    Default How to remove Sprint Activation Nag from your Galaxy Tablet from TacoBell

    This is pretty simple. It may sound difficult but I was able to do it.

    First things first you will have to have your tablet rooted. If you have not rooted your tablet this will not root. I can make a tutorial on that later if people like but here we go for now for those who have it rooted.

    Download the following program from here. [APP]SuperOneClick v1.9.5 (Root, Unroot, Enable Non-Market App) - xda-developers Here is the direct link http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...7&d=1307984774

    This is assuming your TABLET IS ROOTED AND DRIVERS ARE ALREADY INSTALLED!!!

    Step 1)Go into your tablet to settings then Applications then Development. Then Enable USB Debugging. You need to do this before connecting it to the computer.

    Step2) Connect to computer and do the following:

    Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory of the files you just downloaded and unzipped. I would rename it to something easy like SuperClick. You need to make your way inside the ADB folder. So it would be for me

    Cd C:\SuperClick\ADB

    Or whatever it is for you. Once inside there you want to type adb devices. You should then see your device listed. Once you see it listed proceed. If its not listed you do not have a rooted tablet or you do not have USB debugging enabled

    Step 3) Backup the Sprint stuff by typing adb pull /system/app/SprintAndroidExtension.apk then hit enter. This will back it upto the current folder

    Step 4)Now you need to find the mounted directory. You do so by typing adb shell mount and hit enter. A lot of stuff wll pop up but what your looking for is this : /dev/block/stl9 /system rfs ro <-- The ro means read only

    Step 5) You now need to fix the read only problem. So type adb shell and hit enter and you will get a little prompt. Make sure you have your tablet unlocked and on then type su and hit enter. A screen will come up on tablet and ask for permission.

    Step 6) Now you have the little new prompt for root you want to type mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/stl9 /system .. Change the st19 to whatever yours is but I am assuming its always that.. And hit enter this now allows you read and write permissions. So you can now remove the nag

    Step 7) Now type rm /system/app/SprintAndroidExtension.apk and hit enter.. If you did everything right you should be done. Type exit and hit enter as many times as it takes to get back to the command prompt. I believe it took me three times. Now to make sure it worked type adb reboot and hit enter at command prompt your tablet will reboot and all should be done no nag

    You could use Root Explorer and delete the "SprintAndroidExtention.apk" and any other crapware but that's not a free app I could upload the apk somewhere though if you guys would like it. You would just have to know how to install an apk.

    Or this:
    Download Terminal Emulator from the Market and typing:
    su (Login as root)
    mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system (yes there is a space after the '5')
    cd /system/app
    rm SprintAndroidExtension.apk

    I realize that this just roots it but there's no good rom for it; I really dislike touchwiz
