About the known issue "invisible icons in action bar" (white icons on white backgroud) reported HERE, HERE and HERE which occurs on some devices running Android <5 (Android 4.4.4 in my case), I would really like to find a workaround without having to mod XDA Labs apk (I don't want a post-compile mod of PNG or even style.xml).

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] told it's not an easy fix (he already tried) and then he told us HERE he could look into it more but it's low priority.

Guys, in the meantime of a potential fix in XDA Labs, I would really appreciate if someone could help me to find a way to workaround this issue (xposed modules or ROM modding allowing to force the use of a contextual pop-up instead of the top action bar on Android 4?).

Please PM me to avoid off topic :)

Dude, why my profile pic being replaced? Aldy 2 days... It worked fine for 3 days after installation.

Anyone having the same prob?
[Android Apps and Games] Ja_som:
I have the same "issue", and I cleared cache for labs...
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
This issue happens when you clear cache of XDA labs.

To fix, you just have to logout and then login again. Your avatar will be back.
[Android Apps and Games] lee.wp14:
Only clear data works for me... Anyway it works now.
[Android Apps and Games] lee.wp14:
I haven't clear b4... Just use it for a week only
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Maybe one of your app or the system itself cleared it for you. Just my 2 cents.
[Android Apps and Games] Maxr1998:
Whoops. Then my suggestion was rather bad.

At least now I know where the bug comes from.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Replied in thread rather than PM because this is a +1 for the issue. Reproduced on Genymotion Samsung Galaxy S4 KK4.4.4 VM.

<attached pictureTextSelectionWhiteOnWhite.png>

Also reproduced in Genymotion Moto X KK4.4.4 VM, and as a control test to make sure it was not a general Gennymotion issue verified that it does not occur occur in Genymotion Nexus 6 L5.1.0 VM. It seems as if this is an issue within KitKat 4.4.4 (or more, but not necessarily all KitKat) and that is not really a very a small group, older though it may be.

For what it is worth; the few times I've seen something like this, which I do presently in Power Amp on my actual Moto E CM12.1/L5.1.1, the fix has been an in-app setting to invert colors in status bar (or something to that effect).
[Android Apps and Games] lee.wp14:
Ok... I know the culprit aldy :D
[Android Apps and Games] lee.wp14:
Since saw this post, then just report mine. Worked fine for me.

Mine android 4.4.2
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
As I know it's low priority for blk_jack to look into this, I recently tried CM13 based ROM on my GS3 LTE to have the contextual pop-up (for copy, cut, paste,...) instead of white on white action bar... But I'm not happy with this CM13 based ROM so I'm back on Samsung stock based ROM 4.4.4, so I have the bug.

Copy, cut, paste is something I do very very often on XDA Labs, I feel a bit blind when I try to reach the right button on the white on white action bar :p

---------- Post added at 11:23 ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 ----------

I already reported it a long time ago (december 2015), profile image should be loaded even after cache wipe. But it's easy to workaround with the logout/login trick :)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
About the search plus issue I've reported HERE (section title layout glitch), I've just noticed something has changed recently about the title style... but I still have the same kind of problem. I know it's something related to backend (@ webworker01) but I thought it was interesting to mention it.

> Before:

> Now, I still have the glitch but it's a bit different (titles bar is at the center and it has a different style):

I run a Samsung stock based ROM Android 4.4.4 on my SGS3 LTE.

This glitch doesn't exist if I use a CM13 based ROM on my device.

Maybe I've missed it but I've never read someone else having this problem, am I the only one? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Maxr1998:
It's probably a WebView issue, since the search plus feature is only a webpage wrapped in the app.

Android 5+ uses a new (decoupled) WebView now, which already contains the fixes for this glitch.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yeah, I know it's a webpage wrapped in the app. That's why I checked with my favorite internet browsers a few weeks ago and today again, it's the same problem with Android 4.4.4 on my device.

I know XDA Labs is not the culprit, but as we can easily reach the search plus feature through XDA Labs -we're almost not off topic- I was wondering if something could be done on the website itself (a workaround?) for older versions of Android.... I saw that there is still a lot of phones running Android <5...

[Android Apps and Games] n78 shadow:
Maybe it's really a strange request So don't get mad when answering;):angel:

Is it possible to delete a rate from my app.

A lot of users doesn't know what is CM12 and they install my themes in XDA labs and then rate one star cause they say (it doesn't open) and keep in mind that I put in the description that THIS THEME IS JUST FOR CM12 .

some users response to the pm that this theme won't work on stock and change the rating but some doesn't?

Again I know it's strange :eek: but I guess it would be useful to send a reasonable request to the moderator to delete a rate.

And thank you for your hard work:good: really thank you.

With KitKat and Lollipop each still on roughly 1/3 of Android devices in the wild, and Jellybean on about 1/5, and Marshmallow still on less than 1/10 I don't envy developers having to try to accommodate multiple versions, and the primary focus is usually on the newest version. This is one of the problems caused by the fact that Google and service providers have largely abdicated the responsibility for keeping devices upgraded. Security of personal information is another thing that gets lost in that mess.

