Alright, I'm going to start off with saying that what this does is turn off FOTA for you by modifying data for devicemanager. How do you do it?
Well, let's begin.
12/22/11: New tweaks, FOTA checkin timer = 0 (no checks anymore), Build key difference, FOTA mode = disabled and a few other FOTA tweaks.
First: Download the files unzip them, and put all 3 into the TitaniumBackup folder on your sdcard (you need to download Titanium backup from market for this just FYI).
Then start titanium backup, grant root if you havent already and restore "DeviceManagerService 2.3.4" and then poof! You have now blocked OTA's. I'll actually try and make this happen in my script so new people can do it but you can tell if it worked by going into settings>about my nook>Version Number:9.9.9

FAQ
Will this stop me from buying anything from B&N?
NO! You will keep everything and the ability to buy. This does nothing to the services aside from makes a few minor SQL tweaks that affect the devices ability to OTA.
Can this break my device?
No! This process actually holds no risk. It should always work no matter what and since we caught it early on, we can prevent further updates that can fix this.
Are you awesome Indirect?
Yes, yes I am. Now enjoy all the crap I released for you guys

Thank you for your work Now, does this block any and all interaction with B&N servers (in case I(or anyone else) want to actually purchase a book or app from B&N) or just prevents receiving/installing the update? Also, will it prevent future updates or is it just coded for 1.4.1?
Completed. Thank you again . My best friend is a Nook "lead" at B&N and she is getting a kick out of our shenanigans. She actually gave it to me as an X-mas present. So thank you again for your work on the Tablet. I (we) look forward to more of your adventures in Nookdom. hehehe

So does the sqllite method not work? I used that method 2 days ago, and so far haven't received an update (knock on wood).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946969
This is the sqlite method just provides you with files to download and install...this really isn't that complicated. -.- versus having to actually modify the SQL on the device, its already done for you. Just trust it works, install, and ignore everyone *****ing about updates. Now I'm going back to bed before someone crosses me by asking a stupid question.

Thanks a lot, really appreciate this. My girlfriend is getting a NT for Christmas and I want her to handle the tinkering and guides like these will be of great help to her.
Just a couple questions. Does this work because the OTA updates check to see if you are on a lower version than what is put out (thus the 9.9.9)?
Also, just to clarify, when you said you want to put this into your script, you mean the rooting method you have posted?
Thanks again for all your work. I know B&N hasn't made this stuff easy but I personally think part of the fun is having to outsmart them

1) As I havent received notification of update yet, I don't know if they check version but it should if their recovery isnt crap however this has the FOTA check disabled so it should not even attempt to update it.
2)I meant my rooting script, yes.
Two thumbs up!!
Thanks for the hack. Once my NT was rooted, I put it to work. Now it is an excellent tool to use at work and the larger display makes life easier.
I just wanna clarify here: if we've already used the SQLite method and changed the fota value from auto to manual, there's no reason for us to use this new method, right? This is just an easier version of manually editing the file?
If so and if this actually works, isn't this confirmation that changing the fota value from auto to manual actually works? So far everyone's just keeping their fingers crossed, but if indirect is saying that that method actually does the trick- I'm inclined to believe it.
Indirect,
Although multiple people have already said it, thanks for all your work on the Nook! I now no longer have to worry about leaving WiFi on and having all of the work I've done since I got this thing undone!
Of course, B&N will come up with a way around this for their next update, but at least we're safe for now.

It's not just the FOTA edit, it changes a few things that OTA's typically check before no matter what. I just suggest you do this incase.
Okay in that case, glad I asked. I won't be able to try this for a few days but believe me the second I'm able- I will be doing this (and keeping my fingers crossed). Thanks again indirect and everyone else who's contributed info on this subject.

There was incidence of a person doing only the FOTAkill.apk yesterday that ended up receiving the update and lost root. He went through a long process of hard factory reset, rerooting, etc.
Not sure what happend. Titanium backup says devicemanagerservice 2.3.4 has been updated, a bunch of aps in the restore section of titanium backup have 2.3.4 next to them, but my software version still says 1.4.0?

