[MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION] thanks for the hindi translation bhai ????
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
It's not all my job, [MENTION=7297761]SalarX[/MENTION] helped too :D

Hey it's me me me :p

Thanks for the credits too :)
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Putting aside the bad form of posting "I prefer Y to X" in a thread dedicated to X without offering any constrictive feedback for X... There are limitations in XDA Labs that would drive people to other options, particularly forum/thread browsers such as myself. We don't hear much about these now due to forum rules and etiquette, and since they are on the road-map or are known limitations, and because the primary focus of Labs is on app development and distribution. That being said I'll echo [MENTION=7134312]knpk13[/MENTION] (who ninja-ed me, otherwise I would have posted this hours ago:)).

The lack of thread search and inability to use HIDE tags significantly impact my use of XDA Labs for forum browsing. For me those 2 things are what have me keep XDA Free and XDA Premium on my device and also occasionally use Opera or Naked Browser. Since Labs is widely touted as a better alternative for forum browsing as well as app development and distribution I hope that one day those things will be added but I say this with no complaint and no ask beyond them already being on radar.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Ak:
haha ofcourse bhai
[Android Apps and Games] jonas2790:
Can anyone tell me when the source code of this app will be released? How do you guys define "shortly"? Some years?
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Don't worry, they'll release it when the time comes.

However, your point is valid, since they said that the code will be releases back in the days of XDA One, and nothing came out of that.

For now we should support the development XDA Labs, and ocassionally point out that the desire for the source code has not waned, on the contrary, it's strengthening with every release.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Keep the sarcasm at the minimum please, the source code is the result of someone's toil of months. I don't really see any problem with the source code not being released, on the contrary, it's a pretty good thing. When it's released, anyone can simply fork it, add tracking and data mining stuff and then distribute the APK on third-party app stores, definitely not a pretty sight. People will kang and kang and no worthwhile contribution will be made to the original project.

The source code for XDA One is on the XDA GitHub, and it still got deprecated, the community couldn't keep it updated for long enough.
[Android Apps and Games] jonas2790:
Well, then you don't believe in the idea of open source software, which I'm perfectly fine with. But I do believe in this idea, just think about what XDA would be without AOSP or what the digital world would be without Linux.

And what might be even more important is: I don't want to run code somebody is hiding from me on my devices, this is why I joined XDA and started building CM for my phone. We're trusting way to much people out there having access to our private information, at least XDA should try to make a difference.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
I never said that I'm against open source, but the misuse of open source code. I see people who kang other's code like there's no tomorrow. Our favourite ROMs and the Linux kernel, if you look closely, all code coming from external sources is properly attributed, either by specifying an author or mentioning the coder in the commit message. I'm very much in favour of an open source XDA Labs, and FYI, the source code button points to the correct link, just the fact that we're not authenticated to view the private repository is the hindrance. XDA has always been at the forefront of Android OSS and I hope it will continue this for long.
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Thanks, apparently I had misunderstood back then.

And I agree that the forking misuse issue should be taken seriously.
[Android Apps and Games] Clark Joseph Kent:
Shortly= Soon.

And the only way to truly trust, and not allow access...log off all your devices/net total off the grid. Until then, information will always be available.

And XDA is making the difference, after all this is a private forum, we allowed you to have a Membership. XDA didn't send you a friend request...
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Expanding on that; I trust many of the developers on XDA more than most other sources of software, and trust XDA and its community to regulate.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
We would have been right where we were before android. Right here doing the same thing we do now. Oh the good ol days. No one is forcing you to use it. People take open source for granted.

Oh and if you dont like closed sourced then you might want to rethink CM as their new SDK that they are wrapping things in is not open source, but im sure you know that.
[Android Apps and Games] jonas2790:
I don't take open source for granted at all and I can fully understand the devs of this app if they don't want to show the source code. They worked hard to write this and it's their choice if they want to give their work to the world for free, especially when there are people who will (try to) make money with it or don't mention the author.

Yeah, I don't like the way Cyanogen Inc. goes and how they try to get their stuff into CM at all.

You, my friend, run the gauntlet of choice here. Maybe whatever your favorite color is? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
I'm torn between beta tester and contributor, anyways, you must have got a stacktrace sent to you about 10 minutes earlier. I got a crash when updating the YouTube Music app and I tried to click on Notifly's tile and got the crash. Steps to reproduce may be incorrect, but the crash was there.

HIDE doesn't render too lol
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thanks! I like the idea because recently I wanted to put something about Labs in my sig. It's done now :)

Btw, I chose Contributor, but I was wondering if this could be wrongly interpreted as if I was a real Contributor as shown in OP...which is not the case in reality. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
It's however you interpret your relationship with Labs. You contribute a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] nathanchance:
If anyone gets contributor, it is [MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION] LOL :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You too! LOL

:p :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Hey just so you know (and anyone else who set a signature image). I updated the URLs in the image. Looks like XDA was caching an old version of the image. Update your sigs if you please folks! Sorry! :)
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
I still don't understand how this works, though.