Here's an idea: Make a paper template with holes cut out and labeled for each of the commands in the edit bar, tape it to the top edge of your device, and flip it down when needed. It could be called The Text Edit Bar Bezel Extender. :silly:

The only way to make it work all around is to use its own set of images. Without the need to ref the stock images or styles. This may not go over so well with the MD fans but that is about the only way.

I've just realized that with XDA Labs, we can't view Q&A threads created by QA bot, for instance this one:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/help-i9305/qa-resurrection-remix-4-4-2-kitkat-v5-1-t2950817

FYI, those kind of threads are handled by Tapatalk (1st and 2nd screenshots).

Also, in the 3rd screenshot, you can see the thread (linked above) through an internet browser with a computer.

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] or other guys:

I would like to clarify this point, could it be the same explanation than HERE ? Is it part of DevDB links which can't be opened with XDA Labs?

If it's not the same issue, could it be fixed (API or the app itself)?

In case it can help, I attach here some logs while trying to load this thread with XDA Labs.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Just for fun, I've built the Text Edit Bar Bezel Extender, check my pictures attached :p

I'll keep it in my pocket and will put on the screen when needed :laugh:

No byline bug

More seriously, I've found how to reproduce THIS BUG reported by [MENTION=5137845]gerciolisz[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5222551]Maxr1998[/MENTION].
[MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION] should be happy, no need for a new build to report "new" bugs :)

To reproduce:

1 -You have to set "No byline" in settings

2- Force english language in settings. 1 st screenshot.

3- Restart the app.

4- Create a post and you'll have the "Aucune signature" (french in my case, or the corresponding translation of "No byline" in your system language) at the end of the post. 2nd screenshot.

5- Then check in settings, you have wrongly no item selected. 3rd screenshot.

6- If you select "No byline" and create a new post, the problem doesn't happen anymore.

The same happens if we disable "Force english" in settings and then create a post and you'll have the english "No byline" inserted. 4th screenshot.

Logs attached.

In xda forums why can't we just see the post no. (I can see it in Tapatalk)
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
It's not been implemented yet. Developer knows we asked for it and will add it as soon as possible.
[Android Apps and Games] dudeawsome:
why dont you publish it to the google play store it would be easier to deploy beta or normal updates you can get people to join the beta program thing that google play does and people dont have to worry about apks
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
Because play store doesn't allow alternate stores in their catalog (amongst other reasons).
[Android Apps and Games] dudeawsome:
Oh ok
[Android Apps and Games] n78 shadow:
I've posted this few days earlier I don't if someone saw it (sorry if you pretend this as spamming)
[Android Apps and Games] ChiDi9901:
To be honest, as a developer of any kind of apps/theme/tweaks/etc., you must deal with many consequences, critics but also stupids. They sadly exist. They cannot read, are lazy to read, don't learn the English language properly, or simply want to show their hate without reasons and behave ignorantly. On the other hand, removing ratings is pretty impossible and counts as rating manipulation which is not welcomed at all.

Sorry that you need to encounter this problem. As long as you have written a warning that your theme only supports CM12 it's already the most and best you can do.

[OFF-TOPIC]

Sorry for the O-T here, but since I have yet to find an easy way to attach images in PMs with XdaLabs, here's a preview of my last 5 creations for SSK (among close to 15 other designs of mine and some >100+ themes from others...) for [MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION]. (and as a general recommendation for others...)

My Xposed modules don't show in XDA Labs for devs. I was an additional author in Xposed repo, but it was changed today, how to make modules appear now?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Sorry [MENTION=3703649][] AL [][/MENTION] , I've answered a bit too fast, I've just remembered you will have the same problem described in the link below if you use IMG tags in PM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=66994697

Then, you'll have to use a web browser (or other forum app) to be able use properly IMG tags in the meantime of a fix in xda labs.

Like already mentioned, I think the fix in xda labs should be :

- to not automatically add URL tags in IMG tags (or YOUTUBE tags) when creating/editing a post or creating a PM.

- to add a toggle to enable/disable "automatically parse links in text" in post creation/edition or PM creation.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Finally, I've thrown away the Text Edit Bar Bezel Extender, I've edited the APK to change the PNG color like already recommanded by some users. :D

I'll have to do this for each new version of XDA Labs but I have no choice in the meantime of a fix because those commands are very important.
[Android Apps and Games] bravonova:
How to see user's created threads?? Started by that user....

It displays only thanks count, post count, signature, etc. after tapping on user's avatar.

I guess that isn't in the API right now.

We'll have to wait until the backend devs add it.

Not supported by the API as of now. Not doable for now.

