Hi,
I wish to permanently use the "Restrict background data" feature ( under settings->data usage ) on my JB rom, but the problem is that when I enable that feature, I always get a notification, asking me to "touch to remove" that feature...
I don't wish to do that, even by mistake! I want that notification GONE completely, but to retain the "restrict" feature...
I understand, it's possible to permanently disable notifications, by altering "Settings.apk" somehow - but I don't know what and where to change ( wish file inside that apk ).
I used "apktool" to unpack the apk, but again - which file should I change ? what value/line should I delete ?
My rom is VJ's AOKP v2.2, so "Settings.apk" file is from that rom's version.
Any help would be great :highfive::fingers-crossed:
EDIT:
Guess it has something to do with "DataUsageSummary.smali" (after unpacking the Settings apk -> smali\com\android\settings):
BUT WHAT SHOULD I CHANGE ?!
please reply

Seriously ? Not even the smallest hint you ppl can give me ?:crying::crying:
Can't you even redirect me to the most prevalent sub-forum, here at XDA, for that kind of question ?:silly:

Something called the search function; it's really useful.
You can't just expect others to answer your questions promptly. As for your questions, that's part of the android system and if you want to modify it, go ahead. It's not a notification because you can't swipe it away; it's an ongoing thing. SO if you want to go on with that kind of attitude, you can try it yourself.

I really do appreciate your reply man - even though I googled xda from top to button.
( there are thread about modifying various stuff inside settings.apk / SystemUI.apk - but NON are about that "restriction notification" i'm talking about. )
I've seen this thread in the unread threads of XDA app and although I don't use that feature, I got curious to try it out. So I've quickly put together an Xposed module that removes the notification.
You have to install Xposed framework. Get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Also, install my module from the attachment, enable it and do a soft reboot in Xposed.
It works for me on my Galaxy R with CM10.1 and I assume it will work for you too, as the module doesn't change the Settings, but com.android.server.net.NetworkPolicyManagerService class. If you have any problems, post a logcat and /data/xposed/debug.log
Update: For a while now it's already available in Xposed modules repository: http://repo.xposed.info/module/org.adam77root.removerestrictednotification.

WOW thnx... but just a few moments before you posted your message I to fulfill that wish of mine... I SOLVED IT !
Although I admit - I DO NOT KNOW if I disabled all of the "restrict background" feature, but I DO managed to enable the "restrict backgound data" checkbox ( then press OK at the popup ) WITHOUT getting any notification at all !
HOW TO DISABLE NOTIFICATION ALERT FOR "RESTRICT BACKGROUND DATA" ( under settings-> data usage-> options )( I tried that fix on JB 4.2.2 ( to be specific: AOKP VJ Jelly Bean v2.2), BUT I guess it works on all JB 4.2.2 )1. copy "services.jar" from "/system/framework/services.jar" to your computer.
MAKE A SAFE COPY OF THIS FILE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO YOU.
2. extract the jar file using Winrar or any compatible app.
3. using MultiTool decompile the "classes.dex" file as instructed by Multitool's thread.
4. open with any txt editor ( I used Notepad++ ) the file "NetworkPolicyManagerService.smali" under "decompiled\classout\com\android\server\net\" ( which is a sub-folder of Mulitool's folder that you've previously extracted )
5. A . search for:
Code:
invoke-interface/range {v0 .. v6}, Landroid/app/INotificationManager;->enqueueNotificationWithTag(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;ILandroid/app/Notification;[II)V
delete completely that line or add "# " in the start of that line ( which is what I did ) so that line looks like that:
Code:
# invoke-interface/range {v0 .. v6}, Landroid/app/INotificationManager;->enqueueNotificationWithTag(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;ILandroid/app/Notification;[II)V
B. search for:
Code:
invoke-virtual {v0, p1}, Ljava/util/HashSet;->add(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z
add "# " in the start of that line ( which is what I did ) or delete completely that line
6. SAVE that smali file that you've just edited.
7. using Multitool, recompile the classes.dex file.
if everything went good, you'll have classes.dex file under MultiTool's sub-folder named "output"
8. using Winrar, open "services.jar", replace the current "classes.dex" with the recompiled one that you've made.
9. copy the remade "services.jar" to your device(using adb etc ):
Code:
adb push "services.jar" /system/framework/services.jar
10. chmod "services.jar" to "-rw-r--r--", meaning you need to:
Code:
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/services.jar
11. restart your device, and It should rebuilt your dalvik cache.
ONLY if it didn't, I guess you should delete "/data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]" file, reboot again so your OS will create that dalvik-cache file.
I'll be happy to know if anyone can verify that indeed my fix just remove his/her notification, but retain the ability to disable background data. THANKS !
Sorry I doubted you. You are a genius!
Many thanks!!
Adam77Root, thank you so much for that module! I can confirm it working on my Galaxy Note 2. That notification was unbelievably annoying.
gps3dx, thank you too for this thread and your fix. While I didn't try it because I already have Xposed framework installed and I'd rather use the less invasive approach, I am still grateful for your seeing a problem, addressing it, and proactively doing something about it. My respects to you. I searched around quite a bit and came across many other forums on different sites where people had this same problem unanswered. I hope they find their way to this thread.
To the above poster who jumped down the OP's throat for bumping this topic 4 days after it went unanswered, obviously you didn't do any search on this topic yourself. I did. And until this thread, I found nothing really useful. And lo-and-behold, someone was kind enough to actually do something useful instead of pointlessly sitting there and criticizing. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Rudely telling someone to 'check their attitude and search' is not helpful- it's just rude and pointless. Just FYI.

