How To Manually Replace framework-res.apk On Stock ROMs

1. Have a backup of your system in case of problems.

2. Root your tablet if not already rooted.

3. Install a file manager with system r/w capability.

4. Copy the framework-res.apk from wherever you have it stored to \system. Do not copy the file to \system\framework at this point or you will cause the system to bootloop.

Change the file permissions to rw-r--r--.

You may also have the option to set the Owner and the Group. With the file manager I use, Super Manager, I have this option when setting permissions. If you do have this option, change both Owner and Group to 0. This sets both to root.

5. Move framework-res.apk from \system to \system\framework, letting it overwrite the original. You will have not been successful if the tablet does not instantly reboot upon copying. You might need to try copying several times till it actually copied and the phone will reboot right away.

6. Completely power down your tablet, then power it back up.

Hi I'm also on the 720t. Mind sharing your build. Would really like to try it out.

Thank you

Hi bro, does your rebuilt ROM come with stock kernel? If not, how to flash to stock kernel? Is the boot.img from stock ROM the stock kernel? Just extract and flash it with odin?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
No need to do that, it comes with the stock :)

×Rebel Nation×
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] armandm21:
Flashed it but no wi-fi or data. is there any special instructions to flash your build? :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
Ahh I possibly know why, go to your APN & edit the Sprint LTE Internet & edit APN to n.ispsn & the bearer to LTE, these are mentioned earlier I believe tho & the WiFi should be working out the box, I'm having no issues with it here

×Rebel Nation×
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] armandm21:
Ok. I will try to reflash it again when i get home. Thank you for all the help. Really appreciate it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] speed51133:
Wait, this says for verizon, whats the deal???

nevermind....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] @BB:
I had to do this (detailed instructions in the OP) to get my MMS and data working. For some reason, SMS messages longer than 140 characters still fail to send but still troubleshooting that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
Its a port from the Verizon section

I am coming from Sacs previous rom with NG2. I don't quite follow what I need to do to flash this rom. What additional files do I need?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
You shouldn't need anything, just flash the ROM, the rest should be build.prop edits for the main part so everything matches our sprint devices

×Rebel Nation×

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

I just tested the 140 character sent fail & can confirm that it does fail, not sure what's causing it yet tho, picture messages in general works so that's still good

Anyone knows where the APN entry "APN2 LTE internet" come from?

A similar entry is "APN2 EHRPD internet".

My carrier is Freedompop, a Sprint mvno (Mobile virtual network operator). When the phone is on Stock ROM, the APN is correctly set to "APN2 LTE internet" which is the right one for Freedompop, but this entry is not in the stock apns-conf.xml file. When the phone is on this ported ROM, or Lollipop Nightly based ROMs, the APN for Freedompop is not there so that I have to enter it manually. Therefore I'm curious where this entry comes from. If we can figure it out, maybe we can do some mod to the ported ROM as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
it could possibly be for Ting, but i could be very wrong on that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JG96EVO:
Hi, just wondering if I'm missing something, I can't get data working on my end. I've enclosed screenies of my APN settings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DJSmoove:
You forgot

Multimedia message proxy: 68.28.31.7
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JG96EVO:
Well I appreciate it man. I added it but I still have no data.. Idk if it's because I'm using a 720T version with OA3 baseband instead of the NG5 like everyone else or what do I'm just going to flash back to boring stock rooted until I can figure it out..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shadowcliffs:
My 720T OA3 has LTE with Freedompop.

---------- Post added at 04:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 AM ----------

Mine took 2 min to pass the boot logo and start at "Android is upgrading". The latter took a while though. In Op it says first boot should take less than 8 min, otherwise it's a stall. Try choose less mod and flash again. It seems N4 theme causes stall. You can head over to the verizon link for more info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JG96EVO:
Well it's working! :D thank u everyone. 1 of the APN settings was missing a space lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shadowcliffs:
Hotspot is not working for me. Back to Stock OA3.

Update: False alarm. After another dirty flash, hotspot is working now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
That's probably because we're on the T version, I believe their was a fix for that, not sure how permanent it was though, amma check it out & see if I can find anything :), by the way, how's OA3?, is their any main difference?, or is their no big reason to upgrade?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
What recovery are folks using for this one? And any working link to the latest firmware (modem only, no bootloader)?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JG96EVO:
I'm using twrp 2.8.4 and u can get the link to the stock firmware off of sammobile.com just put your model number in the search box and it'll show the latest firmware to download.

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

​

The main fix in OA3 is improvements in wifi calling bro and idk if it's just me but I also have noticed an increase in battery life on my end.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leaderbuilder:
Don't want full build

But thanks I'll keep looking.

Found it I think. Googlefooing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shadowcliffs:
+1. We do it just because we can;). Otherwise, I'm not sure why I flashed this ROM either.

Update: Come back to this rom for Note 4 camera, toolbox and ultra power saving mode.

Here is the stock rooted deodexed OA3 and his extras zip has the modem, kernel and recovery from OA3.

Edit: OA3 is the latest firmware for the L720T and I'm using TWRP 2.8.4.0

2nd Edit: Just checked and it looks like their having trouble with the full zip, and he's checking it out. The modem and kernel from the extras zip should be fine though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JerryGNYC:
Just note that the ROM upload was corrupted during transfer, and that [MENTION=4590326]bthorne79[/MENTION] has to fix that first...

Yep, just tried my download and got the update binary error he's talking about.

