The modified file is others.xml it goes into system/omc/VZW. If you use FlashFire all you have to do is flash my zip. Otherwise you can extract my zip and copy the file manually.

oops, sorry, let me rephrase that...
where do the recorded calls save to?

I installed the Volte status remove download and it worked last night and this morning but when I got to work I noticed the icon was back but now it is black instead of white. I haven't downloaded or installed anything else. No other themes and still on the stock theme from Samsung. It really isn't a big deal but I just thought I would mention it and see if anyone else had that happen. I do not have the best signal at my house and will go between 1x, 3g and 4g all during the day but at work I am always on 4g so I wonder with it switching if it caused the Volte icon to reappear. I did re-flash it thru Flashfire and the icon went away again.
Edit. Just made my 1st phone call since last night and now native call recording is gone. I know it was there last night because I tested it on a call after flashing it. I am going to re-flash it again but not sure why both of these mods are disappearing when nothing else has been downloaded or installed. Once again not a big thing just wanted to mention it. I appreciate all the hard work being put into this phone from everyone!

Have you seen the Dual Speaker Mod? Confirmed to work on Verizon N7. You can add it to the list as well.

I updated the Volte zip. I ran it all day yesterday and nothing, then this morning I got the black icon. I have since removed it. Let me know. The call recording is there and cannot be removed unless you flashed something else or are running xposed.

Yea haven't installed xposed or anything since the call recording. I will download the new zip for Volte and test it. So far since I have replaced the call recording it has stayed. Thanks for the help!

Which version are you running? 16? or?

Just got home and the Volte icon is back and is black. The only thing I have done is reconnect to my trucks bluetooth. I have no clue what causing but it's not a huge deal.

Market Fix for Leaked Froyo

Install it via rom manager or clockwork. Backup prior to doing so.
If things do not show up immediatly, try installing some random app and see if it populates then.
Otherwise, it will happen the next time the market data sync with the phone.
http://www.4shared.com/file/yHlfPvuv/fingerprint_froyo.html
are there any reasons not to do this? will this lead to bad dependencies? incorrectly installed applications?
What problems can this cause? Is this fixable?

A. This isn't Redhat, circa 1997. Android doesn't work that way.
B. Either they install, or they don't.
C. Problems it can cause? It can prevent Incredible only and/or Verizon only applications from showing up. I don't forsee that being an issue, ever so...
This is a simple build.prop change so that the market will show all paid apps.
Before:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/212490:user/release-keys
(Market: wtf is this?)
After:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys
(Market: Oh hai, Nexus One!)
Thanks
This worked for me and I got the Documents to Go paid version which was the only thing that I was needing. I had some problems with it kicking me off the network and having to use wifi to connect. After a reboot I was back on the network though so I don't know if that had anything to do with adding this.
Out of curiosity is there a way that I can go back to what it was so that when the market gets fixed it would work like it is suppose to? I saw in the build.prop file what you changed and thought I could just change that back but I wanted to ask before I did.
Thanks so much for this.
This will break custom boot animations?

Thanks for this, one of my paid apps wasn't showing up, this did the trick!
Ok the reason I asked was because someone in ##incredibleroot said it would cause problems
Did they specify what?
Random text about causing problems from someone in IRC without a reason of what or why is pretty worthless.
adrynalyne,
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
Here is a new version that includes the streaming audio fixes.
http://www.4shared.com/file/RjEL6jSz/market_streaming_fix_froyo.html
To have the market checkin right away do the following so you don't have to wait or download any other BS apps.
1. Open the Phone app
2. Dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#* (2432546) ** When you type the last "*" what you typed will disappear.
3. Wait for the message on the notification bar to say "checkin succeeded."
4. All paid apps that were missing should be available.
Thanks.

I guess I'm the only one that has great streaming audio quality. I use Pandora and even before changing the audio quality setting to "High" it didn't sound bad. I wonder what that is that makes it hit or miss on these devices.
Anyways, I just wanted to point out that the AAC fix really slows the phone down a bit. It changed my quadrant scores from 1200's down to 790-800.
Just a FYI.
P.S. Thanks for the Market fix!
i have the htc music widget on my homescreen. after installing the update with the streaming audio fixes whenever i reboot my phone my music starts playing automatically. now when i remove the widget and reboot the music doesn't play.

Volte and samsung stock sms limit change when volte turns on

I dont know if anyone notices this but my stock messanger had it's limits changed from 12 pages 150 some charachters per page to a 999 countdown just like it would when id activate volte on my note 5. I communicate by large texts a lot so this kind of sucked for me. Seeing there was no way to check right away cause of no volte setting anymore im thinking volte isn't activated right away till a call is made that can use volte cause i always had the larger character limit till today. Finally a little while ago i used App Shortcut Maker from the market which allowed me to make a shortcut for the volte setting/hd voice, i have no clue where the setting is buried to find normally but in the shortcut creater it was under the 2nd phone icon then under /kthdvoicesetting, but sure enough it was checked & after i unchecked it now i have my larger up to 12 page 150 some character per page limit back. Hopefully this can help some people out who need the larger text limit or others just wondering why this is happening out of nowhere or wanting to turn hd voice on or off. Just create a shortcut for your homescreen & you can change the setting.
Hey Dear. I need your help Please can you send me System/App/imsservice foldef. You can do it with root explorer.it working Without Root.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the help to get VOLTE off

Are you trying to remove the volte icon in the statusbar or something? Just asking cause i seen that folder holds them icons in it i think. If so there's a very easy setting to turn that icon off. It's also another setting without any normal way to get to it but i know how.