Do I choose one, and it becones part of my signature?

Or do I have to put the code in my post each time?

Or have I completely misunderstood the entire concept?

in any case, I choose Beta Tester.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
AFAIK you would copy/paste the provided code to your XDA profile signature.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
[MENTION=5358804]moriel5[/MENTION], (and [MENTION=5119654]IronTechmonkey[/MENTION])

You have to copy the url you want and then paste it in your web signature with a browser.

Check my screenshots
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
Maybe this question have been asked before in this thread but I cannot search the thread at the moment.

Can there be an option in the future that let the end user to choose on wheather they want to have News Feed or Xda Forum as the starting page of the app?
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Yep, that is the XDA profile signature I was talking about (though being of minimalist inclinations I dont use signatures). As usual you were willing to take out the spoon where I merely point to the pantry. :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You can already do what you describe.

Just enable the forum launcher icon in settings and you'll have 2 icons (xda labs and xda forum) in your drawer to choose what you want to launch.
[Android Apps and Games] ericotena:
Always crashes. Sigh ?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I have no doubt at all you were talking about this too. It was just to confirm and to illustrate. :)
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
But I love the XDA Labs icon more…
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
That screen indicates, as stated in the text therein, that a report was sent to the developer(s), but if you want to make you post here more helpful you could provide detail about the circumstances and provide a log taken when the crash occurs (which is SOP for issue reporting and without which posting a gigantic screenshot contributes nothing).
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Don't worry, I wasn't planning on using them either (I want the data to get as quickly as possible to and from my devices, adding a signature won't help in that regard, quite the opposite), I just wanted to get an idea of how it works.

However, I may use it elsewhere (as in, out of XDA) if it's allowed.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
The forum icon is the same than previous XDA one app, FYI.

But, if you know how to edit an APK, you can change the corresponding PNG for the forum icon : ic_launcher_one.png

You have to go for instance in res/drawable-xhdpi-v4 (or other folder, depending on your screen resolution).

Or you can add a suggestion for a different forum icon in the app...
[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:
Or he can just use a custom launcher with any icon pack...
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Of course... But the only problem by changing with icon pack through a custom launcher is that the original icon is still here in other screens of Android. e.g. recents panel, apps management menu, etc.

Not so proper then, isn't it? :)
[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:
Yeh you're right!

IMHO the forum launcher icon must be changed asap...
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
App crashing some times

Loading more time

Push an update
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Pah, still easy, unpack both theme APK and Labs APK and just replace the icon from the theme into the relevant drawable folder according to your screen density. Better though that Jeff asks Faiz to make something real slick like the Labs logo :)
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
In participated threads tab, how to remove unwanted threads that I dnt want to see anymore
[Android Apps and Games] Kaconk:
Just click the yellow star on the top of the corner :)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Not correct :)

You can't remove the participated threads.

[MENTION=5481562]Kaconk[/MENTION]: what you are talking about allows to unsubscribe from subscribed threads.

---------- Post added at 15:28 ---------- Previous post was at 15:25 ----------

Yes I already answered about changing the forum icon PNG here.

Yes, it should be good and better but for those who won't like the next icon (if there will), the "PNG solution" will be still valid :)

---------- Post added at 15:36 ---------- Previous post was at 15:28 ----------

OK... but do you have

- logs for the dev?

- your android version?

- steps to reproduce?

Lack of info here...

Wut? I think you shouldn't be so directive. Do you really think your post can help providing some help and a possible fix?
[Android Apps and Games] ericotena:
How to provide log? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
It's not the right place to ask this. Also and preferably, you can search yourself how to do that.

But as I like to spoon-feed very much (as already mentionned by some great members like for instance [MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5119654]IronTechmonkey[/MENTION]), I can tell you can:

1- First off, install XDA Labs debug version.

2- Use a third party app like for instance MatLog (from Playstore). Or use adb commands (HERE is a guide)

You have to reproduce your issue while recording logs with one of the methods mentionned in step 2.

Please next time search before posting :)
[Android Apps and Games] Metr0nom:
[MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION],thanks for the reply mate.I solve the problem of installation of apps by myself.The problem is that XDALabs doesn't want to install apps if the app (XDALabs) is moved to external storage.When you move it back to internal storage,everything works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
It actually is! We're using the new rounded square icon that's on the Play store version of Labs now for the forums.

Faiz literally did a mock-up of a new icon a few days ago actually.

Attached is the new Forum icon AND the mock-up. The mock-up isn't in the app yet, but I've brought it up to the team and we're discussing something new. Any comments / feedback on either would be good though.
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
The labs icon was always amazing!

The forums icon on the right looks great and complements the labs icon! Maybe it could be a very very slightly smaller and rounded though?

