Is the anti piracy stuff implemented? Many of the ppl I know are backing away from the Rom. I put so much energy on the publicity on my own, not asking anything, to be clear here. I got all my stuff legit 100%. I like this anti piracy implementation... But it seems there will be quite a rarefaction of the adopters... Besides the look polishing the team is going for..
[ONE Original Android Development] tofu:
Could someone elaborate on this anti-piracy stuff? How does it work, why was is implemented and is it constantly active consuming battery and/or monitoring user? I've been very happy with the ROM so far (and recommending it to friends as well), but now I feel the ROM has taken a strange and suspicious route.

At my work to use the wifi I have to login with my work credentials. But for some reason on Exodus I always get the following page. So to be able to login I have to disable mobile data then go onto chrome search for something and the the page will pop up to say I need to login, and I can fill out my details fine and connect.

The last build to actually let me login without having to disable my mobile data and do this work around was 17 June (I think).

Last week I tried resurrection remix ROM and the above issue was not there and I could connect to wifi without disabling my mobile data and using chrome. But I didn't like the ROM so came back here.

I was hoping the issue would fix it self, but as its been a month now, thought I should say something.

I have tried clean flashes but no luck. Even flashing the 17 June build clean then updating to the latest build but it still doesn't work. It will only work correctly on the 17th June build or before.

Edit

Similar to issue stated here....

in the spirit of it all, I think dave should then also remove certain hostsnames from the host file - this so that devlopers who write free apps and make living out of the adds can earn...

also by doing this exodus is restricitng freedom of users from installing any app they want to, or is there just a pop up that says "malware/pirated-app detected blabla press YES to install anyway" ? If not the later than I think that restricting freedom goes against the spirit of android.

Phones do not come rooted and most people who root are powerusers and know what they are doing. Putting the developers of this project soley behind the wheel to judge what is moral or not does not feel good to me.

You might be wonrdering .... I am against piracy of apps and support developers.

As much as I support anti piracy initiative, I am skeptical about installing a ROM which keeps a check on what I install. Someone who know how to unlock bootloader, root and flash custom ROMs is smart enough to know the risk of installing pirated apps. Why bring your own security guard in name of Anti Piracy. I don't see a point in losing large user base in the name of sandboxing few rotten apples.

[ONE Original Android Development] aeg1313:
I've sold my iPhone 5 at one point, when I got fed up by Apple's restrictions, got myself a OnePlus to be able to root and do what I want with the device. Exodus has been a great ROM so far, I've tried several others but always came back. However, I'm not going back to a situation where a company or team decides what I should or shouldn't install on my device. I'm open about this: I haven't got any cracked apps installed. I had at one point to test-drive them, but bought all apps after a short period.

I dislike the idea of being limited, and I wish you would reconsider the option to remove this limitation. It would even be fine if it's an opt-out sort of deal, being able to disable it in settings, but if that's not possible, that is a deal breaker for me. Don't get me wrong: I'm not trying to force you, the developers, to do anything the way I want it. Just stating my opinion. I'm really grateful for all the hard work you've put in this rom so far, but if this limitation is here to stay, I guess I'll have to move on to something else.
[ONE Original Android Development] superiscch:
Are all of you guys using 'stolen' apps then?
[ONE Original Android Development] Heisenberg:
I'm usually all about users having a choice about things like this anti-piracy situation, but I see this differently. If you're not doing anything shady then you have nothing to complain about. Sure, it's a feature that's being forced on you, but it

will not affect you

unless you're doing something wrong. Piracy is wrong, and it has no place here on XDA, not at all. And honestly, it seems as though most of the people who are complaining don't actually understand the feature properly.
[ONE Original Android Development] Thealshear:
This sounds a lot like the justification the NSA and government uses for invading privacy "If you have nothing to hide then you won't mind us snooping around". It isn't about that it is about someone controlling my choices, yes we can always switch to another rom but why? So just a few devs can literally waste their time deving a feature that will be bypassed (and it is already bypassed) . Yes the devs are free to commit whatever they want in their rom but we as a community reserve a right to give them feedback and majorly the feedback is negative.Android started around the idea of freedom, the people here root and flash roms so they have a wider freedom of choice . The only way you can truly stop piracy is by stopping people from installing apps from external source and this has proved very successful for apple....
[ONE Original Android Development] Heisenberg:
Your likening this to the practices of the NSA are, honestly, ridiculous. They're entirely different situations. The other points you make are good, but like I said, unless you're up to something that you shouldn't be it wouldn't affect you in the slightest. I know why people are here, and I also know that people have the freedom to choose another ROM if they want to.

