FOR SPRINT GALAXY TABs - DEACTIVATION OF SPRINT ACTIVATION MESSAGE ON BOOT and ACTIVATE DEVICE NOTIFICATIONS.
Ok well the verizon method of bypassing the activation everytime you start the tab doesnt work (vol up once, vol down twice, etc. etc.)
I used the 2nd post in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866162
to try and deactivate the activation screen, but it bricked my Sprint Tab. I had to use the rom available here which messes up GPS and modem. But anyway foxmeister mentioned why not just go to the app and delete, freeze, it.
1) I used Root explorer and went to:
/system/app/
2) put the folder in R/W mode (look at top for button)
3) now look for -
sprintadroidextension.apk
4) long hold press it, either copy it and paste it in another folder as backup.
5) go back to /system/app/ and long hold press sprintadroidextension.apk
again and Delete it.
6) put the folder back in R/O mode.
Now restart and you should not see anymore activation messages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =]
Thank you to : foxmeister, sirmacbeth, rkmj
RKMJ stated you can try to use Titanium Backup and freeze the app instead of deleting it. I just deleted it and it WORKS =].
I also saved a backup in another folder so in case i need the app i'll have it.
I'll try to upload the apk for anyone who needs it later.
I made a separate topic on this because 1) i tried it and it worked 2) the other thread is confusing and can lead you to brick your sprint tab fast.
Finally!!! Something that finally appears to work!
Thank you!

R/W button?
I can't STAND the activation prompt... until today, I just put the tab in Airplane mode, and rebooted. That got rid of it, but I have to manually turn on the WiFi every time i boot it. I'm in position, but can't for the life of me find the R/W mode button, or a way to change the permissions... lil' help please?
Thanks for this! Whether ot works for me or not, I HAVE learned something!
=IP IHI II IL=
is your tab rooted? Are you use root explorer?
when you get over to the /system/app directory, on the upper left/middle side of the screen you'll see a button that might say either R/O or R/W
Click that button, it will switch from read only mode to read/write mode.
It might say Mount R/O or Mount R/W, i forgot exactly how it was.
I don;t have my tab on me, sent it into samsung because I did some stupid stuff nd lost my GPS capability.\
Cheers.
Worked good for me. Thanks!
I'm still going to use my G Tab in Airplane mode for the most part however. I have a hunch it's draining battery when it's locked onto the EVDO network, and there's signal bars in the status bar at the top of the screen.

What is this activation prompt? I have a Sprint Tab and have never seen it.
I'm sure there was some sort of activation the very first time I used the device, but certainly not every time I turn it on.
after deleting the file with root explorer it came back again.
how to delete the file? the tab is rooted
Ok, so I did everything and when I delete the file it comes right back. As soon as I go back to the system folder it seems the program regenerates itself.
Now I am having a problem with the R/O mode switch. When I first open the program I can change it to Mount r/w. However, as soon as I get into the system folder and the app folders the mount r/o button kind of greys out and when I click it nothing happens.
any ideas?
Thanks! This worked well for me. Only change was I used Super Manager rather than Root Explorer to delete the file (since it was free and on the Market for Sprint). If you don't set the directory to R/W is seems to work but dfoes not actually delete the file.
My question now is do I have to be concerend with firmware updates. Will they reset this or fail to apply? TIA
I think I answered this myself - Can't get OTA firmware updates and if you try it tries to activate again!
Future firmware updates are problematic too I hear - they will attempt tp prevent people hacking or rooting the device.

Yes, you can get Titanium Backup for free through the market and freeze the app. Also, for anyone having trouble deleting the app, freezing it through Titanium Backup will produce the same result of removing the activation prompt.
Bump for Woot buyers.
I've been having this problem on my Sprint Galaxy S III. I tried this method but it didn't work - activation came up again right after reboot. I tried searching for activation disabling on the GSIII and this was the only thing I could find. Anybody have any ideas on how to get the SIII to can the activation screen?
ADDED
I tried moving the sprint_installer.apk to my newly created backup folder where I also moved the sprintandroidextension.apk. I checked and that file did not regenerate as it did for another user in this discussion. Both are in the Backup sub-folder I created in the /system/app/ folder. Could it still be seeing these .apk's in there and loading them anyway? I've even picked up the paid version of Titanium Backup so I could try freezing the file (free version won't let you reeze but I use TB enough I figured $3.99 was more than reasonable for use I'd already gotten from it whether it helped this situation or not) but for some reason, it refuses to see the sprintandroidextension.apk file at all but I was able to freeze the Sprint-Installer.apk but it didn't appear to have any effect whatsoever.

