What do you expect if you post such a negative comment? Just because I'm a mod, I still have an opinion.
ok well lets see... someone posted a ldr installer that i wrote somewhere... if your ldr installer has features that are the same as what mine has your going to get the same response... you took my ideas and my code. i highly doubt you can do it tho everything is encrypted reflector becomes useless so have fun with that one... anyways last link in my sig should direct you to it...
ROFL! You have nothing to say about everything that I posted in your thread, so you have to post more BS in here...ROFL! Omdhar, you should learn to quit while you are ahead...you keep messing with me and I will post your source for everyone to see how horribly it is coded... You are a hack. You cant even code, and it is painfully obvious from looking at your source. So let's go through your assertions, one at a time...: (1) Omdhar took source code of Nononsence so does later by Hotcarl. --> Yes, you took his source and didnt even bother to credit him or say thanks until I got on your case. Flip back through the posts in your thread and you will see if you cannot remember a few months back. I used Nononsence's original source and credited him the whole time. I even gave him credit as a co-author (instead of putting "Powered by HotCarl" on the thing and making everyone think I wrote it...) You did a similar thing with zsmin...you asked him to create a custom GRLDR file for you, then you asked him to make it say "Powered by Omdhar" so it could look like you made it. You have a lot of nerve! (2) Omdhar tried to mod look and make user freindly ldr so does later by Hotcarl. --> And your point is? So because you took a source that Nononsence wrote, and tried to steal it for your own (and put your name on it without giving him ANY credit until I mentioned it)...that means that no one else can use it? ROFL... OK...that makes no sense. I saw how sh!tty your program was and I thought to myself, how can someone take a loader program that is aready open source and hack it up so bad that it barely resembles it's former self. You bastardized Nononsence's code and your program makes people less safe... So I wanted to see if I could make a *proper* mod of Nonsence's O7A and do things right. (3) Omdhar added user adding themselves OEM info so does later by hotcarl. --> There are so many programs and activators that do this...next you will be saying that I stole the idea of using combo boxes to set the product key and SLIC/Certificate... ROFL! You are full of sh!t. (4) Omdhar added token backup and restore for user so does later by hotcarl. --> Again, there are literally so many programs and activators that do this... So PAYMYRENT must have copied you as well eh? You make yourself look stupid. What, are you going to say next that you invented the internet? ROFL!!! (5) Omdhar renamed BiOS mod to cert & key install only option so does later by hotcarl. --> I renamed it because I changed the way my program loads. If you thing I renamed my checkbox from "I have a modded BIOS" to "Install Key and Cert only" because of you then you are sorely mistaken...and you would have to be high to think of a stupid thing like that. Why the heck would I copy the name of a combo box just because you had it. OMG, it is like I am dealing with an attention-seeking child here. (6) Omdhar added automated install selection based on slic info so does later by hotcarl. --> ROFL. Is that what you call it? You removed options from your UI depending on whether MasterDisaster's code detected SLIC 2.1 or not (which is a horrible idea because what if the code does not detect things right like freeman shows above...). Your program does nothing automatically, it cant even decide whether to use a GUID on its own. Your program is coded so sloppy, and it is apparent you do not know what you are doing...I am surprised anything works! My program automatically does it as well...ROFL. I added the button in case the user is an advanced user and is comfortabe tweaking their system without using O7A. That way the user can click the button to re-check activation if they are unsure if they did anything that messed up their activation. I dont add useless options like you do. You have options on your UI that are unneeded, or are things that are done automatically in other, properly coded, programs... WTF do you mean by this crap? Here we go again... (1) I added the "Processor model,speed or product ID" to give the user more info about the system because not everyone just activates their system. I use my program on my friend's PC's, so it is nice to see all that information readily available when I run my app on other people's PC's...especially for debugging purposes. Remember, I am making this program for myself to use as well when needed. (2) I added an external keys.ini file for the benefit of the user (as I noticed that people liked having an external file that they could edit and add custom keys to). I am sure if you could figure out how to add an external keys file then you would, but obviously dont know what you are doing...so unless you rip the keys.ini code from someone else, there will never be a external keys file in your sloppy program. (3) I added a custom key checker to my program because it is useful to be able to check a product key in the same app that you are installing it in. People can enter a custom product key and check it to ensure it is valid. My program even tells the user if the key will be genuine when installed on their system. I fail to see how something like that is a useless option, like you claim. It's not like I go adding stuff to my UI (like the GUID path option...ROFL!) that is totally useless to the user (like you do...) (4) I added a SLIC/Cert dump because I felt it would add value to my tool. I only add things that will add value to the end user. Again, if you thing that these are pointless options then why do thousands of people download my program every time I release a new version? I get thanks all the time in every forum I post my program in for all the work I have done, and for all the useful options that I have added. I set out to make O7A an activation toolkit (as it says on my OP), so if there is something that I can add to O7A that will make the end user's life a little simpler (whether they are an expert or novice user) then I will do it. (5) I log errors so I can see the output and fix the errors! I know you dont care about errors in your program, or how to track them down...but I do. I want it so if a user has a problem, or something does not work right, the user can just send me a copy of their error log and I can figure out instantly (usually) where the problem occurred so I can fix it. If I didnt care about the users of my program then I wouldnt bother to log errors... I never log any personal information (like product keys), or anything that can individually identify anyone's system. I take great care in maintaining user's privacy when it comes to error logging. I know you dont care about actually providing a program that people will find useful, and that you can fix if anything is wrong with it. You are clearly more concerned about getting your name out there with your attention-seeking, childish behavior...and it is also evident from looking at your source and how you put more effort into making it hard for someone to remove your precious "Powered by Omdhar" than any other code you "wrote" in there. If you continue to throw BS my way, then I will let you have it. I have been purposefully trying to not get mean with my replies to you, but you make it very hard sometimes... And it pisses me off that there are people like mysef and Daz and PAYMYRENT and Hazar (amongst many others!) trying to do things that help people...and all you are concerned about is yourself and how much attention you are getting. You even make another account just to thank yourself in your thread so it can look like people are using your program... You are a joke, and if I were you I would quit while you are not too far behind. I really have no wish to keep dragging you through the mud...
