A lot of us contribute to the uccw app by sharing what we create. Through this sharing we've seen some amazing and creative things be born. We share with everyone with the assumption the work shared is not exploited for profit by some person who just rebrands it with a different name, and sells it as their own. In most cases a courtesy email is not even given asking for permission to use the work. Understanding it is distributed freely by the creator, they still have creative rights to that skin if you decide to redistribute for sale.
That being said I've always been taught to do the right things growing up, like don't lie, don't steal and be generous when you're able. So... since some people find it hard to do so, I think it would be beneficial to maintain a thread of shame listing those users who operate outside the realm of honesty. Thefts who are caught stealing other people's skins/work without permission will be posted here and 'outed'.
Let's see if public shame can do what your sense of right & wrong could not.

I have not given him my consent to use this, nor has he asked me, blackbearblanc, or pooely .
Note, He has also taken pooely Google now weather beta and sold that on his own before being caught and having it taken down.
Please take a min and visit his play store links and report the skins and send him an email of appreciation. An email to Google would be appreciated as well.
Thank you.
If you have seen or know of anyone else using someone else's skin or work without permission, please post the info here

Hey, I was bored so I figured I would code this app and throw it on the Android marketplace. It as all of the BLS Drug Profiles based off the Arizona Department of Health.
Before I throw it onto the market I figured I would ask what you guys think of the GUI. Do you guys like the way it looks? Or should I change it, what do you think I should do to make it better? Also keep in mind this is my first app.

Looks interesting. What I can see looks pretty good but you should post the apk so we can install and really check it out for ya.
This is a sorely needed app!
Thanks.
I wouldn't use blue for the text color though.
In bright lights or outdoors, that is gonna be very difficult to read.
Since this app could possibly be needed in an emergency situation, it's vital for everything to be able to be seen without any fuss or confusion.
Make it high contrast ... white text on black.
As for the overall ui, it's perfectly fine other than that. This isn't an app where asthestics are important. It's not something people will be glaring at for hours on end. It's utilitarian, it's reference. And keeping it simple is exactly what's needed.
One thing I might add at some point is a link to Wikipedia if there is one (at least I don't see it from the screenshots). Or if the material you're using for reference has other online references available to the general public, that's fine too. Especially something with links to pictures to help identify pills/capsules etc. That's just an idea.
Great job.
And if you're needing a beta tester, please let me know.
Thanks.

Ok, I will experiment with the color of the text I suppose. I can also ad a link to the Arizona Health Department Bureau of EMS. I also have a disclaimer to add, and it should be ready
Sorry for the double post, just wanted to let everyone know that I posted this on the market
My name is Carlos Rivas and I am a student on the MSc course in Applied Music Psychology at Roehampton University in London and member of the XDA Developers community. I am currently undertaking going a research project on how people experience music in their lives. I’m most interested in the intense experiences that music can bring out in us.
Through a series of questions, I would like to know more about those moments when you’ve felt intense emotions while you have been in contact with music. The purpose of the research is to outline how these intense emotions and music are related, and try to find whether different people have similar experiences related to music (as listeners, or as musicians).
If you like to participate, you may following link http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dHdiSzJva2k1NjUwX054bTRMblRvemc6MQ
Thanks in advance!

Taken your survey - But I couldn't answer the big question (the second screen) as I am at work and didn't have time Hope my answer do help some though.
I do like the line at the top about as you experience when NOT high
I just took that survey. I enjoyed every minute of it and i'm gald I had the chance to share my opinions on music with other people.
The last question on the first page? Yeah. I don't understand it. Make it something a high school freshmen can read Mr. I'M COOL BECAUSE I'M IN COLLEGE!

Rarely start threads but I had to start a second one today. This is too funny.
What Google is doing here is absolutely ****ing classic!!
I don't condone piracy but I also don't condone third parties being cost money in the dispute between copyright holders and copyright infringers.
Under the DMCA copyright holders are allowed to issue takedown requests for supposed infringements. Well instead of them taking on the actual sites that hold the offending materials or torrents, they have started sending takedown requests to search engines. Thus costing a third party money. Many search engines are considering starting to charge for requests. And rightly so.
Last week Google alone received over 700,000 requests.
A few weeks ago, Google started publishing stats for these requests.
Well now they have started publishing the actual requests. ROTFLMAO.
What this does is actually create a database of links to "pirated" material.
So copyright holders have their takedown requests published. Those requests contain links to the offending material. So they have accomplished NOTHING. Additionally, they now have to issue another takedown request to Google for the aforementioned original takedown request. Well that gets published and, boom, another link to pirated material is generated and published.
And so on, and so on, and so on.......
It is puuuuuurrrree genious/evil!!!

Now maybe companies will start taking on the actual offenders instead of third parties.

You go Google.
Where is that database? Maybe I'll find something interesting .
Hahahaha that is fantastic!

Hey Guys
A very Happy New Year to all :good:
Another day, another year and another useless thread for our G-Mini by me :highfive:
Long story short, check this thread out for more info HERE
Most of us will be aware of these titles if u are regular to hangout @ XDA ;
1. Recognized Contributor
2. Recognized Themer
Yeah you probably might say, who the phuck cares about these damn titles XD. I agree with u too, nothing changes even after we get a custom title.
But whats wrong in getting a little bit of "Recognition" for our works. After-all, why are most of us doin this ? For the sake of money ? nope..
Someone whips-up a cool icon set working for many hours or many bang their heads to solve bugs in ports/cooking roms and some do the impossible like porting cm 9/10/10.1 for our puny little device !
So for what ? Its all just for fun and only fun :angel:
It gives us pleasure and satisfaction to share our creations for free among other users, and why not a little bit of recognition among other users too...so why not a little title to set us apart ?
So what are the advantages ?
1. Ad-free browsing. [who the phck cares ? Most of us use add-ons to remove annoying ad's XD]
2. Special Forums
3. Special tools
Dont ask me what the last 2 are, even i dont know.
Our developer/cook/themer base is slowly growing so why not some "Recognition" for people of our phone too ?
Result ? Moderators, news writers, and other xda staff will take our device seriously even though we are a "Legacy Device"..
So what are the prerequisites to become a RC/RT/RD ?
1. Be an active member at XDA for more than 9 months.
2. Help people/beginners
3. Produce great works in development or themeing department.
4. The number of works should be at-least 7 to 10 according to XDA staff.
[Some relaxation might be given if the number of your works are less, but are exceptional.]
So iff you feel worthy, and deserve the title just leave a comment along with your most recognizable "works" here at XDA. Some of our existing RC/RT/RD members can pass it on to any Senior Moderator or RC/RT Liaison Chiefs..
Cheers ! :good:

Correction, you need to fill the RD form to become an RD, nominating wont do it.

yeah forgot about RD. Edited the OP. Thanks for mentioning.
Mod edit:Removed
Finally someone share this. I was one of the donators as well...
Let me help with one more bug and workaround: Video capture on Instagram also wont work, but you can use OGInsta to capture video with no problem (quality is a little low compared with stock instagram) (TESTED ON VNS-L31)
Oh yeah, when a developer starts scamming people who trusted him, everyone needs to know his behind-the-scene actions.
Already 20 people downloading, please remember to seed torrent after downloading. I can't seed it 24/7

Thank you for support @OldDroid we love you!!!
I'd just like to point out he didn't steal ****, you gave him the phone it IS his property, and while it would be nice for him to provide the rom free but the fact that you are so entitled to all this devs work for basically $200 is so beyond ignorant, you should be ashamed. He's asking for $5, stop being so ****ing stingey. Do you know how much work rom development takes?

I don't care how much it takes.
I don't care what it takes.
He was supposed to do it for free like XDA RULES state.
What I find amusing is the lack of kernel source from Meticulus. He is bound by the GPL to release it.

Hence why he stopped development rtard. He doesn't want to do it for free anymore so he stopped doing it. If you're so adamant about free roms why don't you get up off your ass and do it yourself instead of complaining.

This is why we don't allow bounties!
