The plan was to show an icon to indicate if it was read or not.

That would work too but so would the traditional darker tone. When is the next version expected? I'm using the . 14 version.

Not sure just yet, but I don't see the point of having 2 XDA Forums apps. As XDA Labs is XDA Ones successor I assume this app will be deprecated.

They're actually seeking feedback regarding that.
My suggestion would be to continue working on XDA One if you can. Many people just want a lightweight forum browser.
And since XDA Labs will be open source soon, you can integrate the work done by them. And they can cherry pick your commits to XDA One if they wish. Win win situation in my opinion.

I think there should be a final release with all the fixes and (possibly) the ability to add attachments/pictures to a post.
Do what you can though, not forcing anyone :)

It's been stated (about XDA Labs app) that;

A - In the future, you'll be able to turn off the features you don't need.
B - if you use the forum shortcut (enable it in the app settings), you'll go directly to the forums part and the rest of the app doesn't get loaded in the memory. So, no bloating.

What u actually need to do is enable the forum icon. Then go and force stop labs as it'll probably be running 100+ ram then use the forums icon to open that part only. If you then check running apps it's only about 8mb

Where is the debug version? I can't find it anymore?
Has it a logger integrated or do I need a logcat app to store it?
Because of this xposed not recognized bug I got.
You will need a Logcat app to read and save the log.
I use Logcat extreme and can set it to read only the app you have issues with.

IRC, XDA-one is only compiled in debug version, unless biohazard has changed to release.
The debug version is more verbose when getting logs.
However you can still pull a log from any version.


EDIT: Just read the XDA labs thread and found this encouraging part.

Q: Where's the source!?!?
Coming soon! We promise! We've given ourselves 30 days to clean things up before we open up the app. It'll be completely open source and available under the Apache2 license.
If it is open source then fixes to the XDA labs forum reader app should be able to be cherry-picked to the XDA-one app.
The XDA-one app was used as a base for the labs forum reader, so merging fixes should be easier.

Good job overall :) Having signature back is a relief - dunno why XDA Premium 4 removed it in recent versions (that's why I'm still using 4.0.11). But as stated above, the lack of "mark forum as read" is a glaring issue.

Xda labs is slow and have ads?
Well mine loads faster than most apps.

And concerning the ads you mentioned. I don't think I've ever seen one on labs!


Please explain to me where you found/saw ads show up ok.

Thx.

Okay guys, still had an "ongoing service by xda labs" that ate up to 300 MB of RAM despite the fact that i only use the "forum launcher icon" , i really dig the app though because it loads much faster and the scrolling is superb smooth, so what i did to get rid of this ongoing service, (of course you need ROOT access for this method) was :

- Download: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.myandroidtools&hl=en
- Open My Android Tools > choose "Service" > "Third Party" > XDA Labs > Disable "Push Service & Sentry Leak Service"


Cheers.

This needs including within the app itself ideally

    XDA One has a successor. It's called XDA Labs. Click here to get it :D

    Greetings all! :D

    When we launched the 2015 new forum template, we promised that we were also getting ready to release XDA One, which is the first forum app for XDA developed entirely in-house (thanks to @tilal6991 for working on the code, @rwestergren for building the new API, @bitpushr for helping with server stuff, and @jerdog for his coordination). In its current (alpha) state, XDA One is a fast (and nice-looking) way to browse and post in the forums. You can access our mention/quote system, see your subscriptions, send PMs, and more. In the future we plan to add tools for moderators, integration with our Development Database, support for tablets, and more to make it the "One" place to experience all of XDA on mobile. :victory:

    We have open sourced the app so that any can help make it better. Please access the XDA One GitHub repository to see the source code and/or to contribute. :highfive:

    FAQ:

    Why is this app in alpha?
    It's not done yet and bugs still exist. As we put finishing touches on the app, we'll move closer to a beta release which will go on Google Play. Until then, we want XDA members to give it a try and help us find bugs.

    What are you doing with XDA Free, XDA Premium, and Tapatalk? Will they still work?
    For the foreseeable future, these apps will continue to be supported.

    Why is it called "XDA One"?
    As mentioned above, our vision for the app is for it to be the "One" place where you can experience all of XDA from your mobile device. In the future we will more deeply integrate the app into the site.

    Are you going to charge for XDA One or will it be free?
    Our plan is to make XDA One ad-supported.

