I did a small write up on my tech blog (19incheswide.com) about Cyanogen and Google. I understand that Google has a point, still doesn't mean that I'm not pissed at Google about it. I just am.
As for an idea that might put some of this to rest. Google, is there a possibility that you can build an App Pack for carriers or phones that are "Google Phones". I bought my phone from a T-Mobile store. Personally I feel that I should have the right to continue to run the apps because I have bought a license to run the apps on this phone. I personally didn't think that I violated any rules by running a modified version for Android. The reason for the App Pack is because of the deal(s) that YOU (Google) and T-Mobile seem to have made at some point in time. At YouTube is not in the market place I can only assume that the YouTube app was part of the T-Mobile deal. Google, you should be able to make App Packs based on the type of phone and the carrier that I have. Google Maps seems to be free as it is in the Market Place. Then again, I soon will not be able to get to the Market Place because there is no way for me to install it. I'm also going to miss the integration of Google in my phone, with my contacts, calendar, maps, and gmail. I was in the process of moving things to Google from other accounts, but it seems I will have to wait until things are sorted out with CyanogenMod to be able to continue my working with Google. I bought the phone not because of YOU (Google) but because it was OSS. I will continue to use Android and Android Mods like Cyanogen, with or without Google integration. So You and T-Mobile get together and make an AppPack that the rest of us can use that own a G1 / MyTouch and bought them from T-Mobile. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
