Hi guys!
I have found really easy guide how to remove annoying "data traffic" notification in our Xperia's. It's written for X10 and other phones, but it's working perfectly on my rooted Xperia S with ICS
Original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371117
--------------------------
Requirements:
- Rooted phone
- ICS or GB firmware (not sure if it's working on GB)
- Root Explorer or other file manager (with root support)
With some localizations this notification is appeared only when cell data is disabled and can be cleared, with some other localizations this notification is displayed whenever cell data is enabled or disabled and can't be cleared.
You can activate/deactivate this notification for enabled and disabled data traffic and switch on/off ability to clear this notification.
All settings are in /system/etc/customization/settings/com/android/phone/custom_settings.xml file.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<settings version="1">
<setting key="data-connection-except-mms-can-clear-icon" runtime="false">[COLOR="Red"]true[/COLOR]</setting>
[COLOR="Red"] <setting key="data-connection-except-mms-show-icon-when-enabled" runtime="false">false</setting>
<setting key="data-connection-except-mms-show-icon-when-disabled" runtime="false">true</setting>[/COLOR]
</settings>
(You need to add red coloured lines and change "false" value in third line to "true")
Settings are self-explanatory.
Some localized ROM don't have phone/ directory or custom_settings.xml file. If you don't have this file, then you Xperia will defaults to quoted settings. In that case you can just create /system/etc/customization/settings/com/android/phone/ directory and put attached xml in it.
Thanks!
Just created the directory, copied the attached.xml, changed permissions rw-rw---- and rebooted.... After that.... annoying notification disappear!
Keep good work!

This gives me hope that we can get rid of the very annoying "Please unplug your charger" notification.
Not working on my Xperia S.
My fw is .452, and there was no "phone" folder.
I created it, copied the file and restarted twice.

If you are rooted it's just an APK to delete in system/app but I don't remember the name since I've deleted it...

use any root uninstaller and uninstall something like "unplugchargernotifier.com"
i can`t remember exactley wich was the correct name of the aplication but it should look like i mentioned!!
Edit:Here you go...that you should uninstall/delete "SemcUnplugChargerReminder.apk"
use a root explorer,go to system/app and delete it
or use a root uninstaller from market!
Awesome! Works! Thank you!

You have to copy it to /system/etc/customization/settings/com/android/phone/. Also, don't forget to restart the phone.

You need to create all the sub-folders if you dont have it by default.
/system/etc/customization/settings/com/android/phone/
then paste the file without rename and set permissions......then reboot

Doesn't work on Xperia GO with ICS 4.0.4, unfortunately.

Tried on .50 Xperia S firmware and didn't work for me either. Also seemed as though it broke the data connection and stopped it from working...it also added a message whenever I tried to turn on data "am I sure I want to turn on data, I might be charged, blah blah blah".

Ok, I rooted and remapped the keyboard, and ti works fine, however, in order to get rid of the ugly language bar in landscape mode, I unchecked "default input settings" in the settings and.... they keyboard started acting as finnish/swedish again! When I checked "default input settings" - it reverted to normal. Is there any other file to edit?
ive got teh same problem
hmm since its still trying to grab qwerty-se-fi....what if we replace that with the qwerty-en.xml.
nope no dice
Any other ideas where the keyboard layout might be hiding?
if you uncheck the default input, the system uses the qwerty.kcm.bin file in /system/usr/keychars folder.
to get that replaced by the english layout you have to copy the qwerty-en.kcm.bin file from the /system/usr/keychars/mimmi/keyprints folder up into the /system/usr/keychars folder and save it as the qwerty.kcm.bin file.
i have read this somewhere on the x10 forum. i can't find the topic at the moment.
as i mentioned in another thread, the paths are from android 1.6. they might be different on 2.1.

You didn´t understand. This is easy, and everyobody does it. The problems start when you untick the default entry method in keyboard properties. Read carefully first post.
any updates?

I downgraded to 1.6 German and will wait for official release. Having a Swedish layout on a German keyboard using English for typing is too much for my poor brains. Meanwhile since you ar on 2.1 can you check the idea below?

I strongly suspect that this file will be the same in 1.6 . So what I will try to do - save this file from a german version of 1.6, flash nordic, and install the file from german version.
PS - tested it works.
great!works!
thanks everyone!

Don´t forget that we will have to repeat this monkey business after every upgrade!
On the other note - I see here people of all nations, from all corners of the world rapidly and efficiently working together and solving all kinds of problems and I ask myself why it doesn´t happen offline in the real life. Makes me really sad.

Why not do it yourself? There is plenty of TUT's around that help you decompile and recompile apks.

