Can anyone help me try and remove the DriveSmart settings menu found in Settings.

I deleted the DriveSmart APKs but its still showing in Settings which means its hardcoded in there...

Actually, only this line needs to be edited if I'm not mistaken:

Path: res\values\
File: bools.xml
Line: <bool name="has_tmo_driveSmart_settings">true</bool>
Process: Change the value from true to false

Any help would be appreciated. I've been trying but get errors when I try to recompile Settings.apk

Thanks!

That is exactly what this is aimed at.

I was able to delete the strings from the de-compiled code however, I got errors when re-compiling it.

Hopefully, someone out there can help with this...

I was kinda hoping it would get rid of the settings portion when the apk's for drive smart were deleted as well. oh well.

Nope. Rename the existing Settings.apk and Setting.odex and then move the modified Settings.apk to system/app/

Don't forget to set the correct permissions...

Thanks!

I'll try it here in a little bit. If not today than tomorrow and let you know. Just install zip via recovery?

Anyone figure this out yet? I tried placing the settings.apk from this thread into my working kitchen folder over writing the stock settings.apk but when I flashed the rom the settings option was missing from the app draw???
