I see loads of potential for this app!

But in my country? Na. People think the online world ends at YouTube and Facebook.

Anonymous chat rooms remind me of mIRC and the likes... And those were fun!

Hey Dev,

I see we van enter (and change) our username...and I see a trip code is supposed to be unique.

But so are our usernames!

What's the difference between them, in simple worlds?

I think right now, this could be used for chatting with other XDA members cause they're probably the only ones online haha

Another question: does the app use Google's push messaging service? I don't know how much drain the app causes, but just curious.

[Android Apps and Games] Oscar-Mark:
The username can easily be copied and since it's anonymous, while the trip code is harder to copy since it displays a different code.

Suggestion:

Some limitation on the length of usernames would be kinda good, it have just gotten spammy.
[Android Apps and Games] Jeffail:
Ahahaha, I tend to over do it when warning people.

Version 43 is about to go out which fixes this (max length of usernames will be 20 characters), it's also coming with some new translations, thanks for the heads up!
[Android Apps and Games] Jeffail:
I've also just uploaded version 44, so you probably won't even see 43 :P

Version 44 has the ability to block other users. It does both username and trip code, you can reset the block list at any time. It's meant to be a temporary and fast way of blocking, since it's anonymous and kind of hard to have a working long term block. Let me know what you guys think of this (it's limited visually as it doesn't show the actual list to you in the interface yet.)

[Android Apps and Games] Questioned:
Suggestion: we can send private messages to users and keep the screen on while in app.
[Android Apps and Games] Jeffail:
Private messaging has been considered. It's possible, as in you could send a message to a particular trip coded user. Then that message gets stored on the server until the user with that trip requests it. But you'd have to be aware that the target isn't necessarily going to be the person receiving it. This is because an anonymous, account-less chat client has no way of formally identifying a specific user.

My main issue with private messaging isn't the technical methodology, it is easily doable, but I'd be concerned that users would be falsely lead into a sense of security, that those messages are really private, when in fact you couldn't guarantee it even if it's an extremely low chance of being intercepted by someone else.
[Android Apps and Games] aeoveu:
Wait, if the purpose of the app is anonymous chatting, then let it be. If private messaging is not the focus, then don't put it.

Don't let the app lose its focus.

People who want to chat privately can do so view SMS and the billions of other programs available online. This doesn't need to be another one.

Sorry, but when apps lose their focus, it's not so nice anymore since they become directionless and become bloated. The same goes for any company running without a strategy.

[Android Apps and Games] Questioned:
Ok, i was adding that suggestion to privately invite people to your hashtag so (god forbid) possible spammers won't come too. Instead of my original suggestion how about put an option to invite other people to your hashtag?
[Android Apps and Games] aeoveu:
Creating "channels" via a hash tag is workable. When I mean private, I mean something not open to others. Now see, this app let's you interact with other users in an area openly. Making a hash tag is useful for following certain updates and conversations, but not particularly useful for private messaging.

Just my $0.02.

Nobody likes spammers anyway :)

sent from my mini tractor
[Android Apps and Games] Jeffail:
I'll try and get a sort of Advertise message type out in the next build that lets you give a standard message for joining a hashtag. Not sure how I'll get it done yet but it shouldn't be hard. This might take me a while though, I don't have a lot of time to spare right now.
[Android Apps and Games] Jeffail:
Hey guys, I posted version 45 last night. It comes with an Advertise Hashtag button on the menu. If you have a hashtag applied it lets you send out a sort of invite to all users with a message, all they have to do is long click that message and they get an easy button to join your hashtag.

I also made the client keep the screen on while the chat is open.
[Android Apps and Games] dBobbyG:
Feature request

Hi!

I just want to remind you of the following features absolutely necessary:

1. Option, so that screen does not jump to the new post while scrolling in history

2. Follow multiple hashtags, including a hashtag for "nohashtag"

3. Sound notification for new messages

4. Way to notify a single user about a hashtag

5. When I blocked a user with the same name while using a tripcode, the app seemed to filter my own posts too.

Ok, that's it, only five requests ;).

Good luck.
[Android Apps and Games] Scarface1991:
Î think this is actually a great idea and I hope that you will continue on your project. I hope this will grow in future.
[Android Apps and Games] bleggy:
I like this alot.

sound notification would really make this useful.

