Hello XDA, I was wondering if anyone could compile these instructions into a flashable zip file. This mod basically changes the 'H' icon in the status bar, into the 4G icon for CM9 based roms only. However, if I change roms, or flash an update, I lose the mod. So, if the instructions could be compiled for me, or if someone tells me how to do it, I would be very grateful, as I am quite new to this stuff.
Instructions by TmpKranz as posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856493
Before doing anything, make a Nandroid backup, just in case something goes wrong!!!
0. Download the SystemUI.apk and place it in the root directory of your SD card.
1. Open the Terminal Emulator app.
2. Type su and hit the Enter button to gain root permissions.
3. Type busybox mount -o remount -w /system and hit the Enter button to make the /system partition writable.
4. Type cp -f /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/app/ and hit the Enter button to copy the modified file to where it belongs.
5. Type chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk and hit the Enter button to fix the file's permissions.
6. Reboot and enjoy.
System Ui.apk: http://db.tt/KrWrxQR5 (can't figure out how to upload files; sorry)
Thanks.

This thread gives a basic rundown of how to create one. Its pretty straightforward actually.
My basic rundown is this (I haven't done this in a while so I could be wrong):
1) the META-INF folder structure that I believe is part of every flashable zip. I forget what information it contains offhand, but I think it is specific to device. So you could pull this from any other flashable zip for the G2/DZ. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
2) The modified file within the file structure it is on the phone. So for yours it would be /system/app/systemui.apk I think.
3) The script to copy the apk (or whatever modified files) to the appropriate locations on the phone. This can include using show_progress to update that status bar in the background of recovery, a print output command to state exactly what steps are happening, etc.
Sorry its kind of vague. I'd help you write it, but I'm at work, and don't have everything I need in front of me. Besides the fact that none I've ever written work properly. :silly: Also that this is a simple and good learning experience to see how things work. It's good to know how to do this and can be a first step for larger things.
For reference, you can check out the zip someone had put together for me when I did the old Search to Recent mod in early ICS days. Located here.

Thanks mate, had a look, but he only really gives instructions on flashing zips.
I really need someone to do it for me, a reward may be offered*

Ok. This is as far as I'm going to help. You need to help yourself a bit on this.
Attached is the new zip file, that should hopefully work. I take no responsibility for what it may do to your phone.
Edit: Added signed zip

Helping yourself meaning learning to do it rather than asking around. There is a lot you can do with a little learning and it is very rewarding.
Glad it worked.

No. You provided the modified apk. I just modified the zip. Took 15 minutes, if that.

Hm, which SystemUI.apk are you guys using for the base? The reason I ask is because mimicry contains many SystemUI changes that other cm9 based roms don't have. Replacing that file will break things for sure.
There are definitely better ways of doing this than providing a SystemUI.apk to flash over, though. I'll see what I can do.
EDIT:
Alright I just put together a flashable zip that'll modify the H icon to 4G on any ROM (hdpi only). This should also work in JB, though I haven't tested it. This doesn't actually replace the SystemUI.apk, it just replaces the icons inside it and re-zip/zipaligns it.

I would consider it if there wasn't this devastating Aroma bug right now with running programs through recovery. I've posted it on both Aroma threads & received no feedback.
That said, the method of replacing the icon right now isn't really a good indicator of true 4G. Let's say we're arguing that HSPA+ is 4G (rather than just HSPA). Currently the phone doesn't distinguish between HSPA & HSPA+ with icons, they will always just say "H" (or 4G with this mod).
I would rather programmatically determine which is which and show the 4G icon when on HSPA+. If there's interest I'll actually include it in the code, rather than as a mod option in Aroma.
out of curiosity what then is the major hurtle do distiguish between the two, is it the os not communicating properly with the firmware?

Actually no, there's a TelephonyManager case to match the NETWORK_TYPE_HS* types. HS*PA, HSPA and HSPAP respectively. They were all being lumped under one case rather than separating HSPAP to 4G. The "fix" is to match NETWORK_TYPE_HSPAP to the built in set of 4G icons (since right now only LTE is being considered 4G).

