I know it's Helmi. I didn't want to name names. And I definitely know that if it were not for his work, my phone would be a completely different device, and probably broken from hitting the wall.

I don't know what Jeff did to tweak his kitchen, but I do know this.
1) Using Jeff's version I was able to add more OEM's.
2) Put OEM's that normally did not work well w/ other OEM's I was adding.
3) And, when it was all said and done, I still had more space available.
4) Jeff never claimed it was his. He gave all the credit to everyone else.
Here's the 2nd line of his post- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS - First, I'd like to thank Helmi, Luv2Chill, Colonel, Tiermann and all the others on whose work I've built. This wouldn't be possible without you guys.

It's like when the guy at the liquor store down the street got mad at me for distributing free copies of the pirated movie he sold me.

I appreciate everything he's done for the community.
Yes, I think he's a genius.
Yes, I think Jeff took Helmi's work and tweaked it.
Yes, I think some people in Microsoft's Mobile Team might take offense to "Helmi's" kitchen and profit's from said kitchen.

All that being said. Helmi's awesome. The site's awesome. Donations well deserved, but let's not get into a moral/integrity battle over who's taking who's credit. Jeff simply took a pirated movie and added some artwork and menus to the cover.
