I've had no problems at all. Are your you saving your changes, and are you adding semicolons to your edits?
The changes should be made to notification_panel_active_app_list. It's easy to choose the wrong one. There is at least six similar entries in the data base. You must make sure that you select the correct one.
example: add "MobileData;" to notification_panel_active_app_list without the quotes, and not to notification_panel_active_app_list_for_reset. Save the change then reboot.

Yes I am but after reboot they are gone. I'm not site what to do do you know where I can find a list of quick tile terms that it will accept

There is no one list that I know of, mostly everything is sporadically "add this here and there. Could you post a screen shot of your sqlite screen after your edits, before the reboot? It should look something like this.

That's the wrong database.
I TOLD YOU IT WAS EASY TO CHOOSE THE WRONG ONE. TAKE A LOOK.
You were supposed to edit the "notification_panel_active_app_list" like I told you. You edited the "notification_panel_default_active_app_list".

OK thanks think i got it gonna reboot

For the download booster, its "NetworkBooster" without the quotes. But you need to follow the download booster guide in the general section to get the download booster working, because you are required to switch around some files.

[Q] Custom shutdown animations

Does anyone have a custom shutdown animation they would be willing to share or know of a site where I could find one? My google searches haven't turned up anything of quality..
That Verizon shutdown animation is pretty lame. I'd like to replace or remove it as well. I'm sure I can, I just haven't had time to mess around with it.

Yep, better than the stoopid VZ one, however still searching for something better myself, besides just had to do it to see if it worked
while it's nothing mind blowing, the quality seems okay for me, and it's FAR better than the lame verizon one.
those verizon animations make me feel like i'm still using my chocolate circa 2006
thanks guys.. I'll give this one a go for now.. anythings better than the awful stock verizon one.
For what its worth I made my own.
Its of my son so none of you would want it but I made it with gimp and just replaced the stock one. Works great.
Weird thing though, when I view the pics in root explorer it shows the verizon pics instead of mine.
Still plays mine but in the file it still looks like the stock pics.

i noticed that as well, i think root explorer just doesn't clear the thumbnail cache for some reason
That messed with me for a while. It wasnt til I shut down for something else I noticed it took.
Must have replaced the file 5 times thinking it didn't work.

Although the stock galaxy s shutdown animation isn't the greatest, I have to say its MUCH better than the stock Verizon one. I'm not going to be around a computer for a while, would someone mind posting a silent shutdown.ogg so we could get rid of the stock shutdown sound straight from the phone? Thanks in advance, guys!

If you are not near a computer and just wanna disable sounds at start and shutdown give this a try:
Go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then press the Home key
Go back into the phone dialer clear out previous number and enter *#22745927
Now a box will come up asking for the SPC code. Enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button.
Now you can use these codes.
The dialing code string you have to use is *#<code>#
Audio Tuning
*#28346#
Several audio tuning menus.
I've only tested the two items below:
To silence boot and shutdown audio go to Situation/BOOTSOUND and turn the values to 0. I've tested and confirmed this works.

Bump, works for me on 1.8.3 with Gingerblur
Change the ro.entitlement to false and then add ",tether" next to default on the APN type.
Reboot the phone and enable the hotspot.
You won't get a notification in the taskbar, but just disable it when you're done with it.
hi i have changed. ro.entitlement to flase and reeboted, but it says too much battery and when you press yes it just closes. how is supposed to run when you have it right?

Well, if you changed it to "flase", then I'd imagine it not working.
Anyway, there is no "indication" that the hotspot is working, you need to verify that it is working by trying to connect to it via a computer.

1. I would like to know your process of rooting with gingerblur on 1.83
2. I have added false to that line, what do you mean by add tether to what APN?
3. would you have detailed instructions? like step by step vs. this vague info is just hard to follow.
I have had the best luck by simply changing the apn of att tether to "phone" from "broadband" using a SQL editor.
This allows mms and text messing to dynamically chose the correct apn (no manual downloading mms messages) and they icon works.

Those instructions are completely, patently obviously crystalline. You should go google your google os then reread. Seriously, don't ask to be served on a silver platter. Read, understand and ask for specific clarification on a step that confuses you if google and forum search fail you. Rooting is well documented. Get unlazied for that one. Which apn should you consider adding tether to? Probably the one you are using, common sense would dictate. (Further extension of common sense states that you might need to make a new apn that is a copy of your current one with changes for this.)
Mine worked without adding tether to my apn! I don't know that this particular step is necessary. I've downloaded several hundred MB's through my phone on Steam without adding tether to my apn, but YMMV.

I already had added in WiFiHotspot, didnt try download booster. Does it actually work? It took some hackery on the s5 to get it to work besides just adding the toggle.

Nice work @muniz_ri, how were these lists (Light, Medium, Extreme) defined?

