There's that Tapatalk Board Express app or whatever it is... but from my experience it's crappy... I would like a native app somewhere along the lines of the Android version...

Hi
Anyone have an update on this question, I would like an app like this too?
Regards

There are already two apps I know of for XDA on WP7 (although not used them so can't comment more). Search Zune for:
Fast XDA
xda-developers

The stand alone app is $0.99 in the marketplace .

Unfortunately is has received only one update so far. The "parent" app Board Express has received a few more updates recently. Full Mango support, Thanks button etc. I hope the XDA app will be updated as well, since the developer of both apps is the same.

I much love the Fast XDA app, however for now it's limited as 'read-only' but the read-only is well presented, neat and fast - Love that app, am following it's updates etc, hope the dev would be generous enough to add few more functions and make and read&write.

Fast XDA is good, but it doesn't have the comment functionality. i dont know what the another one looks like. :-(

Tried Fast XDA, but it wouldn't list the forums, and I can't use the official, it isn't available in me region. But found this Board Express and it seams to work fine, thanks guys!

N64 app

What happened to it? I paid the $5 a couple of weeks ago and loved playing with the emulator. I wiped my phone and started with a clean slate and a new rom. I went to go redowload the app and its no longer in the market. I'm not sure if this is allowed, but if someone could post the apk to n64oid if you have it, that would be great!

The reason why the n64 emulator is not on the market is because the developer of the emulator took it off the market because he didn't want any bad ratings

i believe it will be back up in about 2 months.
but he is doing fixes to it so its not a buggy beta.
(prays CM7 team doesn't do that)
I do have the apk but i believe under XDA rules we cant share it because if i believe the term is right Warez?

Aww man, I didn't find anything wrong with it. I didn't know if you were allowed to PM me the apk since I have bought it in the past? If not, are you still able to look up the developers email address?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I don't recommend you even ask someone to PM you the .apk, since it could still be considered requesting wares which would earn you an infraction.
Also, if you already bought the app I suggest you try contacting the developer and try to work something out.

Is it still warez if I have bought it?
*edit* I don't mind contacting the developer, but I can't even do that since I don't have his email and its not listed in the market...

Yes, simply because we have no way of knowing you really did. No offense or accusation intended, it's just a fact of life.

Thanks, I emailed him. I will let you know if anything comes o it

always feel free to hit the "thanks" button
hope he replies.
i know it sucks when losing a app you paid for.
do you happen to have the "shoot me " app for a screen shot of your market? may help sending it to him to show you paid?

I will hit the thanks button when I have access to a computer
It doesn't even show in my apps I bought section of the android market, so I can't take a screen capture. Only way to prove is to show a screen shot of my bank account. But even then, I don't think it shoes which app I bought

Any idea how? I'm looking through my orders on the Android Market website, and it's not showing up - I presume because the app is no longer on the market. I can't find a section on the site to show billing history or something of that nature.

Nevermind, I found out how. You don't actually look for it using the Android market, you have to go to www.checkout.google.com to look up your billing history. Anyway, here's my proof in case any doubts were raised
*edit* removed picture

U shouldn't post that picture
For all you know I could send that same exact picture with minor modifications to the dev to you knows not that I would

N64 app would be neat, give starcraft 64 a go.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Just got this reply from the developer. Great guy!
A great number of users are complaining about the compatibility and running performance. Considering the bad ratings, I temporarily unpublished N64oid. I am doing a rewrite of some of the core modules. Don't worry, N64oid will be back much better in a month. And of course you won't have to pay for it again.
Attached is the apk file.
Thanks for the understanding! I won't let people down.

Strange

I just downloaded an app from the marketplace, and after install I had alphabetical letters separating my apps in the app list which wasn't there before. I uninstalled the app and the letters disappeared aswell. So I installed another app and the letters appeared again. Strange. Anyone else had this or am I going insane?

it appears after a certain number of apps have been installed to help you search quicker.

