Looking around in various threads I found numerous gps fixes. In some (most) the files are not original T959 files. While they may work, since they are not T959 KB5 files the possibility of 911 working diminishes. I set out to find any gps fix out there and build a flash-able package that would reset everything back to the proper (or as close to) files for our phones (T959).
Also I have found some ROMs utilized the SUPL port of 7276. This port was found to create gps log-spam and the "fix" was to reset the port to 7275. This IMO also resulted in quicker locks.
See HERE and HERE for more info.
For the 911 info go HERE (or just click it in FaultException's signature)
What this tells me is you want matched GPS libraries with the proper T959 RIL.
So I have searched a few threads and found 1 GPS fix so far and built mine to reset or undo any possible mismatched files flashed. If you find any GPS fix that some might use for CM10.1 please post it an I shall try to adapt mine to reset it to the proper files.
I have made:
North American version (NA)
Europe Version (EU)
Global Version (GL)
USA Version (US)
Asia Version (AS)
YMMV between USA and North America if you live in the states.
2nd post I will also post my custom version with some extra advice and good signal locks. What I need is for people to nanadroid first and test it. Also to post / link and GPS fixes they may have come across so I can check them. Point to note is I am attempting to fix non T959 GPS fixes as much as make a good GPS fix for our phones. Posting links to other "fixes" will help. Thanks
With any JB / ICS ROM you have taken the responsibility of possible breaking 911. No difference here. Flash at own risk.
NANDROID FIRST!!!
Big thanks to FaultException for the time, info, and files required for our phones.
Original version may mute calls > Revert to nanadroid if the case. V2 shouldn't effect calls. Please test.
Checking original Froyo gps files here is the the MD5's Ive found so far:
JFD (558kb)
0F3376A81E85AE6044D2BF68D63E2A55
JI6 (554kb)
4761E7B01E0A71A048458F50DE64BC62
KB1 (554kb)
870A5D6F3542FD7421B215FCB37D884C
KB5 (554kb)
870A5D6F3542FD7421B215FCB37D884C
(KB5 is what is in CM10.1 also)
Ok here is the file for my custom GPS setup. I have not had and deep-sleep issues (DS). Some of the following may work, or not. Its just some tips and stuff I do.
Zip file attached. NTP is set to north america so you can edit as needed.
This will also install Angrygps app for you. When you boot up open the app and set the following:
Settings > General Settings > Operation Mode = "MSBASED"
Settings > SUPL Settings > Server = supl.sonyericsson.com and PORT = 7275
Also I suggest you install an app called LeoAGPS injector. Found HERE
Install it like any normal app (no push), open the app and select "Pop-up message". After that go to your home screen and app the LeoAGPS widget. Click the widget to inject AGPS data. Wait a few seconds then reboot.
Try out the GPS and see how it goes.
Version 1 broke sound on the RemICS ROMs so I pulled the RIL files out. Now just custom gps files / fixes
Change log:
Added a USA version. May or may not work better than the North America version.
1/10/2013 - Since it appears the version 1 broke phone sound on the RemICS builds I removed the RIL files. Now v2 will only fix / replace gps files and not RIL files.
1/18/2014 - Added some MD5's of gpsd/agpsd files Ive extracted from Samsung dumps.
GPS fixes reset:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33575684&postcount=504
If you want to try and adapt it to your specific country:
Open in a text editor: /system/etc/gps.conf
Change the NTP server line (top line) to your country. Country list found HERE
Edit / reboot / check
I do suggest the LeoAGPS app in post #2. It has seemed to work well for me.

Thanks for this awesome post! I know I'm suppose to test these files before asking but you might already have the answer: with these fixes, in your experience, do you still need to get a lock before DS in order to prevent issues after DS? Or after you reboot and getting into DS before locking first, you are able to get GPS to lock after DS?
Thanks for all your help!

