http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-644769.html << I got my idea from there.
If you update the
Code:
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
file so that "install_non_market_apps" = 1 instead of 0, you will be able to install non-market apps off of your sdcard or wherever.
This works for me at least, but you'll have to root first.
I ended up editing the file with the SQLite Manager firefox add-on.
But, since that took me a really long time, I'll just upload the edited settings.db for you. (don't forget to make the extention .db instead of .db.txt)
Now, as far as I know, this won't mess anything up... BUT, I'd feel a lot better if someone who knows more about Android would provide some feedback before anyone else tries this. [It works for me, but I'm not sure if any other user-specific settings are kept in that file that I don't know about!]
But, at least for me, I no longer need to use adb to install apks that aren't from the Android Market.
I hope this is useful to someone...
EDIT::
You will lose your settings if you use the attached settings.db.txt file. Your best bet is to pull the file off your phone, edit it with something that understands sqlite3's database format, and then push it back. It's just better that way.
Further EDIT:: As someone pointed out later in this thread, this file unbeknownst to me when I shared it, actually has a unique ID by which phones can be identified on the android market, etc. While this isn't a huge deal, it can lead to some rather strange behavior... my phone for example has started attempting to download apps from the android market all by itself.
So--- if you want to side-load apps, change the variable in the database like I explained above.
Sorry, completely new to android but where would you put this file so it would allow side-loading?
You'd have to replace
Code:
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
with it. You'll have to have your phone rooted first though. Then you'll have to transfer the file to your phone with adb, and you'll then copy it over the existing settings.db file.
Honestly, it might not even be worth the trouble now that attn1 is just doing the whole ROMs.
But make sure you take off the .txt.
This works. Thanks.

did you boot the phone and do adb remount with debugging enabled?
USB debugging? Yeah.
What i did was i used the other method to sideload root explorer, took the settings.db.txt, deleted the .txt part and replaced it via root explorer, and now i can sideload whenever...however, when i try to delete any of the att bloatware, its read only o_o fawking att
Can anyone confirm any other way to remove bloatware without flashing the rom?

The only issue I see (as an Android newcomer, but with a development background) is that the settings.db contains an android_id that is supposed to be unique (it gets generated when you boot the phone the first time after a reset). So anyone installing your settings.db is going to have the same ID.
I'm sure it won't be an issue for most people but I wonder if there'd be a collision in any apps that are designed to communicate between Android devices? For this reason I'll be tweaking my own settings.db once the phone arrives later today.
Big thanks for posting this though!
Thanks for that, I honestly had no idea. I'm very new to Android. And this was a kludge.

NOTE: You MUST have root access in order for this to work
sqlite3 is included in the Android SDK tools, so this would be the best way:
COMMON
Enable USB debugging (settings > applications > development > USB Debugging)
adb remount
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
Linux/OS X
echo "update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';"|./sqlite3 settings.db
WINDOWS
echo update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3 settings.db
COMMON
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Reboot phone and sideloading works. (thanks fluffyarmada)

It is possible. The Google apps all use the android_id, afaik.
Although, I do remember I was never able to get the settings menu to setup the voicemail forwarding... I always had to use the weird GSM code. (The weird number with a bunch of * and # that you have to type in if you follow google's directions.)

After you've rooted your phone, download the new settings.db into the same folder as where your adb program is. Then type:
adb push /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
in that folder while your phone is connect via usb.
I'm not sure if you have to restart your phone into recovery or not. Can someone check on this?

