[WARNING] ROMs contain pirated apps! - Android General

Hello, this is a quick massage, for a few devs:
A ROM developer, who has his ROMs on CWMs website, has implemented a few apps, that are normally paid only!
These apps include:
1. Apex Launcher pro
2. franco.Kernel updater (Franciscofranco has been notified)
3. Root Explorer (file manager)
4. Tapatalk 2
As I don't know all the devs, could you please take note, and notify thedevs, in your spare time
The ROM will be taken down from clockworkmod.com, to prevent more pirating
If you like, you can also post, with other pirated apps from other ROMs, this way we could maybe have a chance against idiots, who pirate and redistribute apps!
I will update this thread, as often as I can, and keep informing devs
Edit: If you have found stuff like this, feel free to report it here in the thread. It's not like anyone will criticize you (Not like that one user below).

I don't support piracy in any way what so ever but what the hell does it have to do with you? You sound like the little snitch who grasses every body up at school. Go away and get a life half of what gets done on xda is illegal hexing binary drivers etc.

Also tapatalk is free on amazon app store and apps like apex are google code open source so should really be free like the world of linux.

Bit harsh to criticise him for letting developers know their commercial apps are being used without their permission. If someone used apps you created and sold wouldn't you want to know?
Tapatalk is not free. It is a commercial app made available free to some users under a deal with certain businesses so we can get it free but it is still a paid and copyrighted commercial app and whether we like it or not redistributing a paid app without permission to is piracy.
Apex pro is not free or open source only the less well featured non pro version is open source and free so again it is piracy.
Ideally the rom creator should be contacted privately as it could be an innocent mistake on their part but that doesn't make the op bad for letting people know their apps are being used in such a way.
Maybe the op is a cwm fan who doesn't want them targeted by those who have shut down popular sites that hosted pirated content and hopes that infringing content can be removed?

Exactly. You let this kind of stuff fly and you'll see Rom Manager removed from the market, if not sued for facilitating copyright infringement.

I did say I'm against piracy but people should just keep out of other people business. look let Rom manager dev know and let the app devs know sure but that's it we don't need a thread on it and we don't need people looking out for it. Like I sead weather you like it or not half of Rom devs on here are doing illegal stuff with roms maybe they don't know it but thay are.

This is a Dev site, to support people who develop, so someone reporting on pirated software is doing the right thing. People aren't going to make product if one of the biggest sites out there condones it. Thankfully, you are in the minority. Feel free to state your opinion, but do so constructively and treat others with respect.

386 posts and 23 thanks in 6 years as a member (2 of them coming from tools reading this quoted post by you). You are obviously an important member of this forum and do your best to help and support others . How about you just take your douchebaggery elsewhere? Everyone knows XDA is against the piracy of the apps developed by the people that make this site what it is.

I would just like to point out this post was against XDA rules.
By asking for this I assuming you do not wish to show support to our devs which is what this website is all about. Shame on you.
Cheap ass. You spend the money on the device and data plan but you're too cheap to spend a couple of bucks on quality software. You suck.

Na, he specifically named installous. And that is where you downloaded cracked apps for the iphone.
Even if he dose here is not the place to discuss. The development team work hard to bring apps, if ppl are gonna crack them why would they even release them??

Nope, the idiot made it pretty clear he's looking for an Installous like market..
It is my understanding that you can get a refund for anything you buy that doesn't work out (in the first day or two i think). that coupled with all the trial apps, means there is no legit reason to use a cracked app.
Not that i ever agreed with that excuse, but some people suggested that it was there reason for wanting cracked apps - to try before buy.
Support developers and don't fool with cracked apps. It is stealing.
I don't think installous on iphone is that bad. I used it so I didn't have to pay for apps and I will admit that but then the app store is so massive anyway it doesn't matter. They will still develop for it.
On android however I think it is av completely different story. As the market isn't that big we need to be supporting developers and giving them a reason to want to develop for android. If everyone on android are going to crack the apps anyway then why would developers ever move from apple to android?

Warez is the $27k worth of drafting, 3d modelingand rendering, animation, photo, movie and sound editing, and website development software I have installed on my laptop.
Every app that is on my phone is paid for though.

It depends largely on the software licence (EULA) for the product. Sometimes, companies allow the software to be used like a book. It can only be read by one person at a time but many people can use it. Other agreements allow only one person to use the software and may further limit the use to one specific computer (or even hardware group meaning you must contact the software company if you upgrade your hardware).
However, most times Warez refers to obtaining software that you do not legally have the right to use.

Honestly, that's the first thing I wanted also. Then i saw how almost every app is free or a donate version. Just help the author out a little, especially since google doesn't take a huge cut of the profits like crapple.

You want to pirate apps that developers pour COUNTLESS hours of time into because you are too much of a cheap ass to spend 1 DOLLAR on someone's hard work? Some people just don't have any ethics or morals whatsoever, it is really quite sad.
One post...Why not just publicly say you want to steal?? Grow up, pay the devs and show some respect and class.

To get paid apps for free with legal way

Hello everyone this is really legal and supports the developer not cracking apps and steeling developers effort.please dont misunderstand this.
firstly go your browser and type getjar.com and download its own app from here.
Open the app you install and from the app go to the "gold apps" cathegory and download what you want it is really free and legal

There's no legal way for getting paid apps for free. The only legal way is to pay for it. Better remove the link buddy because it just leads to a warez site.

Yea exactly. There's no such thing. Warez are not allowed here unless the apk is made by an xda member and posts the paid version free exlcusively for xda members.

It's legal, it's just another market. Most of the apps you can find there for free are free on the Android Market too.
They give some apps for free which normally you pay for, but I think it's a way to get more users and that they pay those apps for you or something like that.
It is really legal this site I mean getjar is dealing with the developers and share their apps for if you don't believe me just visit the site. I know payment is the best way but this the other way and I believe that it legal you can check the wheter they are cracked or not.
Thanks you all to warn me...

If you have a rooted phone you can install lucky patcher dont install it from google play store install it from onhax i would have provided you the link if i had permission. Then install modded playstore (also from onhax) i would recommend you that you backup your real playstore with titanium backup before installing because it will replace your playstore. After that open lucky patcher and locate the option patch to android then you will get free apps dont think you will not need to pay on googleplaystore you will have to download free apks of paid apps this method only skips the verification off app payment. I have tried this thing myself its works pretty well
p.s hit thanks

I just read up on it, and it seems like removing the app is just going to get it talked about more.
There are plenty of people who have the .apk, as well as people who have modified it, and patched it, etc. If there is a way he is collecting revenue off it this would have been a very successful marketing move. However, the app wasn't a paid app, and even though people may be searching "flappy bird" more, I'm kind of curious how he's actually making money off it since the top Google searches are not likely his own website/ad revenue.

He makes money probably because of the ads in the app like most free games are run by some kind of one click advertising that's why some apps charge to remove it
