Well I don't know if I would quite consider myself a developer - as such I am a bit anomalous and am much more comfortable in the land of smali lol - dex2jar is a pretty handy tool though, thanks!
Discussion on SysScope
- Thread starter bahtsiz_bedevi
- Start date
Hey @[email protected], I checked out the github and all the instructions on there. However, I can't seem to find classes.dex in my SecSettings.apk. Granted I'm on android 4.2.2, so things might be slightly different...
Any advice? (thanks!)
@Aou
That means your files are not deodexed. Grab them from a deodexed stock alike rom.

Thanks. I was beginning to gather that on my own, after pulling a few other SecSettings.apk's from other deodex'd ROMs. Now I'm just trying to find one which hasn't been molested too badly from its original state. I'd like to remain as stock as possible for the time being.
I suggest you to use a good comparing tool like http://www.diffnow.com/ or winmerge. Compare our modified ones and your original file. It'll help you a lotThanks.

Yeah, the changes are pretty fricken' scary inside Status.smali. "Holy crap, what did I get myself into?" were my first thoughts. I'm no programmer, just a jack-of-all-trades IT guy.
From what I can tell, all I really needed to edit in SecSettings.apk was this:

.end methodI've run out of time for today, but I'll be looking into this a bit more to figure out what the other changes you made were, so that I can remove the "custom" status inside the About Phone. Also, I've taken some notes, so I might be able to make a write-up on how to do this for us S4 people, and perhaps provide my re-compiled work.
It's exciting. It really is.
EDIT (followup): Uh, never mind about it working. Sure, I have no custom boot logo anymore, but I also have no phone service, I just realized. >_< ... I might have failed on the re-odexing part, methinks.

You don't have re-odex it, copy it as-is. Just don't forget to remove SecSettings.odex.
From your original code All I can say, it's pretty much the same to ours. That's a good news for you
@Aou
Moreover, don't be so scared
I didn't even know how to compile an APK at first. You'll get used to it

Okay, got it this time. I refined my notes and did not re-odex it this time (yet... still planning to!). I know of deleting the .odex file whenever you deodex something, that wasn't the problem at all.You don't have re-odex it, copy it as-is. Just don't forget to remove SecSettings.odex.

As for the code, it seems to work great! My device status shows "custom" but I have the original boot logo. All is well. Next up, I need to review your notes through this thread and on GitHub to determine what exactly I need to edit to get the Device Status to show Official always.
I haven't tried deleting SysScope.apk yet - I'm going to wait until I get this next step completed.
EDIT: Also, if anyone else is following along, I am planning to post all my notes as a guide here on XDA, but over in the S4 forums. Apart from code changes, the notes should apply to most Galaxy devices with SysScope...

Actually that part of the modification belongs to dwitherell
At first I tried to change changeSysScopeStatus() to show device status always as "Normal" but I couldn't succeed
Whenever I tried to get into "Status" section, SecSettings was crashing. Therefore I removed that code completely.
At that time thankfully dwitherell came up with a solution
(he has more experience with smali than I do.)I wasn't deleting an intent listener (Status$2.smali) that were causing error.
This modification he made hopefully will give you a clue
https://github.com/sinancetinkaya/D.../com/android/settings/deviceinfo/Status.smaliJust focus on lines 509-533 and 1709-1731. Ignore other lines because they are just the reverts of my modification
You have to delete SysScope because it triggers "Custom" system status on the bootloader screen.
If you have "Custom" system status there, you have to make it "Official" manually.
This mod doesn't convert "Custom" to "Official" on the bootloader screen but prevents it to be "Custom" again.

Actually, I picked up on both those edits. I went through Status.smali and looked through all the differences between my files and the one that's in the github, and made several changes. The good news: it no longer shows "Custom" in the Device Status. The bad news: it now shows "Unsuccessful". heheWell done

I still didn't get the custom logo/padlock on boot, even with SysScope.apk still installed and functional. Interestingly enough, as soon as I uninstall it, I lose my 3G/4G (no signal) and everything goes nuts. Even restoring it from a TiBu backup doesn't work - I'm forced to restore from a nandroid backup.
Here are my edits:
I guess something is still calling SysScope.apk?
EDIT/UPDATE:
It appears that SysScope.apk (and its counterpart on the S4 EdmSysScopeService.apk with its odex file) must both be removed together, while the device is stopped, and at the same time as applying the modified SecSettings.apk. If you fail to do all of this within the same "stop", the system freaks out and kills your cell signal somehow. Very strange. I've added this to my notes.
It still shows "Unsuccessful" though. Not a huge deal, though... At least SysScope is gone!
EDIT AGAIN:
0x7f090123 is obviously the status that we're returning. But where is this kept? What are the other options? Originally, mine said 0x7f09013e.
Last edited:
First of all 0x7f090123 code is "Normal" status for XXDME1 N7100.
Your original code is saying it's 0x7f09013d but you have check it in public.xml

S4 is a very popular device. Can't you ask someone for help who has more experience with smali?
You need to decompile fully (using apktool) SecSettings and look for the resource id (in /res/values/public.xml) of the string that reports back the status Normal (found in /res/values/strings.xml) to find the correct resource id to use instead of 0x7f090123.
Oh, awesome. I feel a tad bit stupid now, because I read through that once (not knowing what you were talking about), and then promptly forgot about it until now.
It is indeed popular, but it seems that the devs for the S4 really don't care about SysScope. Otherwise, people are just using the Xposed Mod that deals with this. Personally, once I found out about SysScope, I wanted to eradicate it.
"decompile fully" are the words I needed, thank you! I had decompiled it before, but not fully ("option 9"). I've used this option with other stuff, but didn't think to use it here. Thank you. I found the string I was looking for. I couldn't find any sort of hex numbers for the strings, but I did find that the "Official" string was exactly two strings prior to "Scanning...", so I simply adjusted the number accordingly.
Just as [email protected] suggested: 0x7f09013d
I think I'm good-to-go. I'm updating my notes and cleaning them up further. I should have a write-up ready soon!
