Better way by RWNube:
Here is what should work:
Open Root Explorer, browse to /system, mount R/W, long press build.prop, and select Open in Text Editor.
Find the line:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/SCH-I510/SCH-I510:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/EP4:user/release-keys
Change this line to whatever the new ROM's equivelent build.prop's line is. I suspect that just "EP4" needs to be changed to "FP1".
Save the changes to the build.prop file.
Restart twice or more. I had to restart 3 times to get data back.
Verified this is working!
EDIT: It's some how working for me, but didn't work for most people. Here is the working method to fix OTA notification:

If you don't want the ota right now and sick of the popup do this to fix it....go to system/etc/security and rename the otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak it shouldn't ask you to dl the update anymore until u rename it back without the .bak

I tried this and it keeps saying "Operation Failed." I know that I have root access and have never had problems renaming system files with the File Manager app that I am using. Could it be that the update notification is currently active in the status bar? Any help is appreciated. I want to wait until Eclipse 2.0 comes out and am getting annoyed by the system update notification.
EDIT: I was able to get the file name changed. I recently restored my phone and it lost my File Manager's settings. I just had to go in and allow the FM app root access. But for some reason I am still getting the update notification. Any ideas?
Same here, made the change still getting update notification.
It still notifies you but the window doesn't pop up anymore with this fix, and if it's still popping up delete the update in the cache using root explorer

Tried installing this as well and still no luck. I'm not sure if me being on eclipse 1.4 w/ pbj makes a difference, bit I will try editing build.prop to see if that works. Thanks anyway!
UPDATE: Modifying the build.prop file seems to have worked! I will update if anything changes.

Absolute System Tools has a nice build.prop editor.
For those trying to modify build.prop and don't want to buy Root Explorer, use Root Browser Lite (free) from the market. It has root privileges (assuming you're rooted on your phone) and has a built in text editor for changing the build.prop file.
I changed my build.prop file this morning and only had to reboot once. Everything worked upon reboot and so far no update pop up!
I'm running Eclipse 1.4 with PBJ kernel.

Worked like a charm, everything worked after first reboot as well. Haven't received another notification.
This method worked for me as well. I restarted, had no data, turned data off, then back on, and all is good. So far, no more notifications. I'm running eclipse and pbj.
Where is the update?
Got the notification.. Where is the thing at? A .zip file?
Where is it stored at? I looked on both my Charges in cache directory (there are several) can't seemed to find the update file or what looks like one. Anybody know filename and directory it is stored in.. Would like to delete it..
Thanks

Current issues/bugs so far with the "leaked" froyo for Captivate:
1.Stock internet browser is very laggy, it is confirmed that there is a memory leak not related to Flash
2.GPS still sucks for some
3.Silent mode does not silent notifactions
4.Cannot download attachments in Gmail
5.Cannot delete multiple e-mails
6.Under Exchange e-mail
1.Cannot download attachments
2.Forwarding an e-mail deletes your message and only send original message
3.Cannot scroll through folders, bounces back
4.cannot forward if there is an attachment in the original e-mail
5.The good news, to fix exchange e-mail, follow this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8453938&postcount=99
6.Note doing the above fix will eliminate the ability to move the e-mail from one folder to nother
7.MMS does not work, cannot receive pictures
8.If you select a contact from a group, it shows a different person, works on gmail and exchange accounts
9.Market does not show protected paid apps, however to fix market apps, follow this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=102
10.Contacts do not always import correctly (joins some and not others)
11.Cannot hear a call over the aux port, must use bluetooth or speaker
12.Force Close when changing fonts
13.3G is slower for some?
14. PHONE CAN'T UNLOCK! - That pisses me off! This should be priority number one for the DEVS : )
15. My browser sees to restrict the file types I want too download. I can't download cognition Roms and some other file types to my phone. Anyone else?

