**used Android ID Changer.. worked exactly as i needed..**
Im running vegan rom
i play a couple games that are tied into the phone( or whatever) unique id..
When i installed these games, they already act like i already have an account and will not let me login with my user(one account per device). My question is how do i change my id? If i used the id from my phone would it just act as a clone? Im fairly android literate but i cant quite figure exactly what i need to do to (or exactly explain my delima) any help or direction would be appreciated ~evil
I'm not sure how to change this, I only learned of it the other day. The Swype Beta uses the ID to register you for the beta, so if you lack one like we do then it won't work and say its unsupported. The IDs are usually unique and only appear on "phones" (devices with cell capability). However, HTC and Samsung have applied one ID to all of one device so this breaks some programs. This leads me to believe we lack the ID entirely. If you find out where the programs are looking and how to add or change the ID make sure to post the information up for everyone.
Good luck!
Found it. find and install Android ID changer. It allowed me to do what I needed.
That's what I needed to change. Somehow someone else had to have the same as mine, hard to believe but that had to be the case. Not sure if its the same thing swype is looking at though

I live in Korea and have a nice little Samsung.
It's a Samsung SCH-M450 or also called AnycallFX. I have stripped out all the Korean MUI stuff and am currently trying to get an English version of "MITS", a proprietary application loader that also runs on Blackjacks.
The best English info I can find on it is the following...
http://www.mobileisgood.com/phone_spec.php?phone_id=492&manufacturer_id=45
I am wondering how to ID this and possibly play around with the ROM.
First and foremost I would like to make a dump so I can keep it working in case of errors. I have some update programs from Samsung that ship with the phone for writing to it when they release updates but I don't know if there are plans for any in the future.
Could someone ID what device it falls under or help me figure out how to get info from the phone? Does someone know of a utility that will allow me to get version numbers, hardware IDs, etc?
"ID what device it falls under"
if you mean who makes it then samsung make their own devices they dont oem from htc or others
Thanks very much. I have been picking away at this phone piece by piece with registry edits, testing apps, etc trying to get it the way I want it. Thought maybe some of the content in here might speed the process up.
not sure if any body thought of this what if chefs let users to sign their names addresses and finger print scan in the rom
1st will be thief deterent
2nd good hearted will return it if found
3rda phone will be a personal thing,chefs can leave their name somewhere for the smell and taste fo thier cooking
I'd think Chefs should also put a file in the \windows directory called release_notes with their ROM name and a forum link to their ROM thread.
Can't say how many times I've forgotten who's I've got flashed at any given time.
First, most chef's already put their name in the rom in one or more places, second , if you are using one of Alex's rom's used the kitchen & you can put whatever you want in it. Third, if somebody decent finds the device, your name & etc. is already in device owner info or can be looked up by your carrier with the serial or esn. Finally, if anyone else finds your device , it will take them all of 10 minutes to use Google & figure out how to flash a new rom. You could change the device ID to something nonexistent to make it harder to flash, but that's something better worked out by you & no Chef is gonna want to do that for every single person, not to metion that if he did, the thief would google & figure it out.
There is always ways around things, just ask AT&T, HTC & everybody at XDA

1st the whole idea is not about the phone getting lost rather than personlizing it ,to google or change that is why i said chefs should make it possible to ingrave it in the roms thiefs if they know all that they are nottheifs they won't find time to steal they will be cooking for us
actually, for anti-theft, I was thinking of a kit...
1) modified SPL; requires non-standard password and a signed NBH using your own custom certificate
2) OS is locked down with a trusted certificate of your own in the store so SSPL won't run at all... unless you sign it with your certificate
3) program that checks the SIMcard IMSI; if it changes then it sends an SMS to another number.
now... there are a few practical issues with 2) because it makes installing new apps a pain in the arse since they all need to be signed, so maybe a way of buggering up SSPL would be better.

