Working screen mirroring on rooted devices - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

Note: This solution only works on MK2 (4.3)
I have been researching a problem I have had on my SPH-L720 with custom ROMs where screen mirroring with my Samsung TV would not work. Based on a thread I found, I have solved my problem and wanted to share with others who may have a similar problem.
In my searching, I stumbled upon this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50597640
The OP of that thread had several applications that he froze, and made some changes to the Build prop file, and the WFDConfig.Xml file. In the end, I only made one change to the WFDConfig.Xml file, and my screen mirroring started working.
1. Edit /system/etc/WFDConfig.Xml, and make the following change:
Code:
<HDCPValid>0</HDCPValid>
2. Reboot phone, and profit!
My setup is MF9 bootbootloader, NAE baseband, Negalite MK2 ROM.
If I have time this weekend, I will upgrade to Negalite NAE ROM, and test it there.
I take no credit for this solution, and credit the original thread above.
Hope this helps someone!

What program did you used to edit this? sorry noob here

Wow, thanks...I've been looking for a solution to this for awhile too. I made the changes on my stock rooted MK2 phone, and mirroring works great!
What program did you used to edit this?

I copied the file to my PC and used notepad++ to do the edit. Then copied the file back to the system/etc folder on the phone. You'll need root and a root-enabled file manager to write to the system folder. I used Root Browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree), but there are several apps that will work.

There are a couple of different ways to edit the file. For me, I used Root Explorer, navigated to the file, long pressed the file name, a menu came up and I chose 'Open in Text Editor'. From there it asked if wanted to mount the filesystem as r/w, I chose yes, edited the file, and saved it.

I couldn't find this line in my file, were you on Kit Kat or JellyBean?

For some reason I don't have that line in my WFDConfig.xml, I am on Baseband NAE, Negalite-wonderom-nae-r11, MF9 Bootloader. Any ideas?

I just upgraded my phone to the exact same setup. When I look at the config file for NAE, it is a little different. But, I *think* the correct change would be:
Code:
<ContentProtection>
<Valid>1</Valid> [B]<------- Try changing this to 0[/B]
<Version>WFD_HDCP_2_1</Version> <!-- Valid values WFD_HDCP_2_0 and WFD_HDCP_2_1 -->
<CPPort>6789</CPPort>
<EncryptAudio>0</EncryptAudio> <!-- Valid values 0 / 1 to indicate Audio encryption or not -->
</ContentProtection>
I have made that change to my phone, but I am at work now so I will not be able to test this until later this evening. I will post my results when I get home.

The fix in the OP is for 4.3 Jelly Bean. I just upgraded to 4.4 KitKat, and will have to test my theory on which setting to change when I get home.

Thank you!!! worked !!
man i was breaking my head on this one.. and soft bricked the phone a couple times trying to fix this, and to think the fix was so damn easy! :good::good::good:

Well, bad news on NAE (4.4.2) - the fix does not work. Under <ContentProtection>, I tried setting <Valid> to 0. When I mirror, I get a black screen with a message that says "Unable to enable Screen Mirroring. HDCP is not supported by the connected device" I can hear the sound from the phone on the TV, but no picture.

I just updated the OP that this only works with 4.3. I have gone back to Negalite MK2 ROM, and plan to stay there until a solution for NAE is found.
Does anybody have any other ideas on how to make screen mirroring work in 4.4.2?

Well i did update to NAE and tested the "contentprotection" value to 0 , also changed the name from Valid to HDCPValid and nothing , the TV says " the dive supports HDCP ? " or something like that .
under Developer options on KK now has HDCP checking settings. Tested all 3 options with Valid=0 and valid=1 and nothing.

