Verizon Visual Voice Mail Galaxy S4 Custom ROM
Ok. I figured it out.
Yes, its all over the place, but certainly not in any usable form.
So for the benefit of other noobs, like myself, here is what I am running, and what I did.
I have a galaxy s4, currently running Hyperdrive ROM v 7.
I was able to download the VisualVoiceMail.apk file from somewhere on this site. If you cannot locate it, send me a pm and I will be happy to email it.
Also, as always, its a good idea to have a nandroid backup that is fairly recent just in case things go sideways on you.
Second, after reading many different posts, none having anything in specific with a Galaxy S4, I downloaded Root Browser from Google Play.
Next, i had the apk file in my devices download directory.
Using Root Browser, browse to the devices system/app directory and view the permissions of 1 or 2 apps. You can view the permissions by holding down on the app and a menu will pop up and select permissions. View those permissions and copy them down.
Next using Root Browser, browse to the voice mail apk file, and hold down on the file until the menu pops up and make sure the permissions here are identical to the apps you previously viewed. I had to change one or two. save changes.
Next, copy the file to the devices system/app directory using Root browser.
Next reboot.
The app should appear in your app drawer and you should be good to go.

Verizon Visual Mail file
just in case, I have attached file if anyone needs.

Can I make an app into an apk file to send it?

As most of you may know, the music download apps on the market mainly suck. Well about 5 months ago I found one called cloud mp3 down loader. Its the best one I've ever downloaded but its now not available on the markets. The link is there but the download is invalid. Is there anyway I can send it to my girlfriends non rooted note? I'm running the collectives cp1 and she can rarely find the songs she wants.

If you have it installed, it's already an apk, just go to /data/app find the apk of the app you're looking for, it will most likely have a name like com.(developer).(app name).apk
Just copy that into your sdcard, rename if you desire, upload that to some place (drop box works fantastically for this purpose) then just send her the link.
Super simple.
Two options I know:
1. AppSaver from the market will let you save your app into an .apk that you can send her. I usually do this with bluetooth.
2. ESfile Explorer lets you back up an app and share the backup. My partner does it this way.
Sometimes I have had success googling "download for blobbidydo.apk" and have found the app that way.
I hope this is what you needed.

requires root
and deodexed maybe?
+1 for dropbox. I use it all the time. You absolutely don't need to be rooted on the other end to do this. Just long press the app in file explorer and share it to your dropbox account.

He said he was running the Collectives Rom...therefore he would be rooted...allowing him access to the data/app folder. Deodex has nothing to do with this. Root is only needed on his end. She can then download and install without root...but before you can correct me...she would need "install from unknown sources" selected.

I know your pain. But I bought a 32gig card and spent an evening copying all the old 8 and 16 gig card to folders on my pc (using an adaptor card and not through the phones and tablets) then merged everything into one folder and put that on the 32. By your screen name I'm seeing you have at least three cards to comb through!
Don't empty the recycle bin on your pc for at least a week after.

GPe/CM10.1 Question

I am currently using an AT&T HTC One with the GPe ROM on it. I sideloaded the CM10.1 Messaging apk and moved it into system/apps.
My only issue is, even I turn on Emoji's, I can receive them but the smiley face next to where you enter text (to access the Eomji's) is strangely missing. Any idea why?
EDIT: I suppose it was an incomplete apk. I downloaded one from someone else and my issue was fixed.

Here's what I did, it worked perfectly.
1. Sideload the CM10 app (Google it, easy to find the apk)
2. Download Root Explorer
3. Within Root Explorer, find system/app
4. Rename "Mms.apk" to "Mms.apk1"
5. Rename "Mms.odex" to "Mms.odex1"
6. Go to your downloads and find the CM10 Mms.apk file and copy/move it into system/apps
7. Set permissions
8. Restart device and you're good to go!

