i, for one, am in favour of the f-droid version over the xda thread version..

the reason is that for AdAway in particular, the current maintainer is not the original author.. im not sure why the author does not come over to xda himself/herself.. but this approach creates one potential issue to me, i.e., what if one day the current maintainer (for whatever reason) decides to quit maintaining? this is not an unusual assumption and it happened many times in many other apps.. and in this respect f-droid won my vote as i think its more unlikely for an organisation like f-droid to go out of scene than an individual..

anyway its off-topic imho, and sorry about this..

to be back on topic, i think a checking & warning mechanism on signature difference for XDA Labs on new apk installations should be a good idea..
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
[Edited for accuracy] AFAIK the closest thing Adaway has to a developer (compiler) at the moment is Mr. Robinson in the XDA thread (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59876906&postcount=3030). I might be wrong and would be willing to be proven so.... but to your point... in the Adaway thread since we are getting way off topic here:).
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
yes im aware that f-droid are merely compiling the apks from the github (or wherever open-sourced locations are) source tree.. as a matter of fact i also just download from f-droid web site and install manually instead of using their client..

was actually referring to the risk of being left with a no-longer-supported (aka abandoned) app, and i meant to justify why i chose f-droid due to this reason.. :p

anyway too much off-topic on me..

great app. keep sharing.
[Android Apps and Games] tag68:
People are lazy. People install hundreds of apps. People don't want to read. And: It should be possible for them to judge when it may be necessary and when it is sufficient to read the OP of a thread.

Key point: You don't search for information that you don't know you are missing.

Exactly! That's my idea, to make it more guided!

F-Droid is not mentioned in the OP of adaway. Nearly every other app store only distributes the original version. Most people are just not aware they are missing something and that the signatures differ! The search inside thread begins when the update fails. If we can make it easier and make it unnecessary to read the thread, why shouldn't we? Laziness is the key to improvement. Users shouldn't need to know about signatures. There's no need for that if they don't want to develop something. That's what Play store and XDA labs and Android installer are for.

IMHO that's not the problem. AFAIR mrRobinson officially got the maintenance from the original author. If you let people decide to use original or copy, most will decide for the original. You may mark the original as original or make some more comments, but why should you forbid to use another version, or make the switch complicated in some direction? If someone wants it, just let him. Guide the users, not force them. They will change away from you if you try to force them I guess (at least that's what I would do).
[Android Apps and Games] Pierre M. Adkins:
Well thought out, excellent documentation.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
So very far off topic. Take it to the Adaway thread if you feel compelled to continue this, but be advised that your excuses for people not reading OPs and searching will be as ill received there as they are here. Those things are just expectations (some would even say rules) of participation in these threads. XDA is not a free software distribution portal.
[Android Apps and Games] Tanmoy Mitra:
Hey Xda members I want to report few bugs in the latest beta channel of XDA labs....

Here are issues:-

1. The Xposed repository download/update feature is buggy and gives boot loops and soft bricked my phone....duh :(

2. Most of user had update issue..... Idn how this app starts multiple downloads... I.e. if u update cortana ; it shows downloading cortana downloading cortana or say it dpwnloads the same app twice

Now few suggestion

1. I know its material but still not getting the vibe of materialfullness

2.Plz make sure this app has feature letting to download mods suited only for the APl we are having keeping in mind apk's are backward compatible....same stuff like in play store saying " this app is not compatible with your phone"

3. Please also include a forum chatroom and group chatroom.. (Both different) forum chatroom where current active users (known or unknown from any remote corners ) can chat with each other( catch behind this is instant answers/solution to problems so no need of starting threads for short purposes..... And group chatroom where befriended people can make a group and chat within the group not leaking out......

SAME SORTA STUFF WHEN SOMEONE FUSED CLASH OF CLAN WITH XDA LABS WHERE PUBLIC CHAT IS AVAILABLE ALONG WITH CLAN(HERE GROUP CHAT).......Will be happy if I can chat and share my feelings and where we do not have to be so formal in talking......:)

LASTLY ADD OPTION WITHIN THE APP TO REPORT BUG (with option to see whether report is public or private)

Hoping to see the changes around in next update
[Android Apps and Games] Manuel15:
Ussues:

1) Can you provide logs? They would be usefull

2) known issue

Suggestions:

1) I guess it's subjective...

2) It's already planned, you can read it in the OP

3) This isn't an app feature request, it's a XDA forum feature request... Also, if you want to just make a general question then you can use the general help thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2257421
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
In addition of [MENTION=6066466]Manuel15[/MENTION]'s answers:

I also think it's subjective and also you can read one blk_jack's post about this HERE.

As said by [MENTION=6066466]Manuel15[/MENTION], it's known issues and you can see it's planned to be changed in roadmap post #3.... But I have a doubt though. In addition of this quoted below, is it planned for XDA Labs to also check if an app in the store is compatible with a specific version of Android? Or is it already the case?

Finally,

IMHO, no need to add a built-in report feature... XDA Labs needs to be light, we can currently report issues multiple ways and I think it's enough: via XDA, IRC, (and email?)

Sorry for the OT but I envy both of your ability to stay cool and be helpful even when people are SHOUTING. Thank you!

FYI to the as yet uninformed; all caps is the text equivalent of shouting.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
In Private Messages - Sent Items, the list view shows the sender of the messages (which are naturally all the same) rather than showing the recipient of the message.

