Ive been customizing my own roms ever since i got my first one. Its common sense. How many have i posted and put my name on? 0. It was not my work,so i would never try to take credit and put my name on a product that i had less than 1% participation in the creation of. If that was the case id have @ least 12 roms of MY titling. I honestly think its sad that ppl think they can name a rom,that:
1.)You cut and pasted. A 7yr old could do that.
2.)Is clearly less than 1% your own work,especailly offending the guys that do the REAL work to make our roms,Toast,Flipz,Gbhil and crew...
3.)Is free to anyone through AOSP,android open source project.
Give credit where due and dont rename your own version. If you cant cut and paste some files to customize* your rom,you shouldnt even be here. Doing something thats SIMPLE COMMON SENSE should not permit you to steal someone else's hard work and butcher it. Honestly WHERE WOULD ALL THESE WANNABE ROMS BE W/O ALL THE BIG DAWGS(Gbhil,Toast,Flipz,...etc)hard work and coding? Oh wait,they wouldnt have ANYTHING to add a stupid cheesy name to.
how many times are you gonna copy and paste that post?
Do you want attention new guy?
all you just did was copy and paste... a 7 year old could have done that.

Hey, I wanted to bring a few things to your attention.
One, this is open source, I could do whatever I want with it. I could change the colour and release it for all I care.
Two, is it your concern?
Three, Your spamming... excellent use of copy and paste there dummy .
Four, we act like seven year olds? LOL
If it bothers you so much, stay away from our ROMs.
Thanks, have a nice day

No.I do not need it. BTW, thanks for your reply when i needed assistance the other day. Im not new. I run my own android website and i fix android devices in the forum. I dont like to flood threads here, i normally use this site for info and feedback on roms and root issues i cannot solve myself. I just really apprecaite ppl that can do things that i would like to be able to do and flashing new roms is a bit of fun for me, and w/o their work i wouldnt be able to do this stuff until i purchase my next device. Just giving props to the rightful owners....
sorry
I was not trying to upset people. Just been thinking since ive began seeing all the new roms.
hmm....

This thread was obviously opened with the bad intentions. Let's not do this again please. Closed.
I'm a linux dev but not a android dev so please forgive the ignorance.
Can we take the work Paul has done and use it against the incredible? What do we need for that to work? a recover image? It sounds like he's gotten it to work with the hboot 0.80(not documented yet). I know the incredible is at hboot 0.77.
I dont know if the hboot 0.80 tricks would work for us since we're on a lower version.
Thanks!

We really need pauls help. He doesn't want to help because he's in the UK. And doesn't have access to one. So..someone needs to talk him into it. Lol. We really need his help. Unless you can find out more about his method and help make a custom Rom/recovery for us.
I might be willing to give up mine and ship it to him(wanting it back of course). If he breaks it, he breaks it..its under insurance.
I'm new to the scene so I don't have any relationship with him to ask as a favor that he try it. If someone could work that side of it..maybe we can get him to work on it.
Wow thatd be pretty sweet. Um talk to someone in the root thread. Someone's bound to know someone or head over too www.modaco.com and pm him yourself. I'm very sure if he wasn't responsible he would love to have access to the incredible. Doubt he will say no. Plus sense gives you the option to authenticate your gmail over WiFi.
idea
Used to read the Eris forum religiously and I had an idea... If he agrees why not start a collection to get an incredible? Five hundred bucks is a lot of money, but not I'd there are fifty people contributing which I'm sure we can swing...that's ten bucks each!
There are some trusted members of this community that might be interested in helping?
What do you think?
I'm going to try and hit Paul up on Irc tonight, but I really don't think his method will work.
Why don't you think his method would work? I know that there are some differences between the two, but its a start isn't it?

which irc is he in?
Because he is using a test img that was signed by HTC, that is why you need a gold card, witch as of right now I believe gold cards are disabled for us. But the way it works is with the gold card you can flash any Rom that is made for your device, ie bypassing carrier restrictions. Because the test Rom he is using has been signed with test keys it will allow you to than flash the update that was again signed with test keys. As of right now there is no way for us to use this method. But I am still going to see if I can get more info, from him. And lastly, we have a cdma device and there roms are gsm, that's a great way to brick your phone real fast, if you could find a way to flash it.
I wonder if the right 'donation' would motivate some developers to get to work on the root
I'm not going down that road again with donating. It just caused too many problems.
I agree donating can just cause a big mess. I am down for however I can help tho as I miss my rooted moto droid. lol

You could donate after the root was made.
I'm sure it's in the works...most like to sit back from the forums and do it in the privacy of a few to avoid being flooded with a million questions that have already been answered or questions about when it will be done.
Patience is a virtue.
Plus I won't be getting the phone for like a month. haha.

And people like you are reasons why other devs dont like to help us out. Give credit, and most of the time, they allow. I used 5 diff devs stuff in my release. Got permission from all of them. They said, thanks for asking. Thats all it takes. Its called respect. And working together.
EDIT: XDA must have thought he was bad since they banned him, but he is now back again.

alright look, im not fighting for him only stating that this is a forum dedicated to doing things your told you can't, correct? i don't agree with the fact that hes not giving credit to other devs or posting links back to original files. trust me i understand how having things stolen feels. but in his defense mabey speaking with him instead of accusing might be a good idea. Apple is suing GOOGLE for stealing ideas. honestly our phones seem to have been built around stolen ideas,
mabey im just playing devils advocate here but, you really have to ask yourself do you want to feel like steve jobs today?
but now thinking about it after xda as a wholes better judgement said to get rid of him . . . (head down) mabey there right

This is actually pretty cool, shoutout to whoever created this!
Guys, there's a reason I posted a guide..
It's so that anyone can adapt it however they want. I could even care less about credit, since that's the OP's choice.
And being that it's such a low level hack, all it takes is a little bit of tinkering to figure everything out.
No need to grill him.
nothings stolen. i found that myself when i was looking for some files myself.
it may have been posted already but i didnt know about it.

Thanks for giving credit to decadeance. Just FYI for anyone else that might be wondering, using the work of others without giving due credit IS against the rules of XDA-Developers.
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

Since this was resolved in a matter of which did not require a moderators attention then no warnings will be issued since it seems to have been an honest mistake. It is true that this is OPEN SOURCE however that does not mean that you can claim rights to another developers work. We are striving to aid others in achieving more with the community but a house divided against itself cannot stand. Work together, treat each other with respect, resolve issues/problems/differences via private messages whenever possible to keep the forum from getting out of hand and always remember to follow the rules.
Thanks for your time.

open source does not mean you can go taking others people work and passing it off as your own... but I guess since you did one a2sd script that everyone used you feel it was right to take 95% of another rom and relabel it your own?
A simple credit would of taken care of this whole mess and kept everyone of your threads from being locked. It's not hard to tell others that YOU did not do everything in YOUR rom, but you choose to say you don't work with team douche but you sure are quick to take from them..

Last night, I, locked all of KingKlick's Rom threads.
As for the reason, i have evidence he intentionally copied at least 2 Roms from respectable Android developers, renamed the and called them his own.
I dont have time, due too work, no internet at work.
He isn't banned at the moment, for later today, will be sending him a PM to open a thread in PUBLIC and explain himself.
Why public?? For the simple reason.........he kept shoving a donation link in every thread he created, unlike the other developers, he copy-catted from.
If anyone know about checksums , you can not really fake them, they are like encoded serial keys to a zip file?
Every change you make to a rom once you compile it, no matter how simple or minor it is, the overall checksum will change for that file and/or the overall checksum.
If someone wants to PM him for him and have him start his statement while im working, thank you. If not i will PM later tonight.
We can not/should not allow developers coping roms, collecting money on others hard work. As he calls it his own.
Im uploading the files right now to Mediafire, will have link later for all too look at if needed.
A couple mods on here know about King and his crap he has been pulling off, so it's not a big surprise.

Gotta love the internet, where the rule of law means ****. Anyone ever heard of innocent until proven guilty?
Heck, Klick hasn't even been formally notified by the XDA staff as to why his threads are locked, never mind a formal accusation. Yet it seems the community has already made it's decision, with pitchforks and torches in hand.
I'm sorry, but what a crock! If any of you were accused of an offense, i'm sure you'd all want the benefit of the doubt, and a fair hearing before being tarred and feathered!
I strongly encourage the XDA staff to contact Klick directly in regards to this issue, and to make a public statement. Anything less constitutes a witchhunt, and I for one do not want to sit idly by and watch that unfold!
I can get your Hero on Boost Mobile with calls, text, mms, and data working. Contact me through PM and I'll give you more information. This method will work on the Pay as you Go or the Unlimited for $50 plans.
