Make sure you use the 'Pre-MEA_AOSP_MMS_CPA-Poke-v2.zip'. Reboot phone and go to system/app with root explorer and rename KeyguardWidget.apk to KeyguardWidget.apk.bak. Done.

Everything, including both sms/mms works perfectly. You can even theme the conversation list and messages with custom background and different test color. I included screenshot to show you what I meant. =)

Did you have to install busy box first?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tisaznpimp:
Yes, the reason it wasnt working was busybox was not installed.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
well it worked but my MMS wont send... it just crashes... What did I do wrong? I flashed the zip you told me... renamed that apk anything else? Do i need to renamed the odex file aswell
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tisaznpimp:
I'm not sure what's wrong, I didn't rename the odex files. Mines can send picture messages and mms just fine. Let me get back to you on it.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
Please do... I reflashed it and still get a crash on send.... Other than that I love it
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] thatbigmoose:
This is a long shot but did you maybe change settings for MMS in that xposed framework mod?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
Nope it is stock all around...
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tisaznpimp:
I redid it on my brother's phone with same procedure and no crash either...Maybe try clearing cache or data.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
Hmm I have tried that. What busy box app did you use? I really can't figure this out. I have tired restoring stock and reflashed.... Idm

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tisaznpimp:
I used the busybox installer by JRummy apps.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
It looks like that runs an older version of busy box 1.20.2 mine was 1.21.0 I tried downgrading but still have the same issue. I can't uninstall busybox because it says it is not safe so I can't use his apps.

Honestly I have no idea what I am doing wrong... I follow the exact same steps as you and mine crashes every time. The screen goes black and it says that the application has stopped. I would like it if some other people could try it as well. It would help troubleshoot the issue... You can always flash the restore app and all you will lose is your current messages which can be backed up with super backup. Maybe there are conflicting applications? I am running Xposed framework with Nattach's app and greenify.. Do you have these? I will disable just to try

EDIT: after disabling the issue remains
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tisaznpimp:
Did you install that dark dailer on front page? I notice you had to replace the mms.apk for a different one and remove odex file, maybe restore the stock mms.apk+odex file and run that pre-mea.zip again.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
You may be on to something. Can someone send me their mms.apk file and Secmms.apk my back ups dont seem to work

I completely forgot about changing that mms
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tisaznpimp:
Here's my backup. Replace it in system/app and fix permission. I could not upload it on xda because it would not let me, so I uploaded on dropbox instead. extract with winrar/winzip/7zip

I may be totally noobing this but I cant get anything to flash, tried acid, tried the wipe app but for some reason nothing is working for me. Followed instructions to the T. Have root, busy box, SU.

UPDATE: Turns out the one by Jrummy needs to be custom installed with the applets mentioned on the flashgordon original post.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] erikboudet:

Disregard... my zips were stripped and that is why it didn't work
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rockman195:
Would flash gordon also work with a normal non active s4
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
Yes, but let me be clear, if you S4 is preMF3 it would be easier to use TWRP or cwm. If you are on MF3 you don't have ODIN so if you screw something up you won't be able to fix your phone. Beware of the dangers
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rockman195:
I appreciate the advice and unfortunately im post mf3. Im aware of the risks and have been pretty cautious since rooting post mf3.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
Sucks that Samsung blocked ODIN but that is understandable from a security stand point. Just be very careful what you flash and back up apks. Remember not to flash roms or important system apks as they may crash during the flash
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rockman195:
Thanks and yeah, i understand why they did it, i just dont like it lol. Im reading through everything in the thread for flash gordon and had just a few questions about the to do list in the first post.

