Bitcoin is not anonymous, but finding out who did what is damn hard.

Pretty cool. This is like a spiritual successor to WebOS, which was awesome btw.

Excellent use of tax dollars, freedom of speech, and small government.
They could have just come and asked here.

You must have already have root but since they mentioned it's a Samsung phone then all you do is find a CWM/Rooted kernel tar and flash via Odin then do the steps below.

adb -d shell

sqlite3 data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

sqlite> update system set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock'; sqlite> .exit

exit

Reboot from there and the lockscreen is bypassed.

Remember kids, use this for good and not evil muahahhahaahhaah

How fun would it be if you could program it with facial recognition and replace con attendants with their fursonas? :D
