Fix to Get Rid of the MMS Notification in your Call Logs
Apologies about the brief post earlier today, was at work and a bit of a hurry. Here is a more detailed method.
This was created from the JS5, i9000 source, but has been confirmed to also work on JS7 and KB1.
This will not remove exisiting notifications, but will stop new ones from popping up.
I do not take credit for the original fix, my source is listed below.
Clockwork Flashable zip file below to apply this fix, the steps are listed because I was asked for the process, but if you just want the mod, just flash the file at the bottom of this post.
This assumes you have knowledge of apkmanager or apktool to decompile the apk's, and notepad++ or another way to compare and edit the smali's. Those are lessons for another thread.
I happened upon this thread this morning over in Vibrant Q&A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988929
Which led me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853177 (Go Hit mammon88's thanks button)
-Grab the LogsProvider.apk from the Epic thread, second one linked, and decompiled using apkmanager.
-Move that file somewhere else, maybe even rename the folder, you won't need it again, and it will be the example folder/files.
-Take the LogsProvider.apk from your rom, and decompile with apkmanager or similar program.
-Inside the decompiled apk, using the one in the apkmanager folder here, not the Example Folder, browse to \smali\com\sec\android\provider\logsprovider, and open the LogsProvider.smali with notepad++ (that what I recommend using)
-Now from you Example Folder, drag the corresponding smali file to notepad++, and it will be in a new tab.
-In notepad++, hit Plugins->Compare->Compare, and the differences in the files are highlighted.
-Recreate the edits in the example to your main file, and save.
-Recompile the apk being sure to delete the classes.dex in the process.
These steps may/will work for comparing and editing other files, but be cautious. I didn't go in blindly and say "Eureka" on the first differences I saw. I compared every smali and xml, being cautious in editing, and got lucky on my first shot. Thankfully this apk only has a handful of smali files, first one I've ever decompiled that had less than 40. If you follow my steps, don't hold me responsible if it doesn't work, especially if you failed to make a backup.
The zip below is flashable via Clockwork Recovery. Backup as always, cause hey, it happens.

Have known that works, but not many have found that setting in the i9000 roms, and quite a few are complaining about the MMS showing up. This zip will fix all that for you.

Don't see how that is possible, it works on mine. Flash the file, it will not erase existing notifications, but new ones will now show up, read the OP please.

Yeah the checking boxes didn't work whereas it did for me last week. I guess some builds it does some it doesn't. Might depend on which dialer/contacts apk. So disregard anything I've said and thanks for posting a fix.

Thanks for clarifying, and again, sorry about misreading you there friend.
Edited - This might work on your Sweet Honey Port, the firmware versions aren't far off, if anyone tests it lmk and I'll add that info to the OP.
Thanks! just flashed on my phone, on Bionix 1.3.1. I can confirm this fixed the MMS in the call log issue.
Unchecking it worked for me! Downloaded it anyway for future use!
Ohh and running Atriarc v1

Thats interesting. I thought that Bionix 1.3.1 was KB1 (Android 2.2) based. Well hell, as long as it works, although be on the lookout for the odd issue or two, as this was sourced from the European i9000 JS5 port, and is all I've tested it on. Thx for the confirmation.

if you need any help with future verzions of this rom, i can help you if you want.
i also do light theming too, so if you want a themed status bar, lockscreen icons, etc in your rom, i could cook it in .
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
downloaded, did the wipe and tried to install. said it wasn't verified. so i turned off verification and am installing it this way, ill let you know how it goes.
installation was successful. everything seems to be working.
one question to the forums, and i hope i dont offend the OP, but if the ROM is not signed, and since i had to install it without verification, does this mean it is more likely that the creator has added something "bad" to the ROM? Again, im not trying to offend you OP, just gotta make sure you know.

You know what would be cool. If someone made a lockscreen using the stargate. And you had to dial a stargate address to unlock the screen. That would be awsome.

Even if its signed there is a possibility of something bad, as you put it. Anyone could create a key and sign it. I don't believe there have been any malicious roms but that is what the community is here for. I'm sure ppl smarter then myself disect everything in a Rom to make sure nothing is malicious. Props to OP will be testing tonight.

