XDA App Development

I was wondering if there would ever be an XDA application available to android on the market. Seems like it would be pretty sweet.
Anyone else think so?
Any developers out there that would like to give this a go?

well umm, its an alright idea, but since i own a nexus, browsing http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=556 is rather easy and fast with even low 3g signal

I understand its available to view on the nexus, I have one and it does do a good job for viewing. Just thought a native app would be nice to have.

It actually came out, Congrats to XDA for this milestone

yea i just downloaded it earlier this morning

its great in concept but it takes way to long to load the thread lists.

http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/official-xda-developers-android-app-released-today/

i am typing on the official xda app right now and it works much faster to ne on my n1 than going through the browser. its funny how android got a workable official app before winmo did

yea I saw it on a Sig searched xda on the market and now I'm a happy camper. typing from the xda app right now

Never mind.. I was stupid for a second there.

This right here is the only reason I will not use this app. I don't need everyone knowing that I used the app to post on the site. Obviously if I posted I know about the website, and the only reason someone would use the app is if they liked xda developers, or simply wanted to post here.
So why do we need the extra notification, legal purposes? Advertisement? Credit?

Oh my gawd.. sorry for such harsh complaining without investigating. Now I will use the app, lol.

ya, i turned my off

I don't think I see the point to this. Wouldn't a mobile version of the webpage be enough for this? I certainly wouldn't want a separate app for every forum I visit.

Excellent. Worth downloading.

Wow, very nice app !!

you didn't rate the app on the marketplace before figuring this out, did you?

Is there any way to make it so that when you tap the Forums tab, that it goes to the Nexus One forum by default so we don't have to scroll through the list to find it?

**Closed Down New Post Up**

Let's Keep It Professional With This Thread Please!!
With That Said, Here's A Somewhat Brief Summary Of A Few Of These Markets I Posted....
Enjoy....
ApkShare:
I Like ApkShare Mainly Because Alot Of Apps I've Searched For On The "GM" (Google- Market) I Was Unable To Find, Until I Used This "ApkShare" App!
AppBrain:
This Is A App That I Really Didn't See The Purpose Of.... Mainly Because I Didn't Notice A Major Difference From The "GM" Until Recently.... When I Gave This App Another Shot And Actually Found It To Be Pretty Useful. I Found Adobe Flash, Bing, & A Few Others I Was Unable To Get From (GM) At The Time!
SlideMe:
SlideMe Is A Okay App....
I Came Across One Day When I Was *Fairly New* To Android,
And Thought I Knew Which System Apps Were Needed On My Hero, Lol.... Anyways I Mistakenly Uninstalled "HTC SENSE" (Launcher)
And I Had To Use The Internet To Get A "File Manager" Because I Couldn't Get Into (GM) Or Any Of My Other Apps! Anyways After Searching I Found SlideMe!
SlideMe Has Some Of The Same Apps As "GM" But On The Other Hand... Also Has Alot Of Apps Not Available On The "GM"
(May Be Non-Us Based??)
App Center:
I Used This App Here & There But, Honestly Can't Remember How Useful It Was!! Lol...
Appoke:
Although It's Not My Favorite,
It's A Decent Market..."I Think" They Just Recently Updated It With A Better UI??
Getjar:
I Like Getjar Because Of It's Size, It Doesn't Waste Alot Of Space When Installed! I Believe It's Basically A App That Connects You To It's Website??
WipAppStore:
This Is A App That Links You To Other App Markets!!
Worth Checking Out!!
My Market:
This App Allows You To Access Other Service Providers Markets For A Chance To View And Download Apps, That May Be Otherwise Unavailable To You!!
MarketAccess:
Almost On The Same Idea As The Previous App (Above)
But..... "The Difference Is"
This App Allows You To Change Your (Sim-Numeric-#) Anyways, I Think That's What Its Called??
Lol....
I Have Another Thread With Some Codes You May Find Useful With This App, If You Have A Problem Finding It PM Me For Help!!
Finally..... I've Been Asked About A Certain Market App (That Exists) Which Allows You To Get All Paid Apps For FREE, And Claims Their Markets For Pirates!! Lol, Cause You're *STEALING*!!!!!
Unfortunately......
For This Very Reason I've Decided Not To Post, Or Even Say It's Name!!
**Out Of Respect**
For "ALL" The Hard Working Developers!!
If You Want This One, You'll Have To Find It!
SORRY EVERYONE!!

$50+ Worth of FREE Android apps from Getjar (Including SwiftkeyX!)

Not Affiliated, just saw this on Slickdeals.net:
SwiftkeyX [getjar.com]
These are all the free apps [getjar.com]
But please note that this requires the Getjar application. (which I believe you can uninstall after you get the apps you want!)

Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I tried it out, yeah you have to DL their getjar app. However you can uninstall it afterwards.
You can't download the apps for free from the market at a later time, though, if you uninstall them. IDK, this is just what I've observed

Getjar has been around quite a while. I used apps/games from there on my old Nextel phones and feature phones using java. Its probably setup the way Amazon does their app market.

Has anyone tried Windows 8 for Android? (Launcher)

I am a user of Launcher 7, and even though it is great, it is always unstable for me - especially as you add more tiles.
I came across this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nYWJlbGljMTIzLmRlc2t0b3A4Il0.
Reviews seems good and it looks nice, but it doesn't really go into detail on what it can and can't do.
Like:
Can you customise each tile?
Can you use your own images for a tile?
Can you add, remove and sort tiles easily?
Is it stable?
Is it fast?
etc etc
I know it's only £1.26, but if it isn't worth it, then it isn't worth it, you know.

i haven't used it, but it looks like it was made from a cheap, fail dev.

Dont buy.

I'd really like to know whats wrong with it as well, in a polite and explanatory way if possible. Is it just a skin or is it actually managing to boot windows 8?

Reading some reviews, it seems like it is just a launcher

I understand people have parents that wont allow them to buy apps. I understand people live in countries where its almost impossible to purchase apps.
I will point and laugh at people that dont change the sig from the default.
I would also bet people think because it says app-developers app they think it has something special.
Also you do know the xda app is a modified version of tapatalk. If you own the premium version of tapatalk there shouldnt be anything in the premium version of xda that is not available in the tapatalk. I agree each person has their own preference.
As for how people come here for help...how is that related to my question?

Just saying people come here looking for help and what not.....not to be laughed at....
Its all good I see I read a lil different than the way you may have meant it.
Not looking ATM to argue lol I'm at a pop Warner football game right now with my three cheerleaders and football player...its a 9-12 hr event every Saturday till the season ends.

Kinda funny. I never noticed it till I saw this thread. For me, I just typed xda in the search bar in the market, and picked the first one with the "official" logo. I didn't even know there was a choice. I don't think I'm fooling anyone with an app dev signature
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

Yeah, it's all because app developers are Linux guys, and you know how they are...
I never noticed the difference myself. I didn't buy the paid version because I'm wasn't then and still am not that impressed with the app, in general. I guess I never really considered it "supporting XDA" to buy the app. Hmm, I guess it is, now that I think of it. Maybe when they make it so that reading all the posts in a forum actually makes it marked "read" on the app...

OMG the marked as read and actually showing new posts without having to toggle between pm's is annoying. That is a tapatalk bug. It use to not be that way, atleast for me but tapatalk 2.0 did some weird things.
As for not noticing it. At first I didnt but then we started to get a influx of noobs and reading those posts I realized it.

I think you're looking into it way too much. I bet 93% of the people don't even care, yes 93%

Xda app developers might have been the original name of the site. :-|
