[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] messiah:
yes i know how to deactivate completely but i just want to deactivate the annoying sound ;)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] messiah:
it`s impossible, isn`t it? ;)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Koksie:
Yes, it is impossible. The SMS you receive from the network looks the same as an sms from one of your contacts to your phone. The device cannot distinguish one SMS from another, so you can only choose to switch of the sound for all sms-es. You can also choose to disable delivery notification entirely, but then you will only get a pop-up that the sms is send, not when it is received by the other party, since the network will not send you an sms to notify you of delivery.

However, even when I am writing this, I consider two issues:

1. There is some program floating around that enables blocking certain senders of sms. That means however that the sms will not reach your phone, so this is bascially the same result as with switching sms delivery notification off.

2. BUT! Darek, the creator of DKToday ( search for him on this forum with the term DKToday, or his name dkot) uses the SMS delivery for counting the number of sms send this month. Basically, he could not find a way to extract sent sms info from the system, so instead, he chose to count the returning delivery notification sms from the network as a measure of the no. of sms sent by you. So, in some way, he must be able to distinguish delivery notification sms from normal sms, as sent by your contacts. I recommend you to contact him and ask him how that is done, maybe he can tell you what the distinguishing feature is between normal incoming sms and network sms.

Edit: After re-reading your first post in this thread, I may have given you an answer to a problem you did not have. Do you want to cancel out the sound for the incoming network delivery notification sms, or the sound from the pop-up after sending the sms ( the system sound)? For the delivery sms, see my answer. For the system sound: I have no clue...

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theduke89:
I'm going to unlock the bootloader of my Z, but I need to know which rom in the original android development section has less bugs at all, so I can use it daily with all its main features without problems. Which do you suggest as a best daily driver rom? Pac, Revolt, Carbon, Chameleon, standard CM...please tell me
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
PAC
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5worthington:
Most are built from the same source anyway so they have the same bugs
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theduke89:
I see...but I heard people say they have random reboots during the day also with this last PAC build...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theduke89:
Of course...could you then at least share your preference?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
I've had been using PAC for like two weeks, and haven't had any random reboot.

There are bugs, like the headset not working on a wired connection, but other than that, I can't think of any mayor bug that can make it discard it as my daily driver. And my phone is for work alone, so is not like I can afford to have the phone off randomly without me knowing when half of my job consists in keeping in touch with my people.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theduke89:
I red infact in the known bugs that earphones do not work...but only in calls! Do they work for example playing music?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
Earphones work when playing music. The quality is sub par though.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theduke89:
Sub par also if using speakers?

RE method 1: I use ParanoidAndroid and so Superuser is built into the ROM. How would users like me make the app work?

Sent from ThePureHeart's I9300 Boss Edition
[Android General] fma965:
Doesn't paranoidandroid just use superuser.apk? if so all u need to do is follow the instructions above, "full unroot" will remove all existing superuser.apk's.
[Android General] ThePureHeart:
Nope, it uses Koush's Superuser implementation. It's built into the ROM and doesn't come as a separate app.

I hope there is a way to get it working.

Sent from ThePureHeart's I9300 Boss Edition
[Android General] fma965:
from my research that seems like is just a alternative to superuser and still works as a app, Also have you tried ignoring those steps and just removing the mod and cm lines (if you have them) ?
[Android General] jleafe:
Don't know if I would be comfortable using a custom banking app although it's very tempting!
[Android General] ThePureHeart:
Unfortunately that won't work since Barclays' apps check for root-level apps, superuser access, device id and all sorts.

I'm trying to get it working with XPrivacy, no luck as of yet. I'll keep trying and see what happens.

Hi mate, I haven't customised the app. I wouldn't even know where to start to customise it.

All the updates previous to, and including, 1.3.3 you could get around the root check using various methods. So when the new update came out root users, including myself, updated but found that the methods don't work.

People were asking for the 1.3.3 version because that is the latest one that "works" for root users.

