Fake App Gets Uploaded To Pirate Android Markets, Megatrolls And Embarrasses Those Who Download It

If there is one thing I despise in the world of Android, it is piracy and specifically Android sites that let you download paid apps, oftentimes for a monthly membership fee. Most Android developers are not large corporations, but rather independent, smalltime individuals to whom every download counts. Today’s story, therefore, gives me added pleasure, because in it, pirates are implicated in one of the most embarrassing ways I can imagine.

An application, masking itself as a non-existent version of the paid app called Walk and Text, was uploaded to multiple pirate Android app markets across North America and Asia. This time, those who downloaded it for free and expected what users would normally get after paying $1.54 in the official Android Market, got a bit of a surprise. And boy, is it embarrassing!

After displaying a "Cracking…" dialog, which in reality just collects and sends out personal data (such as the name, phone number, IMEI, etc), the app sends out the following text message to all of the user’s address book contacts:

https://cdn.androidpolice.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/image_thumb528.png

The text above, as you can see, is written in very broken English, either for added lulz or because pranksters don’t have time to sit in a library all day (OK?). To finish the flustered user off, the app display the following dialog, using surprisingly much more proper English (thus making the SMS sent to all contacts that much more evil):
https://cdn.androidpolice.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/image_thumb529.png

And this, my friends, is how you properly troll the pirates.

Oh, and enjoy the free advertising, Walk and Text. You deserved it (unless this was a genius marketing campaign, in which case I take it all back!).

Update: Incorporate Apps, the company behind the real Walk and Text reached out to us to let everyone know they are in no way approving of or related to the rogue app. Here is what they said (with some of my formatting changes for readability):

Hello,
We are a bit surprised about this publicity. We are the makers of the OFFICIAL Walk and Text app. We also received some questions whether we have anything to do with this file.

And the answer is NO, we do not!

This could very well be seen from the signature of the file (reported on some other forum) and from the code structure. Anyone, anywhere, can get a hold of our APK and rip it and put what they want in it.

Truth is our App got hacked 2 months ago 1 week after it was launched, we removed all of the files from the fileservers, DMCA reports and everything, took us 2 weeks. Then the hackers obviously decided to get back at us and put bad publicity on our side. This file is not to be found on public fileservers (not to our knowledge, email us if you find anything).

We only find the files on some Asian torrents (and rapidshare as google alerts reports). There is nothing we can do about this file.
please do not download files from outside the Market, or at least check the permissions.

Our OFFICIAL App doesn’t even ask for the Internet permission, how are we going to send private information anywhere?!?

With that said, the original blog posts come from 2 anti piracy companies, AVAST and Symantec. They even insisted that the file was found on the Android Market. Symantec quotes a copy of the License Verification Structure, LVL, to be something an official App has. Well yeah of course, if they rip our App, you will see LVL in there… I leave it to you to do the math and their integrity about this situation.

We were never contacted for a comment prior to their blog posts!

We are sorry to be involved and we did not ask for this publicity and once again have nothing to do with this!

Rumor: Google Plans On Tightening Its Grip On Android To Reduce Fragmentation And (Hopefully) Get Rid Of Unwanted Custom UIs

For everything that we love about Android – openness, customization, large selection of devices, etc. – there are things that we hate about it, too, like fragmentation and manufacturers pre-loading devices with crapware and (some) custom UIs. It seems, though, that Google is looking to change all of that. Insiders from companies “in the Android ecosystem” have told Businessweek that Google is starting to crack down on changes that manufacturers are allowed to make to Android. This includes more than just interface tweaks and added “features”, and it is said that Google wants to be more selective with hardware, as well.