It was not addressed to me, my 5 cents anyway. I think it's more a kernel issue, at least it was so on ICS until the great SubZero came into play. You should try his GPS-wrapper, I think it could help (preventing the GPSD getting incidentally corrupted) - find the flashable zip in the "3 files fix" post of Jrafael (see post No 3 above).
I am also very interested in getting our Vibrant's GPS as much functional as it can be. My own "fix" (check for Igps.zip) was giving me best results for accuracy (down to 3 m!) on some ROMs (JB 4.1 and 4.1.2, but not 4.2.1). I found out that there are many useless files (such as gps.xml or secgps.conf), and that GPS will still lock and pretty quickly even without gps.conf tweaks (and even without this file). However I don't have coding skills to organize my empirical findings.
@ MR - where did you get your RIL files from, with the Europe fix file I have no sound on phone call (I use instead the MP's RIL files, working fine for me).
Got the RIL from KB5 / CM10.1 - same boat here about sound. Gonna pull the downloads and check on it. If anything Ill re-up without the RIL and just GPS files and try again. Im getting what looks to by Bluetooth errors when trying to connect. Even when BT is turned off with the RemICS ROMs.
Whenever able CM10.1 use the Froyo KB5 RIL / Drivers and such. Some times it just doesn't work. The RIL and AGPS files from Froyo KB5 match the CM10.1 ROMS.
Testing my original fixes - the following so far are the outcomes:
RemICS-JB: Breaks sound. Version 1 RIL and GPS doesnt match CM10.1 / KB5.
Slimbean: No issues - Sound works fine. Confirmed the base RIL / AGPS files in ROM match CM10.1
HellyBean: No issues - Sound works fine. Confirmed the base RIL / AGPS files in ROM match CM10.1
CM10.1: No issues - Sound works fine. Confirmed the base RIL / AGPS files in ROM match CM10.1
FIRST
I will apologize to those who flash the original version on RemICS ROMs. It broke your call sound. Return to your nandroid and all should be well. For those on Slim / Helly / CM10.1 you are fine.
The RemICS ROM is very smooth but the RIL / GPS files don't match the Samsung T959 KB5 (also in CM10.1) files. Replacing 3 of the RIL files with the proper KB5 ones broke the sound. Ill keep at it.
For now - Version2 no longer replaces and RIL files. All the above GPS fixes will replace gps files / remove un-needed gps files.
First I want to thanks Mr. Moped for jb GPS fix great job.I am using remics jb 4.2 and moped GPS files NA-Version 2 it works good, I lost signal than it reconnect so that issue is fixed in Version 2 and sound is working also thanks .

Moped_Ryder, I just flashed 4.2.1 and flashed your USA version GPS fix after flashing GAPPs. I'm coming from 4.1.2, and only got locks down to 30m intermittently. The norm was 800 m accuracy (vik5 responded to some of my posts). More importantly, thank you for doing this post (clicked the Thanks) and appreciate you explaining the reasoning behind your updates as well.
*Update* First lock in GPS Checker occurred after 31s with 8 "fixed satellites". Marked improvement over GPS performance on Team RemICS 4.1.2 (highest I ever got was 3 satellites, lock took 242 s). Thanks Moped!!

Do me a favor if you have time. Do a Nandroid and try my Custom fix in post #2 (to include AngryGPS settings). Also combine that with the LeoGPS I linked as well.
See if that works any better for you. Revet back to your Nandroid after if you wish.

Hi, I tried to edit gps.conf file as mentioned. But whether I changed the supl_port to 7275 it remains 7276 it asks me to save the changes but doesnt save

Hi,
Thanx for the reply Moped I am using root explorer and set the r/o to r/w and opened the conf file in text editor.. I can edit the file but changes wont stick
I am living in sri lanka which comes under Asia — asia.pool.ntp.org Sri Lanka — lk.pool.ntp.org
Thank you again.
EDIT: I edited the gps.conf file using the es explorer (with root access enabled). there is a new file created inside root explorer gps.conf.bak and theres nothing inside gps.conf file (inside root explorer).
BUT gps.conf file (inside es explorer) has the changes I made. I rebooted but still the same
EDIT (update): Set the permission READ for all USER, GROUP, OTHERS and voila gps.conf file has the changes
Hope these info will help anyone having this issue
I can take care of it tonight.
If anyone wants to do it themselves its not hard.
1. Download and install a program called 7zip
2.. Download any of my GPS fixes
3. Right click on it (GPS fix). Browse thru 7zip to the /system/etc folder and drag the gps.conf file out to desktop (or somewhere).
4. Dont close the 7zip yet
5. Open the gps.conf file you just extracted and edit the NTP line to suit your needs. Save it.
6. With the archive still open in 7zip drag the edited gps.conf file into the /system/etc folder in 7zip. Overright old file.
7. Close zip. Its ready to transfer to your phone and flash it.
...You may be abnle to edit the gps.conf file right from 7zip (cant test Im at work right now)
I can always help someone with it. Just though peopl would like to try it out themselves too.

