Let us all know if you also get the FC, and a working tether. :)
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Bradart:
I already got it working by using the apk from the OP and following the steps for the Verizon DE version. Basically put it in system app, run it, move it to priv-app, run it again. It force closes once at a random time during tethering but it functions flawlessly.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] wmarcin:
I suppose this short summary is much better than wading through a couple of pages of trial and error and success. :)
[Moto X Themes and Apps] dobbs3x:
Did this, it worked. Rebooted and now it just FCs and tether doesn't start.

Don't see files

I don't see the files listed in steps 7 and 8 when i navigate to the system/apps folder. Is that possible?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] dobbs3x:
Those files are in the priv-app Dir
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Bradart:
The same thing happened to me yesterday so I just re-did the procedure and it worked again. Me, thinking that's a major pain in the ass, just kind of dealt with it. Then, in a stroke of boredom, it happened to me again today and I simply moved the entitlement apk to /system/app and it functions perfectly. Time will tell if this is viable long-term.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] sherardp:
Same thing too

Got the same issue for the ATT one as well. Worked till you reboot and everything gets reset back to the default files. Interesting how that works though as if you delete or rename those files. Somehow they get back on there. Must be loaded from somewhere else. Not sure where but if we could find that piece it might help.

bandaid would be to run a script right on the phone that does the file switcheroo then enable tether. Is that possible? Not sure how to do that either just from the phone.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] ks73417:
Just make sure you do all of the steps in OP by booting into Recovery. I have non-DE VZW on 4.2.2, have no problem at all.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] FSXv13:
I did these steps, but not exactly.

I used ES root explorer.

In the system (not recovery) I did the following:

1: downloaded the correct APK.

2: Went into priv-apps

3: renamed vzwentitelements.apk and .odex to .bak

4: Put the new/downloaded VZWEntitlements into the priv-app and changed permissions to match (rw- r-- r--)

5: Put the new/downloaded VZWEntitlements into the app folder and gave it the same permissions.

Rebooted.

Keeps crashing saying Entitlements has stopped working.

EDIT: Also did this through recovery/TWRP. It's not working no matter how I do it. I'm on a VZW Dev Ed. I even made the owner root.

Ideas?

DOUBLE EDIT: Leaving the .odex in there without renaming it or deleting it makes this work fine...
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Smitelight:
Could somebody share the original SprintEntitlement.apk and odex files from Sprint 4.4? I'm a nonbackingup dumbass.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] jayzun:
Anyone been able to get this to work on Sprint 4.4? I installed and placed SprintEntitlement.apk in system app and app-priv and haven't been able to get it to work. It worked perfectly in 4.2. I've tried everything I can think of but always get "Unable to connect to data network; turning off tethering or hotspot. You may not be subscribed the Tethering or Hotspot service; please contact your phone company".
[Moto X Themes and Apps] 640k:
these are the basic steps I followed.

variation:

1. copied out the vzwentitlements.apk and .odex to the sdcard (made a backup).

2. copied the modified vzwentitlements.apk directly on top of the original .apk in the priv-apps folder (replaced original file).

3. changed permissions to RW-R-R (same as stock app).

4. copied the modified .apk from the priv-app folder to the app folder and rebooted.

i just tested it and it's the first time i've got 4.4 to work with tethering! i'm so happy!!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] abiezer:
Any luck modifying the sprint one for kit Kat?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] crazyxzer0:
Did anyone succeed with this?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] FSXv13:
Mine stopped working but I am going on vacation in two months so I figured I should get it working again.

I tried your technique and it didn't work. Entitlements crashes on me!

What am I doing wrong?

1: I go into sys/priv-app : Rename the odex and the apk.

2: I then go download the modified apk.

3: I moved that into Priv-app

4: changed permissions on modified apk in priv app

5: copied modified apk from priv-app into app, double checked permissions, rebooted.

6: Entitlements crashes.

I'm doing this all through ES Explorer with root
[Moto X Themes and Apps] 640k:
i didn't rename the original files. maybe that's the trick?? i simply copied the new ones on top of the old ones. also, leave .odex in the priv-app folder alone. DON'T copy it to the app folder.

screenshots. note the dates:
[Moto X Themes and Apps] gmmurphy:
I have tried this step by step all night No success. I took note your new apk seems to be a bigger file mine is 97.67 KB yours is 98.94 KB. I got mine in the op. Is there another file I'm pulling my hair out. Stock vz rooted motox. Also is there a different odex ? I only saw the apk.

Have you tried the xposed module for Kitkat? works flawlessly, I just updated to 4.4 and rooted using SlapMyMoto.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Fullcircle:
I had no problem getting the tether to appear functional, but when I tether a laptop websites won't resolve (windows, osx, linux, different computers). Anyone else have this issue, or know of a fix?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] ConstantHero:
Try setting hotspot frequency band to 2.4 GHz that fixed my problem.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] Melarsa:
I don't know if this is too late and you've already figured it out since you posted this a month ago, but the file found in this thread has the slightly larger file size and works perfectly on KitKat 4.4. I was having the same issue you were having until I found that thread and tried that version of the VZWEntitlementService.apk. It looks like something changed between the latest software update, but that version of the .apk works for me on 4.4 whereas the earlier version with the smaller file size posted in this thread never did.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] snot:
Thanks!!! That helped me out. I did this back in December when I was on 4.4 and it worked great. I just returned my VZW DE Moto X back to stock to update to 4.4.2 and this worked with the other vzwentitlementservice.apk file.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] 640k:
does anyone know if the entitlements file was changed in 4.4.2? i don't want to have to install xposed framework, i like this hack just fine. i'm getting entitlement errors now and can't get it to run.

EDIT: Never mind. I just saw Melarsa's post. This worked like a charm. OP needs to update first post.

Did anyone back up their original 4.4.2 vzwentitlement.apk that I could download? I forgot to.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] ivorycruncher:
Just FYI, this method still works on Verizon Moto X after 4.4.4 OTA, with one minor path alteration. The VZWEntitlementService.apk files are now located under /system/priv-app instead of /system/app. Other than the path change, all other instructions remain the same.

Just download the 4.4.2 factory image and extract the files from there.

You have to downgrade your rom that has this possibility. Place all your needed widget's on your favourite launcher. Then make a data nandroid backup. Upgrade your rom, reboot and then go back to your recovery and restore data partition. It worked for me!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] patt2k:
I just got S4 2 days ago I sitll have 12 days to exchange it for a new one not refurb.

I had iphone 5 before gave it to my mom and I live in NYC today when I was coming back from Queens to Brooklyn I would be stuck with 1 bar in a lot of places where before I had 2-3

call quality and everything is perfect however I can see that I don't get the same service as I did before.

I don't know if it helps much I did few sreenshots. On these 2 I don't 1 bar but with bar I think it's somewhere around -111 something very close to that I don't remember exact numbers.

How can I test better? someone help me please , like maybe some sort of app to test it out in various places?

CDMA field test or Advanced Signal Status are great apps for checking your signal strength.

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

You could also toggle it in and out of airplane mode when your in an area where you think the signal should be stronger. See if it comes up.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keeepinitgansta:
The signal strength you are seeing is related to the LTE tower you are currently connected to. Use an app called "signal check lite", download it from the app store, it will show you your actual CDMA signal strength.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
Advanced signal status is another good one to check as well. But your are right, -111 is about 1 bar. -120 is about as bad as it can get before dropping to nothing. -60ish is perfect but you will rarely see that on a Samsung device unless you actually climb the tower. Best I usually see on my s4, is mid 90s which is awful in my book compared to the mid 80s I get in the same location on my htc rezound. So you aren't alone out here. If there is another phone you like, I would get it. Wish I could still dump mine. I miss constant AND FAAAAST 4g on my Rez. :banghead:

[Moto X General] conspiracymorpheus:
Greetings All,

I purchased a carrier unlocked version of the Moto X from a retailer on ebay. Here's the item number:290976476988 (I would provide the link, but I am not allowed to since I'm a new user). It had a pretty significant markdown from what Motorola is selling them for, so I decided to take a shot in the dark hoping it will work with my carrier, T-mobile, which I'm pretty confident it will. I should be receiving mine at the top of next week, so I'll check back with my results once I get everything squared away.

In the mean time, can anybody confirm if there is one universal carrier unlocked version that will work with T-mobiles bands? Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
[Moto X General] Turb0wned:
It will but is missing the AWS 1700 HSPA frequency. If you go to or live in an area that is not refarmed you will be stuck on EDGE.
[Moto X General] conspiracymorpheus:
Oooof. Not what I wanted to hear. You 100% on this?
[Moto X General] Turb0wned:
Yes I am. Its the reason I sucked it up and just ordered the crappy 16GB Tmobile one.. Exclusives suck.
[Moto X General] conspiracymorpheus:
Well I think I may have lucked up, as I did a couple of quick searches and it looks like I'm in an area with 1900 MHz HSPA coverage. Does 1900 MHz constitute "refarmed" HSPA?
[Moto X General] Turb0wned:
Yes but what I try telling people on here just like I did with the HTC One (and later if you look on those forums many people started getting rid of their developer edition for a tmobile one) is that just because your area is refarmed doesn't mean every inch of it is. I would had to drive to the mall and realize i'm only on EDGE after spending $500+ on a phone. If you area has LTE that will help though. Also if you ever travel anywhere you run into the chance of not having 3G.
[Moto X General] conspiracymorpheus:
No doubt, and I appreciate the concern as well as the explanation. I live about 10 minutes away from the Loop in Chicago, and I had my Nexus 4 working off of the LTE hack for quite some time until I upgraded to 4.3. I had LTE coverage about 90% of the time, but when I travel to see my Ma in the suburbs I remained on HSPA+ (not sure if its refarmed out that way).

We'll see how I do for the first week. If anything I'll just return this one and just get the T-mobile variant. Hopefully T-mobile continues to expand their LTE coverage in the surrounding areas around the prime metro areas. I've kinda accepted that I won't have mobile data in the boonies, but hopefully T-mobile fixes that soon as well.

It's also similar to Browser2RAM. I just wanted to post this because the UC browser is extremely fast on the Prime and it works extremely well. I would even venture to say that it is faster than using the Browser2RAM and the Cache2SD mods, plus you don't lose your SD slot and it still works even if you remove the card.

I'm on the Android 4.3 based Paranoid Android and this feels like a completely different tablet compared to stock. Everything is fast and I think TRIM support has fixed the I/O bottleneck with this tablet. There is no more need for Data2SD or the other SD card mods IMO.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
This is not dev related mate. This belongs in themes and apps. ;)

I also disagree with your trim theory replacing data2sd even tho i don't use data2sd myself anymore.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] arrowthefirst:
...

Exactly! any browser just looks like a crap in conparison with UC!

But I noticed,that if I free 450+mb of ram on my 4.4 CM11, the tablet starts to work as it should, while multitasking makes it really slow, much slower than 100$ chinese smartphone

I am not so frequent ROM switcher but whenever I do it's little pain and frustrating because I am newbie. I used so far Mybackup Pro and Titanium Backup Pro to backup and restore apps and data.

But I wonder if there is clean and easy way of doing it? I mean recently I tried GE4.3 ROM from stock and when I was restoring apps it was failing with mybackup pro (no apps restored whatsoever) and with titanium backup pro multiple apps failed after restoring.

Also if there is anyway one can restore all accounts (gmail, yahoo, skype etc) rather than manually entering every time you switch a ROM.

Help/inputs are appreciated!!

Here's a trick. After you've flashed a rom and it's booted up, boot back into your recovery and restore just the data portion of your most recent nandriod. It'll bring back all your apps and settings. Works almost all the time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] raone26:
You mean in TWRP just select Data and deselect all other (Boot, system, Cache.. etc?)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Stock rom is touchwiz, the rum you flashed isn't. That's why it isn't working. If you restore from titanium, don't restore system data, just restore apps.

If I find the number I'll post it up here. As they sent me four screws I could send one out to someone if they REALLY need it. You will need a Tork 6 screwdriver to fit it back.

Please tell your company who you got the phone from as well as calling up HTC. When I spoke to orange and HTC for that matter they told me that they have had no other reports of this happerning to others despite loads reports of it on here.