If you check my post history (more specifically threads started by me) you'll see I'm no Dev and very recently bought an s3. I've made numerous backups trying to find the perfect rom for me and in most of those backups was the 1.3.3 apk that people needed.

So I uploaded it to Dropbox and shared it.

I predict you knew most of that info and I don't mean to sound condescending (apologies if I am) just thought I'd try to alleviate any fears over the validity of the app I uploaded.
[Android General] fma965:
Im a recognized contributor surely that means im trustworthy. (i am personally using the APK posted above and it works fine and doesn't do anything suspicious.

1.3.3 doesn't check for like anything except superuser.apk and certain build.prop lines. New versions do though

No problem don't forget to give credit to the people in the link at top :)

Yeah he seems fine, I will upload my own version when i find where i backed it up to :), Just so it is from a RC but im 95% sure its fine, At the end of the day its up to the people to decide if they wanna "risk it".

Thanks gazza for uploading the file though :)

Also if you check permissions and monitor traffic you can see it doesn't do anything different from normal.
[Android General] fma965:
Also is it just me or is this root block by barclays pointless....

I mean you have already entered all your bank details in by the time it tells you have root and refuses to work... How stupid is that? if the phone really is "vulnerable" due to root then uh surely check before entering the details would be good.
[Android General] ThePureHeart:
... you're joking, right?

The only info you enter is your number, sort code/account number and your name. All of which - with the exception of your phone number - is public and not sensitive at all.

Sent from ThePureHeart's I9300 Boss Edition
[Android General] fma965:
yes n no, i know its public (sort off) but it still makes more sense to check root first so hackers dont get even that info.
[Android General] jleafe:
Please don't take that personally and I thank your contributions. I was just saying, with banking apps you could potentially see the alarm bells rining? therefore simply take caution ;)
[Android General] fma965:
Yeah i know what you meant, Like i said if you don't feel confortable then don't do it. But i checked it out and from what i checked didn't see any suspicious ****, pretty sure the app wouldn't be easy to modify as if it was uh we wouldn't need to all the BS in OP :)
[Android General] deanr1977:
Added you a link to my post too, favour returned :thumbup:

As to these talking about security issues ideally 99.9 of people on Xda are good & the downloads "should" be trusted but like any downloads ether roms & apks there is always the chance of corruption? That's why "most" people only say download only from play store or xda.

If the security issue is a big deal do what I did & send barclays a email about why they blocked rooted users? I am still waiting for a reply from them, I also put the comment on there play store comment review LOL

Method 1 working on Domination ROM 20130624. Thanks for this, I preferred having the ROM managing root but a working Barclays was worth the substitution for SuperSU. Two questions:

1. What did the flash file do?

2. Any version of Barclays Pingit working?
[Android General] sferg.410:
PingIT

I would also like to know if this work around also allows PingIT to work?
[Android General] HiddenRambler:
I've added instructions needed to patch the latest version of the app (1.7.1) in my post. It'd be great if someone else could try it and let me know if it works. I've tested it successfully on Cyanogenmod 10.1 and 11.
[Android General] gazza1988:
Any body know how to get it working on 4.3? I either break root to get it working or have root check problem with root.

Way too much gobbledygook in hidden ramblers instructions to follow.
[Android General] HiddenRambler:
Unfortunately the simple answer is you cant without patching the app.

The reason I give the details about how to do it rather than give an apk is because it's not really smart to install a banking app from a stranger (like me) on the internet. Maybe someone who is better known to the community would be willing to release it.
[Android General] blulite127:
the true answer though, is yes .... and without any gobbleygook...

heres what i did

updated to the latest 4.3 android (sammobile) (odin)

reinstalled latest cf autoroot (chainfire) (odin)

installed the latest twrp recovery (twrp) (odin)

installed barclays app (play store)

flashed barclays fix from internal phone storage, using twrp recovery (thanks fma965 :) )

clear davlik cache

reboot

check barclays app, it should now be working.

