[FIX] PhantomVoicemail - *86 - Sprint - AOSP/MIUI

Hey guys, I come from the EVO 4G (supersonic) forums and have experienced this unclearable, unfixable, *86 PhantomVoicemail issue enough, when running AOSP/MIUI/Sense 3.0+ ROMs to know how annoying it can be. A fix in the Phone.apk smali has been found for this and I'd be glad to fill requests.
Dj21o has brought it to my attention that not only the EVO, but the E4GT and probably many other Sprint phones can have this issue. Not everyone can go through the trouble of deactivating and reactivating the phone to fix it permanently, so here I am, ready to fill requests for flashable zips that fix the issue. This fix is ROM specific so as ROMs are being updated the fix will be updated as well, if devs want to implement the fix into their ROMs that would also be very helpful, so just post the link to the ROM you want fixed and I'd be more thank glad to help fix the issue. Post the DL link the the ROM or the ROM thread and sit tight.
NOTE: If using an ICS ROM/Recovery then you must wipe Dalvik-Cache, this ensures ROM stability. (I usually just mod the Phone.apk right after downloading the ROM, so I usually forget this step)
I will add fixes (all are flashable) the the OP as I fill requests. Check back to see if your request has been filled.​

Thanks a ton, many people will appreciate this.

Thanks! This would be great to keep alive everybody, so far I've fixed over 20+ ROM's.

Hello thanks for the fix. Would you be able to make an apk for CM9 alpha 3 that has the phantom voicemail fix but also works at 160 dpi? The one included with the rom crashes at 160 dpi. Thanks either way, if you can or you can't.

You guys should get in touch and maybe combine efforts.

Oh, and you should also warn people about flashing your install zips on ics recoveries.
The fix you've shared are smali Java edits. Since they are, you'd need to wipe dalvik so the new classes.dex can be created. This wiping could potentially cause bricks when using any ics recoveries available right now.

I've used the apk with no problem. Change the permissions rw-r--r-- with root explorer and push to system/app.

I was referring to using the install zips posted in the OP. Caution should be used with these.
Manually moving the apk as you have indicated, you should also clear phone.apk data from the settings/app menu, delete the file with *phone.apk* in the name from cache/dalvik-cache, and then reboot.

Although I personally have only experienced this right after a brand new AOSP flash (it goes away after first reboot for me) I'm sure this will make many people very happy. Thanks for offering your services here!

Good looking out there...you're right about that. I'm very flash-a-phobic when it comes to doing anything while running a AOSP ICS rom.

The four times that I have had to do it, I literally changed permissions to the same in system/ app, copy and paste, reboot. And I have not had any problems. The OP knows what he is doing, since I have clearly done it four times. Make a backup if you feel more safe lol.

Dude, I've made this mod also for several e4gt aosp roms. So has teamERA, people over at epic og cm9, and the guy over at evo3d that probably was the originator of this mod.
If you edit the classes.dex file in phone.apk, then the dalvik cache needs to be rebuilt to update for this change. It's basic android operation for deodexed files. If it works for you not to do anything with dalvik, then cool. But it's not 100% permanent fix unless that dalvik is updated.
Look, I'm glad the OP wants to help out and offer modded phone.apk here. But it's irresponsible to post flashable zip files for ics roms, for the e4gt, and not provide a warning in the OP.

That's what a reboot is for, to rebuild the cache. And everyone knows that you don't just flash the zip by itself. You have to do the complete ROM, gapps (if needed), and then the vmail fix. OP doesn't even have our phone, so don't be a jerk about it. PM him about putting in in the first post.

Sorry I didn't mean to be a douche, either. You do have a point about flashing, and a lot of people will probably screw up if they are new to Android. But yeah let's keep it positive in here lol.

Hey OP, can I make one more request for when you have time. I like running my phone at very low dpi and the lowest the e4gt can go without system ui crashing is 129 dpi. Could you make a phone.apk with ghost voicemail fix that works at that low density [for cm9 alpha 3 rom]? Thank you very much. And to the other guys, you can just extract the package and then move the phone.apk using a file explorer and set permissions.

Why do you need to zip align every time.Need to zipalign an app only once.
anyways here is the script.
Unzip it and copy it to /system/etc/init.d and give it executable permissions. Look at the permissions of the other script and make this one the same.
For V6 supercharge ... look into the V6 supercharg post for guide.
There are lots of ROM creating Guides. Just search in XDA forums and you will get plenty.

What you dont understand is that its not so simple to follow a guide to make your own rom, because then its not really yours. Start off with getting someones else's rom and doing little mods to it. Just think: what would make the rom better? Say for example yopu might do some speed improvements, then maybe beats audio, then maybe some android 4.2 apps, etc. Once you have enough new things then you can make your own thread.
PS: googling stuff always helps

Then what are stock based roms? Look at UHD, sparta charge, x gamer, acroniam, jelly sandwhich. They're just stock that's been modded, tweaked and rooted.

