(Survey) Attention Android YouTube App Users

Dear XDA-Community,
It has come to my attention to all the dislike comments on the YouTube android app in the marketplace and somewhat on this forum. After countless problems in the app ( stops, freezes, crashes etc) I decided to take charge of this situation. Instead of blasting the developers of the app, I decided to help them... With that said I have created a video explaining the problem I'm personally having with the application, also I took it a step further and created a web-based form with a series of questions. This is was all done 3 days ago and believe or not the YouTube team has responded to me and thanked me for my work. They also wanted me to send the data I collected from my form. So by filling out the form from the link below, I'll be able to send it to them and they can access the problem.
So what I'm asking you guys to Do?
1) Please visit the form and answer all the questions. (Click Here)[est. 35 secs]
2) Watch the video I posted and comment on it. (View Here)
3) That's all, watching the video is completely optional, but filling out the form is required.
Without them knowing our problems how do expect this situation to be fixed? Let Us Help Them Help Us

Thanks for taking up the case with Google regarding the new app.
Will keep an eye on this, Sam.

I find it strange how some people have major issues with some apps and others don't. The youtube app works great for me.

I guess that's absolutely fine. People are different from each other after all

Very cool!

Great Idea! good job =P
maybe now they'll start moving their a**es and fix the damn app..

this is what I like, people who doesn't just talk and complaining but do something useful.
I like your style man. Willing to fill in the form, but I'm not having any problems with my YouTube App (which I use on regular basis)

Its a good initiative!!! althought I am using the app over wifi.. i didn't see any problem yet.. I still gave the survey

Dear Forum,
Come on and help pass this post around and get memebers to complete the survey. Youtube can't do much when they have less than 20 submits. For them to actualy get a good feedback there needs to be at least 50 survey respnses. I'm kinda disappointed becasue everyone sits and complains but, when theres help or a way to fix the problem nobody likes taking action.
PLEASE TAKE THE SURVEY
Survey

filled it in
free bump!
maybe we should get this onto the XDA portal; pass this onto the news crew so they publish it on to the XDA front page

Yes we should. Thanks Again!

Great! Thanks!

Not only was Resident Evil one of the first Sony PlayStation games that took longer than an hour to complete, it was revolutionary. By sacrificing the fully 3D worlds that were the trend of the time, for static, rendered rooms, the game's developers created backgrounds and characters that were better looking than anything anyone had seen up to that point. Perhaps even better yet, Resident Evil proved that "mature" themes could be justified within a good game at a time when the industry was still recovering from the attention Congress had given it sometime back (though Capcom did cut a slight bit of the game's violent cinemas). More than a year later, now that the company has a little less to fear from Senate subcommittees, it's released what it calls the Director's Cut, a version with all of the original footage supposedly left uncensored, along with additional new material to boot.

I think no.

I don't think that this is warez since Capcom/Sony stopped selling this game years ago.

Its warez for anyone that doesn't own the game for psone. You should take the links down or techno probably will.

It is Warez, and it's dumb as **** on top of that; were you planning on uploading every iso you download to this site with screenshots of the game? Finding an iso isn't that difficult and I'd be very surprised if you actually did anyone a favor by posting this.

15th of August 2014.
Cordyceps has a foothold in humans across the globe. This fungal-based infection rapidly reproduces in the brain of the host, influencing their actions and eventually resulting in physical deformation.
You're a survivor. You don't know if there's anyone else.
Over the past month you've noticed something strange in the behavior of the infected, they appear to travel in packs; although packs may be the wrong word. A 'Swarm' is a more appropriate way to describe the hundreds of infected pursuing lone survivors.
You don't know when the people you used to call friends are going to come for you but you do know that they will. Armed with nothing more than your own two feet you have to delay the inevitable, but for how long?
This is Swarm.
Please message me about any glitches or errors that occur and I will gladly fix them!
I'm also willing to take any suggestions you have, and will include ideas for new zombies.
A review or a share would help me out a lot, everything in the game including the 'artwork' (I use the term loosely) was produced by a single developer.
-----Copy and paste from the Play Store, and yes I'm hopping on the 'cordyceps' hype train after experiencing the brilliant 'The Last of Us'. Everything in this game was made by one person who is fairly new to it all. The game is somewhat a work in progress and I will no doubt add more feature and more types of zombies in the coming days. The game is struggling at the moment so I appreciate any buys I get, hence the lowered price to £0.50, this may go up as the game becomes more polished and sells more!
Thanks a lot for reading, I'd appreciate any ideas, and would love your 50p's
If an experienced member of the forum wants a review copy I'd be happy to issue one!
EDIT: Screenshots!

And the link is? Don't expect us searching through hundreds of entries on Google Play with "Swarm" in the title.

Tried editing my post to you but had to wait 5 minutes! In the meantime I buttered copious amounts of crackers woo.
This is the edit:

Is there a post limit before you can PM? I've tried replying twice and the messages don't appear in my sent box.

I've got them both.
Concerning the game: It sounds interesting, but have you thought of providing a trial version? And some more pictures in the Play Store showing off more of the game would be nice, too.
I'm not gonna buy an app, no matter what it costs, out of the blue sky, without trying it first. You cannot rely on your reputation as developer, as we all don't know you.

