Wow great work!
Though I wish the videos had higher quality (720p) so it would be clearer, but I wont complain since it seems that you put much effort in this

Thank you Nokia7Vista-this is GREAT present for Xmas

very very thank bro hihi oh my god
Now my second try to point out an obvious mistake that obviously nobody else noticed: If you overwrite the whole META-INF folder with the one of a theme, you could upload the theme in the first place as this folder contains the updater-script.
@OP: Can you please upload your update.zip so that we can see if it works?
OT: It's very interesting that your posts get moved to a troll thread if you point out a mistake.
I found a supposed "safe" list of stock apps to delete and foolishly started firing them in the bin only to find that the messaging icon had not only vanished from the home tray but the option to replace it with a new shortcut had too.
I guess one of the apps deleted was responsible for that. Can any of you boffins figure out which i need and where to get it? The dangers of rooting sigh.......
I use handicant messages so perhaps a 3rd party applications could suffice. Next time either make a nandroid backup or use titanium pro.

Thanks for replying but im sorry. Maybe im a noob. I did make a nandroid but a couple of months ago and i wanted my system the way it was the other day. Dont know how to use ftfs or how they would particularly apply here. If i was to extract a copy of the current system id still be missing the messaging app wouldnt i? Is there not simpler apk method maybe or something that doesnt involve code/commands.
Just go on the market and download go sms or handcent

Ok , what's your firmware ?
Sent from my R800i using XDA
Using Go Sms and its a massive improvement. Thanks for the help everyone.
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.

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
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.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
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!

On Jovys rom I posted a link with modified framework and files that will allow tethering if you are using the MK2 modems.

You should be able to just overwrite the two that are there.
I typically delete thme out and then write the new ones and change permissions.
Reboot and it will read the new files.

Much obliged!!
Hey southsidexz, thanks a million!! xda is an entire universe of information and I would have truly burned the midnight oil looking for this to no avail. Gonna try it out now. So far that's my only issue with infamous 9, it seemed that wifi tethering worked natively on 8.0. Again, many many thanks!
Your welcome
Your welcome. Always glad to help people around.
On another note I was dumb enough to rename the framework to old before I replaced it so my Phone got killed..... However thanks to cabloomi and his Recovery Image to .tar.md5 odin flash, I was able to flash CWM latest recovery so it could read my MicroSD card and then flash the zip I created that flashed the framework file. (Thanks to ScatteredHell)
If in case someone else does it... and doesn't want to re-flash the rom or restore old backup.
You can flash Framework via recovery, following this thread instrucitons to get the framework apk into a flashable format for recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840098
If in case you have a recovery that won't read your external SD card (like I did) you can use this link to flash any recovery via ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281287
(Side Note: if you get errors, please see post #23 on the link above, it provides the solution if you get errors)
Note:I am not responsible for damaging or further damaging your phone, I am just providing help/alternate solutions. Your phone is your responsibility
I follow the steps above and got back up running.

Just to make this easy I had the same problem on replacing framework, too. Then I searched on some other forums here and found out you can copy or move the framework apk into system folder and fix permissions then move that framework I to the framework folder to replace over the existing apk and just reboot. Just make sure to make a nandroid before doing anything just incase something goes wrong.
Thanks
Thanks Carlos2200,
I would've taken that route but sadly I couldn't get into the system folder. I wasn't able to do a nandroid restore as my SD card got messed up and the backup was gone.
Definitely for anyone, make sure you have a good Nandroid before anything.
I will update that the method I mention above does remove all your accounts only. So you will have to re-add them.

An alternative....
For those who don't care to bother with the framework files in the event that 3minit is updated to work with 4.3, I came across an app on the play store called "wi-fi tether router" that seems to work, though I haven't a clue why it does. Changing the user agent on the browser renders it successful it seems. Good luck to all!
Does anyone have an installable APK or flashable zip file for the stock note 8 s-note app?
Alternatively how do I pull if off the stock 4.2.2 ROM myself?

I have posted a file for side loading, just search for it in the Q&A threads.
You do not have to flash to make it work.
Your the second one to request such a thing, and makes me wonder why these things are getting deleted when they have no remove feature in settings.
I think people going overboard "debloating" and or freezing/uninstalling to much with TB
Anywho you could try to use 7zip and extract the apk from a flashable Rom
Hoping this helps

Thanks for the responses. This has nothing to do with de-bloat or even missing APKs.
I have been using YKK's 4.3 TW Note 3 ported ROM, and his ROM only has the Note version of s-Notes which does not have speech recognition and formula match in it.
I would like to grab the APK from the stock ROM S-Note and see if I can install and use it with his ROM. That is all.
Gooberdude, Is this the thread you mean?
