Getting a little futher OT - I sometimes get comments from users of custom

Frankenstein-like firmware (kernel from here, apps from there, WiFi and
radio drivers extracted from standard firmware, well, you get the idea).

I can attest to this also.  I had a user with an alpha Cyanogen
firmware that even crashed when creating the private database folder
(whichi is done by SQLite).  I spent hours debugging his stuff and
then finally he updated his FW and it started working.  So now every
time I get a weird problem like that, my first question is if they are
using a custom ROM.

Been there too. Camera not returning images, Barcode scanner going nuts, etc. When I see something wierd I typically ask then to download my help-page - the http headers will often (but not always) hint when you have the "Frankenstein" syndrome.

I've also seen what appears to be developer boards being used with my Market-only apps - obviously "stolen" (but then again, they are free soo...). Those beasts are mighty weird it seems. IP addresses in Russia/Asia BTW.
