If you wish to stay on Tweaked or Eclipse and don't want the FP5 or FP8 update to popup every few minutes I have made zips you can flash. I have also included directions for editing the build.prop if you wish to do that instead.
Flashing the zip replaces the build.prop with a new one with the change needed. It also deletes the update file in /cache if it exists.
If you have made any build.prop changes flashing the zip will overwrite them.
For those that edit the build.prop yourself and have already seen the update popup then after editing the build.prop you will have to delete the update zip located in /cache using root explorer. If you don't delete it in /cache it could take 2 or 3 reboots for the update pop up to go away.
If you edit the build.prop yourself I recommend you download the zip for the rom you are using just in case you end up in a boot loop. If that happens all you have to do is pull the battery, put it back in, boot into CWM recovery and flash the zip. Then your phone will be fixed and back to normal.
First Option: Flash Zip
Directions:
1. Download zip for the rom you are using and save to sdcard
2. Boot into CWM recovery
3. Mount System
4. Install zip from sdcard
5. Reboot
Tweaked 3.2
FP8 Update Stopper
Download
Tweaked 2.2
FP5 - FP8 Update Stopper
Download
Eclipse 2.0
FP5 - FP8 Update Stopper
Download
Second Option: Editing the build.prop yourself
If you are comfortable editing the build.prop and don't want the changes you have made to be overwritten or just don't want to flash the zip then follow these directions. This works for Tweaked, Eclipse and Stock Rooted.
Directions:
1. Use root explorer and navigate to /system
2. Mount as r/w
3. Long press on build.prop then click on Open With then Text Editor
4. Find the line ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/SCH-I510/SCH-I510:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/FP1:user/release-keys
5. Change FP1 or FP5 in that line to FP8
6. Press the menu button on the phone and click on Save and Exit
7. Mount back to r/o
8. Reboot phone
Easy pezy love my root explorer..

In case you're too cheap to buy Root Explorer (big mistake btw) do NOT use something like ES explorer.
I like this app, but it's not available anymore. Fortunately I kept it in backup before it was removed.

Just hit the .prop editor, then menu, and press block/unblock.
Then scroll down to fingerprint and make the change, then press menu, save and exit.

While I heard the warning, I went ahead and tried editing the build.prop with ES File Explorer. Simple change of 1 character in the file (FP1 to FP5). After I rebooted, I ended up in the Samsung boot loop.
No problem, a reflash of the Tweak 2.2 CWM zip fixes it.
So, my question is WHY would using ES over another file explorer and/or text editor mess stuff up? I even did it twice and second time I explicitly changed system system to ro in ES File Explorer before exiting. Is it something in the way it mounts and doesn't clean up after itself? Or does the ES text editor change the line feeds on the file (e.g. \n to \r\n or something like that?)
I'm should be good to go, because I flashed Tweak 2.2 then flashed the FP5 Stopper CWM zip, but I feel that running a CWM zip script to make a 1 character change in build.prop is a little extreme, so I'd like to figure out why this happened.
Thanks!
Change FP5 to FP1 when using rooted FP1?
"I have also included directions for editing the build.prop if you wish to do that instead."
Can I make the manual change of FP5 to FP1 when I'm using rooted FP1 instead of "tweaked" or "eclipsed" to eliminate trying to update to FP5 until IMNUT gets into the update??
Thanks

It's the way ES saves files that require root access. It used to be fine, but they changed the way they did it and it doesn't work any more. Stuff on the SD card works well enough, and I use their picture viewer with Chant (4chan browser)

Can you tell me what exactly gets jacked? Is it the file contents? Do the permissions get whacked? I'm trying to figure out why I can't use my laptop editor UltraEdit, in text or hex mode as necessary. Laptop offers better space and version control for me. Thanks in advance.

I made it a little easier for people flashing the zip. Before if you had seen the pop up after flashing the zip you would have to go into /cache and delete the update zip. Well now you no longer have to delete it, the zip does it for you.
Flashed the zip for my friends ROM and it got caught in a boot loop. Not sure what went wrong, but I am attempting to reflash the ROM to get it to boot.

What rom was he running and did you flash the appropriate zip for it. Maybe you just got a bad download try redownloading and flashing again.

