I really appreciate the hard work behind this amazing app. I'm curious though. Is there some sort of approval process for apps. I think the first time I posted an app it showed up instantly but I just posted a couple more of my apps about 8 hours ago and it still has not shown up. The app is Lucid Browser. You can search the app within XDA labs but when you click on it, it says the app has been removed. Did something change? Should I expect this or is it a know issue. May be just me but I don't think I've seen many new apps recently. Thanks again and I apologize if this has already been mentioned, It is not in the known issues section.
[Android Apps and Games] Minto107:
Yay can confirm, downloading/updating works perfect on my S3, will check on G4 when I'll be back from vacation ;)
[Android Apps and Games] AreOh:
Why has there been the change where threads you've been to before are now starting from page one, post one? Only threads that are subscribed will jump to the first unread.
[Android Apps and Games] myrul:
Because it's an intended feature. You can change this behaviour in setting. The reason for this feature when somebody check the thread (not subscribed thread) for the first time, it's natural that the user read the OP first.
[Android Apps and Games] AreOh:
I don't see the option in settings. There's either go to the first post on the first page, or straight to the last page.

I'm sorry if someone asked this before...just note this as a reminder

Can we please get an option to edit thread title?

Its really needed to change the ROM versions/date
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Yeah this should be pushed up the to-do list sir, important improvement right there.
[Android Apps and Games] elonus:
That is just for new threads you haven't read before, AreOh means threads you have been to before.

I can confirm this. If you enter a thread that you have read earlier but has not got any new posts since then, it will not go to the last unread post, instead it will follow the choice you made when choosing how to view new threads. I would think it more intuitive that it would instead go to the last page, no matter what you have chosen in settings for new threads.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
The API doesn't and has never tracked user read status in non subscribed threads. The only change was now it defaults to the first page instead of the end.

I've reverting the default back in the next version. Too many confused individuals apparently :(
[Android Apps and Games] elonus:
Ah, i see. I myself also prefer going to the first post when reading a new thread, and also think that it would probably be good as a default, to encourage users to read the OP. But it does seem to confuse people :p
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
You have no idea. So many complaints and bad ratings on the play store version alone because of it.

Something I'd like to see

* Be able to share a post link

* Be able to post/reply on the portal

* "Open in browser" option should open the page you are in
[Android Apps and Games] MrWasdennnoch:
When you long click a post there is also an option to share a link to the post in the toolbar.
[Android Apps and Games] koyo:
Have to make sure it installs for you too.

I figured out XDA Labs only downloads the APK but doesn't install it, so it's a package installer problem (found this out by searching the problem). Unfortunately based on my search, it seems really hit and miss. The devs got it fine and most users but a small minority of us have problems with it.

Its weird cause XDA Labs works in all aspects on my HTC Desire 626S, but not my Alcatel One Touch Conquest
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
If you can get me logs from what Android is telling you, I can work with that. But yea, like you said, if you disable/mess w/ PackageManager you're gonna have a bad time.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
In addition to MrWasdennnoch's answer, about opening a specific page through "Open in browser", reading this answer from blk_jack linked below tells me it won't be easy:

[Android Apps and Games] MrWasdennnoch:
I noticed an issue with the ordering of reserved posts, noticeable in the Android N-ify thread here: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/xposed-android-n-ify-features-t3345091

When I created the post I added one reserved post (#2). Some weeks ago I added a second reserved post which got added as the 2nd post so that the original 2nd post got moved to the 3rd place. I swapped the contents of the posts so that the new reserved post (#2) shows the content of the now 3rd old post (you can also tell this by the thanks count, the original one has more).

So far so good, in the web browser it displays properly, but in Labs both posts are swapped: The 2nd (new) post is being shown in the third place and the 3rd (now old) post as the 2nd one.

I don't know what causes this, looks like the Labs API orders it differently, and it's not a huge issue, although still a bit confusing.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
[MENTION=5641921]Naman Bhalla[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6311143]Trafalgar Square[/MENTION] already noticed this issue in a private chat and blk_jack already knows it.

