WIP SenseX Alternative - No root, deodexing required

It's definitely not completed (or as pretty as SenseX 2.2 BETA - here on the XDA)
BUT, it's my best attempt at this. I'll post the guide/backup probably tomorrow. Feel free to comment or leave advise/requests.
can i not post a picture?

I'm pretty confused.

WTF? What is happening here?

Hmm... wondering if it isn't that same poor lost soul just spewing words again.....

lol, no no
I always was a reader, never really a poster so the forum doesn't allow me to post any links or pictures. I'll post it soon, I just need permissions.

I also think you need to have a minimum amount of posts? Seems like links became avail to me after 5 or 6 posts? Maybe that's just when I got 'Approved'. I don't remember every getting a note from MOD, etc.

i think this is the same post from alldroid, and if thats the case (not to be rude) it doesnt look like sense at all

XDA notifications?

Is there anyway I can get notifications like we get for PMs but when somebody replies to your post in a thread? Some threads are huge and I can't find where I posted my question, comment, concern, and can't find who replied and what they said?! Is there a feature I just can't find or does that just not exist? Please PM me with the answer, because I at least get a notification that I got a reply then. Thanks!

From what I can see there is nothing like that available on XDA (I couldn't be wrong, but I don't think so). You can however use the subscription feature that is built into vBulletin. Go to User CP > Edit Options > Subscriptions and change it from None to one of the options. That will then add a thread to your subscription list and show you when new posts have been made in that thread.
I have mine set to No Email which just adds the thread to your subscriptions list, I can't be bothered with the emails it sends you.
I'm thinking this is the closest feature you'll find to what you're wanting.

As far as I know, that's the best you can get with the software this forum is using.
Unless you mark threads as read, the "View first unread" feature (either visible in the thread, or the ">" icon next to thread titles in the forum view) will take you to the first reply after your post, and the emails/notifications links should take you to the first unread post in a thread.

Activation Error???

so basically every forum i try to post in except this one and general it tells me i'm not aloud to post because my account is awaiting activation...if i couldn't post in ANY thread i'd understand that, but why would it let me post in q&a and general just nowhere else?

Does that maybe have to do with the 10 post threshold or is this something differant since it's saying awaiting activation? I got to thinking after realizing there's a 10 post threshold, but i don't think it would make my account await activation though, expecially considering i had to email the site to have them setup my account for me because the account creation wouldn't work for me for some reason. They emailed back with my user id and a temp password saying the account was setup and ready for us, so i'm wondering if there's maybe some weird error on my account causing this?

Yes, you need to reach a certain amount of post (not sure now many), before write in the developers section.

ok thank you, i guess that would explain it then

[Q] Question regarding a private message

I received a message from an account named "SamsungSupport" saying they wanted to follow up on a message I posted on the forum. I just want to know if anyone at XDA can confirm that this account is authentic before I respond to the message since the the account profile shows zero posts and zero activity for an account created roughly 18 months ago.

Any response to this would be appreciated as I do not want to provide information to an imposter account.

Ignore it.

As @zelendel said. Ignore it, the account is fake and it doesn't look like SamsungSupport. Don't give them your information unless you have gone to their site and applied for a return message.
Ignore it.

Just for future reference, this specific question should be posted in the About XDA forum, since the topic mentioned is, well, about XDA. (See what I did there? :laugh

Feature Request: Delete XDA account via web interface!

There are extensive possibilities to edit an XDA account. Your can specify and fiddle with almost everything. But:
The essential option 'delete account' is missing!
This should have been implemented directly after the 'register account' functionality. Actually even before that!
Please fix this! (In fact, this is not a 'feature request' but a bug report.)
Regards.

This may not be something that is clearly pointed out for many but, it's available.
If you go to the following link...
https://www.xda-developers.com/contact/
... You'll see various options available to you like the "Change username or cancel an account."
If that preferred method doesn't work out for you, you can also contact an administrator like @MikeChannon via PM or email and he'll be more than happy to help you out with account management/support.
Good Luck!

Sorry, it's NOT available. What you tell me to do, is to fill out the contact form. That's not what is widely considered as a web interface.
Or would you say, the 'register new user' functionality was complete by saying: "Well, just send an email to the administrator and beg for an account."
I suppose not. I'm disappointed by that answer.

Yeah, that's better than nothing. But:
I can edit my user profile and settings just like that, while I am logged in. I don't have to type in my user name and email again and again. How does that work? Well: because I am logged in already!
But the said deletion process totally ignores that I am logged in. I have to enter my details again and then have a verification... yaaawn.
Why do sites like XDA put up so many artificial obstacles for people to get away.
The easier a process is, the more likely people will follow it. So, if the process was just one or two clicks away, your could boost the number of canceled accounts. Wouldn't that be something?

Well small sites and sites that moderate content before it shows in open forums may allow user controlled account deletion. However, many larger sites and sites that permit user content to show instantly, generally do not allow users/members to delete their own accounts. Why? well because it opens the door to assive amounts of abuse. A user could post all kinds of bad stuff and then delete the account thus making the culprit uncatchable, unstoppable. You see an account deletion that is compliant with GDPR meansno trace is left of the account. That means remaining posts cannot be tracked and cannot even be found since the user database no longer recognises the account. So we would have no idea where the user had posted or how many times... important if it is abusive or spam content.
In addition user controlled account deletion would render anning users effectively useless because the user wouldb still need access to the sites account deletion system even if banned. It would allow them to delete their account and simply create another one immediately.
We have multiple thousands of users online at a time, 60000 posts per day and because we cannot monitor all that in real time we have to have some control over what the "bad" users are doing. Changing user names and creating / deleting accounts every other day are things we would be 100% guaranteed to suffer from if we handed over direct control. We have massive numbers of users and inevitably we are constantly challenged by hackers, DDOS attackers, spammers and other abusers and the ability to create and delete accounts with ease is not a good idea for us or the "good" users who would suffer the ill effects if we changed things.
Mike

Thanks for the clarification.
