ItsOn question - Sprint LG G3

I was going through my build.prop on bareprop and I saw something about ItsOn and I googled it and it said that it is a data enhancer. Should I enable it or no I read something that said its bad on the M8 and I wasn't sure if it was the same was on our G3.

I'm not sure what it's for. I've been guessing it was for the Data Optimizer. So I've left it alone since I removed it.

Ok thank u

I did some digging through the files in zv8.
I think it's a Sprint thing. It might have something to do with the Chameleon that Sprint uses for its CDMA.
It looks like it's disabled in the rom and the build.prop.
That's all I got. But at least it's a little more.

Help needed with Audio Hack for the Nexus!

I guess this is development, so here goes:
Ok, some people have repoted success with my Audio Hack on the Nexus whilst some people have reported no change at all.
If my app or the manual hack works for you can you please let me know what ROM you're running, and which version of my hack you used, it would be very helpful
Cheers!

I'll help ...
I'll give her a test whirl in a little bit and report back some solid testing results for you as soon as I can.
~enom~
i tried every possible combo with the options this morning and i still have nothing. oddly, i get a double screen option on the headphone boost screen. 2 yes and 2 no's. one pair is white the other yes is green and the other no is red.
my results and some information
Meltus,
Do you have a N1 to play with? or are you shooting in the dark (and thus need help)?
Anyhow ...
Some details ...
I implemented via manually pushing the AudioPara4.csv, AudioFilter.csv, & AudioPreProcess.csv files to /system/etc and then rebooting.
I tried both G7_v3r2 and G7_v2r2. Both resulted in (from what I can tell) no change. I did not witness any volume gain or decrease. No distortion. No nothin'. Literally everything appeared unchanged.
Some interesting things I found for you ...
The stock (or shipping) AudioPara4.csv in the Nexus1 (ERD79) is the exact match for all Stock-sapphire-32B(MT3G) ROM's/devices.
Also, AudioPreProcess.csv and AudioFilter.csv are not present on the Nexus1.
Also, the Nexus1 is shipping with a couple new .csv files in the /system/etc directory ... AdieHWCodecSetting.csv & AudioBTID.csv.
That's the results I obtained and the relevant detail I observed. If you need anything else from me in way of producing an audio mod. I'd be happy to assist.

Yeah, i'm pretty much guessing at the moment, with help from simms22, but we've still not been able to get the volume hack to work.
It's strange though, some people have reported success whilst most others haven't. And, from checking the logcat when the mediaserver restarts, it loads the AudioPara4.csv fine, so my files should make a difference and the headset boost option should work fine, but it doesn't ><
So far, we've established that the AudioFilter.csv and AudioPreProcess.csv aren't used by the Nexus, but the strange thing is, some of the Nexus firmware dumps which people provided for me include these files and some don't. It seems as if there's 2 versions of the nexus, either that or people added the files in when they sent me the dump.
So, it seems that the nexus loads the AudioPara file, but i'm not sure why as it doesn't do anything. The other 2 files seem to be bluetooth related, so i'm not sure they'll make a difference.
God, this phone's more trouble than it's worth
could it be that the nexus for google employees and the nexus for the public are that different. ive asked around also, no one has that app working on their nexus that i know of. could it be that some people are lying and just saying that it works(to be cool).

Good point, and them lying is a possibility (albeit a strange one ).
This doesn't make much sense to me, i'm gonna speak to some ROM devs and see if they have an answer

yea I dunno ... it would certainly be hard to believe that this type of issue would be "intermittent".
This seems to me like an all or nothing affair, in which it really should either work or not. I could be wrong, I've seen stranger things happen, but I really don't see how this would be working for a "select few".

