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!

NFC Icon Remover
**You can now get NFC Icon Remover on the Xposed Framework's Download tab. In this way, if I update it, you will get update notice via Xposed framework. However, I will still post the most updated file here once available! **
I just wrote this little App for my own use to remove the ugly (IMHO) NFC icon. With the power of XPosed framework, there are no need to modify the NFC.apk and the Icon is complete GONE.
For those you may not know, the NFC icon appears on HTC One and One X (after Android 2.2 update). This take out the precious space of status bar while looking really ugly.
Please be noted to use this mod, you need XPosed framework by rovo89. You could get the Framework at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
This App has no icon of it's own. Just side load attached NFCIconRemover.apk and enable it in the Xposed Installer then reboot. You will notice the NFC icon will be gone after reboot.
Since this is my first Android app (Actually my last time writing any SW is 20 years ago! Haha!) so feel free to risk your phone by installing this. I am NOT responsible if it anything went wrong after install this mod.
I had only test this on my HTC One X (international version) with MaximusHD 21.1.0 (a very good custom ROM). Please feel free to feedback on this thread and I will try to resolve as much as I could.
If you find this useful, it would be appreciated to push the "Thank" button!
Great thanks go to rovo89 for this fabulous framework!!!
When I try to install from within xposed framework, I get the following error message:
Package name is incorrect (downloaded: com.lssong.nfciconremover, expected: NFCIconRemover)
Any idea?
edit: Just noticed that manual installation of the .apk works. So more or less a non-issue, but maybe worth solving anyway.

Yeah, I get the same thing happening.
As said above, manual installation of the .apk worked fine. The module is now listed in xposed framework, and I could enable it. Unfortunately it's not removing the NFC icon on my device (LG G2).

If you want the NFC icon back, just disable this module in XPosed frameworks and reboot. The NFC icon will be back. (uninstalling the module then reboot will do the same trick)

Since my One X doesn't have 4.3 yet, so I cannot test myself. However, as long as Xposed framework works and the NFC process is named "com.android.nfc" then it *should* work.
Feel free to install it and post your result here! It won't hurt anything and if it doesn't work, just remove it.
If it doesn't work, could you please let me know your NFC's process name so I could add it.
Thanks!

Sorry, LgNFC.apk is the name of the apk file... Can you try to get the "process name" which looks like com.android.nfc? (I guess LG's might look like com.lge.nfcaddon ...)
If you don't know how to get a process name, try to get Android Tuner free. In that app you can see all the process name!
From the information on XDA, it seems LG had their own implementation of NFC and lot of things are changed under-hook. I had look up into the BaskSamli people provide and pull the com.lge.nfcaddon. Not sure if it's correct and even if it's correct, will it work or not.
Anyway, you can try the attached apk and check yourself! If it works, I will post it on the XPosed framework's download page

Hey everyone,
I've been lurking XDA since rooting my HTC One X and I would like to say thank you to everyone who has helped me throughout the years.
I am wondering if anyone knows of a rom that supports Multi Window for the HTC One? Right now I am on Venom 2.5.0 and have edited the build prop to active this on 6.0.1. and of course I have enabled it from Developer Options. Even gave the phone a restart.
The icon shows up on the app cards in recent apps but they don't do anything when clicked.
Also I gave tried the XMultiWindow module as an alternative and for some reason it won't run two apps at the same time the other will go blank.
Any help would be appreciated.

don't think its rom specific from android 6onwards which is why it lets us enable by editing build props...
i am able to use multi window by editing buildprop - reboot - followed by enabling it in developer options - advanced - enable multi window....
could you confirm the buildprop string and value which you had edited?

Hello!
This morning i was just looking in build.prop when ive seen a line regarding multi-window.
On EMUI 5 / Android 7, we can enable MultiWindow by pressing for few seconds the multitasking/recents icon in the navigation bar.
This feature is available on EMUI 4.1 as well.
REQUIREMENTS:
- EMUI 4.1
- Unlocked bootloader
- Rooted phone
- a file manager with root support ( im using the good old version of ES File Explorer)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
[HOW-TO] Huawei Nova:
1) Grant root access to the file manager.
2) Go to /system and open build.prop.
3) Search for ro.huawei.multiwindow and change it from false to true.
ro.huawei.multiwindow=false becomes ro.huawei.multiwindow=true.
4) Save and reboot. After reboot, you can use MultiWindow by pressing for few seconds the multitasking / recents icon from navigation bar.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
[HOW-TO] Other Huawei phones:
If you have followed the instructions for Huawei Nova and it didnt work, then check if you have HwMwLauncher folder in /system/app or /system/priv-app.
If it is missing, then check this post. People reported that MultiWindow is working after they got HwMwLauncher.
CONFIRMED DEVICES:
- Huawei Honor 8
If your phone isnt on this list, then it doesnt mean that it doesnt work. Just try and report back. I think it should work on all Huawei phones which are running EMUI 4.1.

EDIT: I just seen that you can use MultiWindow by swiping up two fingers on navigation bar too.
When you are in Multiwindow with 2 apps open, press HOME button.

Maybe this is my firmware problem... I don't know.
But only with home button.
With back button all is ok.

