Is that from rc8?? The font line-height should look different.. Maybe you're running a test version? I updated it from the one on IRC.
[Android Apps and Games] one7dchevy:
Hi [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] Just wondering if my request from a few months ago can be accomplished? It would be nice to move away from Tapatalk entirely. :)
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
XDA Labs, 1.0.0 beta [Download]

Wow, we're finally in beta. How did we get here you may wonder?

Well, with 15,000 XDA users testing over the past 4 months:

20,000 lines of code added or removed.

26 user requested features added

92 bugs squashed and issues fixed

36 tweaks and improvements made

We couldn't have done it without the cooperation, collaboration and help from the community.

What happens next??

Tangible milestones with roadmaps for major versions and revisions

Both alpha/beta releases for testers and individuals wanting to help out

Using analytics to help us figure out what parts of the app need more attention

Stay tuned over the next few days for more announcements, including source and translation links!

Again, thanks to everyone helping out in this thread an on IRC! <3
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Only 15,000 XDA users?

Was the word not spread properly or are we getting rid of the ones who cannot read? :laugh:

Let's not forget a big hand for the hard working coders, on and off IRC!
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
P.S. New post-beta alpha builds will start coming out this week with the ability to opt-in and change the release channel you want for Labs itself. Wanna just stick on beta? We've got you covered. Wanna be an alpha testing baller giving me delicious logs for breakfast? Covered also.

EDIT: If you wanna celebrate the beta release join us on IRC! Just kidding I'm probably going out for dinner right now but in the grand scheme of life drop by. I miss you.
[Android Apps and Games] silentvisitor:
Wow......

Huge congratulations and respect to [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] and everyone associated for touching milestone of first beta :good:

Keep going stronger :good:

Btw, why do many posts show symbols & numerals in sentences? Plz have a look. Thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Known issue, mentioned in OP.

I've heard rumors the backend will be updated soon to fix this. That fix should fix Labs too.
[Android Apps and Games] Lesser Version:
Is there a way to long press and save a photo from within this app? Love the app and congratulations on beta! I use my browser for saving wallpapers posted in some of the forums I frequent, however didn't know if I was missing something in the apps capabilities. Thanks and great job!
[Android Apps and Games] silentvisitor:
Thank you and my apologies for repeating a known issue.
[Android Apps and Games] XxMikeMasterxX:
It is from rc8, yes. I opened an article and it looked so dang good I just had to share. We can discuss via PM if it will keep the thread cleaner. :)

I just updated to 1.0b and will check the Labs font size.

EDIT: Font size appears differently in 1.0b just as rc8. See next post for screenshot. Also, I'm down like a clown to get those alpha builds and help out!
[Android Apps and Games] XxMikeMasterxX:
It's considerably different text by line height etc.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Catlog is not usable on my device (no way to save).

How is Logcat extreme "funny"? BTW, do people use Logcat with a specific app selected, as a rule?
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Just hit the 3dot menu button if you have navigation bar. Other wise hit the hardware menu button.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
I used catlog for many years and switched only reluctantly. I do have a navigation bar but do not have either the 3 dot menu nor a hardware button.

Catlog needs to update to 'modern' technology. The use of the legacy menu system (sounds like a lot of deprecated code) should have been changed long ago as it is rigger a royal pain to use or not possible, depending on the device.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
That's odd indeed. Has to be something with the oem mods. I have never had an issue with it. Be it in the Nav bar or hardware keys. Even on my nexus 6 it has No issue displaying it.

Couldn't tell you how it's don't in labs. I don't use it.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Correct. Nexus devices a are more backward compatible. Some newer devices make it either difficult or impossible to use his menus.

As I noted in my revised reply to you (edited so I don't sound mad at catlog) his use of the legacy menu system is the real issue. Anyhow, Logcat extreme does work quite well.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Interesting. Guess I have been away from oem roms for too long. Doesn't make sense to me but hey its their companies lol.

I'll have to give that one a shot. Thanks for the advise.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Sorry guys, some backend issue just popped up and we were able to fix it. Gonna look into it more tomorrow but apparently it was a failover issue that didn't correct itself.

Damn and here I was gonna make some excuse about how we were still in alpha ;)
[Android Apps and Games] XxMikeMasterxX:
We're in balpha, dude - balpha.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thanks a lot [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] for all your work!

My way to celebrate beta (or balpha ;) as said by XxMikeMasterxX) : 3rd XDA donation star ;)

I will be there for translations!

[Android Apps and Games] white_Shadoww:
The app is working quite well and looks nice too. But viewing comments natively inside the app instead of webview would be better. Any plans on that?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Hi,

Please read page 120: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65478623&postcount=1198
[Android Apps and Games] white_Shadoww:
I'm really sorry. I should have searched about it. Anyway, keep up the great work!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Fiaco:
Hey [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] , add support to hide updates on long-pressing the app. K? :o

Keep up beta release. :svetius:
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Catlog is unmaintained for more than 2 years. Give a try to Matlog.

Or "Logcat Extreme", which is the one I use now.
[Android Apps and Games] Sander9847:
First of all I'd like to thank the developers for this great app! I really love it but for me 2 key features are missing.

1. We should be able to see the number of new posts since the last time you opened one of your subscribed threads.

2. In your subscribed threads: Threads that have new posts you haven't read yet, should be highlighted in a color.

I've made a mockup to show you better what I mean and how I think It'd look great.
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:
Agreed with the first point

Regarding the second point, the threads with new replies are marked with bold heading and the read ones are unbold already.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Oh yeah ! :good: :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] Sander9847:
Thanks!

I can't believe I missed the bold and unbold titles haha.
[Android Apps and Games] reeeju:
Will follow this surely...subscribing....
[Android Apps and Games] JazzMartian:
In 20/20 hindsight this seems like it shoulda happened a long time ago. Amazing idea and implementation! Integrating the forum app with this is icing on the cake.
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:
In Apps section of XDA Labs, tried searching SnapTube.

Selected it from the search results. XDA Labs crashed.

Does the XDA Labs crash for you? Or is it only me?

Moreover the app isn't listed in all apps filter. But in search results, it's description is there. Is it a known issue?
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Can you reproduce this every time? If yes, grab a log of the crash to make life easier for the boys..

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 AM ----------

We can always go backwards (to alpha) for you..

BTW, on the small chance it isn't on your list, it'd be real nice if pressing an avatar and looking at someone's profile would let us start a pm (as an option).. someday.. no rush - I write very few pms. :cool:

I've had some difficulty transitioning to new builds via the built-in app updater option. I find that when I simply update, usability suffers: threads take longer to open, the last page of threads takes ~10 seconds to load, and I cannot successfully reply to PMs.

I've updated to 1.0balpha-debug and have not seen any of these issues. Although PMs are still occasionally unreliable.

No complaints - just mild-mannered observations.
[Android Apps and Games] Easy_as_Pi_3.14:
[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] that looks like a simple fix.

"Foo".equals(bar); not bar.equals("Foo");

I have a request, download tab on the app, like the web page.. If it possible as well :) please and thanks in advance for this great app.
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
you mean something that says "apps"

Like this:

[emoji6]
[Android Apps and Games] Alex_Gamer:
Nope, download tab for example.. Threads like Facebook mod, you know?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
That's not a thing man. The backend in regards to the API handling hasn't been updated since before the 1.0.0b release candidates and even then the change had no impact on performance.

The app has nothing to do with what you're talking about, which is the performance and speed of the API. If there are differences at various times it's due to network (yours and ours) or load on the API resulting in queries taking longer.

The backend servers for Labs are something we're monitoring actively so we can grow them according to load and demand as the app userbase grows.
[Android Apps and Games] XxMikeMasterxX:
Thank you for the explanation, jack. Pardon me if I sounded rude or dismissive. I truly appreciate the work and didn't consider the factors you mentioned.
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
Slpash.....loving these last updates!
[Android Apps and Games] bagarwa:
I really need an option to add apps to ignore list in the "app updates" section. That whole section is kinda confusing. What are all the different filters there. Under installed, it shows lots of apps that I have never installed.
[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:
So everyone with Google play services installed will get this notification to update....?
[Android Apps and Games] Clark Joseph Kent:
Beautifully done, darker the better IMO.:highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
Yup. again if this weren't XDA I'd find these app feeds very suspect. I searched GroovyAPK on DuckDuckGo and only found this thread and no other hits at all.
[Android Apps and Games] Fiaco:
Yes, that thing can neither be updated nor removed.

[Android Apps and Games] elonus:
It's coming soon. If I remember correctly blk_jack said in IRC that the source would be public within a couple of days.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben36:
Maybe for the app update page we could have long press - box opens with 2 options ignore current update and ignore always

That way if we don't want it at all it'll go away or if it's a known version that's buggy (a regular for Facebook for example) it'll go away until a new release is available?
[Android Apps and Games] Mao04:
Oh! That's pretty. Are you going to make this available in TBO or themeable flavor? Thanks for your continued devotion to blackness.

Forum/site is for Developers/Power-users thus you must be willing to do the necessary steps for actual work to be done, and not, as you did, just demand fix.

I didn't know that Microsoft would change SwiftKey so much after taking over it!
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
This is definitely abnormal. If you can grab logs from the debug version that would be very helpful.

After reading your log it says the file is bad.

Try re-downloading the newest debug version and install.

Also more info on current rom and device setup will be more helpful.

A damaged download perhaps?

You tried it more than once?

App crash

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]

First time I get the new beautiful exception screen :)

Although you the dev should have been noticed of this crash, in case sending didn't work, I post here.

What I did from the beginning to make it happen (if I remember well):

1. Saw and tapped on the Youtube AdAway update notification

2. Update Youtube AdAway

3. Went back to XDA Labs app > Navdrawer > XDA Labs > Exception screen!

Logs attached.

[Android Apps and Games] Px80:
Is it somehow possible that you add github as host for apps aswell? Like Fdroids store app.
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:
Not really a bug, but it is something that bothers me-

Shouldn't XDA Labs in Option menu be renamed to XDA Labs News or XDA News or XDA Home(or anything else) ? And clicking it should lead us to News tab. Because clicking it when you're on Wallpapers / Xposed / Apps tab does nothing at all!
[Android Apps and Games] AarSyl:
Have you tried installing it?

I would try for you, but I don't have any devices that are ICS compatible.
[Android Apps and Games] Fiaco:
Thank you, it doesnt work on mine currently. I will send logs on irc asap.
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:
Suggestions :

The XDA Labs menu Option should be changed to "News/Wallpapers" and should contain only News and Wallpapers tabs (just like Quotes/Mentions)

Apps and Xposed Updates should contain only Apps and Xposed tab.

Moreover while switching back to XDA forums from XDA Labs, it should open XDA forums only and not the previously opened menu option (like Participated or Private Message). Same should be implemented on XDA Labs menu options :)
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:
Since you're taking much time, so I decided to produce the log myself.

It's not an error though, but the screen freezes for a while. Back button recovers it though. I agree my network is slow, which could be a reason.

But if I search the app name and open it's page from search results, it's instantaneous. (though all icons take a while to load, but the page opens and screen doesn't freeze) [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] here's the log file -
[Android Apps and Games] Fiaco:
Bug or what the heck it is:

Whenever I comment on a forum, it shows posted successfully and then it shows the last comment previously viewed. Even if I refresh the forum, I cant see the latest forum feeds( which includes mine), so I decided to load it in browser, and wonders never seize, my post was posted along with many other new posts. I found a workaround though

Settings-App Manager- XDA Labs- Force close.

It showed me the new forum posts instantly.

Happened a couple of times lately but sometimes works well.

Hold your horses, logs will be produced soon.
[Android Apps and Games] grilledbacon32:
That's what I was thinking too, I tried the debug this time and got a different error. I'm not sure why I'm having issues with this one, I've installed many apps from my downlaod folder. I've tried moving it different places and installing it still no go. What all info would you need?

Hey, yeah I've tried multiple times. I've downloaded it more then 5 times I'd say. Even downloaded it on my computer and moved it over, still a no go.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You seem to have the same problem as [MENTION=4279402]ceelos218[/MENTION]. Check here if it can help: from Post #1391 to the following ones...

But ceelos218 also had the problem with other apks than xda labs AFAIK... And I don't know if he finally figured it out. Last post about this is HERE and could be interesting for you.

Can you install other apks without problem right now ?
[Android Apps and Games] ceelos218:
Nope I basically tried everything.. And I think it might be the ROM itself.. I see we are both sporting resurrection remix. Not sure if its the package installer or a security of some sort that's enabled. But the only way I'm able to install 3rd party apks for now is either through adb commands or es file explorer.
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:
Did you try moving your apk file to /system or /data and installing the apk from there?
[Android Apps and Games] Toledo_JAB:
Now the log is ending with permission error.

Did you check the Apks files permissions? Make sure execute is selected. I get issues when moving files from a pc to my Linux public folder with WiFi.

As for more info, normally when reporting a bug you should give.....

android version

Custom ROM type (if not stock)

Is Xposed installed

Device brand and model

Have you change any system files using root

App2sd used

Just some basic background info is helpful for everyone to see.

By chance can you use a different phone just to see if the downloaded file is good?
