Continuing a conversation from the ADAway thread, if anyone has any questions

So I'm not seeing "mark all as read, for subscribed forums. It seems I've been obtuse and assumed it just wasn't there. Could somebody screen cap me where it is? It'll make me even closer to soley using Labs (for XDA, sadly I have other forums that still require it).

As for my 2nd issue, lack of ability to do crop after opening a picture to be uploaded before attaching, allow me to expand.

Within Tapatalk, if I attach photo/screenshot and choose my GoTo gallery app ("KK Gallery" because I dislike Photos organization methods, but the same occurs if I choose Photos) it allows me to crop the photo before upload. This is important as it let me strip my local time, notifications and other Personally-identifying information as well as saves readers of threads from being forced to see huge full size pictures when attempting to show only a little detail.

When doing the same action in Labs, I'm not given the opportunity it just uploads attaches whichever image I select immediately. Previous to our conversation I had not tried to open the picture in another app (specifically Photos), but, after [MENTION=770489]NYLimited[/MENTION] suggested it, I tried selecting open in photos and was still unable to crop pre-attach.

Be assured, I am quite aware that I could open the screenshot in gallery crop it then use attach...this is why I've never mentioned my issue in this thread.

I had been making some choices of convenience to solve these issues (for myself) , however I might as well make formal mention as it was brought up in public forum and I realllllly like Labs better than TpT.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
While looking at the list of "Subscribed tbresds" press and hold the thread till the 'eye' icon shows on top of the screen. Tap the 'eye'... Note this does not work on threads which do not have posts you haven't yet read.

Interesting idea. I don't often do images so haven't even thought of this. I'm not sure how this is done since the viewers (Quickpic, Photos, whatever) is seemingly put in pick mode rather than edit mode but it is an interesting idea for the suggestion box nonetheless...
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
Ok I see where your confusion lies. I don't want to mark individual subscribed threads read (I want to read them, of course lol). What I'd like (which maybe when Blkjack returns to working the forum section) is the ability to, once I've perused the threads i wish to checkout to mark an entire subscribed board as read.

Example

I subscribe to the entire xPosed board, I read and attempt to help, or learn from, as many threads as I can; however there are some newly posted in threads I can't do this, or that i show no interest in, thus (in order for OCD completeness) I must some way mark the rest of the threads marked, in mass.

The method described by [MENTION=770489]NYLimited[/MENTION] does not allow multi select (see pic 1)

Even if it did allow this there would be multiple taps in order to multi select.

TpT on the other hand has what I've pictured in pic 2 which marks the entire board as read (2 taps maximum)

P.s. On the image tip, labs does not seem to allow inline pictures which imho aid. However the way TpT does this is uploaded pics are actually img tags and uploaded to their server....which I hate.
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
[MENTION=5447130]Nergal di Cuthah[/MENTION]

I was meaning to post this as well..

I second this request. It would be much more convenient if we could select multiple threads to mark as read in a single go. And a mark all as read button.

Edit:

But I'm assuming blk_jack would have already thought of a basic feature like this and it hasn't been implemented because of some limitation in the API or something else. Maybe the new update will include the change?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Hi,

1- About "mark an entire subscribed board as read" suggestion, like mentioned by [MENTION=7134312]knpk13[/MENTION], there is an API limitation which doesn't allow to implement it. Related post HERE (see page 298 for the discussion).

2- About the inline attachments, there is also an API limitation but it has been considered and should hopefully implemented. Related post HERE.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Ah, I get it. I'm not as adventurous as you are I suppose. You are correct, I don't think that can be done in labs currently.

Yup, I did it a few times manually you inserting img tags but generally it isn't important enough for me to do it like that. Tapatalk took way too many liberties with images and url's and.. I would take extra time in the past and upload images to Dropbox or like place just so I don't use Tapatalk.. Did I mention that I do not like Tapatalk and green eggs and ham?

Well, some code may not be pretty but technically, even if there is a one item limitation, multiple threads could be flagged while the code could loop, one thread at a time..