mybe it is because you run JB 4.1.2 not 4.2.2 like I do, plus mybe you're running some custom framework ( it is not AOKP as I suspect from you sig )

this was working fine on my aokp jb mr1 Milestone 2, but stopped working when i installed the nigthly nightly (jb-mr1)2013-08-21 (wich fixes my camera issues and soe other stuff)
is there anything i can try myself to fix this or is it just incopatible with that nightly? (its still 4.2)
I'm using Lenovo phone, 4.2.1 Version. In "services.jar" I see only folder "META-INF" and file "MANIFEST.MF". I tried to rename the file to classes.dex then using MultiTool decompile but I receive: "Unexpected top-level exception:java.lang.RuntimeException:bad magic value...etc"
So what's wrong, where to find classes.dex? Someone?
new edit: Thanks a lot for all the replies, also Xposed framework+module didn't work.

I'm almost certain I don't have the original files anymore. Since it's pretty simple, you can either decompile the apk or check Android source of the class I mentioned in the post you quoted. Only one function is replaced with returning null.
Edit: Just checked, the function is enqueueRestrictedNotification.

rooting?
do i have to root my phone to do this? will the module work without rooting? i'm new to playing with codes on my phone but I have done a lot of work with linux before so i can understand the process, i've just never rooted my phone before. i'd really like to get rid of this notification and the "usb connectivity" app's notification: internal storage &SD card- internal storage &SD card connected to PC. I mean, do i really need a notification to tell me that my phone is connected to my PC?
that last request isn't as important, at least if i accidentally click on that i'm not turning on background data use!

Hello,
I've seen many threads implying that editing your build.prop file is simple, yet many other threads exclaiming that people have bricked their devices.
Has anyone successfully edited their SGH-T989/D phones to emulate the SGH-1337M? I have an odd reason, but I don't want to screw up.
Here is a link to the Galaxy S4 (I9500) build prop:

How simple is this process? Which lines should I edit? What is your recommended editor app?
Thanks, I'd rather ask now than beg for solutions later.:fingers-crossed:

Maybe 'emulate' is the wrong word, but I am under the impression that I can swap the model number by changing the ro.product.model in the build.prop file. I want Google to think my SIIx is an S4 so I can access advanced apps that aren't optimized for my SIIx.
Here is a guide I found for simpletons like myself, but I just want to see if anyone else has done so successfully.

I got impatient and changed the model number in the Build.prop and the phone did not brick. The System Settings on the phone does in fact confirm the updated model number as being SGH-1337M but the Play store hasn't updated the device yet so I can't confirm if my 'illusion' has completely worked.:laugh:

I changed my build.prop to make my LG L70 work with my Gear 2 watch. The watch got boring so I sold it, now I am looking to switch it back. I copied the original and tried to delete the modded one and it did not allow me. I tried to manually edit build.prop and it wouldnt save.
Any of you know how to revert?

yess...
if you have rooted your phone and then edited your build.prop with a change in android version....
then you have to root it again, and then go through the same process....
This is for AT&T version.
This is a modified LGSystemUI.apk from the latest version of our rom which currently is 10p. that will remove the qslide section and the brightness slider from the notification window. This is something I very much desired to do and it works perfectly on my phone so I thought I would share it with like minded folks here at XDA.
This IS NOT my code. All credit should go to superpulosu for this and his original thread can be found at the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2605111
Following his directions it is also possible to remove the quick settings menu from the notification window if you so desire.
As always I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE for your phone. This IS NOT a flashable zip. Extract to ext. sd card and use a file explorer to rename your LGSystemUI.apk located in system/app to LGSystemUI.apk.bak and copy this modified version to the same location. Set permissions to r w rr reboot and no more qslide apps or brightness slider in your notification panel.