The purpose of the (seemingly) sudden shift in Google’s practice is to combat the most talked about flaw in Android – fragmentation. In the past, Google has worked with specific chipset and handset manufacturers to release pure Google Experience Devices for new versions of Android – the Nexus One (Qualcomm and HTC; Froyo), Nexus S (Samsung; Gingerbread), and most recently, the Xoom (Nvidia and Motorola; Honeycomb). Because of this, these devices have always been (or will be, in the case of the Xoom) the first to receive OS updates, while other manufacturers have to ensure that all of their custom software plays nicely with the new OS. This has left some waiting for months to receive updates to the newest versions of Android, while others were just left behind for good. By taking more of a “Nexus approach” in the future, Google will be able to reduce fragmentation, and manufactures will be able to release handsets quicker. Google has already started to display some of this behavior by holding the Honeycomb source code so it doesn’t get ported to devices that aren’t meant to run the tablet-specific OS.

Some manufacturers are not happy with Google’s decision to take control of their own product, however. You see, before getting the okay to work on an Android project, manufacturers have to detail what they plan on doing and get approval directly from Andy Rubin. This creates an interesting situation for companies like Facebook who may be working with hardware manufacturers developing new features for Android devices, since giving up future plans to direct competitors is generally not the best business practice.

What does this mean for consumers, you ask? First and foremost, it means quicker turnaround times for OS updates. It means less confusion and hopefully more Google Experience devices. I say that we, as a whole, embrace this new direction for Android. We’re all going down the same path, and now we will be able to go at the same pace.

We all love eye candy, but when combined with practical functionality, it truly becomes a thing of beauty. That’s exactly what mobile developers SPB Software have accomplished with their new shell replacement app, SPB Shell 3D.

SPB Shell 3D is a homescreen replacement that brings 3D modeling like we have never seen before. You don’t have to take my word for it, though, just take a look:

So, So funny watching the west's rag tag sympathisers run for their lives. This Is the funniest thing I have seen In ages
One guy was saying on Aljazeera "When Ghaddafi's men starts firing at us, i had to run back"

War no be beans o!

What a rabble ! They believe that the coalition should remove all opposition, allowing them to reach Tripoli. As soon as they are fired at, they turn around and run. Unless they learn to fight, Gadaffi and his goons will prevail.

Days ago they gleefully streamed up Libya's coastal road wearing massive grins as international air strikes flattened anyone who stood in their way.

But today Libya's rag tag rebel army of enthusiastic amateurs was speeding down exactly the same road in the opposite direction - as they ran for their lives after coming face-to-face with what remains of Colonel Gaddafi's army.

The increasingly shambolic rebels - who at times resemble characters from Mad Max - gained as much as 200 kilometres of territory in a two-day lighting advance from their stronghold of Benghazi earlier this week.

But today they had given up almost all of those gains following a day-and-a half of hasty retreat as they were shelled by government forces that had not been eliminated from the air.

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/30/article-1371595-0B68843F00000578-957_964x537.jpg
How things change: The rebels stream up the road on Monday towards Ras Lanuf after international air strikes forced Gaddafi's forces to retreat

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/30/article-1371595-0B6884FB00000578-565_964x468.jpg
Beating a retreat: The rebel forces retreat in disarray down the Libyan coastal road east of Ras Lanuf which they gleefully advanced up only a few days ago

Their rapid retreat east today saw them ceding land and a series of oil towns as quickly as they had taken them after Muammar Gaddafi's forces unleashed rockets and artillery on lightly armed rebel forces.

Aided by Western air strikes, they had made a two-day charge along more than 200 km (125 mile) of barren coast and seized strategic oil terminals. They have now retreated, giving up gains to Gaddafi's better armed troops.
The failure of the rebels to hold ground and put pressure on Gaddafi, despite more than 10 days of Western-led air strikes, is likely to unsettle the United States, Britain, France and others who want to see the Libyan leader step down.

Hundreds of rebel pick-ups mounted with machine guns and other vehicles streamed east of Brega with little sign of order, heading towards Ajdabiyah, a town that rebels took five days to retake from Gaddafi even after air strikes were launched.

