XDA Gallery - Chrome Extension - Now on Chrome Store - About xda-developers.com

What is it:
This is a quick extension I coded up to turn XDA threads into an image gallery. The extension button will enable when you're on a topic that it is able to translate, clicking it will open a new tab that dynamically fetches images as your scroll down. Keep in mind this is an Alpha, did it in one day, so it may ( read "most likely" ) will have problems. Its great on those "Post your screenshots" ( wallpapers, cases, whatever ) type threads.​
Permissions:
- "Access your data on forum.xda-developers.com" - This is to fetch images from the forum, I haven't messed around with removing it since I was just using this personally but decided to release to you. Promise I don't care, nor gather, anything about what you do on XDA.
- "Access your tabs and browsing activity" - This is to detect when you switch between tabs and enable/disable the extension button. Also I do have this hooked into Google Analytics now, but I only gather extension page views to see what's being used. In the future I'll be hooking it into events as I add features( if it's popular enough ) to decide where to put my efforts. No personal information is collected.
- "Storage": Allow extension to save Extension Settings.​
How to Install:
New: Added to official Chrome store now just add via https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xda-gallery-beta/bohmnlfnbncjhpjagccfgblhcdgicdnp​
Reporting Bugs:
If you'd like to report bugs then please give me the thread you had an issue with, and if you can narrow it down to an image then link to the post containing that image ( if it's working, there is a link under each image to bring you to the post. ).​
What's Next:
Currently the extension will start showing images from the forum page you launched it from. Going to implement a way to jump to the beginning or specific page.
Implement scrolling upwards to load the previous pages images, this is needed for the next item.
Lots more ideas for "community" type features But gotta get the basics hammered down first!
Change Log:
3/15/2013
Added an "Advanced" options section allowing you to override the number of images and fetch all of them. ( If it doesn't work correctly on some thread blame mon5trum, he requested it )
Some bug fixes
3/9/2013
Now when viewing images in the popup you can click to view prev and next, or just use the arrow keys to navigate!
New Extension Settings page, styled to blend in and match chromes style for settings.
Setting to adjust the minimum number of images to fetch( Careful here as it wont render any images until it finds at least this number, could take awhile if you try and use on a thread that doesn't have many images ).
Setting to turn on debug mode ( Will show logging in the Chrome console. NOTE: I'd leave this disabled unless you need to troubleshoot an issue as it could slow down logic a bit )
3/7/2013
Lots of fixes and enhancements in this one.
First off, thanks to Pooley! He is an awesome guy, and very talented. Thanks to him with have a great, professional looking icon!
Aspect ratio is now respected
Added image zoom capability
Now identify images with broken links and shows in small window( as to not break scrolling functionality for now )
Images should also layout nicely in a column format
Fixed quite a few bugs( hopefully without creating new ones )
Hmmm... seems like there should be more, but I'm too lazy to look at my commit log, so just check it out
3/2/2013
NEW: Now on the official Chrome Web Store
Starting to work on the look a bit, its still pretty ugly lol... What can I say, graphic design isn't my thing, but it'll get better
1/27/2013
Pretty much a complete rewrite
Fixed loading duplicate issues
Better error handling( Will tell you when it's reached the end of the thread )
Asynchronous loading should now be working correctly
Do you find this useful? Click the Thanks button to send me some encouragement... Or if you're feeling really generous buy me a redbull to keep me going at the keyboard ( If not, no worries, it's hardly expected )​

Like I stated in the OP, it's really hard for me to help you unless you give me the forum topic URL that you tried to open with the extension. Get me that and I can take a look at what's going on.

Didn't use anything that would exclude Linux, I'll have to look into that.

Been awhile since I updated this, but did a complete rewrite of the extension, should now be working much better. Replaced attachment with new extension and added changelog in the OP.