VERSION 1.0.1 WITH BUGFIXES:
Some people have had some trouble with the previous version of this app, so I have made some fixes. I'm pretty sure that if any of the problems that have been reported recur, it's because of the way VooDoo deals with disabling itself.
The link below is now to the current version.
Thanks again for everyone's patience and support!
Hi all.
I've just created my first Android app, and I hope the folks here might find it useful.
It has two functions:
1) it detects the presence or absence of the /sdcard/voodoo directory (and thus the presence or absence of Voodoo), and allows the user to toggle Voodoo on or off.
2) it allows the user to reboot, either a normal reboot or a reboot to recovery with a single button press.
Naturally, it requires root access.
I've found this is a pretty easy way to switch Voodoo on and off when flashing ROMs, kernels, and all that stuff.
I know there is something similar on the Market, but I wanted to make my own as a learning experience, and I also wanted a "Reboot to Recovery" button.
This one is also free, and the source is available on github (I'm sure my code sucks, but I honestly don't know why. If someone were to feel like explaining it to me, I'd sure appreciate it! ).
The usual installation procedures apply:
Method 1:
Download the file below to a location on your local computer in your $PATH and type:
adb install RebootButton.apk
Method 2:
Drop the file below to a location on your SD card and navigate to it using Astro, Root Explorer or another file manager (these are the two I use). In Astro, click on the file, then select "App Manager" then "Install"
In Root Explorer, select the file, then select "Install".
That's it.
Here it is:
http://www.zennmaster.com/Android/RebootButton.apk
I'll be sending this to the Market as soon as I can whip up an icon.
Suggestions and feedback are more than welcome!
I wish to sincerely thank all those very smart folks, around here and on IRC, for all the inspiration they didn't even know they were giving me, as well as all the cool toys that created the need for this app in the first place!
The application and the source code are both hereby released under the GPL.

The App won't uninstall Voodoo completely, it just creates and removes the correctly named file from the appropriate directory.

So basically it just adds the disable_lagfix file in sdcard/voodoo folder?
Still someone will benefit from that.
So in practice hitting the voodoo off creates the file and places it on sdcard and reboot obviously reboots, wait 10 minutes and voila
Still thats two clicks and done, a nice move for the lazy or the ignorant not meant to be disrespectful, ignorant simple means lacking knowledge
Just installed but haven't used it yet.
Quick question (since i'm still new to all of this.) When rooting and installing lag fix on my SF a couple days ago, the instructions I followed did not include making a nandroid backup. If I use the app to disable lag fix, can I create a nandroid backup and then re-enable lag fix using the app?

AFAIK, the Voodoo kernels we know and love can only disable the lagfix by looking for that file.

Exactly.
To be honest, I think a lot of the trouble people around here have been having with disabling the lagfix has been with what essentially amounts to typos. Getting the file name wrong, or putting it in the wrong place will only lead to frustration and Voodoo enabled. Automating the process takes out a lot of opportunity for error. At the very least, like you say, two clicks and done is a lot less work.

The lit up buttons with no screen, and it doesn't reboot completely. Then I have to Odin a few times and redo the clean update quite a few times, get all the force closes, redo it all again, then it finally, magically, works. Those gremlins get me sometimes. Again, thanks for all this, I'll test it when my patience comes back and let you know.
This is useful. Thank you.
Hey Saps, a little off-topic I know but...where did you get the circle battery mod? I'm running bubby's Magic ASOP and I really like the black mod. I installed what was supposed to be just the circle mod from one of the themes but it gave me the whole theme. I like how yours apparently shows the "red,yellow,green" based on charge. How do I apply just that mod without changing bubby's black mods?
If you have any questions that may be development related please post them in here instead of making a new thread. Hopefully others will try to answer your question to the best of your abilities. Plus it saves me from moving a few hundred threads a day

