Surely the easiest way to debrand is to just flash a new ROM via ODIN?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] -Elvin-:
Is that way safe, dont want to brick my phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rawat:
I've done a branded Orange and Vodafone by flashing XXJPO via ODIN.

It's very hard to totally brick your phone with ODIN, but there can be complications.

Before you do anything, make sure you have working 3br and download mode. If you don't have it, I don't recommened using Kies or ODIN.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] n1kon:
Flashing with odin will not allow u to update with kies when the next release is issued as your product will stay the same and your software versions will be wrong so you will need to use odin again. Plus if odin is used wrong it can brick you phone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rawat:
Nope, if you flash a full ROM via ODIN, including the CSC, it'll work fine. It'll even work on kies (although i don't know why anyone would want to do that :p)

Kies can also brick your phone >_>;

Morning guys n gals

So Im trying to set a location setup through tasker, but I have noticed this problem with google maps as well. My point is, with wifi on, and connected to my home router, my phone thinks I am living a few blocks up the road. Is there any way I can set something, either in my router or phone, to tell it that I am at my address, when connected to this wifi?

Thoughts on this:

GPS has nothing to do with it, when its enabled and outside its spot on

Phone towers have nothing to do with this, the phone tower thinks I am somewhere else unrelated

Its purely based off wifi, and the 'accuracy' bubble is outside my home range

Thanks people :)

I saw this thread and it made me gain interest in this again. I know many do not like three ringtone volume increasing.

If this is possible on the international version, we should be able to do the same right?

The meat of it

The meat of what they are doing appears to be in >> THIS << post, which I will quote below. If any developer that knows what they are doing wants to attempt this for the Vibrant the quoted post should give them an quick idea of its feasibility. If it looks like it is doable there is more info in the original I9000 thread that is linked in the OP.

pretty sure that is where I posted this initially..... must have been a mod moving it.
[Vibrant General] YetisAreReal:
OK so this fix rrequires that use the .apk's from a deodexed rom which I don't have on hand so I will down download a few and edit the .apk's. Gonna take a bit more time than previously thought but I will get it done soon.
[Vibrant General] T313C0mun1s7:
Thank you for this. Please log your work. With a good writeup and good understanding of what is going on it would be nice to see devs put this in as a option on all the deodexed ROMs.
[Vibrant General] YetisAreReal:
Some good news and some bad for now. I have successfully decompiled and recompile the APK as told but no luck so far in fixing the ringtone. Ran into a similar issue that the i9000 users were with each build being different. I am testing on JL4 first with other builds to follow once I am successful. In my Phone.apk I found two lines similar to the line mentioned in the OP for the i9000 but removing either one or both has has no effect for me so I am digging deeper and trying test builds. Java isn't exactly my thing so if anyone with java know how would like to look at the decompiled script I can forward it to them.

EDIT: added the file for peer review just remove the .txt and open with any text editor.
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
After reading this last night, seemed easy enough, I was determined to try this. Dl'd the apkmanager, extracted my phone.apk, and began playing. Apparently, this is listed in the About/Tips/Debug (menu selection 23) inside of apk manager, you cannot decompile themed apk's, which is exactly what i was trying to do with my Ginger Clone phone.apk. Oh well, back to the drawing board, or at least something with a stock phone.apk i can play around with. Anyone have one, unthemed, from froyo (preferrably jl4 as thats the basis for the current rom I'm running) they want to post?
[Vibrant General] YetisAreReal:
Here you go stock JL4 Phone.apk, please let me know if you get this working I had no luck.
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
Thx! I'll be giving it a go in the morning when I get to my pc.

Epic Fail. I successfully decompiled, edited, and recompiled the APK. The exact line in the script that was linked instructions from T313C0mun1s7 was removed, script file saved, apk recompiled properly, and pushed to the phone. Rebooted phone, the stock jl4 i just edited actually works and doesn't fc on Ginger Clone R2 Final, but the ascending ringtone is still there. I'll post the edited apk if anyone is interested, but it seems to not work. I see, more research in my near future.

Edited - spoke too soon, fc's on outbound calls. Gonna try again granted I have the time this morning, if not, I might have to wait until I get back in town after the holidays to play around with this.

