View 1 Replies View RelatedI am no security expert and have not thought this out all the way, but could a workable solution to the pirating problem be something like this:
1. The market clients (like Google Market, AndAppStore, SlideME) could record on their servers some kind of identifier about who bought the app and perhaps what Android device it was bought for. They already capture the who information.
2. Android apps that care can, on first launch, ask the user about their identifier and what service they bought the app from.
3. The app, or the servers that support the app, can query, via http, the market client service to ask did so-and-so get this app from you?
4. If an affirmative response can be had then the app is not pirated. Otherwise the app is pirated
Google Market, AndAppStore, SlideME, etc... will need to make such a service available, via http.
It would be straight-forward to generate a list of installed market clients for the user to select from. The market clients may even be able to supply the user identification so user does not need to enter it.
The application could retrieve from its servers the list of market clients is believes are legitimate in order to prevent the bogus clients from spoofing it.
If you installed an app w/out a market client and the app did not intend for such an installation to happen, like on rooted phones using adb, then the app is pirated.
And finally, could this process be invisible to the user and just involve communication between the app and installed market clients and the market clients servers and the apps servers?
I was just wondering what your thoughts are on having some law enforcement on your side as well as legal protection. As an independent developer its hard to afford legal nonsense like this. In your experience has it been worth it to include legal agreements with your apps and do you have protection like a LLC to protect yourself from being sued into oblivion?
Also what licenses are freely available that might be of interest?
I would like to move my Family Guy episodes and perhaps Caddyshack or any other great movie to my DInc but alas iTunes has shut me down with AAC protection. Some of the other posts I saw suggested using Doubletwist which I downloaded on my Mac and seems like it would work, yet the files are still protected so that doesn't help. Another said to use FairGame to take the DRM protection off of the file so I can transfer them, but that didn't work either. Is there ANY easy answer that won't cost me anything or be difficult to do? Anybody out there already do this on their DInc?

1. what if you used one of those screen protector and cut a circle to place onto the camera glass? will that degrade picture quality?
2. HTC Evo 4G Magnet Mount Conversion Lens, FREE Shipping, HTC Evo 4G PHONE Magnet Mount Conversion Lens what if you attached the included circular magnetic piece (kinda like a washer) to act as a spacer?
3. like the magnetic spacer, maybe add a small strip of rubber with adhesive on the back to raise up the top of the phone and create a very small space between the surface and the camera. similar to feets found under a laptop.
4. small adhesive rubber dots... like those placed on your laptop's bezel around the lcd
I'm having a lot of issues where people can't even find my app in the Android Market. It appears that it's all because of copy protection, which I WISH I had never even seen, much less activated in my app. So, can Google PLEASE, response and let me know what will happen if I disable it now? What will happen to my existing customers? I've not seen a single definitive answer on this topic.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI have an app with Copy Protection on. Since a number of users have reported being unable to find the app on Market since upgrading to 2.1, I have researched the issue and copy protection seems to be the culprit. Turning off copy protection is the answer, but it seems that it leads to file access problems and can require a reinstall, which is not a very good user experience.
However, this ought to have been fixed in 1.6 which means I should be able to turn off copy protection and everything is ok. But some people have still encountered this issue and their users had to reinstall. So, my question is this, if I turn off copy protection, will all users have to reinstall the app? Will only 1.5 users have to reinstall (30%)?
I have the Evo Naked and I wanted to somehow protect the Camera. I cut a small circle of Screen Protector for the Back Camera for protection. I cant tell a difference on pics that I have taken with the protection on or off. I used a standard screen protector from sprint.

Is there a software to achive it?
Protection can be secured with a password, pin or whatever.
I tried to find such a program but no luck.
Theft protection software is crucial these days on every smartphone and chosing the right one is not really easy. I've only been using SeekDroid and have been thinking about trying Prey so far, but while I read an article about Theft Aware functioning beyond factory reset of the phone, this riddle came to my mind:
What if the phone gets stolen by someone knowing how to flash a new ROM or read about it? I've got 4EXT (always latest version) installed - is there some software that integrates into recovery and cannot be deleted without the correct code or something?
I'm trying to figure out a way to get the movies that I purchased on iTunes onto my Droid. But when I tried to upload them using Double Twist it said they were protected. Is there anyway to get around the protection? Or has anyone had any luck getting itunes purchased movies onto their Droid?
View 13 Replies View RelatedHas anyone turned off copy protection on their app recently? We're finding that Motorola Backflip users can't see our paid apps, so we'd like to turn off copy protection as it doesn't seem to prevent pirating. But, we're worried that existing users will lose their saved preferences. According to bug 2047, the issue was fixed in November 2009, but according to some discussions, it actually still exists. It'd be great to hear positive or negative examples from anyone who's tried this recently. We're also thinking of putting out a dummy app to test things out and will report back if we do.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn my app, I access my sqlite database at the following hard-coded location in my code: /data/data/ com.mydomain.appname/databases/database.db
If I turn ON copy protection in the Market Place, will my app still have access to this location?
Or will I have to change it to something like: /data-private/data/ com.mydomain.appname/databases/database.db
(or something like this)
Since I have a Dev phone only, I have no way of testing to see if my app still functions normally after turning on copy protection.
I'm considering getting a screen protector, but I'm also wondering how much it'll affect sensitivity/responsiveness. If I do get something to protect my phone, what is the best material/brand/manufacturer to go with? Or perhaps just a leather case would be enough? That way the screen stays perfect and it's still protected when I'm not using it.
After all, I heard the screen quality is pretty good. It's glass, or am I thinking of a different phone? It might not be a "Gorilla" screen like the Samsung Galaxy, but I've heard it's pretty resilient. I think it should be ok with just a leather case, unless anyone here's already got some bad experiences with the screen?
Touchdown works great with my exchange account. The only problem is it asks for password each time after my phone has slept. Anyway to get rid of the password protection? I don't mind to type it in when the program launches the first time but asking for password every 5 min is simply annoying!!

View 4 Replies View Related1. When the "copy protection" checkbox was first introduced on Android Market, I heard about a lot of issues with people not being able to download etc. Have those issues been resolved now? If I turn on copy- protection on an app with over 10K active users, do I risk a major rebellion?
2. I'd like to sell my app on other stores like slideme, andappstore and handango. Since some of these just redirect the user to your own site to download the app, there needs to be a license key that authenticates the user and unlocks his app. I saw that andappstore has a framework for that (not sure if that will only work with them or is a generic solution). I'm looking for a free, generic licensing solution. Is there one that you know of or use? My concern is to not throw in a wrench in the process of user download and use of the app, where I start getting a ton of emails from people whose keys arent working or asking for new keys etc, where license support turns into a full-time activity.
Off (Application can be copied from the device) On (Helps prevent copying of this application from the device. Increases the amount of memory required by users to install the application) AFAIK apps are *always* installed in device's internal memory. Right? Hence, apps can't be copied (with stock G1 w/o any mods).

For example if users using 1.6 and greater will not be impacted but users still running 1.5 would have to reinstall and resetup the application I could live with that.
