Is there anyone working on this?
Or close to being done?
ForceRom has them on the to do list.
But im not sure on progress.
anyone have any updates?
Also I know some international roms have in app call recording toggle, is there anyway to port that for sprint? I dont see why it wouldnt work since it has nothing to do with the phone radio. Im guessing it the rom it will just be the secphone.apk? If someone confirms that ill give it a shot and report back.
I, too, really want the Call Recorder function but it seems like either no one on the Sprint side knows how to implement it or don't care enough about it. I know the Wanam rom for the i9505 has Call Recording enabled. You could flash that rom & get it. Just follow the tutorial for installing ROMs from other S4's to our S4.

do you have a link to that to tutorial?
So I decided im going to try using thee Wanam Lite secphone.apk, and push it to Force Rom.
I am downloading Wanam right now, so when I get done ill report back and let yall know if it worked or not.
It will be super awesome if this works, because I know many sprint users would love to have call recording,
and this should be a pretty simple process.
com.sec.phone kept crashing over and over. and I had no signal.
shuld I get the com.sec.phone from wanam also?
Another Sprint S4 user had success & got Call Record working by flashing the entire Wanam ROM. The tutorial has been deleted, it seems. If I remember correctly, you're supposed to flash the Wanam ROM then flash a Sprint S4 kernel right after in the same session.
Perhaps create a nandroid first then try? If I remember that user's name, I'll let you know or maybe he'll chime in here.

I dont mind flashing it, but the thing is i saw a thread talking about it and apparently people still couldnt get data after, even after they flashed the sprint kernel. Also read it needs to be a touchwiz kernel.
i flashed it, and its working great. everything works on it except for data.
so can anyone help me out with the apns?
and where do I enter the apn settings on the gs4?

Exactly
I posted this in another thread, not sure if it works. My guess is that you'd have to copy the settings from a Sprint ROM and then manually input them after flashing an I9505 ROM.

You should be able to get to some if not all of those settings, by dialing ##3282##. You will need to enter your MSL number. There is a thread here in the Sprint forum, on how to get your MSL. I used, get my MSL from Gplay and it worked. Just follow the directions Once in, right down all of the settings and then put those settings in, once the different carrier's rom is installed. Good luck, and let us know the outcome

1st of all, my main problem, was finding the apns in the wanam rom. I was able to find them in the sprint rom, because ##data# works. but when you go to the i9505 rom, that dial code does not work. I actually ended up getting access to the aps by using an app from gplay, called offline sim apn database. it has an option that opens up your apn list, and from there you can edit them, so I took all 4 of my sprint apn's, and entered them. there was 2 lte apn's and 2 ehrpd apn's. Well after high hopes, that was all I had. nothing happened. so there is definitely more than just entering apn's. I messed around with *#0011# for like 2 hours, trying to figure something out, but I got no results. so imo, we will just have to wait til something gets figured out. I personally am stuck for now,

If you decide you really want to do it, check around XDA for Rom porting threads. There are a few easy to follow TUT's on this. They may just get you where you wanna be
Stock TW has a flashlight widget called "Assistive Light" that is built in and super quick.

For a flashlight toggle, I'm using "Mappz Quick Settings" from Play Store. It gives you AOSP-style Quick Settings tiles, including one for Torch, that you get by pulling down from the center of the top. If you pull down from the top left or top right you get the regular TW Quick Settings and Notifications.
The "Torch" moment's likely csn be interested into the Lockscreen and prolly added to the notification tray. I'm hoping to finish the toggle for turning on/off the am/pm & Time today. I'll look I to the Torch toggle this afternoon.

