Jesus Christ, just let it go already. The app is already ridiculously cheap for what it offers, the dev is always updating it with fantastic features ( the widgets are freaking amazing on 1.7 ) . Having paid for the app doesn't make you entitled to everything you want.

The touch area becomes too small to be of real use. If you would like to have your opinion taken seriously, consult the design guidelines.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] -XIV-:
Yes, you are correct. However, perhaps the developer would implement "sliding" to alleviate such. I'm actually surprised that was never used as it seems more user friendly.

Funny you use "consult the design guidelines" for your bashing yet you fail to abide by your own defense oblivious to Android's own "Slide Views" in the guidelines.

Which, using your logic, the dev should take a closer look at the Android guidelines as well, right?

Now what shall you attempt at a response?

Stop complaining, guys. The dev will make changes when/if he feels they're necessary. Paying for an app doesn't make you a customer, shareholder, or stockholder. Paying for an application is the equivalent of making a donation to the dev, for all the hard work he/she does. Acting like you're entitled to dictate the direction development should take, is ridiculous and childish. The dev isn't doing anything illegal or immoral, so get over it... Either use Falcon, or move on to something else...it's your choice.

Reformed App Pirate

I used to use Windows Mobile back in the day and never paid for any app because it was so easy to pirate anything. I installed Android on my HD2 and dual booted until I found android replacements for every windows mobile use case scenario and went android full time right about when NAND android came to the HD2. I chose android because I knew I could pirate anything I wanted and I wanted to continue my ROM addiction. After about a year on Android I was finding it a bit annoying doing all the work to continue pirating so I picked a few of my favorite APS and paid for them on the market. As time went on I gradually replaced all my pirate apps with market apps. The ease and affordability finally sucked me in along with some guilt and a desire to financially support the app development system. When Google went to 15 minute trial I was pissed and occasionally use pirate apps to test drive but still pay for my apps.

When the developer ran into the twitter token limit so early because of unused tokens and pirated tokens he had another win choice to make. Give up on gaining any more revenue for all his hard work or risk antagonising the XDA community. I personally think he made the right choice. Is using Plume before moving to Falcon and I use Twitter so much more because this app is so good. I want the developer to continue pushing this app forward for my own selfish benefit.

I realize those of you who have pirated apps are faced with the choice of giving up on your other apps or giving up on Falcon Pro. I made that choice long ago and have spent a couple hundred dollars in the last two years despite the fact my income has been going down. I have a clear conscience and pride that I'm contributing to a healthy app ecosystem. I hope more people on XDA embrace a healthy app ecosystem.

Re: [APP][Android 2.2+][3/11/2013] Falcon Pro for Twitter - v1.7

I've never used lucky patcher to pirate anything. I buy all my apps legally as I myself am a developer and wouldn't want people stealing my work. That I understand. But looking through my phone to see if I have it installed is just unethical. Especially when it fails the check even though I paid for the app. I shouldn't have had to resort to cracking an app I paid for. Otherwise I would've stolen it from the start. And paying for an app does not make me a shareholder. But it does make me a customer. How would u feel if u bought a samsung tv and took it home and it wouldn't turn on because the other one you have is an lg? The donation logic would work if falcon offered a free version but it doesn't.

Re: [APP][Android 2.2+][3/11/2013] Falcon Pro for Twitter - v1.7

Now THIS is something I can accept. Your points are logical, and thoughtful, and I agree with your premise. I'm not suggesting that everyone who installs Lucky Patcher is doing so for the sole purpose of pirating apps, only that the dev has clearly pinpointed it as a flagrant contributor to the piracy issues his app is facing.

However, Joaqim is not a company (nor are any of us who are developers) in the same sense that Samsung is. Every purchase on the Play Store should be made under the assumption that you're buying a product as is, with no guarantee of updates, continued support, etc... The only thing that we (as paying "customers") can logically expect, is that the app works as expected, at the moment we purchase it. Making any alterations to the app (theming, patching, etc) would effectively invalidate that expectation. Lucky Patcher alters the way the app operates, by bypassing its security checks, and as a result, anyone using LP can no longer safely assume that the app should function properly. LP breaks the apk, in the same way that improper theming could corrupt it.

My only problem with this particular issue is that most people (not including yourself) seem unable to put themselves in the dev's position... Unlike Samsung, Joaqim doesn't have a legal team to help with loss prevention issues (which piracy is)... His only true recourse is to enact his own methods to combat it. His solution may not be the best one, but it seems to be the only one he has at the moment. I think we, as a community, owe it to him and to ourselves, to help him find a solution that is equitable for everyone; he needs to be able to protect his app, and we need to be able to use it. Unfortunately, many people here are just whining, calling the dev names, threatening him, etc, and not helping the situation at all.