[MOD] Display A Custom PLMN (with no SPN)

I was really getting tired of my carrier name showing up twice on the lockscreen and taking up extra real estate on my notification drop-down so I figured out how to disable the SPN from showing and how to customize the PLMN to say whatever I want.
KEY FILES TO EDIT
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/optable.db
/system/etc/apns-conf.xml
/system/etc/spn-conf.xml
In the apns-conf.xml make sure your provider is listed with a numeric value.
Here's an example: numeric="311370" mcc="311" mnc="370"
* As you can see the numeric is the MCC plus the MNC.
In the spn-conf.xml make sure your provider is listed with an spnOverride.
Here's an example: <spnOverride numeric="311370" spn_display_rule="SPN_RULE_SHOW_PLMN" spn_override_only_on="310,311"/>
The optable.db needs to be edited with SQLite Database Browser to add your numeric and the text to display.

Flash these files AFTER you have flashed a ROM and booted up at least once! I tested all four files on TUD 3.0.0 Beta, CM7 A3, and various CM7 Crackflasher builds.
*Screenshots are from CM7 Crackflasher build #54 with the Jungle Waterfall livewallpaper
Very cool mod. I will try this out when I have the time!
thank you
Love this, it worked great on Bionix with 1.3 kernel. For some reason running the same rom with the new 1.4b kernel it no longer works and yes I tried reflashing and wiping a few times. Any ideas?
Hey could you make me one and either PM me or post it up?
I'm on CM7 on a Nexus S, and I don't see a '/system/etc/spn-conf.xml' file. It doesn't seem to exist on mine. I'm on the latest nightly (#8) and have updated everything. Am I missing something?
How exactly did you get these files? I'm having all sorts of trouble with this. First off, the optable.db file is zero K, even when I extract it through ASTRO or Root Explorer with R/W permissions. Secondly, as I mentioned in the last post, the 3rd file is missing from the stated directory.
I'm really confused, as it seems that none of these instructions add up for a Nexus S. I'd like my T-Mobile message to instead display "Nexus S: Pure Android, Pure Google"
Did not work on Modaco R9, CM7 or The Cracker builds...

spns-conf.xml does not exist on the Nexus S originally, but if you place it in /system/etc/ the OS knows to use it.

Use the optable.db from my zip and just edit it as you see fit.

for those having problems getting this to work try using clockwork and press mount/storage then mount/system. hope this works.

You might be on to something, it worked for about 3 seconds then went right back to T-Mobile.
Still doesn't work. Mounted /system and /data. Does it only work for certain carriers? I'm using a&t
Is there a way to apply this to ALL carriers, rather than selecting one manually.
thanks

[SOLVED] GPS problems after GB update

Got GPS problem after the update with my LG o2x.
It cant seem to find any sats. Done everything thats been said on other threads nothing helps.
Any one with the same problem ?
Me 2. I get fix for about 2 sec. Then its stuck afterwards.
I don't even get a lock
Try clearing AGPS data with GPS Status
doesn't help. Can people please post their settings in hidden menu. All of them please
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19002334&postcount=41
some people said it work some said not work so try as your choice.
do you disable gps if you don't use it?
in official froyo and officeal gingerbread (v20l)
gps need to be enable on boot if you want good signal , otherwise you will always lose it
so try this
enable gps
reboot phone
turn on mobile data ( no wifi !)
open your gps app
I got my first fix in about 30 secs (cold start)
second on in 5 sec
Same problem as some of us had with previous leaked GB roms. Topogigi fixed the problem by tweaking service.jar file, that's the only thing I know. He talked about way of calling hardware that was wrong and explained that after a lock the GPS vanished..
You should search in Topogigi thread, there is a workaround in the beginning pages that could work (setting a new server in hidden menu).
That's why I'll stay with my ROM for now... It is perfectly working.
+1 from me, davjan. Seems to work for me. Thanks.

This worked for me!, however the srs level for each sat is not greater then 40 for some reason :S
I'm also experiencing this: as soon as the GPS gets a fix, the gps device itself seams to disappear. The Nav-app does get a valid location for one second and then the gps icon disappears.
This problem was not present in 10D and it does seem to happen when I activate the GPS later. If I boot with GPS enabled, the problem doesn't seem to occur.
Can this be fixed with the custom Jar file from Topogigi? Or is that for a different problem (no fix at all or something else - I do get a fix quickly but the GPS device seems to disappear then).
If so, how can I install it on my stock 20L? Some post talks about mounting a folder. How can I do that? I guess I need to root first and then use some kind of program on my pc or....?
I'm sorry if this has been covered before but I'm new to all this and there is so much information and a lot is hard to understand if you're new to this.

