100 text per hour limit

has anyone found an easy way to remove the limit?
there are instructions here, i tried, but no luck:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626771&highlight=sms+limit
thought i'd give it a go with my hero buddies
let me know if you can help!
thx

Is this a proven limit on the Hero?
Stupidest thing I have ever heard.

it isn't so much as an actual limit...
it is a message that comes up letting you know that a large amount of SMS messages are being sent
so after an hour, it makes you hit "ok" to send for every text
it is built into android i believe not just the hero
it is really annoying
especially when using an SMS bomber (don't judge me!)

Judge not, that ye be not judged - Matthew 7:1
I'm installing the SDK on my new machine so I can look at this. Let you know what I find in a few.

This is from the thread you posted up top.. but i brought it here...

I got it to work! Heres how(taken from link above):
Open Command Terminal and enter the following:
adb shell
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Then you'll see: sqlite>
Then enter the following to alter the limit
INSERT INTO gservices (name, value) VALUES('sms_outgoing_check_max_count', 101);
(change 101 to your new limit)
I didnt try altering the limit so I hope it works for you guys.. but I can confirm this next one works. It completely turns off the limit altogether.
To turn off the limit enter:
INSERT INTO gservices (name, value) VALUES('sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms', 0);
It worked right away for me.. (SMS Bomber >)) Id reboot to be safe.

type
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
then sqite3 and so on from the instructions above.
I dont know if it will work. But it will help with the permission denied part.. If any one wants to comfirm if it works or not. Im not sending 100 text in an hour.

uh it should work if you type "adb shell" before typing it. Are you rooted? and I just copied the line directly from what i posted and it goes perfectly to the next line.

nvm
shouldn't have had a space before /system is all
but i still get permission denied at the next command

You're seeing a $ when you should be seeing a #. (# denotes root/superuser).
After you type adb shell, type this:
$ su (and then hit enter)
Your $ should change to:
#
Then do the rest of the commands above.

Thanks DG and Chainfire!! I was wondering when we would get another leak.
DG, when you releasing a new beta? I love version 9.1.3
Also, do we know of any other change logs from J16? (I'm sure we will find them out soon enough)

Thanks for this!! I'll try when i fix mine!

Seems mostly like bug fixes, more stripping out features for AT&T, this build is smoother, but seems hacked together in comparison to how clean JI6 was.

You are done. (as in I am bringing in a mod to deal with your crap)

Not going to waist my time flashing this, the last one had some pretty nasty bugs, it was stable yes but a bit buggy, besides this one seems to be missing stuff, il stick with JPM until official comes around.
btw:kaik541 just add him to your ignore list, thats what i did last time >;D

thanks for the release, what method is this one supposed to be flashed with? odin or?

Thank you as always DG! Any changes to GPS? Will the next Cog be built with this?

so will this be used for future builds or will we be sticking with the previous beta release?

cant get anything to go am now doing a master clear
HI DG,
I am trying this out but I cant get very far, I was able to root and sideload with superoneclick, everything wants to FC, phone, messaging, yp mobile, ect... so I am reflashing with repartition selected (this was a REAL Bad idea) cant mount dbdata ectect, now flashing back to stock. THanks cant wait till COG X

@designgears: This should work with your CogKernel right?
Have you released your kernel as a separate ODIN flashable tar?

Samsung Vibrant 4G is BLOATED!

I want to remove all the unwanted bull so bad!!! Off the back it comes with so much unnecessary apps from T-Mobile.
I have less then 200MB left!
I can't root because the confirmed root that's out is for Windows. (SuperOneClick)

So run a windows virtual environment... or you can always just do rage manually.
And of course its bloated. Every phone comes that way these days. Just gotta root my friend.

Ok this is my first Vibrant so what's Rage and is it perm root? I can't find anything that says Rage on the development page.

I also caught it 190MB at corp store.

