Ok, as does everyone else here I absolutely love this site, to quote another forum member, you guys made my $800 brick work. The only problem is that now I am spoiled on all other forum sites. I really realized this as i started researching my new toy, a fujitsu tablet PC. As a tablet newbie I was, and still am, looking for a site like this one...but for tablets. It's not the first time I've been looking for a site "like XDA but for [insert topic]".
I thought it might be beneficial if I could find out what other, non-WM phone related forum sites the geniuses among you are also active on. Hopefully I could find a similar community for tablet pc's or whatever. Sooo, lets sound off on what other forums/sites you might be active on and/or have found really usefull for other things techno-geeks are into.
My XDA-Dev for China news and biz info site is www.chinalawblog.com
My XDA-Dev for online mandarin language material is www.csulb.edu/~txie/online.htm
My XDA-Dev for oogling other people's photoshop skills is www.somethingawful.com
There, I showed you mine, now it's your turn
My XDA Dev for Everything related to Xbox Hacking --> xbox-scene.com (nothing illegal on this site either )
hmmm... where do I start....
Tek-tips = http://www.tek-tips.com - for almost anything pc related, free registration and rather helpful...
sorry, drawing a blank now.. will have to edit post later when I am not hung over...
yes of course.

a very good and large community in the german-speaking area.
Hey guys -
I was wondering is there a bible app that does not use the internet. It is a WIFI only Xoom and my church does not have an open WIFI.
All the ones I have tried from the market are not formatted for the tablet, and also use an internet connection.
Thanks.
I use Bible by Youversion.
While you're on WiFi, just download the version you use to your XOOM so you can use it anywhere.
You could also use www.acrobible.com

I use the NIV Bible from Tecarta. It works well on the tablet and has good navigation, but it crashes occasionally. The Bible from YouVersion is also good, as mentioned above, but the navigation is not as user friendly.
I use tecarta nasb. Works perfectly for me but it does cost money

Thanks guys..
I have NewVersion I just need to download it directly for offline access. I never knew that.
I cannot log in though, for some reason it does not allow me to input any information for log in. It's just blank. Can some one confirm they are able to log into the software?
Olivetree has a program called Biblereader that is the Cadillac of Bible programs on mobile platforms. The program itself is free, but the various versions cost money. The versions are portable to other mobile platforms, and there are tons of additional resources that are supported in program. The current android version is one major revision behind iOS, but they are working on releasing a new one soon.
All in all, it is one of the best study tools out there on any platform. Check it out.

Will do, I am running into issues with YouVersion.
I use the Barnes & Noble Nook app, and you can get any version of the bible, (N.I.V., King James. Etc...) for about a buck. Has chapters, works off-line, can highlight, annotate, bookmark, lookup words) even does the little page flip like on the iPad, love it.

A little off topic
I've been trying to get the people at globible.com to add the android tablet platform. Very cool Bible app and the more people requesting it the more likely they will push development.
I am not a huge Olive Tree fan but it if probably the best offline Bible. I read that they recently updated the reader so I should give it another try. I have in my Kindle app, too, but find the YouVersion app has the best search feature.
I love youVersions bible. Tons of translations. I bounce around KJV and NIV during study, sometimes KJV is a little over my head.
If you go into the list of translations there is a green button on the right to download to the device locally.
I attend a pretty old fashioned baptist church, and get some pretty interesting looks from the older folks when I break out the tab
Glad to see so many other Christians on here as well, it's exciting.
Edit:
I got a little excited and didn't read the whole thread. But I saw one or two people say something about youVersion and logging in.
Even though it doesn't show your email or passwords in the field, they are in fact being input. Just be careful and you should be able to login without issue. It took me 2 or 3 tries to get the UN and PW right.

Yeah after playing around I finally got un and pw to work correctly.. :-D
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I'm working on a Honeycomb optimized bible and note taking app and I could use testers and people to bounce ideas off of.
I love youversion on my phone, but I can't stand it on my tablet. So I figured this would be a cool way to learn a bit about Fragments and just expand my knowledge in general.
Thread is here. I'd love any feedback.
I checked it out!
Thanks!
"ESV Bible" (free) and "LiveBible" (also free) support offline viewing. While offline is the default for ESV, you will need to download the texts for LiveBible first.
Is there a reason? I've used several nice apps from here, but just curious why you dont give them more exposure.
A lot of them are on the market, they are just posted here too.

It costs money to get on the market. Xda is free. Would you rather get something for free here, or pay for it on the market?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I think I remember reading in another thread that there was a fee you have to pay before putting apps on the market. I assume it doesn't matter if the app is free or not.

Thats true.
Its like 20$+ to be a developer for Android.
The devs may not be sure if they'll get that 20$+ back after putting it on the market and it doesn't sell as much... so they post it here
As a Dev $25 doesnt really matter to potentially get more exposure so I don't understand why other devs don't put their good apps on the market many of them are useful even for people other than power users
is $99 not $25 and not all devs are from market enabled countries
I'm pretty sure it's $25. The app store on iOS is 100.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
The only reason I can see besides the $25 or $99 fee is the ratings.
Once an app is posted to the market you have somewhere around 9.2 million Americans with access to your app. If your app has bugs or is not perfect from the start you start getting 1 star ratings. These ratings will slowly knock your app away from any sort of recognition.
Developers on XDA post there app here in order to receive constructive criticism, instead of a market comment like "App has Force Close Errors 1 star." Instead on XDA the developers can get and give ideas to other. Then when they seem like the app is fully tested they can choose to post it to the market.