This is a total noob question, so feel free to hit me.
I really like this Phone.apk from the N1. It works just fine on my phone, but when you bring up the dialpad in a call, the last row is slightly covered up (it was obviously designed for a higher resolution phone). It's not a huge deal, because you can still press the buttons. I was going to fix it with apktool but simply resigning the file causes it not to work anymore. Does anyone know how to fix this? I didn't think files in system/app needed to be signed.
hey i know this doesnt answer your question,
but i was able use the youtube.apk from the Evo on my unrooted eris
how come i cant use this on my phone as well?
it just says, application not installed
I guess the answer to my question is this is just a plain system file which is open source so I should not need apktool. Since it was so different, I thought it was custom.
To answer the previous post, you cant install this file. It has to be pushed or flashed since it requires replacing the original system file which requires root access.
I can look into resizing some things for you, but I'm wondering, how did you get this to work on your phone?
I pushed it to system/app and it worked when I made a cal, but as soon as i got a call, it fc'd and I lost my signal.

It works great on CE. No problems. I'm only running 1.0 right now, though.
EDIT: Chevelle1768 found a working copy with the buttons correctly spaced in darchstar's Darchdroid v2.6.5. It works awesome. I pushed both Phone.apk and Contacts.apk to my phone. Just don't do it while your phone is actually on. Flash it in recovery. IMO, it's a much better dialer than the other stock one. Don't try this with Sense, though. I'm not sure what would happen.

hmmm... I pushed the phone and contacts apk as as soon a s I did my signal went dead. Even if I try *228 I get an error : "Not Registered on a Network"
I'm running Senseless 1.0
Phone.apk is not what you think it is. It is not the dialer.
Well, ok, it handles the in call experience. Contacts.apk I think is what actually contains the dialer. In any event, the interface that this Phone.apk file has is better. Instead of having to tap your menu key to bring up in call actions (ie. mute, bluetooth, end call, add call, etc ...) all of the options are right there on the screen already. It even has a button to show/hide the dialpad. And the dialpad does not just spring up like the app drawer, it appears on the screen above the buttons.
I'm not sure which ROMs this will work on, but it definitely works on CE. It may work on other Cyanogen based ROMs as well.
Here is a screen shot in case anyone is wondering.

yes but how come i was able to overwrite the youtube app on my phone then?
If you're not rooted, that means you have Sense which this does not work with anyhow. If you somehow managed to install this without root, you would brick your phone for sure.
I want that dialer on my Eris!!! I've been searching for a way to do this for weeks but have come up empty. Will this work on Evil Eris since it has some Sense components still?
So which file did you install that was spaced correctly, can you link to it? Can you also post the contacts .apk? Also, Can you please tell me how to "push" it to the phone, is that the same as flashing?
Sorry for n00b questions but I'm desperate for this dialer!!!

Check my third post. There is a link to Darchdroid. This looks like it only works on Cyanogen based ROMs.
Do this in recovery so your phone does not have a fit.
Code:
adb remount
adb push Phone.apk /sdcard/Phone.apk
adb shell
# mv /system/app/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.bak
# cp /sdcard/Phone.apk /system/app/
# reboot
Tried searching but didn't find any old topic about it.
However i recall reading some members complaining about this

i always make sure i have enough space to do an upgrade, or install a new app
however this error keeps poping up very often
another similar error is
Unknown
error - 18
these 2 errors are very easy to reproduce when you select the UPDATE ALL button in Market
or even when trying to upgrade or install 3 or more apps at a time
seems like whatever is the default size for the TEMP cache is too small
If any one knows which line of code we can edit to assign it more space, that should solve the problem
I've gotten this and I have hardly anything installed so it was obviously a mistake. I tried to install right after and it worked fine. There's so many random bugs on this thing. Ugh

I get this every so often on my phone as well. It's moderately annoying, but usually just trying to reinstall the app works for me.
i fixed my problem with getting unsuccessful downloads. this is what i did... open titanium backup, press backup/restore, find download manager in the list of apps and press on it, then press wipe data. and it worked
Just thinking loudly !!!
Could not your problem be related to USB ON/OFF mode? i.e. you might be trying to install an app from the market while your phone attached to your PC via USB and USB mode is ON on the phone. So, your SDCard is read only mode somehow.

