[Q] Photon use in Europe... - Motorola Photon 4G

I have a Sprint Photon in Europe. Latest rom, 198_7.
The Sprint network search at every boot is killing me. It does not remember "GSM/UMTS only" settings.
I would need a non-Sprint factory stock rom, OR a way to delete Sprint's app(s).
What is the best way?

install root explorer and rename the following file from the system folder / app:
SprintOMADMConnMOPlugin.apk
SprintOMADMConnMoPlugin.odex

ok "root explorer" is not a free application, is there is a free alternative that can do this, like "file explorer" and do i need to be rooted?

use Super Manager is free application

yes, you need to be rooted to delete from system/app.

thanks
thanks for all the advice, i have used 1-click-root method, then with Titanium i have uninstalled ALL Sprint applications, and even deleted the 2 files (this was not needed anymore though). The last step was done with Total Commander's Android version, using its ability to remount the system partition in rw mode.
The MoPho runs great, boots fast, remembers network settings, Wifi, all is great!
I wish there would be a stock unlocked ICS rom in the (near) future...

@jedighost, where in Europe are you? I have not had Photon over there, but my HTC Fuze with AT&T worked like a charm!!! Heathrow, Stockholm, and Helisiniki have VodaPhone in Airport. I would get local SIM for $140SEK ($20.00+USD?) and I was off.
Interesting to know if that would work with Photon. Sydney has it too, but I never tried Fuze. I was pissed I had to do 1.5 hour Conference Call with Amprior Canada at 1 or 2 AM. That bill total was $1800.00+USD (also, no one told me to cut off Data, so my weather, stocks, and news back home for 3 weeks too!) Expensed it!

I'm sure it would work. I'm in Hungary, and the Photon works as expected with local SIM cards. Not activated at Sprint after putting on the latest rom, just started using it with local SIM.

Reinstalling MobiTV

Hi! I have a tmo Vibrant running a custom rom. I need to reinstall MobiTV so that I can cancel the subscription. I downloaded the apk from this thread:

and the app seems to run. However, it complains that it is "Unable to authorize user". Anyone have an approach to resolving this problem? Thanks!

Why don't you nandroid your current setup, use odin to flash back to stock. Cancel subscription. Root, download rom manager, and nandroid your backup? If subscription will not cancel when flashed to stock, before root again. Call tmobile tell them you dont want the subscription anymore, and you did a delete user data and now it wont let you. Chances are you will speak to 5 different reps until you get to atsg and a trouble ticket will be sent to the core fault isolation team to manually cut the subscription.

Right! Which is why I went to the trouble of pushing MobiTV back onto the phone in the first place. Calling tmo is a final option, but it seems that it should be possible to authenticate the app. I am, after all, really me.
So. I noticed that MobiTV is trying to authenticate to ATT. Duh! The apk that I installed is from a Capitivate, not a Vibrant. Anyone have a MobiTV apk from tmo?
I had to reinstall it as well (same reason!). Look for a thread that has all of the stock Vibrant APK's, I believe that was where I found it.

Download this rom, and extract on your computer. Should be in the system/app

This is solved. Once I figured out what my stupid mistake was, I got on the right track. I actually pulled the apk out of a different stock Vibrant rom, but the process was the same. The app is now running. Thanks for the help!

Got root, need help with superuser

I rooted my Eris using the one click root apk. Now I can't get super user to work. I may be going about this the wrong way, (went from bb to eris and never rooted till today) I'm trying to uninstall the junk apps verizon foists on you. I.E. Amazon, Visual vm, and so on. How do I do this?
Did some poking around. Apparently S-on is what I need to disable? Enable flash or NAND access? Is this right, and if so, how do I do this?
Having S-On shouldn't matter. If you're looking to have access to NAND, you should already have access to it if you're rooted. There is a walk through for getting to S-Off (or engineering mode) if you want to go through it however.

All I want is to remove the stock apps like visual voice mail, amazon and twitter. I ran out of space on my phone this morning and I want to free up some space and look into running applications off the SD card instead of the phone memory.
Okay. All you should need is an app explorer. Then find the file folder the apps are in. SYSTEM->Apps. Then change the folder to rewritable (should be an option towards the top) and delete the apps you want and the files that go along with them. You may have to reboot for the effects to occur. If that doesn't work there is also a walk through to remove them through ADB. Just search for it in the forums. It's quite popularly visited I believe.

