From what I've seen, download booster was only hidden in settings of S5 from the Consumer. I posted a thread in Sprint S5 talking about how to enable and thought I'd share here as well for general info.

If you'd like to assist in this project, send me a PM. Any and all help appreciated. (need someone who can edit smali as well)

----Enable Download Booster for All variants S5----

1. Download third party launcher

2. Long press homescreen

3. Select shortcuts -> activities

4.Scroll to settings and open

5. Scroll to Download Booster to add to screen

6. Tap new setting icon on homepage

7. Enable and profit

After enabling, you can see download booster in notification bar grayed out until usage. You CAN unistall third party launcher afterwards if you desire since download booster still activated.

Edit 4/16: WIP, still testing to see what may work. Any info towards file on variant where download booster is enabled would be appreciated (ie, extracting file from T mobile version and posting on forum). Will try to work on it. Currently looking into the S4 forums towards the path and edits needed to make it work.

EDIT 4/18: need framework-res.apk and SecSettings.apk from phone variant that has download booster as an option so I can try to port it to our device.

EDIT 4/23: so Ive gathered the T mobile versions of the apks and decompiled. Ive managed to get the download booster in Sprint Variant settings as of now and easy enable from touchwiz (see screenshot). Still working to fully enable.

EDIT 4/26: see post 30 screenshot, need to find this file location.

EDIT 4/26 #2: after help from miked63017 pointing me to a post by eyecon82, along with what I've found from various ROMs and Db files/etc, I have enabled Download Booster in the Notification Panel drop down (see screenshot). Now to get it fully working.

EDIT 4/28: after decompile of SystemUI, NWBooster actually has many places within, mostly smali edits needed to enabled under Network Controller. The Network Booster is actually related (by searching the SQLite Editor->Settings Storage->Settings.db->system->search for "Smart") to Smart Bonding to the Quick Tile for NWBooster. Also, through decompile of the SystemUI, under Network Controller, I noticed a ro.config.combined_signal (still deciding what this actually is based on file).

EDIT 5/4: I've linked the download booster (aka nwbooster/network booster/smart bonding) to WFC (also called Wificalling). By noticing that smartbonding (under settings.db from SettingsProvider) that Wificalling AND Download Booster both tripped the smart_bonding to become 1 from 0 (showing enabled). I looked again into the Settings.apk decompiled and found that DBooster IS linked to WifiCalling, meaning we get one enabled, we get both. I also know, that under /System/framework that TmoWfcUtils.jar exists which DOES have functioning into why T-mobile has both the Wificalling and Download Booster enabled. I believe this jar has something to do with Dbooster and it being enabled. If you'd like to assist in this project, please PM me.

Unfortunately, that doesn't do anything. Maybe (hopefully) it'll help the process along for a dev to find a way to truly implement the feature, but for right now...that toggle is just for show.
[Galaxy S 5 General] marcadam:
Download booster is already in my settings menu, I had a small update yesterday, not sure if that was part of it. I have not really tested it yet though.
[Galaxy S 5 General] eyecon82:
You can enable it, but still doesn't work

Download booster is only turned off for AT&T and Verizon customers. Sprint and Tmobile are still allowing it due to truly unlimited plans.

Nuts...since havent posted my requisite 10 posts yet, Google is your friend about why and how you can get Download booster working...

Im sure one of the fine folks here at XDA will have a workaround in a day or two at the most. Just got my S5 today (tmobile) and was looking for a root workaround (Thanks Chainfire!).:)
[Galaxy S 5 General] RevelationOmega:
Not option yet for Sprint/ATT/Verizon devices yet, I dont believe there has been update for our devices to enable this option. If you could see back to new update in OP, I need framework-res.apk and SecSettings.apk to see if I can port over to our phones since update may not come for some time (do not have ETA on when theyd do that).

