Can't find LbsTestMode

Hey all, I am running Captivating RC1 and am trying to fix my gps settings because like most people the gps sucks lol. I have tried the codes *#*#1472365#*#* and *#*#3214789650#*#* that dont do anything, I have also tried LauncherPro that no longer has a short cut to LBSTestSettings, and Any Cut is no longer on the play store. How do you access the gps settings these days? All topics on LBS seem to be outdated.
Thanks!

Try searching for Angrygps.apk
That replaced lbstest after Froyo.

Well i have angrygps now. I installed it and put it in system/app folder... But cant i tweak it? I cant find it as an app and when i try to access the apk it just wants to install. Is there a way to get into it and make sure its working?

I thought I had got this to run at somepoint in JB, but when I try codes with my current rom, CM10.1.0 RC2, the dialer isn't launching Angrygps.
Sorry if the same is true for you.
I have found that using the hellstorm fix with some mods works well for me. I get reliable quick locks consistently - as good as can be expected with the weak location of gps antenna on captivate.
Here is link to my gps.conf file. If you make a backup of your current /system/etc/gps.conf file, then paste this version to replace it, make sure permissions are 644, then reboot, this should give you good gps.
if you are in usa, it should work as is. If elsewhere, you will need to check pool.ntp.org for best ntp servers for you, then edit the list of ntp servers in gps.conf.
I use xplore to do the copy, then chmod. I have also edited the system/addon script so that my gps.conf survives CM nightly flashes.

Did you set permissions correctly when you placed it into /system/app? I haven't used it in forever but I do know that setting permissions was required when I was using it. Also if it's working correctly you'll get an app icon for it in the app drawer.
Edit: Although I'm on Slim I just installed and confirmed it does in fact still work on the latest Jellybean. You do have to fix permissions for it to work and if you don't have a file manager to manually change permissions just reboot into recovery and run the fix permissions option and reboot.

So I am guessing the only real reason I want AngryGps is to alter the SUPL settings, other than it being a "text editor" it doesnt really do much else behind the scenes. That being said that gps.conf file should suffice without the installation of AngryGPS. I have done so and have yet to truly test it out. I do never get reception indoors but I feel thats everyone's case. My car roof however also seems to block my signal, and make me drop lock, is this common as well? I have to hold my phone near a window; an inconvenient position while trying to drive... nor the safest or most comfortable "fix" in my opinion...
Oh and for the permissions on the gps.conf I just set them all to read write and execute, i dont know what 664 means but im assuming that should cover it

Should be 644.
Linux/unix file permissions are the sum of
4 read
2 write
1 execute (for directories & executable files)
In 644, the first number is owner r+w, the second is group members read only, the third is everyone read only. If it were a directory, then it would be 755, to have the same effective permissions.
And thanks to m1batt1, I created an activity shortcut and I can launch angrygps, no code required!
About the car gps, I use a vent mount, which has worked well both in a VW passat and in Honda Accord. It keeps it near the window with a view of sky, and has the added benefit of cooling the phone when AC is on.

How did you get that shortcut to work? My permissions are 644 and it isn't appearing in my drawer. I did notice tho that there is a version of AngryGPS that's named AngryGPSMod and some guy modded it so u can open it. Is this what you guys are using? Do u know how to set up this modded version? Do I put the original AngryGPS in the system app folder? Or the modded one?

I don't have the modded one to my knowledge. Also after placing it and fixing permissions a reboot is required to see it. When I get to my PC I'll upload the apk I've been using.

Well now i found a new obstacle. I was going to remove and put in your AngryGPS that you posted but during my uninstallation process I hit a roadblock. I removed the old AngryGPS from the system->app folder but it does not appear in my settings->apps on any page. Which led me to think it was already uninstalled. But when I went to install the new AngryGPS it says there already is one and that it will update the old one
I tried to go ahead and proceed with the installation but it just returns installation failed. Where else can I look to get rid of the old AngryGPS?

You'll have to manually delete the apk from /system/app/ using a file explorer and then copy and paste the one I added into the same folder.
Again remember to change your permissions when you add it back in. unfortunately you have to do all this manually because this app only functions as a system app and the usual installation process will fail as you've already witnessed

Use a file manager to browse to system/app folder and also to /data folder.
Delete any instances of AngryGPS.apk.
Reboot.
On creating the shortcut, I use holo launcher instead of trebuchet, but the process should be similar. After installing angrygps, go to launcher desktop, and select add. . ., then activity, then scroll down and pick the second activity under Angrygps. It shpuld be an activity named .angrygps alone, without further mod. This will plscr a shortcut on your desktop. If gps is enabled and you click it, then it will launch AngryGPS, else it will take you to settings menu before it launches.

So I got AngryGPS to appear, must have been a bad apk to begin with. Problem I have now is when I click the app in my app drawer it just opens location services from the settings menu. Ideas?

Make sure you've got it set to use your GPS then hit the back button once or twice and it should take you to the angrygps menu.

