However, we are building it with the expectation that this version of the Commotion app will run on non-rooted, non-CM devices when AOSP adopts the CM ad-hoc patches, etc. So, while currently we are making a distinction where there is no difference, we think that in the future we are going to be positioned for SUCCESS :-)

Makes sense. The idea situation would be one version of the app that has the
non-root port on always, then optionally, enable the standard port if the user
has root access. But an version of the app that only works with root on the
standard port would be useful in place of that ideal.

It does seem key to have some nodes that bridge the two meshes (standard port
and non-root port) so that those two meshes are likely to be connected.  So it
would be a worthwhile effort anyway, IMHO.

Builds of that are available at http://downloads.commotionwireless.net/android/. You can also build from source at https://github.com/opentechinstitute/commotion-android using the cm branch.
