Samsung Epic 4G, Cyanogenmod to 4.3, latest Awful beta. After the latest update, on about half of the threads I view, there is a black square that takes up the top left quadrant of the screen whenever I enter a thread. The square extends to the midline of the screen, so it usually ends up covering up a person's avatar and the left half of their post, or at least the first few sentences. I can scroll past it, but it reappears wherever I enter a thread (view last read post makes it appear at the first new post at the top of the screen when the app jumps to it).

I don't have this issue on my Note 10.1 (2013) with a 4.4 version of Cyanogenmod.

Screenshots please.

I came here to see if anyone else is experiencing this. I'm running stock Android 4.4 with no root on my 2012 Nexus 7, and I'm seeing the exact same thing.

This is a known 4.4 issue with embedded YouTube videos.

Right now the workaround is going to settings and disabling "Embedded videos"

I pushed out an update to the beta earlier that replaces the embeds with a new version of the fake youtube links.
I also fixed the thread link in the settings afaict and the avatar/emot fix from yesterday is in it.

Yeah while I still stand by that point, since then both iOS as well as W8 Awful have implemented thread posting and the forums aren't (much) more terrible than before.

It's on the list but since there are currently not many people working on the app (and I want a few things done before that like post previews) it might take a while.

I'd rather have previews like 400,000,000x more than the ability to create a thread. Maybe 500,000,000x.

I would prefer a better "dark" theme included (wider text column, etc) by default, rather than the ability to create threads. Or a better PM interface, or better emote selection (like a search function) or a hundred other things before I need the ability to create threads in what's primarily a reader app.

I strongly disagree with "widening" the text, the card interface and whitespace makes things so much more readable than the old way. It would be nice if dark/light themes toggled by reading the ambient light sensor when the app launched though.

Hadlock posted:

The PM is quite nice now. It would be better if it respected the text size the user can specify in the Settings but other than that it's more than adequate. What do you feel needs to be done?

Hadlock posted:

It has a search function now though? Opening the emotes crashes the app for me right now though, report sent. For Sereri: GIFs enabled, Nexus 5 on stock 4.4, Dalvik RT.

The screen on my Nexus S is the same size as a credit card. It doesn't need to be any more narrow. I'm sure the existing theme is great on a 4.5" screen or 5" screen.

The nexus S is three years old, dude. It was unusable a year ago (I know, I had to deal with one). Burn a subsidy or all that money you saved on a value plan to buy a modern device. The MotoG is faster than a SGS4 and $180 off contract come January and the Nexus 5 is $350, on contract there are plenty of free good devices.

Yeah I had noticed that too, couldn't figure out why it was happening. Turns out the switch to Gradle and Maven made it compile with an older version of a certain library. The bug in case was fixed 4 days later but never pushed to Maven Central. It appears to be working now and is currently going out to beta. If nothing else is critically broken (ignoring P2R for the moment) this'll hit the market.

Considering that it's a matter of shipping one more style sheet, I think it's a reasonable request. As opposed to buying a new phone because you don't like the way an app looks.

Glimm made a version with it but it still has a few kinks. Basically any time a menu or dialog pops out it leaves fullscreen mode. It's currently at a stage where I would disable it by default and bury a switch for it in the settings somewhere.

I don't know about the app, but you can disable them globally in your forums user control panel which will remove them from both the app and the website.

Ok I ordered a Nexus 5 16GB, it will be here on Tuesday. I will let you know how that goes.

However there are lots of users stuck on 4" screens and that form factor isn't going away anytime soon. Mini-flagships S4 mini and HTC one mini are 4.4 and 4.3" respectively.

Unless that is what you did in the first place.

Oh. No, I built it from dark.css. If I attempted to build from default.css it gave me a whit4e forums/bookmarks screen, and there was nothing I could do about it. Same thing happened when I tried building from a POS theme.
If you're trying to use the css from my gdoc, I need to update that, or Sereri posted a fixed version which could be used, too.

e: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5s7dn0NW5g8RXBwRmZNeG9lRzQ/edit?usp=docslist_api

There's been some argument about whether people want the display stretched to screen margins or left in cards; personally, I like it stretched, so that's what my theme does. I'm really awful with css, and have no idea what I'm doing, though, so some bits remain ugly.

Sorry.

Is this the change to the android-query dependency? I can't build the current code in GitHub without uncommenting the android-query dependency import - I thought I'd update my fork and figure out how gradle/Android Studio work - neither "gradle build" nor using Android Studio to build work without this import.

Yes that is the one. I downloaded the jar from the projects website and put it in the /libs folder. It should be caught by the compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar').

I haven't seen anything else crash because of the bug so removing it and uncommenting the line should be alright for your debug builds.

I've never actively tried it but in theory this should already work. Posts are saved to a database and pulled when the page can't be loaded. There is no built in mechanism to save X pages, but if you visit the pages before you leave it should work, maybe even save images in Cache.
