Amazon VOD after root

I'm thinking it should be possible to modify the Amazon VOD app to get it to continue to work on rooted Fires. Right now you have to unroot or rename the "su" binary to something else. I poked around the apk and found that the VOD app is using a DRM solution from Widevine. A strings dump on the dex file shows this interesting string
Code:
*Widevine detected a tampered/rooted device
and a dexdump shows several references to various Widevine APIs.
Considering renaming su breaks their root check, the code may be doing something as simple as looking for su in the path. If this is the case we should be able to find out were in the dex (or maybe the native *.so) that this done and overwrite the string within the binary.
I'm going to keep poking at it. But I wanted to post this information in case anyone else was working on something similar or had any good ideas/suggestions.

You know, OTA Root Keeper is literally one click (un)root. Not hard to use it at all.

I did not know that. I still think it is worth investigating.

Just installed it and doesn't seem to work for Amazon VOD?

After running unroot, you need to force close the Amazon Video app or reboot for streaming to work.

Thanks, it's working now.

that is why it would be nice to get the VOD app to not look. simply make easier to just keep root in place. though it is not really that big of a deal.

any luck yet?

Here is a possible start. Not versed enough in decompiling android apps to attempt myself yet.
This was done to the google video apk to remove the WideVine checks.

So this doesn't stop it from checking for root, but ChainFire's SuperSU will let you temporarily hide your root from it without as much effort as some of the other apps.
Tried this on my Droid Charge yesterday and it worked great.
Also tried with "HideMyRoot" but it was unsuccessful.

[MOD]Swipe to Clear Notifications(GB 2.3.3)