I can have two friends do french & japanese translation. Standby.
[Android Apps and Games] dBobbyG:
One more

One more request, probably something that is "easy" to implement. I would like to sort messages in history by user name. Like when I am not following the chat for some time and I would like to read what one user said, now I have to search for all posts of that user. Just an idea. A very nice project!
[Android Apps and Games] Jeffail:
Thanks for the kind messages guys, and thanks for the ideas Bobby. I intend to do most of those at some point in the near future. As soon as I have a Beta version of Catena for iOS I'll be back on Android development (obviously if bugs are found in the android version I'll be on it straight away, so please don't hold back if you find one.)
[Android Apps and Games] Jeffail:
I've been doing a bunch of work to try and get a MySQL cluster running on raspberry pi's, this might end up giving us a few disconnects here and there.

If anyone receives any "Lost connection to server!" messages then take them with a grain of salt. You get that message every time the connection fails for any reason, since the protocol is poll based it can recover almost instantly.
[Android Apps and Games] Lex_Michdeandroid:
This app needs one little spark. As soon as it's user count explodes it's the new Facebook ;)

It's a great idea for an app, keep up these kinds of ideas!
[Android Apps and Games] Jeffail:
Hey guys, I haven't given an update here in a while, sorry for that. For the last couple of months I've been working on the web version of Catena. The idea has gone through some significant changes. Basically, the location features have been stripped out completely (for now.) The chat element is now simply an anonymous tag based chat. You could still have a location based conversation, just use a tag that represents where you are.

I've been posting updates on my website but I doubt many of you know about it, it's at http://www.creepybit.co.uk.

The web version of Catena is called Creepy Chalk, it can be found at: http://www.creepychalk.co.uk/chat

You'll also find there's a forum with a similar concept. My current plans are to get feedback on the site, if things are looking good then I'll revamp the app to suit the new system.

Once again, sorry about my lack of updates here.
[Android Apps and Games] cortexA9:
Hello,

I get 404 error for the web version
[Android Apps and Games] Jeffail:
Heya, that's because I keep violently changing the site and forgetting to update the thread. The website does a completely different thing now, which is a live, shared JavaScript editor (kind of like google docs) so it really hasn't got a lot to do with the original app any more.

Hi! I've searched looking for a recovery that works on v163 of LU6200 but can't find one. I was able to root my phone without downgrading its firmware but the CWM installed through Rom Manager doesn't work at all. I only get "Enter Fast Boot, Long time no see!" message and it's stuck on that page forever. I was looking for a thread where I can ask this but I also can't find one relevant. I apologize if creating this thread is inappropriate. Hoping I can get some help.

edit: For some reason, KDZ flasher doesn't work on my netbook which is my only computer. I'm not able to downgrade the firmware.
[LG Nitro HD] devcon69:
I think the appropriate way to root v163 is to downgrade to v135 and root, then flash v163 and root and install cwm recovery. Anyway I replied to you through PM sir.

FOR GODS SAKE READ THE POSTS CAREFULLY XBSALLS THREAD IS FOR REPAIRING BRICKED PHONES NOT DOWNGRADE THEM

Please dont qoute the whole thread when replying !!!! Its so annoying

OK I made this thread cuz many people are constantly asking about should they root their phone or not

..well first root is gaining access to system files..that's a small definition.

Why should u root ?

Rooting it self isn't benefitial its the things after rooting ex(flashing roms .kernels etc)

1-custom roms and kernels improve performance and speed and many other stuff depending on the rom .

2-u can use modded apps like defcomg's camera mods for gb or ics.

3-u can use some os versions that are not officially out for your phone like (xbsall who ported ics for p920 and there is no official update till now)

4-use custom recovery for backup and restore.

5-modify many thing ex..boot animations .

6-over clock your device to make it faster .

Is rooting safe ?

Well in one of the worst scenarios .the phone gets bricked and u need to flash a new os..

What is getting bricked?

Its when the device becomes a brick due to system or boot failure.

Can it be fixed?

Usually yes but sometimes u get hard bricked and u can't fix it but this won't probably happen if u stick to the instructions and read them carefully.

How to root?

Don't ask me go search the forum every firmware has its own way of rooting and they are all mentioned in the forum.

What do I need to know before rooting and flashing roms ?

