Can i suggest a possible collaboration effort with Svyat of PDroid?

The whole point is to take back control of _OUR_ devices. This is a critically 
important project and we should all be working together to produce one large 
collaborative effort to finally give us peace of mind and privacy of our 
information.

Both your project and PDroid are aiming to do the same thing. Both are open 
efforts (although PDroid currently only has a downloadable source package and 
no actual repo - since Svyat has no time).

Both projects seem to differ in approach (Yours requiring Root, and his with a 
kernel patch). Both have caveats and i think a combined open source solution is 
the best approach.

Also PDroid seems to be lacking in terms of manpower (i think largely due to no 
central repo). Perhaps a github project will be nice (since you can have a 
master branch combining patching/root and separate branches for root/patch only 
if people prefer).

We need to address issues of persistence, compatibility across all ROM's and to 
make a download-go solution since the people that suffer the most are the 
masses that do not possess the skills/knowledge to look out for themselves.

I'll be more than happy to lend a hand any way i can - but i am not a Java guy 
so the actual coding is the one area im unable to help out in. This is a really 
important project and we need a fully working solution ASAP.
