Important Announcement: We want you to fact check and look on our side if you want

Please note that none of the users has been affected by this and they won't be affected by any chance unless they themselves choose to flash some mods or anything on their device to try doing piracy or something like that

Thread 1

There are some group of people who are targeting Elixir for exclusive feature i.e. lock screen depth clock and has made piracy stuff like mods, misc files/zip and started circulating it everywhere on telegram

To avoid such piracy, there were some temporary measures. It was added only to block this thing nothing else. A normal user who doesn't do piracy wont be affected by this in any situation. No Normal or Pro user was or will be affected by this.

Our intentions is never to affect any user or anyone else except to prevent piracy and to protect our work.

No one is affected expect modders and maybe the one who tried to do piracy by seeing a random misc code/mod/hack/zip etc on telegram and flashed it or tried any specific cmd adb. But now they (people doing piracy) have started blaming us for their actions which they have decided to do by their own will and spreading misinformation.

Thread 2

One must take responsibility of his/her own actions. No one else is responsible if they are doing piracy. If you go on threads and on any thread its clearly mention that if user flash any third-party thing or try to do any modification and his device gets bricked or anything then neither ROM or its developers are responsible.

ROM is completely safe unless you try to do piracy. We were just protecting our work and that measure was on temporarily basis. It has been removed from source few weeks back. There are already many misinformation spreading around i would like you to do fact check before jumping into this.

Yes formatting data was extreme measure for such people who are in piracy.

If anyone got issues from this then we would like apologize for this.

We should have informed users about this earlier but as you can check that we don't post any controversy in our channel

Thread 3

It's so funny that how they are justifying piracy and trying to normalize it. Apart from that, they are trying to make it an open source debate when in reality, the things that were actually exclusive were not related to open source.

The lockscreen clocks, the design and implementation are from scratch, which were not present on AOSP or anywhere by default. We were the first one who introduced depth clock by default in any custom rom way back in 2023. Apart from that, this automated depth clock or custom wallpaper depth clock isn't available in any other rom yet.

Thread 4

We never had any fight or controversies with any other ROMs. We respected their work and always appreciated, good roms and developers. Never kanged anyone work. We have always given proper credits.

And, you guys keep on ranting that our ROM is paid, how ?

Whole ROM and each and every customization is free for users and available for users for free on public domain (our website) with high end servers. It's just the lock screen clocks that aren't included in rom. And without making a 0% contribution in making it, you guys keep on ranting baseless stuff and people cant digest it.

There are n number of the apps/themes/wallpaper app/mods/etc that are paid. Have you bothered to them or your friends bothered to them? In simple words, its like a substratum theme and you buy it from play store and with root access you modify your rom. Instead of that, we have put that lockscreen clocks theming that has been created by our own each and everything from scratch in Rom by default

I thought people will get this (need to maintain source expenses) but as always people aren't thankful for any stuff they are getting for free. And trust me after seeing all this whole drama. I have just to say that Yes formatting data was extreme measure for such people who are in piracy and do it.

If anyone got issues from this then we would like apologize for this

And at the end either you can do fact check on both side or you can continue believing on what you have read on internet. And about that code: it has been removed few weeks back so no need to worry about it

Regards,

Team Elixir