Np!
So I gotta ask everybody. Under Settings -> About Phone ->Status -> Mobile Network type, what do you see? I'm not able to get HSPAP:15 on my mobile carrier, the only support HSDPA (up to 42mbps). Is anybody hitting HSPAP:15 w/ the Desire Z? That's what the 4G icon "fix" would look for since only HSPA+ and LTE are currently considered 4G technologies and not the lower HSDPA.
So I guess I need to clarify. Do you guys want to force your phones to be purposely inaccurate by labeling HSPA/HSDPA as 4G or is this an issue of HSPA+ (HSPAP:15) not being properly identified as 4G?
EDIT: Okay so according to GSM Arena, our phones aren't even capable of getting HSPA+.
Uhh.. so lemme ask you guys. Why are you trying to incorrectly label your phones as 4G when they're not?

well I'm not interested really, when I first got my g2 I was shocked to see 4g in the status bar as I checked before I got it hoping to use tmobiles "4g" network and here I was like "yea it works" did a little research and found it was added to some ota update as a marketing gimick and nothing more.
having said that my girlfriend also has one of these and was disapointed when I rooted her phone and put a custom rom on it, she dosent like the h for whatever reason so I put the 4g on hers and she has been happy ever sense. personally I don't care much for it and only suggested adding to aroma for people like her who want 4g and people like me who want h
but no biggie either way on hers or my behalf as she will never go to a new rom (hates change when it comes to technology) and ill never use it

Hello,
I Bought my defy from Amazon with 2.2.2 and installed CM9, I'm in Israeli Orange network.
My internet speed is very low (about 44 Kbs!) and I have only the "G" sign and not the "H" one. Additionally when ever I'm in a call I can't use the internet.
I've checked the SIM card is 3G compitable and my account at the provider is 3G as well.
Tried to use Baseband switcher and installing other frequencies but till now nothing helped.
Can I do anything except of putting other rom what I really don't like to do?
Thanks for any help.
Igor.
first of all i would suggest u to flash cm10 because its more stable than cm9...
talking about G it might be because you are not on a 3G network(the place where u stay doesnot have 3G yet)
check this settings>about phone>status>network type it should be HSPA for 3G
maybe u havent activated 3G yet, talk to the customer care to activate it.
you cannot use the internet while on a call.
hope i helped you!
tried your sim card on another phone and it works 3g speed?
g stands for gprs (2.5g)
e stands for edge (2.75g)
3g stands for... 3g
h stands for hs(d/u)pa (3.5g)
Make sure that "use only 2g networks" in mobile network settings is not on.
Still no "H"...

Thanks for the quick answer.
My network is supplying 3G coverage for sure and I tried talking to customer service, the only thing they offer is flash their own rom that is much slower and has alot of addons that I dont want.
I checked the network type, it says GPRS1 or UMTS3.
From what I read at the form I think that maybe the modem on the rom I use does not fit for the network operator. Do you know where I can find a sutable one?
Where I can find the CM10? Do I need a special carnel or do anything special to flash it? last thing- will I be able to return to my CM9 if it doesnt work well (supported langueges, signal etc.)
Thanks for the help,
Igor.

Tried the sim on other phones and worked well. I think its a modem or frequency problem on my rom. I am trying to find a modem that will fit Israel Orange network. The only I found is for Galaxy. Guess it wouldn't work...
Thanks for the info about the signs. Btw, you know what is the difference between a signal bar colored blue or white?
Thanks for the answer.
Igor.
Is the baseband correct?
Check under System Settings --> Advanced --> Baseband Selection and choose the right one for your network. It may require changing it more than once to find the right one. I shut down and reboot after each change because I've found that it doesn't always change on a simple reboot.

seems so. consequently, on a properly setup Android phone, white generally means the Internet connectivity is not okay.

Thanks for the reply,
I have the baseband switcher but I haven't found the right band so I can have a 3.5g reception.
I'll try asking in the facebook group, thanks for that.
Couple of questions about the installation of the CM10 you wrote about:
1. Do I have to have a specific app for making the backup or is it the backup option available in the recovery?
2. Does it backup only the rom or apps also?
3. Do you know if the cm10 you gave me the link of supports other languages? Hebrew? support right-to-left languages?
4. Anything else I have to know before installing the cm10? (I'm new in all the smartphone's world...
Thanks!

when you restore a nandroid backup you get it as it was while restoring..everything is backedup contacts,sms,logs,settings,apps,apps settings...talking about the language idk but if its in the cm9 then it should definitely be in cm10..

