CyanogenMod users read now! - G1 General

Ok so i was on twidriod checking the newest tweets, and i see a tweet that AdrianK sent starting basicly how Google sent Cyanogen notice telling him to stop making roms becuase he is distributing Googles closed sorced apps. Gtalk, maps, ect. Check this link and see for urself. Its time for us to show google how we feel about them sending notice for using their closed source apps". So let us show google their wrong doings in restricting the moding of the android os and the stock apps included! Below is the link to the article!
http://androidandme.com/2009/09/hacks/cyanogenmod-in-trouble/

I wonder if other ROM developers also received a Cease and Desist letter from Google. ... More than perturbing.

can u make a public poll on this thread to act as a petition?
"should google leave cyanogen alone" yes/no

infact, il do one right now...

Geez, first we have to root our g1's to get full access, then we have to run a script/app to actually install as many apps as we please, now this??? **** google they are turning into ****ing apple. Open source my ass ****ing hole.
My g1 broke and I sent it to get fixed, if this **** keeps up I'm selling it when it gets back and waiting for the sholes or something not backed by ***** ass google.

heres the link
please sign ur name (by way of voting ofcourse)

We need to get ahold of the home, work, email boxes of the higher apps and google, get a good nice petition and flood the hell out of thier in boxes
You promised us open source google
Don't worry cyan, think you got everybody's back here at xda

Wow what bull****! This is going to crush the android community..

check the link above in garok89's pot he also has a thread starting a poll everyone filter over there

Everyone here has a reason to thank cyan, his kernels, his recovery, his roms. All other roms have something from cyan in them anymore not just his own
To not support cyan is to not support jf who got this ball rolling, cyan just took it and ran with it

They need to leave him alone, bottom line. Hes doing nothing but helping Google out in my eyes.

They did try. Eventually they gave up. Even XDA got notices and threats from them back in the day. I think off side anonymous file hosting made it hard on them to shut everyone down.

How about this;
Cyanogen should just TAKE THE CLOSED SOURCE JUNK OUT!!!
The closed source stuff will still make its rounds, it will just need to be installed separately.

They should offer him a job.

This is what I keep thinking. Everyone is making a big deal about it. And while I do agree google should go **** themselves, it seems that unless I'm missing something, he should just release the updates w/o these apps. You then add them in to the zip, right click, resign, and proceed as normal.

Its funny. Your ethics as a human. You lack being. You say we steal for what? Probex is way better then anyone you have. Any day of the week. Your creations are posted on the internet making them public domain. We do not steal as you claim. Any thing our members ever post on spj. Has been and is monitored to have full throwback to authors' site post originated from.Nothing is hosted on our site. but as our Sr admin weesje pointed out you Take probex work. change file names and all. Then host his work. Come on i call it like i see it.You are in the Wrong.....then you try to attack our site? thats why ips were banned.the ones hammering us.don't act like you didn't.I got your ips from it.Your attempt failed.But mine didn't now did it...As both your sites went down. All i need to say on that. respect is given until lines are crossed.Communication is the key to any confrontation. With your mind train the world would be a messed up place. Next time hand this like men.
Sincerely Your friendly neighborhood

lol If it isn't im sure probex give credit. As for what they repacked and reposted it was. Bottom line.Just know this what was done is done.Probex is signed by ms for his tf2 themes for work of tp2.. All his work .Including what they repacked is copywrite protected. By ms. Lawyers are already on it.what was done was wrong majorly on other partys end. That has been proven. Mod can close this thread.
lol Lawers when authorisation is given , translation too was authorised
don't speak when you don't know
see my preceding answer or probably like modos on SMJ you see only what you want to see
credit is given to probex : see in the titles : By PROBEX , or you are blind when it is not your writing
Totallly stupid discussion , no sense with you
XDA's people will appreciate :

1 thing I learned from that link...
If about a few hundred of us get together and report a specific app malicious it gets auto removed haha
LOL
What is the world coming to...?
Airpush is nothing but adware in my opinion. Infecting your system with advertsements in places they shouldnt be.
Also if people that make malicious software start implementing airpushs code to access the notification bar.... Thatd really be frustrating.
I for one would NEVER download an app that uses this method to advertise. The developers deserve to make money, but not by annoying the hell out of the consumer.