Anyway, as the old saying goes: not my circus, not my monkey... Nice idea but I ain't coding. :angel:
[Android Apps and Games] vikasb32:
app is good but most of the time i can't download or upgrade anything.download progress bar in notification goes off itself and don't comes up also downloading speed is very slow(only in this app i m using 2mbps connection) browsing is ok i don't know why any solution?
[Android Apps and Games] e_M_c_E:
All downloads are stored in:

/your internal sd/Android/data/com.xda.labs/files

Just go there with some filemanager and install the apk by hand.
[Android Apps and Games] vikasb32:
I know the location but the problem is they never completed.it download few % like 20-30% then goes off
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You should read the whole page 418.

Also please check if DownloadManager is enabled and its storage permissions (if available).

If no luck to fix or understand the issue, blk_jack will need some logs from you :)
[Android Apps and Games] e_M_c_E:
Do as FLooDW says, and also try downloading with wifi. Sometimes with mobile Internet connection is something wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
This shouldn't happen. If you disable notifications within Labs (for BOTH Forums + Apps), it'll stop PushService when the app itself is removed from Android memory. The only exception to this is if you're using the Play edition, which has an issue where it won't remove PushService, though that is fixed and will be out in the next build.

Gonna need to see some logs IRT the Xposed issue. I run Xposed on a few devices and it works fine in all aspects (or I woulda fixed those issues, yanno). My only guess would be the Installer itself took over the permissions of the modules.conf file which causes an error when Labs tries to access it? Try uninstalling the Xposed installer and loading up Labs again? You might have to wipe data from Labs.

Gonna add a lil' note below as to what's in development right now

No vacation here I'm afraid, however I just got out of bed an hour ago due to having stomach flu the past 2 days :(

I do want to add this feature, but the single selection limitation is due to the original XDA One code. It's not a BIG deal, it just hasn't been a priority.

We're gonna need some logs [from you & others going forward] on these DownloadManager related issues. I personally haven't noticed it, but I have decent internet speeds/connectivity. If there's an issue w/ the backend servers, we can address that. If it's due to user internet quality, the notification on failed downloads could be a decent bandaid.

------------------

So I won't go into insane detail, but I'll post here what's in development right now and what you can expect in the very near future:

First off, there are some major backend changes that are

still pending

. It's out of my control but they're blocking a few features that are completed in the app. These include:

Signing key validation for app updates (no more false positives for apps w/ same package names

Android N refactoring for the AlarmManager tasks. This means more efficient push notification connectivity, etc.

Expanded notifications. More info on new PMs/Quotes/Mentions in the notification itself.

Independent of waiting on those backend changes, here's what's almost done right now and in final stages of testing:

My Device section. Easy access to the top threads/sections for your device (and more to come in the future)

In-thread search

Better integrated forums search

so both of these lists involve a lot of new backend services, which is what is taking awhile to make sure works.
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
Yay, more features! Thanks for letting us know.

By the way when you say "they", who are you referring to? How many people are involved in the development of this project? There are only 4 contributors listed in the OP.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Personally, I'd pick the vacation in Tahiti over stomach flu but, hey, whatever turns you on. :D

Have you tried some good Scotch whiskey for that?

It does nothing for the stomach flu but it sure makes you forget that you have it!

Appreciate the update, as always.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Of the 3 contributors who aren't me, 2 of them are the developers also working on the backend. They are also handling all the regular website systems & such so needless to say we all have a lot on our plates :)
[Android Apps and Games] Clark Joseph Kent:
Sir you d'a man! :highfive:

We just keep feeding them Snickers and Mountain dew, and they keep working...

No names are given out, to protect the not so innocent.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Finally an app update that is misbehaving! Logging, logging...

Just to clarify, I use adb logcat, open the Labs app, and then try to download the update, wait till it peters out and then stops, notification goes away, then I ctrl z the logcat (don't know any other way to stop it)?

Then I upload the log here?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
We all love the shadow workers. :cool: :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Yep, that's how it goes -- though make sure you're running the latest Debug build (from the Downloads section here or test builds in-app). When it comes to attaching logs, my favorite is to upload it to hastebin or something and link the URL rather than as an attachment. That way I can easily bookmark it, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Ohh I didn't know it was your favorite way. Sorry about my previous billion logs attachments :p
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Hmmm. I toggled the Labs tester option in settings, but nothing happened. Then I checked my app version, it already says 1.0.6.1b (debug), so I guess I'm good to go?
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
Of course we do. :highfive:

I didn't understand the "not so innocent" comment by [MENTION=4387744]Judge Joseph Dredd[/MENTION] though. :confused:

Yes you are. :)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I guess JJD meant what's below about our shadow workers:

Innocent = not involved

Then:

Not so innocent = Not so not involved = involved :D

In general, we're trying to "protect the innocent" but shadow Labs Contributors are not "innocent" about this project. JJD says we have to protect them though. :)

Please correct me if I'm wrong. If it's the case, I promise I'll go to sleep. :p
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
JJD has planted his stamp of approval so I guess you are correct, but do sleep anyway, it's 2:40AM here and I'm on the verge of collapsing and hitting something with my head but I need to get these ROM sources compressed for the guys who've been asking for them :angel:

And just don't remind me I have school at 7 AM
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Hmm.. This is like a multiple choice question.. Sometimes the choices confuse you, not the question itself!

:laugh: :fingers-crossed: :angel: :fingers-crossed: :laugh:​
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK, you're right anyway, deep sleep will start in a minute for me. :D

Btw, MSF Jarvis, first school, only after comes XDA :)

In furtherance of your mastery of adb regarding recording a concise logcat for debugging purposes, I highly suggest reading this Stack Overflow post.

Just downloaded this apps from Playstore and to my surprise i couldn't login into my xda account...i put my username and password correctly but keep getting invalid username/password...

You guys might wanna consider adding login option via email beside username...
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
There is an option to log in using your GMail account, through Google OAuth. Can you please grab logs while attempting to log in? May be something we can see in the logcat since I have not seen anyone report this as broken. And why do you need to download the ad-filled version anyway? (Other than downloading it for adding a 5 star rating of course :angel: )

Grab logs using the method described in this post.

Possibly unneeded, but finally found the time to add the XDA Labs sig. Loving it :)
[Android Apps and Games] iPusak Gaoq™:
Here the logcat....

Edit: Problem Solved
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Thank, I'd read that post already, but it raised more doubts. So, for further clarification, I do the same steps as mentioned in my previous post, except I first use logcat -c to clear the buffer first, then use logcat -d and then proceed?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Hi,

This is a known issue. Unicode characters are not handled in XDA Labs yet. In your username you have the little TM (a unicode character) which is displayed like in my screenshot in Labs. It's the same issue for login screen.

Related post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66352266&postcount=2519

2 solutions in the meantime of a fix:

- you can login via g+ button

- you can ask to change your username (only remove the TM) :p
[Android Apps and Games] iPusak Gaoq™:
does login via g+ will create new XDA account or i still can use this account?

i don't want to remove the (™) from my username :p
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
It will not create a new account. Don't worry :)
[Android Apps and Games] Trafalgar Square:
But he shouldn't forget to link his XDA profile on User control panel before. :)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Account association is automatically asked when we touch the G+ button, then permission validation and it's good to go. :)
[Android Apps and Games] MrWasdennnoch:
It's easier to just use "logcat" without any parameters, it's much quicker than waiting for the logcat to output and clear, then reproduce the bug, then logcat again. Without any parameters the logcat will be fetched constantly until you cancel it.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah now I'm confused. Which advice should I follow? Simple logcat or logcat -c and logcat -d? I've never done this before. Go easy on the little kid, please.
[Android Apps and Games] MrWasdennnoch:
Both ways lead to the same result, it's up to you to decide which one you want to take ;)

Also from what I've understood the SO post was just ment as a clarification about those two arguments and not as a recommended way of doing it.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Well, I'll be damned. The update succeeds! Everytime I sit there like a fool waiting for it to fail, it doesn't! Another logcat goes to waste. Sigh...
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Just for the record and to clarify the way the G+ login works, when you go to login via G+, all you're doing is giving XDA permission to request your email address, which tries to find an XDA account using that email address.