It's same for me.
When you press the "+" on homescreen after you enable MultiWindow I think it shows only the apps which support it.
Personally, I'm not using MultiWindow. I just wanted to share the small trick I've found.
Strange - it doesn't seem to have any effect on my rooted Honor 8 (still on MM with EMUI 4.1).
I used BuildProp Editor to set ro.huawei.multiwindow=true and rebooted. Holding the "recents" button does nothing apart from a quick burst of haptic feedback after about half a second or so.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Exactly the same phone and software here but it shows the toasts messages and the MultiWindow interface but doesn't work. I think EMUI 4.1 is simply Nougat ready and that is the reason why it has the option to enable or disable MultiWindow but the system (MM) has not this function and that is why it doesn't work. So the result is only the GUI of MultiWindow being shown but is only EMUI trying to do something as layer that system in fact isn't capable.
I was wrong follow @#Henkate instructions here here

Strange - it doesn't seem to have any effect on my rooted Honor 8 (still on MM with EMUI 4.1).
I used BuildProp Editor to set ro.huawei.multiwindow=true and rebooted. Holding the "recents" button does nothing apart from a quick burst of haptic feedback after about half a second or so.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

1) Do you have HwMwLauncher.apk in /system/app/HwMwLauncher or /system/priv-app/HwMwLauncher ? I don't think it matter if it is in app or priv-app, but it must exist. I have it in /system/app.
2) After you enable MultiWindow, do you see the process named HwDualWindowLauncher at Settings > Developer Options > Running services (check also cached processes there)?
3) In build.prop I have the following line: ro.config.hw_multiscreen=true. I think it might be related to MultiWindow as well, but I'm not sure. I didn't try yet to set it to false and see what happens.

Well, it works for me on Nova CAN-L11 running EMUI 4.1
MultiWindow has been introduced in Android 6. Why Huawei hid this option in EMUI 4.1 (Android 6) and introduced it as a new feature in EMUI 5 (Android 7)? That's what I'm asking too.

1). I don't have HwMwLauncher.apk in either location (or anywhere, in fact).
2). No, I don't see the HwDualWindowLauncher process running.
3). I tried that, but it doesn't appear to have any affect.
Thanks anyway.
I'm not too bothered whether this works or not, but if it can be enabled, I will just for the fun of it!

The missing HwMwLauncher could be the problem since it is related to MultiWindow.
I've uploaded HwMwLauncher folder from my Huawei Nova.
1) Download HwMwLauncher.zip from HERE and extract it.
2) Copy HwMwLauncher folder to system/app.
3) Set the correct permissions for folders and files (.apk and .odex). I've attached screenshots with the permissions as well. The permissions of oat and arm64 folders must be same as the one for HwMwLauncher folder. And the permission of .odex file must be same as .apk one.
4) Reboot. Now I'd say that it should work. Make sure that ro.huawei.multiwindow=true in build.prop, but also ro.config.hw_multiscreen=true (just in case, I still don't know the purpose of this line as I didn't try to set it to false yet).
@carmeloamg :
If you don't have HwMwLauncher neither, then follow the same steps I've wrote in this post and report if it works.

I didn't have it. Placed and fixed but it only allows to use three system apps as second window even having some other multi window ready apps. For instance I've got WhatsApp and Telegram I can use multi window each one separately with gallery, files and videos but not both together. Snapshot attached. Same for you @stooby ?
Thanks @#Henkate !
very easy and smart! working very well without problems ...thanks

Yes, same for me. When I had my Note 4, there was an Xposed module that enabled all apps for multi window use. Unfortunately, it's not working on these devices. I'll keep investigating.

HONOR 8: Installing this version of HwMwLauncher makes the multi window natively supported apps to be selectable and the multiwindow_whitelist_apps.xml file placed in /cust/hw/normal/xml make it usable from many other apps that before says not compatible. Only two issues, sometimes launcher (nova launcher) gets stuck on half of it size buy as it comes it goes. The other issue is that you can not use two apps that not appear in HwMwLauncher, just able to open one that is not and then launch another that is on it. See screenshots (example using chrome and instagram).

There is a way to install good lock modules on m Series. Those modules can be installed but not working properly. Some modules get Crash and some like task changer can open successfully but can't be enabled.
How i do install Good lock modules on m series device.
First Download Apk Editor from apkMirror(Dont download it from google play)
After install Apk Editor and open it and select (lets say.....) task changer.apk
and then just rebuild the app. (This can be found on Storage/Apk Editor folder).
then install it. then install nice lock to see those installed plugins.
You can try that method and I tried but it not working. Task changer not crash but it cant be enabled. I think its some kind of permission error. those permissions cant be enabled. So some of XDA Developer is made that work please let me know also.
I also noticed All Samsung M series Devices has Samsung One UI Core and Others has Samsung One UI Version. Those are different platforms. No Knox, No Secure Folder, No Bixby, No Goodlock aps.
im from india
cant install good lock modules on galaxy m30
issue continues to app not installed
help will be appreciated
thanking you
Using lucky patcher, rebuild the apk with "resign with test signture" option. By this, you can install almost any apk but make sure the app is not already installed as system app (in that case, it won't install). Samsung Daily beta, App booster, Clock face, Dictionary app working by this method.
For app booster: use quick shortcut maker from play store or install galaxy labs apk using same resigning method).
You can try few apps I've tested and working properly
