Just wondering if anyone had a 5mb mms zip or apk they could share. I got tired of flashing this and flashing that so I decided to go stock and just build my own from there with all the things I like and I was wondering if anyone had this mod. I really dont use it but if anyone has it I would like to have it. Thanks.
Just download a rom that has it and copy it out of /system/app
its not an apk that has it, its in the default.xml inside the mns folder
its hangs out here
/system/customize/mns/default.xml
what rom are you running i can likely make the change for you

i haven't seen a lot on the details of this tweak .. interesting sprint would limit the size of mms messages .. probably for network congestion/bandwidth reasons.
using the same logic from the previous two quoted posts, if the 5mb limit adjustment is made in the /system/customize/mns/default.xml file, couldn't this file be pulled from a customized ROM and loaded onto another ROM and/or pushed onto the android device?
my curiosity got the best of me and i started searching ... i found a few of these modified default.xml files loaded on different custom EVO 3D ROMs SVN sites, meaning the whole ROM doesn't have to be downloaded. The individual files can be accessed directly.
Snyergy - /system/customize/MNS/default.xml
Virusrom - /system/customize/MNS/default.xml
quickly searching for the phrase "size" inside these files shows the location of the MMS size settings. there are quite a few lines for MMS size settings and one shows 5MB. copy/pasted below:
Code:
<item name="MMS_Msg_Size1">1M</item>
<item name="MMS_Msg_Size2">2M</item>
<item name="MMS_Msg_Size3">5M</item>
there very well could be more to the tweak than just one value on one line being adjusted. might want to examine the file further or if feeling brave, push the whole modified file over and test it out.
should be able to save these down to your computer and push over to your android device or load into your ROM .zip you will flash or modify your existing stock default.xml ... lots of options!
hopefully that helps! good luck with your own ROM!

Oh wow!! Thank you so much for this!! I am trying it out now. I have been tweaking the stock ROM like crazy with changing scripts and this made perfect sense!! I just rebooted my phone so I will let you know how things go. After tweaking the stock ROM I ran a 1978 in Quadrant so Im doing something right I guess.
Edit:Yeah that didnt work. I guess you were correct. There is more to it than just changing those few numbers. Hmmmmmm........... Oh well. My ROM is running great so I think I can manage without the 5mb mms size. Thanks anyways tho.

freeza and steelh say the best way to achieve the adjusted mms size is through following this guide: [HOW-TO] [TEAM XPOSED] Disable MMS Compression
good luck and thx to steelh and freeza for pointing me in the right direction!
If you still need the apk let me know via pm. I have them and I can help you get it running on your rom.

Alright, just got my hands on a system dump courtesy of loglud so I will be posting files (text files will include content that peaked my interest) here so me and other devs can see what we are able to toy with.
systemdump download link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/SystemDump.zip
Current list:
/system/media/bnapps_icons\ <-- we can mod the app icons that come with the device so we can make it less-sucky.
/system/etc/bluetooth/blacklist.conf <-- referencing the bluetooth chip meaning we just have to find a way to activate it
/system/app/settings.apk <-- anyone think they can actually replace this with another gingerbread apk or decompile and discover if there is a custom intent? Warning: It does NOT work at all. I suggest against swapping the apk's out as it causes a force close.
/system/bin/bootanimation *Was told where it searches for bootanimations first so goto this thread for a new bootanimation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361735

Nice finds. Bluetooth will be intesting to test (about to do it right now).
As you know the Nook has a heavily modified framework, so I don't know if the stock settings app will work (but I'm about to find out and probably fark up my tablet).
Let me know how it goes anlog.

Hmm . . . let me get a hold of it and I'll look at it tomorrow, I've already taken the rest of the week off (Diablo III beta key came in tonight).
You may not need to change out the settings.apk but just add another one to it.
I decided to hold off on swapping the settings.apk. Losing access to the real settings app with all of the Nook options might not be a good idea.
The main reason I wanted a full settings menu was to be able to get into the accounts sync settings, but I found an app to launch it.
Warning: It does NOT work at all. I suggest against swapping the apk's out as it causes a force close.

It's a binary file. This app executes bootanimation resources.
Example: on T-Mobile MyTouch 4G resources are in /system/customize//resource/htc_bootanimation.zip
You should search for bootanimation.zip and you can edit this archive

I read note, if you want edit system apps like Settings.apk you should sign them by personal keys only...
I was looking through and couldnt find a bootanimation.zip in the system so I'm checking the data folders now.

