I followed the instructions below and built a flashable zip for people running Evervolv v1.0.0a16
A HUGE thanks to BThomas22x for posting the how to. I take no credit for the mod. I just did what he said and posted a specific zip for evervolv since that's the rom I'm running. If you are not running evervolv don't flash this mod!
You can grab my zip HERE
Make sure to nandroid backup FIRST!!! Then flash at your own risk!!!

Ok first things first... I just came to the EVO from the Epic, so I'm gonna join this community now .
..::..Disclaimer..::..
You are voluntarily flashing this at your own risk. I can not be held accountable for anything you choose to do on your own. If you try to blame me, I will laugh at you. ....While pointing.
..::..Data Service Governer Killer..::..
1. What does this do?
This is a modification to the services.jar framework file, that allows you to have an un-throttled internet.
2. Will this make my internet faster?
Yes and No. This will not "Upgrade" your internet. This only takes the trottle off, so you can download, or play games and not have to worry about it hitting a certain peak and lagging from that point on. It doesn't provide you with a new internet, only a warm fuzzy feeling from knowing you don't have to worry about it capping off.
3. If I flash this, will it break my phone?
If it did, yours would be the first case I heard of. I've personally flashed it NUMEROUS times.
4. Will this work on any ROM?
Yes. This is not based off a particular ROM, and can be used with ANY EVO ROM. ALTHOUGH If you're Dev has made changes to the services.jar file, this could wipe those changes out. If you are unsure, send me your services.jar file, and i will look for you. Hopefully, i'll be able to make a download list in a couple days with all the Dev's services.jar files, so you can download that specific one. You can always ask your Dev.
5. Do I have to be rooted?
Yes. In order to be able to flash this, you are going to need to have root with a custom recovery. I.E. Amon_Ra.
..::..Install Instructions..::..
Simply download, and place on the root of your sdcard. Then go into recovery and flash it as you would a ROM. Done.
..::..Download..::..
Data Service Governer Killer
..::ALTERNATIVELY::..
You can follow this method if you're Services.jar framework is already modified, or if you aren't sure.
1. Download these 2 files:
Smali_Baksmali
2. Create 2 folders on your C: Drive labeled "Smali" and "Baksmali". (This is for easy access to the folders when being cd'd)
3. Place the 2 downloaded files in the C: Drive folders accordingly. (I.E. Smali.jar in "Smali" folder, and Baksmali.jar in "Baksmali" folder.)
4. Using 7zip or WinRAR (or any other zip program) open the services.jar file that you pulled from your phone. Copy the "classes.dex" file and paste it into the "Baksmali" folder.
5. Open your command prompt and type the following:
cd C:/Baksmali
java -Xmx512M -jar baksmali.jar -o classes/ classes.dex
6. Open the newly created "classes" folder (its inside your Baksmali folder that you should already be in) and navigate through "/com/android/server/". Scroll down till you see the 6 or 7 "Throttle" files. They will be located between "TelephonyRegistry" and "TVCableObserver$1$1". DELETE ONLY THE "THROTTLE" FILES.
7. Back out of the folders until you are in the "Baksmali" folder again. Now open the "Smali" folder you created earlier. Place the "classes" FOLDER in the "Smali" folder.
8. Return to your command prompt and type this:
cd C:/Smali
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar -o classes.dex classes/
9. You should now see a "classes.dex" file in your "Smali" folder. This is the NEW compiled services.jar classes.dex file. Pull up the 7zip or WinRAR file you had open earlier, delete the current classes.dex file from the services.jar, and place the newly compiled one in it's place.
10. Place the services.jar file back into your ROM, and boot up. You are now running Unthrottled.
11. If you do not see the "Throttle" files, don't complain they're not there, your Dev may have already taken them out.

What this mod will do for you:
gmichaelow said:
I think a bit of clarity is needed here. This mod will only stop Verizon from slowing down your data speeds.
It will NOT help you avoid overage charges.
For example let's say you're on a 250mb a month plan. This mod only ensures that you will get 250mb at unrestrcited speeds. Going over 250mb will still result in an overage charge.
Also, the reason people keep referring to 5gb on their "unlimited" plan is because Verizon starts to throttle data speeds after 5gb of data. That doesn't mean you get charged more, Verizon just slows you down. This mod will prevent that, and only that.
I hope that clears things up.

It supposably only stops Verizon from slowing down your data speeds. NOTHING ELSE!
Many believe (including myself) that verizon slows down your data speeds if you use a lot of data. This helps the network be stable for everyone but really sucks for those of us that tether.

