Pointui developed a new screen as microsoft want to do in wm 6.1
i like it
http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx
And the fact remains that as i read this, there were two posts next to each other talking about exactly the same piece of software.
I think this app appears in every thread somewhere, smells like viral marketing to me
New threads aren't really necessary, just reply to another
be bothered..but not to express!!!

no offence dude!
i like this piece of work but was not expecting such comments as sometime it found uninspired...aniwe, keep it up good work

Maybe I came across a little annoyed there, bad day, but still, there is already a discussion going on, and many people are having problems with it already, it's still better to continue an existing discussion than to start a new one every time someone wants to add something.
I wonder how many times this app has popped up in the different forums, and as a result, all information regarding it becomes diluted.
Twice this evening I hit "READ MORE>" links on the portal and the tabs that were opened had been redirected to a malware scam:
http://preview.tinyurl.com/2338wlu
All ok here, never happened that
I have been redirected as well, just innocently clicking on articles on the main page. I sent an email to the webmaster just now with a complaint.
Got redirected to safyeom.in just like you with a scare malware scam. I really hope the webmaster/owners have nothing to do with this as it is quite disappointing.
Same problem here.
Now happened to me as well
In the portal whenever I want to click on any article it redirects me to a supposed malaware but nothing happens, after you click again and all ok
I´m sure Admins are aware of this and will be solved ASAP
Just happened to me also. Only, it keeps happening. Clicked on the article title link Boot Animations + Tutorial for Android a few times and happened each time.
Yeah, the blog is definitely infected. Redirects to malware when you click on any of the tags for the stories too.
Contacting the server Sys. Admin for XDA along with the site admins
EDIT: Talked to the portal admin and got a story on the front page to warn users, working on resolving this issue.

This is a XSS (Cross Site Scripting) attack where an advertiser publishes on a site legitimately for a while then switches to a malicious site. not at the fault of the site owners... This has happened to other large sites like the new york times and such
yeah, happened to me a few times. funny too. i run ubuntu, and it was 'scanning my system' finding several windows viruses.
the websites picked up were with .in suffixes (india)
glad to hear that it's the site, though, and not something local
Yeah, I noticed this too. Glad its not my PC...but I'm not exactly happy XDA's taking a hit for the team.
Forums back up (obviously) the portal will stay down for a little time...

That I am happy to hear. I figured they wouldn't resort to such low tactics. Glad to know it is being taken care of (although I'm sorry there was a problem to begin with).

What are the potential risk here? i got to the page and it tried to download something on my machine. I closed the windows asap and I am running a scan right now.

If you declined any download, then you should be OK. I'd suggest scanning with something in addition to your regular scanner, like Malware Bytes Antimalware (I only suggest it as it's free, and doesn't use a real-time monitor like other AV packages, so won't conflict with what you have installed already).
The XDA Portal is temporarily offline. Visit the Forums!
Glad to know that I was not the only one.
Got worried that my machine was infected, went so far as to actually run a trace to verify that the malware was being launched from the website, haha
The IBM advertisement made the website hang and stop loading contact under the advertisement. Hope to fix it
What ad?
I don´t see any
I haven't seen that one...
Although on the matter of Ads. I occasionaly get one in the portal which hovers over the Forum button etc. so I can't click it, also there is no [x] button
If you can get a screenie of it, let us know and I'll see if anything can be done about it.

Here you go
I'm a newbie here. I don't mind the ads in principal, but the ads that drop down when I accidently pass over them I find an intrusion and very annoying. What makes them bad news in my opionion is that they often sit there and are hard to get rid of. Frustrating or what?
Surely this site is not that desperate. Some of them seem to be designed especially to irritate users. And no X button. Surely we could at least insist on an escape route.
Cheers ...

