Hey everyone,
I check regularly the commits to the Oneplus One Cyanogenmod repository via cmxlog.com.
Today I found this interesting revert: http://ift.tt/1TBsXxt. This is the original commit, one day earlier: http://ift.tt/1W3V503
The cyanogenmod sources contain some tracking metric for Trebuchet. The default launcher. The tracking code relies on the "com.cyngn.stats" - App. AFAIK it doesn't exist in cyanogenmod. I tried to check the OTA Package for CyanogenOS 13 for the Oneplus One (ref). But I couldn't extract it. So I checked the CyanogenOS 12 Package for the Oneplus One (ref). It doesn't contain the App "com.cyngn.stats", but a reference to it: "/system/etc/permissions/com.cyngn.stats.xml". Maybe someone who installed the CyanogenOS 13 OTA can check if "com.cyngn.stats" is installed? I use CyanogenMod 13 on my Oneplus One, not the official Cyanogen OS.
So, I conclude, maybe all Cyanogen OS 13 are being tracked by Cyanogen Inc via the default Trebuchet launcher. (If the app com.cyngn.stats is installed). The reverted code even contained the analytics key (com.cyanogen.ambient.analytics.key).
I also think that that this tracking isn't related to the anonymous statistics found in CyanogenMod (which you can disable). But I don't know what "com.cyngn.stats" does, if it is installed - or if it has an reference to the anonymous statistics option.
Please look at the source and tell me your opinion. Maybe I overreact. Or I miss something.
