I was wondering if it's possible to change
windowsmgr.max_events_per_s?
via adb or some other way that doesn't include opening the rom up and having to re-sign it.

I added it through estrong explorer in the system/boot.prop file, last entry. Rebooted to recovery, wipe dalvik and reboot. Works fine. You need to enable root options in estrongs to modify the file... Hope that helps.

can someone help me out, if i open a downloaded rom on my desktop with winrar, click on "system" then on "app" scroll down to the mms.apk, can i remove that file and add a different mms.apk. When i do this will the mms.apk i placed in the folder be what gets flashed to my phone. I am currently using auxora 2.2 and its a great rom i tried eugenes gingerbread clone and i am at a loss becuase i am very partial to the stock vibrant mms app so if i could add the mms app that i downloaded to his rom and remove whats currently there.
any feedback is appreciated
thanks!
"salbanys" on twitter!
i asked this question last week here and the short answer is yes.
although its worked a couple times for me with different roms,i've been trying it on axura 2.2 (removing lots of apps i dont use) and now when i go to flash it, recovery says it can not open sd/axura22ve (bad). so i guess its yes and no.
if anyone has any hints on why it wont flash after editing, pleaase help. i delete all apk's in data/app and some stuff in system/app.
edit: i also move launcherpro.apk out of data/app and move it to system/app and delete launcher2.apk, is that doable?
Thank you for the reply I was trying to pull the mms file from auxora and. Add it to eugenes gb clone but when. I removed eugenes mms apk and added the auxora mms apk it wouldn't allow some failure in the zip file so I've been searching for a good post on using root explorer found one and followed but still no luck so if anyone reads this any help would be appreciated

Usually 1 app is connected to another one so its hard to tell if something else will or will not work without it.

Hey guys, just jumped from WB3.7 to 4.0, I also flashed the XLoud and Bravia patch. Unfortunately I've lost the stock messaging app. It's definitely not just the shortcut but while asp that's missing, as I get an FC when I attempt to text from phone book
Can someone point me to anywhere I can download the messaging app from, I'm hoping to flash through xrec, and download straight to phone. Cheers gents
maybe u can try to get WB 5, check it out! He just released
Search on your rom flashable zip, open it with winRar and find on system-app, search for nessaging.apk or conversation.apk, then extract it and move it to your sd card.
Then copy to system/app using root explorer (dont forget to change system permission to r/w) and change permission to rw- r-- r--.
Reboot.

I used root explorer to move some system apk & its corresponding odex file from /system/apk to sdcard. I rebooted and found that I have moved some essential app like the stock dialer (it wasn't possible to figure out from the apk name). So now the dialer was gone. I then moved them back from sdcard to /system/app using root explorer thinking that it would undo the mess.
However the apps didn't come back, for example the dialer. The phone still tells me that there is no dialer.
What do I need to do?
Maybe you copied framework or something that dialler need to work... Try put bac all files. If that doesn't help see if the dialer is inn apps.

I didn't move anything from any other directory. I moved back each and every file to /system/app that I had moved from it earlier. Still no luck.
I didn't delete anything in this process. I don't see dialer in app drawer either.
Reboot?

Yes, you are so right.
The apk permissions have screwed up after all the moving. I issued ls -l command in adb shell and this is what I found out.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3973 May 7 2012 HTMLViewer.apk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8784 May 7 2012 HTMLViewer.odex
----rwxr-x 1 system sdcard_r 562553 Feb 9 04:31 LatinIME.apk
----rwxr-x 1 system sdcard_r 327896 Feb 9 04:31 LatinIME.odex
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14569 May 7 2012 LiveWallpapersPicker_gles20.apk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21392 May 7 2012 LiveWallpapersPicker_gles20.odex
LatinIME.apk is the keyboard with screwed up permission.
Now how do I fix it? What command do I issue?
fix permissions in recovery. or in connectbot or another shell program:
chown root:root /system/app/*.apk /system/app/*.odex
chmod 644 /system/app/*.apk /system/app/*.odex
reboot
You can also change permissions in Root Explorer itself. Hold down on the files, choose permissions and tick the first column and the first box of the second one. Leave the rest blank and press ok. That's it. If it still doesn't show, reboot. Fixing permissions in recovery does exactly this, but for all files in /system/app, /data/app and /data/data. Every time you copy something to /system or /data, you have to set the right permissions. Either in a root explorer app, adb shell, terminal emulator or fixing permissions in recovery.
LatinIME is the stock Android keyboard btw.