In the end, theres really not too much one could do to watch for "bad stuff." I don't even know what bad stuff you'd be looking for though, keyloggers? If theres one of those, all you'd have to do is double check the input section to make sure it's a legit IME. Other than that, ATK would help you look for anything else.
The fact of the matter is most of these roms just aren't signed, unless you're building from aosp, or you take the keys out of the rom that you're modifying.

ROM thread: link
ROM themes thread: link
I created this Q&A thread for this ROM to prevent tons of new threads about ROM specific questions from new users. Please feel free to post any questions here.
When posting a question, please make sure to mention:
ROM version
Kernel and version
Any theme, if applicable
Modem, if applicable
Also, please give some time for your question to be answered. Devs in particular are pretty busy churning out something or other for us. So be patient.
1. No question is too noobish, but please learn to do a search first, be it on this thread, or some other thread in this forum.
2. Before asking any questions regarding task killers and why they shouldn't be used, I would recommend reading this post: Android Memory Management

Glad to be of some help dilli. Thought this might help reduce Q&A style posts on the ROM thread.
I stopped even coming to 'dev' forums to look for ROMs since I know most ROMs now would be 2.2.1 based at the most, and well I feel I am on the best possible ROM already. Most of my time now is in the Q&A and General sections outside our three threads (ROM, themes, and this new Q&A now).
Sup my glitter ball bruthers,
Been using gballs sincemy first flash cuz it seemed to have the least problems and the best support and satisfaction....firstflashed 2/13. I am using suckerpunch #51 1ooomhz (so f'ing fast i need too slow down) also using dillis bluetheme and the latest add on
I was just wondering about modems. it seems there are newer modems than the one that is included with dilies6.0 .... jl2, i believe. Am i just confused or should i consider a different modem, if so why, or why not?
ive also noticed a new service since the newest addon other than the new keyboard service running all the time and periodically starting and restarting
It is called Sns service ... do i need this service?
If not how can i get rid of it?
Oh and,
Gballs Unite!!!!!!
Running di11i v6, unthemed, no mods/changes. (Been on it nearly 2 weeks....very nice.) Can't do adb remount - it returns Permission denied. Tried other threads suggestions to similar problem. TiBU works and shows busybox, SU shows TiBU as having root access. Reflashed di11i again along with TiBU but still having same issue.
Haven't ever had to post before - you guys do a great job; easy to follow along in other threads. I just can't seem to find an answer that works.
* Just noticed with adb shell> su the phone prompts for allowing SU permission for the shell. Even though I allowed it, I still can't remount (displays "operation not permitted" now). So it's definately not a problem with the ROM/add-ons - never really thought so but....if anyone has any ideas.
official 2.2 tomorrow.

BTW- Been using Bay_Wolf's AIO Captivate toolbox. So...I've kinda been cheating and doing things the easy way....which means there's alot I'm not familiar with.
Also-If I change wallpapers, how do I get the Android wallpaper back without re-flashing the rom? (I'll prob keep comming up with a bunch of dumb questions, sorry. I hardly even know how to use this forum ex: what are stars and what's up with the thanks meter?)

Option 1 (simplest)
Apply 3, reboot, then apply 5. Simple and straight forward method if u do not want to mess around.
Option 2 (easy)
Apply 5.
Copy the zip attached to this post "as it is" into ur /system/media folder using an app like 'root explorer'.
Option 3 (depends on ur current skill level)
Open the v5 in winzip or winrar.
Create a folder called 'media' in the 'system' folder (the folder in which u see the 'framework' and 'app' folders).
Copy this zip 'as it is' into that.
Apply the updated v5.
Option 4 (simplest and easiest)
Check the links post (post 4). I will update with a link to v5 with boot animation included.
My mistake: I just downloaded the zip. It includes the boot animation Sorry about the confusion. Looks like I uploaded the zip with boot animation.

