[Q] How to disable ringtone fade in? - Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi,
i've noticed the fade in thing and it started to annoy me. searched the web and didnt find any thing useful just an application called "Volume Locker". any one has a solution for the annoying ringtone thing?
thanks in advance

Same problem with other Samsung phones. What a friend of mine who had omnia did was to use a program like audacity I think and boosted the first second of the sound if i remember correctly
sent from my kyrillos' v.3 fugumod 2.2 BE oc'd JIT enabled nokia 3210

A few weeks ago, i posted the same question here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999208 and no one could give me an answer.
In the next couple of days i found out a solution. Disable "Increasing Ring", thats the name of the "feature".
To disable this, You have to edit the Phone.apk and erase 2 lines from a file, and, obviously you need a rooted phone. I can't remember wich file and wich lines, i'm at work right now and i don't have the files that i modified.
But this fix it located at the SGS forums. I applied to my 5800L with stock jpm, Kyrillos 3.3 Extreme, and now with Lestatious v2.0 (Current Build: 1.7) and no problems so far.
I edited the original Phone.apk from JPM using the original deoexed frameworks. I don't know if using the themed Phone.apk and a modded framework will work.
If you edit the file, you have to disable the status call tones (Settings, Call Settings, All Calls, Status call tones or something like that) or you will get dropped phonecalls. (i edited the file like 4 times before i realize that the problem was that.)
As i said.. this is a "feature" that samsung made to "protect our ears" in case of getting a call while playing music and listening thru the headphones, the ringtone could blast our ears and stuff like that.
I hope that this can help you.

Download File from 1-st post and skip tutorial to the 9 step.
9. Put the phone into Flight mode.
10. Go to apk_manager\place-apk-here-for-modding and push unsignedPhone.apk as Phone.apk into /system/app folder
10.5 Turn Flight mode off and/or reboot the phone to avoid FCs.

I know that this is an old thread, but in the interest of others who may be searching for an easy way to disable this annoying feature that Samsung won't give us a toogle for.......Shumoapp has a free app in the Play Store called, simply enough (Disable Increasing Ring).
I haven't used it long, but it works on my Galaxy Note 2 and stops the annoying fade in.

Need a better mms app

Do anybody know of a better mms app other than the stock and handcent. I'm running DC.3.2.3 Rom the problem is that the stock mms compress the picture way to small. Handcent takes too long to send out the pictures as if it donot want to send. Gmail works perfect just cannot sent to a phone number.
Any suggesting
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
You can always try ChompSMS it's quite popular and very similar to Handcent.
This is the issue that really bugged me, I hated that the stock app couldn't send a file bigger than 14k and didn't like using chomp or handcent. If you are still looking for a more elegant solution, I might have a possible solution. I replaced the mms.apk file in the ROM I was about to flash with the vanilla one (attached) and after booting up it worked perfectly. I like the black background and when I attach a picture it doesn't compress it to crap. I just opened the zip file of the ROM with winrar and deleted the old mms.apk in the sys app folder and dropped the new one in its place. I realize this solution is less than ideal, and there is probably a better way with adb, but I figure soon enough you'll flash an updated ROM anyways.
Try pure messenger, almost like the sense one, almost.

@Nerovingian
Thank you! That was the exact thing I was searching for awhile ago, but people were pointing me towards handcent and chomp (which were overkill for what I wanted). I was looking for white on black background mms app. I don't like the stock because just about everything else in the evo is a dark theme. The mms was obnoxious black on white and was blinding if the lights were out where I was. I hope your app is kosher and will behave itself (if you know what I mean)....
I understand what you mean. If you have any doubt, there is am excellent post in the Android development forum that has all of the vanilla apks. Just search for vanilla topics and you should be golden.
Thanks for the tip
I was always under the impression that the apps compress in order to comply with file size limits per different carriers. Am I mistaken?

I got this
E: Wrong digest:
system/app/Mms.apk
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted
what did i do wrong? I'm running fresh 1.0.1 with amon recovery.
@supwidachew
It worked for me. I went where the original was and renamed it to mms.apk.old. Then I went to the other mms.apk and installed it. No copying. It had some message about replacing something and I just said ok. In the settings of the app, white text on black was checked but not working. I unchecked it then got out of menu and killed the app with a task manager. Started app again and went into settings and checked the box then backed out again. I think I might have done this maybe three or four times before it finally took. I haven't tried sending anything yet so I don't know what's different with that yet.
Wrong word choice and misspelling courtesy of swype.
I have same rom as you but clockworkmod recovery. I didn't flash it, I installed it like any other apk downloaded (not from market )
Wrong word choice and misspelling courtesy of swype.
So this is indeed better than the HTC Messaging app? It doesn't compress pictures horribly? and it still works? Does the sense widget with numbered notifications still work? Does the lock screen message preview still work? Does the status bar message preview still work? Thanks.
ahhh, ok. Let me install it and see how that works.
Allow me to elaborate on my process. I replaced the apk in the ROM file using winrar before I flashed the ROM (see picture to see where I replaced the file) using clockwork recovery, so I haven't tried to install it like a normal apk or through any other method. Since it is the vanilla apk it does not do the lock screen notification where sense shows it, although it does show in the notification bar while locked. Additionally, it does not compress the pictures horribly and I have tested sending and receiving, both which worked. I have only tested my method on Baked Snack 9.7, so I apologize if it does not work on your preferred ROM. Perhaps someone more experienced can offer a better method like using adb?

