I really don't get what the fuss is about this theme, ok so credit should be given where it's due I'm not arguing, but surely all that's required in this instance is "here's my theme - parts are borrowed from here and here, what do you think?" is sufficient.
It's ridiculous that we even feel the need to debate this, someone went out and built a theme they liked, and decided they would share it with the rest of us, something they did not need to do! Instead of saying thanks, we've shut down a thread because it wasn't precise enough about where it's components were found!
Regarding this theme, i love it, i think it almost perfectly combines the best parts of other themes and apart from the splash screen which i rarely see, makes my phone look great. I can't ask the developer to improve the theme now though thanks to a debate about a couple of icons! fantastic!

thanks faith..
it is clearly ridiculous..but i cant do anything..
HYBRID has in no way stop at all...this is just a set back..
i want my thread back....my original thread..
i am not going to make a new 1 cuz there no neeed..
to everybody that has MY HYBID THEME...or not
please post ur comments and give ur opinion about this whole situation...
and tell the admin/moderators u want my thread re opened....
please help me..
thats all i ask in return...
VIVA LA RESISTANCE!!!!!!!!!! hahah lol
i agree...the thread should be re opened because there is nothing wrong with his theme or how it was created. if you close his then you should close alot others because i know of 3 themes that share the EXACT same clock as the hybrid theme and a few icons and i dont see any reference to whee there clock and icons came from on there thread. everyone is not gonna have a completely different theme, clock, and set of icons. so IMO as long as he acknowledges that he made his theme from a combination of others i feel it is sufficient because whose to sat who FIRST created the black transparant clock that 3THEMES share and icons. as long as he is not saying he created the whole theme from scratch and taking all the cedit then whats the problem? nobody is payin for these themes so its not like he's getting anything from it besides happy hackers who love his work!
If you are referring to the black carbon fiber clock, the actual clock was posted by brandenk in a thread where he gave permission for anyone to use it.

Ok, but there are still a number of themes that share some the same icons and dont give credit to one another.
I do feel that shutting the thread down is the wrong decision...if that is the case, then I want the "Post ONLY your G1 Wallpapers here!" threat shut down...I know for a fact, that there is a Guinness wallpaper on there that I created and uploaded to g1wallz.com that is posted under someone elses name and no credit is given to me. I never really b!tched about it because I dont really care (I posted it on the www afterall, if it was that important to me I would have just kept it to myself)...but if we are going to get picky about giving recognition and asking for permissions then...
Some examples may be helpful, some of us have gotten icons from each other and some from deviantartbut I know the staff doesn't have time to go through every theme that shares something so examples may be needed
Ok here's a simple solution to give credit to all that's do credit.
Disclaimer=
*** I appreciate the hard work and have used icons/images from various sources.. for your hard work I appreciate it and you work lives on in insert theme name here. I wish I can recall all the names of the original makers but I can't as I have scoured the internet and other sources and can't recollect them. If 1 of your images is posted here that should not have been redistributed or used please feel free to contact Theme maker name here and we will work on resolving the issue.
End Disclaimer
The above should quickly cover your own @ss and give credit and thus stopping the fighting.
Now how many people have used google to search an item to recreate? not all are graphic masters and not all while trying to develop something remembers their sources.
I personally thank all theme makers and others for their hard work!!!
ANYONE ANYWHERE MAY USE ANY AND ALL COMPONENTS OF MY THEMES WITH OR WITHOUT ANY REFERENCE TO ME OR THOSE THAT HELP ME
With that said, I am here to help and learn. We are what make this phone awesome, not Google, not HTC, not T-mobile, and not any 1 person. I am truly honored anytime you guys use my components in your own themes, if I didnt I would not bother to make them.
If you guys cant understand that imitation is the highest form of flattery all I can say is go watch Star Trek, I learned this lesson from Data on TNG years ago and it has served me very well. Granted, i love it when you guys mention my name if you use my clock but Im not going to be offended if you dont. Especially since the clock wasnt "my idea". Im sure there are a million people out there that could argue they created something very similar way before me, and to them all I have to say is thank you for the great idea and I hope you appreciate my hard work to take your "idea" to the next level.
My ideal scenario would be everyone taking bits and pieces from themes they like and compiling them into a theme that is perfect for them.
Do you know how many of them probably got their icons from the same source? I know some of the themes were yes, obviously borrowed icons, but others were just coincidence. The whole point of open source is that anyone, can take anything anyone makes, change some ****, and create something totally new. Yes, they SHOULD provide credit, but its not key.
Simply put, if you don't want people to use your ideas, do NOT post them. Simple as that. Any moderator that finds the need to close a thread for that purpose is just, well lack for a better word, dumb.
Now to the theme makers directly, I thank them for all the work they put into the themes, it is a lot of work. However they aren't doing it for us, its for them. I wouldn't create a theme based on what everyone else will want, I'd make one that I like, I enjoy, then later post it here to allow others to use it.
So everyone, stop *****ing, stop complaining, and just enjoy what everyone has to offer.
I used that very same clock in my theme and I credited brandenk for it, what tootall4la is doing is wrong. Some people put allot of work into creating these themes, the least he could do is say thanks to brandenk for his clock and what not. Also, I think he got a complete lack of respect for others. Here's a quote when someone suggested he give credit to other people for using their work to create his "Frankenstein"
its a nice suggestion but will not be taken because..
i already gave credit to those ppl!!!!!!!!!!..
i am claming my theme.. im not claming anything else...
like i explained to jdwme..
and thats where my frankenstein title comes from because i use all these parts to make a new theme(a.k.a frankenstein) a new breed the HYBRID...
just call me creative.. no one else though of doing this.. to not dissapoint other theme makers..why should i ask for permission???haha..well im just doing what i think would be a great looking theme and so far ppl do think it is...so suck it lol.