I don't have that issue. Don't tell me you restored things with Titanium Backup...
I think your is an isolated incident. I personally do not have that problem.. Maybe you deleted something by accident?
How did you install Froyo? Did you do a clean flash or did you flash over something else?
I odin 1-clicked back to jh6... then master cleared... formatted SD.. then flashed froyo and I'm not having any problems at all
I don't have that problem either

I also don't have this issue... I was able to set my ringtone with no problem. So far, I've had no issues with this rom at all aside from the minor lag problems here and there, which obviously is a common problem thanks to Twiz...
Didn't restore using TIBU
Hmmm.
I must have deleted something when removing ATT Bloatware..is there a list of the exact APK's for the Bloatware I can bounce off?
FIXED.. Do not delete MEDIAPROVIDER.apk
That was my mistake.
I can set my final ringtone to anything, but individual ringtones are limited to 300kb? Wtf!

I think that spelling will be fixed in future versions. I suspect this is left over from the European SGS 9000 build.

Is ClockworkMod/Rom Manager even usable under this build of Froyo? I have Rom Manager installed, but if I try to boot into Clockwork Recovery I get errors. I was under the impression that it would have to be updated to work with the Captivate Froyo build since the built in option for Galaxy S Captivate in Rom Manager seems to be specifically for Eclair.
For the record, I'm still learning some of this stuff, but I was running Cognition 2.1.6 with the Voodoo kernel. I flashed back to stock using odin 1 click and then flashed using the Froyo Odin download. Somehow in the process I lost all of my Titanium backup data for my apps, but no biggie. I also followed the steps to root and enable sideloading.
Address book is kind of screwy. I have some pre-defined groups that I set up in GMail contacts via the web. They cam eover to the phone when Google synced, but when I click on a contact I get a different one form the one I clicked. This doesn't happen in contacts moved over to "Phone" and put into those groups.

Clockwork doesn't work on Froyo on our phones yet.
How would we backup the ROM?!
Any alternative options to backing up this ROM with Clockwork now out of commission?

You can flash the Eclair kernel with Odin, go straight from there to recovery mode and reinstall packages (provided the ClockworkMod update.zip is in place) and do a nandroid backup when you get into ClockworkMod. Then go from there back into download mode and flash the Froyo kernel. Yes, that solution is pretty stupid. But that's all I can think of.
Like the previous unreleased firmwares, JI6 suffers from missing market apps issue. The best way to demonstrate this is to search for Fandango in Market. On JH7, the link to the market page shows up, while on JI6, there is a message saying not found. I solved that issue by editing the fingerprint section in the build.prop file and replaced 2.2 with 2.1-update1, FROYO with ECLAIR and JH7 with JF6, so it reads like this:
Code:
# Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint
ro.build.description=SGH-I897-user 2.1-update1 ECLAIR UCJH7 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=Samsung/SGH-I897/SGH-I897/SGH-I897:2.1-update1/ECLAIR/UCJH7:user/release-keys
I rebooted, and Fandango (as well as other missing apps) show up again. Strangely there are apps marked for Froyo that seem to not have disappeared. Were the Froyo apps always visible with JH7? Am I missing any other apps in the market now because I am pretending to be on an Eclair firmware? The issues of editing the fingerprints before were simply a matter of changing the firmware name. Now by having edited the build version, am I creating any other unforeseen issues?
I get a fc when trying to save a image from browser, anyone else?
The only real issue that I've noticed...and It's not really anything broken...is that when I receive a call and slide the bar to answer, it always hangs when sliding the bar for a second. Like I said, nothing broken, just a little annoying.

So essentially I have angry birds seasons ad free off amazon that i got for free that one day it was free :O *lots of free*. Now im going to update that and a couple other apps and they all said Application not installed in the htc/android installer area.
Now here's the thing it's not just amazon apps that are having these issues, its market place too and installing apk's will have the same thing. Even my previously backed up version of seasons will not restore *I uninstalled it to see if it would install the new version*.
I'm going to update to das bamf 1.5 today *from 1.4* so I should be able to install the apps, but why would 90% of the apps im trying from amazon/android mrkplace not install *even if they had before*?
Note: I have over a gb of free space on the phone, sd card is like half full
Thanks

This problem usually happens when you flash a ROM AND a custom script all at once. For instance, I noticed if I flashed das BAMF remix and the desense script in one session, I was unable to install apps. I would recommend always flashing the ROM, booting all the way up with no modifications to it, then going back into recovery and flashing your mod scripts.
The ROM creators may have a better answer than I do though. Let me know if it works for you.
I didn't see the q/a section of tb forum, but yeah I dont remember installing any extra scripts. I will look out for it though when I update to the newest one.
Ok i installed das bamf 1.5 remix and I still am getting the same issue.
>_> for example angrybirds rio *from amazon* said this app is incompatible with my device *BS! It didn't say it the day it was released and it worked just fine...
android market place fails to install any angry birds.

