Tasker and hotspot tether toggle? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Seems tasker just won't turn on the hotspot on these. Anyone get it to work?
The error seems to state that the user does not have android.permissions.TETHER_PRIVILIGED so I went ahead and decompiled modified the manifest and then recompiled. I then used pm grant to grant the permission only to be met with "Operation not allowed: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission android.permission.TETHER_PRIVILEGED is not a changeable permission type".
Anyone find a way to resolve this? The dev says it's a sprint thing but tmobile users report it too.
Thanks
Dave

I have latest updates and it fails for me too.

Used this all the time on my old phone sucks that this does not work now.

Anyone else? Seems to also do it on oreo w/ the S8+

[Issue] Omni 4.4 wifi can't find network

Hey guys,
I finally built omni 4.4 for Gtab2 10.1
My wifi is turned On, but can't find any network.
I used latest blobs from samsung stock rom 4.2.2 to be sure.
logcat:
http://pastebin.com/xm6un9Tg
During the build process i faced an error :
Code:
out/target/common/obj/APPS/framework-res_intermediates/src/com/android/internal/R.java
out/target/common/obj/APPS/framework-res_intermediates/src/android/R.java
expected "}"
public static final class string-array{ }
^
this is not the exact error code but it was almost this.
To bypass this error i just comented both class, i wonder if this can be related?
thanks
I'd suggest looking at other device bringup commits first.
4.4 requires wifi configuration changes and storage configuration changes.

mmhh still no luck.
I don't have any error message in logcat now but still scanning for network and can't find any.
I based my change on aries bring up commit.
Now my ext sdcard work if i'm root, i may need to change some permission in fstab,
and i add edit this line in init.espresso10.rc
Code:
service wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant \
-Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -e/data/misc/wifi/entropy.bin [email protected]:wpa_wlan0 \
-c/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf -O/data/misc/wifi/sockets
and if I try to add an ssid by hand i got this error in logcat:
Code:
E/WifiConfigStore( 441): failed to set SSID: "mywifi"
E/WifiConfigStore( 441): Failed to set a network variable, removed network: 0
E/WifiStateMachine( 441): Failed to save network
thanks.
Did you add it, or change the one that was already there?

Do you face this error while building omni? can it be because of my java version? i'm on java 6
finally got it working, it was related in init conf file like you said.
Does someone just know how can I disable hardwar keyboard at first boot?
Because of that keyboard never show up so i have to skip the first settings and disable it in language & input.

Could you precise which mod you did in init conf file ?
Because I've the same problem with a build for Acer A200 : loop on AP scan, no results, no possibilities to configure an AP manually....
Thanks

Fix or remove the broken kernel driver that's reporting a keyboard as being present when it's not.
Another possibility is you're missing KL/IDC files for some input device that is being treated as a hardware keyboard when it's not. (See the galaxys2-common family - the sii9234 or whatever it is IDC file was needed to keep that input device from being detected as a HW keyboard)

[Q] toggles

I was following this thread and I used the application to find the db to add back mobile data to the toggles, but whenever I go to settings.db it tells me something about code 14 error and I cant edit the database to get the toggle back, does anyone know why this happens or if there is another method

[Q] GCM XMPP getting SASLError during auth

Hi,
i have strange problems using GCM service over xmpp
i just use the sample code provided bei Google here:
developer.android.com/google/gcm/ccs.html#implement
sometimes this code works fine, and i get the notification on my device
but sometime i just run into a SASLError:
Code:
SASL authentication PLAIN failed: text:
the cause for this error is, that Google GCM server returned an error:
Code:
text
which is unknown in the smack SASLError enum.
so first i don't know what the root cause is.
when i run this code in a loop, i can see that for n request in a row i receive this error, then after some time, the error is gone and messages are send.
again after some time, i receive the error again.
couldn't explain why,
could it be that there are some Google Servers not working properly ?
when i use the test url:
Code:
gcm-preprod.googleapis.com:5236
at least i don't get the SASLError, instead i just get not-authorized.
but the behavior is the same, n requests works n next requests doesn't
did someone have any idea why this happens ? or having the same problems ?
thanks a lot

Enable Quick Capture in India (by disabling Emergency Affordance Service)

Hi Guys
So, as you all know, Quick capture is disabled in devices connected to an Indian network and this had me pissed off for a very long time.
I looked into the Emergency Affordance Service which is responsible for identifying Indian SIMs and found a way to disable it (at least on the 5t).
But a word first.
DISCLAIMER: The Govt of India has stated that it is mandatory for all phone manufacturers to add this functionality for the right reasons. By disabling the feature you will NOT be able to use the triple-press power button for emergency call. I do not take responsibility for any damage caused due to the actions described in this post.
Alright, lets jump into it.
Step 1. Install a terminal emulator app (or connect via adb shell)
Step 2. Enter the following command without quotes:
"settings put global emergency_affordance_needed 0"
(You may use the "settings get global emergency_affordance_needed" command to confirm if it worked.)
Step 3. Check the OnePlus Camera app - the Quick capture option should be there.
Step 4. Profit!?
Notes:
My 5t was rooted with magisk, but I ran the command on a normal ($) prompt so I'm not sure if this requires root or not. Please try it on unrooted devices and let me know so I can update this post accordingly. Also, I haven't checked if it persists after a reboot.
Not working on non rooted device.
It works in adb shell after su command..however it resets back to default after reboot...Could someone make this into a magisk module?