This question was asked earlier in the "Nook Color - General" section but to no avail.
Is there anyway to permanently fix the stock soft notification/menu bar??
Essentially that would eliminate the need for an additional softkey app. That paired with Zeam seems so much more elegant to me.
Any help or suggestions in the matter would be much, MUCH appreciated.
here's my question. has anyone worked on a way to get to the bluetooth settings?
according to this [granted, may not be reputable source] the ability is there, just not in the software.
With so many apps able to capitalize off of bluetooth in android phones, I have to think that bluetooth capability would be huge on the NC, especially given people's distaste for virtual keys.
Just a thought.
Just to answer to the source. The processor itself is already known to support Bluetooth, so that part is tre, it IS there. But no, we haven't gotten far enough to actually turn it on. Soon though
Finally I found the solution. Deleted
Dual booting with wince from a microsd card will be great achievement.
[Question] Pull and Push wallpaper ?
I asked this question earlier but never got any replies.
Is there any way to pull a stock wallaper off the NC and then push it back to the NC ? I want to try and replace a few of the stock wallpapers with my own, but I want them to be in the actual (hidden) system folder were they (B&N) put the stock wallpapers that come with the NC. ./system/media/wallpapers
I am not a coder but I think it could be done.... any one ?
Thanks
I don't know why you'd want to, but I just tried the following and it worked:
adb shell
# mount -o remount rw /system
# exit
adb push whateverimage.png /system/media/wallpapers
adb reboot
That's all it takes -- trivial if you know how to use adb. If you don't, well....

I had the same problem and fixed it by simply rebooting my computer.
Edit, as of October 3, I'd suggest holding off on the 3.1.6 Market update. Could be fishy. It's signed differently than Google does. Mine below are fine.
EDIT: The new market is cool and all, but I have noticed that if I have multiple google accounts, it switches back and forth... which is REALLY annoying. If you notice issues, go to menu > accounts and make sure your primary is selected. Other than this, it is great.
EDIT 2: there is now a 3.1.5 - the bug mentioned above still exists
DOWNLOAD LINK FOR 3.1.5
If you had 3.1.3, it may just auto-update for you.
---------- below is older information for 3.1.3 --------------
You can thank @MastaTM (XDA: Official_Master) for the new Market (3.1.3)
http://www.multiupload.com/41FQ6PQ3MS
The below is litterally pasted from androidpolice (again, they are on point). I bolded what is new.
Wow, Google is on a roll with the Android Market lately. Since the release of Market v3.0, a number of small updates have come to the Android Market recently, but this is by far the biggest yet. Google has added the long-awaited +1 functionality to the Android Market (which has been on the web version of the Market for quite some time), along with a few other goodies.
There's a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately).
There are also 2 brand-new Market icons to spruce things up a bit (within the Market itself - unfortunately, the app drawer icon is still the same).
For convenience's sake, the size in megabytes of each app, along with its latest update date, have been moved from the bottom of descriptions to the top of individual app pages, which is a very useful change in our book.
Moving on to the thumbnail navigator, Google added a long-overdue sliding transition - a nice touch that makes the Market feel more polished.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use an optional custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have - and really, it makes a lot of sense.
You'll need Unknown Sources enabled in the Settings -> Applications menu to install it.

thank you, this new is better ;D
2.xx is better. 3.xx is too slow and laggy
Someone in the General apps forum uploaded what they claim is version 3.1.6. I pushed it into system/app and over wrote vending.apk but I still have version 3.1.5. Others are reporting success, though. Saying it looks a little more polished.
Edit: Removed link due to suspicious nature of this "update". Search it out and install it on your own, but I've restored my nandroid backup and am done with it until more is known about it.
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
Ok For a couple months now Ive been getting a very annoying nag everytime I download a new app from the play store. Basically I click download and I get a pup up nag that says "enjoy your app, if you ever forget your password we can restore your access...blah blah.tell us how we can contact you" or something to that effect. I don't want them to contact me and I'm not going to forget my password..I just want to turn the nag off......Ive checked the settings and I haven't found a way to do it. Ive also searched here and all over the web and cant seem to find anything.
Any help?

Can you take a screen shot of it please, I've never seen that before.
I second what @mjones73 said... I haven't gotten that ever, grab a screen shot so we can take a look at it.
A little preliminary stuff, have you ran Addons Detector to see if there is some push stuff going on?

I cant get a screen shot, I accidentally hit continue on it and then cancelled it....if I do that it goes away for a little while but comes back. As for the addons detectors no I havent I can try but this has been happening on multiple ROMs and I just reflashed the phone.