Issued the above commands. They all now show the same as others and are back.
Unfortunately the dialer still doesn't appear. Which apk is the dialer? My phone has gingerbread.

You are right. LatinIME is the keyboard. That too had got screwed up. But by changing permission, now its back.
However as I mentioned above the dialer is still absent. Under all applications, the dialer shows up. But not in drawer.
Is there any android application or windows tool to help identify which apk corresponds to which android application. Some apk files have no bearing to the actual application name. Hence all this mess happened.
Well if you open the apps folder in a root explorer, the icons of all the apps will show. So you can identify from there. It works this way in Solid Explorer for me. Also in system apps most of the apps are named according to what they are. Example, dialer is Phone.apk, contacts are Contacts.apk etc. For other Play Store downloaded apps, which names starting with com.xxxxx, you can see their icons too.
Dialer is Phone.apk in Gingerbread. The screenshot I've put below is of the /system/app folder in Solid Explorer. I think even Root Explorer shows icons like that.

I can see two apks in my phone with dialer icon.
Phone.apk (& Phone.odex)
TelephonyProvider.apk (& TelephonyProvider.odex)
How do I get back the dialer? This is a dual sim phone and only the stock dialer gives the option to select sim before dialing. None of the market dialers provide this option.
phone.apk is the file.
I like using fix permissions from recovery. it fixes every permission within few seconds.

I have a backup. Unfotunately, I took a backup after messing up. So after re-flashing it with the backup, it boots in the messed up state.
I downloaded one gingerbread Phone.apk yesterday. I renamed the Phone.apk and Phone.odex in my phone to Phone.apk.bak & Phone.odex.bak. Then copied the downloaded Phone.apk to /system/app. Then fixed permissions via recovery and rebooted.
To my horror, not only did the dialer didn't appear, but also the phone wouldn't detect the sim cards. It would say no connection available...
So Phone.apk is affecting other stuff too. So I deleted the new Phone.apk and renamed the .bak to its original names, fixed permissions via recovery and rebooted. The phone still wouldn't detect the sim cards.
Then I went back to recovery, cleared Dalvik cache & user data, and performed clear data & factory reset. After reboot, the phone started detecting the sim cards again.
So this leads me to believe that something else other than permissions has a role to play.
PLEASE READ
This mod ONLY applies to UNLIMITED USERS who DO NOT have tethering on their plan
This mod DOES NOT apply to SHARE EVERYTHING plans
I took a peak over at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/help/g3-hotspot-hack-t2812305 and saw that there were issues with using the G2 apk. I decided to take a looksy at it and see if I can replicate the functionality of the G2 apk with out having to re-apply settings to turn on tethering.
I have always had issues using root explores and database explorers messing up permissions and causing boot loops so until I have a proper recovery I use the android terminal emulator. Many people here have had plenty of success using file explores so give it a shot if you like!
Skip down to the bottom for a video walkthrough created by { owenbeals aka DroidModderX}
First things first you will need root!
0.) Start a root shell
Code:
su
1.) mount the system partition for read and write access
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
2.) Rename stock files HotspotProvision.apk and HotspotProvision.odex to something memorable. I use .bak and .bakdex
Code:
cd /system/app
mv HotspotProvision.apk HotspotProvision.bak
mv HotspotProvision.odex HotspotProvision.bakdex
3.) Now copy over the new file, can be the root of the extSD card which is /storage/external_SD/HotspotProvisionVzG3.apk
Code:
cp /storage/external_SD/HotspotProvisionVzG3.apk .
4.) The last thing is to change permissions to 644 (RW- R-- R-- for you file browsy types )
Code:
chmod 644 HotspotProvisionVzG3Mod.apk
5.) Now reboot and enjoy your glitch free hotspot action!
You must reboot! Do not try to "install" it, it does not function like that.
N.B.
Some users have noted that their cpu governors change to Performance while the hotspot is on and change back to On Demand when off instead of normal Interactive. This is the stock behaviour of the kernel, and not a bug introduced by this mod.

