*WARNING*
DO NOT flash AICP or Vanir Exodus if you use any of the following apps:
Freedom.apk
Lucky Patcher
Black Mart
The devs of AICP and other custom ROMs such as exodus (a new ROM based on Cyanogen from the vanir devs that is available for klte and kltespr) and others are implementing what is effectively an anti-piracy trojan in their ROMs.
It's a service that runs in the backround and literally blocks you from installing these apps. Not sure why the devs felt the need to implement this trivial and easily bypassed "feature" but it goes against everything I thought the AOSP stood for and frankly disgusts me. While it is easy enough to bypass this using third party apps or a hex editor, I do not wish to support any developers that would stoop to this level of greed because they feel they are owed more. If you want money for your code, I totally understand, but this is AOSP not apple and there is a time and place for everything. Don't take out your misplaced aggression at software pirates on AOSP because although this is just a little bit of code it is the beggining of the end of AOSP. If you compromise your integrity now, it's a short trip from here to bloatware with a monthly subscription fee.
And it doesn't stop there. Apparently there was talk of banning both aptoide and XPOSED in these ROMS. That was voted down but aptoide was still on the table as far as I know. The fact that the idea of banning xposed from AOSP roms to stop its users from pirating is ridiculous and out of control. Its frankly shameful. In a modern internet climate that is becoming increasingly controlled and corporatized, AOSP is a beacon of hope to me. A reminder that technology belongs to the many and not the few. This decision spits in the face of that hope. People will say im being dramatic but this is a huge deal to me and if you care about having the freedom to do wat you want with your phone, which im pretty sure most of you do then this should be to you too. I thought I could trust AOSP devs to do the right thing but apparently they feel that it's their place decide which apps I can and cannot install. I urge you not to flash this ROM or any ROM that would compromise its integrity by adding code that is meant to control its users. This is the kind of thing that made us choose AOSP in the first place. It doesn't even make logical sense in an open source ROM as inevitably new versions of the ROM will be released with this ridiculous code removed. I am seriously disappointed as AICP was one of my favorite ROMs. The devs own this ROM and have the right to do whatever they want with it but as a user you have the right to flash a ROM with a little more integrity.
Don't take my word for it,