1. I dont see anywhere where i can do this "Using a private version of busybox to remove having busybox installed/installing new applets as a requirement for the user" im using the Jrummy version if that matters

2.it recommends a nandroid backup, but i thought you couldnt do that without a custom recovery

3.Translating ui_print(); to echo in bash and make the "Flashing" ProgressDialog's message display the content of those ui_print();

Im just not sure how to perform that last one. I appreciate any help. Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
The back up is something they recommend to do if you have that luxury. This is what I do when I try to flash things, so far I have had 100% success, no bricks:

0. Make a back up of the apks and odex of what the flash will modify

1. Make sure you have busy box installed (the version you have should be fine)

2. Install the flash gordon APK and download the the zip you want to flash

3. If the zip has a long file name or any spaces please remove the spaces and shorten

4. Start up Flash Gordon and select the zip

5. Click flash and when it prompts you to reboot click it. If it crashes you might have to pull the battery or wait

If you get the message that the zip is not flashable it is either:

1. File name

2. Corrupt file (redownload with the PC and transfer)

3. Busy Box is not working properly so uninstall and reinstall

Let us know if you have any issues.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rockman195:
Just about every zip I try and flash says invalid. The only one that worked so far was to remove att bloatware. All the rest (boot animation, lock screen action and aid audio) failed. What would cause this. The files were all confirmed working by others, and since I'm at least getting something to work (bloatware removal) I didn't think it was busy box. Any thoughts
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
If there is a space in the name, if the name is too long, if there is an issue with busy box, or if the download of the file is corrupt it will do that.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rockman195:
No spaces and file names seem short enough (ie- bootanimation.zip). I double checked busy box and everything seems as it should be, but maybe ill dl a different busy box and try
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah, every once in a while I had to play around with it. Have you tried downloading on the PC and transferring. I spent a long time trying to figure out why mine wasn't working and it turned out that it wasn't fully downloading.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rockman195:
Hmm ill try that next. I uninstalled busy box and installed the first one that shows up in the play store. The only difference was that this version of busy box did all the needed applets out of the gate (unzip, cp, sed, etc) and the other busy box needed me to manually select them which i did. Trying again and im not getting the invalid code, its just been saying extracting for awhile
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
You should be good then. That means it is valid
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rockman195:
Thought so, how long should it normally extract for
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] thatbigmoose:
Haha that's like a "note-to-self" that the developer made. You don't need to do any of those except #2. For 2, the closest thing is just a backup of your apps with titanium backup.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
depends on the size of the zip. Small zips only take a short amount of time. Large ones take longer
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rockman195:
no dice, No longer having a problem with invalid files, but it says "flashing" then says it needs rebooted and nothing has actually been changed upon reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
I wonder how it works with zips that uses aroma installers, I wonder if that is your issue
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rockman195:
Hmmm. Do you have a link to any zip files that you feel might work just do we can see what it does?

hope this helps

Anyone getting the file is not a flashable zip file as I was try this. What I did was on the install page of busy box (jrummyapp) there is a box you can check for advanced install. Check that box and hit install it will bring u to another page. When you get to that page hit install again. It will install again. Not exactly sure what it does so if im wrong someone correct me but now I am able to flash zips using flash gordon.

Can the NH3 modem.zip be flashed with this?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Devo7v:
It depends on where you got it. Odds are it contains modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin inside it which have to be flashed with Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] macasus76:
Lol yeah odin failed for some reason and I got the zip from you ;)

I have my phone rooted and dont want to update the whole firmware. Im on NE3 now and just wanted the radio stability improvements of the new modem. Thanks for the quick reply. I really think I may sell this s4 active and buy the international version.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Devo7v:
Is there a reason you don't want to update the firmware? The update won't erase anything and you can update through SafeStrap so that you retain root.

I also considered selling my i537 and buying an i9295, however I didn't have to consider it long since I shattered my screen and just bought the i9295 anyways. I still have the i537 to tinker with, but it doesn't get much use anymore.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] macasus76:
I dont have safestrap installed. I was concerned about using up more space on the internal sd card than I have. I keep alot of music on here.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Devo7v:
SafeStrap is probably less than a MB, I wouldn't worry too much about the space. You don't have to create ROM slots to use SafeStrap, you can just use it to flash stuff, like updates to your stock ROM for example.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] macasus76:

Good lord no, not on the SGH-I537, this thread is hopelessly out of date. If you're already rooted on lollipop, check out FlashFire

If you're not rooted yet, you're going to have to use Odin to restore back to the NE3 build of KitKat (this will wipe everything saved on your phone), root that with towelroot, then update using the KeepRoot method. Then you can use FlashFire to flash recovery zips.

