8525 - password removal

I recently installed some software for my company on my 8525. Along with the installation, the software compelled me to password protect the ppc. I can't even make a phone call without entering the password! Is there any way to remove the password provision? Is it in the registry somewhere?

what good is a security app if you can disable settings in the registry?!? the setting is probably in the software you installed.. i would look there first!
You might get better replies if we knew what software you installed....

Good point. However, I'm not trying to hack the password; I'm trying to bypass the necessity of a password. It's a real pain to have to enter the password EVERY time I turn the phone on. It turns it into a two-hands device and makes it more hazardous to use in a mobile environment, for example.

There are no options to disable the password in the software. The IT gods (THEIR opinion of themselves, not mine!) have defeated any option that may have been there.

Another good point. The app is Goodlink. (I could live with it if it was only Goodlink that was password protected.)

now that i know its goodlink and accessing corporate mail let me offer this advice.. i have seen issues like this around the boards, right now i dont remember where they were as i only read them for my knowledge but never made a post... now all of these people could have been wrong, i am only going by what i have read so i hope this helps.. Lots of people have reported that its actually your IT's department fault here.. they have to set the password timeout on their server (and yes this does affect your phone and how it asks for passwords) some people have been successful at asking their "gods" to change the password timeout to 24 hours so they only have to enter it once a day.. so you may want to check with them again and ask them about this and what the password timeout is for your corporate account.

If I'm at the mercy of IT, I'm out of luck. We've asked for adjustments before on different situations, and they've never budged on (what seems to us to be) their arbitrary decisions...
I'm just hoping that, since it's the PPC's password (the same one that you have the option of setting when you first set the device up) that there's something in the registry that can be changed from "1" to "0" or vice-versa, to remove the "gray" from the check-box on the password screen... I'm new enough at this that I don't have any idea on a systematic approach to finding it.

[Security Advisory] Circumvent Device Lock in Blackberry Connect for Windows Mobile

Circumvent Device Lock in Blackberry Connect for Windows Mobile
---------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
------------
BBC features a security module that, if configured and activated, locks the device after a specific amount of time.
In a corporate environment this is usually set up by a security policy which is pushed to the device via Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES).
If the device is locked the user has to enter a password to unlock the device again.
There are two ways a user can compromise the security implied with the BBC security service.
1) Using a task manager a user can deactivate the BB security service (bbsecurity.dll) which is responsible for enforcing the security policy. The BB service itself is not affected by stopping the security service as long as the device is not rebooted. Thus the security policy is no longer enforced but the user is still able to use all other BB features.
2) The BB security service does not block all user actions during device lock. Only the screen overlay is enforced but applications might still be started using hardware keys. There are several ways to misuse this flaw. One for example is if a voice command software is installed, the user can still send voice commands to the device. If Microsoft Voice Vommand is installed and bound to a hardware key and the device gets lost or stolen a malicious person can press the voice command hardware key and ask for upcoming appointments, dial numbers etc. which leads to information leakage.
Affected:
---------
Blackberry Connect (BBC) for Windows Mobile PocketPC 4.0.0.97 (only version tested, but suspectable all currently available 4.x versions)
Not Affected:
-------------
Blackberry Connect (BBC) for Windows Mobile PocketPC 2.x

How to deactivate it?
Hi,
I am looking for long time how to deactivate this security feature and would be interrested how to schedule with a task scheduler the dll??
Could you please advise how to do this?
Thanks

You cannot deactivate it completely since the policy is enforced after each softreset. As I wrote you can use a task manager to stop the service, but you should under no circumstances stop it permanently because your device will not come up anymore if the service is completely disabled.
So to get back to your question; No, I cannot tell you how to do it with a task scheduler as the only way I know is using a task manager.
One can write a small utility to stop the service and after a softreset one can run this program to avoid using a task manager for that, but AFAIK there is no such program.

mmm After being happy when I put the WWE HTC rom on my TMO Vario IV and after managed to install and initialize Blackberry Connect .103 I got disappointed when the BB security lock came in the first time.
I cannot set the lock-timer higher than 15 min.
Its extremely nasty when I am driving using Tom Tom navigator.....have to type the password every now and then (I have the feeling not exact 15min's!).
I tried the stop-service trick, but that one appears non working with (at least) BBC version .103 and .104 on my device.... Without running BB security service the device wont wake up or soft-reset itself.
Has anyone encountered these new issues with BBC 4 security lock and has anyone found a solution yet???

