This app is always really unresponsive, especially in first use. Trying to scroll a page can cause freezes for a few seconds.
Not seeing this with any other function. Stock Google factory build with Franco kernel running stock settings.
I bought the app for simplicity and speed over having to use a browser but the browser is normally faster?
Ideas?
Its junk and I would never pay for it. I prefer XDA desktop in Dolphin browser!
XDA app is really weak. You can try tapatalk, but it's also slow while scrolling, etc. Just poor coded apps from what I've been told. You can try tweaking your system to improve performance in the app, but it won't be perfect.
aosp browser with xda only, no apps needed nor wanted. always fast this way
I've said a million times the only reason I use Tapatalk is because there aren't any alternatives. XDA app is pretty much the same thing.
I cant complain about app, its works, notification works fast, no problems, sometimes kinda slow loading, but never crash
Good to know. Surprising given the skill of many people on this forum, a simple app like this should be perfect..... They have my money so too late for me! Back to the browser.

Tapatalk isn't made by XDA. The XDA app is also just a branded and licensed Tapatalk client. No apps are "perfect" either, regardless whoever created it.

I didn't know that. Even more surprising that the brilliance within the xda community would put their name to this crud.

Not sure if it can be considered as a serious alternative but give a try to Forum Fiend. I didn't test recent updates but the user experience was slightly different compared to Tapatalk.

Its just that there are hardly any good alternatives. Most forums apps you can find will be based on the Tapatalk API anyways, too.

Can't come fast enough. I do have a feature request for XDA One. I want it to data mine all the links I press and send me to an XDA redirect that's down half the time, pr2-xda-devolpers.com. Make that happen, and I'm on board. Oh, and I want little XDA branding on all the screenshots I upload.

O frabjous day, calloo callay! This is pleasant news because I don't think it can be overstated how ghastly and absolutely horrid the Tapatalk user experience and design are.
Looking foward to the new app however; it's obvious the current one is lacking and far behind
That is wonderful news. I have one question not related to the actual development of the app, will it replace the free and premium apps or become a new app? (Reason being is I bought both Tapatalk and XDA Pro)
Try Tapatalk, it just got better.

How about an XDA friendly version of this site?

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.

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...

I never use the XDA App on my Nexus. It's all, boring..... Just an endless sea of black with white text.....
This is my first post and I would like to say hello to everyone on the forum and thank for the wealth of valuable information that is here.
I would also like to share the application that I recently found that solved one of my needs on all my Android devices.
It's called Tachometer and it adds a speedometer to Google Navigation. Its takes a few minutes to fine tune it but it is exactly what Google Nav needs.
Hope this helps and keep up the great work!

No, that is not the case. This is a function that a lot of people have asked for from Google Nav. I thought this might be the appropriate place to tell others about it but I guess its not.

This has to be the best app. Does it come with a universal cable that I can hook up to my vehicle? I mean how else would it be a tachometer. It's going to tell me my rpm's right?

It's called Tachometer. Why call it what it doesn't do? I saw what he said. Call it speedometer instead.
I want to give Google+ another go - who do you follow that makes it worth visiting in the absence of any of my friends being on there?
Even though I love the way Google + works, none of my friends are there. Having said that I follow, Google, XDA, Shen Ye, IGN, and some other unknown people which Google thinks that they are interesting
Follow your devs, Android news pages and check the what's hot section. Google+ is full of sane people and there are almost no idiots.

I just signed up a few nights ago, but i haven't done anything with it yet. I'm not even motivated. I'm not a big fan of social networks. So signing up was as far as I got, but most people I would consider following are already on XDA, and redundancy is something I'm trying to do away with in my life.
So, we'll see.

Free Website Design for XDA Members
As the title states, I am going to be making websites for XDA members, as long as any one of the points below apply:
a) Simple, no online payments/logins/etc
b) Really in a short budget and need someone to make their website
c) A non-profit/small business that needs someone to help with their site
d) Have some time on their hands(It will usually take 2 days for a site)
e) Want to get a free website design!
Q. Why am I doing this?
A: I am a fairly new web developer who has about 4 websites under his belt(Examples Below) and would like to simply help people while gaining some experience. All my four clients are from four different countries, and 1 XDA member is also part of them.
Q.Why should I trust YOU?
A: Because there is nothing to lose from getting a website from me, and you are not forced to do so:good:
Q.Will you make me a 300 page megasite with huge requirements?
A: As much as I want to, I really do not have the time, nor the will to design something >60 pages.
Q. What do you use to make your site?Will you provide me with manual project files?
A: This is a very personal question for me, and I am not comfortable to answer this question. I will though, let you know that most of the project is done with notepad. That is all I can tell you. I can not provide you with the manual project files. Sorry.
Q. Have you ever worked with any XDA members' site?
A: Yes, I have. I have worked with user JONBOY345 and I am sure he has positive feedback from me.
Q. I have more questions.
A: PM Me.
Things that I need to build your site:
1. Your FTP Username
2. Your FTP Password
Sites I had made:
Site 1
Site 2

Okay - I'll bite.
First off, I was careful in my wording. Html is used for making websites - not websites are made with html
Secondly, Python (if used for web development) is a server-side language, so you'd still need html to get a working site
Question still makes no sense though! :silly:

I can't speak for everyone, but if you are into it and actually want to learn it, it is more fun than "How hard is it?"
I am not studying web developing, but I did my research for a long time(>2 years).
There will be times you wish you never took it, especially when learning some CSS(GODDAMN APOSTROPHE KEY Y U NO BECOME AUTOMATIC SOMETIMES) but all in all, it is very worth it. You don't have to get a job to earn some small $$$, because you can tell people, advertise online, etc.

Hi, I like to keep this secret(My tools) but if you try hard you can easily tell what I used. I'll give you some hints, I use a combo of Adobe: PS, Fireworks, Dreamweaver and sometimes I get scripts and position them accordingly. I will be honest here, NONE of my sites are completely based off notepad, and upon consulting more of my web dev colleagues, I have learned that using notepad/notepad++ is too time consuming and actually decreases productivity.
However, at the end of the day, if the client is happy regardless of what I used to make it, I am also happy.

You should get used to play with this new UI but I would not say it's awful.
BTW Tapatalk has now access to your position and accounts (I saw these requests through Xprivacy).
Subscribed didn't show any forums
You couldn't tell what was read and unread
You couldn't mark forums as read.
When you finally got to the forum you subscribe to and went to a topic, going back takes you right out of the forum.
In my opinion definitely awful is the best description
