bad person

I read this and steam came out of all my holes...

The website now says

http://www.iphonethemeforppc.com/install.php

STEP 6 - SlideUnlock (Optional)

In this step you will install the iPhone Slide Unlocker. This version of the SlideUnlock will load up when your phone comes out of sleep just like the iPhone! You can also customize it by changing the backgrounds!

Compatible: QVGA

This is a freeware version of Slide Unlock "S2U2" by A_C. We no longer distribute this software due to the developers request. You can do a search on the internet for this software.

I hope you bring it back. If i was blood sucking lawyer i would go after them. I do however work for a bloodsucking company...lol.

is it me or does the other software look like Ifonze stuff? I think i will send him a msg...showing him the link

iphonethemeforppc.com

These guys are real life scumbags..

@A_C: Sorry about this, your apps are really great, good luck..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oh-mo:
so sad really love your app but hope to see another from you soon :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hazeline:
Dam...

I really hope that people would be more automatic, what is yours, it is yours, doesn't belongs to you, you don't take. It is really shameful if you take to sell others ppl hard work, dirty money you make from selling.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] therealholg:
Hey A_C,

I can understand, that this is a pain in the ass for you and I appreciate your hard work, that you have done here.

I have an idea, and I hope nobody had this before, because I have not read all 14 pages. Mabe you can add a nag screen if S2?? runs on a Device with a new Device ID for the first time. On this screen you can put a message, that if someone paid for this app bundled or not he got ripped off.

So I hope that you suspend the suspension sometime and cheer up. You are the better person, doing some good things for other people.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dlotters:
Just noticed this

Hi A_C,

Just saw this on that website you linked. It's not exactly an apology or anything on their part, but they appear to have removed it now.

It's in their Installation Instructions - http://www.iphonethemeforppc.com/install.php
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] theme freak:
Oh dun stop because of such reason..Please think for the future..lot of people really like your work..I believe 80% of pocketpc users know who is A_C because of your software..think it again :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bodisson:
Aw, A_C, you have my full support (altough it's not much more than moral support).

There are a lot of idiots out there...

I normally don't buy much of commercial software and I stick with freeware as much as I can. However, I do have some licences bought from developers like you.

So if you go commercial, count on me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] clandestino_usr:
Hi A_C, I totally support you in this decision. However I can confirm that the guys at "IphoneThemeforPPC" don't include your software anymore, as shown by this screenshot I just took :
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] snachez:
Hopefully your faith in humanity is not all lost, A_C. This sucks that you have to put up with dirtbags profiting from your generous hard work - but I, and surely along with many others here, hope you don't throw in the towel for ever. Your apps are just too damn cool to give up on.

I've just sent another small AU $20 donation to hopefully brighten your day.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nagrom Nniuq:
Nice work at harrassing them guys. Looks like it made them change their minds ASAP. I came home preparing to hammer them with emails too but it looks like it's all been taken care off.

Woot for the good guys at XDA and A_C. Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flashy:
i'm appauled, sorry to hear it mate, ive always used s2u2 on my PDA, and am going to be cheesed off if this bloke continues!

I highly respect you for providing S2u2 free to begin with, just some muppets take advantage! Sue him if you have copyright in your code.,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] atulhyd:
I am currently not using WM, but still follow the developments on this site. Have been religiously following your work A_C for over 2 years. Please don't stop development due to some greedy idiots. (Really liked the idea of a splash screen - can come up at the time of installation and/or startup)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaVince:
Just put a timebomb code on your app.

Much like what tene does with his PCM.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Binder:
Darned, that just su*ks.

I hope you continue your hard word A_C, we all love your apps, but understand your position.

It's not uncommon for people to sell other's work. Perhaps you could get a lawyer who works on a provision basis, he get's like 30% out of every settlement payment or something.

Anyone know of a lawyer that would do this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DALUEN:
Sad... soo sad

This are realy bad news, I'm loving your apps, hopefully you'll continue your hard and good work soon.

