Hello,
Just reading through some android news and came across this. Android Injector. It will appearantly let you install apps directly to phone w/ out having to use command line or adb. Seems like a pretty easy way to get gingerbreak on to your phone. I havent used it because im at work, if somebody wants to give it a go, let us know =).

Hello XDA,
I was wondering if there was a way to achieve full market access other then using the CM7 rom? Do any of the other roms/rooting methods under "nook tablet android development" do this? Can anyone confirm?
Thanks for the help.
Root, install gapps, and voila--market access.
I do have market already on my tablet however I know there are some apps that dont show up in the market, I usually side load apps on that dont show up but if I were to just get them from the market it would be much easier and convenient.
Change build.prop to look like nexus S that mod is in apps & themes section, still wont give you all access but its the best you can do. Also if you're outside the US download market unlocker from android market.

You need to edit the build.prop for that. It's not very hard, but can be a little tricky. Search around (here or on google) and you'll find good instructions on that. The following thread links to quite a few helpful tips and tricks for NT, and editing build.prop is one of them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415812
Good luck, and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for all your help everyone. I should have done the smart thing and looked at the Intro/Newbie Thread. I was able to modify the build.prop, looks like Ill have to stick with it for now, not exactly what I wanted but its a start. I shall just have to wait till the new CM7 is released.
This is an Xposed module (See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 for more on Xposed) that allows Time Warner's TWC TV app to work when USB debugging is enabled. It should also allow working with VPNs but this has not been tested.
Source code for the module is at https://github.com/Entropy512/XposedTWCTVPatcher
To install:
Install the Xposed Installer APK from the thread linked above
Install the Xposed framework using Xposed Installer
Install the APK linked in this post
Reboot your device after enabling the module in Xposed Installer
Enjoy TWC TV on a rooted device - no more need for a smali-hacked APK, just install it straight from the Play Store
Change Log
Changes:
9/11/2013:
Update to work with newer TWC updates. Sorry this took so long.
The app no longer seems to be checking for root in any way, so this just disables USB debug checks and also attempts to patch VPN detection. VPN detection patching is untested.

TWC pushed an update today. ProGuard obfuscation resulted in the name of a method we hooked changing from w to x...

Looks like it's only for Verizon users. It's probably best if someone who can regularly use the APK makes a module to do this.
I'm eventually going to write a very generic high-level guide with tips on how to figure out what an APK is doing.
If you know of anyone who has "fixed" that APK using the old smali-hack method, I can analyze that with androdiff to try and reproduce the techniques used.
Awesome!!!!
DAMMIT IT WORKED ON MY ROOTED ASUS TRANSFORMER 300 TF!!!!! Thank you for this.
Any plans on implementing the HDMI fix?
Hi, thanks for sharing this hack. I wonder if something like this would be possible to allow the install and running of Hulu Plus from the Play Store on a rooted device.

Yup, although it wouldn't come from me as I'm a Plus subscriber.
If there's a hacked Plus APK somewhere, I suggest using Androidguard's androdiff.py to figure out what it's patching.
Then use the Androguard Simple Text plugin to view the relevant source for the APK.
This should tell you which methods need to be overridden to always return true/false.
It works on galaxy s ii from Sprint running cm10. Although the app doesn't actually work. It opens and video status to play but then gets error. If you need with it when it first stats playing it turns green when it stops playing. The only Rom I have gotten it to work on is Blue Kuban. Any ideas?

This thread is only to discuss the mod to defeat root/USB debug checks in the app. It's not really the appropriate place to discuss any underlying device incompatibilities the app may have.
All I can say is - the graphics subsystem in CM10 on all exynos4 devices isn't exactly in the best shape. There is a reason CM10 and 10.1 never received M or stable builds for any exynos4 handset or tablet.
TWC pushed an update today.
This update changed the name of one of the methods this module hooks, so the module needed an update.
In theory, Xposed modules should keep working through an update, but if someone used ProGuard obfuscation, method names change often and as a result the module needs updating.

It checks for VPN? I'll take a look at that at some point.
The problem is, it's difficult to try blocking checks without a way to test the block, due to ProGuard obfuscation of the APK - You need to do a lot of reading to figure out exactly what the hell it's trying to do.
Although if there's a smali-hacked APK somewhere that does this, I can try and use androdiff to figure out what was patched.
Next on my list is HDMI.

Take a look at this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604411&page=9. They are trying to get hdmi and vpn to. Said they may know the smali code checking for vpn. Maybe you contact that dev and work together and get them both working. If I can help any way let me know. I don't hardy know any programming but I can poke around a little.