Open Platform is Open. Gonna have to deal with this stuff until Google is intelligent enough to publish Official, Enforced UI guidelines and start policing their marketplace better.
Unbelievable
I hate it when apps put something up there advertising their other apps, I will rage so hard if this pops up one day.
it's one thing to have ads within apps that run on their own, but to inject them into the notification/windowshade is beyond intrusive. no way in hell would I install anything that utilizes this
This is against the market rules.... report any app with this...
Google has already blocked/removed some apps doing this. Personally, I don't think its bad... have a full/clean screen for gaming, and I can just drop-down and clear without my screen being an ad....
o well, just report it.

Lol. No, it's not against the rules.
Google only removed the apps because of the number of people that reported them as MALICIOUS. That goes to show how little Google Polices their marketplace, though. They had absolutley no clue about this. It was just an overreaction on their part in those cases.
It's not against market rules, and it's not against the UI guidelines. Google needs to crack down. This would never happen in i.e. iOS or WP7 where they apps are actually checked before allowed to be posted to the marketplace. They'd get rejected in a new york setting.
And there is too much wrong with that. The notification bar is not for Ads. I don't even think Applications like Beejive/Trillian/etc. should be allowed to put their huge "Hi I'm running" things in the notification bar, either. It makes getting to the notifications too clunky esp with how much room these things take on a 4" screen...
^
The app that was removed, the developer wrote a very nice article stating that it violated policy and that is why his app was removed from the market, without any warning.
It is BS, I dont mind having ad during the game (like the flash ad in the browser).
But it is definitely a malware if there is ad popup from my desktop taskbar without opening anything

Windows 7 Google Phone Market - Coming Soon!

I'd like a market that doesn't forget my downloads and break my links. Other than that, they can make it look like 1998 Geocities page for all I care.
What's up with all the hating on the new design? That's just the page that opens up the first time! Who knows what the rest of the market is like and how they sort and list their apps. I'm just saying don't be so quick to judge it.
I'd like a market where you can get rid of the god damn pay apps that are utterly useless or don't use or ever plan to use again.
For instance.. OpenHome.. It's old crap and no one uses it anymore yet it contributes to "My Apps" clutter. I have a decent collection of pay crap I simply don't use, and don't ever intend to use again.. In 2 years our "My Apps" list is going to be stupidly long and a burden. Google needs a "Delete from account" option.

It's funny, because there are a lot of people that think WinPhone7 looks great (I being among them) but it is certainly a polarizing design. There are many people that you do, indeed, speak for. Nobody seems to be in the middle, that's for sure. You love it or you hate it.

New, made me lol glitch

So today, i decided to update my camera firmware. When i clicked update, it took me to samsung apps, which needed an update. So i wait for that to get done, then have to exit samsung apps and in the camera check for update again. It loads samsung apps and downloads the camera update. So i go to the apps drawer, click on Camere Firmware to install it, and this pops up on the screen:

Lol, took me a second. "Now in progressing" Bad translations go!
I remember seeing bad engrish when doing an update check as well. I just tried it again and when I press Check Version by Network, I get a popup advising me that "It willoccur additional fee. Will you continue?"

Fruit Cake Maker [90% there]

So Fruit Cake Maker is finally on the last stages of its creation. Either today or tomorrow you will be able to play with it. I cut the paid version out in favor of just an ad supported version, and i have laid a road map for updating it for the rest of next year.
So with the great news fresh in the air, i have commandeer this post once again to ask you guys for your help. You see, i can program, but i cant draw for shiznet.
So with all that said, if anyone would like to create an icon, for Fruit Cake Maker, i would really appreciate it, and will give you full credit!
the standard icon is 72x72 and png.
_________
btw:
once Fruit Cake Maker is out and about, i will begin work on an application to ease searching for new builds.
the goal of the app will be to back up your data. clear it! and cache. set the server to connect to, and launch the setup so you can create the fake account connect to moto and try to update.
if more people can test more often, we will be finding more builds like 2.3.5 or who knows, maybe even ics
Brilliant idea!! What about copyrights etc etc though? For example all the purchased apps that will be distributed? Or am I missing the point (probably am..)?
it dosnt touch cache or data, so none of the users personal data or apps will be included on the zip, the app will make.

Copyright infringement will apply to those who are actually bundling paid apps alongside the ROMs, it will not affect FCM as FCM is a means to make backups and helping others if they don't know how to upgrade to the latest ROMs.
It's the responsibility of the ROM owner to make sure that he/she isn't bundling paid apps with the ROM.
Brilliant idea I say. "p