One can make a custom flashable zip right on his/her phone.
1. Use a file explorer which has archiving function (I have Solid Explorer) and unzip any flashable zip you want to change.
2. Make your changes.
3. Compress to zip again. IMPORTANT: you must ONLY include the content itself and NOT the uppest folder (if your zip has two folders, META-INF and System, first select the two and compress these two in a single archive). Otherwise it won't be cwm flashable.
To change the gps.conf file on the go use Faster GPS (NOT Faster fix) free in Playstore.
Moped...i tried the other zip; No good lock on this one. Flashed Custom zip file and changed settings in Angry GPS as instructed. No lock..no satellite signals. Reverting back to old setup..using your US version, which worked perfect.

I was really getting tired of my carrier name showing up twice on the lockscreen and taking up extra real estate on my notification drop-down so I figured out how to disable the SPN from showing and how to customize the PLMN to say whatever I want.
KEY FILES TO EDIT
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/optable.db
/system/etc/apns-conf.xml
/system/etc/spn-conf.xml
In the apns-conf.xml make sure your provider is listed with a numeric value.
Here's an example: numeric="311370" mcc="311" mnc="370"
* As you can see the numeric is the MCC plus the MNC.
In the spn-conf.xml make sure your provider is listed with an spnOverride.
Here's an example: <spnOverride numeric="311370" spn_display_rule="SPN_RULE_SHOW_PLMN" spn_override_only_on="310,311"/>
The optable.db needs to be edited with SQLite Database Browser to add your numeric and the text to display.

Flash these files AFTER you have flashed a ROM and booted up at least once! I tested all four files on TUD 3.0.0 Beta, CM7 A3, and various CM7 Crackflasher builds.
*Screenshots are from CM7 Crackflasher build #54 with the Jungle Waterfall livewallpaper
Very cool mod. I will try this out when I have the time!
thank you
Love this, it worked great on Bionix with 1.3 kernel. For some reason running the same rom with the new 1.4b kernel it no longer works and yes I tried reflashing and wiping a few times. Any ideas?
Hey could you make me one and either PM me or post it up?
I'm on CM7 on a Nexus S, and I don't see a '/system/etc/spn-conf.xml' file. It doesn't seem to exist on mine. I'm on the latest nightly (#8) and have updated everything. Am I missing something?
How exactly did you get these files? I'm having all sorts of trouble with this. First off, the optable.db file is zero K, even when I extract it through ASTRO or Root Explorer with R/W permissions. Secondly, as I mentioned in the last post, the 3rd file is missing from the stated directory.
I'm really confused, as it seems that none of these instructions add up for a Nexus S. I'd like my T-Mobile message to instead display "Nexus S: Pure Android, Pure Google"
Did not work on Modaco R9, CM7 or The Cracker builds...

spns-conf.xml does not exist on the Nexus S originally, but if you place it in /system/etc/ the OS knows to use it.

You might be on to something, it worked for about 3 seconds then went right back to T-Mobile.
Still doesn't work. Mounted /system and /data. Does it only work for certain carriers? I'm using a&t
Is there a way to apply this to ALL carriers, rather than selecting one manually.

Got GPS problem after the update with my LG o2x.
It cant seem to find any sats. Done everything thats been said on other threads nothing helps.
Any one with the same problem ?
Me 2. I get fix for about 2 sec. Then its stuck afterwards.
I don't even get a lock
Try clearing AGPS data with GPS Status
doesn't help. Can people please post their settings in hidden menu. All of them please

some people said it work some said not work so try as your choice.
do you disable gps if you don't use it?
in official froyo and officeal gingerbread (v20l)
gps need to be enable on boot if you want good signal , otherwise you will always lose it
so try this
enable gps
reboot phone
turn on mobile data ( no wifi !)
open your gps app
I got my first fix in about 30 secs (cold start)
second on in 5 sec
Same problem as some of us had with previous leaked GB roms. Topogigi fixed the problem by tweaking service.jar file, that's the only thing I know. He talked about way of calling hardware that was wrong and explained that after a lock the GPS vanished..
You should search in Topogigi thread, there is a workaround in the beginning pages that could work (setting a new server in hidden menu).
That's why I'll stay with my ROM for now... It is perfectly working.

