Post what App you use to browse XDA - Nexus 6 Themes and Apps

Currently I'm using xda premium , but I'm not sure if it is the best way . Anyone have experience with forum apps and could possibly direct me to a better one . Seems like the premium app gets updated less then the free version. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks

XDA premium

Tapatalk here as well. Word of warning though, the ui on it has really gone downhill on it lately; super clunky and convoluted.

Xda premium is just tapatalk that only does xda. The name is even com.quoord.tapatalkxdapre.activity
Xda premium only updates after tapatalk does. Thats why xda free and premium update intervals varry.
So i would say if you dont like one, you wont like the other any better

I really used to like Tapatalk until the recent up change and am on the lookout for a suitable replacement as well

Went back to the XDA premium app. Tapatalk has turned into an absolute mess.

Chrome Beta
I also have the XDA Premium app, but I find it very uncomfortable to use and basically I can never get where I want with it.

Chrome

Mixture of modified Tapatalk 4.9.5 (Wont update to latest Tapatalk mess) Browser and XDA one Alpha

Chrome is the best solution for me...

Definitely worth checking out the new in house developed XDA app called XDA One. See the following link:
Official XDA One Forum App [Alpha] [APK] Version 0.1.11

Chrome because Tapatalk is an awful app.

aosp browser only. its fully featured, and very easy to use via the browser. apps are only partially featured(especially for posting)

Tapatalk 4.9.3 here... The latest updates to Tapatalk I just can't do. I've tried a few times and nope!
TBO Clear Tapatalk is where I'll stay.

Main browser issue for me is the latest theme hogs half my portrait screen. Wish XDA listened to feedback and made it collapsible.

[Request] XDA Honeycomb App

Dear XDA,
I recently purchased the premium version of the xda app and I love it.
I was just wondering I guess if there is a honeycomb modified version in the works.
If you would like a person to beta test and report to you, I would be thrilled!
Thanks,

+1.. would also like to see a tablet version.
It's based on Tapatalk, so I think they would have to update Tapatalk first. Correct me if I'm wrong.
But, yes, that would be great!
Add me as someone who would pay again for a tablet version. I am guessing that tapatalk would need to be updated first.

Off topic, but I don't like tapatalk (even though I paid for the premium xda app), and would like to know who decided it was a good idea to pop up the "native android" tapatalk window on every friggin' android forum so I can send them a rotten cabbage.
+1 on the rotten cabbage.
yes, my xda premium app works fine on my galaxy tablet, but always forces close on my new xoom. I would love to see an update real soon.

+1 on a tablet optimized version.
Using the website is nice, but it has it's bugs within the native browser. Have yet to try it on anything else, but plan to in the future.
I get so much fc with xda app. We neeeed a tablet version!!!!!

The xda premium and regular xda app both force closes on my xoom whenever I attempt to open a post. This does not happen on tapatalk or on web on xoom.
+1000 on both. Come on xda your too good for that app...

Hopefully this is being worked on. I don't see why it wouldn't seeing as this is primarily an android hacking site.
It can't be done without a tablet version of Tapatalk (which I would love to see)
So xda can't create an app independent of Tapatalk? I'm not buying that. I know the current xda app is based off/connected to Tapatalk, but i don't see how they couldn't create an app.

They probably could develop a custom one but why reinvent the wheel? I recommend contacting the developers of Tapatalk if you want resolution to issues and create a Honeycomb friendly version. That would be much faster than programming a custom app.

Tapatalk Pro works fine on my wifi xoom. It seems that the xda app only has issues with the wifi only model and works fine on 3g model.

Adobe Flash Petition on Change.org for Android 4.1 and Higher

So I started a petition on Change.org asking Adobe to please support Flash on Android 4.1 and higher.
I know Adobe said they weren't going to support Flash anymore, but with the amount of Nexus 7 Tablets being sold I hope that might help them change their mind.
I know some of us thought Flash would work because this is an Android tablet.
Please help in my quest to get Flash supported on this excellent tablet.

Dude, let it die. Do you actually use Flash that often? I'm sure people have made petitions to keep the first DOS computers up, but you have to move forward eventually. Flash sucks.

Don't bother mike.. there are atleast a few hundred of these threads posted. If they cannot do such a simple search, they don't deserve flash.
I do like the GameStop Kongregate App and that requires flash. I think Android still needs flash to be better and different then Apple.
If you want flash support on your nexus 7 just side load flash and use dolphin HD browser. Problem solved. I must warn though that you have to have the correct version of flash and dolphin HD browser. There was an update to dolphin HD today that disabled flash. Reverted back to the previous version. Problem solved.

Maybe he does. But simple things like playing videos (interviews highlights etc) from ESPN don't work without flash. So maybe not.

So true. I only wanted Flash for Cam4.com. Side-loaded an old version of Flash and then installed the newest version of Flash over it worked flawlessly. I can use both FireFox Aurora and Dolphin. I tried side-loading the stock Browser from ICS but that wouldn't install.
Just let flash die IMO.

New Play Store looks good.

I posted this in the Nexus 10 section also. The new Play Store looks pretty nice on the Nexus 10, Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus (I'm on Verizon.... The reason for the Galaxy Nexus and not a Nexus 4 )

Agreed! Just installed and I really like the softer colors.
Thanks for the find and post! Like the new layout

It's kinda nice, but it's awful at the same time too. The green color reminds me of Google Market from android 2.x era.
I do like the first page of each category better then before, where there were just banners and no text so you had to guess what it was.
Maybe it's preparing for KLP look? Are we getting back the Green? (nooooo, i like blue!)
Anyhow, thanks for sharing!
I installed think on my skyrocket this morning and was gonna wait for Google. But what the hell why not

Yeah, I got one: You're in the same boat as everyone outside of the continental United States, the new Play Store is currently only rolling out there.
So, until they roll it out worldwide, countries like Australia or the whole of Europe will just have the categories on the main screen.
Apart from that small "flaw" though it works perfectly, just bought an icon pack a few hours back on my phone, went without a hitch.

I paid for tapatalk just a while back. But when I try to get it now they want me to pay again.. I paid for this one that comes up when I put tapatalk inn the playstore right now. I had it just days ago before I did the update. But here's the response from them. Pathetic. What would you guys do?

Money hungry.
Here is a better explanation: http://m.androidcentral.com/tapatalk-now-free-hd-version-renamed-pro-additional-features
I bought it when they had the 99 cent sale to roll out the new one with Holo UI. I'd heard enough about it I just bought it to try it. Now I have the HD Version in my App pool, so I'm good here.
I still don't use it though. I appreciate the easy access to some things like "participated" and "subscribed" but maybe I'm doing it wrong... or not on enough forums that it supports. For the light forum use I do, and since it doesn't cover them all, I'm still just using my mobile browser.
