I was reading this Article and for what I understand Dev phone can't see paid application and some non paid to, the I though how is that I can see all the applications if I have a rooted phone.
I thought that when you have a rooted phone it was basicaly the same as a DEV phone without the nice back cover.
Can you correct me here plz.
thanks...
A rooted G1 is not identical with an ADP1, which explains why you have access and people with ADP1's do not.
Ironically they're blocking the ADP1, which people have bought fair and square and haven't (necessarily) modified in any way, but if you're on a G1 that you have rooted (modified) you have full access to paid apps. Kind of unfair, but what are you gonna do.
If I'm not mistaken the Dev phones come sim unlocked. True? Also is the physical body which is by appearance slightly different in color with a design on the back whereas the standard G1 just have the "Google" printed on them.
Yes, the ADP1 is sim-unlocked as well, and the back design is unique.
Here's a pic of the back of my ADP1...

Keep in mind that you can flash the ADP with the (optionally rooted) G1 image, and thus access the paid apps. You can also flash a rooted G1 with the ADP image, and thus lose access to the paid apps. You can also negotiate with T-mobile to unlock your SIM card.
At the hardware level the only difference is the plastic cover. Once you've unlocked the recovery image and/or the SPL you can switch between images freely (with a wipe). Note that if you don't have an engineering SPL (stock on the ADP) it will be a pain to get back to an unlocked state if you flash the standard G1 image, as it will flash the recovery image with one that will only accept the OTA keys. As long as the SPL is open you can use fastboot to reclaim your phone - otherwise you need to apply the root exploit.
Actually, i could not see the paid apps while rooted.
I downgraded and got to RC33 non rooted, but still cannot seem to see the paid apps.
Any ideas?

This is my first app for android
The main purpose of this application is to help people with low vision.
WHAT IS DOING?
When you can't see something from screen, shake the phone and then you can pinch to zoom, wherever you are
STOCK or CUSTOM?
STOCK is for stock roms and CUSTOM is for custom roms like cyanogen7 or MIUI.
Sometimes CUSTOM MODE works on STOCK ROMS.
!!!- ATENTION :
UNFORTUNATELY, YOU NEED TO ROOT YOUR PHONE IN ORDER TO USE THIS APP

thank you... i'll try it
Sorry ,I did not notice your ROOT caution.
My set is not rooted .Hopefully it will work for others.
HTC Explorer,android 2.3.5
not working on sgs2...
what am i doing wrong..?
I cant get it to work on Galaxy note(n7000).
Doesn't work on Razr
Just rooted my razr on 6.12.173 and this doesn't seem to work.
Told SU to grant access first time I shook the phone, and now, after a shake, it pops the little message up that su granted access, waits a couple seconds, then launches a "this page cannot be displayed" (as in a webpage you can't go to) that takes up the top half of the screen. Bottom half is black.
Running on a stock ROM, with root.
-- UPDATE --
Some more info from the web browser. From what I can tell, you're trying to save a PNG, and then open it with the browser to zoom it. The error I'm getting is:
The web page at: file:///data/data/com.vrx.screenzoom/tmpshot.png could not be loaded as:
The requested file was not found. /data/data/com.vrx.screenzoom/tmpshot.png (No such file or directory).
I think it should be just '/data' rather than '/data/data', but I tried saving a png to both '/data/com.vrx.screenzoom/tmpshot.png' AND '/data/data/com.vrx.screenzoom/tmpshot.png' and still got the "file not found" error.
Please let me know if I can help anymore with troubleshooting as I'd love to see this app work! Also, the shake has to be pretty violent for it to pick up; perhaps some other launch gesture as an option also?
I flashed a custom ROM and the on first screen my device asked to insert the PIN code, then i tried more than two times and it showed "Slot has been permanently blocked". I could't make any phonecalls And when i flashed my stock ROM it works normal.
Do you know how to unlock the SIM slot?
Thank you very much.
Device: Blu vivo IV (Gionne s.5.5) chipset 6598
Custom ROM: Lolifox V6
---------------------------------
If you truly believe the device is stolen or has otherwise been acquired through illegitimate means, we can't help you - you should contact the authorities and have the seller investigated. Stealing is a crime and stolen IMEIs are blocked for that very reason.
If not, first check that the phone supports the network frequencies that your carrier uses wherever you are - not all phones support all bands, and not all carriers support all bands either.
If you can tell us the make and model of the phone, we can point you to a device-specific forum in case it's a general problem or issue with that phone model.
Beyond that, you can try to take up with the manufacturer of the phone or the carrier if it's a carrier-branded phone.
I once had to make numerous called to my carrier's support line because my new imported phone was somehow registered in my carrier's database as a completely different kind of device, so the system kept kicking me off the data plan."

