Hi everyone just picked up this phone coming from a rezound.I'm brand new to att and I've never see this icon before,it's the one to the left of the alarm clock.I've already unlocked and rooted so if I need to edit the build prop that's not a problem.any one know what this ugly icon is?

It's the NFC notification.
You can turn NFC off in settings and the notification goes away. Just turn it on when you want to use it.

I had several phones with NFC and none of them showed this ugly symbol. Must be a HTC thing. The worst is that Google Wallet is anyway deactivated by AT&T. So it is pretty useless except for exchanging data with Google beam.
Does anyone know how to remove the icon from the status bar without disabling NFC?
I found a thread about disabling it on the Galaxy Note II, but it doesn't work for the One X+.
This is what you do on the Note:
"This can be edited in the feature.xml file (located in "/system/csc/feature.xml") under the NFC the Statusbaricontype should be changed from ATT to none."
Perhaps there's a similar method for us.

The process isn't exactly similar, but the icon can indeed be replaced. The icon is found in the Nfc.apk package in /system/apps. Open Nfc.apk with the archive manager of your choice and replace the stat_sys_nfc_vzw.png file located in res/drawable-hdpi with an icon that is a bit more pleasing to the eye (I've opted for a transparent image myself). I've attached my modified Nfc.apk; it is from an AT&T HOX+ so I can only recommend using it with that variant (but who knows!).

Awesome! I appreciate your work on this!
I still have one question, however. I've opened and explored your apk and see your 1x1 transparent .png, and I also see how you edited the .apk.
My question is, how do you go about flashing it and replacing the stock app?

You can either use adb and the push command. Or you can use a file explorer, delete the original first, then copy the new one over. Finally set it's permissions to rwx-rxx-rxx.

Hmm...I'm using Root Browser Lite (I currently don't have access to a computer with the Android SDK installed). I deleted the original Nfc.apk, and it seems to have removed the app from the phone (or uninstalled it, I suppose), however the original .apk still appears in the /system/app/ directory according to both Root Browser Lite and OI File Manager. Furthermore, when I try to copy the modified Nfc.apk, I get a message saying that a file by that name already exists, so I just ask the phone to overwrite the existing file. It starts thinking about it for a minute or two, then says that the operation failed.
As it stands, I have the original file in the original location,albeit unistalled and no way to install it, as I get the "App was not installed" Message when I try to install it.
This may be a dumb question, but am I able to use the Terminal Emulator app to issue the adb command you suggested? If not, Do you have any other suggestions to get me out of this hole I've dug myself into?
Edit: I've succesfully moved the edited file to the correct location!!! I used ES File Explorer. However....I still can't install. I've done everything including changing the permsissions....it just won't install.
Thanks ahead of time!

System apps are not meant to be installed like regular apks, just reboot the phone and the changes in the new apk should take effect (when you turn NFC on no icon should appear).

I've done both of those things now, and still the NFC options don't show up in the menu. It makes the menu look rather lonely.
Just wondering if any further developments have been made regarding this issue. It makes me sad every time I think about how my phone is probably one of the only HOX+s out there that's incapable of using its NFC hardware.

Bleh...I think you're right. As it sits, I'll probably just live without NFC until a stable CM10 build is released for AT&T phones.

Is your One X+ an AT&T version? If it is, how did you root it? I have the phone, and I already unlocked the boot loader, but I can't find a way to root.

Here are the original apk and odex files if you want to give them a try (just to get functional NFC back for when you need it).

I'm sorry if this was posted somewhere else, but I searched and nothing came up. When you root your phone does that mean you no longer can receive over the air updates? Or is that only if you have custom ROM's installed? That being said, is the ROM that you install to gain root access considered a custom ROM? Sorry... I feel like a n00b but I had to ask. :] Thanks

If you are rooted it's usually a good idea and easier to flash a ROM that includes the update already. The developers get a hold of the source codes a few weeks before VZW actually pushes it to your phone and you don't have to wait for jcase, unrevoked, or whomever to find a new way to root if the ota breaks root access.
Hope this helps"
I was searching the same thing earlier bro and this is the answer I found.
Does this mean if I don't delete bloatware and just freeze it, then I can still get the updates? I read that article and I didn't see them answer whether or not getting an OTA update would take root off. Thanks for the response!

