HTC has issued a cease-and-desist order to Shipped-Roms community, led by Conflipper, to “cease and desist” HTC says it’s a “serious criminal offence” not just in the US but also in the EU and other countries where similar laws are enforced. The Android community isn’t going to take this one lying down, with one of them saying HTC should only thanksgiving us for fixing their crappy roms, if it wasnt for Rom Development they would sell half of their phones.”]
