[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
Suppose I should say what rom i'm using and such huh? Starburst 1.9.5r and the new rogue 1.1.3 kernel. Though it was not working when on LoStkernel either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Works for me on stock. What does this setting do anyways?

Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It lets you change some provisioning info.

On other phones the ## codes are installed by one of the non-descript apks.

Often the get removed either on purpose or by accident.

You should unfreeze everything, reboot, and see if it comes back. If not, either it was never in the ROM or you might have removed it (as opposed to freezing)

Stock ROM definitely has it working, you could go back to that, make the changes you want, then go back to your custom ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] topgnat:
Check whether you have com.android.sprintmenu and that out is not frozen.

Telling you from my personal experience as I had the same issue whileI wad experimenting with apks that could be safely removed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Also, is it a custom dialer or stock? Some ROMs they remove things to make them leaner that effect things such as dialer codes. To be honest, strongsteve made me a custom odexed one and when the dialer codes still worked I couldn't believe it. I wish I knew exactly the line you're looking for but I believe it was mentioned earlier
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah like ##data# and your MSL number you can manually adjust your WiMax settings etc
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
I did unfreeze everything I had frozen, including the sprint menu, reboot, and still no work. The thing that is kind of confusing to me is lets say I type ##111111# (or any combo of random numbers) and the numbers stay on screen. When I type one of the actual ## codes, it disappears. Back when I was on stock(atleast I think it was stock, was quite a while ago) the code worked.

I'm not 100% certain, but I do believe it's not the stock dialer. @sfhub The information changeable will survive between different roms? Or is it likely the changed info will be over written if I restore?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I don't about every single tiny bit of info, but everything I can remember is stored in NVRAM, which is portable across ROM flashes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
OK i'll give flashing a stock rom a try. Bit of a problem I can forsee.... How will I be able to verify that the info came across roms, if I can't access the menu from custom rom lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Before you go through all that, check to see if you inadvertently disabled Device Manager. That is needed for any of the ## menu options.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
Smart Device Manager 2.0.1? Still enabled.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Ok, that is the most common cause, so I guess you'll have to go through with the fresh flash.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wagz513:
So I got my new Xperia Play last night and found it has a very odd issue, it's always roaming. I don't really care except you can't activate a Verizon phone while roaming. I do the *228 and it eventually says "activation failed"

I live in downtown Portland OR so there is no shortage of VZ towers and my roommates phone on VZ gets a non-roaming signal just fine. Also when setting network to "home-only" and forcing it to use VZ towers I get no signal. I can't make it into VZ until Tuesday to get it sorted out so I was hoping someone might have an idea on how to fix this.

and I could probably find a phone to have customer service deal with it but I really enjoy working with phones and I haven't seen this issue before so I'm curious about a solution. Thanks for any help you can give,

- Jon
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paxChristos:
I ran into a similar issue, try turning on mobile broadband and then turning roaming to home only...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wagz513:
The mobile broadband is on, but when I set it to home only I get no signal at all. I still only get a signal with roaming but I cant activate with a roaming signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paulobrien:
This is now included in my MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Galaxy Nexus - details.

Following on from my earlier 'left hand' patch, I now have a full set of UI patches for the Galaxy Nexus. These patches change the behaviour of the legacy menu button. Options are:

Show legacy menu button on both sides

Show legacy menu button on both sides and keep them active even when not visible

Show legacy menu button on both sides and show a search button

Show legacy menu button on both sides, keep them active even when not visible and show a search button

Show legacy menu button the left hand side

Show legacy menu button the left hand side and keep it active even when not visible

Show legacy menu button the right hand side

Show legacy menu button the right hand side and keep it active even when not visible

I'm now using both sides always active with search button personally!

Here is the both sides with search button version in operation...

Before:

After:

If you'd like to try it out, simply flash the appropriate update zip from below using ClockworkMod Recovery.