This worked for me!, however the srs level for each sat is not greater then 40 for some reason :S
I'm also experiencing this: as soon as the GPS gets a fix, the gps device itself seams to disappear. The Nav-app does get a valid location for one second and then the gps icon disappears.
This problem was not present in 10D and it does seem to happen when I activate the GPS later. If I boot with GPS enabled, the problem doesn't seem to occur.
Can this be fixed with the custom Jar file from Topogigi? Or is that for a different problem (no fix at all or something else - I do get a fix quickly but the GPS device seems to disappear then).
If so, how can I install it on my stock 20L? Some post talks about mounting a folder. How can I do that? I guess I need to root first and then use some kind of program on my pc or....?
I'm sorry if this has been covered before but I'm new to all this and there is so much information and a lot is hard to understand if you're new to this.

Just simplify set /system/framework folder into RW mode then delete the old one and then copy the file that extract from zip file into /system/framework then change file permission to 644 (rw-r--r--) --> reboot OR
Here the method from origin
1- Just mount your "/system/framework" folder writeable.
2- Then overwrite the existing "services.jar" with the attached one.
3- Reboot your phone and your gps will get its fix in only some seconds.
Hey folks,
This is a completely new build, with all the new changes baked in. We wanted to do a semi-official test release to collect bugs and hopefully do a formal official release with everything settled. The main pain point is the CSV files (see pre-install prep).
So a brief overview:
New acoustic routing code baked in. Should fix most if not all audio routing problems, and will provide more debugging if stuff does go wrong. Also allows for more granular tweaking, see the CSV files.
GPS fixes for GB - GPS not only works in GB now, but it doesn't kill sleep! I was able to use GPS, get a solid lock, and put the device to sleep no problem.
BT should work & well with the new acoustic code. Post results.
RHOD users now have a choice of kernels. .35+ all have the new acoustic - so .35, .39, 3.0 and 3.1 are all fair game now... This is bundled with .27!!
Keep in mind, autobuild .27 kernels will produce no audio in this build... Obviously the bundled kernel will work, and the absolute newest .27 autobuild kernel does work now - Feb.27 2012 or newer.
rootfs tweaks - first, it will detect which kernel you're on (.27 or .35+) and automatically apply the correct firmware. Second, is it will always copy/extract the modules... failures there were getting annoying, and this is surefire if brute-force...
Few Easter egg apk's...
Probably a lot I'm forgetting, this might change
Pre-Install Prep REQUIRED!!!
This step is crucial, and I forgot all about it! You must copy all of the *.CSV file from your WinMo ROM - these are in the \Windows\ directory. There's a very easy way to do this. It involves the Total Commander app for WinMo (Direct Link for the perpetually lazy...) (included in EnergyROM and others probably).
Now you're in Total Commander looking at your \Windows\ directory. Whew... lots of files. Fear not! Hit the "CTRL" button, then the green "Plus" button. This opens the Select/Unselect files dialog. Put in *.csv, press "select" and voila. All CSV files are selected. Now - File -> Copy/Move -> I want you to copy these (should be 10) files to the ROOT of your SD card. No folders!!! This is hardset right now, until we get it all implemented into the build properly. Thanks!
Install
Assuming you've done the pre-install prep; this is installed just like the other XDAndroid builds - grab your startup.txt (don't forget rel_path= if you don't have it at the root of the SD!), ts-calibration and boot!
Download
Caveat List
CDMA users might get a crash in phone.apk and no service on boot. If waiting doesn't resolve the issue, then reboot. Should come up fine...
BT might still be flaky
The CSV files from my TOPA100 are attached for the lazy. I'd like to gather CSV's from each RHOD, I'm curious if any ROM devs have changed them out either... This could get interesting. If you folks don't mind, post up your CSV's, point out differences with mine, etc... We're trying to figure out how to unify these, if possible! Thanks!
Please post back any issues, enjoy!

