Hidden fetures - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

every since I found out about the hidden call recorder and hidden download booster I can't help but think, is there more fetures AT&T Is hiding from us? I have been doing a lot of research on the subject and to my surprise I can't find anything about hidden fetures on the gs5 even when making spacific searches about "unlocking hidden fetures with root access" I can't find one single thing... does anyone here know of any unlockable hidden fetures on the gs5 other than the above mentioned? I'm fairly new to the whole root scene but have become addicted to searching through code just to see if I can find something I can change on my phone (yes I know this is risky but i have back up phones and I back up everything before changing anything) anyway any info anyone could give me about unlockable fetures or things I should try in general would be much appreciated. . Thanks in advance

How to enable call recording and download booster in hidden menu ?

For starters neither me nor the person that gave the directions are responsible if you brick your device or end up with system errors or unstable system in general....
XDA won't let me post the link to the call recorder because I am a new member here.... so you will have to do a Google search on enabling the hidden call record on the s5...
To enable download booster this is what I did download nova launcher start nova launcher long press home screen click shortcuts click activities scroll down untill you see settings click that scroll down until you see download booster click it.. it will put a shortcut on the nova launchers home screen for download booster click it activate enjoy...
I can't take credit for either set of directions as I am not the one who discovered it I can't remember who I got the download booster intrusions from but it was on the XDA site.. the other I found just by down research....

I have enabled download booster but it seems is not working

Not sure what to tell you... do some research... that's what I do.... the booster uses wifi and service providers internet to boost downloads OVER 30MB so if you are not connected to wifi and the download is not over 30MB in size it's not going to do anything..

I've had my s5 for a couple months now and here's some pretty cool tricks/ tips I've come across:
(I am not to blame for a bricked phone; processed with common sense and at your own risk)
- Adding new toggles
- Changing the notification panel icons from circles to squares by editing your build.prop "ro.product.device" and "ro.product.name" From "klteatt" to "jflteatt"(s4 notification panel and recent apps?)
- Have not tested this... Adding quick connect and s finder button to notification panel by changing "ro.product.device" and "ro.product.name" to "kltetmo "
- Have not tested this... Att has limited the cloud backup and restoring function of this phone so you can not backup and restore useful data such as mms, sms and call logs(?) I was able to bypass this by uninstalling the stock samsung account app and installing a new one.(Will try to upload apk I used if not just google)
- $tt has also crippled the stock my files and gallery app so you cant use the Dropbox function on either app(probably so you'll use their cloud service). Haven't found a work around but flashing to a t mobile rom will have the feature enabled on both apps.
- tip - Save time managing your files by using multi window mode with 2 my files app open, you can drag selected content from one screen to the other screen to save time.
Hope I helped someone

Thanks dude I'll be checking these out! Any custom roms you recommend for a noob? I already have safestrap and have backed up everything ready to start flashing just not sure where to start.....

I'm using a mostly stock t-mobile based rom it might not be loaded with features but it's stable. I've tried dynamic kat but the battery was draining too much in standby even when I tried disabling a lot of features and apps.

I've been running Dynamic Kat for a few months ( pretty much since it was released ) I loved it and had great battery life. It would last anywhere from 1.5 - 2 days. I'm now running alliance rom. I ran it about a week ago and the battery want very impressive so I went back to Dynamic Kat, but got bored today so I flashed back to alliance and disabled a few more things and greenified alot of stuff so I'll see how it works now

Thanks for all the info keep them coming! I'm downloading visix at the moment and will download these others as soon as I get a chance

I've had the download booster working on my phone. I can assure you, that all that nova launcher does is unhides the feature. It does not unlock it or make it work. There is a thread around here as to how to make the download booster work, but the fix is kind of unstable and works best on firmware G900AUCU1ANCE. It will break private mode, and on another firmware, has a tendency to break the camera and the gps. I don't know if it works at all on the most recent update. I'm on the one in between, G900AUCU2AND3. I could go back, but I prefer to keep the Reactivation lock over the download booster.