You have change something every time you use it.
The modded apk works perfectly. I used root explorer to do it though. I renamed the original files, copied your apk to system/app, renamed it to HotSpotProvision.apk, fixed the permissions and rebooted.

Pretty cool. I'll have to give this a try when I'm bored later on today at work. Could you explain what you actually did to the hotspot apk though?
One thing though - why not just append ".bak" to the end of the existing filename/extension? That way, you don't lose the original extension so you can't forget what it was. It works fine. That's what I always do. In other words, your files would end in ".apk.bak" and ".odex.bak". The system only sees the extension after the final period.

How do you launch tethering after moving, renaming, and re-permissioning the apk? I've tried to launch from Settings app but nothing happens.
The downloaded apk he modded is named differently from the original one in the system/app folder. After I changed the names for the original files in system/app. I changed the name of the modded apk to match the original apk in system/app. I copied the renamed modded apk to system/app, set the permissions correctly, then rebooted. I went into Settings then More... under wireless networks,Mobile HotSpot and changed the SSID and password. I can turn it on via settings or the quick setting in the notification bar.

I'd guess for it to work from stock menus (i.e. without starting the apk directly from a file browser app or terminal emulator) you'd have to rename it the same as the stock apk so that the path is the same for the various apps that would call it.

So I have renamed it exactly as the original apk was and rebooted but still no go. On reboot I get a force close of VZWAWSService. I have some of the system bloat frozen, maybe this has something to do with it.

Did you reboot?
There should be no reason to rename the apk. When android installs applications it goes into the /data... Dir as the package name. All intents are handled via package names therefore the apk name is inconsequential.
To use you should be able to go settings > more and see all the tethering options.
To verify placement and permissions use
Code:
su
ll /system/app/Hotspot*
You should see your two backup files and the new HotspotProvisionVzG3Mod.all
Permissions should be rw-r--r--
Let me know if you still have issues.
I will post a DIY response so that people who want to learn about the modification can play along at home. Think of it as source code for this mod:good:

Thanks for the detailed response, I got it working now. I had previously frozen some of the bloat on the phone when I got it and one of the apps I froze was the lgemobilehotspotui.apk which is needed to work correctly. Thanks for all the help from the awesome devs here.
Nice work, thanks. I just installed it with Root Explorer, and it worked perfectly. Just have to do it to the wife's phone, now.
Well done. Working great!
Thanks! Works perfect. And now I can use the toggle on the drop down menu to activate the hotspot. Thanks so much.
Worked
Worked perfectly for me. Used ES file explorer to move the files around.
I have downloaded, changed permissions, changed the file names to .bak but when I try to install the nodded split says application not installed. I'm using root explorer. I did have the othe mod installed and deleted it first. Wondering if that is the problem
Edit...Stopped trying to install and just rebooted and it turns on just fine, and my laptop connects...the app shows it connected and listed as an approved device...yet I'm not able to actually get a a connection.

Thanks! Works like a champ.
works great!
I'm also getting the VZWARSService has stopped message, and when I go into settings and turn on the hotspot, nothing happens. If I go into mobile hotspot and turn it on from there, I get this message: Unfortunately, com.lge.mobilehotspot.ui has stopped. Followed the directions exactly, so I'm not sure what's going on.
Works perfectly. I used Root Explorer to rename and move everything. Thanks!
Worked like a charm the only thing is still changes the cpu governor to performance the g2 one did it to I don't know if someone is able to fix that
It's just when I turn on the hotspot afterwards I use android tuner and change it back to interactive
Does anyone else have this issue