[Q] Manual GB upgrade?

Unfortunately, I was one of the few that got left behind when VZW pulled the update. I really want to update, even with the VM bug and everything. I came across this guide on how to manually upgrade to GB but I noticed it said it completely wipes my phone. Now I know Backup Assistant saves my contacts, my music is on my SD card so I'm not too worried about that. I'm afraid I might lose app data suchas all the hours and HOURS I put into Angry Birds Rio to get 3 stars on every level. Can anyone help me find a way to fully save all of my app data before I manually upgrade? BTW I've never rooted and I'm on stock Froyo
Do you plan on rooting? If so use the Revolutionary method it works great and there are plenty of How To guides to step you through it. As far as backing up your Angry Birds, Titanium Backup works very well. However, you do need root access for that app to work. The free version will do what your looking for. The pro version adds a couple nice features if you are going to play around with some different ROMs.

My backup pro will work
I'm still fairly new to the root world. I don't know or have not read of any way to back up your apps reliably without root access. Titanium backup, and Mybackup Pro are the 2 most common apps used to make back ups. There might be more? Titanium requires root, where Mybackup claims to have some functionality without root access.
From mybackup pro's website:
Key facts about MyBackup Pro:
Works on non-root phones, as well as root phones.
Root phones have the ability to backup APK+Data and Market Links.
Titanium has a free version that you can use that will back up your apps and all of their data. The Pro version adds a couple nice features that are handy for people that flash roms and like to change stuff around often.
Without root access Mybackup only does:
Application install files (If phone has root access, this includes APK+Data and Market Links)
Contacts
Call log
Browser bookmarks
SMS (text messages)
MMS (attachments in messages)
System Settings
Home screens (including HTC Sense UI)
Alarms
Dictionary
Calendar
Music playlists
Integrated third party applications
Not really what you want. Since you would lose your angry birds data and spend hours trying to gain 3 stars again on the levels! If you flashed the new Ruu.
It boils down to what you are comfortable doing I guess. Rooting is not for everyone. If you do not want to root you are pretty much stuck waiting on vzw and htc to get their OTA fixed and pushed back out.
Rooting is easy with Revolutionary, but you do void your warranty and open the door to being able to delete important system files. Once you root most likely you will find it hard to resist the urge to flash and try out new roms to!

Could you link me to the guide you are referring to?
I think the easiest way is to just root it. Revolutionary method is pretty easy (I hear). I used the old school ADB method (which was nerve racking for me bc I am no Android guru). The Revolutionary method is a little harder to un-root though.
Are you opposed to rooting bc of the warranty issue? After you root than you can back up all your data. I don't know of a way to back up data wo root. Plus with root access you can flash some sweet roms.
If you will link me to the guide I will try to remember to get back to you with some more thoughts

Oh yeah. that file will most certainly wipe you out and you'll have to start all over. I still haven't found a solution for backing up wo out root. Sorry.
I'm pretty sure backing up the .apk part isn't a big deal, worst case you can just redownload that. You want the DATA part backed up. The apk is just the file format android uses to install software. Like .exe in windows. (I'm pretty sure at least.)
The post from android police you linked will definitely wipe everything. If you don't make a root accessible back up you will lose all of your app data.
I totally understand the warranty concern. I held out for as long as I could. I received the OTA to GB and was very unimpressed. After hoping for months that the update would be more than what it is, I took the leap into freedom of root and made my phone what I wanted it to be.
Sounds like you should check out some new backgrounds to keep you interested in your current setup.
thepolishguy - Don't worry about it bro. Thanks for trying to help. Left you a thanks
Stratejaket - That's Exactly how I was feeling. If this GB update fix doesn't come soon, I will definitely look into rooting. Lol I was getting bored with this thing lol. Also left you a thanks for trying to help. *runs to zedge for a new background*

