Good idea but this one is hard (for now) to be implemented due to sudden school projects and school period, but i am trying to publish v10 soon
[Android Apps and Games] Gordietm:
Yes, I would prefer to have an option to select where the app opens. For me, watched threads is where I am interested. It some people might prefer watched forums.
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Sorry but this is not possible now as I made the app to open a certain page ( notifications) once it opens, there is no option for this, but I may release one that open alerts, another one that opens watched forums, etc. Is that okay ?
[Android Apps and Games] Gordietm:
Watched threads would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
OK

I don't want to surprise you all, but I should release 4 Releases of v10, which are :

1st release will open alerts directly

2nd release will open alerts directly WITH full screen mode

3rd release will open Watched threads directly

4th release will open Watched threads with full screen mode

All of this because I am busy because of school 🥲

And these releases will be released at the same time at the same post !
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Announcement: for now, the 1st and 2nd releases are ready to be released, only 3rd and 4th are remaining 😀
[Android Apps and Games] waterpolo:
May be that is a quick solution, but a preference setting is user friendly, the same for full screen.
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
I know

I don't have time for this as it needs a lot of work, so again it is easier for me to release an edition that opens a certain tab, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] waterpolo:
On all tabs I have on top of the page a big empty space. Why is that?
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
I guess you may have to change the theme, this is not the app fault, I even face this problem in chrome browser !
[Android Apps and Games] acidspider:
Change your theme to community app dark in preferences
[Android Apps and Games] samhhmobil:
"XDA App Theme" will do it even.
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Yes that works.

A USER tried it and it worked
[Android Apps and Games] waterpolo:
Confirmed that changing the theme solves the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Here look at this
[Android Apps and Games] waterpolo:
I didn't see an app notification when replied on my post. With the old XDA app it was working. Also I didn't see the notification count on homescreen.

I didn't found where this can be enabled. I give the notification rights. I have Android 14.
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Firstly : as the app opens directly to Alerts, so XDA system knows that you read the alerts so it won't show the alerts count as you have already seen them !

Secondly: the app cannot show the alerts as this ap uses WebView, it cannot send you a notification if someone quoted you or something
[Android Apps and Games] waterpolo:
Sorry I misspelled, It must be confirmed 😄
[Android Apps and Games] waterpolo:
That makes it clear. I think it's a shortcoming that you don't get any notifications. Now you have to open the app to see if there is any response.
[Android Apps and Games] Gordietm:
I selected email as a notification and if someone quotes me, I get an email notifying me.
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
After all of these days, I can announce that v10 IS READY TO BE INSTALLED ON YOUR DEVICES !

Changelog :

Added "help" shortcut in the side bar

Added "Getting Started on XDA" shortcut in the side bar

Changed App icon

BETA : Changed splash screen image "Note : i am full aware of that black space in the bottom of the screen and i am thinking about a solution for this later, also the problem is not the placement of image as well"

The app is smoother than before !

For Full screen mode users : I Rearranged the home button in the bottom bar

Enjoy ;)
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Yes, and that's the XDA Forum feature

You can set the same from browser, being logged in to XDA, and Forum will send you notifications for that thread
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Wow, that quick ?!

36 total Downloads for v10 ?!

Seems that you were waiting impatiently for v10 releases 😅

Well, it is more than 36 now 🤣
[Android Apps and Games] IamTheBRAVE:
It's due to the current theme you're using. Switch to community dark for example to see the difference.

Edit:

Lol. I didn't notice other people replying to you before me😀
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
@8y73 , @Le4kyF4ucet , if you want to complain about ads that appears on The forums, post here

+ again i am not the ads provider and i didn't add ads in the app, please check what @zgfg said in tab 17-16 maybe
[Android Apps and Games] Sh0rty007:
Another XDA app??

Now which one do i need to use??
[Android Apps and Games] waterpolo:
The XDA Developers app isn't working anymore with the switch to XDA Forums.
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
The official app does not work because of migration of domain from "forum.xda-developers.com" to "xdaforums.com", the app cannot perform a sign in process, so I decided to make a good replacement for that app and better than the official one :)
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
This one 👍
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Guys

4.0-Beta is on test rn !

New features & changes :

Loading screen will be applied for the first screen open , after then when u click on a forum , thread , etc it won't show loading screen , the requested page will open normally.