Assuming u r on dilli's ROM, u would have clock work recovery console already loaded. Steps below based on that assumption:
1. Copy the theme zip to ur SD card root.
2. Boot into clockwork recovery mode (press n hold power button, and select recovery in the options there).
3. Install the zip file using the option 'apply zip from SD card', then 'select zip from sd card' and then selecting the theme zip file (words framed may not be exact but convey the same anyways).
Only if u r NOT on dilli's ROM:
If u are on some other ROM, and not have CWM console, or u do not know what that is:
1. Rename the theme file to 'update.zip',
2. Copy this update.zip to ur SD card root
3. Go into recovery mode (press n hold power button, and select recovery in the options there)
4. Select the option there that says something like 'apply: update.zip'

No worries. Everyone's been through that stage at some point of time.
This is just a stock, freshly re-deodexed I9000 XWJS5.
It already has working wifi, gps and Eugenes soft reboot fix.
Language has not been adjusted, just hit next to main screen, go into settings and set to English. [While this is a gift, not everything is free!] Language will still be partly off until you reboot. You might want to wait for the Roms to come from this first.
This is a daily driver as is but was mainly posted for the themers and rommers to have a base to work with. You can expect Goði to move to this new base.
I have trimmed the fat off of this but left stock boot animation and shutdown.
This includes the KB1 modem and KA7 Voodoo kernel disabled by default.
Install:
It doesn't matter if you are coming from a fresh Odin or not, we want a clean install so follow the install steps.
Download XWJS5.zip and place on your sdcard.
Boot into recovery and Wipe Data/Factory Reset Before You Move On.
Flash XWJS5.zip.
While still in recovery: Wipe Cache Partition, and inside the advanced menu: Wipe Dalvik Cache and Fix Permissions - Just These Three Steps, Do Not Factory Reset Again. THIS TAKES YOU LESS THAN A MINUTE, DO IT OR DON'T BUT DON'T QUESTION IT - THIS PROCESS HAS PROVEN TO BE THE BEST GUARANTEE OF A SMOOTH FLASH.
Reboot Your Phone.
After about 10 minutes, you should reboot again to clean things up and wipe out any bugs.
Enjoy!

100% working with the exceptions listed here about text being wrong sometimes in the pulldown.
Heathen: The bug with the wrong text on pulldown is only present on this ROM. It goes away when a theme is applied to it.
For example, I believe it is now completely fixed because I applied the theme here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966235
All the text in the pulldown seems correct so far. Theme looks SICK!!!!! This now easily is the prettiest ROM for our vibrants with this theme haha. Thanks.
EDIT: CORRECTION. Everything went back to being fixed because that theme replaced the services.jar file. No wonder haha. So note this, after every theme install, redo the services.jar fix.
I've posted the a new services.jar in my thread that is from Darky rom
Try using that one to see if it fixes the weird text

I can't take the slightest credit for it, but considering that I couldn't find any Atrix specific information, I figured I would post this here. Worked great for me!

Excellent this works. You don't need Root Explorer neither "SQLite editor". Both costs money and does not anything in addition what free "SQLite explorer" will do.
This is confirmed as working for me on Kenneth ROMs.
Has anyone tried using the "easiest" method, [root] Talk 1.3 Installer? I tried using a few of those versions, following the instructions to restore back to the backed up Talk app, and none of them worked for me.... Don't know if it was something I did wrong, or what, but I'm not going too far out of my way to fix this when VTOK works sooooooooooo well, even over data!

I haven't tried those methods because the Atrix does things its own ways so I didn't want to risk bricking it.

I hear what you're saying, but I don't think installing a modified Talk app would brick the phone....... I have been wrong before though, so do what feels safer for you! I've swapped a few of them out and had no success, but also haven't had any serious issues like bricking the phone either.... I know going to a few of those will remove your Google account and all you have to do is re-enter your login and the phone will begin downloading all your mail, Picasa account, and Voice account back to it, which takes less than 5 minutes with a decent signal
I tried this app errors out swaying can't copy talk.apk

Yeah I can't imagine as likely either, but some of them sounded like they were messing with mounting and un-mounting system partitions in odd ways. Besides, it sounded like way more work to find one of those that worked, restart and flash multiple times, and so on, than to simply edit one word I would make an Atrix-specific flash for everyone if I knew how it was done, but sadly I don't.
To anyone that does know how: just make a zip that edits that one line in the .db file mentioned in the link of the first post. The app doesn't actually need updating.
As easy as this change is, I don't see the benefit of installing another app to perform the change. Also, I recommend paying for the SQL Lite and (I used root Explorer) apps if you find yourself using them for these types of changes. The developers should be supported when they provide tools that make it so easy to modify the Android system. Lets keep them motivated to continue making such awesome tools.
I can also confirm this worked on the leaked 4.5.91 (beta 4.5) from Kenneth.
Good find!!