I totally understand him wanting to combat the rampant piracy. I would do the same. I just feel the way it was went about was wrong because as you can see paying customers are getting affected. And the lack of support he's providing for those people is virtually none which is kinda messed up
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jjhiza:
Re: [APP][Android 2.2+][3/11/2013] Falcon Pro for Twitter - v1.7

I agree. There must be a better way for him to protect this app, while still allowing legitimate customers to pay for it. I'm not sure how they do it, but companies like Square Enix and Hyperdevbox seem to have some pretty rigid and effective anti-piracy measures in place... Maybe Joaquim can take a page from their book.

Can somebody explain, in rational terms, what luckypatcher does for a phone (that is legal and ethical.) What exactly is luckypatcher allowing that running a phone without luckypatcher does not?

Frankly, luckypatcher's website is not clear on the subject...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jjhiza:
Re: [APP][Android 2.2+][3/11/2013] Falcon Pro for Twitter - v1.7

It CAN be used in an ethical manner, to patch the Play Store, and allow access to apps that may not be available in one country or another. I've used it on some of my older devices, when I was running MIUI (which doesn't always have access to the US Play Store), so I could install my Bank of America app, along with a couple others.

However, the line that states, "bypass premium applications license verification" is where the problem lies. That single line indicates that the app is designed to allow "premium" (read paid) apps to be cracked, which is the crux of the piracy issue here. That intent is what I, and so many other people, have a massive problem with. I refuse to believe that all the people who are complaining, are only using the app to patch the Play Store. Most are complaining that Falcon's new license check is violating their privacy, when some are, indeed, using LP to steal apps from hard working developers, and just won't admit it. The simple fact that the app does not appear in the Play Store should tell everyone that Google has issues with its purpose and intent, which is (primarily) app piracy.

Here's the website link for anyone who is curious to see what all this fuss is about... http://lucky-patcher.netbew.com/

Also, here's a direct quote from one of the xda mods, on how this site views Lucky Patcher, as seen in the thread here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28929442) :

Quote from eagleeyetom (xda moderator)

"Thread closed.

We won't take any further actions, but LuckyPatcher was designed and is to be a warez application. XDA takes warez policy deadly serious, so we will neverl, ever cheat the developers."
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] doogald:
[APP][Android 2.2+][3/11/2013] Falcon Pro for Twitter - v1.7

Thanks, I appreciate the explanation. With the exception of the last thing you wrote, I'm not sure that I agree that patching the play store to allow apps not available in your particular country is ethical, either. The play store is google's, and the rules are theirs. We accept that we will abide by those rules when we first enter the store. Just because a consumer disagrees with those rules, that doesn't mean that the consumer has a right to circumvent them. Just because a bank customer thinks that higher interest should be paid, it doesn't give the bank customer the right to rob the bank to make up the difference.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jjhiza:
Re: [APP][Android 2.2+][3/11/2013] Falcon Pro for Twitter - v1.7

You're 100% correct in your thinking. However, Google only has one Play Store... It's changed/modified according to a specific county's regulations (think China). At least this has been my understanding. In my example for instance, Bank of America simply doesn't exist in China where MIUI is made, so I had to find a way to make it available. Like I said though, your point is completely correct Imo.

I have to admit, all ignorant reply, have their own point. Well, I removed Lucky Patcher eventually, just to make way for Falcon.

But let me get this straight, no one have the right to judge all those Lucky Patcher users. Only god knows their real intention. Me, myself can prove that most of those ignorant/naive comment , not totally right although they have the point. 100% of my paid apps are purchased legally from Play Store. But which ignorant cares? Non. Well, if you still don't get what I'm trying to say, there's no hope anymore.

And....the saga of current falcon situation and off topics begins.

Sorry, but there are other ways to fix the Flash issue and if one insists, to game the Play Store to gets apps you're not entitled to because of the country you live in, but don't try and fool people-99% of people who have Lucky Patcher use it to pirate apps. The dev is no fool either I'm sure, and he's exercising his right to protect his work and his income.

Due to the latest changes in Falcon Pro I regret buying this service/product. It doesn't seem correct to remove another aplication for this aplication to work. When I bought it this disadvantage was not included and both aplications worked fine together.

On the Play Store in the description of the app it's not specified that Falcon Pro doesn't work if you have Lucky Patcher installed. Sooo that was awesome.

Re: [APP][Android 2.2+][3/11/2013] Falcon Pro for Twitter - v1.7

I'm going to attempt to spin the conversation into something positive...

There's obviously not going to be a change to the security check policy in the immediate future... Some of you are just going to have to deal with that fact. However, instead of just telling people to uninstall Lucky Patcher, I'll suggest an alternative to it... ROM Toolbox.

If you're using LP to block ads, don't want to lose that ability, but want to use Falcon as well, ROM Toolbox can fill the void. I use it to block ads, and it doesn't cause any problems with any of my apps. :)

However, if you're using LP to actively patch apps and avoid security checks, you need to understand that it is widely considered a prime candidate for app piracy. Google and xda both consider LP to be promoting warez, so everyone should understand why Joaquim has taken this hard stance against it.

I hope my ad blocking solution helps someone. Let's get back to supporting a great dev and a great app.