Can't detect build type... I had that yesterday, and forgot no_partitions in my startup. Perhaps same issue for you? Obviously this setup runs without a partitioned card, and if your card is partitioned you must tell the system that you want to ignore the partitions and just boot looped.
Yes, I have partitioned sd...can you post me right startup, please?
(or I have to add 'no_partitions' to my startup.txt?)

Sigh.
Yes, you have to add "no_partitions" to your startup.txt, as below.
Code:
set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2293
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off sensor=topaz pm.sleep_mode=1 no_partitions"
boot
Hi,
First of all thanks for your hard work and i'm so impressed by the way that XDAndroid changed my phone. But in this new version i remarqued that i have some missed applications in Android Market like "Tunis Radar" who is working in FRX07. There is a solution for this problem please ?
Thanks for respanding and sorry for my bad english

Uhm.
From what I gather, there's apps that work in FRX07 that don't work here. Tunis Radar? Is that a GPS app..? Any other apps that don't work?
Logs please.
...Or are you saying they don't show up in the Market?
Hello,
Yes it's a GPS application and i can't see it in android market (it display that they are 15 results but i can see only Sygic (GPS App)).
What about to make this build in CWM?

i was testing it and i can not run "my backup pro" in order to restore all my apps. i have tried versions 2.66 and 3.01 of this app.
anybody with success in this stuff? thanks a lot
maybe with titanium backup?
i know...my backup is from froyo frx07 version but i think it is possible if the app can run and not force closes itself at the begining
what about battery? any longer results in batt life? maybe not...

LG O4X UnoX SENSE4 ALPHA RELEASEYou thought you never see a HTC SENSE with BeatsAudio interface on O4X? This is the ALPHA release of SENSE 4.0 (version 2.17.401.2) and using STOCK LG kernel for your LG Optimus 4X HD
Latest update 10.Jan.2013
Changed build to avoid conflict with team venoms mods, this should be more stock now.
It is now a ClockWorkMod Update.zip using AROMA installer.
alot changed and yet, no GSM is working but i am getting closer.
***STATUS***
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is very early developer release, more a proof of concept, to help others start porting or even developing roms, without thinking the locked bootloader will limit the distribution. so regular users, will probably not use this for anything since mobile connectivity is not working.
but if you wish to check performance and maybe test some performance here, this is a way to do it and compare.
Any contribution to fixing the RIL driver in this one or other fixes are appreciated, feel free to make patches if you can help improve this.
***WHY***
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So the O4X community have been almost dead and not a single custom rom has been released, primarily because many believe a unlocked bootloader is needed.
WHAT WORKS
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
GSM Mobile Radio - NO
AUDIO - YES (+ BEATS AUDIO works fine with headset)
PHOTO CAMERA - YES (FRONT is very,very dark, BACK camera is ok)
VIDEO CAMERA - YES (for now only 1080p recording, 1280x720 closes camera, change in settings)
VIDEO PLAYBACK - YES
MICROPHONE - YES
WIFI - YES
GPS - YES
BLUETOOTH - YES (Wifi seems affected by enabling bluetooth at bootup, and no wifi connectivity exists, so disable BT at bootup)
ROTATION - YES
YOUTUBE - YES
MOST SENSORS - YES
VIBRATION - NO
NFC - YES (No icon when activated, but works fine with included NFCtag+)
PC CONNECTION - NO (not worked on it)
INT / EXT SDCARD - YES (without sdcard, camera cannot save to internal storage)
NOTES ON FIRST USE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- First start can take 5-6 minutes due to a process waiting for media scanner.
- in /system folder, you can rename "local.prop1" to "local.prop" , and you can enable adb root.
- its based on v10d, i do not know if the boot.img is required, but remove it if you wish to try it without. (remember to edit md5 checksum file if you do)
- do not try and install recovery from the CWM app, just use it to reboot into cwm, do NOT install recovery, its already in place and modified to work with sense.