It's not the point. What is more, some people are here just to look around and may not get any benefit at all.
I've been a site administrator also - ads generate income and can allow more benefit to users.
But I've never had this trouble before on any other such site. I'm fine with the ads per se, but some of these are very very annoying in products that I'm not at all interested in and being jammed down my neck - with no escape, that's the irritating bit!
Cheers ...
I had some ideas this morning on what we could do to make the OS and usabilyity of the phone greater without hacking (I rolled out of bed and fell on the floor and then it came to me lol. Ironic right?).
*This will of course involve the browser which isnt the fastest but not the worst.
What if we made web applications for the KIN and a web apps store which basicially is like an android market turned into a mobile version and KINafied a bit and instead of downloads has links to webapps people have found and/or made. I would be willing to ut time into it if someone else will help and if you guys want this.
*Please leave a comment on your standpoint.
I stated this before. It was a work in progress called WebOS. I stated the idea, then people started to get involved and made it happen. Doesn't look like it will be done.
Yeah I know and it was a good idea so I stated it again because for some reason your posts always get passed off as bad, but I think some of them had good ideas.
That's not entirely true. I get impatient with people when they say "Just release the damn hack already" Or "Show some proof" I got annoyed so I gave up and gave those trolls what they deserved: Stuff to piss them off
True true but are you working on an online web app store optimized for the KIN or not? If you are can I be of any assistance?
I brought up the idea of web apps a long time ago but was simply blown off. I now have a Droid charge but still like to keep an eye on this forum. This is a good idea, but I do not have the apps I was using on my phone before I upgraded. However I did post them soif you look up my previous posts you could maybe as then to your list.

Thanks I didnt even know they were up here. Can you tell me which page or what im looking for?

Sorry to bust your bubble, but your idea wasn't blown off. I stated the idea before you and they tried. I don't know here you were when we started but one of the main person that was in on this (Alex Williams) Left the train ride if you know what I mean. We made some good progress too.
im not so sure about doing apps for the device as long as we cannot really rely on the case or browser hehaviour.
on the other hand,im making some tests that could let you plug your kin on one pc and access the content wherever you want,through web browser
kinda....kino web version. kin on the cloud...whatever
must ask some guys to see if its doable in windows. but for linux,and probably mac it works. i just tested the kinect samples.
also is all done on javascript so if releases is instantly opensource.
tldr; makin something like studio....but on your pc so you will have to have it powered on, and that stuff
Johnwhat would we do without you. That sounds great. My next suggestion was something like that. If we can add our own apps without changing the software Im fine with that too. But changing the software to something like ICS would be a bonus! Can you give a bit more detail on what your program does?
mmm its too late here so i will just say that this will be just like kino but the interface will be by browser and from any device.
except the kin itself haha,will be the host.
this lets you edit the interface and the code in stuff like notepad.
also using css templates, designers csn change the gui,extend it..whatever

I was talking about a single game cached on the phone. Here is where I brought it up back in July 2011. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15759037#post15759037
I don't see were you mentioned this at all and I just reread all your posts. You didn't burst my bubble because like all your posts you are trying to act smarter than everyone.
WEM If you look at my posts I think I listed the games I gound that cached.
Thanks but what im trying to get us to do is make a website based app store with web applications designed for the KIN. basically just until we can crack this thing.
Sounds good I'll keep an eye to see how the progress is coming I thought you could use some games that cached to use source code to put in your site. I will say I got a lot from an open source site and added the caching code and was housing on a local server die nee. Worked perfectly and lated on phone for songs 12hours with no internet

Thanks for your smart comment bud. But, I didn;t post it on here. I posted it on the facebook group. Either way it's the past and it doesn't matter
Okay, well I'm not a member of the Facebook page so maybe you did. Either way it seems like the best workable solution for the kin. It worked great for me while I had my Kin, made the phone pretty useable when not around wifi. However, yall keep up the good work. I still have mine as a back up for my charge so I hope you make some progress. Also if anyone needs some testing I am willing to risks bricking my phone since it just sits in my attic