Let me gues..you deleted the services.jar and put the downloaded ZIP file in the framework folder without unpacking/renaming the file to services.jar ??
These are basic things to check but this could better be mentioned in the thread...

Actually no. I copy/paste the unziped jar file using esfile explorer. Got a message files were merged. Then bootloop.
Tried with the help of thansen to recover the file via clockwokmod but that didnt work aswell. So I reflashed the v20l kdz and rerooted.

Just simplify set /system/framework folder into RW mode then delete the old one and then copy the file that extract from zip file into /system/framework then change file permission to 644 (rw-r--r--) --> reboot OR
Here the method from origin
1- Just mount your "/system/framework" folder writeable.
2- Then overwrite the existing "services.jar" with the attached one.
3- Reboot your phone and your gps will get its fix in only some seconds.

[MOD] PRL Write Enabler for Sprint Galaxy S4 [MDC][MDL][MJA]

First off this work is based on Digiblur's PRL Write Enabler from the Sprint Galaxy S3 forum. I simply modified it & packaged it for our Sprint Galaxy S4 devices.
Here is the original S3 post that this was found in... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159054
Also, post #8 below provides additional info.
I tested it by flashing with TWRP and it worked on my stock, rooted S4 with the MDC and MDL releases.
If you're on a stock rooted Rom and not using TWRP, you can just copy the HiddenMenu.apk from inside the zip file downloaded into /system/app/ and overwrite the one that's there. (You'll need a root enabled file browser to do this of course).
Thanks to Unknownforce here is a version for MJA...
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291676468
Enjoy!!
This certainly will save me from having to use CDMA WS to switch like I just did yesterday. 55014 was not working well for me in my market so I switched back to 25014.

You mean the install of the zip?
If so, you can pull the APK out of the zip and replace HiddenMenu.apk in the system folder (make a backup first). You may want to also set the permissions to rw-r-r after replacing the system app. Reboot, then you should be good to go.
@ChadH42,
I know it seems like I'm harping on you but I'm really not..
You need to update the OP on - 1. What is this? 2. What does this do? 3. Why is this in the Development Section.. ?
A good OP leads to less questions.. Development Sections aren't for information. That would be considered a Discussion Thread that belongs in General.
Let's keep the Dev section clean from the start.
My suggestion - Edit the OP on the What's/Why's?/How To's and you won't get posts like mine.
To the OP, updated your title as [WIP], and I suggest you provided additional information so that folks aren't bricking their new devices.
I will check in, if you need anything, let me know.
What this MOD does (in case the OP takes a little while to chime in)
What this MOD does is modifies our ##DATA# (select View) menu to allow for the PRL Write option to appear and function. With this menu option, the user can change their PRL on the fly from the device itself by placing a copy of the desired PRL in the root directory of Internal Storage and name it "test.prl" (no quotes), dial ##DATA# (choose View), tap Write PRL, tap the sub-menu option Write PRL ---wait--- and then the device reboots with the test.prl PRL applied upon reboot. Not every PRL works and sometimes it takes a couple of tries.
A tip for multiple PRL options is to, of course, keep a folder of the PRLs you like and keep them labeled in there. Copy the desired PRL to proper place as needed and just remember to rename the copy to "test.prl". Switch back and forth as you please. I hope this helps clear some confusion and helps some find purpose with the MOD like I have.
For a clear set of instructions that I did not want to just copy verbatim, check the link below. Also, if you are having issues with the zip not installing in CWM, just extract the APK from the ZIP (inside the system/app folder), use Root Explorer or your favorite root-access file explorer to place the APK in the APP folder, apply the proper permissions and reboot.
Ref from the GS3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748516

I just tried this mod with the Force ROM and it did the same thing (blank options). The only thing I can think of is that it works with the odex version of the stock ROM so maybe its a problem with deodex ROMs of which Force is one.
O okay. Its currently not a necessary thing for me at the moment, just nice for when I travel to Alabama. Hopefully later on someone gets it working on deodex.