Swipe To Clear Notification
Working on O1​
HERE IS THE LINK
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483193
THANX To​hansip87
Hi there, I want to share this tutorial for implementing Swipe-to-Remove Notification feature found in CyanogenMod to stock ROM (Gingerbread or earlier ROM). Sure it will be available on ICS but for those who like to add one to their custom ROM here's how Currently i don't know to whom should i give credit to, if anybody knows please post below and i'll add the link for the original modder. Thanks to:
1. like-p for help showing me what files to be edited
2. LeoMar75 for some info on how to control Stub switch case
This mod is based on Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray, so take care when adding to another device, some code might be different though so no direct copy paste, please learn some of the line first.
Requirement:
1. decompiled Framework.jar with Baksmali manager
2. decompiled SystemUI.apk with APK Multi Tool
3. Some Basic understanding about editing xml file and smali code.
4. WinMerge or other comparison tool (to better editing and comparing with my sample file)
5. Backup the framework.jar and SystemUI.apk first!
Files to be edited:
in SystemUI.apk
res/anim/
res/layout/status_bar_latest_event.xml
res/values/public.xml
smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/LatestItemContainer$1.smali
smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/LatestItemContainer.smali
smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarService$7.smali (or depends on your numbering, could be $8 or larger)
smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarService.smali
in framework.jar:
smali/com/android/internal/statusbar/IStatusBarService$Stub$Proxy.smali
smali/com/android/internal/statusbar/IStatusBarService$Stub.smali
smali/com/android/internal/statusbar/IStatusBarService.smali
UPDATE: This is the additional guide for other device when editing StatusBarService.smali. See here:
1. HTC based
2. Samsung based
Alright, let's mod one by one
1. Editing SystemUI.apk
1.1 Editing res/anim
We are registering anim object here, so swipe animation can be done.
Create folder anim (if not exists yet) inside /res folder
Create 2 file named slide_out_left_basic.xml and slide_out_right_basic.xml inside res/anim folder
for slide_out_left_basic.xml, edit the file and fill with this
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime" android:fromXDelta="0.0" android:toXDelta="-100.0%p"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />
for slide_out_right_basic.xml, edit the file and fill with this
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<translate android:duration="@android:integer/config_mediumAnimTime" android:fromXDelta="0.0" android:toXDelta="100.0%p"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />
Save both
Update: Mirko ddd (&shoman94 have pointed that out before but i have no idea where to change, sorry mate) have given me the tip to improve the gesture. read his post here Thanks mate, both of you!
1.2 Editing res/layout/status_bar_latest_event.xml
We are replacing LinearLayout object used in StatusBar with LatestItemContainer here, so notification can be removed. We handle the Styling first by editing this .xml first. Here are the steps:
Change the code from Original code to this (change the bold one)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<[B]com.android.systemui.statusbar.LatestItemContainer [/B]android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="65.0sp"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.LatestItemView android:id="@id/content" android:background="@android:drawable/status_bar_item_background" android:paddingRight="6.0sp" android:focusable="true" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="64.0sp" android:shadowColor="#ff000000" android:shadowDx="0.0" android:shadowDy="1.0" android:shadowRadius="2.0" />
<View android:background="@drawable/divider_horizontal_light_opaque" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<[B]/com.android.systemui.statusbar.LatestItemContainer[/B]>
Save
1.3 Editing res/values/public.xml
This one is for registering anim file that we made on step 1.1 to be available publicly and to be recognized in .smali program. Here are the steps:
Recompile your apk after putting anim file into /res folder
Decompile again the resulting apk
Inside /res/values/public.xml, you'll found something like this:
Code:
<resources>
.
.
.
[B]
<public type="anim" name="slide_out_left_basic" id="0x7f0c0000" />
<public type="anim" name="slide_out_right_basic" id="0x7f0c0001" />
[/B]
</resources>
[*]Remember the ID for both anim lines. This will be applied again on the step 1.4
1.4 Adding smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/LatestItemContainer$1.smali and smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/LatestItemContainer.smali
This is the class of LatestItemContainer that will be used to handle the notification list instead of LatestItemView. Here are the steps:
Please download from the attachment
insert the files inside to mentioned folder above
Inside LatestItemContainer$1.smali, there's an id that references the anim from step1.2. please edit it if you have different id for anim left or anim from previous step.
Code:
.line 53
:cond_0
const/high16 v1, [B]0x7f0c[/B]
and
Code:
.line 51
const v1, [B]0x7f0c0001[/B]
1.5 Add smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarService$7.smali (or depends on your existing framework numbering, could be $8 or larger)
This is additional function for StatusBarService to handle onClearNotification function. Here are the steps:
Extract the StatusBarService$7.smali from attachment
If StatusBarService$7.smali does not exist before, just place it inside, if not, skip this step.
If StatusBarService$7.smali exists, Please rename the file to StatusBarService$8.smali (or whatever higher number that is unused) and rename all the line inside the file from
Code:
StatusBarService$7
to
Code:
StatusBarService$8
1.6 Edit smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarService.smali
UPDATE: This is the additional guide for other device when editing StatusBarService.smali. See here:
1. Generic java readout
2. HTC based
3. Samsung based
This is the file that generate NotificationView. Please take care of the changes here more carefully because there might be some differences between vendors in this file. Here are the steps:
Open StatusBarService.smali and find this function
Code:
.method makeNotificationView(Lcom/android/internal/statusbar/StatusBarNotification;Landroid/view/ViewGroup;)[Landroid/view/View;
Find this code in the makeNotificationView function body:
Code:
invoke-virtual {v0, v1, v2, v3}, Landroid/view/LayoutInflater;->inflate(ILandroid/view/ViewGroup;Z)Landroid/view/View;
move-result-object v18
const v4, 0x7f0b0014
move-object/from16 v0, v18
move v1, v4
invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Landroid/view/View;->findViewById(I)Landroid/view/View;
move-result-object v10
Insert the bold code below between the existing code:
Code:
invoke-virtual {v0, v1, v2, v3}, Landroid/view/LayoutInflater;->inflate(ILandroid/view/ViewGroup;Z)Landroid/view/View;
move-result-object v18
[B] check-cast v18, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/LatestItemContainer;
.line 516
.local v18, row:Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/LatestItemContainer;
move-object/from16 v0, v16
iget v0, v0, Landroid/app/Notification;->flags:I
move v4, v0
and-int/lit8 v4, v4, 0x2
if-nez v4, :cond_swno
move-object/from16 v0, v16
iget v0, v0, Landroid/app/Notification;->flags:I
move v4, v0
and-int/lit8 v4, v4, 0x20
if-nez v4, :cond_swno
new-instance v4, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarService$7;
move-object v0, v4
move-object/from16 v1, p0
move-object/from16 v2, p1
invoke-direct {v0, v1, v2}, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarService$7;-><init>(Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarService;Lcom/android/internal/statusbar/StatusBarNotification;)V
move-object/from16 v0, v18
move-object v1, v4
invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/LatestItemContainer;->setOnSwipeCallback(Ljava/lang/Runnable;)V
.line 735
:cond_swno[/B]
const v4, 0x7f0b0014
move-object/from16 v0, v18
move v1, v4
[B] invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/LatestItemContainer;->findViewById(I)Landroid/view/View;[/B]
move-result-object v10
Once again, change
Code:
StatusBarService$7
to
Code:
StatusBarService$8
line if you happened to have StatusBarService$8.smali as the result of renaming on the previous step.
IMPORTANT LOGIC TO BE UNDERSTOOD: This step tells the function to:
1. cast the already made View Object to LatestItemContainer instead of using LatestView class.
2. Filter if the Notification is removable or not
3. the LatestItemContainer object (v18) is assigned with onSwipeCallback(new StatusBarService$7)
Change the following (still on the same function body):
Code:
move v1, v4
invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Landroid/view/View;->setDrawingCacheEnabled(Z)V
.line 542
const/4 v4, 0x3
to
Code:
move v1, v4
[B] invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/LatestItemContainer;->setDrawingCacheEnabled(Z)V
[/B]
.line 542
const/4 v4, 0x3
Please note:
StatusBarService.smali might be different between vendor, so please adapt with your .smali to implement the above coding.
2. Editing framework.jar
2.1 editing smali/com/android/internal/statusbar/IStatusBarService$Stub.smali
Here are the steps:
Add this code on variable declaration part inside the file
Code:
.field static final TRANSACTION_onClearAllNotifications:I = 0xb
[B].field static final TRANSACTION_onNotificationClear:I = 0xc[/B]
.field static final TRANSACTION_onNotificationClick:I = 0x9
.field static final TRANSACTION_onNotificationError:I = 0xa
If the 0xc is already used on another static value, you must change it so it remains unique.
Find this code:
Code:
.method public onTransact(ILandroid/os/Parcel;Landroid/os/Parcel;I)Z
.registers 14
.parameter "code"
.parameter "data"
.parameter "reply"
.parameter "flags"