Added "Getting started" tab

Added "Welcome" tab

I Made the app work on full screen mode ( no nav bar and status bar) , there is a small bug that when u push the status bar up , it appears but it cancels the full screen mode and does not return automatically, but to solve it "temporarily", exit and enter the app again (do not close the app , just exit and reopen)

It will be released between 12:30 a.m and 1:30 a.m (Egypt Time)

Thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
4.0-beta may fix this , just follow this thread for new updates
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Also , if u want to add something or request to add/edit something in the app before releasing the beta version, tell me so I can edit it!
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Sorry guys for being late

I had issues in my internet

Here is the download link : Here
[Android Apps and Games] rgrapow:
Just to report that Virustotal raised 2 security flags, I think it's about a key that you've used to sign the APK

VirusTotal

VirusTotal

www.virustotal.com
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
What are those !

Care to know RN

Dude

Because I signed the app with a test key
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Sorry
[Android Apps and Games] rgrapow:
yes it's for that, just let you know about it, so I'll try your app
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
OK

I Will sign it using another key

Thanks for support !
[Android Apps and Games] rgrapow:
Hi, just feedback:

Bottom tab bar:

I think it's a little bit crowdy, maybe to have a setting to show/hide tabs individually.

Toggle to show/hide when scroll

Miscellaneous:

Ability to add/remove bookmarks to forums, threads, etc..., maybe add it as a tab on bottom

Ability to change/increase/decrease font size

Toggle to show/hide the XDA header when scroll

Regards...
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
About the 3rd feedback in Miscellaneous, the app is a webview, so it is hard to hide XDA header 😕

But maybe I will try to solve it in the stable 4.0 !
[Android Apps and Games] brmbjn:
thanks.

it is too small tab
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Too small ?

Send me a screenshot pls
[Android Apps and Games] sawdoctor:
Tried the latest version, is there anyway to trigger tablet mode? Think it's the only way to get it fullscreen on foldables rather than a window view
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Tablet mode ?

...

Looking for it !
[Android Apps and Games] sagmath:
Hi,

Your app looks great but I just would like to mention that your app is detected as a "Dangerous app" by BitDefender.

I know that VirusTotal raised 2 warnings due to the debug key.

Those apps are usually just flagged as "Riskware due to TestKey" in BitDefender.

With your application, as soon as you click on the password field in order to log in, BitDefender warn about anormal activities detected.
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Dude

Those antiviruses reports my XDA app as a virus / riskware because of using a test key 🙂

Again, it will be solved in the next release (4.0-stable)

The compiler signed the apk file using a test key, I will configure it !
[Android Apps and Games] sawdoctor:
This explains the issue a bit better. The letterboxing doesn't happen on chrome or Firefox
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Announcement : This project has been discontinued temporarily.
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
IMPORTANT : This app requires a new update, which will solve the problems / adding some features , and fixing that the app is no longer works anymore, idk why but I will release an update later .
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Announcement: The app will go in a maintenance state after minutes-- the app will not work and an update will be released after then, also I will have to publish only 2 or 4 releases at the same time if I have a good free time for that.

Thank you for your understanding :)
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Btw you can consider the new banner in the OP a hint of the new release (v11) ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Today, I'd like to introduce the great V11 UPDATE !

Changelog :

Changed App icon

Changed splash screen

Changed icon in the side bar

Changed some icons of tabs in the side bar

Added "Getting Started + Useful links of XDA" shortcut in the side bar

Renamed "support thread" to "App support thread"

Rearranged shortcuts in the side bar

Last but not the least : You can access websites in the app without being Redirected to another browser, which means that you can login into XDA with your Google, Facebook, X, or even your github account easily!

Note : sorry if I became late for releasing, I spent a lot of time to make v11 downloadable and usable :)

Enjoy 😉 😉 😉

Edit : OP links has been updated.
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Do not forget to tell me your reviews and your suggestions for the next release, in addition to supporting me ! 😀
[Android Apps and Games] ytsejam1138:
Love the changes. New splash screen looks great.
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
It shouldn't be necessary to uninstall the old version before installing the new one.

Are the package names the same and are you using the same keys to sign the app?

Other than this, great update 👍
[Android Apps and Games] ytsejam1138:
@Spannaa I didn't uninstall v10, just installed v11 and it updated with no problems.
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
The package names ARE the same, no changes, but the sign keys are different as I use test (default) keys to sign the apk file, I am planning to add a custom sign key ( made by me) in the next release 😀

Also it is not required to uninstall the old version then install the new one, only if the new update fails to be installed.
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Thanks for the review 😊

Enjoy 😉
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
The update from v10 to v11 probably failed because the keys don't match (same as the update from v9 to v10)

Using your own key pair for all of your apps should solve this.
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Same here 👍
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Strange.