Also, when viewing individual messages the recipient is not shown so there seems to be no way to tell who a message was sent to (unless you are verbose and formal like me and address messages with the recipients name in the message body:))

Both the XDA Free and XDA Premium apps show the recipient in the list view and from within the message. I confirmed this at device (100%) and app (normal) font sizes small enough to allow lots of room but the recipient just does not seem to be displayed in Labs. I searched the thread to see if this was a previously reported issue or known limitation but found no reference. Can anybody else confirm this or that it has already been reported?

Observation(s) /question(s):

if we press one of our mentions (I guess that quotes would be the same) leading to a post that has been deleted by a mod, XdaLabs will endlessly show the loading spinner and even pressing the back key will not stop it.

The way to get out of it is to use the recent apps and clear the app from the list (it this unfair treatment to an app?).

:p

But I've found out that there is another way to do it: just rotate your phone to landscape mode and the request (and spinner) will be canceled.

Also on that last bit: is this a normal behavior.. that requests get cancelled upon screen rotation? My internet connection is often crappy and sometimes, it can take a little while or even 2 trials before I'd get to where I want with XdaLabs. But if I press something that is a bit slow to load and stand up and make the screen rotate non intentionally, we'll you've guessed it, my last operation is canceled by that.

I'm running v1.0.6.1b-debug on CM13 and I do know for a fact that the CM guys have been dealing with similar rotation issues lately, so I'm in no way trying to point fingers here.

I can't really give a link to such a mention (obviously because inexistent post) but if needed, I can try to grab a log of the request cancelation by rotation tomorrow if I see slow post loading again.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thanks for the inspiration [MENTION=3703649][] AL [][/MENTION]

[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
No need to thank me; I'm always glad to help finding new ways to crash things, especially when someone else do the breaking part... :p

I did notice just after posting that I didn't need a bad Internet connection to actually get a cancelled intent caused by screen rotation : just basically choose a thread to load and right after rotate and your back to the list without ever going to that intended thread. But I didn't crash it before you've explained how... so thanks back to you.

Dang! you guys just got me spend the remaining half of my daily allowance on one page!

And yes 8 thanks a day is a very small number when following a few times that number of threads. But...

Time to kick a$$ and give thanks away. Too bad, I'm all of of thanks... That's what I meant to write the other day.

edit w/o quote (too late) :

yes my username's first "[]" have been problematic since a long time on quotes and with 'the competition' also (although I'm starting to forget what Tapatalc [sic] used to look). Probably has something to do with messing up the bb codes; I just got used to it and don't notice it anymore... But thinking of it now, I think that I did notice one or two of [MENTION=5119654]IronTechmonkey[/MENTION] 's corrected quotes though and have wondered why for a sec at the time...

[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I don't know, I didn't write that code. If it's an existing issue from XDA One it might still be an issue in Labs unless it's a high enough priority and I've fixed it.

EDIT: The problem is that the URL tag isn't rendered inside the code tag, which is from One.

EDIT 2: To further clarify, on the web it renders the links.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
That's what I observed

So it may be fixed on Labs someday?

To complete my previous summary of translation issues, I would like to add and bump this point below which has already been reported on Crowdin by different users. I know you're currently focusing on Apps Store part of Labs, then maybe this little point could be fixed soon? :)

> "Apps categories" and "Xposed categories":

in French and other languages, "Categories" goes before the word "Apps" or "Xposed" and could need a preposition before "Apps" or "Xposed".

Examples:

> About Apps:

- English: "Apps categories"

- French: "Catégories des applis"

> About Xposed modules:

- English: "Xposed categories"

- French: "Catégories de Xposed"

First of all thank you very much for your hard work in this app,thread and XDA community.

The app is really awesome and in the latest update it loads faster than before (it toke me 1 min to see my theme description before) so this's a really good improvement.

If you don't mind I have just one suggestion :

What about add feature to see if the member is online or not (like the check box in the forum).

Again thank you very much for your hard work

You want to learn? This is GOOD! If you want your reports to be usefull:

1- You don't need to share here the crash report which is generated by XDA Labs. As mentioned in the pop-up, the crash log has already been sent to the dev. :)

2- Instead, you have to use a third-party app (like MatLog) or use ADB commands to catch logs: Just reproduce your issue (f you know how to reproduce) while recording logs and then write a post in this thread with:

An additional observation about those odd quote/replies. A similar fracturing of the quote/subquote structure is happening in quote/reply PMs around the "[]" character combination in member name, when sent from PC computer versions of Firefox or Palemoon (a Firefox variant) or XDA Labs, with slightly different symptoms in each, but the issue does not occur when PMs are sent from Internet Explorer or XDA Free or XDA Premium. With internet Explorer typically being the browser that violates the univesal standards I find this interesting and a bit humorous. In any event it seems to be more of an XDA issue rather than an XDA Labs specific issue. I've got bunches of test messages and screenshot if they would be of use.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
It's not possible to rate threads through XDA Labs and this is the case for everyone. Rating stars are shown just for info.

You'll still have to use a web browser to do it... Unless it's a planned feature but AFAIK it has never been mentioned. Also, I guess it shouldn't be supported by the current API.

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]

What do you think about adding a "sticky post" feature to the XDA Labs API?

So that people could see on every page (if the OP decides to do use this feature) a specific post, for example, what is on the roadmap, or if the dev is not willing to work on certain things.

While not everyone will pay attention, even if some do, it's worth it, to lessen the barrage of redundant posts in the threads.

And what do you think about implementing a special thread exclusively for fights?

With different rules from the rest of the forum, for example, that the posters cannot reply, only post.

The confusion may cheer people up by making them forget why they were angry in the first, and they may make up.

A mod could automatically move their fights from their respective threads, and notify them of it.
