Here’s good news for all the developers who were blocked along the Android Market. There is a new application is being talked about of being developed for those users who are in this black market. Greatly respected developer Koushik Dutta of Cyanogen Mod and the Clockwork Mod Recovery released recently gave information for their future plans to manufacture a specially built application store just for the Cyanogen Mod. The application store is presented to welcome and serve applications which have been booted along the Android Market.

This idea came up first from the question Koush’s Google+page, place where his all banned applications may be downloaded. This famous developer asked his readers regarding what they think of this idea. This was proposed as the alternative into the Android Market when Koush’s own app the Clockwork Mod Tether was able to get booted just after the AT & T requested this.

As of this time, this developer interface (submission page app) is the basic one; including the description, the title and the change log. And for the developers who want to upload their own content, so they will wait because there is no upload file APK yet. For this will come at the later time, and the official confirmation for this project.

Due to the reason that there are now various other developers applications that has gotten booted, this will be easy to imagine various developers that are supporting this option into the Android Market. However, until this will get official, then all we need to do is just to wait for some more updates.

And regarding this Android ecosystem, this is not still as ‘open’ as others will like- with Google’s insistence (or additionally, one of their carrier partners and their manufacturer) applications may be swept away along an Android Market. Several of these applications which are frequently deleted are pornography, malware or things that violate copyright however many are good recognized tools like tethering or emulators applications. Being fed up along this instance, Koush Dutta of the Cyanogen Mod, a Clockwork Mod Tether and the Clockwork Mod Recovery started calling for some suggestions for the banned market, the haven for ROMs and applications which were moved out of this Android Market so for some reasons.

Koush was able to form this idea just after AT & T requested Google to be able to pull the Clockwork Mod Tether along this Android Market in order to protect its integrity of their own paid tethering plans of smartphone. He was able to spoke well with Cyanogen Mod great team leader Steve Kondik regarding the building of the aftermarket application store into the Cyanogen Mod, not the same as the Cydia application store that has become really a jailbroken application store for iPhone.

And yes we are not alone now. The  Google + post of  Koush has gathered comments as well as 1500 shares along some stimulated Android fans, who were overwhelmingly very positive about this. His own idea includes the application store that is to be built in the Cyanogen Mod (that needs a separate file in flashable Zip in order to achieve access into this Android Market) so then access into the store that will be granted to the ROMs that are non-Cyanogen Mod also. This developer said that he had also approached Amazon regarding the inclusion of their own Appstore on Cyanogen Mod however he was only ‘brushed aside’.

And while it is very easy to get the ‘banned’ application for them who knows this very much, there is also the central place just for the mode-friendly applications which are not standard for Google or its associates must be handy thing to have and own. And while Kondik and Koush have not committed together to build such as this store (and not mistake, this will be a great understanding) we are looking forward to the further and more detailed developments on this area.