Fair enough I just now tested it out and your right it don't work witch sucks.. when I first unlocked it using nova I had nothing over 30mb to test it on nor do I have WiFi at my house so I had to wait to go to my bro-in-laws just to test it looks like I'll be doing more research on this.... I am still looking to test out other roms so anyone that has any suggestions on good roms to try out let me know I'm currently running visix witch is pretty awesome by the way

BarTender

We have just released a new application in the market called BarTender:
The application can be found in the category Tools.
Description:
Transform your notification bar into a complete menu!
BarTender allows you to easily add shortcuts and folders onto the notification bar. This way your favorite contacts, applications and other available shortcuts are always easy to access no matter what application you are in.
Let me know if you like it or if you have any requests / bug reports!
Going to check this out right now

Hmm you should do the same thing that the guy that made SetCPU where he posted a free version on XDA and put the donate on the market lol because some of us are too poor ^^
I've been looking for this kind of app for ages now -.- lol
There is now also a lite version available for people to see if they like it.
For folder support and upcoming features you will still have to get the full version, but i think this will give a good idea how the product works.

The Lite version appears to work great, but from what I can tell, it really drains the battery. Is this an isolated incident to me?
It shouldnt drain any battery because all it does is add the notifications and stops itself until you save again ( then it re-adds the newly configured ones ).

[SOLVED] Is There a Way to Hide Icons without LauncherPro?

Hi guys!
I've been searching around for a simple solution to OC/neat-freak people such as myself...
What has been bothering me for the longest time is the fact that some apps that don't really do anything still add an icon to the app drawer even if it is never needed.
Ex. Document Scanner's Add-On (It is literally just a second icon leading to the same program)
There are also some apps that are needed for other people but I, myself, really do not need to see or access them.
Ex. SuperUser, BusyBox
And there are others that come right out of the box courtesy of Google but I can't uninstall because it will mess things up.
Ex. Google Talk
I eventually found a solution to this using LauncherPro and other launcher alternatives since they all have the feature of hiding whatever application icon you choose...but the thing is:
I don't really like the look of it. I want to stick to the default look of my Samsung Galaxy S (Yes, I like TouchWiz!) It looks a lot nicer, IMHO. And it feels so much smoother also. I also like to organize my app drawer the way I want which is easy to do with TouchWiz.
I know Android ideally uses the homescreens for all the apps you need or use the most and everything else gets hidden in the app drawer..but I like keeping my homescreens tidy with widgets and very few shortcuts only.
So I was wondering...if LauncherPro can implement the feature of app hiding (which really just shows a list of all your apps and let's you check whatever apps you want hidden) then isn't there a mod or a simple app out there or that can be made that simply does this? I don't mind paying a bit.
* After a bit of digging, I came across an old thread on this forum by Irrenhaus about his Advanced Launcher. He apparently customized the launcher that came with Cyanogen (I only skimmed his post, sorry!) where he implemented a lot of great features like folders in the app drawer, app icon hiding and the like. I am very much interested in these features...but again I really don't want to change the look of my Samsung Galaxy S.
* I saw a lot of people posting the TouchWiz Launcher apk for use with other phones... is it possible then to just modify the twlauncher.apk file and implement these other features just like Irrenhaus did? If so, can someone go about doing this for me? I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount. I really do not know how to do this on my own...
* I saw some random dead-end posts in other forums that state that by deleting a line in an app's code or something you can allow the app to install without placing a shortcut. I'm not sure if it works though since there were no replies after that...
Here is the line of code in the manifest file to remove:
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
Is this possible with downloaded apps? Seems illegal to tamper with other people's codes... Or is that just a solution for people who make their own apps... I am only familiar with Java so I don't know how to go about these code modifications in Android.
I'm sorry for the lengthy-looking post! I hope I can get some answers or suggestions soon enough.
Thank you all in advance!
SOLVED!!!
Nvm! Found an app for this!
The app is called "Smart Bar" the dev says it currently doesn't work well for Froyo but I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S running JPM ("official" froyo) right now and the hide app feature works just fine.
Best of all, it's completely free! It also has a ton of interesting/useful features. I have yet to play around with the other features so I can't confirm they all work in JPM.
At first I was afraid that the app would literally just "disable" but not delete the app via the renaming the apk method since when one clicks to hide an app it says "Disabling ____" ...so I thought oh great it hides the app icon and stops it from working too... But I tried it out with the Document Scanner Add-On and it still works fine from the main app.
Hope this information helps people out! Should be very useful for people who want to hide those add-ons and packs that for some reason have their own icons upon installing but just need the main app.
Nice

