Good to know, thanks!

How can we remove such custom patches (carrier custom patches) without rooting?

(I got an update while I was traveling in Singapore. But now I don't need that. EMUI 10 update also contains update for carrier custom patch... I need to remove it before upgrading to EMUI 10)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bxrider117:
I just left my local Verizon Wireless store and I was able to play with the phone for about 20 minutes. It was hard to get a good feel for the phone in my hand because​ of the security box on the box. I liked what I saw. I have the Pixel. The camera was good and the speaker​ was a little louder than the Pixel. I was not the biggest fan of the edge screen on the S8 but I may wait till this phone is out a little before preordering.

I've been trying to get the GAPPs off my Z3C one by one. I root the phone, I start removing GAPPS, eventually I remove something that causes a bootloop and I have to restore the system partition and start trying again. Is there any existing ROM for Z3C which is the basic Sony ROM (as in the camera works, etc) but without GAPPS?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theseum:
I'd also like to know this, without reinstalling or risk of bootloops if possible.

Would actually like to use features of the phone without google calling back home with timestamped records of every network ever connected on, every app used and apps calling back through gapps api so google can squirrel away location and wifi memory to your google identity forever. Maps would be useful.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apexofservice:
You can disable a lot of this stuff (assuming you have root) using AFWall+ and in the Apps Manager settings, I leave google play services disabled. This mostly works. Where I'm having an issue is that I'd like to install micro gms core https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-microg-gmscore-floss-play-services-t3217616 as a replacement for some of these things, but to do that I need to get a clean rom without GAPPS.

Another big issue for me is that, like you, I don't really want Google continually phoning home and such. For me, battery life and simply controlling my own network activity is my main motivation. But anyway, I would be almost really happy to live with google play services simply disabled, and then re-enabling it every once in a while when it's useful (a lot like how I use location), but the issue is that if you try to disable google play services then you get "would you like to remove any updates and go back to the default"? If you click "yes", then reenabling that service means that you have to redownload the updates. I'd be equally happy to live with google play services if I could enable and disable them at will without having to reupdate/uninstall updates every cycle. As it stands, I just live with them disabled. Since I have them disabled, I'd love to go ahead and remove them and try a substitute, thus my question in the OP.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ehtisham ali:
I have cm 11 installed with 12 gb system and 1 gb media partition . and twrp 2.8.6... Installed . can i flash rom and g apps straight away ? Without foolowing other instructions
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
You can try, but I think you'll need to update the internal TWRP at least.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nsfgp:
Is anyone able to install any of the recent AOSP/LNOS builds of Amaces on a 16G NT that still uses the original partition format PLUS any recent opengapps TOGETHER successfully???

For me any builds from Amaces since 2017 can install successfully ... BUT ran out of /system space after that and cannot install OpenGapps. I use/tried PICO opengapps only always.

When I open file manager from TWRP 3100 there is nothing inside /system .... so was not able to clean up anything inside ....

Amaces: If you see this can you please help?? I know your focus is on the Ovation (I use it too) but I really want to try your LNOS for the NT on my original partitioned one.

Just FYI on the 16G NT that has the newer CM14.1 repartitioned format -> None of Amaces' ROM for Acclaim can install. Can only use dmarble's new LNOS builds or the old remaining CM14.1 builds on those.

If anyone has a good and easy solution to get around the /system out of space issue to install Gapps please share. I want to keep one acclaim on the original partition format. My other acclaim is running dmarble's ROM happily.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikeataol:
Yes, have done many times.

make sure you have mounted /system in TWRP

Try a reboot after ROM install, and before gapps install.

The latest LNOS in experimental (lnos_acclaim-ota-N2G47E.170416) installs a fresh pico gapps of about 80MB with no manipulation.

in the past if I have had to make room, I copy and delete /system/media to /emmc before gapps install, and copy it back after
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nsfgp:
Thank you Mike!!! It is the /system mounting .... I never thought it would have to be mounted .... since it complaint not enough space instead of not found/mounted. But anyway .... I mounted /system in TWRP after ROM install+reboot into recovery. Now I can see stuff inside /system.

But it still complaint about not enough /system space and cannot install Gapps. I just copied off /system/media and deleted it. And now the Gapps installed ok. I am rebooting into LNOS now.

Do I really need those stuff in /system/media and have to copy it back?? If no use I want to keep it lean.

Thanks again!!! (I am using the exact LNOS ROM in A's experimental folder as you mentioned)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] amaces:
Just a heads-up that I don't actually have the hardware, so everything that I upload for acclaim is not really tested, but I try to not to break things.