You'll find the Vibrant and SGS4G to be very easy to root compared to MTG4. Its always perm.
EDIT: You need to rename SU-V2 to SU. no extension.
Use the files you extract from that superoneclick to execute this.
- Extract the files to the Tools folder of your Android SDK folder
- Place your phone into Debugging Mode (Settings, Applications, Development, check USB Debugging)
- Open the command prompt (Start > Run > cmd > Press Enter)
- cd c:/wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder (Example: C:\Android-SDK-Windows\Tools)
- Then type adb devices to verify that the phone is connected. If it is connected, you will see the device serial number.
- Type in the below commands:
- adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
- adb push su /sdcard/su
- adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox
- adb push rageagainstthecage /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
- adb shell From here, you will see a $ instead of C:/
- cd data/local/tmp The output will return the same command as inputted
- chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage
- ./rageagainstthecage At this point, let it run and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING until it returns to the DOS Prompt (C:\Android-SDK-Windows\Tools). This will take up to two minutes or so.
- adb shell This time it will show a # sign as opposed to the $ sign before
- All of the below commands will again return the same output as the input
- mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/stl9 /system
- cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
- cp /sdcard/su /system/xbin/su
- cp /sdcard/busybox /system/xbin/busybox
- chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
- chmod 4755 /system/xbin/busybox
- mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/stl9 /system
- Exit x2 to close out of adb shell and the command prompt
I THINK that should work. Use at your own risk.

All roots on this phone are perm roots. No need for temp.

Oh ok cool.
You mind giving me the link where you got your info from? You did say "THINK" it will work. Lol

Um... Google? To be honest I didn't get it from any one page in perticular, just pieced it together. I've actually done it before, I just can't remember this one detail:
- mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
I can't remember if that one line is right or not. The rest I know works.
EDIT: I just tested this line on my phone and it ran fine. I'd try it and let me know if it works.

Ok good enough or me, I will give it a try.
EDIT: By the way, I'm on a Mac.

Yea I kinda figured. Nothing we can do about that now I'm afraid, I only hope you've learned from your mistakes.

What mistakes? The process works just as if I was on Windows just instead of "adb" I type in "./adb". It should work, I'll give it a try.
One thing I wanted to mention was their is 2 versions of su in the SuperOneClick file. Does it matter which one I use? su-v1 and su-v2.

iOS and WP7 Devices aren't, and neither are T-Mobile's newer Blackberries. The excessive bloat seems to be a big thing on Symbian, Android, and Windows Mobile.

Hmmm... not sure why it didn't work. I'm half tempted to just tell you to download Wine for mac and run superoneclick, but you've come this far. I'd just keep going with the code and see what happens. Can't really screw it up, it just won't work.
EDIT: Looks like I had this wrong. I think it should be:
- mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/stl9 /system

Ok I tried the command over right before that step and now it's working.
I'm assuming "cp" is copy and paste? How do I do that? Because I typed in "cp" thinking it's part of the command, but it says "cp: not found".

Try "Busybox cp" I think you also can use dd: "dd if=/sdcard/su of=/system/xbin/su" instead of cp.