I tried but when i recompile it & push it in system\app with proper permission, after rebooting phone it stuck bootlogo..
The same happens when i tried to decompile DefaultThemes.apk & MusicWidget.apk they both were not installed...
then i searched & found that we have to compress the resources.arc blablablaaa... & signing with recompiling system apk..
Still after giving a lot of tries i dont understand how to use signing & compress resources.arc blablaballl idk..
If you know than may be you can teach
Rebooted my phone 100z of time to check every method i found but no success
Now i dont wana harm my phone, rebooting it again & again for the things that isn't working for me...
See this thread, i asked on xda but people aren't explaining properly, they just stop answering after certain question:crying:

Well, I am a bit on the busy side.... I assume you didn't try my tool then?
To do this manually, you need to first recompile your apk after you've done all your changes. You already know this bit.
Then:
Make a copy of the old apk
Use 7zip to open both the copy and the recompiled apk
Drag the 'res' folder from the recompiled apk to the copy
Close the copy
Extract 'resources.arsc' from the recompiled apk
Add 'resources.arsc' to the copy, selecting 'STORE' compression
Close the recompiled apk
Open the copy and check that resources.arsc has the same size and packed size
Reboot the phone and go into recovery
Mount the /system partition
Push the apk straight to the right folder
Unmount the /system partition
Reboot the phone
Wait for it all to load
Wait a bit longer
Wait a bit longer still
And you're done.
If you've pulled the app from the phone to a Windows PC then you don't need to worry about permissions. That's only when you copy the app to your sdcard or pull the app using Linux.
Going into recovery might not be needed. Pushing system apps while the phone is running can cause some nasty bugs so I always use recovery just to play it safe. You'll need to reboot most of the time anyway to see the changes you've made.
Instead of pushing, you could make a flashable zip. As an amazing coincidence, Tickle My Android can do that too.

Thank you brother i will try it
and yes i have your tool too, it helped me to restore system fonts when i messed with it & had a bootloop:victory:
Great tool:good:
BTW can i use winrar instead of 7zip?
Where is 'STORE' compression can be found in winrar?
How to check that resources.arsc has the same size ( same size compared to with file? ) and packed size?

Excellent. I'm glad it helped.
Technically, you could use any archival program but it has to be one that lets you add files to an archive without compressing them. I find 7zip to be fairly quick and user-friendly. Plus, it's free which is always a good thing.

I don't know. I don't even know if winrar can do it. That's why I suggested using 7zip instead.
To check sizes, just open the app (again, this is using 7zip) and look at the numbers to the right of resources.arsc. One is the original size of the file, the other is the size it's been compressed to. These need to be the same.

Edit : I tried this but when ever i put it back to sdcard and look at it the app loses its icon ( just a green android logo ) and when i put it in syste\app with proper permission & then restart it doesn't install and even i tried to install as normal apk then it says parse problem..
What i am doing wrong i followed the same procedure above & also the size of resources is same.

I got your pm asking me to reply to this. I do most of my android modding stuff during spare moments at work because I don't have the time at home so I'd have gotten round to answering this in time.
I'm not sure what you're doing wrong here. Since you're got my tool installed, try using that first. If that works, then we know that there's something going wrong with the manual procedure and we can fix it.
If it doesn't work, then there's something wrong with the mod you're doing and we need to fix that instead.

To be honest, I don't know how to change the name of an app. It's something I've never done before.
I suspect that you've gotten the mod wrong somewhere but unfortunately I can't advise on where that could be.
Sorry, mate.
This is not my work..i found it on another site
-Download the .Zip archive wich contains the needed files from
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ej2nryn3pilemvx/Google%20NOW%20package.zip
-Extract it to your pc
-Use Root Explorer or something similar
-Copy the three folders from extracted archive on your sd card
-Copy Velvet.apk from the "app" folder to system/app and set the permissions to rw-r--r--
-Copy the lib files from the "lib" folder and paste them to system/lib(set the permissions to every file to rw-r--r--)
-Copy and paste usr/srec from the Google Now Package to system/usr/srec and set the permissions to rw-r--r-- for every file in every folder!
-Reboot and it should work
This it will also change the Google search bar to the Jelly Bean look
Works great... But i had to reaname the "Valvet.apk" to: "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk"
(before I renamed the already existing "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk" in system/app to "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk.bak")
Hey there... For some reason i cant changer the permission of the folder to rw-r--r--.
Each time i change the folder's permission to that all the files in that particular folder is missing...

Now open root explorer and go to:
Data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases.
You will see a file called "settings.ab"
You need to move this to your sd card - anywhere will do, your going to 've moving it back soon.
Open it up and go to secure and find "tether_dun_required" and set the value to "0"
Once done move it back to its original place :- data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
Change the permissions to RW RW RW
Now reboot and bobs your uncle. Drsankets your saviour, I'm the messanger, haha you get the idea... Tether is working! Tried and confirmed by me!

But, I'll wait for some proper firmwire, like word or some fully functional one :/

Or... you can delete system\etc\customization\settings\com\android\settings\custom_settings.xml
The custom_settings are:
<setting key="tether_dun_required" runtime="false">1</setting>
<setting key="tether_dun_apn" runtime="false">TIM Web DUN,ibox.tim.it,,,,,,,,,222,01,0,dun</setting>
I have deleted those and other customizations when debranding, and in my "settings.db" i don't have anything that contains the word Tether , and i have usb tethering working

but it won't work if you delete that file after flashing, because it affects to phone on first start.
so if someone flashed ftf, only workaround is changing db.

