[ROM][Sept26][INC S]Virtuous Unity 2.39.0 Sense 3.0 Based on Pyramid

I'm kind of disappointed to see that this rom has build in, hosts, ad blocking.

Without ads there's no income for developers, without income they won't have the drive to spend more time on developing.

This kind of a thing is bad for the overall android ecosystem.

Welp I'm all for it... Those ads are freaking annoying

You're not a developer than, you work for free in your real life too?

It takes countless hours, days, weeks, months to develop apps and maintain them. A lot of app developers are individuals, not companies. The least you an do is accept the ads being displayed when you got it for $0.

Well I hate to break the news but many people think those ads are annoying and won't even click on them. If they wanted to donate money to them they would, and if the devs wanted donations they would have a link; which most of them do. Also most devs have real jobs and create these roms and apps for the hell of it. Most of them don't even expect donations. And like I said if they did there would be a donate option placed somewhere other than in those annoying ads

Agree with IncredibleSlover, ads are annoying. If I like an app enough to want to rid the ads, even if it's the area where the ads would appear (but are blocked) I would still consider buying the app so the developer doesn't lose out.
If the ad blocker wasn't included in the ROM, I would be installing it myself anyway. AdFree is available free on the Market.
It doesn't work with all apps though, Angry Birds for example, so I also use DroidWall (also free from the Market) to stop the ads.
Developers only earn money from the ads if people click on them and I, for one, never click on any ads.

So after blocking the ads of an app you use how many times did you donate or bought the paid version ..yeah none.

If you were a developer you would realize how time consuming developing apps on Android is.

Excuse me? You have no right, absolutely NO right at all to assume that I have paid for none of my apps.
In fact, you're totally wrong in your assumption because I have bought and paid for a number of apps, apps which I felt worth paying for and supporting the developer and the app.

Now lets try asking you a question. If you don't believe in Ad Blockers (and assuming you really don't use one), how many ads have you clicked on every day/week/month to support the developers? Hmmmmm? Hmmmm?

 

[ptscon]

I never have installed an ad blocker.

Like every other person I don't go out of my way to click ads, I click if I see something interesting. By blocking ads you take this option away from the developer.

If a paid version is available, ad blocking is no different than stealing. When a ROM does it by default the end users aren't aware of it they assume the app they use is free, when in fact it's ad-supported.

If it wasn't for advertising the Internet itself wouldn't be where it is today.

Ptscon your opinions are not making any sense whatsoever. Blocking is the same as stealing!??? Lmao. And as I said before these developers don't always make apps or roms to make money. I buy a lot of apps. I still think the ads are annoying and if I want to buy a damn app I will buy it, also using cheap tacky remarks towards us isn't making you look any smarter buddy!!

You're obviously not a app developer so you wouldn't understand.

If you were to spend months of your free time developing and maintaining an app and would like to use ads I think your opinion would change.

I'm done responding unless you're an app developer.

I have just one more comment to make.

If I WAS an app developer, I would NOT include adverts.
I HATE them, so why would I inflict them on others?

Actually I have to give you my framework and system apk files because my batt mod is taking out the lights again. My framework file isn't the same as just the 2.39 anymore because I now have the animod app which modifies them
k get back to me and let me know

I'm not sure I understand. The Battery Mod consists of only the framework-res.apk

Are you telling me that the Animod thing you're using changes the framework-res.apk and system.apk files? Do the backlights work with Animod?

Yes the backlights work with animod but remember only your batt mods keep my backlights on...and for some reason when I make them in the kitchen they won't work and I'm doing everything right. So since my framework is different I'm going to have to send it to u ..... If u aren't busy.

OK, either send me the framework-res.apk or tell me where to download this Animod thing and I'll have a go. No promises though.

WAIT WAIT
I will post new files, just to make sure, because those ones are from before I restored last night.

 

[Legsmaniac]

Ok here they are!

Right, I have added the HoneyComb circles you last wanted.

I'm not sure it's gonna work because I have looked up Anim Mod by JRunny and I see it changes the framework files depending on what you select. If it alters the coding relating to the backlights then that's not my forte. Also, if you use the app to change something again later, chances are it could take out your lights again.

Best person to contact about this is probably JRunny or Tobacco. But give the above a try anyway. Let me know what happens.

OK use these ones PLEASE.
