What I should write more - nothing. You have to read this:
Software piracy has become an extremely controversial subject lately. We all know SOPA and PIPA. But when it comes down to the very personal scale of app development, one must question the true wrongdoing in obtaining free software. We have debated this internally at WPH, and while our major developers have voted against it, the new blood here has decided to make a modest proposal. Leave it to the hands of the users.
We've heard many arguments against obtaining cracked applications, all of which are erroneous. Some claim it hurts homebrew, and has resulted in the extreme locking down of the WP7 operating system. Others claim it robs developers who spend hours developing, and takes away from the income of not large, greedy corporations, but rather, personal developers who may have families to support, or education to fund. Others claim it is just morally wrong, and shows a degrading of character when something so cheap is still seen unworthy of personal dimes.
This application is subject to the disclaimer that you use it under your own moral obligations and local laws. Essentially, this application installs a DRM store to your phone that causes the Marketplace to unlock all trial applications, and circumvent charging users for purchases. It's easy and effective. We can't say we support it, and don't know how long it will be until Microsoft patches it, as they are historically very quick and organized in bug fix updates.

Please dont ***** about warez or piracy, I dont want to hear it, I have heard it since 1988, and no argument is new, ever. I do pay for apps, just not untill they have proven themselves useful over the test of time, 30 days or 10 starts dont cut it, even the worst written app can seem well put together for a few days...

Dave - he's talking about the Usenet. Where is it? It's everywhere! You need access to newsgroups. Google can do that.
Piracy - guys, condone or not, understand the board policy that we will have to lube you up and get medieval if you distribute through the board. For legal reasons. So just be sensible, you're all grown ups.
Where do I get my apps from?

Hi Kids!
I found in many sites such as eBay.com and others, a pack of codes to unlock HTC phones without a PC.
I Live in Chile but I buy a lot of HTC phones in USA to sell it here on my free time
Will be great if I can unlock all my phones without connect each phone to a PC.
Where this guys get or generate these codes? Where can I find it?

Thanks for your help!

oh, i have the same question
UK residents should be aware that it is a criminal offence to change the IMEI number of a phone and if you are found doing it for other people you can get upto five years.
I love it when instead of answering peoples questions with an actual answer, someone feels the need to tell you how bad/illegal/wrong, it is to do what your doing. But then when you go back and look at older threads, or even on other forums, you see that same person asking the same question you asked, a year or two earlier. But once they know the answering, they tell everyone else not to do it, not to ask, and they can go to jail, blah blah blah. Unreal. Its sad when certain forums are 30% legitimate questions, and 60% "troll answers", and 10% real answers. It sucks when you have to go through reading 3 days worth of bull**** to get the answer to a question that is fairly basic, and in the old days would have been answered, and if there was no known answer, everyone would have worked TOGETHER to find one. Those days are obviously long gone, as everyone is more interested in "getting mine", and making, or think theyre going to make, that whopping $10 charge to give you that answer or do that service for you. Even though its "illegal". Ya its illegal, until you pay them, then legality all of a sudden is no longer an issue. Funny how that works right?
I would think XDA would be the place where "Devs" come up with solutions without judging! This is the whole idea of places like this. Where we do things we want to do with our devices. It can be getting rid of malware, junkware. Developing awesome skins, ROMs, apps. We circumvent operator practices to stifle our beautiful hardwares so why not develop easier ways to stop the government from blocking our freedom to use/buy devices and use them freely on any network!
Just noticed this site came up, after waiting for info for a while.
It feels disappointing
windowsphone7series dot com
How disappointing ?
As disappointing as WM6.5 ?
As disappointing as Win7 ? Vista ? Zune ?
It can't be as disappointing as ME !
Perhaps there's a pattern emerging here, much the same as the Microsoft stock price over the last 10 years (-45%)
What's the bets Ballmer will be out of a job by 2011 ?
I personally don't like the new face that its been given...until I try it for my own though I will not judge hastily, because it looks like there could be potential.
touch pro2 cannot run the wp7 series as it is low end device and doesnot meet the requirements so all of you will not be able to try it without changing your phones
Ah, how refreshing, more Microsoft bloat without managing to move forwards or impress anyone
Here's a good example :

yet microsoft is not the only company being pointed out for bloatware as you can see.
I think simple and intuitive is much better than what winmo7 looks like, but once again I won't solidify opinion until I am testing it out on a device.

I never said microsoft wasn't a major contributor either, I was just stating that the information you gave was only half of it (unless they of course read the article). So yes microsoft adds bloatware, but so do many others.
*edit*
I see we are on the same page, very unique as I believe this is a first.
What about Blu-Tack ?
There's no bloat in Blu-Tack !

different fields on technology buddy
Now that WP7S is announced, I'm sure someone will make a WP7S UI for Win 6.X just like the iPhone UI back in 07. So, developers get coding.
Hi all,
Wrote this as a friend wanted it on his phone got bounced by the marketplace (god knows why).
Code is fairly solid but could use some work posting the source and XAP here for someone to take over the development.
In short its been sitting on my machine for an age with nothing happening. If anyone wants to have a play etc then go for it.
Please note this is released under GPL. In short don't pass this off as yours and go around making money!
What do you have against others making money off something you have up'd for free that isn't done? No-one is going to make money if they're always half-way-there [bon jovi jokes are a must].
Not making money par-say but people stealing the code and claiming as their own then hogging all the rights to it.

The code works, the app runs. Half-way wouldn't be a fair description. I'm providing the work I've done to date for free so that someone can carry on working on it as a free open source project. I think that seems fair.
Probably got bounced because marketplace doesn't allow "Adult, racist, homophobic, etc." content
I wrote a Sickipedia app myself before Windows Phone 7 even came out, lloked like this:

But I guess I'll have a look at this sometime and see if I can do anything for it
Yeh very similar look to mine. Think you win on UI design tho.
Im happy to work with you on the UI and roll with your Code if you like ? Wouldnt want to put my name all over it and could be released on here once finalised as a colaboration ?
Hi,
Would love to but the work load with my university course is getting very heavy and so I don't really have any time to dedicate to a project right now.
I am more than happy for you to take my code and re-do the UI and release to XDA users.
You could try to republish the app.
The 'exit' exception you're throwing is not allowed, and will definitely get your submission denied.
private void button2_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
throw new Exception("I want to close the application");
}
You really should just remove the entire first page. This is just asking them to notice the 'ethics' violation.
Never really had anyone look over my code before, bit of a strange feeling knowing people are looking at my work!
I do agree while strictly true the exception is against the rules it shouldn't cause the app to fail certification as it will still conform to the policies.
I'm not really too interested in republishing as it was directly refused on ethics grounds and I find myself kind of agreeing with them.
Hi there,
Let me introduce myself for starters. I'm a devoted Nexus & Android user and I'm using XDA for a couple of years now. One of the moderators (/u/rwest05 on Reddit) from this thread gave me permission to post this, so do not consider this as spam
Recently I started to develop my interest for crypto currency. Nowadays I'm involved in the Reddcoin team. Reddcoin is a coin (like bitcoin) mainly focussed on tipping. Reddcoin can be bought or mined using CPU, GPU or the more recent ASIC. Soon Reddcoin will switch to a new self developed system called PosV*. For all technical questions I want to refer to our FAQ* and if I got you attention be sure to also take a look at our website*.
What I'm trying to find out if the XDA community would like to implement (or for starters use) Reddcoin as their main crypto currency. We already have tip bots on Twitch*, Twitter, Reddit and soon IRC (#reddcoin on freenode). Reddcoin also has it's own API*.
So now you guys are wondering. What are the benefits for me in all of this. For starters Reddcoin has it’s own Broadcast* platform. So for instance if any of the XDA devs wants to announce something, they can use our platform for free to have maximum social reach. Second is that people can tip each other Reddcoins as appreciation for their work. And last but not least we have a light Reddcoin Android wallet (also available in the Play Store) that can be included in any custom rom.
Please let me know what you guys think. You can also PM me if you want to get either involved with Reddcoin, mining or both.
Cheers,
Lowww
The Reddcoin team

No problem. Everyone is free to choose
I love the ReddCoin. I also hold many other coins, including Doge.
I created ReddAPI. If you have any questions, you can contact me about the API.
The API has an app competition going on right now.
The Reddit community will be voting on the winner. 1st place gets 5 million coins, that's [130.00] (now its 155 but when the value hits 7 sat, its 180.00) USD today, and hopefully much more later this year.
Big things are coming to ReddCoin. Keep a weather eye on the horizon.
