For those that prefer using the phone's browser over the XDA app

I made a request to get a dark theme added to XDA and was thinking that if enough people showed interest it might get the ball rolling. The purpose behind this is that a dark theme would improve our battery life as I'm sure all of you know how these screens work.
Before the peanut gallery chimes in, I have no interest in using the XDA app.

Well the premium app has a black theme, have you tried that?

Your in luck, this has already been done. I don't have the premium app, but I am using the dark theme. Just go into settings, it is there.

:facepalm
Forget I even said anything
edit: Just so nobody takes the above comment wrong: I DO NOT LIKE USING THE XDA APP. I want to add a dark theme to XDA's UserCP options.

I'm not sure why you would want to request a feature you wouldn't use, but more power too you..
I originally opened this thread because I was curious to know why someone would rather use the web broweser instead of the XDA app. So whats the pro/con?

I wanna a thanks button on this app

Where are you getting the idea that I wouldn't use it?
I just like the browser version better. I have it as a bookmark in my LP dock pop up which takes me directly to general or development. With the Miran browser I have other forums in different tabs so I can go back and forth between them easily. Its harder for me to navigate the app than it is to navigate the browser. Also when people reply using the app, 90% of the time it gets put in the quote box and and looks like and an empty post when in fact the reply is jumbled in with someone else's post (see post #4 as an example). The only benefit the app has to me is that the text is formatted a little better for legibility but that can be fixed in the browser by simply double tapping the page and zooming in.
This is how I'd like it to look like.

Disable screen rotation when receiving call

It's very trouble when I receiving call. How can I disable screen rotation when receiving call only?

from stock firmware this cannot be done, but i know a few custom roms do incorporate this, batista rom i kow for sure

How about using the tasker app (Google it). Bit of a learning curve but amazing when u get used to it.

You could try http://www.appbrain.com/app/smart-rotator/net.xdevelop.rotator_t it's what use on DHD but i turn off auto rotate in system settings then allow via smart rotator the programs want to rotate Browser/Album/Messaging etc.
Just re-read post may not be what after...

Well, if he make the phone.apk/contacts.apk to not rotate, it might work.

Tried the app (Im on Cm7 atm), and it seems to completely turn off the autp correction as soon as you open the app. When you exit it the other things doesnt rotate.

Galaxy SIII swipe lock feature?

Hi, I was wondering if there was an app or something that enabled the screen to lock after sliding over the phone sensor? I noticed it on other phones. Thanks!
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App

You mean something like this?:
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...tically-disable-display-via-proximity-sensor/

Sounds great should check out
P.S. It seems like the screen doesn't get locked if the screen is turned of from this app I mean it wont lock even the screen time out period passes.

Thanks! Hope it works!

Yeah I agree. Is there perhaps an advanced app which locks the screen?

I think this is it:

Sorry about the link I posted earlier. Now that I think about it, this may have been the app that I used (the lite version). Of course, credits to kssood

If u continue searching for these proximity apps u will get many cool apps...u may get one that changes songs with proximity or if u want to turn on your screen with proximity then install smart screen on but it is useless and draws too much battery.
Just for information purpose I post this here.if u have any problem then tell me.I will remove this post.
Remember its not legal to download and use pirated apps.u must support the original developer by buying his app. Do not apply this method unless u are in danger to lose your life .
OK so here it is...
1.Google blackmart and download the appk.
2.install it.
3.u will get the paid apps free here.best pirated appstore after applanet)
I repeat again ...don't use this method unless u are in real emergency .

Somebody help!

My friends s4 (top picture) shows the date and time in the notification bar. No matter what settings I change, mine (bottom pic) only shows the time, also only shows time on the lock screen, where his shows date and time. Ive checked "show time" in lock screen settings. Nothing has worked!
Thank u in advance!

Glad to see that Urlacher decided to retire instead of puting on a different team's colors...
Try changing the system font back to default (Settings>Display>Fonts) that may have something to do with it.

Definitely glad about that as well! But yup we tried changing it back already and nothing...im @ a loss..
Im sure its some simple setting im over looking..

Try this:
When you pull down the notification window, click on the time in the top left. This will pull up those settings... check to see that both are the same.
It could be that the format you have set is too long to fit in that spot.

That was it! You sir are a scholar and gentleman, Thank you! !*!*!GOBEARS!*!*!

Where are the format settings? I only see an option to add a city after clicking on the time in the top left.

If you have World Clock enabled, you can get to the settings mentioned at: Settings>More>Date and Time

Charging as I type

I just got it it's charging at the moment any hints or tips for this tablet? Or any settings recommendations?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app

Jus run through the settings one by one and deselect anything that sounds like it might waste battery. Qslide, knock on, all nice touches but both waste that extra bit of juice and I can do without.
Enjoy

Ok thanks also what screen brightness do you have yours on?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app

Dude, why are you asking us? How can we know what brightness do you like? Which settings do you need? Just explore and try everything yourself.

Sound advice. I have tried daily at 50 60 70% and full. Personally I find full brightness too bright for web browsing.
Just have a good play

A he never asked that. He asked what brightness do YOU have it on. You do know people do this all the time. Just look into monitors at Hard forums. People love to know all the settings people use. People will say they get the best battery life with.. and then post.

Ok so I have it set up using nova Launcher just like on my note 3 I'm loving the tablet so far only this that's annoying me is the bar with the touch buttons at the end, as in when I'm using apps I don't get the full screen I guess it's something I will just have to get used to.

or just root and use one of the many apps. If you install the G2 xposed framwork you can make it really small. or if you install UDN Lite you can select auto hide

Do I have to root to use one of those apps?

Yes, it has to have access the system files (for G2 xposed) so yes...
