There's two things at play here. The first is microg's header image is the wrong size ratio. The second is there IS an Android support lib bug that affects KK devices when fully collapsed with CollapsingToolbarLayout. This may be fixed in newer versions of the support lib and I'll be upgrading those in the near future.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION], would it be possible for Labs to not post my details like userName, email, avatarUrl, unread PM, mention, QUOTE counts into my logcat each time I start the app?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
No, it's part of the debug data at the moment. It shouldn't be a problem unless you have untrusted root apps scraping your logs, in which case a lot of other apps are also logging email addresses & such.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Ahh so this is temporary? Or will this behavior stay in Labs forever?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I have marked March 12th, 2017 in my calendar to remove it.
[Android Apps and Games] pavlepiramida:
Thanks for explanation, cant wait to try new updated!
[Android Apps and Games] medes22:
Xda labs made surfing and finding roms and information so easy

Thank you all dev that went and created something so great. You make wonderful things!

Cheers and keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Can't wait :D

MOAR ETA PLZZ! :p :p

[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Cool! I'd have failed in my final examinations by then so no pressure from parents anymore, nice!

P.S. [MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION] would go crazy if you'd give him a picture of your July month's calendar
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yes, it would give me a good idea of my huge and thrilling incoming test work. :D

I think I'm gonna hack his calendar :p
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Let me know when you succeed, I'll put the script on a monthly cron job on my server :D
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Sure, no problem!
[Android Apps and Games] SuperThomasLab:
Tried it again today, but it still doen't work. The screenshots are made on a Nexus 6P. (No editing, original screenshots).
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
Wait, so you do need thanks :P (sorry I can't help but point out double negatives, blame grammar school)
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
You caught me ;)

[MENTION=5136613]rwestergren[/MENTION] is the man for this
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:
Whenever I feel guilty that I've not thanked enough people in past couple of days, I pay a visit to XDA Labs thread.

I was wondering if there was a way to prevent Labs from transferring the downloads to android download manager and directly download from source (or server)?

Actually got a very slow and poor network and thus never been able to successfully download any app.

I guess the download link expires after some period of inactivity, cuz never faced similar issues while downloading from play store (those download resume even after hours of inactivity)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I remember blk_jack saying a long time ago that he was considering to "change the way Labs downloads apks". I mean he said they (blk_jack and backend guy/team) were looking into "using our own download process"/"baking in our own method" (related posts HERE, HERE, HERE).

But since he did a work around for download issues related to some devices/Android Version, maybe the "XDA Labs-own-download-process" is no more planned? Or if it's still in the to do list, it's with a lower priority? I guess it'd need some clarifications ;)
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:
The one thing that kept me away from this thread was that I was never able to download the in app build updates :p

I guess I'll be back when I get a better Internet connection.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
PM me a link to one of your screenshots thanks. Also make SURE you have a description entered for your screenshots or they won't save.
[Android Apps and Games] SuperThomasLab:
I tried uploading the screenshots again and it works now. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
[MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION], maybe the issue about empty threads (no replies) not showing up needs a mention? I reported it here(insert link to my post which you'll find anyway coz you're awesome)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
[MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION]

Thanks, added in my bug list.

I've also added this one:
[Android Apps and Games] Zeyn Karim:
[MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION] please add unable to open xposed modules apps through xda labs (eg. Amplify cannot be launched, sorry!) , i think i did post about it sometime ago it's just i haven't had a chance yet to post my logs been swamped at work.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
No problem, I'm gonna add it with a link to your original post.

Once you'll be able to post logs, I'll edit the link in my bug list.

---------- Post added at 15:34 ---------- Previous post was at 14:51 ----------

Done!

I've added this to my list:
[Android Apps and Games] Trafalgar Square:
I can do this.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeyn Karim:
Please do, i have my log.txt but it's like 4.66mb and can't upload straight to xda.
[Android Apps and Games] Trafalgar Square:
I would take a log, but I don't have this problem.

You can paste the log on hastebin or upload to Dropbox.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeyn Karim:
[MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION]

Hey again, I've updated my original post and attached a link for my logcat, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK thanks, blk_jack who asked for logs HERE should be grateful :)

BTW, in the post I've linked above, blk_jack told you:

"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."