as it happens, i have the i9505, but i dont see why the same method wont work using another device as long as the above items are available for your device.

its worth a try.

hope this helps, john.
[Android General] fma965:
I would build and release it but i haven't the time, Also the 1.4.X apk i was given only shows 7 digits when verifying your account not 8 and therefore wont activate.
[Android General] blulite127:
no need, ive just installed it on 4.3 on my i9505 without much more than what id need to do to reroot after the update. it would be nice to know if the same method i used on my i9505, works on other models too tho.
[Android General] fma965:
"flashed barclays fix from internal phone storage, using twrp recovery"

Yeah that makes it 1.3.3 i want the latest version, Do you really think i don't know how to do the method you did when i am the OP of this thread?
[Android General] blulite127:
with all due respect sir, i have not once stated that you do not know what you are doing, and neither am i so ignorant that i didnt know you are the OP.

it was to my understanding, that downloading the latest version, and then applying the fix, would result in a fully working latest version. it wasnt untill you mention it now that i realise the fix actually installs version 1.3.3.

i never said you didnt know how to do the method that "worked for me", i was simply stating that thats what i did to make it work on android 4.3.

as far as im concearned, i have 4.3, i have a working bank app and thats find for me. im not fussed on the version im using. and therefore neglected to check which was the latest version and the features thereof.

i thank you for fixing this app, and appologies for overlooking the version info. ive been looking for a fix on and off for a few month now and have only just found this.
[Android General] fma965:
No worries, I may have interpreted that wrong, Also the true answer "without any gobbleygook..." as you stated is modifying the apk like the guy above has done. Thats the real fix, these just move/change/rename files such supersu and superuser and su. Thanks.
[Android General] blulite127:
no worries :)

in truth, i have no idea how to edit apk's as its not something ive looked into, i did at one point start learning to build apps but it lasted all of 4 days and then life took over (as usual) and i just dont have the time.

when it was mentioned about the apk edit, due to my not realising the version was rolled back with the install of the fix i had the notion that id discovered a simpler way, maybe not in the sense that i knew exactly why, but in a sense that, what i did, had worked.

one thing i would like to ask you though, maybe you might know the answer, even though barclays app requires an unrooted device, and please bare in mind ive never seen this happen before.

when i installed it prior to applying your fix, it requested root permission?????? any idea why an app that doesnt require root, would ask for it?

thanks.
[Android General] fma965:
It doesn't require root it simply requests root and obviously if it passes then your rooted, infact even if it fails it stills seems to detect your rooted.
[Android General] HiddenRambler:
Hmm that is strange. I'm pretty sure this worked for me as I used this version to register with. I will try to register using it on another phone to double check. Are using the ATM method or the Pin sentry method to verify? I've used the pin sentry method myself though it should theoretically work for either method.
[Android General] fma965:
Hmm maybe something weird happened, I was using the PIN Sentry method also.
[Android General] HiddenRambler:
It tries to execute 'su' if the error returned is anything but an 'unknown command' it considers the phone rooted. If you deny root it simply gets a 'access denied' error which still means the phone is rooted.

I am thinking of the possibility of using Android DDI to patch the application without modifying the apk. A bit busy at the moment though.
[Android General] fma965:
Yeah thats sorta what i was trying to say, thanks for explaining it better :)
[Android General] HiddenRambler:
I've converted my patch to an xposed module which works with the banking app version 1.7.1 see my post for details.
[Android General] spetrie:
Does not work on my stock Huawei 4.1.2 ROM. As soon as I launch the application it requests root access from SuperSU and then reports my device ad rooted. I was so hopefull thst this would work. Back to V1.3.3 of the app.
[Android General] HiddenRambler:
1) Did you run the app and click 'Install hook library' first?

2) Are you using one of those mods for installing apps to sd card? If so this app will definitely have trouble. Try installing both xposed module and the banking app on normal device storage. It would be great if you could send me a logcat.