The Android Market fee is a ONE-TIME $25. iOS is yearly.
Xda is a test bed for good ideas. Said good ideas get made into an app that gets throughly tested ppl with different phone models then the dev. Then the app can go to market.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
My apps are in the Android Market.
Mine is on the Market and has a thread on here, although I haven't attached the free APK to the thread.
And yeah, although the UI isn't great (I have plans for it) and I don't advertise a lot, I still managed to earn a little over $200 so far, making back well over the $25 I spent to be able to sell my app. It's worth it.

The above is a very good reason for posting your app elsewhere before publishing on the market. Most of the market reviews I've had regarding a problem didn't include any useful information on how to replicate the issue. For example, you'll typically get comments like "Freezes!" or "Force closes!" with no indication where in the app these problems occur. Likewise, identifying and fixing device specific issues is particularly difficult if you only rely on market reviews.

I'm not sure this is a big deterrent. It's a $25 one-time fee to publish as many apps as you want and you wouldn't need many sales or ad clicks to cover this cost.
agree....you will get more useful info alot faster on XDA regarding fuctionality and bug reports.
Alot of people just develop apps as a hobby with no intention of selling them. So why pay the $25?
and sometines you get banned without explanation so its a good place to upload you apk's google ban without send a warning maybe an icon, maybe something you did wrong and you couldnt fix they just ban and close you play store forever (and the next account you can made)
I put my Apps both on here and on the App Store.
I don't make any money from my apps, but I love Android because it's only a one time fee of $25 to publish apps to Android.
I was going to start with iOS but that's $100 yearly. Kind of ridiculous in my opinion.
Yup, Google Play is only a 1 time fee of $25. I dont think devs should be afraid of low ratings. You can't satisfy everyone. I get requests daily about what I should include in the app. There a lot of ideas and for a 99 cent app, I'm just not sure its worth it to build all these ideas into the app. The ones I do pay attention to are the ones where they say something doesn't work or it crashes when this or that happens.
I recently was on this site using my phone and (I'm not going to go back and figure out which advert was the culprit it's not my job) became the victim of the ransomware virus. I factory reset my phone rather than try to manually remove it. I had disabled my adblockers because though I can't afford to send money for your efforts (if I could I would but alas I live on less than $300 a month after rent and bills) I do feel like I should at least give something back and for now allowing myself to be subjected to 3rd party commercials is the best I can do. However this ended when that happened to me. You (XDA) has to put more effort into vetting the people who pay you to put their adverts on your site and or check to see that those adverts aren't being altered and used to mess with your reputation by attacking your visitors. Initially I was shocked that XDA may be a scam then after rationality set in I dug around and saw that the only fault (hopefully) of XDA is a lapse in security and that they too have been the victim of those green hat hackers. If that is the case, which I believe is the case you need to do something about it.

Sorry to hear that .some pop ups do show up when I'm searching threads with my phone but I usually ignore them and close the page . I'm happy to say I've never gotten anything bad from using XDA.
I have no problem with xda so far. I have joined this forum since 2014
But, my friend has problem. He cancels his registartion as new member because of this:

Yes, I had been subjected to a lot of malicious ads while using XDA on Android for a while, especially opening of websites that make the phone vibrate a lot and you can not go back from unless you close the tab. Really annoying. I haven't had this problem lately though.
I encountered this too. Not on XDA but when surfing Internet in general on phone.
I never use the build in Android browser any more but Chrome or Firefox app. Never had it since than anymore.
I root all phones and for those who do also root: freeze the standard Android browser in Titanium Backup.
Hello everyone
I can no longer read the forum from my Oppo via the tapatalk application, why? does anyone have the same problem?
Tapatalk integration has been removed. It won't work anymore. We have a new XDA app: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...rolling-out-now.4199599/page-37#post-84148669
Now that is a name I have not heard in a long, long time. I was an early Tapatalk user. Bought it when they had a paid version. Thought it was great. Since then, many forums have adopted a mobile view that is more than sufficient for light mobile use. Not quite as good as Tapatalk, though.
Tapatalk had two major issues before it started trying to swindle its own users. One, if you paid (them) for the app, they would stop serving ads from the forums, costing the forum operators money. Two, the forum owners had to install a Tapatalk backend onto their forum, and that always had issues. So forum owners were going out of their way to do something which not only did not benefit them, but it cost them money in ad revenue. Then Tapatalk started cheating its paid users by de-listing the paid app and pushing a freemium one in its place.
Tapatalk can take a flying leap.
That said, sad to see the XDA app that replaced it is not on the iOS App Store. While I still love Android in general, I'm an iPhone guy now. I used to be an iPhone hater, so it's kind of funny, but the whole smartphone wars thing was overblown, it was never really any good for anybody except the corporations, who loved it when people would swear off one brand, only to buy into another, and push the fanboys deeper into their trenches. Today, my tech loyalty is only to myself — that is, "what tech is best for me?". And, this year, a $250 iPhone SE 2020 was what was best for me. It's not the fastest or prettiest thing out there, but it does calls, texts, and music, which is all I really need anyway. (And I got the red one, so it's pretty damn sexy.) And it's an iPhone, so it's gonna get updates for five or six years, because that's how they roll. Still, I never got the hang of forums on phones, outside of Tapatalk, so, I'll probably stick to desktop usage regardless.

Exactly my sentiment. I ditched the Android after more than 10 years... And for good now after getting tired of all the Samsung crap and constant lagging and planned obsolescence... And I'm quite happy with the iPhone despite being a real hater of Apple for the way they did things and their pricing. It seems they got beaten to it at last by Samsung. Anyway I loved Tapatalk for reading the XDA and commenting. And this move is kind of annoying especially as an app for XDA is missing on iOS. I guess I'll have to use the forum only on my PC from now on...

XDA has been optimized for mobile and is excellent on Mobile browsers.