Sprint/ATT/Verizon all do not have download booster option even possible. No one has ported this to our devices yet (as to my knowledge).
[Galaxy S 5 General] eyecon82:
Sprint doesn't have it even though they have unlimited data

[Galaxy S 5 General] marcadam:
Testing it was a disappointment, I really didn't notice any difference in download speed but there again I think three had issues tonight with data, 4g and h+ were both incredibly slow at about .5 mbps ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] StubbyinKCMO:
Revelation, thats what I was saying. Someone will have a fix in the next couple days. Phone only came out the 13th. You guys know your stuff when it comes to getting rid of the stuff carriers add or break that the phone should be capable of doing anyhow.

And if I could post up speedtest jpg I would. 33Mb/s d/l and 6 Mb u/l. But the download booster wasnt lighting up on the status bar. So I am guessing it was just using wireless in the house.
[Galaxy S 5 General] RevelationOmega:
Yeah, as of now until I can work on trying to get the booster to work via editing files and apks, the icon will be there yet no function. Hopefully it'll come in few days but, unless someone in community develops it first and ports, sprint I don't count on releasing update soon (hopefully wrong and sprint would do that). I'll be working on it as well as others to get this working.
[Galaxy S 5 General] AcE2DuCe:
Not on sprint.....

I have the sprint S5 and we do not have the download booster ;-[
[Galaxy S 5 General] StubbyinKCMO:
Revelation, how would one go about getting those apk's? After rooting I would imagine, but total noob here. I just use the ROMs after you guys cook them.

Currently still stock and no rooted yet on Tmobile. Just finished getting it all set up. Going from S2 with KitKat from Thddude to this thing is a bit of a change...LOL!
[Galaxy S 5 General] RevelationOmega:
Since you have t mobile, you need root of course. Once rooted, use file explorer to navigate to individual apks and then basically copy/paste into another folder so you could post here. Secsettings.apk in system-> priv-app and framework-res.apk in system-> framework folder. OP had apks needed based on what I saw on S4 and what they extracted in S5. I'm going to dig in their first once I get t mobile or other variant files (preferably t mobile since only still US carrier to have download booster enabled as option). Hopefully if I find the source of where disabled, I can recompile the apks to work on all variants. If I don't find it in those apks, I'll keep looking based on what I see in other claims to being download booster enabled.

[Galaxy S 5 General] StubbyinKCMO:
Ok if I can post up my dropbox correctly Revelation, I should be able to get this to you. However I couldnt get the priv-app file. Couldnt find it. Only the folder named that. Total noob with Unix anything...

go to dropbox.com/s/l1tdljwtlv2yhu9/SecSettings.apk <<< remove spaces before dropbox to get that one.

same thing dropbox.com/s/936v90266784vt2/framework-res.apk <<<same thing. Just remove one space.

Hope that it helps out somewhat. Then I may feel like I actually contributed something.
[Galaxy S 5 General] RevelationOmega:
Thank you, everything counts towards to get it working.
[Galaxy S 5 General] RevelationOmega:
OP Updated, see edits over course so far of what I've found out. If someone knows smali coding a bit more, need some to be looked over since found some lines needing to be modded. PM me if you can look over code and know how to edit the smali.
[Galaxy S 5 General] EnricoIT:
Is there a way to have download booster turning on while doing a Speedtest?
[Galaxy S 5 General] jrubenc:
What for? Just to see the mark go higher? That feature is really useless unless you have an unlimited data plan (or you are rich).

1. Damn Bluetooth on the Universal gives static to soooo many different Bluetooth headsets/handfrees.

2. The 1.3 MP camera quality is worse than my bloody webcam.

3. Graphics performance is not suitable for smooth full-screen DivX playback.

God damn HTC...Taiwanese company...Why do they release products that are so "crap"? The specs look good on paper...but the quality of the product is really questionable!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] DavidT.:
Cool. My fish drowned.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xxnoelziexx:
1. Damn Bluetooth on the Universal gives static to soooo many different Bluetooth headsets/handfrees.

If you search the forum you will find that some bluetooth headsets work without this issue, I have one which gives of static but that is only if I am at least 10 feet from my universal, Bluetooth isn't perfect by a long shot on the universal

2. The 1.3 MP camera quality is worse than my bloody webcam.

Camera quality on most phones are bad, I never use my phone camera unless I have too.

