I will look into it tomorow, but theres big chance you can only remove that by actuely activating the windows..there are allready some KMS tricks for activating windows for 120 days, but cant help you with that, there was some info on winunleaked but got removed..

There is a quick fix but only seem to work for a little while.
1. You start command prompt with admin rights
2. Write "slmgr /rearm" and press enter
When it comes to RTM build watermark, It worked but I had a bit of a problem replacing the shell32.dll.mui file. But I fixed this by renaming the file and then just copying the file in to the correct folder.
Hope this helps.
currently all the volume rtm have been activated by kms server

The mods said this type of discussion is okay as long as there are no download links to the leaked OS, or any methods of permanently activating it. Neither of said things are in this thread.

Yes, this has been sent to RTM... Yes, people CAN have it, legally and fully activated.
However, if you have the watermarks, it is NOT activated, nor is it Illegal to use and run this way. This is a trial period for you to use and then you will be forced to activate to keep using.
Any discussions around how to bypass/extend this trial period, or discussions on how to get the information to do so should be prohibited as that is not part of the usage agreement when installed as trial.
Removing the watermark is a grey area, however, not really "illegal".

Well if MOD think this is warez remove it, sure.
But this is basically visual mod, and DOESNT affect activation in any way!
And still you get that big watermark over all applications telling you you need to activate windows, so not even this helps much :/

Rename the original file first then restart explorer.exe from task manager now replace/copy the modded file to the location where the renamed file..
That works for me, hope yours too. Thanks.
PS. Dont forget to restart PC after replacing all files and before restart do the command prompt thingy as administrator as what on the tutorial says.

Here's the updated emulator build (thanks to pirozhki for unlocking it). There's no options to add data sources to sync/connect with. Now that we have the final build, hopefully we can get it working better than some of the beta builds.

To run it, just like the previous ones...
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft XDE\1.0\XDE.exe" "C:\Users\YOU\Desktop\WM70C1.en-US.unlocked.bin" /VMID {E575DA31-FC47-4766-853F-018D823B9EE6}
Or you can place the file in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Emulation\Images" with the name "WM70C1.en-US.bin" and debug with visual studio and it will launch. I believe this still does NOT work with https connections which is probably causing lots of things to not work. Hopefully we can get that figured out so we have a fully working build.
So here's the download!

No-one unlocked this yet...
Barring any unforeseen issues, it'll be done in a few hours. Hold tight.
Any chance you could enable the task manager ans shortcuts while you're at it? Will save me having to redo the unlock when I get back to the office.
uploading my unlocked image right now.
RustyGrom,
Thanks a bunch for doing this!
A couple of comments from a developer who's intensively used the unlocked ROM for the last couple of months:
1. The "Task Manager" and "Shourtcuts" (File System Explorer) programs were missing from the last unlocked ROM. Any chance we can have those back?
I've got samples of how those apps looked like in the original unlocked rom @
justinangel.net/WindowsPhone7UnlockedRoms
2. HTTPs was disabled on the last unlocked ROM, which makes using this ROM for development of real world apps pretty hard. See more on this issue @
imaginativeuniversal.com/blog/post/2010/08/01/WP7-Tip-done28099t-use-the-unlocked-ROM-for-development.aspx
3. If you can ship a dump of the ROM as well as the unlocked eumator - that'll be awesome.
Again, thanks a bunch for doing this. You're definitely contributing to WP7 development efforts.
This ought to do the trick. Add Account and whatnot is still broken though =/

1. I plan on trying to get those back. I don't think it would be too hard. Just need to find the binaries and figure out how to get them into the BIN (I've never added files but it shouldn't be too bad).
2. This one is super tricky. I did some testing on it and once you made ANY sort of material change, it stopped working. It was EXTREMELY annoying. It's almost as if they have some sort of checksum action going on that nukes the certificate checking if you mod the OS.
3. Will do.
It just frustrates me that Microsoft won't release it this way. CLearly if we can unlock it, so can they. They're just making the gap between the "haves" (those with devices) and the "have nots" that much wider.
Tried playing a youtube video just for fun and it asked if i wanted to download the app for it from the marketplace. Said yes but the marketplace doesnt connect.
It really stinks they dont allow you to add accounts.

