Add option to remove attached file from post (while composing).
...
This would need a modification of the API:
https://github.com/Wood-Man/XDA-Labs-Issues-and-Suggestions/issues/32

You can read OPs for more info about already known issues, API limitations or already suggested ideas.

...
Also, add option to include rom build in signature (heck, even app build); can be useful on many occasions.
I think you probably meant post "byline" and not "signature". I suggest you to search for "byline" keyword in this thread and you will see that customizing more the byline probably won't be a thing on xda labs.
Examples:

- https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post65726166

- https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post76161519

...
Oh, and saving wallpapers without applying them...

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post66277190

This link above is a workaround but this "save wallpaper" feature addition was planned for the app initially (again. read OPs as always) but seeing how priorities go, I'm not sure it will be possible any time soon.

Yeah, I guess that's it. It's translated as 'signature' in the app, though (settings> xda forums, 3rd option), and don't think there's even a proper translation to Portuguese; best I can think, maybe 'footnote' ("(nota de )rodapé", though footnotes usually go after the signature...).
Yep, same for French translation, we also chose "signature" to translate "byline" because we didn't find any good one at that time.

Btw, the workaround for wallpaper requires root, no?
Yes you are correct, it needs root to reach /data/system/users/0/

App's heavy load of ram usage. Any fix? Please correct it!

Search seems to be a thing of the past...

Members, use the search function, there is so much that has been addressed, answered time and time again, by Wood Man and a couple of the RC's. 99.9% of the questions being asked have been addressed or answered. Hats off to Wood Man, the RC's, and the Members that repeat their posts time and time again!



After all the first Forum Rule is: 1. Search before posting. Use one of our search functions before posting or creating a new thread. Whether you have a question or just something new to share, it's very likely that someone has already asked that question or shared that news.
 
Members, use the search function,.........
Wait a minute here... Are you stating that the Forum has a Search Feature??? :eek:

LMAO! :)

I just wanted to help out with the following information (I hope it's okay). :thumbup:

This is specifically for those members who use the PC/Android Browsers (as the following links only works via a Browser).

If you use a theme that may make it a challenge to perform a basic/advanced search (as I use/like/prefer the 2015 Dark theme), the following 2 links can become helpful/handy to have for searching the forum.

Basic/General Forum Search - xda-developers Forums

Advanced Forum Search - xda-developers Forums

Thanks a Bunch! :)

I would even say 100% :D :eek:

Now you've made it a mission of mine to conceive a question you've not already answered. This wont be easy. :)

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

I would suggest first reading the previous page of posts which, although not related to your tech issue, outlines what to do regarding how to find an answer. If you cannot find an answer or previous report then the next step would be to provide a "proper" bug report including: details about the device and ROM, and step by step details that others could follow to reproduce the issue, and a log that you captured while reproducing the issue.

It would not surprise me if you also had this link but just in case you don't: https://www.google.com/advanced_search. Many years ago a link to Google Advanced Search was removed from theier web UI so I've been carrying it much like you carry the XDA links. :)

Hi, i am new here how can i share my own app
Please refer to this excerpt from the OP:
...
If you are a developer and want to add your app, go here: https://labs.xda-developers.com/
...
Very personal request: If you deem it necessary to quote the whole OP (what in my personal opinion is most likely never required) then I suggest to put the quotation at least into the
tags. In turn it doesn't clutter the whole thread; at least not if on browser, people using XDA Labs won't benefit and enjoy a lot of scrolling.

This app makes it impossible to save an apk and download anything. Neither my car's headunit or my phone can download apps that I've paid for.

Either no prompt or "something went wrong". This shouldn't happen. These apps have full permissions.

I am locked out of my apps and for some reason, there's still opposition to making a proper website version of labs that avoids these issues.

Step 1) Remove drama and condescension from your communications, because those things "shouldn't happen". ;)

Step 2) Search thread for similar reports. FYI This is one of the best tracked and most thouroughly answered threads anywhere. It's expected that you search in general but in this thread it is a practically a violation of basic decency not to.

Step 3) Review OPs, and linked references, particularly the list of known issues.

Step 4) Provide a proper bug report, including specific details of device and ROM, a step by step description of how to reproduce the issue (so that someone else can do so) and a log that you captured while reproducing the issue according to your step by step description.

    12/31/20: Important update: XDA Labs if officially discontinued. Read about it here.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Hi everyone,

    We (at XDA) have been working on something. :eek:

    This is XDA Labs. The name isn't final, and this is not the "official" launch... but we are (quietly) giving you guys a chance to try it out so we can get some feedback. So....what is it?

    First and foremost, it's a speedy way to access the forums (ad-free!). You'll see a lot that's familiar with XDA One, because we merged the code into Labs and made a handful of much-needed improvements.



    Second, it's a new way to access all the Xposed modules you love.