you can modify the existing backup, by editing the nandroid.md5 checksum file, remove the "system.ext4.tar" line in the md5 file
and rename the "system.ext4.tar.a" to "system.ext4.tar" . and of course do the same with the real tar file.
then it should look pretty much like old backups
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update:
after the upload,
i have checked GPS and NFC.
GPS is confirmed working
NFC needed fixing but it works now , althoug icon is gone, and the NFCplus app works too, so you can modify tags
wow NICE!! almost had a mini heart attack when i saw this post!:fingers-crossed:

i've been stuck in the setup wizard for so long now, i managed to get past the language/locale selection screen but I'm stuck in the next screen where venom setup is.
Anyone managed to get past this screen? can i delete setupwizard to bypass this process?
EDIT: finally get past the setup wizard!!! ultra smooth rom!!!
i know this is ALPHA but thought i should post a list of things i found not working so maybe someone can fix it =)
- Vibration not working
- Google Voice Search not working
- mount ext-sdcard not working
- Flashlight not working
- Whatsapp doesn't work (it says "Tablet is not supported" so i guess there's sth wrong with the IMEI or build.prop)
- pressing "settings" in camera app crash the app itself
- "Share" option is unusable (tested both by email and by Google+)
BUT
- Camera app works GREAT with rear camera!!!!!
- most if not all widgets work (though i didn't test all of them, most of them work!!! without a lag)
- Speaker works

thanks for the report back, and yes, i am aware of the setup screen bug, it also seems to relate to the customization process hanging in the background, so it will hang for some time too, sorry. porting is not always easy
edit: i believe the problem rely in the SIMcard not being detected as you might note, the simcard screen normally shown is not being shown, which asks to insert sim. it also seems the the firmware seems to tell the htc software it is a CDMA phone, so this might also be the problem why gsm is not working. this is seen in the radio log.
- i noted the other things, and flashlight is the only one i am not looking at, as our flashlight is different and can be damaged if i try to make it like a lightbulb i think. (do not know and do not want to find out)
- we got no IMEI yet, since phone is not working, so the whatsapp might have a different issue or as you say, it does not exist. build.prop is pretty much OneX original here.
- external sdcard works fine here, i wonder why you cannot see it in storage settings?
- i do not know why googlevoice do not work, ill check up on it, probably relate to recording format, which i noted only works with AAC and not AMR format.

external sd is not accessible in the default file manager? but if i use another file manager (FX Explorer), i can access the extSD
but in storage settings, everytime i try to unmount the sd, settings.apk crashes
but as an alpha "port" (sort of), the rom is ULTRA-SMOOTH, wish at least GSM call work soon:silly:

ok i see now.
this the the HTC way of having external sdcard, the semi way, since they officially do no longer make many top models with sdcard.
the location of external sdcard is at /mnt/sdcard2 and internal is /mnt/sdcard
let me check up on the unmounting, i already got some fixes, but not GSM, sorry, that require alot more it seems to fix.
about the GSM part, it is strange that both OneX and O4X uses a radio chipset with QUO 6260 radio, but they flash firmware different ways, so that makes it incompatible somehow.
Great job man!
I will join your development as soon as I finish my exams (2-3 weeks) so the LG 4X community gets alive. Will read your thread in the meantime.
Making a backup now while downloading this rom.
Thank you so much for your time and effort Dexter!
Sense 4.1 is actually pretty smooth on our O4X. Too bad radio is somehow turned off. I would rock this rom as my daily once radio gets solved. But for now, everything else seems to be working. Beats works great too. Camera is good, but video FCs.

getting DRM working little better here, i simply copied the generated RSA keys from /data to a tar file and extract it at every boot, but not sure how i get the lgeril to load it now, since its htc based.
for the camera, i simply use a camera from another htc 4.0.4 release and it works fine. probably related to resolution of camera and it works now recording in 1080p as well.
First off this work is based on Digiblur's PRL Write Enabler from the Sprint Galaxy S3 forum. I simply modified it & packaged it for our Sprint Galaxy S4 devices.
Here is the original S3 post that this was found in... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159054
Also, post #8 below provides additional info.
I tested it by flashing with TWRP and it worked on my stock, rooted S4 with the MDC and MDL releases.
If you're on a stock rooted Rom and not using TWRP, you can just copy the HiddenMenu.apk from inside the zip file downloaded into /system/app/ and overwrite the one that's there. (You'll need a root enabled file browser to do this of course).
Thanks to Unknownforce here is a version for MJA...