But they´re still defferent to a stock rom with some mods of the modding section.
U cant pick 5 mods and call it a new custom rom.

Check out the ROM "cyano bean" its a entirely different ROM to cm10 yet look at my quote:

Hi, this is a ROM heavily based on the work of FXP
I wanted to share the ROM I put together for my own personal use (so I didn't have to flash lots of individual things) and wanted to share it with the community, as it is a very fast ROM (no thanks to me)
So to start with I am no developer, I have not made any of the things included in this ROM apart from adding a few tweaks to the build.prop
I merely compiled lots of different things and put them into this in the hope people in the community will enjoy

[REQ] Multi Window all apps Mod Odex

Can anyone get this working for me? I've tried and i just cant do it..Im getting sick of restoring when I fail..Something about odex roms that my phone loves is the reason why I would rather not Use a deodexed rom..Pretty please with sprinkles on top.

Seriously...I'll donate for it if I have to..

Ok. Here is a trick.
Anything odex.... When installing a non-odex mod, el work if you first manually delete the odex file of that "app".
So... replacing keyboard you see in the system folder there is a keyboard apk (Samsungime.apk I believe) there is also a Samsungime.odex. If you delete the odex file or even rename it, then when switching the apk it should work correctly.
90% of the time it works every time

Brianbaker, you silly cracker. Ive been hooked on odex roms too. I find deodexed to be not as smooth and not as snappy. Don't know why. There's something the deodex does to the rom the makes it run not as smooth. But most people are jyst too slow in the brain to notice it so they will argue you that deodex is faster or the same. I would love to get a idex mod for all apps aswell. Brianbaker will donate double for me. Thxs brian.

Just use the deodexed rom and deodexed mod then odex your rom after you install all your mods.

You know what...I was actually thinking about this as I was in bed last night wondering why no one cares about making an Odex version for us very few Odex lovers... will have to figure this one out today..I've actually already loaded up a deodexed rom last night..
@smellymouse what's up man..I was getting desperate for this mod that I almost posted I'd donate 100 bucks..I won't got that far for a silly mod . But I will donate more than the usual donation if it means I and other Odex users can enjoy this feature. ..Now...off to learn how to Odex my rom.

id like some tips on this because i believe Titanium wont Odex the framework,just the system files..I made what i thought was a good attempt at it this morning and my device didnt boot..I did it through ADB method..I'd really like to odex this thing...Im not a complete idiot,just about 27%....I like the process of learning on my own but im in a pinch for time and having to keep restoring after failing is driving me nuts.

my Rom is odexed and has that mod in it, you're more than welcome to take it out and use it.
And you keep mentioning there's so few odexed users out there. I've had thousands of dl's of my odexed ROMs since I put em up a little over a month ago. Just saying its not that much of a secret
Also, at the bottom of the OP of my Rom is a good link to a Tut of how to odex individual things

I ran your rom for a day or so(loved it) but personally like the stock look..I then pulled the Flashbarservice apk and flashbarservice odex files and pushed them to my device running the stock Odexed Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1981668 with busy box installed and a stock/modded kernel..After pushing those files to my phone i get no action from pressing and holding the back button(nothing pops up)..I did set permissions as well..Is there something else i need to be moving over?
I was happy when i seen your rom and that it was odexed..But the stock look is what im trying to achieve..Loved every single thing about your rom but everything was too dark lol.I work outside and its hard to see in the sun with so much black...
Your rom with a stock theme would be the beezKnees for me..But i'd never ask a developer to help me with eliminating something from their rom i didn't like...I have the "if you dont like it,move on" attitude.

My odex is rusty. But last I checked, the odex files are built specifically from several core framework files. If these core framework files are modified/changed between roms, the odex files will not be interchangeable between those roms. Perhaps this is why slesh's odex files are not working for you.
I agree with evil's suggestion of deodexed > odex. Take a stock deodexed rom, add the mods you want, then odex the framework/system. The odex files you make should work for all stock roms of the same release you started with.

This is where I'm currently at..trying to learn how to odex this rom I'm currently using..I've tried OdexMe which doesn't work for me and I've tried the adb method which left my device at the Samsung screen..Willing to walk me through how to odex what I'm running? I'd love to learn but every method I've find searching on Google has led me into boot loops..Also everything I'm finding is for ICS build and such.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

You need to odex the core framework files 1st before doing the rest of the framework and system/app files. I'm not familiar with odexme, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't deal with the framework.
Last odexing I've done was back on gb, so I not going to be able to help much. See if you can find a jb odex script tool. Or check out links in slesh's sig for more info. Good luck.

