Looking over in the HERO forum someone has found out away to modify the phone.apk to include a roam only option. Wondering if this was possible for the evo as well. I tried using the apktool but the files do not match.
Heres the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745092
I'm sure it's possible. If I remember correctly when I was using CyanogenMod Nightlies, there was an option for this (it wasn't call roam only but im sure thats what it did).
Yeah this is where all of this started.... Now someone has ported it to the hero and I would really like to see if this is possible for the hero.
Why would you want to force Roam only?

I know I would. I used to do it on my Pre while I was at work.. I work in radio and in the lower level of our building in production studios all day and my signal is very weak. Forcing the phone into roam helped me have better battery life, and a more stable phone if I got a call or something.
Roam only on the Evo would be very nice!

This is the same reason why I need it..... I used it on my pre all the time as well when at work and in other areas where coverage was very spotty
I have the phone.apk (from Fresh 3.1.01) decompiled and I have made the noted changes from the original Hero thread and I'm ready to test, but I'm having fits on compileing the apk to sign and test. Can someone else try, the modifications are simple to edit.

I am not running Fresh.... Wish I knew a little more about programing. I tried the apktool mentioned in the post but the rom I use has a different dialer setup than fresh's. I wonder if he would be willing to help.
I would love to have this option in a widget, shortcut, or some other method that makes it easy to toggle on and off. There were registry edits on my old HTC WinMo phones to enable this.
I have very good Sprint coverage most of the time but every once in a while I'm somewhere Verizon has better coverage. I've seen my phone hold onto Sprint with one or even no bars, and only switch to Verizon every once in a while and get full bars. This kills the battery and of course service.
Could someone post the original stock 2.2 phone.apk (unthemed). I think that the themeing on the dialer is what is causing my issues with rebuilding the .apk. This could cause issues with the htc framework used, just my .02. We should be able to port this over.
I modded the apk for Fresh 3.1.0.1, try it out and let me know if it works:

Unfortunately I keep getting FC's after moving this one over the old one. Rebooted the phone and still no luck. I feel like something is different with the framework or something. Could theme changes (Rosie) in this ROM be the issue? What did you do to rebuild the apk. I worked a few hrs after I moded it from your instructions trying to rebuild using APKmanger. I greatly appreciate your efforts. Trial and error, we'll get there with the EVO!!! Thanks!
I would love this app also

U dont get charged for roaming it just comes out of your anytime minutes if you do not have an unlimited plan. If u have unlimited then it costs nothing
Any one have any progress to report on this
One thing that may work: load CM6, set it to affiliated networks, then restore back to your previous ROM.
It may not work, but I know on my N1, if I would set it to WCDMA only to prevent the 3G dropping to EDGE, then that would stay sticky over flashes & wipes etc.
The settings are stored in the radio, so I think setting it to roam only should stick.

Sprint doesn't charge for domestic voice or data roaming. They reserve the right to cancel your account if you roam for more than half your minutes or a specific amount of data (I can't remember how much), so it's not the kind of thing you'd leave on all the time. But there are situations where it would be beneficial to force roaming for a short period of time.
i'd def be interested in this. im using fresh.

Make a copy of the backed up unmodded one somewhere where you can easily go move it back. Then make a nandroid backup just in case .
Here's how I've done it. Probably a better way, but it's worked for me. Make sure the modded apk is renamed to exactly what the existing one is "SystemUI.apk". Using Root Explorer, move the modded apk anywhere NOT on the SD Card - like the root internal memory, for example. In Root Explorer, keep moving up a level until you see the system, sdcard, etc. folders: then move it here, but not in a particular folder yet (this will allow you to change the permissions). Change the permissions to rw-r-r (check the first two boxes on the first line, and the first box on the next two lines). Make sure it says "permissions changed successfully". Move the apk to system/app, override the prompt to replace the existing one. Your status bar will disappear. Turn off the device, then back on. You should see your changes.
Works great. But only one problem. My statusbar dissapered for ever. Y reatarted and its still gone. I only modded the pics.

