I'm hoping Titan gets rid of that for his Power Kernel fixes. *Sigh* I get that Nokia probably doesn't want its phones usable illegally, but f'ing a, that's just bs in my opinion. Way to 'fix' stuff. (And this is like my first time being serious in disagreement with Nokia about something they did with Maemo that I can remember in a while).

If possible, it would be great to see a patching utility, that just overrides the parts of the kernel that are responsible for this.

(In the meantime, I don't even use this yet, though I intend on getting around to installing it eventually, but it's rather annoying to see Nokia actually blocking it.)

P.S. Mohammad, I love all the help you provide on this forum and everything you do, so don't take this to be hostile against you in any way, but just so you know, when you say:

Reverting it is easy, just get the source of PR1.2's kernel and compile the c files against the PR1.3 headers.
People like me (and I actually try to look things up and figure them out on my own) don't see easy. We see:

"reverting it is easy, just get the [mythical code stored ... somewhere], and compile the [some sort of file type/category of file] [word implying opposition or comparison to, but which may have hidden programmer-only nuances] Pr1.3 [heade - what're those, how do you compile 'against' them?]."

But hey, it's STILL useful information. Just needs a lot of looking up. Nevertheless, it seems like it's only "easy" if you already know what you're doing.
