Database Info

[GUIDE][HOW TO]Edit Earphones Connected

I don't know if others are having this problem, but many of the screen shots I took don't load at first. Try a few refreshes, it should make the how to easier to follow.
So I only recently tried this out. I haven't found any glaring issues with it, but a backup is recommended just in case. No warranty, I'm not responsible if somehow this breaks/bricks your phone, causes your phone to not dial during an emergency, etc.
Also I didn't really proofread this as I don't have a large amount of time available, so sorry for any dumb grammar errors. I'll look it over eventually.
I didn't like the choices that Samsung provided in the Earphones Connected options for the notification drop down. Here is example of the stock:
My original hope was to remove it completely, but I wasn't successful with my first attempts. Instead I found that I could edit the SQLite database contained within. This allows one to add custom applications as they see fit.
If you want to remove it completely:

Requirements:
Galaxy S3 with stock or near stock firmware (CM9/CM10 will won't have Earphones Connected options to my knowledge)
Root Access
SQLite Editor: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor
Free version doesn't seem to work. Try if you insist:
SQLite Editor(Free version SQLite editor, thanks eschelon)
It appears the free one is a version behind. 1.4.1, maybe they will update it eventually.
Where the pay for app is 1.5
1.5 had some ICS compatibility added..
Step 1)
Open SQLite
You should get a screen like this:
Step 2)
Tap "TouchWiz home"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then tap "launcher.db"
Then tap "appOrder" ...
Step 3)
This should bring you to the SQLite table for your app drawer. This will list the info we need for launching the app of you choosing. For this example we will use Google Maps as our app of choice. The screen should like similar to this, (a jumbled mess):
From here you want to hit the menu button and select "Set Filter
Type in maps, and click ok:
Step 4)
Now you will have a bit more manageable table. Press and hold on maps until you get this pop up and select "Edit Record".
Step 5)
Scroll down and copy the "componentName" data:
Step 6)
Press back until you get to the database lists again. Then tap the "ContextAwareService"
Step 7)
Tap "logDatabase.db" ...
Then tap "appLogTable"
side note: sqlite_sequence determines what number the next entry will be in the table. This may be necessary to know in case there are too many apps in the table and the ones you try to add don't show on the screen. Also if I remember right setting this to 0 will reset you to default applications and clear your changes, although it doesn't always fix problems with crashes if you experience them. I would still do a nandroid and/or titanium backup just in case
Step 8)
You should now have a screen like this: (you may notice google play is already on my list, ignore that)
Press the menu button and select "New Record"
Side note: You can long press the other entries and delete them as you please if there are particular ones you don't want listed. I'd recommend at least screen shot before doing so. I wouldn't actually do this, as I think I found a more stable work around for unwanted apps: See here.
Step 9)
Warning a lot of people are gettings this error on this step:"Record creation failed-unable to open database file"
I am unaware of the cause or how to fix it as of yet. I am using the paid for version myself, so I don't know if that makes some sort of difference. I would doubt that it does. Also I am on the Bean rom.
Please post if you have failure or success and what rom you are using as well as if you used the free or paid version of the app.
Now paste the earlier copied text into the "activity_name" section.
Paste the earlier copied text up to the / in the "pkg_name" section (See the screen shot for example)
Tap "save"
side note:The last field "exec_freq_with_headset" seems to keep track of how many times you launch the app through the notification menu. So far it seems to order the most frequently used on the left, and the lest frequently used on the right. Although you shouldn't need to add any number there as it will default to 0. This should better explain the "exec_freq_with_headset"
Woot Done:
Plug in some headphones and see what it looks like:

Strange, it worked for Play Music, but not for Pandora or XiiaLite. Said something about not being able to save the database.

Were the headphones still plugged in? Maybe it was still accessing the database when you attempted to edit it?
Another thought is to close out SQLite Editor and reopen it, maybe once you used Play Music it incremented the "exec_freq_with_headset" field and the editor didn't see the update yet.

I'll try downloading those apps, see if I have any similar issues.
Working fine for me. I can post a screen shot later. I gotta run some errands.
Only tried Pandora, but it worked just fine. I have yet to run into the same problem with the database files not opening. Maybe a reboot or clear cache/dalvik cache. Those are my usual attempts when I feel stumped.

Looking forward to this. Will try this tomorrow

nice. was just in the subway today wondering if there was a way to change those, since i would like to add spotify and poweramp in the list. thanks!

I messed up my database, somehow causing the process to continually crash. Which in the past I was able to delete everything and it went back to the default. This time it went back to default but still crashed. So I did a restore from titanium backup and it was back to normal. So probably backup in between each edit. Also the "exec_freq_with_headset" seems to be based on your total number of apps. So if you have like 10 total the one with 10 will show up on the far left, up to 5 will show. I hope this makes sense.
10 ... 9 ... 8 ... 7 ... 6
This seems to negate the need to delete any of them. Also I think deleting may have caused my process to crash previously.
Heres some screen shots to explain it: (if i put one of the app's "exec_freq_with_headset" to 11 it would shift all the rest to the right one and knock the farthest right one off the screen's visibility. But if I set to 12 I think it will cause crash issues.)

When I try to save (step 9), it won't and I get the error "Record creation failed-unable to open database file"
Happened when I tried to add MortPlayer, Listen, and Pandora. None would save. I'm rooted and running regular Touchwiz rom.
Also, I noticed that in Step 3 most of my apps were not listed, including many of my favorite audio apps. I realized that this is because I'm using a different launcher (Apex), and only the apps that were on the Samsung launcher before I started using Apex were showing up. To fix this, I cleared Apex as the default launcher, launched the Samsung launcher, let all the apps show in the app drawer, then started over with your steps. This time all the apps were there in Step 3.

You may be able to open the database for your particular home app instead of switching back. Just a thought.

Visual Voice Mail for AOSP [Need Help]

I'm trying to get Verizon Visual Voicemail working on CM10 on SGS3. I have 3 different apk's:
Verizon's Visual Voicemail from the market (pulled from my DInc)
Verizon's Visual Voicemail Nexus from the market (after a few build.prop edits)
Stock Touchwiz Visual Voicemail (Thanks to NoSympathy)
Both market versions install without a problem, but have connection timeouts when trying to verify my vvm subscription.
The Touchwiz version won't even install.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm digging through the apk's to try and find why both market versions time out.

I would try stuff from the gnex since it is built for AOSP

The Visual Voicemail Nexus app from the market is for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus.

You are correct, however - I think what con's trying to refer you to is what I'd try first - go online and search "verizon galaxy nexus visual voicemail apk", find it, download it, transfer to your phone, and install from "unknown souce". It may work right off the bat, but it may not also. If not, it sure will give you a good starting point with where to go with it since A) its already build for AOSP and B) already built to communicate with the Verizon network.
Good luck!

Rather than beating your head in trying to get it to work you could save the 3 or 4 bucks a month and just use Google voice, is kind of irritating through the initial setup but in the end works well and does the same thing. Just my 0.02

Could you post the apk for the Stock one? I've been trying to get my hands on it since synergy ROM doesn't have it included and now I can't even see any of the voicemail apps in the market. Short of flashing back to stock ripping it and then re-flashing the ROM I don't know how else to get ahold of it lol.

With the Droid Incredible I had to do these steps to get Verizons visual voice mail to work with CM7.2
Use file manager and go to "/system"
Mount the folder R/W(Read/Write
open build.prop in Text Editor
look for "ro.horizontalVvvm = True" and chenge it to False
look for "ro.horizontalBUA = True" and change it to False
save your edit, and back out to thr "/system" folder. Once again switch the directory back to R/O, exit your apps and reboot.
You shoulkd now be able to install your Vvm.apk without it telling you to uninstall it because one is already installed.
Note I am using Virtuous rom however it should work for most roms I would imagine.
If you do not have a Vvm.apk here is one from the Droid X but it works great on my incredible. Looks almost like the stock incredible version.

The stock vvm app installs fine, it just hangs while trying to verify the subscription. I thought it might have been the ro.horizontal.vvm line in the build.prop like on cm7, but that line wasn't even in there. I added it just to see and it made no difference. I switched to Google voice and I'm loving how it integrates directly into the phone app instead of having to run a separate vvm app. Thanks for the post.
Btw, anyone wanting the stock tw or old Verizon apk, feel free to pm me and ill send it to you.

Sorry for not being too much help, but is Verizon's VVM better than Google Voice?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Even when it was working on tw, no. Google voice is infinitely better, especially once you have it incorporated into the aosp phone app. The voice mails show up in your call log. Only problem is had was recording my greeting. After the initial setup, it's totally seamless.

The only problem I have with using google voice is that it like stores all my text messages. Not cool.
otherwise I'd use google voice. Unles there is a way to turn that off.

[MOD]Working JB built AOSP MMS with emoji support, Quick Message, Quick reply working

The problem: All JB built AOSP/CM mms.apk files do not work with TW ROMS.
Observations: Most work fine, but crash on sending or receiving an MMS message. ICS built mms.apks do work, but since ICS doesn't have Quick Reply or MMS preview built in, it's a step behind.
Bounty requirements: Working JB (preferred 4.2 as it has Group Messaging built in) that doesn't crash on MMS sending or receiving. Also, Emoji support, Full timestamp support, soft keyboard type, and SMS to MMS converter. If you patch mms.apk directly via source, a changelog or link commit back to CM/Gerrit is required. An explanation of what was missing/changed if no direct code was patched.
Method of payment: All parties who join into the bounty will be solely responsible for payment, which are to be arranged between the two parties.
I will start by offering $5. If you would like to contribute to get this working, please post and I'll keep a running list and keep the thread updated with the current amount.
Update: Adrynalyne, of Team BAMF, was kind enough to lend a hand and provided a fix, which he details in this thread. Attached is the fix.
#Notes# The fix SOMETIMES hangs while sending an MMS issue. I've been able to reproduce, but never when I can capture a logcat of it. If you know how to enter/use logcat, and you want to help refine the fix even more, by all means, post in here or PM me. I actually don't think it has to do with the fix, but the mms.apk itself. But again, we need people who can post logcats to narrow it down.
This fix SHOULD work on ANY unmodified, deodexed framework.jar based on the VRBLK1 leak. If you don't know what this is, ASK your dev if they've modified the framework.jar. If your phone blows up, YOYO, you're on your own. As always, its a good idea to make a nandroid backup, just to be safe.
Update: Adrynalyne hammered out a working fix for BLK3, which I posted below. I tested it on Beans Build 8. Works like a charm
More importantly, please consider donating to adrynalyne here. He did this out of kindness, as a favor to me. He doesn't even own the phone, I had to test and send files and logcats to him. Any little bit helps, and I think it's awesome he helps out with a device his team does not directly support, and hope more devs in the future will help each other in this manner. Thanks.

That doesn't mean it can't be done. Can't never did nothin'. I'm starting with 4.1.x compatibility first.
As it stands, almost all my work so far to get AOSP MMS working has been framework code. I am going to post it here shortly so that I can get some more test results.
Edit: attached.
A couple things to note: Only send MMS through the app itself. In other words, don't try to send something from the gallery as MMS. Instead, open the MMS app and attach a file. I'll work on that limitation later.
This has worked for mexiken, both for receiving and sending, however sending becomes spotty. So let me know how it turns out. I do not know that this is the final fix and it may need some more work. I ran out of time due to Thanksgiving and family responsibilities. Once it fully works, I will be more than happy to share how I did it with everyone. Also, I modded the framework from his rom, so you might want to make a nandroid first, in case your JB TW rom isn't compatible. This is a test, and if your phone blows up, I hold no responsibility for it. I do not own this phone, so I cannot test it.
This package contains framework and a JB MMS app.

We've got it working on my phone, but I really don't know if it's my signal issues or what. I'm playing around with a few different combinations of files.
I will test further later tonight if I get out of the house. Worst case, I'll check tomorrow at work.

Also, I modded the framework from his rom, so you might want to make a nandroid first, in case your JB TW rom isn't compatible. This is a test, and if your phone blows up, I hold no responsibility for it. I do not own this phone, so I cannot test it.
This package contains framework and a JB MMS app.

I'm not super familiar with how the framework works, so I figured I better ask before flashing this. I have a T-Mobile GS3 running a JB TW rom. Is the framework carrier or rom specific, meaning it would cause issues for me?

I am going to assume so, yes. Once we verify it fully works, I can make versions for any version of phone...or post how it was done so others can (doesn't matter to me, I am doing this for free because mexiken is a good friend of mine).

Hello all!
Has anyone tried this on a VZW S3 yet? I'm running jelly beans stock rom with Nova launcher and I'm not feeling brave enough to try the fix just yet.

I have the VZW S3 and can confirm it works in that it doesn't crash anymore, but it doesn't send reliably.

Good to hear, but what do you mean? Is it just MMS that won't send reliably or texts in general? What about receiving texts and MMS? Also, I know I'm a super noob, but how can I help with develop this?

That doesn't mean it can't be done. Can't never did nothin'. I'm starting with 4.1.x compatibility first.
As it stands, almost all my work so far to get AOSP MMS working has been framework code. I am going to post it here shortly so that I can get some more test results.
Edit: attached.
A couple things to note: Only send MMS through the app itself. In other words, don't try to send something from the gallery as MMS. Instead, open the MMS app and attach a file. I'll work on that limitation later.

Can you test it? Make a nandroid first. Verizon is having some MMS issues as well, which *may* attribute to this. I sent an MMS to my wife on a different phone today and it took a while for her to get it.
What I really need is a full logcat of when sending fails so I can figure out where its getting stuck. I believe mexiken told me he has about a 66% successful send rate.
Receiving always works AFAIK.
Try sending while on, and off WiFi.

Would love to help, unfortunately this does not seem to work on Synergy 118. tried with complete wipe as well as clearing Cache and Dalvik, still no dice. This looks like a great mod though.

Looking for Sprint Voicemail APK for JB, CM10 or 10.1

Hey yall I am trying to restore my Sprint VVM and I have downloaded a few random APKs from xda and pushed them to system and they are fizzling out in the long run. Glitchy and not working properly.
If anyone has some files they know will work on JB, CM10 or CM10.1 please post up or point me in the right direction. I think others will find this info useful as well as most people prefer VVM to google voice and the loss of VM in CM builds is unbearable.
Can someone pull the file from the soak test? Is there a link to the soak test file still where I can try and pull it?
TIA

Did you check this thread? OP says it works on CM10.

I've tried both of these, one comes from the post linked above, and neither of them work. The 3mb file at least stays open without crashing but it never retreives any voicemails.
Anyone, be sure and let me know if/how you get these to work.

I just copied the one that was on my stock ics seems to work fine for me.... i remember it upgraded once cant remember if i was onn the jb soak or not
Sent from my XT897C using xda app-developers app on CM-10.1

Matt2k12 i got an apk off of google in pushed to system/app. Its works but a work around persay. If you receive a voicemail. Your notified through the text message. It says call 605******* but doesnt work. What does work is hold down 1 in the dial pad. It calls your voicemail and you enter yur password and then you get your voicemail. I also got the 9016 message with it as well. But regardless you have the ability to listen to your voicemail. I have the apk that im using for this to work but dont now how to upload it to xda. If you know how to please tell me.my vvm is version 5.3.0.30

I went into my stock asanti C zip using Solid Explorer and moved over 2 apk files that were both in the system/app folder. First was SprintVoiceMail.apk @ 64.78kb. Second was VVM.apk which was 3.58mb. I thought I needed them both since they were both in that zip file. But when I rebooted I had 2 voicemail apps. The 64kb one direct dials VM and the 3.5mb one obviously is the VVM app. I successfully sent the activation text ([email protected]) and got some sort of confirmation message on screen (forget now) and then I even sent a VM to myself to test it. It took a few minutes to come in but it did. But then I got a call a little bit later and the guy left me a message cuz I got the 9016 but I never got the VVM notification. Indeed, its not in my VVM inbox either. Can you please confirm which of these files you have in your system/app folder? Did you install or extract to those files or simply move/copy to from the zip as I did?
TIA

I just copied the vvm apk to system/app and rebooted. When i get a voicemail i dont get a notification in the app either. But i get a text thst says the phone number that left the voicemail. Then i hold 1 in the phone dialer and it calls voicemail and i listen to the voicemail. I know its eritating not being able to use the app itself but at least you have the ability to listen to voicemail

Xperia Z3 Group MMS?

Hi. I plan on getting the Xperia Z3 phone. One thing that will stop me from getting it is if it does not support Group MMS (group/threaded messaging). This means if you send a message to multiple people, it's more of a group chat, rather than individual messages to each device. And if someone responds, it stays within the thread. I have this currently on my HTC One. It works with iPhones and other Android devices.
Can anyone confirm if the Z3 has this capability?
Thanks

I don't know if the default messaging app does (it probably does) but if not just download an alternative. I use Textra on my Nexus 5 and that does it.

Please post questions in the Q&A section

I read the Z2 does not have the capability of group messaging. My Galaxy S II wasn't able to do it, but my HTC One is. Another thing is that I have T-Mobile, which has WiFi calling. My HTC One is capable of sending group messages (MMS) and SMS over WiFi Calling, and I'm really hoping the Z3 does the same. It's really make a or break for me.
Using third party apps for sending MMS or SMS over WiFi calling does not work! They all fail to have that capability.

Yes, the Z3 / Z3c does support group MMS send/receive. To start a group MMS, create a new conversation, select 'add subject' from the menu, and type a least one character -- this make the conversation a group MMS. If you don't specify a subject then the message is sent as a standard SMS to multiple recipients.

Awesome!!!!!!!
Can that include a space as a character? What if someone else initiates the group chat? Well I suppose the subject will be auto-added anyways?
This is great news. Can't wait for this phone to be released.

So I got the phone, I add a subject, but all responses come back as single SMS! Help!?!?! I have 13 days before I can return this phone. Everyone gets it as a group, but I get SMS's back. And on top of it all, I have to add a subject every time i want to send a response.
This sucks! And T-mobile wants a $50 restocking fee!

You can't just use hangouts/facebook messenger/any number of alternatives which are free and better in every way? You're not paying loads for your MMS's I take it?

No, my friends want to use their stock messaging on their iPhones. This worked perfectly fine on my HTC One.

It may be in the Vendor Overlays.
Let me see if I can get it without root....
I am downloading a FTF now, I will see if I can grab it from there. the issue will be if you can push it to your system without root....

Well, not sure you can root on AT&T, I bet your bootloader is well and truly locked and there is no locked bootloader root yet.
But once (If) there is it is no problem to root as you just flash a stock FTF to revert back to factory settings. Root in itself does not void warranty.
You could always flash the FTF for my phone as well (Vodafone UK) you will get Vodafone bloatware and may lose some AT&T specific stuff but then you will have to weigh up what you want more.

I use T-Mobile, and use WiFi calling which allows texts/MMS through wifi. I don't think this will work.
I can unlock my bootloader, but it will void the warranty and i won't be able to return my phone

Can you message me on gchat? it's my username on here @ gmail.com

I have it on t-mobile and don't have an issue. I also had a Z2 and didn't have an issue. I use hangouts though, but I don't see why that would matter. Only thing I can tell you is that if you have wi-fi calling on and it's active, you will not be able to do MMS properly.