No Mate i need that file for S6 Note 7 Port rom please if you can send me that.
It's Advanced messaging that turns on. Also you get a 10MB file limit instead of 1MB. Without VoLTE you cant keep those limits.

Hey thank you so much for that info. I never even knew i could send a mms larger than 1.2mb even with that on. I always wondered why in the world there was options to send videos straight from the camera if they always said to large to send. Now im just going to make an on off switch for my home screen so i can always leave the hd voice setting on & just click it off when i need to send a larger msg that i dont want to send as mms. Much appreciated.

[App] SystemUI Tuner - By Zacharee1

Please see this thread by a recognized developer i met over on the LG V20 side of things,
Went ahead and tested it against the note 8 without root, you do have to send 3 strings ( Now just 1 set! )of commands via ADB to get it working but this is a one time thing.
This is practically the UITuner android builds into their software and the OEMs seem to kill it for whatever reason. Go to to his thread to check it out and show him some love and thanks. The app is available for free in the google play-store as well.
Practically can be done by a toddler as long as you follow the steps the app asks you to do! Very Simple and super useful!

Have you found anything this cannot do yet? Meaning, from the screenshots on the Play Store, it says some status bar icons cannot be disabled by Samsung phones, have you found that to be true on the Note8 yet? I have the phone but I haven't installed this yet, was looking for a solid solution to removing the useless NFC icon that Samsung always displays, as well as a way to change the awful Bluetooth icon to the AOSP (or as similar as possible) version.
Thanks!
I'm with you man... I hate having the alarm icon on all the time. I know, I know... I ALWAYS have an alarm set!
My note8 doesn't show NFC icon or alarm icon. I use timely so maybe that's why it does show up when I have pending alarms coming up or snoozed iirc. Sprint n8 if that matters

I hate it too. I understand when you get that msg with headphones but why I get it with my damn car BT! There was an article at xda that you can turn it off with AutoTools and some ADB commands, but that is not working with Samsung devices at least for me with S7E atm. I manage to fix it with Tasker and AutoInput.

Mine cannot hide carrier id, both standard and auto-detect mode it's N950N.
Thanks Zachari! This app got me to get rid of the annoying heads up. But I think something went wrong with the display settings. The screen does not go off by itself. I mean the time out does not work.
Can anyone help?
By the way m using Galaxy S8 Plus.
This is a great app for the note8. Nfc, alarm icons gone. The screen rotation icon will show up so had to turn that off too. Bummer that the volume warning does not work. Can also adjust the number of quicksetting columns. Donated to the developer.

I must be retarted, but I can't get the ADB to work with Windows 10 Powershell. Anyone care to help?
I uninstalled the App and now my Notification pulldown icons are all black. Even after applying the default theme for the Note8 the icons are all white and still can't see them. How do you get the icons colors to show back up properly? I booted into stock recovery and did a cache partition wipe hoping how would fix it and no dice. Any help is appreciated.
Used it with the S8+ and the Note 8 to get rid of the battery icon. On the T-Mobile G1 ADB was the only way to get anything done, even a screenshot.
It's a great app I use it for my toggles and hiding my battery symbol and the immersive mode, can't wait for the volume warning to work on the Note 8 though

I was able to get the status bar icons to show back up by installing the app again and using adb on my desktop, but the question remains how do you completely uninstall this app and go back to stock settings? Is the only way to do a factory reset?

VOLTE(Calling plus) Working on Sprint Note 8.

So, I downloaded n app called shortcut master lite cuz I member here on XDA recommended it to fix LTE issues. Don't know of his name but I will edit with his name for credit. But I turned advanced LTE on(u must search for it).Did not notice any difference in LTE. Tried it initially but did not have VOLTE while making outgoing call. But when a call comes in and I answer LTE stays connected. So I went back into the shortcut app and looked up LTE Functionality. Found a setting in there which says VOLTE Test UI then in that setting I turned on the first 2 options which then have me VOLTE both on incoming and outgoing calls. Not sure if it breaks anything but I have mine off cuz not sure if it breaks anything.

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------
so for better instructions to ppl,
1)use short cut master
2)Search for enhancedlteservices (should be com.android.phone.EnhancedLteServices)
3)Launch it and enable Enhanced LTE Services.
4)Next go to com.test.LTEfunctionality and launch LTEFunctionalityTest
5)Go to VoLTE Test UI and Enable first 2 settings to on
6)Extra precaution, restart phone
In no way i'm taking credit for finding this out. just made the steps more simple. Thanks OP for posting this. Please use at your own discretion. I don't know if this will screw up anything but i'm getting both voice and data at same time.

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

Thanks for this!
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.

Are you still having trouble? If so I will walk through it with you and we can get it working.

I've tried a couple more times using different variations of the steps, and still can't seem to get the dark mode to show up in the application.

So I used se text editor to locate the files, and changed false to true. Force close dialer. Opened and still no dark.

I'd be more than happy to enable it if the option showed up. Thanks anyway.
just wait til g. releases it, fully functional; i do wait. atm it's ¾functional only, at its best. there are areas which aren't black-themed, which looks weird sometimes.

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.
