So in other words no actual products on shelves which backs up what I've been saying all along, the "AMD does it too!" is nothing but FUD being shoved out probably by fanboys.
I never bother with third party roms since I have not the time nor the prerequisite android coding exp to vet their code, whereas with first party roms as we have seen with BLU researchers will find out if they are doing anything nasty soon enough.
The hardware is good and affordable and easy to unlock, that is what matters to me. simply strip out anything you do not want, install the apps you do and voila! Your own custom phone that only does what YOU want.
BLU doesn't do anything other than rebrand Chinese phones so all they have to do is change their name and the address on their letterhead and away they go, not like BLU was a top shelf brand in the first place.
For those that want a cheap Android phone without all the bullshit? Get an Alcatel, they have an app on their phones that let you root it in under 3 minutes without using any third party malware like Kingoroot. I had mine rooted 4 minutes after booting, it was simple and easy and the phones are actually nice for the price.
Can ANYBODY provide any REAL evidence of this supposed AMD ARM chip? Because I have scoured the net and have only found a couple of 2012 articles saying "We plan to do this sometime" and ZERO actual code, ZERO actual layouts showing the location of this ARM core, and ZERO lists of any actual CPU/APU that have this installed.
The only actual facts I can find are 1.- AMD licensed an ARM Coretex 5, and 2.- They have used it on exactly ONE CHIP, the Jaguar APU which they sold to MSFT and Sony for their game consoles, that's it. NO other chips, NO security features that having such a chip would have that would appeal to business customers like remote corporate control of assets, not a damned thing but a bunch of FUD that all trace back to the same articles from 2012.
Its not big pharma that is the issue, its the fact that so many want to play lawsuit lotto. Let me give an example I know personally.
A relative was eaten alive by psoriasis, I mean he looked like he had been burned and it would rip and bleed everywhere if you looked at him funny. Then out comes this new drug and it worked like magic, the catch? You had to watch a video and get not one but TWO lectures from your doctor about not having children for 10 years after quitting this drug because it could cause flipper babies. He had to sign a form saying he would not get any woman pregnant for 10 years and he would like the drug now instead of waiting so he could have sperm frozen...can you guess where this is going? If you said "two bitches took the drug and then went out, had unprotected sex, got pregnant and then when they had flipper babies played the lawsuit lotto got a fortune and caused the drug to be taken off the shelves in the USA" then you win a cigar!
Now you can only get that drug in Japan so he can't get his hands on it, the drugs they have him on now are failing and he has to suffer all kinds of horrible side effects, all because 2 sluts and an ambulance chaser played lawsuit lotto and won big money. THAT is why you have to have so many damned hoops in the USA, THAT is why drug companies have to charge insane amounts to build up lawsuit warchests, because it doesn't matter in this country how many times you warn them of side effects or how many forms they sign all it takes is someone who wants to play lawsuit lotto and a jury filled with 12 dumbfucks too stupid to get out of jury duty and a drug company can instantly lose tens and even hundreds of millions just poof!
Exactly. The problem with the whole "source code equals safer" is that the argument breaks down into a giant is ought problem because the user is assuming because the source IS available that someone with the requisite skills and years of experience in code analysis OUGHT to be vetting the code and time and time again we have seen that simply isn't the case.
If its something like a voting machine, where you have groups willing to spend the money to hire experienced programmers to go over the code with a fine tooth comb? Then having the source is a benefit. If its some little program like this that few people have heard of and even less care about? You can have source all day long and still have shit like this because nobody is looking at that code but the guys working on the thing.
Personally I'd love to see stats on the source code for all the various programs and utilities that make up a Linux distro to see how many other than the devs are actually accessing that code, I have a feeling for a good portion the source code is never accessed by anybody that isn't directly involved with the code. I mean show of hands...how many here have vetted the KDE networking app? The little apps that are always included like screensavers and the googly eyes app? Not to mention all the third party programs that are often included like GnuCash or Gimp.
