[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GSLEON3:
Firstly, a dictator would have closed the Vivid section awhile ago just to make a point. There is no respect here at all (seems that way at least).

As for the mods, I never said I hand made them. Those were Jan's mods & he was working with us on making a new tweaks app specifically for the Vivid.

What I wrote was an application that was much like Jan's LeeDroid tweaks, but I added several clock animation & othe tweaks that could be selected that was specifically for the Vivid, not a port of the Sensation or Evo app. That app was never released & I closed the thread because of all the disrespect.

The mods themselves were not created by me, nor by jan & have been around in different forms for a long time & are just restyled & reformatted versions of HTC's code. I only asked they not be used until everything was completed, the exact same thing you see in the other tweaks & mods released for Sensation, Evo, Rezound, etc... That is the general rule since, starting with LeeDroid, the Cook that helps or works on the project, gets first honors. Unfortunately, others decided to ignore the request, so I stopped updating. The request to wait was not even mine alone. It was requested by all parties envolved, including the original creator.

As for my Vivid Tweaks app, I am looking into releasing it in the Android market but there are a few licensing issues I had to deal with first due to the fact that they required some of HTC resource files. As such, I made my own icons & am working on implementing it with a secondary framework source to get around Apache. This decision was not made solely on the Vivid forum though, the disrespect & childish behavior is running rampant in many forums. While I do love the Vivid & will continue to use it, most of my efforts will be switching very soon to the One X.

Another thing, every dev that left the Vivid forum did so because they said they were tired of the complaining & disrespect of other users. Not one said they left because of a moderator. I tried to talk them into staying involved at xda, but most were adamant about leaving. Nobody, all those months later had released a working APM or EQS mod, so I did. A small part of what I had planned. However, after doing so, I can say that I fully understand why they left. It is just sad. Either disrespect, a since of entitlement & rudeness have a direct correlation to the amount of time a person spends online, or there are now more kids with attitudes than developers at xda nowadays.

Other cooks have used the mods, but I don't care anymore. You say you made the "mistake", but I wrote exactly what I expected very clearly & politely in the post & even explained why. Yet even then when I was ignored, I didn't ban anyone over them in the Vivid forum or close anyone's thread. I just was shown that no one is going to respect requests.

But I will not tolerate disrespect, flaming post, slander or profanity. All users agreed to hold themselves to a certain level of maturity & ethics when they registered. So, if you break the rules & get caught, there are consequences.

As for comments about 7zip cooks, I mentioned no names, so it's not really an issue. You chose to take offense. Plus you are right, the mods are no big deal, that's why I left them up. I figure any cook can make the fixes, especially since it's no big deal.

Why you are trying to make this personal, calling me a dictator, lol... Well that's just funny. Dictator, no, just the only guy that was willing to give up his free time to try & save the Vivid forum, which was stale & falling apart.

If people like your work, good for you & them. Keep sharing. That is your choice. I really don't care what you do or say as long as you aren't going out of your way to break multiple rules & being disrespectful or posting straight out lies.

Now you said, "you wanted to ask a question with me", but unfortunately I didn't see any questions, nor question marks, so I am not certain what else I can answer.