No the point is if you root, have SU, and/or a custom recovery, the update will fail.

Good deal. Thank you for the info.

So if I'm reading this correctly, a corollary is that if you intend to root but haven't, its likely a good idea to do it before the OTA is pushed, or else you'll have to wait for the developers to figure out how to root the new one?

More then likely any important updates/fixes/etc will turn up in ROMs anyways.
so how do you disable updates?

try this it works
only difference for you will be lines 4 and 5
look for your current ro.build.fingerprint and change it to the current update...
oh and also don't forget to delete the update from your cache
If you are comfortable editing the build.prop then follow these directions.
Directions:
1. Use root explorer and navigate to /system
2. Mount as r/w
3. Long press on build.prop then click on Open With then Text Editor
4. Find the line ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/SCH-I510/SCH-I510:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/FP1:user/release-keys
5. Change FP1 or FP5 in that line to FP8
6. Press the menu button on the phone and click on Save and Exit
7. Mount back to r/o
8. Reboot phone

I attached the file for more info.
mine reads:

do I change the FI to something else? if so this change will not brick my phone? this is my only cell connection to outside world.
the download system update that wants to install is a FL24 is it because the phone knows FI the FL will not install?
You could just rename otacerts to otacerts.bak and then rename updater.apk to updater.bak.

what additional info do you need from my phone, that will make this a more sure ok to do for sure no worries ? what about
what disconnecktie recommended "You could just rename otacerts to otacerts.bak and then rename updater.apk to updater.bak"
is that safer, not sure where to find those files? I am doing titanium back. but i do not want to go through the hassel of reloading everything back on the phone.
Either way will work but the otacerts and updater both just catch ota information when it is sent out. You aren't deleting anything so it is impossible to brick from it. The otacerts is in /system/etc and the updater apk is in /system/app or course. Use a root file explorer like es file explorer and mount system as read/write.

so do I wait to see the update icon? then do the process
and to be clear the process is?
go to /system/etc then rename otacerts to otacerts.bak save it
then go to /system/app then rename update.apk to update.bak save it
how long does that change last if they are pushing the update wont it just come right back?

I found a fix on XDA forums right here. Instead of 'asia' I input north-american into the gps.conf file. For those of you that don't want tolook for the file, I have supplied the gps.conf file for you to download right here. Post responses with how well this works. Works 100% of the time for me nearly instant locks on all gingerbread ROM's I put on my device.
If you are downloading my file, simply use adb to push it to /system/etc/ and you are golden.
**Warning|Disclaimer|Blah Blah**
If you brick your phone I am not responsible ... yadda yadda, ya'll know the drill.
thank you! that did solve the problems i've been having with the latest cm builds.
Wow! Thank you so much! I went from a 2+ minute lock to a <20 second lock.
I did find a method to make this adjustment simpler. I used root explorer, available in the market, then simply copied your 'gps.text' file to system/etc. I then deleted the gps.conf file and renamed gps.text to gps.conf. Finally, I rebooted and opened maps, enabled gps, and waited for a lock. Then, after I was locked I did one final reboot and behold, locked in less than 20 seconds.
So, maybe not simpler but it can all be done without adb, straight from the phone.
Nevertheless, thank you, thank you, annnnnd thank you!

Did you guys use his file or make your own? Mine already said North America but was missing the extra servers.
skulnik, is your phone s-off? I can never make that kind of change with root explorer. It acts like it did something, but it doesn't. Same with ADB if the phone is on.
I read on another thread that apparently if you are s-off, you need to go into recovery, mount system and then use adb to push the files.
I am not sure this worked for me though, once I got the file in there, nothing much changed. I used the old fix which involved putting the cm6 gpslib.so file into the system/etc folder. Using both, I seemed to get a quick lock.
I made flashable fix for myself that includes both fixes and the wifi fix (just in case) and things seem better on both CM7 and the xm rom based on CM7.
The extra servers is what made the difference for me. Glad that this is helping. I stopped using cm7 for the longest time because GPS wouldn't lock for me. I loaded the xm7 and is was so awesome I just HAD to find something to make GPS work because I rely on it all the time. Downtown San Antonio is very easy for me to get lost in and MapQuest was never reliable.

I used a different file after reading his method. However same concept of replacing the config file. I'm just rooted without s off. Another method to replace the file is to mount via clockwork and use android commander to push the file. FYI after this i now I get an accurate gps lock in under 10 seconds.