I've told the ES developer to check this thread. He responded:
We have tested it without finding issues.
The line break is /n by default.
The default coding is UTF-8.
Could you send an error build.prop to us to help finding out what's wrong?

I'm headed out of town for the weekend so I can't help him troubleshoot this.
kvswim or PaulN64007, is there any way you can help the developer track down this issue? They claim ES should work. I'm guessing it's more along the lines of temp files, chown/chmod of the temp file when copied back to the original file? Not sure.
Thanks
on Tweaked 2.2, ran the .zip, no problems, booted up fine and there's no FP5 notification. thanks!
Perfect for me too. Thanks for the work.

Saw that the BIOS boot animation was almost up so I decided to make a matching downanimation.zip to match it. Just downed FPS and reversed the BIOS Android to create, but I hope you enjoy.
Unfortunately you can't just replace it with Root Explorer, you have to push the file to replace it through ADB, however you can use Root Explorer and rename the original first if you would like to save it.
Code:
adb remount
adb push downanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
Then it should be installed as your shutdown animation. Should go nicely with the Boot Animations.
Root Explorer
It can be done easily using Root Explorer. Just replace /local/data/downanimation.zip with your custom file and then longpress the file and select permissions, then set it as read for users, group and others and write just for user. For Execute leave them all blank.
I tried it myself and it works.

How did you zip your file? When I use yours it works fine. When I use mine, which is similar to yours just with different images, I get a black screen.
I just zipped it with winrar, you have to set it to store, it cannot have any compression or Android won't read it.

Went ahead and threw this together too. It's Mudknot's edit of the first screens but he couldn't get the android loading screen to work at the end. I got it working from the EVO file, couldn't get it from the Desire HD files. Here you go!
For my 400th post I decided to share something alot of people wanted working on the Sensation. This simple batch file will replace the GTalk you currently have with one that works with video chat on the Sensation. In addition, the version it installs works with the option to use it while not connected to Wifi (Take that T-mobile !)
Thanks to all those who tried it out **we have weeded out what works and what doesn't**
====================================================
EDiT
====================================================
The best method that works for me is "Root Talk Installer"
I have take the liberty of uploading it here for you all
It includes the GoogleFramework apk that GTalk w/video needs to work
without video/audio problems.
====================================================
After installing be sure to click yourself in Gtalk and select "Allow video and voice chats"
Enjoy !
Doesn't work.
Even after pushing .so and .apk files manually.
UPD: Worked after adjusting permissions and rebooting!
Good stuff!
Do we have to install this with the phone connected?

As I'm on Linux, I'm going to install the files manually with Root Explorer; I will report back to how it goes.

OP seemed to forget the "adb root" command before trying to remount the partition as rw.
but adding "adb root" to the start of the script results in the following response from the server:

OK, so I replaced the .so file and the Talk app in /system/lib/ and /system/app/ with Root Explorer...and I can't see the Talk app, either in my app drawer or in the Settings menu. It's definitely in the /system/app/ directory, but there's nothing else for it. It doesn't install like a normal sideloaded apk; it comes up with Application not installed.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Gonna try Phateless' solution with the permissions
EDIT: Well...I have a little video icon at the top near my email...and I have video notifications and video chat menu in the Settings menu of the app...it's looking good
I'd love to install this mod. Can someone please explain in detail how to use the talk.bat file to install the mod?
Do you hook the phone up in sync mode and just run it? Or do i have to have adb installed? I don't know about that.
Perhaps someone can just make this into a .zip for the community

Permissions: you move the Talk.apk to /system/app/ and then copy the permissions from the next app in the list. I found that they were in an upside down L shape, so I copied this over to the Talk app, rebooted, and volia, it worked!

7. enjoy
I'm not responsible for people ruining their devices because they didn't make a nandroid or tried to flash this on a ROM other than CM7.1 for the MT4GS. That's what this battery mod is made for and I'm not going to guarantee results of any kind.

Just pull the files that it asks for, our phone is not on the list. You are rooted right? Use a file explorer to find the files
framework-res.apk
com.htc.resources.apk these are located in /system/framework
and also get
SystemUI.apk
Which is located in /system/app
Then select upload system files instead of choosing from the list, and up load the files. It works great, I themed my whole phone last night.