The link is now for the trial version
Atm is exactly the same as the paid version is, however once the trial version in finished I will being taking a more RPG style approach with the paid version and it'll have things the free version doesn't. I don't know if I described that well but its all explained on the store page.

Let's get approved - Theme Designer portfolio teamwork/suggestion thread

Ok people so here's the deal, we all know that it seems to be very difficult to get approved for the Samsung Theme Designer SDK. We also know that a lot of people have been approved that have zero experience. We also know that a lot of very talented, experienced theme designers have been denied. So that begs the question WHY??? Is there some magic sorcery required? Are we not jumping through the right hoops to get approved???
This screen may look familiar to you guys. I woke up to it this morning and was quite disappointed and am left scratching my head.

I gave specific details in my theme concept outlining how I would use accent colors in action bars and how I would utilize long shadows for specific icons, let them know what the main backgrounds of the theme would be and also mentioned font colors to contrast things.
I also uploaded screens of how the theme would look, included folders with icon samples, .9 samples, common image samples (fabs, etc) and still no love.
They aren't exactly specific with what exactly they mean by lack/verified details so it's a bit of a mystery.
I sent them an email [email protected] asking for clarity on what they need to see from us so it will be interesting to see if they reply or not.
Anyway the point of this thread is for us to hopefully come together and share ideas on putting together a solid application in order to get that coveted email saying congratulations!!!
They require a theme concept, brief introduction and a portfolio.
This is where things are a bit grey given they do not post any examples or specify exactly what they want to see from us.
So it would be great for us to share ideas on what key things we can include in each of the above mentioned areas to wow them.
It would be excellent for anyone who has been recently approved to chime in on this too. If you were an early approved theme designer that just sent in an email asking to be approved, I ask that you refrain from posting that as it is not helpful and just consider yourself lucky and be thankful.
This thread is open to any good ideas/proven ideas. Please only post if you have helpful ideas. No trolling or silly ideas please. We all have a common goal so let's work together and we all win!!!

I too was denied 2 times. I sent links to my work of DarkHorse themed Rom's, and the many, many themed apps... but was also denied..
Sent from my SM-T320 using XDA Free mobile app

Many have been denied ....Presented both theme and other work showing competency and skill....... DENIED ......... I think they are just not accepting new ppl at all Where is Smasungjohn .... is he even around anymore?, he was a sort liaison to Samsung .... need to find the contact guy for Samsung

Oh yeah that would be fantastic. It would be one thing if they were being upfront and informing us that they are not accepting new applicants at this time. If that is the case and they're not being honest then their emails are giving us false hope. Being primarily a CM themer this is what made me choose to even purchase an S6. The concept of reaching out to more people and designing themes for more devices is enticing. It seems counter-productive to limit the amount of theme designers for their product.

Well this certainly isn't going how I had hoped it would! Was worth a shot! Guess I'll shut'r down!

[RANT] People with signatures on XDA

I hate people with long signatures and have a GIF in them. Really side tracks me.
First we have people who uses XDA from a mobile application, which has signatures enabled as default.
Code:
sent from my a0001
I could not care less.
Then we have the people who adds a GIF to their signature

}
(upvote or whatever)
Which doesn't make me upvote their comment or whatever, instead it side-tracks me from the post I'm trying to read. Really annoying and pictures should be allowed in signatures.
Then we have people who have their lifes work on a signature.
I don't mind those people, as it may be hard work they have put up. But still; not my thing.
Then we have people who have all information in the world about their phone, what ROM they run, recovery, kernel, settings, sometimes even weird patches.
IF I WANTED TO KNOW THAT STUFF YOU RUN THEN I WOULD ASK YOU RIGHT!?!? As if every human in the world asked the guy and he didn't want to tell each one by one.
At last we have people who bough a OnePlus device. So what people would do right, is they include the whole process of buying the phone into their signature. Not only on the XDA forum, but also on the oneplus forums (renamed to Community). It's getting on my nerves everytime i browse the OnePlus forums. Literally everyone has that stuff. STOP IT!
Code:
bought the phone 11/11/11
> processing 11/11/12
> shipping 22/11/33
> recived 77/33/22
CONGRATS!?!
Some people also have a picture instead of text, which makes it even harder to scroll down. Like I care when your device was bought.
Something to add to this rant, is that signatures makes a page go really fast, especially if people have a large signature. I see more signatures than actual replies.
For some reason you can even add which mobile carrier you have on your phone to your XDA profile. What's next? IMEI, S.O?
So you there: stop with signatures completely, they were made for emails in the first place and instead turned to be a spam in forums, people writing one line reply then a signature which is the motherload, that's SPAM. No wonders there's not a lot of posts in one page.
I can't tell if this rant was a long one or not. Some people will say for sure that you can turn off signatures or whatever. That shouldn't be necessary, instead look at your ugly signatures and remove them.

Signatures were very popular in the past, now that many people uses mobile versions in my opinion they aren't a good idea. Forums used to lock signature images with 300x150px resolutions.

Using a mobile device isn't a issue. In all XDA forum apps I've tried you can turn off signatures.
I don't have a major problem with people with signatures, unless they make a book out of it, which everyone seems to do.
But yeah, the admins need to set a limit to signatures.

Signatures are a way for members to express themselves, pass on information, etc, etc. And yes, there is an option in the user control panel to disable them from your experience if you so choose! :good:
But opinion noted and thread closed.