[Q]Changing Signal Icons?
Sorry to bring this thread back to life, but I didn't know where else to put it and didn't want to start a new thread.
I was wondering if someone could make a flashable (CWM) .zip where GPRS shows G, EDGE shows E, UMTS shows 3G, HSDPA shows 3G+, and HSPA+ shows 4G? I know you can see the network you're connected to under About Phone/Network, but I'm tired of AT&T's 4G gimmick and would rather see what network I'm actually connected too.
I tried searching around, even got into the APK Manager thread and everything to try to mod the icons myself but was pretty unsuccessful since editing XML's got pretty complicated. So, as much as I didn't want to, it's time to admit how noob I am.
I have the icon images I'd like to use already, so if anyone could help me out that'd be great.

Attached should be what you're looking for. It comes from Virtuous Unity's SystemUI.apk, so might only work with Sense 3.0 ROMs? Or maybe only Virtuous Unity? Maybe someone else will be able to better specify. Either way, I still recommend you do a backup before installing. But it has E for EDGE, 3G for UMTS, 3G+ for HSDPA, and 4G for HSPA+. I've attached just the SystemUI.apk (has 5 bar signal strength mod as well, let me know if you want 4 bar) as well as a flashable Clockwork .zip that has Digital % battery and 5 bar signal strength mods (If you don't want the Digital% mod just delete the "framework" folder from the .zip and then flash). All I did was replace the pictures, the UOT kitchen did the rest of the mods.

Awesome thanks. I'm actually already running VU (pretty unfortunate that they had to put the project on hold with everything thats going on with them), so even better =]
(to Simba) Correct me if I'm wrong, (I haven't actually tried this so I can't say for sure) but I wanted to keep the regular 3G (for UMTS) and 4G icons I have set up right now. I thought replacing the 3G icon with 3G+ would change the icons both for UMTS and HSDPA to 3G+, which isn't what I'm aiming for either.
[EDIT] The attachment didn't work. HSDPA is still showing 3G. I haven't checked UMTS yet, but I'm going to assume that it's showing 3G too. But yes, the icon pack I wanted to use is in the VU 1.29 SystemUI.apk, I just can't figure out how to make HSDPA show 3G+.
I noticed that the devs posted WIFI Tethering on their roms but is there a mod that allows us to do it to the stock rom? I dont want to install other roms since they made too much major modifications to the theme. The only one I dislike in their theme is the percentage battery icon.

u MUST root to get that option.
it wont change the stock feel of the phone, but you need to be able to get into the system/apps and either delete Tethering manager or use TiBu to Freeze it. then you will be able to tether.

From what I've read on here, AT&T can still look at the packets and might notice. But in other threads, people have noted that they tether occasionally, and don't get caught, and others said they did it once and got warned, and still others saif they did it all the time and never got caught. But, the more you do it, the more likely you'll get caught. And if you are on Unlimited Data, you have more to lose (since they'll take that away from you and add a tethering plan). That being said, you should get a warning first.
Tethering seems to be enabled by default on the Canadian "Skyrocket".

They are looking for reasonz to take the unlimited thing away. So yes ur more susceptible to at&t looking into ur packets. I'm on a 2g plan and tether ALL THE TIME. but I don't stream. I just download. Its ur call.....but yes that's all u need to freeze.

It looks like the FP1 radios might finally get rid of the squeal/click that some people are experiencing on their phones. That's a bonus, if nothing else, especially since it can most likely be ripped from stock and flashed separately.

Actually, if history is any indication, we'll have wait for a leak of the full firmware. The LTE radios can be extracted from the device, but the CDMA radios can't be dumped, and the update files from Verizon usually only contain the diffs/deltas. We ran into that with EP4D...it was a couple of weeks after the OTA before we had a flashable radio that didn't require you to be at stock EE4.
The only path on the radios at first is probably going to be flashing full stock, taking the OTA, then flashing an EP4 rom on top of them.
Can't wait for the fix for the cracking and popping issue.
It doesn't always happen, but when it does, my ears bleed.

Well - there was a workaround for such things if interested in only modem updating - assuming the same can be done here you'll just have to be on the EP4P radios for this one. That ought to save a little hassle anyway.

