[GUIDE] Enable Download Booster On Verizon - DETAIL INSTRUCTIONS

I basically took the instructions from XDA member "chronicaust" and made them simple with 1 single download link for the service files, and links to all apps needed. People were having trouble understanding the process in the original thread. So I hope this simplifies it and makes it clear for any new people. All I did was reorganize this process and hopefully make it easier for most people. The original instructions were confusing for me... I don't take credit for developing this at all!

Thank YOU!! I couldn't figure out with the other thread, this was simple and easy to follow, just a suggestion, when you mention root system folder, it would probably make it less confusing for others if you mention that it's not the actual folder called "root" under system.

Well not sure what I did wrong. Copied over the the two files into the framework folder. The phone froze and rebooted as expected. It then said optimizing about 400 apps. After that finished it just kept saying "Unfortunately, Verizon Login has stopped.", "NFC Service", "com.android.phone", "Google search", "Pica something..." and several others in an endless loop. :/
EDIT: Downloading the stock Verizon tar... What a pitty. I cannot access anything.

Yeah I changed the permissions for both. (Granted I ended up removing permissions?) The only thing I did that might be different from what you said is copy both files with the permissions already changed at the same time then it froze.

I'm not sure why so many people are obsessed with enabling this feature. People like me who don't have unlimited data don't care to piss it away with "boosting" my download speeds. Plus, I don't really download anything worth needing it anyways but all the power to the rest of you

I followed the steps and after it updated apps. My Wifi Tether notification icon has changed. It shows the USB one instead of the usual radio signal icon. and when I click on the notification, it takes me to the USB and Bluetooth tether screen. Whereas before, it took me right to the WIFI Tether screen.
When I backed up the files to change them back, I realized that I backed up the wrong files.
Stupid me.
Does anyone have the stock JAR and ODEX files? I'd rather have the convenience of tether than download booster.
Thanks in advance.

Omg! Thank you so much. I think I should back up my phone first before I do anything else.
Also one more question, is there a setting.odex in the framework folder? I think that's what I copied.

I followed all the way up to replacing services.jar and when I do replace it, it says unfortunately (a bunch of apps) has stopped. It causes me to have to do a battery pull, and when I do power it back on, it gets stuck on the Verizon logo screen. I've tried it a few times with both root explorer, efs file explorer, and both files at the same time/services.jar first. Every time I try, I have to restore my rom using safestrap. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Edit: I tried flashing the zip in the main thread and it's working so far without any hiccups.

@waleed300
Can you put a disclaimer on the OP that states that enabling this (if you have native hotspot enabled) will mess with your WiFi Hotspot toggle since it replaces the services.jar? Hotspot still works, but the running notification is incorrect. Just a thought....

If you want to fix it, you have to replace your services.jar with the stock one (this is how I fixed it with the help of Versatile1). And I had a question, when your mobile hotspot running notification was the correct one, clicking the running notification took you to the hotspot options but did long pressing the quicksetting still take you to the USB tether options? Was just wondering.

Download Booster not using LTE?
So I've had Download Booster enabled for a little while after following this post. I've noticed a couple of things:
1. When downloading large files, DB doesn't always appear and when it does appear, LTE is never used.
2. During the download, DB disappears.
I wasn't sure what the reason was for the odd behavior but was curious to see if anybody else has noticed it.

I would make a donation for a 1-click apk solution like towelroot.

If the system ui is deleted it should boot black background but it should boot... in anycase you made a nandroid backup before editing system files right?

That's surely the right way!
If you change directly SystemUi.apk with a root explorer, your device becomes instantly unusable, you can't even change permissions.
At least, it's my experience with other devices.

Yup. Usually modifying critical files on the /system partition is best in the twrp recovery file manager to avoid crashes and malfunctions and all that other craZy stuff.

