[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Yessir I did thank you. When I first came to this phone, this was the very first thing I did.

Problem was I thought I had it working 100%, but it wasn't, so I had to spend about 10 hours to get it 100% on the s4.

I had asked people not to use it as it's free to use since I posted it on sg3 forums, and new XDA rules state anyone can use it since it's public, as long as credit it given.

I didn't want people using a non-finished product, especially since I've put SO much time into it already between the SG3 and now the SG4..

I did mis-takingly post wrongly though, and it wasn't my intention to post it like that.

I had posted that there was no other way to achieve this MOD.

I meant to say that there is no other blocking mode MOD done and this is the only one (at the time).

Simple confusion, and I hope everyone enjoys this MOD as much as I do!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DraconicSeed:
Totally stoked to see this integrated into other roms. By the way, will this be menu style where you can choose what is blocked and what isn't?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
http://www.twelveskip.com/tutorials...xy-s3-what-is-blocking-mode-and-how-to-use-it

this will help explain what it is, except the only ting is blocking mode isn't in settings menu, u need to use the toggle. no biggie though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] syoungblood95:
Will this work on the OTA?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
links are ready.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
yessir.

if you have a custom recovery..

or you can push the files, if just rooted, *i think*..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DraconicSeed:
I think he may be referring to the ME7 OTA which can't have a custom recov. however if ME7 is rooted I'm not sure if it can be ODIN'd or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Can I flash the phone recording mod over this mod to have both or will they cancel each other out.

Also, when I click blocking mode in the drop down settings force closes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
not but since it is rooted, i *think* they can push files to the phone and set permissions. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Can't wait to try it thanks again, maybe I'm doing something wrong? Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
CRAP!

I need to re-upload the files, forgot to edit the secsettings.apk!

thank you for this

new links up soon!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Lol glad I could help! And I know it's not your mod, but could I flash the call recording app over this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
no, it will break it, I will upload one that has it included. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
You be the man dude! A thousand thanks man. Your hardworking goes much appreciated to all the users here.

On a side note I read the op multiple times hoping I didn't do something wrong lmao!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DraconicSeed:
+1 would like to know the answer to this too because I'm pretty sure most of the roms I want to use will have Call recording integrated into them already.

EDIT: You beat me to it andy lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Read above brother, he's got us! :thumbup::thumbup::beer:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Thanks guys, I will get the call record done tmw, and get the others fixed tonight :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DraconicSeed:
Yea I edited my post after I saw that he beat me to it lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
New links are up guys, please try them and let me know,

you do need to know how to enable the dormant (blocking) mode toggle through feature.xml and sqlite editor, but I think you guys know this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Thanks Andy. Flashed both your mods, excited to get blocking and call recording together soon! Thanks for the work everything is working great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Thank you, Sir for the feedback, time for me to hit the hay, will get the call record MOD out tmw :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] syoungblood95:
Could someone fill me in on how to enable the toggle?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
Pardon my ignorance, what does this block exactly? If it blocks sister-in-law I'm so donating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drewski83:
What's diff between this and the other thread with blocking mode that u posted? Just curious which one is best. On hyperdrive currently.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
They both have different functions. I believe Andy posted a link explaining blocking mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chris000001:
This one makes the phone silent (for example at night.) The other blocks phone calls/texts by number or phrase.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
hey guys also, you can use both Blocking Mode and Call/Message block together. It's how the phone was suppose to come but Verizon removed them prob cus they want u to go to their site to block ppl, so flash em both and see if you like them. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Both work fantastic!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] budgreen24:
This is cool. Will it work on other phones also?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gleggie:
Thanks for this! Just a clarification, this is only for TW ROMs, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Yes as because it modifies tw frameworks and files that aosp doesn't have I believe.

No idea, probably not, but bones might have the answer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Other VZW Samsung Phones, yes.

other phones, prob. but I couldn't do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Yeah definitely broke the blocking mode when I flashed call recording. Haha you were right! Back to waiting, but thanks for the new features.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
I need to edit his secphone, will get to it soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chris000001:
First of all, thanks! This is awesome! I did the sqlite edit and everything works when I long press the blocking toggle to get directly to blocking settings. Is there a feature.xml edit to add blocking mode selection to the regular settings menu? I googled a little and didn't see anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Unfortunately this is the best method (toggle)

adding it to the menu requires doing things that change the device in a way In don't like.

This keep it completely stock as it would have came from Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dscott1081:
I am running the ME7 version of the stock rom and rooted. I applied the zip file in recovery and made the sqlite edit to add the toggle button. When I click on the blocking mode toggle button it enables it but doesn't give me any settings. If I long press the blocking mode toggle I get "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." and don't get the settings screen. Is there something I missed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
When you enable the toggle you'll have an ongoing notification that you can adjust blocking mode settings from.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dscott1081:
I tried tapping on the ongoing notification and get "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Sounds like your missing the SecSetting open the zip and look in it. Did you downloaded after andybones re uploaded it.?