As a side note, this may improve the GPS even more.
It's likely a modem+kernel update to fix the radio related issues. Given the reported size and the changelog, I'm wondering if they did completely retheme the system, as I don't see any reason for it to be 85MB for anything else.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU MESS UP YOUR PHONE!
While looking over some aosp code for the settings apk, I stumbled upon a much easier loophole that completely bypasses Verizon's and maybe other carrier's Tethering Entitlement Check app. By setting the net.tethering.noprovisioning property to true, Verizon and other carrier's entitlement check app won't even run, the native tethering will start now as soon as you turn it on. This has been tested on and works on my XT1060 but depending on how other carrier's run their entitlement check app, it could work on other phone models also. So if you test it and it works on the other carrier Moto X's or other phone models let me know!
So for Rom Developers all you have to do is add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to your build.prop file and then you can remove the entitlement check app if you want to. Also if your phone model has any property that has dun_required like ro.mot.tether_dun_required then you will need to change that line from 1 to 0.
For people who don't want to mess with modifying their build.prop file or use xposed. I made an app which requires Root, that will run a setprop command to bypass the check until you reboot. If you want it to last after a reboot you can select apply of boot to run the command after every reboot. This was tested and confirmed by cvhovey thanks to him for testing it for me, since I have free tethering. This is my first app so I hope you Enjoy it! I want to say thanks to jcase's slapmymoto and the developer of adaway, I used their github sources as references when I couldn't get something working. Also androidicons for the icon template, and Poliva for setpropex, and jduck for getting setpropex working on KitKat.

-v1.2 Update (7/4/2014)
-It can now bypass the read only property's like ro.mot.tether_dun_required and set it to 0 via setpropex for the models like Sprint, and RPW, Thanks to Poliva for setpropex, and jduck for getting it working on KitKat
-Cleaned up the code a lot it was extremely sloppy, still needs some work
-Also I ended up having to create another key to sign the app, thanks to the android L sdk update that screwed up my dev environment, and I ended up accidentally deleting my keystore
-v1.1 Update (5/8/2014)
-For v1.1 I added checks to grab the phones model number and then apply certain commands specific to those models

for this to work on sprint, you would also need to change ro.mot.tether_dun_required=1 to ro.mot.tether_dun_required=0 in build prop

The easiest way, that works on every carrier that I know of, is to just edit framework-res.apk and remove the provisioning app from the XML so that it defaults to native tethering setup.

How is that easier than my way? By adding net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to the build.prop file it launches the native tethering instantly by bypassing the framework-res all together. At least for Verizon for which I made this for, I said it could possibly work on other carriers I never said it would. I made the app for people who don't want to modify their system at all, by either adding that line to the build.prop file or decompiling, editing, recompiling, and replacing the framework-res.apk. To me that seems to be a whole lot easier, a high percentage of users on this forum don't know how to properly replace a system apk much less edit it properly. So I was trying to help them out by simplifying it for them.

How is that easier than my way? By adding net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to the build.prop file it launches the native tethering instantly by bypassing the framework-res all together. At least for Verizon for which I made this for, I said it could possibly work on other carriers I never said it would. I made the app for people who don't want to modify their system at all, by either adding that line to the build.prop file or decompiling, editing, recompiling, and replacing the framework-res.apk. To me that seems to be a whole lot easier, a high percentage of users on this forum don't know how to properly replace a system apk much less edit it properly.

I think the app is fantastic ... I have modded my own farmework.res.apk which works and also modded my own VzwEntitlementService.odex which works as well ... The bottom line is I'm using your app because it's simple and works perfectly without any system mods. :good:

The method I suggested works on all carriers, not just VZW. Another user posted that you need something else for Sprint for this to work. Sure, your's is quite simple, but it isn't universal.

I never said it was universal, I said it possibly could be I have no way of testing other carriers. That's why I said for other carrier users to try it if it works great let me know, if it doesn't oh well it was a shot.
If you don't think it's universal or don't think it's the easiest way for VZW Moto X owners. Then that's your opinion not mine, but this thread isn't the place to debate it out. Now if you don't mind can we drop it and get back on topic please?
Thank you to the developer, works on droid Maxx!

Sorry for not replying before now, I've been focusing on my rom thread and my new job and haven't had time to check this thread. I'm glad it worked thanks for the feedback!

Your welcome, I'm glad it helped you out.
I added v1.1 to the OP that runs certain setprop commands depending on your phone model. Let me know if it works for everybody or doesn't!
Works great on unlocked, stock rooted DE edition Moto X.
