Gone? RIP?

Chainfire banned Dinik for a couple of days, that´s it. If Dinik will be "gone" will be his own decision.

I am actually quite astonished to see that some people don´t seem to understand what was and is going on.

It is the forum moderators and admins who make the rules, nobody else.

While I think Dinik´s work brought some fresh new ideas to the whole Sense modding, some aspects are questionable. I actually stopped using his work, as I felt he made statements which feel like written by some Apple PR guys:

"The greatest (put what you want here) ever, brand new and unique."

Yeah, just like Apple re-inventing the wheel again and again.

I think frequent forum visitors will know that Chainfire is indeed a legend here (and probably some other places, too). In a positive way - no need to mention that. Just check dozens, if not hundreds, ROMs with CFC´d Manila, Turbo 3D drivers, and more. Great work. And free, if you like.

Life goes on. Enjoy your devices with those things you already have from Dinik. And as soon as he comes back, you get even more of his work. If not, just continue using what is existing.

@tictac0566

Yes, you have right, its a warning measurement. He is band fore 3 days.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HushH:
I really enjoyed Dinik's work and hope he chooses to return. I won't take sides in the banning debate, but it does seem like the punishment should have been the same for both parties involved.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Marcdu81:
Hello,it's a good thing for everybody , he cries all the times and gives a lot of work to moderators, if all creators,developers did the same thing,xda no longer exist .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
OH NO!

I´m not glad about how far it is gone now! But in my opinion i think Dinik will not come Back after the 3 days!

Update from other members

Thank you for the update guys, I had made brief contact with Chainfire before posting and was, at the time, unaware of the banning severity.

I have modified the title and first post as appropriate and will continue if further updates emerge.

This thread was started simply as a location point to capture any questions and conversation about the events, which I hope it is doing acceptably.

My post is intended to be neutral as I am unbiased in the argument and decision, however I do feel the constant arguments, bickering, rules (and rule breaking), and negativity was distracting from the great works and detrimental the forum community spirit in general.

Dinik being a high profile member, would not have gone unmissed for long before questions were asked, so this thread was created. Perhaps a mod can be kind enough to answer any questions other members may have about the decision and rules that lead to it.

Many thanks,

Hirshy

That's it. Thanks, Tictac.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
First of all, I don't use any of the graphical enhancements by the parties in dispute.

In my opinion the decision to temp ban Dinik was a poor call.

In my view the mods took the easy choice in banning Dinik as he was actively trying to defend/protect his work. Silencing him was easier than trying to end the conflict between the parties involved.

If anything most who were involved in the dispute should have been banned, not just Dinik.

However, let's not blow this out of proportion. There isn't anything on XDA graphically wise that can't be duplicated very easily (even with my limited skills ;)), so I'm surprised this sort of problem doesn't occur all the time :).

If you don't want your work to be distributed/duplicated or inspire further development then don't post on XDA, it's as simple as that but I do hope Dinik does return to XDA as his contribution to the community is considerable.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] JonnieLasVegas:
Hope he returns, because honestly after finding this site, he's the main reason I continue to frequent & enjoy this site. No disrespect to other hardworking devs, I appreciate what all you guys do for us.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ahirshfield:
<cough> No ripping rule? <cough> Did Dinik realize where he was posting his Rom?!

Just one thing to consider here please (in my personal and humble opinion).

Let me prefix this by saying that I've only ever used Dinik’s keyboard and it is a very nice skin. Actually it is a regret that this all kicked off just as he was about to release a wicked new version of the keyboard:(. I hope he still does, sparse glass parts can be beautiful:cool:. On the other hand, the icons and all-over glass are just not my cup-of-tea. To me, I feel the icon images are overwhelmed by the constant borders and large margins around the images. And the glass reflection layer covering the actual icon image can be distracting from the main focus of the icon. But obviously many, many people do like them, so it is all just personal taste. ;)

That said, here is my single point regarding Dinik’s rules, the ongoing saga and many, many arguments occurring throughout the forums:

Without this community (the same community that may have also downloaded, tweaked, changed or even re-distributed his icons, template and related themes so many times) ripping works out of roms (EXT packages, XIP/SYS, drivers, applications, etc), there would be no custom ROMs (Miri or otherwise) for his theme to exist in.

