oh sorry i didn't know there were promises made re home button or lock app replacements. what were they? >Making it impossible to replace the screen lock app doesn't enhance >security. Knowing Android engineers will purposely write code to >break any discovered workarounds for the restrictions isn't enhancing >security either. do you really want lock app replacements that ship your phone ID and lock code around the network? >Fairly open != open. can you, or can you not, create exactly the Android distro you want? yes, you can. hence, open. the owners of distros, which could be you, decide how open particular distros are. >Apples and oranges. not at all -- stick whatever drivers you like in your distro. nobody else's distro is obliged to take them. ditto your lock app replacement or home button override. this arrangement is a feature, IMHO. -- jason.vp.engineering.particle -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