Well, it's
Code:
$ adb push /path/to/file/on/computer/settings.db /path/to/file/on/phone/settings.db
So, if your settings.db is in your tools folder, then you can do
Code:
$ adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Please follow the instructions posted by attn1 on reply number 13 to this thread.
I removed the settings.db, because it actually has a bunch of extra settings I didn't know about like a handset specific android_id variable... that caused me a bit of trouble...
But, follow the instructions on reply #13 on this thread, and you'll be able to fix it yourself.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
so if we already used the file, is there anyway to revert it back to default and then change the settings via the method outlined above? or.. if we failed to make a copy of our original settings.db file.. basically am i SOL?
EDIT: nevermind, just rebooted into Clockwork and wiped the phone.
****** WARNING do a nandroid backup before doing this in case anything goes wrong, NOTE!! if your already signed into the market this requires doing a Factory data reset before changes will be affected, so backup your data and apps before you do this... ******
note!! this process is much easier doing on a clean rom install, you just push the eri.xml file, and make the changes to the build.prop file and reboot your phone so the settings will stick.
How to change the sprint tab in the Market back to downloads in CM6.
create an eri.xml file by copying and pasting this into a text file
Code:
<EriFile VersionNumber="1357" NumberOfEriEntries="1" EriFileType="1">
<CallPromptId Id="0" CallPromptText="CallPromptId0"/>
<CallPromptId Id="1" CallPromptText="CallPromptId1"/>
<CallPromptId Id="2" CallPromptText="CallPromptId2"/>
<EriInfo RoamingIndicator="128" IconIndex="1" IconMode="0" EriText="Appalachian" CallPromptId="0" AlertId="0"/>
</EriFile>
replace Appalachian with your carrier id, save the file as eri.xml, and place it in the android-sdk/tools directory.
connect your phone to your pc, open a cmd prompt, cd into the android-sdk/tools dir.
run
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop
open the build.prop file located in the android-sdk/tools directory with notepad++ or wordpad
scroll down to the line
Code:
ro.product.brand=sprint
replace "sprint" with your carrier id
next scroll down to
Code:
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-sprint-us
replace "sprint" with your carrier id save the file.
open the cmd prompt cd into the android-sdk/tools directory
and push the build.prop file to your phone with
Code:
adb remount
enter
Code:
adb push build.prop /system
enter
restart your phone with
Code:
adb reboot
reset your phone to factory defaults by going to menu/Settings/Privacy/Factory data reset, after your phone resets, and boots back up, now push the eri.xml file we made earlier by conecting you phone to your pc, opening a cmd prompt, cd into the android-sdk/tools directory
and run
Code:
adb remount
enter
Code:
adb push eri.xml /data
enter
reboot your phone again last time i promise with
Code:
adb reboot
enter.
when your phone boots back up your correct carrier id will be displayed and when you sign back into the market it will be back to normal.
+1, very nice.

i just left those entries alone, not positive but I'm guessing they are generic, because they are also present in all stock non-sprint 2.1 rom builds that I've seen.

wow really?? that seems odd certainly there has to be other carrier identifiers for those carriers
o well. thanks for the info!
im going to try and comment them out to see if makes any difference
ok so i changed:
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha to my carrier id. had no effect as best i can tell.
i did not change the ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric entry.
edit:
on a side note the other changes you suggested also seem to have had no effect. my market still shows a sprint tab. also now it seems that clearing the app data doesn't fix it anymore either..... this is really starting to irritate me.
Thanks works perfectly. Even though I never had to change Appalachian..lol. Nice work.
Hello. I'm on Alltel with an HTC Hero using the CM 6.1 RC1.
This worked fine for removing the general branding but it did nothing for the Marketplace Sprint tab itself.

I've found that, for the Tabs fix to stick, I have to go back and repeat the process after flashing a new ROM and signing into the Market.
I've used this for a long time. Always works great! A build or 2 back, my downloads tab in market changed back to sprint. I still have my regional carrier showing on my lock screen and notifications pull down. Is there a way to get the my downloads back without having to do the hard reset? Thanks.