And what happens when you hit continue? It believe it's just asking you to add additional verification options to your google account.

Why? You should have verification setup even if you have it toggled off in your Google account settings. I believe this is also information needed to do a password reset if needed, so it's actually kind of important.

loki,
Am getting the screen once in a while. Like you, I do not intend to provide google/gmail with my phone number voluntarily as well. In my case, when I got the screen, I went to the settings and killed play store(Force Stop). That screen disappeared when I installed a new app using play store App again.

Hello.
I also have this all the time i update or install a new application using the play store. I dont think you can turn this off unless you give google what it wants.
I personally say "F**k you google you piece of sh*t, i aint givin you nothing" and hit the back button every time.

I finally gave in and did it and it went away. Pretty sure google already has my phone number anyways. Still kind of messed up though considering all of the hacking and data spills happening lately...I don't totally feel comfortable giving ANYONE my info lately.
In my case, I log into the gmail account associated with the phone on a Desktop using browser. My guess is that google wants to make sure that the primary account associated with the phone is active. Still it sucks that everything considered personal are now targeted information for Corporates like Google.

of course they have all this information, the point here is with your approval they legitimize it; they come clean. in practice but unfortunately none of it matters.
google is a disgrace and it blemished "open source".
I have to agree, yet another data-mining ploy by Google.
Anyway, I seem to have (at least temporarily) stopped this notification by hitting continue, then deleting the pre-filled phone number and then backing out of the recovery options screen.
We'll see if it comes back. I too have no interest in giving out more personal information than is absolutely necessary to make my phone work.
If you like me, you have a rooted Galaxy Mega, and just want less bloatware, better battery, and extra 100-200MB of free RAM, want to keep your stock ROM and not deal with instaling a custom one, those are 120 elements you can safely freeze with Titanium Backup if you dont use any of them offcourse, and be sure your phone will work just fine but snappier... when i restart my Mega, and clear the RAM after everything loads, my used RAM is 320MB/1.32GB
Here is a screenshot list:

ya, just freeze, dont delete, is diferend, you can freeze all that and then delete titanium backup, itll stay frozen unless you install TB back and unfreeze it. try it, guarantee it wont brick your phone. been doin it with all my phones, check my profile see how many of those guides i made thru the years with all my diferend phones lol
Thanks!!! It seems much faster.

is the same thing, but half of those things arent allowed to be turned off from the apo manager..
If you are rooted, buy Titanium Backup if you havent already, the best purchase you can make if u own android phones, as before you freese/delete anything, you can simply back the ROM up, and if something isnt working just restore.
also as i found out, when i was on T-Mobile bloated ROM, some of T-Mo branded bloatware was turning back on by itself on phone restart after turning it off from the app manager...
a lot of those elwments are safe to DELETE with TB... ATT or T-Mo software and Samsung bloatware are some of those...
rest i recomend just leave frozen..
lmk if u guys need any other info.. i have been into the extreme with some of my ROMs i had one debloated was running perfectly normal with what i need only on 32 elements haha, i think is one of the Threats i made named "Extreme Bloatware Remowal" if u look at my profile..

I deleted a handful, rhapsody, tmo junk and things like trip visor (or whatever it's called). The rest I froze... One day I will back up how it is and try deleting things bit by bit.
I did not freeze a few things you posted because I actually need them. For ex : text to speech, resource manager and tags, to name handful.
I am sure the email client uses a ton but I have not seen anything that is as good, shame. k9 is ok but needs constant sync.
I also froze a few things you did not.
Thanks for the guide.

Aye.. first and foremost, you gota make sure you only freese what you WONT use offcourse... i dont use any fints lets say, i freese em all, dont want em to load on device startup and take RAM.. same with Wallpapers or Widgets.. i dont use any, i freeze em all...
And about the bricking.. i gue the phone needs some of the elements to be present on restart to boot... even it the are frozen/turned off is diferend that just been deleted...
Not every Android phone is like that tho, i had phone i delete everything just leave 35 elements and is working fine... not the Mega i guess..
Amazing.. Really good looking. But i want to know how it's possible to safely freeze with 120 elements Titanium Backup..
