CyanogenMod Installer Application Removed from Play Store

I find that's the problem with the android ecosystem it's basically the wild Wild West when it comes to app makers. And I'm not just saying that cause 99 percent of my devices are Apple. I had a android phone before I switched and I do have a galaxy tab tablet which I got from td for switching banks.I don't think this will slow down anyone that wants to install Cyanogen mod. Also I think it is quite fair for google to do this. They are supposed to support OEM android and not things that can result in you potentially destroying your phone.. even if that is a small probability.
I found and find with both devices I kept and keep getting storage is almost full messages which is really annoying cause the other day there was 2.36gigs available and then all of a sudden there .40gigs available. Basically I think it's a rouge movie app that keeps filling up the storage. It's to the point where I'm just going to reformat it back to factory settings.
The gf put on a app called movie box which is a streaming site so she did a app update so it's does not works now googled it and pretty much everyone who did the update says the same thing.
Our primary devices are iPads for tablets both of them works smoothly with no hiccups unlike the android tablet.
I just find the android ecosystem there to many variances and less control to it as opposed to apple ecosystem where most of the apps work and yes there that small percentage that has glitches but they generally fix the issues if there a problem unless it's a zombie app maker (dormant )
What? iOS has more control that Android? What the hell are you talking about? The control over android is virtually limitless.I just find the android ecosystem there to many variances and less control to it as opposed to apple ecosystem where most of the apps work
As for an apple ecosystem "where most of the apps work". Are you suggesting that most android apps don't work? If that's the case then you need to look up the word most in the dictionary.
First you left out this part of the quote small percentage that has glitches but they generally fix the issuesWhat? iOS has more control that Android? What the hell are you talking about? The control over android is virtually limitless.

And yes the apple ecosystem has more control compared to Google ecosystem
Does Apple’s degree of control occasionally border on the excessive? Yes. But consumers end up benefiting from that control more often than they are harmed. It’s only because Apple controls the entire product line that you can rent a movie iTunes on my Mac, and know that it will play on my iPad, my iPhone, and my Apple TV. It works reliably, consistently and predictably.
When I live in the Apple ecosystem, I make a deal with Apple: I’ll pay you, and in exchange, you make sure everything plays nicely together.Google doesn't seem to be interested in providing that kind of tightly integrated experience, at least not yet. What Apple does best is remember that technology only exists to serve its users, and goes far beyond a list of features and hardware specs. And that’s why Apple will continue to drive the future of computing, regardless of whether Google and others end up winning the numbers game.
You don't see things like this happening in the Apple ecosystem http://www.androidcentral.com/these-are-all-fake-bbm-apps-don-t-download-them
Ok. I did that for space saving so let me try again.First you left out this part of the quote small percentage that has glitches but they generally fix the issues [/COLOR]
Your sentence still implies that most apps available for google play don't work and that small amount broken apps on the apple app store that sneak through get fixed.I just find the android ecosystem there to many variances and less control to it as opposed to apple ecosystem where most of the apps work and yes there that small percentage that has glitches but they generally fix the issues if there a problem unless it's a zombie app maker (dormant )
Most means 50% + 1 at a minimum which would be well over half a million apps "not working".
That's an interesting viewpoint. I spend several hundred dollars on a product and a third party tells me how to use to to protect me from myself. What about when Google Voice was released for the iphone, having met all the requirements of the app store only to be removed because the telephone companies went nuts. Or the many other cases where apps are arbitrarily removed from the app store without explanation. Is that good for consumers?Does Apple’s degree of control occasionally border on the excessive? Yes. But consumers end up benefiting from that control more often than they are harmed.
Google play does the same thing. I can watch my rentals on my phone or tablet. I am pretty sure the $35 google chromecast dongle does the same thing for your tv.It’s only because Apple controls the entire product line that you can rent a movie iTunes on my Mac, and know that it will play on my iPad, my iPhone, and my Apple TV. It works reliably, consistently and predictably.
It has the added bonus of not having to install a piece of shit software like itunes on my computer.
Did they give you some money back when they forced a broken map app upon you?When I live in the Apple ecosystem, I make a deal with Apple: I’ll pay you, and in exchange, you make sure everything plays nicely together.
Actually they are trying to achieve that by centering the android experience around google + and it's ruining android. The openness and flexibility that makes it so great is being chipped away.Google doesn't seem to be interested in providing that kind of tightly integrated experience, at least not yet.
Don't kid yourself. Apple serves their shareholders the same as any other company. If they really gave a shit about their users there are many things that would be different like larger screens, removable batteries, being able to transfer a file to others with bluetooth and joining the standardized micro USB charger/cable format that THEY AGREED TO.What Apple does best is remember that technology only exists to serve its users, and goes far beyond a list of features and hardware specs.
You might be right but the last couple of years this has not been the case. Apple are falling behind the competition. Except for the fingerprint scanner most of the new "innovations" on iOS have been adding features that android has had for a long time.And that’s why Apple will continue to drive the future of computing, regardless of whether Google and others end up winning the numbers game
You're right it's shit that stuff like that happens. But that's the price of freedom. It requires a little responsiblity and thought. I worked in the IT industry for more than a decade and 90% of the problems had were self inflicted because the people were stupid and didn't take 3 seconds to think about what they were doing. It doesn't take genius level IQs to look for the app released by Blackberry when faced with dozens of "BBM" apps. It's like the morons that believe if they share a post on facebook apple is going to send them a free ipad. I don't want the services I use dumbed down to a level that is failsafe for those people. The freedom and choice I get with android outweigh the negatives ten fold.You don't see things like this happening in the Apple ecosystem http://www.androidcentral.com/these-are-all-fake-bbm-apps-don-t-download-them
Look, I'm not anti-apple and I'm not pro-google. I owned an iphone and it was amazing but it had some serious deficiencies and because of that I moved on to android. There are flaws to be sure but those are obliterated by the positives. Right now the top of the line android phone (samsung galaxy note 3 or the s4 if the note is too big) is superior to the lastest iphone in every possible way I can think of.
The really telling thing for me is that about half of my friends who had iphones switched to android and most of the other half want to - including my two mac head friends.
I have acknowledged that Apple is well suited to the ~ 15 year old teens and elderly because of this. In the same way seniors can get confused with remote controls - many Apple users would drown under the plethora of choices offered in the Android world. They need Big Brother - they need simplicity, too many choices will confuse them. With more choices comes more responsibility and I really think that Apple is a godsend for these people.Does Apple’s degree of control occasionally border on the excessive? Yes. But consumers end up benefiting
Yes much like Samsung with smartphones, smart televisions, etc but maybe a limited Apple variety. However, product integration isn't new and Sony was doing it 20 years ago. I'd suggest it's more common sense than revolutionary for both Apple & Samsung.When I live in the Apple ecosystem, I make a deal with Apple: I’ll pay you, and in exchange, you make sure everything plays nicely together.
A huge misconception propagated by Steve Jobs who admittedly stole technology such as the Xerox Star (Windows) system then sued Microsoft for doing the same thing. For technology buffs such as myself - it is frustrating talking to these Apple cult zealots who never saw the original technology but only the Apple version.

Apple has a place but only for those who benefit from regulation. Remember if Apple (Jobs vision) existed - smartphones would have 3.5" screens, swipe keyboards wouldn't exist, 7" tablets wouldn't exist and innovation would grind to a paltry pace as the outside innovation Apple routinely copies would be sued from existence through the courts.
