XDA never allowed talk about changing the IMEI and never allowed tools for doing so, at least as far back as I can remember and I've been here since 2007.

Mod Edit: Quoted Post Removed

I think because nowadays, most devices don't need heavy modifying. You are still going to get a percentage of people that love to tinker and modify, but a majority of people love how far android has come. Also devices used to not be unlockable, but now after a certain amount of time are all unlockable directly through your carrier or can be directly bought unlocked. These things made sense back in the day when you couldn't do it at all and it wasn't fair to be locked to a specific carrier but nowadays, as long as you have paid your device, you can unlock it and move to a different carrier after 60 days.

Try sim card in sim slot 2 it has a different imei and doesn't always get blacklisted.

Unfortunately, all foreign SIM cards have been blacklisted on US S23 devices after having limited support for almost 10 years. However, International Data Roaming will continue to work. For example, an S23 bought from AT&T and then unlocked CAN work with T-Mobile, but not with Rogers in terms of SIM cards.

This is the message you receive when you insert a blacklisted SIM card in your device. Even buying a new US variant won't do you any good.

Wait. Who will confiscate it? Depends on your country's law. It does have gps, but I don't know if government officals will confiscate it. You should look into that on google or ask a government offical.

I miss having notifications like Google Photo memories notification, YouTube notifications, Facebook notifications and etc like my previous phone, I have turned on everything but still don't get any notification, what's the solution? Thanks in advance 👍
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Deleted member 11872899:
This happens when you keep vivo.pem. after I have uninstalled it everything worked fine.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] carzakone333:
How to do it?
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] luontokoodaus:
People who have removed it have had more problems than they expected. Everything from no notifications at all, to massive battery drain (like up to 50% whilst you're sleeping) plus all sorts of force closing apps. The problem is, once it's gone, if it breaks something and you need to put it back, that's extremely difficult.

There's a reason why it is so difficult to remove. He thinks that because previously on much older Vivo phones, some people decided to remove it, and had only very minor anecdotal evidence. That it should be done on the X90 also.

You won't like to hear it, but the best thing you can do is decrease your reliance on cancerous garbage like Google and Facebook. My Youtube notifications work fine btw, and I don't have com.vivo.pem deleted. It's working for plenty of the rest of us. Just disable battery optimizations for those apps.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Deleted member 11872899:
Sry mate i have missed your reply somehow. Check the old debloat script which has the code to remove vivo.pem.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] extremecarver:
You can chose not to debloat vivo.pem, but only if you lock google play services in the recent apps drawer by calling it before via service code (need to do that on each reboot). It will work for all apps receiving push notices via google.

Clutch is needed because you cannot Autostart it as a service nor assign it high power use. Easier to just remove vivo.pem.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] luontokoodaus:
It doesn't work. Maybe it did with much older versions but it hasn't worked with any of the newer ones and for good reason.

If you have a specific problem with an app's notifications. Disable battery optimizations for that. Don't go and run a now completely broken debloat script. There's your free warning from the guy who is maintaining the current working script.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] chrisw05:
Did it freez up before you did all the tweaks and performance stuff? maybe some of them are conflicting with each other. Backup all your data and do a hard reset and do all you tweaks with a little time inbetween so you know what one starts giving you problems. Better yet try a custome rom they have all the tweaking done for you basicaly

Hi,

I cooked my first rom of Softbank X04HT with annoying USIM nag screen removed.

*** This ROM includes OS only ***

For unlocking issue, please see here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=414835

Other Mods:

- Sample Pictures, Wallpapers, Videos and Musics (.wmv) have been removed from the rom.

I didnt do many mods on this rom.... because I don't know how to... :)

Other Mods that I want to do if someone can help me:

- Remove all the default weather location (not from the full list, but the selected cities)

Finally, for people who want the mods, please PM me and keep the link for your own use. And don't forget, this is my first cooked ROM (by newbie) and use it as your own risk.

Thank you.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] riri22:
I have tried this ROM too, thanks to Sky Man:

1) yes it can run on any CID unlocked Diamond

2) yes it can make calls. I had exactly the same problem at first. You have to go to the phone/band settings: by default, it's set on 3G only. U've got to change this according with the service available where you live (automatic, GSM, try and see which setting works better for you)

3) the ROM was running fine and fast but I came a across a major bug, therefore I had to uninstall it: after the phone entered sleep mode there was no way to wake it up. Pressing the 'on' button would have no effect and I had to soft reset every time.

Thanks Sky Man for your hardwork anyway. Hope this can be fixed.

(I reinstalled telsta ROM and the bug has disapeared.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hailin.yu:
thanx,now i can use the phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Sky Man:
Thanks for your message.

There could be a chance that your radio doesnt work with my ROM (actually, the rom from Softbank). Since I didnt do any tuning or mods on the settings, and I have no problem of using the ROM, therefore, I guess the problem could be radio (Im just gussing)

Other people who used this rom pls comment on it ~

Thanks!

Not sure how to word this but hopefully it makes sense to someone who can help

When taking screen shots on my 21Ultra, it would then process a blue line around the area it thinks you would like to capture and you can crop the screen shot automatically from that, or re adjust.

My 23ultra doest do that. It just takes the whole screen them it's up to you to manually adjust

Is there a way of fixing this in settings ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Quazza:
Ok not a great pic but it looks like this. Puts a blue line around where it thinks you would like then you press the white circle in the blue square top right

Anyone ?

Anyone know how to disable the password for receiving corporate mail via microsoft exchange? It is v irritiating to key in password every 30 mins which is permanently set for microsoft exchange under my company policy. I can't turn off the password input once I installed the certificate cab given by my company.
[Networking] hotmail:
Are you referring to the device lock password? In other words if the phone is idle or in standby (just not being used) for 30 min or an hour, you need to enter a password to get back to the Today Screen? Or do you mean the password used by your Exchange server to connect and sync your email (the password that goes with your User ID and Domain)?
[Networking] Mark Crouch:
If the password is set by the EAS policy, you can only disable it temporarily - have a read of this post and this post for a couple of suggestions....

Hopefully one or both will prove helpful to you ;)

Mark.
[Networking] hotmail:
This is not entirely true. You can the prevent / disable the EAS password enforcement permanently if you prevent a registry key from being re-written. Or just "watch" it and overwrite it automatically every time it changes.

The link you referenced in the other thread, here, will only work until the next Exchange Server policy is pushed to the device. That can be several times per day. Here's a utility that will run in the background and PREVENT the policy from being applied indefinitely. I've used it for a couple of years with no issues.

Of course, if this isn't the "password" that madster is referring to then this won't help. But if it is then here's your solution. May your IT Dept have mercy on your soul....
[Networking] madster:
Dear both thanks for the advise. Let hope it'll work before the next security updated.

that's

a neat utility :D - thanks for sharing @hotmail ;)

[Windows RT General] ethical_haquer:
The solution is...Linux.
[Windows RT General] dj_tech1:
This is not the solution. After setup the app says that it cannot run because of the error and it has to be repaired. Only few apps have ability to display repair button. After clicking it nothing is getting repair. Also you cannot Update licenses in your Store account settings.

Setup without -Path command causes no "error badge" on apps list.

It worked before January 10'th. Now as above.

Still waiting for working solution...
[Windows RT General] tomgeniewang:
Thank you so much for the reply. Do you mean you are with the stock system and upgrade to the latest with Windows update but you still cannot sync your ms store license?
[Windows RT General] ethical_haquer:
I'm talking about forced updating.
[Windows RT General] tomgeniewang:
The appx file is directly from the MS store, so I guess the problem is not really with the file, it might be more possible to do with the app license. if some surface RT still got the synced licences, i guess this might work for them?
[Windows RT General] dj_tech1:
Yes. There is an error after clicking sync button.

Surface has reinstalled windows after 10.01.23. After that all updates where installed, including Update 3. There were no differences on apps problems before and after the updates.
[Windows RT General] tomgeniewang:
So do you mean you didn't get the updates from Windows update, but just get those updated via offline installers?
[Windows RT General] dj_tech1:
No, Windows Updates came from Windows Update. Windows Store updates only MS default apps, preinstalled with system.

First updates to 2016 rollup has to be installed manually.
[Windows RT General] tomgeniewang:
OK, I see. Thank you very much. I will try to delete those preinstalled apps and install them again manually to see if these ones works.

Sorry, just another question. Before you reinstalled the windows, were you able to sync that app license thing?
[Windows RT General] dj_tech1:
Nope.
[Windows RT General] tomgeniewang:
So, could you install apps from the windows store before January even the app license could not be synced?
[Windows RT General] dj_tech1:
Before January i was able to install apps and they licenses were syncing. All went down after 10.01.

So i'm here to find out is there any walk around.
[Windows RT General] tomgeniewang:
Oh, I see. Thank you very much. So it seems like it's the license issue, which needs to be worked around.
[Windows RT General] jonnyprogamer:
I think you can still get a developer license using powershell, maybe that will work
[Windows RT General] dj_tech1:
Some manual to make test?
[Windows RT General] jonnyprogamer:
I came back home now, i will try on x64 Windows 8.1 and send you the instructions
[Windows RT General] jonnyprogamer:
Btw if dev mode doesnt work it shouls be also possible to make a domain and enable a group policy to sideload apps
[Windows RT General] jonnyprogamer:
Ok i tested it on my Windows 8.1 x64 installation and they still gave me a free developer license, and in fact i was able to sideload AccuWeather for Windows 8, and it doesn't show the "X" symbol (error) in the start screen anymore!

The app still won't launch, but i think it's because of missing dependencies.

Here is how to get a developer license:

1) Run PowerShell as Administrator

2) Type Show-WindowsDeveloperLicenseRegistration

3) Sign in with your MS account when asked, and it will give you the license immediately for free :)

So in theory i successfully installed an Appx (because i don't get the X showing up on the start screen), im gonna try to get the dependencies now, i attached a screenshot.

[Windows RT General] dj_tech1:
@jonnyprogamer @tomgeniewang

For few weeks I've been testing fev systems and a lot of apps. Everything is great with apps sideloading, but there is one huge problem.

We need to find a solution that will work also in Windows 8.0

Why?

The developer license is valid only for 6 months. After this peroid of time we will be unable to run installed apps (if microsoft will turn off license server to renew license). So, the most logical solution is to make apps run on Windows 8.0 with lifetime license. If we will make it, we can use it also on 8.1.

I'm studying MS docs...

Is there straight answer to easy get developer license that do not expire (without joining the domain) or sideloading product key?

BTW: These bastards made something in San Andreas servers, because it stops to load... It works only on Windows 10...