Now in the official Chrome Web Store Click here to install

That's an awesome feature mate !
If you want I can made an active/inactive icon suggestions for your extension

Awesome !
Definetly Cool!
The first thing you should fix is to show the pictures in the correct ratio cause at the moment it looks like this:

Yea, that would be awesome... I'm sure it'll come eventually( *fingers crossed* )

It doesn't work if the page contains a gif. But gifs are shown in the gallery though.
Example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38762538#post38762538. And i think sometimes it also happens if a gif is present in a user's signature.
--edit--
It's working now. Seems to be haphazard.

Chrome store just told me Android not supported...
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app

Ok here is the icon. first attempt. zip contains psd + png (512, 38, 19).
Will try another way as I don't see clearly the pic on 19x19 res. But it's a first try, tell me more about color, about shapes what do you eventually like to see in the icon.
FYI no active/inactive as the inactive will be the greyscaled version of the active one

OK second try
I like this one (minimalist and easely recognizable even in 19x19) what do you think ?
Also attach a zip with psd + png (512, 38, 19) ON/OFF mode

[WAD2] WVGA concept theme (PRETTYYY!)

Hey guys!
First of, I am NOT the maker of this and don't deserve any credit for it.
Just thought I'd share this with all of you.
You will need Wisbar Advance Desktop 2 for this to work.

Hi there!
First of all I would like to thank destri for designing an awesome theme for WAD2 and giving me permission to release a modded wvga version of his. You really brought the "wow" effect to a whole new level ^^
You can find the original "Concept" by destri over here.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
INSTALL
- Unrar the concept wvga file to your desktop.
- You'll see 1 map and 1 wadesktop file.
- Inside the theme-folder you'll find the following folders: weather big and weather small.
- Copy these 2 folders onto your phone (It doesn't matter where, since you can assign these by going to your settings in WAD2)
- Install concept.wadesktop as you usally do with wad2 themes.

Heh no problem, thought you didn't mind. I also mirrored it as most people don't really like the rapidshare links, you could add the mirror to your original post aswell if you want. Yeah I read that in the original post, really waited a long time for the WVGA version of the concept theme as it just looks awesome. Flashing my device now to a very stripped ROM and gonna install it. , how are interface transitions and such at the moment?

Everything is pretty responsive. Although not as fast as the original for the omnia...but still fast enough for me.
However when going from the lock screen to the home screen, wad 2 might not respond for like 1 or 2 seconds (dnno why )
So please have a bit patience so you won't be tapping around your screen (and so opening apps or tabs you don't want to open )
Mirror added btw

Alright great. Well the looks alone will make it worthwhile . Currently at hard-resetting my device and then I'll get to installing the tens of cabs that I have x.x.
Whats the res for the Manga and FMRadio pictures btw? Want to put something else there.
You done a really great job mate, looks superb!
---EDIT--
Okay... I just got out of bed to say this... this is officialy the most AWESOME theme I ever used. I get completely smooth transitions so it might just be your HD or rom you have (have the stock rom?). It's just superb, now I'm off to bed again to map all the buttons to the correct programs but really... this is just insane, I'm speechless. It's beautifull!
A thousand times thanks dgen, if you ever need anything just send a PM, I feel like I'm in your debt.
Can someone please direct me how to install this theme for WAD2? For some reason it is not showing up in my themes when I go into WAD. It's been a while since I've used this application, but after seeing this theme I'm dying to give it a try!
Thanks for any help I may get!
Go to the .wadesktop file and run it, this will install the theme, then when you go back to the themes page scan for themes and it should show up.
Hope that works, don't have wad on my phone at th moment, but will be for this!
Looks great, thanks to all those involved.
Youtube vid added in first post!
I same this theme....only one word for it: awesome. But i have never used wad before. I already purshaded it and i installed the theme, but when i tap something i get: error loading shortcut or lacating the target filename. This happens when i play music, try to open manga, open callender and probebly even more.
An other question: how can i change some things? since i also dont use manga or fm radio. What i understood so far is that i should change the picture and create a shortcut to the right application????? Would be really nice if someone could explain to a newby
holy sh** thx for sharing I was waiting for this theme
look so cool!! ^-^
@ antrak

Did you copy the 2 folders onto your phone named, weather big and weather small? If you did, go into your settings in WAD2 and under the icons tab you can browse to where you put those files for both large icons and the small icons.
Hope this helps!

