So you mean we could have TRULY TRULY unlimited data? That's worth looking into. Anyone tried this?

I used this same method and posted a revised services.jar in my RoyalGinger thread a few days ago. I believe I only heard back from one maybe two guys but it did not appear to work.
And if you read that thread you linked, most of the people who actually tried it did not ultimately have success in the end with this either.
However, I will post mine in the off chance that it might work for someone.
It seems from reading the other G2 thread that this needed to be applied BEFORE you actually got throttled for the month. (but again, it appears this may not work at all anymore...)
**THIS WILL LIKELY ONLY WORK WITH ROYALGINGER AND LATER CM7 BUILDS** because it's based on this framework.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- download the zip from this post, extract the modded services.jar & put it on your computer (in the example commands below, it assumes its in your root C:\ folder but if it's elsewhere just add on the appropriate path after the C:\ )
- reboot into recovery & connect your phone to PC via USB
- open a command prompt, terminal, etc. on your PC/mac/toilet and type:
adb shell
mount /system
exit
adb push C:\services.jar /system/framework/
adb reboot
- all done
i've never tried this before and i'm not throttled so i can't test it ... this will probably make your settings > wireless & network > mobile networks menu force close .. but with the power widgets to switch network type the only thing you wouldn't be able to change are APNs .. either way, i included a virgin/unmodded services.jar that you can repush anytime you need to get back into that menu (make sure to rename it services.jar before pushing the unmodded one back to /system/framework/)
good luck!

I know that being throttled for a supposed "unlimited" service sux, but trying to hack your way around the limit is not something I would do or agree to either. This is more of an ethical issue.
On the technical side, I would be surprised that T-Mobile network is so easily fooled by anything on the phone side. They should be able to throttle based on your unique SIM ID rather than whatever settings or APN server from your phone.
Every time you turn on your phone, they know about your SIM and IMEI number from their server, from those 2 information, they know about your phone number, your personal information, your approximate location relative to their towers and which phone you are using.

It doesn't work.

@ckisgen, Yeah I noticed that most people were unable to use this but on the rare chance this does for work someone they'll be awfully happy lol. I got tethered once when I didn't have wifi at my house, needless to say it sucked. Thanks for posting your zip, instructions, and for all the work you do in the community.

Heres for thr noobs lol
Grab root explorer
Download the patch
Grab the edited services.jar not the unedited patch.
Get astro from the market or whatever file explored u like.
Go to your downloads folder in astro- highligh the services folder until a menu comes up hit edit then select move hit home on astro
U should see paste at the top in astro hit it itll put it in the root of sdcard
Grab root explored and the edited services.jar hold it hit edit in root explorer scroll down to to move then hit back once go to system folder in the main menu find framework in the system folder youll see the old services.jar dont touch it hit paste at the bottom in root explored itll asked to to overite it hit yes and it will then exit root explored reboot your phone and your free from the throttling enjoy yay!!

I don't see how this would work. Your data usage is not tracked phone side its tracked server side by T-mobile. Just because you don't get throttled after 5GB doesn't mean that it will work all the time.

Google Splash Screen.

Ok, we've seen things picking up for the NS4g and as development continues, I haven't seen this brought up. I love the Google slash screen on boot. It looks like heaven, but upon root a little lock appeared at the bottom, ruining my heaven with a opened gate. Anybody have some input on how to hide it? Give me a rough idea and ill try to make something flashable. Just a little inexperienced to just jump in.

.nomedia folder not working to hide pics?

I'm trying to hide some pictures from folders that I need from the Gallery app.. I used to do this by adding a ".nomedia"folder.. But since I got the galaxy s3 it doesn't seem to be working that way.. I can't delete the pictures or the apps won't work.. Does anybody have a fix for this.. Without downloading a application for it? Thanks for any help you can give me!

After you add the .nomedia file, clear gallery cache, reboot, and see if the pictures are there.

I just sent you a link in a private message with the nomedia file i created - maybe the one your creating has a permissions issue, so maybe if you download that one and put it in your directory, then clear the data and reboot it will fix your issue...

I had this problem too. Download hide it pro and you can set pics to not show in the gallery.

[GUIDE]Enable stock tethering - Root Required

For those that want to tether but don't want to pay your carrier for it...
Root is required.
1) Download your favorite SQL editor. I use SQLite Editor.
2) Open and grant root access.
3) Scroll down and find Settings Storage
4) Choose settings.db (duh)
5) Go down to line 65 and change the value for entitlement check from 1 to 0.
6) Reboot.
7) Profit.
Historically this has stuck through updates as the databases don't change when you update.
Thank you jcase for root!
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk 4

I wonder if the changes to settings will survive reboot because system is not writeable atm

in what folder does settings storage live? I cant seem to find it.

It does persist through reboot. The change actually won't work until after reboot.

No need to buy SQLite Editor
For those who don't want to pay for the SQLite Editor app, you can still gain wifi tethering/hotspot with this free alternative.
1. Download the free apps aShell and aSQLiteManager from Play Store.
2. Launch aShell, check the "Root" box, then hit "File Explorer" button.
3. Browse to /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases, and open up settings.db with aSQLiteManager.
4. Now choose the "settings" table, hit "Data" button.
5. "PgDn" until you see "65. entitlement_check" and change that value from 1 to 0.
You're done! Restart and wifi tethering/hotspot will work now.

Yeah it's annoying to have that. I also found foxfi to have random drops in connection so streaming or gaming was affected. The stock app is much more stable with connection.

Yeah. I was thinking Foxfi too til I realized it cripples touchless control due to forcing a lock screen. Then root came and I didn't care anymore

Enable tethering on LG G3 D850

Got this from the G2 thread so I take no credit. Just tried it out and it works 100% thought I'd share.
What you'll need:
Root
Root explorer (or something similar)
SQLite editor
1. Activate the hot spot initially in the user interface settings, once it rejects to turn on the hotspot.
2. In root explorer goto data>data>com.android.provider.settings>system>databases>settings.db>systen
3. Press search button then type tether
4. Tap on tether_entitlement_check_state goto the value and edit to 0. Save then reboot phone.
All done. Below is the original G2 thread so make sure to give thanks over there.

It also depends if sprint uses the hot spot provision apk (or whatever they might call it). If they do you can use xposed and x tether to get around it by freezing the provision apk with titanium back up and installing xposed frame work that the x tether module. Below is how they did it for the Galaxy S5.

It all depends on how they tether. If they use an app to verify tether then no but if it's a simple number value ran against their systems like how AT&T is then yes. If you have tibu I'd do a search in there for the word tether and see if they use an app to verify you
