Exactly. I am not speaking out against Anti-Piracy, to do so would be to speak out against a persons right to intellectual property and capitalism as a whole really. I am speaking out against the intrusive method and implementation of Project Guard.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lunerceli:
The main thing that concerns me on this matter is the fact that I like to try apps before I buy them. If the app is crap then I just uninstall it and don't worry with it after that. Some apps in the app store, and I have had problems with this, do not allow refunds once purchased. It is frustrating some times to just have nothing but screen shots that look awesome and a video that looks great, but you are the first one that sees the app and you buy it to only find out that it is nothing like described. I do personal ROM development from time to time and I would never allow anything like this in anything I do. It takes away from everything that is Linux. And yes android is Linux/UNIX based, so therefore should not be restricted as such. That is why Google implemented software that checks for pirated apps and won't allow you to use them if it sees certain checks that not even lucky patcher can bypass. My personal opinion on this matter is that there might be other reasons behind this code. If you analyze the code to be implemented, you will notice it connects to a server for verification of new apps added that are considered to be piracy apps and also to confirm the currently installed database. I know that some hackers use this type of ploy to gain access to your personal information because any time that you connect to a server with an app with full access to your device it can essentially get all the information saved on your device regardless of how secure you think it is. So keep that on mind. Take a look at their code on github and see for yourself.

How will this effect folks in countries that crack down on the free flow of information like here in the US? Think it's more about control than it is money...ooopps, my bad, no such thing as money just notes.

The time you have spent to make this post was more than enough to learn how to compile rom from source and build it without this so called Trojan that helps the app devs.

And if we added a Trojan, you wouldn't even know it

You are totaly right. How can the devs only dare, trying to protect us against breaking the laws rules.

What those piracy apps does is simply stealing.

You are taking someones right for money.

This is simply an anti-thief prevention.

Now ask yourself. Is it okay to steal things. Is it okay to steal money?

You say, they have clear motives.

So you have.

When your "freedom" is about stealing, i hope you end up in jail.

Again in plain text

Tell me an app which does not have full access to my phone,

1, SuperSU and all Google Apps, then Facebook, Whatsapp, Viber and so on.

Each shi... app has access if they want to. Your argument is not an argument.

I'm more afraid of Google + + + and stolen apps as of the Anti Piracy code.

[Galaxy S 5 General] jujijoog:
Well if you read my post you would understand that I'm not concerned about bypassing content guard. In fact i made it painfully obvious when I stated how easy it is to do just that, in the first paragraph....

What I am concerned about is compromising the integrity of AOSP.

One thing you cannot argue is that this is a precedent and I fear that this precedent has "awakened a sleeping giant" and could be the catalyst for something much worse. I'm not going to re-explain myself because you were either too lazy to read my whole post or too ignorant to comprehend it.

You hope I end up in jail because I have a philosophical disagreement about what open source ROM content should be? Calm down bro.

And you are god damn right I have clear motives.

Talk about stating the obvious, LOL.

It's not like I pretended this was an unbiased research post.

My freedom is not about stealing, its about not having code in my ROM that does nothing for me but control me.

Content guard has the potential to stop much more than pirating.

It is already blocking access to legitimate apps and apps that provide access to legitimate apps.

I HAVE STATED BEFORE THAT I AM NOT OPPOSING ANTI-PIRACY MEASURES AS A WHOLE I AM PROTESTING THIS PARTICULAR METHOD OF ANTI-PIRACY IMPLEMENTATION AS I THINK IT IS DANGEROUS.

This is a ridiculous argument because although those apps have full access to your phone, NONE OF THEM DO ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE TO AS MALICIOUS AS CONTENT GUARD! Super SU simply gives the user privileges while Content Guard takes them away. To compare them in this way is frankly hilarious as they are actually great examples of a polar opposites.

Wow this is the best you Pro Content-Guard types got?

Can someone who has actually graduated from high school please come at me?

You're a pompous ass and an instigator to theft, no more and no less.

I hope the post is closed here
[Galaxy S 5 General] jujijoog:
How am I an instigator to theft because I oppose the implementation of some code that I believe could cause AOSP to lose integrity and worsen? How many times do I have to say that I am not defending pirating software nor am I helping to do so. I may be helping to throw up road blocks to measures against it but even that I doubt as there was an exposed module made completely independent of my influence as well as several methods developed for bypassing content guard before I even knew it existed. What im getting at is that regardless of what I say or do content guard would have been made useless. Its the unintended side effects I'm worried about. The people behind this project were discussing banning xposed as a way of stopping a bypass. If they are willing to do something that damaging to the xda community then they are a problem. Do you not agree?

Do you think xposed should be banned? Really? Did you even read my post? What are you even reacting to, what you are saying makes no sense in the context of my post. I think by "you are a pompous ass", what you really meant was "I don't understand your post because I'm ignorant and that makes me insecure, scared and upset". Why would my post be b&? What possible reason would a mod find to b& my post. As far as I know XDA isn't in the business of censorship. I'm sure you would love to be though. You're the one that's more likely to get banned for name calling. Grow up.

What's up with all the name calling? If you don't agree with me then explain why as any intelligent, respectable adult would, this isn't a YouTube comment section.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jujijoog:
By the way, I don't appreciate you putting words in my mouth? When did I say this was helping app devs? Although its irresponsible of the app devs to agree to implement this I am not under the illusion that content guard was created by them. Its clear who is ultimately behind this and its not the app devs. However any app dev that allows this becomes, in their passivity, an agent of negative change to the whole Android dev scene. And I didn't know you added this until it blocked my install. All Trojans become apparent after they execute their malicious intent, with the exception of like a data mining trojan so I'm not sure what you mean?