I was using Absolite system to see if I could replace the bootanimation because I couldn't find it either. I did manage to make it go away and just had the splash screen. I'll look into this further today as well. I'm starting to get ideas as to which files you can and can't replace right now. Some will force an immediate reboot and get stuck in a boot loop. I also am trying to find what triggers and handles the home button menu, I am sure it is in the framework. I have framework.jar and services.jar decompiled and going through those as well. Reviewing logcats to see what I can track down. I have some other interesting stuff going as well

Hmmm... Usually bootanimation is in /data/local/ or /system/media. May be it has different name?
/system/bin/bootanimation is the program that actually displays the bootanimation.
Normally it plays the contents of /system/media/bootanimation.zip, but it can also be hardcoded to play a fixed animation or designed to play a completely different format. (Such as on Samsung devices, where it only plays Samsung's QMG format until you replace the program.)

Don't take this the wrong way, but I really hate you right now!
I tried getting in on the Diablo III beta, no luck!
Here is a file of some interest, it it looks to be encrypted because it would be of interest.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
.p files are encrypted .m files. Not sure if anything exists out there to crack into that one, but I am sure it would tell some very interesting information and possibly allow hi-jacking the factory restore process?
Anyone familiar with .p files (pcode files) ?
---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------
Also of interest are some .xem3 files under /system/lib/ducati
base_image_app_m3.xem3 --- 57 mb
base_image_sys_m3.xem3 --- 1.5 mb
I think could be system image files possibly from the little bit of research I have done. Due to the size of one of these (57 mb) and the name of the file, I was thinking maybe this is where the restore was getting it's base image from, but until I dig further I am not sure of that. The size of the file is what got my attention, much larger than other files in lib. That's half the size of CM7 in just one file.
Edit: These now look to be possibly drivers/firmware/images for Ducati and/or Pandaboard ? That's a large driver file....
The .p file is very much of interest I would think.

It looks like the normal XML files are not controlling the layout and it is done through the smali files to get the custom actions and layout. A separate app to access development may be best for now, as we have been doing.
Unless someone edits the smali files of course, that's possible but will prove tedious and time consuming unless you have a lot of experience with these.
If you review the logcats from going into settings, you will see which smali files are involved.
I have almost a full system dump on an ftp so ill see about letting it be accessed.
Sent by breaking the sound barrier
Please upload full system dump from Nook Tablet
Please upload full system dump from Nook Tablet
How-to
1. Get root
2. Run terminal (enter su if symbol $ -> it will be changed to #)
3. Execute command mount
4. From list of partitions search for /system
Code:
Example: /dev/block/mmcblk0p27 /system ext4 ro,relatime
5. Dump it to sdcard with command dd
Code:
Example: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27 of=/sdcard/system.img
It dumps only system image not personal data...
I'll just upload a .zip to dropbox.
Is there a sanim.zip anywhere? If so, that's the bootani. If not, ill sink back to silence lol
Sent from my Samsung Legendary 4G, a Universe UTES phone, running "two.three.five"
I looked through and there are only a few .zip files but none of them actually contained a bootanimation. It really is annoying lol. This device is such a bastardized version of android, I can't wait to get past the bootloader. lol.
Ok, got a bit of a problem here... I need to change the default homepage of the browser in a Rom I'm cooking... that means the homepage you get after a full factory reset, not that you set in the menu.... Please don't tell me how to set it in the browser menu....
A bit of background... I'm using a leaked Rom to build from. It was leaked from a Tracfone "LG-L95G" which is identical in every way to the LG-P999 aka T-Mobile G2X. Everything is working 100%. The only problem left from the "porting" is removing Tracfone as the default browser homepage.
This has turned out to be harder than I expected.
What I have done:
Browser.apk - the xml lists Google as the homepage. The word "tracfone" appears NOWHERE in the entire structure of the decompiled xml or values or even in the smali code.
SystemUI & framework-res - I've seen suggestions the homepage hides here. Can't find anything suggesting a setting to "tracfone"
flexdb - I really thought I had it kicked here. /system/etc/flex.db listed m.tracfone.com as the homepage for T-Mobile US. I changed all occurrences here to about:blank. I have also tried simply copying the flex.db from a P999 itself. Ie, removed ALL references to tracfone service and made it identical to a P999 in every way.
Ran grep -R tracfone * on the entire ROM.
Dug through tons of files by hand looking for any clue.
Unfortunately, even with all of that, do a wipe, open the browser, and you GET M.TRACFONE.COM again!
The word "tracfone" does not appear in build.prop, it does not appear in any init scripts, not even in the kernel scripts! Yet it comes back like Christine...
Does anyone have a clue where I could look next? Or failing that, even some way from an init.d script that I can overwrite the setting myself?
EDIT
Okay, I hate giving myself clues like this, but maybe this will help others (if I'm on the right track)...
Instead of doing a grep on the ROM from my PC, pre-install, I decided to actually hit up the RUNNING copy... so from adb into a Bash prompt on the phone itself, I ran a grep -r tracfone * and got the following result:
Code:
data/data/com.android.browser/databases/browser.db:Web page not availablehttp://m.tracfone.com/