Just because you have the code available doesn't mean anybody with the skills to properly vet that code has ever bothered to look at it even once and with the amount of changes to so many pieces happening constantly I seriously doubt if you had a dozen highly experienced programmers that they could vet the code for even a single release of a distro before it was already replaced by 2-3 new releases.
And how EXACTLY is Bernie gonna pay for all these pie in the sky ideas like Medicare for all? Cuz I hate to break the news to ya but even if you dropped the military spending to zero, just fire everyone and shut down the US military tomorrow, you still wouldn't even get a third of the money you'd require to keep that program afloat.
The manufacturing jobs are gone, the rich are moving their money overseas, how are you gonna pay for this? Read TFS the millennials are flat broke and are gonna end up worse off than their parents who are worse off than their parents, the prices of drugs and medical care is going through the roof, so how EXACTLY are you gonna pay for it?
And thanks to wikileaks we now know the dem primary was as rigged as a game of three card monty so is anyone surprised the young don't give a rat's ass about voting? BTW you can thanks Shillary for Trump, look up "Hillary pied piper candidate" and you'll see she was the one who pushed Trump, thinking her stench of corruption would be masked by his big mouth, not realizing she was so unliked the corpse of Richard Nixon would beat her in a general election.
If it wasn't for her and her corrupt pals we'd already have president Bernie but I have a feeling her legacy is gonna be to condemn the DNC to the dustbin of history as nobody is gonna buy their bullshit after seeing the people's vote ain't worth shit compared to their corruption.
Uhhh My Alcatel Flint didn't come with FB so I didn't have to uninstall it, not that it would have been a problem because you can root an Alcatel phone in under 4 minutes using only the software provided by Alcatel, no third party malware like Kingoroot required.
So no reason to get locked into the Apple iGarden, not when you can spend 5 minutes Googling to find a phone with the features you want that allows users to easily root.
Switch to Pale Moon. They haven't been using any FF upstream since the Australis fuckfest and its been doing great, just rock solid classic FF without the bullshit. They have done a ton of tweaking to make FF run better, have better support for video formats, security patches, etc and the devs have been great about answering their users and actually listening to them instead of giving them the bird like Mozilla did!
So please ask any extension devs that make extensions you love to switch to PM, that is what I did and you'd be surprised how many of them are now making their extensions for PM. For any extensions that are not going forward you can talk to the PM devs, they are making their own repo for extensions and its growing by the day.
What I love about my Acatel (I abuse phones so I went for the One Touch Flint and was amazed by the quality, all day battery life and even plays 3d games quite well) is how easy it was to root without any bullshit malware like kingoroot. It was less than 3 minutes from unboxing the Flint before it was rooted, hell I didn't even have my sim card in it!
Making it easy to root the device if the user wants to? Gives them a BIG thumbs up from me, and anybody who has gone through hell trying to root a phone that isn't from a major manufacturer will know how fucking awesome that is!
Alcatel has some nice phones in smaller form factors, I personally prefer the larger phones myself but if they want a smaller android phone that would probably be the company to go for. I personally prefer Alcatel because you can trivially root them WITHOUT having to use any third party malware like kingoroot, you can literally take an Alcatel out of the box and using nothing but their own installed app have the phone rooted in under 3 minutes.
Dude I fucking dare you to go read the Podesta emails and come back here with a straight face and tell us he and his buddies at the pizza place aren't fucking pedos, I dare you. I'll even give you the places to start, start with the Podesta "hot tub" email and follow that with the paintings of children hanging up in that place.
Just because a nut tried to take the law into his own hands does NOT mean the people there aren't fucking scumbags. Or are you gonna really stand here and tell us that a 50 year old man having 7-9 year old girls waiting for him in a hot tub as "entertainment" while his buddies at the pizza place have pictures on the wall of young kids in underwear with their asses red and frightened looks on their faces is completely normal?