Open the thread most of the themes contain parts of other themes,I know cause I can see my work all over but that does not matter. Hey guys I also say anything I have done as far as themes can be used with out giving me credit or permission if you want to give credit that would be better but its cool with me either way.

Theme Police are watcing I need better sun glasses.
Well....this is indeed a touchy subject. I Believe the thread should be reopened as well but.....I agree with Geo411. There does seem to be a lack of respect for other authors. There are authors on here such as Manup and Brandek that do not care, but that does not go for everyone. I for one dont really care for my own theme, but I love and respect all who have contributed to the community and wish that we do give credit to others that worked so hard and actually wanted to be recognized for it. It really does not take that much time to type out a few lines of recognition....Reopen the thread once recognition has been given.

Unless his attitude changes tootall4la will keep hitting a brick wall.
G1 is a fine line with "crediting" sources, since it is open-source.
Although, common courtesy of a thank you to all, is humane, a nice juster.
As for tootall4la's thread to reopen, noticing most theme makers dont mind whether they get credit or not, tootall4la should figure out who he should thank and PM him or them and work it out.
My opinion on this matter doesnt mean a thing. Since im not the mod who closed the thread, i wont be the mod to reopen it without assurance from all, that it's ok to reopen it.

Very Well Put... This Would Really Help Solve All This Madness. and i noticed they shut down the thread but i havent seen ONE post supporting keeping the thread closed which should make a point to the moderators that just because ONE person may have a problem, what ablout the rest of the people on the forums who IMO majority doesn't have a problem and wants the thread re opened.
Agreed, and it is personal taste. As a rule of thumb I think communities like this function more on sharing than owning content so if you want to own your content this community probably isnt the place for you. That said, I would like to encourage the sharing aspect of the community and remember, even tho I dont mind anyone using my components, when I get a thank you it goes a long way. Sometimes its a simple "ty" other times its someone buying me a beer, either way the more I get from you guys for my hard work the more willing I am to bust my balls trying to improve things for you guys.
What goes around comes around.
One Q; if the site really cared if we got credit then why is there no thank you button which would solve the problem. When you drop your theme you can be thanked and get your credit automatic.
Anyway a theme section is what's really needed not people fighting about themes who's icons belong to another designer,does anybody ask them permission?
Keep the piece guys it not that serious I would take what ever part of the theme that the other person is complaining about. Tell me what it is and ill make one for you,but I hope this is not going to be your only theme. I want to see some more work after this original.
Hey I also don't mind if people use/improve my theme, what I'm referring to was the improper etiquette used. Here's a PM from a user on the forum asking if he can improve upon my theme. This is proper etiquette.