Are you on a 5gb data plan?? or where is the 5gb coming into play?
I would hope they don't slow down anyones speed that has a capped amount to use monthly. Lets say your constantly downloading and its slowing down verizons network (hypothetically) They would rather slow down your speeds and leave more bandwidth available to others.

Where did the 5 gb number come from? I'd swear that mine got slowed down one month after about 2.5 gb and has never been the same.
How much can you use before Verizon catches on? I know there's not an exact figure but anyone average 4-5 a month with no problems?
I say 5 GB because my data speeds were running fine through 4.3 GB. Which was because of something possibly in the GB ROMs. Then I flashed r2's data fix. Then I flashed this just in case. Simple. LOL.

Updated op with gmichaelow's explanation
Please keep in mind that the zip in the op is only specific to evervolv a16. If your rom builder makes rom specific changes to the services.jar and you flash this zip you will lose or remove the functionality that was intended by overwriting it.
If you are running a diff rom you need to follow the instructions provided by BThomas22x

Yeah, it should. Tethering is just routing your laptop's internet through your 3G. So an uncapped 3G would show faster tethering as well =]
And I'm not sure where 5gb comes from, but it's commonly accepted, so I used it xD

weird that this is controlled from the handset and not from some computer in a Verizon building somewhere monitoring your account. Does the handset itself monitor usage and say "hey your using too much data, let me slow you down"?

No, but it looks like Verizon sends a command to the phone to slow itself down.
Haha, you're right though, if I was Verizon, I'd make throttling server-side.

Im not sure how they throttle their 3g, but I have certainly had my air card throttled by them. I have an actual unlimited card (most are really capped at 5gb) but when I go over 5gb two months in a row I have been put in a probationary period and throttled for the entire month following to a speed that is boarderline useless.

Wouldn't server side throttling give them more control but at a higher cost? As far as I know, the only way to slow the way to throttle server side is to buffer packets or to ddrop packets.. which both lead to lots of congestion and connection retries. If you have a way to tell the devices to slow down the rate that they dl and upload.. you can avoid those issues at the cost of letting us use this mod

Heya Folks,
I followed the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...43&postcount=1 and applied them to the services.jar from the latest build of MIUI.
See the attached flashable .zip file. I strongly suggest making a nandroid backup due to this being my first attempt at doing this. It booted just fine on my device.
Let me know if it works!

Heya,
Only way to test would be to run a speedtest.net over your 3g connection before and after flashing. My 3G sucks here so I can't really test it. I followed it step by step going off of the instructions however.
Just curious if anyone tested this? I know the zip works just curious if anyone has played around with it. My 3g sucks where I live so I feel it isn't an accurate test here

Can't speak for the MIUI, but SR 3.5 showed significant improvements.

So can this be flashed to any rom? I have a droid x and I am using the Liberty rom.
No, it is ROM specific.
I tried this patch on 1.1.7 N1 services.jar and got a FC in settings>system>Mobile Network settings. Does a similar thing happen on 12.24 Dinc?
No, this particular thread only worked for 12.24 for the incredible...

No, because there is no difference and flashing this on any rom does nothing but break your one settings menu as mentioned.
As has been previously stated this feature is not actively used by verizon, if it was used you would see a notification icon in regards to it when it is enabled as that is part of the code.
This feature was built by google as an option for carriers should a large majority of customers use android devices, but the bottom line is if vzw wants to throttle your data they do it at the account/network level. Not on your device. Any improvement people report from making this change is a complete placebo / fluke or just a fluctuation in their signal quality / network congestion at the time.
Just quick question, im currently running Team Phoenix Ultimate, on a Rogers Captivate.
I just recieved a call from Rogers telling me that in the past 3 days, ive used 190mb of data. Meanwhile I haven't used the Browser, or even youtube, I generally never bother anyway, ive never used more than 250mb-300mb.
Is there an app/way to know how much data each individual app is using.
( i have beautiful widgets set to every 3hr update, i have facebook to never update, thats the 2 i can think that may use more otherwise, everything pretty standard.
Any thoughts, thanks guys in advance
190mb sounds about the size of a rom... Didn't happen to download one with data, did you?
No sorry, i just found a thread which said to dial Dial *#*#4636#*#*
i looked at battery usuage then network usage, i found something labelled only as "0" has been using alot, when i clicked on it, i got a force close??
I use a free app called ZDbox. You can get it from the market. You can click under 2g/3g data and under more detail it will break down what has been used by each app you have.
How big is your data plan? I have never been called by rogers and there have been times I've used more data than than. Sometimes near the end of my billing period when I still have a gig left I will download roms or what not to use up my data lol. I'm on a 2gb plan

