[MOD] Remove Handsfree Activation

graffixnyc · Jan 14, 2012

This is a little flashable zip I threw together so people could disable the Hands Free Activation nag at boot(not needed if you are running my DeSensed-View wifi rom). This will work on both GB and HC on any rom

Instructions:
Boot into Recovery
Flash zip
Reboot

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU FLASH THIS AND BRICK YOUR VIEW

Thanks a bunch!

Can someone help a noob with this? Just want to make sure I get this right and don't pooch something:

I have GB, rooted, Revolutionary s-off.

- Download the file to /mnt/sdcard/
- Boot into Recovery, and choose "install zip from sdcard"
- select the zip and done?

Is that all?

Edit: Just took the plunge and did this. Thx OP

Thanks, will try this tonight. I was so hoping to get rid of that activation nag.

I accidentally found another way around this... Over the last weekend I somehow enabled my 4G radio. When I opened my browser I was redirected to https://deviceselfservice.sprint.com/dsa/4gportal/welcome.actiob.c... (URL shortened) So I did a little googling and found that you can get one day of free service on 3G/4G by using the promo code Free Day (it is case sensitive)... After a reboot, my tablet was able to activate with no issues and since the trial expiration, I haven't been bugged about it since.

So... If you aren't rooted and don't feel like taking the plunge, you can get rid of the nag screen this way.

been trying that free day code, not working for me.

Googled it as well and it is the right code, but cannot get it to work.

Did you type it all as one word? Capital F and D?

jacobbones · Apr 21, 2012

Just did the fix and it worked, quick and easy to do.

Thanks

natefuhr · Apr 23, 2012

Two words... capital F and D

Maybe it doesn't work for rooted?

A stated, I found this purely by chance... and I am still bone stock honeycomb....

umm no one else has any problems. You need to be rooted for it to work since it removes a system file. If something is screwed up you did something wrong. There have been hundreds of downloads of this zip and you're the first that's claiming it's not working.

Probably would have helped to have quoted my original post eh?... Live and learn...

What does this script remove? If rooted, can this be done manually without running the script.

im going to go on a hunch and say whats in red

its only for people who dont plan on activating their view and only want to use wifi. with out it the tablet will bug you to activate at every boot, if you have activated it on sprint then its not needed

pbanj, I'm pretty sure jwzg was aware of what the ZIP does, but that he (just like me) is curious to learn what the actual internal changes to the system partition are, and if the same effect can be achieved manually e.g. via "adb shell".

If I had a thanks button on the XDA app, I'd have used it there henningspruth.