[Q] tether verizon 4.3 build mk2

Just rooted my Verizon galaxy S4. Pain in the ars compared to the Droids that I've had for the past 6 years. Maybe just different.Not really interested in changing out Rom, but really need to have tether. I have unlimited and use about 16 gbs per month for business. I know that there's a thread on xda for tehter, but its somewhat old and can't see anyone that's used it or applied it for the MK2 build. Have tried numerous WiFi apps on market and none work. Also the.the thread on xda is somewhat over my head. Anything else out there. Hows this, since I don't do this for a living and don't have the patience to do the tether package ...theres 50.00 bucks to help me get tether and to understand it a little better. Use to change the entitlement on the droids and had tether, but the process on the galaxy is stumping me. let me know

This is the part that's beyond me. I know it must be frustrating to deal with us out here, but any and all help is very much appreciated.
1.Download the modded framework-res.apk from here for MJ7 or here for MK2 then copy it to /system first then change framework-res.apk's permissions to rw-r--r-- (chmod 644) and then MOVE it to /system/framework and overwrite framework-res.apk. Then reboot and you should have tethering!
Do I do a direct download to the phone? or or to desktop and than to system. and so on. again any help is appreciated This is why I go to YouTube and have a 8th grader show me how to do it. Kind of embarrassing for a guy that's in his fifties. But than again my work and what I do for a living is beyond allot of people...Thanks

I'm on MK2 with Surge's tether. I found it much easier to unpack the zip on my desktop and move the files to the root of my external SdCard. Once you have all four files in the folder on your external SdCard, download Terminal Emulator to your phone from the play store, open it and type in the commands letter for letter (double check your spelling and spacing). The script runs, the phone reboots, and voila tether works through the hotspot app no problem.
---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------
In addition if you use the script through Terminal Emulator you have a nice way to return to stock - just type in the commands for the untether script.
I had to undo the tether to accept the OTA from MJ7 to MK2. However, the next OTA should be kitkat, so who knows if this will even be an issue or if we'll still be able to tether this way.
Question on the root on the sd card..Do I make a file, no file on in E'S file mgr.

I'd say it doesn't really matter how the file (frameworks-res.apk) gets to the root of your SD card. From there, using a file manager (I usually use File Manager, be sure to check root explorer and system write in the settings) locate where ever you placed the file, highlight it by pressing and holding, there should be an option to copy the file. Select that. Press home (which brings you to the root of your SD card), then press the "Up" button (which essentially begins accessing system files) until you can see the system folder. Paste here. Press and hold the file again and select "Permissions." Check The read and write of the first row, and read only of the next two rows. Move the file. Navigate to the framework folder and drop and overwrite. Reboot.

The system file. If there is one (depends on file manager used) it should be the option below the root explorer option.
Which file mgr. do you suggest?

Requesting stock notes app APK

I guess it's called "Richnote." I'm wondering if someone could export that APK and upload it somewhere so that I can try and get it running on a Galaxy S4. I found http://koolwap.in/games_app/dld.php...ba/comlgeapprichnote-30200111-v32.htm&ext=apk, but the phone just says "application not installed." I have a notes backup from an old E970 that I'd like to view, but I obviously can't with the GS4 (the format is .rnt, whatever that is), and I don't have any other LG device to view them from.
Here it is.
I extracted the app from my phone using Stock 4.1.2
Its called Rich Note
Here is the
PHP:
[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/x483o5gtq3o8a8c/com.lge.app.richnote.apk"]link[/URL]
I have this one. Copy to system app and set permissions. Doesn't work with kitkat in ART mode.
https://app.box.com/s/qfxao2m9rcctp2b03eom
Thanks guys!
Unfortunately, for both of those APKs, the phone just says application not installed.
It won't install as a normal app. You need to copy it with a root explorer to system apps, set permissions and reboot.

That probably explains it. The phone currently isn't rooted.
Regarding Perfect Viewer, it's unable to find the "backup.rnt" file that Richnote made during the export, even if I tell something like ES File Explorer to open that file with Perfect Viewer.
So there's no way to install that app without rooting?
So I rooted, copied one of the two APKs that were posted here into /system/app, changed the permissions to match the other APKs that I saw, rebooted, and nothing new showed up. Do these APKs need a matching OPEX file? Both of the Richnote APKs do this.

The one I posted shows up as "notebook" in app drawer and it doesn't have an odex file. Not sure if that would keep it from working on an odexd ROM. It is a modded apk. and I am pretty sure I found in a Samsung forum.
Oh...and googling .rnt it says it is files for CNC machines, but there are some free programs to open them.

