This is the app called Franco Kernel Manager, one of the best kernel managers that are out there… Even when it was outdated (which I think that’s the cause it got booted from the PlayStore?).
I used it to check the process of my phone and monitor the active and idle drain mostly, I paid for it a long time ago, but now it just fails to check the licence and it doesn’t let me use it fully… I think there must be a cracked APK over there…
EDIT:
Fortunately the app is back in the store and hopefully that update version comes soon enough!
OOPSIE WOOPSIE!! Uwu We made a fucky wucky!! A wittle fucko boingo! The code monkeys at our headquarters are working VEWY HAWD to fix this!
uwu kill me
swearing is rare on the fediverse, LETS FUCKING STOP VERY SLIGHTLY VALUABLE LEMMY COMMENT NFT’S BY SWEARING A BIT MORE
CUNT CUNT CUNT FUCK FUCK
okay i think im going insane to devalue an nft
What the hell are you talking about
That might be the most fucking insane comment I’ve read since joining lemmy.
What nft?
nft’s that may exist in the future
And cursing will devalue them?
You can crack most apps using Lucky Patcher
Make sure you get it from the official website though
Looks like the luckypatcher.com and .info are both terribly spammy. Even with pureapk the download ended up being something called bluejay. Of course the play store chimed in and said installing it would be a horrible idea. I assume I just picked 3 fake sites to download from
Is that true? Most of the time I tried it didn’t work.
It has only worked for me with an old game called Nimble Quest so far 😂
Try different things in the selection dialogue before patching.
If you have root you could install Modded Google Play in Lucky Patcher to automatically succeed License checks
Mods also exist to crack apps, Mobilism is a good site but be careful what you download from whom
Thanks, I’ll check that out :)
Nice to see this app still strong.
I’m having a hard time finding the actual lucky patcher. Was it at .com or .info or something else? Please help
This should be the real one: https://www.luckypatchers.com/
Beware fake download ads though (I’ve never seen any of those, but people without uBlock might)
Accessing that from my phone shows the actual site content for about 3 seconds and then an endless array of “popup and notification blocked messages” as well as the usual combination of “oh noes your PC has three dangerous viruses click here to resolve” type redirects.
Is this just a cunning way to weed out the normies or can I expect the same kind of thing from their allegedly-excellent app? Because they’re not leaving a good impression right now.
The app is adfree and not spammy. Can’t talk about the Website though, I haven’t browsed the internet without good content blockers for the last decade
Chrome mobile put up a pretty good fight. I have been meaning to put Firefox + ublock on my phone, maybe I’ll stop being slack and finally do it today.
There are lots of reasons to pirate stuff, but this argument in particular boils down to “We should steal stuff now because maybe some day in the future I won’t be able to use the paid version after they go out of business.” And that is shitty.
You bought it, so go crack it now that the license check is broken and nobody will care. That’s GOOD piracy. Support the creators, pirate when you can’t or it’s unreasonable to pay (more).
Don’t just pirate to mitigate theoretical future inconvenience. Do it to circumvent actual inconvenience, or to get things you couldn’t otherwise afford, or to say “fuck you” to big, shitty companies.
But pirating from a small-time dev just in case there are maybe license problems far in the future is not The Way
Yeah, I agree with you completely, indeed I just posted this as in a meme manner.
I love FKM and I paid for it even when it was clear the app wasn’t going to be updated that much, I usually don’t feel any kind of remorse while pirating, but now this is justified and that is good too.
Regardless this is a good reminder that this can happen anytime with any app or service, being a good or a bad one, having nice or asshole devs/teams behind, and for that piracy will always be a handy solution, I just wish that abandoned apps could somehow being open sourced automatically, but that is a dream.
okay but if that’s your purpose then there’s no problem with purchasing and pirating at the same time.
Absolutely. I do that regularly. Purchase to support the creators, pirate to meet some specific use case.
like I’ve had more than one super good YouTube video essay go missing, getting permanently pulled because of some copyright issue with a background shot or something, so I’ll actually add really good YouTube videos to my Plex library just in case as well
Totally. Though, that case can be a tiny bit tricky. Like, people should be allowed to remove stuff from the Internet that they’ve created if they want, but it should also be okay to archive content that may be abandoned or lost. Hard to create rules that differentiate the two effectively for enforcement
the specific ones I’m talking about, they were removed by YouTube and not at the creators behest. like one of them is about the three stooges and whoever owns The Three stooges material complained about some copyrighted material in the background horse shit
Sure I’m just thinking about how you’d write a law or policy that accommodated both reasonable scenarios
well it’s a really interesting concept. there’s really no other form of media where you could put something out there and then recall it somehow. like if you wrote a book that you didn’t like, there’s absolutely no legal way you could prevent people from reading it, etc. sort of ties into the Barbra Streisand effect
IMO if an app is pulled from Google Play their license verification should just return true.
Yeah, I agree, gladly the app is back in the store… And it even got a very much needed update!
It’s back on the store.
Fortunately it is!
“There’s an oopsie!”??? This fucking guy deserves to get his apps pirated.
This is an outdated app at beast, I think he wouldn’t care, I hope it resurged though.
deleted by creator
This is the way.
Anyone can pose as a small and broke dev to say anything against piracy
Franco was a nut. He did put out some nice android kernel mods though.
