Are we paying our dues to NRGZ28? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development

Dear All:
A quick look on Rhodium main page will show that there are few active rom designers in town. According to so many people, NRGZ28 leads the design of WM6.5 for Rhodium (and some other devices) because of his skills and remarkable talent at times when other rom bakers are barely able to assemble a program here and a patch there to a WM6.5 build.
Yet, NRGZ28 has gone against almost all other rom designers by keeping his rom for public and not imposing silly mean rules for download for people. Why?
This is because NRGZ28 remains a great person and a talented chef.
I invite everyone to thank NRGZ28 for his work and his gentle devotion to help others. Let this thread be about how many people like NRGZ28 for his talent and his kindness.
I also add that I had the chance to interface with NRGZ28 indirectly and I was amazed that he was cooperative on few matters so I want to thank him personally and warmly for his understanding and coopeartion.
Samer.

NRGZ28
I am a big fan of his work...have thanked him and also donated ...I really hope everyone else also shows appreciation and this thread becomes longer than his ROM threads with appreciation and donations!!!!

will a mod please close this!!

any particular reason?

Every user has their own choice of what they like in their ROMs and find some a certain Chef's ROM better to their liking than other Chefs.
I will take your silly rule comment personally since I am one of those chefs with the silly rules.
Many chef's in this forum have their own silly rules for whatever the case may be.
For myself, I release enough stuff without any silly rules. If I want to put extra time and making something extra nice for people who are active members of the community and/or donated to me that is my choice and I do it as my way of saying thanks for being so considerate of the time I put in. More than 70% of the people I email my private ROMs about have not donated and are just active members of the community. Who do not give a thanks that you are looking for with NRG.
Another reason is because of the lack of a thanks for the type of ROMs I do not even use myself. For the same reason you stated about showing a thanks to NRG is the one of the reasons I have my own system. I am sure other chefs feel the same way too.
I can think of 4 off hand that have "silly rules" for their own reasons.
The only best design in town is what the user prefers. I am sure many people will say Tom, myself, Ark666, itje, udk and any other chef is the best design in town. So to make a comment like that is just "silly" since your tastes are not reflected by everyone else.

>Samer
All rom customizers will be happy and continue their work here as long it can be if all custom rom user has behaviour like you. Not like other users whose like critics, complaints, request this, request that, asking this and that, like a boss. fcuk!

Cause it looks like you are trying to start trouble...should we have a thread about every chef and giving thanks?
Ever think some chefs page views are bigger cause there are more bugs so people are going back or they release ROMs very often to correct bugs or that is what they like to do by releasing ROMs often?

Samer,
At0mAng is correct. Chef appreciation threads will soon degrade into fighting. I know your intentions are good, but this thread won't bring much to the community.

Is this the spirit of xda?

I think you know where it's all about:
Rom bribe-gate!
I think theres something on here that must not see daylight:
Theres a guy named RUFFRUFF who claimes to be bribed by someone to not share the roms of the td2 and the tp2.
And theres someone who deletes all posts from everyone who share those roms, and someone whos deleting the evidence that someone gets bribed.
There must be a mod who's knwing from this and deletes all threads(no-one can do that but a mod)
And I and many with me have a clue:
This is a post from me in another thread:
Yes i noticed it too: it seems like the guy Ruffruff is bribed by someone.
And dutty is the only one with this roms right now... pretty strange that its dutty who's deleting all the other posts here with those roms...
And check this:
this i found in the thank you part on dutty rom page:
As always I want to just say thanks to XDA-Developers and everyone who has contributed my whole existing of start making ROMS. Thanks goes to as follows;
Almighty God for letting me live to see a new morning when I wake up.
Alltheway for been a good friend since Kaiser days.
Ameet for been a good friend.
Bepe for new Platform Builder, thanks much BRO.
Boz for been a good friend and a wonderful beta tester on my previous device.
Chainfire for CFC compression Tool.
Farchid for his great friendship and helping me out with cabs.
GSLEON for been a good friend.
Jocky for been a good friend and companion and his works with his HARDPL for diamond etc.