I don't think it does. I can still turn regular & ultra power save mode on/off without any weird errors. Be warned using the extreme debloat as in the script it removes the GoogleContactsSync and GoogleCalendarSync. Just edit the batch file and remove the two and save before you run. Found out the hard way after the fact why my Google contacts were not syncable after customizing everything. If you've already run the that extreme option in debloater you will have to reflash the ROM and reconfigure it all form scratch.
Anyways, great contribution OP as it has given new life to my S5's battery. Now lasts much longer and runs great!
Can this be used with OF3 also? Thinking yes, but thought I would ask.
Yes, it worked fine for me
any change to get a similar one for G870A (active)?
I have a problem and am not sure how to fix it. I used this last night before bed and it worked great. This morning I realized I that the top level also wiped out my samsung acct and s health. So I tried to do a factor wipe and now I'm stuck in a loop where it keeps popping up "Unfortunately Samsung account has stopped" and I can't finish redoing the phone. I can add my gmail acct but it keeps going back to that when the popup occurs. I thought I could open Odin to just reflash - G900A_OF3_Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_ROM but I can't get Odin to see the phone and say "ready".
Any ideas?
Phenomenal script, thanks! Wish I had time to make a GUI "front-end" based on this. Took me a bit to figure out which packages were exactly what.
Tip: If doing an extreme de-bloat, use TiBu to freeze com.samsung.android.securitylogagent(KNOX logging). It was causing battery drain due to wake locks since I removed just about every piece of Samsung bloat.
since we can't root lollipop, I found this program to be helpful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 - here's my blocked apps list to import (right click and import).
EDIT: I did this and turned back on animations in developer settings (previously off to 0.5) - and a reboot. I think debloating things really helped speed up the phone - everything seems smoother.
just making sure, but will this work for samsung galaxy s5 SM-900A or is it for s5 active?

I can confirm that it will work for the g870a. I tried both oc5 and of3. Light, medium, and extreme all work. The extreme really impressed me with all the unnecessary bs that some debloaters miss.

Enable New Dark Mode setting for Google Phone (it's beta, but usable) - Root required

Hey everyone, I did a search and didn't see a quick guide posted about this so I thought I would write one up with some pictures real quick.
Pre How To Notes:
* the usual I am not responsible for your device, if you mess it up its on you etc etc. Make a back up or have an apk ready.
* I have only tested this on the v30= but im sure it will work on all devices running Google Dialer Beta 24.0.214850721 ( https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...gle-phone-24-0-214850721-release/#description ). I am part of the Dialer beta and was not pushed the beta 24 release, so I had to manually update it to this one. The needed setting do not exist in beta 23.
* I am using the following 3 Magisk modules - Google Dialer and Contacts for OP5 and/5T - Android 0 Apt x libraries - Pixel Experience. These may or may not effect anyones ability to enable these features, but since I am going to post and run I figured it was easier to say such now than find out tomorrow that noone could replicate it and this is the reason why.
* I just saw @syndre post a magisk module for the dialer and contacts that is version 24. May or may not work with that, and maybe if you all ask super nice he will make a second magisk module that has dark mode enabled since I have never made a magisk module and wouldnt know where to start.
* You must have "Preferences Manager" installed from the play store (or wherever i guess) in order to do this. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.simon.marquis.preferencesmanager&hl=en_US )
Ok so its fairly simple.
How To enable Dark Mode on Android Dialer
1) Open Preferences Manager (make sure it has root priv) scroll down to "Phone" app and select it.
2) Scroll over to dialer_phenotype_flags.xml and find the setting G__enable_dark_mode_setting and switch it from "false" to true
3) Now find com.google.android.dialer_preferences.xml and find the setting for display_options_dark_mode and switch that one from 'false' to "true".
4) Close out, force stop google dialer, reopen the dialer.
5) Go to dialer Settings, and select Display, then check Dark Mode - Enable.
Boom, you're done. Its a little buggy but it works and I havent had any issues.
Let me know if you have any questions
:good:I just replaced dialer in Pie with the modified version!! Dark theme is awesome at night, Thank you!! :highfive:
the extra app isn't urgently needed for editing the xml files these files are stored in
/data/data/com.google.android.dialer/shared_prefs
and can be edited with a simple text editor capable of root rights.
thanks for finding and sharing :good: merci

No problem and Thank you @seadersn .
I was originally going to get into a whole additional paragraph or two of alternative methods to enable the necessary flags but decided to just use Preferences Manager as the example because it seemed like the most foolproof and easiest way for any level of user to accomplish the necessary steps.
And I figured that anyone with more advanced capabilities would spot what was being done overall and could accomplish the changes however they were most comfortable performing them (your post of course being a prime example of it accomplishing just that)

Just taking a quick look it looks like those files have too much personal information in them for me to just straight-up replace them completely with a module. I think that one line of the preferences file needs to be edited by hand somehow by anyone this right now until the implemented fully. I changed the one line showing in the screenshot and notice there was a toggle switch in the dialer app now, switching that makes it look like the third screenshot. I can't use it like that, lol

Can't get this working on my rooted lg v30. When I open preferences manager I have to show system apps to see Google phone. Then I have to scroll right to find data_rollout_dark_mode and set to true. Then scroll right again to display_options_dark_mode and set it to true. Force close app and no option for dark mode in display options when I open it.

I kept picking at it, and eventually edited the correct strings. I've got working dark mode.
the new v25 magisk module containing newest dialer version does indeed look good with dark mode just tried it again, it looks much more better than in the last version. i think next version will contain it officially, there's a new "__data_rollout__DarkMode.EnableDarkModeRollout__launched__" bool.

Yes, that's the version I'm using. I agree, I think the dark version looks very nice. I'm a fan of darker themes.