Sideload any app/file to Galaxy Gear (no cables, no computer, no ADB, no MobileGo)

This is something that I ran across while reading sometime ago, so I take no credit for it, I just thought I'd pass it along to help others. Basically all you need to do is use a file manager/explorer on your Note 3 (I use "My Files" most of the time) and long press on the file/app that you want to send to your Galaxy Gear and then hit the "share" button at the top of your screen. Then select "Bluetooth", and then choose the Galaxy Gear. After that, just hit "accept" on the Gear and that's it...nothing else is needed. It may take a few minutes just because bluetooth file transferring isn't extremely fast, but it works, and without having to enter commands in terminal/ADB, without any cables, without MobileGo which is a trial version (or cost $40), and you don't even need the Galaxy Gear's cradle (that you probably left at home like I did).
Once the file/app has transferred over, just use a file manager on your gear to maneuver to the "SDcard/Bluetooth" directory where your files will be waiting on the Gear. Then you can simply double click to install them or just move them where ever you want. My Gear already had a file manager on it after I installed the custom rom Null 18. Otherwise, getting that file manager app onto the Gear may be your biggest (also last) challenge as far as sideloading apps goes. I rooted, and then flashed the Null 18 rom first to save time, but now sideloading is a piece of cake.
I also took this method to the next level since I am also rooted as I mentioned. What I mean by that, is with Root Explorer you can navigate to the System/apps directory (which is normally hidden if not rooted and using something like RE to access it). Once there, you'll find that this is the directory where your installed apps are stored. Now you can use the same method mentioned above to pull apps that you may not have had the .apk files for. So in essence you are "ripping" the apps right from your Note 3 straight to your Gear! This gives you the ability to try and install/run ANY Android app (even those that are said NOT to be compatible with the Gear) because a lot of them will still run. Google Search/Google Now/Voice Search is GREAT on the Gear, and so are many others. NOW this device is really kickin! Enjoy.

Sweet...many thanks ..

Very cool, thanks. Simple and effective. I like the part about testing Android apps from your phone / tablet to see how they work on the Gear.

Hmm weird. ..I tried this with two different file mangers and when I scan for nearby devices to share with nothing comes up. Neither my note or gear are rooted so maybe this only works with null?

Nothing comes up for me either when I select Bluetooth.

I've been doing this for a bit. I have next launcher on my gear.

I'm pretty sure you have to be rooted on the Gear for this. I tried to do that when I went back to stock and was pretty mad that it wouldn't work. One more reason I was Null back.
But my Not3 is not rooted and na3 and na6 will not let me keep any sideloaded apps. So I am not going to get null back until this is fixed. I even went down to the first gear manager and it still doesn't work. Only mk7 with any gear manager allows me to keep my apps/put them on my home screen.

Works for me on a stock Note II!
How could I bluetooth download PdaNet Tablet to the Gear?
I need to get the files for PdaNet Tablet so I can get the BT PAN internet tethering going...

I can confirm that this works on my rooted Note II running stock 4.3

No need for root. Just use My Backup app on your phone. Saved apk is usually in sdcard/rerware
And this won't work for stock gear. But work on null rom. Been doing this for quite a while now.

No Native Email App? Huh?

My Note 3 has a very nice native email app but I can't seem to find it on the Tab 8.4. Tried using the one from the Note 3 but it crashes. The only email client that is built in seems to be Gmail.
What gives? First Samsung leaves out Screen Mode and now this. Why are they targeting the 8.4 to leave things out?
Anyone know where I can get a version of the Note 3 email .apk that I can use on the 8.4? Thanks.

You might want to check again. There is an email app from Samsung included on the 8.4.

Yes you are correct. My bad on that.
Apparently when I flashed freeza's rom I did a full wipe first and deleted it. So I went back to my Nandroid of the stock setup and copied the SecEmail_Tablet.apk to my external SD card. I flashed freeza's rom without doing a full wipe but the Email app once again disappeared. I then placed the saved .apk in my system/app folder and rebooted. STILL no email app.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

After you copy the file over you have to change the permissions to 0644.

Won't autorotate after debloat

Hi,
I cleaned my note and cleaned too much I guess bc it won't autorotate anymore.
Would love to find out how to fix it.

Sounds like you deleted Samsung Hub. Deleting that will cause auto rotate to not work. I can upload the apk for you when I get off work.

Thanks, that would be awesome!

Move this to /system/app, set permissions to rw-r-r (0644), reboot, and that should fix it. If not, it may be Odin time.

A thing on debloating. Don't delete the items, pay the few bucks for Titanium Backup Pro. You can freeze the app. The joy of that is when you want to OTA a new update, you can un-freeze all of the AT&T bloat, un root, and bingo, back to stock

There are probably more apks "missing"...if you can remember what you deleted I can upload them for you but it might just be easier to start over with a fresh flash. I'd definitely recommend freezing apps as opposed to deleting them as well but @Walter.White has a flashable debloater script if you don't want to pay for the Pro version. Just flash it in safestrap after you've reflash stock and you'll be good to go! It's pretty serious debloating though you'd probably have to install apps you do use from the play store afterwards...the list of apks/apps removed is in the OP

Did you reboot after moving it to/system/app? Are the permissions set correctly?

Android System has stopped

Hi!
I have a new Note 9 SM-960U and whenever I try to share a picture, through FB or browser, I get "Android System has stopped". I can save a picture and send it, just not use the actual "share" function. I figure I probably did something I shouldn't have, but not sure what that might be. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Did you ever find the solution? My wife's phone is doing the same thing.

Found the solution if you're still looking. I installed a theme in the Samsung theme app and then reapplied the original one. That did it for me.