If someone ask me why I don't want that my work is used, it means that you don't know xda rules so here i report the #12 that explain the sharing policy for both rom and kernel.
Cyanoid kernel is for cyanoid rom only.
XDA Rule #12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails, you may then contact a Moderator and provide clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in the copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence that it was you who created the work, then in the spirit of sharing, all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by that developer. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie, allowing certain people to use it and not others). Should the developer decide to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes fair game for all to use, albeit with the relative credit displayed.
In regard to permissions, the same rules apply for this but if permission was already given and unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under extreme circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

wifi tethering really works? impressive I don't think anyone's fixed that yet on ICS for this device or is there some other workaround that I don't know about? also wow I never seen a installer with a custom gui/touchscreen controls like this this is pretty cool. love the installation percentage meter too!
ok super brief testing theres a bug on first boot the back to home button won't work at all but restarting the phone fixes that.
and a continuous bug that seems to be on all custom roms I've tried whenever I use my Amaysim brand sim card on a custom rom it says the carrier is "Yes Optus" which is the owner of the network im on but they resell to Amaysim and so Amaysim's name should be coming up but since it isn't or for some other reason the APN fields are blank and trying to add to it, it won't save a APN so I can't get any mobile data at all. Phone calls and Texts will still work oddly.
But if I use this same sim card on my phone with stock gingerbread I can get data and it will say Amaysim as my carrier weird problem right?
If I use another simcard that's not Amaysim like Telstra (different operator) it works fine and mobile data will work.
Interesting rom I'll keep testing.

I always clear Dalvik cache before installing a new rom but still the home key wouldn't work but all I did was restart/reboot and that fixed it.
Very cool if I get that APN/carrier issue solved I'll try out the tethering.
thanks for your response.

I'll make a video for you tomorrow showing you what I mean.
I know how to save apns it's just after I click save it does nothing.
I don't think the carrier name is a problem I just think it's a symptom of something else being an issue. Yes there is a way to change the carrier name to whatever I want it to be but I doubt that'll allow me to start using mobile data.

Does that block you from using mobile data and are default apn settings showing up?
So since it's a Aosp setting any idea on how to fix it to enable data usage? seems weird how it's only occurring on some sims.

If by Aosp settings you mean Quick notifications panel settings for "change Carrier Label" yeah no that doesn't fix the APN issue.
Here I took a video for you It shows my Amaysim Sim card going in but Shows Yes Optus and no ability to save an APN or use Data.
and it shows I can use a vodaphone sim with mobile data and it has default apn already on it. no clue why one works and the other doesn't
anyway heres the video youtube should be cutting out the shaky-ness of it but if you catch it too soon you see it all shaky sorry about that.

When you made this edit did the Advanced Calling options go away in settings?
It's doing that on custom ROM oddly.
But you can still turn off Video Calling in call/settings, but can't get turn AC off completely unless you backtrack the MOD. Was a PITA tracking down what was taking AC away from settings menu and turns out to be this one single edit lol

AC = auto call? I can still turn it off and on without it crashing, but haven't tested if it actually disables if I uncheck it.
Flying home tonight. So I'll check then.

AC = Advanced Calling, sorry.
I think misunderstood my question.
So with customs ROMs I have ran into an issue where I lost the Advanced Calling and Tethering options in Settings menu (see attached screenshot). I finally after way too many hours, tracked the problem down to this one MOD (I had to find if it was from an app I was editing, then down to edits in the system, finally found it was in the customize folder and then in ACC/default.xml and even in there took forever as I had many changes). As soon as I make the edit and reboot they are gone, make edit back to stock and they show.
Everything still works fine - in regards to Advanced Calling, HD Calling and Wi-Fi Calling but those settings menu options just aren't there to turn on and off. I can get to an option to turn off Video Calling (see 2nd attached screenshot) which then leaves it into HD Calling state.
What I do as a workaround is keep a default.xml.bak with this MOD removed if I ever need to get into the options for w.e reason and they are only a reboot away.
Not the biggest problem, but very strange indeed. I made the same edit on M8, but M9 as well and never ran into this issue.
I was wondering if you had this issue as well after doing this MOD.

I couldn't figure out why it was missing and tracked it down to this one edit. Very weird. You should try setting it back to 2 value and reboot and see if Advanced Calling comes back.

