Could you please remove spyware UC browser, which redirects both web data and user information to its own site? We need a clean ROM.

can't you just uninstall the UC browser before you start putting in your account information?

Well, you can only uninstall the UI shell of the UC browser, not the low-level code. Just like you can remove IE from Windows but IE dynamic libraries are still there. I guess DFT is supported by the company behind UC browser so they add it into the ROM. This is understandable but we need a clean ROM after all.

Totally unacceptable that UC Browser is in it. What kind of access does the app have? What do the lower level chunks do? Ditto on wanting a clean ROM. Can ChevronWP7 sponsor a clean ROM?

Totally unacceptable is your post :mad: This rom has been given by free and its use is not compulsory. If you want some thing different just do it! but not blame the developer. A THANKS would be enough. Best regards,

I have an issue with this rom. I install it just fine and it starts up. I can initially access the sideloaded apps that are installed (bazaar, Registry Editor), But once i sync it to zune, i can no longer access any of the sideloaded apps. When i tap on the sideloaded apps, the screen flashes a little then nothing. I also cant install anything from my computer with the error (Deployment FAILED with the following ERROR: 0x81030120). Even legitimate dev registration (student account) didn't help.

After the 4th time to flash this rom i think i figured it out. Before syncing with zune, i changed the following registry values.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"=""
"PortalUrlInt"=""

So far it seems to be working. Not sure if changing these registry values is what helped but my focus is staying unlocked and working fine :)

Shining start for DFT Sammy. Can some one comment on speed and visual enhancements ?

Also, can we use any app that will enable file transfer over BT ?

    It's not that much of a departure from the Stock ROM, but a good start nonetheless.
    It has the wifi internet sharing option enabled, which was not present in the stock ROM for me.
    Also a major reason why battery life is so fantastic for me (17 hours, 92% with moderate usage, whatsapp, 2 push email accounts and location on) is because I don't have HSDPA/3G on this no. Which means I can toggle to Edge. This wasn't there in the stock ROM too.
    The tweaks mentioned by the OP and the removal of a few apps might have made the system snappier and battery friendly too.

    It's a good start mate. This isn't a spit and polish job. It's a good custom ROM.

    Very informative and thank you for taking the time!

    Question - Does "FullUnlock" not include Carrier/Network Unlock? After installing this ROM, my phone is still locked to AT&T.

    I am assuming then that although MAGLDR hacks the bootloader and DFT ROM offers full root access, the Network is still locked unless I do an IMEI unlock.

    Quoting from Focus wiki:
    Formatting, Flashing, upgrading, downgrading OS and firwmare doesn't affect Network lock (SIM lock).
    Locks are in NVRAM - you do not overwrite this section by flashing firmware or formatting.
    If the device is already SIM unlocked, flashing/updating/downgrading/formatting/etc the ROM will keep the phone unlocked.

    So yes, your phone will still be locked to AT&T until you will enter your NCK code (unlock via IMEI).