I'll try tomorrow and let you know. Nandroid is my friend.
If the icon you have on the home screen is the one that was dragged from the app drawer, the answer is no. At least in my setup it wasn't and not an option in settings either. There wasn't a mms widget either
Wrong word choice and misspelling courtesy of swype.
I tried sending a 44kb sound file with the vanilla mms app. It refused to push it out. I tried installing handcent and chomp and try each of them and they both failed. I found where the mms app installed itself and deleted it. Then I renamed the old "mms.apk.old" to mms.apk,rebooted, then the file sent okay. Damn, I was kinda liking the other app too. Hmm, I wonder if I can have both the vanilla and the htc messaging apps installed.... I'm gonna try it now.

Nope, they want to over write each other. I gotta choose...

This does not have numbered notifications on the widget like sense. It has a notification icon in the task bar, it does not do task bar preview like sense. As far as lock screen I dont know.

[MOD]*solved* Kill full battery popups/fix for apps that close on low battery level

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for what happens to your phone-use at your own risk. Always do a nandroid backup before using mods
This is a port of untermensch's vibrant mod found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793653
untermensch said:
my first method did not seem to kill the popup, so I went after the showFullChargePopup() method
itself and this morning woke up and did not find the battery full popup.
to recreate:
1. decompile/de-odex services.jar/odex
2. open "com\android\server\status\StatusBarPolicy.smali" in a text editor
find ".method private showFullChargePopup()V" about line 2779
and remove the entire method all of it from ".method private showFullChargePopup()V"
to .end method
and delete this line at about line 3441
invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->showFullChargePopup()V
3. save, compile and re-odex as necessary
so what this does is completely strip the ability to show the popup
and the call to to the popup method.

Thanx and credit to him for getting us this far, now maybe we can get a bit more accomplished with it for our Epic's.
Here's what I have gotten to work from his instructions, it will kill the popup for full battery while charging when the screen is on.
Screen on Full Batt Popup Killer http://www.mediafire.com/?z73ynyvhb235jmx flash this in clockwork recovery on deodexed system(its just the service.jar but will eliminate any previous service.jar mods) we can always incorporate multiple mods in one service jar later
I am hoing to move forward with this and eliminate the screen off one and if possible kill the power off full battery vibrate alert.
Anyone one else care to join the cause while we wait on froyo?
So Firon took up the challenge and after many hours in irc we got the screen off and charging full battery popup zapped and it doesn't turn the screen on either. Coupled with the mod ported from untermensch we have 2 out of three solved. The vibrate that happens when the phone is off and charging is probably not going to be something we can change but if its figured out it will get put here as well.
To get the screen off/sleeping popup eliminated do the following:
Baksmali android.policy.jar and navigate to classout/com/android/internal/policy/impl/KeyGuardMediator.smali then remove the following line of code found on line 315:
Code:
invoke-virtual {v6, v0}, Landroid/content/IntentFilter;->addAction(Ljava/lang/String;)V
Thanx again to Firon for doing the research on this and hanging around in irc while I put it to the test.
If you want both mods together flash this zip in clockwork on a deodexed system: no full battery popups mod
note that the above combined mods include android.policy.jar and services.jar so if you have any current mods done with those jars they will be over written. They can probably be combined so if you need it done just ask and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks to Firon for fixing some of those stock apps that close on low battery level:
http://firon.net/xda/batterymoddedAPKs.update.signed.zip <-- includes camera,music and videoplayer apks modded by Firon to work past 15% battery
I'll give it a try tonight. Use there a way to eliminate the pop up telling you the phone needs to be charged?

I made a mod for the music player to not die at 15%. I need to test it a little bit to make sure I didn't screw it up. If successful, I'll try extending the mods to the video player, and maybe even the camera.

I have begun searching for these other two instances. So far I have found one file in system/bin/charging_mode but don't know how to open it up to make changes,edits if it even does what I think it does and controls the vibrate when off and full from charging.