The process is like this:

Click the G+ icon

Choose a Google account

Grant permission

XDA servers are sent a token, XDA queries to find your email address (and ONLY your email address)

Your G+ email address is used to look up your user account

You get logged in

So it really just boils down to using your G+ (or, Google) account email on XDA. If you're using a different email address it won't match up & will try to get you to create a new user, but it's pretty obvious when that happens since it asks you for a [new] username.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Good morning blk_jack :)

OK, I'll record this. Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't precise enough.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
So like [MENTION=7083389]MrWasdennnoch[/MENTION] mentioned, getting a general logcat is the best way. The main risk with this is that if you're posting this log publicly, it can contain a lot of revealing information from other apps. Such as email addresses, etc. What a lot of people do is they start a logcat, open Labs (or whatever app), recreate their issue, immediately shut off the log, then open the log and filter out any personal information (search/replace for email, real name, etc).

So definitively, here's how I would capture a log for reporting (without fancy apps -- if you're using adb this is how you do it):

Note: You need to have a DEBUG build (Or test build) of Labs. You can tell if you're running a debug build or not by going to the About Labs section and looking for (debug) after the Build # at the very top.

Note 2: This assumes you can run adb from your command line / shell on your PC. If not, figure that out first OR find a terminal app (with root) that lets you load up a shell.

Note 3: You're going to want to only copy/paste or type the commands in bold. I hoped that would be obvious but you never know :/

Note 4: I'm assuming you're a windows user. Personally I run Linux and would pipe the logcat to my own PC and not the sdcard with -f

METHOD #1

> Only use this method if you've already experienced a crash and/or you're trying to capture the previous log

METHOD #2 (preferred if possible)

> Only use this method if you can recreate the crash/condition which you're reporting

After using either method, there will be a file in the root dir of your sdcard called

log-<DATE>.txt

. Open that file, make sure you see something that looks somewhat related to the type of data you're trying to capture, optionally scrub out any personal information, then upload to hastebin OR attach the .txt itself to a post.

In the future please do not post any support related questions regarding adb or logcat in here. If you're testing apps on XDA you should know how to do this and many threads, sites, etc likely have much better documented methods than this post :P
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
I'm clear on how to take that extremely elusive log by now, but really THANK YOU for the part about editing out personal info. The rest of it I either knew or doesn't apply (I'm on Linux and use adb from the terminal, hehe). Ctrl+Z ftw.

As for the part about relevant logs, I'm gonna search for com.xda.labs and work from there.
[Android Apps and Games] jlb1959.01:
Well on my vs985 12b rooted, I can not download, the by pass is impossible unless there is a trick that I miss, I can clear data but have no way to change or add permissions... Too bad, it has something to do with the recent update as it was working great, getting updates, upgrades etc, but nothing now...
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
Recent update? You mean two months ago when .06.1b was released?
[Android Apps and Games] jlb1959.01:
Yes, correct spell, I guess I should double read before I post, sorry. Yes updates showed just recently to a couple apps and I'm unable to do the upgrade, I'd have to check the apps for exact but I'm having a problem, maybe I'm doing something wrong to try and by pass?? I know that on 12b I'm unable to change or add permissions..

I think this has been reported before, but this has been happening much more frequently for me nowadays so I'm reporting it again just in case.

Many posts with multi quotes(or sometimes single quotes) like the one below don't appear properly in labs. I can see the quotes, but not the text written after it.(which is the actual post)

You're right, Ibuprophen is running djdarkknight96's version from HERE. I've installed and tested it and I have the same transparent stuff.

Then, [MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION], if you don't want this transparent header or other potential glitches (mainly on clear theme as mentioned by djdarkknight96 himself), just use official version from blk_jack :)