A Chef that makes ROMs used by thousands is not gonna want to customize or personalize each one for every user. That said, with a donation, there are many that might consider it for you. Of course, you can always use a base ROM & the Kitchen to do it yourself. I do this.
Also, you can use provisioning xml's to customize or personalize them on a basic level using UC. Read Sleuth's thread on UC (User Customization).
@ Olipro, I really like the idea's 1 & 3. I have played a bit with CID locking to an imagined CID & with false Model ID's but of course while you then can't flash a ROM that's not customized to match, you could bypass it with SSPL, making it pointless against anyone half competent.
Your solution 1 & 3 would almost have to go hand in hand, having the password & a way to keep SSPL from jumping the password measures. Something like this, in conjunction with WIMP & UC in ROM, would be a great tool for security. Very Interesting indeed.
And no, this is not another one of those.. " I locked myself out threads".
I used to have a Treo 700wx which worked wonderfully until I switched to ATT and bought a HTC tilt. The Tilt being way faster and everything I could ask in a phone there is 1 small problem..
With the Treo, when I went to "lock" I could enter any sequence of numbers, either being 1111 or 1234, or anything simple. With the Tilt, its not so simple.
When I try to enter a simple password, it says it must be more complex.. The exact error message is "Password Error. Please enter another password. The password must be at least 4 characters and not contain a simple sequence". That's nice and all HTC, but considering my phone is in MY pocket 90% of the day, I don't necessarily need a complex password.
Ive tried looking on xda, all the possible software sites that Google has thrown at me, and I couldn't find a single post or thread about this.
I do know there are programs out there like the iphone slider, which is amusing. and a couple of other ones with patters and whatnot.
So my question is Does anyone know of a way to make it so I could have a simple pin with the default lock program? And if not, does anyone know of a similar program that does the same thing?
The reason I ask is myself a few other windows 6.1 users have also asked the same question. If anyone knows, please share so this community will know!
Thanks

*edit* I just realized that this thread belongs in the "Questions and answers" area*
I'd suggest editing the registry, and changing the policies.
However, if you're synching with Office/Outlook Exchange servers and the server is actively pushing security restrictions to your phone periodically, you might have a hard time getting rid of said restriction permanently.
Thank you Bouvrie for your post, and I did find some useful information, but nothing to the lines of actually modding the registry to allow me to have custom passwords that are not complex.
Any more ideas?
So this part ain't of any help to you ?
Determining Password Complexity
Registry Key: HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\LAP\
lap_pw\PasswordComplexity
Value: 0 = Require Alphanumeric. 1 = Require numeric (PIN). 2 = No restriction.

You didn't say if it was to do with enforced security settings?
If so, this little app will help

I did think this part would work, but after looking into the registry, I found it was already set at 2. Because I do not have a password set.