Oh please! The Russians didn't have to do shit, Shillary destroying evidence, taking hammers to her devices, and shilling her office to Qatar while calling everyone who disagreed with her an "ist" guaranteed you could run the corpse of Jimmy Hoffa and kick her ass!
Look up her approval numbers before the election...it was at 16%, after all the media slobbering all over her and singing her praises for nearly 2 years? Her numbers were..drumroll...15%. the woman was and is HATED because she is a lying manipulative shill who thinks her shit don't stink and that you are too stupid to see through her obviously phony spin. There was literally NOBODY in the democratic party with worse numbers than her, NOBODY. Not Bernie, not Warren, hell I bet Gary Hart has better approval ratings than her!
All wikileaks did was give us the details to the underhanded shit we already knew she was doing. We already knew about her destroying evidence, already knew of her taking huge checks from Wall Street, already knew about how she flip flopped and changed direction more than a wind sock in a hurricane, there was nothing positive about that woman but because she was asshole buddies with the money men and insiders they thought they could force her down the public's throats because they thought we were too fucking stupid to see through their obvious propaganda.
BTW you can thank her for Trump, look up "Clinton pied piper candidate" and you'll see how she told the media to suck up and sing Trump's praises because she thought her identity politics would be an easy sell when facing him instead of a more traditional candidate...well she found out what any pollster that wasn't on her payroll could have told her, that a 60 year old mummified turd from Richard Nixon would draw more positive numbers than she would!
I still give it to customers for use on their HTPCs as I've found most customers like to have the visualizations going when they are playing their music, gives their guests something to look at as they are passing by the screen at parties, and winamp has to be the easiest that I've found for computer noobs to use. Layout for the songs/artist/album on the left, and a big easy to hit visualization tab in the middle...couldn't be simpler to use and it takes me less than 3 minutes to show even the most noobish how to make playlists in winamp.
Ya know there are plenty of times a customer doesn't want all the bells and whistles, they just want simple and easy and with winamp having a ton of visualizations built in as well as several auto generated playlists that customers just seem to love? It was really a no brainer to put it on my standard install stick, just a great player for HTPCs.
The stock market is setting records, unemployment is at a 16 year low, crime on the border is way down, and he hasn't started any wars like Shillary was foaming at the mouth for with Iran and Syria not to mention Russia...seriously WTF does the whiny ass left want?
I mean did anybody actually WATCH his statement against the violence in NC or did you just buy the bullshit FNN (fake news network which anybody on the left who still believes CNN after the producer was caught on camera admitting he was pushing fake stories is fucking retarded and needs a safe space with rubber bumpers so they don't hurt themselves) because he condemned the violence on ALL sides and I hate to break the news to ya but antifa was there as well doing their usual fascist shtick of wearing masks and beating people they disagree with but of course since antifa is communist and the FNN and their friends are socialists, can't say anything about that, nope. You can beat all the people you want...as long as they are the correct skin color or hold beliefs that you do not.
Sorry but racist shit is racist shit and as anybody who has actually watched the raw footage can plainly see BOTH SIDES went their looking for a fight and got exactly what they were looking for. Personally I say wall it off and let them kill each other, the less antifa and nazis there are in the world the better the world is, win/win.
As long as you support the corporatist cabal that is the DNC instead of demanding investigations and jail time for those that rigged the primary against Bernie as well as jail time for Shillary for obstruction and destroying evidence? Then all you are gonna have is Coke in a bottle VS Coke in a can, there is so little difference between the 2 parties its not even coke VS pepsi anymore.
There has to be an end to being hypocrites and allowing corrupt behavior as long as its "our" party like its a fucking ball team or allowing crimes because "Hey if we do something about it then ZOMFG we'll help the other side OMG!", Shillary and the DNC rigged the primary, thanks to Wikileaks we have more than enough evidence to prove that, and Comey laid out more than enough criminal activity to convict HRC. Its time we demand her and her cabal go to jail, clean the gutters of the corporate trash controlling the DNC, and then in 2020 we the people can actually have a say and choose a decent candidate instead of having a corporate shill shoved upon us.