Probably so he didn't get flamed for not searching.
Sprint shows up as a market tab for me now too after editing build prop. I am a Sprint user so it's not that annoying, but I would like to have the MyApps tab back.
I never said I used 6 anymore. I've flipped between AOSP and the CM nightlys for awhile. Right now I'm on #125. Like I said, I've used this process for awhile. I keep it bookmarked. I like having MY carrier show and my downloads tab in the market. Sometimes I would have to pull this page up and do as it says. Anyway, all I was trying to find out is if anyone had another way to get my downloads tab back without having to do the hard reset again. If I have to do a clean install then I will.
And yes I've searched.
I just moved over from the Captivate to the Atrix (Returned) and now am on the Inspire 4G.
*Non-Sense Version*
I hate typing in my PIN, and so here is an Email.APK Modified to ignore Exchange Security Policies, and With the Device ID changed from "Android" to "ActiveSync" to bypass corporate blocking of android devices.
Works Great on CM7 RC1.
Download the file HERE
Install with root explorer, and set permissions to RW-R--R--
or do
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount -w /system
adb push Email.apk /system/app/Email.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Email.apk

*NEW* Sense 3.0 Version
I modified the Sense 3.0 Mail.apk file so that it does not require a PIN to login to the device, while keeping all other security policies in tact.
I really hate typing in a PIN every time I login to the phone.
Installation is Simple
Download the file HERE
Either do the following from a computer with ADB:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount -w /system
adb push Mail.apk /system/app/Mail.apk
adb reboot
or replace the original file with root explorer, and set the permissions.
Enjoy.

Is this the same as the Email.apk from the Galaxy Tab? Or could it be even newer?
Nicely done. I'm also interested in what you used as a base for this. It looks just like my boss's email on his galaxy s. Looks very different than my Mail app that came on my Inspire. No biggie, just different.
Thanks! I really wish I could MOD some of these .apk's ... I'm not sure why Google has yet to implement a SELECT ALL feature for the INBOX. Luckily HTC has an EMPTY trash button....that is after you individually select one at a time to delete.
Sorry for the rant...
Good upload my man!
Here's the only flaw I've found with this...
If I want to search my Company Directory under People, it asks me to set up my Exchange ActiveSync account... doing this forces me to adhere to the security policies, even if I choose to not sync any information with my phone. Any way to work around this using your Email.apk?? Searching my company directory is just about a must-have for me.
Edit: It seems that this Email put the "Corporate" account under my Accounts & Sync instead of Exchange ActiveSync. Any way to use this Corporate acct to search my corp directory??
Any update for this to work with the Gingerbread ROMs?
I couldn't get this to work with my company's exchange. Maildroid, touchdown both work but not this nor the stock mail app. Actually, I tried this when I was running CM7. The stock CM7 email app wouldn't even communicate with my company's exchange server (just failed out). I then installed this and it did the same thing.
Now I'm running Android Rev. 3.1 and the stock email app will communicate and then ask what I wish to sync. After that it fails when it tries to finish the setup. Would this remedy the problem?
I am on AR4 BETA 2 and miui (I alternate often). This works great on both. Thanks again.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Ive been using this for a while now, but I've found that its a huge CPU hog. anyone else notice this? I may have to go back to my stock email app =(

email.apk Modification Advice
Please forgive my inexperience with Android code so I'm hoping you can provide a little direction. I own a Samsung Intercept by VM which just recently was provided with the Froyo update. I can't stand having to enter a Pin Code to activate my Corporate Account which was not necessary when I had Eclair. I decompiled the email.apk file and found a xml file named device_admin which I copied to a Word doc and attached since there was a misinterpretation that I was adding a link which I don't have the privilege to do at this time. I was curious if I could eliminate the need to enter a Pin Code if I changed "false" to "true" in the 2nd line of the device_admin file? I thought with your experience you could tell me if I was on the correct track.

Off topic but..why did you return the atrix?
There is a better way of removing Exchange Security. It involves easily modifying the existing Email.apk that is already on your ROM. This method works on Sense and AOSP, Gingerbread or Froyo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655649
It is simple. Pull Email.apk from your ROM, run an executable that modifies it in about 10 seconds, reboot into recovery, then push the .apk file back to your ROM, reboot, then setup your Exchange account. Full instructions in the above link. I've done this method on many ROMs and it works every time. Takes about 2-3 minutes.
Thanks for the direction. The only problem is the executionable file that was attached to the link you provided has been removed. Do you know another place that it could be found?
thanks

