  (You probably didn't intend this to be an epic response targeted specifically at me, but you lucked out! ;P I really do intend to make an Android 4.4 version of Substrate that does not require the user turn off SELinux in the near future. FWIW, as it stands, I simply do not consider Substrate to "support" Android 4.4 at all, do not publicly advocate or document that it is possible to use Substrate on Android 4.4 if you turn off SELinux, and was surprised when I learned that other people were considering this a usable workaround. Also, while I've been busy with the iOS 7 rush--which, if nothing else, gets priority as Android developers didn't actually put much interest behind my port of Substrate--I have actually spent a bunch of time learning the low-level intricacies of SELinux now, and have a plan for how to make Android Substrate support as much of it as possible ;P.)

    Wow, I had no idea there even was an Android Subtrate. Brb, I'm going to go play with it!

  A plea to stop disabling SELinux... Telling you to learn how to use it... by linking to an hour-long video. Is this a parody? Because I think it's a strong argument for continuing to disable the clusterfuck that is SELinux.