@PAYMYRENT: lol! BTW, thanks freeman. I got caught up in more of Omdhar's bs, so I forgot to thank you for the bug report. That is crazy that O7A is not detecting the SLIC correctly on your PC. Do you have a loader installed for the SLIC 2.1 (and a BIOS with SLIC 2.0 in it)? It is crazy because the code I use enumerates the firmware tables in memory and parses them to find whether you have SLIC 2.0 or 2.1. There must be something in the code that is not working correctly on all systems. It works fine in all of my testing. I will definitely look into that. Thank you for the bug report and pictures!
Ok, I just had to ask so I could somewhat determine where the error is originating from. I know that Dells are shakey sometimes when it comes to matters with SLIC and activation. I will definitely look into it and see what I can do. Thank you very much for taking the time to post those pictures and the bug report. It is very much appreciated!
Just like to say a huge thank you to Hotcarl and all the other contributors. I used the activator on my unbranded PC, just clicked once on ACER and all has worked perfectly so far. What impressed me was the neat appearance of the screen and the help files. Even more surprising is to hear Hotcarl talking about going back to school. I think we might have another Shawn Fanning or Jon Lech Johansen. These young people literally changed the world for millions of people. This would surely look good on a CV for a top job at Google or even Microsoft. What will be interesting is to see what happens if the free Google OS is any good. I now use Chrome 99% of the time and all the Microsoft search tools are rubbish compared to Google. I wish Microsoft would just make an OS without all the crap like media player, or at least allow more bits to be removed easily.
Thank you very much for the kind words! Just FYI, I am in college, so I am not that young but thank you for the compliments. That is great that O7A is working as intended, and was able to pick the best settings based on the state of your Windows just prior to activation. I am happy to hear that you are activated and O7A worked well for you I am currently working on the next version and have added a couple things, but nothing major yet...havent had the time I did add support for the removal of random loaders though when clicking the [Uninstall Loader File Only] button in the "Advanced Options" window (instead of just disabling the randomly named loader)... I will probably end up adding the randomly named loader removal code to the [Uninstall] button on the main O7A window as well, because if I were to click [Uninstall] when running O7A I would expect it to remove everything (remove any random named loaders, normal "grldr" loaders, and if bootmgr has been modified replace it with the original) and put Windows back to how it was before a loader was installed... (e.g.: "uninstalling" basically entails removing all loader files and installing a trial key) I have some more stuff I am doing, that is just what I am messing with right now ...but I will get into that later when I release the next version (hopefully I have the time to do everything I want to do ).
It is still a slic inserter, so I doubt it is 100%, but probably closer than a loader, which is probably about 85%.
you can use a watermark remover during install and sfc /scanfile during uninstall lol i was thinking about doing that for my app maybe you could help me?
Yeah I know the disadvantage of TESTMODE but only the x64 version of windows is affected. And there is also the option PAYMYRENT mentioned... EDIT: does anyone know how "atsiv" works in detail? I mean this tool is able to load unsigned drivers into the kernel...
Yeah, the watermark remover just modifies the registry (I think, if I recall correctly what it does) so it should not be a big deal to modify the registry to not show the watermark when the driver is installed, then if the driver is uninstalled put the reg settings back to normal... Hopefully I can have some time to look into that soon, when I am done re-doing the stuff in O7A that I need to. I cant really do anything today unfortunately, I need to work on school stuff... :-/