Thanks for the directions on this @andybones - Verizon's constant wifi notification nag drives me nuts.
Just applied this to @santod040's Nougat stock rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...m-1-85-605-9-aroma-root-root-debloat-t3529732) and it appears to continue to behave as you expect: lost the Advanced Calling and Wifi Tethering options out of the Settings menu. I can still get at the tethering via the sub-menu 'Mobile network sharing' as well as the quick settings pane so good to go. Too bad this even has to be a thing. #&$*#&$ Verizon

Very welcome. I know of another method to remove the WiFi Nag and still keep the Menus correctly in Settings. It's actually a method that we used on the M8 if I recall correctly. The current method posted here was what we used on the M9, and strangely had no affect to Settings Menu, even though the M9 also has Advanced Calling. I remember testing this method out a little bit ago on the 10, and all was fine. However to be sure, I am posting a .zip with the edited .apk and a .zip with stock, to go back to stock, and also if anyone wants to see what was done. Simple edits of removing 10 .png images.

Not sure if this will help 100%, but I am sure i can't hurt.
Since you're rooted you can go ahead and install this by flashing the zip in recovery.
After you have booted back up, open the new incall modz control app.
Then hit the three lines on the top left to open the control menu options.
Scroll down and click the advanced hidden menu section.
This section opens up several hidden menus.
You can look through and see what may give you the options you're looking for.
I suggest using the "apn unlocking" to give you access to edit the apn setting.
You can also play around in the "phone testing menu" section and look within the field test secrion to force LTE.
I must say BE CAREFUL because you could change a setting that may require a restore/reinstall of your rom!.
I have played with a lot of settings and never done any real damage, seems like it would just close the app of the option wasn't compatible with my phone.
The hidden menus are also accessible via a dialer code (which varies per device variant and there are playstore apps as well, don't remembwr the names.
I only suggest the mod, because it is part of ny oZoP project and it will give you lots of customizations for the caller id, plus the advanced hidden menu that i beleive you could use. Like i said though, there are other options and the choice is yours.
Good luck

Well it looks like I don't need to answer the first question, but I will just mention for other users, the mod has been tested and confirmed working on every "stock" based rom without issue.
As far as the menu options not showing, it looks to me if the setup you are running has had the files needed for the options debloated or possibly that variant doesn't include them by default.
I have attatched a flashable zip of the files needed, but I DO RECOMMEND MAKING A FULL BACKUP just in case.
After you get your backup finished just flash the zip in recovery and proceed back to the app for the extra options.
Good luck again and let me know how that goes. Your feedback is valuable to me so I can ensure that everyone gets the same experiance as I intended

