1. Download the com.coremobility.app.vnotes-1.apk posted by ssmercurys here.
2. Move the apk to your /system/apps folder
This folder is normally mounted read-only. There are several ways to get around this obstacle. For me, the easiest was to install ES File Explorer from the Play Store.
Then in ES File Explorer:
Select menu -> Tools and turn on the Root Explorer switch
Now, tap on Root Explorer and a pop up window will appear.
Select mount R/W for both root and system
Copy com.coremobility.app.vnotes-1.apk to /system/apps
3. Reboot your phone
4. Provision your voicemail with the Sprint network
Open the people app
Create a new contact called Activate Voicemail with this email address: [email protected]
(note that is v - v - m, not w-m!)
Open the voicemail app
Click the plus sign / add contact button.
Add the contact you just created
Click Record for +- 10 seconds
Click stop recording.
Now click send at the bottom of the screen.
You should now get a text back from short code 9016 saying "Provisioning successful"
This should thoretically work with any Sprint MVNO. I use Red Pocket Mobile, for instance. I will update here if I encounter any bugs over the next few days.

Sorry if this has been posted before. This was one of those "late-night family specials" and I had to write it down somewhere.
I will polish this up later. Hope it helps!
1) Connect your iPhone to iTunes and make a backup.
a) Wait for iPhone to list.
b) Right click, then select Backup.
Depending on the size of data on your phone and the last backup performed, this could take a while.
2) Download SQLite Database Extractor and iFunBox. It's a bit unpleasant, but it'll work.
3) Do the following to restore key information:
PHOTOS
-----------
iPhones are recognized as cameras in Windows and Mac, so pull photos like you normally would (iPhoto, Windows Explorer, etc.)
SMS
-----
Go to this (http://faked.org/isms2droid/index.php) website and follow the instructions.
CONTACTS
--------------
This is the messy part. (You must be syncing your phone with a Google account to make this work.)
BIG NOTE: If your iPhone can access the internet, the easiest way to do this is to add your Google account on the iPhone and sync everything that way. See http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252 for details.
1) Open iPhone Backup Extractor and wait for it to finish loading data.
2) When finished, click "Expert Mode"
3) Click on LIBRARY, then ADDRESSBOOK, then AddressBook.sqlitedb
4) Click Extract Selected, then save to somewhere convenient (like the Desktop). It will display a warning; just click OK. NOTE: The program costs $34.95. Unfortunately, it's not worth it.
5) Navigate to the folder you saved this file in, then click LIBRARY, then AddressBook.
5) Open SQL Database Extractor. When it opens, drag this file into the application. If you did this right, you should get tons of dropdown menus.
6) Click on Edit, then Create Table. Name the table whatever you want; I will use "TEST_TABLE" as the name in this example.
7) Click Add, then type "First" for field name and "TEXT" for field type. Repeat this twice, entering the data below:
Field Names: "Last", "Mobile"
Field Type: "TEXT", "TEXT"
8) When done, click on "Execute SQL" and enter the following query in the SQL string:
INSERT INTO "test_table" (First, Last, Mobile) SELECT AbPerson.First AS First, AbPerson.Last AS Last, AbMultiValue.value AS Mobile FROM AbPerson, AbMultiValue WHERE (AbPerson.ROWID = AbMultiValue.record_id AND AbMultiValue.value LIKE '%(%)%')
If it worked, you should see "No error" underneath "Error message from database engine"
BIG NOTE: If you mess up the query above, SQLite Database Browser will freeze! Yes, I know it sucks. I'm going to make a better way.
BIG NOTE 2: Everyone's phone number will be recognized as mobile numbers. Remember that this is a quick way of getting your contacts back.
BIG NOTE 3: If the person's number is not in the format [+...] (prefix) suffix, it will be lost. Sorry
9) Click on "Browse Data" and select the table you created (here, TEST_TABLE) from the "Table" dropdown. If it worked, you'll see first names, last names and phone numbers.
10) Click on File, then Export, then Export As CSV File. Select TEST_TABLE for the table name and click Export to complete. Save it somewhere convenient, like the desktop. Click OK, then exit. Don't save the new table.
11) Log into your Gmail account and go to your contacts. Click on MORE ACTIONS, then IMPORT.
12) Browse to the CSV file you just created. Then click Import. If it worked, you should see all of your contacts in Gmail, and they will appear in your phone in a few minutes.
The worst is now behind you!
MUSIC
--------
Going by memory, sorry. There are two good ways of doing it:
(a) the easy way:
1) Download DoubleTwist and install
2) Wait for device to connect
3) Click on it, then click Sync Music
4) Get good coffee to enjoy while waiting.
(b) the geeky way:
1) Open iFunBox
2) When your phone is recognized, expand it, then click Raw File System, then iTunes_Control, then Music
3) Copy ALL folders somewhere convenient.
4) When that's finished, connect your Android device as USB storage.
5) Create a folder called Music or similar if not already present.
6) Copy all of those folders into that directory. You will lose the pretty names, but all of the music will be organized automatically.
Are you addicted to facebook? are you in a comment war on a status? do you just always want your notifications right as they happen? then this is the thread for you.
This "hack" will allow you to enable more syncing options from within the app itself after a simple modification. what we will essentially be doing is tricking the Facebook app into thinking we are Facebook employees, thus enabling more options.
Items Needed:
1. ROOTED Android Phone with the Facebook App Installed
2. an SQLite Editor off the market (there are some free alternatives, though i suggest the paid version of SQLite Editor)
3. Some knowledge
4. A File Manager such as Root Explorer is also another route to go about this, but we won't use that method in this tutorial unless it is requested in the replies.
Procedure
1. Open SQLite Manager and grant it root
2. let it scan all the folders and databases
3. once it has finished scanning, scroll down to the Facebook App and tap it. this will load the databases the facebook app uses
4. select fb.db
5. you will now see several fields, select "key_value"
6. this is where the mods will take place. first locate the "seen_employee" key, and scroll to the right
7. long-press the value "false" until the menu pops up
8. select edit field
9. delete "false" and type in "true"
10. press save
11. repeat for the "is_employee" field
12. exit SQLite Editor
13. Open the facebook app
14. press back, then menu, and select settings.
15. tap refresh interval and now if you scroll to the bottom you can see the option for "every minute (beta only)"
16. select it, and you are all done!
This also unlocks the options for sandboxing and ssl checks, and i suggest you change neither of those
if this helped, please, press thanks!

This for remove fb messenger or enable fb mesesenger? Can understand

This has been patched as of v131 and on. Internal menu can still be brought up. However, attempting to change params in mobile config throws an error. You need an employee or tester login. None of the mobile config settings will be listed.
Edit:
If you have automatic updates like I do (preference), uncheck Messenger. Downgrade to a version from July. You can get one from APK Mirror.
Facebook pushed a server side script that now displays a permanent upgrade notification on the top of the messages list. This targets clients using versions all the way down to 124.0
I downgraded one by one to each version (excl beta!) found on APK Mirror. Right now, v123 and below does not have this problem. You still get all the other features and the internal menu.
This thread is is related to a temporary fix for the app SCPS (Social Contact Photo Sync) & CoSy where it is unable to read the Facebook app's database file
Root Required (This fix is for the root only method)
Q. Why does this happen?
Ans. I'm not sure. I checked the logs of CoSy and it turns out it is looking for the database file in 3 locations:
[
/data/user/0/com.facebook.katana/databases/contacts_db2
/data/data/com.facebook.katana/databases/contacts_db2
/data/user/0/com.facebook.katana/databases/contacts_db2
]
The highlighted path is the storage path of the database in my phone. Since, SCPS and CoSy both have ROOT access, they were still unable to access the file. That's why I'm not sure why this error occurs. I have emailed the Developer about this and hopefully this will be fixed soon (Not even sure if it is the SCPS's problem or my phone's (OnePlus3 running Android Oreo 8.0.0 OxygenOS- 5.0.3)).
THE FIX
You will need to ROOT.
Download the official Facebook, Messenger, ES File Explorer (you can download any other root file explorer too) and SCPS apps from the PlayStore. (CoSy isn't useful because it can't import from Messenger yet)
YOU CAN SKIP THIS STEP IF YOU HAVE BEEN USING FACEBOOK FOR A WHILE
Log in Facebook and go to your profile and open the list of your friends. Scroll down a few times so it starts caching the friends data. It can take a few minutes depending on your connection and the number of your friends (You don't need to scroll all the way through all your friends, a couple of times is enough. For example, I have about a 1000 friends on Facebook and my database size was about 6MB, so it took a few seconds to cache the list).
Log in to Messenger.
Open ES or your file explorer and give it root access.
Go to /data/data/com.facebook.katana/databases/ and look for contacts_db2 file.
If the folder does not exist, check for contacts_db2 in both the paths specified above.
Copy the contacts_db2 file and go /data/data/com.facebook.orca/databases (or wherever you found your apps data to be from the above given two paths) and overwrite the contacts_db2 file over there.
Open SCPS. and click on Facebook. Select "Setup facebook" and then select "Preferred app" as "Messenger App". Let the other settings be the default and click on OK.
Click on Facebook again. This time select "Enable network".
If "Enable network" is not visible, select "Reload the network".
Voila. It should be able to read all of your Facebook friends now.
Now, you can proceed and setup Auto-Sync for your contacts.
Hi! I stumbled on your post Googling for this same problem with CoSy, but I also think I've found a simpler fix that allows CoSy to be used.
The problem appears to be a permissions issue with the Facebook app's data store. I noticed that com.facebook.orca and com.facebook.katana folders have different permissions, with the former being a more permissive 0751 (rwxr-xr-x). I changed katana's permissions to match and away it goes!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Oh, that makes sense why it was not able read Facebook's DB, but read Messenger's. I never bothered to check the directories' permissions.
For me basic com.facebook.orca and com.facebook.katana folders have 700 and database folder inside them has 771. Sadly can't make SCPS to sync.
Edit: set com.facebook.katana to 751 recursive and SCPS sync fine. Ty
Have same problem but... there is no "databases" in Facebook directory. I don't have Facebook directory under "root/data/data/". Why?
Hi,
I just received my work phone and I'm using dual sim.
Now I've always seen app twin function on my previous P10. But now I'm trying to use the whatsapp app twin. When I go into settings and enable the whatsapp app twin, it'll create the app.. but when I open the app it instantly uses my private whatsapp information. So both apps open up the same whatsapp account.
Is there something I have to do first or is it not yet optimized for EMUI 8.1?
thank you.
Same here
The problem persists under EMUI Version 9.1.0
Here the process to reproduce the issue:
1. Install WhatsApp
2. Go to settings | Apps | App Twin | turn on the switch to create a "work profile copy" of the "WhatsApp"
3. Go to app drawer and find the WhatsApp icon with the little "work profile" extra icon attached
4. Open that "work profile" WhatsApp
5. The WhatsApp welcome dialogue appears (like when first time starting WA after installation)
6. Enter your account data and verify your phone number
7. WhatsApp asks for permission to "contacts" and "local storage" (work profile contacts should be empty, because I did not set up any account for the work profile)
8. grant access to "contacts" and "local storage"
9. Go on "new conversation" in WhatsApp and see, that there are all your contacts shown .... This is the problem!
An app started unter the work profile should be isolated from my "normal" profile (Google account). That is the idea behind using the work profile. But it is not working...
The app "Shelter" works for me (even thoug it claims, that it is not compatible with EMUI).
