Hello I wanted to see if anyone has had any luck getting stock android MMS.apk to work on MF3? On MDL I was able to just drop it in /system/app change permissions and it would work. I tried to do the same on MF3 and it didn't do anything. I renamed it to SecMMS.apk and it kept crashing and it took away the time on the my lock screen...would this be due to the new Samsung KNOX? I knew what I was getting myself into when I updated to MF3 (i'm still rooted) and its not a deal breaker for me if I can't use android MMS but i'd prefer it. Any help would be appreciated.
Bump? Anyone?

Hey guys, I exchanged my ME7 for a MDK and have it rooted and TWRP 2.5.0.2 installed.
I want to try out stock MDK for awhile but am tired of the system update notice to ME7.
How can I prevent the notice from continuing to pop up?

First why would you run older software? Second delete FotaClient.apk, FWUpdate.apk and LocalFota.apk and the odex files from system/apps.
Just want to see how it runs... specifically watching battery life.
No problem with the apk's, I'll get rid of those.
Not at all familiar with odex files....remove all or specific ones?
Think I'm in the wrong forums...I meant to be in the Verizon SCH-i545 forum..
Mods - please delete this thread.

Same info as OP but only on this gs4. Rooted MDL twrp and uaing stock tw rom. Only reason i rooted was to bring my appdata from old s3 to s4. Never got notice of mf3 ir mj9.
Also cant for the life of me find the stock 3e recovery on here for the s4 to overwrite twrp

The reason I asked the OP is he was vague in what he was looking for... and if you are looking for the same answer to what the OP was looking for.. then I'm not sure I can help since it was vague to begin with.
You did however post some data that I think I can help or point you to.
1st let me start by saying that if you are on MDL, I would HIGHLY suggest you do not take any updates for AT&T (which you cannot anyway since you are on TWRP) If at any point you froze or removed files like LocalFOTA and / or AT&T Software Update you will NOT be getting notifications of MF3 or MJ9 from AT&T, if that TW Stock ROM was a custom ROM, it might have come that way, If not.. i'm not sure why you wouldn't get the notification. I would just be grateful I didn't but that's just me.
LOTS of people here wish they were on MDL (including myself) since MF3 or MJ9 have locked bootloaders. If you just want to update your GS4 then do a little reading here to find a TW ROM that is MF3 4.2.2 Based or MJ9 4.3 Based.

thanks I appreciate it. unfroze localfota and mf3 came through right away. still haven't done it yet and refroze the program. honestly I don't install custom roms and was looking forward to a couple new features of the 4.3. Namely gear support, the brighter screen and a newer modem that is faster.
I'm rooted with official status on the stock rom

You can accomplish the same without going the AT&T way.

Does this exist yet?
My G/F's S4 has the MK2 kernel. All I've done so far is root it and remove the bloat and the KNOX apps. I know about the KNOX bootloader and don't care much about that as it's already "tripped".
Anyway I'd love to see someone take the stock ROM and remove the KNOX apps and the bloat, add ROOT and voila! Does this exist yet? If not would any one like to take a stab at it?
If not then can anyone tell me how this process differs from MK2? If this is all pretty much the same I might just take a stab at it taking it all out manually like I did with it before.
Thanks!
My Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 (rooted with CF-Auto-Root) has been repeatedly downloading and notifying me of a 398.8MB update. It comes up every couple of weeks and I have allowed it to install several times.
I maintain root after the reboot, but it keeps coming back. I'm currently on Android version 4.3 (MK2 build).
Is there anything I can do to get past this update and hopefully get 4.4?
Thanks in advance.

I am not sure you can stop the update box from going away (short of a custom rom).
I believe you just have to deal with it, if you want to stay on 4.3

Hi Vandy. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my question. I don't want to stay on 4.3...I want to get to 4.4 (Kit Kat), but it seems like I'm stuck on this 389.8MB update that keeps coming back even after I have allowed it to install.
I'm hoping that someone else has experienced this "repeated" update and can tell me how I can go about moving past it so that I can get to some newer updates.
Thanks - Chung in NYC
Your best option is to install the full NAE stock tar file with Odin. The update is failing because you either have a custom recovery installed, modified system files, or deleted something. OTAs can't complete unless your stock. Look for a thread from random45 in the android development thread and download the NAE stock tar from there. You won't lose any of your data, but you will have to reroot your phone afterwards.

Hey all-
I have sprint galaxy s4 SPH-L720 (dont have spark) i'm no longer using. I got phone when it came out long ago and rooted with first method that came out (not sure what its called). Not sure if I ever even changed rom on this phone (although I don't see any sprint bloatware on here so maybe its different rom). It's currently on Android version 4.2.2. Anyways I want to give this phone away to significant other as her screen cracked on her s4.
What's the easiest way to get back to stock rom that's newest version? I'd like to keep root access if possible.
Saw this thread in android development area: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2650706 but not sure what to download..
what do MJA/MK2/NAE/MDC/MDL/MF9 mean?
If I'm okay giving up root how what's the proper sequence? Flash to stock rom, then triangle away, then factory data reset??
thnx
BUMP, any help??
Since you say you are still on 4.2.2 you can try using this.
