<div dir="ltr"><div>Yeh, but HTC has committed to *allowing* you to replace the stock build ( <a href="http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2011/12/htc-has-released-a-tool/">http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2011/12/htc-has-released-a-tool/</a> ).

Heck, even the CyanogenMod folks have had their share of b00gz ( <a href="http://www.idigitaltimes.com/articles/12157/20121024/cyanogenmod-10-security-problem-developers-reveal-remove.htm">http://www.idigitaltimes.com/articles/12157/20121024/cyanogenmod-10-security-problem-developers-reveal-remove.htm</a> ). Just 'cause they're more trustworthy doesn't make them immortal.<br>