Yeah and you still watched as the DNC rigged the primary and got in bed with the MSM to push Shillary and her bankster agenda, and how many of you demanded an investigation into HRC and the DNC? How many of you will support an investigation now because you think it will help Trump?
A hypocrite is a hypocrite and any Bernie backer who doesn't support an investigation into the laundry list of crimes by HRC and the DNC deserve to be kicked to the curb, because you are helping the corrupt to stay in power.
Because reality doesn't follow political narrative and there are things that men are better than women at just as there are things women are better than men at? Women have much better language skills and make better translators, they also are better able to read body language and are therefor good in roles such as hostage negotiation. Women also make better fighter pilots do to the way the female body handles G-forces compared to men, a woman will handle more before passing out than a guy will. Are women better or worse engineers? IDK as I haven't sen any studies and in todays "all that matters is politics" climate I doubt I will because if a study has conclusions that don't fit the political narrative there can be serious risks for the career of the one doing the study.
Of course if regressives weren't racist and sexist we would simply judge people NOT on their skin color or race but simply on their merits and ability to do a job but from reading the memo? Is sadly not what is going on there, its the same old "diversity" bullshit where diversity is a code word for tokenism and discrimination.
Podesta is a fucking pedo, Breitbart nailed that before he died, its obvious by reading the "hot tub" email that Podesta and his friends are all pedos.
Which makes me wonder if that isn't why we are seeing so much of the MSM is ignoring Podesta and going after Trump, because Trump has had the FBI going after pedos and Podesta showed there are a LOT of pervs in high levels in DC.
Yet despite the fact that all I have said is backed by solid evidence including incriminating statements, emails, and proof of lying under oath and destruction of evidence the Shillary SJW army will try their best to bury anyone who disagrees with their false political narrative.
Those of us who actually supported the non shill candidates (I personally supported Sanders) got to see the entire primary process shown to be a sham and as rigged as a game of three card monty by a group of banksters and foreign influence by countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar...yet we are supposed to buy their "ZOMFG its teh Russians!" bullshit? When even the bigwigs at CNN admitted on camera that its bullshit?
It just shows how many have been turned into bleating sheep by identity politics, because we literally have proof of their crimes in their own words with emails, hidden cameras, and sworn statements before congress but sadly so many here are so fucking brainwashed the MSM can say "Who are ya gonna believe, us or your lying eyes?" and they will ignore mountains of evidence because it doesn't support their warped failed political narrative.
That is what was said when MSFT came out with WinCE and WinPhone...how did that work out for them? The sad part is having used all three major OSes I'd say WinPhone should have the second if not the first place if you based it on actual ease of use and giving control to the end user but the network effect went against MSFT showing that having the best product doesn't mean its gonna win.
MSFT simply does not have a good track record on making inroads into areas that aren't directly connected to their core strengths of Windows, Office, and Xbox and I've seen nothing to make me believe this will change anytime soon under Nutella.
What I find hilarious is thanks to Wikileaks we have more than enough evidence to prove there was major collusion between the DNC and several large news outlets to ignore crimes and influence the election but the thing we are supposed to care about is Russia MIGHT have acted like Internet trolls and went "psst psst"....really? Do they REALLY expect us to be Russia having some Internet trolls makes them more powerful than a dozen billion dollar news outlets and the DNC when it comes to affecting our election process? Really?
The DNC and HRC rigged the primary to insure Bernie couldn't win, the MSM in cahoots with the DNC went out of their way to ignore evidence of crimes committed by HRC including but not limited to lying under oath to congress, lying to the FBI, and destroying evidence that was under subpoena, we even had a former president having a secret meeting with the person in charge of investigating his wife who in turn ordered the head of the FBI to change his language to cover up the fact HRC was under investigation, but we should care about Russian trolls...really?
