The problem is, you have started a new thread! If you want to show him some love, do it in his thread!
You see, everytime you and everybody else creates some useless thread, it creates more results for users when searching. In other words, STOP CLOGGING UP THE FORUM!

ROFLercoaster!!!111
ahhhhh, the good ol CS days....
can we get a "MERGE"?
Whosdaman ripped most of my work. I sent him all the OEMs, because I trusted him. I told him not to make some stuff public. If you want to see where all the stuff originated from go to PPCHaven, and under Premium content see NFSFAN's ROMS. XDA didn't create Manila2D, it was created by HTC, and the guys here ripped it out of the Opal Dump Rom. The HTC EzSips found on XDA work cabbed, but do not work properly when made into an OEM. I spend a good couple of hours fixing up the rgu made from the cab. Most of the manila2d credit goes to HTC and to those on XDA who ripped it out of the Opal Dump. The charge and battery icons you see in whosdaman roms are those which i ripped out of opal and gave to him, because he didn't know how to. I've helped him to improve his rom, given that I get proper credit. He has credited me, but completely ignored the fact that I told him not to release some stuff.
At least he didn't alter your work and call it his own.
hahahhha wow that was funny ^....
First of all I didn't call it my own work. I named the program USB2PC, that isn't even close to calling it my own work.

Touche, I think that's worse.
This is getting to be dumb.. If you feel dishonored or stolen from contact the person in a private manor before you bring it public... Pm him if you have a problem.
BTW- NFSFAN i feel sorry for u for not getting to explain urself on ur manor but life goes on.
Well...I feel dishonored, as I don't even get a say in my side, NFSFAN told me I was allowed to use the OEM he told me in my ROM as long as I didn't tell anyone the secret on how to fix it....now I had a working OEM but with a little issue, he had the fix and he said to use his instead so I did....and I have given him full credit as well....you can check my credits and thanks in my thread, and it was change as soon as I updated to v1.5, which was the first version to contain the fixed HTC EZinput and I also Added the Diamond Sound and Battery Images as well....but the rest of the stuff I made myself by downloading the CABs from this site from the XDA Team
Sure he sent me his OEMs, but they didn't work in my rom at all...so I made my own, but if I did use his, I would have given full credit....but I didn't the only OEM I have used of his is the HTC EZInput in v1.5 of my rom which I just updated to early today...
Thank you, thats my side...

This whole thing is getting out of control. Chefs, (me included) need to chill out with the whole credit thing. In more cases than none, the proper credit is given. If it is not, simply pm the person, not put them on blast in a public manor. Usually it is a mis-communication. This in my opinion, would be resolved if the dumb DONATE BUTTON would be banned. Not once have i requested money nor do i think its necessary for any chef to do so. I do it for fun and share incase anyone else would like to use my work. This community is falling apart from cases like this.
My 2 cents,
Chris
ps. Ill probably be flamed for this but o well thats life.
lol whosdaman has a nice donate button here too . I did tell him not to use some OEMs, and some stuff that I've shared with him, for public consumption. Oh well, thats life, and people do whatever they like in this world of illegal activities. Think bout it, really everything going on here is pretty much illegal.

that solidifies my point even more. The donate button leads to the destruction of this community. As for illegal.. almost everything these days is against the law.
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!

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.

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

As long as this was made abundantly clear and he didn't comply, he deserved the ban.
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.

Personally I'm ok with it. I've said numerous times that people are free to use my themes and modify them as they see fit. I only ask that I'm credited for it.