Which is very odd.... considering that is NOT the content of the actual flex.db that was flashed to the phone. That leads to 1 question: Why isn't the phone respecting the flex.db? I've noticed other edits to the file (such as bookmarks) do not apply either. So it is being ignored at somepoint. FlexProvider.apk maybe? Or is something in the ROM still identifying the phone to T-Mobile as an MVNO device and they're pushing out an OTA flex update?
EDIT 2:
AHA! There's a flex.db *INSIDE* the FlexProvider.apk file! So it *IS* ignoring the one placed in /system/etc/flex/! Editing this should solve it - but I'm going to test test test to make sure.

firstly to say interesting question!!
but I think it it not possible to change programmatically default homepage
this is a system app so will be signed by your provider let us suppose you find homepage location in code (could by result of a script parsing) by modifying source of that apk package how to solve signature problem ?!
if in .db file ...this file is created after flashing as a result of script parsing
not framework-res.apk better browser-res.apk if you have one

man use a ... editor...I can show you for fifty bucks
I was just curious about this tricky change (from your post) so thinking about Google motto don't be bad finally I have found but should recognize that I am bad at this time
here is solution
Actually, you can use an sqlite editor to change the values in the flex.db file... the problem I was having in the OP is that on an LG phone (maybe others?) the flex.db file is ignored and the one inside FlexProvider is used instead, so you have to edit both. You can add new locales the same way. No need to use a hex editor, as that would be much more difficult.

maybe you are right regarding your phone... but also I prepare a custom rom for Alcatel ot-908 also to change default homepage was a problem for me but I did and simply works !
I received a Text message sent from an E-Mail and I was wondering if it was possible to find the individual file on the filesystem holding the metadata for the E-Mail.
If so, would I have to root the phone? And where would that file be located?
I'm a techie, so no need to warn me that I could hurt my phone or files - I'm only looking to READ, not WRITE, and I'd be making a copy of that file beforehand anyways and porting it to a PC in order to check it with whatever program is necessary to decrypt (Probably only need a hex editor, but if someone knows better, feel free to pass that information along, too )
Anyways, is it possible?
Thank you for your time.

You can get access to system files by using a file manager. To edit files, you need to root your phone.
If it is *.txt attachment that was attached in that mail, go to downloads and look for it.
Now, serious. Why so serious?
If you are looking to decompile that mail app, use APKTOOL to decompile. Search on xda for the links. :good:
The apk file can be found on the device in: /system/app/ here
If the apk file is odexed, then you have to first deodex it to make it as one apk file Search on xda for the tutorials. :good:
If you are asking to decrypt mails, ask NSA :laugh: :laugh: :silly:
I am a newbie here. So I don't know where that file is located exactly.
Press thanks if I have helped you.

Just to reiterate, the person sent me a TEXT. I open my text app and I read their text. I want to find the file containing that exact text. (Extra info, info you don't really need to know and MAY have confused you: The text was sent via an E-Mail... Meaning they logged into their E-Mail, typed my phone number, and my phone received a TEXT from that E-Mail address straight to my SMS inbox). I'm not sure if I was clear enough on that. But I am trying to open an SMS sent straight to my phone AS IF from another phone.
What did you mean why so serious? I'm just trying to seem professional in my question. Hate to confuse people. Also: Decrypying a file should a) not be necessary, but MAY be (still highly doubt it), and B) Does not require NSA lol. I can do it myself, and if not, I've got a buddy who could do it for sure. But ALL I'M TRYING TO GET is the "metadata" from the SMS that'll HOPEFULLY give me the metadata for the E-Mail.
Thanks for your time.
Solution
I think I have found a solution to your problem.
This is the absolute path to SMS and MMS DB on most android devices:
/data/data/com.android.providers/telephony/databases/mmssms.db
It is the file where these messages are stored.
I don't own this device but still I have posted the screen shots
I think you get what I am trying to say.

