Hey everybody,
Just wanted to bring your attention to an awesome app for all you freshly rooted One X users.
The app is called "Live Logcat" by Chainfire and its function is extremely unique. Instead of a boring HTC splash screen and some tiny colored bubbles when you turn your phone on, you'll be greeted with a peek into the complex coding that is your boot process. Not sure what I mean? Well with this app you'll have a realtime view of what your phone is doing as you start it up.
This app is a treat! Load it up once and hit install, then reboot and watch the magic. You can also add in Chainfire's similar app "Live Dmesg" which adds the functionality of seeing what the hardware is doing at boot up too. You can configure what you want the view to look like in the app, and remove copyright information with the awesome (and cheap) pro version.
I've used this app on my previous HTC phones and I was heartbroken when it didn't work on my G2x. Now with the One X my best purchase is now useful again, and it's still got the gusto.
All rooted users can hit up this link to go to the play store. You will see the mentioned apps on this page. I am in no way affiliated or reimbursed by Chainfire, he is just an awesome dev who happens to make the most unique and useful apps.
Enjoy

That's odd, I had no problems at all. Are you on stock or a custom Rom?

Rebooted to a black screen with capacitive buttons for a minute, after about 2 minutes I got the HTC splash screen and it seemed like it was bootlooping so as soon as I hit the power button to get into recovery I saw the logcat come up. So I waited for that to finish (which took forever, 2 minutes at least) when it finally booted up my phone app fc'd constantly. I'm sure it was one of many tweaks I've applied that was conflicting.
Does this shorten boot up times for you? If so I'll probably give it another go.

Doesn't seem to work on the Asus Transformer Prime (TF201). I simply don't get any output during booting... it does boot up btw, you just don't see anything (just a black screen).
Cool idea though
So I've noticed this strange bug ever since I've had the phone. Sometimes after turning the screen on, my screen won't register touch input properly - ill try to do my pattern unlock and it'll just jitter around and not work. After turning the screen off and on again its fixed. Anyone else have the same problem? It's happened on stock and every other rom I've used.

Never had the home screen bug happen even once on my device... Its a bit irritating but not that bad. It never happens after the screen has been on, only right when you turn it on
Ah oke. We better pray for the jelly bean update then! Haha

When viewing a topic and hitting return arrow it closes to my home screen, not to the section I was in.
Replying to a topic 6 times out of 10 freezes it and "Unfortunately XDA Premium has stopped"
Cleared data, uninstalled and reinstalled, tried everything...
Anyone else having these issues??

Just use the official tapatalk app... The xda app is based off that anyways...

It's sucked for many months now. I've abandoned it for Tapatalk and all is well. There should be refunds for people who wasted money on that app, since actually fixing the problems doesn't seem to be an option.

Isn't the official app just a way of supporting XDA? Yeah, tapatalk is probably better because it'll be the most up to date. So buy both- one for XDA, one for yourself.
Never had a crash

Never had a problem with it and love the feature to create shortcuts on my home page to certain threads.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Yes, the official XDA app is just to support XDA. It's based on and maintained by Tapatalk, and XDA paid Tapatalk a little bit of coin for this. It's a service Tapatalk does, you can look it up.
By far the best thing to do is to simply run Tapatalk. If XDA is the only forum you manage (as it is for me) take the Tapatalk shortcut off your home screen. Add a shortcut, to a Tapatalk forum, then choose XDA. Now you basically have the XDA app. But it's the latest Tapatalk, it's just a shortcut to the XDA forum. Icon is better, too (yellow "xda" on brown background).
If you want to give XDA your charity, I'm sure there are better ways of doing that.
Been having a problem with my back bottom it trips out on its own it closes apps and just randomly repeats starts being in use without me pressing it. It does my head it, it started doing it when I start using venom rom

Is it really the back button? Or is it maybe your homebutton??
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Sure it's the back because when in browsers it goes back though the pages iv been on then closes it and closes apps too
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA Premium HD app
I really recommend posting this on the home button bug thread. It seems like you may be affected, just a different button.
do you have screen guard installed?
i had similar problem before. somehow the screenguard been causing that problem.
it works fine now after i remove my screen guard.
Screen guard don't think so I aint installed it myself unless it comes with the ROM..I installed cm10 and ain't had a problem with that since. But I don't know why venom ROM is causing me problems

Screen guard as in screen protector...piece of plastic on top of the screen to protect against scratches. I'm having this back button issue as well. No screen protector here :/

No i didn't have one but got one in now
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA Premium HD app
As for me, my prob was the screen guard.
ive been using cm10 for a long time, my problem came a couple weeks after i put the screen guard on.
never had prob before and no more problem after i removed it.
if i were you, i would try to change what back button does, doing this just to sort out what exactly is happen. is it the back button hardware or is it a rom thing.
if youre using cm10, theres an option to change what the back button does, try change it to something like menu and see if it still happens.
Yeah I'll try it I really need a screen protector coz of my job I'm a spray painter so need to protect my phone but I'll see if can change bottom. I think there a ROM where it let's you use nexus on screen buttons too on screen but forgot which one

Quite simply, is anyone else having issues with the app? I'm talking about the Play Store app, not through Tapatalk. Probably been almost a week it seems very goofy. Every other app on my phone works fine. Android Central works flawless (in comparison) but not XDA
Just trying to see if I'm not alone.

Try scrolling up and down the thread it will jump to the next page. Does the same to me we need a android native app for xda. I hate to say this but even FB is better nowadays.

Xda app has always had some minor glitches ever since I used it. I found that they mostly pop up after restoring apps on a new ROM. So what I do is just uninstall it and reinstall fresh and everything works good again, mostly.

See I guessed the same thing and it still doesn't work for me. I nailed down too that one specific message in my PM box will FC the app. Weird. I had to go on my laptop to check and delete it. Online works perfect but the app has just been strange lately. At least for the most part the forum loads and I don't get FC issues but issues still persist.
I'm enjoying this community here so much I check often, sucks when the app is malfunctioning.
Now that you mention PM box, reminded me that mine fcs leaving it.:-\

For those having issues accessing their pm box, what I usually do is go to my profile the my posts and then click on a post (any). Then back out then got to pm box. Usually works. I know it's ridiculous to have to that but it's a work around. It may not work for everyone but I hardly ever have force closes that way. Just fyi.