Solution for setup wizard keeps stopping

For guys who are unable to proceed after the language selection when a new rom is flashed, Here is the solution. There is no use of going to settings<selecting Apps < searching for setup wizard app < Force stopping and giving permissions again. After lot of attempts successfully got a solution. but dont know how it might effect the daily usage.
Steps:
1. Reboot to TWRP
2. Click on "Mount"
3. Select "Data"(check mark the data option)
4.Click on Mount the selected storage (don't remember the option exactly)
5. Now go back and click on Advanced
6.Select file manager
7. Scroll down and search for System folder
8. Again scroll and search for priv-app folder
9. Now Search for Setup wizard folder.
10. After entering into the folder, u can see setup wizard apk. Simply delete that by pressing the icon at the bottom right corner and choosing on delete option.
11. You can see a promt asking to delete. Simply swipe it.
12. After go back, Make a Factory reset and reboot the device.
The only bad thing is, it doesnt ask for language selection or wifi or google account setup. It directly goes to the launcher.Not sure how this is going to effect the daily usage.
One thing I found is unable to expand notification drawer.Im new to 7.1(Resurrection remix). may be need to explore new options.
Note: if you got process force close error, click on wait and select the launcher.Thats it.
if this thread helped, dont forget to hit thanks.
P.S: Sorry for my simple and bad english
Edit 2: (The perfectly working one)
After selecting language, then long press the power button, go to settings and connect to wifi and then proceed to login to google. This doesnt make setup wizard close.
credits goes to @Di5cip1e .

The problem is also solved by updating to latest GAPPs. The ROM you were trying to set up was updated to 7.1.2 and the GAPPs you were using were old.

Nice thanks

Rules setting

For those (rooted) who wants google rules settings here is how to enable it *choose one of these three method* :
1st method ;
run this Terminal
1. su
2. pm enable com.google.android.settings.intelligence/.modules.routines.impl.settings.RoutinesSettingsActivity
(delete the space in "Activity" in the end of this terminal .. I don't have it in edit mode. no idea lol)
3. Go to settings>apps and notifications . And force stop (settings- settings suggestions)
-------------------
2nd method ;
1-Using a file explorer app that supports root navigation, such as Solid Explorer, go to the /data/data/com.google.android.settings.intelligence/shared_prefs folder.
2-Open the SettingsGoogleIntelligenceSharedPrefFile.xml file and change all flags values containing RoutinesPrototype in their name to true (except for the debug one). Before backing out of the file, save it.
3-From the Apps and Notifications menu, force-stop both the Settings and Settings Suggestion apps.
Open Settings and perform a search by typing "rules" (without the quotation marks).
---------------------
3rd method ;
just copy the attached file to this location :
/data/data/com.google.android.settings.intelligence/shared_prefs
*Go to settings>apps and notifications . And force stop (settings- settings suggestions)
Congratulations, u will find it in : settings>system. :highfive:

Thanks I ran the command (you do have a space near the end that needs to be removed) but I don't see a Rules section under settings-->system. Tried a reboot too
Something else need to be done?

Multiple questions

Hi there !
I've got some questions.
First, it's logic, but I'm on Poco X3 NFC (Surya).
Question 1
I've tried two "big" ROMs : ArrowOS and EvolutionX but what is the "best" between this two? I talk about battery life.
Question 2
Font Manager, this is an amazing module, BUT, in every font, there is neither "bold" or "italic" ... Is there any solutions? Or any other way to change the font of android?
Question 3
Is there anything to take a look for battery statistic for a week?
Thanks!
The Newbie - Nacalto

1.I have tried evolution X is a good rom but Arrow OS is less buggy.
Evolution X keeps draining my battery and also heats my phone when charging.
Ex: Evolution X transform my phone in a microwave (so the best is ArrowOS).
2-YES i have a solutions:
Install an app named "iFont"
Before using the app, make sure you enable Unknown source installations on your phone. To do that, follow the path Settings > Security > App Installation > Unknown source installations, then choose iFont > Allow to enable it.
Open the app and click on the tab named "Find".
Select the font that you like. Then select "Download".
You’ll see a pop-up message on your phone when the download’s complete. Select "Set".
When using iFont for the first time, the app will prompt you to go through the instructions before changing the font on your smartphone. You can choose to read or skip it.
Some smartphones will change the font straight away. If that didn’t happen, follow the path Settings > Display > Font to manually switch to the font you just downloaded.
3- Try installing this:
Download and install AccuBattery on your Android phone.
Run the apps and finish the quick walkthrough.
Select Health from the bottom menu bar.
The Battery health information will be displayed (Battery capacity, Battery wear, and so on).
I hope that i have helped you !