If you rename the static at the previous steps, please change the 0xc accordingly.
2.2 Editing smali/com/android/internal/statusbar/IStatusBarService$Stub$Proxy.smali

The bold one must match on one of the switch case value at the end of IStatusBarService$Stub.smali,
in my phone actually the valid one is the TRANSACTION_onNotificationError (0xa) so if your NotificationError is not 0xa but 0xb for example, please change the bold one to 0xb
Save
2.3 editing smali/com/android/internal/statusbar/IStatusBarService.smali
Insert this function code to the file. Here are the steps:
Insert these function code to the file:
Code:
.method public abstract onNotificationClear(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;I)V
.annotation system Ldalvik/annotation/Throws;
value = {
Landroid/os/RemoteException;
}
.end annotation
.end method
Save
There you have it AFAIK, the files that you need to take care more than others are:
1. smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarService.smali
2. res/values/public.xml
The rest can be applied from the attachment below directly. Ok that's all, after you are done, compile both SystemUI.apk and Framework.jar.
How to Compile the right way?
1. SystemUI.apk ->
Compile with APK Multi Tool, press y and y twice with all the requested input,
delete modified file from keep folder, and after that continue compiling.
Copy from original APK the META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml to the unsignedSystemUI.apk
rename unsignedSystemUI.apk to signedSystemUI.apk
select Zipalign from APK Multi Tool to optimize apk.
Rename to SystemUI.apk (move the original one just in case)
2. framework.jar ->
Smali inside Baksmali Manager
Replace classes.dex inside framework.jar with the generated one.
and apply on your phone.
Hope this helps you (programmer ofc, not end user ) to implement on your device.
G'day!

[Q] Power Menu Mods

I'm using DDLF2 firmware (rooted + deodexed + kuro kernel + etc, otherwise stock).
I didn't want to use a custom firmware because most of them change too much to my liking and I wanted to customize my phone myself.
One of the most basic things I needed was a Power Menu with Reboot and Data Mode Toggle, I was able to implement the "Reboot" option after following this thread, but was unable to find a way to enable the Data Mode Toggle.
I noticed that the files (icons) and strings required for that toggle are already present in framework-res.apk and GlobalActions.smali in android.policy.jar too has definitions for a DataModeToggle (highlighted in Red below).
Code:
new-array v0, v11, [Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$Action;
iget-object v1, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;->mSilentModeToggle:Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$ToggleAction;
aput-object v1, v0, v12

But it doesn't show up in the Power Menu. Any way to enable that? Went through a lot of documentation on smali/baksmali editing, but whatever I did didn't help a bit. Just want someone to put me in the right direction.
Thanks.