Hey guys,

Recently I've tried to port CWM to my device following this tutorial and it bricked...

It did not boot in any mode (Recovery, Fastboot or Normal) after doing this (stuck on motorola logo/boot menu).

[MENTION=2836423]diego-ch[/MENTION] helped me and he managed to flash the XT920_2_290_2014 back on my device and unbrick it, but I want to install XT920_2_310_2014 back.

There are some Stock ROMs available on the internet, but these ROMs are outdated compared to my original ROM...

The ROMs available are: XT920_2_290_2014_A01_MP (Tim Brazil) and XT920_2_290_2009_A01_MP (Retail), and my original ROM was XT920_2_310_2014_A01_MP.

The backup script in this tutorial created a few files files: recovery.img, system.img, boot.img...

What I want to know is...

Is there any way to "reflash" these backups to my device?

Here is a printscreen from my original ROM:

Hey all,

I was wondering if any AOSP roms out there support audio over USB. I know touchwiz does this but if I can help it I want to stay with an AOSP rom. Right now I'm using PA 3.6. Even an app that does this would be awesome. Basically, I'm making a dock that puts the phone into dock mode and pushes audio out to a set of speakers. Any help would be great.

Thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] murriano:
Thanks CNexus, but unfortunately that's not what I'm looking for. In Touchwiz there is an option in the "accessories" section to enable audio out over USB when the device is in dock mode. That way my alarm plays to a speaker that I build into the stand, or something like that. I think the only way to get is to go back to a Touchwiz rom unfortunately.

Ah sorry, I've never used that function but that app looked the best when I did a quick search on the play store

I dont think this can be resolved at the time, so its not really my question. (but if there is a fix, please say so :) )

My real question is this:

Is there any way to use this headset to listen music on?

So that if i play an MP3 the music comes out of the earpiece of the BT headset and not out of the PPC Speaker?

same problem here

Is there anyone out there who uses their mda in combination with bluetooth without problems like sudden disconnects or crackling soundz?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Rick76:
To: Sabofx

I am using a Plantronics M2500 headset with my PDA2K and it is not bad. I previously used the Jabra BT250 but there was so much static that I stopped using it.

With the M2500 I sometimes get a little static at the beginning of a call (but no where near as loud as the Jabra) but it generally goes away in a couple of seconds as long as I have 2 to 3 bars of signal strength reception.

I normally carry my PDA2K on my right side and wear the headset on the same side. Then when I get in my truck, the PDA2K is placed in the mount on my dashboard about 1 meter from the headset.

One thing I have noticed though, if I am talking on the phone via the headset and I am holding the PDA2K in my hand and moving it around at arms length the static tends to come back. If I place the PDA2K on my desk or in the car mount so it is stationary, the static goes away.

Also, in observation, there is no way I get more than 3-5 meters of distance before loosing the bluetooth signal. For example, I can keep a connection while I am putting gas in my truck but as soon as I walk about 5 meters away from my truck, I lose the connection. Also, ocassionaly I have lost the connection with my PDA2K on my belt (right side) if I have on a heavy winter coat. This only happens ocassionaly though.

Hope this helps.

AOSP Lockscreen for Sony Xperia Z

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This mod requires ROOT access!

If you like the swipe lockscreen, but would prefer the stock AOSP lockscreen over the Xperia Z "blinds" lockscreen, you can easily get it. For some, swiping up-down is difficult, some simply prefer the look. As a bonus, the annoying "swipe to unlock" text will be gone! Unfortunately if using AOSP lockscreen you won't be able to select a different wallpaper from settings, it will simply be matched with homescreen wallpaper.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Instructions to get AOSP Lockscreen:

Open any file explorer with root access

Navigate to "/system/app"

Rename "XperiaLockScreen

.apk

" to "XperiaLockScreen

.bak

"

Reboot & done

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Revert back to Xperia Lockscreen:

Open any file explorer with root access

Navigate to "/system/app"

Rename previously changed "XperiaLockScreen

.bak

" to original "XperiaLockScreen
