Read again,he does not own that device,and i have no requests here,u have no need to quote me,i have already said what i have to OP. If u are frustated in any way,find another way ,nothing i said is adressed to u,and i am here for long long time,and i know xda rules very good,do not teach me. If u new moderators or whatever wont to delete my posts feel free,but do not quote me without any need for that.

Please don't tell me the rules on xda, if you have any issues then my inbox is always open for you to discuss this but what you posted certainly looked like a demand to me especially with a !! Now lets not derail the thread any more

Hey blk_jack, thanks a lot for this new work, already installed and set up.

XDA is about DEVELOPMENT, not about some final products given to the community after a first post. You (we) must start somewhere, alpha/beta, etc. Feed is per device as stated in OP, so choosing at first a popular device is IMHO a good way to get a lot of testers and feedback from members to make the app grows quickly...to implement next devices faster.

So keep up the good work Jeff and thanks again for your valuable contributions. :highfive:

Just courious how you adding and choose feeds ? you plan to cover all things for op3 or just most recognized devs ?

Any and all of the "best" content should be on Feed. Right now it's manually curated based on popular XDA threads and content that we're made aware of (Jump on telegram and send me your links!). In the coming weeks I'll be building out a system or perhaps an API to let users submit links, and a way for commonly suggested content to automatically get promoted to a queue where it can be tweaked/finalized and then approved or denied. The problem with automated it completely is you potentially lose the human element of getting truly the "best" content to users, but without at least some automation, even if it's primarily just the suggestion of "hot" and active content, it's not feasible to support every device on XDA

This app is the closest thing I've made to my ideal experience on XDA for browsing content. Obviously the forum discussions are awesome, but this app should be a no-brainer for anyone using it on a supported device to find out about new or updated things. The entire point, like Labs, is to promote independent Android development -- one device at a time!

I really like the app. Big thanks for your effort.

I know I'm going to get so much heat for this. But this is such a google move. Creating another app when we have another xda app. Why not combine it.

I had the same question and I asked the dev. He said that it
might be integrated into labs in the future depending on how it goes. The download manager from the app is supposed to be backported into labs, and perhaps the entire app as well. The reason for keeping it separate according to blk_jack was the cruft from the legacy XDA one code used in labs. I'm assuming it's easier to do an alpha test separately and then perhaps integrate into labs when the time comes.

Labs is actually two apps already due to Google Play policy, so it wouldn't be as simple as just adding Feed to that app because it itself is already splintered. Interestingly, 90% of Labs' bugs are due to the forum browser part of the app (which WAS XDA One that we combined into Labs), so often just adding more onto an app can create plenty of issues. Ironically, a lot of users want Labs and the forum browser to be completely separate apps and not combined due to the aforementioned issues and perceived bloat.

Feed is a quite different app from the Labs store and the forum browser. What you're proposing is akin to suggesting Google combine two of their different apps, say Hangouts and Gmail together. The same person could send you an email AND send you a message on hangouts, but that doesn't necessarily mean they should be combined if the user experience and use is different between them.

That said, of course there's crossover because it's still XDA. I'm not against the possibility of adding a Feed section to Labs, but due to the device-specific content and the sheer variety of Labs users (both Play edition and full), it makes more sense to keep them separate at the moment.

I tried to download it from the play store. It says that the app is not compatible with my device. And when I search with the name of "XDA feed" ot doesn't show any app .
I need help.
I have a Micromax A311.

Maybe your device is too old. It's for the OnePlus 3/3T so it targets L & newer. You could try to grab it off of XDA Labs.

Hey, GREAT idea! STUNNING!

Now where can we vote for other devices? Maybe a voting system would be the most fair way.
Anyway, my CANCRO (Mi3+Mi4) should be one of the top devices, as it is still hugely popular here, and even Lineage OS has supported it from the very start officially. I guess that is a good sign.
Maybe not only a voting system, but also a open roadmap for the next planed devices would compensate all the disappointment of those 99% of users that dont have a 1+ V3.
Just some thoughts..

I wish on some day there will be a universal XDA Feed app, that allow us to choose the device that we want to read, instead of making separate apps for each different device.

Like the Google news and weather app, that we can choose the country inside the app, but not having separate app for each country.

Yes I think this is ultimately the goal. The group on telegram has discussed a lot of things related to this.

blk_jack · Apr 8, 2017

An update related to, well, Feed updates. In version 0.22 I added round icons for Nougat devices and Google flagged us as violating the copyright of a little company called XDA Developers.

Yes, they flagged us as violating our own copyright in our own app and we now have to appeal and go through that process in order to have Google let us post updates.

Frustrating to say the least but hey, at least we have our own App store! Updates will be coming out on XDA Labs (and I'll link them here when they come out) and I'll keep everyone updated as to what the deal is with Google. In the future I'll be doing test builds through XDA Labs. I was considering Play for that but at this point I have lost even more faith in them being able to handle simple tasks.

Thanks for app, Turkish translation done :good:

I tried Labs too. But couldn't find it on labs either. All links pointed at One Plus 3/3T.

Congrats to @blk_jack for his new (and quite unique) title!
