Hey now. I'm supposed to be the guy who says read the OPs :). I think that is for a different scenario - that being problem installing apps (implying any/all apps) rather than one app only which is what I and others are experiencing with Sound Recorder. I am only having problem with that one APK, not with others through XDA Labs or others local to my device. I dont see how clearing data for the package installer could affect only that one app (is that somehow possible?) . Also that suggestion for permissions, which again implies any/all apps is for Marshmallow rather than CM12.1 (L5.1.1) which I'm running. All indications are that this is a problem with that particular APK.

[EDIT] Rounding out the testing, got same parsing error in KitKat VM which is also able to install other apks, inculcating XDA Labs which I had to install for the test.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I don't have to read the OP again (I know it well and AFAIK there is no mention to specific apk issues), instead I would have read your post more carefully. Sorry...
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
I was actually teasing myself for being a bit of a crank and was not implying in any way that should re-read the OPs, and I do appreciate the reminder:). As for this issue, I suppose I should just let the dev of the app know, unless there is some other SOP for removing a bad app from the collection.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK, I think I was literally sleeping when I answered you ALSO the second time :eek: :D

About the issue, I've tried to install the MSR app and I also have the parse error. I also tried to install from the downloaded apk stored in Android/data/com.xda.labs/files: still parse error. I've tried other apps and I don't have this problem.

Yes, I think you(we) should ask the dev of this app first.
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
The MSR app requires at least api 23, which is why I'm the only one who managed to install it.

Besides, it's com.android.soundrecorder, so I had to remove the soundrecoder I already had.

It's identical to the CM13 Sound Recorder, which was what I wanted in any case (I'm running AOSP 6.0 on my Doogie X5 Pro, no other custom Marshmallow Roms, I'd rather have CM13, no offence to the developer, which did an awesome job which I'm grateful for).

Pause FC's the app, which is to be expected, I probably don't have the proper libraries.

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] multi select on the participated threads section was sorely missed by me today. 16 long presses followed by another tap seem to be an unjustified waste of time.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Hey, thanks [MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION] for the test idea, thanks to you, I've found a little glitch while testing threads selection by long press :)

1. Long press a thread to highlight it.

You can see that the second thread on the list has (1st screenshot):

2. Long press another thread (the 2nd one in my example) and SOMETIMES the thread rating star disappears (or appears if wasn't present).

You can see that the second thread on the list has now (2nd screenshot):

It's like magic! :)

Here logs attached if needed, for blk_jack.

[Android Apps and Games] chris264:
Is it perhaps possible to completely switch the updates from, so that you issued the point. Otherwise, thanks for the great app.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You can already do this, at least for apps updates. Check the screenshots. :)
[Android Apps and Games] usvimal:
1. Is there a possibility of notifications for DevDb updates as well as specific thread updates being added?

2. Why does XDA Labs request for root access when all it is doing is just downloading an apk and installing it through package manager? Would it be possible to skip the package manager installation with root?

3. Searching within threads would be a good addition
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
XDA Labs only ever asked me for root on the Xposed Modules installer section so that it can enable them without forcing you to open the app. It doesn't use root to install the apk.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
We all agree! In-thread search is planned and blk_jack told he will work on it shortly! :)

And this makes me feel happy because I'm a big big user of in-thread search on XDA Website...... (and Tapa... unfortunately :))
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
It wouldn't matter even if you could in the app because the API doesn't support marking multiple threads as read at the same time.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Can't you implement some sort of loop to send out one request at a time when someone multi-selects threads to mark as read?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
We have big picture plans to integrate devdb into labs more, but in general authors of projects on devdb should put their projects up on labs. Obviously if it's not an app or mod you're out of luck at the moment.

Labs literally has a dialog explaining why it needs root before it asks for it the first time. From there you can deny it from asking for root indefinitely.

I don't know what happened but I guess you missed it.

Like mentioned, read the OP IRT in-thread search.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
No. I'm not going to add a hack. Be realistic.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
It would help if you replied to posts to which you are referring as that helps separate the various sub-discussions occurring in the thread.;) To your point, not just the same as the one in CM13 but also seems the same as the one in a non CM Marshmallow Genymotion VM I tested (although I did not attempt to install it there and the Genymotion VM would probably balk at downloading it as it expects drag and drop from PC desktop). In any event there does seem to be a problem with that APK on KK and L and I'll report it to the dev when I have a chance.

Also... using this post to again sample for onion/reality check about possibly flagging pending updates to system apps as such in XDA labs, although even if that were possible I expect there might be little interest.

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

I can do that when I have a chance but frantically chasing a bizarre hardware issue on my device today.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
So as Labs has grown and more apps have been uploaded, you guys might have started noticing certain apps showing up as already-installed when you in reality have never installed them. In particular I mean Material Sound Recorder, the What'sApp mod, CM email, open play services, etc. Since these apps are using package names of existing apps (in some cases inappropriately so, other cases out of necessity), they show up as updates. If you have that package installed under a different signature, it will fail to update.

So this is obviously a problem and I wanted to make it clear that we'll be coming up with a solution very soon. We're in the process of adding a signature field in the backend which will keep track of an app's signing key. That way if an app is using the same package name but the signatures don't match, it won't show as installed for users.

In the meantime you can hit the little crossed out circle in the Apps section and ignore updates from said apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Black-FR:
I don't really know, how it happened and I can't provide a log.

But maybe someone could reproduce it....

I can't see this thread anymore in labs:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=66641820

The thread did disappear from my favorite and participate topics, after I answered the second time.

Might be, that the post merging of xda did confuse labs and did lead to it, that I don't see the thread anymore.

I can't even see it with labs, while I open the subforum.

If I open xda via tapatalk or the browser, I could see and access the thread, without issues.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Just sayin'. Temporary mitigation :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Thanks for the explanation. What about possibly flagging pending updates to system apps as system apps in XDA Labs? Even though that might be a moot point for the Sound Recorder app it might matter for things like Play Store and perhaps other Google bits that might be installed as sytem or non system apps on different devices depending on which gapps package was used.
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
I try to, however going through what others wrote in order to write specifically what I am replying to, to make the post cleaner (I'm a perfectionist) is a chore, so when my post is right after said posts I just reply with a new post instead of clicking on 'reply'.

I have never seen that sound recorder app in a pure 6.0 AOSP rom, only in CM and other custom roms.

Although I hadn't seen many marshmallow roms yet.

By the way, I used MiXplorer to determine the API requirement and the package name of the sound recorder app.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
+1 I subscribed to that thread (only to test this) and sure enough, it appears in PC web browser and XDA premium app but not in XDA labs."Subscribed Threads".
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
What do you mean? System apps aren't special. You can update a system app by installing a regular apk. The problem is if the signatures differ.
[Android Apps and Games] Black-FR:
For me it's now visible again in labs, since someone else did post there...
[Android Apps and Games] elonus:
If you press back one more time, you should get back to your previous activity.
[Android Apps and Games] paour:
I know, but that's now how Android apps behave. http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/navigation.html
[Android Apps and Games] GROGG88:
Why is this app requesting SU permissions?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-VLAAq_pwdYdnA2LU1TbXVKbmM/view?usp=docslist_api
[Android Apps and Games] Wyneg:
I think to be capable to install apps and xposed modules... doesn't?
[Android Apps and Games] GROGG88:
It made the request while attempting to view apps. I haven't even used the xposed section...
[Android Apps and Games] EternalFlame:
Hmm that's very odd mate, maybe re-installing the app helps ?

I got this when i tap on the Xposed tab... otherwise it doesn't ask for root in any way, using XDA Labs since a few days.
[Android Apps and Games] Wyneg:
I think (again) this is assuming you could install some recommended app from xda labs list.
[Android Apps and Games] GROGG88:
Modules and apps do not need SU permissions to install. Only xposed framework would require such. There is no reason this app should be asking for those permissions...
[Android Apps and Games] Wyneg:
Yep, that is true, only xposed framework, really I don't know, maybe app developer can give a satisfactory response...
[Android Apps and Games] GROGG88:
Xposed installer handles enabling and management of modules. This app should have no play in that role. There should also be an option to disable the xposed tab all together for those that don't use/care about it...
[Android Apps and Games] EternalFlame:
Agreed.

Even if i use and care about it. :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Hi,

About hiding/disabling some parts of the app, devs are working on it, it's planned. You can see it in post #3 ROADMAP :

About root permission even when we don't go in Xposed tab, maybe "AUTO-update apps" coming feature is the reason... (also In ROADMAP)
[Android Apps and Games] EternalFlame:
Nice !

Please also consider to get rid of the 8 thanks per day limit like in XDA Premium for instance. TIA :)
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
I wouldnt count on that. Even though thanks count is pretty much a running joke and means alot of nothing. The limit was put in place for a reason and the unlimited thanks was a glitch on Tapatalks end.
[Android Apps and Games] EternalFlame:
Cool, but i do not care for the thanks count either, more like

- if somebody mention/quote me and you just thank him instead of cluttering the thread with a "thanks" (The reason why it exists?)

- the person knows i read his/her comment

- you can also use it as an indicator if someone is in your opinion

Why not prioritize it to Senior Members and above only, or something like that, i read a lot on XDA and a lot of awesome people deserve that dayum thanks IMHO :D

Nevertheless i hope you understand and have a nice day ;) :beer:
[Android Apps and Games] DonkeyAlex:
Thanks, very interesting, in downloading it right now
[Android Apps and Games] Geo_Tech:
[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] would you please give an option to choose what version releases we follow in Xposed section Alpha/Beta/Stable, like it is in Xposed official app, if its possible.

If other users find this request a good idea give the post a push and do it for other request's too, so we wont repeat same request's.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Yea you're right, it shouldn't ask for root. The only reason it should is if you're in the Xposed tab and even then it explains why it asks for root.

The only thing I can think of is that it will TRY to write the permissions of the Xposed modules.list file if it sees the Xposed Installer installed, but again that should be contained to Xposed only. So I'm not sure without more info really.

This is already implemented, man. See the attachment.
[Android Apps and Games] Geo_Tech:
I think that is implented only when you want to download and install a module there you have a choice, but when an alpha release comes out i get notification that i should update. For example i have installed Xposed stable and in "App/Xposed Updates" section i have a notification that tells me to update to the experimental release.

I know mentioning something like this is a small notice but i am aiming the details, or maybe i am mistaken and its working some other way. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
The reason that's showing up as an update is because the stable version isn't in the database. Here's what happens.

Say you have installed the stable (pre-Labs) and the listing in Labs shows a stable and an alpha. It will detect that your stable matches the database's stable and only show you updates for stable releases.

I believe since it doesn't know what version you're running it's just offering up a newer one, regardless of the channel. That said, having the Installer in there altogether is not a good idea and we should move it to the apps list. I may do that today :)
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
The concern is not the ability to install an update but rather the ability to walk it back in case it goes awry, which woud make it advantageous for people to know if they are about to update a system or user app.

Apart from restoring a nandroid it is harder (sometimes impossible) to walk back updates to some system apps/components once they have been installed, especially Google bits that were initially installed as system apps by a large gapps package; as opposed to the same components being installed as user apps when smaller gapps packages that did not include them were used. eg Google Search app might be a system app on one device and a user app on another. Where it is a system app people might want to pause to create a nandroid before updating it, hence my suggestion.

One notable instance of this (admittedly a while ago) was an update to a google services component that introduced wake-locks to many devices, and previous version could not be restored from TiBU (or other backup utility) so people had to revert to a nandroid if they had one. I could see something similar happening with the pending Playstore update or others like it.

Likewise. db refresh tickled by post?

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

Maybe a matter of perspective. IMO it disjoints the sub-discussion especially in email notifications and requires that people to remember every post. Puts the chore on other peoples tables;) There is a reason it is called a thread. :) Anyhow - off topic.

[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Thanks, I'll try to mend my ways.

I don't understand.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Just that the linked post described how it is being addressed as well as providing additional detail.
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Did you mean the name of the app?

