- derleth 13y agoToo bad CyanogenMod itself phones home to tell the developers about you.
- SEMW 13y agoOf all the privacy intrusions you're subjected to, are you seriously making an issue out of optional, transparent, anonymized hardware reports, in a Free Software project, used to compile publicly available statistics[1] on what phones people use the software so the devs can better direct development effort? Really? [1] http://stats.cyanogenmod.org http://stats.cyanogenmod.org
- derleth 13y agoI mentioned it because it's shocking that a Free Software project would be so disrespectful of user privacy. Oh, and it isn't opt-in. It's opt-out, until the developer changes his mind again: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/04/03/cyanogenmod-will-no-longer-allow-opting-out-of-cm-stats-cyanogen-says-to-chill/ http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/04/03/cyanogenmod-will-no-...
- yareally 13y agoOnly if you opt into it. It's an option under settings. They also tell you what they're sending. If you're truly paranoid, just block Google Analytics in your host file. That's all they're using.
- derleth 13y agoNo, it's opt-out, unless the developer's changed his mind: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/04/03/cyanogenmod-will-no-longer-allow-opting-out-of-cm-stats-cyanogen-says-to-chill/ http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/04/03/cyanogenmod-will-no-... And, if he does change his mind, it's more likely to be to remove the opt-out feature. People don't expect Free Software to phone home like common malware. It's shocking. That's why I mentioned it.
