Somehow Marvel made like 10 movies with Thor in them, even though White Supremacists have co-opted Thor's Hammer as a racist symbolism. I think we'll be ok.

It's not "thor's hammer" it's a specific stylistic depiction of it, and it's less recognizable than a cartoon frog. But you're right, if it changes it probably shouldn't change to a different problematic symbol.


No one is acting like we won't be ok. That it isn't a huge deal doesn't mean it's no deal.

I was reading forums on a laptop during work downtime, and got a lil bit of a skeptical 'what are you reading?' from my manager, prolly because In was reading the alt-right thread what had a lot of tweets embedded

lucky for me I was able to go 'oh its people making fun of internet nazis' because he was a lib but yeah these forums in general can give the wrong impression

I love the lil getout frog, but it would be a cool feature to be able to replace it on the splash with alternative icons. Like low priority obvs, but I wouldn't hate seeing my good buddy :q: on startup

The logo thing is a bit difficult because Android does not anticipate different logos per app and the logo itself is set in a configuration file and static, so it can't be set via configuration. I'll try if I can at least supply a second icon in the app files that could be selected in a custom launcher. If that works I'll ask spanky to draw up :smugdog: or something.
The situation with the loading screen is similar but I'll take a look at what can be done there.

On 3.5.0 beta, the app goes back to the main forum listing if I minimize the app and then re-load it from either the app list or the shortcut icon. It used to have permanence; however I loaded the app it'd retain what I was reviewing.

Not sure if this is known; I skimmed past the frogchat.

The Porn Hub app has a option to use a less obvious icon. Not sure how they are doing it, but it can be done somehow. Maybe registers itself as 2 apps and hides the icon of which ever you are not using?

Same here and it's making me crazy. Also (maybe related?), it's getting kicked out of memory and starting from the frog screen way too easily. The previous version didn't do this so readily even on my previous POS phone (512mb). I'm about ready to roll back to 3.4.1. Is there an easy way to do that?

E: like just now. All I did was hit the home key, go to SwiftKey, change a setting, home key again then back to Awful and boom: frog screen then forums list. It doesn't usually do it that easily.

There was a really lovely iPhone app back in like 2010 that used the grenade as its icon and charged money, and Lowtax banned the guy who made it. It was never clear whether the ban was for using the grenade, charging money for a forums app, or both. I have no idea if this is why the android devs don't use the grenade nowadays, but it scared people off of using the grenade in an app icon for a long time.

I like the Something app better for several reasons (is that wrong to say in here when there's development crossover?) and one of them is the grenade-ish logo, if you don't want the frog logo check out the other android app.

If that's happening then the app is being kicked out of memory, either because it's crashing or the system is aggressively reclaiming memory when it goes to the background. I can't see your username in any of the crash logs (do you have Sign Reports enabled in the Account settings?) and there aren't any issues for the beta build anyway, nothing that's happened multiple times anyway. Are you running some kind of performance app, or some rom thing like Xposed, or have "Don't keep activities" enabled in your phone's Developer Options?



Also yeah what Sereri said about the frog, Android doesn't make it easy to customise these things but maybe we can work something out. It would definitely be better to have the option if frogs are now milkshake frog

My preferences for Something won't help as they're almost entirely visual, I like the more compact look of Something since it uses the original thread tags instead of the large square ones, I like the smaller top bar, and I like how the thread you're reading is still in view on the side if you flick back to the thread list, and I like that transition better than the zooming/fading away into the back that Awful does. Except I think the PM composition interface is more clear on Something. Other than that it's all just differing visual choices I prefer.

But that's for reading the forums, doing anything else Awful has all the features Something doesn't of course.

I use both apps and having them together in a folder so it says SOMETHING AWFUL with grenade coffee and frog amuses me.

Sign Reports is enabled, and I'm not doing any of those things. It's not happening to any other app, a fact of which I am extra aware because my current phone, which is new to me, is light years beyond my previous phone, where apps (including Awful) got kicked out on the regular. Even then neither Awful nor anything else got kicked out nearly as often as Awful does now. I've gone back to 3.4.1 so we'll see what happens.

When you log out the app doesn't kick you to the login screen, it just sits there without confirmation that anything was done. Is this intended behavior?

That's weird then, anyone else in the beta seeing this? And what's the new phone?

Only thing I can suggest offhand is clearing your app data, just in case something screwy is happening when the app resumes forcing it to completely restart. Does it happen on every part of the app (thread view, forum view, forum list, reply screen, PM screen, settings screen) and does it happen consistently? I know you've rolled back but that beta's gonna end up being rolled out at some point, so it's better to try and fix the issues before then - that's really what the beta is for :frogbon:

Yeah, I'm seeing it as well. On a Pixel 2 XL, if I leave the app and reopen it through the app icon, it opens to the forum index. It's not purging the app from memory, I don't think, because I can still swipe left twice to get back to my most recent thread. Reopening the app through the recent apps list also works as it's supposed to.

Nah Hipster D is talking about the app constantly restarting (with the splash screen) just from like popping over to another app for a moment and back. The 'app icon opens the forums index' thing is a different issue