1-by rooting u are voiding the warrant if your device and u can un

root.

2-u may brick your device and u need to learn how to fix it ( its all mentioned in the forum)

3-there are different kinds of bricks ..the easy ones that's can be fixed by simply restoring a backup.and some tough bricks when the device can't even go to download mode or recovery (also fixable)..in some of the worst scenarios u may get hardware bricked and u need to take the device to the manufacturer for replacing parts but this won't likely happen If u know what ur doing.

4-u may loose your imei when unbricking and u can restore without the need of octopus box or other restoring ways.

5-fixing a bricked device isn't easy u need to try more than a way sometimes.

Is it worth it? ??

For me yes it is..

A piece of advice when u brick your phone and u will:p don't panic just search for the solution and u will find it..if u couldn't find a solution u can ask in the general section and users will help u..

Also read alot alot alot ....read every thing every single post about your problem before trying something or before posting a new thread.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask:)

Hello, all.

I'm currently looking to purcahse OG to replace my aging I-897. However, when I played with the G at local AT&T store, I was shocked how slow UI response was compared to Onc X or SG3. The other phones had faster touch response time (e.g., scroll, swype, etc.).

Do you guys think there was something wrong with the demo phone at their store?

[AT&T LG Optimus G] weisborg:
Sometimes my Back button gives haptic feedback but the OS doesn't respond to it or the flick scrolling doesn't coast as long as other phones (In Twitter Feeds or browsing for instance). Other than that and the slow UI redraw on Home Screen rotate (HTC Sense is often slow to redraw too, and it is rare to have a home screen that rotates in stock) the phone is very responsive.

CWM works but stores backups in a different directory and rom manger cannot see them. I have also tried doing a backup from RM but it fails. Think the only thing it succeeds in, is to boot to recovery.

Hello;

I recently purchased a Galaxy Nexus (Takju) from a guy on Kijiji (we love using it up here in Canada), it updated to 4.1.2 fine, when I try to update to 4.2, it downloads it, during the installation I get the screen with the red exclamation point. After that the phone reboots and is still at 4.1.2. I contacted the guy who I bought it from and he said that he unlocked the bootloader, not sure what this means.

I have read some of the threads on this forum and others, it sounds like the radio has to flashed. I have no idea what this means or how to do it, I am a simple Android user, all of my updates are OTA.

Can someone help me with this? I would love to get 4.2.

Will Google provide a "radio-friendly" update to 4.2?

Thanks

Using the method of holding volume down and power, I can get to the recovery menu - but it automagically selects the RCK option and I get the dead droid with red triangle. Am I borked? I couldn't NvFlash since I was updated to the latest JB (thought it would fix things).

I'm not sure if I'm just doing things wrong, borked, or need to keep trying. Any advice is appreciated.

You have to hold vol down to get to the boot menu, but then use vol up to select the usb option and vol down to select. No matter how quickly I react by letting go of vol down, it automagically selects RCK. Unable to get to USB.

Not rooted, unfortunately. I hadn't heard of voodoo root and figured it would be just as easy to root after the upgrade to JB. So I'm actually trying to root now. I'm trying to get CWM on. Hoping I can do so through command prompt (i.e. adb and fastboot.exe in windows 7 cmd prompt) but adb so far hasn't recognized my device.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jcbofkc:
All the answers to your questions are covered in the stickies. If you need a little direction after spending some time reading pm me and I will do my best. I check in on a regular basis.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HajmeR:
Rooting is very easy. You can flash rooted stock jb rom. Which will save you time on updating and rooting. You can find it in stickies, it's called root66, all steps are there.

As to rom, it comes down to what you want to heve on your phone. If you want to have everything clean and simple + android 4.1.2, go with cm10. But it doesn't have many stock futures of the phone.

If you like stock futures of sgs3 like motion. You can go with FrostyJB. It's great rom and my favorite.

You need to do some research on that and find what you like the most.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
I also followed the guide here to flash the root-injected ROM. I'd never done anything like it before, so I read the instructions several times - but it was a pretty simple process and I am very happy that I did it.

Personally, I have stuck to the stock ROM since I need T-Mobile's WIFI calling. I understand that TW-based ROMs will have this, but I haven't looked around yet. Simply having Apex launcher has made such a vast improvement that I am very pleased for now and have just about everything I have wanted as of yet.
