Devs: Here is how to bypass native tethering entitlement check. Works on VZW or ATT - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi devs!
Back in the NOTE days I found out that in order to get the native built-in Android WIFI hotspot working WITHOUT the need to pay extra for it, all you need to do is change one line of code in the framework-res.apk.
So I'm calling on all of you to hopefully adopt this for all of your excellent custom ROMs and thereby make the extra tether apps obsolete...
In framework-res decompiled directory tree go to res/values/arrays.xml and change:
Code:
<string-array name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app">
<item>com.samsung.spg</item>
<item>com.samsung.spg.NewSPGActivity</item>
</string-array>
to
Code:
<array name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app" />
This completely bypasses any wifi hotspot entitlement checks and lets you activate the built-in AP with no error message!

Nice. Can you upload a completed hotspot apk file?

Have you actually tested this on this phone?

I thought of giving it a try. But I don't see the "values" in the ./res/values/arrays.xml tree.
---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 AM ----------
nor there is a "arrays.xml" in the apk.
And I'm currently running the [Rom][7.26.2012][VRALF2/VRALG1]NoSympathy's Stock OTA 100% deodexed, zipaligned rom.

hmm this would be nice as hotspot is basically the main apk i cant delete.. and we had it hacked on the droid x also but i dont think it was this easy we had to mod something in the nv to get it for free.. if it is this easy though hmm...

I honestly didn't think it was that easy on Verizon. OP is talking about the Note, which never came out on verizon. I have a feeling on this phone, the built in tether app isn't much different than the other LTE phones I have used, you have to rewrite parts of the framework and parts of the hotspot apk to make it not do a security check.

Just use hot spot widget it already bypasses the check and activates the hotspot I haven't yet tethered to it but it does activate.

I'm using tethering widgets as well. And it works perfectly.

Definitely hear ya op.. I use wifi tether no problem, but to have one app instead of two always nice. Real question remains if code works with Verizon. Did you test it on the phone or just the code from Note?

I'm using Wi-Fi tether 3 from the market, hack the device under options and its perfect. Very simple, been my favorite.

This is the same method we use on the Galaxy Nexus in AOSP source as well. Here is a modified framework-res.apk that you provided me with the provisioning removed. I do not have an SGS3 to test it with but it should work just fine.

AWESOME!!! I knew we could count on you for help!!
Guys, In the past I have asked nitroglycerin33 to help with apk and dev related work so I went to him to see if he could decompile this badboy and allow tethering. AND HE CAME THROUGH!!! I would highly suggest a big thanks or donation for nitroglycerin33. He didn't have to do this.
Just an additional note. The framework-res.apk I gave him was for the VRLG1 release which is the latest OTA release. Not sure what this will do if you have the original release.
THANKS NITRO!!!!

What file did you edit ? I don't even see a "values" folder nor a arrays.xml file in the framework-res apk.

it is there if you decompile the APK

So now I can go into the settings and activate the mobile hotspot without it charging me correct?
I can confirm the apk posted does indeed activate it but I just wanted to make sure I dont get charged

[MOD][VRALG1] Enable Stock Mobile Hotspot (Tethering)

I want to say that I did not create this file. I just helped facilitate a speedy delivery of this file because I reached out to a dev friend so he could help us.
This single .apk file is intended for folks that are stock/rooted and want to get by with as many tweaks as possible without flashing a ROM or Theme. I know their are plenty of peeps out there that are just fine with being rooted only... hopefully this will add to your enjoyment of a nearly bone stock rom.
**Before you do anything make a backup of your framework-res.apk file which is located in system/framework**
**If you are on a themed rom, using this framework-res.apk will remove most of your theme and place you back to stock look**
**Rom devs and themers will need to take this framework-res.apk and add it to their themes and roms** (or decompile and create their own)
Credits:
Nitroglycerin33 for compiling and editing framework-res.apk
Electron73 for delivering the knowledge to our forum
Confirmed working on Stock OTA VRLG1
How to install:
Option A:
-Download the framework-res.apk to your C:\ drive or whatever folder you like on your PC.
-Mount your system folder on your phone as read/write
-Then push it via adb to your phone. Reboot. Profit
Option B:
If you don't feel comfortable using adb commands you can use root explorer and copy the framework-res.apk over to system\framework\ which will overwrite the existing framework file. This will cause your phone to freeze up immediately. Give it 2 minutes then simultaneously press the volume up + volume down + the power button until it goes into safemode. Once in safemode your phone will start responding. You can then reboot at this point which will automatically boot you out of safe mode. If you can't seem to get it into safe mode just yank the battery. I tested it this way to see if it works and it does. No harm done to the phone. I would make a back up of your framework-res.apk before doing this.

Should be noted that this will effect the themes of certain roms as this is a stock framework-res.apks and not a themed one.

