May I ask what does this app do that Billboard doesn't?

If it does something extra I'll want to try it too

how about: its not a disgusting piece of closed source crap thp threw in our faces instead of improving an already-existing open source solution for the benefit of all?

Maybe he has an explanation for it? I know someone contacted him asking him about apkenv (also closed) and its nature and came away convinced...

i believe his answer was that he wanted to make more money.

personally, i dont think people would have built their own debs from source instead of buying it for a dollar.

also, i would have donated quite a lot of money for it if it was open, as im sure would many people.

admiral0's 1.4.1 worked fine for me after i flashed an open kernel. this is more of a coincidence, though, rather than a requirement of lpsmagic.

personally, i think everyone should flash an open kernel anyway. if you are the sort who messes with stuff and tries out new experimental things, you are probably less likely to brick your phone if you do.

the actual bug is trivial to fix, but no one has had the time or the phone {im still missing my n9} to fix it.