I'm a rookie, would you please give details explanation how to do this
, yes my phone is rooted hboot unlocked with s-on.
Get a root explorer, I use Root Explorer, it is a paid app, and totally worth it if you are rooted. I am not sure what free options are good, so ask around. My boyfriend was using File Expert, but it did not work very well, he finally bought Root Explorer, and he hasn't had a problem since.
Open the root explorer or file manager that you have, make sure you have R/W (read/write) privileges. Then look for the folder named system, in that folder you will find another folder named framework, inside that folder you will find a file named framework-res.apk , and another file named com.htc.resources.apk. When you see one of those files you long press on it, and a menu will pop up asking what you want to do with the file. You can choose copy, and then paste in on the root of your sd card, but I choose the option to send, and I send it to my dropbox.

Get a root explorer, I use Root Explorer, it is a paid app, and totally worth it if you are rooted. I am not sure what free options are good, so ask around. My boyfriend was using File Expert, but it did not work very well, he finally bought Root Explorer, and he hasn't had a problem since.
Open the root explorer or file manager that you have, make sure you have R/W (read/write) privileges. Then look for the folder named system, in that folder you will find another folder named framework, inside that folder you will find a file named framework-res.apk , and another file named com.htc.resources.apk. When you see one of those files you long press on it, and a menu will pop up asking what you want to do with the file. You can choose copy, and then paste in on the root of your sd card, but I choose the option to send, and I send it to my dropbox.

Not sure if others are seeing this, but I cannot move/copy those two files into /System/App as we are using a secured kernel.
I tried using ADB Shell Mount, but refuses to let me mount the /system as RW. I tried Root Explorer to copy the files into the /System/App even after setting it to RW but it never copies the files into that directory.
Has anyone sucessfully got this to work? Seems like needs to be injected through a zip file via CWM.

I ran into the same problem.
Tried re-rooting, but no dice.
So I started from a fresh install, One click ICS, odin CWM, CWM root, then load deodexed system files.
For some reason we can touch the /System/App right after install, but then it stops working after a couple of reboots.
I'm using Romracer's deoedexed ICS files.
Alright well I managed to get them in there. I just booted into recovery, then in CWM mounted the /system. Then I used ADB to push the two files into the System/App and it took it without an issue. Then Just renamed the LatinIME.apk to LatinIME.apk.bak using ADB as well (didnt want to delete it just incase this didnt work) and then just rebooted and the dictionary definitely works now.

Thanks soo much! I thought i was losing my mind. But i did it a different way instead of ADB.
For those who (like myself) who are not familiar with ADB, download ES File Explorer.
Go into the settings on the app
Go into file settings and enable "show hidden files"
Go back and Enable "Up to Root"
Scroll farther down and enable "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System"
Then Rename the existing copy of "latinme" to "latinme.apk.bak" (just use .bak ; like someone mentioned already) in the /system/app directory
Then copy the two files to this /system/app folder
You may have to (for some reason i did) rename the two folders that you pasted due to them being named as "._latin..."
Just delete the "._"
Then re-enable the keyboard in settings
Hope that helps for people who dont use ADB or know how for that matter.
I also had to restart the phone to get it to work.

I followed your steps and it didnt work for me, I tried to rename it and it said operation failed.
ETA: Ended up doing via ADB and it worked.
I guess i was lucky. I was able to make the changes with root explorer. Good fix by the way.