Worth looking into, but it should only be an issue if he's using apps2sd (or whatever it's called in Gingerbread). Apps are installed to /data/apps unless you've pushed them to the sdcard.

that's not the cause
as it works fine (install / upgrade) if i just hit retry
if the USB was mounted, it would always fail to access the internal SD, the market will always be unable to download/install

happened to me twice today updating my apps but when you reinstall it goes through
i only had the problem on custom ROMs
after i flashed back to stock ROM it works great
i can hit "update all" and 15+ apps are downloading/installing at the same time without problem
I continue to have these market problems with CM7 - and had exactly the same with custom roms on my Hero

Seems to be IO related. I can reproduce by copying large files to/from /system or /sdcard
Large being defined as 25MB+
I only get this error when i try to install 2 apps at the same time. I.e. when my apps r being restored from market after factory reset. Or when an app from market is being installed and i try to install one downloaded from xda at the same time

I have also been getting this error on stock 2.3.3
I get this error too, and I'm not rooted. It happens when I press 'update all'. When I manually update that app after the error, it updates just fine.
It's not really annoying or anything, it just happens. But it's not related to Custom ROMs.

That's what's worked for me when I've had this issue come up on my Vibrant. I can't attest to it being an update problem with the ROM or a problem with the footprint restored when I reload my apps using Titanium, but the Wipe Data has done the job.
All else failing reinstalling the app has worked. The one time the reinstall didn't (error code message instead of insufficient storage) I had to wipe the cache for the Market (Google Play) app to get it to work.
My rooted phone crashed the other night - wouldn't boot passed the Galaxy S screen. So I wiped it clean.
When I tried to install a program, the Package Installer was missing from the list of actions.
I flashed back to stock ROM.
It's still not showing up in my actions menu.
When I go to settings/applications/ALL - it shows Package Installer at 0.00B.

Never heard of that website and it keeps timing out on me.
You're better off using the video linked above to Odin back to stock. This will erase all your data, so either start from scratch or back up your apps and whatnot.
Bad news...I followed the instructions from your suggested video.
Put on SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar
Still...the Program Installer doesn't show up on the ACTIONS menu!
It goes Music, then Phone, the gTalk Settings....
Grrrrrrrrrr.
Any other ideas?
So are you trying to side load an application? Meaning you have "Unknown sources" checked under the Settings > Applications menu, and have an apk file to install.
The phone won't install that apk file? Or are you looking for something else to happen when you touch the file on the screen?
If none of the above, then I'm lost at what you're trying to accomplish.
Correct. I'm just trying to load up some apk's that I have on SugarSync/DropBox/SD Card/etc. Unknown Sources is checked.
When I click on the apk - it gives me the action menu. None of those actions is Package Installer. It used to be there, now it isn't. I've loaded all my programs this way in the past.
I tried Odin again and put on the EC05 tar file. Same result. No Package Installer listed in the actions menu.
Man, I just don't know. This is my first time reading of such a problem on the Epic forum.
Using Odin and that tar file gives you 100% stock Froyo. You can then install apk files once the "unknown sources" option is selected.
Did you re-install any other applications after using Odin or restore your data? That could be your culprit, which would mean you'd have to start from scratch (aka clean install).
Starting from total scratch.
It's a mystery.
The only thing I installed was SugarSync so that I could get to the files.
I even tried downloading ASTRO File Manager and using their installer that shows up on the actions menu. That used to work to install...but it doesn't anymore. It just sticks.
I guess maybe I need to go to the Sprint Store. Good thing I flashed her

It's a pretty extensive list. I did root it, but I know I had the update problem before I rooted it so I don't think that did anything to it. Hopefully we can figure out why they are messed up for both of our sakes. Thanks!

Wow man... I'm glad you were able to assist the people affected, but the attitude/negative tone is unnecessary. I just saw the post requesting me [or anyone for that matter] to share the files.
I stated that using Odin to go back to stock may be best. He/She was discussing a problem with what many would consider a core function, being able to install an application. Finally, CWM often gives bad flashes, so in my mind it appeared to be a logical suggestion to start with 100% stock and work from there to find the culprit.
I did not share the APK files because I got busy, forgot about the post and missed the request.