Thanks i will consider that, although i am a little skeptic about a rom developed in China, you know.You never know.I mean for the code in it , so the best variant is stock rom , which is the google`s one.I found the stock rooted image of 4.2.1 now i can do voice calls , and when i am done, the phone automatically returns to lte - if the signal is better than h+.Not sure for the last one though.Could you give me a link to test that Mui after all I purchased my phhone two days ago and stil can`t able to navigate tru the devolopments threads , way too many.

What CM10.1 rom are you using? Many of the CM10.1 roms already have the necessary files and tweaks for LTE to work. Try making calls without flashing the lte enabler. If that doesn't work you can try editing the file for the tmobile sound fix manually. Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233319

Yay! Finally got it to work. Thanks. I didn't find the line for editting the network mode in the custom ROM I installed (optimizedCM13 by JDCTeam) but I added it none the less. Got the app "Advanced System Status" , turned the radio off and entered the GSM auto mode. Everything works well now.
Update: Actually, no additional lines were needed. Removed them and just used the "Advanced System Status" app.
I have to configure it again each time I reboot though.

Which marshmallow roms for the sprint version work with gsm networks ? was using the optimized cm12.1 by jdc team after editing the updater scripts file so that it installs the gsm files instead of cdma. However the same trick doesn't work for MM roms including AOSP 6.0.1, CM13 , CM13 optimized jdc team, and also the nougat rom.
Any one successfully using these roms with gsm networks ?

I see you figured out the solution but if your looking for a great ROM I just made one. It has been running like a champ. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-5qR8CwM2o2UHFJS2NnQkRaMUk

So you do not lose the unlock ( international and domestic)?

Nope, as long as you don't flash using odin (Unless you're using it to flash TWRP.), you won't lose the unlock.

What is the rom based on?

U have to edit the built prop just for something network=8 and change it to =3 then go the play store and download advanced signal setting and change to gsm auto