Which version?

I used full screen/watched threads.
[Android Apps and Games] ytsejam1138:
@Spannaa The Full Screen regular version. It's the first one in @ZG089 post.
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
*pump* I have added some touches to the OP, Does OP look good ?
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Yes, it's much easier to pick the correct download now you've used text with the four links instead of using the normal XDA attachment links with their cut-of
[Android Apps and Games] sawdoctor:
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}

If it was an app in the playstore how much do you think people would pay for it over using a chrome web app? I definitely think lots of people would happily pay £2 so you'd probably end up much better off

I try v11 the last one on s22u UI6/android 14

keep ask me for a new pass but not possible to finish the process
[Android Apps and Games] samhhmobil:
I cannot confirm that.

It works without any issue.

Thanks for keeping the thread open and not removing download links. I'm also certain that if there was anything untoward you'd have removed the links so users don't need to worry
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Hello

I have observed this small issue in v11:

If there is a link to GitHub and I open it (it opens in the app) and if there is a link there for Download, when you click to download, it downloads and that small notification is up there, saying that Download has finished

However, screen remains empty (black in my case) and does not refresh, actually it keeps rotating as if still downloading - screenshots

I have to click Back to refresh

Eg, click to download from this GitHub page:

ANNOUNCEMENT:
​

Hi, XDA Members, Contributors, Developers and Moderators, after I have just found that my ban got lifted, I want now to apologize because of bad behaviors I did, I felt so bad when I got banned and I felt miserable throughout that period, and I have even felt so sad exactly when revising my last posts, exactly those ones when I ask you to donate.

For now on, I won't keep asking for donations, although I didn't tell you to donate then I will give you something in return for this donation, but tbh I confess that I broke the rules by begging you to donate, and I am sorry for doing this, the donation link will ONLY stay in my signature and every development thread of mine, I will not remind you to donate or even ask you to donate even if I had some problems or anything...

I am so sorry. 😞

As compensation for what I did , I would like to introduce THE FULLY NEW V12 WITH GREAT UPDATES !

Changelog :

Changed App icon

Changed splash screen

Changed icon in side bar

(You may think that, is there is anything new ?) I gonna say that THE DESIGN OF THE APP IS ALSO CHANGED ! (Based on the color of splash screen color and app icon color)

Again I am so sorry for being not Avaliable for a week and for breaking forum rules, I want to open a new white page with you all, so do you accept this?

(NOTE: the next banner is about the fully new v12)
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Please don't feel sorry, you do a great job

Yours is actually the only fully usable mobile app for the Forum after the last migration

Btw, could you provide a link to eg GitHub, with the Releases, that we can always download the versions from their (latest and older)
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Thanks @ZG089, this issue is now solved in v12 and there is the popup notification that Download is finished👍
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Tbh downloading from external links like github is not tested, only downloading files from xda is guaranteed to work properly.

The black screen can be solved by navigating into a shortcut like home tab or something, but whatever as the issue is solved on v12 so nothing to worry about :)

@emandt Can you please tell me why did you rate the app with 1 ?

Thank you 😊

But after I got banned because of begging for donations, that should be a great lesson so I won't break any of forum rules anymore :)

Good idea, but sometimes I had to do maintenance process which stops the older versions, for example, v10 and older is now not working anymore, except for v11 and v12 :)

And also i see that it is better to provide XDA app for XDA users, at least, to be more closer for XDA members to get notified with new updates :)
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
As I responded myself above, it is indeed fixed now in v12:

https://xdaforums.com/t/development-unofficial-new-xda-forums-app.4614343/post-89188650
[Android Apps and Games] V0latyle:
Please also remember to avoid politically charged issues, even in banners in your app. Nothing shared on XDA should have any sort of political, racial, or religious statement whatsoever.
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
OK, I removed these banners 1 month ago, but ok I will remember this, thanks 😊
[Android Apps and Games] kouzelnik3:
Thank you for your continuous support. Great job!

