@dd0bb create an app, publish it and share it for free for millions of users, now go back and rewrite 1000s of lines of code so your app functions across the board on all android devices across all platforms and OS's and every android build. Now on top of that add in 1000s upon 1000s of new lines of code and libs and resources and assets to implement new features and requests, while fixing bugs. Now do this every month when Google drops an update so your app continuously works across the board, all while keeping a tiny imprint on the ecosystem and not breaking functionality on older devices. Now try to work around all new security features that block root access or take away vulnerabilities so you can't access certain paths anymore. Now even after all that, make sure you are abiding by Google's rules and regulations,(archaic) and making sure all your credits and licenses are in order, push out a few alphas to test. Move on to private betas, and then possibly public power user betas, and hopefully soon after a working public release. If you skip any of this and start breaking devices or Google pulls your app or it is flagged as being malware or harmful, over 10 years of work could be lost forever. If Hootan wanted out, MiX easily could be sold to top bidder ala ES file explorer was to CM. And everyone knows what happened there. Anyways support development because you feel you should, for what you are using at that moment, now for what you may or may not get in the future.
