Apologies if this seems like a really obvious question, but what is the real-world advantage for the average user to run the OS unlocked? Not a veiled criticism. I just want to know what I would be getting myself into!

Yes, im a n00b at this too. I Installed VS2010 + WP7 and can debug and develop. So whats the benefit of this unlock?

The Default Emulator Image is limited to a preinstalled IE and some System Settings. The Unlocked Version offers the full System.

Unfortunetly i get:
Windows Phone Emulator
---------------------------
Error: The emulation layer does not support the functionality that is being accessed.
Any ideas?

APP-11 June 2010 - Magic Poker - Fun new free app

I've created this thread for a friend of mine "Jonathan" as he's developed an app for WP7. He has also ported it over to the Android and is currently working on the same for WM6.5! It's a Magic app that is pretty cool. Check it out and if you have an Android phone or WP7 emulator, be sure to load it up and try to find out how it works. Send your guess's to him if you think you know his tricks. Have fun! Thanks again Jonathan. See below..
I developed the app on windows phone 7. The Android app is the same as the WP7.
Here is the video below.
http://www.youtube.com/v/AUCgcq-Ps_U&hl=en_US&fs=1&
Now the android version is on android market as a free app. It's now v2.0, and tested well on 2.1 & 2.2. Not sure about 1.6 & 2.0, but seems can't work on 1.5. The secret of the trick is hidden inside the app, maybe you can guess by yourself how the trick works or try to find the solution somewhere in the app.
Hope you guys will like it and wish you have fun! Thanks!
i guess he is using the capabilties of the microphone to record what cards they are mentioning, since they are saying what cards they have.

I thought so too, but he specifically mentions he's not using a microphone (or actually, he says he uses only the emulator / mouse).
I think it has to do with where you click on the screen:
If you divide the screen into 4 columns (hearts diamonds spades clubs) and 13 rows (1-10, J Q K) you have a 'roster' on which you can click the correct card.
Note that he doesn't click straight away, he first moves the mouse for a few seconds (which looks to be pretty precise)

The place where I click on the screen really matters. But devide it into so many parts is hard for me to control.
Maybe the video is not very clear about all the things, you can check some screenshots here.

That f***ing droid x's bootloader!

This thread is for Devs trying to crack the encryption on the Droid X's bootloader.
The linked files are from the leaked .588 update. If you look through them with a binary viewer (Bless works best on Linux) you can see all of the eFuse commands, and also a 'ROM_FAILED' phase.
What we know:
2048-Bit RSA encrypted
2048-Bit means only 245 bytes of encrypted data
Partition can be echoed to a computer ( it's mmcblk1p15 )

So what could I use this for?

The really long string of numbers and letters (with a few symbols) could be the encryption key for the bootloader. The attached file is definitely an encryption key for something, but it is password protected, and therefore encrypted its self.
THE PASSWORD FOR ENGINEERING_KEY.P12 IS: password

How about if the bootloader passcode/key was just password/key. That would make things real easy.
SOOOOOOO CLOSE!!!!!!
Brian: Hi, my name is Brian. How may I help you?
Zeklandia: Hi, I seem to have lost the encryption key to my Droid X's bootloader
Brian: My apologies. Are you trying to root the device?
Zeklandia: No, just loading a custom kernel
Brian: My apologies but we do not have any encryption keys for the bootloader of the phone.
However, we do not recommend installing non-Motorola software on the device as it may cause concerns and it will void the warranty of the phone.
Zeklandia: Do you know somewhere I could go to find the keys/somebody I could talk to to get them?
Brian: My apologies but we do not have any information about that.
Zeklandia: Do you know who would
Zeklandia: ?
Brian: I am sorry but I we really do not have any information about the encryption keys.
Zeklandia: Okay, Thanks!
Brian: If you need any more information get in touch. Thanks from Motorola, bye!
Brian has disconnected.
Well, HELLO?!?!?!?!?!
I can't do all of this my self, and I'm running out of ideas.
The point is, SOPA sucks.