Edit 2 - No more fc's on outbound calls with the newly edited phone.apk, but also, still having the ascending ringer. I removed both lines in the script that echoed the linked post on page 1, tried with removing one or the other first, then both, and still the ascending ringer persists through all attempts. Hrm.
[Vibrant General] YetisAreReal:
I see you ran into the exact same problems I did using JL4 stock. I am on JL5 now so I am going to test a few things on this build now in the hopes I can fix this.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
First of all I have no idea what I am doing. Second I am not sure of all the issues you guys are having. I am just trying to think outside the box. I found this not sure if it applies or not.

apks can be re-edited a few different ways. The easiest example is by replacing the individual files within the apk by dragging and dropping the files in a program such as 7zip or winrar. In this manner the signature of the apk isnt broken. If you must unpack the apk file then when you pack it back up you must resign the app to have in install successfully. Do a google search for Stericson's apk sign application (its over on xda forums). I usually prefer the first way, but have also done the second method and it works as well.
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
yetis - yeah, same place you were getting stuck. let me know what your results are for the jl5 attempt. i tried with both the jl4 stock and ginger clone apk's this morning, all with the same results.

nomad - thx for the heads up, i am admittedly a novice in the android world, but have been in IT for years and am a self professed computer geek. With the apkmanager posted earlier in this thread, it will do all of the uncompiling and decompiling for you, as well as signing and a ton of other things written into the script, all based on user choices. it does warn about signing system apps after recompile, unless you want to resign all of the other system apps. Never had a problem with the installing of the modded phone.apk, just push it to the system/app folder and reboot, and the last one i did worked flawlessly without and fc's, but did not fix the problem of the ascending ringer.
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
Yetis, I was over reading through the thread on this in the i9000 forums, and I dug up some information that might help us here. I'm away from my pc so can't verify any of this right now.

-Make sure the rom is deodexed.

-Delete the line that matches what was posted earlier, I think it was the first one in that script, not the one way down at the bottom, leave that one be.

-When recompiling, set the compression in apk manager to 0 (not sure how to do that without the program in front of me)

When you go to push the file, put your phone in airplane mode first, push, then reboot.

Let me know if any of this helps, good luck.

[Vibrant General] YetisAreReal:
Yea I have tried all of those except the compression setting which I might try a little later today. Thus far I have tried various line edits in the Ringer$.smali and Ringer.smali files with no luck. I feel like I am getting closer though but Java is not my specialty I have only used VB/LUA before so I may need to start on my Java lessons for developing on the Android platform.
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
Back in town, been playing with this all morning, even going through other scripting in the phone.apk in a vain attempt to track down the offending line of code causing the ascending ringer. Entirely unsuccessful. Gonna step back and take a look at this with fresh eyes in a little while. Any progress on your part Yetis?
[Vibrant General] YetisAreReal:
I have given up on it for a couple days now. No luck in any .xml edits they either didn't do anything or caused FC's. Not sure why the i9000 works and ours doesn't but someone in that thread did mention an app that disables the rising ringer for you so I may check that out.
[Vibrant General] MoWeb:
Please don't give up on this. The app mentioned in that thread doesn't disable the ascending ringtone. I tried using the phone.apk from the int'l thread and it does disable this stupid feature from Samsung but it force closes a lot. I can't believe people actually like this feature and that no dev has removed it.

I tried doing this myself but no matter what I do my edits cause force closes, so I can't even get past that. I guess I'm not following the decompile/recompile steps correctly even though I set compression to 0. I’m certainly no expert just strictly a user. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't give up.
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
You can't believe people like it the same way I can't believe people don't like it.

I hope this mod is done though, cause the more options we have the better. People should be allowed to decide if they want it or not.
[Vibrant General] MoWeb:
More specifically, I meant why enough people don't like it to create enough interest that a DEV would make this MOD. It seems to me more people like it than hate it.

That's what I meant.:)
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
You're running into the same issues me and yetis were. There is something different about the galaxy s vibrant than the international version, we are editing the script exactly as they stated, and its just not working. I have recompiled at every compression level and memory setting available in apkmanager. Edited different lines in the script that may or may not apply, and methodically tested every combination I can think of, including keeping parts of the original apk, or keeping nothing and recompiling from scratch, and yetis has tested everything he can think of as well. All of it leading to fc's, or in the rare instance of no fc's, the ascending ringtone prevails.

Maybe thats why no dev has touched it, because there is something else causing this it seems, unless we are all doing the process wrong. I'd have to say though with all the different ways I personally tried, something should have worked if the referenced line of code is in fact the right one to remove.