'We are going to Ajdabiyah,' said rebel fighter Mohamed al-Abreigi. 'We will gather there and, God willing, we will head back to Brega today.'
Dozens of rebel vehicles gathered at the western gate to Ajdabiyah, a town which lies about 140 km (90 miles) south of the rebel stronghold of Benghazi. But rebels did not seem to be regrouping into defensive positions there.

One man in military fatigues shouted: 'Civilians inside, civilians inside.'

When asked what was happening, one rebel said: 'We don't know. They say there may be a group (from Gaddafi's forces) coming from the south.' To the south is open desert.

Ajdabiyah, battered by the to-and-fro of fighting, stands at the gateway to the rebel held east of Libya. It is located on a key junction with one route heading to Benghazi and another northeast to the oil port of Tobruk near the Egyptian border.
Libyan families were fleeing north to Benghazi as news of the retreat spread. The road out of Ajdabiyah was packed with cars carrying families and their belongings.

Rebels had advanced beyond the coastal town of Bin Jawad, about 525 km (330 miles) east of the capital Tripoli. But as they approached Gaddafi's hometown of Sirte, they came up against the Libyan leader's heavier weaponry.

'Gaddafi's forces have Grad (rockets) which have a range of 40 km (25 miles) , If we had Grads we could liberate Libya in a day,' said rebel fighter Ezzedine Saleh.

Another fighter, Muftah Mohammed, told Reuters: 'Kalashnikovs, RPGs (rocket-propelled grenades) and light rockets - these are our weapons.'

Rebels regularly appeal for better weapons from the West and more air strikes. [size=13pt]But even some members of the rebel movement have admitted that one of the biggest challenges is keeping discipline in their enthusiastic but inexperienced force. Few rebel fighters have much formal military training. They have proved keen to race to the front but equally swift to fall back with little sign of order when big guns fire at them. [/size]

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/30/article-1371595-0B67A0E400000578-345_964x656.jpg

Their own weapons offer little to block Gaddafi's advance.

'Where is the French air force? We won't be able to get to Sirte except with help from the French air force,' said rebel Rafa Abbas near Ras Lanuf, moments before aircraft roared overhead. A series of loud booms followed.

A rebel fighter, Ahmed, returning from Ras Lanuf, told Reuters: 'The French planes came and bombed Gaddafi's forces.'

But the apparent aerial attack showed no sign of slowing down Gaddafi's advance or halting the pace of the rebel retreat.

Some 10-15 km (6-10 miles) west of Brega, around a dozen rebel fighters stopped by the road and trained their guns south into the Sahara. Wisps of smoke could be seen in the distance.

'They (Gaddafi's forces) are coming from the desert,' yelled one fighter. Another fired his Kalashnikov rifle in the air to scare away a group of camels.

There was no sign of the rebels forming any determined defence of the sprawling oil town of Brega.

LoL

Na beans?

why am I not suprised!

In case you had any doubts about where the war in Libya is going, the Pentagon has admitted today that two new weapons are now part of the coalition forces: The A-10 Warthog and the AC-130 Spectre.
Vice Admiral "Shortney" Gortney admitted today that Warthogs and Spectres "have been employed" according to the United Nations' resolution 1973. He stressed that they are not being used "in direct support of the opposition." However, that's exactly the purpose of those planes: To provide close support to ground forces.
What do these war planes do?

The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II aka Warthog is a twin-engine jet designed to provide close air support for ground forces. It eats tanks and any armored vehicles for breakfast, lunch and dinner thanks to its GAU-8 Avenger heavy automatic cannon. These beasts can take an entire Libyan armored column and blow it to smithereens in a few passes.

