This is not the thread for that. And you shouldn't make posts for making posts sakes. Or to up your post count

Try posting that over here or even here instead :D

EDIT: If its a question or bug report though. Go right ahead.

[MENTION=4752536]Wood Man[/MENTION]

To help get back on topic, I have a very small request which I think you'll find valid.

Could you please change the name of the folder for forum downloads to be all one word? The issue is when backing up files over adb (or otherwise) to a linux box. Linux hates folder names with spaces in them, and it would save users an extra step in the process. Combining the words, throwing an underscore in between them, anything would help! Thanks and take care :)
[Android Apps and Games] Clark Joseph Kent:
Good bye...

✯✯ ✯ Υ Σ Μ Χ ✯ ✯✯
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I'm not the guy who decides here but it seems valid :) If such minor change can help to save users extra steps, I agree.

Thanks for the request and take care too :)
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
Actually it might be better to be able to select our own download location.
[Android Apps and Games] HaoZeke:
Hey, I had a feature request.

It'd be really helpful if there could be a tab for threads started by the user.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yes, it has already been suggested in the past. I don't remember what blk_jack answered at that time. I agree it'd be even better.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
The ignored users list is currently, er, ignored by the app. Are there plans to make it comply? I note that it's not on the development road map at the start of the thread.
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
What do you mean by "Ignored User List"? A list that store the name of users you don't want to receive post notifications from?
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
The list of users whose postings should be removed from any thread they appear in.

The app currently displays all postings, regardless of whether their authors are on the ignored list.
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
Yes. It works on the website, but not on labs. Based on your recent posts in the N-ify thread, I think this feature would be quite helpful for you. ;)

Unfortunately, there are some users who I kinda have to ignore because they repeatedly demonstrate their um.. stupidity.

Edit: not just post notifications. If they're on the ignore list, you can't see their posts at all. They'll be hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
It has been asked many times but there was no official answer about it.

Unfortunately I think ignore list feature is not supported by the API.

Please read page 520 and 521, there is at least a link to browse the XDA API and someone saying the ignore list stuff is not on the list.
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
Let me declare one thing first, I dun think those ppl who ask questions over and over are "stupid", I never call them like this. They are just too lazy to search and read the thread IMO :p #facepalm

This feature is cool but I am not sure there is this thing on the web-XDA :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
There is !
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
Oh I see it now, thanks. I seldom click the drop down menu for each user and if I do so the only butto~ I would like to press straight away is the "View Profile" button, I just got no time to pay attention on the others options:p
[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
I think I may have found a small bug with the search screen/feature. But I'm not sure if its my device or keyboard that is faulty. Can someone else test and let me know?

How to reproduce:

1. Click on search button

2. Search for a keyword

3. On the results page, click on the search icon again.

Bug: the search dialog pops up, and the previously searched term is highlighted. But the term is not removed after pressing the delete button.

EDIT: I just realised that you can just start typing in the new keyword(s) and the old one will get erased automatically :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
Pressing the delete button works for me on both my keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
And the highlighted text is deleted?
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
Yup.
[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
It must be my device then. Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] robcore:
I sincerely hate to be a pest, but am an avid user of labs as it is the best way to communicate with my users whilst on the go :)

Small idea: would you consider switching the order of displaying the labs update and chancellor viewing? It makes me sense to me to view the changlog before updating...either way, thanks for your great work team!
[Android Apps and Games] khw1959:
I needed to report a post and could not find a way with xda labs. Is there?
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Good idea. I'd say when tapping the update available notification in the drawer, the changelog dialog would pop up and have a Download button and a Later button at the bottom.

---------- Post added at 05:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 AM ----------

Nope. It's already been requested, but I don't recall the status. However, the app does have a fancy search feature. :cool:

EDIT: Why is the "Post added" time in GMT? It's the same on the mobile page. I swear it used to display in the timezone specified in my profile settings.
[Android Apps and Games] khw1959:
My search skills are normally very good. Results were varied to the point of just asking.
[Android Apps and Games] robcore:
Exactly! Thank you for articulating what I was thinking! Pretty much just like the layout in the apps/xposed sections's update buttons.

Gleam.io embeded into a XDA post, won't load, continually stuck at the loading symbol.

Can anyone else verify this for me? If it happens then I'll post this as a big (Embedded interactive content won't load).
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
There is something in the roadmap about "moderation tools" but blk_jack said HERE, the API doesn't allow to report posts.

---------- Post added at 08:21 ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 ----------

You can see the changelog before updating if you go in Navdrawer > 3 dots > About > Changelog.

If it's not available just after the update push notification, just wait a bit the server displays the changelog.

I guess it's not exactly what you want but it's a possibility at the moment.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
+1. After today's update I came here to ask just that and was ninja-ed by you :). IMO a preview of the changlog in app before update makes particular sense for the lab tester updates so testers know what to look out for at first run of the app after the update.

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

This is good to know but won't work for those who don't use notifications. Is the changelog for pending updates anywhere on line?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I remember there was an URL (on hastebin) of the test builds changelog shown in IRC channel a long time ago, but I don't know if it's still here. Didn't check.

