Is there a such feature? I can't seem to find it.
If that is not possible, maybe some ff greasemonkey script or something similiar?
Afaik, no such script available.. and no such feature is there too.. but you can always try and.... resist... the urge to open it and look ahead and read next thread title

Hi all, i don't know if it has been asked already but it would be great to have a light black&white forum "Development and Hacking" easy to load and browse from our PPCs/SPs exactly like the iPhone's app called Installer... ok, without all the "sources/install/uninstall" thing, only app name (with very short description like the one we can see if we mouseover a topic's name) and, clicking on it, the author description, link to the Dev&Hack forum article, link to the download, little screenshot or animated gif. And a tiny search engine (no Google)
I know there are websites made like that already like freewareppc or softonic which use RSS, but i was thinking about a more Installer-like webApp.

.. but there's probably something like that already, so i ask you guys and gals where can i find such a service and if you think it would be nice or totally useless
TBH this would take ages to compile and program and with every different model of HTC h/set out there I dont think anyone would have the resources or time to do this. I do really like the idea though kudos for that
Why not look at the App To Date over at MoDaCo?
livefastdiefun87, i don't think it should be that difficult to filter the threads (for example a "[release]" string in the thread title) as links to their first posts (the ones with descriptions, screenshots and downloads) to the user (maybe it's enough for the releaser to keep an eye on the format). For example A_C's releases already have the "required" things (first post: description and download, second post: faqs).
With a little help from any developer i think that even with pocket ie (although a client would be better) we can retrieve every release easier. Then, in order to explore the apps, the user can jump to the ordinary forum.
Maybe i'm making it too simple, but it wont be bad anyway. I'm thinking about a mobile-only road, no ads, no banners, black and white with hypertext
As far as I know, the only software difference between Dream and Sapphire is kernel and driver stuff, neither of which effect themes at all.
So why not get rid of the Sappire themes forums completely and just provide a link (for convenience) to the Dream ones? The Hero themes might be identical as well?
I'm sure there are a few other discussions that can be shared between the various platforms too.
I only suggest this because this website is fairly slow (at least here) and having to search both the Dream and Sapphire themes topics can be quite frustrating.
All of my Oreo themes work for CM so if you are running that version of CyanogenMod you can use my themes for the G1. The same applies to any theme, they are just built for a specific rom, not hardware.
Thankyou for clarifying that. It's exactly what I'm getting at. Dream? Sapphire? Hero? It doesn't matter regarding themes because they are all interchangeable between these models. The themes forums for all 3 platforms (and any others that are compatible) should be merged so that it's easier to locate them.
Actually some Rom's are not yet for all Sapphire builds yet. Like the Hero's. There getting there just not yet
Because if someone comes here wanting to theme their Sapphire, and theres no dedicated section for it, the average person would probably be confused, then continue their search elsewhere.
I'm sure in this day and age we have the technical capacity to still make it seem like there is a "Sapphire themes and wallpapers" section, can simply link to to the "Dream themes and wallpapers" section transparently. I agree that it would be confusing for users to not find such a section at all.
My problem is that we have parallel discussions happening, which is a waste of time. It's also a waste of time having to search 2 sections in order to prevent parallel discussions happening. Why not simply merge them since we know for a fact that all the content within such a merged forum would apply equally to both for the benefit of all?
I agree. This is confusing. There are a LOT more themes available on here than what you see in this area because themes for Magic and G1 are also compatible.
Why don't we use tags for this?
From the FAQ:
Tags
What are tags?
Tags are a useful way to search for threads with similar subject matter and content. This complements the normal search system, which searches only for certain words or phrases and/or posts by specific users.
To use tags, you add words or phrases to threads to help describe the content. For instance, if the subject matter is 'photography' then you can add the tag 'photography' to the tag list. But you could also add tags like 'digital image', and 'camera' (depending, of course, on the nature of the thread).
This will categorize this thread with all other threads that have matching tags, whether or not they have the word 'photography' in them.
Who adds the tags?
Tags are initially added to threads by the user who started the thread. Other users may also be able to add and remove tags.
How do I use tags?
Tags are displayed in a box near the bottom of a thread page. Clicking on a tag will allow you to view other threads that have the same tag - and which may be related. Clicking on the word 'Tags' in the top of the box will take you to an overview page with a 'tag cloud.'
This cloud allows you to see which tags are the most popular - the larger the word, the more times it has been used on threads within the board. There is also another tag cloud on the advanced search page that shows you the tags that have been searched for (or clicked on) the most.