So here are the steps I follow to use the Sprint LG G2 (ls980) with any rom on Tmobile or AT&T in the US
*This thread is specifically for the LS980. Some of the information might apply to other phones, but I can't say for sure.
***Caveats of using this phone Tmobile or AT&T:
-LTE doesn't work. Missing lte bands. Highest we get is hspa+.
-Haven't tested Custom Kernels
-instead of 4g or LTE logo, it says gsm all of the time (paid app that will safely change icons without system crashes linked below)
-Had to use 3rd party app to change radio and apn settings (see below)
-Wifi on stock 4.4.2 didn't turn on twice in the last 2 weeks when coming from a wakeup. Had to reboot to fix.
Again, I did not do any work. I have only compiled this information from various forums. Most of this work comes from cloudyfa, the find from pvinodnayak, the unlock from ysabxe and countless members in the sprint unlock forum and the old sprint build prop forum before the unlock was released. I have just compiled information. Thank op's for their work.
There are multiple ways to use the Sprint LS980 on Tmobile or AT&T. Before we get into them, please do the following:
- root phone with ioroot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522346
- use autorec to install TWRP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
*If you notice now that when you screen goes to sleep, and when you try to activate the screen it shows a whole bunch of white lines, boot into recovery and install the G2PanelSwap. [/url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792844[/url]
There are 2 ways to accomplish using our phone. (be sure to scroll down to the bottom to see the 2nd way. You might want to to this instead of the first way.)
1st Way - Use your phone on Stock Sprint Software
***If you are already on the ZVC firmware, people have noted problems using the following instructions..There are constant system crashes. It is recommended to restore back to an earlier version, make the changes below, then take the ota upgrade. You can go back to stock by following this guide.

If you prefer to stay on ZVC, please follow jsergio123's guide found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52915223&postcount=814
1-setup phone and Download root browser
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
and a rar extractor.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rarlab.rar
2-Download the ls980simfinalunlock.rar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133
3-extract the rar and copy the carrier contents and use root.explorer to over write the files in the root carrier folder.
4- Download Rom toolbox lite
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox
and use it to Update the build.prop (reboot between each. You can turn on airplane mode in the meantime to stop the system ui from crashing)

*After trying numerous build.prop edits, I have found that they all cause system crashes. Please only use the ones listed above. If you hate the GSM icon, I have found a way to change it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.ptoti.g2_tweaksbox . Install it, and then buy the premium pack for $1. (cmon its only a buck.) After you unlock all features, Click on Theme Tweaks -> and make sure Enable Theme MOD is selected. Then click on Status bar. Then make sure Enable Status Bar Mod is On. Then scroll down "Change status bar's icon set" You can choose through different icons from different carriers. I prefer the Tmobile one. They will take affect after reboot.

5-Use Radio Switcher to check and set what radio to use. I use LTE\GSM\WCDMA

6-Use Tweakker MMS APN app to set APN
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tweakker
*Note - Some users get force closes when trying to make a phone call. For some reason, you need to add a number 1 to your contact before you call
If you want to fix this manually, Follow the following fix found by jsergio123)
*To fix the issue of the com.android.phone process crashing when you don't dial a 1 in front of the number edit the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file with a SQLlite editor and change in the "system" table "assist_dial" and "assist_dial_init_db_check" to "0". If you don't see those 2 rows then you can add them. Fix permissions, wipe cache and reboot.
Another workaround is that I have found an app that will automatically add 1's to every one of your contacts.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maplekeycompany.apps.numberfixer
Install it and open it -> click Add area/country code -> change the dropdown to 10 and hit ok -> and in the area code, erase the area code part leaving just the number 1 -> Fix all. It will prompt you for how many numbers it will add the number 1 to all contacts.
2nd Way - Flash a rom
After you have Rooted and Flashed and possibly the G2Panelswap , you may want to consider installing a rom that works out of the box. It is much easier.
Here is a list of roms that work out of the box that I have personally tested. I know there are more.
***Update***
In all of cloudyfa's latest rom builds they do not work out of the box. I had to install the rom without my sim card in. Then download and install rom toolbox lite (see step 4 above) and change ro.carrier to spr (make sure its lowercase.)
I then turned off my phone, put in my sim card, installed radio switcher (link in step 5 above) and chose WCDMA preferred. Everything worked after that.

Let me know in the forum what other roms you find that work out of the box and I will link them here. Please remember that unless a rom specifically states it works for AT&T or Tmobile, or is a general rom that is 1 rom made for different versions of the phone, than it most likely won't work. There are lots of roms to look through in the G2 development section as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development

Haven't tried yet. But this is the first post I saw that can unlock LS980 with AT&T/Tmobile.
I tried the following thread, but it only unlocks internationally and doesn't work with AT&T/Tmobile..
Permanent SIM Unlock for LS980 (OTA, APN) JB 4.2.2, KK 4.4.2

Should I just start from Step 8?
I already followed the "Permanent SI Unlock for LS980 (OTA, APN) JB 4.2.2, KK 4.4.2" thread, so I did the following extra steps "To make APNs stick automatically:", is this fine?
To make APNs stick automatically:
1. Replace apns-conf.xml in Folder /etc/
2. Delete File telephony.db in Folder /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