Ok, and what will happen when you "factory restart" your phone ??
The settings.db trick wont work because of the "custom settings", and you will have to edit settings.db again,
and if you delete that custom settings.. and reset you phone, the problem is gone forever.
I tried deleting file+factory settings combination ofcourse, but didn't work on my phone.
Could somebody tell me which are the permissions for the two other files present in data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases, please? I mean settings.db-shm and settings.db-wal, please?

What exactly did you do?
1. you had tether working using your tweak...
2. HOW did you make it not working again.. did you restore the original settings.db ??
3. then... what next ??
I have a EVERYTHING working .89 only by deleting some customization's in etc.
hello fellow xda junkies!
HERE IS A SIMPLE WAY TO GET DATA TETHERING THROUGH BUILD.PROP EDIT
NOTE:MESSING WITH BUILD.PROP COULD MESS YOUR PHONE UP BE CAREFUL
Step 1.) download a text editor.i suggest 920 text editor.
Step 2.) you will also need an root explorer so download that also.
Step 3).open up your root explorer and navigate to system/build.prop. and copy that file to another directory. i.e example sdcard/download.then rename
original build.prop file to build.prop.bak
Step 4).open up your text editor and navigate to the directory where you copied the build.prop file
Step 5.)look for this line [they are both close to the end of the build.prop file] "net.tethering.nonprovisioning=true" [once you find it change the true
to false] so it reads "net.tethering.nonprovisioning=false" NOTEDO NOT TYPE THE QUOTATION MARKS!!!
Step 6.) " look for line "persist.data.tethering_oc=1" change the variable 1 to 0 so it reads "persist.data.tethering_oc=0
Step 7.) move the build.prop file that you copied and edited from location you placed it in to its rightful spot in system/.change permissions to rw--r--r
reboot phone and your good to go!works on my vs985 LIKE A CHAMP.

Just checking.
I'm a tinkerer also which is how I figured out the thermal throttling.
Nice to met you.

Actually not.
Instead of trying to stop the thermal mitigation from working I did just the opposite, I changed the parameters on how it operates.
The file /system/etc/thermal-engine-8974.conf.
This file controls what happens to cpu speed at various temperatures.
That is what you tweak and it just works.
I also used ROM Toolbox to change the governor.

Thank you but...
First of all, thanks for the post. Although I appreciate the helpful post, my phone is now stuck in boot loop . I hate to be the one to open up an old thread but I'm freaking out at the moment due to brick fever :crying: My current setup was a rooted LG G3 VS98512b. My goal was simple, I didn't want to do anything crazy, I just wanted to enable wifi tether now I'm afraid I've lost everything... Is there a way I can get back into the storage of my phone and delete the modified build.prop, remove the ".bak" from the original and be back to the good life? Any assistance is greatly appreciated, this seemed like such a simple modification that led to such a big headache.
It sounds like you might have used an editor on your build.prop that could not handle the file size, resulting in your editted build.prop being truncated. Otherwise, maybe your permissions were left wrong. Either of these will cause your phone to bootloop.

Thanks for the reply. I used the editor recommended in the tutorial, 920 text editor. I followed the instructions word for word, I don't know what the problem is. Maybe its because I have the newest update and this mod was for 10b???As far as the permissions, the phone asked automatically if I wanted to change the permissions. The original build.prop is still there... is there a way I can delete the modified build.prop and replace it with the original? I really wish I would not have followed this tut, it didn't seem like a popular method. There has to be a way to delete the modified build.prop right?

Yes you can reflash the firmware or if you don;t want to restore to stock you can use ADB to fix the files and restore your .bak

Again, thank you for the response. Do you recommend a specific method or tutorial for trying restore the original build.prop? I did search however, because this scenario is so specific I'm not sure there is an exact solution to my problem.
Again, just in case someone else can chime in, I followed the instructions on the first post of this thread (see first post for detailed info). I copied the original build.prop then changed the name of the original build.prop, edited the copy, moved it to the original directory and restarted the phone. Now my phone doesn't make it to the Verizon screen (I think it is stuck in boot loop), the screen stays black and the small led on the left corner flashes blue and green. If I can just get access to the storage I can replace the modified build.prop with the original that is still in the same directory just renamed. It seems like such an easy task but, I just don't know how to go about it I'm a somewhat of an old school tinker, I'm just now getting back into the swing of Android... Thanks in advance!!

Bump please
This is crazy... I changed 2 values in build.prop for tethering and my phone wont boot now... I didnt install a ROM, change DPI, or make any major changes WTF???
Do you have a custom recovery (twrp)?
Can you connect to your phone with adb?
If you have twrp, search the board for the startup hardware key sequence to reach twrp, else from adb do a reboot recovery.
In twrp, you can select to mount system, then go to advanced - file manager. You can delete the bad build.prop, rename the good one, then set the permissions on the good one. If your good copy of build.prop is on a PC, put it on a flash drive, and use twrp's file manager to get it into your phone.
If you have a saved copy of build.prop on your PC, you can also use adb's push command. (You may also want to look at the adb shell command. The sequence might be to open a shell, delete the bad build. prop, get the right build.prop into the right directory, then chmod the right build.prop so it has the proper permissions.)
