NO OTA UPDATES after installing custom ROM

To check root just download a root checker app through the market. If it's not rooted follow the guide.

You can flash any custom ROM you want. It's your phone - remember that
[HTC Sensation] Monkey289:
This is so awesome. Its like having a whole new phone. Thanks!!!!
[HTC Sensation] RoboDan918:
Little while since last update

Still waiting for ICS ROM with Transparent Taskbar. One option is Elegancia ROM, but I dislike their battery and signal icons, so the search continues.

No word on CdTDroiD tweaks or Jeff's "TraBar" either.

Looking for a non-Sense ROM as close to stock as possible for better performance, and because I use ADW Launcher EX anyway. The only app that is useful in HTC Sense is the Dialer IMO

Hi guys,

Made a theme for st15i on 2.3.3, firmware .368 (tell me if it works on .42 and .58)

Battery mod and quick controls, i think.

Also changed to funny boot animation and ICS font!

You must have rooted phone with clockworkmod recovery!

Install the zip from sd card!:)

[Kindle Fire General] neilrl79:
I bought a fire from an acquaintance I run into from time to time at work and I'm having an issue. Apparently neither one of us were aware that it had to be deregistered before I could register it to me. The tech I spoke with at amazon informed me of this. This is a problem for me because I don't have a way to contact him, I usually just see him around. I'm wondering if there is a way for me to sign in to the amazon market within the app as opposed to it redirecting me to the kindle registering page? I rooted and installed google market and am really enjoying the fire but would like to access some of the apps that I have already purchased from amazon. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Kindle Fire General] brian112358:
You can deregister the Fire by going to Settings -> My Account -> Deregister. (No account information is needed) Then you can enter your own Amazon account. That way you can access the Amazon App Store and other Amazon content.
[Kindle Fire General] neilrl79:
I'm assuming that because it was wiped before I got it that it's not giving me that option. It only gives me the option to register and if I try it give me a "contact customer support " message. The tech I spoke with said it needed to be dergistered but he wasn't allowed to contact previous owner about it.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
The process of resetting the device to factory default does a deregister as part of the process. When done, the device is ready to go like right out the box.

Sounds like some other issue.
[Kindle Fire General] neilrl79:
I don't know, I reset it twice trying to get it to work before calling customer support and the guy telling me that it had to be deregistered.
[Kindle Fire General] asb2164:
It is probably stolen.
[Kindle Fire General] neilrl79:
There's a system app called "amazon device client platform", I'm wondering if freezing it would "seperate" the amazon apps from the device, essentially making the apps behave as if they were on a phone.

I really hope it's not.
[Kindle Fire General] NMCBR600:
The person who registered the kindle has to log into their Amazon account and deregister the device. If the fire was wiped, then that will be the only way.
[Kindle Fire General] neilrl79:
By the time I run into him again CM7 or some other custom rom will probably be out and therefor I won't need it de registered any more.
[Kindle Fire General] neilrl79:
I think that com.amazon.dcp.apk is the way to seperate amazon apps from the device making them behave as they would on a phone(ie.able to sign in within the app). I'm considering freezing that app and seeing what happens, I am however concerned that I might do some harm.
[Kindle Fire General] nursereese:
Perhaps?

If someone uploaded a clean version of com.amazon.dcp.apk and you deleted the one on the device would that work? Or is the registration kept on the Amazon servers? I don't really know, just curious if this would work.
[Kindle Fire General] neilrl79:
I think that com.amazon.dcp.apk would either have to be frozen/removed or it would have to be altered in a way to not recognize the appstore. You see, when i go to the appstore and try to sign in i get kicked out to device registering, and I am trying to get it to let me sign in within the app like you would do on your phone. The appstore apk on the fire and the apk on my phone seem to be identical so it should be possible. I am in no way sure of anything, just making a slightly educated guess.
[Kindle Fire General] ubeezee:
If you follow the guide on here on unbircking (i know your device isnt bricked) your device it will get it to the "out of the box" state in which you will be prompted to register your device under your own information. It will wipe user data which is what his information is under. You will need to reroot and everything afterward but it may fix your issue
[Kindle Fire General] neilrl79:
Unfortunately I've had it at "out of the box state" for a while and I still can't get to accept my registration. I've been doing some google-ing and it seems I'm not the only person to have this problem, it's happening to people who ordered their fires directly from amazon,only problem is I can't return mine.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Just a guess... there is a registration number associated with the device which is not touchable normally.