That is the ROM I developed and I wish I could help out but nothing with the ROM will do that. If you happen to find out what is causing it please either reply in this thread or PM me.
ill give that a try, thankyou, Im only on a 500mb, but starting the 15th of may, im getting a 6gb plan.
Okay that makes sense if you have a small data plan like that. I guess its a courtesy thing since you used a huge chunk of your plan in only 3 days. So much better than the old rogers. A guy at work used his blackberry to tether 4 years ago and had a 1500 dollar bill. Lol
Adamholden, glad to see you still around the captivate forums: )
Hey there Adam i love the ROM!!
Just to let you know, I shouldnt have mentioned the ROM, I wasnt trying to blame anything on it, i know for sure its either something Im doing wrong, or Rogers bending me over and giving it to me hard as usual
If i figure it out ill let you know

Watchdog 3g? Oh wait that only tells you all usage. But I updates in realtime so you would see it rising and you could check what you were running...
3G Watchdog Pro does give you a data breakdown by app, but it's not especially accurate.
wife's iphone data usage spiked this month as well...she has never used over 200mb in a month...all the sudden on day 11 got text that she was nearing cap.
Checked data and she was at 170mb. An hour later she hadn't used ANY data.....we were at home and i can confirm her phone was connected to wifi...she uploaded a couple pictures to face book and i get another text...check data and its at 190mb.
I suggest you get Droidstats - It will read your data, minutes, texts and such (also very customizable, you can set your top 5/10.. what time not to count your minutes like night and weekend). Best widget I found so far for tracking
Ok i am being throttled at 5-7 kbs which sux!! So ive been google hunting and have found very little on beating throttle "all i wouldnt trust." So i started digging into system files. I found a file named cci_ro.prop in data/flex which when opened as text has alot of options to edit over ip/network. I understand some but not all of options unfortunatly. I will toy around with it very softly see what i come up with and maybe beat cricket throttling for good and without having to flash unknown to zio.

I found this very interesting thread called 'Data Service Governor Killer.'
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10100043&postcount=1
The author of the thread mentioned that the data governor killer is compatible with many other roms. From reading the thread, I think that I understood that the governor killer modifies a file in the Android system directory named services.jar
These are the throttled files that can be found in the classes.dex inside the services.jar file directory (examples from a moto droid) and the governor killer removes them,
ThrottleService$1.smali
ThrottleService$2.smali
ThrottleService$DataRecorder.smali
ThrottleService$InterfaceObserver.smali
ThrottleService$MyHandler.smali
ThrottleService$SettingsObserver.smali
ThrottleService.smali
The data governor killer is flashed under recovery mode by using rom manager or something of the sort. I do think that this may be possible for us to do in CWM or to integrate this with openZio.
It would be awesome to have the data service governor killer along with Juwe11's ram script modification added to a future build of openZio.
EDIT:
I found this tutorial http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/105807-guide-how-stop-data-throttling.html which doesn't require flashing I think.

The only thing that i can think of me changing was a day prier i deleted the folder throttle and cleared out the folder usagestats "then rebooted". Both folders are found in data/system. On reboot system made another throttle folder and had replaced the 2 files in the usagestats system reseting both files with all 0's in the files.

As for fastdormance=true i have no idea how you would get to that system file and i have no idea if i need a custom rom on my phone or can i just use my stock os? Im asuming i need to get a program for my computer to access system files? or is it simply an app?
Please help. I WANT MY NETFLIX BACK. it took no time at all for the startling truth of cricket's throttling to arise and great me with retarded slow speeds.

I work for verizon as a tech support agent and no, cell phone companies will not cancel your service if you bypass your phone throttling even if we see it in our systems. in fact it is highly the opposite. you can do anything to your phone from rooting to whatever. just trust me.

Here is an idea: don't come into our forum and berate us over OUR product-choices. FYI, we piggyback on Verizon's data network, and much of the time, we're just as fast.
Anyway, here are some abridged posts from pyrixiate from the OpenZIO development thread that solve the throttling problem.
pyraxiate said:
IT WORKS! One drawback... you cant access settings/mobile networks. Not sure why but others report the same on other devices. Ill look into it and try adding one throttling service back at a time and hopefully it will resolve the issue.
All i did was decompile [services.jar] , wipe ALL of the throttling services, and recompile.

PS
It definitely helped my bandwidth issues. I know im well over 5gb this month and i noticed a heavy reduction in speed. Using this id say it want back to around 50-60% what it originally was.
Please note, I have NOT had the time to determine which specific throttling services specifically have an impact, so for now you WILL not be able to use settings/ mobile networks ( this is also repeated several times in other threads using the same method ). One of those throttling files if removes causes FC's.