+1 working like a charm.

Simple, easy and effective. Works flawlessly on GB 2.3.4, Ken's beta 4. Thanks for sharing!

Updated mine a while ago via sqlite guide method and working great. Was going to repost but was brought up I believe earlier in a separate post.
Works pretty well in general on the atrix at least.
the free SQL editor "sqlite" in the market will do this just fine.
So have you guys been able to get video calls to work properly? I used the modaco installer and the calls will start but not actually go through. What method did you use to get it working? Thanks.

Don't use any installers at all. All you need is already on the ROM. You have to go back to original ROM and follow guide above with no additional binaries installed from any other sources.

the modaco installed version does not work. if you used kenneth's GB ROM, then you already have the files. go into your system/app folder, rename talk.apk to talk.bak and rename talk2.apk to talk.apk. that's it.
I've factory reset, flashed redpill and tried again with kenneth one and still can't get the video to work. Doing nothing but installing gtalk.
I get the icon but when trying to start the video, the video chat process crashes and creates a core file.
Not really sure how to debug it further than opening the tombstone.
As the crash is systematic regardless of my ROM, may I ask what Radio are you guys using? I'm on 4.5.91,

I flashed Kenneth ROM then radio. Radio is 4.5.91. No video icon at first.
Then delete talk.apk, renamed talk2.apk to talk.apk, install new talk.apk and video icon appeared and started working on WiFi only.
Then edited database to allow to work over cell data and now it works over cell data as well.
I did not do anything else except from steps above and made it work with no crashes.

This is driving me crazy. You also changed the libtalk_jni.so? If not, do you mind sending it to me so I check it against mine?

Thanks! That was the issue (I reflashed), the lib coming with the rom allows camera to come through.
Putting that file (attached) in /system/lib should resolve the issue for people who like me overwrote it (or used the Talk installer).
i saw this over the Nexus S thread, and thought it would be awesome if we had the Recent Apps on a click of a button, but not by holding the Home button..and since we don't use the Search button (at least i don't) , we could remap it so it could show the Recent Apps..
so.. here is the MOD : [MOD][19 JAN] Search key to ICS recent apps [add CM9, AOKP and Peter Alfonso version]
and the HOW-TO : [HOWTO] Remap hardware button to ICS recent apps
i tried to make it myself, but i couldn't, so i would like to make a request, or a little help for this MOD

The first link is a flashable .zip, did you try it yourself? I feel tempted to... It's for IML74K so it should work I guess.
The second one is just the instructions on how to do it ourselves, I might try this tomorrow, right now I need some sleep.
So is the flashable zip usable with the teamhacksung ics version?

you gotta change the build.prop in the zip file so it would be flashable on i897

I am very interested in this. This would make they search key useful, as I never use it.

Or you can just remove the assertions from the update scripts. It seems to work, but it messes up some framework assets, as I was expecting, see the screenshots.
I'll see if I can the file from our build, decompile, make the changes and then recompile but I'm pretty new at this stuff. For instance.... do I have to sign the file to be able to use it, and how do I do that?
and yes, it works beautifully. having the app switcher just one tap away makes this a true multi tasking device to me. You will lose this button functionality though, so if you depend on it this won't work for you.

I probably can't help you in any way to get the job done, but I'm always willing to beta test while I learn how to do some of this stuff. Let me know if you need a second person to test and debug.

Cool.
I'm sure someone in this forum has to know what they are doing heh.
So far I'm stuck in here: I have to OneCosmic's source code, but how do I convert the new PhoneWindowManager.java to a smalli file??
