[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CHUUZE:
My XML file is different

before I jack up my S4 lemme clarify something:

I looked in the CSC and found the feature.xml file but I only have one line of code under camera:

<!-- Camera -->

<CscFeature_Camera_CameraFlicker>60hz</CscFeature_Camera_cameraflicker>

<!-- GMS -->

It might be related to an app I installed too "Multi Window Manager", I noticed it added a bunch of lines to the bottom of the xml file related to what apps it could open. It could also be that I flashed ForceROM by [MENTION=1354510]Unknownforce[/MENTION], but I am not sure what deleted all the camera lines.

should I insert the missing code or just copy + paste the edited feature.xml that was posted then turn off and on?

:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] travisw0204:
I would think flashing the file should add the code and you should be good after a reboot. However, I don't know much about those codes to say it will or won't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crawrj:
I would copy your current one to a backup. Then I would copy and paste the edited one. Then you can copy the MultiWindow section out of the old one and into the new one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] travisw0204:
Predictive Text is there but there is no auto correction.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] XXXavior:
not sure what's going on here

shutter sound menu still isn't showing up for me...maybe I need to use root explorer cuz solid explorer isn't doing the job...?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crawrj:
I use Solid Explorer so I can say it works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ACoolGuy:
Enables the option, but it doesnt do anything when enabled. Check it out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] travisw0204:
Yeah I enabled it as well and didn't see any change
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ACoolGuy:
The camera hack lines will not be present on roms that prevent the sprint "optimizations" from running. The XAS default features.xml does not have the lines. Look in the SPR folder for the Sprint version of that file. Or simply just add the entire line of code.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] lastexile1987:
One "mod" I would recommend even though I don't know the payout yet would be the Qualcomm snapdragon battery guru app available on the Play store.

I installed it on my phone yesterday and it spends two days learning the way you use your phone, supposedly. Looking forward to what it will actually do for me because I have always been a battery wh*re...

Sorry if this isn't necessarily a MOD but just felt like sharing.

[MOD] Turn on stock Wifi hotspot for Sprint Galaxy S4

Okay Folks,

I hadn't found any vids on YouTube yet on how to do this for Sprint, so I decided to help out and take matters into my own hands.

Here's the vid I made, and seems to work well. Don't have to use Clockwork, DO have to Root phone first. I recommend the motochopper method, quick and easy.

This will enable the internal system wifi tethering on your settings menu. This is for Samsung Galaxy S4 on Sprint. Do at your own risk. You are about to replace your Services Jar file and odex files, so... At your own risk. I claim no responsibility and modifying your phone in such a manner is your responsibility and liability. Why? Because you own your phone. I don't... and neither does Sprint. I am providing this information for educational purposes only.

I had to edit both the feature.xml in the SPR > system > csc and the feature.xml in the root system > csc for the shutter sound menu to finally appear on ForceROM v1.0.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guitardoc64:
That might have been why I was unsuccessful. Ill give it a try and report how it goes.

[MOD] Camera during call and shutter sound on/off Enabled

Very easy mod to do just make sure your rooted and have root explorer on your phone.

Go to root explorer scroll down to system click on it scroll to CSC click on it now scroll down to Feature XML. Open it in text editor. Look for <CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>True</CscFeature change the text from false to true that will open the option in the camera so that you can turn the sound on and off. Now look for <CscFeature_Camera_EnableCameraDuringCall>True</CscFeature change the text from false to true. Take note to the pic below. Once you do that back out and save than reboot your phone and you're all set.

I love the 90s. Good times.[/QUOTE]

Not sure if you're aware by now, but unlike the S3, on the S4 (I'm still stock) - you can actually turn off the camera shutter sound by simply using the volume button to turn the phone volume off BEFORE entering camera mode.

It needs to be set before because if you press the volume key in camera mode, it acts as the zoom in and out by default in camera mode.

No need for editing anything to turn off the shutter sound, unless you want the shutter sound menu toggle option.

FWIW, in the camera settings menu, you get 3 options for what the vol button does while in camera mode.

yep!!! i noticed that too the other day...it's perfect
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gershee:
I personally delete all my sounds from /system/media/audio/ui/

but if you wanted you could just rename or remove the camera shutter sound file. :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] LAYGO:
Awesome, I was searching for my notification sounds! I have one sound for my texts notification that wasn't on the S4, so I had to copy it from my tablet so I could know when I got a text.

