I know you contribute a great deal, as for my attitude, Apology - but I am a bit tired of certain (not you) ppl and their attitudes also.
As for testing. I do test, and when I feel it could have a certain amount of interrest, I publish, here, or in openrepos.
fcron is an example, it works, but have problems with device goong to sleep.
As so do most of apps and services already present in a released device OS!
Therefore my opinion is, that this issue could be considered minor, considering the benefits of prey and enabling a usefull feature to track a stolen device, or ?