You would have to replace the framework-res.apk again. Only thing that will change that is if devs start baking them in. I for one plan to on any updates and or releases change that to allow this.

for the record I am using your stock rom and loving it. Feel free to use this apk if you need to. Not sure what would be easier, applying your themes to this apk or taking your existing themed apk and editing decompiled xml's. My guess is the latter if you know how to decompile and you can use notepad++. What apk tool do you use? Can you link me?

I already had done this mod before your guy posted one, I just had gone out to wash my car while I had time and he got it up before me. Either way it is a rather easy mod.
If I can even find the link to the apks tool I am using again I sure will. It has two apktool.jar files. One is 1.4.2 for decompiling and one is 1.4.3 for recompiling.

heres what i did. download the file. go to root browser and paste it to framework overwrite > yes
Good to have this mod published. Loving being able to use the native app despite VZW's attempt to thwart.
So, I tried pushing via adb but kept getting Read-only file system. So, tried adb remount and got Operation not permitted.
Anyway, I ended up using Root Explorer. Then, instead of pulling battery I tried a key combo: hold down Power and Volume +- at the same time for a few seconds and got in to Safe Mode; then just rebooted. That was cool cause I didn't want to have to pull the battery.
Thanks for posting guys.
Do I have to be on a rom to use this or can I just be stocked rooted?
Can you please post the changes needed in the framework apk, so anyone ca make the changes?
Works perfect via root explorer. Thanks!
Awesome, thank you Das7982, Nitroglycerin33 and Electron73. tested and confirmed working :good:

Hey guys! Here i made for you a C# program for ease of use in decompiling recompiling apks.
It has the option to sign the recently compiled apk or if option is unchecked, it will ask for you to select a new file to sigh, either zip or apk files can be signed!
Its pretty straight forward to use everything is at your finger tips!
To install, just extract the zip double click the installer and you'll be good to go!
Any feature requests/issues just let me know in this thread.

[HOW TO] Change 4G to 4G LTE in Status Bar [HOW TO]

Found a simple way to change ur "4G" icon to show "4G LTE" instead. All you have to do is edit ur build.prop file which is located in ur system folder. I believe that these icons are already included in the majority of I9505 roms(non AOSP, non GE) that are out there, so you don't have to add these icons to ur device, or do anything else. Just follow the directions in the 3 outlined steps.
1. Please be sure to make a backup of ur original build.prop file, just in case any complications occur, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
2. In ur build.prop file, just edit the ro.product.name line to...
ro.product.name=jfltetmo

Just go to "system" folder located in root(root is like the equivalent to "c:\" in Windows OS), scroll down a little bit to build.prop file, long press it, open with text editor, edit ro.product.name line like in the OP, exit it, it will ask you if you want to save it, etc., this is all basic stuff man.

Moving on to Eclipse's rom so I'll be doing a lot less messing around. If you need something converted to your carrier let me know.
question. i previously installed native tethering by replacing the VzwEntitlementService.apk in /priv-apps. everything works ok, but everytime i turn on tethering, there still is a check for tethering subscription which is only for 'esthetic' reasons (still by-passes the check).
will your method remove the subscription check when tethering is turned on?
also, if i install your method, do i need to reenable the original .apk and .odex files for yours to compile over them?
thanks-
Thank you!
Awesome work! Stepped in here for the native tethering zip and it seems to work flawlessly! Got wifi hotspot running without a hitch.

This method totally bypasses the check. It doesn't matter if you have the stock app or any third party app. I tested with Vzw app and with Wifi tether for root access and I got no errors. The only necessary change is made in framework-res.apk.

ART seems to cause issues with SystemUI mods. If you don't mind can you send me all SystemUI.* files in /system/priv-app (I don't know if ART creates .odex files). I'd like to take a look at them.

Nice find. I noticed those settings also, but I didn't pursue it because I didn't think it would be that easy.

Could you please post the theme? I've been trying to do it myself but it's suicide.... been here for 4h.... still not working.
Is it possible to flash it with a vrtheme zip? I doesn't seem to be but your surely more experienced than me with this stuff.
Thanks

Will this be a full theme with settings and status bar/drop down menu etc?
I ask cos i really like the S5 UI and the theme i have now is made up of a few mods icons from S5. .
So kinda hoping it will be a full system theme
Great work!!

Got mine working now. A lot is themed but not everything is working yet. I also have a hard time to make a working vrtheme. Until now i've been recompiling all apks but that's just lame and stupid.
If it finally works to 99% and I've made it flashable (without modded apks) ill post it.
I hope though that it won't even be necessary, maybe he's faster .
Ive been working on this also almost got a vr-theme zip working just need to figure out how to get it to write the smali files

Yeah that's my exact problem ;/
That's why I have to recompile them....
If you do find a solution please share not just the file, but also what you made to get the smali patched. That would be awesome of you .