I am having the exact same issue now after flashing tesla coil 1.7. I've gone all the way back to stock and I'm still having the same issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this?
I am going to reroot and try flashing the same ROM that caused this and see if maybe it was something wrong with the rom download.
I went back wiped and reinstalled 1.5 remix with only amazon installed and it still did not install anything. So the fw is conflicting with something.
Looking back now about 20 apps won't install same via titanium.

How do you have Amazon installed if you cannot install anything? Make sure you're actually wiping everything via clockwork.
Aside from that, try unmounting your SD card and then installing, it's helped me a couple of times when my market decided to stop downloading.

I downloaded it from their site w/o the use of android market place or amazon appstore.
Everything is wiped before install of 1.5 remix i cant get about 20 different apps to install/restore *the apk's were backed up using appmonster before root and Titanium back up after root. A backup on my desktop of both and on the sd card. No version of those ~20 apps will install *previously were installed and worked*.
*also i unmounted sd card O_O and it installed marketplace apps, now what would be conflicting on the sd card :/ to cause that. Hmm that's a temp fix, but amazon and TI are what I need to figure out.

Hi Everyone.
Im having some trouble with restoring Defender2 game data.
When i restore the game using Titanium backup or Mybackup initially it says its OK, Shows the correct stage achieved and such, but when im going to start a new stage, all data is gone, and i have to start from scratch. And that kinda sucks.
Is there some new high tech security to this app? Its the first time ive encountered this problem.
Tried with Froyo, Gingerbread and ICS. Same result.
I know there is hacks for this game, but that ruins it, and i dont wanna do that.
I couldnt find any other thread about this issue so i hope i dont doublepost.
I had the same issue. Thankfully I was only 50 stages in. Hopefully I won't have to do another wipe anytime soon.
Same issue here at lvl 145. No luck at all...
I have already tried backup/restore through Titanium Backup, MyBackup, extracting from Nandroid backup with Titanium Backup PRO, manually (copy/paste data files with rootexplorer) but nothing worked...
I would really appreciate if someone could help.
Oh, btw I have the same issue with Fish Predator and Battleloot Adventures.
Same problem here, at lvl 205, im really curios about this topic, i hope someone will help us, until that day i stopped playing defender 2. I cant start from the beginning

Same here!
I was at level 79 on stage 550...
I played only 20 days I was at level 70. I can not find the solution.
Same here.. I went from CM9 to a 'stock' ATT rom for my Galaxy S2 and have the same problem.
Ive tried using my old save file and changing the device id to the new one, but everytime I start it does the same thing. Shows me the current level/battle but when I hit the start button, Im back at level 1 with all my stats reset.
Been trying to get this working for two days now but theres nothing left I can think of to try.
Still works if I restore my nandroid of CM9 but I really wanted to use this new rom!! This is literally the only game I have that has this problem all because of some stupid device id code. Every other game I have all the data is in place and work just fine..
Has anyone figured out yet how to properly restore your save/game data with defender 2? I've tried Mybackuppro, Spritebackup and some other backup apps but I keep starting off at lvl 1.
Anyone has a solution/suggestion for this?
Thx in advance,
Frank
Anyone have any luck with this? I am having to send my phone in for repaid and have saved the Droidhen folder.
Does this mean it wont restore my level?
It's going to be awful to start all over again.
I have seen the latest tit.backup can save and/or modify the android id... maybe we can use this option to restore the old id,then restore the backup..
At the moment the game is not instaled on my phone, so it could be great if anyone would test it

Use your favorite root explorer (I used ES File Explorer).
Then go to : /data/data/com.droidhen.defender2/shared_prefs.
Copy file save3.xml and save it to another directory for backup.

