Share button for thread or post was creating links that deferred the setting to go to last unread post.

[EDIT] I notice that the link you used as an example did not do that and think the issue is in the particular thread I'm working in which already has problems with the post index. After post 3 of that thread individual post links go to wrong post but that is not an XDA Labs issue. Thanks for the reminder.
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
Weird, my link takes me to your (original) post.

I added a picture to my post above
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Same here. (I was editing as you were posting). There is an issue in the particular thread I was working in which has always affected any posts after the first 3 in the XDA free app, and in this case seems to be affecting attempts to link using the share feature (so I used this as a workaround http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66809993&postcount=3367 to create a direct link to post 1). Not an XDA Labs issue. Thanks for the advise.

1. The copy to clipboard feature can be enabled in the XDA Labs settings - see screenshot

2. You can attach pictures (and files) using XDA Labs, as I did here.

I use email too and was actually reading my work email when I posted that. Push notifications for selected threads would be cool, but I'm not really disrespecting email. You'll find only about 5% of my posts are serious. In fact, maybe this post isn't serious. :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
In my case a copy to clipboard feature was enabled by the app Mixplorer, the FAQ for which was ironically the thread I was working in and which has something funky about its own post index :).

Well, I was going to reply to you that your comment about emails was very surprising coming from a moderator for the fact that it was clearly a call for trolls.

Glad you clarified the situation but you sure did make me feel old by calling email an ancient tech...

:p

But thanks for bringing old memories of my first bachelor (Physics BSc) degree (era when I sent my first email) when a friend studying in computer science hacked his roomate's school lab account from his place with modem: that was a day of my life that left quite an impression...

Lol someone is watching too much GoT.

My original intent was to reply to your question on if there were any other ways to share a specific post's link and what I had in mind so far was: morse code/Telegraph, smoke signals, Pony Express, a long human chain of telephone game and the always available snail mail. Pigeon was probably be next in line, but you beat me to it....

[Android Apps and Games] LucasUruguay:
Exactly. Like you see, my english its not perfect :(
[Android Apps and Games] Bartws95:
For some reason I can't get the app to work smoothly. When I have app updates to download, it will only allow me to press and download one or two of them before becoming unresponsive. Also, once an APK is downloaded, the package installer for some reason never finishes the app install unless I press the home button and wait for a few minutes. Would it be possible to just directly download the APK files to a folder on the device and then manually install them?
[Android Apps and Games] guitardoc64:

I have finally uninstalled that garbage tapatalk and using this as my primary app for forums and checking threads!

Also another thing is when going into a thread the colors dont show for the sentences or words with [color] [/color] in them. That's the only things i have noticed so far.

Just pushed out 0.58a guys, changelog in OP / app. We're still tweaking the load after a new release comes out (the way it rebuilds cache, etc), so bear with us :)

As always, please install the debug build and grab logs if you encounter issues. This release is admittedly more of a bug fix build.

What's coming up next:

Edit post

Auto-saving drafts for new posts/edits

Switching between forums / apps made easier

and in the near future after that

Push notification configuration and additions for PMs, quoted/mentions, etc

Images / Attachments

Search within thread

Much more!

I do understand that distinction and posed the "question" (and as you've noticed it wasn't really a question) to maintain the distinction because in some previous posts, answers about email notifications were being posted to questions about the android status bar notification which were my original concern in regards to notifications about PM, quote, mentions and new posts. As usual thanks for teh links to additional information. :)
[Android Apps and Games] LucasUruguay:
I just note that they are in some. The first page I see them well, the second already not.. The font that you see, i can see it. You understand? :confused:.

The problem is with the others
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK now I understand.

I've checked and I have the same issue. Here in my screenshot.

But I think it's related to threads where there are a lot of images to load. Maybe related to memory handle.

In any cases, I've attached logs about this images which fail to load if it could help blk_jack.

As a reminder, the link here below for tests. At the end if this post, images fail to load: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=63178539

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] search didn't bring it up, some requested to hide the xposed section. My feature request for this great piece of software would be the same possibility as in the app section, be able to hide specific xposed module. Basically the same function as for apps, just for xposed modules.

No offence, but I actually prefer it to be seperate.

No getting confused by the different purposes.

However, I will defer to whatever side more people prefer.

XDA Labs still notifies me that there's a new XDA Labs update even if I already have the latest test version. I update by sideloading the APK from the Downloads tab of this thread using the browser..
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Does it happen always each x hours/days for instance or only 1 time since you updated through downlownd tab?

I already had this 1 time only, check step 2 of this POST.

If you have steps to reproduce and if you can grab logs running 1.0.6.1b debug version, it will be helpful, as usual :)
[Android Apps and Games] vjtigas:
It already happened two times. It's not really an issue for me, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
This sounds like an issue with package installer on your ROM/device. What you're suggesting, with labs downloading the file and then running the installer on the downloaded APK is exactly what happens right now.

Labs doesn't have a magical install app component, it merely points package installer to the downloaded APK and is handled entirely by Android.

In stable version 1.0.6.1b, I couldn't update AdAway. It downloads, installs and shows a message that app wasn't installed. Updating via F-droid works normally.

LG L90 D405n, CM 13 20160331 nightly.

Wonderful app, tough.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Uninstall your current version before trying to install labs version.
[Android Apps and Games] DoctorRzepa:
Thanks for help.