6-setup phone and Download root browser
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
and a rar extractor.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rarlab.rar
Download the ls980simfinalunlock.rar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133
7-extract the rar and copy the carrier contents and use root.explorer to over write the files in the root carrier folder.
8- Download Rom toolbox lite
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox
and use it to Update the build.prop (reboot between each. You can turn on airplane mode in the meantime to stop the system ui from crashing)
ro.carrier=spr
ro.build.target_operator=spr
persist.service.crash.enable=1
Things to try if you are still having system crashes.
Set
ro.build.target_country=US
Try this to change icon from gsm to "H"
ro.build.target_operator=OPEN (might cause system ui error)
Delete lteconfigs.apk in system/app and reboot.
9-Use Radio Switcher to check and set what radio to use. I use LTE\GSM\WCDMA

10-Use Tweakker MMS APN app to set APN

Do you have to go through the whole unlocking process for those apps to work? It says its incompatible with my phone but I haven't tried unlocking yet so just want to be sure. Also is this just for GSM usage or would I be able to switch back and forth? I want to test it out before I decide to actually cancel with sprint and go with tmobile. My friend is letting me hold on to an extra tmobile sim so planning to try it with that.
Sprint blocks gsm in the US. You have to do steps 6 and 7 to have gsm unlocked. That is why it is failing for you. Once it's unlocked, you can still use sprint

I'm trying to do this with Omnirom, and there is no carrier folder that I can paste the folders into. Any suggestions?

Are you using root explorer, and backing out all the way to the top directory?
Also, this thread isn't meant for troubleshooting per say, it's just a list of steps that I did. If you are having problems with a certain step, go to the linked thread and troubleshoot there, as they are the real developers who did the fix.

I didn't ever see those steps in the op. They would probably help. But at any rate, yes. Each thread brought us one step closer to using this phone in the US. I kept trying over and over what step to do in what order to get it to work, and then wrote this guide. The way to listed in the op of permanently unlock is a great way to do it, I just thought dropping the folder in is easier.
Sprint blocks gsm everywhere, unless you get it unlocked through them. The permanent unlock let's us bypass that restriction and lets us use gsm, but still doesn't bypass sprints measures to block gsm in the US. The build prop changes do that. Everything else listed is just the tools I used to change everything.

When switching Roms, you might need to make the build. Prop changed again, but you shouldn't ever have to do the unlock again. Also, op updated with possible new changes to get rid of the gsm icon and shows H for HSPA . Its working well so far.

Spoke too soon. After a reboot, lots of force closes with the new TMO settings. Back to spr and the GSM icon it is....

Yes, when I try to create a folder in the top directory, it doesn't stay after reboot. I assume this has something to do with the way Android works, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

You shouldn't be creating a new folder. You should be finding the already existing carrier folder, and overwriting its contents.

Right, but the issue is that Omnirom does not have a carrier folder.
Don't know what to tell you. You can try just the build. Prop mods starting on step 8. People have had success with asop based Roms. I have only used stock based Roms. Also, again this question would be more for the permanent unlock forum linked above.

Please someone can pull those apk and upload here. Our Lg G3 ATT version dont have this installed.
Wow thanks for all the help.
welcome
Any time!
We don't have FM radio either.
Seems that only Sprint and international have fm like it was on the G2 as well. Too bad I like that feature.

Is the hardware there, and just disabled? Or is it removed all together? I find it annoying that my Droid X was able to make my mp3 player obsolete, yet the last 4 phones I've had couldn't. It's just the carrier's wanting us to stream music so they can charge us more for data.
Did you tried to download the FM from Lg SmartWorld?
APK+ODEX files

Hello,
Here is a zip with the files you need, unzip, place LGVidClip.apk and LGVoiceRecorder.apk and both the odex files in /system/priv-app/ with rw-r--r-- permissions and place LGFmRadio.apk in /data/preload/ also with rw-r--r-- permissions.
Anyone able to get LG vid clip working? Supposedly we should be able to edit a video by hitting the menu button. This didn't work for me on AT&T G3. Maybe we need video apk as well?
I can't get the fm radio to work on my att g3. Any suggestions?

Think you will have to install an internet radio like TuneIn.
For the other two apps: they might have been frozen, so try to unfreeze them using Rom Toolbox. Otherwise, move your own apk's + odex to the SD Card and reboot, then move them back and reboot again, still not working? Move them back to the SD Card and try using my apk's.
same result with all of the above.....weird
some kind of block from att i think
Did you freeze/uninstall all bloatware att installed?
Anyone figure this out?

Strange... You can try to install a stock based custom ROM
This will most likely solve your problem, but you will probably run Sphinx G3 Neo or VDT V8 so you won't get the LG updates