You are getting the error because you need to assign your own apps to the links. You can do this by holding your finger (or stylus) down until you get a drop down menu. On this menu chose "Author Mode".
Once you're in author mode, be careful because it is very easy to mess up the position of the pictures and text. You can move everything around when you're in author mode. I would advise taping and holding down again to bring the drop down menu up so you can chose the "Lock Items" option.
So now you can tap and hold on a link you would like to change and go into the properties of the link. Then go to the "Script" tab. You can change what program is launched here by choosing your own app.
Once you've played with WAD for a while you'll get the hang of it. It is extremely customizable so have some fun with it....as you can see with this beautiful theme!
The customization is overwhelming... it's driving me a bit nuts. But that's a good thing.
For some reason for me the weather forecast thing doesn't work at all, the dock doesn't show up. There's no script to bring it up. So I added the script myself to show page_forcast, but it just shows numbers and no images, even though I already specified the weather big/small in the options, I copied the weather big/small folders both to mem stick and phone mem and tried both locations in options, both don't work. Any help?
p.s. what's with all the extra folders included in the theme folder? are you supposed to do anything with them?
EDIT: Nvm I re-installed it all and it works great now... customability is crazy, you and pretty much make any GUI possible. Only dream now is to make phone faster overall, but for that HTC needs to use better touch screens and hardware.
Hi all,
what a great Theme!
I made another image for Photos, instead of the Manga image.
I just do not use anything of Manga...
I hope you like it....i do:
i guess you all know how to change it...otherwise let me know.
I also changed the Manga text in the following:
It looks like this then:
i edited my own text here...so if you apply the image above you get 'Show some Photos'. You can make it you want in CS3
Hope you enjoy.....
See it as an addon... not a replacment...all the credits for Dgen

yesyerday was only the second time in my life i tried MIUI..on android from 2\3 years but never ever used..personalizations are awesome but honestly i prefer stock-look and i returned on bamf\blackice.
Testing
I'm still testing this miui and soon i'll post some other screen shoots! There are not really major differences bw this aand miui us, the main big dif is the connectivity (wi-fi, 3g) this 1 seems faster and the browser don't fc when u have over 4-5 tabs

is 2.8.18 actually out or was that just set up for the next version. The OP still says .17
I also had questions regarding the icons for MIUI. I understand stock icons, but I how do I update say Instagram, Facebook, Youtube so that it's more cohesive and uniform. At the moment the icons are as is from Jelly Bean, wrapped up in another box in either green or purple.
I saw this from another post. Not all of my icons look like that, or atleast the ones I mentioned above.

I also had questions regarding the icons for MIUI. I understand stock icons, but I how do I update say Instagram, Facebook, Youtube so that it's more cohesive and uniform. At the moment the icons are as is from Jelly Bean, wrapped up in another box in either green or purple.
I saw this from another post. Not all of my icons look like that, or atleast the ones I mentioned above.
Thanks

Signature image restrictions

I know this board is HUGE and I'm just one voice, but I wanted to get this out there.
Signature images should be disallowed.
That, or sig image sizes need to be heavily restricted.
It has gotten really out of hand as of late and makes the forum a scroll-fest. It is unnecessary and downright frustrating when surfing via a phone or tablet.
Case and point... 2 posts. One with one word, one with a very short sentence. 2 posts take up the ENTIRE screen. Come on...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Neither image adds anything useful to either poster's content and neither image is really useful for anything else.
Even more annoying is some user's sig images eat up an entire page by themselves. When half a thread's space is eaten up with worthless sig images, it just makes the board look like a cluttered mess.
Venting over.
you are right about images being a bit large in some cases which annoys me too when i am on PC.. but you mentioned its hard to navigate in site due to this at mobile and tablet.. there are apps for mobiles and tablets for that reason.. so why use site through browser when you have app which doesnt show these signatures?
there are some images which are too large which makes it hard.. but the above 2 doesnt seems to be that big.. but nice suggestion.. may be you should say this here to get mods/admins attention better..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987254
You should report it to your fsm, with a link to the user profiles...
Do not engage yourself, as people may not always agree with you...
Just report to a mod, works everytime for me :thumbup:
This signature space is dedicated to the OT Thanks feature. RIP OT thanks, you shall be missed.

