[MOD] [AT&T] LGMessage w/o screen-on notification

** Disclaimer: Use at your own risk. I am not responsible or liable for whatever happens. I made this small customization for myself and am just sharing it in the event others might benefit. I could very well have done this wrong, but at least it is working for me... **
If you're anything like me, you really like the stock LGMessage.apk with the pop-over notification. You know you can get similar functionality in a variety of third-party SMS programs, but you like that oh-so-stock feeling...
But, oh no! The stock messaging app has this annoying habit of turning the screen on every single time you get a message.
When you're like me, sending over 200-300 texts a day, this will just not do.
Enter, the attached deodexed, ever-so-slightly customized LGMessage.apk -- with screen-on notification removed, and everything else the same.
Installation Instructions:
* Back-up LGMessage.apk and LGMessage.odex from /system/app
* Move existing LGMessage.apk and LGMessage.odex to some other location outside of /system/app (I put mine in my dropbox)
* Copy over this newly modified LGMessage.apk
* Reboot
* Profit
Link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/68362468/LGMessage.apk
This file was relatively manually deodexed, edited, recompiled and signed with assistance from the following:
Smali / Baksmali (for decompile/compile)
Android SDK / Eclipse (for pulling/pushing/code-diving)
Notepad++ (for search in files)
Beer (for motivation)
Aleksandar Despotovski's Android Ultimate Toolbox Pro (for signing)

Im on vzw and havent noticed my screen turning on for every text. What are you on?

Oops, AT&T, I keep forgetting this is a combined forum section. :/

I would need the following files:
/system/app/LGMessage.apk
/system/app/LGMessage.odex
/system/framework/lge-res.apk
Note: None of these files contain any personal user information, as they are the stand-alone application/related resources.
If your phone is already rooted/deodexed, then *just* the LGMessage.apk should be enough.
It is entirely possible that the APK and/or resource file is not named the same on that phone, in which case other variations I have seen in the past are: SecMms.apk, Mms.apk, and Message.apk

Just give me approximately 15-30 minutes to upload them. BTW, in the OG Pro it is UniMessagebin.
Thanks again for trying and hope you succeed!

Oops, lack of sleep got the best of me. I'll remedy that here shortly...

Shakes- so here's the deal, the UniMessagebin is quite a bit different than the LG G2 implementation.
I was able to track down what I think are the two tweaks necessary to disable screen-on notification, but I have no good way of testing this so it is a real shot in the dark.
Please, please realize this and do due diligence and back-up your files just in case.
Installation Instructions:
* Backup UniMessagebin.apk and UniMessagebin.odex from /system/app
* Move existing UniMessagebin.apk and UniMessagebin.odex to some other location outside of /system/app (I put mine in my dropbox)
* Copy over the newly modified UniMessagebin.apk
* Reboot
* Hopefully it works...

I think it works! I just have a question. Why does the LG OG Pro's messaging app turn my SMS into MMS when I include emojicons? It will make that MMS beep as soon as I put an emoji.
Thank you!

In nearly every case, emoji's are just pictures sent as an MMS when used on Android phones instead of a special softbank short code for said image.

I had to download a modified UniMessagebin from I think a LGOG because that one does not turn it to MMS. However it does not support XXHDPI resolution so the fonts are not as small as they are supposed to be. Is there a way to disable auto MMS conversion when including emojis?

Not that I'm aware of, but I don't know much about MMS/emoji technology.
I was under the impression that emoji's were specialized character encodings and that the reason most Android systems turn them into MMS is for more universal usage without the worries of character encoding compatibility.
Sorry I can't help more :/

I just wanted to drop in and say how much I missed this mod when I had to flash back to stock. This is a great mod. will be installing again today.
Is there anyway to make this a flashable .zip?
Great work Dev. Also what tools did you use to de-odex the files?

[Q] Is there any man remove ''checking subscription status'' when open mobile hotspot

like my old android 4.1.2 I want to open mobile hotspot without checking subscription status in my new android 4.3 galaxy s3 verizon
where are developers that will modify framework.jar file to enable this again in this new android verizon?
please help

If beans ever gets his 4.3 rom out it will probably be how you want. I know I'm waiting to install safestrap until he releases it. Until then I'm sure you could find a guide on how to do it.

You mean that i wait some months also until this problem solved

I mean opposite, it probably isn't that hard and you can have it now if you do it yourself. Or ask for clues on how to do it instead of expecting someone else to do it for you.