3) Seems silly to ask, but just to be safe you are using xposed yes?
[Android General] spetrie:
1. Yes

2. Yes partly link2sd. I will try again with these apps in device internal storage

Xposed installer is a system app, but Barclays app & BarcPosed apk is linked to SD

3. Yes installed, but nothing is a silly question.

I will try again tonight with the apps as user apps in device internal memory.
[Android General] spetrie:
Ok. I looked at logcat and noted it was not finding the.so file under the barclays lib folder in data/data. Found the location of the file in data/data/

com.example.barcposed moved copy to data/data/ com.barclays.android.barclaysmobilebanking/lib and now Gets past initial check for root. Issue now is on activation screen. Every time I submit my details, it fails to submit, it just returns to the screen to confirm my details. Have gone back to V1.3.3 working fine again.
[Android General] HiddenRambler:
Would be great if you could send me a logcat. Another thing you can try is to upgrade your v1.3.3 insallation which would mean you keep your activation.
[Android General] fma965:
You did enable the module in xposed and then reboot right?

Sent from my LG-D802
[Android General] spetrie:
Yes, that is how I managed to get past the initial root check. Will try to upgrade now I have registered with V1.3.3 and see what happens. If it fails I will get a logcat dump.
[Android General] Xave1:
I've now unlocked the bootloader on my Nexus 5 and this has no affect on Barclays Mobile Banking :)
[Android General] spetrie:
Success it is now working with V1.7.1:) Had to register with V1.3.3 and once I received the text and logged into the app with old version, then I updated to V1.7.1 and it worked. Had to move the libbarcxposedhook.so to the correct folder (see earlier post) before it worked. Thanks for all your work on the exposed module.
[Android General] HiddenRambler:
Glad to hear it. But I'm curious why it didn't register for you. My feeling is that there are some extra checks which are failing due to your use of apps2sd.
[Android General] spetrie:
I had all the apps in internal storage. Link2sd was disabled for these apps. Not sure why Installing lib does not populate in the Barclays lib folder. I have to manually copy over.
[Android General] HiddenRambler:
Standard android uses /data/app-lib/<APP_NAME> to keep the lib files which appears to be different from what you mentioned earlier. my feeling is link2sd changes folder paths used in some way. I try to get the path from standard android api, but in your case that doesn't seem to work.
[Android General] spetrie:
Thanks, that would explain it. Will have google it later. I now have a working solution thanks to all your hardwork. :)

Also getting this error, I'm on 1.7.1, but don't automatically assume they blocked old versions, servers could have changed code slightly and made previous versions fail, of course they could have blocked us or it could be down for maintenance. But yes also having the same issue with mine

Problem on miui device

I use xiaomi mi2s with miui v5. Since a few days ago I have been using old version of barclays app which didn't check for root. Now even my wife need to upgrade app, even she has unrooted s3, to the latest ver.

I tried WSM tools (exposed library) and rootcloak to hide root, not working with barclays im my case. Even tried to full wipe.

I don't have CWM on my phone, is there any way to use ur method without CWM? Is this method (any of them) work with latest barclays mobile app ?

I've just been trying this and realised Barclays won't let you use the app unless it's updated to the new version. I'd love to know if anyone finds another fix for it! (Someone correct me if I've missed something and there is a current work-around that I missed!)
[Android General] fma965:
OP updated, all known current methods patched.
[Android General] Ben-B:
Thanks. I tried a load of methods yesterday ... even removed root, but Barclays still says I have root and won't let it run! (Odd when Everything else agrees the phone doesn't have root access.

I guess there's something about the custom rom I'm using ('Vanir' 4.4.2 on an LG 4x HD)

Once I remove root, is there any way I can manually change whatever it is the app is looking for when it decides I'm still rooted?

I used to use Barclays app daily, on a slow and laggy phone. Now I've found an amazing fast smooth rom (Not to mention kitkat) and everything I could ever want works great, except the barclays banking app!
