OK since you're not going to run the helper, lets add the device tree overlay manually. Edit /boot/config.txt with
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
and add the following lines at the end:
[pi1]
device_tree=bcm2708-rpi-b-plus.dtb
[pi2]
device_tree=bcm2709-rpi-2-b.dtb
[all]
dtparam=spi=on
dtparam=i2c1=on
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtoverlay=pitft28r,rotate=90,speed=32000000,fps=20
