This is terrible advice. The first thing you need to do is consult a lawyer- the consultation will almost always be free- and the first thing they will tell you is not to do exactly this kind of shit. It can only make things worse.

You can call back up into Java from the JNI, so technically the NDK exposes everything that the Java side does. I used this to allow Python access to the android libraries via javalin2 last year.

Well, yes, but the fourth core was still locked, and in many cases was fully functional. They just locked a core on a quad core to avoid the cost of retooling to produce the triple core design when market demand exceeded the number of failed chips.

I put Ubuntu on the machine and told them I just changed the wallpaper.

Hmmm, well, I can't say I agree with that- I've open sourced the work I've done on Apple's OSX updater, various crypto toolkits, etc, and have never seen anybody do anything about it until I've either contacted them directly or released it into the wild- but, it's your code so you're the boss.

Anyways, if you'd like to collaborate drop me an email- my username@gmail.com.

Was just considering this. Have you open sourced what you have?