Just to clarify...its not ahome...it looks like a developer created yet another home replacement that allows non root users to apply themes. I have not created any themes or applications (cuz I dont really have time to learn) but I think as long as the devs. of the themes are cool with it its a great idea.
I dont think it would be fair for the dev of this app to charge for it without paying 'royalties' to the original theme creators...but we will see what happens
While they should ask first i think its awesome that they not only gave credit but they are incorporating all the great themes on here into skins for all to use! I'm sure that upsets some theme makers though. For me i am using BUUF theme and now i can have skin of it for the app which makes me very happy. I think its kinda cool that the theme dev names are out there, will bring in more people to see theme dev outstanding work!
they are actually for openhome, not aHome. Seems pretty interesting
*looks like I'm a little late in posting
Open home always gives refrence to from where the theme is from so dont matter they give credit both to xda and the developer the only thing they must mention name of the theme developer too !!!
They really should test the themes before release...some of them (fadetoblue) really jack up the tray. If you're going to use someone else's work...at least make it look as good as the original. I do like the idea...wish dxhome would do it.
wow, i saw my theme posted in the market as well. They are giving credit so i'm totally ok with it. This might actually be a big step towards making installation of themes easier. Hopefully we'll see this and dxhome make further improvements.

My sentiments exactly. I love the progress that is being made now. I'm pretty psyched about in a small way being part of that.
I think this is great... Theme devs should get the word out there of where these are coming from so that the theme competitions can grow too .
XDA is the frontline for the growing community IMHO.
doh what the hell did i miss? I have been using an IPhone all day and some crazy stuff like this happens...haha
I think its cool my theme will get to more people, as long as the dev isn't making money off my work i'm fine with it. but i got to check this app out.
What about the regulars that rooted their phones 2 b able to get themes??? Now anybody can do it.... I don't feel so special anymore lol....
I'm jus sayin though...
im cool with it, my theme distortion red is up there now... glad that in return i get to use any and all of the apps for free, i pay them and be recredited my money back or theyd send me the apk outside of the market place...
never imagined that if i learnd how to theme and made them that Id be in the Android market... didint even have to pay the $25 fee
to the op... what is your point? credit was given, the themes that are being use in the app. are free, and you didn't even get the name of the program right. close this pointless thread, please.

i agree. can anybody make skins or themes for open home or just the dev? ive never tried one but i'm interested in learning how to or playing around with it. if it is possible and there's directions posted on how to do this could you point me to the thread (all i found was creating themes for root, i don't have root).

Well lets not group all senior members into that category, im not like that. There are some people on here, senior member and noobs that just talk to people that way, just the way it is. Moderators are not on here to make friends, they have a tough job moderating this forum. Its not their job to be polite, although most i know are very nice! Best thing to do is just ignore people like that man.
We're IT people, we don't have normal social skills

Dood, Im rocking the Distortion Red Skin right now. Its my fave.
Im using it with this background http://g1-wallpapers.com/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=4
Great work on this one.
I think they gave proper credit to the Dev's, and personally I had JFv1.41 on my phone, and removed it (back to stock ADP). I didnt like messing with all the modding. So Im happy to see that I have the option of theming/skinning without all the hassle.
I read over at "removed" that 7 comp themes are available at "removed". If so how did they get them and why aren't we shutting them down.
Where i went there and cant find anything.
The site does have the themes up
I wrote the administrator a message to see if he can remove them till unday.
Please keep this to yourself.
Sorry for editing your message but the few people that know, more fair the comp, will be.
Yeah I saw it linked on another forum I frequent..It kinda sucks to derail the competition like that by leaking the themes but I guess some people can't be patient.
Crappy
Thats a bunch of crap!
How did they get the files???
I am sooo not cool with that! they need to remove them now!
Its not fair to the comp.!
You have to realize, once that site got a hold of them. They can do whatever they please as long as the themers dont have a claimer in their themes stating no one other then so so may post or publicize their themes.
Which we all know, about 80% of these themers didnt have an issue before but might have one now.
I dont know if we can do anything.
But the question is, how they got them in the first place. I thought these weren't distributed for a certain amount of time.
Judges and donors where given the themes prior to public release.
As far as im concerned, One of them, owns that site, or gave that site a link to them, or someone uploaded them somewhere and someone sniffed it out.
I'd imagine they are a judge, or someone who donated, and has acces to the themes allready... google isn't bringing up anything easily at least.... mmmm moon dust is out there somewhere
they are Competition Themes, Get them here and vote
This thread will be locked
i have an issue with it, they didnt ask permission and would actually like to know where it is posted to ask them to take it down
