Kondik had been distributing his version of the Android mobile OS &ndash; Cyanogen(mod) &ndash; bundled with certain proprietary Google applications, such as Maps, Market, YouTube and GTalk. These applications are only intended for use in licensed Google Experience versions of the Android OS.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cyanogenmod.com\/home\/the-current-state\" target=\"_blank\">Kondik has responded on his blog<\/a> by indicating that he will comply with the order and remove all proprietary Google applications from future version of his OS. &ldquo;Google&rsquo;s proprietary applications &#8230; are not part of the open source project and are only part of &ldquo;Google Experience&rdquo; devices. They are Google&rsquo;s intellectual property and I intend to respect that,&rdquo; Kondik stated.<\/p>\n<p>Kondik intends to release a backup utility that will extract various Google applications from an original Google Experience device. With this legal backup in hand, a user can then install the Cyanogen(mod) and then &ldquo;Google-ify&rdquo; their install with their applications backup.<\/p>\n<p>Kondik also plans on including an online application store through which non-Google Experience users can download whichever applications they may need.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/vb\/showthread.php?t=194520\"><strong>Cyanogen-Android battle<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; comments and views<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cyanogen(mod) will be developed without Google applications<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cellular"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9791"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9791"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9791\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