What is this "mock up icon" on the left do? It doesn't look that great.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
So the mock up is actually the "Forums" icon you're talking about. The one that has 2 chats overlapping is the mock-up. The rounded square XDA one is the "new" forums icon (that'll be in the next Labs build) and also currently the defacto icon for the Play edition.
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]

Ah I see. Thanks for the clarification.

the mock up(overlapping one) is WAY better than the forums icon(plain square) in that case IMO.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Personally I agree :) It's ultimately not entirely up to me though, but I thought I'd post it here & get some feedback
[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:
Voting for this one!
[Android Apps and Games] Maxr1998:
Awesome! I also prefer the right one.

Btw, I just downloaded, rated, and removed the Play Store version of Labs, to help push the new app to the top of Google Play.

I suggest you all to do the same! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
The same, I prefer the right one. But maybe this forum icon should be a bit smaller?
[Android Apps and Games] Maxr1998:
Yep, a little smaller would look better. Maybe scale it according to the Material design docs.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Love the feedback on the icon!

Also on a side topic, and I'll mention the people (@FLooDW, [MENTION=7134312]knpk13[/MENTION], [MENTION=6891123]iSaidyiu[/MENTION]) in here I've seen using them, but I updated the signatures AGAIN. Since XDA caches them, I had to change the URL of the actual image, which means if you want the new ones you'll have to update your signature.

Go here to find the new URL

The new images are smaller (dimensions and file size) and will make reading posts by Labs supporters easier ;)

Old

New
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Let's ping [MENTION=4518416]Faiz Malkani[/MENTION] and see if he has any comment on his mock-up of the forums icon. He's kind of a material design guru but he did make the image in very short time so who knows ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Faiz Malkani:
Smaller icon? I did design to scale with the Material guidelines, and the reason it looks large is that the XDA Labs icon's height is slightly smaller than most Material icons, which was a deliberate decision so as to maintain the bag's aspect ratio since its width matches up to the icon grid..

Here's a quick comparison of the new Forums icon, against the Inbox icon.
[Android Apps and Games] Maxr1998:
Ahhhh, so the Labs icon is too small, means the forum icon isn't too big.. Thanks for clearing it up! You did a very good job on the new icon.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK, thanks.

[MENTION=5222551]Maxr1998[/MENTION] said it all. Then, it's all about relativity :D
[Android Apps and Games] Perseus:
@blk_jack

Neither a App Developer nor have I contributed much on this thread. So Standard one for me. Imho, would have liked some sort of wrap in the first line. That way the image won't be so long. But maybe I am picky.
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
Deleted. Known issue.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
[MENTION=7134312]knpk13[/MENTION] it's a known issue with Unicode characters and has been reported several times earlier. Check the known bugs in the OP
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
Oh. Ive already read the OP well. But I didn't know those were Unicode characters. :( my bad. Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I agree, it's good to support the app and to show our love but IMHO the "xda labs signature" should be a bit more discrete/smaller again (blk_jack already updated to a smaller one today, but an additionnal adjustment should be good) to avoid spamming the board too much. No?
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
My five cents worth:

- I really like the forum icon

- I would love the dark rounded square in the forum icon to be used (slightly enlarged and the text centred) as the icon for Labs. What I like about it, over the Play Store/proposed icon, is that the corners are more rounded and the text is thicker.
[Android Apps and Games] Faiz Malkani:
Yep, there's often visual illusions in design that look wrong but are technically correct. It's all about relativity!
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
Except that participated threads also lets moderator and other members see what thread have been participated in by "you". As far as I know that list is pulled directly from the site. so, following that logic, removing from that list in app would mean the site would need the ability to remove from the site. I wasn't able to find such on site (nor do I believe it's possible).

If it is possible, I'd think that spammers would exploit this to obfuscate their existence.

This is only my opinion, based on what little I know if php boards and XDA in specific.
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:

[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:

[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
+1 for commenting ur thoughts on my previous previous post

+1 for myself that I may get that delete option in future
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
In a post which includes LIST Tag (1st screenshot), when we EDIT this post, LIST and * are well displayed, It's OK (2nd screenshot).

But when we QUOTE this kind of post, LIST and * are missing in post creation screen! (3rd screenshot).
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
Yeah I get that. What I'm advocating for is like using the participated thread list as a lower priority subscribed thread list. Because as of now, I don't think the participated thread list is of use to many users? It's simply a large record of threads (important/unimportant) that you have no control over to organise or make it useful. The worst part is that threads you're already subscribed to appear in BOTH participated threads and subscribed threads, and marking a thread "read" in one list doesn't make it "read" in the other list.

So to address your concerns about moderators and spammers and everything, one idea is to simply replace participated threads with a lower priority subscribed thread list which you can edit like the main subscribed thread list. That won't impact anything else which you're concerned about, and make that list more useful.

- search in the thread in case someone already had the problem.

- reproduce the issue while recording logs and attach the log file here.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Weird, the downloading mechanics are handled entirely by Android itself (Labs just passes it off to DownloadManager). Like [MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION] mentioned, check your logs & see what DownloadManager is up to.