Just saw this post due to it being on page 1 again. The post above your recent reply contains the files.
***TLDR: I edited build.prop, and now it looks like my /system/ folder has been deleted, phone won't boot. Will I be able to save my phone? or do I have to re flash it and start from scratch?
I was trying to get a patched Google Wallet working on my rooted S4 I9505OXAAMDE, and supposedly the app wouldn't open on most devices, so I changed some device details in the build.prop file in the /system folder.
The only things I changed are these values:
ro.product.model=GT-I9505
ro.product.name=jfltexx
ro.product.device=jflte
to
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
I did this on the S4 with a text editor (after changing the system folder to being RW instead of RO), and then I rebooted my S4. It gets up to the point where it says "Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505....", then goes to a black screen and just hangs there. At this point I can't do anything. I can't turn the phone off then on again with the power button, nothing shows up on the screen. The only response I can get is that the blue notification LED turns on for a bit after I press some buttons.
After that, I put the phone in recovery mode (using Phil's Touch Recovery mod, or something by that name), and tried to ADB pull the my backup build.prop (called build.prop.bak) from the system folder; adb tells me "remote object does not exist". I then tried pulling a copy i put in the /sdcard/ folder, and that worked. So I had the proper build.prop on my pc (with the i9505 settings), and i then pushed it to /system/build.prop. All should have been good at that point, but when I try to boot I get the same problem.
I then installed a recovery file manager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108 and had a look around in that. According to it there were only 2 things in the /system/ folder; an empty folder called "bin" and the build.prop that I pushed there earlier. From what I remember when I originally edited the build.prop file, there were heaps of folders and files in /system/.
So it seems like something, for some reason deleted my /system/ folder Now I'm guessing I can just flash the stock firmware again (got that downloading now), but I don't want to lose all my apps and such. Is it possible to keep my old setup after flashing? (I don't plan on wiping/resetting anything during the flash)
I also read somewhere that maybe i have to mount/remount (i have no idea) the system folder, and then it might appear again, but I have no clue honestly.
Anything I can do? I really don't want to start with a completely fresh phone, I wanna keep my old setup.
Thanks
EDIT: I tried running "adb remount", and it says "remount failed: success" I don't know what that means, but I was hoping that the /system/ folder isn't lost, that it was just unmounted at some point and hidden in a different location.
Any ideas?

Yep, about to flash stock firmware now, out of options. I just hope it doesn't delete stuff.
Re flashing fixed it, and i didn't lose any files. Just a couple of messed up settings etc, easy to fix. Gotta re-root it though.

I tried to disable family square and that video page because i don use it and hate the icons i never use. Like your clean look but it doesn work for my view. After a reboot the icons are stil there.
How did you do that?

did you use Debloater or that apps Package Disabler he post on
Package Disabler didn't work for me.
Debloater hides apps fine though.
I just bought package disabler from ospolice aiming to remove that in my case unused video-startscreen.
So far i couldnt remove it but it wont start any app when i click on it leaving me not too happy as i wanted to get rid of that waste of screen-estate.
Any hints on how i could do that with package disabler?
Cheers, red
Ps: Oh, and the small family sqaure icon is also still present on the lower left although it doesnt seem to do anything any more...
Whoopsie, guess I now semi-bricked my t670 through package disabler from ospolice ;(
After disabling all bloat-packages (which did not remove the video-home-screen as mentioned above) I re-enabled some and possibly also disabled a package so that my galaxy view now won't launch the android UI but hangs after the Samsung animation repeatedly showing a warning message 'GUI stopped' (translated meaning).
I can hit 'OK' how often I want, the andoid-UI won't show; luckily, I can still enter ODIN-Flash-Mode by holding Vol-Up and Vol-Down while powering the device on.
The big question for me now is: where do I get the original samsung ROM to re-flash and hopefully unbrick my galaxy view?
EDIT: I've found my countries version on the following sites:
- http://www.mrcrab.net (links to rapidgator)
- https://www.samdownloads.de (requires registration)
- http://www.sammobile.com (requires registration, slow free download (15kbps))
- https://samsung-firmware.org (requires registration)
i wonder which of those is trustworthy? any experiences with any of the mentioned sites?
speedwise: downloads from rapidgator and samdowloads load rather fast in my case (>200kbps), samsung-firmware is capped at 75kbps.
any ideas on this are very welcome!
EDIT2: downloaded ROMs from mrcrab.net, samdownloads.de and samsung-firmware.org, they all yield the same T670UEU1AOJC_T670OXX1AOJC_HOME.tar.md5 with the same md5-hash e3a20cc856904f97f107e5136eed22cf so I guess/hope that they represent the original ROM...
EDIT3: re-flashing via ODIN succeeded but UI did still not come up after a restart so i also wiped data and performed a factory reset. afterwards UI came back and the t670 was of course factory reset. at least my tablet is not semi-bricked any more.
so... i still have to find a way to get rid of that stupid video-home-screen. if anyone succeded please outline what steps were performed.
cheers, red

ngah, those evil little creature are indeed a nightmare! good luck in getting rid of them and recovering from all that itchiness :fingers-crossed:
nice to hear from you, but you didn't mention if you succeded (and how) in getting rid of the galaxy view's video-homescreen. i'd love to remove it but didn't get really far so far