[ONE Original Android Development] joefso:
Just because I choose to keep my system under my own control does not mean I am doing something shady how on earth have you come to make such an strange rationalization?
[ONE Original Android Development] Heisenberg:
Because, like I've already said twice, it doesn't affect you in the slightest unless you're doing something you shouldn't be doing. Don't get me wrong, I understand where you're coming from, I like having control over my phone too. I just don't understand why people are complaining so loudly about this, if their claims that they don't pirate are true, then it's a lot of foot stomping over something they were have never known existed if they weren't told.
[ONE Original Android Development] joefso:
It means the developers are going to try to decide what is going to be allowed on your phone and what not. Dave the developer of this rom believes that developer rights outweigh user rights and priveleges.

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 AM ----------

It does affect me, that is the point( this thinking if you you got nothing to hide than you do not have anything to worry about, is so flaccid), I know I can move to another rom, but that is not the point I am trying to make here.

1. Where do you draw the line when making a moral judgement of what gets blocked?

2. Who makes the call on what is OK and what's not?

3. What protections are put in place to prevent malicious abuse of the project?

I'm not advocating piracy.

I'm pointing out that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
[ONE Original Android Development] Flatric:
I thought more about an objective description:D
[ONE Original Android Development] Heisenberg:
Only the dev team can answer those questions. The first two questions are essentially the same though. It's been pretty well known from the beginning that this team does things the way they want to do them, and they're gracious enough to share their work with you. I have no qualms because the effect that it has on me is absolute zero, if it affects you so much then maybe it's time to move to another ROM. Maybe the team will change their mind and remove that feature, ya never know, but it's their choice whether they do or not, it isn't outs.
[ONE Original Android Development] joefso:
It is the teams right to do whatever they want but it is also my right to make people aware and discuss this further. That is why I said I know I can move to another rom and that this was not the point. The first two questions are different but they have the same theme.

When you take a myopic stance, and build on a questionable, arbitrary definition of right and wrong, the impact and consequences can have unintended results. The program uses code from the package manager which is deeply embeded in the system and they are trying to divide each aspect into several levels of content restriction. This obviously is not a fair compromise. Now I know that Dave beliefs that developer rights outweigh that of users and that is his right to belief, he can do whatever he wants with his rom and his code. But let´s call it for what it is and not try to reframe it into something positive for users. Changeing the way people think about piracy does not come from restriction, it comes from education which is more difficult but much more effective.

When the battery percantage next to icon on status bar will be fixed?

Running on 27th build.

As for the Anti Piracy I think it is a good feature, but it should be up to the users to activate it or not. The casual users will appreciate it but for power users it will be not quite good. In the end i guess the developers will give the option to activate this or not, but it should be on by default.

Keep the excellent work :D

Just to weigh in with my 2 cents on this whole anti-piracy issue...

I do not use any pirated apps so I doubt it will have any effect on my usage. Having said that...I do believe a choice of opting in or out of this would do everyone good. But alas, that is just my opinion and final say will of course be up to the developers whose software we are using.

As for me, I'm sticking with exodus....thanks to all who make it possible! I do appreciate your hard work :)

[ONE Original Android Development] Miikli:
This is - definetly - an interesting debate. At the same time, the developers are allowed to do as they want for their ROM (which is not suitable for criticism - it's their ROM!) but of course users wants to control their own system perfectly (and that is not suitable for criticism - it's their own system!). But as always, the developers have the last word, and in this case it's an anti-piracy ''feature''.

“If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear” is not a very convincing argument as everyone knows. But as [MENTION=4153349]Heisenberg[/MENTION] said, it doesn't affect you in the slightest unless you're doing something you shouldn't be doing. And in this case this is most likely true. Who uses Blackmart, Aptoide or some this kind of pirated applications and says: ''I just wanna control my own system as much as possible''? It does't sound very believable. (Lucky Patcher is certainly a bit different thing.)

So be honest with yourself: am I just a pirate who gets angry when piracy is made more difficult? Let's imaging I'm not a pirate so what I actually lose? In my opinion, you don't lose much. There is always some other way to manage your own, your very very own ROM.
[ONE Original Android Development] mikecantreed:
I agree app piracy is wrong but its most certainly out of a ROM dev team's bounds to implement restrictions on it. I commend the Exodus team for trying to find a solution to the issue but this seems misguided. I vote remove that module and focus your energy into making the UX better for the vast majority rather than slightly annoy the small minority of app pirates (this restriction is easily circumvented).