The first signature doesn't look too big IMO.
The post would be of same length without the signature.
Can't really say something about the second signature, as it does not end at the end of your screenshot.
So that could in deed be too big.
Extremely big signature should be reported to the forum specific maoderator (FSM), but if you feel that it is only "a little bit" too big, than you can PM the user in a friendly way.
I have done this several times like: "You have a very nice signature and a really good looking picture in there. Maybe you can even improve your signature by using a smaller picture or optimizing the arrangement of the parts in your signature so that your post can be read better. And this could also save some space in the threads as well."
All users that I PMed like this answered very pleased that they feel thankful for my tips and changed their signatures.
Maybe I was lucky ... but if you provide your help to optimize their sigantures, most people will at least tolerate it IMO.

Yes, you found the extreme example.
Saw this guy's signature already in another thread ... he seems to like his phone ... and his own face
But some other users may not like to see this large picture below each of his posts.
Here a [HIDE][SIGPIC][/SIGPIC][/HIDE] would be a solution ... for him to keep his big picture and for all other to not see it
@ExperienceD
Holy [email protected]#$% @ the last picture. Damn, that guy's signature is huge!

The problem with this 'solution' is that you are effectively encouraging people to hide signatures. However ... a lot of the longer-serving members have useful links in their sigs, the sort of things that a noob should see, notice and read to avoid asking stupid questions or breaking the rules of XDA. Hiding signatures means this information is lost.
Many complain they can't see my signature hidden in spoilers.. But I can see.. And when we use xda in 2013 beta 1024 mode.. We can see.. Why is that so?

Ha yep they sure don't.
@Chukudu seriously, remove that gif. Also reduce the font size pls.
What I don't like is that I've observed people that put (LONG TEXT) signature in THE POST, tough with spoiler.. And I've seen an user with high posts count.
BUT the problem is that you just takes precious database space with duplicate/redundant data.
Signatures should be put ONLY in signature section and not in the post.
PS: the in-post signature I've seen really contains pretty long text (about used phone, rom, kernel, etc) and in most cases the signature length is higher than the actual post information.
PS2: I'm not talking about tapatalk signatures "Posted using Tapatalk". Even If I do not agree with those too, because there are work-arounds. Eg: extract tapatalk information from post's user agent [I doubt that Tapatalk doesn't send custom UA in combination of actual mobile). This way you can save a lot of DB tables space.

That is absurd...he can't really be copy pasting all that crap into all his posts!

[Facer/Watchmaker] Double Watchface COMBO pack UBER post (302 Watchfaces)

Guys,
I have had a moto360 since the beginning and have had the opportunity to grab many of the watch faces that you cannot get or find anymore, i.e. Rolex, Tag, B&R, etc. so I decided to zip them up and share them with the world. Many taken from facerepo and other sources including XDA. I in no way take credit for any of these faces so if you would like me to remove your face from the pack please let me know. Hope this helps a lot of you guys looking for the good stuff!

Download link for the all on one zip is not working as when you guys get all of them in one zip file will be awesome feel free to add any of mine if you haven't already
These links will probably removed soon but sooooooo many thanks to give us the opportunity to get these watchfaces
As above, if you want them to last a bit longer then you're best off removing any screenshots of the branded faces and not referring to any of them otherwise they'll just get caught up in the whole take-downs. Thanks for sharing though it's always appreciated as I definitely missed some.

Sir..friend..try this..
Long press on link, go to link with Google Chrome, then on the far, upper right, three dots, press there, then in the drop down menu, choose, "Request desktop site"..place a check in the box, after doing so, at the top of the page, a black status bar will appear, an arrow pointing downwards, is the download hotspot, quickly press on this arrow, and next box, choose " Chrome"..and then another page will appear, with the file info..press on the blue button, "Download anyway".. choose Chrome again..and the download will begin..
No worry..if you miss the black bar, with the download arrow, just go back to the original link here, and start again..its kinda tricky first few tries, but after a couple/few tries, you'll get the "hang of it"..lol
It will be a slow download, be patient and the file will complete..I'm timing the download time for me here, I will post the time results when completed..
Update: about 12 minutes was my download time here in the mountains of North Carolina..