I googled that problem for a week and no answer resolve it.
If you have the way to do that, then thank you very match

Friday night I found out how to manually do it but java was being a pain in the butt and I wanted to test it before telling you how also so I could have the file to upload to you. Just so you know the file you needed to edit was the framework-res.apk not the .jar. the xml that needed to be edited was located at framework-res.apk\res\values\arrays.xml
Decompiled it just fine but on the compile after I was done editing java was being stupid and the compile failed. Hope this information can help you in the future.

I haven't tried it on 4.3 (have been putting off upgrading because of too many cons for the pros...) - but it bypasses all that verification stuff - still using the built-in tether.

Or edit the framework-res.apk yourself. I am glad I know how now because I will never need to wait for someone else to do it. well the only reason Iwould is if foxfi breaks in a update.

Where did you learn how to edit the framework-res.apk? I would rather know how to do it myself but my java skills are rudimentary at best (though I am a quick learner!!). What did you use to do the editing?
Thanks!

I downloaded a note 2 recovery zip of the modified apk. I then spent about ten minutes googling where the tether subscription checker was located then compared my apk to the note 2 apk. A lot of trial and error if you would like to see it old and slow has a edited recovery zip for the 4.3 tether (came out a day after I was looking for it so that's why I didn't choose that one). Just decompile both apk and look in framework-res.apk\res\values\arrays.xml. what I did when comparing it to the note 2 was open both of the XML in notepad++ and compare lines. I am confident I can now mod it without examples if it ever happens again. Finding a decompiler is the easy part there are a lot of free ones out there just Google it and as long as you can recognize every character in the XML (no odd symbols) it decompiled correctly. I could not find a guid on how to do this but I probably learned more from my errors than I would have learned from a step by step. Hope that helps and sorry if that made no sense typed it in a rush.

Oh and if you dig around in the apk long enough you might notice how easy (but time consuming) it would be to make your own custom modifications and themes for your own rom. I like doing it this way over xposed because no matter what I do xposed is super buggy for me.

Galaxy S5 Corporate Exchange Mod Email Security Bypass

It's just the stock email for 4.4.2 without the security requirement.
Been using it with my Fortune 10 company for a while now perfectly without security, I just use swipe on the lockscreen.
I also don't see why this wouldn't work with any other Touchwiz ROM using 4.4.2. Give it a shot.
1. You need root and Safestrap.
2. Remove current email apk and exchange apk first, with Titanium or another.
3. Flash zip in Safestrap.

Fixed in OP.

I flashed this to my 4.4.2 S4 with Insane KK v11 rom and it works great except it force closes when I try to go into the settings to adjust the sync frequency.
Are there any ideas on how to clear this issue or find another APK that works with 4.4.x?

Where are email.apk and exchange.apk files located? I've searched for them and can't find them. /system /app? Or could they be another file name on a Sprint s5.
Thanks.

I have not tested that method but I assume if you copy the odex version(Going to release tonight) to your external drive(SD Card) then use root explorer to overwrite two existing files ( services.jar & services.dex ), reboot your device. You could have Native hotspot. On the other hand if you use this method and something break's you need to use the below method:
The more approve method would be to install a custom recovery(TWRP), FLash Stockish ROM, then Install Native HotSpot. FYI.... you will trip Knox 0x1 using this method

Question for @MasterZen88
Did you do this mod for the services.jar yourself or is this someone else's work? The reason I ask is because I checked the smali code and discovered there's apx 80% of the original code stripped out. I assume this was necessary and if so then Samsung took extensive measures to put a lock down on the tethering. Can you explain any of this? Very curious. A PM is fine if you prefer. Thanks for offering this mod. Much appreciated.

Yes a LOT of stuff was stripped out comparing it to the stock services.jar. I was expecting one line change but was surprised to see so much stuff being removed. It still works and I haven't noticed any issues. Thanks for the reply.

So I have rooted my note 4 and installed TWRP, but still stock rom. I have done the gallaxy tolls and the hotspot is working, but no toggle. Will this add a toggle?

Nk2 update?

Is something i should rename? Or is it an entirely a new setup?

Anyone have new link for the hotspot download?

i spoke ahead of myself lol, I have no idea how to theme. i know someone who does, and I just send a PM to him to see if he could show me. I'm hoping it will look something like this.
I just removed the "AOSP Theme coming soon" thing because it's not 100% guarranteed yet, but it will probably still be coming!
Worst case, I will try to port the SystemUI and framework-res.apk from Eclipse ROM. (Or maybe even the Nexus 5...)
EDIT: Just got explained how to theme (thanks DROIDRAZ). When I get home tonight I will theme the APKs and hopefully include them in v1.6