I agree with this, if it wasn't for JF finding loopholes to root or Stericson for sharing what he discovered we about theming, we wouldn't be here modding our phones in the first place.
Once again the theme i use can no longer be updated! Why for the love of god are we still arguing about giving credit for a few stupid icons? Personally i'm giving up on the xda themes board! Do we honestly want to argue about who owns a freaking metallic bar or clock? Or would we rather have decent themes? Well i know what i wanted, but as i seem to be in the minority I'm giving up on the board and it's Nazi mods - yes i'm sure i'll get banned for this but as it's going to be impossible to download any themes anyway what difference does it make!
Thanks again for taking what's supposed to be a bit of fun and ruining it for everyone!
Didnt that only happen once? And arent there still a bunch of people like me still making themes and not at all bothered by people using them or editing them or copying them?
I just wanted to remind you that what you just described only represents a very small minority of this community.
So long as you ask for permission BEFORE you post any "hybrids", then there shouldn't be a problem. A few "stupid" icons is someone's hard work. Permission for releasing SOMEONE ELSE'S work is required anywhere. It is not a XDA forums only deal.

atool4all or whatever his name was decided not to respect anybody else's work even after he was given a chance to rectify things. No respect for others that put in hard work shouldn't be accepted anywhere. If you can't see that then I hoped you enjoy your stay here on these boards. so long, bye, cya
To be completely unbiased about the whole situation and shed a bit of light on the whole issue... if the theme developers who originally created the art are open to anyone using their work they need to specifically say so in their posting of a theme. Taking icons from deviant art and not giving credit is a violation of intellectual property rights and could result in lawsuits if appropriate actions are not taken and if permission directly from the artist is not given. Being a person that worked for several years in the entertainment industry, I can tell you first hand that you need to cite work if its not yours... regardless where it comes from. If you "borrow" art for your own purposes, good for you but don't expect a good reaction if you release it as your own.
Recap:
1. Theme makers, if you don't care if people use your original artwork for their own themes... make sure to document very clearly when posting your themes.
2. "Tracers" <'Chasing Amy' reference for those who know it> if a theme maker says they don't care that you use their work please give credit. The artwork isn't as easy as it looks to be and a lot of free time that could be spent else where is being used to contribute to the freedom that we have on this forum.
Know what I'm saying??? Moderators agree???
all the mods said is add your sources but he did not, and as for a few icons just from my theme his dialer and a few icons are from me how hard is it to thank the creators for the use of their work? it is the polite thing to do. like i said i don't care if people use my images but post where you get the images from. i am sorry to see he is banned for good all he had to do was add the sources.we all would like a descent theme but if you are asked to add sources do it, no big deal.the rules are fair and understandable. i would have liked to see him get one more warning, but i don't know if he did. when you make a theme or wallpaper you like to here looks good or nice or get some positive post on it same with the images.
I Dont Care
I dont care if anyone asks me to use my theme parts or not... personally i dont.
I think of this as open source work for anyone to use without my permission or giving me credit.. if they like it to use it thats my credit... I know what I created and its a form of flattery to me.
hard work or not... I like to see what people do with other parts of themes.
Use my stuff... I dont care.. its not like it is paid work or anything... if they get paid for my stuff than thats different... but as for now....
I DONT CARE...lol
good riddance. even i can make a theme from someone elses work. the photoshop editing is the hard part. this guy is no developer or theme creator. he is a hack and should be banned.
I agree.. he borrows other peoples work (some theme devs care, others don't) and doesn't credit anyone. It's just kind of rude, if you ask me... Personally, I don't care if he's here or gone. I thought his hybrid theme sucked any ways. It was a big sloppy mess, imo.
I'm sure I don't know everything that transpired, but I sure hope tootall4la was issued a deadline to cite sources in the OP before the ban became permanent
after all, in the IP world, "borrowing" someone's work only becomes problematic when the borrowee takes issue with it