I am actually running it on the Rooted Stock DeOdexed ROM. So I don't think it is an Odex/DeOdex issue...might be a Force ROM issue.
Also, moot point for Force ROM (1.0+) anyway because the PRL Write mod is already included with that.
I'm also having this problem and I'm pretty sure it was working this morning. I haven't flashed anything since then.
edit-- I tried:
1. wiping both cache's
2. killing background process "OIThiddenmenu"
neither fixed it.
I reinstalled the stock odex ROM and flashed this again and it worked.
Just an FYI, OP, I get Error Status 6 when trying to flash this via recovery, which indicates one of two things. Either the format of the file is incorrect or there is a syntax error. The syntax looks fine, but opening in basic Notepad shouldn't "look pretty" like it currently does. So it's likely it was edited with a non-Unix-compatible text editor like Notepad or MS-Word...
To make modifications to an updater-script (or just about any Android/Linux files like this) you need something like Notepad++ or gVim.
Anyways, I did a quick test with this, and it does in fact not work on my ROM as it is, but I see why it's failing, but I don't know what exactly it's trying to reference yet. (It fails with an id number instead of a name, so I'll have to de-compile some things to find it.)
I'm not sure it's a ROM issue or a MOD issue yet. (meaning it might have to be updated for each custom ROM, depending on how they are configured) But I'll track it down and update when I can.

I think TWRP can read the non Unix type characters, which is why it works on a different recovery.
I'm hoping it's a mod issue and I can just modify the mod to work universally regardless of the rom. But we'll see.

[Q] Another root ?

Fellas, I come to here, humble and contribed. I, as all others, have the dreaded gps bug. I know there are a few posts concerning it, however, those are starting to get confusing to me. I ask for some simple instructions as to simply root my device, and procedure to replacing the files that are to make it functional again. No debloating, flashing of ROMs, or etc. DL links would be nice too.

You asked how to root p. Kingo app is as simple as it gets. And it doesn't trip your Knox counter. If you want 4.4.2 then I would suggest downloading the urdroid rom and following the detailed instructions. I'm running the stock kitkat rom rooted with no Knox counter trip. Not trying to be a prick but the kingo root method was as simple as pi
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I'm not interested in kitkat, honestly, I dont care about custom ROMs. I just need to root, and the procedure for replacing the gps files that are to make the AT&T GN3 gps actually work. And possibly stop the updates.
if you're on the latest nb4 baseband than you'll need to google Kingo v.1.15 and find a download of that version. if you're still on mj5 than just google kingo app, download and install to a windows pc. open the app and follow the instructions. its easy. kingo should install the correct drivers. kingo doesn't always succeed the first time. if that's the case try again until kingo says success. once done update su superuser app via google play and restart your phone. now you have root. i don't have gps problems so hopefully someone else can help you with. good luck. sry i can't post any download links but if you use google you should have no problems
Honestly I'd just wait if I were you....
Rogers and tellus note 3 have gotten kitkat the s4 has gotten kitkat for att in looking for kitkat in the next few weeks to month.

Ignore the meta folder. You're not "flashing" these files, you're copying them to your phone's system folder. Open the zip and open the system folder, then open the etc folder. Now copy the gps.conf file to your phone's system/etc directory. Now go back to the gpsfix.zip and open system then open lib. Copy the 3 libloc files to your phone's system/lib directory. Go back to the zip. Open system, open lib, open hw. Now copy the 2 GPS files to the phones system/lib/hw directory. Change each files properties to rw-r-r(Fix permissions). Now reboot. Warning if you don't know what you are doing i don't recommend doing this as messing with system files can lead to very expensive paperweight