What vibrate specifically? I can help, but I don't know what you're trying to remove.

When the phone is turned off and charging it vibrates when full. I don't like this and was hoping to find out how we could stop it. I have been searching endlessly trying to find what is controlling the charging while phone is off with no luck. Any help would be awesome man.
That other mod looks nice too, the music player one. I'd be happy to try the same with the camera if I knew what you did to the music player. Glad to help if I can.
I'm basically trying to drain my phone to 15% so I can test to make sure the apps don't break. My batteries are all fully charged, so it's takin' a while, even while trying to drain as much battery as possible... I can post the apk to try, and I'll document my changes later.
Edit: okay, initial version didn't work properly. Here's a fixed and tested version that will let you play below 15% battery. I'm moving onto the other stock apps now.
All you need to do is remove Music.odex, copy it to /system/app, and chmod 644 /system/app/Music.app
This should work on any ROM. I'll provide a flashable zip once I have all the other apps working properly.
And here's the camera app, also modded to remove the warning.
Just remove Camera.odex, copy the apk to /system/app/Camera.apk, chmod 644.
Tested on my phone, working great, incl. camcorder.
Workin on videoplayer now.
Edit: done with videoplayer! Attached. Delete VideoPlayer.odex
Edit2: flashable zip provided for all 3 of these. Should work on any ROM, deodexed or not. Flash in clockwork and you'll be good to go.

Hm. What ROM are you using? It seems to work just fine on my own system (which is fully odexed), even when flashed through the zip.
Do you have an adb logcat of it failing to boot? I mean, you could just try copying the files and setting perms (644) by hand through adb.
And I could take a look later today.
Edit: re-uploaded the flashable zip. Maybe it'll solve the bootloops for some people. At least one person tested it on irc with success.

OP updated with details on how the screen off/sleeping popup was eliminated as well as a flashable zip that has both popup mods in it. Read the note below the link as this can and will over ride any existing mods done through android.policy.jar and services.jar.
Thanx again to Firon for helping with this last addition

Well if you got it baksmali'd already then you are halfway there. Simply smali it back into a .dex file and rename it classes.dex then stick it back in your android.policy.jar. Here's a post with examples of the commands(one of which you already used) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4152564&postcount=2 the commands need to reflect which version of baksmali you are using of course Hope that helps you.

Call Recording

I've been using synergy and i love the built in call recorder. i'm thinking of flashing to something different what program does synergy use to record? is there an alternative?

I've been looking for this too, non of the market apps seem to work, but synergy had it working perfectly, but I moved on from that Rom.
I think as long as you are still on a TW ICS ROM you should be able to extract the SecPhone.apk from Synergy and use it as if installing any other apk. (May have to manually replace your current SecPhone.apk or phone.apk whichever you have). If you manually do it you do have to reboot before it will take effect.

Try it yourself lol. Just rename the original secphone.apk.bak that way you can go back. It won't screw anything up that you can't fix by just undoing the same steps.

Total Recall by Killer Mobile in the Market works flawlessly.
Been using it for months.
It's a paid app after the initial trial period, but well worth the money, imo.

I honestly use Call Recorder by Skvalex. It works great on AOSP and Touch-Wiz ROMs. It records from the actual line on both incoming and outgoing calls with great quality! Way better than from the microphone! You first have to install AlsaMixer also make by SK Alex. Link here > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.alsamixer . Make sure you download this first before the actuall call recording app! After you download this open it and it will ask you to install Alsa. Make sure you install this, if not it won't record from your line! Than download this > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder. This is the actuall call recording app! Open it and under preferences make sure you set your device to Samsung Galaxy S3 (MSM8960) ! Than go under preferences>Advanced and make sure you change incoming calls from disabled to 0.0 or whatever you prefer. Last thing under preferences>experimental features make sure it says Alsa is installed then below that check on App Admin! After all this you will have probably the best call recording app that I have came across! Hope I helped!

I've modified the SecPhone.apk and now it has the record button, however, it responsed nothing when I clicked it...
Does it need any extra libs or apks to support call recording?
I'm attempting to change the folder for the recordings to be saved to my extSdCard, but I'm having an issue entering the name, as the number of characters I can enter are limited. And when I do enter a name with less characters, the recordings are not there in the folder.
Can the folder only be located in the internal memory, or is it just user error?
Wouldn't be the first time or the last

All the supporting framework has been removed by Samsung. Skvalex Call Recorder works fine for US S3.

So now the question turns to how to invoke the Skvalex Call Recorder when I pressed that button. Thanks a lot!

