Need help with volume boost - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I found Jovy23's volume boost thread, while looking for a way to boost my volume without installing a different ROM. I downloaded 7zip and notepad++. I tried to edit via the notepad but couldn't get it to edit (says document was read only): tried to edit via ES File editor right on the phone, but when I was done step one and tried to save it. The changes would not save. I am unable to use either method to change this....Any help would be appreciated....thanks:good:

I went to the link and tried to understand, but am still lost...don't do this stuff often and am not sure how to do any of this

If it is read only, you can probably use the root browser in rom toolbox app it to read and write. Locate the file and then long press the file. Scroll down and click on properties and change permissions.

[MOD] Flash 10.3 Working HULU Updated: 8/9/11

Thanks goes to s197 From incredibleforum.com
I just reuploaded the file and pieced together two different posts of his to get the original to work on this phone.
Hope you all enjoy!
Thanks to KhasMek and anyone else i forgot!
also, make sure your browser is not set to use mobile. it will not work if it is set to that. so if your using stock browser un-check mobile view. if your using dolphin HD make sure your User Agent is set to Desktop.
Flash 10.3 + Hulu_8 is version 10.3.186.3
Edit 2:
updated for new flash, thanks Almighty1 for the edited libflashplayer.so that's been put into the latest flash from market
and added a zip of the modded .so file. i had no problem installing it though after i uninstalled the previous version of the apk.
You can use root uninstaller from market to uninstall some of those apps, such as flash, that come pre-installed on your phone. If you do it that way, make sure to do a reboot after you uninstall flash to make sure it uninstalls all the way.
compuw22c has also made a flashable version if you guys prefer.
compuw22c said:
Hey guys, visitor from the Epic forums but I loved these hacked libs, but had issues with them sticking on reboot after upgrading to gingerbread. I've compiled them into a CWM flashable zip located in This Post or This DL Link. Details included in the post, credit goes to imneveral0ne for the hex-edited lib files. Enjoy guys! (actually, I'm not quite sure if you guys have this issue or if you have a GB leak out, but regardless, if it doesn't stick on reboot or in 4 days when you get your update, you'll be ready)

I've made this quick little hack to get flash working on any rom (that I've tested).
http://www.mediafire.com/?j4i91phv6g96rtm
Basically, you need to be root. Extract the files to your phone (system -> /system, data -> /data) and reboot. You need to have stock flash installed. It basically patches the libflashplayer on startup so you don't have to manually.

Ok i got Hulu working on my Thunderbolt by following these steps.
1. Download Flash 10.2 on your phone, make sure its set to not auto update
2. Download http://www.mediafire.com/file/en3tj77er9ucrqp/libflashplayer.so
3. Use Root Explorer or ADB to put the file in: /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib
4. If it asks if you want to overwrite the file chose yes, i know it will if you use root explorer, not sure about adb cause i didnt use it.
5. Enjoy Hulu on your ThunderBolt!

hm doesn't seem to work on my phone.. I was on Urban Regen and I flashed it and it hung at the samsung logo. Then I had to wipe and reinstall so I tried SFR1.2 and it hung at the samsung logo again?! I'm using the universal version btw.
do I have to delete everything in the init.d folder then flash?
Just did the same to me on SFR 1.2. Looks like I'm going to nandroid back
Did you guys check init.d folder to see if you have more than 8 files before adding it? I read that people are deleting everything in init.d if they do then add this with success. I haven't had a chance to try it yet myself.

use a file browser with root. either es or root explorer.
I need you to hold my hand a little more. I can't find system.
Edit. I found it and I have 9 files in there. What do I do with that? Is there only supposed to be no more than 8?

Unable to click install button from apk file

I am currently running the latest paranoid android Rom on my nexus 4 using Franco's milestone 2 kernel. I am having problems installing apps that I downloaded (e.g., Adobe flash update). What happens is I can see the installation screen with the different permissions, but I cannot click on the install button. It works when I install apps from the play store but not through root browser, astro, es explorer. I have tried other apks to make sure it's not just that one file. As well, I had even removed those dimmer apps like twilight and lux before installing. I also stopped the running applications and then tried installing. I'm stumped and I have no idea what to try next. Maybe there is another uncommon app that I need to uninstall before installing off my card...
If anyone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.

you can not install adobe flash from the play store, flash does not support android 4.2.2. yoy would need to install it from the adobe site list of past flash updates. same with any other app from the play store that doesnt support the nexus 4 or the right android version.

Also AppWidgetDisplay for Sony Smartwatch causes such behavior.
There is another way which will always work, If you don't want to waste your time.
Just use adb to install. As shown in the post below.

Pull the one you want from free rom, rename the force one with bak after .apk. push the free one and set permissions and reboot. Should work fine, make a nandroid before, just in case

according to other users, it doesn't work on force rom, or any rom for that matter.
as a matter of fact, the op says not to use with any rom, just for stock rooted.

[Q] Auto Call-reject .apk

I just installed the S4 Super ROM (TW)(Acheron), and I am loving it. The only thing I miss from the stock TW is the ability to add numbers to an Auto-reject list. That feature was apparently stripped from the ROM. Can someone identify which .apk does Auto Call-reject so I can find and reload it? I'd post to the dev's thread but due to less than 10 posts am blocked from doing so.
Thanks!

That is what I would like to be able to do. However, the "call rejection" option is missing. "setup call rejection messages" is at the top of the list. Is it just me? I assumed that all SuperS4 users are missing this option.
If I were to copy and replace sec.contacts.apk and or sec.phone.apk from another S4 TW rom, perhaps a stock version, would I potentially blow things up, or is that pretty safe?
