Just a couple simple things that would be awesome.

1. Can we have clickable links on app descriptions?

2. Please add the year of downloads. Some of the Xposed apps haven't been updated in a while and it'd be a good indicator if the app is active or not.

Thanks!

Allow us to delete/remove/hide the threads that no longer interest us. (participated threads)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Pretty much what "subscribed" threads are for, no? Only sub to what interests you.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
1- Make sure you include a title in your PM or it won't send.

2- about post URL, you can get its link by using the share feature by long pressing a post header. Check my screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I'll look into adding both. Been meaning to for awhile but have had other priorities.

This'll be fixed in the next build, thanks for the heads up :)

This has nothing to do w/ Labs. Maybe use another app to download? Maybe the download was corrupted? Your issue is that Android isn't letting you install the APK. Could be any APK.
[Android Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
Op what do you think?

Everytime the first page is subscribed thread, while i prefer another page to start(in my case partecipated thread)
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
U got it wrong. Irrespective of subscription if I comment on a thread & I no longer needed it later but still it shows in participated threds
[Android Apps and Games] :
I understand your point. But the subscription thread system does exactly what you are looking for already.

Otherwise, participated and subscribed threads would be nearly the same feature, and redundant. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
I'm addition to what Darth said, I would still like to say it can be a nice feature addition, but seeing a boatload of threads where I've helped makes me happy :p:D
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
Exactly, as I mentioned long ago, subscribed threads can be a list of high priority threads, and the other list (currently participated threads) could consist of low priority threads, if you could edit both lists, that is.

I sometimes have a little glitch in navdrawer. The device icon can appear in black color instead of white.

I don't have a pattern to reproduce at 100% but it's quite easy: just browsing between tabs in Forum part or switching between Labs part / Forum part...

I'm currently running Android 4.4.4 and using xda labs v1.0.8.6b

Logs and screenshot attached.
[Android Apps and Games] regalzz:
i searched the thread but i couldnt find something about this... maybe i searched it wrong.

anyway, text formatting is not working right now? i mean, text doesnt show the striked text. couldnt find anything on settings also
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
No need to search for this one, just read OP, 2nd post in particular.
[Android Apps and Games] regalzz:
duh. my bad. thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Please, I need someone to quote me, I'm taking logs for a missing notification issue with v1.0.8.6b running Android 4.4.4.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] tag68:
Sorry, me not
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thanks for your help.

So I can confirm I don't get any notifications with v1.0.8.6b running Android 4.4.4.

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]: I hope logs attached will help. If not, I can test again later.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
This looks like a bug in Android that only affects kitkat as outlined here.

I'm testing workarounds now..
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
"Better off not using stacked notifications on KitKat and prior" didn't sound nice to me. Make us happy red wizard!
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Stacked notifications don't show up in KK anyway (they're N / Android Wear only).
[Android Apps and Games] QuickNET Tech:
Is there a way to refresh the labs portion of the app (force refresh, pull to refresh, or any other way) like you can in the forums portion? My internet is complete crap and sometimes News/Apps/Xposed/Wallpapers don't want to refresh on there own so I have to exit the app and reopen it and hope it refreshes. I noticed that I can pull to refresh in the slide out drawer, but I don't know if that's what I want, seeing as it doesn't appear to refresh anything from what I can tell. :confused: I believe it is trying to refresh in the background, but (as far as I can tell) it doesn't give any indication that it is doing so, so I assume that it is not and go from there, even though it probably is trying.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
The Labs portion will refresh automatically when the app resumes. This means if you switch apps and come back Labs will query the last updated delta and show modifications since. If you want to manually refresh you can pull-down-to-refresh in the Navigation Drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] QuickNET Tech:
Awesome, I thought that that might have been the reason for the pull to refresh in the slide out menu, but I couldn't tell for sure. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] TigerKing:
How to update xda labs app??

Is it updated automatically??
[Android Apps and Games] MrWasdennnoch:
You get a notification when there's an update and it tells you in the nav drawer. Nothing to di manually except enabling debug builds if you want to.
[Android Apps and Games] DoktorImEinsatz:
I don't get any notifications either. I'm on CM13.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I was using Resurrection Remix based on CM13 a few days ago and notifications were working very good with 1.0.8.6b. Maybe your problem is in your side. If not you should provide logs.

