own risk. I don't know if there are memory leaks (don't know exactly what they are but read about them ) or something else like unpredictable crashes. I'm not a developer and i just make small changes to smali code usually---
Instructions:
I took some hints from the source code of this Module and made changes to NetworkLocation.apk (thanks to the authors)
I used the tool dex2jar (https://code.google.com/p/dex2jar/downloads/list) (i find it useful for editing system apks).
Extract it in a folder.
It contains some batch files, you drag and drop files/folders into them and they make their work.
You can also use Apktool, if you prefer (be sure that the file decompiles without errors).
First of all: open NetworkLocation.apk taken from your rom and extract classes.dex (use 7-zip)
Drag and drop classes.dex into d2j-dex2jar.bat, a .jar file will be created. Then drag and drop the created .jar file into d2j-jar2jasmin.bat, a new jasmin folder will be created. Now open this folder and go to com-google-android-location and find 2 files: ConfirmAlertActivity.j and NetworkLocationProvider.j
These jasmin (.j) files are similar to .smali files,
Open them as text and edit as below (be sure to find and edit the correct pieces of code)(edit only the green numbers) :
A) ConfirmAlertActivity.j
1)
(.....)
iconst_1 (instead of iconst_0)
putfield com/google/android/location/ConfirmAlertActivity/mAgreed Z
(.....)
[smali code for those who are using apktool:
const/4 v0, 0x1
iput-boolean v0, p0, Lcom/google/android/location/ConfirmAlertActivity;->mAgreed:Z ]
2)

L0:

Now do the inverse process: drag and drop the modified jasmin folder into d2j-jasmin2jar.bat, then the new .jar file into jar2dex.bat.
You will obtain a new classes-jar-blablabla-jasmin.dex file. Rename it classes.dex and use it to replace the classes.dex in the original NetworkLocation.apk (use 7-zip to open the.apk, Winrar might give problems).
Now you have your new NetworkLocation.apk without location consent dialog (automatically agreed). When you replace the old .apk, be sure that the new one has the same permissions of the old one.
I'm attaching the modified NetworkLocation.apk (version 1.1.10) of my android version: Rootbox JellyBean 4.2.2
These instructions won't work with Kitkat but should work at least with android 4.3.
Hope this is useful to someone that can't install this Xposed Module but want the same result!

Would you mind adding the .method headers where the 3 edits are located?
Or please provide stock apk so that I may diff the changes.
The code I am trying to adapt this to is for 4.4.2 and it is very different.
Tnx - TD

Nevermind, I figured it out. Here is the guide I did for 4.4.2 TW for the Galaxy S5.

:good: Sorry for the delay, happy you solved it for kitkat!

Any more info on how to do this on 4.4, the thread was deleted.

All of my 4.4.2 guide were moved here:
GALAXY S5 UNIFIED MODS THREAD - GUIDES & LINKS

Thanks for the info. I am trying to reapply to HTC one x but I don't think I have the GmsCore.apk. I guess I'll keep searching.
Edit- I actually found PrebuiltGmsCore.apk that might be the equivalent

Has there been any method for those of us on the Galaxy S 5 lollipop 5.0? I did download an Xposed module, but it didn't work since it was only for 4.2.2. Thanks!

Not that I know of. You could try the method in my guides thread for kitkat but I haven't even bothered since then since I think its a google play services edit and that updates now and then which means you'd have to keep doing the hack everytime it takes an update.

Thanks for the info tdunham, as it helps to understand the mechanics behind it. It sounds like this could be an ideal Xposed module, especially if it could detect the play services update, then 're-disable' the warning.