Its definitely a good thing ADB exists then. Some got it to work which is great, others i guess will have to use ADB.
I will say the first time i did this, after i renamed the two files because they had hidden names, it failed for me. Those files were corrupt or something. So i re downloaded them and redid the steps with ES and it worked fine.
Another thing, do you have busybox and all that fun stuff installed too(ROM Manager)?
This is a known Linux speed tweak, and i found it on the epic 4g thread (my son has one, and I loaded CM9 on his phone) that was started by marcusant. So, i'm really just sharing the info with the Evo community, but I truly think it is quite valuable info, and will likely work on any Android based device since as stated earlier it is a Linux tweak. This has only been tested on ICS, and GB, but I'm pretty sure results will be the same with Sense...
This is what i did, and for those of you that want to add it yourself, just add this code...
Code:
net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=0
net.ipv4.route.flush = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_rfc1337 = 1
net.ipv4.ip_no_pmtu_disc = 0
net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_fack = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 39000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 39000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 187000 187000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_no_metrics_save = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_moderate_rcvbuf = 1
to a file sysctl.conf (you can use root explorer to make a new file, or whatever file manager tool you like) then using root explorer copy the file and navigate to /system/etc/ mount as r/w and rename the original sysctl.conf file to sysctl.conf.bak, then paste the one you originally copied (you can add the lines of code to the original file if you are using a edited one already). Then change ownership to root/root, and permissions to rw/r/r, then mount back to r/o, and exit root explorer, and reboot. If it works you should notice your browser opening pages faster, the market much faster, and of course speed test will be faster.
I was pm'd this as a way to get this properly working on ICS. Thanks ratkiley
ratkiley said:
You can ignore my previous email because I found the solution. I am sharing it with you so you could update your original forum post with the missing information.
At first, I was not able to install the data speed tweak zip files through my ClockWorkMod recovery ROM on my Ice Cream Sandwich / Android 4.0 phone. After various experimentation, I figured out the solution.
To install the zip from the SD card,
Copy the zip file into the root of your SD card
Boot into Clockwork mod recovery rom on your phone.
Mount the /system/ folder. (So you don't flash the files into the Recovery ROM's /system/ folder instead of your android ROM's system folder. Otherwise, you won't see the /system/etc/sysctl.conf file appear in the file system after installing the zip file.)
Choose "install zip from sd card" -> "choose zip from sd card", then find the zip file.
* The /system/etc folder does not exist on the clockwork mod ROM's file system, but it does on other android ROMs. ADB shell exposes the clockwork mod /system/ folder to you unless you first mount the /system folder. So apparently, "Mount /system" means mount your phone's Android ROM's /system folder in the running Clockwork Mod unix file system.

This is highly unlikely, but if this somehow breaks your device I am in no way responsible... Just had to put that out there...
For ICS users you might need to use THIS method, or you can update your services.jar file HERE (compliments of Papa Smurf151 Thread).

I extracted a sense rom (Derps), and i did see a /system/etc directory, however, i did not see a sysctl.conf file. You could try putting the file in that directory, and it may do the needed adjustments upon boot. Again, i'm not a sense user, but It is still a linux base, so the adjustment "should" still be possible...

Cool beans, Fiddy., I was gonna create the file, but you just saved me time and that's always a good thing
OK, both flashable zip, and flashable undo zip are in the OP. The flashable zips are based on a stock file, so if you are using a modified sysctl.conf file, this will set you back to stock, so I would suggest just adding the lines manually if you are using a modified sysctl.conf file. You can easily check this by just navigating to your /system/etc/ location with a file manager (i suggest root explorer), and just checking the size of your sysctl.conf file, if it is 0kb, then it is stock, and flash away. If it has any size value at all, then it is modified in some way, and as stated earlier I would suggest manually modifying your file.
Tried flashing and said aborted, can't find update script or something along those lines.

You could try toggling signature, that should get it working, but I'm not with my computer right now, so I'll have to look into it later. Sorry about that, if anyone wants to make a flashable zip in the mean time i'de appreciate it.

This is what the file is for....
The sysctl.conf is a configuration file for "sysctl" which is an interface for dynamically changing kernel parameters in the Linux OS. The configuration file contains the following elements, vm.min_free_kbytes, vm.dirty_ratio, vm.dirty_backgroud_ratio, vm.vfs_cache_pressure, vm.oom_kill_allocating_task. There are many other elements within the file, but we will be primarily focusing on these specifically (the vm prefix stands for virtual memory). The sysctl.conf file should be located in /etc (/system/etc) by default. To enable it you need your ROM to execute "sysctl -p" somewhere during the boot process (or shortly afterward).
I havent found it in the system/etc/init.d folder on GB/Sense.It is in ICS system/etc./init.d folder though.
Wouldnt that be similar to the kernel tweaks from Car o Dope?
