Uploading app files to xda forums? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so how do people upload apk files directly to xda forums? Are they using a PC or can it be done from the phone too? Just wanted to know how people are uploading all these files? Thanks a million. And I'm only talking about free apps/apks of course!

Its at the bottom of the reply page when replying from a computer. I don't think its possible to attach files via the app.

You can also use the paperclip just above where you type out a reply... beside the smiley face/font color

Ok thanks. But no way to do it using the xda app huh! Dang

I just use the browser on my phone, is the app that much faster?
The browser seems plenty fast for me.

Well as seen here, it is missing some features of the full forum, but if youve never tried the app before, Id say its pretty fast and convenient.

Plus the black and white theme is awesome. Plus you can get pm notifications.

Android 2.2 style Market app on Vibrant (.APK file attached)

I take NO credit for this! This is compliments of Paul over at Modaco!
http://android.modaco.com/content/software/319798/updated-2-2-style-market-for-android-2-1/
Root not required - I just installed on Stock. Gives you the functionality of auto-updating just like in Froyo.
When installing you will be notified that this is a system app, and asked if you still want to install. Let it!
Im away from my laptop for a week. Can you post the apk for me. I can't download from this link thanks

The auto update check box is there when you click on an app its at the top right of the app. Of course I'm scared to try it because that takes all the fun out of clicking the box that says "Update All"
Thanks, works great, missed the update all option I used to have on CM6 on my G1, now I got it back.
Thanks! Love the way how the search works... real-time suggestions as you type.

Probably.
Make a backup of your current browser because it may not work.
System/apps
If you find that Dolphin isn't quite what you want you may also want to try Skyfire browser. Ive used both and i personally prefer Skyfire over Dolphin.

XDA App not working on Nook

I spent some time looking through forums, if I missed the answer to my question you can throw me in the fire.
Running nightlie #95 and dal oc [email protected] 1200 mhz. 7.03 stable all the way up to this nightlie I haven't been able to run the XDA on the nook. It loads up and I can make a few selections than it fc's.
Is this because I changed my build.prop for netflix? Any ideas?

NOT TRUE!
The XDA app (free version) looks for an IMEI number which the Nook does not have. DizzyDen has put together an app to patch your framework.jar file to give your Nook a fake IMEI based off your Serial number so apps like the XDA app, Swype, HBO GO, and the Xfinity app which look for IMEI numbers will work.
Is using Tapatalk just the easier idea?
Guys i hate to break it to all of you but the XDA APP has work on cm7 since day 1. No mods no tapatalk pro no nothing. install it from the market and run what ya brung. i have never had a problem with it once.
EDIT: This is without any hacking of the IMEI at all.
I will have to try out the imei file. Sick of seeing "process com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity"
Thanks for the ideas

This is true on phones (which have an IMEI) not on the Nook...

In my experience the XDA never worked right. On both NookieFroyo and on CM7 I could use it to browse but once I tried to login it would force close. Works great on my Eris though!
I wonder what is the advantage of the app is anyway? I just use Opera and go to the website. I'm doing it right now.
again i beg to differ I have never once had an issue with the XDA app from the day i got my nook. Never hacked anything. It has always worked perfectly every single time. Not to say other people my not have issues, but both my Nook and My Wife's nook has never had an issue.
edit: Question or clarification perhaps. Are you guys getting errors just trying to load the app or when making a reply?
The error it's typically upon logging in.

When you say it worked from day one, which version of the app and CM7 are you referring to? And what are you on now?
I have a recent SD install CM7/n87 and a fresh download of the XDA free app, and it FCs everytime when you try to do anything relating to log in. Can you confirm what you're running, may have done special to get it to work?

fuul, what you describe is exactly the problem I am having
I owe this thread an apology. I had never actually tried to login on the XDA app. I just browsed forums.
Note However: Now that i have logged into the app. I can still browse fine, the only time i'm getting a FC is when i try to reply to a thread.
Again i apologize for not testing further before spouting off at the mouth. Yes there is in fact a problem, i just don't experience "as bad" of a problem as some of the rest of you.
I gotta say that its kind of rediculous this app has problems running on the nook correctly since xda seems to be the center of Nook Color hacking universe.
Then again the app is pointless when I can just use my browser. In fact I'm now getting rid of any and all apps that can be replaced with my browser. What's the point?
just get the xda premium app, that does not require an imei number or do the framework hack.

Anytime I can use an app made for a particular forum I use that over the browser anyday. Having multiple bookmarks saved for each forum thread and for each forum starts to clutter up the rest of my non forum bookmarks. An app like XDA lets you save favorites within the app itself, therefor freeing up adding 20 some odd extra bookmarks of threads I like to keep up on.
The site provides that same functionality. You can subscribe to threads eliminating the need to fill your browser with extra bookmarks.
When I open my browser and click on my xda bookmark I'm automatically signed in and ready to pickup on all the threads I have participated in or have interest in. I just don't see the need for a xda app. There has to be a reason for the app. There must be something it does for the user the website will not. WHY!?!?!?!? LOL

Lower bandwidth for one? Noticed that with the stock browser and dolphin HD, there are times when browsing the XDA site directly it has issues rendering certain pages. Could be luck of the draw and a misbehaving ad banner for all I know, or a bad internet connection from my side, no idea. But overall the XDA app feels like it's lower bandwidth.
Since I haven't been able to get the logged in version of the free XDA app to work, I couldn't tell you beyond just this if it's worthwhile.

[Q] How to hide porn from Gallery?

Hi there...
How can I hide my porn from showing up in the Gallery?
Brgds... /Tubgirl
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 using XDA Premium App
Hahaha, by deleting it.
Naughtly girl having porn on your phone
Get the Quickpic app and you can hide any porn you have with that.
^And you have experience with that. LOL.
Im interested as well, not for porn but for some private pictures which I dont want to be easily visible with others.
Put it in a folder with a . at the beginning if the filename ie: .pron and then it can only be viewd by a file manager like astro or something.
Audio manager is by far the test app for that...it doesn't just audio manage ;-)

What's this Audio Manager app you're talking about? I searched Market and only found widget called Audio Manager. It's used for displaying sound volumes on the home screen.

If you hide porn via quickpic there should be an easy way to unhide it right or is there some sort of password protection ?

Oh don't get me wrong, it's still an amusing app. It's new and a beta release. There's room for improvement. Like if I type a celebrities name, I want to see the celebs Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Not just what people are tweeting and hash tagging about the celeb. It's basically displaying Google results in app format. I'd like it much more of it was a widget instead of home launcher. At least I can keep it as an app.

If you type it out as everything.me, it will show up in the search bar where you can then click on it in the app store. But you are right, even searching for it correctly it won't show up in the list of apps. My guess would be because it is in beta. I believe the app store recently opened itself to beta apps, but they may be stored separately.
They are now available in parts of Europe.
