Im not sure how many have seen the info on the stagefright hack but has anyone heard of samsung or verizon releasing a fix as i know google has already sent them the patch to fix it. for those who do not know stagefright is a hack sent through mms that allows the hacker full control and access to your device including text pics, videos, microphone etc
Samsung released an app to disable MMS for now. I'm trying to figure out how to patch my phone. Anyone with experience on patching a ROM with the patch files?

In Kitkat, only default sms app can get and set sms. But I found the new sms software hangouts does not work on sms. So I get a mms.apk from aosp rom and it can run but show it is not the default sms app, and change this in setting. Then I open the sms setting and tells me touch to set default sms app. I do touch but useless.

I too have this problem, the entire system menu where you would be able to select the default SMS application appears to be missing in the Deb build. I suspect that this has to do with the telephony apk or framework.
Maybe some kindhearted developer will be able to work us up a patch.
Right! The setting should be in the wireless and networks. Need someone to mod the framwork.

Get Back the Old SMS Interface in KitKat with 8sms

This does not work on the 4.4 build for Deb. The entire menu to select a default SMS app is disabled/missing. Hopefully someone will come out with a patch soon, but for now, your information is false.
I think you need to go into the settings within 8sms and select stand alone mode and then it will work for you.

That setting does not exist in SMS applications on 4.4 and even if it did it would NOT work. In order for a SMS application to read and write the SMS hooks on 4.4 is is absolutely required that it be set as the one and only default SMS application. A setting which is NOT available on our devices. Until someone figures out how to reenable it in the telephony framework and puts out a flashable patch NO SMS application will work on stock, official, 4.4 for Deb.
Do you understand the issue here now?

The link I gave above says it works in 4.4 on the Nexus 5. Why would 4.4 on the Nexus 7 be different? I have it working in Jelly Bean on my N7 but I won't sideload Kitkat until I have time later this week, so I won't be able to test it out til then.

Because the Nexus 7 does not officially support SMS and Google made the boneheaded move of disabling it altogether. If you care to look back a few days you'll notice that it is also impossible to get Hangouts SMS working on the LTE Nexus 7, so, this isn't an entirely new issue, Google just fired another shot.
I'm sitting here with the device in front of me running the stock 4.4 build, I've looked through ever menu and every setting for the past two days. It does not work.
It does not work because Google decided it shouldn't work.
The SimpleMessageReciever application appears to be hardcoded as the only application capable of reading the SMS hook, and Write appears to be completely disabled. A patch is the ONLY way.
If you require SMS functionality on your LTE Nexus 7, do NOT upgrade to (stock) KitKat until someone figures out how to fix it.
Did you open 8sms and go into the settings within the app and see if the stand alone mode is there? Like I said, Ihave it working for mme on Jelly Bean.

The setting is NOT there. I've spent the last two days coming at this issue from every possible angle. IT DOESN'T WORK and won't without a framework patch. (A similar issue to that with tethering on ATT, which also requires a patch to remove something stupid that Google decided to hard code).
Even if the setting was there, it wouldn't matter because that is no longer how KitKat handles SMS applications. I read the f'ing documentation.
edit: Nothing you say about JB is relevant, KitKat completely changed the way SMS is handled, and Google *intentionally* broke the ability to select a client on Deb, so, it will not work without a patch. There is NO other way. Everything you can suggest, I've tried already... twice.
Not to be rude, but I really have and people suggesting the same thing over and over, things that I've clearly stated don't work, or things that are in the 4.4 documentation as no longer applicable is really starting to bug me.
Well, I didn't mean to upset you. All I have is the link I posted saying it does work in Kitkat on the Nexus 5. I'm sure I'll be upset too if it's not working by the time I finally get 4.4 loaded. I'll just have to wait and see.

It doesn't work, stand alone only works for 4.3 below...
Most settings are disabled...
Edit:
Try this guys, I can do a balance inquiry using it, but i couldn't test it with other number since I don't have a regular load and it's too late to go out now 1:26 am here...
You can't set it as default sms app though....

Hello everyone,
With the new update "lollipop" rolling out with verizon I have been waiting to see if Foxfi will work with Lollipop before I download the new update. I have been waiting to see a post with this information but I have not seen one yet. So I pose the question.........
Has anyone downloaded the new update and can still use foxfi-wi-fi or did you loose the ability to do so?
Thanks
Can anyone help?

In my experience, it slows this phone down bad!! The extra steps to allow Mobile Hotspot to be turned on, it adds a ton of lag to everything. I've uninstalled for the time being until something can be done, because it got that bad (having to restart it many times a day didn't help)
It works fine on mine. Haven't noticed any lag or anything. It's just annoying that the "Remove Lock" apk does not work on Lollipop. I use Echo Lockscreen, so I want my lockscreen to be set to none so Echo will work properly. Hopefully they patch it soon...

Anyone I missed? It's also worth noting that all other us carriers are on PB6 firmware while we are stuck on PB1 (exynos is on PB4).
Is there any way that anyone has found to enable the WiFi Sharing option? Is there a system flag that can be set or anything? Some hidden menu option? Any other thoughts????

Nothing I can find. It's likely gutted like the other features.
I do not have Enhanced Messaging as an option under my Messages settings at all. Is it there for you? It's been driving me crazy for hours trying to figure out how to get it to show up but it may just not be possible yet. My friend on Sprint has the option there but we compared versions of the app and he has 2.0.98 while I have 2.0.93. Maybe that's it?

What does enhanced messaging do? I don't have it but I can request a delivery report. Is that the same thing?
Not sure if this is just true for Verizon's variant or if it affects all S7 models, but my device has the old KitKat-style persistent notification whenever there is an active VPN connection, which was something that got removed from AOSP with Lollipop. An unpleasant visitor from the past, for sure.

Downloading N950USQS2BQK2 VZW Firmware...going to upload it tomorrow...
What's the difference between N950USQU2BQJA and N950USQS2BQK2 ? I just got the first update 2 days ago and just got the second one just now. But can't find any information on it.
Im wondering the same thing.. An update a day after the other update? Sounds like someone broke something or did an Oopsie.
First update had the October security update and camera enhancements, the second update is the November security update.

Unfortunately, the update borked my phone -- I just get a black screen with a message "System UI has stopped" -- when I click it off the screen, it comes back a second later. I saw in another forum that perhaps substratum is the culprit -- anyone have any ideas on a fix? I know that the phone is working to some degree, my Huawei watch is still connected and I get notifications on it. But I can't really access the phone at all, only black screen and error messages. Also, I have tried safe mode and I get the same issue -- which tells me that it shouldn't be a substratum issue since safe mode deactivated 3rd party apps, but who knows? Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue like u after the update. if u do have a substratum theme installed then that's most likely your issue. Luckily for me I had usb debugging on and I was able to adb and uninstall the theme systemui by running these command through adb.
adb shell
pm uninstall com.android.systemui.SwiftDark.Android7SamsungS8

Anytime you do an OTA the Substratum app developers suggest uninstalling all of the themes. Nothing is broke on the device it's just causing an issue with seeing the home screen/settings.
This is also why using ADB to uninstall the layers would fix the issue.
Just for future reference for everyone.