For me this a a hard fact as we can see in the google cache///
Please mods do something about this crap!!
The first time i was getting on xda there was a "share all, conquer all mentality".
I left a year ago with the complaint that every cook closes up their roms so noone can dump it, and asks much money with it.
Now i come back and someguy is paying gusy for not share the roms so he's benefitting from it... Strange behaviour that hurt me in my xda heart!
Do something about it, and ban the guys who **** our community up!
alphazero said:
U asked for evidences. Arent the evidences enough you SEE ON FIRST POST OF THIS THREAD ? yes DUTTY deletes posts where roms are shared. WHAT OTHER EVIDENCE YOU WANT ?
He publicly said on this forum he did it (ON REQUEST) but we dont care if a source gets deleted on request or not.

Knowledge has value only when shared.
amazing ...
what the hell Oo is going on??
Iss that True ?!
NOW Old spirit of xda (sharing fol all people) is dead!
PLEASE GO BACK!
That is strange indeed.
,,,, I thought the XDA community was built on sharing, This should be discouraged heartily
sadness and delusion !
no words
This topic is getting really interesting by the hour...
Easy, easy....
Sharing isn't dead, may be is sleeping in someone, but 99% of the members ARE sharing knowledge here.
Mods are evaluating the facts and if it will be possible (and if something was accidentally deleted) things will be restored but the main words are easy, calm down.
Even MODs are people (unbelievable uh?) we have jobs, families to feed, some funny activities apart from XDA DEVs activities, and we need some time to evaluate the facts, discuss and share ideas when something big happened.
Believe me, the strongest feeling in our group is KNOWLEDGE SHARING, together with BUILDING A NICE PLACE TO STAY.
Give us some time, enjoy what you have here we are here to improve and help this unique place!
... and it'll lead nowhere but to the bashing of others. Tempaorarily closing down the thread to prevent any further misassumptions that we're not sure of.

Admins / Mods: Can we know the status of the ROMs from the chefs...

Hello Admins / Mods,
I opend this thread to see if we can get an update on the situation that has been going on for the past 24 hours with regard to the sharing issue. Many of the chefs have decided to discontinue their ROM development work due to this.
Myself along with a lot of other HD users (I hope) are very eager to know when things would get back to normal. I kept visiting this section frequently to see if there is any new information on this situation, but unfortunately there isn't any.
So, please let us know if ROM development for Blackstone is going to continue or did the cooks really leave XDA. If they did leave as they have mentioned, it a huge loss to this community and I think the Admins and the Mods must do what ever it takes to convinience them to share their work within XDA.
Due to the action of a few individuals... this great community should not suffer.
Please let us know the status.
Davideuck / kwbr / Laurentius26 / HelloNasty / pzucchel / robertus3d / texture / panosha / pzucchel / duttythroy (sorry if I missed someone) - You are all a GREAT asset to this community and we love your work and you are the reason we love our devices even more.
Please resolve your differences and I hope things get back to being normal and exiting.
i am a 100% with you!
Firstly, I am sympathetic with the rest of the staff, but I will not stop, I like to do
Roms, investigate, but never stop!
Because I like!! Never received any donation in blackstone! But life continues ... Spend large hours a day!!!
Thanks to everyone who like my job!
Im a mod on a car site based in the UK. We had a situation where a member was ripping off other members via our 'for sale' section. We investigated and kept our member informed. It doesnt take much and im disappointed it hasn't happened here.
Frankly if this site doesn't respond very soon, in a satisfactory way (I.E not in an aggressive or arrogant way), then its not the sort of place i want to be. It will certainly reflect badly on the WM community, it may make me regret my decision to move over from Symbian. Indeed the quality of the community often guides my choices in automotive and AV.
Im not saying the cookers owe us anything (im happy with my ROM) and i support them if they have been wronged, but after investing money in my Blackstone id like to know my options.
I'm one of "Autocensored" cookers and only thing I can say is:
Yesterday someone paid a user to avoid sharing of new topaz rom... for this me, DavideUck, Infido and others had protested stopping our development until the sharing priority will be guarantee...
EDIT: I forgot to say that Mods are hepling us to much to understand what's happened and really soon the truth will overcome

Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.
Since we develop software for it, we need information, and nobody seemed eager or ready to give us what we needed. So we 'reverse-engineered' the devices, found a lot of information, and shared it with the world. But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum.
We hope that you will enjoy this site and find it as useful as we do. We encourage you to donate or otherwise support this site. Of course absolutely all proceeds from donations will benefit this community.