[ROOT][GUIDE] Enable Google Voice Search for Kodi 18 on Fire TV

The following steps activate the Google Voice Search with Google Assistant so that it can be used in a current Kodi 18 Nightly Build on a Fire TV.
The tutorial assumes that an alternative launcher, e.g. AppStarter, is used because Amazon Alexa voice search is completely replaced by Google Assistant. Xposed edge and HDXPosed must also be installed and activated. Before installing it is recommended to make a backup of the system and data partition via TWRP if you have connected an external sdcard. Many thanks to @SimLynks for some tips from his PlayFire modification.
If you want to use the complete Leanback Launcher with integrated Chromecast, then have a look at my more comprehensive guide: Link
This manual is only possible with a rooted device!
Tested on a Fire TV 4k box
Firmware 5.2.6.2
Instructions:
Unpack all zip files and copy all apk in the appendix to C:\adb\
1. Disabling unnecessary and Google Voice Recognition blocking Amazon apps
Code:
adb shell su -c pm disable com.amazon.advertisingidsettings
adb shell su -c pm disable com.amazon.device.sale.service
adb shell su -c pm disable com.amazon.tv.legal.notices
adb shell su -c pm disable com.amazon.tv.nimh
adb shell su -c pm disable com.amazon.tv.settings/com.amazon.tv.settings.tv.AppDisableService
adb shell su -c pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.vizzini
(Notice: Disable com.amazon.vizzini works too, but I noticed that the app reactivates itself from time to time.)
2. Customize build.prop
View attachment mod-build.prop.zip
Code:
adb shell su -c mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push C:\adb\mod-build.prop.sh /sdcard/
adb shell su -c sh /sdcard/mod-build.prop.sh
adb shell su -c rm /sdcard/mod-build.prop.sh
adb shell su -c mount -o remount,ro /system
3. Adjust permissions for voice recognition
View attachment tv_core_hardware.zip
Code:
adb shell su -c mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push C:\adb\tv_core_hardware.xml /sdcard/
adb shell su -c cp /sdcard/tv_core_hardware.xml /system/etc/permissions/tv_core_hardware.xml
adb shell su -c chmod 644 /system/etc/permissions/tv_core_hardware.xml
adb shell su -c chown root:root /system/etc/permissions/tv_core_hardware.xml
adb shell su -c rm /sdcard/tv_core_hardware.xml
adb shell su -c mount -o remount,ro /system
4. Install Open Google apps for Android TV
(If you already have the Google Apps installed, you can skip this and the next section.)
Download the matching zip file and copy it to the sdcard.
Open GApps for ARM (Fire TV sticks)
Open GApps for ARM64 (Fire TV boxes)
Copy the customized gapps-config.txt to the same directory as the GApps on the sdcard.
View attachment gapps-config.txt
Then install the GApps zip via TWRP and restart the device. Please don't sign up for Google Play Store yet!
5. Allow Google registration (NoTouchAuthDelegate)
View attachment Tv-NoTouchGsf.apk
Code:
adb shell su -c mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push C:\adb\Tv-NoTouchGsf.apk /sdcard/
adb shell su -c chmod 755 /system/app/NoTouchAuthDelegate/
adb shell su -c rm /system/app/NoTouchAuthDelegate/NoTouchAuthDelegate.apk
adb shell su -c cp /sdcard/Tv-NoTouchGsf.apk /system/app/NoTouchAuthDelegate/NoTouchAuthDelegate.apk
adb shell su -c chmod 644 /system/app/NoTouchAuthDelegate/NoTouchAuthDelegate.apk
adb shell su -c chown root:root /system/app/NoTouchAuthDelegate/NoTouchAuthDelegate.apk
adb shell su -c rm /sdcard/Tv-NoTouchGsf.apk
adb shell su -c mount -o remount,ro /system
6. Install Google app to enable voice recognition (com.google.android.katniss)
Now restart the device and then sign in to Google Play Store. Attention, the Google Play Store is a system app and therefore only appears in the AppStarter if the display of system apps is activated. Alternatively you can use my modified conFIREator.
Then search for and install the "Google" app on the Play Store. It'll take a while.
(Notice: The search does not work with the search button on the remote!)
7. Adjust the Xposed edge key configuration for the search button of the Fire TV remote
Activate the "Keys" in the Xposed edge and add the new KEYCODE_SEARCH key (simply press the search key on the Fire Remote for recognition).
Use "Single Click" with the activity "com.google.android.katniss\.search.SearchActivity" and leave "Long press" empty. This is the standard function, you first have to click and release the microphone, wait until the input is ready ("Speak Now" appears), and then press and hold the microphone and speak again.
(Notice: Alternatively you also can only link the action "Long press" with the activity "com.google.android.katniss\.search.SearchActivity". Then you have everything at the touch of a button: activate and speak. You should try it the way you like it best.)
Reboot for the last time.
That's all and now you can start the voice search by pressing and holding the search button in Kodi.
Google Assistant also now finds hits in Kodi (movies, tv shows, music), along with other sources such as YouTube, if Kodi already is running.
Once you have installed the PlayFire TV settings, you can choose which apps the Google Assistant is allowed to search for hits.
(Notice: The activation of the detection can take up to 5 seconds in individual cases, but usually it is very fast. Just hold down the search button and wait. But this is also the case on an Android TV.)
