[Windows Mobile Software Development] morpheus1982:
You actually just made me LOL in the middle of the office. Your rant was just ridiculous, and clearly your ego has been hurt.

My numbered list was never supposed to be a direct response to antaed's list. He has his points and I had mine. It is a simple matter of formatting.

As stated previously, to Antaed's (who I assume has nothing to do with your development), I posted in ANNOYANCE, and if I could have actually deleted the post, I would have straight away. Seeing as Antaed's isn't the developer, I would have probably expected a flaming response from you, which as expected is far more intelligent, and structured than the former.

Now let me response to your list in the fashion you require:

2.1- You should DEFINATELY expect the possibility of requiring a hard-reset when the fact is stated MULTIPLE times in the instructional document AND when running the program itself. It is written in big, shiny, red, underlined letters to catch the attention of the slightly mentally challenged. You are even required to tap a button on your device to confirm you understand and accept the risk. - So you are calling me and everyone else interesting in your developments mentally challenged? Simple put that is rude. If is one thing to complain about and resulting impact of your development, and another to insult a complete stranger. I am certain that if this discussion took place in person, you would have chosen your words carefully.

2.2- Your version of Sense UI has nothing to do with the shell hack required for the transparency effect. - I didnt say it did.

2.3- At no time have I stated ANY OS version that I tested successfully, only those that users have reported to have worked. - Simple misunderstanding, but you did state the Manila version. From your requirements list: "HTC Sense 2.5.2012 (only build I have tested so far, If you have success with other Sense UI builds please let me know so I can update this statement)"...

3- You already said that, and I already said it might happen. - I said that once. Where are you seeing the repetition?

4- Wether or not your backup solution ("program", if "solution" was too confusing of a word) was succesful, or if you had been competant enough to correctly utilize it, is your problem. I am not developing a backup application here, perhaps you should find the person who is developing yours and complain to them. - Once again, rude. I use SPB Backup. Do you have any views on that particular solution, except that it does what it supposed to, and is easy to use?

5.1- You did not post in "annoyance", you posted in ignorance. - Don't tell me how I posted, you are not in my head.

5.2- I don't care if you appreciate this or any other tweak, there is no excuse for posting childish rants in a civilized thread. - You do care, dont lie. If you didnt care, you wouldnt have bothered to respond.

5.3- You may have followed the instructions but you obviously did not understand or consider the risks.

5.4- Your phone did turn on, it simply failed to boot, which I warned may happen.

And now for a numbered list of my own...

Please educate yourself as to the meaning of the term "bricked" when refering to Windows Mobile devices. (and many other mobile electronics for that matter) - Is there a Wiki entry I can refer to...? If a phone doesnt power-up or doesnt go past the boot-screen, in either scenario, it is pretty useless until it can be addressed.

Please understand I will be very reluctant to assist you in resolving any issue you might have with my contributions in the future. A lenghty heart-felt apology may sway my decision... but probably not by much. - As you can probably gather, I will not be grovelling to you for help. What I will do is try again, and if I experience issues, I will report them accordingly. If you wish to act on the findings, that is totally up to you.

Please keep your drivel away from my thread. - I may have just added some more "drivel", sorry!

Considering the fact that your experience may have tought you the valuable lesson; "pay close attention to a developers instructions before you put something on your device, and don't play with big boy hacks if you can't hold back the tears", then ...

YOU ARE VERY WELCOME!!

. - So are you a "big boy" or a "grown man"? If I get this working, I will indeed say thank you.
​

Now I have no wish to continue this conversation beyond this point, so as stated above, I will try again.

Thanks.