This is only tested on a device running the I9250XXKK1 / ITL41D ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestD1022:
Im a righty so no issue for me. But... it would be great to move the native ICS apps dots to the bottom. This thing needs BIG hands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pikabob:
Could you please look into adding a search button?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
As a lefty this will stop ALOT of accidental clicks onto the Task Manager.

Works perfectly.

Thanks :D

Mark.

great work! is it possible to long-press the search button to launch voice actions or another app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
Paul can you look at my pm? :) It's very important for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tung_meister:
Is it possible to make a version with the back button and search buttons swapped round?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winwiz:
:D

I was going to ask you Mike if you would include this in your ROM!

Have you got a Galaxy Nexus yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pikabob:
Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewstiff:
Wow I'm famous!

On-topic: Nice work Paul, I will be giving this a look once I get home this evening - thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
try blindcat.info it's slow but it gets the job done, use it at school all the time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pikabob:
How would I change the order of the buttons?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestD1022:
Works great. Like having a menu on homescreen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UnlimitedN20:
HI!

Is there any way to change the order of the software buttons :)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Balthazar B:
Is there any way to make them spin around and spew green goo? :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paulobrien:
These are now clockworkmod update zips!

P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Who said software buttons are stupid? They are great! This is the first phone where we can change the position of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pikabob:
How? Is there some easy way?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Depends on your point of view. I would say this patch is quite easy.

Sure you can't change everything. But I'm sure there is a way how we can change all the buttons.

It's not like with the devices with hardware buttons. There it's take it or leave it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] king23adrianc:
i can flash this with stock just rooted right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
Probably you can't because your ROM is not de-odexed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paulobrien:
A deodexed ROM is not required!

P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shetlander:
I have applied the patch giving a menu button at either side with no search button but on restarting I now have a menu button on the left but the right button has disappeared? I have also tried the update with the search button and get the same outcome.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paulobrien:
I'll double check the downloads.

P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winwiz:
I have the same problem Paul.

I then flashed the always on menu botton on the right hand side, and I get the menu appearing every so often on the left.

The menu button does not appear at all in facebook? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siedkins:
Same here - I flashed both sides + search and only seem to be getting menus on the left (search works fine though)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
i also flashed the right hand side menu and now it's like stock but reversed lol

i've reverted back to stock SystemUI until this is worked out. thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DvTonder:
paul,

This is slightly off topic but I was wondering if there is any way to disable or remove the search bar from the homescreens. With the huge dock and the search bar on every screen, full screen Widgets are actually smaller than what they would be on a galaxys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paulobrien:
I tested and reuploaded the patches so hopefully they should all match up now! :)

P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winwiz:
Just flashed

Show legacy menu button on both sides, keep them active even when not visible and show a search button

I am getting the search button but no menu buttons on both sides.....:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paulobrien:
Are you sure?

They only show in apps that use them, otherwise they are invisible but still work.

P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theclueless:
just flashed "Both sides with search + menu button active when not visible", but the menu only showed on left side, nothing on the right; same with "Right hand side + menu button active when not visible"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hhspiny:
I have the same problem. only shown on left side.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paulobrien:
Found the cause of this, you need to:

'adb shell stop && adb remount && adb shell rm /system/app/SystemUI.odex && adb reboot'

I'll fix the install scripts when I get a chance.

P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djdavis:
Ok so say i've flashed one of the mod packages, and I want to put it back to stock, how do i do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theclueless:
yep, that worked! thanks paul
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siedkins:
Before or after flashing? And do I need to reflash the new ones to use this fix?

EDIT 1:

I get this error from ADB running in OSX

Mac-Pro:~ siedkins$ adb shell stop && adb remount && adb shell rm /system/app/SystemUI.odex && adb reboot
remount failed: Operation not permitted
rm failed for /system/app/SystemUI.odex, Read-only file system

Going to try Insecure boot image now and then try again ...

