fm radio

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is an easy way to install LG FM radio on custom ROMs? I already tried to put apk in / system/app without luck.
It opens, but everything is mock.
Cheers Jesper

The very first rule of XDA is to always search before asking anything.
Or you could just open your eyes, as the post directly below yours had the word RADIO in the title :banghead:

Thanks for or reply, but I was actually asking about LG FM apk - not spirit FM. I already read that post BTW.

It's no possible by now to instal LG FM RADIO crying on custom rom..it's do not works because missing framework files dependecies and probably also lib files..
You can test,you must copy apk in system app ,set permission 644 and reboot..But the app do not launch anything,it's no work..
So i think that it's simple to use the great spiritfm that works very very well,also with rds and other features..

As is constantly said, installing any of the vendor apps is almost impossible on a custom ROM as it requires the vendor framework which is protected by copyright laws.

Thanks everyone for the answers. At least now I won't spend any time trying to make it work:0)

Mobile Hotspot modded to skip provisioning check (VZW)

Hi all. I have obtained a modded version of the Mobile Hotspot provisioning for Verizon. This should let you use hotspot without paying VZW for the feature that is free to any non-VZW rom users..
TO CLEAR UP ANY CONFUSION: I am NOT the original developer of this mod. I was directly contacted by the modder who wished to remain anonymous due to the potentially grey legal area of a mod such as this.
Suffice to say that I am not stealing credit, and that I am posting it specifically to act as a shield to the original dev, as per their request. If I need to give a name to avoid flak, then I'll just remove the post rather than break my promise.
UPDATE: The mods are OK with this posrt for now, unless anything happens. So for now it's staying up.
Anywho. Download the file, backup and remove HotspotProvision.apk and HotspotProvision.odex from /system/app/ And then drag in this copy of the apk. Put it's permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot.
You should now be able to set up your mobile hotspot.
I am posting this from my tethered computer
HotspotProvision.apk (98 KB)
Note that I DID NOT CREATE THIS.
If this for some reason is not allowed on here, please let me know and/or delete the post.

Works like a charm, thanks.

I used root explorer. Renamed files to hotspotprovision.old and hotspotprovisiono.old. Copied in the the apk file, set permissions. About to go on a road trip and this was much needed.

Hooray!

Followed OP directions to a T
When I click on Mobile Hotspot I get an error.
EDIT: Ignore me, I had the Verizon Mobile Hotspot apk frozen

Did you make sure to remove the original apk AND odex?
did you change the permissions?
are you on the OTA? (so was I)
Im not sure why this wouldn't work for you.

You need both, because you have to modify system files.

will VZ know I am using the default app?

highly doubted. Worst case scenario is it wont work and you get a charge for the tethering fee. But that isn't the case. If you're worried, wait for AOSP of some flavor with built in tethering

Here's the Mobile Hotspot apk and odex, from the stock rom posted by scrosler. Unzip this, then copy them both to /system/app, and reboot. You might need to set permissions? notsure

Nice....Thank you for posting this. OP post instructions were perfect. The one thing I am noticing about all these mods is that the OP are telling people to delete these original files, when all you have to do is rename them if you don't want to back them up or are nervous about deleting them. Again, thank you!!

Working here,
Tethering now,
Thanks

Oooh... very nice! Does this also work with USB tethering?

[FULFILLED] Needed VVM app from Droid Turbo stock rom

Can someone PLEASE post the Verizon visual voicemail app for me? I need the apk.

Are you not able to share system apk files yet?
I was hoping you could send me the Voicemail app by just sending me the zip file that ZipMe creates. Its FREE and shouldn't take too long.
I'd even be willing to offer a reward!! Ha...just PM me if interested and you are willing to help.
Thanks!!

Hey!! You're the man! I'm having an issue with installing it, so I'm thinking there's possibly an ".odex" file in that same directory that I would need. Do you see one?

Out of curiosity, why do you need the Verizon Voice Mail app? Since we don't have root, you couldn't have possibly deleted yours.. (or maybe you don't have a Verizon phone??)

Ah, sweet!! Thank you for doing this!! I actually have a Verizon HTC One M8. I'm rooted and all, just have had a stressful few months trying to get VVM installed on anything that's not Sense (stock based). I'm running a CM12 ROM at the moment and am doing everything I possibly can to get VVM on it...need it for work.
I had no idea you didn't have root yet Damn! Well, I'm sure one day soon you'll wake up and see the Droid Turbo thread flooded with people celebrating the new found root method! ...just sayin
Yeah, seriously... THANKS again!! Save me as an xda contact, and if I can EVER help you in any way, you can bet I will try!

Hey, glad I could help! I was on CM since CM7 (and still have CM for my Nexus 10, Moto G and Galaxy S3 (both are my test phones)...
But I never thought anyone would actually want Verizon apps running when they have root already lol..
If I could, I would purge them from my Droid Turbo... I HATE seeing the VM service running on my phone, so I kill it manually every time, since I can't disable it)
Well.. again, if you need anything other VZ apps, just let me know.