Very true, unless there are 2 different versions (like simms said, maybe one for google employee's), but even if there was, i don't see why they would make it different. (unless they made it different for the public, specifically to stop me doing this, which i highly doubt lol)

lol..I wanted an EQ so bad I think I convinced myself something was actually happening.
I am not getting the double screen at all. I saw no difference in the volume either with the external speaker or the headphones after installation and setting up V2r2.
Volume Hack
I have the double icons on the headset screen. I haven't had a change in the volume.
Now I could have sworn when I tried it that the volume got worse and then I tried the files on your site the stock ones and it got better but after playing with it continuously for about 3 days I have come to the conclusion it is a placebo effect and nothing more.

[Q] Red Box Flash Glitch?

Hello, I just got my new Evo 4g LTE and it was upgraded from an Evo 4g, so I am already pretty settled in with the phone. I've only had one real problem with it so far, and I was hoping someone here might know the fix.
I got it from Best Buy, and went I went to the store the day after I bought it to transfer my contacts, some glitch started occuring after I left.
Here's the glitch: When I switch screens (Like opening up settings, or going to my texts, or even switching websites on the stock mobile browser), a real quick flash of red comes on the screen in the form of a box that outlines the screen. It's very subtle, and doesn't slow the phone down, but can get pretty annoying.
Do you guys know is this something that can be fixed? I asked Best Buy and they refused to even take it out of my hands and look at it because the supervisor there was "100% positive" it's a software problem and has to do with the ice cream sandwich software and will PROBABLY be fixed with an update that is released...but I haven't heard of it anywhere else so I don't want to wait for my manufactur's warranty to run out (21 days now) just for an update that may not even fix the glitch. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Have you tried Forcing GPU rendering Under Developer Settings?
Can you post a screen shot of what you're seeing? Maybe that will trip off some light bulbs.
Disable Strict Mode under Development Tools and then restart the phone. That should fix it!

Not yet. If they do get it working, it'll be through an international ROM. AT&T has refused to support it so far.
Yeah, I've tried the modaco toolkit version(from the youtube vid I found) and that person got it working, but it is on an Sprint HTC One.
Guess I'll wait and see what happens.
I found a verion that works on sprint, but on my phone (running cognition 0.6 - based upon dev rom) it still says "Device/carrier not supported"
I'm sure its based upon some carrier flag perhaps... not sure why/how at&t can actually keep google from releasing it... especially on a "deveoper" version of the phone...

Sprint is the only us carrier that can use wallet. Speaking from previous phones on their network. If I'm not mistaken the s3 on sprint and nexus all use wallet straight from the market.

Yeah but they(devs here) found a way to use the Sprint version of the phones to bypass the carrier locks. I had GW on my AT&T S3 via wallet installer. Requires root, but it was a simple build.prop edit to get it working.

Well, looking at the build.prop I have, am running Cognition 0.6 rom... it has a line of ro.product.brand=cingular_us...
I wonder if we could just change that line to the sprint version (maybe sprint_us, not sure exactly what it's value is but we should be able to find out), reboot the phone, setup wallet, set the line back, reboot and have working wallet.... anyone want to try it?

I remember that I could get Google Wallet to work on my Galaxy SIII by changing the phone name in the build.prop to HTC RAIDER and it would work.
I can't seem to find the thread that detailed how to do it, but I bet with a rooted ROM you could use the same hack and install via the APK
giving it a shot
There were two lines I think in the build.prop related to at&t... may want to compare build.props against a sprint phone.... let me know how it goes...

I got in touch with the dev who got wallet working on the s3, he is working on it for the s4 and the One as well.
I've tried all the build prop edits, along with Modaco toolkit using Xposed framework and removing carrier/root checks. Still nothing. Leads me to believe we need some files from the Sprint HTC One like the S3 needed to get this working.