The original/stock roms are, for all intent and purposes, the REAL intellectual property of genuine Artistic and Development giants like HTC and Microsoft. They have had the good fortune to recognize XDA as the great resource that it is; and, despite their actual copyrights, legalities and ownership of code & graphics, made the fortunate judgement to allow all the XDA ripping and modding to continue.

If HTC or MS decided that all new development branches and leaked WinMob builds, were exclusively their property and not to be posted elsewhere; and that roms & applications from a particular device where to be 'Exclusive' to only that model device - what would happen to you, me and this whole community?!

Perhaps Dinik’s distribution rules and tactics should have taken a lesson from that example?...

All the best with with whatever you decides to do in the future Dinik, and I do thank you again for all the effort and hard work you provide(d) into this community.

u would think he's the only one that can invent glass icons¡¡¡¡

he just went too far and if he don't come back its his lost

XDA was here before him and will be here long after him.

Chaps,

I am going to close this as speculation about a banned member is both unhelpful and counter productive.

Thanks.

Hey, I've searched a bit but with no luck. Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere. I want to actually change the PRL like I used to on 2.1 roms using EPST by dialing ##778 or ##775, then selecting Edit Mode I've tried all the number codes I can think of. Anyone have an idea on this? If I'm just missing it while searching just post a link to where I can find it. Thanks!

[Captivate General] ewingr:
I am finding my Menu button to not work when at teh default home screen, intermittently. Sometimes it doesn't work more than it does.

I thought maybe it was due to Launcher. I did a restore from one a couple back, and it was working again.

I've been working with TASKER a lot, and wonder if that could be affecting it.

I tried an uninstall of Tasker and that didn't help. Only the restore helped. But as noted, its back again.

I also had the volumne button not work earlier.

Maybe its a hardware problem.

Anyone else having this?
[Captivate General] iLoki:
when I am at my default home screen my home button doesn't do anything, except vibrate. Though, I am using LauncherPro atm. The home button also doesn't do anything on my home screen in TouchWiz either...

It never did, I never thought it was supposed to do anything other than return you to the default homepage when you were away from it on the launcher.
[Captivate General] ewingr:
It is the MENU button I am having problem with, not the HOME button.

The home button single click will take you to your default home screen. (I think it is changeable what it does in Launcher Pro).

I have about decided my problem is from teh latest version of Launcher Pro. I have restored to a previous version, and no problems at the moment. I actually have done this a couple times: Restored to old, worked OK, reinstalled latest, worked OK for a while and started acting up again.
[Captivate General] SiL3nTKiLL:
this happened to my friend, after a stock reflash it worked fine...but ive read some people have to switch out their phones...
[Captivate General] ewingr:
Hmmm...not sure what to do. My 30 days is up this weekend.

I am frustrated about the GPS stuff, and considering, albeit just barely, taking it back until that is resolved.

But maybe I should at least do an exchange. If I reflash and the button works (which it is working right now...I am on an older version of Launcher), then i'd have to use the GPS concerns to take it back.

Let's see: Keep it; exchange it; return it.

Decisions decisions...:rolleyes:
[Captivate General] acmcelwee:
I think it's the latest version of Launcher Pro that's the issue as well. I'm seeing the same exact behavior as you, and the easiest way to resolve it for me is to swipe over to a different home screen, THEN the menu button will work again for a while. I'm getting the haptic feedback when I press the menu button, but no menu popup, so it leads me to believe we're not having a hardware issue, but rather a strange bug with the latest Launcher Pro version.
[Captivate General] cfili:
Having the same issue after I installed the latest version of launcher pro. I am pretty confident that launcher pro is to blame here and not the phone hardware itself.
[Captivate General] ewingr:
Someone needs to go to their forum and notify them of this problem. I don't have a userID over there.

