Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. You have nothing to be afraid of.

We are here to make good games, but not to rune something.

As the game is free, we still need to earn somehow. Beside of the game we have integrated : Flurry analytics, AdMob ads and TapJoy self advertising. Almost all of the permissions are coming form TapJoy.

We are asking your location to improve our ads, and to know where people play our game.

Btw, this is not our first game. We have the same game released for iPhone two years ago. You can check our website, to see that we are working for more then two years : www.unnyhog.com

I guess that nobody would have complained if there had not been one person who pointed everybody to it.

Well, just have a look at the millions of people who install Gameloft games. (I guess you've got one, too.) They require a lot of permissions as well. Is anybody complaining about that?

EDIT: That doesn't mean that I am not concerned about my privacy. I am. That's why I don't use any Gameloft apps.
[Android Apps and Games] redglyph:
Nice, overall it's an interesting game, a few remarks though.

Firstly I didn't see why this game needs to know the phone identity & status (one can imagine it's to freeze when there's a phone call?), and the precise GPS location. This has been mostly answered here, but the designer should at least explain why in the Google Playstore to avoid further users asking the same question.

Then there's the ads part, is there a paying version on the way? How does one get rid of this?

Finally, on the design itself, a few enhancements could be made:

- the rotation should be kept on Z axis, otherwise it's most inconvenient to handle (many 3D designs have this flaw, I know, but still...); maybe a nice plus would be to be able to rotate with a multi-touch rotation gesture

- the "menu" is not clear, and there is no explanation feedback on actions to confirm what the user thinks he's doing which makes it very confusing. For example, what is the circle with a dot inside? Why is the clock like a button since there's no interaction with it? This last once could be used to freeze the time, giving room for an extra control (to change options for example).

Keep up the good work!

I'm regarding the permissions of every app before I install it. I'm from Germany, I love freedom und privacy. And nevertheless, I would prefer to pay an amount of real money, than to pay with my privacy.

Again, to show ads you don't need to know, where I am in the world with the GPS!!

But, from now on, I will be more silent.

[Android Apps and Games] benkxda:
Thanks for clarifying a bit. Best way to deal with those permissions in my opinion is, you explain in detail for what every single permission is needed. And this declaration should be added to the OP, noticeable for everyone who's interested in this game.

It is completely normal, that iOS users have no problems with any permissions as they don't get any information about what the app is requesting (afaik).

I also think, the one post started the complains. But honestly, we need a good balance between permissions and complains. A free game is usually bound with an ad system. If the developer describes why he needs those permissions (in this case essentially to keep the game free), everybody will see, those permissions keep the game free of charge.

Users, stay alerted about permission requests, but think about what you get for.

Developers, explain exactly why you are requesting permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] nikwen:
The point is that if you decide to use an ad system like admob, you do have to add these permissions. You cannot say "I'll leave GPS out" or your app will crash.
[Android Apps and Games] adrian1996:
If you have Android 4.3 you have permission control.

So you can select the permissions granted to the app.

Look at: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/app-ops-brings-granular-permissions-control-to-android-4-3/
[Android Apps and Games] shindok:
Thank your for this great game. I think we should stay on topic and help those guys develop a good game instead of crying about some permissions.

Feedback:

game runs smooth on my HTC One but i discovered that the beats icon stays activ while the game is running in background maybe you can fix this :)

a suggestion would be to add some color themes to choose from (orange, red, blue etc.)
[Android Apps and Games] benkxda:
That's right, and you brought me to another thought: The developer himself should decide wisely which ad-network he will join. Because suddenly there are people, interested, but won't install the app because of the permissions requested by the app/by the ad-network. And with those people you won't make money. And others may install, but kick out the ad-network with adblock mechanism, firewall, privacy protecting software - we are armed very well.

Choosing the wrong ad-network can lead to low rating, your users fight against your permission requests and of course your image can be ruined. So again, choose wisely.
[Android Apps and Games] nikwen:
I completely agree with that. The only problem I see with today's app networks is that all solutions I know require these permissions.