You have to use latest 1.0.8.6b to have working notification btw, as explained here: http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post68809080
[Android Apps and Games] DoktorImEinsatz:
Thank you. My problem was probably that I also had xda Free installed. I just uninstalled it. I will test it further.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Haha, just had a notification running Android 4.4.4. I guess the Android bug doesn't occur in every cases.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
First test :p
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I believe the reason it showed that notification is because it's a summary notification. The other one was a single notification. The way it works now is it creates an individual notification for every pending notice (so that on Android wear / N you can expand each individually). It also creates the summary notification that you have in your screenshot.

The way that Android [is supposed to] work is that it should intelligently, depending on your version of Android, suppress the individual notifications if a summary exists and you're not running N. The bug seems to be triggered when you have a single notification and you set a group to that notification (you set the same group to the summary too).

I haven't looked into it much more than what I read on that stack overflow post. It just seems like yet another annoying Android bug that I have to work around. :(
[Android Apps and Games] DoktorImEinsatz:
This seems to be the cause. Since I uninstalled XDA Free I also get the email notifications. I was not aware that I requested email notifications. There is something fishy with XDA Free.

But XDA Labs seems to work as expected. I think I can close this case.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Weird but good for you. :good:

Off-topic:

FYI even without XDA Free installed, I sometimes don't receive emails for a new unread post in a subscribed thread, but quotes emails and mentions emails work well everytime.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I've attached 2 logcat files reflecting that the xda labs crashed when attempting to download an app update.

Just an FYI...I have a GS3 d2vzw with CM13 rooted & TWRP. All up to date.
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Why is the "Byline preference" not appearing anymore after last update?

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------

Oh, it isn't. I'm still receiving notifications randomly since I've started using XDA Labs about every single update ago. Most of the time, I don't even get any. And I'm on 6.0 Marshmallow
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
That's weird because I, sometimes to my annoyance, always get them. Kinda like this one even.

Weird, right?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
It's here with latest v1.0.8.6b (and it has always been the case). Check my screenshot.

Please read here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68253986&postcount=5083
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Since "Byline preference" is reappearing here, I'll show you it wasn't a few minutes ago:
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Not sure what you want me to do without logs. Read OP, follow basic instructions, etc etc
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
In addition to blk_jack's last post about providing logs, you have to give more details when you report an issue. You have to write what you did exactly. What were your actions before having the problem? Did you upgrade the app and then saw the missing byline? Did you go in Labs settings and change something in between? etc.

Without logs and precise info or steps to get the issue, we can only make assumptions and I (or some other members) will clutter the thread for nothing.

That goes for everyone and every threads. :)
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Read. And XDA is not optimized, plus, I actually open it every single day... About "Byline preference", really?... yes I know I have to not choose "No byline" in order for one byline to appear. I've attached a screenshot to prove my "Byline preference not appearing" point. If it starts happening randomly, as notifications do, I'll let you know...
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
My screenshot was not intented to show you "no byline" functionning, it was intented to show you that "Byline preferences" was not missing in settings... but since you didn't give enough info, I had to make assumptions, I didn't understand you in the end.
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Well, for now, I'm just letting you know. If it keeps happening I'll send the logs, of course

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. And sorry if I misunderstood you. Just wanted to state what happened here with byline after last update. That is no big deal anyway. As I said before, if it happens again, I'll provide the logs
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Yes. Weird
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Just one question: after the app upgrade and after you noticed the byline was not written in your posts, did you go in settings and set again your byline... and then noticed the byline was back in your next posts? Or you did you do nothing special in between and it appeared again magically?
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Well... There was no need to make an example out of me: if I dare to consider these as issues, it's because I have everything set to supposedly work properly. Why should I change settings and then tell you the app is not properly working, for instance? Why making such assumption?
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Chill, FLooDW is simply relaying debugging questions. Running Labs as such is considered being a tester and such questions should be patiently answered rather than getting snubbed at. Or simply just be clear as daylight and report with logs so all that [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] can say is "Thanks, I'll look into it" just like how he replies to well-formed bug reports. Answer the questions if you can and be happy about assisting development and betterment of the XDA Labs experience.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I'm making such assumptions:

- because I'm trying to help people who are posting here, as much as possible, and because of what [MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION] posted above.