Once again, this particular services.jar was decompiled, stripped of it's throttling services, and recompiled by pyraxiate, and this link is to his dropbox that he posted in the OpenZIO development thread.

A few more things to keep in mind; you HAVE to adb push this (to /system/framework/) or you'll end up bootlooping your phone, before you adb push it make sure you have data and data roaming enabled in settings > wireless & networks > mobile networks (because you won't be able to access this after you push the new services.jar), this is ONLY good for the current OpenZIO ROM, and BACK UP YOUR SERVICES.JAR FILE IN CASE YOU F**K IT UP.
Now that we have root and are happily removing bloatware, many of us are trying to find and remove that blasted 3G hotspot app that keeps coming up with whatever we choose to use!
If anyone knows how and where to find and at least freeze it, we would all be very appreciative :-D
It has something to do with the dhcpd service. I'm looking at the code to see if there's an "easy" way around it.
why don't you just follow the rules and hack the hotspot app?

You have to be careful with that app in terms of hacking it. Rumors say that Verizon knows when you are a hacked version and you could be charged, or violate certain parts of a contract.

Its more cumbersome than root tasks to me

I doubt that they can tell when you've hacked it without some sort of trickery that we're unaware of, but it is true that you violate part of your contract and get charged extra if they find out.

Isn't that the point of trickery? If it was trickery we were aware of, it wouldn't be trickery anymore

I meant trickery as in some sort of magical method that can't be explained. We can be aware of it's presence, but not aware of how it works. We're not aware of either at the moment
If we hacked it but aren't using it, can verizon find out?

I think it would be extremely difficult for then because it replaces codes so that your connected device doesn't come up as an external device but as the phone still using its data...
Is that a yes or no to my question? Lol

How exactly do we remove bloatware once we have achieved root? I've got root already, worked like a charm! but how do I remove this crapware?

Titanium Backup... buy it, FREEZE apps, do not rename, do not remove, do not uninstall... and watch what you do, several of them will cause never-ending force-closes if you're not careful.
Freezing apps removes the execute bit so the file remains, but the OS can't execute it.
^I say no

Yah -- some are okay to uninstall, like the obvious ones (BlockBuster, Citrix, etc.) but some will break dialer/contacts, etc. like all the authenticators.
Yeah I broke my contacts, text messaging, and calendar. But that's okay. Because I never use them, and I use handcent for texting anyways

It's just safer to get rid of the Verizon Hotspot app. I fear that no matter what we try to do to it they can find out. Even without the app they can find out. If you have an exceptionally large amount of data usage, or a constant high data usage connection they will investigate it. They then will monitor your data usage and start to throttle you, ping you and otherwise annoy you. Verizon just disables your ability to use your data. AT&T warns you twice and then charges you.
Just keep it under 15gbs a month. I went to 18 and they throttled me.

Everytime i placed my hand on the back cover, it felt really hot. Is this normal ?
I'm currently running HoliRaidier 1.75 rom.
The phone does tend to heat up quite a bit, especially when running CPU intensive tasks.
You should use a task manager to monitor what apps are running, and terminate anything unnecessary.
Thanks - I'll try to do that.

I haven't had this problem with the last 3 roms from WildChild... including today's release from him. *shrug*
Never had this problem. Check to see if you have an app that's running rogue or something.

Can you put a link to the Wildchild rom for me? I cant seem to find any posts open on it...

You need to go to wild Childs site and become a member to access his roms for the vivid

Mine has always gotten hot if I'm playing a game or doing something intensive. Not worried about it though. It's never blazing hot, just pretty warm.

I will try to download and flash that tonight ... for some reason my phone will not get Data Connection if using stock rom - do you have any idea to change that ?

Did you check to be sure the kernel you're using matches your ROM?
When you say 'data connection,' I'm guessing you mean mobile data connection and not wi-fi. If it is wi-fi with the problem, try re-copying the wi-fi module for your kernel over to /system/lib/modules
Yes - I do meant the 'mobile data'. When I used a custom rom, then I got the data just fine. However when I used the ATT based rom - It doesn't appear to get any connection. I don't know why, and if I would know how to set or change the custom APN would be helpful.

Edit: Yes I always flash the kernel before install new ROM from the same dev.
I have also realized that it does get hot, and with the new holliraider 1.7 i realized that the battery dies faster.
I've had my Vivid for about three weeks now, and it runs ice cold. It's stock, with the addition of about twelve new apps, that's it.