I think we can all see who the REAL threat to democracy is, its the fake news outlets like CNN who are in the pocket of the DNC and whom have a vested interest NOT in reporting facts but pushing a political narrative. Between Wikileaks and Project Veritas I'd say we have more than enough evidence for arrests to be made...so why aren't we making them? Who is covering for those that were helping the DNC to shove HRC down our throats? This is what we really should be investigating because if we do not? Its never gonna matter what the people do on a grass roots level because the corporate masters can sit in a back room and choose who is gonna win the primaries no matter what.
Oh and for those that think Shillary and the DNC could do no wrong? You have them to thank for Donald Trump, look up "pied piper candidate" and see for yourself how Shillary and her pet MSM pushed Trump because they figured with her identity politics would play well against him compared to more mainstream candidates like Bush or Cruz.
You can root them with NO third party apps and then remove anything you do not care for, easy peasy. If you have an Alcatel or plan to buy one here is how you root it in under 2 minutes..
Alcatel has its own "system updates" app. If you tap the three dots in the right hand corner and then hit "Help", then hit the "Auto -Check Intervals" button a bunch, it will unlock "Advanced Mode." Go back and tap the three dots again and it will be under "help." When you go into this advanced mode, it will ask you for a "tester password". The pass is fotaapp*#1221#.
As far as BLU goes? They are a company that just rebrands Chinese smartphones and sells them in the US, I seriously doubt they have even a handful of devs so it really doesn't surprise me they are using third parties for updates as they are just middlemen.
Then buy an Alcatel phone as they have built in rooting capability with no external software required. For those that want to know how this is how you do it and I've tested in on my own phone (Alcatel Flint) and it works and takes less than 2 minutes...
Alcatel has its own "system updates" app. If
you tap the three dots in the right hand corner and then hit

And that is it, in under 2 minutes you will have a rooted phone you can do with what you will.
Actually this is a VERY sad day because what do we have to replace it that is actually BETTER than Flash......anyone? Beuller?
HTML V5 is WORSE in every measure, it sucks more resources, uses more CPU cycles, uses a codec that is a minefield of patents, and has everyone forgotten the fact that DRM is now gonna be baked into browsers just to support HTML V5? I'm all for replacing Flash but with something BETTER than Flash, what we are gonna be getting? Is worse for everyone but big corps and big media who can use it to make sure video only plays on approved OSes on approved devices. Remember folks Adobe didn't give a shit, you weren't gonna be buried in lawsuits from Adobe like MPEG-LA, hell Adobe didn't even say boo about Gnash or distros including Flash in their default installs!
Mark my words HTML V5 is a love letter to the big three (Apple,Google, MSFT) and if you think because Google uses a (GPL V2 only) Linux kernel means Linux will be allowed up to the table? Think again. Mark my words 5 years from now the day Flash died will be looked upon as a black day, a day we took one more big step towards turning PCs into corporate owned black boxes that become obsolete when the corp owners say it does.

The stock market is setting records, unemployment is at a 16 year low, crime on the border is way down, and he hasn't started any wars like Shillary was foaming at the mouth for with Iran and Syria not to mention Russia...seriously WTF does the whiny ass left want?
I mean did anybody actually WATCH his statement against the violence in NC or did you just buy the bullshit FNN (fake news network which anybody on the left who still believes CNN after the producer was caught on camera admitting he was pushing fake stories is fucking retarded and needs a safe space with rubber bumpers so they don't hurt themselves) because he condemned the violence on ALL sides and I hate to break the news to ya but antifa was there as well doing their usual fascist shtick of wearing masks and beating people they disagree with but of course since antifa is communist and the FNN and their friends are socialists, can't say anything about that, nope. You can beat all the people you want...as long as they are the correct skin color or hold beliefs that you do not.