3. Graphics performance is not suitable for smooth full-screen DivX playback.

What frames per second are you using to encoded your movies, I have only had it stutter for a few times on my ones, Lost season 2 on my way to work.

There are a few things you can do to speed up the universal make it run far better, it is one of the best pda/phones on the market. For VGA it is in it's own league.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jaceuk:
how long have you had the device?

its takes some getting use to but IMO it a first in a step in diffrent direction for PDAS.

If your looking for a normal phone and good camera try a samsung or nokia ,even these megs pix cams are never as good as a digi cam

but if your after a tiny laptop,mp3 player and net surfing on the move than its ideal

horses for courses as they say.nothing in life is pefect but you have to choose how to pick whats suits your own needs the best and make a compromise

this method also works with women :lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Chatbox:
1. Yes, I know there are a "few" that work with the Universal without much issue. That's besides the point though. The ratio of static-giving headset vs no-static headset is just too high. Making the universal a product with questionable compatibility issues.

2. I don't think that's an excuse for the universal in this case. (a) It's not a camera phone, it's a PDA/phone. (b) The price tag isn't exactly low. (c) You've now lowered your standard of what a good product should be like? :?

3. Having come from the HX4700...I KNOW the Universal graphics performance sucks. I used to be able to download DivX off the internet and play directly on the HX4700 without further conversion/encoding. It's just NOT convinient if I have to re-encode those DivX just so that I can watch them on the Universal. The Universal is just INCAPABLE of doing this same task that another cheaper, older PDA CAN.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Chatbox:
Been using it for 2 months.

I don't need a great camera...I just need one that at the very least doesn't give me noise/bright pixels...which my (and other people's) universal is giving me a lot of.

The screen refresh/windows redraw on the universal is quite annoying, it's not snappy at all. It's like using those old S3 video card on your computer where you SEE the graphics being refresh on one area at a time :shock: .

To me, right now, the only thing that's keeping me from selling the universal is the keyboard. And that's, subsequently, means it's a bloody expensive keyboard.

I still don't understand why they release such a poorly thought out product out the door.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Chatbox:
Sorry to hear that.

Did it drown in the hot water (hot weather)...or did a family member piss in the fish bowl/tank?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cmonex:
strange that you hate your universal... i love mine! probably because i dont care about the things you listed...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Biffert:
Maybe you should ask yourself why you bought the phone/pda in the first place. Does it have all the functions that you need/want? As for performance... there are tweaks and stuff to speed it up a little. And the camera... i never have high expectations about camera's in devices where the main function is NOT taking pictures :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] richardlai:
Chatbox: I do agree that the hx4700 has a far superior graphics performance, but one must bear in mind that it was only a PDA rather than a PDA phone.

As for the price tag: nowadays you get large price tags for tiny devices, i.e. the smaller (hence not-so-good performance) the more expensive. You cannot expect an all-in-one device to beat every camera/phone/PDA. I am not trying to defend HTC or Microsoft, but I just want to point out that you get this in most types of product.

If you're not enjoying your Universal, you can consider selling it so that you can try something else. I live in Hong Kong and I know someone who would LOVE to buy a second-hand Universal for a reasonable price.

DON'T get the xda Atom series though! Quanta - the company who makes the Atoms - is not as good as HTC.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Chatbox:
I guess it's good to have no/little expectation at times, especially in this case.

Let's see why I bought the Universal:

1. 3G capable phone.

2. APac region tri-band phone.

3. All contacts on one single device. No need to sync phone then sync PDA.

4. Portable device consolidation (PDA & Phone in one).

5. Keyboard.

6. VGA display (reasonable quality...crap performance though).

7. 802.11b supported

8. Bluetooth 1.2 (but have major compatibility issues...IT'S PICKY)

9. 1.3MP camera (It was supposed to replace my K750i's camera).

