Protect yourself from Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The best way to prevent the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic illness is by avoiding your exposure to the virus. Clean your hands often, use soap and water for at least 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol to clean your hands more frequently.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands or after being in the public.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Maintain a safe distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community.
Stay home if you’re sick and take help from local health authorities and medical professionals.
Make sure to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze. Properly dispose the used tissues in the trash, and immediately clean your hands with soap and water or a hand sanitizer.
Wear a face mask if you are sick or if you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. Do not wear a face mask unless you are caring for someone who is sick.

CyanogenMod Installer application pulled from Google Play Store!

It was announced a few weeks back, from then CyanogenMod, Inc witnessed thousands of downloads of the company's custom firmware on a number of it's users, including us, when their app was official in the Google Play Store.

But now things have changed folks, hours back we saw CyanogenMod developers voluntarily pulling out the application from the Android market place, the Google Play. According to Google, the application led it's users to violate the warranty of their devices by basically rooting their supported handsets in the process. We also heard that Google acknowledged that the app did not violate their store's terms of service, where the developer was asked to remove the app before Google lets it forcefully down.

Today, we were contacted by the Google Play Support team to say that our CyanogenMod Installer application is in violation of Google Play’s developer terms.
They advised us to voluntarily remove the application, or they would be forced to remove it administratively. We have complied with their wishes while we wait for a more favorable resolution.
To those unfamiliar with the application, it has a single function – to guide users to enable “ADB”, a built in development and debugging tool, and then navigates the user to the desktop installer. The desktop application then performs the installation of the CyanogenMod on their Android device.
After reaching out to the Play team, their feedback was that though application itself is harmless, and not actually in violation of their Terms of Service, since it ‘encourages users to void their warranty’, it would not be allowed to remain in the store.

But as to fortunate for all the custom ROM lovers, the CyanogenMod Installer application is still downloadable and accessible from the company's own domain, where you will be able to sideload it to any supported Android running devices. CyanogenMod, Inc also made a promise to submit their app to the Amazon and Samsung App stores soon.