Remove the OP quote from your post and your request would be gladly considered *AFTER* you search through the thread and realize that these reports without your phone's model number are as useless as the clown sitting in front of McDonald's.
[Android Apps and Games] ibrokemypie:
bug: cannot clink links in xposed app descriptions
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
The links are not parsed as such by Labs apparently, so they're not supposed to be clickable until that changes
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
In the new version in Italian I get "Modofica il tuo dispositivo", it should be "Modifica il tuo dispositivo".

Also the device detection isn't fixed although stated in the changelog.
[Android Apps and Games] MrWasdennnoch:
You can edit the translation in the crowdin project that is linked somewhat early in the second post. If you haven't posted your device details yet you'll have to do so, otherwise it can't be fixed. Easiest way is to post your build.prop here.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Good to see people helping out while FLooDW is on an (unauthorized:p) vacation and I'm grappling with school. You guys rock!
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Like MrWasdennnoch mentioned, you can modify the translations yourself on crowdin (see OP). As for device detection, your device is detected properly. The problem is the backend is missing some devices.

So it's a two fold problem where even if it detects properly it can not show up in the backend listing.

I emailed our backend guys about this last week but evidently they weren't able to add Galaxy Ace before the release of this build. Once they add it it'll show up in the app but until then it's entirely out of my control.

The changelog said some device detection fixed. I'm flattered you think that meant I magically fixed detection of all devices, but the emphasis is on "some". In the future I'll avoid mentioning any small changes to device detection to avoid confusion.
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
I have already posted it.

Edit: [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] Sorry, I didn't mean to accuse you, I just thought you were adding some code to override the detection library for special cases.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Again it's not the app in this case. Via the web click on search plus and search for Galaxy Ace. The results are the same as Labs. It's just missing the device in the DB.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
The API (at least v1) actually predates Labs and was built for XDA One. The explorer site isn't hidden per se but I'm not sure if it's actually linked on the site anywhere. :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Sneaky little <insert-IRC-only-"ba"-word-here>! :D
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
That's the point, it is wrong to search for "Galaxy Ace" since it is generic, I think it should search for "Galaxy Ace S5830" or "Galaxy Ace S5830i" to get the exact model.

Both S5830 and S5830i map to Galaxy Ace in the library but I think it should include the exact model in the search query.

Via the web click on search plus it works with the correct query.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
The device section for the Ace 1 and 2 on XDA is generic (and covers multiple devices).
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
Yes, but with the exact model search it go to the correct combined section instead with only "Galaxy Ace" it point to "Galaxy Ace 3".

Plus in case they get separated (or not) then the search query would be correct in both cases.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yes, I also have this sometimes. It has already been reported HERE in post #216 by [MENTION=4358209]theminikiller[/MENTION]. I don't know if it's the same case but It should have been taken into consideration since [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] thanked his post :)
[Android Apps and Games] chefbaker11:
I apologize sir....just got on and still catching up on the reading. My bad
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
No problem mate. :)

However, do you think your issue is the same as theminikiller's one ? Does it match with his description ?
[Android Apps and Games] chefbaker11:
Absolutely. Same issue lol.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Yea I've seen that issue a number of times here too. It seems to stem from the original XDA One's network request code. Sometimes the responses aren't shown and the container isn't refreshed. I haven't looked too much in it yet, but you can kind of work around it by just touching the screen or slightly moving left/right to the other pagers. :p
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Hey all, so we're contemplating using analytics (not google and we're still figuring out which we'd even use) in the app.

The reason for this is as we grow we want to know what areas users use most to dedicate the most time/energy towards that. Right now we don't track anything at all related to the users in terms of analytics so we're really flying blind and are kind of doing what we "feel" is right based on the feedback we've been getting.

So how do you guys feel? Do you hate analytics? Are you okay with it if it makes sense? We're trying to figure that out. I've put up a poll and would appreciate the votes and feedback you have regarding it!

Also if you're partial to a certain library/service for analytics feel free to give it a shout out here.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] mikereidis:
I'm OK with analytics, but I'd want to know what information you are gathering, and how often.