FYI, enabling Unknown Sources does not require root access.
[Android Apps and Games] jezabellin:
I realize that. I only ment that alot of the time when rooting,Ive had to go online to get the proper apps and enable unknown sources to download them because google play didnt allow them. I just recently noticed they have some rooting apps on there so im not sure why the change but google play never used to be an option for that type of app.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Hi,

[MENTION=5124760]yochananmarqos[/MENTION] is right, you don't give enough details about your problem. You should provide error messages if there are some, give screenshots, logs, etc.

Otherwise, we have to make assumptions which is a waste of time. Please don't take this badly, I'm just trying to help :)

I use the "subscribed threads" column as a list of higher priority threads and the "participated threads" column as a list of lower priority threads that I still want updates from. It's a very handy way to organize and follow threads. Is there any way to remove certain threads(which you don't want to follow any more or you made that one odd post in that thread or posted in the wrong thread) from the "participated threads" column just like you can unsubscribe from threads? I bet it would be a useful feature to use these columns in this way.
[Android Apps and Games] elonus:
I agree that that would be a nice feature. It has already been suggested earlier so blk_jack already probably knows about it, but he might have forgotten since he's getting old :P blk_jack has also said that he will be focusing more on the labs part of the app in the future, instead of the forums part, so it might take a while for the feature to come.

Bug report using 1.0.6.1b debug.

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION], I know you've just said you don't work on forum part but I think it worths mentioning this below :) Maybe you already know this since there are known issues about posts quote rendering.

When we quote a post which includes embedded links (1st screenshot), those links are not shown as a link but as text (2nd screenshot).

But if we use "Copy text" feature, embedded links are well displayed (3rd screenshot).

I would like to know where the heck XDA Labs downloads apps because sometimes I find myself downloading an app and the installation failed because I forgot to turn Unknown sources on and then I have to redownload the whole app again. How about you show me in which folder you download the apks so I don't have to do these shenanigans. Same with the wallpapers, where the hell do they go? More transparency please.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Internal Storage -> Downloads -> XDA Labs
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
apks are downloaded here: internal storage > Android/data/com.xda.labs/files
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Strange, as this folder doesn't even exist for me, but the one within Downloads does. This is where XDA Labs has been downloading things to since the first day :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Maybe this folder doesn't exist because you haven't downloaded apps since the last time you installed XDA Labs.

About the folder within Downloads, it's where files from Forum part are downloaded (attachments, pictures, etc).
[Android Apps and Games] elonus:
No need to be rude...

Regarding wallpapers, there is no official way to download them at the moment. However, I posted a workaround earlier in the thread, if you search for posts by me in this thread you should find it.
[Android Apps and Games] Tanmoy Mitra:
I asked so bcoz the XDA senior members close most of the threads and there will not need for creating new threads like "my phone is not working "or" need a guide here.....".....imagine everyone online at xda can chat to each other and if i have any queries i can ask the chat where they can guide me without cluttering, messing and creating threads ..... You tell me that will not be it benificial. Also u can have a better chance of knowing people where 1000's of people can help each other..

Well i would like talking directly to XDA administrative Team about this suggestion/forum request....
[Android Apps and Games] Reptilez_DK:
Isn't this what IRC is for ? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Ah, yes, that's the point. The strange thing was that there were .apk files within Downloads -> Xda Labs, but I remember that those were attachements from their corresponding threads, not from the download section within XDA Labs itself.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Just an FYI, I'm in the process of adding Unknown Sources checks when a user starts a download in an upcoming version to help solve this for users who for some reason turn it off after.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Many people turn it off after needing it. Leaving it on let alone if you have root access is dangerous and dumb.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
If an app has root access that toggle doesn't do anything. Apps also need to have root access granted to them and installing apks though package manager (with unknown sources toggled) also prompts you. Let's not raise FUD on something that's not in itself a security hole.

EDIT: To clarify the toggle doesn't do anything comment, with root access Labs could install apps without being prompted or with Unknown Sources disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Well That is interesting to know for sure. Thank you.

I can see your module in XDA labs. For some reason, it's always the first module I see, though i dont use a sense rom.(is there a module recommendation system?)Though I can't find some other modules like "Android N-ify" using search(I can see it when I set it to display only installed modules). Are all xposed modules present in labs?
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
Decided to use the labs part of the app (to contribute to testing) instead of the forums (since that's not being worked on currently). The xposed repo part of the app is horrendously laggy. For example, I have to wait for more than 7 seconds to toggle between installed and all xposed modules. Couldn't see that in that known issues in post #2 anymore, so wanted to ask if anyone else has the problem and if logs are needed(if it isn't just me having the issue). I'm using cm13 on a oneplus2.
[Android Apps and Games] Mikanoshi:
Maybe because it was updated recently. Yes, it is in XDA Labs, but not on my developer page. They just have to transfer it to my account from wherever it is now.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
The user in this post had the same problem.

blk_jack answered this below. Maybe your lag issue is related to root. Did you grant root access for XDA Labs? Xposed section needs root.