Grab it again and reflash it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Trying to possibly save some time here Andy, but I'm assuming using the wanam app to add call recording will either break blocking mode or mess up my phone?

Not sure how it edits your secphone apk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
as promised, http://d-h.st/qEB

:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Is this 4 mdk or me7?

Workibg on a friends s4 mdk.

No rom just tweaking

Thanks Mr Bones
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
as per OP, it's the ME7 .apk

MDK base sucks, idk why anyone uses it still, :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Didn't realize the op was updated, just seen your post. Dunno but he wants to stay with mdk. I'm using stockbones :)

If it's not to much to ask.

If u could do mdk

Either way that for your time efforts and work

Its much appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Thanks buddy, yea I will.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
YourDaMan thanks sir!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stauf99:
Why does MDK suck? I just got an MDK again (!!!!!!!!!!!!so excited!!!!!!!!!!) and i just don't want to see the string "ME7" on my S4 ever again for emotional reasons.

If anything that alters the 'phone.apk' for blocking mode or 'message.apk' for text/call blocking is flashed over (say Cobalt Theme for instance), would the blocking mods no longer work?

THANK YOU ANDYBONES! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
the MDK BASE sucks...

has nothing to do about root, to make it good, I meant it sucks cos ME7 is so much better :)

if it is VR theme you should be ok.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
try the MDK one, I think it may have call recording.. just add the sound files, otherwise it fc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stauf99:
ok let me rephrase, why is the ME7 base so much better? haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
MANY bug fixes...

run it to find out..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stauf99:
I already have once against my will, I don't plan on doing it at all if all that is fixed is the "purple smear" :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RGardner:
Don't see it in the preceding 5 pages... has anyone without custom recovery been successful in getting these files to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
you're choice bro, this isn't a thread about what base is better.. It doesn't matter to me, it's your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stauf99:
You're right, but this is
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Hey Andy, appreciate the call record, how hard would it be to have the button to record instead of the menu button. And have add call in the menu?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JFazYankees:
Is there any way to remove the blocking mode notification when it's on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
If you didn't have it you couldn't adjust the settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
I have but this was on mdk, also I should say its completely possible to do it all using the modded apks the problem is you have to manually replace your system apks and set permissions. The real risk involved with this is you have to replace SecSettings.apk witha different or modded one . An alternative might be possible for this step though you'd have to ask andybones he knows more about it than me . Replacing SecSettings.apk causes system stability to degrade rapidly until you reboot normally if you cant change permissions before the system reboots you can use twrp but if you dont have twrp then you might have issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JFazYankees:
You can long press the toggle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chris000001:
I'm using Nottach Xposed: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2298596 - it's under "Status Bar". It says it's for AT&T, but most everything works for us too (at least on MDK.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JFazYankees:
Thanks, I'll try this when I get a chance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DraconicSeed:
Will this version also work with ROMs like Scott's latest Hyperdrive (ME7 based now:D) that has fully native call recording?

Just curious.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stauf99:
nope
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
It would need to be coded into Scott's applications that are listed in the OP.

SecPhone.apk, SecContacts.apk, ClockPackage.apk

He or anyone else is free to do this. Kind of the whole point of the thread. :)

For DEVs

not for me to make the .zips for the ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
Appreciated buddy :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stauf99:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] racinwarrior:
how do i enable the toggle
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Sqlite editor will do the trick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
same thing as adding wifi toggle but instead of wifi, it's DormantMode

should be able to find thread on it, on phone or would look.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] racinwarrior:
thanks. didnt know the name of the toggle. working fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stauf99:
don't you also have to change 'enable dormantmode' from 0 to 1?

or am i mistaken?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
No, just add the toggle
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] roboots21:
So I successfully got this mod to work .... the only thing I can't seem to find and figure out is what needs to be added to feature.xml and the settings.db to get the blocking mode toggle. Can you help me out andybones? I really want the toggle and don't want to have the blocking mode constant notification on and be the only access to blocking mode. Thanks!

I should also add that I just got my phone and am on the ME7 firmware. I pushed the files to the system/app dir and it worked just fine, just need to the toggle now :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
there is tutorial somewhere, on phone, sorry

if you can't figure it out let me know, but there's a bunch of threads on this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] roboots21:
Using nottach xposed I disabled the ongoing notification and then I edited settings.db using sqlite and added 'DormantMode' (I think that was it) to the toggle list, and the Blocking Mode toggle is now enabled. I didn't edit feature.xml but it works. Thanks for your response!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
on stock ROM this is the way to go.

on custom ROM, DEVs can include the sqlite3 editor bin into system/xbin and add perms to the updater-script to add into ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] roboots21:
Thanks I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Keep up the good work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't get this to work. I'm on a me7 rom, flashed appropriate zip, installed sqlite editor, went to setting storage, settings database, notification active app panel, added BlockingMode and I'm not getting a toggle. Help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
This is the thread for My blocking mode port

this is not a thread on how to get the toggle

please use search.