How to Enable Native Visual Voicemail HTC One M8

Restore Native AT&T Visual Voicemail on any ARHD ROM for the HTC One M8 (only works with AT&T carrier)
S-Off is not required (S-Off is only required if you want to update your firmware to the latest version)
Phone must obviously be unlocked and rooted
I don't recommend using v9.1 ROM, the ElementX kernal will not be updated to support 4.4.3 thus sense 6.0 toolbox homescreen swipe commands and motion gestures will not work. I read that 4.4.4 will be out soon, so no one is really investing time in custom kernals to support sense-based ROMs for 4.4.3. You can still updated your firmware to the latest version and run the 8.1 ROM. I recommend searching for the "no red text" firmware version.
Keep in mind that your Voicemails won't download when you're connected to a Wifi Network. If anyone has a fix for this please post and PM me so I can update this thread.
1) Right click "Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_8.1.zip" and select 7-Zip "Open Archive"
2) Browse to \Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_8.1.zip\system\priv-app\
3) Drop the following stock AT&T APK files
ATT_VVM3.apk (required)
HtcContacts.apk (might not be required)
HtcDialer.apk (might not be required)
Message.apk (might not be required)
Phone.apk (might not be required)
4) Browse to \Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_8.1.zip\additions\carriers\att\system\customize\ACC\
5) Extract the default.xml file to your desktop
6) Open with Notepad++
7) Scroll to the bottom
8) Set Region value to 1 (USA) <item type="integer" name="region">1</item>
9) Set Product SKU ID to 7 (ATT Model) <item type="integer" name="sku_id">7</item>
10) Save and drop the default.xml file back in \Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_8.1.zip\additions\carriers\att\system\customize\ACC\
11) Browse to \Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_8.1.zip\system\customize\ACC\
12) Drop your modified default.xml file here as well \Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_8.1.zip\system\customize\ACC\
13) Copy Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_8.1.zip to your phone and flash away!

If your phone is rooted with a custom ROM such as the Android Revolution HD by mike1986 and your visual voicemail is missing, corrupt or broken, I will teach you how to reinstall it! Note, this has only been tested on the AT&T variant of the HTC One M8.
If you're an advanced user you can use the Android SDK, Cygwin and Kitchen to modify the ROM and include the following APKs:
- Phone.apk (replacement rom, newer version)
- ATT_VVM3.apk (new rom)
- HtcContacts.apk (replacement rom, newer version)
- HtcDialer (replacement rom, newer version)
- Message (replacement rom, newer version)
There are many tutorials on this site that explain how to modify and repackage a ROM.
If you want to keep it simple here's the process.
Acquire the apps listed above. Visit my website to download the APKs, just Google Trick Master PC, or you can pull them from your Stock ROM under /system/apps and/or /system/priv-app
Drop the apps on your Internal or External SD Card
Use ES File Explorer to Mount the system directory with Read/Write Permissions
Use ES File Explorer to Install the APKs from your SD location
Use Titanium Back-up Pro (yes, you have to pay for it). Browse the list of applications and find the apps you installed, long press the app and select "Convert to system app", if you have the option to integrate into ROM select that as well.
Restart the phone and set-up your native visual voicemail functionality. This process restores full functionality with zero glitches.

I was really hoping this would work, but every time I try to open the stock visual voicemail app after following this procedure, it force closes..

Yes, that happened to me a few times at first, you have to follow the exact procedure above and you have to restart the phone. As long as your phone is the ATT variant this should work. I had to mess around with it for a while, but got it working flawlessly. Restart after installing the APKs, the use Titanium Back-up to elevate the apps to system level apps. Then restart again.
Yeah I've uninstalled the apps with titanium backup and tried the process multiple times on my ATT variant running Viper ROM to no avail.

I had the same issue. What I had to do was change the SKU to 7 and the Region to 1 in the ACC\default.xml file. This also enabled the VVM button in the phone app.
However, I now have a problem with retrieving voicemails when connected to a wireless network. If I turn off wireless, everything will work fine. When on wireless, it gives an error about mobile data not being available, but it is most definitely on. It's like the messages/vvm apps aren't being allowed to bypass the wifi to check for data.
In case it matters, I am on a stock international ROM (1.54.401.5), and I also could not get the phone.apk to install using the directions above, so I installed the applications using a flashable zip.

