Request$ Stop Amazons Kindle Fire Silent Updates - Kindle Fire Android Development

Is there any way some one has found out how to stop the Silent updates from Amazon.
There updates look like they want nothing but the basic Kindle Launcher!
One of the easiest ways to avoid the update was simple turning off wifi.
But, I wanted to know if there are any other ways!

I've frozen the OTASilentinstall.apk with luck so far. But fyi this belongs in general.

The updates don't really hurt anything, and CM7 is supposed to be ready tomorrow, which means no worry about OTA updates at all. So just hang tight little Pilgrim.

I have a feeling no. Once you root your Fire the amazon prime video detects it and disables it.
Once you are on cm7 you will have permanent root practically and if amazon can detect root or not, Im sure it can detect your not on the right ROM and just outright say no.

Skype 2.0 video chat crack?

I saw that the Skype 2.0 was cracked and allowing video chat on. More phones than official app allows. I was wondering if anyone has gotten cracked it in a way to get it working on the DI2. Here's the link to the original forum discussion
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/4849-Skype-with-Video-Support-for-Various-Devices...
Would love to see this working with the DI2 instead of waiting for the official release or switching to something like fring.

Download the RUU, you could just Google it. I think its worth it since I have no need for root yet. I'm sure root will come my way eventually anyway.

Yeah I had some problems when I rooted my original Incredible and then when I decided I didn't want it rooted I had troubles everytime I had an official Verizon OTA update. I decided with this phone I have no intention of rooting it at all, to avoid problems like that.
...though i would love to delete the tremendous amounts of crapware that came with this phone.

Skype with video works on my DInc2 with 2.3.3 non root. I downloaded the DIncS version from xda and it works awesome.
Go to settings/applications/manage/all/, go to the white skype, clear the data.
Uninstall the blue skype if you have it.
install this skype here (http://www.mediafire.com/?c86p48w1ei0zaco) and enjoy your video calling.

You don't want to try to rent movies on a rooted phone. Since root allows us to modify framework and potentially remove DRM, you can't actually view the movie you just paid for because content providers asked Google to restrict rooted users from accessing movies, even though you can still pay for it.
@mikeew83,
Not sure if you do this already, but check the android development and hacking forums. There is a section for apps and games, it's a great place to find apps.

That's where I got the updated market, downloaded netflix long before the official app came out for our phones, and a few other apps that I'd never have found if I didn't look in that forum. Definitely worth taking a couple minutes each day to browse if you ask me.

[Q] Root for Android 2.3.3

How long do you think it will take for a ROOT to come out for the Android 2.3.3?
Between now and the end of time.
We don't know and asking for etas won't get you anywhere.

(sike!)
i am patiently waiting. I miss my old evo rooted. I was actually given a brand new evo that had 2.2 on it and the ota showed up and without thinking i updated. So mad about that.
Thanks, I'll be patient.
I understand this is hard work and you guys are doing it all for love (or for something other than money), so I'm not going to add my voice to the chorus asking when the root solution for 2.3.3 will be ready--even though I'm a-yearning and a-craving to upgrade and re-root my phone. I'll just say thanks for now to all you geniuses for making these phones so much better!
Hope it's soon because I'm ready I just got my evo 4g yesterday and tried to superoneclick root and z4root and it didn't work.. Never thought to check and see if 2.3 can root. Damn
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
the more people ask, the less likely it will be done!
And if you had searched, you would have seen this has already been asked!
I bet root will be available when you stop making new accounts just to make the same thread asking the same question over and over again.
If anything, the devs are probably getting tired of the obnoxious kids in the Evo forums badgering them. Instead of trying harder, I'd give up if I were in their shoes.
Believe it or not, there are worst things than not being able to root your phone.

Yes. Coming soon is not soon enough! The full screen popup is nice. You can also use the app hovernote to do something similar. Check out the nice work being done for the N7000 to include multiwindow features of galaxy note tablet. Hopefully this will also be made available on GN2

I'm thoroughly enjoying Jedi-X V1, Might flash V2 this weekend, or wait for Jedi Master 4 which will add wifi calling. These are based on a Chinese ROM. Also should see some good work from Cyanogen since Samsung is doing a good job of releasing source. Almost like having a Nexus!

Removable apps..

I've looked high and low to no avail. Usually there's a list compiled by one of the more brainy folks of apps that we can remove without losing functionality. Does one exist? Now that I'm rooted and unlocked I'd like to know what I can trash. Debloat that is... thanks in advance.
I've posted in the proper section, so please no trolls or flamers. :banghead:

I've never seen a list but I believe the imperium ROM has a zip of all tha apks that were removed. It might be first post but im pretty sure its somewhere in the thread. ROM toolbox has worked good for me removing Google books and Google magazines as well as some sprint apps.
It is safe to remove:
Backup
Video Editor
Voice command
Voice recorder
LG tags
Notebook
Tasks
SmartShare
That is what I have removed with no issues.
Thanks guys. I never looked in the Rom thread cause I was never interested in flashing stock roms lol I mainly wanna get rid of the apps that wake up and run in the background. Google+ talk Sprint stuff etc...

Save yourself some time and wait for the JB update to Imperium. To give you and idea, I removed over 400 things from the ICS version. I would make a debloat script for it but with that many items and apk swaps it's faster to simply flash it and install what you want. In short, barebones builds are my thing and kind of what I'm known for.

so if were to take him 3hrs to go through and delete what is not necessary for his liking, does that mean imperium could be released sooner than that? then he would save some time. j/k, im just bad with patience. i really liked your ics rom and i know im not the only one. thanks for all your efforts