Was thinking to let the security lock active (preventing my device from locking up or soft-resetting spontaneously) and to build a script that runs in the background checking whether or not the security lock screen is present. And once it is...pastes the security code in the box and pushes OK.
Does this sound do-abe?

Do the same for GOODLINK and you got a deal!

Well I managed to fix this like I mentioned.
Attached are 2 Mortscripts that to run in background from \Program Files\Mortscript
(I have a shortcut in \Windows\StartUp to make sure it is run when my devices is reset, so i do not have to start it myself after every reset, but thats optional)
The 1st script is for general purpose: It just makes sure you will not be bothered again by the BBC security screen
The 2nd script only works when TomTom navigator is active.
You simply choose which script suits your needs best. Both can be run at he same time also I suppose.
The 1st script, BBCUnlock.mscr, simply waits for the security screen, sends the appropriate keystrokes (leftsoftkey, password, leftsoftkey) and restarts itself (to wait for the next security screen popup).
Beware:
1. Enter your own password in the right placxe in the script before using it.
2. Comment-out the last line until you are absolutely sure the script works (remember: 10 wrong passwords deletes all BBC data on your device!!)
It runs in a couple of seconds (which you see happening)
The 2nd script, NoLockTTNVGA.mscr, only works when TomTom Navigator is running: Every 10 minutes it taps the zoom-in and zoom-out hot-spots in TomTom's 3D view (based on VGA resolution!!), before re-launching itself again. This makes the security time-out will never happen as long as TomTom is running.

Update:
The NoLockTTNVGA script works flawlessly, but only fixes the issue when TTN is active
The BBCUnLock script has some glitches. Apparently it locks up my device when
- a reminder 'stays active' for some reason.
- TomTom Navigator is active (but that can be fixed whith the other script!)
The script can be run simultaneously. And when you have TTN: for now they must!
Not sure how to make the BBCUnLock script more stable, any help appreciated.

Hi edsub,
Thanks for your efforts so far. Up to now I have used MemMaid in my startup files so that after a soft reset, I have to firstly unlock the Blackberry and secondly the MemMaid then kicks in and I disable Blackberry Security in Startup Services. This means the security is overridden until my next soft reset as you already know. Therefore, I don't need to install the mortscript for TomTom.
However, I am particularly interested in the other mortscript you have given. I want to be able to simply soft reset my Diamond and then just leave it, without having to (1) input my password and then (2) disable the Blackberry Security in MemMaid.
I think your mortscript is possibly the answer to my prayers.
However, I have installed it to my device and also installed MortScript v4.3.0.2 Beta. I am concerned that (1) I am a beginner & this is too advanced for me and (2) running mortscript will eat up my battery.
I have renamed the extention on your file with .doc and input my password overwriting the appropriate parts) on my desktop and then renamed the extention back to .mscr and then installed in the MortScript folder back on my Diamond.
In MemMaid, I have put the Mortscript and Autorun .exe's into the Startup Items section, so this should run after a soft reset.
However, my Diamond does not unlock itself. What am I doing wrong?
I really appreciate any help you can give me. I am very much a newbie with this program!
I am persevering with this, but cannot get it working. I have put a shortcut for Mortscript.exe and the BBCUnlock.mscr into my Windows Startup folder using MemMaid. I have also tried to change the order of the programs starting on MemMaid, but this does not seem to have any effect on inputting the password. I have obviously changed the word "secret" to "mypassword" in the BBCUnlock.mscr file. I have also tried just putting the BBCUnlock.mscr (without the Mortscript.exe) in the Startup folder.....
I would appreciate your help edsub...

Update:
I have managed to get the BBCUnlock.mscr work during normal operation, but it does not work for the password immediately following a soft reset (it does work thereafter).
This is already a huge improvement as I don't need to then disable the Blackberry Security from MemMaid following a soft reset. However, how can I get it to work for the password immediately following a soft reset?
Please help edsub!!! This is the final ingredient to my perfert Diamond!!!