Sorry but racist shit is racist shit and as anybody who has actually watched the raw footage can plainly see BOTH SIDES went their looking for a fight and got exactly what they were looking for. Personally I say wall it off and let them kill each other, the less antifa and nazis there are in the world the better the world is, win/win.
As long as you support the corporatist cabal that is the DNC instead of demanding investigations and jail time for those that rigged the primary against Bernie as well as jail time for Shillary for obstruction and destroying evidence? Then all you are gonna have is Coke in a bottle VS Coke in a can, there is so little difference between the 2 parties its not even coke VS pepsi anymore.
There has to be an end to being hypocrites and allowing corrupt behavior as long as its "our" party like its a fucking ball team or allowing crimes because "Hey if we do something about it then ZOMFG we'll help the other side OMG!", Shillary and the DNC rigged the primary, thanks to Wikileaks we have more than enough evidence to prove that, and Comey laid out more than enough criminal activity to convict HRC. Its time we demand her and her cabal go to jail, clean the gutters of the corporate trash controlling the DNC, and then in 2020 we the people can actually have a say and choose a decent candidate instead of having a corporate shill shoved upon us.
Yeah and you still watched as the DNC rigged the primary and got in bed with the MSM to push Shillary and her bankster agenda, and how many of you demanded an investigation into HRC and the DNC? How many of you will support an investigation now because you think it will help Trump?
A hypocrite is a hypocrite and any Bernie backer who doesn't support an investigation into the laundry list of crimes by HRC and the DNC deserve to be kicked to the curb, because you are helping the corrupt to stay in power.
Because reality doesn't follow political narrative and there are things that men are better than women at just as there are things women are better than men at? Women have much better language skills and make better translators, they also are better able to read body language and are therefor good in roles such as hostage negotiation. Women also make better fighter pilots do to the way the female body handles G-forces compared to men, a woman will handle more before passing out than a guy will. Are women better or worse engineers? IDK as I haven't sen any studies and in todays "all that matters is politics" climate I doubt I will because if a study has conclusions that don't fit the political narrative there can be serious risks for the career of the one doing the study.
Of course if regressives weren't racist and sexist we would simply judge people NOT on their skin color or race but simply on their merits and ability to do a job but from reading the memo? Is sadly not what is going on there, its the same old "diversity" bullshit where diversity is a code word for tokenism and discrimination.
Podesta is a fucking pedo, Breitbart nailed that before he died, its obvious by reading the "hot tub" email that Podesta and his friends are all pedos.
Which makes me wonder if that isn't why we are seeing so much of the MSM is ignoring Podesta and going after Trump, because Trump has had the FBI going after pedos and Podesta showed there are a LOT of pervs in high levels in DC.
Yet despite the fact that all I have said is backed by solid evidence including incriminating statements, emails, and proof of lying under oath and destruction of evidence the Shillary SJW army will try their best to bury anyone who disagrees with their false political narrative.
Those of us who actually supported the non shill candidates (I personally supported Sanders) got to see the entire primary process shown to be a sham and as rigged as a game of three card monty by a group of banksters and foreign influence by countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar...yet we are supposed to buy their "ZOMFG its teh Russians!" bullshit? When even the bigwigs at CNN admitted on camera that its bullshit?
It just shows how many have been turned into bleating sheep by identity politics, because we literally have proof of their crimes in their own words with emails, hidden cameras, and sworn statements before congress but sadly so many here are so fucking brainwashed the MSM can say "Who are ya gonna believe, us or your lying eyes?" and they will ignore mountains of evidence because it doesn't support their warped failed political narrative.
That is what was said when MSFT came out with WinCE and WinPhone...how did that work out for them? The sad part is having used all three major OSes I'd say WinPhone should have the second if not the first place if you based it on actual ease of use and giving control to the end user but the network effect went against MSFT showing that having the best product doesn't mean its gonna win.
