Just wondering, in the history of the forum has there ever been any developers that has gone rogue and put malware into their kernels or roms?

not that im aware of. but there are so many different devices on xda, and xda has been around a long time..
All of them, they all secretly spy on you through the front camera.... They're watching you right now!!
AaaaaaaaaHHHH!!!

Ya know... I have often wondered about that. Even for open source apps, what's preventing a dev from publishing an apk with malware, while making malware-free source code available? Most folks won't bother compiling and will just install the provided apk.
Scary, yeah..
There are enough smart people on xda who like to poke around at things. If there were malware in anything it would be found pretty fast and the community alerted.

Curious about why the Thunderbolt has at least a beta miui port and we're still stuck. I thought it was because we have no RIL in source for the 4G radio, so is that something they've been leaked/reverse engineered and we haven't?
To be upfront: By asking this question I AM indeed implying that the charge devs suck, I didn't search before posting, I expect ICS ported tomorrow, and that I believe I deserve to be served breakfast in bed. Thank you.

We clearly need to organize an OCCUPY DEVELOPERS organization and set up a tent city on the front lawns of these developers. Maybe then they'll realize that we want results.
99% of us aren't given the gifts of computer programming, and the 1% that do think they can just rule the XDA community with an iron fist.
We are the 99% who don't know what ADB is or how to use it. We disagree that the developers should have all the power. I wouldn't recognize linux of it politely introduced itself with a handshake and a smile. ODIN package... What is that? We refuse to read a single post in the thread before we complain and ask a question that had clearly been answered as recently as ten seconds ago because the world is all about us. And if a developer overlooks that one meaningless feature that I alone liked, it's my right to spam his thread with that demand instead of figuring it out for myself.
We can only bring about change by organizing and living in a shanty-town. And if the MODS at XDA use pepper-ban spray and move threads it will only make our cause stronger.

Same here. I thought maybe a mod edited the thread title at first, until I read all the replies LOL!
I think we should organize an OCCUPY MIUI movement and force them into dev'ing for our phone too. That way we can overtake their source code and all will be well in the Charge world!

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.
Hey all of you Devs, RC's, and so forth...
I plan to start using GITHUB, but I am currently trying to build a list of possible Google play apps that will work like GITHUB, and/or any third party apps. This is so I can work on repos from my device when I am not by a computer.
So if any of you know of one that works for you, please, post about it here so I may be able to check it out.
Thanks

Ok, for you git users out there. I have narrowed it down to two apps for android. These apps will allow you to use git from your phone for times when you are not by a pc. The first one is called SGit. This app is pretty legit. It is also open source (that means java, c, and so on). Works really well, but my only problem with it is that it does not give options for working with branches whether you are trying to create, merge, checkout, etc. However, been looking at the source and its apparent that those options are being added so I look forward to the update.
The other app is called AIDE. This app is mainly for building apks from your device, but due to its wide diversity you can pretty much use this app for a wide variety of projects. It comes with git built in and features A LOT of git commands with a pretty slick gui. The ONLY problem with that app is you will NOT be able to use git with AIDE like you want to unless you purchase the apps premium key from the play store which is currently selling for $9.99 U.S. dollars. As it stands these two apps are best fitted when working on repos.
I currently have both on my device and I plan to keep both.
-- Happy Hunting!!

There was one early on by Mr Hyde which I installed and have been using ever since. That was discontinued about a year ago though. Was just wondering if there's been any development since.
See...there's hardly any way to get answers here,,, I mean thank God for the geniuses touching down to earth ever so often with there brilliant work but then they flutter back into their bong smoke filled dens to game on or whatever other strange itch they're wanting to scratch at that particular moment...lol. but answers for the old folks....hehehe not a chance!

Yeah, I can be a little sarcastic. But he DID say people like me used to be super active then disappear to play video games and aren't helpful anymore.

Uh,,,,, that would be a NO then.because none of those lead to a working Rom or a working anything for that matter,,, development for this particular device is dead......that was why I made my remark...because most of you guys go to great links to impress yourselves but add very little to helping any of us that aren't as savvy,,,,, that's pretty cool animation but I see you really haven't followed any of those links in that real cool way to say nothing.....

C'mon man, don't be a troll. There are very few owners/users of your particular tab. Which is why there is little development for it. Have you seen Shakatus contributions to the community of P51xx.Take a look for yourself, and then try spouting off. If he, or any other, of the great devs around here actually had one of your models, maybe they may be able to figure something out. But, he doesn't. So he wont. Unless of course you want to send him yours to try, but I can guess the answer to that. Bashing people around here for problems that you are having (or unwilling to do anything about, except lean on others ie: learn something for yourself) is unacceptable and will be reported. No trolls allowed......next!
I wasn't trying to be crass....I will be happy to donate or whatever in order to advance the work on this model....but there's no current anything for this device.....I've ran down every link and thread trying to find anything useful to break VZW's hold on this device, so it's not a matter of not researching or being lazy....my apologies.

I apologize if this is the wrong place for this but it seems like it could use some eyes on it. Read about this on a couple sites today. Sounds like a smart app that shuts down background processes to gain battery life. Article: http://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/rele...martphone-battery-drain-from-faulty-apps.html
It looks like the code is available on Github, and can be compiled, they just haven't released an app yet. I would do it myself, but that's way above my pay grade. Here's the Github link: https://github.com/hushnymous
Was just wanting to see if someone could toy around with it. Cheers!

From my understanding it has to be baked into a ROM, it can't be an app.
I'ts a ROM Patch, so we cant use it
My apologies if I was mistaken, I can't remember what site I was reading that said you could compile the code into an app. I guess we'll just have to wait, unless some of the ROM devs get adventurous.
