I followed a tutorial "disable BigBrother features", but it probalby prevents the log sending only.
Maybe changing the url of their "to-do server" would work without chattr'ing developer.keystore?
There are various ways used to identify non-Amazon additions.

The device has a manifest of what files belong on the Kindle.
It is a simple list of md5sum and path/filename entries.
I don't recall reading here if anyone has tried to stop that 'delete attempt loop' by adding the developer.keystore md5sum entry to that manifest list.

There are other threads here on the general subject of disabling 'BigBrother' -

One of my first threads - the Chatty Katie thread has the IP address ranges to be blocked. I did the blocking in my router. Someone else (CsCat?) added a post to show how to block those IP address ranges on the Kindle with iptables.
That information is about a year old now, from a K3 of that age.

One of my recent threads - the Exploring the Kpw thread has the most recently determined address ranges to be blocked (and a repeat of the old K3 list).

The Linux firewall (iptables) is a very powerful network access control system. On par with Cisco's, in some ways even more powerful and more versatile than Cisco's.

So find my new and old threads, google up info about iptables if required, get after taking control (packet by packet) who and what your Kindle talks to.
