As has been discussed many times, it is not that easy to implement. It's not impossible, just not that easy, particularly to work within the existing Android security framework. Moreover, there are only so many people on the core Android team with the expertise to implement it, and there are other demands being made of their time. If you'd like to help make it happen, you could: -- Contribute engineering time and skill and write a patch -- Start and promote a fundable or pledgie or something to raise funds from interested people, so the funders can hire somebody to build it -- Find ways to help simplify contributions to the open source project, and hope that with fewer barriers, more people will submit patches, and one of them will implement the feature you seek -- Pray that ADC II has a prize pool set up for firmware contributions (instead of only for apps), and then try to help out some team working to win an ADC II prize that is building an apps-on-SD feature -- Consider rooting to be a requirement for low-capacity phones and wait patiently for Android device manufacturers to offer more built-in capacity Those are just the ideas off the top of my head. I suspect there are more possibilities. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
