[Q] Copyright and properties rules - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I would like to know about continuing somebody's work that he/she has been discontinued developing. It is about an icons which the dev provided the template. He/she just made about 50 - 200 icons only then stop developing.
Now im going to continue for more icons since there's too many apps keep coming. Well, if i do this, and post it on xda with credits to real dev, is this gonna be wrong? I wanna share my work with xda members but Im scared if the dev going to screw my ass. Any advise would be higly appreciated.
Thanks

if you have the email of the person who has made the icons then ask for permission first.if you know their xda nickname which of course you do then just send them a private message. if they reply that is good and then just give credits and links to their work.
depends if you open a thread up to you still put credits out and give links to the original work made by the dev/themer...but try the first bit though and if you do not hear anything i still go with the second and say you tried getting intouch but not heard anything and still give credit were credit is due and say that cause you like the work you felt it would be credit to the original dev only to continue the amazing work started by them...hope that helps

Very reasonable and the best in my thoughts so. Thanks man.. Yeah, i still haven't send email or try to get in touch with the real dev yet, but i will.. to make sure everything is clear before i make any move.
This is coz I've saw a little 'fight' here on xda, a real dev claimed his/her works has been copied by someone. That's irritating. I wont do anything stupid and i dont know much about copyright procedure or whatever it called, so i have to ask for guide.
Thanks so much buddy for the advises, i highly appreciated. Thanks again. Have a nice day, cheers.

No problem my friend glad i was able to help. Always cover your back if you are going to release something. Best way really. Give credits were credits are due, give a link to the thread of the things that you are using and give the appropriate info and that should be it really. But anyway follow the stuff i told you above and you should be fine.
Have a good day yourself my friend.

Well first.. No need to TYPE LIKE THIS, it is really annoying and hard to read.
Second "Ive asked Eugene and Barak on twitter and thier forums...no answer...Must not want my donation money" that is a bold statement, doing the port wasn't about who wanted some money... If it was that easy to do, it would of been done. You guys don't understand how hard it is to do some of the stuff, we had it booting & we ran into a few major issues like no signal (We just needed to replace some drivers) and it was just lagging to hell.... I wen't into the chat about a week ago after having my own stuff to do & it was basically deserted.
And to that person who donated $50 to the project, I would contact Whosdaman about that because he was the one who got all the donations I believe... If you wanted.

Kernel Source Code - Everyone Help

Guys I know this has been posted before but I couldn't find the post as it has been buried.
We all need to be posting on this thread as much as possible, friends, family, co-workers, anyone you can talk into posting get them to do it. This needs to happen now, personally I don't think they feel the much pressure. I do however feel that we are close to seeing a result. So please, if you own a Photon, if you know someone who does, if you give one smidgen of anything about the Photon help us out here and post. Post as much as you can post, obviously don't spam them, but let them feel our presence.
Thanks to anyone that helps out!

True, but this is only my second venture (Evo and Photon) in the Android area. At my old job with the Evo, there were 6 other in IT that had them so I would follow the lead of them. Here with Photon, I am alone and the language is new to me. It's all good. Again, thanks from all of us!
Just sent $25 your way Joker. Thanks for the 4g skinny. Should be enough to get you a decent IPA somewhere.
Oh damm, we finally started something here useful!

You have to make a Donation to XDA. Look at main Portal.
EDIT: Keep in mind, this is different from making donations to developers for their work. People like Joker have their own lives, jobs, and familys. So the s**t they do here they take out of their own personal lives then share it with us for free, weather you get them money or not.

So far, this forum is the friendliest I have seen, so welcome. Like others have mentioned, there is an Alpha build of CWM available, but as of right now, flashing anything triggers the flash counter, which can prevent you from utilizing your warranty for an exchange. If you are worried about having to return your Note for some reason right now, I would wait until we have a workaround for the flash counter. If not, we have the TPC ROM and DaG's OC/UV kernel that are both stable and will get rid of the problems with the stock ROM.
As with any ROM or development, don't ask for ETA's in the future. Seeing as you are new to this, nobody will be mad, but continued pestering will drive devs away and get people very upset. Now that you know, I'm sure you won't be a problem. haha. Also, with CyanogenMod, asking for ETA's is even more frowned upon usually. You're fine though, no worries. And as I said before, welcome.
On the Infuse forums, we had several devs driven away by people pestering devs for ETAs, asking unnecessary and repetitive questions without reading, and constant bickering and fighting in the forums that just cluttered threads with useless bullcrap. I hope that our forum stays clear of the level of asshattery that occurred there, but if you do your part to stay clear of it, then we will all be able to work together and have a great community.
Just to make clear, I'm not ragging you at all for asking, as you are new, just making some friendly suggestions to keep you and all of us happy from here on out. I wish everybody was as friendly and accepting as you. Haha.

I decided to make a post as I was having a flood of people requesting help so..........
1) I don't mind helping people, I love helping but please understand I have things I need to do
2) I am really good at helping people, As there are many roms, tweaks, settings, I cannot know everything about every rom, tweak and settings
3) I only help over Gtalk, Its quicker and it saves space on the XDA servers.
4)My Gtalk status is a good indication whether I am able to help.
5)My Gtalk is [email protected]
I am happy to help out as much as I can. If its something that might take awhile, let me know. We can plan a certain time to do it.
That is all, I am ending my rant now.

Look, this is not what I meant by posting this thread. I can't in good faith just let anyone start giving help to other. I had a similar case a while back where someone else told the person to relock the bootloader and he had an eng Hboot. I am sorry, this is not meant to be a sign up list or anything like that. I have interacted with dyetheskin before and have seen his abilities. I am asking that people please not post here unless it is a request for help or you have a quick question.

You could make it the people you trust and other people would need to be qualified like a recognized contributor or something. I understand what you mean when you say it can be dangerous but I really think with the right people that having a group or list of people you can contact for help would really benefit the rezound community and maybe inspire other device communities to do the same.