Guys,
I can't post in the official thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/guide-headphone-speaker-volume-booster-t2819821
But I just wanted to confirm that if you root your device and follow the directions here, I've got confirmed working on the Sprint LS990 variant of this phone. The thread mentions nothing of this on Sprint or the LS990 but I can confirm that it is indeed working.
You'll need to:
1. Have root with SuperSU installed
2. Install Root Browser and 920 Text Editor (Available in market for free)
3. Navigate to system/etc and then mixer_paths.xml
4. Change file permissions to rw-r-r
5. Save to your downloads folder just in case you trash your phone or something
6. Navigate to markers mentioned in thread link above. The LS990 variant will have aforementioned markers listed approximately 15 lines later in the code. Edit them to your liking.
7. Save, reboot, pray not to get caught in limbo.
8. Enjoy having better sound than everyone else with a phone.
Just an FYI anyone attempting this: If you do not edit the permissions correctly when overwriting the file the phone will not boot. It will get stuck at the yellow sprint screen and you will have to preform a reset.
Root browser did not allow me to change permissions correctly and when going quickly I did not notice it when overwriting.
However, second attempt after recovery it worked great.
Thanks for the info TROPhouse
So i havnt edited yet but permissions look right here. Will they change after I edit and save. And then change them back right. I don't wanna get stuck since we have no custom recovery yet.
Did it. It was way worth sweatin through the reboot process. Haha.

I'm using viper. Works perfect. After installing I moved the app from data/app to system/app. Heard people were having it being stopped after using it for awhile and this was there fix for that.
Kept having permission issue and was kind of nerve wrecking with no recovery.... However, phone sounds awesome now!

What settings did you end up with. I used 68 or 69 on all mine and it's pretty good. Not sure if I want it louder or quieter but it's definitely way better than stock was.

I did 69 which seems perfect to be honest... I mainly hear music at the gym and usually use soundcloud... at 69, I don't even get close to full volume on the phone now. Its perfect
it seems like there are another few steps in this process that aren't being mentioned, like how to save the mixer_paths file because following the instructions and updating the lines I want to update then trying to save with 920 text editor ends with the message that it's a read only system file.
Anyone care to fill in the blanks as to how you get the update to stick?
thanks!

Don't know if this is too late to help, but...
I don't use 920, but my guess is there's an option somewhere (probably in settings for the app) to switch the file system to read - write mode, instead of read-only. I use the FX app, and that's what I had to do with it. Be sure to set it back to read-only when you're done.

SUCCESS!
So you need to download an app that will mount your system, I used an app called mount/system. You launch it then select Mount r/w. Once you do that you have the needed access to edit the files as listed. I used this guide as well and had success....hope this helps others!
copy the original mixer_paths to your memory by ES file
edit it by notepad++ on windows and put it again in your memory
copy it from internal to your /system
highlight it and set permissions rw r r
move it from /system to /system/etc/
reboot and enjoy
Has anyone tryied playing with bluetooth volume i cant find where to change it any sugestions?
Nice, I haven't had any issues with my phone being too quiet, but I also came from a Verizon G2. Those were noticeably horrible for volume levels, so the G3 is a welcome change.
In regards to all the questions about which app to use for which function:
You could use Root Explorer, or any other file explorer that has root capabilities (ES File Explorer, Total Commander). You do NOT need to use a specific app set and if your file explorer can't mount/unmount the system partition with root permissions, try a new one because that one sucks.
You also should not be downloading three separate apps to accomplish this. It's kind of overkill to have a file explorer, a text editor, and a system partition mounter when any decent file explorer has all three of those built in. I think ROM Toolbox even has all those capabilities in the free version.

Nice, I haven't had any issues with my phone being too quiet, but I also came from a Verizon G2. Those were noticeably horrible for volume levels, so the G3 is a welcome change.

Agreed but I downloaded ES File Explorer and several others and I was unable to find the ability to mount as r/w. If the option is in those apps, it's very much hidden so an app to mount your file system then an editor was what I needed and it worked.

ES's current interface does hide a lot, and is in almost every way inferior to the original interface. But the option is there. It's also in FX (File Explorer) which is my root editor of choice.
the pursuit of sound quality! bullet for my valentine cant be heard on stock!!!!!!!
tried this. guess i messed up. stuck on spark screen. sat and read through the pages here. gotta fix my phone when i get home tonight.
what did you change you volume levels to?
So can those who have successfully made the edits share what volume levels you changed and what are the new numbers? I've made the change to mine and even with my $100 earphones there's distortion at what I feel is a low level. I'm thinking maybe there's a balance among these that I need to achieve?
thanks!
