You must be deodexed for this to work and on the most current ROM which is "AMDL" I suggest using Nottach's PRom found here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258904
I have personally tested this on 3 different units all running the PRom with no issues at all...
If you are running a Rogers device and want this then PM me a copy of your deodexed android.policy.jar file and I will take a look at it. I only need one so I will delete this once I receive it....
Here is a quick mod I put together....It will give you the long menu press to kill feature as well as the extended reboot menu. You must have CWM or TWRP in order to install..Just go to recovery and install the zip...
Based on feedback below this mod doesn't seem to work with Rogers.. I will look into it and see what's up.
Flash at your own risk....
This has been tested on an att S4 with twrp/loki...
I also found this which works for increasing your volume..Just install the zip from recovery..this really increases the volume may be to loud for some..

Will this work on ATT version with TWRP that is using the Loki bootloader bypass?

That's what I'm on so you shouldn't have any issues..
For the rest that this is not working for it may be because you are not on att... All this is is a simple mod to the android policy jar file... I will look at it later to see what's up...

Not working for me,
Rogers 1337m with TWRP
Also flashed the volume thing, worked fine all night but decided it was a tad too loud and flashed the revert back to stock settings. Phone in a boot loop.
Had to restore from a backup
Flashed it this am, but I don't see any change. I'm on ATT with TWRP.

So if you open an app and once opened you hold the menu button down the app should close and a little message is displayed saying killed:appname.
If you press the power button to turnoff or restart phone and you hit restart a new menu should pop up..this doesnt happen either????
are you odex or deodex??

Anyways you can add a Version that just had the four way reboot and not the long press menu? Or even better make long press back button to kill app rather than menu. I used long press menu for search alot
Works great for me. Thanks for a great mod. :good:
I am on AT&T odex'd with CWM auto loki.. Gonna flash again after back up! Really just want for reboot but kill button would be nice too. Also gonna try manually replacing policy.jar file.. Will update with results.
*UPDATE*
So manually replace policy file had no affect either. Well keep testing and report back.
Hey guys/gals, here is a fix for the VZW GS4 that resolves the issue of WiFi hotspot tethering. In the latest update, you now get an errors message that checks for an active subscription and then gives you an error and turns off the hotspot. Here are 2 methods I found.
Method 1: Download any app that allows you to freeze/defrost packages. If you cannot find one or do not have one, download an app called System Tuner by 3c. You have to find a package called "SPG" (system package). Freeze this package and it will prevent the phone from checking for a subscription service. Run your non-factory hotspot app. It will crash and maybe freeze for the first time, and then exit, just reopen it and it should then work.
Method 2: Using System Tuner, find the package called "SPG" and click on it so that it becomes highlighted. Then click "Details" so that it brings up the info about the app. It should show a list of packages under the "Activites" section (near the bottom). Uncheck the box labeled "NewSPGActivity". After this, you can run your hotspot app and it should crash/freeze for the first run. After that, it should run smoothly.
I hope this works for you all. If you have any questions or issues, just reply to this thread. Don't forget to give me a thanks!
Note: Do not use the built-in wifi hotspot toggle switch, it will crash. Download an app from the market to toggle it.
Note: If you cannot access the settings by clicking on the Hotspot notification, do this: settings>more networks>mobile hotspot.
Note: I am running ME7 with 4.2.2 JellyBean and stock rom.

Foxfi works with no subscription notice all you have to do is make a pattern lock when it asks you.

Foxfi seems to be working. No adhoc error. I've yet to connect to it though. Cautiously optimistic

What exactly force closed?
If you are trying to run the hotspot from the built it button, it will crash. Use an external app for your hotspot. I use "1-click tether" at the moment. I'm going to do some more looking right now.

I have had the issue of not being able to use my WiFi tethering without paying for a subscription. Whenever you try to start a tether it gives you an error saying that you must activate your subscription.....I found a fix. This only works for rooted GS4's.

I just use the toggle. Then, after that hold down the home button for recent apps and go right back to what I was doing...
Yes, was trying to use the built in button and the app crashed. I haven't had any problems with third party tether toggle apps. After getting the subscription check and hitting the home button I am good to go.

FoxFi uses your data plan, so if you don't have unlimited data it will cost you a lot of money. The technique I'm using prevents the phone from checking if you have an active subscription or not. Also, FoxFi limits how long you can use it continuously if you don't purchase the pro version. I used to use FoxFi before i rooted my phone.
On VRUAME7 build hack is not required. Toggle the built-in Wifi hotspot on and as soon as the subscription check message comes up just press the home button and it will go in the background but you will be able to still use tethering.
i just froze that app. and installed a third party wifi tether app and it worked .,thanks

IF you are correct, you still have to deal with the message every time you want to tether. Also, since you have to hit the home button, if you want to change your setting or anything then you have to go back into the app and deal with the message again. This just makes it easier. Your idea just avoids the issue, mine fixes it. I wasn't trying to be rude or anything. Have a good day!

No problem.
Every time I try to install an app the page pops up with the cancel and install buttons, when I hit cancel it works but when I hit install nothing happens as if it's not even a button. I install non market apps all the time and I've never had problems so I am lost as to what I'm supposed to do but it's really annoying and I need to fix it.

Simply push the APK to /data/app and restart your device.
Did you recently install a screen dimmer or any app that overlays a mask on the screen? If you did then disable it first and then try installing whatever apks your trying to install.
No I don't currently I heard about that though, about two months ago I had lux auto brightness installed and had no problem but it's gone now and I've had no problem until now

I've got the effect same problem. Did you figure it out?
Day 1- bug 1
System ui crashed when trying to open watchon app.
On opening the app, got an error message for the crash after which the UI restarts.
On second attempt to open the app it works.
Solution:clear the cache and app data and then open the app it will work fine
Thanks for the solution.. helped me

Well, for me the bug was more like sudden restarts. I still can't find the exact reason, but it could be an issue of phone heating.

Try resetting system cache.. follow the below steps.
Turn off the phone.
Press and hold Volume UP + Home + Power buttons.
When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
In the recovery menu, navigate to ‘’wipe cache partition’’ with the volume buttons.
Press power button to confirm.
Once this is done, select reboot system now.

Nah, that didn't help either. A little research over the internet tolkd me that there's a bug with 4.4.2 play services. I disabled it about 4 hours back and so far no restarts. Actually, last time after wipe, the problem started when I used an app that used google sign-in (Piano tiles)

hi there...
yesterday I manually updated my opx to oxygen 3.1.3.
everything went fine.
but facing problem with app permission.
for example:
when I try to upload an image on facebook, it asks for
"media access permission."
clicking "allow" on the pop up,,,another note pops out....asking to
" turn off the screen overlay "
but from last night to till now, I couldn't find any way to do this.
any suggestion would be a great help for me.

That happens when something is obstruction your screen, fundamentally, closing chat-heads, and swiping away Heads-up should do the job. Did you try that ?
Also, disable any screen filter apps like Darker, Blue Light Filter etc.
If still it don't work then go into settings of that app, and manually grant all permissions to it.

The 3 dots menu at the top right of tha Apps menu, resettings prefs. Do that again.
Reboot in safe mode (Press power, then long press on switch off on the screen. Will be proposed).
Go into apps that doesn't work to see if it's ok
dGo to Settings>apps then click on the settings icon besides the 3 dot menu..then go to draw over other apps and deny permissions to all the apps. Then you can go and manually give permissions to your apps. After that grant permission to draw over other apps to all the apps !!