[Vibrant General] MoWeb:
How are you decompiling? Using apk manager 4.9 I tried using option 9 and then option 10. Only option 10 works but after I first drag framework-res.apk and then twframework-res.apk into the cmd window. When I recompile it never adds the META-INF folder or the files AndroidManifest.xml, classes.dex, and resources.arsc into the build folder.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
I tried using both options, and same had to drag the framework files over for option 10 to decompile. As far as recompiling, the internal structure of the apk changes when you recompile. The only way to verify your changes took is to decompile the apk you just made and verify the script is still edited, and compare the internals of the newly decompiled apk to the original. Honestly, I have no idea what any of us are doing wrong here, if we are doing anything wrong to begin with.

Ginger Clone's of the World Unite! Via the XDA App
[Vibrant General] MoWeb:
Ok. I thought it was just me. I'm still trying to figure this out.
[Vibrant General] MoWeb:
Br1cK'd,

I found out MY problem why the ascending ringtone is still there. Somehow the Ringer$1.smali isn't staying updated. I checked by decompiling my edited file. I think this has something to do with decompiling and recompiling. If we figure out how to properly decompile and recompile I think we will have a working solution or maybe I'm just wrong here. What do you think?

BTW. I decompiled the int'l version and both lines were removed from Ringer$1.smali.

invoke-virtual {v1, v5, v3, v4}, Landroid/media/AudioManager;->setStreamVolume(III)V

invoke-virtual {v1, v5, v2, v4}, Landroid/media/AudioManager;->setStreamVolume(III)V

I've been using apk manager version 4.9 from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7800416

[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
Good to know about both lines being removed in the international version. So when you recompile and decompile your script doesn't change. Couple of questions. What are you using to edit the script? And are the edits saved if you reopen the file after you've edited it? When you recompile the apk, are you keeping any of the data from the original apk, or recompiling the entire thing?

For editing I recommend notepas plus, free app, google it. Much better than a standard text editor.

Ginger Clone's of the World Unite! Via the XDA App
[Vibrant General] MoWeb:
I'm using UltraEdit to modify the ringer file. Yes the edits are there after I save the file. When recompiling I answer yes to add files I didn't edit from the "KEEP" folder. I don't see a smali folder in the "KEEP" folder. Do you think this is why it changes back? Remember I'm using apk manager 4.9 to do everything but edit the ringer file.
[Vibrant General] MoWeb:
Here is the int'l file if you want to compare it. I put an "I" in the name to keep it different.
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
I'm using apkmanager 4.9 as well. Although I'm not at my pc right now, I've been testing this all week and have not forgotten one bit. I've even had an android app writer at work take a look at the process and scripting we are playing with here, and he didn't have much to offer beyond whats been done. I do know that when the apk is compiled, the folders you see when its decompiled are inside the files that the keep folder is showing us. Basically, the smali folder among others are compiled into the files you see in the keep function. This is where I dont know which one of those files contains the smali folder. My instinct in recompiling is to not keep any of the original apk, accept the signature which apkmanager seems to do on its own for system apps, and recompile everything in the projects folder that you decompiled in the first place. Try this out and do the script check, I noticed my own scripts stayed edited when not keeping any original files, but still didn't fix the ringing. And I really think 0 compression is the way to go, the only compression that makes an apk of similar size to the original.

Ginger Clone's of the World Unite! Via the XDA App
[Vibrant General] MoWeb:
The size of the original Phone.apk is 2,484 KB and my edit Phone.apk is 3.342 KB. I used 0 compression but it force closes everything. I didn't expect the size to be larger. I've been looking at the log file created by apk manager after every attempt and I always see the same errors. If you get a chance and know about these error can you give some advice. A google search did nothing to help me. Attached log here.
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
Well MoWeb, I'm dead in the water right now. Going out of town again for the weekend, holidays are always busy for me, so I probably won't have time again until next week to try to play with this. The size of the apk comes out larger, yes, but when I used compression level 9, the apk came out about 12mb. And in the i9000 forums they state use level 0, and I also remember a recommendation to remove the classes.dex from the keep folder, and keep everything else, read that late last night. I tried to check out the log you posted, but unrar and sufbs can't unarchive that rar file on my phone, which as you can see is where I've been posting from since yesterday. As I stated, its just bad timing for me. I will be checking back from my phone, but won't be doing any apk edits until next week. I'm sure your going to push forward from here, and I'm more than happy to do what I can from my phone until I get back to town.