You can clearly see Android running behind it, so my guess would be some sort of Remote Desktop (RD, VNC, etc..)
It is higly likely a VNC session. Some time ago there was a video showing M$ Word running on NST in the same fashion.

Any to Bring Back Android Subsystem?

I liked project astoria bcoz it solved the app gap problem.
Many hackers here are able to hack W10M beyond levels. so I wanna know if there is any way to bring back. Android subsystem?
Maybe a copy past of the android subsytem file found in older builds? and some registery changes?

No, there is no way to bring Astoria back. It is hard blocked within the kernel, plus system policies prevent it from running.

Wait... What??? You mean to tell me that they disabled Hyper V "within the kernel"?
How would that even work? And why the hell would they go out of their way that much?
If a consumer can't easily enable it, it is essentially a non-issue to whatever concerns prompted them to disable it in the first place....
But, regardless of that, who cares? As soon as we have SecureBoot unlock, we can break out of the chain of trust and simply patch the Kernel. F U C K MS!

They might use the same kernel, but they can very well configure it in different ways. Especially for different architectures.

At one point, they completely blocked LXSS.sys from running in the kernel after 10571 (this COULD be changed since RS1, I haven't checked but still most likely the case. I'd love to be proved wrong on that one though ) . They also blocked loading of the aow.wim and the AOW runtime service in the kernel, the winload.efi and some other core files. They also pushed file system policies to prevent the execution of the aow.wim. I'll have to look back to see if I can find the exact policy changes, but it was already rolled up in 10571 on forward.
Also, I'm almost certain they put changes to block certain functions from executing in the case that lxss.sys was loaded.

Well, if what you say is correct, then it seems they thought of this as a security risk indeed.... But, all of these checks should be TRIVIAL to bypass after killing secure boot. Getting Astoria running is a different story of course. Windows 10 changes more often that longhorn under the hood...

Possibly. It'll take quite the modification to system files. They do some stupid and annoying checks in the most awkward dlls that you wouldn't even think of.

This is a very interesting thread. I hope some of you are taking this project on. MS removing Project Astoria capabilities was a very poor decision, especially now in hindsight as there hasn't been much in the way of new and exciting apps for W10M. Having the capability to run Android Apps on a linux subsystem would help to keep many of us hold outs from defecting to other platforms. If someone is looking into this please start with the Lumia 950 series of devices if possible.

Could you please explain what are you doing and how your are "working on" it? Do you have a latest Windows 10 core sources plus old trunk with the project "Astoria" sources?
Could you provide any sample of the high-end whitehat's successful projects you've already worked on and released to the general public?
Or you just speculating with the irresponsible words on the public forum, looking for some cheap popularity?

if you mean slowing down your phone, then yes, security patches are great!
An example: On windows 10, the original 1607 ltsb 2016 is probably the fastest and most smooth OS I ever used on win 10 series. Unfortunately if you install the "security patches", it becomes slow and high latency.
Same goes for android devices.
If you know what you are doing, then you don't need patches.

Propaganda, but you do you buddy. Sounding like a Google / security researcher shill. The average person doesn't need all these security patches. Unless you work in a high level government or military field, security is pointless. I don't need nanny updates from google to tell me how to use my device.

Have heard in the news about a rampant problem of androids being hacked.
No but sounds interesting. I would like to reiterate I am not fully against patching and updating a device / firmware to latest for security reasons. All I am saying is that a person should have the ability to block updates on an android or any other electronic device for that matter, not to be forced by Google or another megalithic corporation to move to the latest.
1) I fully agree that a user should have the right to not update
2) why a user would subject himself at a constant security risk is beyond me, but I strongly support his right to do whatever he wants
Freewill, freedom of choice be it good or bad. In that it is a matter of opinion, but it is still their choice! God gave us freewill, do we choose Him or choose the world? That is the single biggest choice one has to make!