THANKS!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Sterist:
I only have one entry under CAMERA and it's the flicker option.

what the hell....?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Sterist:
edit:

FOR THOSE HAVING TROUBLE:

here's the fix:

open the /system/csc/SPR/csc/Features.xml

1. edit the appropriate "false" values on shutter sound / call entries

2. COPY the entire entry(ies)

(for example)

<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>

3. PASTE the entry(ies) into the /system/csc/Features.xml

4. reboot

profit!

as seen in the post above, the /system/csc/Features.xml only contained one entry relevant to Camera. this fix is for those having the same problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Verilin:
Thanks so much, I didn't even think about checking to see if it was at the highest resolution.! I don't mind the altered ratio either.

It's still useful. I had no idea this app existed! Thanks for posting this.

If anyone is having trouble rooting after the May 7th OTA update, here is a thread that got me around it. Not my own work obviously but I was pulling my hair out for days trying to figure this out till I saw this and I have verified it works. ***NOTE*** As always, be careful when rooting, if done improperly you can brick your device. Make sure you have the Sprint Galaxy S4 L720 model before following the instructions in the link below.

The Motochopper exploit video posetd earlier in this thread will NOT work if you have accepted the OTA update before you try to Root!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] baniels:
I wonder if there is a way to try to increase the resolution of the slow motion video capture. For all three FPS settings the resulting video has a resolution of 800x450.

If it can capture 1/8th speed at 800x450, I'd think it could handle a slightly higher resolution for 1/4, and even more for 1/2 speed.

Any thoughts on where to poke around for this?

Found a trick to get Hidden Menu for Verizon S4 and it works for us as well. I tested and although not all S3 numbers work the hidden menu does work.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42116515#post42116515

Although only *#0*# and *#66336 worked for me. Might be different numbers for us.

##3282# to get MSL works

Not sure if this was accessible without changing the code, as I was looking for something else entirely.

Nevermind. Autoprime has a post about this entirely. No mod to code needed.

Any mod to enable music while recording a video?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] xfullmetal17:
Yes, you want to edit the following in /system/csc/feature.xml

<CscFeature_Camcorder_DoNotPauseMusic>false</CscFeature_Camcorder_DoNotPauseMusic>
to
<CscFeature_Camcorder_DoNotPauseMusic>true</CscFeature_Camcorder_DoNotPauseMusic>

Save and reboot your phone, should keep music playing while you're using camcorder.

I *think* I found the setting to make the stock keyboard autocomplete/autocorrect when hitting space. Need to do a bit of testing first though.

edit: I'm leaning on the setting being in /system/csc/others.xml but I can never get any changes to that file to stick for some reason.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] troyboytn:
There is a thread floating around in the T-Mobile S4 forum that details how to accomplish this but it is said to make the kb very laggy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] xfullmetal17:
Okay, never mind then. Only other thing I'm trying to find is getting rid of those dumb emoticons in the messaging app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] techjunkie860:
Much appreciated, only issue is the music stops when I press the record button. I have to bring bring down the notification bar and start the music.

Is there a way to delay the video recording? I recall being in the camera mode and switching to the video but the video didn't start right away.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] xfullmetal17:
Huh, going by the logic of the file that should work. The one time I post something before testing it myself... =/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] techjunkie860:
No worries, it's just one extra step not a big deal it works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jj14:
From your subsequent posts, I noticed that you weren't able to get it to work.

Just noticed that you were using ES to make the edit - is that right? ES doesn't seem to support editing the system files for the S4. I had Emailed with the developer and he sent me a couple of test versions (that didn't work either). Were you able to get ES to edit system files?

(I ended up using a different app to edit the file, and it worked for me after a reboot - shutter sound option showed up in camera settings menu)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] techjunkie860:
I found that I had to use Rom Toolbox editor. I've used another editor and had a message pop up and say could not edit. Rom Toolbox is a great all in one app too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ~Zach~:
Odd. ES is the only thing I have ever used, and I have no problems editing system files on my S4. (You have to go into the toolbox and manually remount the system directory with write permissions, obviously, but you undoubtedly know that.)