Thank you for your help I can't get around having lte on my v20 with metro pcs when I force lte only my phone says I have no service so looks like I'm going to have to switch service providers
A few hours ago I received a notification on my Sprint LG V20 that an app was updated. Upon closer inspection I found that it was actually a new app installed through the LG Update service center or "LGinstallservice" i.e the one that updates LG's stock proprietary apps like Qmemo and their Clock app and so forth.
The app is called DrAPN_N and it installed itself as a system app. It is currently and has been running in the background process of my phone since that time.
A quick Google search only yielded a Reddit thread with a few more confused LG users with a couple different LG devices that had received the same app on their device (a few posts from today and some a few days back).
My guess (and big emphasis on the word guess) is that it's some sort of hotfix that updates the apn info that sprint has them lock down and isnt editable to a user without modifications, hence the name "Dr. APN". If that's the case I'd be curious what it changes and why. I also just remembered Sprint was doing some spectrum modifications on their old 2g network (or something like that) and realize now that it could have something to do with Sprints repurposing to increase coverage in rural areas. I forget what they are calling that rollout but that along with the name kinda equals my best guess on all of this as of now.
Screenshot below. Thanx for any input or info.
My stock unrooted TMobile variant just got that yesterday. I was wondering what it was.
I remember seeing DRapn. So i guess it's not just a Sprint thingy.
I got this app yesterday. I'm using a sprint v20, but not on sprint or in America. Previously I had been using Textra to use custom APN settings to get MMS working, and it had been fine. But upon installation of this app, those custom changes were no longer applied. Reapplying them has no effect, and now, though sms and call still functions, MMS does not. If this app represents an attempt to lock down custom APN usage, that would be distressing but would explain my failure to get MMS working now despite my efforts. I'm still looking for (an unrooted) solution to uninstall or work around this app. (I would root but am on the latest firmware and don't believe it's rootable right now, though I haven't checked in a while.)
This app just installed on my Sprint LG G5 about an hour ago and I called LG support about it. They didn't have an answer for me, but they said they would call me back when they had an answer. I'll post anything I find out here.
The app installed on my phone today. LG V20
If someone can post the apk, it could probably be disassembled to see what it does... Otherwise everyone's making guesses
DrAPN_N
It just intalled itsself on my rooted sprint v20, link to apk:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-R7ZSHt-19Bl2XJvV9sANjWsEdat8rb-/view?usp=drivesdk
Uninstalling it and disabling the LG service that installed it now. :good:
I thought I would add that (as this app was making it impossible for my APN settings to be retained longer than a few minutes on my sprint lg V20 being used outside USA) I set about to disable it. The disable button was greyed out so I denied it permissions to change system settings and deleted its cache. To my suprise it still had the effect of undoing my APN settings. So I disabled it via ADB, and that did the trick. Been using the phone for 24 hours since and noticed no issues.
ADB?

Can you please explain how you did the process through ADB? I'm in need of doing this myself...thanks

according to LG , this app is supposed to determine and program APN automatically based on inserted SIM.
Would be nice if it had a GUI to disable itself. Do you have non-Sprint APN? What happens to your APN settings? do they reset back to sprint?
Does new APN gets unselected? deleted?

Thanks for that information.
I do have a non Sprint APN. I'm using a Sprint phone outside USA. I had had to set my phone to expect an AT&T connection, in a secret dialer menu, to get it fully working. (I described the process above.) I expect my weird set up did something Drapn was not expecting, causing it to mess up the issue it was meant to address.
Forgive this lengthy reply, but I'll leave it in case others have the same problem. Before this Drapn issue, just editing APN in regular stock android settings, while it allowed most data to work, and sms, would not allow MMS or certain kinds of messaging, like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. I have no idea why, though I did find other users online with the same problem using sprint phones outside America. Eventually I fixed the problem by marking the phone AT&T in the secret dialer menu, as described in my previous post in this thread. At that point the APN settings took hold. Until Drapn was installed, which perhaps got confused between the Sprint/AT&T/My Carrier settings. I could input APN settings into the stock android system settings, and sometimes it would work initially (other times, if I edited too many fields, the entry would vanish after I saved it) but always it would stop working after a few minutes or at least inside an hour. Had I factory reset the phone, and attempted my modifications from scratch with Drapn installed, perhaps it would have worked fine. Then again perhaps the necessary changes would have been impossible to implement.
I am not sure what APN settings Drapn was reverting me to. My custom entry would either remain but stop functioning, or else be deleted, and also stop functuoning. All I know is that nothing worked until I disabled Drapn with ADB, having deleted its cache and revoked its permissions.
Because I was using a phone modified within a secret dialer menu, I don't figure I can get 100% mad at LG for pushing an app that borked my phone. You play with fire you get burned, etc. Then again, pushing an app with no transparency as to what it does, and no freedom to disable it, is certainly not the best. I suppose now I have to worry if accepting the Oreo update will reintroduce this issue and leave my phone inoperable outside the USA.

check out the LG V30 threads. this is exactly what happened there. Unlocked by sprint phones became locked again after Oreo update. And if you are no longer on Sprint network you are stuck. So yes, you have all the reasons to worry.

Yikes. Thanks for that. Just read through a big thread, what a mess. Looking like I'll likely be trapped on Nougat. Much appreciated, at least I didn't find out the hard way.