One thing to note though: In this forum you won't find the average smartphone user. Most people here are rooted and can therefore block ads.

In my experience most (normal) people do not really care about permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] hutzdani:
May i ask why you have a smart phone ?

1. GPS location

2. Triangulated Radio location

3. WiFi Location

4. Google Play Store - based on location provides ads / sugestions already known what you have installed.

5. Online cloud back up for your contacts and wifi passwords e.c.t

6. you use the Google search engin - i don't need to begin to tell you what tracking and locating and ad feeding that does based on you as a user.

7. Bet you have cookies enabled

my list can go on, but you are worried about a game sending you adverts, hell if you so much as download anything from google play thats a game its pulling ads to you.

most people here can get of their high horse regarding this, your fighting an up hill battle
[Android Apps and Games] lukes91:
Very nice game :) good work :good:
[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:
my point was not a flamewar, obviously you are just trying to start one.

My sole concern was, that they should offer the same game without all the privacy related stuff. Even if its paid, or just a demo version to get people to try and than buy the full. As the German guy above stated, id rather pay that Euro or two than get all the privacy stuff onto my phone.

And yeah im taking care of most of the things you bulleted up.

Cant really stop radio triangulation, even on "dumb" phones.

And as others have stated, if i will want to play it hard enough ill just use firewall, xprivacy, adblockers, possibly even vpn servers to obscure my location and data, and they wont get any money from users like me, who are xda aware.
[Android Apps and Games] Suvitruf:
Guys, we loaded new build to GP. It'll be available during 2 hours.

Were removed some permissions, that previously were required for the game.

In particular those, that required access to the location.

I believe that naturally the programming for 900MHz needs to be loaded into a 850 MHz model in order for the 900MHz to work, i have already modified the hardware for the conversion, now its only for the software.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyc1003:
So I'm trying to flash CM 10.1 onto my KFHD 7, and I've installed TWRP. Now when I try to boot up so I can move the ROM onto the device storage, it won't fully boot. I get the regular Kindle fire logo, then the blue one, then the flashing one as normal, but then it flashes, goes back the the first, then the blue, and finally opens TWRP. In TWRP, I can't get the device to mount so I can see it on my computer, so I'm not sure how to get the ROM onto the device to flash. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neighbor808:
You need to flash a custom ROM to boot. I really think the development or Q&A section should have a sticky regarding this issue, or at least Hashcode make note of it in his how-to guide on 2nd bootloader and recovery.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyc1003:
Thanks all. Stunts513, I'm trying it now, I'll let you know.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyc1003:
So there is no device with an issue in my device manager, I see Kindle Fire and under that is Android ADB Interface. But, when I do "adb push ..." all I see is the same thing as if I just type "adb" and the file doesn't transfer. Sorry, I'm a noob.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
When typing adb push, it displays the help text? Type adb devices and see if it lists it, also make sure your command prompt is being run as admin, I probably should mention that in the tutorial, because I use windows 7 with uac disabled so I don't have to worry about that kinda stuff.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
My advice is to go to the Kindle Fire FirstAide thread on here. Run KFFA back to 7.2.3 and root from that simple script. Then use Hashcode's 7.2.3 bootimg and the TWRP he has on his thread. This way you have matching bootimg and you should not bootloop.

I would put the rom you're going to flash on the root of the SD card before flashing first as well. If you do bootloop, you can flash the rom anyway and save some hassle.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyc1003:
So my device shows up as "0123456789abcdef recovery" or something along those lines. Is this right (the ordered numbers and letters look kind of funny)? Also, I am an admin, so that can't be the problem.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
OK that's good that is how the device is supposed to show up. If it displayed the help text last time I'm guessing there was a typo in the adb push command.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neighbor808:
If you get frustrated or simply can't get ADB Sideload or ADB push to work, you may have to go into "Advanced", then "Reboot Bootloader" in TWRP and use KF First Aide to flash to 7.2.3 stock. From there, repeat the process of installing TWRP and Second Bootloader but put a custom ROM on your SD card before the procedure. Your fastboot drivers might not work, I know Stunts513 has drivers you can install.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyc1003:
Ok so when I wrote that, it was showing up when I typed "adb device," but it wouldn't push. I tried again today, triple checking my typing, but now it doesn't show up on "adb device," just the help menu. I just uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers with no luck.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyc1003:
Ok so I finally figured out the issue, it's really kind of silly. In your tutorial Stunt513, you show the push command like this:

Type this into the command prompt: adb push rom-or-gapps-name-goes-here.zip /sdcard/

All I had to do was replace the forward slash between the file name and 'sdcard' with a space. Problem solved. Thanks again for helping out!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFschizoid:
If I remember correctly you need the computer to unlock at htcdev no matter what. After that you need it to flash recovery through fastboot. Then you need it to use revolutionary after downgrading to one of the supported updates. I can't remember specifics, been a long time since I rooted my evo

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doom5:
Hi,

Just got a used Epic 4g today and have a question for you seasoned vets.

I've decided to run CM 10.1.3 stable since it seems like a fairly solid, well supported ROM. Can any of you recommend a custom kernel to go along with it? I'd like to be able to play around with overclocking, undervolting, or even some more governors,

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatchmt:
Honestly, I've had nothing but good experience using the kernel that ships with CM 10.1 (on two Epics used by two different people). I never felt like I needed to find a different one. What are you hoping to gain from a new kernel? Just curious...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doom5:
With the stock kernel, I don't see any voltage adjustment options nor any overclocking options. I'd like to have those.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatchmt:
Fair enough. Yeah, stock CM 10.1 only allows you to adjust the clock speed *down* (from what I can see in the performance menu). I'm afraid I'm no help with the custom kernel scene, so best of luck to you. I'll let someone else comment on that if they feel so inclined.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
Nitest/Nutest probably have those (look around in the dev forum). Do note that Epic 4G is an old device with decreasing support, so Nitest/Nutest is pretty much the only custom kernel for AOSP ROMs.

I know most of them but the 0 in the red circle and the little car. (I am not in driving mode) ?? Just curious
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cederic:
From what I've understood those icons are just your notifications - so if you start up the phone they should be in your notification bar, and you should then be able to find out what they are by checking your notifications.

If they aren't there, something weird is definitely going on.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] APeter001:
The little car seems to come and go for no discernable reason. The little red 0 is somewhat like the charge % symbol for my battery doctor app, but clearly I have more than 0% battery life. Maybe this is a glitch in Apex Launcher?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cederic:
Does the notifications appear if you start up the phone? It might be the app is somehow incompatible with the smart view feature. The car flashing in and out though makes me think something else is going on - that sounds like the phone is going in and out of car mode - which I guess might happen if it's placed in a car dock. Not sure what is making it think it's in a car dock though... some phones detect this with a magnet somewhere on the backside, so check if you're putting it near any magnets. Other models can end up going into car mode if things get caught in the USB ports... try having a look and maybe cleaning it out with a toothpick if something is stuck. You could also try just leaving the USB flap cover off.

You'll have to narrow down exactly when it happens. Only in smart view? Only when plugged in? Only when USB cover in? If you can't find any solution I'd recommend uninstalling your extra apps and see if it keeps happening, and if it doesn't reinstall one by one and see when it comes back.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyltha:
Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 is built in to the Snapdragon 800 chip.

From what I've gleaned on the net, even without a charger specifically designed for Quick Charge 1.0, the previous iteration of this technology built into the S3 for example, there is a reduction in charge time. So it might stand to reason that Quick Charge 2.0 would have an improvement in charge time even if the charger supplied isn't a Quick Charge 2.0 spec charger. The two systems, 1.0 and 2.0, are interchangeable compatible, just that a 1.0 device won't get the 2.0 chip benefit from a 2.0 charger. You get the idea.

Apparently 2.0 chargers will be available in early 2014.

So this is at least partially what is driving the fast charge times on the G2, AFAICT.