We could post a sticky listing the tags in use to be consistent. When you post a theme, you tag it. Relevant data would be:
Type (#theme
Theme name (#remix)
OS (#android)
Compatible ROM+build (#cyanogen4.0.4)
Compatible devices (#hero #sapphire #dream)
Then search tags instead of threads.
Vallyn: that's not a bad idea really. I've noticed there's already a convention in place for the title of a thread, which is almost as good as some minor tagging. I'm actually just now transitioning my data over to tags and it's actually a really cool way of doing things.
Convincing everyone to start using the tags can be tricky though. That may or may not be easier than possibly having to modify the layout or even backend of these forums to get a simple link in. /shrug
I had a little time on my hand so I took this and cleaned it up (removed docs, repetitions, collected kernel commits, ...).
Note that this is the internal commit history of google developers. You shouldn't read too much into it because:
1.Most changes are under the hood stuff that is only interesting to developers.
2.It probabely doesn't reflect all the changes google made
3.Some changes may have not made it into the final release
4.Some changes are specific to other devices
5.Some don't make sense without looking at the code
Nevertheless, there are some interesting descriptions that reflect some of the stuff people have reported : faster rotation, dial redesign, android os battery bug, lock later after power button, keyboard lag, etc.
I have added "****" before ones I found interesting for us users.

Thanks for this! Very interesting.
Good work for collecting and identifying the changes understood by Users......
Thanks for this! You might also want to consider starring "More aggressive fix for phone lookup issues" (the comments after this are very telling) as I have run into this issue.
Nice work.
It's annoying Google don't provide an official changelog. Especially considering they push such things so hard for apps when they get updated, what with the new What's New bit.
torospr must be the Sprint version.

yeah, it is. JBQ said it somewhere in the android building group.

thanks. added.
If anyone else spots something please let me know.
There are several similar threads in other device forums so I thought why not start one here. If the mods think this is in the wrong section or a bad idea please delete.
Okay so as of the time of this posting there is no "Galaxy S3 XBMC" specific version so I'm using one of the generic builds. "xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-20120714.apk" is the name of the one I found. Link
Works:
Pretty much everything "works". I haven't found any features that just refuse to execute.
Bugs:
mkv video playback is extremely choppy. Sound is perfect.
tiny menu items sometimes have to be long pressed slightly before they register. (In other words, fat fingers beware).
*edit* - It looks like they were aware of this when they released and are encouraging skinners to rewrite skins for specific devices. There is already an included theme called "touched" that addresses many of these issues.
That's it for now. I'll keep monitoring this thread and post updates to the OP if possible.
Where is the link? I've been waiting years to get xbmc on android.
This is an app and should be in the themes and apps subforum.
I apologize. Mods, please place this in the correct section.

I decided to make this thread to not only act as a little competition for forum users, but also to help out some users who are looking for working configurations that'll help their phone run the way they want. Essentially, the way this works is that you must post in a specific format as follows:
Model (I assume it'd be the T-Mobile one but you never know!):
Recovery:
ROM:
Kernel:
Mods:
Benchmark Scores:
Longest Battery Record:
Camera Application (if going for Best Camera Performance):
Misc:
As many of us know, pics or it didn't happen, so if you make a claim better bring on the evidence! The Misc category is where you can add any apps or launchers or basically anything you feel is a key part to your phone's configuration or helpful in understanding how you achieved your numbers. Please include all version numbers for all necessary categories such as recovery, kernel, etc. I will try to monitor the thread as much as possible and update the post after this with winners! The categories to have titles won in will be: Best Benchmarks, Longest Battery, Best Camera Performance, Most Creative Theme, Most Simple Theme, and WTF (for those people out there for those phone's that simply just do not make sense). So have fun guys! :highfive:
[NOTE] Category winners will be chosen by me until I can figure out a simple voting procedure, if you have a suggestion on how to do that then please PM me as not to flood the thread with unnecessary comments. :good:
