okay so a wide generalization here but anyone who used phone alarm to emulate an iphone etc etc is breaking copy rite law... and its you who I want to talk to anyone else push back and don't look back...
So my next question shouldn't be taboo as were all hacker pirates anyway...
Where can I get the registration code for phone-alarm? or a new or older version of phone alarm with a crack?
Your not telling me you all paid for it?... PS to anyone who helps me and is still seeking the Iphone skinning software, in one easy to manage cab file... I have it, it was a bugger to find - but I got it.
I've skinned my pda to the chuff monkers and I'm not forking out a shilling for a program even if it is the icing on the cake! To be honest I don't like icing anyway, I'm not fussy, I'll have it - but I don't want to pay for it!
If you could let me know - in a post, and maybe we could arrange a file transfer at some point.
that'd be Fabby!
JJ McG!
congrats you win the NUMPTY of the week award. Go get a job.. buy the software and then maybe install a bad GPS program and drive off a clift!
off a clift huh?, very intelligent.
meh
Congratulation Jonjamesm! You just got yourself a 1 way ticket for being banned. Congratulation again
LOL... Kids these days...
What makes you so special? Pay like everybody else. You should probably have a look at Number 11 on the post at the top of this forum as well . . . .
pffft....
in that case, I propose a ban on the apple Iphone sticky thread... and any other thread that has theme/emulation software specifically made to clone a copy written item and the boasting of owning such software.
Captin jonjamesm - the torrent pirate.
Big
deal.
Jonjamesm, the rules are quite clear - we have a healthy respect for developed software on this site.
This thread is closed and you can have a one week ban to think about this. Any further posts like this will lead to a permenant ban. Jonjamesm if you had not told a member to p..s off (2nd post which you have edited)i would have only given you a warning.

Hi all,
i was googling for tweakui and came a result from handango.com => http://www.handango.com/SoftwareCat...Id=2&N=96806+4294910762&showBreadCrumbs=false
Check this guy is selling the tools he got free here at xda-devs.
the people who made the soft should do something about it...
I've just written to Handango. Please write to them to and get this thief off their books.
I have noticed that your vendor T.N Vietaus Trade (Australia) is selling a number of illegal (ie pirated or stolen IP) products, including Microsoft ROMs for Windows Mobile phones.
Also, he is reselling free products written by members of the xda developers forum at a significant mark up, free software for example being sold for $49.99.
Please ask this vendor to remove this software, or remove it for him.
Kind regards,
vijay555 (moderator at xda-developers.com)

What a ****en Lame ass *****. THat is just the lowest you can go to, selling stuff that is offered to us here for free. **** him, ive written to them also to get this ***** from selling stuff on there. Good eye and thanks for making everyone aware of this.
I've sent handago an email as well. Keep the emails going.
what is the email?
Found the HQ phone number, will try to call (cant call anymore sorry) but will need more info on this like what app and other stuff that you can give
305 NE Loop 820
Suite 600
Hurst, Texas 76053
Corporate Office: 817-280-0129
Fax: 817-280-9628
He has ebooks in http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/category.aspx?bcatid=1129&av=14-275257
And same app's come up in the Microsoft handango page that is linked to the Microsoft Windows Mobile Product page Site http://microsoft.handango.com/PlatformTopSoftware.jsp?siteId=75&platformId=2&title=T.N+Vietaus+Trade+(Australia)&authorId=1811375
Mod needed
Can a mod post this in other forums so that everyone that has made a app can check if their app is in the selling list
Email of the supposed developer tnvietaus AT gmail dot com
And if im doing something wrong in giving this out, this info is on the web
This is insane.
haha I just left HORRIBLE reviews warning people on all of the links you just provided Mike.. lol.
I also emailed HIM... and Handango.
no, I just let them know that this stuff was available for free ...
The thing that IRKS me is he doesnt explain that there is MORE to just downloading and running the update to these.. so alot of people are probably ruining their devices.
FYI, this is one instance where the DMCA can be used to your benefit (if you are one of the software authors).
Do NOT write to Handango, et al, complaining that someone is selling free software.
Do write to the resellers and state, factually, that this person is selling software that *you* wrote without your permission or authorization. Also state, very factually, that you want the software pulled and any monies charged for the software to either be refunded to the purchasers or forwarded to you.
What would also help out is if all the software authors were to allow one person (perhaps vijay would be a good choice as he is both a mod and a software author) to act on their behalf so there is a single point of contact for XDA.
Tell me the address of Handago (and Microsoft, If I have read and understand well) and I also send an email.
Just a thought: many here (maybe me too?) searchin' and using no purchased software, and therefore one of us (or one of those having this "habit", if you like more saying so) has found not violating any legal or moral law. World goes around...
Gubbài.
He is selling over 90 titles, and they are ALL available here for free just about.. he is selling the dang HTC X-button for 24 dollars! lol.
derma, I think everyone here is realistic about software availability and software use... read around for my personal views on warez etc.
The board however has a strict policy on banning for distributing warez.
But, it takes some particularly spiteful cojones to steal someone else's work and then put your name on it and sell it. And then selling at an absurd markup... come on. There's reasonable cheekiness, but that's just taking the micky.

Understanding doesn't mean accepting

Just to explain my position about this.
As I wrote on the title of this post, I figure out what it can be the reasoning of this person but meanwhile I absolutely don't accept what he did (or it's better saying "what he didn't do" 'cos what he's selling it's not stuff of his own).
My thought doesn't want to be a provocation, at least not a gratuitous provocation, but a simple-soft thinking about a hard problem: copy-right (and use-wrong).
Obviously this is a real theft, more odious than that "normally" made to the detriment of that author of the software who sell his creation having the conceptual rights to do that. In this case we can see instead a double somersault: he sell something not of his own that originally is (was) free.
Hope being plain.
PS: "cojones"?! Maravilloso! ¡Hasta la revolución, siempre!
Gubbài.
It isn't just the markup, its the flagrant lack of informing people of the consequences of attempting to use those warez without having ample experience with their device. He just says 'For expert. Use at your own risk' he doesn't say .. 'If you don't know what you are doing your phone is dead.. d .. e .. a .. d' .. I feel bad for the people who have purchased these and tried to run them not knowing about unlocking and what not.. it's a shame
OMG, another one.

JayJay - since this is a useless thread, let me add some value
This pains me every time I see it ... and I'll explain why:
WinMoDevelopers.co.cc
Forums for NON HTC Devices
The idea of a WinMo Forum place for non HTC devices is great. But for the life of me I would never ever be able to remember that URL.... It's really, sorry to say, terrible for branding, terrible for memory, and by the very use of .cc it looks amateurish. And the only reason why I point this out -- to be helpful actually -- is that I just did a quick domain search and all 3 of these are available -- as dotcoms -- the universal easy-to-remember address -- since you more or less drop the .com and only have to remember the first part.
To reach the same audience you wish to reach more of, I believe you'd do much better with one of these.... and that was just my first-pass thinking in 2 minutes... please don't take offense. Branding is important... it's also not something everyone is naturally good at. best regards, /qs
WinMoDevices.com
WMdeviceforums.com
WinMoPhoneforums.com
the idea was to have a simialr forum for nonhtc devices
the issue is my forum is a new forum
it has yet to recieve any finacial donations and it uses a forumer.com forum so i cant pick up the software like vbulletin and input it inot a server or whatnot just yet
also since there is no money being donated and im not making any due to unemployment then im having trouble finding the money to buy a domain
so until i get a job or i get any donations then itll have to be a free domain till then
also it cant all be that bad, a goolge search for winmodevelopers brings up every ite i have.
btw
i find it hard to take offence here after the first few flames i got when i started
I gotcha.. i didn't know it was a free domain. I also understand well re economic times, amigo, and I wish you well. I totally see the value of this additional WM niche not served nearly as well at HTC owners. I want to talk to you about that. And secondly I would like to buy a domain for you-- it's 10$ /year... and I can offer you hosting, perhaps w vB. I do have it installed. You may have zero time right now, and perhaps zero motivation/interest at moment due to much higher prioroties, but I think there are opportunities there and for you to play a bridge role between sites would be great. When you are READY to chat please send me an email. (see my profile). Thanks, and glad you weren't offended. It hadn't occurred to me that the name was formatted that way due to beung free.
best regards/ quicksite.