I was just referring to the services jar if he wanted it, they will work if he's on LJC. And most of the mod doesn't have anything to do with a theme, so the theming of my Rom luckily shouldn't have much to do with whether the mod works for you. You could use 7zip to drag and drop stock images into the zip with my odexed flashbar service apk, before flashing

I would still like to learn how to do this so i'll just keep reading as much information I can..As for right now though im back on Stock Odex with a stock Kernel and im willing to pay $50 to get a working version of the MultiWindow mod..I don't need any tweaks for battery life in a rom or extra speed..The more things get tinkered with usually leads to other quirks..Don't take what i'm saying as hostility,its actually more of frustration...
So,any Devs..$50 if you're up for it.

well, i mean I could just odex the mod that's up in the dev section. It'll look stock but it'll work. you just want odexed multi app mod so you can have all apps?
Edit: honestly though. on second thought, I always appreciate donations but don't want to work for a "bounty" so to speak. There are odex scripts that could pretty easily do it for you

It's not a donation man..I just want to pay you for your talents..I'm simply looking for the same mod that works on deodex to work for odex stock with no bells and whistles. .stock rom that is up in the development section that has deodexed and odex roms (linked a few pages up)..just I want it to work on odex
You can even put it in the Dev section for anyone else who wants it afterwards..It's your mod i'm just over trying to figure it out and i'm on call and cant afford to have my phone down every time i fail and have to reflash a back up..But if you feel its not right to do it then it's entirely up to you.

[MOD][SlimBean 7.5] 45 Steps Volume mod for fine-tuning media volume

for now, SlimBean version 7.5 only
45 Steps Volume Mod
1. Download this framework.jar and paste into /system/framework/ using a file manager with root access (e.g. ES File explorer, root explorer, etc)
2. Make sure permissions are set to rw-r-r
3. Reboot
Enjoy!

Out of curiosity, do you have the source of what you changed, and what exactly was changed before the framework.jar was compiled?
I wouldn't recommend installing an unknown compiled replacement for the framework.jar without understanding what exactly was changed and how, especially as it may impact other functions of the rom depending on what exactly was changed. Also this mod might not work after 7.5 as there's going to be a major framework change in the next week(lies).

I'll create a new one when a new version of SlimBean releases if people want it.

I'm curious if the framework.jar differs from device to device (I'm not an android developer so it's not within the scope of my knowledge). Because personally I haven't had a sound volume problem with Mako/N4... now the Nexus 7 on the other hand, gotta crank that baby up +12 decibels in DSPManager just to sound loud enough.
It's of course one of the reasons I asked about source, because if it's something minor here or there and just re-compiled for a specific, that would be easier to deployed in my opinion.

Here's the tutorial I followed.

Know what would be really handy, if you know how to do it.
An Aroma installer (like I did for my sd-ext/dataswap enabler in my sig).
Basically package two versions of the framework.jar, modified and unmodified. Flashing the zip in recovery will ask if you want to apply the mod, or uninstall the mod, and replace the framework.jar with what you want (or alternatively two zips for apply and restore).

Youre right. I thought about it and concluded I'm not handy enough to create a flashable zip let alone an Aroma installer like the Beanstalk rom guy did in the Android Development forums. I'm thinking it that it may be possible to just do it all via flashable scripts for EVERY rom instead of just slimbean 7.5 but then again, I don't have any training with code. I'm now thinking my mod doesn't deserve a thread of its own lol (especially if people don't trust random files - and they rightfully shouldn't). But, nice looking out!

Technically mods are supposed to have a thread of their own, rather than just tagged in a rom thread.
That way anyone who has questions or issues can discuss them in the thread specific to that mod
Besides, a thread of it's own makes it seem a bit more um... legitimate.

Six hundred and something views only 3 Thanks SMH! Come on people we have to do a better job at showing appreciation, this man asks for nothing! the least we can do is say Thanks... For such a handy tool.

does anybody have a list of what is safe to block/disable?

Is there a good debloat block list for the spr note 4? Not lookin to remove but a good block list for those that have used it before would be cool.

Sure does!

The Op specifies KK only though

For lollipop, the lines for deleting /system/app/xx.apk and /system/app-priv/xx.apk would have to be changed to delete folders rather than apk's. Then there's applications that changed names.
As far as compatibility from update to update, Samsung and Sprint are fond of changing apps from system/app to /system/priv-app or adding revs to the titles. With that said, this is not compatible update to update and especially not lollipop.
You basically have to look at your ROM system folders and go line by line comparing the updater-script correcting as you go until it's right. Then look for apps that may have changed names, more bloat, etc.
I like to take this script, add mods and customize it so I can have something to flash if needing to go back to stock tar.
