if you haven't noticed... XDA doesn't support it's roots anymore now that android is their princess. check out Board Express for Tapatalk. been awhile since an update, but it is a lot more up-to-date than the forgotten XDA app. XDA app is just a forum specific Board Express with XDA colors.

I am already using Board Express and is far more better than the WP7 version of the official XDA which i purchased and i now regret.
Anyway thank you for your answer, i got the point.

Board Express seems to have been abandoned for a while, adding forums is not even possible anymore. Just use Tapatalk, there's now an official version on the marketplace

Thanks.I`ve just installed it and it`s great.But look`s like i am little stupid for not knowing how to subscribe to a forum on Tapatalk.

It seams I can subscribe only for a thread and not a subforum.Anyway thanks a lot i already started getting used to this app.

unfortunatelly subscribing to forums (or viewing forums you're subscribed to) is currently not possible in tapatalk. I have been requesting this after the first private beta (in regards to the xda developers forums with its massive list of forums) and the author promissed to look into it. We'll see if this is really feasible.

XDA friendly version of the XDA site?

Just a thought, of course if you have nothing better to do...
How about an XDA friendly version of this site?
(Put the link in the top left ;-)
Regards
Scott.
I support your idea i think its intresting...
why not!
Good idea
Be handy to have a simple forum on the XDA.
By simple I mean small GPRS downloads...
Lets see what happens people.
Martin
This is possible to do with a phpBB based site. I have done this with pdaPhoneHome. We are beta testing the pda version HERE.
The XDA portal page in pda version is HERE.
Let me know what you think.
Interesting idea....
we need an app like people have for android!!!!
Actually there is one even older but development has slow down
See here
Perhaps if we all push developer will listen and continue with this...
don't we have xda app? but, only problem is it's for android only (not sure) so, why not make one for wm? Unless the problem isn't about viewing xda on a mobile device...

S-off discussion: Can we look to Rezound for help on root?

Hey guys, it looks like the HTC Rezound is close to getting S-Off by Evil. If you didn't know, the Rezound has had a locked bootloader all this time just like us. Can we look to how they got root to help with our own efforts. The method of getting S-Off between these two phones can't be that different, can it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375598
EDIT: Apparently links to his site are prohibited. But just google "s-off think tank" to get to Evil's site.
They look close resembling. Worth a shot and try.

I'm pretty sure the internals are very very alike too. The only difference I've read is the screen size. They both came out around the same time, so I'd think they'd be locked in a very similar fashion.

If they are very close then you can take their way and use to the Vivid bootloader

I hope so... That seems to be a pretty good option right now. I posted this same thing in the "think tank" thread in the dev section, so hopefully a skilled dev can take it into consideration.
Just got a tweet back from the Evil man himself and he said "we can try"

So would we use his exact method? Or would we have to tweak a few little things? I know for many Samsung phones, you can use the universal SuperOneClick root. Would it work kind of like that?
Probably tweak it a bit

Apparently he is very very close. The link said days, if not hours away. Would he be the one to tweak it for us or would one of us have to? I'm not even sure if we could post our version on here though, XDA is pretty ant-anything that involves him. Maybe he could post our version on his site.

For the record, evil is not wanting it released here without his permission as well. You can link his twitter, but you can't link his site, due to him charging for a root exploit for the shift.

Changed the title, looks good to me now . The general section usually gets a little more action than the Q and A section. My intention was for any possible devs to help us out with this. My apologies for trying to help us all find root lol.

Look, I don't like the guy and I think his attitude is terrible and he deserved the ban he got. But can we refrain from saying stuff that isn't true? It does nothing for guiding people to an eventual unlocked rezound (or vivid in this case). Open is supposed to be was android is about... not squelching possible advancements based off a personal problem.
C'mon now you're a moderator. Please conduct yourself accordingly. You could have left it at, "You can link his twitter, but you can't link his site."

As I appreciate your enthusiasm for moderating me. The statement was made intentionally. As I have had this thread topic in multiple forums and the dev in question prompts flaming from discussion as to why we can't link his site. Most people on here either love or hate the guy, I am cool with him. My statement is made because that's the reasoning behind not linking his site. I can post it when I did or we could wait until it was asked, I chose the pre emptive approach to avoid someone literally saying something negative about the dev and xda. If you have an issue with my statement please address a senior mod or admin.
I'm not a douche bag here, I treat you all with respect and do what I can to help. Thanks.

Free Tapatalk Alternative(Almost better)

Over downloading Mediafire links for the latest version of Tapatalk, I found myself running into an app almost alike.
The app is called Forum Runner.
Two things...
#1. The free version does everything Tapatalk does and more, downfall is you can't post attachments.
#2. The Dev himself told me that in the paid version you'd soon be able to add your favorite unlisted forums.
So should you try? Yes.
I didn't post attachments when I had Tapatalk because the quality had become shot out.
Give a go.

Well it seemed like a really nice app...right up to the part where I hit 'reply' and it told me that was a premium feature...I don't mind paying for an app but that's such a basic function it should really be included in the free version.

I used this app for a while and I swear I remember reply working just fine. Then a couple of days ago I tried it after uploading a new ROM and all of a sudden reply became a premium feature... that's garbage.
Tapatalk looks nice but?
How can I find out if the forums I use regularly work with tapatalk? With no free lite version it is difficult to know if it s a good investment or not. People keep referring to Tapatalk or XDA but surely the XDA app is just for XDA Dev forums and not for multiple forums (fora?) - I think developers would sell a lot more copies of good apps if they made trial versions available.
Are there any other multiple forum readers out there?

Go to the website on your phone and it should pop up a message. If not, then it probably isn't supported.

how to create a forum just like this?

hi guys, I really love XDA, im on it all the time, But i wanted to make my own forum just like this, except its focused on just 1 phone, Is there any possible way to create a forum the same as this and excellent as this one?
If so, Can you give me a step-by-step walkthrough? Cheers (P.S, like i said, exactly (nearly) like this, so i can recruit mods,etc, mysql, php etc, anything, as long as its like this forum/website)
cheers,
wilbso
This should get you started: http://bit.ly/xYjjc5
well there are lots of free websites that allows you to create forums which you can manage as you like or create one on your own with phpbb, vb etc with your domain. If its a forum, you can assign mods, database or just anything else.

Well then you have to find oue, and make it do what you want. Most forums are based on phpBB or vBulletin. I think XDA is vBulletin.

Simple. I've made a forum before.
Buy vBulletin or another forum software. Get yourself some hosting, according to the specs. Install the forum on the server using the manual. Then just start tweaking the settings and get it noticed.

Hello !
Well... Good ! But I guess you can do much better with a Forumotion's free forum !
It's the best free forum hoster, which offers a lot of possibilities. You need to try !
May be worth considering whether or not the forum you go with is supported by Tapatalk. There's a list of forums they support on their site...

I beleive the recipe is 2 parts vBulletin, 2 parts contributing users and 8 parts trolls....
Mix well and leave to simmer for 9 years....
Good luck.

Of course it did. Forums needs users and by only focusing on ONE device, the forum becomes a ghost town when a new version gets released. Its not a sustainable model at all.

We'd be glad to but we are students and cannot presently buy new devices. Device specific support is present only in our forums. We concentrate more on Android and other tech stuff in general. Give our site a try, you should find it helpful.
