Question about subscription apps

I have a questions about apps that offer in app purchases. I am very new to this world and have a good business idea, but I just need a little direction. My questions is; How do apps work that charge directly to your phone bill? I want to make an app that charges a phone bill a monthly subscription. How do I set an app up to do this? Let me know thanks!

I rooted my phone with stump root but i decided i didnt really need root access. I want to unroot to recieve OTA updates. I unrooted with SuperUser with the "full unroot" option. I installed a root checker to make sure and it said i didnt have root access. I tried to install the update but it told me that my device was suspected in rooting. I then ttried the method with ES File Explorer but i wasnt able to use root explorer and it wouldnt allow me to delete the busybox file. I dont have access to a PC, only mac, so i cant use LG PC Suite. If anyone knows of a thread pertaining to this specific issue, the help would greatly appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
I don't know a lot about this, but I have disabled some of those services.

If another app requires it to work though, and you disable it, the other app will have issues as you have found.

Just a suggestion, see if you can disable the service in the second app first, then it won't try to use Google, then you can disable it there.

Seems logical, but I can't say for sure it will work. The second app may still not like you turning that off, and malfunction.

I downgraded from 4.4.2! but no sound.

Hey everyone and thanks for making this thread. I just moved and don't have wife and already used up all of my fast data. I'm sorry that I couldn't do extensive research.

If you'd like to help that'd be great! Or point me in the right direction.

I am using an s4 active i537 running.

It was running 4.4.2

I used stock ap, csc, and ap files in odin. They were 4.4.2

I used w0lfdroids i537_root_ker_w0lfdroid.tar.md5 in combination with the stock files.

Using odin to replace the BL bricked my phone but with all of the files I mentioned used all at once I had more luck.

Phone started up. To my surprise it said it's running 4.3! Whoops I accidentally did what I was trying to do!

Next I towel rooted my phone verified root, used SuperSU and disabled knox. Phone acts very unstable when trying to make a call. Call reaches other line but I can't talk. Very glitchy. I also have no sound.

I know I'm supposed to flash some files after I downgrade to 4.3 and root. But I don't know exactly which ones or where to find them :s

Also I want to learn more about safe strap and loading custom rooms and where or how to find the ones for my model. And how to use them.

I'd be happy with a fistful of links... thanks for reading

An app that charged to the phone bill would mean that you'd have to have an agreement (contract) with the provider(s). It'd be far easier to do it through the Play Store (and equivalent stores from other platforms).

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Did you have Xposed? It tweaks your system, and for OTAs, your system partition needs to be unmodified.

If you were/are an Xposed user, you need to uninstall the mods. Uninstall them with the option in Xposed. Other methods may leave remnants. Then uninstall Xposed itself.

Yea I did a Nandroid backup before renaming the file, either Velvet is the wrong folder, or I'm not sure. Just got the "Google search has stopped working" message that would not go away, stays on top of the screen no matter what. Also...the Google search bar was the only thing that didn't get removed lol...maybe Velvet is just the google search service not the actual search bar. Hopefully somebody figures this out bec I can't stress how much I hate the Google Search bar on my home screen.

Well, if all else fails, you can grab the .apk, delve into it using an archiver, and use a good image editing program to make the entire search bar transparent, making it render invisibly on your screen.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but since you are on stock, most of the system apps, including bloatware, are read only and are write protected.

You need to change the permissions to delete them, or use titanium to freeze them (I've never freezed with TiBu, so I'm only assuming it will work).

Search in the forum for your device for a mod to disable system write protection. If you were using an M8, I could hook you up with a link I got earlier today, but honestly, I don't even know what device you have. On most phone models; especially older ones; root is enough to uninstall system apps, but that seems to be changing.

EDIT:After seeing [MENTION=5981373]thenookieforlife3[/MENTION]'s edit to his post, I see you have the Nexus 6. You could try [MENTION=3110798]WugFresh[/MENTION]'s Nexus Root Toolkit. to change permissions. There is no guarantees here. Just a suggestion. Trying to help.

[General Questions and Answers] tetakpatak:
I really doubt your bootloop has anything to do with the root. PhilZ recovery will reliably root (install SuperSU) any supported device under menu "PhilZ settings".

To find out which PhilZ version fixes the severe CWM bug with root on exit (that I mentioned in my last post), check full changelog

I would not use that tool (I dislike tools in general) and use ADB instead. You will get out of bootloop if you ADB sideload your ROM and Gapps, so re-install them.

As an utterly important step before installing, you should wipe following:

If you install the same ROM as presently used (in bootloop) wipe: system, cache and dalvik cache, then sideload ROM.zip and after that Gapps.zip

If you want to install completely new ROM, choose option "clean to install new ROM" this step will wipe also all your data.

[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
Save the backup you made top your sd card. If something bad happens, go into recovery and hit restore instead of backup and choose the backup file you made.
[General Questions and Answers] jam884:
Thanx friend.. But selection of the back file should be from the in built system or from the flashify app..?
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
You don't use flashify to do backups or recovery. You use cwm or twrp recovery.

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Dude. Sorry to tell you this, but if your phone will not boot up at all, you are definitely hard bricked. You'll have to send it in for repairs.

Maybe if you tell us how you got your phone into this state, we can offer some help. Did you try to flash a kernel that wasn't made specifically for device? A ROM not made for your device perhaps? Yeah, don't do that.

Provide at least some details if you actually want someone to help you. Saying "my phone is bricked please help" does not give us anything to work with at all.
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
Don't use flashify but I have to assume that if you can backup with it there must be a way to restore with it. Hopefully someone else can chime in

[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
Install the correct, updated drivers for your device on your computer. Also, does m8 offer usb selections when connected? If so you may need to switch to charge only mode. I'm not very familiar with the m8. I think [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] knows more about that device, but I wanted to throw a couple starting suggestions.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
For TWRP do this:

From your PC in fastboot, push it to your device with the command: fastboot flash recovery "recoveryfilename".img ~ No quotes, but the name of the file.

Or, rename it to "twrp.img" (again no quotes) and place it onto the root of your extSD. Then launch terminal emulator , and type the following:

su (click enter)

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 (click enter)

Then reboot.

After that, you can install ViperOne ROM. It is a rooted ROM and will install superuser. But the pre-installed superuser isn't as good as SuperSU, so after the flash, download that from the playstore, and install it.

Or, you could just install SuperSU from the playstore and install the binaries directly, I believe, though I have never tried to just install SU directly for root myself.

EDIT: I forgot, you are on a Mac. I'm not sure if the commands are the same or not that way. As you know, I'm very unfamiliar with Apple products. Use terminal emulator.

OR, download TWRP Manager from the playstore and install the recovery that way.

Use the slide out menu three line thingy > Install TWRP > Pick you device name (M8) > recovery to install (pick 2.8.0.3, 2.8.1.0 is a little buggy) > install recovery.

That's probably the easiest way.
[General Questions and Answers] TheFoundingFather:
That's what it looks like i'm going to have to do because of how the OTA updates work now, as in they treat the entire script as 1 portion instead of patching the code. Is it possible to flash with mac? As aforementioned i don't have access to a PC.

In this there is written we can do nandroid backup and restore it with flashify..
[General Questions and Answers] mayank9856:
Buddy please quote the posts so we can get to know the problem..

Anyways,I guess you are not able to boot back into the phone from recovery. Why do you need to use that app ? Custom recovery are made for this reason. Something might have gone wrong with the script of the app and so the condition. Try to use the reboot option from the recovery or restore a nanndroid backup. The app might have created a backup in some folder on your phone. Serch in each and every folder if you can find one.

Hope that helps