I think the Mortscript does not run until AFTER the Blackberry Security has been unlocked for the first time following a soft reset. I have tried to change the order of the shortcuts on MemMaid, but haven't managed to succeed. Can anyone offer any help PLEASE???

I have tried some more things too:
Added in a sleep timer of 5 seconds from sensing the "owner information" to pressing the left soft key and also increased the time from pressing the left soft key to inputting the password. It works great in normal mode, but still doesn't work for the single password required immediately following a soft reset.
Also I have tried to put not just a shortcut into the startup folder, but the actual mortscript itself. Plus the shortcut!
I can't believe there aren't more people with this problem. Edsub has certainly created a wonderful mortscript here. It is nearly perfect and I'm sure others would want it if it worked for ALL password inputs required.
Can anyone please help????

I guess Mortscript is not running before the password is given for the first time. I have this behaviour too. So i have to give the password myself right after reset. After that the Mortscript takes good care of it.

Hi Edsub, nice to see you back! Thanks for the reply & PM. Your Mortscript programme is still the most important programme on my device! I did try to re-order the start up processes on SK Tools so that the mortscript would start before the Blackberry security, but I couldn't get it to be more important in this way!! Now I have a Diamond 2 and am hoping not to have to soft reset at all. I have another problem now - I can't seem to get BBC working at all on this phone, but that's another story.....

EdSub, as you are my hero for getting the Blackberry security to sort itself out via your Mortscript programme, I wonder if you can write another Mortscript programme for this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4381321&postcount=89?
I would be very grateful!! I think other Blackberry users would be too.

Hi,
Maybe the question is idiot, but reading the first post, I was wondering why not create a small script which would simply deactivate bbsecurity.dll on startup... If I read it well, doing this once would be enough, and have no impact on the BB service itself...
Using a small sleep, it would be easy to put this script directly in the windows startup folder so that the sleep leaves enough time for the dll to start, and then deactivate it...
Isn't this possible?
Thanks

Edsub already did this with Mortscript. It doesn't de-activate it completely, just senses when the code is required and then enters the code. I would like a script which does what you are suggesting.

Yes, I know this script, and I'm using it... It's working quite good, even if it sometimes misses the code, don't know why... but I'm a bit worried about battery consumption linked to the fact a script is constantly running only for typing this password every 20 minutes... Deactivating the dll would probably be a more efficient solution, but maybe this is not possible using mortscript...

You can use the attached program to stop the service. Just execute it and the service will be stopped. However, you have to do this after each softreset. I recommend to wait until the connection is established to the RIM network and then use BBStopSec.exe
Hope this is what you were looking for.

That's indeed what I was looking for... I'm just surprised it's an .exe and not .mscr...
Is it something you compiled yourself? The idea I had with the mortscript was to add a sleep before stopping the service, because this way, I can simply put it in my startup folder and it will launch automatically after a soft reset... As far as the first lock screen will only come after 20 minutes, I could even put a sleep of 10 or 15 minutes before stopping the service and I would never get my screen locked...

[Q] Security issues..

What software security is available/recommended for the Windows Mobile devices like the Touch HD.
The built in password jobbie is naff.. I would like something that once password protected is hard wired into the system so that even if lost and found, no amount of hard resetting will bypass it without a complete ROM update..
At the moment, once set, I can still switch backon and "sometimes" it will ask for the password but if I ignore it, it will stay take me to the last app that was running before it hybernated... cheers.

Best I'm aware of is Sprite Terminator.

Thank you for that, do you know if there any facilities on that product that also work in a day to day basis.. that is something better than what is on the phone for locking down the phone when you are not using it but will fire back up upon passowrd entry.. something better than what the phone has already.. cheers..

Terminator does not. Absent info from someone else here, I think you just need to run a search for what you're looking for. For example, see http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/utilities_security.shtml

WM6.1 - I'm asked for a password, but I don't have one!

Hello.
I recently got a Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 (with Windows Mobile 6.1), and I set a password on it.
Sometimes when it would ask me for my password, the shift or fn keys wouldn't work, so I couldn't enter it. I would have to soft reset the device to be able to type in my password.
Frustrated, I decided to disable password protection entirely. I then found that after leaving the device alone for a period of time (while sleeping, for example), it would lock and ask me for a password - but since I no longer had one, I couldn't. I would have to soft reset the device to bypass the password screen.
I searched around, and found that this was a bug in Windows Mobile, and the only solution was to hard reset and never enable password protection. After a while of putting up with it, I flashed my device to use itje's Touch-IT v7, and I performed a hard reset. It was fine for a while, but now it's doing it again: it's asking me for a password when I leave it alone for a period of time, but I don't have one. I never set a password this time.
Is there any real solution to this? It's incredibly frustrating. Thank you in advance.

you mean the security password that is enforced when using exchange email? there is ap app that will enable you to turn it off, but you should read this thread (the app is listed here but you should take heed of the warning from deedee). I leave it up to you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358695

Try "hard reseting" it

I'm not using Exchange email, and the checkbox to disable password protection isn't greyed out (like it is in that thread). Thanks for the link anyway though, I'll have a look around the registry.
Anyone else know anything about this?
Edit: As I said in my original post, I already tried a hard reset when this problem originally appeared. I hadn't touched the password protection settings at all since my hard reset, but it's happening again.

Does nobody have a solution for this?

are you sure someone isn't messing with your phone and setting a password? I've been using windows mobile for 6 years and never had that problem.
And you said something about a bug.... can you link me to whatever you found?

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
I just tried searching for that again, but unfortunately I can't find it. It was a thread with somebody saying that they have no password set, yet the device asks for one so they can only bypass the screen by soft resetting - and that's the exact problem I'm having now. There was no solution posted so I didn't bookmark it or anything.
I am the only person that has had access to my phone, so nobody has messed with it. The password setting is definitely disabled, and the HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001023 registry value is set to 1 (disabled). My phone doesn't ask me for a password when I first start it (so I can get past it each time via a soft reset), it just seems to happen after 10 hours or so - I'm not exactly sure what triggers it.
Edit: I'm not sure if this is what I read before, but it seems to describe the same thing.

Thats the question: is it really time for WM6?
So far i believe that the device cannot digest what we have so far of WM6. Too many non-functional things or bugs if you would like to say =_=
Device auto-locks and asks for password and if you dont have a password you cannot get into the device other than by soft reset. Asks password even for activesync! PDAViet has problem with activesync in vista as it disconnects after 5 minutes. WiFi only turns on from Comm center. Hang up's on 25MB free RAM. A lot of memory leak! 10MB to run SPB Time -_-...

This is really wierd, i have been using wm since 5 was on the scene and ive never come across your issue. I appreciate that your not using exchange but did you try the zeynee unlock app? It might stop the lock screen, you never know. If it doesnt work then nothing lost huh??

I didn't try it, no. I was concerned about the posts saying the application used up too much battery power, and thought checking the registry would be good enough (since nothing should be changing the value). I'll install it now and see if the problem still occurs. I don't have much hope that this will help though.

Okay, it just happened again. The application didn't help.

Ok, worth a try...
Have yoyu considered flashing to a different rom to see if this works? Is there a new stock Rom available?
Ill have to look more into this, maybe msdn has something on it.

Well, I had this problem with both my original Vodafone ROM and the custom one I'm using now. I'm reluctant to flash it again due to the hassle of reinstalling everything again.
I think it may be related to notifications. It just happened again as I got a text message, and last time it happened just before I received a Skype call. When I'm away and come back to find it locked, there tends to be a new icon in the notification area. It definitely doesn't happen every time I get a notification though...

Seek Droid Reviews?

Anyone use Seek Droid?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/seek-droid/org.gtmedia.seekdroid
How's it compare to lookout or prey?
Seems like it's pretty feature rich for $.99 and reviews are good, but it's always good to hear from real, live users directly.
Lifehacker liked it
http://lifehacker.com/5745207/seek-droid-is-the-simplest-way-to-find-your-lost-android-phone

I think its the best, but I'm one of the developers. PM me if you have any questions.

I'm sure you do, but I was going to get some real user reviews here.

Give it a shot, write a review. If you dont like it, email support and we'll make it right.
I'm not sure if we have many people that are on xda using the app (yet). We are a really small company, and unlike our competition, we dont a marketing department to get our name out. Just a few developers trying to put out a good lightweight product. We love to see reviews and suggestions, so let us know what you think.

I can gave you a brief snapshot [after finishing my write up I realized it wasn't so brief]. Note: I haven't lost my phone yet so I've only been able to test it. Also, I have not tested other Droid locator apps so I have no point of reference. I've tested this on a Droid X.
Setup is a breeze. The user is asked to enter a username and secret code. The app goes through a registration process. The main screen of the app (on the phone) is organized as follows: View Website; Your SeekDroid.com Login; View Help; Current Status [Registered]; Your Secret Code; Options for Enabling remote formmating of the phone and SD card; Option for retrieving call history settings; Terms of Service; and Contact Us.
At the Seek Droid website, you're asked to enter your username and secret code. A top line menu appears, as follows: Locate; Alarm; Calls; Hide; Lock; Wipe; Help; and Log Out. Locate does just what it suggests: the webpage sends out a search command and a Google map displays the location. The Alarm options prompts you to type a message to be sent to the phone. Once the message arrives, the message pops up on the phone's screen and it beeps and will continue to beep until the screen is touched. When the screen is touched, you're taken to the slide-to-unlock screen. If your phone is secured with a password, you'll be directed to the unlock screen (pattern or keypad). Calls displays a recent call list. Hide triggers your device to hide the Seek Droid app from you list of apps (in your app drawer). Reboot is required. With Lock, you're prompted to assign a new digit lock code (digits only, not a new pattern lock). Whether your device already has a lock code or pattern lock, the new code is applied. I, for example, have a pattern lock. I changed the lock code remotely with Seek Droid and it changed it to the new code I sent. With Wipe you are given a prompt to ensure that's what you want to do. I did not test this feature. I might backup my SD card and try the wipe feature for that...I'll report the results later if I do.
I've tested the app indoors and outside, with GPS on and off. It finds it every time, usually within 3 minutes. I keep Use Wireless Networks and Enable Assisted GPS activated in the Settings screen on my device. Also, I have an app protector app that locks apps on my phone (along the lines of App Protector). I have Settings locked (requires a password to access). Seek Droid is able to change the unlock code remotely with Settings protected and unprotected.
Naturally, Seek Droid does not find my phone when it's turned off or in flight mode. Seek Droid does not provide advanced user controls like deleting individual apps, turning off/on GPS, remotely turning on your phone, etc.
Locating my phone worked with Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome. Javascript must be enabled.
One final comment: I encountered an issue with one of my computers locating my phone. I contacted Seek Droid support and received a response within 1 hour. Very helpful and responsive...kudos to them. After some troubleshooting, I discovered the problem rested with my computer. Seek Droid worked well from every other computers I have access to (rather than troubleshoot the problem with the one computer, I simply won't use that one to log in to Seek Droid in an emergency). So, my advice is to test the app from various computers so you know which one to use if and when you actually lose your phone.
I recommend the app based on my limited testing. I also recommend that you use this in conjunction with a device password or pattern lock (or an app protector app to prevent removal of Seek Droid). You simply want to set up controls so another person can't easily uninstall the app or deregister the device.

Price has now gone up to $1.99 and a bit peeved as I left it until today to get it, losing out 62p in the process
Anyway, after taking an aggggggge (months on and off) trying to configure Tasker to do this unsuccessfully I've now binned that idea and got this instead; setting it up alongside Tasker to receive a specific SMS to switch all the location finding stuff on (I have mobile and wifi switched off by default).
Just liked to echo the above comment in that it is really easy to use and the location is nailed down much better than all my previous attempts with Tasker.
Well worth it.

Wow, didn't notice that. I still hadn't purchased yet either and was going to. I really don't need it, I just wanted to play around with it. I'll just pass @ $1.99 and use the free version of lookout without wipe functionality and spend the $1.99 on a game I wanted or something.
Oh well.

is there a secret code default because i donwloaded the app to my phone online but never set it up

Kicknik: After installing the app and opening for the first time, you will be prompted to enter a username and a secret code of your choosing. Then, it will go through a process of registering your device (I guess it syncs up with Seek Droid). The username and secret code are then used to login to the Seek Droid website in order to locate and lock your device remotely.

My impressions:
Bought and installed a couple days ago on my Lg Optimus One. I am very satisfied.
The program installs very easily, once installed it asks you to choose a login name and a password and to set a few options: there's a few boxes to check, like the possibility to enable or disable the remote wipe of your smartphone.
Once you are done setting up you can access the seek droid website from your phone or from any device with internet access and once you are logged in you can monitor your device position (you can remotely enable gps if gps is disabled), check the last calls that were made from your device, lock your phone or wipe it to factory settings formatting internal memory and sd (of course it asks you for confirmation on the website if you click on the wipe button).
Another useful feature that can be accessed from seek droid website is the "hide" button. Once you press it the seek droid app on your phone becomes invisible (requires reboot) thus becoming even harder to uninstall (anyway even wehn visible the program requires your password to uninstall).
I tried every feature except for the wipe one and i can say it does what it says. Position through gps is accurate and is shown on a mini google map on the seek droid site. I monitored battery consumption and it seems almost unexistent.
In conclusion i think every smart needs a security program like this, and seek droid does better than other similar apps that i had tried before.

First I was using Lookout, but I rly didn't liked that story with the chinese developer that got misunderstood with his wallpaper app because of what Lookout said. Every website was telling ppl to uninstall his app. Lookout got a lot of attention, everyone installed their app and uninstalled the poor chinese app. That wasn't nice :T
Then I went to WaveSecure, from McAfee. I think it's $20 per year.
Never worked on my phone. Tryed the support, even installed a "debug version", but couldn't make it work properly on my HTC Desire. Gave up.
I was looking for another app to replace it and then I met Seek Droid. Was very cheap, no monthly fees and such, decided to give it a try.
Dude, I'm VERY satisfied. It's easy to install, got it WORKING on 5 minutes. McAfee WaveSecure didn't worked for me, but I had no issue with Seek Droid. If I had met it before, could save the $20 I paid to get WaveSecure (I should have tested it first, but saw "McAfee" on it, guessed it works.)
Didn't noticed any abnormal battery drain, I could retrieve the latest phone calls made and received, I could lock and unlock from the website, located very fast (I was using wifi when I tested).
I think that it could report the number of the SIM card and keep the alarm message on the screen, I mean, If I just lose it, I would like to keep on screen instructions to contact me :S
Currently If you "click" on the message, it will go away.
Anyway, I'm another happy customer.
It's very cheap, everyone should give it a try!

Glad to hear you like it. Dont forget to review us in the Android Market.

I bought it for me (EVO) and my wife (LG Optimus S). Very reasonable price. Easy install and configuration and website control.
We also were using the new Sprint/Assurian TEP app. That has additional features--which I don't want or need (i.e., contacts backup). And, even though my wife's phone also has TEP, their app now says that the subscription has expired--which it hasn't.
I was about to cancel the TEP for her phone anyhow, and this is a nice reminder of why it's a waste for her cheap phone anyhow.
We're happy with Seekdroid and the $.99 price.

sycko,
I have Seek Droid on my Droid and my wife's Droid 2. Love the application. I was wondering if there was a way to get to get Seek Droid to work on my rooted Nook Color? There can be a general location using the WiFi instead of GPS I believe.
Thank you for your time.

How does one set this up? I bought it a while back and never got around to setting it up until today. I launch it on my EVO and it pops up a screen asking for a name and password, and anything I put in it says it's username or secret code is incorrect (obviously, since I've never set up a seekdroid account). I go to the website and it does the same thing. HOW DO I SET UP AN ACCOUNT IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Thanks.
Nevermind. Got it. (Uninstalled and reinstalled and the create account screen popped up.)

Does this work with Google Voice? I don't have text messaging, so thats the issue I have with location/alarm apps

I want to know, what if my phone got stolen and the guy instantly decides to wipe my device clean of any trackers .. will this device still be able to track after such an activity ?
Also, what if the robber doesn't wipe the device clean, but modifies/disables the internet connection on the device ? Or switches to another SIM which does NOT have internet on it ? Will this program still be helpful in any sense ?

Free today on Amazon. Don't know if this is current version, but thought I would pass that along. Clean interface, but I haven't put it through its paces yet.

Great app
I love the app. Very easy to use. I've used it to locate my phone twice.
I just installed mohan's latest ROM for the skyrocket and I am getting a message that seekdroid is not working. Any tips on how to debug. Is there a log of the failure?
I like the ROM, but consider this a must have app.

need a bit of help
