Probably because you're not clicking on EDIT.

Also, if you have an issue with something, click on the little button to the right of KARMA, and report what the problem is. (This is called the REPORT button.) That is all you need to do if you wish to get the attention of a moderator when you are having difficulties.

Do NOT create duplicate threads/posts. We consider this spam.

Install the KUAL launcher ;
Install the KUAL.firewall - leave the BBB (Block Big Brother) filter enabled ;
Install the KUAL.backdoor-lock (if it supports your device).

Ah - all to be found in the KUAL sticky thread.

I would say:

On the home page: Menu, then Settings, then menu again, then device info.

In Device Info I see only firmware version.
I want to ask about this
What does "Version 7.0 or later" mean? Where can I find this number?

It's the version of the backdoorlock hack, not the Firmware. Currently it seems to be at version 9, according to the "upstream" post.