Thanks! This is what I needed, I understand the risks, but also know the reward is a functioning gps, the meta folder and how to change the permissions is what was holding me back.
So on permissions, just rw, r,r no execute on any right? Now how to disable att updates? Thank goodness for yall smart fellas

Sry for the late reply. Owner=read write, group=read, other=read. No execute
To disable AT&T updates, freeze the at&t update app. (Sorry, I can't get the name right now, I'm on a ROM that had it removed, but it's at&t <something to do with updates>, with little red and green lines on the icon.) Link2SD or TiB will freeze it.
One more quick ?, When I open Super SU, a popup appears, Samsung KNOX has been detected. This might limit root capabilities and cause annoying popups. Try to disable KNOX? I have always cancelled the popup. Is that correct? or should I ok it? Again, thanks guys for all the help. I used my gps without fail all weekend long. Not a single problem, gps or phone wise. Wonder if I was to unroot using Kingo app, and leave the gps patch alone, if it would still get OTA?

LiquidSmooth KK [01/04/2015, Unofficial, AppSettings DPI works]

To make Xposed's AppSettings' DPI function work, I reverted this change: https://github.com/LiquidSmooth/and...92#diff-82378faf2a467d2f28e834dddd59207eR1363

I blame work on that one.
Glad to see a build of liquid again op, thank you. I'll DL at work and see about flashing.

Maybe I'm missing it, but is there a toggle for knock on? Doesn't seem to be working and I don't see the option.

The knock code value is probably set to "0" instead of "1" in the kernel. ishyesh will most likely have to change the value in the kernel before compiling.
You can use a script to activate it in the mean time (assuming there is no option anywhere in the settings to turn it on or off).
EDIT: Try this (see if it fixes it): http://www.mediafire.com/download/icnb1bu56nq4jb9/Turn_Knockon-On_G2.zip
@bouchigo
Thanks, but it didn't work. I for the life of me cannot find the option to enable knock on if there is one. I'll just wait for op to respond I guess.
Edit: so it did work. But you need to make sure use proximity sensor to have it turn on.
I did mess with this option before flashing your zip, and it didn't work. So your zip definitely fixed it.
Thanks again bro.

To enable knock-on,
use Tasker or some sort of automation software to execute this whenever the system boots:
"echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/touch_gesture"
Also, I uploaded a camcorder fix in the OP. Flash like any other.
To change DPI for the overall system, use an application like "texdroider dpi". I haven't tested the built in DPI changer.

I just changed the build prop using root browser. Thanks.
Also flashing that zip persists through reboots. No need to set a tasker if you flash that.

Btw, I'm not sure how Linux literate you guys are, but if you're curious and want to learn, try and unzip the KnockOnZip that bouchigo posted. Inside, you'll find a file within the path system/etc/init.d . Upon flashing, the script within that path is copied to your phone's /system/etc/init.d. On your phone, you can place whatever you want inside this directory so that it gets called whenever Android starts (read up on the naming of the script, that's critical). So in the zip, the 98knock-on-On script executes the same command I said you could tell Tasker to do.
Go crazy with that if you wish. And remember, make sure you check every zip that you flash.

You probably already know this, but if you go into devices folder, and into the vs980 folder (I can't remember the folder structure, I haven't looked at source in a while), anyway, look for init.g2.rc and change the following before compiling:
From: chown system system /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/touch_gesture
To: write /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/touch_gesture 1
That should fix it so no scripts or tasker actions are required.

I did not know that! I'll be sure to incorporate that in my next iteration. Thank you!

could this also work? Worked for me on other ROMs. Liquid was one of my favorite GNEX roms.

No. I've never updated to knock code. So it didn't have anything to do with my touch firmware. Knock on needs manually turned on.

The best ROM!!!
The smoothness and fluidity of the UI is amazing.
Use one plus bionic optimized binaries and flash seeder using interactive governor and deadline as scheduler. Then, you have the best user experience on an Android device.

Anybody having issues with youtube playback on this Rom? I went back to stock for now as this Rom wasn't playing a lot of the youtube videos I was trying to watch.
What's the exact youtube error message?
