[MOD] Remove Ongoing Wifi Notification

---

Heres a guide to remove the annoying ongoing wifi notification, theres been guides on how to do it via changing the database but those cant be used by rom devs in there roms, so I decided to look into it. Disclaimer: I am not responsible if for some reason this mod makes your gs3 explode or bust into flames etc.... lol

The mod has been posted on my github the changes can be seen here on this commit Remove Ongoing Wifi Notification

Incase you dont want to go on github ill paste it here.

1. Decompile SecSettings.apk its located in system/apps/ (I removed the dex then used baksmali to decompile)
2. Find these 3 lines in com/android/settings/wifi/WifiStatusReceiver.smali
   

        
   invoke-virtual {v3, p1, v2, v0, v4}, Landroid/app/Notification;->setLatestEventInfo(Landroid/content/Context;Ljava/lang/CharSequence;Ljava/lang/CharSequence;Landroid/app/PendingIntent;)V
   
   sget-object v3, Lcom/android/settings/wifi/WifiStatusReceiver;->mNotification:Landroid/app/Notification;
   
   invoke-virtual {v1, v7, v3}, Landroid/app/NotificationManager;->notify(ILandroid/app/Notification;)V

3. comment them out by adding a # in front of them like so
   
   

       #invoke-virtual {v3, p1, v2, v0, v4}, Landroid/app/Notification;->setLatestEventInfo(Landroid/content/Context;Ljava/lang/CharSequence;Ljava/lang/CharSequence;Landroid/app/PendingIntent;)V
   
       #sget-object v3, Lcom/android/settings/wifi/WifiStatusReceiver;->mNotification:Landroid/app/Notification;
   
       #invoke-virtual {v1, v7, v3}, Landroid/app/NotificationManager;->notify(ILandroid/app/Notification;)V

4. Recompile using smali put the new dex into the apk and push the file to your phone, set the permissions and reboot.
5. Bask in the glory of removing the notification

Download

If I use that modded apk, will it reset any of my system settings?

what exactly does it get rid of?

When connected to Wi-Fi, you would get a "Wi-Fi connected" notification in the drop-down. This gets rid of that.

I installed the modded apk in the OP, but it didn't work. I put the app in the system/app folder and changed permissions to rw-r--r--, then rebooted. No luck. What am I doing wrong? Do i need to do something with the SecSettings.odex file?