The Lockheed AC-130 Spectre is a gigantic flying gunship that vomits hell down to the ground in the form of 20mm, 40mm and 105mm cannon projectiles, some of them of the delicious depleted uranium kind. The main use of the AC-130 is close air support, force protection, and bombing raids.
What's really going on?
If, according to the Pentagon, these aircraft are "not being used in direct support of the opposition" forces, did they just sent them there on target practice? No. The Pentagon may pretend that these airplanes are not providing close air support to the rebel forces but the fact is that, when you take one of Gaddafi's tank out of the way, you are directly supporting the opposition. Perhaps not in a coordinated way, but in a definitive way nonetheless.
And while the rebels aren't necessarily calling coalition planes in when they need support, I think it's safe to assume that recon units—either drones and/or special operations units on the ground—are guiding these attacks to the places and battles where they are needed the most. In fact, you need to have recon units for these planes to operate correctly and kill the bad guys, not your friends.
Providing this kind of aerial support to rebel forces is not a bad thing, but certainly not strictly in line with resolution 1973. Knowing what these planes do, it certainly feels like the war is a-changin'. We will have to wait to see if it's for the worst or for the best.

VLC Media Player for Android in 1-2 Months
Work is still underway on an Android version of VLC Media Player, the open source, cross-platform media player that plays just about any kind of file you throw at it, and a beta is expected within a month or two.

This new time frame is pushed back quite a bit from what we'd heard in December, when it was said to be coming in a matter of weeks. In an interview with a German site on March 19, VideoLAN board member Rémi Duraffort provided some detail about why it has taken longer than expected:

"Unfortunately, VLC uses some features from the libc that Bionic does not implement. For this reason we had to add workarounds to be able to compile and run VLC Media Player. It requires time as some of these workarounds are a bit complex."

That's not a reference to the Droid Bionic, but to Bionic, Google's custom C compiler library for Android.

The app is expected to run on Android 1.5+, but will make special use of new audio and video APIs for devices running Gingerbread or higher.

Thanks for the update, we are all eagerly awaiting the best media player in the world

[size=13pt]Top general shot down by No.10: War of words erupts as Army chief says we have no legal right to kill Gaddafi![/size]

Britain's top general was embroiled in an extraordinary clash with Downing Street last night over the legality of a strike to kill Colonel Gaddafi.

No 10 slapped down Chief of the Defence Staff General Sir David Richards after he flatly rejected ministers’ suggestions that the Libyan dictator was a legitimate target for assassination.

The public spat just days into the operation highlighted growing tensions about ‘mission creep’ in the assault on Gaddafi.

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/22/article-1368633-0B3AF67200000578-18_964x679.jpg
Mission muddle: General Richards and Defence Secretary Liam Fox arrive for a cabinet meeting at 10 Downing Street yesterday amid a public disagreement over targeting Gadaffi

Last night, as RAF Typhoon jets roared into action for the first time, David Cameron and Barack Obama insisted again that the dictator must go – but that the aim of the assault was to protect civilians.

Number 10 sources insisted General Richards was ‘simply wrong’ to publicly  suggest a UN resolution would not allow Gaddafi to be targeted directly if he was harming his own people.

The spat came as David Cameron battled to keep the support of the Arab League for the mission and ensure Turkey remained onside.

The Prime Minister also called  for Libyan commanders still loyal to Gaddafi to ‘put down your weapons and walk away from your tanks’.

Details also emerged of Britain’s Tomahawk cruise missile attack on Gaddafi’s presidential compound in Tripoli, destroying a military command and control centre, while Up to 800 Royal Marines were placed on standby to move to the Mediterranean.

There were also disputed claims that Gaddafi’s sixth son Khamis was killed when a Libyan pilot deliberately crashed his jet into a barracks on Saturday.


Pledge: David Cameron told Parliament what we 'can't stand by as a dictator kills his own people'

Meanwhle, Britain abandoned a further raid by Tornado bombers when SAS soldiers on the ground warned that civilians and journalists were being used as human shields.

And Russian premier Vladimir Putin provocatively likened the UN-backed mission to the medieval crusades.

However, it was General Richards who caused consternation in Whitehall when he appeared before TV cameras yesterday to insist Gaddafi was not a target.