Best regards from Germany,

Daniel
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] absorber786:
@support98: You are an idiot....and I'm sure after reading the last few pages of this thread you the one that will be having concerns..

@A_C: love your work and will continue use whats available. I hope that you decide to continue your dev of these great apps; if not that is also your choice. You can also take comfort from the support recieved from the members of xda...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dinoalbert:
bro that has been mentioned already many times in the previous posts here :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Been without my phone for a few days and just heard about this. This truly sucks. A_C is a beats when it comes to development and his programs are second to none. All ya'll out there trying to make a buck off his hard work know what ya'll can do. I'd get vulgar but I don't want to get banned.

If I may add a sugestion. A_C, as you can see by the sheer number of responses, we don't won't you to stop. Now I know this might be a lot of work and possibly tedious, but how about setting up an email ring? All of us who love your apps could PM you our emails. Gather them all up on some throw away gmail account or something and whenever you have an update to one of your apps, just mass send it out (because your files are never that big so the attachment won't be a problem) and that way you know who has your stuff and know that we won't rob you, which ole boy at the website is.

And if you were to do this, it's on me and anybody else who's in the ring to honor their word and not profit off A_C's hard work.

Again, just a suggestion.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bardia Garsha:
OK boys,

The imposter has now removed A_C's app from his site. I believe now it's time for us to stop talking about (and drawing attention to) this idiot and his cheap website. Do you know why? Well :

- the website of this imposter targets extreme noobs and idiots. (any person with a basic knowledge of ppc software will surely know about main developers' sites (such as XDA) and does not pay money to buy this guy's ****load so-called Iphone_Theme")

- due to our love & support of A_C and his works, the cheap website of an unknown opportunist became the hottest ppc news overnight !!

- how many visits and clicks do you think that cheap website would receive prior to A_C's notification ? 50 ? 100 ? Can you imagine how many thousands of visits and clicks the website has received during the past 2 days ?

If we go on like this, we just buy the precious "traffic" for this rediculous website. I am sure you know that website owners all over the world spend a lot of money to increase the "traffic" of their sites. We are just making this imposter and his stupid website more famous and popular.

@ A_C - hey master, I am quite confident that you know exactly how much we love and appreciate your excellent work. It is very sad (but a reality) that we're living in a world full of **** , a world in which people not only steal but they also murder and commit hideous crimes.

If good and creative guys like yourself tend to lose heart and quit their amazing work because of the dirty opportunistic acts of some cheap charlatans, then the world would surely be a lot uglier than it is now.

So please don't lose heart and keep up the good work.

God bless you

Bardia

I don't get it? Is there any other version of S2U2 than freeware?

And if they have put links to other software (yea, I have taken a look at that crap site too), why they can't put link to XDA thread too? Hurt pride???

That website has to be severly punished for brutality, stupidity, lying and piracy. And finally torn down completly!

They are selling mist! And other people's work. And that copyright notice? How they dare?

I smell blood... ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iDoktor:
Oh no you're the best apps devoloper!!!

I love your apps!!!WE love your apps!!!

:(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Huck33:
not a good news :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spupuz:
that news is more bad than an eventually black hole generated from the cern experiment :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] winghack:
Those are really bad news. I cannot understand the way some people think. I can only say thanks to every app you have developed because if my ppc works like it does is because of you.

Thanks and good luck.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Arlanthir:
Hey, how about you make a registry key / bogus file after the first run? When you ran S2U2 it would check the key/file. If none were found, it would pop-up a little image saying "S2U2 is a free program. If you payed for it please do (...this...)".

You won't have to write notes all around and people will do that instead of you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] evermick:
let's do online petition!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Balrog82:
can't you just sue the guy?

anyway, thx for providing such fine apps. they are so great, I even would pay for them.

THANK YOU!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SkillzLaPoop:
looks like he complied as shown in the previous posts. but what about the other companies?

http://www.web-resort.com/ still sells it and http://www.iphonethemeforpocketpc.com/ still sells it. im going to send them an email as well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] EnsconcE:
Why?