I personally use max pain's face viewer tool on my PC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-360/themes-apps/tool-viewer-view-organize-sort-filter-t2957192
This lets me point to the folder I download to and look at them before transferring to my phone. It sometimes has issues with some zip files like in this pack there's some odd ones causing it to hang but otherwise brilliant for .face or .watch files.
Awesome! Thanks!
Dumb question, maybe it's been asked on the forums before. But how does one import such a huge amount of watch faces into Facer in one go? I tried previously dropping them in the Facer folder, but it looks like Facer wants it to be imported via the app....one-by-one :S

Not been able to find an answer to this either, if you have found a way, please share
Based off of everything I could find there is no way to currently bulk import into facer as of yet. Guess you need to do it one by one unfortunately.
See post #15 here, in this thread..I just a few minutes ago began using the program, in Win7 Pro..If you have many faces and need to sort thru, and delete duplicates and incomplete faces, this program is a must have..I'm currently working on sorting all the faces posted here for download..maybe we can team up more, on this project..I will post my finished compiled zip, when complete, for download..then you can go thru them also, with this program I mention, I collect only analog faces, and the program is a must have now that I have used it even the first few minutes.. takes a bit of effort to set up..but once all your files are incorporated into the program..its a pleasure to use..

From what I've seen, it's been when the zip file has another folder inside, rather than the face contents. I'll probably fix that when I get around to updating it.
Also, the ability to find duplicates should have been there from the get go. I'll add that too probably.
Unfortunately can't add a function to batch capture and upload screenshots to Imgur as there is a rate limit per hour for free accounts like the one I'm using for the program. But we can add a batch capture and save to desktop feature and you could then upload to your favorite host.
But not now! Working on something else

Bug: "Oops! We broke the matrix. Someone call Neo!" error while posting content

Hi,
So today i made several posts and topics, and i noticed that when it's not a small amount of text, it cannot be posted without a workaround.
This error will appear: "Oops! We broke the matrix. Someone call Neo!" and it tells me to look in the console for more details. If i look there, it turns out to be an 403 Forbidden without any other useful details provided

}
The above meaning of this (403) makes me think it's a misconfiguration on XDA's end, therefore a site bug. It is very annoying, as it makes you unable to just post what you wrote, if it's not a small amount of text. So it will consume your time for the workaround or even prevent people from posting & throw their effort in the bin, if they don't know about the workaround
Workaround
First make a smaller post (so you cut down your text, and save the rest that is 'too long' according to the bug) and then once posted, edit it. Add the missed text while editing, and click Save.. that will work without errors.
Maybe i should do what the error message asks? Call Neo?

what do you mean? I used the workaround that i described, so i could still make the posts that first gave me this "Matrix" error
So if you need a reference, those are:
Topic 1
Topic 2
Yes, now they exist, because i used the workaround of first shortening it, and later editing back in the text i cut from it, to avoid the error while initially posting it. And certainly i had all text in my editor and then respectively the "Post thread" and "Post reply" buttons gave me the error, if that's what you meant.
The issue really looks like a 'character limit', but in a way of a bug. It's not like it says "Too many characters" or anything, lol. But still, 403 means the server refuses it.

In order to address your concern, I must first have you understand an undeniable truth, although I'm afraid it may be difficult to accept... This truth is that there is no post. It never existed. It never was and never will be. This is the reason for the error. An anomaly to a mathematical equation inherent to the program which can never be solved. The challenge you face going forward, is that you can either embrace this truth, or run from it.
The choice is up to you.