Did you try what he suggested? I think you never gave feedback about this.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeyn Karim:
I did originally try that before posting, once i installed labs i removed old xposed installer and intended labs to handle all modules, it still gave me a problem, so i reinstalled xposed installer and froze it, I only un freeze it whenever i need to launch modules now, although can't remember if i wiped the data in labs at that time , I'll try again, remove xposed installer, do a clean install labs and let you guys know if there's any changes.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Just to clarify.. you can't launch the module from the launcher?? Labs doesn't do anything magical in order to launch apps, it just tries to launch the apps via the Launcher icon it creates (hence the error message when it can't).

I myself use Amplify and it launches fine from Labs..
[Android Apps and Games] Zeyn Karim:
I can't actually,

Some modules have an option to hide launcher icon (eg amplify, in settings has this option) it'll be hidden from launcher but can still be run through xposed installer and i usually always select this option when it's available in modules.

However those same apps don't launch through labs, possibly because of reason you've just given above?

Also other modules like youtube adaway which do not have launcher icons (are usually launched through xposed installer) does not open through labs.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I'm not sure what the Installer does, but yea if you hide the launcher icon (which disables the launcher activity/intent), Labs (and any launcher for that matter) won't be able to launch it normally. As for Youtube AdAway, it can't be launched in any capacity. Not all Xposed modules can be launched (either by Labs or the Installer) and it's one of them.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I can actually launch Youtube AdAway xposed module through xposed installer. Please check my screenshots

Then, why can't it be done the same way by Labs?
[Android Apps and Games] MrWasdennnoch:
You are probably launching the apps through the Launcher category; The Xposed Installer added another category to launch apps with the launcher icon disabled: "de.robv.android.xposed.category.MODULE_SETTINGS".
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I don't see it being launched in your screenshots.

Oh man this is super helpful, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
In the second screenshot. The Youtube AdAway window.

This window can't be launched with Labs.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
That's the pop-up you see when the Xposed Installer -can't- launch an activity/intent. There's nothing the Installer is doing there that Labs doesn't..
[Android Apps and Games] Zeyn Karim:
Yeah that's exactly what i mean thank you, also i was just using youtubeadaway as an example, what if other modules function similar and can only be open through a xposed manager aswell.

Also example amplify (with launcher icon hidden) can still be launched through xposed installer but cannot through labs.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
The issue was that Xposed introduced a new category to launch that wasn't the typical one Android (and Labs) uses. When you disabled the regular launcher activity, Labs wouldn't know how to open it. There is no other issue, some Xposed modules (Like Youtube AdAway) cannot be launched.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeyn Karim:
Ah i see, thanks for the info! I look forward to your future updates, i like the app, it's really convenient.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Sorry blk_jack, I'm confused :D

OK it can't be launched, but why Labs can't display the same kind of pop-up (the one in my 2nd screenshot in previous post)?

Where does this pop up come from ?
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Jeff explained above that Xposed actually gives module devs an option to add another entry into their manifest, other than than the android.intent.main.LAUNCHER to launch the UI of that module, even if you disable the launcher activity and hide the icon. Labs currently is not aware of the extra property that rovo89 offers to developers and hence modules which do not have a Launcher icon by default or has been disabled it with a toggle will not be launchable from Labs, but Xposed Installer will be able to launch them due to the additional entry in the AndroidManifest.xml

The relevant category is this : de.robv.android.xposed.category.MODULE_SETTINGS

P.S. I'm taking no credits for all this info, due respect to the devs who've been talking about it on the last page, I'm just simplifying for people who're not really into Android App Development
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Labs could display the same pop-up if I wanted, but there's no point. When you click on an Xposed module in the Xposed Installer that can be launched, it launches, if it can't, it displays that little pop-up which basically reassures the user that it's enabled (but doesn't explicitly say there's no launch intent). That pop-up isn't from the Xposed module itself, it's just something the Installer does.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thank you very much MSF Jarvis and blk_jack, now everything is sooo clear!
[Android Apps and Games] Zeyn Karim:
MSF Jarvis gave the perfect summary, I'd like to know if you will be implementing that category or something similar to get modules to launch as well, it's not practical for other devs to give users and option to hide launcher icons without and alternative way to still launch a module, I'll use amplify as an example again (with launcher icon hidden), a user rarely needs to adjust his wakelocks again after being set, but when he does, how can he? The users icon is hidden but there's no other way to launch the app again without reinstalling the module or using xposed installer.