It is shamefull people abuse licenses. To stop people abuse licenses you should send a laywer, not a petition. If they are really abusing a license, a petition won't help.

I hope you start developing soon A_C, i really really love your products.

Power Is Everything

A_C.. Over 150 posts in less than 24hrs and all support for YOU... DUDE do you know how much power you have...? How much people out here support you..? How much people would go out there way to protect you...? Dude your a powerful man in my eyes don't let this BUM play with you buddy.. Come back and ENJOY what you do BEST...!

My final word.....

@support98.....You clearly found away to earn using A_C's apps, PAYUP for your wrong or I for one will cause your Internet site some SERIOUS problems...! Please don't take this as a threat...TAKE IT AS A PROMISS...!:eek:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aa125690:
Bad news, A_C. I'm sorry to hear that some guys sold the freewares...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tester1328:
Don't mix-up the definition in a “FREE”

Hi A_C,

S2-All is great application, S2U2 especially!

You-all must use something like as apple’s lock program to lock your TOUCH phone because TOUCH phone will easy to press/touch some hardware/software button, so that “slide to unlock” concept will let us do not easy to wrong touch any button when it is locked! That “Slide to unlock” concept is not only for apple, now window mobile can do it because A_C, Thanks.

Support98, I want you to know you can buy your theme but your theme(wallpaper?) is displayed on S2U2, so that why people will buy your theme(wallpaper?) because S2U2!! If there is no S2U2, your theme(wallpaper?) will be $0 (nothing)!! Please think about your business, don’t mix-up the definition in a “FREE”
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mlk:
Bottom feeding scum!

Mate, I have crapped better things than yourself - you want to rework it, then do it by stop misrepresenting what you sell & give FULL disclosure about the FREEWARE/DONATIONWARE you are "Selling".

How about doing the right thing and providing a link on the front page of your website to all the developers of "your" add-ons. And offer an apology to all the people you misled!

What you have done is tantamount to stealing and you should be strung up by the most tender parts of your anatomy until you scream for mercy and give your profits to the developers that made your "product" a saleable object.

How about you grow a conscience and some honour and do the right thing! Maybe then we will welcome you back into the human race.

Just had a look at the wonderous rewording - you are such a lovely person to provide the credit to A_C, you know if you read carefully you can see it & better still if you know that Support09 is a bottom feeding scum and is distributing (illegally) another persons work you can work it out too. How about a link for a donation, or a direct link to the XDA Forum with proper credit?

Noticed that iContact has been removed - are we to assume that they were stronger in their requests - get a frip & take a hint, you are lower than worm **** & not welcome here!

A_C: Sue this turd!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] APBilbo:
Hi!

I've PM A_C. May be be can figure out a way to secure everybody's freeware developments...

-- edit: text removed... lets see what suport98 retext's this evening, depending of that I'll include my comments again --

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Anolnx:
Well, terrible new...

But worst are these people that have no respect for the licenses the others give to their project...

A_C had problem with the GPL for S2P, okay, he threw away the GPL part from his programs and respected the will from the other programmer.

Now it's time for the other to respect A_C's will. He want his apps to be free and relased only in one site, 'kay dudes, respect this choice, or threw these apps away and make your own.

I'm a user from these apps (S2U2 and S2P) and am very happy with em. They really improve my user experience, and I'm definitly gratefull for these great apps. Too bad some people are breaking good wills with acting as hyena, trying to eat everything that lies around to steal a pair of tokens...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] djsiva:
iphonethemeforppc

This sh**bag needs to be crucified for what he has done in causing a great developer to become frustrated enough to stop development on his wonderful apps. AC, I agree with some of the other posters in that you should commercialize the S2 series of apps. I personally would buy all three right now. I hope this gets resolved in a manner that makes you and the rest of the XDA crowd happy. F this guy from the iphonetheme website.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nickytheshaft:
damn,

I use all your apps....

shame, shame and shame on these people....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wacky.banana:
Not sure where you see the irony. Most, if not all using custom roms would have automatically bought a licence from Microsoft when buying their original phones if they came pre-installed with Mobile Windows. Therefore I can't see that there is a problem with using a modified rom unless it contravenes Microsoft's intellectual rights or copyright.

