Is there any way to have show/hide tags such as
Spoiler
text
, to have a block of text hidden until you click on it?

I'd like something like this for my guide so it doesn't show all sections at once. That way the person can choose to show only the section they're working on.
Does this exist on these forums?
If not, can the site admin consider adding it?
Also, is there a way to "hack" this in via the [ HTML ] tags?
Not at the moment. Something like this maybe in vB4 when we upgrade.
Spoiler tags seems a bit hacky, the admin's might consider if there is something a bit more user friendly or fit for purpose.
Collapsing information seems the wrong way to do it. I think a navigation (contents page) that allows quick thread navigation without opening in a new window / tab would be better.

Doh, that's too bad.
I'm not sure what you mean by a contents page? Splitting up one post into several, may make things a bit more hectic?

Like the contents page on Media Wiki pages : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development
In my experience, so long as the posts are sequential and the OP has the ingenuity to disable their sig until the last post, it's not too bad.
Dave
Ah I see.
What if you only have the first post in a thread?
It's too late for me

Post less? (j/k)
I was thinking about linking inside a thread. HTML allows Anchor / Name tags to do this. A way of building a contents page could be handy.
So the contents could have:
Post 1
- Part 1
- Part 2
Post 2
-Part 3
etc. etc.
It might just be a dream though : http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?p=2031310

I also think that this would be a good idea. For example, a rom developer could hide the changelog, todo list, Q&A, etc leaving the first post much less cluttered and simpler to navigate, but still displaying the same ammount of information. I know how to use anchors and links with HTML, but I don't really know if most people know all the code, and it would be more complicated. For example, just a single link to an anchor named banana would be Link to banana. It would be much simpler to just use a
Spoiler
tag.

Yes, another excellent idea!
A collapsible tag could be useful in so many situations!
Here's another possible use: signatures. Almost everyone has a list of the phones they have, current rom, radio, spl, recovery, mods, themes, etc. We could literally change 5-10 lines of text to a single "show" button on every single post on every forum. I have no idea how much work it would take to implement this, but it would really be a kickass idea.
Hi everyone,
i know this is a pretty old topic, but i wanted to know if it is meanwhile possible to build a "spoiler"?
i wanted to post a logcat-log but its like 100+ strings long so it would be pretty nice to make this information collapsable to keep threads clear.
thanks in advance

You could use a
Code:
box.
Sorry for also resurrecting an old thread but I too would love a collapsible tag.
As with the OP, I think it would be a real boon to writing guides.
I have a multi-part guide I'm working on/maintaining for the Arc but for each part of it, I'd love to be able to have it split into independently-expandable sections, it would make it so much easier to divide it up clearly and to hide necessary but lesser-used information.
spoiler tag in the forum
any progress on a collapsible tag?
Spoiler
at the end of 2011 ...
if it would work, you would not see this msg, unless you click on it

It is already, especially in some dev threads where people post full logcats
Also, in one thread, I had posted a complete diff between two kernel versions, so implementation if this in the app would also be awesome(although you'll have to talk to tapatalk guys, hope they understand)

How do I edit my avatar/signature, there are no options anywhere in my profile to do this anymore, I can edit my country/provider etc. but even my old sig I can only view not edit
I would also like to know
I love this community. From teh early days of flashing my Touch Pro 2 I have been here lurking would love to get involved more. How do we change our signatures? How do we add our phones to our signatures with os versions etc for easy reference?
Many thanks,
it's in user control panel (USER CP navigation link)
by default it is also under quick links in the navigation bar (assuming you're using a computer)
it's so obvious that it is hard to see
Well maybe it's obvious to you but it wasn't to me and I have been on many phpbb and invision boards (and even some other boards using other forum software) and I never had to search so much, it's especially confusing since when you click on your user name you can edit most of your profile, just not avatar or sig

Not being able to find that setting which I agree is obscure is fine, but not being able to read the stick at the top of this very forum isn't:

On XDA, sometimes you come across a thread with dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of replies. Most normal humans don't have the time to read through such a large number of replies in order to find the most useful posts. Today, we're making it much easier for you to find the best replies that get buried within a thread. Introducing the Most-Thanked Widget. It lives in the sidebar (of the 2013 theme) and displays which posts have received the most amount of Thanks. It's divided into All-Time and Recent to help you find the most timely and useful posts. You can help make the Most-Thanked widget even better by being sure to use the Thanks button whenever you spot a useful post across the XDA Forums.
A few other details:
Right now, the Most-Thanked widget is only available for logged-in members as we tweak its performance. However, we'll soon be rolling it out to guests
The widget ignore post 1, because most people know that post 1 often contains the most useful information; we didn't want to be redundant
All members are limited to eight Thanks per day. Use your Thanks wisely!
The Most-Thanked widget is a work in progress! We'll be tweaking its logic over the coming weeks and months to make it as useful as possible. Thanks for your patience. Feel free to provide some feedback here
What a sexy idea.

^^ Glad to see I'm not the only one who's still on the 2010 theme then It's so much nicer and more user friendly IMO.
Great idea, brilliant for overcrowded threads. Could you add an "option" or tab to leave out the posts by the OP? Having the posts has both advantages and disadvantages, as the users tend to thank the OP a lot. On the other hand, the OP only posts updates, so not having their post in the tab would be bad. That's why you should add a choice, best for both Maybe just limit the no. of posts by OP to 1 or 2
Great idea. Thanks for this svetius.
I'm finding it a little bit laggy at the moment but I'd figure that's just because it's only just been implemented. It's not a major lag though

Yeah this is an awesome idea, but any way to integrate it into the XDA 2010 them for those of us who don't like the 2013 one?