    And third, it's a way to distribute apps-- and eventually all sorts of stuff that people upload to XDA. It is 100% pro-developer in that 1) we allow all types of apps (including stuff not allowed on Play), 2) we don't remove apps without warning and without communication to the developer, 3) we enable developers to sell apps, receiving 100% of the proceeds directly, 4) we accept Bitcoin payment, which is fast, easy, and low cost, and 5) we utilize alpha, beta and stable release channels so devs can have control in how they distribute apps to users. :highfive:



    If you are a developer and want to add your app, go here:
    https://labs.xda-developers.com/

    Labs is discontinued. Read about it here.

    Otherwise...use the app, and tell us what you think! Again, Labs is very much Beta right now so keep your expectations in check! :D

    FAQ
    Q: Where's the source!?!?
    Not available and no ETA. It's not up to us (the team behind Labs), so please don't ask as we're not the ones to answer.

    Q: Notifications seem a bit inconsistent or delayed! What gives?!
    Labs uses a very light-weight notification service that uses MQTT instead of Google Play Services. Due to the changes first found in M, Android has made Google Play Services the only way for apps to reliably get notifications. You can get around this by manually adding Labs to the "Don't Optimize" list in Settings -> Apps -> Special Access -> Battery optimization -> All apps. The term "Don't Optimize" is misleading, Labs won't drain your battery and you'll get notifications properly. Read more about it here.

    Q: How do I disable the Apps/Xposed part of the app? I only want forums!
    Right now you can't! We're looking into letting the user disable parts of the app, but in the meantime you can enable the XDA Forums launcher icon. When loading directly into the Forums none of the App/Xposed sections will be loaded into memory. See this post for more info.

    Q: Since this app is part-store and it won't be allowed on Play, how do I get updates?!
    Good question! Labs has OTA self-updates that will notify you when a new version is available.

    Q: I'm getting a Parse error when installing apps, what gives?
    This is a Package Installer issue. Check out a workaround here.

    Q: I have updates from GroovyAPKs/GoogleAPKs for apps I haven't even installed via Labs! What gives?!
    From the explanation in the app itself:
    In addition to indie apps, Labs also contains staged roll-out versions of popular big-name apps. This means you can get the latest release of Hangouts before it's available on Play for your device or country. Updating via Labs still lets you get future updates. You just get the newer version sooner. Yay!

    These staged roll-outs are snatched as soon as the roll-out begins and made available immediately in Labs. They're hand-picked by cyborgs at XDA (GroovyAPKs/GoogleAPKs) and are identical to the versions eventually pushed out on Google Play..
    You can block apps by clicking on the circle with a / slash through it above the Apps tab.

    Q: Can you change the paged layout of threads to endlessly scroll instead?
    Sorry, this change requires a substantial amount of backend work done first and as such is not planned for any time in the near future.

    Q: How can I add an App?
    Simply visit labs.xda-developers.com and login using your XDA username.

    Q: I'm an Xposed Mod dev, how do I add a banner, screenshots, etc to my mods?
    Xposed Mods are still added/edited on rovo89's repo.xposed.info. Once your Xposed Mod is added there, you can log into the Labs console to add a banner, screenshots and more to your mod!

    Q: How can I add my Wallpaper??
    We're working on expanding our dev console to support the upload and management of user submitted wallpapers.

    Q: I found a bug! Fix it!
    Yea yea, sure sure. First, if possible, download the latest debug build. Second, recreate your issue while capturing a log using logcat. Third, post a brief description of how to re-create your issue, with your device information and the log attached. It's that easy! EDIT: This has been roughly outlined in this post. Feel free to use it as a guide but do not ask support related questions on adb or how to capture logs.

    Hi folks, a quick update on some recent changes.

    We've successfully migrated the backend from Amazon to GCP. This includes an updated & more modern CI/CD that will improve the process to build/deploy the backend services. It also means we can scale and monitor those services better.

    The app itself is now also tied into a new build process which automatically signs and generates builds for testers. With that in place, we'll be able to get additional developers on board and have their contributions be merged in with proper testing to prevent regression issues.

    So what's next? Well, the notifications will finally be fixed and switched over from our homegrown MQTT setup to FCM.
    After that a slew of modernizations will be merged in to pave the way for some of the changes & additions you've been asking for over the past few years.

    This is all happening with the help of @Wood Man and I'll do my best to keep updating this thread as new builds are finally released and changes to the app itself are rolled out.

    Thanks for your patience and support <3

    Spread the word and support Labs

    Show your love!
    Using labs is supporting indie Android dev, the backbone of the XDA Developers community. Show your support by choosing one of our signatures. Each signature represents a different role or relationship you might have with Labs. Are you a developer using the platform? Are you a translator who has contributed to the app? Maybe just an advocate? Helpful tester?? We got you covered!

    Signatures are courtesy of @Faiz Malkani. Hey did you know he did the Labs icon/logo too? What a great guy!

    If you're viewing this in Labs, the NOPARSE tag won't be working and you'll see the image instead of the code. I realize the irony ;)