When I first got mine, actually ordered for my wife, it auto-registered it to me even though I entered nothing. I had to deresgister the device and then use her account to register it to.

It was very weird to have it do that on it's own. This was an out of box unit that had never been used, yet it was already allocated to my account (like it was a gift).

I'm guessing that every unit has a unique code in it for that purpose.

Unless you can change that code where ever it is, I think you will be stuck.

Seems not worth the money to mess around with a used unit when you can get a brand new one for $199 or less (I got one for $123.99)
[Kindle Fire General] neilrl79:
Yeah, I got it for an incredible deal tho. The guys nephew gave it to him and the way the economy is going he said he'd rather have some cash. I got it for $100.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Seriously.... Incredible Deal? You bought an unknown unit from a friend of a friend that you can't get a hold of, that Amazon says is already registered and might possibly be stolen. It is like buying a cell phone with a blacklisted ESN number.
[Kindle Fire General] neilrl79:
Yes. An Incredible Deal. If the unit was blacklisted i'm pretty sure the 2 techs i spoke to at amazon wouldn't have spent hours trying to help me register it. Besides as it sits right now it's an exteremly capable $100 tablet, even if i never get the amazon stuff figured out.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
No... that is an incredible deal

I think this is a better "Incredible Deal"... Brand new sealed in the box with full warranty and return privileges. Only $24 (~$30 with tax) more than you paid for your used machine.
[Kindle Fire General] neilrl79:
Yeah I guess so. You sure showed me.

Stock gingerbread keyboard:

Note: Voice input doesnt work but atleast we have autocorrect finally.

Just gonna drop this off here first:

landscape:

Portrait:

Note: Autocorrect doesn't show up in landscape but does in portrait!. I can't access keyboard debug menu on my tablet so I figured I would try ICS keyboard and well...that didnt go well so I thought...why not the gingerbread keyboard? And poof! It works perfectly minus voiceinput*because I cant get into debug menu* so, time for instructions?

First, you need to put the APK on your SDcard:

Download link: here

Next you need to push to your SDcard either through adb or just using USB mass storage.

Afterwards copy to system/app/ using a file manager *ES file manager or Root explorer is recommended. Root Explorer for those of you who use paid apps or ES for those of you who want a free alternative. I used Root explorer.

Here is the VERY important part, mod the permissions to the following:

Read, Write
Read
Read

Finally, just reboot and you will have it.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

You can redownload the stock APK from [URL="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/Nook%20Tablet%20Gingerbread/LatinIMEbackup.apk"]here[/URL]
and follow the rest of the guide starting after you download. It's the same universally. Also note that not all keyboard apps work well in system which is why I did it with the stock gingerbread app. Ice cream sandwich keyboards aren't too /system friendly.

Stock Gingerbread Email app:

I got the email apk from gingerbread up and running on the nook tablet *will update with screenshot. I figured I would try and it worked so no more *****ing about the stock email app being crap. You can now fix it.

How to install:

Download here

Push to SDcard

Move to system/app using root explorer *or free alternative.

change permissions to:

Read, Write
Read
Read

^ Just like that.

then reboot

and

Enjoy

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Gallery 3D from cyanogen mod:

Alright guys, I know you may not enjoy the gallery app so I figured I would get that working as well. Here are the instructions:

How to install:

Download here

Push to SDcard

Move to system/app using root explorer *or free alternative.

change permissions to:

Read, Write
Read
Read

^ Just like that

delete Gallery.apk

then reboot

and

Enjoy

More files will be up and running soon. I want as much of a stock experience regardless of the kernel situation so, expect quite a bit from me. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdavisable:
Thanks for the Gallery3D tip, the default Media app was so bad..

Also, I simply downloaded the apk to my dropbox then installed as normal from there instead of doing the Root explorer/system-app moving route -- is there any problem with doing that?

