Very happy... Practically as good as it ever was... Not sure if XDA is considering a new app... Otherwise I'd have thought migrating proper domains / functionality as a priority would have been a no-brainer... 🙃 PW

[About XDA developers] zgfg:
FYI, I started to use another, new, unofficial one found here on XDA (but it has sine issues: notifications not working, downloading attachments neither, no option to Search this thread):

[CLOSED] [Development] [UNOFFICIAL] XDA Forums App

INTRO : Instead of that XDA app on Google play that the Devs does not update it regularly, takes a lot of time to open and has some bugs , as well as the unofficial fix for the official app still have some bugs, I decided to introduce for you a...

xdaforums.com

Unfortunately, the official one (this thread was about) was neglected since 2021 (last update), and specially now after the last Migration became useless because of being unable to Login anymore (always redirecting to the mobile browser and even if all browsers were uninstalled, it wasn't anymore finding/using Webview)

Maybe we will now have better new apps👍

Edit: My fault - "Search this thread" works fine

I use the app on the daily basis. I was pretty productive yesterday and today, posting in a dozen of threads, maybe all together thirty or so posts

Actually, I don't miss that much the broken notifications - I just open the app when I want and it immediately shows me all alerts

On the other side, old XDA app, when showing me that I had eg dozen of alerts, it took me a minute or so to open. And then sometimes another minute to open the thread I clicked on its alert

And opening the threads from Watched threads was pain in the ass - it opened first page in the 'read only' mode, you had to click View full thread, then wait to open it properly

All that with this new app works smooth
[About XDA developers] dr.ketan:
It is just matter of time and will.

It took me 15-30 minutes to fix login issue after migration of forum and another session of an hr to fix a bug (existing on official app) & notification to fix.

So once dev of original app willing to update, can be fix within few minutes. Meanwhile I am happy and enjoying (and replying this too) modified official app.
[About XDA developers] woodman:
...and also a matter of money because if I remember correctly the third party company (I think it was Audentio) which developed the official XDA app stopped working on the project for a long time (until now maybe) probably for reasons of non-renewed contract with XDA owners at that time, and nowadays Valnet Inc... I don't know if there is talk of getting them to work on it again and therefore put Valnet money on it. I am no longer in the active staff and don't know the details and future projects.
[About XDA developers] DaOldMan:
If they don't have the source code, there is no reason to expect any new app any time soon. If they have the source code it could have been fixed in few minutes.

So for now thanks @dr.ketan for the "fixed" app, as for now it's the best there is.
[About XDA developers] pogi.paul0119:
"Fixed app" where i can get it..?
[About XDA developers] Oswald Boelcke:
Affirmative, it was Audentio. Here's the part about the app in their XDA case study:

[About XDA developers] zgfg:
Sorry if it was misunderstanding but that my post was not about the fixed old XDA app but about a new XDA app developed by @ZG089

And it was my fault in that post - "Search this thread" works fine in that app, no problems

I use that app now on the daily basis (since yesterday🤣). I was pretty 'productive' yesterday and today, posting in a ten threads, twenty+or posts +PM

Actually, I don't miss the broken notifications - I just open that app when I want and it immediately shows me all alerts and I can immediately jump in and read/answer (I will have to sustain)

On the other side, the old XDA app, even upon showing me that I had eg dozen of alerts, it still took a minute or so to open the app. And then sometimes another minute to open the thread when I clicked on its alert

And opening the threads from Watched threads was pain in the ass - it opened first page in the 'read only' mode, you had to click View full thread, then wait until it finally opeed it properly

All that with this new app works smooth. I must say that I enjoy using it (I never enjoyed the old XDA app, it was just a necessity since I don't read Forum from PC and reading in mobile browsers was even less practical)

The only broken thing so far is broken download of attachements. But developer confirmed and planned to fix👍

---

Btw, there is a third app (being hyped here and there). But it's far behind - on clicking an alert it opens first post on the first page, it does not show attachements (other than pictures), there is no button to upload any attachment and so.

But it has an interesting/innovative UI redesign

10+ million user base forum facing money issue for developing an app, something might needed to upgrade!

Making app with in-app purchase & offer some premium features like ad free or more

Consider creating a XDA store : Google taking hefty (30%) + tax from developer. Here xda can provide better place for novice developer

And list can be long
[About XDA developers] woodman:
Yeah we all agree here, ask the owners Valnet where they want to put their efforts and money and see 😉

Be sure the xda staff (mods and admins) did their very best until today to make this kind of things happen. I'm sure they will continue to push.
[About XDA developers] mrjuniork:
That all sounds nice and well thought through, but let's not forget that it's run by a corporation, the old "we care about the little dev" days are gone.

Corporations -> profit -> user base -> portal

I can't view any threads with the new app. I get this error. What should I do? I also couldn't find the search thread option in the mobile site to search for this error message.

Edit: Seems like a ad block issue. Does anyone know what I need to whitelist in adaway/my hosts file to get the app to work?
[About XDA developers] xzyk:
As of 8Dec app in playstore is still v1.1.6b and will not update under any circumstances. This v1.1.6b will not allow me to login even though i changed password via browser. Additionally i don't think all mobile browsers are supported as my firefox is not playing nice. Never had any of this hassle with the xda labs app. What's the big mystery, why not just post the apk so we can at least try it without jumping through hoops. I don't care if installing this way will not update through play store, at least i can get to try it. I've now wasted 2 hours trying to just install the right version app... Thanks...NOT..

Not working. Play store shows updated previews but installs old version. App info also shows last update is 2018.

