No one is trying to justify anything. You were sounding the alarm about impending XDA lawsuits. The iOS jailbreak community has a far greater chance of being sued compared to XDA.
Community-developed mods like Cyanogenmod are not modifying proprietary OEM code. They draw from the Android Open Source Project, whose source code is licensed expressly to permit modification. I'm not an attorney either, but the meaning of the phrase
seems quite clear. The terms "Work" and "Derivative Works" are also defined in that document. I would be interested to hear your theory about how one could get sued for deriving from Apache-licensed code.
A rational OEM would be happy that people are doing things with their devices that might void their warranty. Since repairs under warranty are performed at the manufacturer's expense, why wouldn't an OEM want to escape from that contract?
I would laugh for about a year if there were only 5 million actual Android phone users and they each had a collection of 180 phones each. One of each model... I wonder what Android user has the biggest collection of Android phones to be the Ultimate Android user? Maybe Google should have a contest and give the winner a free set of Google Glass.........
About this vulnerability, installing a hobbyist, basement designed ROM is certainly NOT a solution as the makers will certainly never have the resources to properly test for weaknesses and won't go back to plug weaknesses. You are gambling big time with these ROMS floating around.
Google will patch this massive security hole, but God help you if you don't have a Nexus 4, or Google Edition GS4 or HTC One or one of this year's carrier subsidized flagship's from one of the majors (Samsung, Sony, LG, HTC). If you have a hobbyist ROM or phone older than 6 months forget it...
And I know there are even more heinous exploits in android, especially among these bootleg OS's floating around XDA.
If I were a mfg of a phone, I would only sell product that can run the latest OS and give people at least 3 years worth of OS updates in the process if I could.. And get the updates in the customer's hands quickly. In addition do whatever it takes to give the customers a safe place to get apps that don't have malware.
To this, I would ask, "why?" I can understand your point if you were selling to people who plan to use their smartphones as platforms for consuming apps. Those people might care about getting OS updates, especially if you tie certain app updates together with OS releases. But if the majority of your customers buy your phones because "oooh it has a touchscreen!" and are using them simply to make calls and text their friends, why would you bother
1) equipping your entire lineup with enough hardware to support three years of OS releases (e.g. iPhones tend to have top-notch GPUs at the time of their release), and
2) porting OS releases to all of your phones, not just the high-end ones? Android 2.X makes calls, sends texts, and performs google searches perfectly well. If you foisted the latest OS on everyone, your customers who use their devices as glorified featurephones would probably complain about everything looking different. At the end of the day you would have little to show for your effort.
Actually the
Oppo Find 5 and other Oppo phones have community driven updates. The company relies on community developers to help them with updates and releases.
The Oppo is a pretty neat phone, I think if I was to buy a Android phone it would be that one. Engadget and Gizmodo give it high marks and the fact that it is a community driven project makes it even more interesting. Way to go guys, we need more companies like this.

Don't tell these Android using XDA members. They won't admit that we're right. They like this hobbyist approach to supporting a smartphone. It gives them Total Control, customization, widgets, file management and they just won't listen. We're dealing with child like mentality that's too spoiled to understand why we won't be suckered into it. It's almost futile to discuss it with them. have you ever dealt with a 12 year old that INTO something kinda stupid? They won't listen to rational thought processes using a certain amount of logic.

Go to an Android site, maybe you'll find people interested in an Android phone.
Hint, Know your audience.
Bye bye Relic, maybe one of these days you'll get the hint.

There are very few custom ROMs that are built from the ground up like CyanogenMod was. Companies like HTC and Samsung also release the source code for their versions of Android and developers make adjustments from those as a starting point. In the event of getting something like Jelly Bean on an older phone a developer will port an official Jelly Bean ROM from the same company to an older phone (Sense to Sense or Touchwiz to Touchwiz) or go the AOSP or CyanogenMod route.

Hey, DroidFTW, go to XDA's site and tell people there about your Android revelations. This is not an Android site. I think you woke up thinking that AppleInsider was an Android Site. I'm sure you probably meant to type in AndroidInsider OR you really just go to Apple related sites to annoy everyone with Android information to other Android users.
Nobody cares about what you are talking about anymore. WE don't have to waste braincells knowing ANYTHING about silly little updating processes these OEM mfg are FORCING you to do because they are too lazy and cheap to support an OS they didn't even develop. They figure if you screw up your phone, you'll just buy a new one. They seem to have you suckered into a flawed business model HOOK, LIINE, and SINKER.
Actually the Oppo Find 5 and other Oppo phones have community driven updates. The company relies on community developers to help them with updates and releases.
I've heard of the Oppo but only by name and didn't know much about it. Sounds neat! Do you know if it's an Android phone or just compatible with Android?

EDIT: It's Android.
No it isn't it's a WIndows phone. /s Jeez, doesn't anyone know how to go to a mfg's site and just read the specs instead of bothering people?
"No interest in Android"? LOL Can you find any week on AI where this site's obsession with Android isn't evident in multiple headlines?
Judging by the amount of comments on Android articles as opposed to Apple articles, I'd venture the Android articles get more clicks on average which translates to more revenue for AI.

I've made complaints about how they should either start another site with just Android related articles for people like yourself so we know not to go there. Cult of Mac is being stupid because they post Android related articles on the Cult of Mac site and link it to their Cult of Android site and I'm hoping AI will just create another Android related site and not make the same mistake Cult of Mac did.
Some of these Mac rumor sites have gone downhill.
Mac Rumors seems to be better at sticking to more Apple related articles and not throwing too much Android crap on their site.