My device was not stolen, i bought it recently, if you guys want i could post the photography of the box.
I live in BRAZIL (BLU IV) and i am trying to install a custom room for a device which's made for INDIA(GIONE s5.5), the device, it self, is the same, what changes its the "software".I saw a video on youtube that someone from USA installed the same custom ROM and didn't get any problem.
I am apologies for this good English sirs.
If you enter the wrong PIN more than three times, the "slot" gets blocked and you can't use your SIM to connect to the network anymore. Newly bought SIM cards come inside one bigger card on which your PUC is written on. For security purposes, SIM cards require this code to be entered if they get locked down.

My phone is HTC Sensation z710e (HTC__M27). Its have is a strange issue.
I had been tried ivanich's new custom ROMs. Also the firmwares in htc.vi8.info , too. I can't remember fix time; suddenly began to appear a special mark in bottom-left of screen(dark circle with red outline/halo). Included all modes; Bootloader and Recovery and main system. Whatever I did, the symbol can't removed(Even if Original stock ROM, all firmwares, "Relocked" and "Unlocked" mode, too).
How can I remove this watermark? Can you help me? I would love to.
P.S.: I just tried to send example screenshots. Unfortunately I'm new user; the forum system allows external links after 10-post.

Mine had this too, after some work a dark circle suddenly started appearing on the screen and I tried everything (putting the phone in the freezer, even changed the motherboard since I had two of these.) but nothing fixed it, I think you should replace the screen. And I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM you just installed, It has to do with the hardware.
btw mine looks like this:

Thank you for your reply and info.
Me too. Exactly same amblem despite its position different.
I tried "Dead Pixels Test and Fix" app and many ROMs. No change. As you said, this issue releated hardware. I will send it to technical service. If there is no fix, I keep to use it with the dark spot amblem.
Moving thread .... don't believe its a sprint issue
I switched from sprint to T-Mobile. They screwed up and let us keep our old phones and did a discount for the hassle. I figure I don't need 2 S8's so I would just sell it. Welcome to my nightmare.....
So I factory reset the phone to get all my data off, I did this through the settings menu. No issues the phone reset. It was at the beginning new phone screen so I just left it and placed the phone on craigslist.
I get a buyer and we meet at the store. The lady who works at sprint and was going to verify the phone was not stolen starts the phone and asks me for the password..........huh?....
The phone is at a password screen and I have maybe 5 at most that I use various combos of, none of these work. She brings it over to the "techs" there are they say they have never seen this. I then apologize the the man who wanted to buy the phone and proceed home. I do some searching online and find out how to get into certain menus and do resets, and re-flash the stock rom. Even after those it wants a password.
I then think I'll just use find my phone with good and unlock it. Well it is a sprint phone and I have T-Mobile now so it has no connection, and I can't get past the password to get to the wifi settings. So google says it can't find my phone.
I contact Samsung and since it’s been less than a year they say they will help. I send in the phone and they send me it back with the crack on the back of the phone fixed and nothing else. I called and they said they have record of me asking for help with a password problem. I then ask if I can send it back and get that taken care of and they said it would cost 150$ because they fixed the phone......huh?
I really just want this password off the phone. At this point it’s a matter of I am more curious about finding a way to get it off the phone than selling it. I’m also open to all ideas. Taking it apart, flashing something third party on it.
If you need pictures I will get them up shortly. Or a video. At work currently, so I can probably reply in a timely manner. If you need more info please ask and I’ll try and get whatever you need
Thanks in advance

EDIT 2- sigh* I don't know why the images are sideways. They show the lock screen // the fact that is is not FRP locked // i have done a factory reset
I bought 2 Chinese smartphones: One is from a company called "Doogee", and the second is called "BlackView"
The Doogee one came with many weird apps preinstalled, so I installed Malwarebytes, and it detected 2 malwares. Both removed. After a day, Malwarebytes prompted me that a malware app is trying to install itself (one of those I removed!) - So I stopped using this phone. Hopefully did not risk too much of my personal information (passwords, emails, etc).
Meanwhile, the other Chinese phone I ordered has arrived. Knowing about those security issues now, I immediately installed Malwarebytes, and it detected that the Sound Recorder app is a malware, and is actually using data(?):

@TroyGuard I would recommend to search for a custom rom build from source to get rid of that stock spy roms :good:
@TroyGuard
personally I wouldn't use them but as you have bought phones you probably want to.
Though on twitter recently Elliot Alderson (@fs0c131y was asking for such phones to analyse, he'd probably be happy to get one!
So If no custom ROM then you should be able to freeze those apps, system or preinstalled, that are risky or unknown (though they often come back, so freeze normally better). If you read the recent threads you will find links to a number of ways to do this, eg using TWRP, ADB, apps like Debloater etc which may work on those phones
WARNING: be careful freezing system apps, freezing an essential app can make your phone unusable, check online first if in doubt
Change all your passwords after this is done, to be safe.
(though there is still the possibility of a hardware backdoor , but I've not seen any reports of this.)
(Note: you probably won't get automatic OTA updates anymore as the ota updater is often part of the problem, besides you would have to refreeze apps after new install, but might be worth updating manually if it gives you important security patches)