Enjoy!!
This certainly will save me from having to use CDMA WS to switch like I just did yesterday. 55014 was not working well for me in my market so I switched back to 25014.

You mean the install of the zip?
If so, you can pull the APK out of the zip and replace HiddenMenu.apk in the system folder (make a backup first). You may want to also set the permissions to rw-r-r after replacing the system app. Reboot, then you should be good to go.
@ChadH42,
I know it seems like I'm harping on you but I'm really not..
You need to update the OP on - 1. What is this? 2. What does this do? 3. Why is this in the Development Section.. ?
A good OP leads to less questions.. Development Sections aren't for information. That would be considered a Discussion Thread that belongs in General.
Let's keep the Dev section clean from the start.
My suggestion - Edit the OP on the What's/Why's?/How To's and you won't get posts like mine.
To the OP, updated your title as [WIP], and I suggest you provided additional information so that folks aren't bricking their new devices.
I will check in, if you need anything, let me know.
What this MOD does (in case the OP takes a little while to chime in)
What this MOD does is modifies our ##DATA# (select View) menu to allow for the PRL Write option to appear and function. With this menu option, the user can change their PRL on the fly from the device itself by placing a copy of the desired PRL in the root directory of Internal Storage and name it "test.prl" (no quotes), dial ##DATA# (choose View), tap Write PRL, tap the sub-menu option Write PRL ---wait--- and then the device reboots with the test.prl PRL applied upon reboot. Not every PRL works and sometimes it takes a couple of tries.
A tip for multiple PRL options is to, of course, keep a folder of the PRLs you like and keep them labeled in there. Copy the desired PRL to proper place as needed and just remember to rename the copy to "test.prl". Switch back and forth as you please. I hope this helps clear some confusion and helps some find purpose with the MOD like I have.
For a clear set of instructions that I did not want to just copy verbatim, check the link below. Also, if you are having issues with the zip not installing in CWM, just extract the APK from the ZIP (inside the system/app folder), use Root Explorer or your favorite root-access file explorer to place the APK in the APP folder, apply the proper permissions and reboot.
Ref from the GS3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748516

I just tried this mod with the Force ROM and it did the same thing (blank options). The only thing I can think of is that it works with the odex version of the stock ROM so maybe its a problem with deodex ROMs of which Force is one.
O okay. Its currently not a necessary thing for me at the moment, just nice for when I travel to Alabama. Hopefully later on someone gets it working on deodex.

I am actually running it on the Rooted Stock DeOdexed ROM. So I don't think it is an Odex/DeOdex issue...might be a Force ROM issue.
Also, moot point for Force ROM (1.0+) anyway because the PRL Write mod is already included with that.
I'm also having this problem and I'm pretty sure it was working this morning. I haven't flashed anything since then.
edit-- I tried:
1. wiping both cache's
2. killing background process "OIThiddenmenu"
neither fixed it.
I reinstalled the stock odex ROM and flashed this again and it worked.
Just an FYI, OP, I get Error Status 6 when trying to flash this via recovery, which indicates one of two things. Either the format of the file is incorrect or there is a syntax error. The syntax looks fine, but opening in basic Notepad shouldn't "look pretty" like it currently does. So it's likely it was edited with a non-Unix-compatible text editor like Notepad or MS-Word...
To make modifications to an updater-script (or just about any Android/Linux files like this) you need something like Notepad++ or gVim.
Anyways, I did a quick test with this, and it does in fact not work on my ROM as it is, but I see why it's failing, but I don't know what exactly it's trying to reference yet. (It fails with an id number instead of a name, so I'll have to de-compile some things to find it.)
I'm not sure it's a ROM issue or a MOD issue yet. (meaning it might have to be updated for each custom ROM, depending on how they are configured) But I'll track it down and update when I can.

I think TWRP can read the non Unix type characters, which is why it works on a different recovery.
I'm hoping it's a mod issue and I can just modify the mod to work universally regardless of the rom. But we'll see.
