I'm upgrading and looking to give my phone to my kid to replace his turd ipod that took a crap after 3 months after being replaced under warranty. I basically want it to have the play store and wifi no phone capabilities or messaging. Basically a galaxy player. Amy help would be greatly appreciated. I'm rooted with soff currently running viper rom.

I did the same thing for my son. I just flashed a Stock rooted Rom and uninstalled any app that gave him access to recovery and removed Titanium Backup. He's happy as can be. He uses Text Plus or something like that I bought to allow him to txt over wifi. That's all I did

Maybe you could PM an active dev and ask them what apps/system files you could safely and easily delete? You basically want the phone in airplane mode all the time.... So remove the phone app and not make the phone search for signal right??
I know there's a ROM or two in the OG Evo development section that serve this exact purpose....
Sorry I couldn't be of more help

I think sense 5 has a "kid" mode, but I don't know it it was removed, then use Titanium and freeze the phone and mms, and turn on airplane mode, use a custom launcher to hide apps... Can't think of anything else... Remember that bluetooth doesn't work on sense 5...

OK
So there's a post in Evo 4G Android Development by frickinjerms about his ROM that was made for inactive devices
He says he removed RIL libs and bin files to prevent the phone from knowing what to do with the radios. He also removed dialer, contacts, messaging, calendar, email, etc
He did a lot more too I'm sure but that's a quick easy rundown...
Thank you, I'll have to check that out.

Just keep in mind that if you remove Phone/mms apk then they will not be able to use those features in a app like Text Plus that allows them to send receive texts and free phone calls.

After the latest update of Google Wallet, I get that error on both my EVO LTE and my Nexus 7.
Both are rooted, but Wallet ran, at least on my EVO LTE, before the update.
I have tried uninstalling, but I get the same error. I've tried temporarily un-rooting, but I get the same error. I've tried re-installing the update. I've cleared both cache and data.
I've even tried using search in this xda app, but it doesn't even find the word Wallet.
Two days ago Wallet decided to run on my Nexus, but today it says "no".
As I am having this same error on both devices, I can infer it has nothing to do with Sprint. Since Wallet ran previously on my rooted device, I can assume it has nothing to do with that either.
Also, since my Nexus and EVO LTE are not related, there must be others having this issue.
Has anyone heard about this?

On Nexus 7
Owner: read write checked.
Group: read checked
Other: read checked.
Everything else un-checked.
On the EVO LTE:
The apk is called "walletnfcrel-1.1-R57-v5-prod-20120405-relkeys.apk.
Permissions show rw-r-r-
Owner is listed as root.
Btw, back at home, Wallet opens on the Nexus again. Wtf? When I started this thread, I was at Starbucks, someplace where I could have actually had a use for Wallet.
Still no go on the EVO though.

I finally got tired of it. I really wanted wallet to work, and since switching to MeanROM ICS it's worked perfectly. Did you try editing the build prop file to the model number of another device?

With the newest software from the OTA wallet is fixed guys.
If your rooted, don't take the OTA, flash a rom with it baked in

So no way to get it working on the EVO LTE other than flashing a different Rom? Great.
I'm sure this Wallet thing will really take off if the typical consumer has to do that. I hate Apple, but I can't see this ever happening on that platform.
I tried editing my build.prop to:

Well.. The latest update that the "typical consumer" would be using has a Wallet fix, so they wouldn't even have to think of rooting their phone.
I see.
So even though Wallet ran on my rooted EVO LTE with stock room before, I now have to either un root and update, change to a different Rom, or simply forget about Wallet.
So weird. Thanks though.

You need to fix your build.prop. You obviously did a gameloft mod or something similar. You need to restore your build.prop backup or get the proper settings installed. The problem you are describing is caused by the wrong phone in the build.prop.

Obviously those aren't the correct settings.
The correct settings didn't work in the first place (ro.product.model=EVO, ro.product.device=htc_jewel). That's why I edited it.
I got that from another long thread thread.
I thought the point was to trick Wallet into thinking it was a different device?
I did not do any other mods besides root the phone. It's not even unlocked.
I'm so lost!

That happened to me at some point. Try setting your roaming option to Sprint Only, then toggling Network Mode to CDMA only then back to LTE/CDMA. That fixed it for me. Hope this helps.

After this process hit the symbol for menu on screen near the top right corner. This will do a restore, this is where it gets tricky. Because, presumably, your data profile is missing an active profile. This is an issue.

From there, your phone will do a hands free activation, if this fails, go to your dialer, hit ##3282#, go to edit mode, enter msl, go to first menu data / data profile tab, make sure Active profiles is set to 1 and all selections except for home address have been filled in. Back out completely to home screen. Go to settings, system updates, profile update.

So my brother just lost his phone. He had not anti theft app installed. Is there a way the phone can be tracked? I've tried plan B on the market but it didn't seem to work. The phone is rooted and unlocked if that helps. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Have him sign into play.Google.com and install a GPS tracking program. If the phone is turned on still, it'll download automatically to the phone then sign in. Cerberus is THE best program for this.
Incorrect password entries result in a picture of the person trying to unlock it being taken and emailed to an address of choice - silently.
You can set off an alarm that is unable to be turned off.
Locate the phone from Cerberus's web page.
Good luck.

I feel for him. 3wks after I got my launch day Evo, it WS lost/stolen,and I had just switched my insurance over to best buy insurance (which doesn't cover lost/stolen, but asurion did). I tried everything on earth/Google. Even plan B, from the online market, which is designed for that exact purpose, and none of it worked.
Ended up having to replace it
at full cost for 600$.

There's also an app called "Plan B". Worth looking into.
He stated that he already tried 'plan b'.
Have him try Android lost. It's free and has the ability to install and activate after the phone is already gone / lost / stolen, which sounds like your case.

HTC has built in tracking
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Don't mean to go negative here, but if it is lost its gone till he finds it because by now the battery is dead. If it was stolen or found like others have said, the Google account is probably already changed. The only hope if it still has battery is the Sprint family locator since I believe it uses ESN or phone number to track not Google account.

Are you referring to the DNA Android Development and DNA Original Android development boards? The first one (loosely speaking) is more for kangs, and roms that are based off of stock, as well as roms that are based off of other people's work (i.e. not fully original work). The original development board is geared towards roms built from source (i.e. AOSP roms), as well as development that introduce original features.

This is false. I recommend using Moonshine to root and unlock your device on the latest update.

Agreed.
I intentionally moved from the gnex to the DNA, as I had a coupon to get it for free and I felt the deal couldn't be beat.
After a slow start (as s-off wasn't available yet) when I first got it, I am now absolutely thrilled with it and couldn't be happier.
Performance is so much better than the Gnex, it's ridiculous.