‘Absolutely not,’ he said. ‘It is not allowed under the UN resolution and it is not something I want to discuss any further.’

Downing Street and Foreign Office officials were quick to dispute that – saying assassinating Gaddafi would be legal because it would preserve civilian lives in Libya.

Foreign Secretary William Hague had refused to rule out targeting Gaddafi, echoing comments made by Defence Secretary Liam Fox on Sunday.

The Government also came under fire from U.S. Defence Secretary Robert Gates, who described the calls for Gaddafi’s killing ‘unwise’.

He warned that it could undermine the cohesion of the international coalition supporting the no-fly zone.

‘If we start adding additional objectives then I think we create a problem in that respect,’ he said.  ‘I also think it is unwise to set as specific goals things that you may or may not be able to achieve.’

One senior government source said: ‘There has not been some major falling out, but General Richards did say the wrong thing.

‘He is right that regime change would be illegal, but there are obviously circumstances where it would be legal to target Gaddafi if his actions are harming civilians.

‘It would be so if, for example, we were taking out a compound because we knew he was inside and directing a campaign against his people.’

The Tomahawk missile strike on Gaddafi’s compound was carried out by the submarine HMS

Defiant: A supporter of Gaddafi shows pieces of shrapnel, believed to be bits of the cruise missile that destroyed an administrative building at the colonel's compound

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/22/article-1368633-0B4416A300000578-632_964x585.jpg
Surveying the damage: Libyan army soldiers stand amid the wreckage of the administration building inside Bab Al-Aziziyah, Gaddafi's heavily fortified compound in Tripoli where 300 people were reported to be at the time of the attack

British special forces operating deep behind enemy lines identified the three-storey building in Tripoli as a crucial target.

And soon afterwards, it was reduced to rubble by a precision strike from the 1,000lb weapons. The block was about 150 yards from the tents which the Libyan leader uses as his official residence.

It is not known where the dictator was at the time of the bombing but he has not been seen or heard since the attack. He may have fled into the desert. Senior government sources described the hugely symbolic strike at the heart of his regime as a ‘shot across his bows’.

The target was agreed around four days ago by British military personnel in concert with the U.S. and the French. It was not the result of specific ‘actionable intelligence’ that Gaddafi was present.

In a six-hour Commons debate on the crisis, Mr Cameron said he would not get into the issue of which targets in Libya were or were not legitimate.

But he issued a dramatic appeal to Gaddafi’s forces to defect to the opposition. ‘Put down your weapons, walk away from your tanks, stop obeying orders from this regime,’ he urged.

General Richards’ opposition to targeting Gaddafi risks a repeat of the standoff between Gordon Brown’s government and former Army chief Lord Dannatt.


General Richards put himself at odds with Dr Fox, who twice at the weekend said Colonel Gaddafi was a ‘legitimate target’ and that it would be a ‘possibility’ to launch a strike to take him out with bunker buster bombs.

Dr Fox was backed up by Mr Hague, who yesterday refused to rule out targeting Gaddafi. ‘It all depends on how people behave,’ he said.
Downing Street and the Foreign Office both reacted with irritation to General Richards’ comments.

A Foreign Office official added: ‘The Government’s position is what the Prime Minister said, not what the Chief of the Defence staff said'

James Arbuthnot, Tory chairman of the Commons Defence Committee, said Mr Cameron had told him that the aim of protecting Libya’s civilians could not be achieved without the removal of Gaddafi.

He said: ‘We won’t be able to protect the civilians in my opinion – and obviously the Prime Minister’s and that of most leaders of the countries in the region – while Gaddafi remains in place.’

But there were also divisions in government. Sources said that Attorney General Dominic Grieve spoke to Dr Fox, encouraging him to tone down his rhetoric.