    I found a bug! Or, I have a feature request!
    Post them in this thread. If reporting a bug, please describe the issue, steps to reproduce, and tell us what hardware and ROM (OS) you're using.

    A couple of technical notes:

    XDA One is developed using the Android Studio IDE. A simple debug build can be compiled using the XDA-One:assembleSimpleDebug gradle task. We will adopt the "Fork & pull" model of collaboration. Collaborators are encouraged to fork the project and submit pull requests for XDA's review, in order to be integrated back into the main release.

    0.1.13 Release 16/3/2015

    XDA One has a successor. It's called XDA Labs. Click here to get it :D

    See Post #2 for updates and change logs.

    I was going to release this build last week but I had some issues with Marshmallows permission system. I didn’t realise Google had changed the protection level for External Storage access from normal to dangerous. So when I tried to download an attachment I got an FC. There is a slight issue with the dark and black theme, device images appear to have a white background. I’m not sure what to do with this, maybe disable the device images and revert to the placeholder Image?

    Note: you may need to remove the old version before you install this one; I had some issues with my old signing keys.

    So here it is, just uploaded the latest build. I’ve made quite a few improvements over the past few weeks.

    If you’re on lollipop (API 21) you’ll have elevation on most, if not all, ToolBars now. I’ve also added the floating labels from the new Design Support Library on the login screen.

    I’ve implemented a News Reader so we can view articles without going through the browser, I did create the same ToolBar sliding effect using the new CoordinatorLayout and AppBarLayout widgets. No code was needed; however there were too many bugs so I’ll add it later when they are fixed. I’ve used palette to dynamically change the ToolBar to match the colour of the image too, which gives it a nice effect.

    Changelog:
    - gradle: update support libraries
    - news: implement news reader
    - thread: fix item selector
    - news: improve palette detection
    - news: improve palette speed
    - news: improve the way data is handled
    - mainactivity: change to gravity compat
    - colors: lighten selected item color
    - subscribed: add elevation to toolbar
    - news: increase window dim level
    - news: improve tablet ui
    - forum: improve selector
    - global: add toolbar elevation to more views
    - messages: improved the pm layout
    - thread: close cab on back press
    - forum: close cab on back press
    - news: add floating window support for tablets
    - forum: fix long press FC
    - prevent FC if we get a null response when pressing thanks
    - news: make hyperlinks clickable
    - global: improve the way backpress events are handled in fragments
    - post: increase margine between action buttons
    - drawables: improve no feed icon
    - login: add toolbar
    - login: added floating labels

    Note:
    I’m aware of the following bugs:
    - News Reader : Blue squares (It’s actually where images are supposed to be, I haven’t implemented an ImageGetter)
    - News Reader : Occasionally there might be left over CSS code
    - New and All tabs not working correctly
    - Log In issue (Something went wrong)
    - Thanks issue? I think it’s because I hit my 8 thanks limit (Its working fine for me now :D)
    55
    So here it is, I've pushed all the source code/resources for the changes into my GitHub repo. There's probably a few more changes I have made but I can't remember. There's still more that needs to be done, however, this can be done later. Enjoy :)

    Credits go the original developers and contributors of XDA One, without them this wouldn't be possible.

    I am posting this in response to the posts questioning progress.
    I have decided to share builds from 2 different branches of the app using my XDA-One_Blue Theme

    First I compiled the latest commit to the Master Branch https://github.com/xda/XDA-One/pull/56.
    I have called this v0.1.12 due to it being a commit ahead of v0.1.11 This is just my naming and is not an official release
    This version uses the most up-to-date sources of the XDA-One /Master Branch and my Blue Theme.
    XDA-One_Blue-v0.1.12


    For those that want to use the cutting edge ALPHA app.
    I have compiled the Lollipoop version.
    This version uses the current XDA /API-21-Changes branch for the app.
    It brings the latest Lollipoop features implemented in the XDA One app, Like color changing status bar. :D
    This not from the master branch for the app and is also not an official release.
    XDA-One-Blue-api-21.apk


    Thanks to @El Daddy for testing the colored status bar and screenshot :D He is all about the Lolli :p
    attachment.php

    For a non lollipoop device, like my Xperia ION on jellybean, I use Xposed and the "Tinted Status Bar" Module to change the color of the status bar. ;)



    These are just my builds so please do not report bugs here.
    I am just sharing my success in finally getting the API-21-changes to compile. :D