I think they'll probably see how it goes for now and then think about implementing it to a previous version.

It's a cool idea and even nicer to see I'm in both all time top 5's of the ICS and JB version of the ROM I support
Only niggle for me is that it takes the place of the existing widget (messages/threads/forums) so you have to go back out of the thread to then see your subscribed threads again. I use this to navigate the threads I want to read as have links to all the forums I moderate so not too bothered about those. Would be cool to have a subscription (or whatever you want to call it) and thanks tab or something along those lines so you can then still have quick access to both when in a thread.
As for those still preferring the 2010 theme, once you're used to it the 2013 theme is so much nicer to use and I've never viewed the portal as much as I do now thanks to the 5 most recent posts always being shown on the sidebar. I love it!

i wish both widgets exist in that side bar.. as its not already full and we can have both with leftover space in right side panel..
sir.. great idea.. thanks for this.. as its new i know it might have bugs..
so it seems there is a bug.. if the posts shown dont have titles.. then the title if its there for above post in thanks widget is shown for the below one too.. which is kinda annoying.. as they might be totally unrelated posts.. also some posts shown in widget doesnt have appropriate link to the actual post when clicked..
also 1 suggestion: please provide the message,threads,forums widget inside threads too along with this widget.. it helps a lot..
thanks for the widget again..
Edit: oops.. sorry for second post.. i could have edit the above one. i forgot that i wrote.

It's a preference thing. I've used the 2013 and it's too busy for me, I like the cleaner brown with a portal button at the top left if I want to view portal stories (which I do daily) I can go there.
I don't ever see me moving to the 2013 theme and I really hope they integrate this most thanked post feature into the 2010 theme because it's a really useful feature.

Greetings all, I have been busting my brains trying to get the resolution proper on my S4 with the Awesome Note HD app. worked great on my S3 and would like to continue to use it. I've tried using the Xposed DPI per App module and it's not re-sizing the app appropriately. I know I have it installed and working as I can alter other apps. Any help trying to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
This baffles me as well. I've tried every option possible in Xposed, googled several threads and even enabled ALL permissions, but nothing works. Xposed will alter pretty much any app except Awesome Note.
Same here

My guess would be find the XML file in the apk responsible for drawing this and the set the dimensions of it to wrap_content or fill_parent. Seems like it's hard coded.

No luck so far, but this is the first time I've ever tried modding an app. I've been able to locate and edit the layout, layout portrait and layout landscape xml files, but no change. Obviously I'm missing something (likely very simple). I'll keep researching/learning and post back with any updates.

Question to you: the fill_parent/wrap_content code is all over the layout xml files. Do I have to change every entry or should I be looking at a specific line?

Youre gonna have to figure out which one draws what you are looking at and what is not being drawn correctly. I hate xml, when i make programs, 90 percent of my layouts are made programmatically. thats how much i hate xml.

Damn, ever bit of this app is coded. Every tab, every title, every icon, every title. As far as I can see, the only way to get a real workable and attractive setup is to rewrite the graphics. I can get a few things to stretch - background now fills and bottom icons on main page are larger - but the right side dead space is still there and tab text remains the same, though the tab backgrounds have shifted and grew just a hair. Moving all of the files from the drawable-nodpi folder to the drawable folder allows Xposed to have some control, but not enough.
I think the biggest problem is our phones resolution. 1080 is just not supported properly. Though I did dig around and find a "true" listing for support of small, large and extra large screens. Personally, I'm beginning to hate this app, but I'll keep plugging away for the learning experience.
Mind you I am a COMPLETE NOVICE at this. If you'd like to see what I've been able to figure out thus far, and maybe add some input, I'll gladly send you the apk. Just PM me. I'm using @elesbb APK Tool which has a 2 second learning curve.

This sounds like the Camera APK i use a DPI of 320, and the camera is all fritz out and small. I decompiled it just to take a peek as i don't have the time right now to fix it, but it looks all hard coded and yes everything has to be coded even the tab, button, everything ANDROID IS FUN
Any news about this?

I am new to android app development but am spending more and more time on these threads. I have a Verizon sgs4 with eclipse ROM. I would love to see the progress you've made with this app but I'm new and not sure how to message you. If you have time feel free to send me that apk and I'll see if I can try and help.
Did anyone get anywhere with this? This seems to be the only app that looks like it will do everything I want, but just isn't scaled correctly. Unless anyone knows of a good alternative?
Hello everyone
Let me know if I can get a list of names of the icons displayed on the menu.
I want to create a theme icons but it is hard to see any apps that name carries.
For example facebook: icon_launcher_facebook.png but there are applications that do not respond to this syntax.
Any idea?
Maybe this helps a bit, there is a icon set theming tutorial in one of first posts of the following thread

My idea is to create a theme for the stock sense and not for the venom (using a framework for the icons).

I think it's completely different.
I'm looking on google for days but could not find anything about it.
I avoid using rom with non-standard options (see venom, virtuous, etc.) simply because these options change from smartphone to smartphone.
So it is more logical to rely on the standard android instead of trying mods that are born and die in the same way.
Then im afraid i can't give you the answer how to do it atm......ah well at least i tried