Also might try it from recovery also try mount /System as RW

EDIT 2:

Rebooted to recovery - checked ADB worked via "adb devices" then still got errors:

Mac-Pro:~ siedkins$ adb remount
remount failed: Success
Mac-Pro:~ siedkins$ adb shell rm /system/app/SystemUI.odex
rm: can't remove '/system/app/SystemUI.odex': No such file or directory

And I checked using File Expert to view the contents of SystemUI.apk in /system/app/ and there was no odex file.

P.S. I am using stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hhspiny:
Here is how I did the patch.

1. flash the zip file on the first post through recovery

2. still in recovery, connect to computer, and make sure you can use adb commands

3. use the following commands to establish a shell to the phone

adb shell

then in the shell use the following

mount /system

rm /system/app/SystemUI.odex

reboot

the root cause is that the patch is down through an apk, but original system are odex. need to remove SystemUI.odex to get the patch become effective. but since this is a critical one, you can only do it in recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bierfreund:
Seems not to work with ITL41F. The bar with the buttons is completly missing (also tried with deleting SystemUI.odex).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siedkins:
So just to confirm - ADB can only view the ODEX file if in Recovery mode? Hence why my methods weren't working?

So do I need to reflash the zip file again?

Edit: I can hold out no longer and will be moving to Paul's ROM now and see what the Kitchen version is like with this option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daandman:
This is awesome, thanks for your hard work!

Would be great to have a version with just search & no menu buttons, and a version with search & just 1 menu button on each side (I don't like the look of it on both sides).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Muuhmann:
same here. also the status bar is missing!

what to do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julienrl:
Could this be stopping my OTA update to instal properly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vivanshah:
yup, i had the same issue...reflashed my rom and will try this again soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] varun.gid:

Rooted device, tried to flash this didnt work out.. =[!

Still getting stock options home back and multi task
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
Hi Paul loving your Mods but just three requests please that I hope aren't too big!

1) Can we have Both sides with search + menu button active when not visible and this battery mod .... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1375575

2) Would be possible to have an option with the home button to the right instead of to the left - I think this would be better for right handers

3) maybe maybe maybe, just as an option switching the multitask button for the back one for old S2 users like me :D

Thanks for your help in everything so far!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mklass:
If you long press the search button it does nothing, when you let go the normal search function opens. Also I have dropped a comment on the Modaco thread regarding no search key in landscape.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xuanbao:
Is the menu button supposed to work, even when you're at the lockscreen?

Cause it's annoying and takes away the idea of an lockscreen, since 1 touch on that menu button, unlocks my screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamieD81:
any chance we can have the whole button area trimmed down about half way? i see no need for that much black space, could have small buttons at the bottom like they were the size of capacitive buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AMoosa:
Is there a way to get back to stock ui? Can somebody post their stock file please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Any chance we can get the following mods too:

Menu on Left with Search button

Menu on Right with Search button
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxhorseriderxxx:
Is it too much to ask to know exactly what you did for this mod? I'm interested in reordering the buttons and making the legacy application menu pop up by longpressing the app switcher instead of using the two tiny dots on the corner of the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julienrl:
I would like this too so I can start getting OTA updates again

I would also need the ODEX file I had to delete
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ganxta:
paul:

will it be possible to create a method for deactivating the buttons while gaming? i know, we need the buttons but how about to just use a small icon in the corner and if this icon will be touched the display buttons come back. no iconbar just a little icon in the corner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeffreycentex:
Don't flash this on a Verizon Galaxy Nexus (At least the right-hand side version)...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azndan2:
Is there a possibility of having a patch to remove the multi task button? I NEVER use that button. I'd rather just have the original four android buttons.

Or make long press Home button as multi-task/recent apps (like it was in Gingerbread).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Oilersfan:
No, but I wish it did.

YES I agree completely. This multi tasking button is just a waste of space.

Totally Agree... Swap the menu and multitask buttons... or make the home button longpress or menu long press the multi task.. do away with the little corner buttons all together. I like that

You can do this in the settings for Nova Launcher easily enough. You should give it a try. It has a bunch of useful features over the stock launcher.