This works 100% on the Android Revolution HD Rom for the ATT variant. The ARHD ROM is the stock rom modified by mike1986. I'm not sure how the Viper ROM was developed ie from stock ROM or from KitKat baseline ROM.
Unless your married to Viper I would highly recommend checking out the ARHD ROM, you won't be disappointed. It's an incredible ROM.
Can confirm this works perfect on ARHD ROM by mike1986! Thanks!!! :good:

Interesting... just tried leaving a voicemail off wifi and voicemail notification went through. Turned on wifi and left a new voicemail and got no voicemail notification. Turned off wifi and refreshed voicemails and new voicemail notification showed up.
So, voicemail works with wifi off. When wifi is on, the voicemail app says there is no data and that it doesnt work over wifi.
On a positive note, transcribe to text works great!
I don't think it should be too hard to fix but then again, I am not a developer.
I have confirmed that everybody on AT&T, tmobile and sprint regardless of your phone type cannot download visual voicemails while on a wifi connection this problem is acknowledged and stated by AT&T, they even add the disclaimer alongside their visual voicemail stand alone app. Iphone users everywhere complain about this as well. Honestly, I never noticed the issue before, but of course who would ever really engage in extensive voicemail testing. Perhaps one day the carriers will solve this issue; although personally I believe it's an intentional move by the carriers to force their customers off WiFi and on to the carriers' very expensive data network. I mean we're talking about tens of millions of dollars per year in data charges just from users downloading voicemails over cellular data on a daily basis. No one in leadership at the major carriers would ever let that revenue slip away, not unless they had to address the issue to resolve competitive threats.
So in conclusion your visual voicemail is functioning perfectly as it should.

I believe this is incorrect. I never had these problems on the stock AT&T Rom. I will reflash and verify, but I am almost 100% certain it worked without issue.

Let us know what you find out, but all the research I did would suggest otherwise. ATT's standalone application for visual voicemail even has the disclaimer in the app store that says it won't work on WiFi. If it works for you please post a copy of your default.xml file \system\customize\ACC\

It did work over WiFi on the stock AT&T ROM using the built-in HTC VVM app. The app appears to be able to use the cellular data connection just like the messages app does to receive sms even when on WiFi.
I have attached the stock AT&T ACC\default.xml, but I doubt that's where the solution lies. I have tried flashing in the APKs listed above, plus the ATT AAinfo.txt, the default.xml files from ACC, CID, and MNS. I also flashed in the market.xml from the permissions folder as well as the nfcee file from the etc folder. The wireless problem still persists for me even with all of those just thrown into the ROM.
Unfortunately, that is as far as I've been able to get with this project. If anyone else has an idea, I'm willing to give it a shot.
Thanks,
JTok
I'll try to wrap my head around this problem initially I did a comparison between the default XML file and the custom ROM default XML file. The variance in the file comparison was nominal, nothing that would affect voicemail download over wifi. I'm going to use the Android development kit to run debug while I launch the visual voicemail app on a wifi connection and monitor the logs for any potential errors. Still if there are any Android developers out there who might know what the problem is it would be great if you could share it with us

If you root with kingoroot nothing will happen to your gps.. Mine works just fine. After root, use titanium backup to delete the att bloat and you will have no worries.

I understand your worries but as the above member said, you have nothing to worry about. I have the International unlocked version (Not AT&T's) and I rooted it with 'Kingo Root' 2 weeks ago and everything is fine.
So, by acquiring root, you can use Titanium Backup to disable/freeze or delete AT&T apks. Now I suggest you only freeze them first, reboot your phone, use it a bit, make sure there are no errors happening since some APKs are needed by the system for your phone to function or else it will crash and not boot-up properly. So freeze first, test your phone, if all is good, delete them. I personally only delete apks that I am sure I don't need or those that I can re-download from the Play Store if need be. The rest, I just freeze them and forget about them. They can't act on their own if they're frozen =).
Btw, you can still disable/freeze apps without root by going to System settings - More - Application manager, and swipe to "All" category, and find the ones you don't want, click on them, and then click on "Turn Off". (I still prefer Titanium Backup since it shows me all apks and freezes all of them)
got the root
Ok I got the root, so the titanium says no freeze without donating, there are a few ATT apps that show up, on the zoom which ones have you guys just removed forever???? or is there another program like titanium to remove att bloat ware???? AND A BIG THANK YOU FOR REPLYING!!!!!!!!! I am all rooted now and want to make sure if i erase apk's they are the correct ones I cant freeze. red423

Great! glad it worked out. I had an S4 prior to this and this Zoom is quicker and smoother I just miss the bigger screen + resolution and thinner body.
There's no kitkat update yet but apparently they announced it and should be out in the coming months hopefully!