I think the idea for a "Web store" or something like that, is out of the question. It's a good idea but the browser is slow, Plus we've tried this before..maybe I can ask people to try and do this again
to be honest... develop that would just take one evening.
the other stuff is just making it pretty.
the most imporant stuff is to store it somewhere.
and i may be... "overacting" but i wouldnt bet on someones personal site for storage of my "downloaded" or selected stuff.
Apart from that... well is a pity as kin doesnt accept ad-hoc networks so refreshing could be done from a laptop without internet.

not gonna happen. If electronics guys help us, we could just plug the samsung chip and use the wiring on the right pins, so read it in serial (UART) mode and dump the content into bin files (including possible rom content) like has been done for other Movinand devices in this forum (XDA). Of course no one has interest, and i got no means to do so, even if i had found the samsung documents describing the wiring.
And the alternative, which is decoding what XNA game dev studio says is not easy for me, so imma not gonna do it, and there is no other way to create a installable/runnable app (so no "do half and...." stuff that is on the other thread)
Like many of us, I'm not a big fan of these recent dramatic changes. At least make an option for us to still use the older one like Reddit does.

Tbh I don't think this is possible, because xda has undergone such an overhaul, even the thank meter system and the title system has been changed. Having the older version would mean to recreate it so it embraces all the new stuff here, it could happen but that's very unlikely since it's hard work, and the vast majority of the members actually like this revamped version. Give it a day or two and I think you'll get used to it
This is not going to be possible, but we do have a classic theme if you want an older look.
Yeh, need to move forward into the unknown!
The Classic theme helps....
Aw goly, not liking this new site.
Particularly don't like that the most recent threads under their respective sections can't be seen.
If this could be brought back it would be appreciated.
There is no more "old way" anymore, they migrated and moved all the content from the old site to the new site so as far as I am aware, the "old" site is gone. I personally don't like it yet, but with anything new, comes change, and time to get used to it. I am sure in time we will all have a better experience once they finish the migrations and we all get used to it.
I also noticed I cant edit the posts yet (or I cant find a way to do it) in the new system, so I hope its a bug that gets fixed because I make numerous grammar issues the first round (trying to get the info out of my brain tends to be funky the first round), then I clean it up but only when I can edit my post. This could simply be a user error, or possibly an ID10T error.
The amount of work it would take to maintain two completely separate codebases wouldn't be worth the hassle at all.
As for "like Reddit does":
They are owned by a massive company, they can afford to maintain the old site for at least a bit while they build the newer site out. XDA doesn't have the manpower or server power to do that.
It's only temporary, Reddit isn't gonna keep the old site around forever. Just like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook when they did massive redesigns a couple years ago, the old site eventually shut down once they migrated 90-100% of the functionality over.

Yeah I get that small team etc. But no one does an overnight overhaul with half of the features missing/not working. Even mobile app stopped working including the official app. That is very unprofessional. Most sane people would have them both side by side, for sometime, while fixing bugs on the new site and new app. This way users can still have a nice user experience, while getting familiar with newer website transition.
But, well what can I say, XDA is not my company. They can do whatever the heck they want.

On individual forum it's not displaying the lastest post info on the main page forcing you to open each section. The global new posts section works fine.
Doesn't display the user stats on the poster's post as before; more blank, unused dead space.
The "thanks" is all goofed up.
Rather have a smart complicated gf than a pretty dumb one... as their beauty rapidly fades as you get to know them.
Im fine with the overhaul but come on, where are the files attachments on other posts? where are the links? if you will left those, then better shut down this BS forum.

You should know that you are only seeing the tip of the iceberg. This change didn't happen overnight. There was a significant userbase testing the new XenoForo interface for months prior to release so they did exist side by side. Thing is, a testing environment is never the same as the real deal so at the official launch so of course some quirks came up. If anything, you can say they have been working in a very professional manner to work those out. In the first 24 hours after releasing most major issues were already resolved. The biggest one right now is probably still some posts/threads missing. Change is never easy

The changes were announced a long time ago and the announcement was highlighted on top of every section of every subforum. Which are you missing anyway? I see my attachments (like this one) are still present. Mind that the migration is still not 100% complete yet.