So we now know how and why, will you be able add this in a future update?

Even if a user accidently hides that icon from launcher he should be able to still launch a module without hassle.

Alot of modules gravity box, xinstaller, zcesbh etc all have this hide launcher icon option

It's totally plausible for a xposed manager to have that ability.

Please add it....
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Yea I'll look into it.

Honestly I assumed most people were just running launchers that let you hide icons ;)
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
No no no! It's not that! The AdAway module's UI is just that tiny box you're seeing. That's not Xposed at work. If a module specifies neither LAUNCHER nor MODULE_SETTINGS, then Xposed Installer shows a toast message that the module has no user interface. The general opinion forming here is that Labs should be able to interface with this extra property defined in the AndroidManifest and make sure that the modules get launched anyway, which apparently means that MODULE_SETTINGS intent should probably go into the catch section of the exception handled UI Launch attempt, if your code even raises the ActivityNotFoundException in the Amplify-launcher icon and YouTube Ad-Away launch buttons

P.S. Sincere apologies to non App Devs, I guess I'm simply rambling to a guy who probably knows all of this **** but thought I'd show off where my nights are going :)

Edit : 15 seconds late :(
[Android Apps and Games] Zeyn Karim:
Haha we are, well most of us are but you know we got to cater for everyone aswell :)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I understand better now why I was confused. Not so easy to get it. Again, thanks MSF Jarvis & blk_jack.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
FWIW I just fixed the xposed launcher issue on my end so it'll be in the next build. Thanks for the help debugging this guys
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thanks and you're welcome Master.

Btw. I write useless posts like "thank you", "you're welcome", "blah, blah" because I'm out of thanks for today (again)...
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I just wanted to say that it was a different xda labs app i was using that reflected the transparent look.

When I had saved the other app, it had overwritten the genuine one.

I removed the installed one, downloaded the genuine one and installed it.

Now all is well!

Thanks a bunch for your patience!!!
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Erm, that's not possible that the TBO version overwrote the standard XDA Labs installation since they have different signatures and Android forbids installation of the same app with different signatures to prevent against possible malware risks. Relevant post from djdarkknight96 here
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I'm referring to the apk file name. They were both labeled the same. When I backed up the apk file, it overwritten the genuine one.

Sorry for the confusion. It was my bad.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeyn Karim:
Thank you so much! It's always pleasure helping out. :)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I can't edit my post HERE (my bug list) with XDA Labs. I've tried to edit other posts, it works with XDA Labs. It's not because of a connectivity issue.

I've tried to edit this post with my web browser, it works.

Here is my logs file: link expired

Did you know this problem [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]?
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Throwing it out for the fun of it, if anyone (like me) sees posts that need to be reported, on a daily basis, go grab FlyperLink from the Labs Store. It'll open the post in a collapsible floating window when you share the post link to the app which will load in a collapsed state while you find the next one ;)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
[MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION], I should test this FlyperLink app with the post just above! Haha! :D
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
You totally should! :D

And while you're at it go and report this one too ;)
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Flyperlink is a real lifesaver, that's definite.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
It's party time! latest beta is ****in' awesome! Dat changelog tho :3

P.S. [MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION], it indeed looks like Option 2 was correct : "Biggest release ever"
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
As Jarvis said, great update (so far only just started using yadda yadda)

To those asking about YouTube AdAway, rejoice
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Hey [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION], no release announcement post? "Awesome speaks for itself" kind of stuff going in your head?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
It's a test build :) Beta release (1.0.7) is expected early next week and when that comes out you'll see me do up a proper post.