I just tried this app, and it did not work the way we thought. Thanks for the try!
anyone have any ideas.. I can't seem to find any regedit keys that deal with this issue.
It's impossible BOB.
can someone if they feel inclined or bored produce a WM6 app for me? dont care how it runs if it uses java or whatever, but if you do java can you insure it runs in midlet well.
basically i want a simple register for my check book. used one once but does not run well on the midlet java has a glitch in it. anyways here is what id like it to do if your tempted to do it. if it works well id even pay a few dollars for it
balance shown at top with month
input + or - amounts
set catagories as well as add new ones
add notes if needed
show date
able to go back and forth each month to see payments
then if you want to add these functions in, maybe a way to look at a break down by catagories to see where most the money is going. and a way to MMS the results to a email account, maybe in a html or other format so i can see date, amount, catagory, notes (this last part is just bonus)
the one thing the last one had a issue with was it never carried the amount to the next month i had to add it in manually.
i hope someone is inclinded to write one i miss my old one so much....
various free finance apps on this site, eg
http://freewareppc.com/financial/shpfinance.shtml
Just a case of trying them all and seeing which works best for you
I doubt anyone will write one, as there are already pro apps that do most of what you want - ie export data etc
Enjoy
i have looked all over for them and most do not run properly on the Dash, and the pro ones have way to much bloat in them i want them simple the export function i use rarely so is not needed. so thought i would ask is all.
thanks for the link i tried all of them listed on the site, and 0 of them worked on my dash, my dash is running 6.1 with net 3.5 and every last one gave me a error when i tried to run the programs after instal..
i do thank you for the attempted assistance tho.
Have you tried an Excel Check Register? There are a lot of free Check Register Excel templates available.
not familiar with excel or spreedsheets can ya point me to a place that has them ? thanks for the help
Is it me or does the DeviceID of a Viewsonic G always come back as the same thing on every device?
I'm running TNT Lite. Running certain market apps immediately lets me take over an existing account owned by someone else, and other apps tell me my deviceID is already registered and give me the username / email address of the person who registered it.
First, it's a bad idea for an app to identify the user solely on the DeviceID. Second, it's a bad idea (and probably against the Android specifications) for all devices to report the same DeviceID, I would assume.
I've also written an app that tracks mileage for tax purposes. I developed a web based license solution that allows a user to either purchase the "pro" version through the Google Market, or I can also "gift" it to people, identified by their gmail account.
When I gift it to someone, it allows them to register up to three devices associated with their gmail account and it sends me an encrypted one-way hash of the DeviceID. I've seen a couple of the same DeviceID's associated with users that my own gTab reports.
This also means if anyone tries to set up an app that does any sort of encryption key based on the deviceID that it would be easy to break.
So, long story short, is this a problem with the core Viewsonic build, or is this an effect of TNT Lite? Or are all DeviceID's the same unless you have a cell radio?
VEGAn 5.1.1 has the same problem... found that out the other night while trying to get Line2 going.
If memory serves correctly there's a hack involving the Android Emulator that I'm adding to my list of todos.
Well I found a post here by Chief Beefalo describing how to do it, but his post is wrong when it comes to the viewsonic.
It's stored in the database at:
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
In the "secure" table is a row with device_id. Just update that from sqlite should do the trick. It's a 16 digit hexadecimal number.
Of course then you still need to generate a random number that doesn't still conflict with anyone else...
Now the security expert in me starts to think about how bad it would be to write an app that would roll through a ton of deviceid's and log into Pocket Empires (which only locks it down by the deviceid, no password) and trash people's accounts.
I believe you found the android_id ... check out this write up:
http://augendev.wikispaces.com/Market+Fix
start at step 18
And I can confirm this works. You can use a tool such as Android ID Changer (on the market) to update your id. Once that is done you're now free of all the other custom rom holders.
Line2 is now working great for me!
Here's another link to the same (basic) instructions with a better download link if you have problems with the one above:
http://www.smartqmid.com/wiki/index.php?title=Getting_Android_Market_to_work_with_2.1_v1
Can't I just modify the Android ID with a random 16 hex digit number? It might be a duplicate with 1 device out there, but that would be better than to be a duplicate with every ROM of the same kind?
The emulator solution takes all of maybe 15 minutes. You could also look into stealing 15 of the 32 bytes consumed by a guid. I'd like to find the code that supposedly regenerates the android id and host it on a web page. Curious to learn what its variability is.

This is also what we used to do over on the Pandigital Novel Slatedroid forum. It was called the "ugly" Market hack. Maybe it should have been called the "secure" Market hack.
When I originally got my GTablet, I couldn't figure out how to port the ugly hack over, and eventually we found the other Market hack that we currently use. Also, interesting enough, I added the xbin folder into TNT Lite originally to get sqlite because of early attempts to get that hack working.
OK. So I tried the emulator path and the problem I have is that I ended up with a 18 digit Android ID instead of the 16. The Android ID application will not let me change the ID to an 18 digit number, only a 16 digit one. Any ideas?
I dropped the first two digits ... go figure
Btw I'm finding the same Id on every rom ... it is not limited to any one distribution. The only app this has visibily effected for me is line2. Seems fewer and fewer apps rely on this value... atleast on its own. Problem for us is some bring in the imei code and all the gtab is going to do is return zeroes there.

Thank you!
BTW, I am running Vegan 5.1.1 So this is not a TNTLite only problem. I am guessing that any ROM will have this problem.
Agreed. I've seen the same id on vegan 5.1 and chalkilin.

A suggestion:
any coder, or anyone who can modify the "SettingsProvider.apk" can change the creation to something else.
On FolioMod and Elocity i changed it to be based on the "ro.firstboot" value, so any new installs will always be different, and yes it might conflict in any firstboot values match by the second or a minute in other parts of the world but chances are small.
its normally generating it from the ro.serialno value..