There's a good chance the network locks are done server-side... e.g. "don't allow it to work unless the connection comes from a Time Warner IP address".
nearly total noob here.
I got a Huawei Valiant, rooted and with CWM flashed.
I have been compiling files to produce various ROMS; one ROM with only original Huawei apks, one with all the bloat stripped out, and one with all the elite cool hacking goodies.
While I am able to easily tweak my ROM on-device, I am unsure about how to take one of my back ups and make it a distributable ROM without any personal data.
I have tried to search, but to be honest this site doesnt seem to like my phone one bit.
Thanks in advance!
No responses???
I'm really wondering whats the point.
79 views. 3 are me. And no one who read is interested or helpful?
Oh well, I guess no one out there cares.
Update:
I think I can take a nandroid backup and morph it to a proper ROM release. Still trying to figure it out. IMG, tar, etc format issues.
Have one backup of non-user data that is Huawei branded 100%. Huawei apps plus AOSP apps.
Runs smooth.
Got another wannabe ROM, Tor integrated as system app. All data is proxied around the world. All ad networks disabled through Hosts. This 'ROM' also has a bit torrent client, RDP/VNC, WiFi Scanner/Diagnostics, and 4 browsers. Also has working tether and ROOT. Primarily for my job use.
The last wannabe 'ROM' I'm working on is a completely stripped ROM. Having problems getting all the Google gone.
I could desperately use knowledgable brains.
Please reply even if you can't help. It is a LOT of work, and it looks like no one else cares... and it is too damn hard to read hundreds of half-dead threads for help.

Good Stuff!!
Looking for Custom Rom for Huawei Valiant as well. Got it cheap from MetroPCS
Please keep us updated.
Well, after a hard drive crash and a few soft bricks... I think I'll start by posting individual steps for individual programs/installations...
As a brief example:
Windowed Apps on the Free
Be rooted (I used impactor by sauric)
Use Xposed framework from here.
Xhalofloatingwindows. Install it.
Here's how to set it up
Blah
Blah
And then install this app, holoshortcut. The open source one works great to make shortcuts to existing apps that run in windowed mode.
Make sure the apps are not running when you click the windowed icon, else the original full screen app loads (force stop Browser then click the new shortcut so it loads windowed)
Running the non windowed shortcut resets the app to children until you force stop it and run it from the new icon.
There's also blah blah to make a blah blah etc.
Interested in that infos?

I'm sorry I can't offer any help im just aNOOB myself and was inquiring for a custom ROM with a custom theme (pink) possibly, and came up on ur post, I have a little trouble understanding the whole process but I'm learning and even though I can't offer any assistance to you I think your work on this project is highly un-appreciated and over-looked. You deserve a response from someone knowledgeable and as dedicated ad yourself. I have a Huawei Valiant and I rooted with the same method was excited to install a custom ROM but as you noticed there isn't much to work with and unfortunately I'm not as educated in this area as you are. I hope u find some help and if so send some my way......thanks
How did you root your device? I just got my Valiant and need to root it to get all this bloat off, theme & mod it and get my audio back up to par with V4 A, which requires root.
* I just saw the answer posted above.....derp Impactor to gain root

Ok, so I've seen that some users have been able to connect this controller to devices like the Nexus 5, so I'm wondering if it's possible on the N9?
I found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDQqMH4POFQ [1] and followed the instructions.
However, the app it recommends (USB/BT JoystickCenter Free) using hasn't worked for me so far. I get to the step where I enable the touchscreen driver, and I get a message that says "Can not get access to '/dev/uinput'. Please install a Custom ROM with root rights."
I'm still at stock on this tablet, but it is rooted. Super SU is installed and working well with all other root apps.
I checked Super SU, the JoystickCenter has been granted superuser permissions in it.
Anyone have any advice on what to do? Anyone get a controller working with it?
I googled the issue and found out that some devices need a special custom kernel to enable this. Are any of the existing custom kernels set up for controller support?
I'd love to pull this off, because I just got KOTOR for Android and would love to use a controller with it.
Any help would be appreciated
Same here.
Flashing a custom kernel might help. I guess you need a kernel that provides the /dev/uinput device.
"uinput is a linux kernel module that allows to handle the input subsystem from user land. It can be used to create and to handle input devices from an application. "
I've got the same problem on my Oneplus One, the controller is recognized but I can't switch on the J>T option wich is vital to make the controller work...
Anyone has a solution ?
Did you see the FAQ page for the app:
https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/pokes-android-apps/sME_vV9pPcE
No specific tips for N9, but several general purpose tips. As you pointed out, the main cause of failure is a kernel without device support.
On the YouTube vid you linked, someone posted in the comments that setting SELinux to Permissive helped him out.
I was gonna try this out, but the app has been pulled from the store. If it gets reinstated, I'll try it with the custom Rom I'm running (Dirty Unicorns 9.2 test build, LP5.1)

Hey, can one of you guys post the apk for the free version of the app. The app is no longer available on the PlayStore, and the developer doesn't have an XDA page. A Google search only brings up suspicious warez sites.