Have to wait until he uploads it again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MonsterBoX:
I went back to Sacs 4.0... having the long text problem ... plus group message seems to have issues sending... and I can't seem to do anything with APN settings... I did push Sprint xml but still says Verizon in settings and doesn't allow to add or configure that way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] E12350:
Will this work for ng2 baseband ?

You might want to try to update sales_code to XAS in build.prop to make Apn reappear. Or try with galaxy tool.

i love the rom, got my LTE to work through the APN settings. However still cant send an MMS. Im using hangouts and trying to send a picture. I've read throught all the posts, did I miss something?

Go to the playstore and download 8sms to send pictures.

That would be great. That's the rom I'm using now. Can you try 2 get the echoe lollipop rom working on sprint s4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shadowcliffs:
Somehow this rom runs warm on me (720T, OA3), therefore battery performance is not good.

Update: Come back to this rom and it seems warm issue is gone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
Quick question, are any of the transparency options working for you?, i tried the stock and it made no difference, its still transparent on my side, didn't try the other options because I need it to be off lol

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 4 Door Skyline:
I flashed this yesterday, smoooooth as butter. I'm having a couple of issues though.

When I plug in my phone and leave it charging (screen off) the phone locks up and the only way to recover is to reboot.

Also the incoming caller announcement feature, I can't find where to disable that.

Any help or clarification would be much appreciated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JerryGNYC:
If you're using Google Voice, the incoming caller announcement is in its settings, IIRC.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DJSmoove:
Anyone know a good way to uninstall some of the apps that are pre installed on this ROM without it crashing it or not booting up anymore? When I try to set up this ROM a few times I try to uninstall a few apps with titanium backup that I really don't see any use for, it would just crash and not boot. That problem kinda forced me to go back to V4 for the time being. I want to give this ROM another shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
Which .apks were you uninstalling?

×Rebel Nation×
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shadowcliffs:
I have a feeling that this has something to do with this rom is encrypted someway to prevent apps being copied. The source roma is not a popular one at all and actually I think it's dev has stopped working on that rom. Why is this rom chosen for porting to our l720t? I didn't get it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DJSmoove:
Ah okay, Aroma is an encryption that is in that Rom to install or uninstall apk you must use that program that was made for that Rom. So it is impossible to deleted them from titanium backup. Yeah for some reason there is no more Original support for this Rom. Reason I got this cause of the S5 ultra mode and few others mods I like.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JerryGNYC:
AROMA is the installer that lets you pick what you want to install or not (and depends on how the ROM's author configures it). It's not encryption. Why don't you list the files you have uninstalled and give us a chance to give you an educated answer as opposed to making suppositions.

Cheers,

About to flash, assuming still only the apn fix for mms outgoing to work (and then using a 3rd party app) is all that is required post the installation? No issues with GPS lock, wifi, hotspot, etc

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DJSmoove:
There is a slight problem with the GPS locking to the right area for me. It's off by 1000 meters. I'm going to see if I can find the GPS files for SPH-L720 phone push them. But everything else works good so far. I just reinstalled it on my phone yesterday.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] antmon:
Just so I completely understand this... I can see how to just copy the framework file into the system-framework folder... but on the apn.config file, I am I just copying and pasting what you have in the text with what is in my current apn.config file?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JerryGNYC:
Are these all installed as system or user apps? I can imagine problems if you remove the Dialer and/or messaging and there are no substitutes for those functions. Is there another dialer present? Messaging (SMS) app? Can any of these be removed from the Settings app/control panel? (I'm not running this ROM right now)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DJSmoove:
Ex dialer is Google dialer I'm using stock dialer and that messenger app is another Google app. The apps are like embedded into the Rom. I didn't get to choose them. Reason I don't need them cause I got Google voice for my messenger. I do still have the stock messenger app which I gotta to keep if I want to send out mms or receive mms. You can only disable them through the system app Manger. I tired to root uninstall them the whole Rom would reboot and go into a bootloop or would just stay on a black screen. I waited 10 mins and nothing happend .

Yeah they not unselectedable in the Aroma installer.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] moovius:
I'm still solid with my SPH-L720, and I'll probably be sticking with it for another year after hearing the S6 will not have microsd nor will it have removable battery (Samsung, you better not do this to the note 5).

Currently I'm on MF9 radio with Sacs 4.3 (other than the bluetooth headphone skip every few min, it's pretty solid). But I'd love to have the power saving mode option that comes with the Phoenix rom.

Will this work with MF9 or will I need to move to a more recent radio?

How much modifying will I need to do to get this to work well with the SPH-720?

I used to be more adventurous with roms back in the days of my Touch Pro 2, just flash and go. But it seems all these S4 roms need doctoring: reflash this to get features back, then flash back to this rom, edit this build prop, stand on your head and spin to get gps, etc etc. Hence, I've only tried one rom so far.

Thank you for your input.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pontif:
What are you trying to do? To get data you must manually add sprint APN mentioned in op to get data services. If you aren't getting activated I suggest going stock update everything then. Reinstall ROM . be thankful [MENTION=2744265]sac23[/MENTION] even ported this ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] molitar:
No Sprint themselves need to update the MDN number as the phone number has been changed. But not able to access the IOT Hidden Menu's none work not even an app for it works. That is what originally did was a complete wipe, reset, and update as the NG V4 would not run doing same thing so I thought I would give this one a try. I did not say anything bad about it but that it is worthless to me as it is now because phone won't work until I can fix the MDN phone number. Is there a fix or someway to fix IOT Hidden Menu when they will not start or launch?
