Version 1.1.7b-rc1 only strange is that from the beginning I had a problem with it. Rather, Android has nothing to say that I use S10 + android 10.

Downloading apps is broken using version 1.1.7b RC1. This is known. This version was very early testing build on Telegram with lots of Libs changes. You should use 1.1.6b (see first posts of this thread). Or wait next build : https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post81495541

I don't get notifications badges, android 10, S9, with nova launcher
Before posting a bug take a look at the second post of this thread where all known bugs are noted:

The notification problem has reported several times, there's an update announced that may fix it by switching to Google push notifications:

You can't access anything with this extrem bad working app or server. But why the former leading development portal should have a working application, we can do it like the younger people and move to telegram, a massager, what a shame. It's so sad to see the people left xda.
Now they're roms, kernels, mods etc. they didn't go public on xda, only on telegram. Or like ten years ago, using xda over browser-app.

Some weeks ago there was a announcement on a update for the week, but no it's already one month later.

Pleaase don't understand me wrong. I'm really thankful for having this place here but sometimes it's so frustrating if you want to access the app for giving someone a answer but you have to wait a minute for loading only, then two minutes for sending your post, then so less options like multiple quote, etc.

I wouldn't dramatise it that much. You still can enter threads, write posts, search for answers and so on. Only some hiccups as once in 5-6 times you need to reload/restart app. Which looks more server side (off topic here) rather than app side.

Telegram is not a space to replace a forum like XDA. It never will be. You can share individual stuff on telegram but as forum, we all dl share our final products here. One of the many reasons telegram is easier is because moderation is easier, sticky notes are there for easy access of important info and it works on IM base rather than post base (i.e. faster).
Some weeks ago there was a announcement on a update for the week, but no it's already one month later.
Read the post again:
https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post81495335
And tell me where you see about update FOR THE WEEK?!
Let me ease the work of finding the sentence for you:
Let me give a brief overview of the major changes that will be happening over the next month or so.

All I see is "what will happen in NEXT MONTH OR SO" which means in next couple of months. MonthS. Plural. It has barely been a month and you are asking for ETA.
:eek:

That is also one of the reasons devs test their development on telegram. Userbase. You can easily ban a user who is asking for ETA. In a second. But here, you will at most get your post removed.

Great you read one sentence and let the rest aside.
Also the last I wanted is to ask for a eta.
Perhaps you read my post again. Thanks.
If you want, you can search all my posts from the last ten years for asking an eta but you will find nothing.
I never asked about and will never.

As far as I see, the links to apps on XDA Labs are diverting directly to XDA Labs app or to browser. E.g. https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.company.app will open com.company.app page on XDA labs or browser (whichever is selected as defaults) on xda labs market page. I don't know if this helps you.

Or just link to XDA labs market:
https://labs.xda-developers.com/

Or XDA Labs download page:

]Even on a small screen I might use such a feature. Also on the flip side of all that (hiding as opposed to permanent) I wouldn't mind if there a way to prevent it from appearing when scrolling down the page, although I don't think there is any practical way to do that and still make it easy to access.[/QUOTE]

    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.

    Roadmap
    We wish to keep this app updated according to constructive user feedback. Here's a peak at what's next for the app!
    • CPU/chipset build options (intel/arm64/etc)
    • Auto-update apps toggle for rooted devices
    • Ability to hide/disable parts of the app you don't use
    • Super dark AMOLED theme
    • Nickname auto-complete on PM, mention, etc
    • Download wallpapers
    • Moderation tools

    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

    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 ;)