Sorry for the noobness,,,,,but could guide me as to how to install files both onto my N6? I have a N6 bought from T-Mobile that I'm using on Verizon. All is good except that my Visual VM is not working because the Verizon VM app is not there. Hopefully if I can install this I can get it to work.
Thanks

The easiest way for you would be to save the 2 files (rename the .zip to .odex) and click on the the .apk file with a File Manager and select "Install" when asked. Make sure you have the "Install from Unknown Sources" enabled (from Setup, Security).
Good luck!

Hi. Wondering if this will work on pretty much any VZW phone. And do you just rename the .zip to .index and place in appropriate directory? Thanks.

It should...
Rename the .zip to .odex and place both files in the same directory and use a file manager program to install. (Make sure you have the "Install from Unknown Sources" enabled.
Or if you have root, you can place them in the /system/priv-app/ directly (no need to install)

Wondering if you go this to work?

Just curious where you found this? Giving credit is always the polite thing to do. I found a guide from cstayton to modify it. I will be including the fixed apk in the next version of XDK if cstayton allows it.
Also thank you for sharing this.

will this work on the 4.4.4 update ?

Ok so @iamthedj and everyone else using this did you remove tetheringautomation.apk and add tetheringprovision.apk instead or do you have both of them? I don't use tethering but I want to make sure I have this correct for xdk 1.1

I removed it and just added the new apk changed permission and it was good to go

Just to make sure, this modded file will allow for unlimited data tether on the S5?
My wife just upgraded her S3 to the S5 and got spoiled between being grandfathered in the $30 unlimited data plan and running CM11 with the ability to tether her tablet.

OK: feeling as stupid as always:
Using ES file explorer (yes have the extreme rom finally running good, and verified I have root, safesurf, su, and checkroot).
I don't see a systemroot folder.
I did turn root explorer on in the es file explorer, and show hidden files.
Even went and installed ROOT browser app from g-play.
even gave it root.
AM I CRAZY? I dont see a systemroot/ directory.
and yes, I know that / is root, and stuff might (in *nix) be in the /bin, or local, or whatever directories, and I tried all of them.
I have
/system/app
NO /system/apps directory !!!
/sys/firmware (empty)
/root (empty)
/sys/kernel
I'm on a SM-G900A (AT&T) with the Extreme debloat v2.3 RC naked touchwiz build
with 4.4.2
please tell me I'm not going crazy, or forgetting 30 years of UNIX administration!

When I try to install it comes back as app not installed. An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed.
I had previously tried using the exposed apk but it did not work for me. Any ideas?

SM-N9200 HK version root?

Hey guys, do any of you know if we have root already for this version for Note5?

I found this the other day:

But... I don't speak Chinese and I don't know that website so I'm not risking it. Would love to get a root on my HK SM-N9200 as well.

Thanks bro. I don't think I will risk it either. There are also no comments there that confirm that it works...

Good luck!

Since you have the N9200 as well, could you do me a massive favor? I'm really dissatisfied with the scrolling behavior on mine. I've made a thread about it in the General section.
Could you let me know what software version you are on? Have updated to the latest one (N9200ZHU1AOI1)? But most importantly: do you notice stuttering behaviour in scrolling through apps like Google Play store, Youtube, Facebook etc...?
You can capture the behavior by following the steps described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/note-5-scrolling-behaviour-t3195672.
Thanks in advance!

No problem, I'll try to get to it as soon as I get home, Going to Uni now.
Though I must say that I dont really use those apps because I live In china. If I use them I have to open Astrill VPN. I just Tried it with facebook, and it seems pretty smooth, except when it loads new content because of Chinas great firewall.
(Im also on the new version, but today I tried the "Package debloat" app from the Q&A section and disabled 150 or so apps)

So does anyone found any clue for N9200 root (OI1 firm) ???

Still no :\

@Seven Winds @tisfo @Willyman just got my device, im on it.
got twrp so far..
roots next..
then arter's kernel with dual sim intact..
Edit:
current progress and planned
unlock bootloader
install twrp
backup everything
reboot
notice GAPPS get removed when you unlock
verify my knox container still works (says KNOX has been locked contact your IT admin need to change lock type)
flash stock n9200 kernel with ',verify' removed (aka allows system to be mounted and modified, without this change a kernel cant boot a rooted system)
reboot and verify knox container still works (same message)
flash gapps reboot and verify
flashing back gapps didnt restore everything i was missing (looked like every app i downloaded from play store was also removed), so i reflashed the stock system i pulled out of odin tarball
restoring data
Damn im glad I backedup everything as soon as I got recovery, first boot after unlocked BTloader, it was next reboot that it deleted all my data ( so after reinstalling stock system and restoring my data, everything is back to how it was)
*** im here ***
twrp su root
reboot and verify knox container still works
flash arter kernel that I merged n9200 sources for dual sim support
reboot and test
(ii know knox wont work with any other customer kernel (i really want knox workspace with custom roms and plan on making it work)

Thank you gundal for your hard work!

I am using n9200 HK version. And I rooted my note 5 already!
Thanks for my friend in China, he helped me a lot and everything works fine.
I also installed xposed framework in my note 5.

Can you please share links to the files you've used? I tried to install twrp via Odin and I'm getting error RQT_Close and the phone writes something in chinese in the download mode.
Any customer ROM for dual sim yet?