It's been a bit,but thinking about it, I might not have actually used ES to

edit

the file. I've updated the file three times during my rooting/restoring/re-rooting adventures when the S4 first came out. The first time, I used ADB to pull/push the file. Second time, I used ES to copy the edited file from my SD Card to the system directory. (Pulled it with ADB, edited on PC, and then copied back to the phone via Windows Explorer.)

The third time, I am pretty sure I got lazy and less paranoid and just edited it directly from ES, but I could be wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jj14:
Funny thing is that the current version of ES doesn't even let me copy any files to the root folder (or edit any of the files in the root directories.

On my GNexus, I could navigate to FastAccess->Tools->Root Explorer, and it would pop up a message asking me if I wanted to mount as R/W (among other options). But on my S4, that popup doesn’t show up.

I can browse to the root folders, but can't copy any files to there, or edit any files there. I notified the dev, and he sent me a couple of test versions (seems like other S4 users have reported the same issue) - neither worked.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jamaicanluva:
well I use file manager under settings, check show hidden files, then go to root settings (ADVANCED USERS) put a check in the box for root explorer, and mount system folders as writable and you should be all set happy editing...........
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jj14:
I'm jealous! When I try it, Superuser says "ES File Explorer has been granted Superuser permissions" and then, I get a message "Sorry test failed. This feature cannot run on your phone''

Are you on the stock ROM? or custom? (I'm on stock - rooted)

under settings for...? ES file explorer? In the current version, I don't see File manager under settings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] BigDishDaddy:
Under the latest version of es file explorer v3.x it dosen't have r/w mount feature. I've personally switched to fx file explorer, works great,fyi
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cruise350:
Same problem here, I use root explorer now instead.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ernestm:
Application memory

How much application memory available with stock. If I go to storage it show that I have total 9.62gb available, and from that after all apps etc. installed only 0.98 available space. So when I try to do titanium backup I am getting out of space error.

I cannot do back up to external card as it 64Gb and recognized in recovery mode, I can see it when phone up but if I need to restore I cannot access it from recovery menu as looks like it cannot mount 64gb card.

So 2 questions, why only 9Gb available for apps and what max size card can be recognized in recovery mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jj14:
Hmm - current version of TWRP is able to see my 64GB sd card (for backup and restore). Are you using CWM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cruise350:
Format the card to fat 32 and all roms and recoveries will see it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] holdenjr1642:
For Titanium Backup, you need to go prefrences and specify an existing location for your backup folder. First create the Titanium Backup folder on your external card with a file explorer, then select 'detect' via Titanium. Once the backup folder location has been changed, you can delete the backup location on your internal. For TWRP, be sure it says 'micro sd card' on the same screen that you swipe on. If it doesn't, just touch the storage location and you should be able to change it.

To help answer your questions, the Stock rom uses a lot of space. With an MF9 rom, you will be able to move apps to sd. I use the Force rom and the soon to be released V3.0 will be MF9. I also use an app called DiskUsage to visualize files and folders that consume a lot of space.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robogoflow:
How about using airview to take a screen shot. I turned the setting on but when I swipe my hand across it wont capture. I tried multiple times and even tried the demo and it wont work. I tried side of my hand, even waved and jerked my hand in all directions and it wont screenshot. I know power + home does the same but wtf?!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] holdenjr1642:
This is not an Airview feature. The side of your hand needs to actually be touching the screen when you slide it across.

There are 2 toggles that need to be enabled: Palm Motion and Capture Screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eyecon82:
swiping to make a screenshot is a real pain in the rear with the SGS4....i think it has to do with my smaller hands and sgs4 having a larger screen

i found it much easier to do in the SGS3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Shoulon:
I agree, the S3 was much much easier to swipe for screenshots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eyecon82:
it seems that with the MF9 update, it is much easier now, like the SGS3

it was probably an issue with the MDL build
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robogoflow:
Got it first try now thanks.

With all the no touching features they should really state when you need to touch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Glitterloveglamour:
yay omg I am soooo happy!!! thanks for all the mods love them so much!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Inline:
It says "Control your device by touching the screen with you hand" under palm motions for capture screen haha!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] holdenjr1642:
This is exactly why I will never use Stranslate.