I came from gb235 to gb236 then to ICS4 and have no problem using that procedure. The device id you're mentioning has no significance. Nor what defender2 version your in. If you just save the file save3.xml without trying to change any settings thru text editor, it will work. Do not try to change your setting cause it will definitely reset back to Lvl-1. I always have problem when I mess with that stuff. If you still have the ORIGINAL (save3.xml) there is still a way to go back where you left off to the game. Follow these procedure: Assuming you have saved a clean file... Simply go to the complete motion of going back to lvl-1 and finished the tutorial stage and totally complete stage 1. Then you exit the game totally. Go to your setting/application/defender2. Clear cache. Then you retrieve the save3.xml and replace the file on shared_prefs folder. Go back to the game and check. If you are still on lvl 1 then you need to clear data and clear cache again...going to the tutorial again and so on...

Why can't I find this folder path? nothing for droid hen under the Data folder.
I want to back up Fish Predator saved game data and put it on my replacement Nexus 7. The current one I have has screen lifting issue.
phone must be rooted.
Update - Here is what I did.
- My phone is rooted. This is the only way this method works.
- I downloaded an app from Google Play called "Root Browser" (free version works fine). Root Browser is a file manager and text editor for rooted phones.
- I installed Root Browser on the old phone (that has the Defender 2 files) and also the new phone (that I wanted to "restore" my game play from the old phone).
- Opened Root Browser on the old phone and went into the Defender 2 folder.
Click and go into the following folders:
data
data
data (on my phone I had three layers of "data" folders. Your phone may be different)
com.droidhen.defender2
shared_prefs
There should be a file named "save3.xml"
Do NOT click the xml file, that will open the editor.
Long press save3.xml
Root Browser menu will pop up.
Select "copy"
File will automatically be placed into the apps clipboard and a "paste" icon will appear.
Click the up arrow and paste the save3.xml file to your microSD card.
Close Root Browser and power down phone.
Remove microSD card containing save3.xml file.
Place microSD card into powered-off phone to which you want to install the save3.xml file into the Defender 2 game.
Power on the new phone.
Open Root Browser.
Open the microSD directory and long press the save3.xml file. Press copy.
Open the Defender 2 folder (see above) to where you see the game's save3.xml file.
Press Root Browser's paste icon. When it says "overwrite" say "Yes."
Back out of and close Root Browser.
Open Defender 2 game. Where you were in the old phone's game should now be where you are in the new phone's game.

And like I said the even stranger part is that in the settings menu it works
But on the lockscreen its still showing the old one
Oddly enough I made a totally unrelated change in twframework-res via ninjamorph and rebooted and blam they are now working properly on the lock screen, silly phone I rebooted like 3 or 4 times thinking just maybe it would apply then it just does it lol.
Could you upload the files and how to do this. Its just what I wanted to do. Thanks
Oh sure thing, easiest way to do is using ninjamorph just download it from the market, open framework-res.apk (its in /system/framework) and go to the res folder and then the drawable-xhdpi folder and replace indicator_code_lock_point_area_green_holo.png with the blue one from the post and also indicator_code_lock_point_area_green.png also with the blue one from the post. Once you have done this back out to the main ninjamorph screen and select finish project select framework-res.apk, tell it yes for the first one about it replacing the apk, then tell it no for zip align, allow it to do its thing then reboot. That should do it for you if you have any other questions just ask
Thanx. I tried doing this with the latest ninjamorph I bought from playstore just now and luckily I just made a backup with twrp. Everything replaced the 2 images but when I went to save the app it gave me 4 or 5 diff. Steps. I did like you said but it froze up on work in progress and I had to remove the battery and was in a bootloop. I wish I could get it to work. I think it's the new ninjamorph might be diff. From the one you used.
First of all sorry for not telling you once you go through the prompts and apply it you will get FC's and your phone will automatically reboot, this is normal since your replacing framework, it will reboot and apply changes so no worries there. I'm just using the free version of ninjamorph version 2.4, ok lets square up the steps again. after selecting finish project and selecting framework-res.apk the first popup says (your about to overwrite /system/framework/framework-res.apk with your finished project are you sure?) select yes to this, the second popup says (since this is an apk file, we can optimize using zip align) select no, the third popup should say (since you are changing framwork you must reboot) just click ok. The last popup asks you if you want to cleanup the project its up to you this will just clean out your project folder I would say no for now until you get everything working how you want. Reboot the phone then you should be good. Also not sure on the difference between twrp and cwm as far as flashing a zip goes but I could probably just have you upload your framework-res.apk make the changes for you and post the zip file.
Man I did everything you said, and my phone is now in a bootloop, I didnt have a cwm backup so now im prettymuch screwed... This was supposed to work for any rom? im using CM10.. please answer Im really desperate right now...