my $0.02 before the thread gets closed or deleted.
If the creator of hybrid can take the time to edit and take apart everyones theme to create his "hybrid" why can't he take 3 minutes to cite who's theme icon A was taken from?
He has no valid argument, he could of been given permission or not, giving credit where credit is due is just right.
I wonder what he would of said if I downloaded "hybrid" changed a couple of things and released it as my own work?
The OP was given a temp ban just over 1 week ago for not citing his sources and getting testy with some of the Mods.

All it sounds like is miss use power of the mods. He gave credit to the authors of the themes he said. Still he gets banned for not complying with some rule pulled out of the air after a week. But I mean a week... maybe something came up.
I remember in school if you failed to give credit to your source for a essay you just got marked down a few % in your grade. you didnt get dropped from the class or kicked out of school for it.

He was asked to give credit to the themes which he borrowed and he gave attitude. So he got a 1 week ban to cool off and come back to make things right. He didn't and gave more attitude and now he is banned for good. He had his chance and he blew it. Oh well his theme was ugly and wasn't even a good mashup.

Furthermore, Randum, don't listen to him. I like your themes more than any of the ones that change every icon. At least yours look great after you install some apps.

personally, i'm all for legalization but i agree with the rest. your very first post has to be smoking related, that doesn't look to well about your future intentions.
i say you should learn to make your own.

HAHA... that is an oxymoron. A stoner learning, come on now.
@ the OP: there is a old theme floating around here called "legalize it". Once you get your hands on that search in one of the stickies on how to port it over... I would recommend doing this pre-bluntage!!!

Yeah cause im sure thats where Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, Joe Rogan and anyone else who has ever smoked is still doing it.
Not to go to far into it, but if weed was legalized and taxed, not only would it make revenue for the government, but it would SAVE BILLIONS in non-violent drug(weed) related imprisonment!!!

I'm sorry, but I quoted a famous swedish artist (Lasse Åberg - Click here). It's from a painting of a schoolclass.
This only shows how different peoples view on the subject is.
A weed smoker is a junkie to me.
And to you it isn't. I guess you're a junkie and I'm basing that on your reaction to my previous post.

The point was that it was his first post ever on xda, and it had to be drugrelated..

I concur.
I have no idea how smoking bud would make you a druggie. Alcohol is a REAL drug and poison. Don't get me wrong, I still imbibe occasionally.

I got a port for you david, just got to drive a couple hours to get it. lol. Is it worth it?
And to everyone else that talked **** bout a 420 theme who cares, and who cares if it's his first post. I'll rock the theme is one is made. Hell I might be the one that makes it. Who wants to crack on me, come on now. I'm waiting for some jokes. I'm ready to bring the wrecking crew. Tell em david.
I didn't want to get POSTED IN WRONG SECTION'd, but goddamn that pull down is fugly!
Am I the only one that hates the freaking stretched out look in landscape? Why have devs held on to this thing from Manup's theme? It looks HORRIBLE to me, especially on Myn's.
/endrant
I was here getting all pissed over it when I came across the NinjaMorph how-to guide. I fixed it my damn self, lol.
BTW: framework-res.apk is what you're editing -- there's an error on the 1st page that had me searching for the wrong thing.
Thanks for reading the rant and possibly shaking your head at me. I had to get the rage out on the internets and not in real life.
Myns Rom is ugly period. Slow and a stupid idea of a Rom. Who bloats it up when speed is much more important. Imo.