Ok, maybe the title is a little over the top, but does anyone else feel that this is just a crime?
Selling HD2 Android Upgrade!
I'm sure HTC probably doesn't like it. And I'm double sure the people who have worked to create the tools to do would like their share if it's going to be sold.
Just my 2 cents.
If people are stupid enough to buy it who cares...
I agree with both posters so far. See some of the prices of phones on that site? Holy ****.
Have any of the actual developers commented on this yet, or have they been made aware?
I would hope that these IP thieves get what's coming to them, but sadly they'll probably be able to carry on profiting from other peoples work.
Geeting an HD2 and play around with your own Android installation is fine.
Selling HD2 with pre-installed Android orpaid Android installing service is a violation of ethics and moral.
Those price...it is criminal!!!
I hope the authority will do something against this kind of act.
Alright so I have had Andromeda 2.0 installed on my captivate for quite a while now, needless to say those guys did an excellent job building that puppy. I was even able to turn one of my die hard AT&T friends toward it. I grow tired of things quickly, so now I'm looking to upgrade my phone once again to a new ROM. I haven't made up my mind completely yet, I still love Andromeda might switch to a new kernel IDK. Give me what you think will be a good ROM for a somewhat newbie ROM flasher/user/developer.
But any way, the real reason why I'm posting on this forum is because a scholarship opportunity that became available to me.
But any way, the real reason why I'm posting on this forum is because a scholarship oppurtunity that became available to me. The scholarship is called "Your Question Your Mark" and it valued at 40K (10K/year). UD is a private school that has an excellent engineering program that has many ties to WPAFB, and allot of respect. The downside is UD costs a pretty penny, and my parents don't want to fork over too much dough. So the most of tuition lies on me. Financial aid from FASA is out out of the question too.
I've already been accepted into the UD electrical engineering program, and I hope to major in electro-optics in the future.
So what am I asking from the viewer of this thread? Just go to the link and click on the like button under my video, and if you are feeling saint like distribute the video to other laser enthusiasts and friends. You don't even have to watch it, however you may learn a lil something. You will need a Facebook account to do so though. If you don't have a Facebook, they are pretty cool an all...
You can look through some of the other videos, just don't like any of them. Please! It is competition based on the amount of votes you receive. The top 10 videos with the most votes are to be judged, 3 videos are selected. 1st prize is $40,000 and 2nd and 3rd are only $2500. Yeah I know big drop off.
Sorry about the choice in music, originally I made a pretty sweet intro using Animoto to Livin on a Prayer. I posted the Intro on YouTube then ripped it off, just cause Animoto doesn't let you own the video. Needless to say I violated several copyright laws, so I decided to play it safe then sorry and use some copyright free music.
Hope you all will enjoy the video as much as I will enjoy your all's vote.
The link is now under this post, its where it says I last edited it. Forum rules say I have to have at least 8 posts before I can post a link. So please do this for me, and just copy and paste the link into your address bar.
What does this have to do with the Captivate?
No idea, but ud (University of Dayton) is pretty expensive. I live just about 2 minutes from it. Without them and Miami Valley Hospital, Dayton would be dead. But ya, what's it gotta do with the captivate?
You are definitely not following forum rules by posting this. No report button from the xda app but it should get locked/deleted. Good luck with school but this is not the proper forum.
This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine
Thread closed
The absolute non structure weirdness and quite frankly appallingly terrible decision to remove actual forum sections has had an impact on everybody, not just the end user but every single person who uses XDA.
A weirdo decided to change something that needn't be changed, but went and did it anyway, they altered something that meant that you HAD to add a category otherwise your thread will literally sit in limbo without a category.
Who on earth tboght this was a good idea? It isn't, it's pitiful. The familiar development, Q+A, general, themes are GONE!
In its place is one section of threads, no order whatsoever, perhaps if they've chosen to pick a category but they don't have to, it's not mandatory??????
Whoever sanctioned this needs sectioning.
Web version rant over......
Onto the app!!!
Where can I start, I actually enjoy looking back on previous devices, why?
Because they actually are formatted and filtered correctly, you know like a FORUM!!! Like a normal forum like the billions on the internet...
For some reason that's gone, you've got a weird plethora of non negotiable threads with zero distinction besides what the title is; which again is subjective if it even has been categorised.
Beyond the absolute mentalness.
You cannot choose a category on the app.
I actually paid for the premium version of the XDA app back in the day...why?? If ever there was an advert for ripping off an awful dev, it's this, I pay for all my apps I don't do warez but this is an incentive to do the prior.
You! Soon after the elimination of the XDA premium app which wasn't like 20p it was a few quid, made an ad laden version which was worse, now it's barely usable.
What is going on?????
I'd say I'm sorry for feeling this way but it genuinely feels like a director who's face fits just got a job and he has to change something for the sake of changing it.
It's idiotic!
One senior mod actually told me that they did it to save bandwidth !!!!!
Reputations are built in years of hard work, work you've already done, yet there destroyed in seconds, with an idiotic decision, something you've just done.
No gif could describe the facepalm I wanted to convey, I can only say one word.
No..
Final thought:
XDA is an amazing place, a place I've loved for years, I've seen and met some phenomenal people, so much talent and promise, so much collaboration it makes me proud to not only be an Android enthusiast but human in general.
All you've done is give us hurdles to jump.
Get the old system back. Don't change something because it could be do it for the right reasons, if it's too be taboo then at least have a vote on it. Personally I think you'll find it's a one sided event.
The new system is abysmal and there putting it mildly.
As most parents have said to their crap kids.
"I'm not upset, I'm just disappointed"