I need some help... I was able to find the LG Voice To Text App and download it. I tried to use the XBMOD certificate method to install the app on my Samsung Focus, I was able to install the app and it shows that the app is installed on my phone but when I run the App it says "Sorry, This application only works on LG's phone." I know that the Samsung Apps have been working on HTC devices. Is it possible to do the same thing with this App and get it working on a Focus and other WP7 devices?
As I say in another thread, HTC and LG apps all check if they are running on the correct type of phone.
We have to found what they actually check (registry? file? driver call? other native API?) to see if we can trick this API.

They call his camera module GUID using LGAppCommonLibrary.dll.
It was not obfuscated, so its a very quick fix.
Do not forget to deploy replacing the signatures/removing the drm description.

I'm getting a connection error when I open up the Voice to Text app and click on any of the options to initiate the VTT. One thing i DIDN'T do was deploy replacing the sigs/removing DRM. Could THAT be the reason or is it trying to use some LG libraries for some connection? Has anyone gotten this to fully work on other devices?
I re-tried with the drm and sig options with the same result.
"No connection.
You don't have a connection at the moment. Tab Try Again to reconnect, or tap Cancel to set up your account later"
I don't see a Try Again or Cancel button .
Can anyone try this with the network profile app? I can provide the xap
If not does the network profile perform the same thing that HTC connection setup performs e.g. Installing/overwriting provxml?

Well, the GetCustomProperty function is one of the "problematic" ones because I think it tries to get something custom for lg phones using a guid code.
In the emulator I also get a similar "GetCustomProperty" error but with another description
seems like its the same protection as in the other apps (voice to text)
Hades32 said:
It's very easy for LG. They get a custom property via the camera API. It's in the LGAppCommonLibrary.dll . Just replace the call with "return true" and you are done.

Alas, I have something to test. I'm not about much today, and I don't have a GS II, so it comes untested, and unwarranted. If this causes a large explosion near you, not my problem. Likewise (and somewhat more likely), if this causes it to wake you up constantly, or to not boot, then just push the old file back via ADB, or re-ODIN back to stock.
This should remove the annoying "OMFG OMFG guess what?", that your phone presents to you at approximately 3am each morning. It should then remain quiet, merely content that it is fully charged, without having to alert the universe to that fact.
So, if you wanna try it, fire away. Rename /system/app/SystemUI.apk and /system/app/SystemUI.odex to have the ".old" extension added on the end, and then copy in this new APK to that same folder. Then reboot your phone, and cross your fingers for good luck And if it all boots up OK, then you can try popping it back on the charger and see if the neighbourhood gets woken up now...
If it works, please post. If it doesn't, please post that too I don't usually release things without testing on my own phone first, but o2 seem to want to infuriate you guys with this noise while my order sits around somewhere in a pile.
Tl;dr?
Pop this into /system/app, rename the old ones, so you have backup. Reboot, see what happens and if the alert disappears. If not, use ADB shell to remove the new file and rename the old ones. I would suggest using adb to push the apk like so...
<remount filesystem etc>
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv SystemUI.apk SystemUI.apk.old
mv SystemUI.odex SystemUI.odex.old
exit
<back to the windows prompt now>
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
<remount it read only, and reboot with fingers crossed>
Reverse the rename, and delete this NEW apk to undo.
The file is at this page so that if it causes trouble, someone else can pull the download while I'm not around
as soon as I renamed systemui.apk to the .old extension I started getting crazy FC popups, had to play with it a while just to rename it back to systemui.apk.. so I wasn't able to get far enough to install the modded version

I was about to say I didn't feel like much more just now due to O2 UK, but I've changed my mind. As of tomorrow evening, I aim to start the "one fix per day" to fix something Samsung broke, regardless of their FAIL quotient...
But there is only one rule... And that's that nobody in this thread mentions O2
I'm going to just forget about the idiots until the phone appears, and focus on fixing the niggles that Samsung did...
Also, to whoever PMd me for the details of this fix - I've not forgotten you, but I don't have the stuff handy for a day or so Sorry. I'll try and get the details to you at some point.

You can also just create a shortcut to the activity under "settings", just FYI. This is good for people who can't do that, though.
Does not work for me. after installation the app says "not compatible with your system". I am using standard orca rom... android 4.2.2

I like the icon in the OP
This is what I read about App Ops:
"Some apps don't show all their required permissions until we use them. For instance with Bump app the authorizations for "vibrate mode" and "Send notification" only appear when we open the app and try to send something."
I don't have 4.3 atm so could u please confirm? It seems very strange to have a security app wich works like that...
Good one ! Thanks .try to change icon or pit in settings if you can

Why would someone say that if it weren't true? This feature wasn't supposed to be released yet but it was in the build and someone found it.

I'm not agree and accept all what I read... Everything isn't true so a small comment is always appreciated.

yes, and you can try "App Ops Launcher" on play store to launch the "App ops" on android 4.3, it is just only 7kb.
it is coming with the next update? i mean official yet?
A new way for end users to break apps...a developers nightmare come true. While I like the idea of this it is too easy for users to switch off permissions, forget they did it, app appears broken and the developer must waste time supporting a non-issue.
This is aimed at the functionality Google has added to 4.3 not the OP's shortcut app.

The situation wouldn't be the current one if some developpers don't use useless permissions. Have a look at Facebook's permissions...
The user has to know what he does before criticizing an app that seems to not work properly.

If used properly this is an awesome addition, the problem is what I stated above will indeed happen.
Example being a wallpaper app (we will call it wall-e) shouldn't be able to read contacts if it can't set contact images, in this example disabling this ability is warrented. But perhaps you didn't know this particular wallpaper app can set contact images, you disable this permisssion. Weeks later your changing John Doe's image to find wall-e in the list with gallery, you think cool I can use wall-e to change John's image so you select wall-e and bam...force close. You think the app is broken, send bug report, the developer reads the crashlog and tries for hours to find out why on this particular device setting a contact image causes a crash.
This is a general example, it gets worse as most users have no idea what permissions are really necessary for Android applications basic functionality.
Then it gets much worse, this is one user...imagine all the millions of users using hundreds of thousands of apps once 4.3 is mainstream like 4.2.
Please try this "App ops launcher", it is only 7kb, scan this and install on your device to have a try.
cheers :good: will it also work on jb4.1.2?

No. App Ops doesnt exist in anything under 4.3.
Hi,
this is the first app I've ever developed for a mobile platform.
Name: ClearFocus
Description: ClearFocus is app which helps boosting your productivity by following principles from The Pomodoro Technique©
It aims at being extremely simple to use, just tap to start, and feel integrated in the system by following Holo guidelines.
I'm planning to add other features, such as a small to-do manager and white-noise generator to isolate yourself in noisy environments, and other options, such as automatic airplane mode when timer's running.

Thank you for the help
EDIT: I've added to this post the .apk
EDIT: I've updated the .apk
Sorry, I forgot the .apk file, here it is
Updated the .apk with a fix for an AdMob crash and other minor bugs.

Great! No ads you said? I think I've screwed up something about ads in the first apk, are you using the first or the second link?
Anyway, thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help
Trying the second apk i only used it for a very short amount of time so maybe thats why. Will let you know tom when i used it fully! And you're welcome!

As soon as I opened the app the circle was larger than the screen, like the screenshot below.
I don't know if it's a problem related to my 'custom' DPI, but all my others applications looks fine.
Device used: Galaxy S Advance (GT-I9070).

Uhm... that's weird. I've updated the .apk, which is now in the original post, can you please try it and see if it works okay? If it doesn't, could you report you screen size and density?
P.s: since this updated, I've changed the package name, so it'll shows up twice. Remove the older one

That's great!!
I've uploaded the final version, the one I'm going to publish to Google Play, if no more bug pop-ups. Can you please test it once again? I'd be incredibly grateful
If there were anyone with a 7" tablet, I'd be really great to find out if it displays correctly and view rotates
Testing on a Samsung Galaxy Ace II X(GT-S7560M). Works great.
Actually been using it for something a bit differently then intended.
I'll explain.
I have a habit of getting into something. For example reading forums, games, reading information on how to develope Apps\Websites and I end up chain smoking without thinking about it. But with your app every time I go outside for a smoke I start the timer which I set for 5 minutes.
So like I said not the intended purpose I know. But is working great for me.

That's actually interesting, I thought I had managed to fix them, I must look into it more carefully. Thanks a lot for the report
Added a new .apk. It adds Russian translations and should have fixed the bug reported by @MufcTK (can you please test it again and report whether it's still present? )