That did not work for me. On optimized CM13 by JDCTeam my sim card is not detected. Even after installing advanced signal status it did not work. I dont have the lines you mentioned in my build prop. On AOSP CM14 by JDCTeam my SIM card is detected but i am not getting signals.
First of all. This is buggy. I have not had the time to debug it all. it makes the phone, and messaging a little slow when you first open it. Also when you go into Connections, and Mobile networks for the first time it takes an extra 5 seconds. that will come when I have time to mess with it.
I have used this on my PH4 N910P:
Aurora (latest and the previous versions)
Norma V5,6,8
But for Nemesis Rom.. I can't get it to function 100% so I gave up on it.
1. Wipe your stuff like you do your butt. Clean.. Multiple times..
2. Flash your precious ROM
3. Flash RamKernel Note7 (search the forum)
4. Flash data fix step 1
5. let it boot I recommend skipping all the Samsung/google setup for now (you can probably do it but in case you don't follow directions like my kids and have to redo step 1-4 then you are wasting your time)
6. go into connections/mobile networks/apn settings (They should be editable) click on the LTE one to edit it and then just click on the top right and save it (this puts that in your personal saved APNS.** IMPORTANT)
**Edit Just to clarify the LTE one should be "Sprint LTE Internet" then under that is "n.ispsn" you don't need to change anything just click save.
7. Restart go into TWRP flash Data fix 2 (For devs this just copies others.xml as before it locks the apns from being edited)
8. Now setup play store so you can download Network Mode (thanks shadowcliff your a lifesaver! ) in network mode you need to go about half way down select CDMA AUTO (PRL), wait a few seconds it should say under Cellinfo mRegistered=YES. if not play with changing to different networks like EvDo, GSM auto (PRL), LTE/GSM/CDMA Auto (PRL) until it does. it will eventually.
9. set it back to LTE/CDMA Auto (PRL), go to connections in settings and make sure it also says LTE/CDMA then reboot.
10. Enjoy SMS, MMS,Phone calls all working.
Keep in mind when you first send a MMS it may take 30 seconds. I think it has to register you on the network. but it will work. and it will all be LTE speed. I get about 12-15 meg down and 12 up or something.
Like I said this is a fix but it makes the phone in some parts sluggish. but it works. and there are no errors so far that I have noticed.
*****Devs.. if you have questions on what are the main things that make up the fix let me know.
*****EDIT Updated fix to include fixes by tx_dbs_tx
Thanks @shadowcliffs, @XeoNoX, @aaron74! you guys helped me more then you know!
@tx_dbs_tx for the fixes so our phones don't act like a real Note 7
This might work on the Nemesis rom. However I have had too many issues with it sticking. so I gave up.
Thanks for sharing. I will look at all of this and try to pinpoint exactly what needs to be done to get data working on the Sprint N7 rom i'm working on.
OMG Jesus Christ And The saints Off Heaven !! I just Do The Steps and My Note Its Working with A Note 7 Rom
I Almost Cry When I Saw The Setup Process XD XD
Dude Seriously Were The Hell Its The Button To Donate Some McNuggets to you Bro
Thanks So Much For This
Lol i am glad it worked like i said it gets a bit sluggish when u first open stuff but i will work on that enjoy
:good: Awesome, Glad to here, you guys got it going.
Tomorrow i think i will post the flash file i use to get messaging so it doesnt have the chinese letters in it
Before you do that the build.prop needs a few edits. I found a few problems with the arm versions.
persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib.2=libart.so
dalvik.vm.isa.arm64.variant=kryo
dalvik.vm.isa.arm64.features=default
dalvik.vm.isa.arm.variant=cortex-a53
dalvik.vm.isa.arm.features=default
Needs to be changed to the correct version to support our N4 architecture like this...
persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib.2=libart.so
dalvik.vm.isa.arm.variant=krait
dalvik.vm.isa.arm.features=default
Simply replace those five entries with the three lines above. Look at the original
N4 build.prop for reference. the cortex chip is the Exynos variant which the Sprint N4 is not.
I have not noticed anything else that sticks out but these lines alone can cause some significant problems. I also noticed some different RIL entries that don't exist in the original sprint N4 build.prop. I'm wondering if these lines come from a different cdma N7 rom perhaps? We'll get it sorted out if we work together. thanks again for sharing your setup. :highfive:
Edit: Another issue in build.prop that must be changed...
ro.vendor.extension_library=libqti-perfd-client.so
change the line above to... ro.vendor.extension_library=libqc-opt.so
this is the correct opt code for the art compiler and you will also need to make sure "libqc-opt.so" from the Sprint N4 is placed in system/vendor/lib directory so that ART can optimize correctly during first boot. The current line in your build.prop is for 64 bit cortex chipset. No good on our N4. There are many many other things that would need to be done to the N7 rom in order to have it optimized to run on our qualcomm snapdragon N4 but I will hopefully have my rom finished soon. but in the meantime you can do these few things to get the rom smoothed out some more.
Congrats!

the main items that are included in the fix zips is build.prop and multiple libs as well as csc items. I won't go into specifics but this is the main things that these zips contain. However there are still more keys to this puzzle for the Sprint network. framework is the main one and some system apps as well. When using a rom from a different network there will be many thing missing so this should be considered a temporary workaround until we get it lined out for the real sprint N7 rom.

Looking forward to your N7 port.
Yeah this more of a bandaid for now as there was nothing before that worked. I am going to make those changes in a few hours and upload a new version.
I am looking forward to tx_dbs_tx rom as well. He knows his stuff.
Does the 910P have a slot for a GSM SIM card?

Yes, I use mine with cricket(at't). You have to sim unlock it first.

There is one and only one SIM slot on my N910P. A Sprint SIM card is needed for LTE or phone to work. I havn't tried a GSM SIM card in my N910P yet, I have an impression that the phone is locked to Sprint's sim unless unlocked first.

I just tested your datafix file on Aurora v3.1. It successfully converted the phone from GSM to CDMA, which has not been achieved by other datafix before. Kudos to you! How come it's not working well with Nemesis? Can we just swap the phone apps, or it's the framework of Nemesis that prevent the phone from being converted to a CDMA one?