Thanks! I used the southwest file and I am getting real fast locks, even indoors. I wonder if I need to keep a northeast file for when I travel east.
Just want to make sure i get the steps right, all i have to do is unzip the .zip file, put gps.conf in platform-tools folder for android sdk, run adb and type "adb push gps.conf /system/etc/" right? It's been a while since i did any sort of work with adb, so i don't want any major goof-up.

You could do that or a more foul proof method would be to use android commander. Just mount the system in clockwork plug your phone in "assuming you already have adb, jdk etc. Installed" and push it that way. Android commander is pretty much a gui for adb... also could push it in terminal emulator if you were feeling adventurus. hope this helps. Android commander is most likely going to be the safest method for you. That way you can easily do a backup of the file. Though I would do a nandroid backup just to be safe.

hmm can't imagine why it would be different for you. Did you push the correct GPS file for your location & confirm that it took the change /view the file after you pushed the file/rebooted your phone?
Yeah, took the midwest file & moved it to the system/etc folder & removed the old file., did it all w/ root explorer rebooted the phone & everything... got the same performance as I did before, 2 min or so for a lock. Then consecutive, immediate locks as long as I didn't leave the maps app alone for too long.. @ one point I wound up using gpsfix to actually get a damn lock, it was so bad....
I'll just have to settle for slow locks.

Hmm. I wonder if it's a hardware or driver problem. One thing I did want to note; I had tried using the latest version of root explorer to replace the file, mounting the system as write, etc prior to using adb. The result showed the file as being replaced however after rebooting to confirm changes the file was back to default. It might be worth double checking the file to confirm that the replacement actually took. If not possibly mount the system in clockwork and push the file using adb.
Hmmmmm, good call, I DID make sure to mount the system as r/w as opposed to r/o but I didn't chk to see if the file got overwritten by the system on restart (if I'm understanding you correctly?).
I'll try it again, this time using adb...

Ok, I have been trying for a while now to change the HTC lock rings and there is a really cool thread on here by mohit1234: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262990, anyway it has a heap of lock rings. Originally I could not put them on as he made them for a different phone model. So then I uploaded my fusion.apk and sent it to him. He made me custom lock rings with both the Earth and the Captain America Shield. So everytime i try to flash it to my phone nothing happens. So I made a copy of the .zip and extracted the fusion.apk and went to copy to the /system/apps directory with both "ES File Explorer" and "Root Browser Lite". But whenever I try to copy it the phone either crashes and restarts or says copy succesful and nothing happens. This also happens when I copy a droidsansfallback.ttf (modded with the emoji icons). But the font works when it says successful. Does anyone know what is happening? Mohit1234 also suggested to push using adb, would this help at all?
Do you have flar2's remove system write protection kernel mod installed and loaded?

No, I don't. How would I go about installing such a thing? Is that why the font keeps reverting every half hour?

You can find it here.
Without that patch, you can't muck about with /system
Total Crashing
Ok, I flashed a zip designed for my phone with the kernel you suggested, and my phone crashed twice (again) when copying the fusion.apk and the droidsansfallback.ttf doesn't even work when I copy it any more. Also when I plug it into my PC and choose "mount as hard disk" my phone crashes and reboots. So I am thinking I should just start again. I think I am going to flash hasoon200's "stock, rooted, deodexed" ROM.
I have tried to install this thing like 4 times, it is in my /system/lib/modules but I can't get it working. I have tried copying droidsansfllback.ttf modded with emoji into the /systom/fonts folder but when I restart it is reverted back to the old one. And seeing as I am new to this I can't decipher the instructions on how to install this.

Listen all you need to do is
Extract the fusion.apk from his zip and paste it manually using aroma file manager.
I did it using aroma and now you can see my lockscreen.

I have tried this using both "ES File Explorer" and "Root Browser Lite". Anyway where could I download aroma? I looked for it on Google Play but couldn't find it. If I find it I will try it, and yes I have extracted the zip and tried to copy it that way.
EDIT:
I installed Aroma, all went well with that and I copied fusion.apk as told to the /system/apps directory and bam when I restarted nothing happened, still stock ring. Can you send me the fusion.apk you used so I can try that, it would be greatly appreciated

I know, i installed it in the recovery and it opened up etc. BUT my system is still write protected when I reboot or startup my phone it reverts to its original /system state. which brings us back to how to install the kernel. In short Aroma doesn't work until I remove write protection. I may be a noob, but I know that this simply wont work.
Not true.

