The Cyanogenmod Circlejerk

[SomeGamer]

This project kinda gave me a chuckle. It's rather hypocritical. They have a retarded module installed that checks for APKs that enable piracy and blocks the installation of them, yet they have a built in ad blocker. I seriously hope I'm not the only one that finds this hilariously ironic. Also, the module can be circumvented by either modifying settings.apk or renaming the infringing package name since it goes by a hardcoded list of names rather than using something smart like heuristics.

Really? Never said I used it, just tried it out and left it on my multiboot menu. Though, after reading this, I guess it's time to get rid of it.

Yeah. Try installing Lucky Patcher if you care enough. Though the developer constantly changes the package name for this exact reason, so the latest version might get around the check. Regardless, denying piracy and ad revenue at the same time is really bad for one's PR image, heh.

i think if i can get TiBu working, i'll backup blockheads and do a full wipe

 

[mgrev]

fixed it and facepalmed so hard i fractured my skull.
i reinstalled the cm13 nightly so it boots (not with gapps, because it doesnt work. "setup has crashed"). i spent most of my day trying to fix this, injecting titanium backup to /system, installing it via a file manager, installing via twrp. nothing worked because i was missing the google package installer (in gapps). after a very long time i remembered i had ADB installed on this PC. installed in a few seconds and BAM! TiBu works! i had even been flashing stock images with Fastboot, so i dont know why i didnt think of this before

Well, i am sorry for leaving you, but i had major bluetooth latency with cyanogenmod, so i switched to the normal weta rom instead. i will switch back once bluetooth is fixed.

Do you find that Bluetooth takes a long time to connect with cyanogenmod?

sometimes. and on cm13 it stutters a lot. almost as if it was a scratch in the disc

I'd get CM, but none of my devices are compatible

Build your own build. @Davidosky99 explained the basics

Doesn't the risk of a brick come with it though ?

No not really if you get everything device specific

 

[MsMidnight]

No not really if you get everything device specific

Ill wait until summer then. With lots of spare time it will be easier

@Davidosky99: do you have the Cyanogenmod source downloaded? If not, then I'll try to compile it for myself, because I can't wait

 

[MsMidnight]

A universal Cyanogenmod installer app would be better due to it being able to see your hardware

 

[Davidosky99]

Well right now no, because I'm running windows +Kali . but try for yourself its a fun experience. If you can't I may try to do it

It exists but only for a certain number of devices

Have you ever compiled CM before? What are your specs? And how long did it take? I have a feeling, that it's gonna take me ~2days to compile it >.<

I compiled for various models which weren't officially supported . some huawei devices wiko devices (micromax rebranded) and zte devices. I have a 1/2 mb/s connection and an i5 laptop (and an i7 desktop) and with both it took about one day(a night to download the source and the device specific sources) and about 4 hours to compile

So that means, that the compiling alone will take ~1day to compile Meh...

And do you know how to downport/downgrde to an older Android version? I want to downgrade my Wiko Highway Signs from 4.4.2 to 2.3.x

Why would you want to do that ?