I'm sure it will get back to normal pretty soon.....
Personally I am very greatly to all cooks and mods for there hard work and I always donate to the cook of which ROM I choose.
It will be a sad day to lose any cooks due to these unfortunate circumstances.
I look forward to everything going back to normal, and hopefully people will learn that this site is for the cummnity!!!

This clearly is a most unfortunate situation and I can understand how many of the cooks, mods and members alike are becoming upset. This said, can I appeal to those same people not to bring this bad feeling into the rom threads themselves. Despite the mods repeatedly saying they will sort out the situation as quickly as possible, certain people continue to bombard the threads with aggressive accusations which cannot serve any purpose. I myself was accused of taking back handers last night because I tried to get the thread back on topic! I mean really! I wouldn't mind but I've not seen a penny
The rom threads should be for help and bug reports and that alone! Threads such as this one are the perfect opportunity to raise other issues.
The saddest thing about this is some of the cooks who are upset are inadvertently doing what they are accusing others of in not sharing, by discontinuing their work here.
In the year I've been a member here, I've downloaded and enjoyed numerous roms from many of the cooks here and I've enjoyed being part of a great community. It breaks my heart to see that same community crumbling before my eyes
C'mon guys, can we not try to work through this like the adults we are and get back to being the best god damn HTC forum on the planet?

Ok, here is the story...
Dutty's V1.8 ROM was from the new HTC ROM from (Dimond2 or Touch Pro2). Other chefs were hoping that he would dump that ROM. But, Dutty said that he was not going to share this new HTC ROM (Topaz) since he promised his source that he would not.
After couple of days, a few chefs were suppose to come out with their next ROM versions with this Topaz ROM build. But then, suddenly, who ever was suppose to sare this ROM with these chefs, told them in PM that some one Paid him money not to share this new Topaz with the XDA chefs. So he decided not to.
Now the chefs who were waiting for this ROM dump, got really pissed and decided not to share their own work within XDA until the admins and the Mods of XDA make it clear that sharing made the core principle within the XDA community.
Facts:
- Dutty was the one only one who had this new HTC ROM and he decided not to share it with anyone else for his own reasons as he explained in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=484867
- Someone "claims" got paid by someone else not to sare the new ROM with the chefs within XDA as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3373252&postcount=1842
- Most of the Blackstone chefs decided to Discontinue their curren work and/or leave the XDA community until stuff is shared by everyone here for the benifit of the community.
Peace OUT!
After reading this, another possibility is that Dutty too was payed not to share...
And maybe he is not the one who paid?

Everybody is a cooking master these days?

Pretty wierd, Itje has been in-active for a couple of days (probably due to easter) and all of a sudden everybody is "releasing" roms like its there speciality?
And when i read these threads and somebody askes a simple thing as "are you putting youtube in it?" i see answers like "it is pretty hard to get youtube up and running, i dont know how to do that"..
Is this something everybody wants to see? Imo cooking/releasing roms should be done only by people who have the knowledge and knowhow off everything.

very very succinctly put..
jerpeleas kitchen is very very simple to use.
and is perfect for creating that "personal rom"
unfortunately, whats happening is what often happens, and is that everyone suddenly decides to throw out that personal rom for public consumption.
now i think its great that people are trying things out, but i do think, ladies and gentlemen that you should keep your experiments a bit more "internal" at least till you understand what you're doing a bit better..
please??

Agreed. Glad to see more cooks or more people willing to learn to cook. But sad to see lots of them either unfinished, or not tested fully w/ lots of bugs here and there. And I don't see any unique features/characteristic/fixes among most of them since all are based on the same kitchen without going into details to learn and create.
In other words, people, if you wanna try to cook your own roms thats your own choice, but stop the posting on the forums if there arent any new feautures/bug fixes in it.
alway nice to see more people cooking.
but like myself i cooked a rom with jerpelea's kitchen.
i twisted and turned allot over and made it to my personal favors.
but i won't release for public just because it is to my own taste and i know that allot of peoplehere have different choises and willings.
it's great that cooking is made easy for everybody but if you don't have the real knowledge like our first timer chefs keep it for yourself and enjoy it as much as you can!
but hey..
that's just me
The word is not "cook" kids: it's READ and SEARCH.
Spread the word
I cook
You cook
He cooks
She cooks
We cook
You cook
They cook
But jerpelea is the biggest cooker of them all !!
Been cooking since january over WinMo 6.5, nothing worth sharing yet... until jerpelea uploaded his kitchen and I solved 6 weeks of problems in 6 minutes:
I eagerly read all 49 pages of his suggestions/tips, and included a couple of his packages into my own recipe, now I can fire the oven

yup I've been cooking my own for a while now, but I've never released one.. mostly as I do it to learn more..
ive made 6.5/manila2 roms but havnt uploaded them because of this whole situation.
I do think however its better that ppl make their own roms and learn more about their phones then being a drone to somone else.
Its too bad that some in the past ruined it for some to truelly learn what needs to be changed in some cases. because alot of cooks are protecting their roms. so disecting their rom to see whats really in it is a bit harder then normal.
not speaking down to itje or about him. but if we were able to truely dissasemble his rom we could find out why myfaves doesnt work.
but cooking my own rom i got myfaves working but using jerpelea kitchen i get dumb little bugs

That's not what I mean. But I wish new cooks instead to rush out a buggy rom (especially for 6.5 which is still beta and still with lots of issues w/ X1), could spent more time in clean up and bugfix, then release an tested and quality rom. It just a waste of time of you and your users if your rom is too buggy to be useful. Or released roms w/ features/softwares w/ bugs and issues that you don't have idea how to get them fix.
I kinda like to see all the new ROMS out. We went from 1 or 2 to a bunch. Granted there are a lot of buggy ROMS and people should do a lot more searching and more beta testing but being one of the new cooks i can see the reason for trying to release it. Some people use there phones completely differently that you do so i would think that others would find bugs that you don't. I know when i released my lite rom there were issues that i never even thought of trying so i had like 5 versions in like 2 weeks.
Most people don't add new features because a lot of the stuff is hard to come by in my opinion that is. They just release a different take on the programs and features.
I dunno just my take....

I am not sure if this is his true intention. But you got to understand this is the side effect that the Bepe's kitchen he use (which is a lot more effieicent and easy to manage, and I start to use it as well since my V3.x series).
In fact, Itje is very generous in sharing what he could share in the Chef sharing thread, or his own threads w/ the helps from Fards, Akp99 (man, how come I don't have such an helpful team???). All you need is search, or ask the right man.
I have seen the same thing..
I welcome new chefs..its all good, but as said before, its not the "real" work of chefs, its more a "Ikea" sollution, buy/get the kitchen parts..put it together and use it at home...
And as jack said, please guys keep making roms..its cool..but rather then releasing roms that others has made (Jerpelea) try to make one from scratch...
I must also admit with this new wave of chefs, it also keeps getting very annoying that many of the new rom makers keep sending pm's, e-mails and adds me to msn. It didnt bother me at start, but now Its getting pretty frustrating.
And I am not even allowed to say no, they keep on coming asking for everything I know, everything I got..and if I say no, im a cocky mofo who wants to be the topchef all by himself..etc etc
I have to be rude, and I have to put ppls requests down. If not, I would not have time to do make new roms, because I was personally guiding everyone else.
That IS NOT why im here. I have no interest at all beeing a teacher...I can share stuff, but then I also like to get something back (not talking donations here) and that is a more respectful tone, specialy when I decline helping.
But, I try to point ppl in the right directions..telling them what to look for or where to find a thread with the stuff they need..usually that is not enough...cause they keep coming back asking what to look for....
But then I dont reply, because if you cant find it, then you can find another hobby..and that I dont back up on..
I have been searching this forums, so many times for new stuff, to learn new things, and I STILL DO.
I help if I can, I share when I can..but dont add me to msn to ask for cooking help. Cause you wont get it..sorry.
I know this post can be considered a bit off topic..but then again, its not..cause that is whats happening "behind the scene" of all the new "chefs"
Im sorry if this offends anyone..and im sure there is ppl among the new guys that are gonna get way better then me in this...after all, its just a hobby
I dont like ppl dissambling my roms
I tried for some time to have open roms..damn I even left in the rgus, so ppl could dump the rom and recook for personal use..
But what they didnt know was that I hid some small codes in the base of the rom
So when suddenly new roms started popping up..from ppl claiming it was their own work...can you guys guess what I found in the roms???? nahhhh..guess one more time
Then I made some "rules" Do not recook and release my roms, or I will protect them...
To bad..it still happened...
So I locked my roms, and if ppl dont like it...I dont care
Oh please don't take what ive said the wrong way. I understand the reasoning behind it.
not to be that guy but i still get the files i need from ur rom. like new images for replacement of the old green highlights.
but i also respect your work to not release anything as i understand how time consuming it is.
as i used to skin for psp's and windows mobile 6 and 6.1 standard neo and sliding panel home screens.
I have to say I've been reading this thread with particular interest, as I could be considered one of the "chefs" Itje is talking about as I recently asked him to point me in the direction of how to create ROMs. I personally found in all the custom ROMs that I tried several different little tweaks or something that I didn't use and wouldn't use and all I can say to people is, unless you've created a new TF3D or something HUGE then don't publicise ROMs - Once i eventually learn how to create on, I will simply use it just to create a ROM that is PERFECT for ME - and then I will work on creating something spectacular!
And that's my 15minutes of fame for the day
Nirave
P.S. I've just re-read the post and there is no hidden meaning in what I said regarding asking Itje! I know it sounds like there is, but there's not !
I'll open it out a little more: If anyone can help a long-time reader, small-time poster (ME!) and point me in the direction of how to create a custom ROM I'll be ever grateful
thanks

dont worry, im not aiming at any person...but its a typical thing...its the same over and over again...same way
I dont see any problems in all these new roms. If there is nothing special, people wont be interested so that the "problem" will be solved by itself.

Yes, I'm an Ikea cook, as Itje said. I'm only ever after a bare-bones ROM with whatever XIP\SYS improvements updates may provide.
I once published one of my "Ikea assembly" efforts for my earlier Eten X500, acknowledging the base was from PDAVIET, and was inundated with requests, complaints etc etc. So now I just use these Ikea efforts.
Question: does anyone know why official ROM updates seem never to use NETCF3.5 over v2.xx ?
V3.5 has been available for well over 18 months now

dont put garbage in your roms ! UNUSELLES STUFF MAKES EVERY ROM UNUSABLE !

well..donations will be concidered if there is any chance to make a clean rom? cookers?
is it possible to make elegant clean ROM?without garbage...
I like Dusk ROMs because they are so elegant and well done...but...(there is always but.huh!)....is it possible to make a clean ROM?
Perhaps the word "please" is in order somewhere in your sentence.
The cookers make ROMs as a hobby, not for commercial gains. They can put in whatever items they deem fit (and the cookers certainly believe these items are useful, at least for themselves).
You seem to suggest that they are doing it in exchange for donations. That's insulting.
You can state your wish, but being polite often goes a long way.

oh !! sorry ! I forgot to say "please" !
my mistake ! sorry I think you missunderstanded me. i DONT MENT TO BE UNPOLITED!...SORRY. it is not about money or something else....
but when every cooker has a link for "buy me a beer"...why I could not offer a beer ?? if you ask for bear,I can pay you a beer?...
on other hand..there is a quite a lot of us who could pay for decent clean ROM..so why dont let to cookers to earn some money on their knowledge and achievement ?

No need to tell him that IMO....He's is just asking a question if someone can make a clean rom. Just tell him if you can make a clean rom, otherwise no need to reply I guess....

there is no place n this forum for rude and impolite request (you titled the thread in upper case and exclamation mark) please. there is even no need of this thread.
just so youll know before fallen spartan closes this.
Why don't you just cook your own ROMs how you want. People cook to their tastes.
well my friend,I suppose that it needs some time and technical expertise to cook rom,but,unfortunally,I dont have to much time to spent for learning principles and that stuff,also,I am not good enough in programming matter (it must be something with my late age 40s perhaps,and "nature memory leak" )...
I think a good solution would be a light or clean WM 6.5 build, without the heavy manila.
I always use spb shell so there is no need for manila.
I have only found Miri's Standart v.36 with such characteristics.
Do you know any other rom 6.5 or at least 6.1 without manila?
Thank's guys

I understand it's hard to put together a usable rom by yourself, but try this by sparkienl, he has done most of the hard work and all you have to do is select the packages you want and make a rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515824
Just a side note I find it very sad that 40 or so years life experience hasn't taught you to be polite!! No need to be rude to other chefs and ask them to stop putting garbage in their roms! If you don't like it, simple don't use it! The chefs on here work hard and produce very usable roms for the majority.

don't be too hard on him:
- in 3 years he posted 125 times
- i see a croatian flag near his join date: in the yougoslavian culture, when you don't say please they don't take offence because it's for the formal use mostly
- as you don't know his culture, try to think that he doesn't know the english one, namely the caps thing. I assume he wrote it in upper case a) to attract attention on his thread and b) to do 'like others' (e.g. [WWE][ROM] etc.)
- last but not least: it's an international community where people help people. Before blaming try to understand. Personaly, I prefer having more friends than enemies and I like to learn from others, the same way they like to learn from me.
Back in the days Nescafe had an add with 'Open up' as motto...
thank you all for enlightening me. (should I say "please" here or not..hm..?)
It seems I found the perfect rom..Reverting back to original shipped 6.1.
thank you for replies.
Appears OP is happy with rom, so thread closed

!!!!! Discussion and opinions Thread !!!!!

First of all I open this new thread so that the users who have need to discussion about everything they will; that they can do it in this thread!!!!!!
I'm a person who live in a free country so I don't have the intention to ask to stop giving your opinion; but I find that if you need to change your opinion you must also respect the creator from the thread you do it in!!
I don't find it courteous to do it in a thread from someone else!!
So have respect to the people who have open his thread to give something to us and don't fill it with your opinions and discussions, and let his thread clean!
I open this thread so we can discuss about everything you want!!
@ the moderators!!
Sorry that I opened this thread but I was sad to see in several thread more posts about discussions with opinions from a work!! If you are not agreement with me, you can this thread!
[Mod edit] Thread has been close by request of the OP.
Thank god
I'm starting to get bored with dinik vs the world that appears to be taking hostage of others peoples thread.
I'm not backing any sides I see both points of views but to hijack someone else's thread isn't fair on the originator.No doubt its still going to happen but at least they can now slag each other off in this thread opposed to stealing the limelight from others who decide to share in a public forum like this.
I'll shut up now and let the *****ing commence

Sorry but I don't really see the need for this thread. The mature route would be to handle
disagreements via pm rather than publically flaming and humiliating them. I would rather see the moderators putting a stop to this behaviour and not allowing it to go on at all.

I agree, but a lot of people DO comment in the open, for different reasons. This may help to alleviate off-topic discussion in other threads, it may not.
This does not have to be a Flame war thread, opinions can be shared with civility.

Ok, I'm sick of all this arguing and anger that is being caused on xda over my work, lets sort it out...
I started skinning for myself, and for fun, but when everyone seemed to like my work, I was happy to share what I do with everyone on xda, as that is what this community is all about, sharing. Also i have posted some rules, as i wanted to stay the set high quality. And i think the rules where fair for all.
However, since the success of Anastasia, I feel things are getting out of hand.. I didn't mind when people used some of my work, it made me feel proud and so I kept devleloping Anastasia for both me and xda... However the reason I teamed up with Miri in making the rom was because I thought people would like all my work in one easy to get to place, and it gave Miri's rom a nice, INDIVIDUAL theme.
HOWEVER, now DJC has suggested people rip my rom's files to put my work onto other roms, I am quite angry as I have specifically said that the files are exclusive.
But people went against my will and took my work, when I said not to do, and so I understandably got annoyed, however it seems I have become everyones enemy, when all I set out to do was have fun skinning different aspects of my phone....spending countless hours to give you all something unique and nice for FREE.
I don't see what is wrong with my decision? I provided a fair amount of cabs to skin alot of the phone on my thread that can be found [Here] and then said that any extra bits are exclusively for my rom, What is wrong with that? If there was nothing exclusive, then all the rom's would be the same, and Rom flashing could get boring for some people...
So here is what I have decided...
I will continue to do my work, as long as it doesn't start any more arguments, and I shall follow the rules I set out already. If anyone breaks them, or if another argument starts again, I will very likely stop skinning on xda all together, as it is starting to feel like more of a chore than a hobby...
So please, do not release my work, or any modification of my work, anywhere, You are free to modify what I do for personal use, but just don't release it. Also please dont re-upload my work anywhere else, please always just provide a link to where you originally found it on my thread, this way I can keep a better track of how many people download it.
Ah and btw...i decided not to post any cabs only because of some users hear...that again only anger abot me and my works...and ignored my wishes by copying my works without asking for permission...and without puting any credits! So now that people are forcing me again to do a next decision that i dont want (quit posting everything).
@Dinik, I can respect your position. I just find that it is one that is not commonly taken here.
Of course, you are entitled to credit and respect, you have earned it many times over. I certainly have a high respect for your abilities.
But, to be honest seems wierd to have to avoid the use of certain elements because of exclusivity. We hack, slash, and decompile stuff as a rule of thumb around here.
Don't take this the wrong way, I will follow your rules. I would just like to try to convince you that exclusivity is not the way to go.
You have had issues with only a very small percentage of your users. No need to be upset and punish everyone. No one wants to see you fail.

exclusivity should be there for certain elements for certain period ,so that the originator gets due credit for his hard work in this community.
No one should just hijack someone else hard earned work without permission.
Really unfair.
Hope Dinik gets Justice and due credits for his hard work soon.

I can totally dig it if there is a exclusivity period. I have not heard a time frame discussed. I've only read that cabs will be no longer distributed and only HD2 owners on one ROM will get to use the theme.
I can handle that, but not without at least asking first. Call me a fan.

yes i have help another user and have say if he wants your files he can find them in miri's rom and he must extract them for personal use to not break the rules,your own rules(before your addition) to avoid discussion like this but you can't resist,you must have this child reaction like you have them all the time.
its clear we all know your rules today....
your crying all the time for respect but you never had respect for anyone here until you have a win situation...is this in first place not disrespect to others?
and no im not jalous but i think on all the other skinners here,with your rules and requests applyed today for each skinner then in each rom threads there will be more rules,names,donate buttons as info about the creation,i think all posts must be changed here and in the roms thread.
now you don't have made the new rule 12 that you use so much but im thinking if this rule is not made to avoid your problem that you have create here in the biginning.is this a good idea, yes but it does not and will not give you more right, that would be wrong for others.
I also think you should listen instead of always getting mad you do not even leave you time to think so that you act quickly!
so i ask you to calm down and on moderators to think about it and enforce the rules but all the same.this must stop because where is fun today on xda?
the truth is that I have never seen such situations before!
Thanks
i dont get what you wanna say djc...if you read my post once again...you gonna see that i dont want much...but give much back.
the truth is...
we artists spend time...effort...and put even love in developing our projects...for free...just to share
we deserve some rights for our projects...files...images...or what ever
but lately...i have been attacked...by some people...and they wher forcing me to go their way...or else they just didnt stopped to attack me and what im doing
i dont think that its fair...to get such responses for hard work.
its nothing wrong...if i as developer wish some small and fair rules...no rules doesent means that its the best way.
i know 90% of users like what i do...and have no problems with me and my rules...but this few people...just dont stop to anger me.
there is one ultimate rule over all others.
IF YOU DONT LIKE THE DEVELOPER OR HIS RULES OR HIS CONCEPT.
JUST DONT USE HIS WORKS. STOP SUPPORT HIM.
but this few people dont want to do that...why? because they love my work...and they use it all the time...so why do they anger me...dont know...jealous...or they want copy me to get also good responses...i dont know that.
i just wished that the moderators would more react on such post...because i didnt do nothing bad...to no one!
btw...my icon set was downloaded over 15 000x times...that tells how many people are ok with me and what im doing...and how many are screaming against me...5 or 10?
