[Xposed Module] Disable AOSP/CM Anti-Piracy Code

This is NOT my work

Hello fellow flash-o-holics! I have been fed up with not being able to use AdAway, torrents, etc., so I did some searching. Turns out, a developer over on onplus.net who goes by the name "one_minus_one" has developed an Xposed module that "throws a null to the [content guard] reciever, making it useless". This xposed module is completey open source... unlike the Anti-Piracy content guard, so that's a huge plus!

@one_minus_one has not hit the post minimum to make this thread. As such, I am making this on his/her behalf. HE/SHE HAS MADE A NEW XPOSED MODULE THAT IS PURE GENIUS!!!!! In a nutshell, he/she made an Xposed module that disables Content Guard, formerly known as AntiPiracy Support. To install, make sure you have Xposed Framework installed (link below) and then install the module from the most recent update.

There's a new version: <look below> I renamed it to DisableContentGuard, so it's not an update, and you should uninstall the previous one. Now that ContentGuard is not open source anymore, we don't know what they are blocking. That's bad. Very bad. Luckily, they're still using the same list. The old AntiPiracy is still operational. It consists of two services included in the Settings app. It checks all installed packages, and uninstalls them if they are on the list. To prevent disabling the services, they made some changes to the android framework. The new ContentGuard consists of the function parsePackageUri added to this class. It is called from com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.PhoneStatusBa r in the SystemUI app. When it detects an app on the list, it disables the DefaultContainerService, which is necessary to install new apps. The new DisableContentGuard module disables all these things.