If you still have the cm10 zip on your SD card you should be able to just dirty flash it and that should get you running again.

There is no other way¿?¿ I have to start from scratch? I mean I was just changing a god damn .png file! and now I lost ALL the customization and stuff I've done in my phone??!! PLEASE HELP! somebody save mee
You could always try to dirty flash a Rom(if you have cm10 just do that)
Wipe dalvik cache and cache through cwm then maybe it will boot but Odin is the most logical option without the backup

Got ya. Just boot into CWM wrote dalvik cache and wipe cache. Then install the cm10 zip. This will keep all your data and will replace those files your were messing with and should fix your right up.

OMG MAN!! everything is fine now! all my stuff is there with no problems! you are my hero dude, seriously I was really worried, I love u man no homo, hahaha, now the question is, why didnt ninjamorph work? I did every step just like he said :S
I used root app manager to delete youtube and now my phone only boots into fastboot I do have a backup in the manager's "recycle bin" folder. My question is, where should this app be placed? If someone could check their file browser and let me know the folder name and location it would be greatly appreciated! I've been led to believe it may be in /system/app or /system/priv-app but apparently the manager also deleted the folder or I'm looking in the wrong spot. I'm hoping that relocating the apk will solve my problem without having to reflash OOS. Thanks in advance!!
Try /system/product/app

I will try that. Thank you! Is there also a .conf file in that folder by chance? I'm gonna go ahead and put it there anyway lol. I'll update
Unfortunately it didnt work. But I did place the app in /system/system/app/YouTube/ as ther was no app folder in /system. I am running the latest 10.3 update. I might try to fix contents, but im running out of patience unless someone has another suggestion for me. Thanks again @louforgiveno

Crap, I somehow missed this response. There was a youtube app in that folder but i installed vanced through recovery. You're not using that by chance are you? Either way, I'm unable to boot. Fortunately I just updated today and my other slot will boot. Looks like I'm backing up and reinstalling. Might try a custom rom I've been so happy with OOS that I've never tried one on my 6t or the 7pro lol. Any suggestions? The stock camera is important to me fyi. Thanks again to both of you for the help!

Ah yes 10.3....sorry I'm still on pie.
By any chance have you looked in data/app? (If that path even exists anymore on 10.3)
And did you try to wipe cache/dalvik? (Maybe that would allow for boot?)
Hope you get it sorted out!

You could always try to flash gapps and see if that helps, but I can not see for the life of me how deleting YouTube would prevent the device from booting...
So I booted it up in the other slot. Seemed to be working fine, except WiFi wouldnt work. If I enabled it, it wouldn't even get to searching before it disabled itself. So i backed up with titanium (only user apps) and transfered files to the computer, and used the stock recovery to factory reset. Maybe I should've tried booting from there, but i went ahead and installed twrp, installed the latest 10.3 update i had saved from the phone (which was downloaded by OOS), and when i booted it up, WiFi is still broken Not only that, but after taking an hour to transfer my stuff back to the phone, OOS lost it on the first boot (entirely different issue, just venting at this point). So now I'm going to try the fastboot route. I found a guide from user mauronofrio that hopefully will fix everything. If anyone has any other ideas to just get the phone back to factory, I'll take them in case this doesn't work lol. Apparently Youtube is a very important system app!! :silly:
I'm finally back in business. The reason for my post was to not have to factory reset. Never thought it would've given me this much trouble (headbang) . Moral of the story.... OOS must run off of youtube app

That is not the moral of the story.
The moral is don't **** around with the /system partition. Why you didn't just use adb to disable the app is beyond me.

I could've disabled it within my regular settings. I wanted it removed so I could have a different version installed.

Rootless YouTube vanced can be installed and used alongside regular YouTube.
Yes I know. I wanted to delete YouTube. I wanted off of my device. I succeeded. The phone did not. Eventually, we will both succeed ???
