How to get rid of the volume nanny

Ha! Never mind!

For those who wish to rid themselves of the evil volume nanny. I succeeded as follows. First I went here.enter link description here Then I tried and failed on a number of attempts. to do this:

  1. Grab your framework-res.apk file from /system/framework/framework-res.apk using either adb or root explorer on your device
  2. Using APKTool decompile framework-res.apk
  3. Once decompiled directory.
  4. Navigate to the file framework-res.apk/res/values/integers.xml YOU MUST USE NOTEPAD++ DO NOT USE MS NOTEPAD (Linux users need not worry)
  5. Find the following “10”
  6. Change the “10” to a “20”
  7. Save the changes to the xml file
  8. Recompile the framework-res.apk with APKTool
    WARNING: BEYOND THIS POINT THERE BE DRAGONS!
  9. Using adb or a flashable zip, put the framework-res.apk back to your device by:

adb remount

adb push /system/framework/framework-res.apk

adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk

  1. Reboot device and test :slight_smile:

Do not play with the dragons. Do this instead.

Take newly compiled apk.
Open with 7zip.
Copy the resources.arsc to desktop.
Open ORIGINAL (make a copy so you still have original) delete the resources.arsc file.
Go to your desktop.
Copy resources.arsc file to the ORIGINAL.

Then push to device. Should work.

To “push the file to your device” I found that I had to use ES File Explorer" (an App)

Go about nine minutes into this video and he’ll show you how to get 'er done. His app looks a little different. But it works the same. I found that the permissions were as they should have been when I checked.