- because of THIS. blk_jack fixed it in v1.0.8.6b and the issue you've reported could have something to deal with such kind of problem. Maybe something is still wrong somewhere else and that's why I'm asking questions.
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Magically. I was in another thread, noticed no byline and came to this thread just to report the subject, cause I was on other stuff and then leave Labs thread again, so I didn't looked for settings or even thought about posting logs. When I came back to check for quotes, byline was here and all this thing started out. But currently we're cluttering the thread for nothing, cause this particular issue is no more. Now we are all being misunderstood to each other and I'm starting to get embarrassed about the whole deal. Let's just leave this alone. If this issue comes back, I'll treat it as you expect, with logs and everything. Thanks for your support, your time and your patience...
[Android Apps and Games] jawz101:
2 things:

1)

A while ago I mentioned that the app store doesn't show the year of the app release date. If the app was last updated on June 27th... what does that imply?

Several months ago dev responded that it was a good idea. I don't know how long it would take to change the release date in the app store to a full date instead of the current month/day format. I'm guessing like 2 seconds, though :p

2)

The FAQ says the source will be published soon. Is "soon" relative to when I read that answer or was that "soon" based on when the answer was originally given... whenever that was?

I guess both of my questions are related to time.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
1) please read here (recent answer): http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post68843664

2) I don't know what will happen but you can read page 387 and next pages in the meantime.
[Android Apps and Games] EternalFlame:
Sup, using this app for quite a while, here is some stuff i hate about it:

- Massive lag while scrolling through forum threads - not the subscribed ones tho.

- Even with push notifications disabled there is a notification background process running that eats up RAM just for fun

- Random Logoffs, means every day i have to re-login

Everything else is dope, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Weird, only a few reported this. Related recent posts in page 517. Maybe something on your end?

Nothing eats RAM for fun. Related post HERE (end of the post).

Maybe there's still an issue in the back end when using multiple devices with Labs., is it your case? I've pinged [MENTION=5136613]rwestergren[/MENTION] a few days ago about this, HERE.
[Android Apps and Games] EternalFlame:
Hmm i use a G3 with zzmoove gov. on an AOSP 6.0.1 ROM and simple gpu alorithm, means its tweaked for performance and snappiness, everything is smooth and working without lag, weird indeed, well in a few months i will switch devices maybe it´s really something on my end.

Okay, well i disabled this service with another app so i fixed it myself lol, even if it´s running as it should, i don´t like having a background processes running i can not control :p

No not really man, i use XDA on my PC and XDA "labs" on my phone only, with "XDA One" or the old "XDA Permium" App i never faced this issue, aw well, you guys will figure it out it´s definitely not the end of the world.

Thanks for the quick reply bro :good:

[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I can't reproduce this on any of my devices (including my Galaxy S4 running kitkat). I don't want to just jump to conclusions and blame custom ROMs but, well, again I can't reproduce it on any of my 6 test devices.

EDIT: Wait is the "lag" the delay it takes to load the next set of threads? If you load say Xposed General and scroll down to the bottom (of the first 20 threads), it pauses and waits while it loads another 20 threads. Once you scroll down to the bottom of those 20 it loads another 20, etc. I know that sounds ultra obvious but what forum are you scrolling through causing lag and how does the pagination factor into it?

If you disable push notifications for both Forums and Labs, when Android kills Labs to free up memory (or you manually swipe it away), it will not respawn the service and it'll remain gone from memory. You mentioned having manually disabled PushService using another app. This will indeed prevent the service from running and also keep it out of memory, but it will also break app/xposed downloads, unread notice counts (quotes/mentions/PMs -- especially in the latest few builds), etc. If you don't use any of those things, that's fine, but we often get reports of the app being "broken" in certain ways and it's often because users are doing things they don't understand.

This was fixed and shouldn't be happening still. If not, logs?

[MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION] Just a heads up, the next test build will have clickable URLs in the app/xposed descriptions as well as the full date of each build (YYYY-MM-DD).
[Android Apps and Games] EternalFlame:
Well that´s really weird lol, i´m talking about for instance the "G3 General" Forum, but i looked into it once more and i figured it lags while loading all the avatars again while scrolling simultaneously, strange thing tho, it doesn't do this while scrolling through all my subscribed threads, so i was thinking maybe it´s possible to cache all the avatars/pictures stuff via extra option?

Hope you understand.

Make sense, well yes i don´t use any of this stuff, i get all my notifications via email, and the app operates really well even with this particular service disabled by a 3rd party app since i did it, so yes, i´m fully aware of it if something is broken it´s mostly my fault then.

Will definitely get one if it happens again, i clean flashed my ROM from scratch yesterday tho and until now it did not happen again, i guess you're right and its fixed by now.

Thanks :good:

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]

After XDA Labs installation on Android 6.0, when we want to add an attachment in a post, it asks for storage permissions, okay. But if we grant it and right after if we try again to upload a file, it gives an error like "File not found.." (just like if storage perm was still not really granted). To fix this, we have to kill XDA labs or remove it from memory and then attachment uploads work fine.

Not sure but I think it's a common behaviour on Android 6.0 since I already saw such problem with another app than Labs.

So, is it something fixable, is it an Android bug or Labs bug?

Attached some logs (from a previous version).
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I remember having a similar issue...

The app defaults to the last destination/location that the app had uploaded from. So, if the path had changed somehow, the app can't find it and crashes.

I just worked around the issue by creating an internal folder labeled "XDA Labs Uploads" and place the files in there till I'm done with the uploads and then delete the files but, not the folder.

I hope i explained my work around clearly.

Now what I experienced may not be what [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] experienced but, I'm just providing a similar experience that may be the same.

Also, i have Android 6 via the CM13 i have installed.

Good luck!
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I understand -- it's just not probable. The code to load the avatars (and the entire thread list) is identical for both subscribed and unsubscribed thread lists. Subscribed threads also have a loader for more than 20 responses, but I figured I'd ask because at least personally I don't subscribe to more than 20.

Like I said, right now things are definitely broken if you disable PushService (all notifications, downloads, unread notices, (in the new version) unread counters in the navdrawer, etc). But in the future even more things may break. It's much smarter to just disable notifications full stop and let Android do its thing.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I'm not sure about either of these things (the logs didn't reveal much), but they are two separate permissions. When it comes to uploads, Labs I believe just shuttles it off to Android's native filemanager stuff. There's no defaults or anything stored as part of Labs, it's just handled automatically.

That said I just installed Labs on an Android 6 device (stock Sony Xperia X) and was able to both download attachments and upload an image without any issue. Like Ibuprophen said, maybe it's related to some weird Android condition? If we can find a way to reliably reproduce it but until then it very well could just be an OS related glitch or something along those lines.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
My XDA Labs app is crashing so much that it makes it really difficult to use.

I've attached a logcat file reflecting a handful of them.

Also, this is the third attempt creating this post as it crashes while i type.

I uninstalled and restarted then reinstalled and restarted but, the app still misbehaved in the same manner.

In addition, half the crashes restart the app while the other half of the crashes just close the app out completely.

No specific area or action, it misbehaves sporadically (anywhere)

I just want to report any issues to help in the development and improvements for this great app!

The logcat file needed to be zipped because it just barely exceeded the upload limit.

Thanks a bunch!

Hi, after some time I wanted to install app via Labs, but I can't install it, error is something about package analysis. I have this issue on my N5X and N7 both with Android 7. When I go to folder, where apk is downloaded and install it manually, everything is OK. Same error is when I want to update it...

[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Seems related to PackageInstaller (system app). Can you change permissions of PackageInstaller somewhere in settings of Android 7?

In any cases, I recommend you to take logs while reproducing the issue and then post here.

---------- Post added at 08:55 ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 ----------

To be clear, the issue I've described HERE only happens just after Labs installation and after granting storage permission AND before removing Labs from memory (or killing it). After removing Labs from memory, uploads (and downloads) work very well and forever. :)

This is a recording to the forum threads scroll jitter I experience. I scroll through subscribed threads 1st. Watch the smoothness. I then switch to forum threads. You can see I scroll down a bit, then scroll back to the top. Even after it loads more threads while scrolling down, I try to scroll to the top, and it has jitter.