Labour leader Ed Miliband backed Mr Cameron’s decision to start air strikes but condemned the mixed messages from the Government.
He told MPs: ‘We all know ambiguity about the case for intervention is one of the biggest problems we had in Iraq. We cannot afford mission creep, including in our public pronouncements.’

Shadow defence spokesman Jim Murphy  said Dr Fox’s comments were ‘irresponsible in many ways’. In a scathing aside, he added: ‘Fox should be put back in his box’.

[size=13pt]For the sins of his father: Gaddafi's son 'killed in kamikaze pilot attack on barracks'[/size]

Colonel Gaddafi suffered a massive personal setback today when one of his sons was allegedly killed in a suicide air mission on his barracks.

Khamis, 27, who runs the feared Khamis Brigade that has been prominent in its role of attacking rebel-held areas, is said to have died on Saturday night.

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/21/article-1368410-0B4605D400000578-820_306x361.jpg

A Libyan air force pilot crashed his jet into the Bab al-Aziziya compound in Tripoli in a kamikaze attack, Algerian TV reported following an unsubstantiated claim by an anti-Gaddafi media organisation.

Khamis is alleged to have died of burns in hospital. The regime denied the reports.

It was claimed he died in the same compound hit by RAF cruise missiles hit by coalition forces last night.

Loyalists have been photographed with shrapnel from the missile that struck the building and throughout the day there has been no information on Gaddafi's whereabouts.

Libyan state TV has claimed that 64 people were killed in the weekend attacks, causing friction between the west and the Arab world but the Ministry of Defence said it wasn't aware of civilian casualties.

[size=13pt]But it exposed fractures between the U.S. and British positions, with U.S. Defence Secretary Robert Gates saying getting rid of Gaddafi would be unwise while the UK refuses to rule out any course of action.[/size]

The UN authorised a no-fly zone, which i thought meant stopping Gaddafi from using his air elements attacking civilians. In a very short time this appears to have changed to a general bombing/ground attack war. Fair enough taking out radar or air defence missile sites but this now seems to have gone way beyond the original aims and Cameron/Sarkozy initial assurances

While u guyz are throwing verbal barbs at each other, al qeeda is having a jolly good laugh!

Ghaddafi, its payback time for tearing the UN charter!  

All bets are off the table.
Gaddafi will surely go nuts and use sarin gas on his people,

Update 20:09: After heavy bombardment of Qaddafi's complex, there are reports that his son Khamis Qaddafi has been killed in strikes. Khamis is a commander of the elite Khamis Brigade

The Latest 16:20 ET: Heavy anti-aircraft fire is being heard in Tripoli right now, according to Reuters. A no-fly zone is now in place in Libya. Air defenses in the country were targeted in the coalition assault, though some in Tripoli are obviously still functioning.

A U.S. official has told Reuters "we are not going after Qaddafi." However, a CNN producer reports that smoke is now rising from Qaddafi's complex. The Pentagon is also denying any coalition planes have been shot down, or that there is any evidence civilians have been killed.

But same countries did nothing when China went berserk on its people in Tienanmen square, Or had a pop at North Korea over their dreadful human rights record. Well they wouldn't would they, not with China and North Korea's firepower. I hope all those calling for western intervention will not tomorrow start singing another tune!

@Na2day - i must say kudos to u for your informative updates, Am a Nokia fan trying to crossover to Android (read a lot about them and just loving it) - have got my eyes fixed on HTC Desire or what do u suggest? - but my problem is i can't seem to find a fair price in Lagos any idea? (seunola@hotmail.com). Thanks

Thanks man, the pleasure is mine,
Concerning ur first android, if price is ur concern, may i suggest u buy htc wildfire, its a cheaper version of desire with a lower res screen and lower speed

I wonder at u guyz o!
110 cruise missiles fell from d sky and u are wondering why people died?
Is tomahawk a spirit?  does it select who to kill?  this is a missile wit 450feet kill radius, they should have dropped leaflets for those living around military installation to skedadle!
So welcome to d new Iraq and Afghanistan!