MS are well aware of the XDA site and would have been leaning heavily on the administrators and owners if they had a major problem with what goes on here. My understanding is that this is not the case at this time.

Secondly, ROM cookers on here DO NOT offer their rom derivatives for sale. They are free to all but with a request for those who like the modifications to make a donation to the cook for the time spent on implementing those modifications, NOT for the purchase of the ROM itself. Selling off a ROM as your own work is illegal, as far as I am aware.

All of the above is a complete and absolute contrast to what we are dealing with here where A_C is concerned, where an individual is attempting to pass off someone else's work as their own and profit from it at the same time.

From my point of view you cannot relate that activity to ROM cooking on here.

Final point, and with respect; if you are not comfortable with the general environment on XDA, particularly in relation to ROM cooking, then why are you here?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AkshayGenius:
Man, that's not good! I love your apps and they're awesome!! You've worked very hard and I understand your reasoning. But awesome people like you can't just stop and back off because some guy is selling your freeware and hardwork. That would just strengthen them, and that would be our weakness. Listen, there is a community of thousands backing you, and I think we should do all that is in our limits to stop this.

Hope you change your mind.

Akshay
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Hi-Fi:
very bad news.........

support your decision
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] funem:
Simply put something in the code that displays that its freeware, small and unobtrusive, in the code itself not the installer or the licence agreement as they can be bypassed by repackaging the app. That way anyone wanting to sell any code would have to explain to someone how the app they just purchased is displaying a message saying its freeware. As long as it doesn't interfere with the operation of the program I am sure people will not mind.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] philocritus:
damn shame :(

I'm using all of the s2 apps, always did.. because they're essential..

But inocence of some wm users makes some people take advantage of this...

And it's not just in wm cases... This remminds me of jamba.. who sells the "achmed the dead terrorist" video for phones.. shamefull but legal.. as long as the owner doesn't complain..

A_C complained and we should all do the same!

I tottaly respect A_C's decision and I vow for his comeback as soon as possible as all wm users need him, he is by far one, if not the best, wm programmers around.

as for protection A_C could use disclamers, simple keygen for activation, password to activate via mail. I would pay for A_C's apps, cause he deserves it! If it has to be that way...

anyways, Thanks A_C!

Just saw support98's post:

You have to remove the S2P program ASAP. And even the so called bloody "theme" is iFonz. About S2P, that is an essential part of your package and a selling point of your scam. This is illegal, remove all freewares immediately. And only supply the "theme" which you are selling.

This is BS. I can't believe this, does this guy think we actually are THAT dumb??

About the eBay thing, I think sending a request with appropriate documents would disqualify all such items on eBay.

[General Questions and Answers] milkiepie:
Hey so like i have a problem. It\s seems to be to simply impossible to get any drivers to work, i tried everything google drivers, sdk ,drivers that come on phone and drivers from some random websites. Nothing works, tried both w10 and linux ubuntu. On my older pc i had 0 issueas other than simply doing something dumb.

Im out of ideas, help? Also tried with sony z5 premium instead of my nokia 7 plus but same thing -_-

Sidenote:fastboot device from phone drivers kinda works(?) But still im not able to do anything because im stuck on waitig on devices when i want to flash
[General Questions and Answers] :
To manage an Android phone from PC you at least need

1. ADB - provided by Google

2. FastBoot - provided by Google

3. Android-USB-driver provided by OEM/Carrier matching your phone

and nothing else.
[General Questions and Answers] milkiepie:
Have all of those and im stuck on waiting on devices after i reboot to bootloader. Seriously annoying maybe i will try on other pc and see what happens but its not really a solution
[General Questions and Answers] :
If your phone supports Fastboot - take note that not all phones do - then when Fastboot returns "Waiting for device" it's a driver problem: Install correct driver. :)
[General Questions and Answers] milkiepie:
True but as i wrote official drivers don't work it's on the phone after all. Rest doesn't work too then . Heh
