Tricky Store OSS: A tricky of keystore they forgot to hide

Remember when someone said:

Due to the rampant misuse and the contributions received after open-sourcing being less than expected, this module will be closed-source

Translation: "Thanks for the PRs, I'll take it from here… behind locked doors."

- AOSP headers? Borrowed/License headers stripped.

- LGPLv3 library? Linked statically, license violated.

- "PRs welcome"? Sure — until it's "all rights reserved."

So I built Tricky Store OSS:

- 100% FOSS (GPLv3 licensed)

- Clean rewrite, not “borrowed or forked"

- Same features, less sus

If your keystore hack locks the source along with your bootloader... maybe it’s time for OSS.

Just letting everyone know that I'll be inactive for a few weeks starting tomorrow because of personal reasons. I'll be back by the first week of October, until then development of Tricky Store OSS will be paused.

Just a heads up on what to-dos I have set for the next release:
- Fix known detection points (includes native detector and native test)
- Emulate missing operations
- Fix bugs that exist in the staging branch (ci builds)

Thank You

TrickyStoreOSS is back and its BIG!

Today marks the release of TrickyStoreOSS v3.0.0 packed with major refactoring and detection fixes that push our implementation ahead of the proprietary alternative.

Never knew a project born out of pure frustration would grow into something this big, let it be the countless number of forks or the contributions made. This project has run on community support and love from day one, and honestly, that's what kept it alive. Huge thanks to everyone who stuck around and I really hope this release feels worth the wait.