So, if I'm going to a new, different device, what are my options...if any?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cmonex:
if you need all these you have no other options at the moment.

if you can live without VGA, htc hermes is out soon.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Chatbox:
Hum...tempting...the Hermes is already available here in HK, if I'm not mistaken. It's the Dopod CHT 9000, right?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] chosl:
IMO I think:

1. the hardware is great

2. wm5 is good, far better than wm 2003.

if anyone/anything should be hated its the absence of rom updates. htc & operators/distributers are so fired up selling devices that they don't care about devices that have been sold. honestly, its only the devices that are sold most that gets the most frequent updates and even then its not enough. perhaps when ms releases microsoft update for windows mobile it will get good (not great ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vondutch:
3.

Try to install TCPMP on you SD CARD instead of the phone. I heared it fix the problem of looking divx movies. On my MDA PRO the performance is great. I don''t have to reencode divx movies I downloaded , just copy and play.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Chatbox:
Thanks, but I've already tried everything there was to try before I came to my conclusion of how I feel about the unit. Such as: install on SD, run with and without XScalar, with USB plugged in, hardware VSync, no zoom...etc, even overclocked (That's just out of the question because the unit became even more unreliable than what it already was. I am looking for a rock solid PDA...or at least can handle one full week without restart/hang/pauses/jerks.)

It is just NOT SMOOTH...watch your videos carefully, very carefully.

As a result, I had to go out and buy a PMP to do the job (Archos AV500...for the curious ones). :?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] int.inc:
get a laptop

then u will be happy

obviously the universal was not a smart buy for u

u are expecting desktop performance on a pocket pc phone plus u are watching too many movies and listening to too many mp3s. the universal is too serious a device. u need something more like a toy.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Chatbox:
Unless there's something wrong in my interpretation, you're saying a laptop is like a toy, and, a desktop performance can be found in a laptop(but the last time I checked, last weekend, there wasn't any hardware raid in any workstation class laptops from IBM nor HP). That, or your advice is warped. Or, you just haven't seen/experienced anything better from a PDA. Feel sorry for you that you can dream big, want more...and only settle for less.

I watch tv eps to and from work as I spend approx 1 hour each way on a daily basis. What's there better to do when you're on public transport? I don't really like sitting in front of the TV like a stone when I have other things to do at home.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] indra9110:
Is Weird.... I Really love my UNIVERSAL ...... until I buy the 2nd one ....

:D :D :D

cheers...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cmonex:
ram problem or bad software installed? mine is stable as rock. i don't even have any memory leaks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Chatbox:
I'm starting to think it might be a ROM version difference.

I was using the Dopod 900 WWE ROM when I was having all those issues.

Now using a T-Mobile ROM...Radio 1.10. Bluetooth handfree audio quality is a lot better. However, the universal wasn't able to find the handfree this morning when I woke up (they were already pair the night before, both were powered on), had to restart the unit (just toggle bluetooth on->off->on didn't help).

The camera and the DivX playback...well, they're still hopeless.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] richardlai:
I found that the camera got worse with the new ROM (currently the latest Dopod traditional Chinese ROM).

I have come across a laptop with RAID, and I think it was a Fujitsu (about HK$30,000!). It was featured in "ezone", the gadget magazine from Hong Kong, if you're a Chinese reader.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Chatbox:
I'll try to look into the Fujitsu laptop...if I can find it. Thanks for the info. Let's hope that it also has FireGL or a Quardro on it (currently using a T41p with 2GB ram and 100GB 7200rpm drive...just so you know what I expect from a laptop). However, I'm not sure about the quality of Fujitsu laptops as I haven't use any before. But, Fujitsu-Siemens, on the other hand, makes some very sweet HA servers. :twisted:

To an extent, I might seem a bit nut to request a minimum of 7 dyas uptime from a PDA. But think about it, your cheapo (or extremely expensive) phone-capable-only phone can run for two weeks without crashing. Your laptop (x86, in my experience), can run for 2 months without crashing (OS dependent, of course). And your free alarm clock from Kellogg's can run for one year without problem. So, why should you expect less from a PDA-phone?