You don't believe me, i also said it replying to the PM: im sure about my case, my eyes dont lie haha. I mean, the text editor was filled with content that i intended to post, and it just refused to post it (with that error) unless i made it shorter, and then i could edit it in later.
So, to hopefully make you believe me, i just recorded a video for proving the bug:
https://streamable.com/owu2u3
I think your error logs are giving you the wrong impression, like the bug causes them to be limited as well? So it like indicates there was no content, as the bug make the content non-transmittable in the first place?
Did anyone else face this issue, when making posts & topics that aren't small? Like the size of my example topics that required the workaround to post
Edit: Neo informed me that he was making a joke about a glitch in the matrix, and i didnt watch the movies so i was clueless, heh. But now i finally laughed.

So if I say take the Red pill it won't make much sense either.... LoL
I'll do some experimenting with the problem you've had. I'm not sure if it's a character limit or maybe the range of mixed content you have (links, code etc).
I've not had reports of this from other people though.
Did you say you type it up in another app then copy paste to XDA?

It wasn't me who mentioned typing it up in another app.. that was jenneh. I don't know if maybe he faces the same issue (or various), so that he resorted to that
I wrote the content entirely in XDA's text editor.. when it comes to mixed content, all i did was:
- Have cursive and non-cursive text combined
- Have links (added through the XDA editor link button)
- Have varying text sizes, with size selected through the XDA editor
But when it comes to the last point, yes i did copypaste content from other locations in my text/other posts on XDA forums.. not to use it at all, but to work around a font size bug that also exists: see Issue: cannot select original font size, after changing it once in the editor purely for it to inherit the size of the copied text (which was original size). So it was to use the workaround, and then remove the copied text again. I doubt this step was involved though
Also, if it's content, it's weird that you can edit it in afterwards, but not post it right away. I'd figure that guide writers & release topic starters are the first ones to run into this (if the issue is triggered by an invisible, non intended character limit through a bug). Maybe no one reported it because large posts aren't so common, and then if they want to, they will simply spend half a minute to perform the "Editing it in" workaround rather than reporting it. It's a simple workaround because editing in lets you preserve the layout & style if you're copying it directly from another tab, the tab in which you failed to submit the post. So i figure people duplicate the tab once they run into the issue, post it in the new tab with only like 30% of content size, and then edit it in from the original tab. Thanks for investigating the issue!

Ok, well there could be several possibilities.
I have increased the Character limit from 60000 to 80000
There are several other things that can prevent posting.

max 20 messages per page
40 images per page
and it was 5 media embeds per page now 10.
There is also a screening for certain words and phrases and repetitions of some words/phrases.
The reason splitting posts sometimes works is because the system screens the part you are just about to post not the combination of the existing part plus the new part. So for things like repeated text, links etc., it can sometimes circumvent the standard limits.
On the character limit above (which I've increased), it does count unseen background code as characters. Sometimes if text is copied from other Apps it copies huge amounts of invisible and unused code which can gobble up the character limit.

In order to address your concern, I must first have you understand an undeniable truth, although I'm afraid it may be difficult to accept... This truth is that there is no post. It never existed. It never was and never will be. This is the reason for the error. An anomaly to a mathematical equation inherent to the program which can never be solved. The challenge you face going forward, is that you can either embrace this truth, or run from it.
The choice is up to you.

Same here.
The site glitch's or freezes occasionally. Lol, I attribute it to the relentless site maintenance being preformed.
The old problem of losing an entire post while composing it is gone, yay!
But the blue...
I have this error too. How can I solve this?

Site maintenance happens very often, of late. I don't know why but it is being looked into.
Quite probably, the issue is not on your side. When you have the issue, just wait for a couple of minutes and refresh the page. You should be good to go.

Thanks for the information. I was going crazy with this It happens often but usually it gets fixed in few minutes as you said, sometimes the site is accessible from different browser.

Pretty obvious. No big deal unless you are punching the post button, then bad things sometimes happen
That's annoying, but the site is better then before about losing data while writing a post; auto backup seems to work but it's a bit twitchy.
Lol, so the mod gods can't work seamlessly in the background? I'm appalled
I'm looking into it, thanks all.

Thank you for the effort. Whatever magic you did, it has resolved the issues including the site maintenance issues. Yesterday and today it has been trouble-free.