Given how frequently AppleInsider writes about Android, it's bound to attract android followers. Here are some unscientific numbers. On AppleInsider's front page there are no less than six stories pertaining to android or samsung phones. At the time of this posting, Androidcentral.com doesn't contain a single instance of the word "apple".

That's why I don't go to Androidcentral. I do make comments asking AI to not post Android specific related articles. Maybe some day they will listen and you will not continue to bother us. I don't bother you on Androidcentral, so maybe you should do the same and display a little etiquette. Some of the articles are pointing out the known flaws of Android or other platforms and comparing to Apple, which I find interesting. Platform fragmentation or SERIOUS security issues should be of great concern to people, regardless of which platform and discuss how one company's approach is better than the other. But to go into detail about Android/XDA? Go else where for isn't necessary because it makes you sound like someone that's desperate to get Apple users to like Android, when most of us don't.
For whatever features that Android has that iPhones don't. Apple had to get rid of their former development manager so they could get a better group to get back on track and so far, so good. Yeah, iOS has had some disappointments due to Forstall, but those days are over and the new group seems to be getting back on track and so far so good.
WIth Apple, they develop both the OS and the hardware down to the processor. For these OEM Android mfg, they either don't develop the OS, or processors, or other technology and they are focus on certain things and supporting the OS with timely updates isn't one of them.
Even Samsung doesn't always use their own processors. why? I haven't a clue why they wouldn't use their own processors on their products.
I don't think there is another company that develops as much of the actual product between the OS, hardware, components and first party apps as much as Apple and they also do the best job in supporting their platform than anyone else.
I come here for Apple news as well. I'm interested in iOS and Android.
Well, then let me give you a suggestion. if you want to talk Apple, then you are in the right place. If you want to discuss Android, go to an Android centric site. That will make everyone happy. That's why I don't go to Android sites unless i'm going to read about something of interest, but I don't post comments there with my viewpoints on what I see about that platform to get others riled up over it.
Why they posted this article on this site, I don't know what the moderator's intentions were. Personally, if AI created a Android centric site, great. separate the two, make life easy so you and I don't go at each other's throats. Then you go to one site to discuss whichever platform is the topic of discussion.
I, by nature because of the training that I've had on how to analyze things, I have to look at the pros and cons of the discussion and place the weight accordingly in order to arrive at my decision. Something I think it lacking in the vast majority of the population. A lot of people are easily suckered into things. Sometimes we don't realize it until much later after the problems surface to the point where we have to change direction.
I used have to read up on every technology, mfg, etc. because I was paid to do as it was part of my job. I had to be up to speed on IBM, Compaq, Apple, Microsoft, etc. etc. I don't get paid to do that, so I only really care about things that I actually use or plan on using, which is why I'm here. But I do know how to analyze things in ways most people don't because of their lack of training.
SIDE NOTE: The ONLY reason that I can see why AI posted this article in the first place, being an Apple Centric site, is to dig in to a SERIOUS flaw in the Android platform giving Apple users more reasons to not want to use Android and to give us more ammunition as to why we choose to use Apple instead.. But posting this type of article on this type of site will get people riled up that are supportive of the Android platform as some (many) might be in a certain degree of denial about this SERIOUS SECURITY problem that might threaten a platform. In all my time, this may be a serious deal breaker for a LOT of Enterprise customers, and others that will avoid using Android. Google may in fact have to switch gears and make a direction change to avoid this in the future that may close up this Open system. If I were Google's position, I would have to make some rather serious decisions as to how to deal with this platform moving forward to avoid this problem and how it affects 900 Million users. If they don't, there are a lot of people waiting for Android switchers to go to another platform. It's happening to a certain degree with Microsoft.
drblank, for a person who hates Android as much as you do you sure talk about it more then anyone has so far in this thread. This thread, an Android thread, where you argue that you hate all this conversations about Android. You told me many times that I should leave, well we all know that's not going to happen as I was here first by 4 years. However, since you do not like discussing this topic why are you in here. I know, your being a troll, attacking anyone who has any positive thing to say about Android. Yes, this is a Apple eccentric site but many of us use multiple systems with our Mac products. Did you know you that you can connect your Android phone to a Mac computer, there you go, it's now Mac related. Please do us and your blood pressure a solid a please re-frame from ever posting in another thread with the word's Android again, actually any thread that doesn't have to deal directly with Apple as you seem to hate everything but. I don't like talking this way, but you have got to stop, it's just one sarcastic, down right nasty post after another. We get it already, you don't like Android, move on.

Well, for someone that is supposed be educated, you certainly have made no valid reasons as to why you even use Android. I'm just explaing what YOU and others have a difficult time admitting.
I only registered in 2006. but I've been visiting this site within a couple of months after they first went on-line, whenever that was.
Relic.STOP trying to post pro-Android comments on a Apple related site, and then we won't have any problems, but you won't stop doing that. I would at least like to have intelligent discussions, but you are incapable of doing that with regards to Macs, so take your Android comments over to an Android site.

That's comedy. Macrumors is basically an android fanboy troll fest posing as an Apple centric site.
Generally, android shills, and Samsung trolls love to hang out in Apple forums far more than Apple users go to android forums.
