I got something working and will be releasing it in the next few days.
FWIW if you cant wait the directions I posted for the first working hotspot on the s5 will work on NKD, not the mod but the original directions for how I unlocked it.

Can you tell me how you used the tether.dun mod? If you change the value in the sql db it gets changed back. There is no services.jar on nkd outside of boot.oat, which AFAIK is not rebuildable ATM until some work is done on smali/baksmali. I have dumped the oat file using oatdump and have bren searching for the value with a hex editor but I have yet to find it, the offsets given by oatdump dont seem to match up in the hex editor. I would love to get pointed in the right direction here because I have been digging through hex for awhile now.

Anyone with a fitbit get it to sync with 4.3 rom?

Just curious if anyone has been able to get fitbit sync working on a 4.3 based rom?

A few devices have been reported to work with 4.3 in the FitBit community pages, after hacking the build.prop file..
You will need a rooted phone with Android 4.3, and be able to edit build.prop file values (there are apps for available for this)
try these build.prop values :
ro.product.model=GT-I9505G
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=jgedlteue
ro.product.device=jgedlte
Worked for my Galaxy S3 LTE i9305 with CM 10.2 on.

In fact, ive found you just have to set the ro.product.model..
Dont set all of the above, as other things like DSP-Manager in CM 10.2 wont work properly.
Just set :

I found out the same thing too...
but now Dilbert app is telling me that my device is not supported... which is weird because it's just a app to view the daily comic strip...
I hope that it won't give me other problem elsewhere.
Best thing that fitbit could do is to update their app to allow generic for Android 4.3 devices that have BLE (most devices released since 2012 has it) even if it's running a custom rom.
D2VZW GS3 didn't work with this
I changed the value as stated but my big red s3 sees the fitbit, but it refuses to pair with it.
Any ideas?

I keep experiencing the same problem. I would rather run AOSP over TW but I can't figure out how to get this to work. I use ES File Explorer to change the build.prop file but my fitbit flex does not automatically sync. Back to BoneStock until someone can provide some insight.

[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.

I don't remember certainly, but there's no Wi-Fi Direct option in Share via menu on full stock. So, it's not a problem of this custom rom, I think.

"and have the Xposed framework installed"
Sorry, I'm not familiar with Xposed framework.
Xposed framework is cited as Must Have.
Does the Sprint GS5 have Xposed framework installed?
thanx in advance...
No. Xposed framework is an add on for root users. It let's you install other mods. To get xposed framework, download the xposed installer from here:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
Then install the apk, open it and install xposed. It will tell you to reboot. Once you reboot, open it and go to downloads. Search for tether and you'll see the tether app. Also try out Gravity Box, Wanam xposed, they are modules, basically let's you change everything about your phone.

OK, so I followed those steps and it look s like its gonna work but then after a minute I get the notification that I am "Not subscribed to the hotspot service..."
I opened the SQL file and the value of tether_dun_required is back to 1. I tried changing it to zero, rebooting, and trying again but it doesn't work. Something keeps changing the SQL value back to 1.
Any other ideas? Does someone actually have it working this way using the native HotSpot in settings?
I don't have an Android phone any longer, switched to a Windows 8 phone just for a change of pace.
Don't know if Sprint (or Samsung) changed anything as far as the HotSpot goes on the S5.
I do know that it's much easier to do the mod on a DEodexed rom. On an odexed rom, you must first deodex the services.jar and services.odex, do the mod and then reodex the file. The method I used for reodexing required having an actual phone.
For deodexing the rom, I used Dxisda's kitchen which only runs on Linux. Unfortunately, I removed my Linux setup to recover the partition space on my hard drive. It's a chore to get that set back up, and don't plan on doing it. I'm sure someone will get a deodexed stock rom out there fairly soon, they always have in the past.
I am kind of curious if the hotspot mod will still work though and I DO still have the tools installed to deodex the services jar. If someone will send me the services.jar and services.odex from there phone, I'll take a look.
Unfortunately, what you will end up with is a deodexed services.jar that won't work unless you have a deodexed rom to run it on.