Ah... I'm really confused, then. I tried putting some random APKs in /system/app and they ended up showing up after a reboot, so I'm not sure what's happening with the APKs that you guys posted.
I might just go to a T-Mobile store to open up my Richnotes backup and email all of the text to myself.
This is where I got it from downloaded the zip and pulled app from it. Does it look like the same note app you are trying to get?

I'm not sure what it looked like before (I barely used the phone), but I don't think that that's it.
I think I skipped out on your APK (the first two that I mentioned, one was from Alex_XV6700, the second was RichNote_a003.apk from a stock AT&T ROM for the E970). I put it in /system/apps, and the app works, but it's a different app overall, unfortunately. Thanks anyway.
I think the idea of going to a store to get the notes would be the easiest.

#$#$#$# Change\Customize Default Contact Image #$#$#$#

~WARNING~
This is working on Sprint S5 MOAR ROM.
Use these methods at YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!
I get sick of looking at the default android contact images and thought I would change them ALL. The image I decided to use is Bob Dobbs of The Church of the SubGenius. Yes Slack is good, and we need to be reminded of that when we communicate with the other degenerates in our lives. A little more Slack ain't not be hurts no-ones mayne.........
I have made changes to almost all contact related images in the following: InCallUI.apk, SecContacts.apk, SecTeleService.apk, and SecMms_Blue.apk. Its been a couple of days now and I am getting no errors + loving the way the Contacts and Messaging look.
Click tab above for Screenshots.
~~~~~~~~~DISCLAIMER!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~
If you get warts, if your newborn pops out with a foot on its forehead, if your teenage daughter runs off with the meth-head biker from down the street, you find your wife having Gang-Sex with cut-throat multi-nationals, or if your phone takes a GIANT **** on you: You are just plain fuct. I will brook no (read: ZERO) responsibillity.
Let The Slack Flow...
That being said, If you love Slack you can use the attached Apks to update the way your contacts display.
First off you will need a root browser like RootExplorer, or whatever you deem worthy.
Next transfer the updated Apks to your SD Card.
Open RootExplorer and navigate to wherever you put the Apks. Select copy-move InCallUI.apk then back out to the root of your phone's file system.
Make sure you are mounted RW (in RootExplorer the tab is located up top). Open "system\app" and then select "Move-Copy here" When asked if you want to replace-overwrite existing app select yes. After the file has transferred you need to scroll down and long-press on it to change permissions to RW-R-R.
Now copy or move the remaining three Apks into "system\priv-app" and change the permissions on those to RW-R-R as well.
Now back out to the root of your file system again and select Refresh from in RootExplorer settings. Reboot and WipeCache\Dalvik. Enjoy much Slack.
ALTERNATE IMAGE METHOD~~~
For those of you not into Slack-ing off whom wish to use their favorite picture of Early Cuyler or Tipper Gore and Janet Reno doing the chilli-dog or whatever, you can use the images in the two folders in the Update Contacts.zip from the download link below as templates. You will need to use whatever image editor you like (GIMP, Paint.net, etc...) to make changes to ALL the image files in both of the folders I have included, and then re-save them to the same folder for easy access.
!!!DO NOT GO CHANGING ANY NAMES OF ANYTHING!!!
Before you make changes in the Apks. Open the folder you saved your edited images in and make note of the names of the files you will be changing imagery in for each Apk.
Open each Apk with whatever archive tool you have (I used winrar). Navigate to each folder you need to update images in and select "add files to archive." Navigate to the folder containing your updated images and hit "ok."
Hokay.
Now place your edited Apks on your phone and overwrite the old Apks, Change permissions & Refresh.
Reboot recovery and wipe your cache-dalvik.
Enjoy...........

Sorry. Links, screenshots, and instructions are up now.
I just edited the SecContact.apk a little bit, but when I pushed the new back to replace the old one, chmod 644, reflashed, clear the cache and reboot... Finally the contacts and the dialer app icon never showes in my app list, who can tell why?

Sorry, been out of it for a while.
What is the error adb is giving you?
Did you try using Root Explorer to replace/chmod SecContacts.apk. Also try placing both SecMms_Blue.apk and SecContacts.apk in system/app AND system/priv app. If that does not work send me a log of the additional edits and I will track it down for you. Again, sorry for the deplorable response time.
PM me if you need to.
