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?

Anybody got the apk for swype

Skype will only work with 2.2 on wifi for our phones, if then. Verizon has skype pretty much locked down.

Put it under /system/app/ with root/es explorer and set permissions to 644.

Vlingo doesn't have the Samsung brand on it, though..which makes it lesser quality than S-Voice.

Now that's funny. Maybe I'll slap an apple sticker on the back of my hox. Double its value.

Thats a great idea! I have a bunch of Apple stickers from Apple TVs, I should just slap those on some normal household items and sell them for a markup! Anyone wanna buy an iPlate?

Lol. We should start a website.

It seemed identical last I looked into it.. I don't really care much though because like siri it's a gimmick.

Actually using Vlingo, i wasn't able to set an alarm. It said it wasn't one of the supported features... but with svoice it was no problem

You can set an alarm with stock Android voice actions.

The best thing about Siri to me was "make a dentist appointment next tuesday at 9:30" and it worked. I hope Majel project actually comes to fruition as a separate product and not something baked in to Jelly Bean that we'll have to wait for.

I can only imagine the surprise on the receptionist's face when she answered the phone and it was Siri on the line calling to make an appointment for you.

OK OK I meant set.

Excuse my ignorance but what apk did you download and from where?

You can download S Voice at the link below. I take no credit for making this work with the One X. Drop it into your system-apps folder. Set permissions as below and reboot.

Again, please pardon my ignorance but I have it installed in the correct place per your instruction but where do i go to set the permissions? My phone is rooted also on stock rom if that matters at all. Thanks for any replies..

Using root explorer, long press on the apk in your /system/app folder and tap on permissions. For owner check only read and write, for group check only read, and for others check only read. Leave all unchecked for special permissions. Reboot and voila!

Thank you very much.!!

Pretty vague, and when you click on the link, it downloads automatically. Not usually a good practice in this neighborhood.

Apparently not. It looks like it's a functional, standalone .apk. Gallery and Camera are both working fine.
EDIT: Just tested and even Photosphere is working.

Got it to work here. No voice pic though. Still cool. I'm going to use it for a while and see what comes of it

i see it this morning and i download to try it... i've the skyrocket with cm 10.1.0, at first this don't install, but then i unistall the galery.apk with the titanium backup and try again this .apk and it works.
the menu desing it's like the spoilers showed us, the photosphere take the picture but when it tries to save the apk stops.

Rumor that Google is going to put a Camera app on the Play Store now.

Got it working as well. Took a bit of fiddling. Haven't tried photosphere. I also notice I don't get HDR mode (don't miss it), and the Scene options are off (the description doesn't match the help text). The thumbnail post-pic is a nice touch.

What rom and device is this from? Because it's not from Galaxy S4, too much of a AOSP taste to it.

I believe it's from the Google Edition S4 or HTC One.

It's from the S4 Nexus Edition-the one with Vanilla Android on it.

You're most probably correct. I just researched the topic and am now aware of the fact.

You really should link the original source where it was posted. I doubt you found this apk. I first saw it on android central forums. Shady business..

Blackice

I must admit, i finally got my hands on a copy of blackice (the old gingerbread rom) and im loving every second of it. My 4g is finally speed happy. Only using 80mb of ram? Bah who could ever say no to that. I was on whatever the latest cm (i think 11, unless thats nighlies) is and i was happy, but always felt i could get more juice out of my phone. Idk why the creator ever abandoned it. If i knew who he was id give him a nice little donation just for the work thus far. If anyone knows point him this way

And I've browsed that thread before but the links are down. They work from xda's end but the devs links are no more. I scavenged the internet until I came across a torrent for it with only 2 seeds lol. Definitely worth the treasure hunt.
Do you know of they've made anything else for the inspire/desire? Or better yet, how I can get voice working on this one? Like voice control, and voice-to-text messaging? That's the only feature I miss.

Nevermind that last question :foot in mouth: playstore already answered it. Lol. Now to find a lightweight app for that. Thanks again

No, unfortunately I do not, but its only 110mb, what's the Max size for email? I've never used an upload site like Mega or anything to send. Only to download. Is it as simple as that?