I've pulled all the nfc libs/files from the sprint ROM as per the other workarounds that have gotten google wallet working and flashed them, changed build.prop, installed all the modded wallet apks i could find as well as the play store version, but it never gets past the first screen (logcat showed a No Secure Element Error). I've recently, however, been told that the Secure Element is located in the micro sim, which currently i don't have (i'm using a cut mini sim, so ISIS doesn't even work. Can anyone check to see if ISIS will install for them?). Here is the flashable package iwth the nfc libs/files from the Sprint ROM, if anyone would like to try to see if it will utilize the secure element in the sim (it will still require the other workarounds, I'm guessing).
Keep in mind this is from the original ROM, before their update yesterday (or two days ago) that enabled wallet. Once i find a dump from the update, i'll redo the flashable with the most current files.. ah i see there's one posted, downloading now... will have a new flashable shortly.. i'm also gonna check out the new build.prop to see what, if any, changes happened there that might be necessary.
Edit: removed this one. New one will be up in about 15 minutes

Once you get the new package I'll try flashing and see what happens.
I can install Isis from the Play store, but it won't let me initialize cause I'm rooted. Also not sure if my micro sim has a secure element or not(since I am not located in one of the test markets).

I can't even install ISIS..tells me my device is unsupported. So since you can, my guess is you do have a secure element. I was told by a chat representative yesterday (I know, taken with a grain of salt), that all of ATT's micro SD's have a secure element.
10 minutes left on the download, then some comparison, then I'll have a flashable

PSA: Verizon now has remote "desktop" capability

I'm not sure how long this has been going on but I was on a call to customer service last night trying to get the WatchESPN app running properly on my phone and the "tier 2" technician asked if it would be okay to take control of my phone. I've been in the IT field quite some time and I knew he was asking to remote into my phone (ala pcAnywhere.)
I gave him permission and quickly got a text message saying vdm (Verizon desktop manager?) was trying to connect. I'm rooted with Dubbsy's 4.2.2 GPE ROM and I was nervous about a Verizon rep snooping around my phone (warranty concern.) I'm not sure if it was the ROM or the fact that I was in a bad cell area, but he was never able to connect. We never did get the app to run properly either.
Just giving people a heads up about Verizon's (new???) capability; I've never had anyone ask me in over three years with the company. Careful rooted users, if they see you've rooted they may make a notation (with or without telling you) in your account and when you bring your phone in for service--it may get declined.
Pretty scary stuff. At least they can't get in unattended (we hope?)

Aetherpal teardown
Aetherpal can/does check for root access. There's two good things about this service. First, you can simply refuse the assistance from the customer support. Second, there's a terms of service you have to accept even if you gave permission for them to remote desktop. You can reject the ToS. I haven't had a TW ROM installed on my phone for a long time, so maybe someone else can post a screen of which .apk(s) they can freeze in TiBu.

Is rooting the device the only way to get rid of this? Is there a way without root to disable this?
if you are with sprint, if you read the Sprint TOS that you signed when you got the phone it says that rooting will not void your warranty they just ask that u put it back to stock when upgrading or having service done to it. Who has ever went to upgrade their phone and the rep put it in to download mode to check something like that? And when I had my s2 rooted and needed service on the ear piece I just left cm 10 and all my stuff just the way it was and they never said anything to me about it.

I just left cm 10 and all my stuff just the way it was and they never said anything to me about it.

I forgot to move my rooted tether app from my home screen and took it for service. The rep looked down, looked up at me, and went to a different screen to work from. Classic.
yeah, when I went to Sprint to have my last phone looked at, the rep asked me point blank if the phone was rooted -- but it was not in an accusatory way, it was more a "I need to know for the purposes of what I'm doing." Did not get the sense from the way she asked that it would have made a bit of difference to her in terms of whether they would still work on the phone.
As an aside, does anyone know what exactly could be causing the alert? It popped up when I was logged onto an airport wifi network, which gives me some concern.

It is a known issue, not by Lookout, but Knox AND a fix is coming from Sprint. Many threads to be found.

Ah, you know, I did search before I posted, but I was searching for "Lookout." My bad.

Not just you. A lot of folks think it's Lookout. Just letting you know the info is out there.
I have a tough time getting reasonable search results on the forum, but that's just me. I do search anyway, every time.