P.S Funny you should mention I actually am working on a ROM right now. When I drop it I'll shoot you a link.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lunerceli:
People just aren't wanting to listen. They aren't realizing the full affect this is going to have on the community. The devs working on getting xposed to work well with 5.1 are busting their butts to make it work and then someone comes along and tries to restrict the use of our ROMs. No where has anyone said that they are supporting piracy. You don't need apps like blackmart alpha, aptoid or anything of such to get free apps. If someone were to support piracy, then it is up to that individual. Like we say in the military, to each his own. Like I have said before, since this connects to a server for checks, we don't know what all it is capable of. And none of this " well facebook and other apps do the same thing and could do more damage! ". Yes we all know this, but there is a catch to that argument ..... We choose to install that software and understand the risk. They are not forced upon us or hidden like a piece of Turkey jerky mixed with beef. And from my understanding this code is going to be hidden in settings as well.
[Galaxy S 5 General] XDA_h3n:
What difference is this privacy guard going to make. People will just Google apks instead. I can't see where this is going. And this xposed module is made.

This is exactly the like of the story of the BPI. Greedy people trying to monopolise the market. What happened to AOSP's freedom. Well people have gone round the privacy measures.

Let's say Google Play doesn't allow an app for instance Adaway. Where am I going to get it officially? From their site or a market he uploads it to. There are genuine apps on there which are because of Google's terms. Most of them are pirated (which I don't condom at all).

With these new rules go ahead and block Google Play. There are unmonitored apps on there which can allow you to download music. Why can't you? Oh yeah, the greed.

I'm pretty sure this is a evasion of the users privacy. Even Windows 10 allowed you to change default settings and stop feedback; this change would be illegal which is why Windows 7 came with a browser choice update to allow other browser vendors.

Yup roms with this content guard BREAKS THE GPL. You cannot upload roms on XDA which break GPL [emoji12]
[Galaxy S 5 General] lunerceli:
Well said my friend. People don't really think about that kind of stuff usually though. That's how privacy guard came about. Lol
[Galaxy S 5 General] jujijoog:
Well its definitely an invasion of privacy as far as im concerned but what constitutes an invasion of privacy is a matter of perspective. Do you think it is possible that content guard technically breaks any of googles TOS or possibly even privacy laws? Im not too familiar with legislation like this if it does exist. Much of the post 9/11 legislation has been aimed at making things like content guard more legal unfortunately. Several people I mentioned this to on another forum I frequent pointed out the windows 10 connection. Everyone agreed that content guard is a much more malicious implementation of Anti-Piracy code. You are right, people will just google or torrent apks, that is until Content Guard 2.0 blocks the installation of sideloaded apps, xposed and Installation of all apks via ADB (Just Kidding).

Edit: I just notice the last line about GPL. I had missed that. Is that true or are you just being facetious?

Im honestly kind of shocked that more people dont see, or at least care about the possible negative implications of something like this. I figured on a forum like XDA, support for an anti content guard movement would be mostly unanimous but it seems to be pretty well devided which actually makes things a little more interesting.
[Galaxy S 5 General] zelendel:
As for the GPL. First learn what your talking about. Only the Android kernel is licensed under the GPL. That is it. The rest of the system is based on other licenses.

Now if people don't like it then by all means compile your own rom.

Remember we make roms for ourselves and decide to share it. No one is forcing you to use it. Also more roms are looking at it and many have already added code that target xposed. Mostly just to make sure when reporting bugs that it shows xposed if installed. Sad this is needed because people don't know how to listen when a dev say no xposed support.

Now xda stand completely behind this and if you don't like it then you know what you can do.
[Galaxy S 5 General] zelendel:
AS XDA stands behind the anti piracy additions this modual has been banned on XDA as are all talks of it.

I have a strange problem with this rom (maybe all CM rom's but i use this one :))

It works great for a few days.

Then after e few days, the battery starts to drain a little more then normal.

At night i charge the phone and the next morning i see that the phone has charged to 100%, but after reaching 100% it stopped charging and by the time i get up it is somewhere between 70 or 80%. The days before it charges to 100% and stays at 100% until i stop charging.

If i keep using the phone the battery drain is extreme high, and before midday, the phone has to be charged again.

If i reboot the phone after it starts draining (before or after the night charge problem does not matter) then everything is again working as expected for a few days with a max of 6 days.

So every 3 to 6 days i must reboot.

I use the 26 august version, because the newer versions had problems with rebooting on calls etc and i use it for work also, so i cannot have that :)

Anybody any idea?

For me, the battery will keep draining till the phone SOD. Rebooting it after SOD would then solve it. After sometimes, the drain will start again. Not sure what's causing this issue. Otherwise the battery life would have been great.

Hey y'all, I was on 2.19.40.22 rooted with one click root and successfully applied last week's update to 2.20.40.58 and kept root.

I tried to update to 2.20.40.59 and my phone got all sorts of ****ed up. So I successfully formatted and wiped everything and downgraded to pre-rooted 2.19.40.18 (also downgraded boot/droidboot/stock recovery). After unrooting SuperSU so I'd have a fully stock ROM, I tried updating. That got botched.

So I wiped everything again (including internal storage/data) and fully installed 2.19.40.22 and now my phone sees no updates from ASUS pending and every time I try to enter stock recovery, it just plays like it's trying to apply an update and then throws up the error message. This happens without any OTA update zips in internal storage to trigger recovery to try to apply an update.

I've also tried the other manual way to update (the method other than MOFD_SDUPDATE) and my phone will try to apply the update then displays the same error message again.

I'm at the my wits end having tried everything I can think of, have spent the better part of 6hrs ****ing with my phone. Anyone have any insight?
