[General Topics] Chainfire:
I will not do anything with this, or publish how. But you can be assured the "warez" guys from that one site will figure this out within a day or so as well...

As most of you will know I am a software developer by trade, with some commercial offerings from my company.

And then there was Marketplace. For commercial devs, something nice to have. But if you have followed the news, the piracy protection for commercial developers is not much to speak of. See this document http://download.microsoft.com/downl...tplace for Mobile Anti-Piracy White Paper.pdf.

I will refrain from quoting the obvious mistakes in this document, if you give this thing a read, you will notice them soon enough. What it all comes down to is that there is no copy protection, not even at the advanced level, at least if they implement it in the way I interpret from reading that document.

So today I started up Marketplace and it worked. Hurrah. The current level of protection is making sure the CAB files are deleted upon install - which is obviously not a way to protect anything - but even this, I thought, should easily be circumventable.

Now, because I wanted to see how fast it could be done, I went with a hunch instead of doing any investigation. And that hunch worked like charm. It took me less than five minutes to circumvent this "protection", and get the ability to save the CABs the MarketPlace app downloads to a different folder. As the CAB file is the same for every downloader, you could just give this CAB you payed for out to all your friends.

Obviously I will not disclose the method, because that would be working against other commercial developers, and ultimately myself. It's just to let you know how ridiculously easy it is, and to give fair warning to those looking to sell apps on the Marketplace.

So, the moral of the story is... WTF MICROSOFT?

I know firsthand there is no such thing as perfect copy protection, but this is just plain ridiculous.

What we really need is for apps to be able to use our own copy protection schemes... you know, like the good web-based app stores out there.

EDIT: l3v5y has also succeeded in doing something similar, and it seems the WMPowerUser admin also found another easy way to do it... Yay, and it ain't even out yet!
[General Topics] :
Not even 12 hours after launch...that's pretty quick ;)
[General Topics] maati:
Oh noes.... that's not good!

Imagine Microsoft reads this and decides to offset tomorrow's Marketplace launch...

Or even worse, Microsoft launches the Marketplace but developers decide not to submit their apps because they're concerned that their apps get pirated.
[General Topics] ratchetnclank:
Thats what happens when devices aren't locked down.
[General Topics] mr_Ray:
That sounds bad, but it's really no different to how things are today. Perhaps there are some apps that have more security than either nothing or a serial key, but none that I use have anything more sophisticated.

Even as a developer myself, I'd easily take this over some DRMfest.
[General Topics] Farmer Ted:
So, if I'm reading this correctly, when you buy something from marketplace it's not tied into your username with a password like most apps? Instead, you just buy it and it installs the app, but doesn't give you a cab? Yeah, I don't think it's that hard to work around that and get a cab for yourself. Some of the cheaper apps at Handango are like that. Can you re-download an app onto a new device or if you have to hard reset, and is it free or do you need to buy download protection like form Handango?
[General Topics] loomx:
Good, copy protection pisses me off, all it does is piss of the genuine users. We have to deal with codes and activation to be legit, while people getting it free, just click here and there, copy a code here and huzah.

Copy protection doesnt work, someone will always find a way around it. Unless its linked to a windows live profile/xbox live profile. Which I can see probably happening when they bring out Zune on mobile phones, which sounds like it might be sooner rather than later! :D
[General Topics] l3v5y:
I did something like this earlier... MS haven't quite got security done yet, though my guess is the iPhone is no better...
[General Topics] vexingv:
I'm really surprised by the lack of any drm; what's the point of signing in w/ one's Windows Live account? The easiest thing to do is to associate valid applications w/ one's Window's Live account. That's what itunes does for music at least (I don't know about apps as I don't have an iphone/ipod touch). Of course, what would happen is that an internet connection of some form is needed when the application is first installed, which could become inconvenient.
[General Topics] alabij:
The truth of the matter is that the percentage or ratio of people who would bother to do this is pretty small. Most WinMo usersbarely even know how to setup e-mail not to mention install a cab file.

Most of the people in this forum already know how and where to get cracked apps or warez if they wanted too. I don't see this so called "flaw" as being an issue to MS or developers.
[General Topics] fatmonk:
Must admit that I find it a bit worrying that your not able to make a backup of the applications you buy by taking a copy of the cab file somewhere safe.

After having sent back 4 HTC phones (two different models) in the last 10 months, and having an SD die on me I'd really like to know that I have a backup of anything I've paid for.

Can anyone confirm if its possible to reinstall something you've paid for through the Marketplace app if it gets removed from your phone, or you get another phone? ie if you log into Marketplace with the same Lice ID does it show apps that you've bought but which aren't on the phone your connected with?

If I look at an app that I have installed through Marketplace there is no install button anymore and Marketplace tells me that it is installed... so no obvious way to get the application back...

Not enough free apps on the UK store for me to mess about with really (have installed Shazam trial but don't want to risk uninstaling it just to see what happens).

[General Topics] thedicemaster:
looks like it keeps track of all apps you purchased.
[General Topics] Vledderos:
ow well, I guess it's a matter of time when there will be sites that point to all the cabs available on upload sites and stuff. Just like those sites exists for iphone/ipod (appulo.us for example)

I guess that's what happens when people see that there a lot of apps available on other country stores..

what do you think...
[General Topics] Vledderos:
double post
[General Topics] fatmonk:
Hi dicemaster,

How did you try this? Uninstalling and reinstalling on the same phone or another phone? Or the same phone after a hard reboot / content erase?