Shouldn't be

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] downsay:
I was comparing the keyboards that I can get voice input to work with and those that I cannot and I found a missing line in code (I think)...

in AndroidManifest.xml

</uses-permission>

All of the keyboards have <uses-permission name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO">, so I don't think this is the problem

If I'm completely off base, sorry. I just figured maybe I could find where the difference is and maybe we could enable the voice to text feature

How would we send texts from the Nook Tablet? I'm not trying to be a jerk at all, I'm just wondering if there's some trick I'm unaware of.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] clnook:
The google talk app works so presume this would work too.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] downsay:
I guess my thinking is that the Google Talk app can use one's own wifi/internet connection to send its messages. The texting app uses a carrier's internet to send texts to another phone.

TextPlus works, but it doesn't route by using your phone number (i.e. the carrier email address that is actually assigned to your phone #)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yaggermr:
Google voice app works great for me for texts. I do have an ingrated google voice number with sprint. I recieve all my text through google voice and can compose and have acesss to my contacts. Hope this helps and isn't just common knowledge.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sl4sher:

I understand you need to change the CID to do this, CID getter off the market says I'm already on CID 1111111 (I believe this is the super CID an means I can flash any RUU).

Anyone else had experiance with this app? On how accurate it is?

[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
I have read that most of the custom ROM's on this forum removed the HTC "snooping" software, but now the news is reporting an equally invasive (potentially) issue with something called CarrierIQ. For those who dont know it basically logs every keystroke, website, duration of call, location, etc. and sends it to your carrier for "analysis". A pretty shocking video is at the link for those who are interested. So my question is, does running a custom ROM prevent my carrier from getting all this information?

[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
I believe AOSP/source does not have CarrierIQ, and neither does CyanogenMod.
[HTC Sensation] a4ol:
There is no Carrier IQ on the HTC Sensation at T-Mobile US.
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
Do you have a link to back that up?
[HTC Sensation] mrbkkt1:
Multiple people have searched, and could not find it.

However, HTC has their own snooping software that you can opt out of, I don't think it does key logging though.
[HTC Sensation] RoboDan918:
Thanks for the info on T-Mo Sensation!
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Worth a read http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2397128,00.asp

So is Carrier-IQ mainly a US thing, or do European handsets have this too? Another thing, if you buy a SIM free (non carrier linked phone), then presumably there shouldn't be any Carrier-IQ software on the phone, at least not from a network carrier.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
If I have done my research correctly, all carriers use the IQ software on their devices. But I know for sure that the US carrier companies are the main ones that use IQ with thier devices. The reason you can not find it on HTC devices as mentioned in the articles, threads, blogs, and TrevE's website is because of of HTC Sense. Sense is so intergrated I.to the Andriod OS that even the settings are somewhat different than a pure Android device like the Nexus line of devices. But beleive me, IQ is there running in the background collecting information and sending it to the IQ website.

YAs for the question pissed in the OP, yes any true AOSP ROM like Cyanogen Mod ROMs, MIUI ROMs, or any ROM based off of them does not have any IQ in them, it is even not in the kernel as long as it is a true AOSP kernel.
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
Ok, so you are saying the Tmo USA Sensation does come with CarrierIQ? I just want to get a definitive answer on this! For what its worth, I am running a CM7 based ROM so I suspect I am ok, but its the others who are running a stock Sensation that I am concerned about.
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
UPDATE! Tmobile USA has just confirmed that they DO use CarrierIQ on their phones. The below link includes an internal screenshot that shows customer service how to respond to inquiries from customers about it. Interestingly, Tmobile also allows business accounts to remove CarrierIQ from their phones if they call in but consumer customers are out of luck.

Nice intro and review.

I used touch pal for a bit over a week. I love how it handles regular typing, the key popups are nice, and the number and punctuation swiping is terrific. On the other hand I think Swype handles correction better, and the auto spacing is kind of wonky sometimes. This leaves me wishing for a hybrid between the two keyboards. Get to work Swype devs!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dreDrennon1:
Yeah it is nice I am using it now I think it is more accurate than a Swype needs to themed though I like the look of Swype better but I like more of the functionality of TouchPal

This keyboard is nice but like above I wish it could be themed. Also, wish you could get rid of the configuration buttons on the top part of the keyboard.