This move to xenforo came out of the blue for me. Never got a notification or saw any header in xda browser thread for it, until the app stopped working >:(

Sorry, that's little OT (and maybe you cannot answer freely) but I don't understand how they make a real profit of this Forum

So I think it's all together good for us and a Forum - ie, better than without (like with a stepfather or so)
[About XDA developers] dr.ketan:
May be a donation drive is helpful. I am sure plenty of XDA users & devs generously support it. Ultimately having a good app for community is needs of the hour.

If we observe recent situation, more and more dev moving to telegram for support to users beacuse it's very easy to communicate and address. Having a good app can overcome this. And we know what happens to private telegram group, there is no control of XDA community over that and any user just raise a question that dev/OP doesn't like, simply they kick out the users. (there are other disadvantages too but that's another topic)

I really worrying, this way we are killing a beutiful, truly developer-users friendly community platform.

Agree to previous post, still XDA leading over other forums just because of all kind service provided by moderators selflessly as well time they are spending is priceless. Highly appriciated!
[About XDA developers] ZG_DEV:

This is very weird, needing to use VPN to access XDA forums because of DNS error...

I am wondering if anyone else faces this issue...

I have been doing several tests on both my rooted Note 20 Ultra and Vanilla S23 Ultra...

on Samsung browser (both phones), I get DNS error...

On chrome browsers I get another error:

Upon investigating further, if the ad does not load, XDA will not work... that's a very odd way of handling ads...

Using VPN works and it's my only way on the phone, since XDA app is broken, I wanted to patch XDA app by updating the link, thought it's just one line, just a URL but got lost in the decompiled apk, never found XDA link but some expo io link that takes me to XDA api or so...

I wish XDA app would be updated soon, good thing is notifications still work, I just have to turn on VPN before opening XDA on browser...

[About XDA developers] zgfg:
That app is very different (not loading Forum pages to WebView) and some features are still not implemented (no upload button, jumping from Alerts to page 1/post 1), so it must have been developed from scratch

[About XDA developers] Retrial:
Hi willverduzco,

I personally use the @dr.ketan modded version and working great!

Since we are going into 2024 in few days, is there any reason to still hold off on publicly sharing this modded version? It wouldn't be better for everyone in the community if dr. released the app with tag "Unofficial Modded" like other apps exists? It would also be frustating for dr. to get pms all the time from users asking for the app.

If the "official" xda app being fixed in the looong future, perhaps he could pull off his modded app from the public.

Just wondering... it doesn't seem anyone from the team care about that app anymore, so I don't know where the problem is. 🤔

It would be useful for a lot of users.
[About XDA developers] deechte:
I'd be very happy to get a working xda app again, albeit unofficial, modded, whatever. I'm not going to bother a dev via pm for it.
[About XDA developers] RealMrCactus:
I cannot log in to the xda app as when I'm logged in it doesn't log me into the app and when I log out and log back in it also doesn't log me in
[About XDA developers] Spannaa:
That's because the app wasn't updated when the forum's domain name was changed.

It won't work until it's updated but there doesn't seem to be any hurry to do this.

XDA app (Minor modified for Forum domain change fix)

As we know, since changing of forum domain, original XDA app no more working. Here is little modified version of app that differ from original by

Fix for Domain changes

Fixed New post tab (not working on original app) (settings - default feed - New Post)

App version lable edited info about not complete official version to differentiated from official app.

In reference to this by @willverduzco here attached a mod version. My humble request to all XDA members to kindly follow what suggested by mod team and don't share this to outside XDA forum

Also here with this, I am agree to remove this app anytime if I have been asked by any mods or any authorized person ask me to do so.

All credit goes to oiginal developer of app who bears ownership/right of app/part of app

Intention of mod version is just a good will as original app doesn't serve any purpose after change in domain for XDA forum, and app just modified to use it's original functionality.

My sincere thanks to all mod team @willverduzco @V0latyle @Clark Joseph Kent @woodman @theimpulson @Oswald Boelcke @the_scotsman @Whiskey103 @Badger50 @mrjuniork and all other mods I may have forgot to mention and everyone who made efforts to make this happen, specially @Retrial

Installaion note : Please uninstall if any similar app version installed. Download attached apk and install as regular apk.

Big thanks for this, I have updated OP and this may help to get easy access to app.
[About XDA developers] dr.ketan:
I am taking this opportunity to write few words about XDA app.

As I have stated, Current fixed app is just nothing but simply re-engineered app without source to get fix for new domain as well one small bug fix, As we don't have source code and chances of getting further development of this app without original dev is almost nil. I don't know how long this will going to work.

We should encourage development of similar app with open source. One project (ReLab) already started by @theimpulson and that will be the future if original app not going to develop from source. My sincere request to @theimpulson to keep continue support and further development for his app & we should support him whatever way he may needs as XDA test users.

This is need of hour to keep away developer to move to some social media platform (like TG) to provide better support to end users with amazing moderation support.

Regards

[About XDA developers] dr.ketan:
I haven't claimed any fix regarding issue you have mentioned. So it will be same as it was on original app (if any) , for me it's fine as I was long time happy user of original app.

I am really sorry that releasing fixed app made you sad (as per your reaction). But if possible don't consider this fixed app as mine, I was even agreed to submit my fixed app to mod team without even any credit to me. it's just my 2 cents on original app for help to community. Also there is no future of my mod app if something needed in future.

I wish you best of luck and you make your own app even better than original one and we xda community get better option. I have already said early in morning, having more apps are good for xda community

Thank you for your work and service to community