Yeah even I saw that it goes back to normal even without a reboot.
The EmergencyAffordanceService periodically scans the MCC of the SIM and sets that value to 1 if the MCC is 404 or 405.
So I tried spoofing the MCC in many different ways, but none of them worked for me.
This section of the config file sets the list of the MCC codes for which EmergencyAffordance is enabled.
Code:
<!-- Do not translate. Mcc codes whose existence trigger the presence of emergency
affordances-->
<integer-array name="config_emergency_mcc_codes" translatable="false">
<item>404</item>
<item>405</item>
</integer-array>
If we can somehow modify this array, I think it should be permanently disabled. But I guess that would require an Xposed module or apk editing (areas I know nothing about)
There are other methods I'm sure, maybe one involving an Xposed module which hooks the method that checks for the MCC codes and makes it return false.
If anyone has any ideas, please do chime in.
any idea how the phone detects that its india? Could we spoof that?

Use ADB shell instead of doing in on your phone
Any update? I literally had to stop using oos because of this..there was an XDA developers on reddit who was trying to solve this issue but I can't seem to find it
Edit: Found It
https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/6ur1ma/double_tap_power_button_setting/
The devs name is Mishaal Rahman ...Maybe he could help us out.

I've (kind of) figured out a few ways to resolve this, but not the implementation part.
This Xposed module should be able to solve the issue by making the method check return false, but I cant seem to get the module working on my device.
Anyone with Xposed, could you see if the module is working for you? It FCs whenever I open it.

Sorry for bumping an old thread but has anybody figured out how do get this working permanently with xposed or magisk ? I bought a OP6 and miss this feature coming from a Nokia 7+
MAGISK Module!
Hi,
Was able to create a magisk module to do this automatically every boot and also got wifi auto turn on to work, check out the thread here.

Might be possible to override this with an overlay (non-root Substratum.)

How to force 4G only (LTE only) Mode?

Can someone help me I am trying to force my Huawei P10 Plus to use LTE/4G only mode. I have latest Firmware/Patch Level.
I have tryed many service codes in format like *#*#.....#*#* codes but I can not set the LTE Only mode.
Isn't it possible without "root"?
It is possible to force "4G only" without root. First download "Setting Database Editor" from playstore. Open it and look for "hw_networkmode_preferences". I use this value "9,3,2,1,11" on my phone. Save it and restart your phone. If you still don't get "4G only" option then you need to open the "Setting Database Editor" again and look for "hw_add_4g_only". Mine was set to "250". You need to change it according to your country mobile code. Look for your mobile country code here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_country_code. In my case I change the value to "250;502" since 502 is my country code. Save it and restart your phone.
Tested on rebranded P10 Plus 256GB.

Thank you very much for your Help! I already installed the DB Settings Editor and found out that hw_networkmode_preferences were already "9,3,2,1,11" so this wasn't the case. Additionally I found that I have to add "hw_add_4g_only" so I added it with the wrong Country Code because I didn't know what the hw_add_4g_only means. I was searching for it a few days now and never got an answer, so I was trying to ask here. And you made it clear now. The Wikipedia Link was very helpful and it works now for my Country. I have to set it 262 for O2 Telefonic Germany.
So again Thank you very very much!
Using Huawei P10 (VTR-L29) 8.0.0.374 (185) solution above works for me too.

Worked on my Samsung Galaxy S9
Honor 6X is stubborn as heel... Nothing works.
Can't even find the commands... Sigh!
First Method :
1. Use SIM 1 as the default connection setting
2.
You need to install this app for FREE
at Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teknokia.force4glteonly
pro version : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teknokia.force4glteonlypro
galaxy store: https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.teknokia.force4glteonly
pro version : https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.teknokia.force4glteonlypro
3. Run the application, press the SIM 1 only or Android testing button. You will enter two LTE Switcher options and also 2 Android testing options.
4. You can try all of them which support your phone.
If the telecommunication operator you are using does not support VoLTE (Voice over LTE) and uses LTE Only Mode, so regular calls will be blocked.
Second Method :
1. DOWNLOAD Force 4G LTE Only 2020 Pro application from Google Play
2. Run the Application
3. Select SIM 1 Only menu, then Hidden Activity
4. wait to load until 100%
5. tap the search box type RadioInfo
6. In the DEvice Info app section, there is a RadioInfo activity.
7. Long Tap 3 options will appear: Create Shortcut, Launch Activity, Edit Shortcut. I recommend Select Create Shortcut to make it easier for us to enter network activity mode without having to bother opening the Force 4G LTE Only 2020 Pro application.
8. Please select Launch Activity to enter the Radio Info
9. Select LTE Only in set preferred network type
I was able to get it working on my huawei y7a sometime last year using settings database editor. Abouy 2 weeks ago i factory reset my device due to an unrelated issue and now when i try to enable it again i get an error saying my system software has rejected the edit. I tried with the version of setedit from f-droid and got the following "Unexpected failure you shouldn't not change private system settings." does anyone know what the problem could be?

I have the same issue with p30 pro. It seems to me that after some recent updates, they've locked those settings somehow.

I found a solution. You would have to use "Adb shell" (usb debugging).
The code is:
adb shell settings put system hw_networkmode_preference 11