I'm 100% sure DRM doesn't let you "opt out" hahahaha

if there was an opt in or opt out it defeats the ENTIRE point of it. The point is that you are treated under the assumption that you are a criminal and that you SHOULDN'T be allowed to do anything they don't want you to do.
[ONE Original Android Development] Swagg422:
My 2 cents....

I think the Anti piracy feature is a great "idea" with poor execution. The feature was just dropped into the rom with almost no warning at all which is what I think is causing the biggest problem. I've seen the "if you have nothing to hide" argument pop up a few times on other threads discussing the feature and I think it's a one dimensional way of thinking.

I personally have nothing to hide but I was initially apprehensive because I can admit that I use aptoide regularly to get my region locked games. I understand that many view aptoide as a market that has pirated apps and it's true. And that's not something I was willing to lose because I'm a huge mobile gamer and the playstore usually isn't fast enough for me.

But after take the time to read the original thread and the thread on the oneplus forums i can say that I support the the feature and the project for now because I understand the purpose and thinking behind it. I think moving forward the devs should be way more transparent in the release of feature like this that could potentially drive away a lot of users from what I believe is the best ROM out there right now.

My 2 cents....

Edit: Fixed itself somehow xD
[ONE Original Android Development] renold458:
Well this is a pretty interesting debacle. Seeing as everyone else is inserting their two cents, I guess I'll add mine. The feature, in my opinion, is very well thought out and very helpful to those who it aims to support (developers and not so informed Android users). There are very malicious apps out there that aim to harm that are hidden behind the guise of "hey I'm super free". Of course comes the issue with how a so called "pirated app" is flagged or blocked, as I'm assuming the feature searches apps that are NOT installed from the Play Store and many useful are apps are not bundled there (I have used some system tweaking apps that Google has blocked, will that be blocked? Who knows.). Another issue (which I do not have but I understand some other Joe might have) is privacy, people don't like being monitored, whether it be actively by organizations like the NSA or software that is just doing its thing. People just love knowing they are in full control of what they own and knowing everything is acting they way they want it to. Heck isn't that why we love apps like Greenify or Amplify that purposefully allows us to stop apps that are being sneaky as hell in the background? Robbing us of precious battery and who knows what else? But like I said, I personally think the feature itself is a good idea, but not every good idea caters to everyone. My stance on piracy? It sucks and is a horrible action. Am I pirate? Honestly, it depends. I HAVE downloaded apps and icons that were paid for free through other sources, mostly because I did not have the money at the time (you know, common pirate logic, if I can't pay for it why not try and get it for free?). I don't condone the action, I certainly don't feel well when I do it (and thank God for my job as I have not done it for years now), nor do I judge those who do it, situations are different among different people. To end, I like the idea of an opt in, opt out choice, but that is EXTREMELY unlikely and frankly kind of a silly thought. For the sake of the developers' following, as I have MOSTLY seen negative feedback, I'd at least recommend talking to the community and figuring what THEY would think is a better implementation of this, or at least explain in more detail and settle some people's fears to rest. I don't like the logic of "if you're not doing anything wrong don't worry" as that logic is just opening doors for malicious activity on other fronts. I also don't like the whole "you can always look elsewhere", because people have loved this ROM and want to see it be the very best, otherwise no one would voice their opinions about it.
[ONE Original Android Development] :
OK, I'm going to stop this here. ;)

Far more than enough has been said about this anti-piracy business. So let's not derail the thread any further.

The rom developers can create their work any way they choose. And us rom users can use it or not. They don't need to answer to us. They created this for free, for fun and as a hobby. And have graciously shared with the rest of us.

That's the bottom line. If you don't like it, move on to something else. They've heard the objections. 100 more posts about it is completely unnecessary.

So let's drop it. Now please. My eraser is ready... And further posts will disappear on this subject. Create a discussion thread in a non development section if you feel the the need to continue this discussion. But stop cluttering this thread with it.

Oh, I have seen it, I hang around those threads all the time :o

Back on track: I can definitely recommend pure stock Exodus all the way. Many people had said it before, but I had to see for myself.

I clean installed the July 24th build, and TK Gapps (tk_gapps-modular-mini-5.1.1-20150721-signed.zip). I then abstained from installing Greenify (or the like) and from touching Privacy Guard in any way. So absolutely zero tweaks or optimizations of any sort.

In my second charging cycle (from 98% to 1%) I got 6 hrs 25 mins of SOT, on mobile data all this time. I would say that this is 1-1.5 hours more than with Greenify and PG.
