[CLOSED] Vivid ICS Tweaks V2.0

ATTN: I have decided to not post the tweak app at this time. I also haven't been updating the APM/EQS apps & will not do either for the time being. The reason I have decided not to release the app or the other mods, which have vastly improved, is because of the kang 7-zip modders that think they can just rip off anyones work & then post at Root Wiki or another site & that makes it okay. While I did not creat the original mods or tweak app, I collaborated with the original developers & actually took from my free time to learn how to make the mods & port other tweaks to the Vivid. I will probably eventually release the complete mod & tweak package, but for now I will only be developing it further for the WCX rom series since WC was the only dev that replied to my collaboration request & actually has worked on the project with me. There is a rom with all of the mods & tweaks fully functioning & that have all the connection icons fixed & other features added, but it is in final beta right now & whether it gets a thread here to be kanged without permission or credit will be the option of the cook. Again, I am not saying I won't post it, just for now I am going to focus on the WCX Vivid Tweaks Version & other mods for that rom.

Here it comes, This is the first complete release of the Tweaks app for the Vivid/Raider with Generic styling & images. This tweak app includes updated APM, EQS, MMS & Rosie Tweaks/Settings & just about all the tweaks in the Sensation forum LeeDroid Tweaks App by J4n87.

More info to follow with upload tonight or tomorrow.

What a joke.

This thread along with GSLeon/WildChild's attitude toward the android community is so absurdly ridiculous and contradictory to their actions, I can't hold my well supported thoughts on this subject in any longer.

A few issues currently facing our beloved community have arisen to my attention, as well as our dev team's attention. The first is all the so called roms floating around with just TONS of useless init.d scripts that don't even function properly, do anything, and even mess up the /cache partition. This is like going to wal-mart to get more fake chrome "tuner kits" to make your 1980's crx go faster. Spoiler: it won't.

The next issue is how so many people who are modifying closed, licensed code (HTC Roms) in smali, are making a large fuss over other folks using their "tweaks," or "code." YOU ARE NOT HTC. You did not license the code you're modifying, another vendor did. Therefore, it's an obscene gesture to attempt to stop others from using modifications to already compiled vendor smali. It's going to happen no matter what, just as you modified someone else's code, and used it as a base. How many ROM developers (copy/paste kangers) actually thank HTC for the base they use?

One question gsleon, and WildChild: how many characters of original code do you actually have? I'd really love you to count. If you have anywhere over 1/3rd of the number of characters HTC uses to build a vendor overlay alone, you might have a case. Otherwise shut and stop "developing" if this is how you treat it.

TL;DR:.

Oh my God here we go again. :/

With all due respect, because I very much respect you GS, holding this tweaks app back on xda is only going to fragment this community even more. This is just something we don't need.

However, I completely understand your reasoning though. I just hope you can overlook this because there are those of us who very much care and are trying to make this a better place. In the end though, it is entirely your decision to make.

First of all, you are an ignorant foul mouthed idiot that obviously doesn't understand licensing.

Firstly I left the original beta mods there & open for others to use, I just am not updating them myself since people couldn't listen. I could've waited to post anything, but I gave others the benefit of the doubt & posted the beta so others could contribute & try them.

As for the Tweaks app, it is not HTC's. It was taken from 100% source & even built. It would fall under apache if so chosen, however as user side code, it can be denied, sold or whatever myself & the other developers choose. It is 100% code written by xda users & not subject to your moronic opinion.

As for HTC, I actually have contacts there & routinely make suggestions, give praise (when well deserved) & ask questions about developing interfaces such as the Tweak app.

So if you want to modify the code & make a better mod or write your own Tweaks app, then go ahead. Oh wait, you probably are one of those 7z cooks that can't even get a rom to boot yet, let alone create an app using c++ or even basic Eclipse w/ant, IDE...

No, instead you want to take the mods that others take the time to understand & create or enhance & you are so upset because you obviously don't have the capability to learn or you after just too lazy to do so.

As for Roms, I don't cook roms for the public & initially set out on this project to create something that Cooks & devs could use & add to. Very few have added anything & all I asked was that no one used them for a public build until completed. If you are going to use a mod & attribute me in your rom, then I want it to work 100%. People disregarded that on day one, so I stopped updating it publicly.

As for init.d scripts, I personally don't use any, so I don't know what the heck that has to do with anything. Just incoherent babbling as far as I can tell.

Know I am starting to understand why the devs that left xda are so back & forth about returning. Because of people like you. So go pound sand.

This thread is also my opinion & has nothing to do with WC aside from the fact that he actually participated in the development & progression of the mods & tweaks.