Skvalex already has a button for that. Looks pretty much same as the old ICS button. And I believe it is movable.
call recording
I haven't tried it out. But it seems to be baked into the Axix19 Rom, by Hero. Whenever I'm in a call, there's a "record" button available. BTW - the ROM is by far the best, most stable TW Rom I've tried yet that has multi-window (CleanRom gets my overall stability vote though).
Scratch that. Just tried it. It doesn't seem to work. Strange though. Button is there - clear as day.

I honestly use Call Recorder by Skvalex. It works great on AOSP and Touch-Wiz ROMs. It records from the actual line on both incoming and outgoing calls with great quality! Way better than from the microphone! You first have to install AlsaMixer also make by SK Alex. Link here > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.alsamixer . Make sure you download this first before the actuall call recording app! After you download this open it and it will ask you to install Alsa. Make sure you install this, if not it won't record from your line! Than download this > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder. This is the actuall call recording app! Open it and under preferences make sure you set your device to Samsung Galaxy S3 (MSM8960) ! Than go under preferences>Advanced and make sure you change incoming calls from disabled to 0.0 or whatever you prefer. Last thing under preferences>experimental features make sure it says Alsa is installed then below that check on App Admin! After all this you will have probably the best call recording app that I have came across! Hope I helped!

Thank you for the instructions! Now I have it working on CM10.1 Android 4.2.2

[Q] Disable Ticker Animation (Notification Privacy)

I am talking about Paranoid Android's very useful tweak. The "Do Not Disturb" option in settings menu where it completely disables the ticker animation whenever there's a notification.
This is a great tweak for me because whenever a friend borrows my phone to browse the web or to send an sms, he/she sees the COMPLETE incoming text thru the ticker animation. This is really an annoying accidental invasion of my privacy.
"So why don't you just use paranoid android rom?"
Well, because that mod is the only reason i was able to stick to that rom for almost 2 weeks.
I am more than willing to create a custom rom that suits my exact preferences but i lack the time and skills to do it.
Okay so i've searched EVERYWHERE (trust me) but i can't find an individual mod that does exactly this.
Thanks for reading and I am very grateful if anyone answers. :good:

Does it only affect SMS/MMS? If so, the mod can probably be cleanly packaged into a modded mms.apk and the setting option/toggle moved from PA settings to mms settings. Can't say, never used it, but someone with time on their hand can probably track it in the PA git.

It affects all ticker animations that pop up on the status bar whenever there's a notification.
For example, when i turn the feature on and i use titanium backup to do a batch restore, the icon is still there but there will be no ticker animation.
It's quite redundant if you ask me.
7 months passed.... still looking. lol

Still not possible thru stock SMS. I use Textra SMS and it's got the option to hide the ticker animation

Still no luck? I am searching everywhere, like you, but I can't find a mod for this. It is found in Cataclysm rom, but I can't understand why this is not asked for more. Every rom should have a preference to disable all notification tickers.

I learned to accept the fact that noone will make a stand-alone mod (or even an app) for this specific feature.
I am in exactly the same boat.. I don't know how many hours I've spent looking around and found nothing.
I need to specifically for WhatsApp; no such luck.
Did you guys find anything?

No luck here. Almost 2 years looking around.
If I had a better idea how ROMs work.. I would've had a look at the one you mentioned in your OP and maybe create an XPOSED mod..

See the changelog for SlimKat Weekly 8.9. Is this what you actually want?

Yes. I have also seen those settings on mahdi last week
So nobody has helped you yet? Strange.
Decompile SystemUI with ApkTool (Import the framework, decompile)
Open res/values/bools
Modify the string <bool name="enable_ticker">true</bool> TO <bool name="enable_ticker">false</bool>
Recompile the app with apktool using the command: apktool b -c SystemUI.apk.
DONE

Thanks! But custom ROMs nowadays already has this as a mandatory feature.
And I already switched to another device.

Hi guys,
A question to you:
- I have installed customised Rom and I believe I missed the HTC Sounds
or the developer removed it as a part of "weight loss diet".
Unfortunately, now I cannot choose reminder sound because this function
does not exist. Every time reminded pop's up I have the default short
ringer sound which is misleading because it sounds like someone will be
calling me.
Is there a package that I can install now to have the sounds ?
I would prefer to avoid reinstalling system/Rom again if possible...
and as mentioned - it might not be included. I have installed customised
Rom and I believe I missed the HTC Sounds or the developer removed
it as a part of "weight loss diet".
Unfrotunately, now I cannot choose reminder sound because this function does not exist.

Hi,
Unzip your last ROM (the one with the sounds) and go to system/media/audio.
Take the sounds you want and push them into the same folder on your current ROM.