Just please, can you change those top and bottom lines back to the dark ones? Or at least give us users an option to choose whether we want light of dark ones? This light gray is really bad for me with the full black theme. The previous black and blue was better. 😇 Thank you. 😇
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
I made the app design gets adapted with the theme(splash screen + app icon), maybe a cool dark design and a dark splash screen + app icon may be better for the next release ? (V13)
[Android Apps and Games] kouzelnik3:
It would definitely be better! 😇
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Ok, stay tuned for v13 !
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
I have observed the following since around v11, not sure exactly but I remember that earlier I had no issue and really used to bold or slant the text while editing.

I dont know is it up to this app or something that has changed on the forum or that I've reconfigured for myself not being aware of

While writing the post, select words, go up, and try to click to eg B to bold, etc

Unfortunately, these editing options are now all inactive for me, and I cannot edit a rich post.

Or sorry, am I missing something simple

Edit: Editing now from the mobile browser, and I can eg bold or slant or

underline

, etc

Hence apparently controls are disabled only in the app
[Android Apps and Games] IamTheBRAVE:
@zgfg

Did you by accident pushed this button? Don't know its function but It grays out the bar.
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
The [ ] button disables BB code in Xenforo
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Thanks, I pushed and it

works

now👍
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Pressing on that button disables your ability to type

I Guess you pressed it without your attention ?
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Pressing the button on my screenshot enables/disables Bold, Italics and other formatting options
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
True but after taking a look on your first screenshot about your problem, it was because of clicking that button that i told you about it and You when you hit that button it blocks any new changes to the text until you press it again.

So it is now clear that it is not the app problem :)
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Hmmmmm. Do you actually use The Full screen mode usually? Or you do not even need it?
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Using full screen v12 (and previously v11 full screen) flavour

I never had it blocked editing/keyboard. That button only disables Bold/Italic/Font etc options

But it's strange, I always force -close the apps, including yours and I had rebooted the phone endless times (installing/updating/testing various Magisk modules) and those options were always, over few weeks disabled for me
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
App with Full screen mode that opens alerts or watched threads ?

That's strange, but whatever do not press that button :)

No no no, magisk modules does not affect on errors like you faced yesterday.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Mentioned rebooting due to Magisk modules only for the purpose that if I pressed that button, it should not have remained disabled over the time when I several times force closed the app or even rebooted the phone

Btw, I opened yesterday XDA in Chrome and Bold/Italic... they were enabled there.

I returned to the app, they were still disabled - I got them enabled only later, upon being instructed about the button
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Yes, but this is forum-related problem, as you pressed this button, so you cannot type anything or do anything in the text box until you press the button again so you can type on the text box and do everything you want.

Yeah, Cookies and Cached data-related problems, the app has saved your option (pressing/enabling the button) and it won't be turned off until you press on that button again and that's all !
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Another question: what shortcuts do you use usually in the bottom bar ONLY ? ( or what shortcuts don't you use it at all ?)
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
They're all useful (but personally I don't use bookmarks).
[Android Apps and Games] Oki:
@ZG089 The app looks nicer with the new icon and colors. It is great having a version with alerts as the landing page.

However, I still miss a way to remove the top and bottom app bars as suggested before. They take a lot of screen area, and they should hide when swiping up and re-appearing when swiping down.

Other than that, an easier thing could be a way to detect when a new version of your app is ready and open the page to download and install it. At least until you add the app to the Play Store 😉.
[Android Apps and Games] ZG_DEV:
Change in plan : the app will be published in GitHub and here in this thread, the problem i am facing rn is i cannot provide the source code in the current time.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Put just apk under GitHub Release and make updating through the link😁

[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
So there's currently no working version?

Maintenance statement?
[Android Apps and Games] sawdoctor:
I'm using version 11 and that is still working
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Ofc, downloaded and installed, working fine

Unless there was a time-bomb, they will work

ID understand what he meant - old versions not available for downloads now or what
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
In the past, can't remember which versions they would stop working before the new version would be released, v12 still working at the moment as well
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
For me, V11 opens then goes blank with a "Try again" button in the centre of the screen.

Tapping this gets it working.

V12 doesn't work at all.

Why disable the app before releasing an update?
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
V12 is still working as I am using it to type this, no matter, earlier on in development the old version would stop working before an update
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Strange that V12 works for some and not others.

Just tried V12 again and V10.

Only V11 works for me.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Location thing? I'm in the uk, hopefully the new version will appear shortly
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
UK here too 😉
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
I must be in the good part up norf ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Uninstalled the app.

Back to webview in Chrome which always works.

Pointless having a working app disabled before a new version is released.

Shame, it looked so promising 🙁