Here's why I'm annoyed with the universal's reliability. At first, I use it as an alarm clock, set to 07:30 and 07:45 every morning. On two seperate occasions, it crashed over the evening. No auto reboot, it just stopped responding. Nothing was running at the time as I usually robust test all my PDAs for 3 months with their original ROM from manufacturer. So, I started to question the quality of the product, both hardware and software. Do I need to buy two Universals to make an HA solution to the alarm clock problem? Now, I hope some of you would understand where I'm coming from.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cmonex:
no, you don't seem to be a nut to me with your requirement of 7 days' uptime, i'm used to that kind of uptime on a pda myself. now still learning my qtek 9000, so have done a few soft resets, but never due to a system crash or similar. :) it can also multitask very well, better than older winCE or WM versions. even if the CPU load is at 99% it doesn't seem to want to crash. for example when loading a 1.6 MB doc file for example hehehe - but: this is one thing i'm not happy with on the universal. it opens rtf fast but not doc. wtf? my 6 year old 206 mhz hpc2000 hpc pda can do it very fast..

however i don't think it is a good idea to compare the universal to a plain cellphone, the latter is capable of almost nothing. just calls and sms and such, what else? nothing - very dull. no wonder it is easier for it to be absolutely stable. and even then, i've seen normal phones that needed a turn off - turn on (which is equivalent to a soft reset on these) to bring a function back to life (gprs modem for example).

wow 3 months solely for testing a new pda? that seems a little crazy :) i'm already using my qtek 9000 as my phone. (have had it for five days now :D )

your other requirements are certainly more than what i need from a pda or a laptop, but that's not a problem. hope you can find what fits your needs the best!

Jasjar

There are more reason not to choose IMATE

1. It can stuck in bootload screen even you try official rom.

2. No repair under warranty you have to pay another fortune.

3. There are limited service location and online service that does not work

4. ...............

5. ...............

Try another supplier HTC is a good device but on the right supplier
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] richardlai:
Re: Jasjar

I disagree here: i-mate only optimizes the devices they sell, i.e. they are basically programmers, and their service is good. IMO i-mate actually has the most stable ROMs.

You should also know that the founder and now CEO of i-mate was the designer of the very first xda, should this help at all.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] HeartOfDarkness:
Hummm... I'm not completly sure what your "aim" is here: do you want to start a flame-war or something ? Because as for your remarks:

1. Bluetooth is on par with most phones I've tried / used. With the net advantage on the Universal that you can upgrade / downgrade / change your ROMs (especially the Radio ROM) to suit your needs / tastes, which you cannot do on most other phones. Of course some phones are better. But lots are much worse...

2. Same goes for the embedded camera: since it is supposed to be a secondary camera at best, I find it pretty good, considering what can be found on other mobile phones on the market. I'd say your web-cam's pretty good, I guess;

3. You know, never was the Universal supposed to be a PMP killer... It's supposed to be versatile, not flawless on all respects. I find DivX playback pretty good myself, considering what other smart-phones on the market do (especially considering I'm using TrueVGA).

As to HTC being a "crappy" taiwanese company... Aside from the fact that most cutting-edge technological stuff come from there and NOT from anywhere else, the internal design for Windows Mobile based / ARM processor-based PDAs is mostly standard stuff, mostly edicted by Intel (in regards with Microsoft specifications, and that works both ways). If it's a crappy design, how is it HTC's failure ? HTC actually went out of the "beaten bushes" to provide us with a uniquely featured PDA, and even if it is a bit bulky, can you name another viable alternative to the Universal in terms of feature set / performance / usuability ?

When it came out, the Universal simply integrated the best of what existed: fastest ARM, VGA screen, wifi b/g, Bluetooth... Even now, you can count PDAs with a VGA screen using only two hands, not to mention PDA-phones... And how often is a 520 MHz ARM processor used even in PDAs ?

You know, in an ideal world, Sony Clié would be the ruling PDAs... When you see the current trend in the smart-phone / PDA market, I find the Universal extremly interesting... Of course perfectible, but what isn't ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
the only one that might fit the PDA bill is the Zaurus Cx000's. but judging from the brick-like nature of mine for the last year i would say "Not even close" :)