I promise the info is there..

I would tell you how but I don't know how and I am not searching for you on my phone, if I was on my cpu I would..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
This isn't going to work on a custom rom, is it :)?

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

Okay, how do I get it to work without the toggle? Sorry, I did Google and found how to add the wifi hot spot and figured this would be the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
yes it will work on any ROM..

it will re-write the .apks I edited...

you started your search..but

search THIS forum

the answer is there..

and the ONLY way is through the toggle.

this is for developers, I only added .zips to be nice to the community. Please find another thread to post these questions, this isn't what I made this thread for.

thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
Thanks.. I skimmed too fast. DormantMode is the edit needed. All set... Thanks for sharing this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Glad you got it working. :good:

and you're very welcome.

:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
First, thanks for this.

I'm using stock rooted MDK and I flashed this, got the toggle with sql lite, etc. I can get it to work, open it, etc, but the issue comes when trying to add contacts to the Allowed contacts section in the blocking mode settings. If I use Favorites for Allowed Contacts it works fine, but if I try Custom and then try to select the custom contacts from the list and click Done it freezes for a bit then I get the message that Settings has stopped. When I go back in, none of the contacts I tried to select aren't saved. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biglil1:
+1, in contacts I add them to favorites. Its a work around but it gets the job done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Works perfectly on mdk and me7. As is all setting custom etc.

I would flash it again you must have a mod installed that's affecting you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
what ROMs are you guys using, this has never been an issue. :confused:

Okay, this is a little funny, I am not pretty sure if it's a clone or not. I purchased it from China (thus the probability of being a clone is very high), also the android version is 4.1.5 (which according to my knowledge, doesn't exist). Further information: Build number: 4.1.5,, Baseband version 1.1204.107.14 and Kernel version 3.0.13, IMEI 353426055055818. Yeah, I think that's sufficient. I tried to root this cell phone, everything was fine, the only problem was that THE CELL PHONE DOESN'T EVEN WANNA GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MODE. Yeah I pressed power + vol down, then just for experimenting, I pressed power + vol up. I learnt that it goes to the recovery mode, but somehow, the bootloader mode doesn't appear.

What could be the reason? Cuz it's cloned/ fake? But even if it's cloned it must be having a bootloader right? :/

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH A SOLUTION. It would also be nice if you can explain why is this happening.

Fingers crossed.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xkrp:
Hey there

I'm using Rootbox 4.1 / Most Recent Dorimanx and I can't seem to find a solution to my tethering problem.

I have tried rootbox stock kernel, flashing siyah kernel, upgrading to rootbox 4.2, using open garden, most of the tether apps out there and bluetooth tethering.

Jtether is the only thing that works for making a wifi network but I need USB tethering specifically for my car system to access a network (Asteroid Mini)...I could also use bluetooth internet but that seems even less likely to have a solid fix.

The problem is my USB tether option is greyed out and it says "'USB not connected" even though I have connected it (on many different devices).

I have poured over every help thread I can find. I have also called my carrier to ensure my tethering options are working correctly.

So far, I have had absolutely 0% success at creating a network that my car system can access.

Any idea how I can get usb tethering back?

Are you using any wallpaper app? If yes then stop that & use some image stored on your phone as your wallpaper. Do this & might see the transparent bar.

If you are using some custom launcher like Nova instead of stock Xperia launcher, you'll have to enable transparent notification & status bar from 'Look & feel' in Nova settings.

Sorry I posted this in the Tmobile section but there is no relevant place to post it on this site. Is their any Stock/factory ROM for the Samsung galaxy s4 metro pcs edition. I understand that the tmobile one is the same but is there any Metro ones. So what happen was i wanted to try and root my device with the tmobile method as everywhere i read says its perfectly safe and wont brick anything. so i tried it i installed clock work fine and booted into the recovery mode for it. I also was able to install the supersu app all went well as i thought. but what keeps happening is that the supersu cant update binaries it keeps saying installation failed. So im scared right now. the phone works fine everything is great nothing wrong but why is it that my supersu app cant install binaries. also a couple questions is if the binaries didnt update is device not rooted. also is my warrinty void cuz everything in the about system is the same? does anyone no where i could have went wrong i follow a youtube video by max lee of galaxys4root. the tmobile version. Will there be a metro stock rom soon? is it safe if i just flash the tmobile stock rom? PLEASE can anyone help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
SuperSU can't update the binaries or it can't install the binaries? You can install the app SuperSU without being rooted all day long, but the binaries can't be installed via SuperSU; so if installing is the problem, that's why. Download a root checker app and make sure you actually have root; if not, you'll have to root again. As far as voiding the warranty, if you flashed a custom recovery (which you said you have TWRP now) then your warranty is void.