I may try to get one set up.

I'm just pretty sure now that it is Launcher Pro. Lecmmada describes the symptoms the same as mine. If I use switcher, and switch to TouchWiz, it works fine.

[EDIT]

I registered and left a note in their bug section, and referenced this thread.

[XPERIA X10 General] Slvrback:
Funny one this, got my x10 last week, I can do everything, call, text, browse the net, download stuff off th market, only thing is, in the phonebook it says my number: sim card not recognised? ? ?

Any ideas? ?
[XPERIA X10 General] Slvrback:
Sorry it says sim card unavailable, not sim card not recognised
[XPERIA X10 General] MxCraft:
Your SIM car doesn't know your phone number. Just borrow a normal phone (not a smartphone), insert your SIM card and then go to the phonebook, and modify the special numbers. You have to specify your phone number there. When you will insert your SIM card in your X10, you will see your phone number instead of the weird message.
[XPERIA X10 General] Slvrback:
No, didnt work
[XPERIA X10 General] MxCraft:
Weird. It worked for me.

Try this :

from phonebook > MENU key > More > Import contacts > import from Sim card
[XPERIA X10 General] Slvrback:
No, i've imported my contacts but above the contacts where is says my mobile number, it just says sim card unavailable

Hi everybody!

I just looove my Xperia. I love every detail of its software. The startup screen is wonderful, but I was wondering if I could add some sound to it?!?

Anybody 'got any idea how to do this?
[XPERIA X10 General] devilleather:
Yea just make a custom rom:D
[XPERIA X10 General] ykolin:
lol never been easier :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

otherwise u might play with rom files and configuration, and if you are lucky then u can not only set custom music but u can load any pic youd like :D

if you get it done, let us know ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] FateZero:
I thought about working on a custom sound, but the x10 does not use the standard 1.6 boot loading for the images and not quite the bootloader.zip that 2xx plus use so its kind of off. I might look into when i have more time.
[XPERIA X10 General] mymagicmyhero:
You don't need a custom ROM to change your bootscreen.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Oh? But you need to root your phone? Because mine right now is just bs... (I haven't rooted my phone)
[XPERIA X10 General] mymagicmyhero:
Mine's already rooted and debranded. i was looking for the directory of the boot things. They're in a completely different directory and there is no sound file there. Even a blank one. I tried to put one there and rename it prerly, but nothing happened. It looks like the phone itself is set to not recognize sound files when booting up.

I am looking through my contacts list and I am noticing several of my contacts have several links to their same facebook profile. Since they are Facebook, I am unable to delete them. How can you have several Facebook links to the same Facebook profile? If I unlink them then I have separate entries in contacts.
[Captivate General] mterrence5:
Did you just download the upgrade to facebook? I had mine working fine and then I downloaded the upgrade which was suppose to fix issue with the syncing timing out. Then suddenly I had 9 facebook contacts for each person it was sync'd too
[Captivate General] homegeek:
Yes I do have the updated version.
[Captivate General] typ44q:
I had the same problem, what I did was unlink both facebook accounts from my contacts, which removed everything facebook related and then just added 1 back.
[Captivate General] dungbeetle:
That was my solution as well, but I'm not relishing the prospect of doing that for every facebook contact I have. Anyone come up with a quicker fix yet?
[Captivate General] naplesbill:
What he means is to remove the facebook accounts completely from the menu, settings, accounts screen.

Then when you add one back be sure to use the top one that is listed under "Integrated contact accounts." The sync from the new version of facebook does not work properly on our phones for some reason.
[Captivate General] slombar:
Same problem- removing facebook account doesnt remove links

Each contact of mine has 4 "unknown" links that seem to be facebook links. I cant seem to find a way around manually deleting each link one by one. I removed the facebook sync accounts and the facebook contacts still show up and the duplicates are still there. Also when I try to go to display options it says "sim initializing" and stays there. Only if I take out my SIM card and replace it can I access the display options Advice? This also caused my phone to run out of database memory and slow it down alot.
