Root White Widow Consolidated Thread

Exactly why are you including non freeware, copyright apps in this package? Still? Specifically after the author of one of them sent a takedown notice to your hosting company?
 
How many ROMS including those from the people reporting you have swype baked in.

This kind of thing could ruin it for everyone. What if we started reporting them.

I am not going to do that because I am not a child. I mean shit. Pull swype. Link it. EVERY. SINGLE COOKED ROM IS A HACK JOB. They need to be aware that this sword can cut both ways. All they are doing is drawing unwanted attention to the whole community. Its time to put it to bed..


Everyone needs to chime in here. Am I the only one who thinks this is rediculous ?

If they are pissed that andrizoid used some code from someone else , I challenge someone to show m a completely original ROM. He tried to put credit for those folks. Didn't help.

Quit reporting people. Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.

And remember , identities are obfuscated here so any one of us could be somebody who is involved in these types of wranglings professionally. Just lay off the guy, build your ROM let him build his.

Please post your opinions. Maybe they will be read and rationality will prevail before everyone starts “getting reported“.

You see someone including this crap, specifically after being called on it. Report them.
 
You are right and andrizoid has tried and tried to clean his out and I'll bet he will even more.

People are being unfair to him.

Colonel Panic, I am just trying to wrap my mind around the notion of "tried to clean his out."

It's either including the wrong stuff or it is not.

Again, I respect the ROM craftsmen a lot, including andrizoid, and I flashed WW 4.1 before I became aware of this issue, n00bie that I am in rooting (it stunk on my device so I covered it with one that works for me).

I will not, however, flash another of his products until I can be certain he is doing more than "trying to clean his out."

To repeat: I cannot see this as a grey area.

Ok how did he try to "clean it out" please explain that. He included apps in his rom, got called on a few of them, took those out, then put different apps in. he didnt clean it out, he swapped it lol.
 
I haven't been on this board for weeks, and he still has stuff that other developers asked to be removed. Respect the copyrights of other's, especially when the items are distributed with a license. No one is being unfair, I tried helping him for weeks but then he went off the deep end.
 
what do i have included that you take offence to?

anything i use in my rom had been included by a ton of other people. nothing is paid.
what non free apps are you talking about jcase?
the swype app was the hacked version provided to me by thenestor.
i have quick boot-included by a ton of people.
handcent-how many customized versions are there floating around out there that nobody cares about?
set cpu was removed and i added overclocking widget instead
i even took your LWP patch off in favor of Darchstar.

nothing is non free jcase.

lol incase you didnt know, swype is a copyright, licensed app. that in itself is enough. so what if its "hacked".

you did try helping me. you and jamezelle were actually the only helping people i could find on team irc.

but your wrong...me go off the deep end? do you not remember frameworks thread? a multi page personal attack. thats what made me "go off the deep end"

and nothing that devs have asked to be removed is included.

set cpu was asked to be removed, i removed it.
swype was just asked to be removed, he said take it out in the newer versions. he was so cool about it he added me to the closed beta.

the other rom devs are making a bigger deal of it than the devs of the apps im supposedly "stealing"

cut me some slack jcase...thats the whole point of 4.4 ~clean~
it removes anythjing that people could take offense to.
 
and technically, according to the swype guy i talked to. ANY one of the swype apps you can find around is pirated, unliscensed and illegal.
unless its downloaded from their site its not allowed.

just an fyi.

I haven't installed any of the apps, but that looks like setCPU to me. WhiteWidow 4.4 not so clean?

I've never seen so much jealousy in my life. 4.4 = clean. Get over it.

Jealousy really? Dude wasn't even respectful to those helping him. Not only did I try helping and supporting him, but I chewed out ppl putting him down.

You tell me how this happens if its clean.

which is why i agreed to take it out of the next release.

this is how my conversation with the gy from sywpe ended

"Your beta account is all set up. You should receive your activation email shortly. Thanks again for being understanding about all this. Keep in touch!"

does that sound like someone who thinks im doing anything wrong?
do you not get it though? just about everything we do could be considered illegal by someone.


stop turning my threads into flame wars.
two can play at the reporting game. keep this up and lets see if you can get banned...thats not necessarily directed at you jcase. your pointing things out and whether or not i agree with them its you opinion,

what i wont allow is stupid comments like this "well no shit sherlock. "illegal" you dont say. wow, who would have thought it. no wonder its copyrighted. so you admit to including illegal products in your rom. way to go. admitting it is the first step. lmao"

You do realize you are arguing over the internet?
For all we know you could be some little 12 year old girl lol
All I'm saying is, Did andrizoid take anything that was yours and claim it as his own? If he didn't grow up, you can report what he stole to the AUTHOR, and then its up to them to decide what to do. I just don't get what you get out of this???

whoa whoa back up here. Please show me when exactly I EVER threw a fit, or better yet even SAID A THING about you reporting him, All I'm saying is why are you personally attacking him if he didn't take anything from you. That's all. I don't even use white widow to be honest I could really care a less. I just am trying to figure out WHY exactly you care so much??