I'll put something like this on the list, so a larger /system (upstream Lineage, or via REPIT) is usable with these builds (Lineage/AOSP would still need manual resize).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PepeladZ:
So far this build (7.0) works much better than 6.0. Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] killerkalmah:
Hi, thank you very much for the tutorial, I have followed the guide step by step but I can't get the tablet to boot the cyanoboot, I turned off and plug the power cable from the adapter and it boots normally, my tablet model is BNTV250 16 GB version, runing stock OS and it has not been rooted before or anything, I have tried flash the sd with older methods in order to root it and haven't had any success, that's how I ended up here, I'm using an 8GB trascend sd card, the Tablet detect the sd card since I can see the files in the tablet browser but I can't get it to boot the cyanoboot or anything else, can someone assist me? thank you very much in anticipation.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikeataol:
there is a certain percentage of Nook tablets that wont boot from a card unless you power down, insert the card, then power up by inserting the USB cable, not by pressing the on/off switch. (about 15% of nooks I've seen are like this)

if even that doesn't work, you should make another card . Class 4 is best, faster isn't better in this case.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
If the tablet won't boot from the SD card it's likely that there is either something wrong with the boot files, i.e., those files first placed on the card in step 2a, or with the formatting of the card (step 1). You might want to download a fresh set of files and try making the card again. Corrupt files will make this task impossible.

It's also possible that your particular SD card just won't do it. It's been known to happen.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] killerkalmah:
That's they way I've tried, inserting the USB cable, the sd is class 4 indeed, so I don't know what it could be.

Is it possible that the SD card can be read it, explorer and formated from the tablet and unable to do the boot? cuz the tablet appear to recognize evrything on the SD
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
Unfortunately, yes. I'm not saying your card is defective but this whole business of booting from the card contains a minor but distinct element of voodoo ;)

So....download those files from step 2a again, reformat the card (again....), and prepare it as before (again....). If it still does not work, I'd look for a different card to try this process. Don't be discouraged. I did a lot of "again..." when I first did anything like this. It

will

work for you.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] killerkalmah:
I downloaded those files again, re-do the sd card and prepare it again, it still don't boot lol

This is the link I'm following for the TWRP image; https://dl.twrp.me/acclaim/twrp-2.8.6.0-acclaim-sdcard.img, i don't know if I have to use that or the one that comes in the suculent boot folder?

Another thing is that I've been using an SD card adapter and have tried trough the nook too, and also downloaded the mini gaaps file for android 7 ARM, but I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with the boot stuff, so I'm gonna fallow your suggestion and try with an old 1 gb or 2 gb card, and see what happens, everything related on formating the SD via partition tool mini has done correctly, my Internet security blocks a menace while I attemp to download the files from media fire, you think that could be corrupting the files? I get the download and the menace blocked by Iinternet Security so I'm not sure, if you have any other suggestion I will be glad to read, meanwhile I will search for those damn cards, and I can't thank you enough for you time helping a noob here! thanks!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
You are downloading the correct TWRP. The other one is too old. I don't know about any warnings from MediaFire. I just downloaded the succulent_boot.zip myself and saw no warnings, but that may be browser/configuration dependent. I'm using Firefox with a double layer of ad-blocking.

Generally speaking you want to download the files on your PC, then insert the SD card into the adapter, into the SDHC slot, and do all the work on the PC before inserting the card into the tablet.

If you have a way to verify the MD5 checksums of your boot files (winmd5free), this is what I get:

MLO: 979fa71c9ee33ca9690df809c71e1991

u-boot.bin: 1070cd90b3d57a47cdc8c22b00243ff7

flashing_boot.img: 3a626c102ef4324a163d54751ef680f1

I think you might run into size issues with the mini GApps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] killerkalmah:
Alright! I found 3 sd cards each of them with a 2gb capacity, that should the incompatibilty, each three are different brands, and I found a better SD adapter, I will re-do all the steps in building the SD and if that does not work will download the files again with jdownloader to avoid menace pop outs, and if that doesn't do I will check the MD5 :fingers-crossed: I will update here, and thank you again!.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] killerkalmah:
Update: it was the SD, I manage to do all the steps except for the gapps file, I couldn't install it, which you will recomend to download, I download the ARM android 7.0 mini, and more importantly my tablet loops on the "android" screen, with or without the SD inside, am I missing something? I did not installed supersu even though I got asked a few times during tutorial, any suggestion?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nosborm:
Have you tried clearing the cache? That worked for me the first time I did this.

Also, which OS image are you using? When I tried to reinstall a newer version mine would not boot after copying gapps over, presumably due to space.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] killerkalmah:
I'm a little bit lose regarding memory space on this tablet, I reinstall the OS that was in this tutorial and finally booted to menu, but I can't connect to wifi, I don't know why, I might install another OS, which gapps file you reccomend to download? the stock, full version or mini?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nosborm:
I have no idea about the wi-fi issue, hopefully someone else can help you with that.