Since I thought that you had meant specifically that app.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
I could not explain it any better than [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] did in that post (and we are posting a lot about something that no longer really matters so I'll stop at this one).
[Android Apps and Games] WelcomeToTheSkye:
Is there any way to fix mentions inside a links?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Does anyone face this problem?

1. Search for a post with the Google app

2. Tap on the post and open it with XDA Labs

3. XDA Labs says it fails to parse URL

4. Back out to the Google app again

5. Tap on the post again

6. It works fine
[Android Apps and Games] jwds1978:
I currently have 1.0.4.7b installed and XDA Labs is showing an update is available for itself.

When I tap the menu entry to update, it downloads, but my phone reboots when actually installing/updating. I've tried several times with the same result. I've never had an issue with previous updates.

Anybody else having issues installing this update?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Crash report link? Crashes automatically get sent to me.

That

crash was already sent to me. It says so on the crash dialog page.

Not only does it explicitly say that the log has been sent to me, but if you select Share Error (which you did), and, this is NEW as of this build, it has a confirmation dialog that makes sure you really want to share it.

So you read through 2 screens and did exactly what it told you not to do as well as completely ignore the fact that this log has already been sent to me.

So I

need

to know. Are you trolling me? Are you blind? Or do people just not read anymore?

I'm 100% serious. Do I need to get rid of the ability for users to see/share the crash message?! I'm completely blown away. I mean it's mostly in the app as kind of a cool thing to have so that you can see the stacktrace for yourself without adb or a log viewer. Maybe I just need to make it an inline textbox that you can't share, but you know if I did that people would just be taking screenshots of it and posting it here anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
More people who can't read?
[Android Apps and Games] :
I've never requested the developers to fix it. I merely asked if anyone else had the same problem.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Uh huh, you still need to post a log. I shouldn't have to explicitly say that, it should be obvious. It bums me out that it's not.
[Android Apps and Games] :
The rules clearly state that I only have to post a log if I'm requesting for the issue to be fixed.

I've never requested the developers to fix it. I merely asked if anyone else had the same problem.
[Android Apps and Games] jwds1978:
Perhaps, not. Maybe, I am illiterate. What of it if I am?

Anyhow, I'm unable to debug anything at the moment. Quite simply, if others were having an issue. I'd not asked you for any direct support. I, quite simply, enquired as to whether anybody else had such an issue at present; if it's just me.

Regardless, since you seem to have a stick up your arse, don't trouble yourself.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I'm the one how posted those rules and I'm elaborating on them. My point was that it should be obvious but I guess now I'll have to update the OP and put a bunch of clauses in. :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] nathanchance:
Then what is the point of the post at all? Why post about an issue if you aren't expecting it to be fixed? It clutters the thread because you incite me too posts which most likely will not include the necessary information to fix it as well and it drowns out the people who do want their issues fixed. Just a thought.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Ironically the entire reason I want logs is because I do trouble myself. That's the point, right? I get logs so I can comb through code, bugs in Android itself, you name it, to fix issues. The entire point is to make the app better. I wish it wasn't so painful to have some users help out. A lot, in fact, the majority of users who regularly report issues in this thread are incredibly helpful and as a result the app is better for their efforts.

I apologize if my expectations were too high for you to accommodate.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
This is entirely right.

What happens is people ask open ended questions and you get 2 pages of people responding yes/no instead of 1 post with a log that I can easily address and respond to.

EDIT: One more thing I should also remind users of.. As much as I mention posting logs for issues you want to report, this holds most true for users of test builds.

1.0.5 is going to be out later today and the fixes section of that changelog is massive. That's due to user feedback and issue reports from test builds released since 1.0.4.

If you want to be a tester and run the test builds, that's great! but please keep in mind they're test builds for a reason.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You are great blk_jack! :highfive: :D

Check the highlighted item of 1.0.4.8b changelog to understand why I'm happy.
[Android Apps and Games] Maxr1998:
Well, I also found it a bit confusing in past that there's still the share button although the text says it had been sent. So, just to be sure, I still most times uploaded the log here. But now, with the extra dialog, it's pretty obvious..

Only just noticed it, congratulations on your new forum moderator status!