That's just impolite, Novan. It's fine to say you don't like it, but Myn works very hard and each release includes improvements as requested by his users - he always takes notice of suggestions. Warm is also one of the most-used ROMs in the community, so he must be doing something right. Keep that stuff to yourself.

everyone has diffrent likes, thats why there is more than one rom out there
what ROM do you have posted on here for us to criticize? probably another CMBOT. Congrats on making the cut for my updated ignore list. Oh your avatar is ugly

I just donated to his ROM... I like it, and I like how he tries different things... to each his/her own, but there is no reason to badmouth someone for trying new things...
That is my opinion and having an opinion is not impolite.....
Come on people...I mean children.

It is called for. Just like people bash car manufacturers for the ugly design... they worked hard on that design but I don't tell reviewers "that was uncalled for".
C'mon man!!!

Agreed, it's easy to armchair qb when you don't have anything meaningful to contribute other than a crappy attitude

I like how when people are dicks they say it's an opinion, but when you call them on it your childish. Can't dish it in is the definition of a baby

I haven't tried myn's rom and I for one am a real smartass/jerk. But to blatantly voice your opinion LIKE THAT on a forum? Makes you come off as a prick, makes one wonder if you're trying to make up for something...
also am planning on flashing myn's rom later today, if its ugly I'll just keep it to myself. Developers deserve respect, something you obviously lack.

ok im not gonna keep feeding the troll but the difference is car manufacturers are FOR PROFIT. XDA devs do this for free as a service to the development community. There is nothing wrong with voicing your opinion, theres no issue with that, but when you do it like you did, then it is a problem, which is why everyone in the thread is screaming at you for your comments.

They can have respect and a little opinion sprinkled on top.

There is nothing wrong with expressing your opinion about something...even if it is negative, but the manner in which you, and many others, choose to do so is horribly impolite. There is never a need to be hateful our hurtful. Nothing is improved by it, and nothing you said had any chance of leading to a better product. Why? Because you gave zero information. Saying "It is stupid" doesn't help the designer do a better job, out give him a better idea of what people want. All you have done is bash someone else's work. It's your prerogative, dude, but "manners make the world go round" is the saying for a reason. Being a douche and then calling others childish doesn't make you ironic...or at least not in a good way.

Gosh. Let's see....
Myns Rom is slow because of the theaming and transitions. The Orange and brown duo is ugly and reminds me of homes with those old 70's carpets.
Is that still hateful?
I don't even hate it because I have tons of roms to chose from.

You seriously can't win on this forum at all. Lol.
One: I used the search to find an answer to a problem that *I* personally had.
Two: I searched through the thread for Myn's ROM and couldn't find the solution.
Three: I Google'd a bit to find an answer to the problem and couldn't find a solution.
Four: I searched a few more times through the Theme section and found a possible solution and read.
Now if at any one of those points I posted a thread as to how to fix it, I'm sure some one would have posted I should have searched and that the thread is useless. So I solved it for myself and post here that I was frustrated and needed to vent and now I'm creating an inflammatory thread. LOL.
I might go and message him, but I figured if people had the same opinion as me, the ROM wouldn't have gone through however many revisions and kept the pull down. Therefore, I kept my mouth shut and didn't bother messaging him. Oh and when it was in Manups custom theme, I posted in that thread and got no response - if you look through my posts, you'd probably find it. I mean, hey I've got a total of 14 posts and my phone is all customized!
I've been on since before I had an Evo reading and trying to understand things. It's my FIRST smartphone, lol. So give me a break. I tried.
simple solution, if you dont like it, dont use it, just keep it moving

Hah you lack good taste. It's ok though. We're a loving community that also accepts users with horrible design sense and complete lack of understanding of the concept, "form follows function".
Swyped from my EVO
What have you developed that gives you the right to talk **** about other peoples Roms. I love how kids are always acting hard on the net but then in person are softer than a carton of eggs. Myn like it or not has put tons of work into his Roms next time just send him a message.