I also tried to record logs while showing the changelog in about screen of Labs but it seems there is no changelog URL in logs :D

Round icon for Android 7.1 not working.
[Android Apps and Games] schwarzerfleck:
Bit strange. The shortcuts are rounded if you place them on your home screen, the normal app icon is not.
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
Round-shaped shortcut is normal in Android 7.1.
[Android Apps and Games] pdastapure:
Amazing!

Amazing app, XDA community never fails to surprise and consistently deliver quality stuff.

[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I have a feature suggestion/request...

If I respond to a post, it would be great if there was a way to remove that from seeing the post within the "Participated Threads" tab.

This is because, if I was participating on a post for an old device, app, etc... and am no longer participating, it seems as though I am forever being notified on new posts.

With that said, if i could do that, and If I were quoted, I'm already being notified of being quoted elsewhere anyways.

Am I making an unreal request?

Thanks a bunch!
[Android Apps and Games] Death Mask Salesman:
Good day. I'm on AICP 11 with microG instead of Gapps. Is there a way for me to login with this very account on XDA Labs, since I can't install Google Plus and am unable to login via OpenID?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Yes, just login with your XDA username and password. You don't have to use Google.
[Android Apps and Games] Death Mask Salesman:
Many thanks. I just had to set a password, and now I'm good to go. Compliments for your app, and "thanks" incoming.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
This has been discussed a lot in this thread.

No, participated threads can't be removed or set as "no-more-updated-on-new-post". It's the same on the XDA website.

"Notified on new post"? What do you mean? There is no notification for participated threads.

General comment now: a lot of people seem to be busy with participated threads tab. I'm just wondering why... :confused:

In my case I'm checking subscribed threads and subscribed sub forums/forums in priority and then eventually when I'm bored (not so often :)) I'm checking once a week/month participated threads tab, just because I'm curious of old threads where I've posted comments.
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
Same here - I'm always in Subscribed and very, very rarely in Participated.

If I want to to keep on top of a thread, I'll subscribe to it. If I've replied to an unsubscribed thread then I let the notifications (quote, mention) take care of any replies.

A wander through Participated is a stroll down memory lane :)
[Android Apps and Games] robcore:
I've actually found the participated threads tab rather useful! It allows me to get a quick glance of the progresses of threads I've posted in, as well as my kernel thread's latest activity, pretty much effortlessly. It goes to show how universal and accommodating this app is for varying usecases :)
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
Hey, here is not a place for you to post bulk posts so as to meet the 10 posts limit...
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Check the forum settings. It sounds you have the setting enabled to automatically subscribe to a thread after posting.
[Android Apps and Games] r1l_Alex_™:
Been awhile! Just wanted to stop by and say hello to you guys! Hope everyone's doing good!

Running the 1.1.0b Variant :good: It's doing very good on our Test Devices here on the Bench !

Backend anyone? ;) Hot testing! Perfect test is the "Post your homes screen" thread!!

Also have it on a stripped down * AOSP 7.1 test build for a abuse run and I have to say it's solid! We attempted to crash it to see at what point it would fail.. Put it to you this way log data showed it running correctly even when Device itself fell apart!

Run after run seems to be getting better and better Everytime!

blk_jack, Wood Man! Thank you!

Big thanks to you all you guys! You know who you are!! :good:

[Android Apps and Games] v.konvict:
I got your pm. Can you check if you got mine
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
The translation in your language of "copy text" of action bar in your screenshot is too long, so it has to be shorter to fit the bar size.

Users involved in translations on crowdin about your language have to change this to fix it. For instance, they (or you) have to translate "Copy text" into the translation of "Copy", or a synonym, or an abbreviation...
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Please check your XDA settings on the website. Check my screenshot: you have to allow backup of your sent PM.
[Android Apps and Games] Artieza:
Text buttons in action bar? Are you serious? Why didn't you replace it with icons?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:

Yea [MENTION=4752536]Wood Man[/MENTION] why didn't you replace it with icons???
[Android Apps and Games] v.konvict:
Thanks ticked it and now everything is okay.
[Android Apps and Games] Artieza:
Icons conflict. I think, Copy Link should be removed (share - copy for that). Or may be replaced with Link icon. For Quote enough icons...

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

Also Copy icon doesn't satisfy material guidelines. It's too big.

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

Like Search & Star in regular action bar...
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Haha :good: :laugh:

Posting this in the forums where there are a lot of heavy forum users is no doubt going to be an unpopular statement, but in the near future I'm not sure how many forum-related tweaks you'll see. I'm also personally pretty bored of working on the forums. It's mostly not my code and I really, really hate fragments
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I honestly didn't understand a single thing you said :(
[Android Apps and Games] mochamoo:
I still have the parse error issue. I was able to clear package installer cache via Titanium Backup. App permissions are greyed out so couldn't do it there and couldn't change storage permissions. I do not have any antivirus software on my nexus 6p either. It is running the 7.1.1 preview. I was finally able to install xda labs and adaway updates by downloading them directly (not through xda labs) to my sdcard/internal storage. Then they installed fine. So my workaround is not to use xda labs for updating apps.

BTW, I also couldn't update the xda lab app directly from my dropbox (got the parse error) but it worked ok after exporting to internal storage. Could it be something in the app manifests? I saw some mention of that while searching the 'net but I know very little about that.
[Android Apps and Games] mrRobinson:
I didn't see it on the roadmap, one thing that might be nice is for devs to be able to reply to a review.

Network error connecting

Running on LG V10 (H901 TMOUS), Android 6.0 with one security patch, rooted with SuperSU but not custom rom. Firewall (AFWall+) disabled for test.

When launchng the forum app I get a network error connecting although my WiFi is working fine and other apps have no issues reaching the network.

Web browser on PC and mobile has no issues reaching XDA.

Log is located

[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I have the same problem. I've checked my logs and I saw token has expired:

"V/VolleyRequestFailed( 6396): â?¢ <init>(requestId=1, tabType=-1, simpleClass="TokenCheck", error=com.android.volley.NoConnectionError: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: com.android.org.bouncycastle.jce.exception.ExtCertPathValidatorException: Could not validate certificate: Certificate expired at Mon Nov 14 05:18:47 GMT+01:00 2016 (compared to Mon Nov 14 07:59:44 GMT+01:00 2016), url="https://labs-lb.xda-developers.com/api/1/token_check/")"

I didn't check your logs but I'm pretty sure you'll have the same error.

So, backend related :)
[Android Apps and Games] Artieza:
1. Now there is icon "Copy" for "Copy Link". If he add icon for "Copy Text", so there will be 2 icons "Copy". So I told that "Copy Link" can be removed (users can got it through share menu) or icon should be replaced with "Link" icon (like in Google Drive).

2. Some of your icons are very big. It should be placed in 24 dp box.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Thanks.. I thought that maybe clearing the app's data and trying to login again (via the app) would help but it is something more annoying. The labs login process just sits there forever, trying to login, but does not succeed nor does it seem to time out. Of well. Guess I'll go to sleep early (it is only 02:30 or so here)... ;)

[ EDIT ] - Take it back. Clearing data DID work but the Labs login screen never changed from "Sending". When I finally hit back arrow there were all my forums once again. Don't tell me I found a bug - I'm going to sleep anyway! :D
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yeah, I've noticed the same. It seems the app waits for the server answer, which never comes since the (our) token has expired. There is maybe no timeout process, thus the nerver ending "sending" screen.
[Android Apps and Games] storm119:
Well im having the same issue.... network connection error thingy.

Should one clearing the app data (but with sending stood forever) or better wait for the dev to rectify the issue and find the solution...?

.....transmitting via TapaTalk
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
After you clear data, launch the app and login. It will sit on a "Sending" message. Give it some time to work and hit back arrow. You should be okay after that (as you can see from my byline below)
[Android Apps and Games] storm119:
LoL....im on tapatalk right now...cant see your byline/sig. Anyway will try your workaround....thank you mate

.....transmitting via TapaTalk
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
You are right.. I forgot that the byline setting is local and I wiped data! Duh!
[Android Apps and Games] schrickz:
thanks for the tips.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I saw you have filtered logs with only "Labs" or "xda" lines. Am I right? If it's the case, you shouldn't do that since it filters out important lines for debugging which doesn't countain those strings. The developers can filter themselves your logs while analysing. :)

This connectivity issue / token expiring is something [MENTION=5136613]rwestergren[/MENTION] could handle if I remember well. If he has time. :)
[Android Apps and Games] storm119:
Okay....it worked. I can browse forum but the side bar menu still showing network connectivity issue and apps, xposed + wallpaper tabs seems broken (cant feed)..

Same issue here with the app. Since this morning no connection anymore. It happened a few day ago for the first time, but it fixed it self after a day. That time i had only issues when i was on LTE. Now it's on LTE and WiFi :(
[Android Apps and Games] JagDave:
Connection issues seem to be server side. Rolled back a couple of versions, still have the same problem.
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
It was said that it is a backend problem.

UPDATE: I also see this banner hung in the drawer since 12 hrs ago... BUT I have no issue when replying to forum posts and browsing the forum within the app. Is the banner just a display error?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
There is no display error, this network error is displayed from the Labs backend cluster.

AFAIK there are 3 main backend clusters (knowledges from previous blk_jack's posts):

> one for the Labs part: Apps, Downloads, Xposed, Wallpapers, push notification, ...

> one for the Forums part,

> one for the Authentication.

So, the Forums part can work even if the Labs part is down :)
[Android Apps and Games] Spookymyo:
I have the network connectivity issue as well. Bit I can't access the forums at all.

.....transmitting via TapaTalk
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Hey guys, the issue looks like it's due to the SSL cert expiring. I passed it on to our backend guys but it's out of my control.

Once we put on a renewed cert it'll all start working again.