Have anyone got the solution as i am also looking for a app to hide only icon.I do not want to disable app.I just want to hide some apps.
i also would like to know the answer to this, the method you have added is okay but unfortunately theres no solution to starting the process eg. i have added an option to open superSU, STK etc in settings, that option will not work with it hidden...

[ROM] RevOidOptT for Optimus T USA [Wifi Calling, fixed MMS, more]

I felt there was a need for an updated rom dedicated to the Optimus T (USA). I could not find a proper rom with both Wifi Calling and fully-functioning MMS.
Thus, RevOidOptT was born.
Wifi Calling works beautifully and full-size MMS can be sent/received. Also, I incorporated google setup on first boot and edited build.prop to fix locale, currency, and date/time issues.
This is based off Neojn's devoid froyo final and most of the credit goes to him. Thanks, Neojn!
Thanks to blueren for theme and franco for kernel!
IMPORTANT NOTES:
-I am not responsible for bricked devices or any other issues associated with flashing this rom.
-STOCK MMS HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH GO SMS PRO IN ORDER TO FIX MMS SIZING ISSUES ON THE T-MOBILE USA NETWORK. IN ORDER TO SEND/RECEIVE MESSAGES, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
1. OPEN GOSMS, HIT MENU BUTTON AND GO TO SETTINGS. THEN, GO TO IMPORTANT TIPS AND SELECT 'Stock SMS uninstalled?'
2. GO BACK TO SETTINGS, SELECT MMS SETTINGS AND SELECT 'Preserve image resolution'
This should give you fully-functional, full-sized MMS. Joy! Joy! Joy!
ALSO, All other messaging apps work with GO SMS installed, regardless of whether stock MMS is present. So feel free to use any messaging app you'd like. (Just be sure the steps above have been taken)
ROM SPECS:
Kernel:
franco.Kernel.v18.1-cfs (Clocked at 600/245 smartass by default. I suggest switching to 748/320 interactivex for optimal speed/battery combination)
Added apps:
noFrills CPU
BatteryCalibration (run after flashing ROM and fully charging phone to optimize battery life)
Added essential sapps
Wifi Calling
Calculator
Calendar
Browser
Carhome
Quick search
Youtube
Clock
Livewallpapers
Music
Movie player
Replaced apps:
LG Keyboard to GB Keyboard
Stock Gallery to Quickpic (much cleaner/faster)
Stock MMS to GO SMS Pro (see important notes above)
Zeam Launcher to LauncherPro
FileManager to FileExpert (very excellent substitute for those that want root access without paying for Root Explorer)
Theme:
SuperBlue Theme v5 (changed boot animation to android particles and removed wallpaper)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download RevOidOptT
2. Do NAND backup (not required but HIGHLY recommended)
3. Wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats, etc.)
4. Flash RevOidOptT
5. Reboot
6. After going through setup, it will force close, just keep going (only a first-time setup bug)
7. Follow instructions above regarding GO SMS Pro settings
8. May have to clear Market cache in order to get apps to show up in 'My apps"
9. Enjoy

General rule is: It's fine as long as you give credit to the people who did any work that you are using. Kernels, roms, apps, scripts etc, if someone else put their time and effort into it, you should credit + thank them, ideally with a link to where it came from.

Ha good question. Just the app changes I noted and the fixed mms. Plus the theme/kernel for those that want a quick fresh install. Mostly tried to package together a rom that is fully loaded (minus some gapps) for the average user that just wants to flash and go without extra hassle.

I really like seeing roms like this! Will put through the paces soon.
Question: did you make any adjustments to avoid the phone defaulting to british currency and location? It may be the franco.devoid that I am running, but I would imagine all versions are the same in that respect. Morelocale2 app fixes this, but I would still like to find a code/setting fix.

You can add WiFi calling to the Optimus T on any 2.2 - 2.2.2 rom for the 01.

Just flashed this rom, very solid/stable thank you!
One thing tho, is there a way to get the stock txt/mms app on here? Don't like go sms much...
I'm assuming there's a reason gosms is included, maybe a problem sending MMS using the stock app? Just in case, if I can use a stock aosp ...could someone point me to a link?
Just installed this last night and after some playing and testing, I am stoked about finding this ROM! Nice work!!

[Q] Pacman rom + 3 questions goo updates app, voicemail app icon, stock text app

I was just wondering 5 questions actually
1. Why does it always say no files found when I try to browse from my phone in goomanger app
2. Im sure there was a voicemail icon on my homescreen somewhere I can't find it here
3. I could've sworn the stock messaging app had a built in signature settings but now I cant find it
4. Rom manager doesn't see that I have the latest CWM already installed and always says I have to update
5. I wish there was a at&t data usage widget for the home screen sharing 1gb I have to watch my usage very closely

To number one our phone isn't recognized by goo manager so it won't show files through browse. You can search though.
2. If you go into settings inside the phone app you have to reset up your voicemail with your phone number then the icon will appear in your notification bar when you have one.
3. I'm not so sure about I've never used a signature in texts lol. Maybe download a third party app?
4. As with goomanger, rom manager dosent officially support our device so it will show that.
5. Until someone can get circles to work on anything other then stock you could download something from the play store I'm sure.
Edit: found one pretty quickly. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sigterm

Enabling Download Booster [Status Update 5/4]

From what I've seen, download booster was only hidden in settings of S5 from the Consumer. I posted a thread in Sprint S5 talking about how to enable and thought I'd share here as well for general info.
If you'd like to assist in this project, send me a PM. Any and all help appreciated. (need someone who can edit smali as well)
----Enable Download Booster for All variants S5----
1. Download third party launcher
2. Long press homescreen
3. Select shortcuts -> activities
4.Scroll to settings and open
5. Scroll to Download Booster to add to screen
6. Tap new setting icon on homepage
7. Enable and profit
After enabling, you can see download booster in notification bar grayed out until usage. You CAN unistall third party launcher afterwards if you desire since download booster still activated.
Edit 4/16: WIP, still testing to see what may work. Any info towards file on variant where download booster is enabled would be appreciated (ie, extracting file from T mobile version and posting on forum). Will try to work on it. Currently looking into the S4 forums towards the path and edits needed to make it work.
EDIT 4/18: need framework-res.apk and SecSettings.apk from phone variant that has download booster as an option so I can try to port it to our device.
EDIT 4/23: so Ive gathered the T mobile versions of the apks and decompiled. Ive managed to get the download booster in Sprint Variant settings as of now and easy enable from touchwiz (see screenshot). Still working to fully enable.
EDIT 4/26: see post 30 screenshot, need to find this file location.
EDIT 4/26 #2: after help from miked63017 pointing me to a post by eyecon82, along with what I've found from various ROMs and Db files/etc, I have enabled Download Booster in the Notification Panel drop down (see screenshot). Now to get it fully working.
EDIT 4/28: after decompile of SystemUI, NWBooster actually has many places within, mostly smali edits needed to enabled under Network Controller. The Network Booster is actually related (by searching the SQLite Editor->Settings Storage->Settings.db->system->search for "Smart") to Smart Bonding to the Quick Tile for NWBooster. Also, through decompile of the SystemUI, under Network Controller, I noticed a ro.config.combined_signal (still deciding what this actually is based on file).
EDIT 5/4: I've linked the download booster (aka nwbooster/network booster/smart bonding) to WFC (also called Wificalling). By noticing that smartbonding (under settings.db from SettingsProvider) that Wificalling AND Download Booster both tripped the smart_bonding to become 1 from 0 (showing enabled). I looked again into the Settings.apk decompiled and found that DBooster IS linked to WifiCalling, meaning we get one enabled, we get both. I also know, that under /System/framework that TmoWfcUtils.jar exists which DOES have functioning into why T-mobile has both the Wificalling and Download Booster enabled. I believe this jar has something to do with Dbooster and it being enabled. If you'd like to assist in this project, please PM me.
Unfortunately, that doesn't do anything. Maybe (hopefully) it'll help the process along for a dev to find a way to truly implement the feature, but for right now...that toggle is just for show.
Download booster is already in my settings menu, I had a small update yesterday, not sure if that was part of it. I have not really tested it yet though.

Not option yet for Sprint/ATT/Verizon devices yet, I dont believe there has been update for our devices to enable this option. If you could see back to new update in OP, I need framework-res.apk and SecSettings.apk to see if I can port over to our phones since update may not come for some time (do not have ETA on when theyd do that).

Sprint/ATT/Verizon all do not have download booster option even possible. No one has ported this to our devices yet (as to my knowledge).

Download booster is only turned off for AT&T and Verizon customers. Sprint and Tmobile are still allowing it due to truly unlimited plans.

Sprint doesn't have it even though they have unlimited data

Testing it was a disappointment, I really didn't notice any difference in download speed but there again I think three had issues tonight with data, 4g and h+ were both incredibly slow at about .5 mbps ?

Revelation, thats what I was saying. Someone will have a fix in the next couple days. Phone only came out the 13th. You guys know your stuff when it comes to getting rid of the stuff carriers add or break that the phone should be capable of doing anyhow.
And if I could post up speedtest jpg I would. 33Mb/s d/l and 6 Mb u/l. But the download booster wasnt lighting up on the status bar. So I am guessing it was just using wireless in the house.

Yeah, as of now until I can work on trying to get the booster to work via editing files and apks, the icon will be there yet no function. Hopefully it'll come in few days but, unless someone in community develops it first and ports, sprint I don't count on releasing update soon (hopefully wrong and sprint would do that). I'll be working on it as well as others to get this working.
Not on sprint.....

I have the sprint S5 and we do not have the download booster ;-[
Revelation, how would one go about getting those apk's? After rooting I would imagine, but total noob here. I just use the ROMs after you guys cook them.
Currently still stock and no rooted yet on Tmobile. Just finished getting it all set up. Going from S2 with KitKat from Thddude to this thing is a bit of a change...LOL!

Since you have t mobile, you need root of course. Once rooted, use file explorer to navigate to individual apks and then basically copy/paste into another folder so you could post here. Secsettings.apk in system-> priv-app and framework-res.apk in system-> framework folder. OP had apks needed based on what I saw on S4 and what they extracted in S5. I'm going to dig in their first once I get t mobile or other variant files (preferably t mobile since only still US carrier to have download booster enabled as option). Hopefully if I find the source of where disabled, I can recompile the apks to work on all variants. If I don't find it in those apks, I'll keep looking based on what I see in other claims to being download booster enabled.

Ok if I can post up my dropbox correctly Revelation, I should be able to get this to you. However I couldnt get the priv-app file. Couldnt find it. Only the folder named that. Total noob with Unix anything...
go to dropbox.com/s/l1tdljwtlv2yhu9/SecSettings.apk <<< remove spaces before dropbox to get that one.
same thing dropbox.com/s/936v90266784vt2/framework-res.apk <<<same thing. Just remove one space.
Hope that it helps out somewhat. Then I may feel like I actually contributed something.

Thank you, everything counts towards to get it working.
OP Updated, see edits over course so far of what I've found out. If someone knows smali coding a bit more, need some to be looked over since found some lines needing to be modded. PM me if you can look over code and know how to edit the smali.
Is there a way to have download booster turning on while doing a Speedtest?

What for? Just to see the mark go higher? That feature is really useless unless you have an unlimited data plan (or you are rich).