I installed [MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION] AOSP 7.1.1 Acclaim March build (NOF27C built on 3/20/2017) from his shared Box, check this post for the link and more info (exact image no longer available), and the Arm 7.1 Pico Gapps package according to instructions earlier in this guide and that worked for me. I tried installing the latest (at the time) AOSP 7.1.2 Acclaim build, N2G47J built on 4/16/2017, but it failed to boot after I installed the most recent version of the same Arm 7.1 Pico Gapps. I haven't tried the May update/build yet but that's on my to-do list.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] killerkalmah:
Quick question, following this guide again to re-install everything I ended up with the touch screen disabled, I can boot the cyanogen menu and when I enter the internal recovery in TWRP I can't touch click on anything... is this a commun issue with this tablet? is there a way I can recover my tablet from this??
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
You've been busy.

I would not recommend anything but the pico GApps package. You're just asking for trouble with memory issues and even if it works you might have a tablet that is so overloaded it will run poorly.

I have no clues about either the Wi-Fi or touch-screen issues, but I suggest that if you are having issues with the internal TWRP, you may want to try a newer version. There is a 3.1.0-0 flashable version in the same folder where you got the 3.0.2-0 from [MENTION=3511186]digixmax[/MENTION]. I can't say for sure that it will work, but I did find the 3.0.2-0 sort of flaky.

I recommend if you try again that you also do Advanced Wipe, including system (this is all assuming that you did a back-up of the stock system).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] killerkalmah:
Thank you, sorry for the rushed questions, I usually do more testing myself befor ask, but between this and my ps4 ram memory issues and HDD issues, I was desperate to fix one lol... thank you!, your suggestions worked for me, I reinstalled the image and downloaded the pico GApps package and the store works great, about the wi-fi problem it apears that the OS does not like hidden signals so I changed that in my router, and finally; about the touch feature I think that the possition of my tablet hinders some way the touch-hability... weird, might be hardware issue but it got solved.

Maybe my final question before trying other ROM... is there a way to have Netflix installed on the device using this OS or other??:confused:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
According to the PlayStore on my PC, Netflix is incompatible with all my devices (a KitKat phone, my Nook Tablet AOSP 7.0 and my NST [ha-ha]). But it does not give the Android version requirements, just "varies wih version". Well, thanks a bunch. This is sometimes a problem with the PlayStore which occasionally insists that our devices are still running Gingerbread.

It may be that it will run just fine. The problem is obtaining a copy. You may need to try another app source and side-load it. If you have a device on which the app is functioning, you can install a re-packaging app which will reconstitute the apk package so you can copy it to your Nook Tablet and side-load it. Then you will see if it will install. I use Apk Share by Kibzorg Labs on my KitKat phone to re-package apps that the PlayStore won't let me install on my Nook Tablet even though I know they will run. Of course if they won't install on my KitKat phone (as in this case) then I am SOL. That means I need to look around elsewhere.

I hope you don't abandon the ROM before you at least give it a chance, not after all that work! It really does sing and is very stable.

Edit: Uh-oh Read this.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] killerkalmah:
Understood. Sadly my rooted phone does not run netflix app neither lol, I'll have to check mom's tablet, I mostly use my pc and phone to run programs and apps, and my ps4 for streaming content, so I don't have a tablet for me, but damn! I'm having so much fun with this one that I'm planing on keep it for myself instead of give it away to my brother haha, the ROM is awesome! to bad you can't run netflix on it, but aside that gripe it feels very responsive for his characteristics, I've been watching youtube and twitch and it performs great.

And I keep finding things to do with, for example, how can I install an SD card? it seems that the device does not recognize the SD, and when I download an image from chrome, it says that the SD card is missing, so I will look into that, is a great ROM, after messing with it all the day I'm very pleased.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
FWIW Playstore no longer lists Netflix apk for my HD+ running LN14.1, but the dated version I had installed long time ago still works just fine though it stopped getting updates from the Playstore for quite some time now.

In so far as alternate sources for Apps that Playstore deems incompatible for your devices, you can try searching Android App Download portals such as APKMirror (http://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=netflix), or APKPure (https://apkpure.com/netflix/com.netflix.mediaclient).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] killerkalmah:
Thank you! I will look on those sites this night to see if I can make it run on the device.

Any advice to use an SD card with this ROM? is the SD partitioning for that? It seems that the tablet does not recognize any of my cards.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
SD card partition formatted as FAT32 should work, although the Nook might have problem with partition size >16GB.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] :
I dusted off the old girl and wiped it and installed nougat last night. I can't remember what I had on it before but this is much faster. Then tried installing netflix but couldn't find it. Luckily netflix website actually hosts the apk file so I got it from there.