Post here the file he made for you or the updater-script, I take a look at it. Maybe the mount point is wrong for DX.

In recovery, mount system first before you start the Aroma File Manager.

Ok, aroma does work (I tried it with an emoji modded droidsansfallback.ttf) so that means that the fusion.apk is stuffed up. I have downloaded a desire x system dump and I am going to ask the guy to try and do it to that fusion.apk, thanks for the help everyone

Check your PM... I post a modded zip for you.
It's nothing wrong with the zip file that you posted. It flashed ok on my ROM
Your problem I guess is due to the stock ROM that you have where you do not have busybox installed.
So I mod the updater-script so it can be installed without busy box.

TWRP - mount - mount system
I am currently using an AT&T HTC One with the GPe ROM on it. I sideloaded the CM10.1 Messaging apk and moved it into system/apps.
My only issue is, even I turn on Emoji's, I can receive them but the smiley face next to where you enter text (to access the Eomji's) is strangely missing. Any idea why?
EDIT: I suppose it was an incomplete apk. I downloaded one from someone else and my issue was fixed.

Here's what I did, it worked perfectly.
1. Sideload the CM10 app (Google it, easy to find the apk)
2. Download Root Explorer
3. Within Root Explorer, find system/app
4. Rename "Mms.apk" to "Mms.apk1"
5. Rename "Mms.odex" to "Mms.odex1"
6. Go to your downloads and find the CM10 Mms.apk file and copy/move it into system/apps
7. Set permissions
8. Restart device and you're good to go!
I guess it's called "Richnote." I'm wondering if someone could export that APK and upload it somewhere so that I can try and get it running on a Galaxy S4. I found http://koolwap.in/games_app/dld.php...ba/comlgeapprichnote-30200111-v32.htm&ext=apk, but the phone just says "application not installed." I have a notes backup from an old E970 that I'd like to view, but I obviously can't with the GS4 (the format is .rnt, whatever that is), and I don't have any other LG device to view them from.
Here it is.
I extracted the app from my phone using Stock 4.1.2
Its called Rich Note
Here is the
PHP:
[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download/x483o5gtq3o8a8c/com.lge.app.richnote.apk"]link[/URL]
I have this one. Copy to system app and set permissions. Doesn't work with kitkat in ART mode.
https://app.box.com/s/qfxao2m9rcctp2b03eom
Thanks guys!
Unfortunately, for both of those APKs, the phone just says application not installed.
It won't install as a normal app. You need to copy it with a root explorer to system apps, set permissions and reboot.

Try this app it opens the notes I made with the lg notebook app.

That probably explains it. The phone currently isn't rooted.
Regarding Perfect Viewer, it's unable to find the "backup.rnt" file that Richnote made during the export, even if I tell something like ES File Explorer to open that file with Perfect Viewer.
So there's no way to install that app without rooting?
So I rooted, copied one of the two APKs that were posted here into /system/app, changed the permissions to match the other APKs that I saw, rebooted, and nothing new showed up. Do these APKs need a matching OPEX file? Both of the Richnote APKs do this.

The one I posted shows up as "notebook" in app drawer and it doesn't have an odex file. Not sure if that would keep it from working on an odexd ROM. It is a modded apk. and I am pretty sure I found in a Samsung forum.
Oh...and googling .rnt it says it is files for CNC machines, but there are some free programs to open them.

Ah... I'm really confused, then. I tried putting some random APKs in /system/app and they ended up showing up after a reboot, so I'm not sure what's happening with the APKs that you guys posted.
I might just go to a T-Mobile store to open up my Richnotes backup and email all of the text to myself.
This is where I got it from downloaded the zip and pulled app from it. Does it look like the same note app you are trying to get?

I'm not sure what it looked like before (I barely used the phone), but I don't think that that's it.
I think I skipped out on your APK (the first two that I mentioned, one was from Alex_XV6700, the second was RichNote_a003.apk from a stock AT&T ROM for the E970). I put it in /system/apps, and the app works, but it's a different app overall, unfortunately. Thanks anyway.
I think the idea of going to a store to get the notes would be the easiest.
