Hint for some desperate developers who wants to trade ADP1 for G1. You can put the G1 firmware. Your phone will be full locked except for the sim card I think, but you will have G1 firmware. Just have to flash it, but still I didn`t think that this is the solution... I see one possible solution for dealing with the situation: To have 2 versions for developers. The first version will be totally unlocked, but it will not support the full market. The second version will lock only these dirs which contains the paid apps. The second version of the firmware will lock only the dirs and the processes which control the copy/protection of the apps. There could be flaws, but I will be happy to read your comments about it. It is a possible solution? JQB?