MSFT simply does not have a good track record on making inroads into areas that aren't directly connected to their core strengths of Windows, Office, and Xbox and I've seen nothing to make me believe this will change anytime soon under Nutella.
What I find hilarious is thanks to Wikileaks we have more than enough evidence to prove there was major collusion between the DNC and several large news outlets to ignore crimes and influence the election but the thing we are supposed to care about is Russia MIGHT have acted like Internet trolls and went "psst psst"....really? Do they REALLY expect us to be Russia having some Internet trolls makes them more powerful than a dozen billion dollar news outlets and the DNC when it comes to affecting our election process? Really?
The DNC and HRC rigged the primary to insure Bernie couldn't win, the MSM in cahoots with the DNC went out of their way to ignore evidence of crimes committed by HRC including but not limited to lying under oath to congress, lying to the FBI, and destroying evidence that was under subpoena, we even had a former president having a secret meeting with the person in charge of investigating his wife who in turn ordered the head of the FBI to change his language to cover up the fact HRC was under investigation, but we should care about Russian trolls...really?
I think we can all see who the REAL threat to democracy is, its the fake news outlets like CNN who are in the pocket of the DNC and whom have a vested interest NOT in reporting facts but pushing a political narrative. Between Wikileaks and Project Veritas I'd say we have more than enough evidence for arrests to be made...so why aren't we making them? Who is covering for those that were helping the DNC to shove HRC down our throats? This is what we really should be investigating because if we do not? Its never gonna matter what the people do on a grass roots level because the corporate masters can sit in a back room and choose who is gonna win the primaries no matter what.
Oh and for those that think Shillary and the DNC could do no wrong? You have them to thank for Donald Trump, look up "pied piper candidate" and see for yourself how Shillary and her pet MSM pushed Trump because they figured with her identity politics would play well against him compared to more mainstream candidates like Bush or Cruz.
You can root them with NO third party apps and then remove anything you do not care for, easy peasy. If you have an Alcatel or plan to buy one here is how you root it in under 2 minutes..
Alcatel has its own "system updates" app. If you tap the three dots in the right hand corner and then hit "Help", then hit the "Auto -Check Intervals" button a bunch, it will unlock "Advanced Mode." Go back and tap the three dots again and it will be under "help." When you go into this advanced mode, it will ask you for a "tester password". The pass is fotaapp*#1221#.
As far as BLU goes? They are a company that just rebrands Chinese smartphones and sells them in the US, I seriously doubt they have even a handful of devs so it really doesn't surprise me they are using third parties for updates as they are just middlemen.
Then buy an Alcatel phone as they have built in rooting capability with no external software required. For those that want to know how this is how you do it and I've tested in on my own phone (Alcatel Flint) and it works and takes less than 2 minutes...

And that is it, in under 2 minutes you will have a rooted phone you can do with what you will.
Actually this is a VERY sad day because what do we have to replace it that is actually BETTER than Flash......anyone? Beuller?
HTML V5 is WORSE in every measure, it sucks more resources, uses more CPU cycles, uses a codec that is a minefield of patents, and has everyone forgotten the fact that DRM is now gonna be baked into browsers just to support HTML V5? I'm all for replacing Flash but with something BETTER than Flash, what we are gonna be getting? Is worse for everyone but big corps and big media who can use it to make sure video only plays on approved OSes on approved devices. Remember folks Adobe didn't give a shit, you weren't gonna be buried in lawsuits from Adobe like MPEG-LA, hell Adobe didn't even say boo about Gnash or distros including Flash in their default installs!
Mark my words HTML V5 is a love letter to the big three (Apple,Google, MSFT) and if you think because Google uses a (GPL V2 only) Linux kernel means Linux will be allowed up to the table? Think again. Mark my words 5 years from now the day Flash died will be looked upon as a black day, a day we took one more big step towards turning PCs into corporate owned black boxes that become obsolete when the corp owners say it does.