Next up installed Directv Now. Some reason the app thinks I am rooted or maybe it's a resolution thing because I get a compatible device error. I am able to stream it to my chromecast but video will not play on the tablet. Not a huge deal since this tablet is basically a TV remote but I'd like it to work correctly.

Last app issue I ran into was Tinycam Pro app couldn't find my camera's. I had to add them manually. Just strange every other device, including the nook on other roms was able to find it.

I put the tablet down with 20% battery last night. I woke up this morning to a dead tablet. I tried charging it but the "N" screen would flash on then the tablet would die. As long as it is plugged this happens over and over. Pretty much just boot looping but I am not too concerned yet. I was not using the OEM cable for charging. Just one I had for another phone.

anyone run into similar issues or know how to fix them?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
This ROM

is

rooted (did you install the SU as per the instructions?). That's also why you can't get Netflix from the PlayStore.

No idea on this one, but 20% is dangerously low for these tablets. Someone once warned me that 35% was about as low as it was safe to go. What happens if you connect the tablet to a PC via USB in its current condition?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] :
Damn how did I miss that! Nope didn't didn't install SU. I will do it today. Hopefully do that and some more tinkering I can get the Directv Now working correctly.

As far as battery goes I am not so sure the percentage is even correct. Ever since the first time I flashed a rom years ago it never seemed to read correctly. I need to find the actual Nook cable when I get home from work today. I will post up results when I do.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
OK, just to be clear, if the DirectTV Now is balking because it thinks the tablet is rooted, installing the SU will not help that. What it will do is allow you to properly use apps that require root access.

Be sure to use the SU package indicated in the installation directions.

The OEM cable may give different results. I'll cross my fingers :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] :
SU installed per instructions. Now DirecTV keeps asking for root access. As suspected still doesn't stream but I will take that issue to the appropriate forum.

I couldn't find my original cable. I do have the wall block from Barnes and Noble. The only wire that works is my Chromecast wire. Charges super slow but works. I am back in business.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
Check the settings in SU. There is a setting to suppress notifications that su was requested. Also be sure the box is checked in the initial approval so it automatically grants access once approved.

You can get charging cables for the Nook Color/Tablet on eBay (they are the same) but it might be the charger if it's not B&N. They were pretty hefty as chargers go (5V @ 1.9A) so you might want to check the current rating.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zswielder:
Does anyone know if there will be an option for 8GB model? Or, is that just not possible?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I believe that amaces' AOSP/LN ROMs for acclaim works for the 8GB model, but you should PM him and ask.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
If you get a reply from [MENTION=4473900]amaces[/MENTION], please share it here. My impression is that some have tried to flash this ROM on 8 gb tablets and they ran into problems. My installation on a 16 gb tablet is typically running in the 500-600 mb RAM range, and I have pico GApps and not a great number of memory intensive things going on, so it may be a non-starter for an 8 gb tablet.

If it did work, that would really be great news for those with the 8 gb models :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jglen490:
So I had nothing better to do today, so I decided to re-review the instructions and what I had previously downloaded and see if I can really mess up my perfectly good Nook Tablet.

So I quickly realized that I needed to rebuild the SD card that I was going to use. Lesson: read twice, download once, read twice again, check download. So With hard copy instructions in hand, I shut down my CyanogenMod 10.1.3 powered Tablet, stuck in the SD card, plugged it in and followed the instructions. At the end, I had a fine Android 7.0 driven Tablet. The only surprise was that I had to re-setup the other SD card that had my books, music, and other "traveling" files.

I tried the above recommended Nova Launcher, but gave up and am just running with the stock launcher. There was no change to the icons and nothing I could see to do anything magical with them. It's O.K., I don't run an lot of different apps anyway.

All in all, at the end of Day 1 on "Nougat", I'm very pleased. Thanks for the developers and the good instructions.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
I have to admit that Nova Launcher bedeviled me at first. The app drawer button was gone! Apparently this is a common problem, as Google told me, and the suggested fix solved that. But if you only run a few apps the stock icon size is probably fine.

I'm glad you like the ROM. I continue to be really happy with it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jglen490:
Day 2, still great and not rapidly eating my battery. Under 10.1.3 battery was going down quickly even if the Tablet was idling for most of the day. Good job!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jglen490:
So the Google calendar from the Playstore "stops working". Tried uninstalling it and reinstalling. Same result. I was using it with a widget, uninstalled that widget, still same problem. I have a lot of data and syncing with Google Calendar invested in this. It needs to work. Any ideas?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikeataol:
If I see something like this I would try an older version of the app

I always set Play Store not to automatically update apps.

You can get apk's of the old app on the web from many places, but this one looks to have a lot of that app

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/calendar/