Are there differences between labs and f-droid verions? Signature? Just being curious.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
There are differences between the "official" version of Adaway (which is available in the Adaway thread and in XDA labs) and the Adaway versions in f-droid which are not official. This is described many times in the AdAway thread. I have successfully updated the "official" version of AdAway using XDA labs. The Adaway versions on F Droid and the ones baked into some ROMs are often the cause of such issues, perhaps due to the signature issues as [MENTION=770489]NYLimited[/MENTION] described.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Probably no functional differences but likely a different signature on the apk.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
From what I've read in the Adaway thread there might be some differences underneath the hood even if not in the user interface. That being said, what Adaway does is fairly basic and there should not be that much difference, as you say. In any event it is probably best to use the versions of AdAway posted in the Adaway thread.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
If I recall correctly fdroid does not directly publish an APK online. Fdroid uses a buildable source to build the APK from. This way the server guarantees that the resulting APK accurately represents the source code but it also yields a different signature. This is the way they used to operate though they may have changed things since I last looked.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Having doubled back to the Adaway thread I stand corrected (not that I didn't believe you in the first place:)). That (signature) is exactly what the issue is, and the same thing would happen if it was updated in the reverse direction, from Adaway/XDA Labs to Fdroid.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Hey, sometimes I don't even believe myself.. I've heard that at my age memory is the second thing to go..... ;)
[Android Apps and Games] guitardoc64:
I had no issues with updating Adaway, but I had the xda thread version.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Correct. With that or the old Google Play version you would not see any problems.
[Android Apps and Games] tag68:
As it is currently discussed anyway, I'd like to suggest some mechanism which I thought of in the adaway thread some time ago.

Xda labs manages the updates and calls the installer. It currently does not, but could check the signatures before calling the installer. Just an additional hint "signatures are different, do you really want to call the installer?" would be the first step.

The advantage would be that people are aware of the signature difference. The Android installer does not prominently display detailed information, just shows that update failed. Users will mention the hint when asking in adaway thread which may help supporting. There are circumstances where the signature gets changed, so no other difference in behavior.

Second step: For apps developed in xda (or maybe others too) the developers could add information for xda Labs if they know something about the signatures.

This could be to add the f-droid and official xda signature of adaway. If one wants to change from one to the other the hint would be like "to switch between F-Droid and xda versions of adaway please export your lists if you need a backup, uninstall the current version and install it using xda Labs.

Third step: uninstall and install can be done guided by Xda Labs. The steps could be individual per app if the informations what is needed is provided by the developer.

I'm not sure if the idea is good, and it seems that currently no other app market of significance than F-Droid does have the same app using a different signature. So if the idea is good it may not be worth the effort.

Before the discussion in the adaway thread I thought that people compiling and distributing some open source app need to change the path (eg fdroid.org.adaway) so it will be handled as a different app.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
I'm not sure but perhaps this "App signature check to prevent false-positive updates" from the roadmap in OP3 of this thread speaks to the matter. Also... Fdroid who?;)... For reasons of loyalty rather than logic I favor the primary maintainer in a case like Adaway and dont want to use the app as compiled, re-packed or re-signed elsewhere.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
I suppose it could but wouldn't save much time or effort..

This would not be ethical, or very safe. Think of it this way: the system a developer uses to create the apk (such as Android Studio) requires him/her to "sign" the compilation or work (the apk) identifying the creator.

If I download the source from, say, github, I can change and put it together but odds are i cannot sign it creating the identical signature. Consider what could happen otherwise. I could put together a new Adaway or most any other app after modifying it to send any credit card number and password you enter to me. With the same signature you could grab it, install it and be comfortable with a trusted developer's "update" , never suspecting foul play.

Possible? I suppose. If I was xda I wouldn't do it considering the above (and possible liability) but from a programming point of view it could be done I guess.

Another good point in favor of keeping the status quo.
[Android Apps and Games] tag68:
You did not get my point I'm afraid. When adaway disappeared from the Play store, the only way to get automatic updates was F-Droid. I installed F-Droid only for adaway! When reading adaway thread, it feels for me like every second question is caused by F-Droid version.

I'd like to have people who used F-Droid because adaway was removed from Google Play store to be guided to the official version. Many users (like me before xda Labs came out) are not aware that F-Droid version is not provided by the original author.

I did only suggest to let xda Labs know something about which signature is owned by which author. By default only telling "I don't know something about these signatures but they are different", and in case of adaway knowing the signatures concerned and how to behave to get from F-Droid to xda. This is ethical and safe.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
You are right. I misunderstood your point about different signatures. More information being given couldn't hurt, assuming blk_jack wanted to do the extra work. :D
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
I did get your point but am willing to forgo the convenience of automated updates and install manually, a method which also yields an opportunity to better vet the update before installing it.

Yes, exactly, and this is the fault of Fdroid, due to the fact that they deliver the app with a different signature thereby taking it further from it's designated support path which is the Adaway XDA thread. The problem with those questions in the Adaway thread is that the people repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly asking them did not bother to read or search the thread.

Enter XDA Labs :)

Easily learned by doing a minimal bit of research in the Adaway thread. It's a good idea to go upstream to the source (pun intended) at least once to know what one is dealing with.

[EDIT] Please dont take my reply as an attack on your suggestion to maintain distinctions in XDA Labs between the "official" Adaway version and the Fdroid version. It is a reasonable idea if XDA Labs Devs are willing to do the extra leg work. My (obvious) frustration comes from the incessant repetition of this easily researched question in the Adaway thread. It also occurs to me, if XDA Labs can find a way to update the "official" version of Adaway perhaps Fdroid can as well.