I know it's been awhile but I don't normally make posts for test builds ;)
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Cool, sorry about this tho ;) https://twitter.com/MSF_Jarvis/status/756676950106791936
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
I don't think threads used to show up in both subscribed and participated views earlier. This is intended?
[Android Apps and Games] myrul:
I use the build 1.0.5 and 1.0.6 and it is show up in both place. It just show up in participated views when we post something in the thread, so i think this is an intended feature.
[Android Apps and Games] swallowingled:
Yes, it's been like that on previous versions. I've just always assumed it was intended.
[Android Apps and Games] harsh.:
[MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION]

I thought XDA forum icon will look similar to labs, As blk_jack said few days ago. But it is not.(yes it has changed, its different from Previous one)
[Android Apps and Games] cyclonmaster:
Definitely going to support this effort. Good job guys. I started to hate Play Store monopoly right now. Amazon Store also is doing pretty good nowadays.
[Android Apps and Games] cyclonmaster:
I find it hard to download the apk file. With so many attempt, still no success to complete download. Sometimes stop at 50%, 60% and almost done 98% and that's it. Never finish. Any other mirror for the apk? Github maybe?

I just added my apps in the XDA Lab developers. My dashboard avatar is not there. In chrome console log I can see this error "GET https://cdn1.xda-developers.com/customavatars/avatar3866045_1.gif 404 (Not Found)"
[Android Apps and Games] NotATreoFan:
I may be incorrect, so let's just forget I said that. The lack of coffee was strong that day. I'm on a full stock device and also haven't had any crashes to report.
[Android Apps and Games] Beat_Slayer:
Well I've noticed something that bugs me and I believe should be simple to implement: when I open the app it goes to the portal, I pull the drawer and click on the forums, but at the forums when I pull the drawer there's still a link to the forums at the drawer so there's no way to go back to the portal. Am I missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Once in forums :

- either touch back key to go back to portal.

- or pull the drawer and touch "App / Xposed Updates" (you will be in "Apps" tab of the portal)

Does it the trick for you ?
[Android Apps and Games] Beat_Slayer:
It does, but I thought it would be a nice idea to have a portal link when we're at the forums.

Thanks anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
"Apps" tab is a part of the portal, right ?

You mean in the "Discover" tab ? If yes, it's just next to "Apps" tab, it's not very far from it ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Follow_and_Feel:
Love this app <3!!! Just one thing: I've been working hard on a tasker profile, that checks for unread messages and post quotes on xda. Would be nice if we got push notifications, if there are post quotes or private messages :) But as I read you're already working on it? But the app is very awesome already! Good Job! :)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yes, Push notifications among other features are planned by the devs in a near future. Maybe you have already seen this post : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63992859&postcount=340
[Android Apps and Games] abdullahedhi:
Nice one man
[Android Apps and Games] Follow_and_Feel:
Ah nice :) Nope, didn't see that :) Thank you. Do we have to update the app manually or do we get a notification if there's an update? Greetz
[Android Apps and Games] TonikJDK:
It pushes a notification when there is an update.
[Android Apps and Games] Follow_and_Feel:
Awesome! Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Not sure if it's just me, but updating when starting the app seems to be taking longer than before. Could it be the increasing user base is having an effect?
[Android Apps and Games] TonikJDK:
+1

Getting pretty slow to pull the thread list on subscribed and even subscribed forums. At times it totally times out. I think it was Saturday...I couldn't get list all day.
[Android Apps and Games] luriert:
I am fairly certain on saturday XDA went down as a site so it may be related to that (had the same issue and couldn't access it online or anything).
[Android Apps and Games] Remotiv:

[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK thanks for logs.

You mean you can't download apps, right ?

I've just looked into logs. It seems to be because of DownloadManager of your ROM. It can't verify "labs-dl.xda-cdn.com" hostname. For instance, an extract of logs :

It's a known issue, look at the post #2 :

What is weird is that it's supposed to be fixed in 0.59a. But maybe not for everyone...
[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] wrote previously this in post #227 but he striked it, saying it's OK for him:

But your logs file seems to highlight the same kind of problem if I understand well.

It has to be clarified :)

In the meantime, you can try this :

- uninstall XDA labs

- Delete data and cache of DownloadManager app in Settings / Applications manager

- Install again XDA labs.

- Retry to download apps
[Android Apps and Games] Remotiv:
I made this, but no effect. What I forgot to say is, that I can download xposed Apps without problems.

(before and after cache + date wipe of DownloadManager)

Download:

- xposed modules works :good:

- Wallpaper works :good:

- Apps not working :(
[Android Apps and Games] emanuelparedes:
