Thank you for this, please accept a small (thanks) for your continued support of XDA. Have a drink on me, thanks again.
[About XDA developers] dr.ketan:
Thank you,but really staff members don't requires to. You all already giving your precious time for community selflessly and we're highly obliged to you all.
[About XDA developers] Clark Joseph Kent:
Sir, we are Members just like anyone else on XDA, so don't let us fool you, but thanks again! 💪🤎
[About XDA developers] mr.f0x._:
Lmao they are too lazy to fix that app themselves for years, it's funny that we have to mod the app now to get it working properly. It's a shame literally. XDA is dead for a while now, everything happens on telegram.
[About XDA developers] Clark Joseph Kent:
Good day, it is not about laziness, the only thing lazy around here are those "Senior Moderators" 🤫 (myself included), but it is more about funding and the new ownership/domain change and so on, which has the behind scenes that even the Staff are not included. Sure there is the "tellygram" and other Social sites, but hey you are still posting here...even though you just joined less than a year ago.

But let's not clutter up the good Dr's thread.
[About XDA developers] mr.f0x._:
And then I had multiple accounts that get banned, because y'all have a rather special way of moderating a website.
[About XDA developers] mrjuniork:
Thank you so much for your constructive feedback 😍

We really appreciate you taking the time, we don't take that for granted.

Your contributions to this great forum are as well really appreciated.

We couldn't have made without it.

Enjoy the non-toxic TG environment 👍🏻
[About XDA developers] Badger50:
Hey, thanks for the tip. Much appreciated.😁

Spoiler content hidden.
[About XDA developers] zolaisugly:
Well this thread got toxic very quickly.

Why can't you be grateful that someone has taken the time to fix/sort and get a working app available.

I don't know what's going on in the background with site owners/web hosting changes etc.

What I do know is that I am very grateful to the talented dev who gave of his time freely to get a working app available.

Android security has changed, as such it is increasingly difficult to get phones rooted, if you can't root a phone development will naturally dry up, if you are lucky that you are technically knowledgeable and have a device that allows bootloader to be unlocked and can follow the steps well done to you, as me I have a device I can't unlock bootloader as bootloader codes aren't available, if I could unlock bootloader I'm not as fully technically gifted as I thought I was.

I still visit XDA to check threads I have interest in, see if any new devices are available what the real life experience is, generally help where I can.

Nobody forces you to stay/contribute, if SM is better for you then fine, as for me I shall stay with XDA.
[About XDA developers] Spannaa:
Tried to follow this but it looks like a post has been deleted (but the quote not) and the member suspended.

I understand his point.

This 'fixed' official XDA app from @dr.ketan appears to be the best we're going to get thanks to iBotPeaches' apktool and reverse engineering.
[About XDA developers] woodman:
Well, I assume it's even worse for retired SMs! 😂
[About XDA developers] dr.ketan:
To be honest, Official app is still the best (for me at least) in terms of customization. You can set your preference, default tab and one and only reason to stick with it is "Notification". None other than official have this potential as of now.

Notification may be best useful for modertor/RC, with that they can promptly react stuff.

Regarding TG & Other social media, Just once try to write something that's not in taste of owner and you will be kicked out without giving chance to speak (yes, majority of TG group have this). Nothing can replace with XDA in this regards.

My two cents.
[About XDA developers] dipseeet:
i try to search sth in xda but it's not possible ... i always get the message that the matrix is broken ... why?
[About XDA developers] waterpolo:
Correct when you want to search in a thread. The general search function is working.

This is not app related, but a XDA Forums issue.
[About XDA developers] dipseeet:

but since when?
[About XDA developers] waterpolo:
I think it has to be broken when XDA switch to XDA Forums.

Alert tab should be working fine.

When will be notification supported and user settings like default tab?
[About XDA developers] dr.ketan:
Never. I don't like to make fake promises. App made with applix it's not possible and long ago I have cleared this.

All these possible only with app made with source. I don't have any recent plan for it.
[About XDA developers] m0han:
Unfortunately, not for me (the link in this post) when Chrome is not the default browser. Just feedback; not asking for a fix.
[About XDA developers] dr.ketan:
I've removed news, alerts and message tabs from bottom as when we open app, we can see red unread option in app itself for allerts/messages so better to have clean UI in app and moved all tabs to side panel

Bottom only have new post (participated thread), watched thread and forums

I find this better and made for my personal use and thought to share here if anyone interested.
[About XDA developers] m0han:
And, as you said, users get the best experience with XDA App Theme.
[About XDA developers] Retrial:
Is it possible to make the bar dark as it was? 😋 external links seems fixed, thx dr. 👍

Btw, off-topic: there is an app called Hermit. With that app you can create any website to webview app + it has extra features like adblock &popups etc, dark mode etc. I tried it seems to working fine.

However I mainly use your apps ☺️
[About XDA developers] dr.ketan:

[About XDA developers] Zilla0617:
I'm using this app, XDA_Developers2.15.41_Mod_DrK_10Oct23. Is there anyway to get rid of the alert message. I see it everytime I open the app or change screens inside the app.

The alert settings are turned on but I still see the message. Thanks

[About XDA developers] Rajarshi Khatua:
what about this app- https://github.com/theimpulson/ReLabs
[About XDA developers] waterpolo:
basic stuff is not working well in the latest ReLabs app like:

the load time after switching a tab takes years

in the reply screen there is no text format available, also you attachment or hyperlink aren't available

conversation alerts, like this one, not opening the conversation.

click on new thread alert is not going to that post, but to first page.

there is no option the create a thread

.....
[About XDA developers] dr.ketan:
There are few options. One you linked is by XDA staff member @theimpulson and many users are using it. Try yourself all available options and use one suits best your needs.
[About XDA developers] dr.ketan:

Update for Official XDA App with Domain Fix

I've made some changes to Official app that was earlier fixed for domain changes and posted here

It seems now it loading faster. Kindly check and see if it is better or just a placebo lol!

Newer one is XDA_Developers2.15.41_Mod_DrK_15March24.apk

Thank you!
[About XDA developers] Lughnasadh:
I think it does open up a bit faster. Thanks for the update!
[About XDA developers] Retrial:
As I said in pm with dr. If my count is correct it loads slightly faster ~1sec. Not much noticeable but an improvement 😋
[About XDA developers] Nergal di Cuthah:
Looks good, though the download came as a bin file (firefox on a rooted stock pixel 6 pro) renamed it apk and updated perfectly.
[About XDA developers] Fishawy:
Same bin extension when downloading via the official XDA app. Renamed and installed fine.
[About XDA developers] m0han:
Better for me. Seemed snappier, maybe 'cos before 1st run, I force-stopped the app and cleared cache. And, external links open in my default browser, which, BTW, is not Chrome. And, I got .apk :p
[About XDA developers] zolaisugly:
Is there an option or a way to change the download location when downloading files from XDA forums?

TIA
[About XDA developers] Nergal di Cuthah:
Only if your file picker allows it, i think that it's just passed to device file picker
[About XDA developers] zolaisugly:
That's the problem, it seems the default location on my device when downloading from XDA is sdcard/android/data/XDA/files.

When downloading files from the web I can force the browser to select default download folder.

With XDA unless I act after downloading file from the notifications I then have a ball ache to find move and use the file I've downloaded.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Only thing I noticed with this is that on the threads on the 'Watching' section of the Home tab, I'm able to see threads which I subscribed to in the RC and mod forums years ago, when I still had access. Obviously I'm not able to open them or even see any text regarding new posts (only able to see that a new post is in those threads). They don't show up if I access my Watched threads via the side menu though.

Not really an issue and also won't be very common but something to note, nonetheless. It'll just be based on permissions on that tab.

Also not sure if this was the same on the previous version/s as I've been using the unofficial app as my go-to

[About XDA developers] waterpolo:
I have worked together with @ZG089▼ to make the XDA Developers app more align with the XDA Forums. The orange colour is replaced by blue and somd other stuff.
[About XDA developers] dr.ketan:
You have to ask permission from mod committee as I have got permission for "changes related to domain fix" And not allowed to change anything else. If you want to make your own version use play stores version and submit your changes to mod team and seek their permission.
[About XDA developers] waterpolo:
We have contact the XDA moderators and also the developer of the app Audentio. They give us green light.

We want to work together on this app to give it new life. The app has a lot of features and work faster the alternative XDA Labs.
[About XDA developers] dr.ketan:
If you have green signal from Audentio then you might have source code. You can do whatever you want, no needs to use my changes at all in this situation.
[About XDA developers] waterpolo:
Unfortunately we don't have the source code. It is created with Expo environment.

Audentio doesn't maintain the app, it's a political decision.

We like to give the XDA family an upgrade of the latest release.
[About XDA developers] dr.ketan:
I'm not entitled to give any permission. My changes was granted with specific note as : @dr.ketan 's minor modifications that only allow the app to communicate with the servers following the domain change. here is the reference

Raise your concern to moderation team and they will contact me if they requires.
[About XDA developers] Retrial:
So to understand, you got green light from admins to take the modded app from dr. do some colour changes and publish it to Play Store?

Because we waited for months for admins to even give dr. green light to share the apk here inside the xda and requirement was to not change anything other than fix login and do not share it anywhere else other than inside xda.

Also @ZG089▼ doesn't seem knowledgeable enough to do reverse engineering. He barely do some colours changes in his applix app. Don't take it bad this is the truth

Perhaps @willverduzco can enlighten us.
[About XDA developers] ZG_DEV:
Publish to GPlay store ? No we didn't talk with any mod about publishing this to Google play store.

Well, TBH I know a LOT about reverse Engineering 😏 and @waterpolo can even prove that !

(y)

Hope he approves our request. :) :) :)
[About XDA developers] Retrial:
Because I remembered you said something about publishing in Play Store.

What exactly you wanna to do? Take the "ownership" of the modded app from dr.?

Yeah yeah ok..

Hope not. I prefer real developers handle that app and do not create 10000 xda modded apps.

You should stick to improve your applix, I thought you didn't liked the official xda app at all and that was the reason you made your applix app as you write in your intro.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Obviously I don't speak in any official capacity here but I wouldn't have thought it was likely to have the request approved.

There was already a lot of public conversation (and most likely even more in private and behind the scenes) to even get to the stage where this app was allowed to be modified in the first place and be given the permission and needed access.

There's already 3 options available to use. The 2 in this thread and then ReLabs. That's more than was available pre-Zenforo switch over. Plus even just using the website from mobile is more than good enough.

Best option is to either use one of the available options or, do as you started, carry on with making your own version
[About XDA developers] adriansticoid0312:
My feedback for the new app:

•Toooooo manyyyyy permissions

•Feels like I'm just using my browser and viewing the website on mobile view

•The splash screen is noticeably low resolution

•Whenever I try to open XDA links from other apps, the new app doesn't appear as an option to open it. Only Chrome and Labs appear.

Right now the app feels like an unofficial, 3rd party client. If you ever used an unofficial client for Facebook, Reddit, Youtube etc., you'll know what I'm saying. Also I'm really missing the News section from Labs. I really hope you bring it back.
[About XDA developers] Some_Random_Username:
Hi guys, this is quite minor, but could you set navigation bar colour to dark explicitly? While the automatic colour is correct on OnePlus 5T OnePlus/OnePlus5T/OnePlus5T:10/QKQ1.191014.012/2010292059:user/release-keys it's not on OnePlus N10 5G OnePlus/OnePlusN10_EEA/OnePlusN10:10/QKQ1.200830.002/2011210149:user/release-keys .

[About XDA developers] ludensen:
Any idea when the slow roll-out is completed?

On my phone in Google Play-store - the XDA apk is "last updated 19 mar 2018"

Google Play through a browser on my desktop says "last updated December 7, 2020"

So to other members having problems, take note on when the apk is last updated in the play-store (choose "About this app" and scroll all the way to the bottom)

Now I have to remember, how to manually download an apk from the play-store...

[edit_1]

my geographical location is Scandinavia

[edit_2]

Never mind! After unblocking specific URLs everything works fine! My pfBlockerNg was blocking URLs from www.googletagmanager.com and cloudfront.net (hmmm)

<sigh>With the "new" apk 2020-version I am at last able to log-in, but I get the SSL-error also posted in this thread :(

So not all the way there yet...

[About XDA developers] ludensen:
OK, here's my experiences using different apk-downloaders on the interwebs to download the new XDA version 2020...

Used 4 different sites

- 1 only had the 2018-version (11.4 MB)

- 3 had the new 2020-version (63.7 MB)

- only 2 of the 3 apks version 2020 was binary the same... (not necessarily nefarious - it could be for different platforms etc...)

But please take care when downloading from and trusting 3rd party websites..!!!

PS.

No, I''m not going to post URL's

So far -5 stars.

5 random site update causing millions of users connection issues.

4 poor layout causing confusion on how to even find my phones thread. Not to speak about the several others I view periodically.

3 theme seems to be purely xda dev team motivated seeing as there isn't much in the forum of user friendly Ness

2 trying to interact with a threads feels like a toy rather then a fourm. Trying to open them up by peeking is garbage af.

1 trying to reply to a threads causing issues saying no I'm not allowed access to that page and other bs.

0 I really had to make this list.

-1 not converting code to be usable in all old formats sorry but I hate being force to update over a theme update. Ffs

-2 opening overall thread is a hastle (I found clicking a link then navigating back to the original thread it was made in the best way..... This is sad AF)

-3

-4

-5 not even going to bother filling these out I'm sure it would take 2 mins

1) better home page (open news or subbed fourms or subbed threads or labs apps)

2) navigation menu location (left or right menu bar)

3) fix reply, quote, multiquote

4) peek should show first entire page not comments (option to disable peek and open fourm)

5) community polls for all future updates and features.

We had this app set at a 50% staged rollout to catch any issues. We just turned it up to 100% rollout so if anyone doesn't have the new app, they should within the next few hours.

Thanks for all the testing and comment so far! :cool:

Not believing me ? 😏

You are right, but creating an app with no codes does not make you a real developer, I wanted to have a good start with my development trip so decided to start it with modifications (modifications to be better, not worse) , as well as some magisk modules
[About XDA developers] Retrial:
That tell it to yourself not to me. You did all the wrong steps to prove otherwise.

No. As I said many times I lost my trust on your for the reasons you know.

Exactly, that's why you are not real dev as you flexed in the past in your applix app thread.

Having the the RD title makes you like real dev because the modded xda app it's just a minor thing the dr. did and required reverse engineering which to understand you need to have skills. He is involved in other development projects aswell.

You better start with something open source.....

Yeah, and you choose to mess for one more time with the already modded xda app just to be on surface again.