I'm just interested to know from what state you can get back to your purchased applicationsand whether is purely your windows live id that connects you to your purchases or if there is some device specific stuff checked as well.

Cheers,

FM
[General Topics] vijay555:
Is there anything to stop Software Authors implementing (or continuing to use) their normal Serial number protection systems?

Looking at the Market Place, there are obviously some of the Big Names we all know and love, and I don't see why they would remove protection systems they have in place already, unless it was a MarketPlace requirement.

Personally, I can't say I'm at all impressed with the MarketPlace implementation - it heralds back to the early days of PocketPC. Maybe they're going for lowest common denominator hardware support, but frankly even the relatively poor Android marketplace on Hero is massively better. And the Appstore even more so. And I think Cydia tops most of them!

Let's hope that the MarketPlace at least drives prices down.

[General Topics] zim2323:
I am assuming it's more difficult then just going to \Windows\AppMgr\Install folder while the installer is running and copy the CAB file to another location. This is how I get the CAB files from PC only installers.

I personally use SKTracker a lot. I take a snapshot before, and then during the install and see what has changed. That generally tells me right where any install files/CABs are that I need to grab.
[General Topics] Chainfire:
Microsoft does not support your own serial systems. There is no information you can compare runtime vs purchases either, so you can't roll your own. Well ok, you DO actually have device ID information you could use, but that way purchasers can only run the application on the phone they actually bought it on. It is not clear how 're-download' information will be transmitted. If that also transmits a device id, then it is possible to roll your own, though it would be pretty nasty.
[General Topics] Farmer Ted:
If you go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync on your PC, you'll probably find an archive of many things that you installed over active sync.

SK Tools is a good way to re-pack any installed programs into cabs. I would guess that it works with programs from Market Place.

I know that the T-Mobile Dash can be hacked to enable voip, so that means that it can talk via a wifi connection. Has anyone tried to enable UMA on the Dash? Seems like it would be possible, although I have no idea how difficult it may be to actually do it.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Doesn't need to be hacked to talk via Wi-fi check out SIP software then all you need is a provider, know members have done it, my old provider had it as default on WM6 ;)

There is alot of info in a thread on Dev & Hack.
[HTC Excalibur] mgbgt68:
Stylez, I know about sip, but I'm talking about UMA with seamless transition from wifi to cell and back. T-Mobile has some non-WM phones that do this. I tried one, a Nokia, earlier this year, and it worked OK, but I wanted my WM, so stuck with the Dash. Any other suggestions?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
mgbgt68,

I was looking @ UMA and very much doubt that you can on Dash, seen than some nokia's etc but imagine that it's built in and not as additional software.

Good luck :)
[HTC Excalibur] mgbgt68:
Stylez, I expect you are right. It seems a shame that the Dash, with wifi and cellular hardware built in, and the ability (with sip) to talk via either connection, can't have that seemingly tiny added capability of switching from one to the other. But, I suppose that if it could be done, the new Dash would have UMA since T-Mobile is a major proponent of it. Oh, well...
[HTC Excalibur] ZeeJM:
I believe the T-Mo Shadow supports UMA, and it runs Windows Mobile....

[General Questions and Answers] Sean D.:
I REALLY hate the placement of the SIP changer when the soft keyboard is up. There are so many times when I am typing that I accidently hit that tiny little *&^%$% triangle, and it slows whatever I'm doing down until the damn chooser opens. :mad::mad::mad:

I'm looking for a way to either eliminate it, and possibly put the chooser it's self under the settings menu.

Start > Settings > System > SIP changer.

Or is there a way to just hide the bottom bar all together while typing? I know this is possible, because the bottom bar is hidden while using Pocket CM.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jzraikes:
Hi.

I recently tried to root my Magic to install CyanogenMod, but it didn't work. I can't remember exactly what I did, but I followed various tutorials that I found on this site and other similar ones. I couldn't find a tutorial that went all the way from unrooted phone to rooted with CyanogenMod installed, so I switched between a couple of different ones that seemed easy to follow.

Since breaking my Magic I have tried various methods to get it working again and used google and XDA posts, but I can't do it and I'm getting quite frustrated.

Please can someone provide steps to follow that will let me access my Android OS (preferably with the latest CyanogenMod installed, but that isn't as important).

At the moment I can access fastboot on the phone, but not the main OS or the Recovery ROM I installed (cm-recovery-1.4).

I have '32B' (not sure what it means though) and 'G'

Thank you in advance for any help.

then download android sdk and install it.

then type in a command window:

once your phone has booted in recovery:

Hi All

My wife's recently got a Hero but she's found a problem with her long nails making typing difficult (capacitive screens don't work with fingernails!)

I have noticed under Windows/Start Menu there is a Settings directory (at the same level as the Programs directory), but Settings directory is completely empty. Well, at least it is empty on my device.

If by some chance this is indeed possible, is there a "%...%" install variable that equates to directory?

Under performance, I increased "the Max Connections Server" to 12-16, "Max Connections Total" to 32, and disabled "Reduce Max Persistent HTTP Connections"

Turning on "Automatic memory cache" under user prefs made Opera non responsive and crash happy.

Other than that - it runs well; hasn't crashed on me yet.

spoof user agent "2" for smalller font....