Flashlight Toggle & Battery Stats Toggle Mod Flashable-Settings-About Phone-Status-OFFICIAL Zip Updated 12-3-2014
Here is the flashable Flashlight Toggle Mod: VZW Flash Light Battery Stats Toggle Mod-Official Status
YOU MUST WAIT AT LEAST 5-10 MINS AFTER FLASHING FOR THE MOD TO WORK.
Some of you might also have to add "Flashlight" to your settings DB via SQLite. To see the toggle.
1) Download sqlite editor app. I got it from here.
2) Open the app and give it root permissions. It should populate a list.
3) Scroll and Tap the "Settings Storage"
4) Tap "Settings.db"
5) Tap "System"
6) Scroll down until you find "notification_panel_active_app_list", tap to highlight it. I noticed its a little hard to get it highlighted because it seems to want to highlight the one under it. So you might have to tap the one right above it to get it highlighted. Make sure its the notification_panel_active_app_list, and I also updated my notification_panel_active_app_list_reset NOT the notification_panel_default_active_app_list. I picked the wrong one the first time and it didnt work.
7) Once it is highlighted tap the phones menu button.
8) Tap "Edit Record"
9) You'll see a list of all the toggles that are currently enabled to show in notification area.
10) At the bottom of the list or anywhere else in the list add ; and the words Flashlight and Battery then another ;. So it will look like this at the end. ;TouchSensitivity;Flashlight;Battery; Then press Save.
11) Reboot and you should have a Flashlight and a Battery Stats toggle now. You can now use the edit feature and move it anywhere you want in the list of toggles.
This might also have a positive side effect of the following:
When you go to Settings-About Phone-Status it might say OFFICIAL!!!
Enjoy!!!

Thanks for the new mods, going to flash a few in a moment. as for the recents menu switcher, can something like gravitybox be used to restore the recents to a long press of the home button? or is this mod going to prevent that?

I just want to mention that, with respect to the guide to replace Recents with Menu, that you can leave that button alone and get the menu on pretty much any app by long-pressing the Recents button; and you can set your Home button to go to Search on long-press, without any mods. That way, you get to keep your Recents hardware key function.
By the way, I had a Note 3 where the Menu button was where that Recents button now is, and I have to admit the change in button configuration took some getting used to.

I will be doing recents to menu button as soon as i get my developer edition!!!

Same here.

Hey guys,
Can you give me more info on how to edit the generic.kl file to switch out the recent apps button to the menu button? I SuperSU installed, and the phone is rooted, but when trying to save the file it always errors out. I am using ES file explorer with the included ES note editor.

Nice work EMS Thank!!

[Verizon Note 4 Enable Native Call Recording
Thank you for the mod. I installed the zip with TWRP and rebooted the phone. On the dial screen, the former "+" button is now a "Record" button. When not on a call, it is grayed out, and when a call is initiated, it becomes black / active. When pressed, shows press, but nothing happens. Seems to do nothing in Native mode.
When I try to use TWRecord from xposed (made for a Note 3) nothing works, When I try Wanam (through drop down mwnu, button was switched back to "+"), I get a "can't record while a media search is running" popup. I look through running apps but can find no applicable app to be responsible for a media search. Have I done something wrong?
Once native call recording is enabled, do I need to install an app to manage the recording, or is there an internal app that will do so? What directory do the recordings go in if managed natively? What might be running a media search and how do I stop it?
Couldn't figure it out -- I must have unbloated the wrong things. Used a TWRP restore and now it works fine. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for your patience and help in advance.

Hi,
Thank you for the bunch of downloads to modify the phone!
I saw that you mentioned a way you found to not show the phone was rooted..
Would you be able to post up a download to show normal as your phone shows now?
Thank you for your help,
Bryan

Ok do you think it will be awhile would like to have it b4 I get my N4 so I can do it right in the beginning.
Not trying to rush at all but thus is a big deal showing normal if needing to send it back for warranty.
Thank you for your help,
Bryan

Probably for the best, haha. Curious, from what you've tested so far, does this avoid tripping Knox as well, effectively leaving your device under warranty in the event of a hardware failure? That's my only hang-up with rooting this, is that Samsung kills your warranty. Which I totally get for software, but if my power or home button stops working in a couple months, I'd like to be able to have it fixed...
Thanks for all of your work!

Any ideas how to disable the warning when Fingerprint scanning is enabled for the lockscreen? If I screw up, I'd like to just try again, but at the moment, the phone insists on forcing me to click "ok" first, reminding me that I only have 4 more attempts before I have to enter the backup password.
-Thanks

Problem with Nexus 6 that I dont understand...
The menu works perfect but the mod breaks the ability to tether! Strange?
I have a log cat here of the tether fail errors if you want to look at it: http://pastebin.com/Nhesq4sV
Maybe you can help us figure it out for Nexus 6.