Seems the AT&T ROMs have some tether protection (entitlement check) built into them that does not exist on the Rogers ROMs. So if you are a Rogers user and have flashed an AT&T based ROM then you will need to make a change to your telephony database to be able to get tethering working.
This problem probably is not unique to Rogers and probably applies to anyone who is using an AT&T based ROM on a network other than AT&T. To apply this to a different carrier you will just need to change the APN, numeric, mcc and mnc values in step 5 to match your carrier values.
Update: Turge made a flashable zip to perform this update.
Just install the zip in recovery.
Flashable ZIP (thanks Turge):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1145125&d=1340286308
------------------------------------------------------------------
Old Instructions:
1. Use a rooted filemanager (e.g. ES File Explorer) to backup the Telephony Database (/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db) to a safe place (e.g. /sdcard/).
2. Download SQLite Installer for Root from the Market and open the app and install SQLite3
3. Open an adb shell
4. Type the following command in to open the telephony database:
su -c sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
5. This should have opened sqlite3. If it did then type the following command in to update the database:
INSERT INTO carriers (name, numeric, mcc, mnc, apn, authtype, type, insert_by, state, protocol, roaming_protocol, carrier_enabled, bearer) VALUES ("Entitlement","302720","302","720","ltemobile.apn","-1","entitle","internal","hidden","IP","IP","1","0");
6. To confirm that this has been applied you can type the following:
select * from carriers;
This should list all the carriers you have in your telephony.db and the one you just added should be at the bottom.
7. Type the following to quit sqlite3
.exit
8. Type the following to reboot your phone
reboot
When your phone reboots it will work with standard ICS/Sense tethering!
I tried to write an ADB script to do this but ran into problems with the INSERT command so I just wrote some instructions instead.
Someone more skilled at scripting could probably build an ADB script pretty easily I am sure.

Yeah the other method is carrier agnostic/universal but it needs to be updated for each new AT&T RUU.
Using the method in this thread you could create a flash file for each carrier and that flash file should be usable on any new AT&T RUU.
The method in this thread seems safer too because you are just modifying a few rows in a database instead of replacing functionality/executable code (which I think is what the other mod does).
In fact ROM creators could insert Entitlement rows for all the common carriers in the Telephony.db and we wouldn't need to worry about any of these mods.
I just flashed it and tried to run a wifi-hotspot and it doesn't seem to work.
I do get a different message now saying that if I want this to work, I should call someone from att or dial 611.

That is odd...hmm.
With the ADB method did step 6 (select * from carriers) show the new line that you added?
Also are you in Canada on the Rogers network? This is only for Rogers.
Edit: If you are both on HSPA+ and not LTE then maybe that has something to do with it. The APN that I used was for LTE. You could try replacing ltemobile.apn in the instructions above with rogers-core-appl1.apn.
I would do revert to the backup of your telephony.db first before I tried this though as I am not sure what happens if you have more than one Entitlement APN for a carrier. It probably just uses the first one in the list which would mean adding rogers-core-appl1.apn would have no impact.

Hope this is the right sub forum. Otherwise please move this thread.
Anyways.
I installed a Custom Firmware (Treskmod by OmniRom). With this firmware my Phone Model changed from GM1913 to GM1917. Usually this isn't that big of a deal. I would go to play.google.com and hide the older one.
But this time it doesn't work. If I uncheck one of my OnePlus, it automatically unchecks the other OnePlus. Same if I set the checkmark.
Then I tried to edit the build.prop with Magisk, which didn't change the model number in settings. Lastly I pulled all the build.props I could find via adb, changed them and pushed them back. This changed the model number in settings but didn't change anything in my Google Account. (btw. saved it with chmod 755 is this right?)
Now I don't know what to do anymore. I don't like to see the wrong phones in my settings and can't properly use my Google Home to find my device.
Is there a way to change this? maybe by doing a clean flash and change the props before doing the setup? or can I changed it somehow in the roms zip? but I couldn't find a working way yet to open the bin file from the roms zip. (also I am not sure if this may break the setup.. never did something like that before)
thanks