But,... Please don't go by analytics alone. Most posts here are from people using the Forums features and few are using the Apps store features.

But, as a developer with an app that Google refuses to allow on Play, I'm very happy to have the Apps store feature and I think it's becoming VERY important as Google bans more and more apps from Play, for increasingly arbitrary and self interested reasons.

Google keeps tightening the screws on app (especially root) developers and we desperately need more open app distribution methods.

Thanks ! :)

[Android Apps and Games] elonus:
I might just be stupid, but when I go to the quotes and mentions tab or somewhere else in the forums, I can't seem to find a way to get back to the subscribed/favorite view without exiting the app and opening xda forums again. Before there was a tab for it in the menu, but now it seems to be gone.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
In 0.59a, we had "XDA Forums" in side panel, like this:

Now in 0.60a, "XDA Forums" has gone, that explains why it's more difficult to go there :)

For now, depending where you are in the app, you can use back key of your phone or use the combo which is red squared:

You are right and not stupid, something has changed :)
[Android Apps and Games] elonus:
Ahh good, thought I was blind. Will try your suggestions, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
That said, I think it's not normal it has disappeared (?)
[Android Apps and Games] elonus:
I don't know, but if it is intentional, I would suggest adding an easier way to get back to the forum.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Yea this is intentional. The navdrawer is more a center for calls to action. Where as the dropdown is meant to let you navigate the hierarchical sections of the app.

I think in general if you're used to using the navdrawer to switch between forums (like I was), using the dropdown takes at least a few days to really get used to, but for example I've been testing it now for over a week and the dropdown seems more natural (to me). At any rate the previous method didn't let you flip from Forums -> XDA Labs, unless you clicked the "Apps/Xposed updates" line, which applies a filter, wasn't as consistent and not clear to new users.

This way it's more consistent across a larger majority of the app.

It's not set in stone yet and things may change, but think of it this way. Before you'd have to swipe the navdrawer and press Forums, now you press the dropdown and press Forums. It's a different way of switching between the two main sections of the site with the same amount of actions.

In a perfect world it's even more seamless than that, but the reality is that the app has 2 major separate sections and we're still trying to figure out an approach that works well. I'm personally partial to more of an icon -somewhere- that kinda toggles, but that's not the most intuitive approach.

EDIT: I may change the behavior when hitting Back while viewing Quotes/Mentions, but it's tough to decide what to do. On one hand, if you're browsing Xposed and just want to read a new PM, hitting back should take you back to Xposed and not to the root of Forums... but on the other hand maybe that's what you want?

EDIT2: Er, hitting Back in Quotes/Mentions takes you to Forums.. did you try that [MENTION=4358209]theminikiller[/MENTION] or was it just not intuitive? I'm trying to understand the process in order to improve the user experience and not just putting you on the spot ;)

EDIT3: I personally don't like the look of Android's built in PopupMenu and would love to switch to a slicker, smoother type of dropdown that just slides down and remains flush/the same color as the title bar..

[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
It's perfectly large and placed at a precisely measured height. You have no idea how many times [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]'s girlfriend had to eat her dinner alone because he was measuring up his Z3 to see how many pixels would be the correct elevation for the FAB, or exactly how many dp is the perfect width of a button :p

Seriously now, the rating system works by checking if you have the app installed, if yes, you get the add rating button. Click on it, choose the stars, fill in your comments, and hit the button. Boom, you made someone's day (if you gave him a 5 star rating)

P.S. Kidding about the girlfriend part, he's a good guy :)
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Sorry, I'm just not used to the ratings system, since I'm so used to downloading things manually, (or through Xposed).

And I'm pretty sure that blk_jack is married. :)

But there is no denying that he is definitely a good guy.

By the way, I'm curious, which device do you use, blk_jack?
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Z3 and Z3 Compact Tablet. Sony fanboy to the core :D
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:

Not meaning to insult, I'm just genuinely confused.

And I also would have loved to buy a Sony handset (although I don't really like those bezels, it's for the near-Nexus possibilities, plus removable storage), however they are insanely expensive, at least in my country (~33% import taxes does not help the consumer, either).