Nice one mate. You learn something new every day. MODS can delete this post now I guess
Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

It is new with Mango.
I wish it could just be enabled manually as I don't have anywhere near that magical number installed yet, but still think it would be faster to use the quick jump list.

I'm the opposite. I want to toggle this off no matter how many apps I have.

You have search button.....

XDA WP7 app needs an update

Well kinda think the app needs to be mangofied. Multitasking support, quick app resume, more stability and speed, theme options, plenty. Just thought I'd make this thread to gain traction so post ur support.
Seems like support is dead so would XDA allow some members to work on this app. I'm pretty sure plenty of mems would like to do this and it shows great community support.

I also agree that the xda wp7 app needs updating. The post edit feature doesn't work well on my samsuung focus.

+1 the app is a bit laggy at the moment, could definitely use an update.

The Android Premium version recieved an update not too long ago, so there's still hope. There are some things that should be improved:
- 16 Bit banding, which is said to be app related rather than OS related (though I doubt that).
- editting a post never works flawlessly, since you can't really scroll down to the bottom of the message box. Happens in larger quoted messages as well.
- scrolling should definitely be improved a lot. I've rarely seen apps with such horrible laggy scrolling.

There's only one version on the market as far as I can tell. Come people let our voices be heard.

it needs a free version too. Howardforums offers their app for free but not this site.

Yeah I paid for the app to support xda but the app is subpar. Probably the only app that lags for me and I have over 100 apps installed
Sent from my T8788 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

It's very bad, needs a major fix.
Why not do something like touch.boards.ie it works so much better and faster than xda.

+1 for that XDA APP is a must!!

yes, this xda app is the worst performing app on my phone.
The inability to scroll to the bottom while creating a long post is quite aggravating.
It's embarrassing that a developer forum has such a crappy app.

Its just a skin over board express right? That all would need to be updated first.

+1 def needs an update esp as mango is now out and about in the playing field

XDA didn't develop the App, it's basically a stripped down version of Board Express, IIRC, just like the Android app is a Stripped Down Version of TapaTalk. You can pay to have them produce a customized version just for your forum.
And yes, that app is terrible. A ton of paid apps are basically unsupported these days, I guess since the Developers made a good chunk of cash and don't feel hte need to devote anymore of their free time to it.
Birdsong is another example. Literally unsupported right now.
Should start a Sticky Thread for apps that have fallen out of support to tell people to avoid them, IMO. Can't support your app, you don't deserve good word of mouth, IMO.

Yeah, WP7 badly needs a proper Tapatalk-style app. Board Express is awful and the developer has gone AWOL.
If I remember correctly, I did see something on the Board Express website about reskinning/rebranding costing $999 or so. I could be remembering it wrong, and the info is no longer on the website...but damn. If a few gullible fools did that, no wonder the guy has disappeared. Talk about making a fast buck.
I totally support the idea of a thread for abandoned apps...given that the quality of reviewers on the Marketplace is fairly low it's often hard to tell whether an app is any good, especially if the trial is heavily stripped down or doesn't even exist.

YEA ABANDONED THREAD WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA. aLSO $999 THOSE BASTARDS.

I wouldnt trust it, until theres an app coming from apple.

According to The Verge the data is sent to China then to Apple. They recommend using throwaway Apple ID's instead of your primary one

Not only that though but apparently the app can install apks on your device without your permission if installed. I wouldn't trust this app at all. Cool concept but providing too much access to the developer and who knows who else.

I also read about this app. For Apple devices to think it's an apple device messaging them, the text you send, has to go to a third party server in China, and then to the recipient. Use at your own risk.

Your advice would work... if Google hadn't already pulled it from the Play Store.

Can somebody Please PM me with the apk or post it here ? The app was free (I guess), so it isn't warez right ?
EDIT: I found the app, but when I try to login the verify goes to about 50% and then nothing happens. Anybody else having this problem ?

Don't trust it.

If there's any chance it's from apple, don't trust it.
