We've decided to follow suit of other channels and stop posting future Project Elixir builds due to the malicious code found inside their source code.
For the people that aren't aware, Elixir has code inside the OS that formats devices, SD cards and ESIM's on users devices who switch a setting in ADB, which toggles on their "exclusive" features, that are meant for Patreon supporters. We do not support such practices for securing code as it is highly immoral and borderline illegal.
Despite their claims of removal of such code, they have breached our (and others', for example XDA is closing Elixir threads) trust and we will not promote such software as we're unsure what they will do next to "protect" their code.
This decision is effective from now on until specified.
