Hello All,
I would like recommend me a good RSS Reader for our precious ppc (if u can upload it or give a direct link for downloading, it will be much appreciated)!
TIA!
http://pda.jasnapaka.com/prssr/ try this one it is free...
I've found the best to be Egress
http://www.garishkernels.net/egress.html
Believe me, I've tried most of the others and none of them compare!
Cheers,
Andy

I can just second that. Tried 5 (!) others, including pRSS, but egress is by far superior to all others. It's not free (12$), but well worth the money.
There is a 30 Days trial, after that, there is no way out but to buy it, because you won't want to miss it anymore.
Cheers

I also prefer Egress.
Egress is also my prefered RSS Reader, none of the others are comparable. It also supports podcasts!
speaking of egress, anyone know of a way to disable image downloading? I have so many feeds and end up with a huge queue of images it wants to download. i dont care much for them but dont see a way to disable image downloading.
I am currently using smaato news but haven't been that impressed with it. its pretty slow and often crashes on my hermes. I've also noticed that if I run it, close it then run again it crashes and my only option is a soft reset.
after recommended rss readers really guys
skinable would be nice but after decent functionality
thanks

There are hundreds of websites that offer free sw. Pdf readers included. Google search "free ppc software." You'll be amazed at the results produced!

::sigh::
What's best for YOU is not necessarily what anyone else even WANTS. Can you articulate your needs, or are you just looking for a reader that works with your phone?
If it's the former, then someone might have a recommendation for you. If it's the latter, go use Google.
These are some of the add on cabs posted in the WM6 board. There is the adobe reader cab in the first post
Good luck

I like foxit reader out of all the readers. Has zoom and touch capabilities like opera mini. You might want to look into that.

Why go thru the trouble of telling people to search first, when some bone head will turn right around and post what they're asking for. Let's all be on the same page, and play as a team!!!

I agree with you on the Foxit reader. I disabled the executable command for ClearVue which is worthless and have the Foxit reader as default.
Just thought i would share my search for a good e-reader for my HD2.
I have not installed doc tabs or ereader from HTC so looking for 3rd party options.
Freda looks ok - but nothing special that stands out. just a good solid app.
Lexcycle - dont do one for WM.
Mobipocket seems interesting and snazzy with desktop integration and is the one i chose -it does sync, and guttenberg also has mobipocket files, and it can import pdf and html and text etc. it seems well featured with most features you would expect and want.
HOWEVER, just be warned that the cab from their website did not work on first install. I had to uninstall it, and then install to my device via the mobipocket desktop software before touch navigation and menus would work.
It seems adequately features and not as nice as stanza, but OK. If you have touchscreen woes though, install through the desktop app.
Other suggestions are of course welcome.
I think there is one called AIreader that everyone recommends...might want to look it up.
I haven't tried it personally...I like the HTC ereader, but I need to find the cab for it alone since my new rom doesn't have it on it...
I am in love with AlReader! Just perfect!
Im attaching the (freeware) English version. Hope that's okay (it's so hard to find on the web)
I'll give it a try tomorrow and update my post
p.s. I am reluctant to give htc's ereader a whirl as apparently it is quite buggy.
I also like this one...but it would be soooo cool if we got a fingerfriendly version for our HD2...anyone up to the task.
I admit I still have a longing for the tabbed interface and large book covers that you get from the HTC e-reader

Yup that is the one is perfect for the HD2 and I love how you turn pages (I inverted top tapping to forward a page and bottom tapping to return to previous page) I found it to be very good, fast and with a lot of extra options
try it! you will not regret it!

I install the attached file it but it is in Russian ....
Hmm apologies for that... Sure it was the right file...
I don't believe I will be able to fish it out in the next 36 hours (wprking both days and v. busy tonight), but if you can wait a day or two (or someone else comes through) then please check back!!
The best Ebook reader on Windows Mobile is Allreader+. Unfortunately it isn't free but is worth the money, it can read all the important formats as far as I'm concerned and it has so many options that allow you to set it up exactly as you want.
Other options which are good are uBook and Mobireader.

Of course Freda already has finger-friendly navigation (configurable swipes and taps) to change page etc. As for finger-friendly settings screens, bookmarking and table-of-contents navigation, I am working on it ...
Other feature requests are welcome - so if there are features you'd like to see in Freda, please post here, or email me at [email protected]
Thanks,
Jim
Thanks for Freda by the way, it really is gorgeous. I think I will end up using it over AlReader when it loads a little faster and can open in fullscreen mode by default.
But love it!

Working on this now - expect better performance from the next version (particularly when opening a book for the first time, which right now is sloooow!).

Can you check the build number on your start-up flash screen. If it is less than 804, it might be worthwhile for you to download a new version (use the dropbox link on my website) - because build 804 should be capable of starting up in fullscreen mode.
Cheers,
Jim

+ 1 to that. I've been looking for a stand alone cab for it myself.
If you find one let me know, Visa versa of course .
Thanks,
Anyone knows if there is some reader for CHM format?

Hi Jim,
any chance of Freda supporting the .pdb format ?, All my old scifi books are in that format & I can't find any updates for them

To be honest, adding support for extra formats is not one of my priorities for Freda development - because it would make the program bigger, slower and buggier, and in the long run I expect EPUB to become the format of choice.
That said ...
1) As Freda is open-source, someone else might feel differently, and might develop a version to read additional formats. I'm doing some refactoring at the moment, so that adapting Freda in this way will become fairly simple.
2) Calibre is a good (PC based) package that can convert various formats into EPUB; it might be a good solution for you.

Thanks for the tip! Will check it out on my HD2 1.66 WWE
Big thumbs up here for Freda! Finally an e-reader which natively supports epub format. No more hassle of converting with Calibre and using Mobipoicket (although not a bad e-reader).
Some minor naggles but I can live with those...

I've searched up and down this forum as well as Google but cannot find the app. I have a M3U file that I want to stream from my phone but I need CorePlayer to do so. Can anybody share or provide a link for a free download. Thanks.
Core player is software you have to buy. you can find it here: http://coreplayer.com/
cracked programs / warez are not permitted on this forum, fyi.

If memory serves me correctly, you can do the same thing with TCPMP. Do a search on here and you will find it. I am most certain that I have used it for streaming police scanner M3U files a couple of months ago.
CorePlayer is commercial software that you must purchase, TCPMP is free and is the source from which CorePlayer sprang.

Yup, thats what I want for as well.
I installed TCPMP_0.72_RC1 but I get an error message when I try opening it. It reads: "Unexpected program failure. Please send "crash.txt" to the developers. Program will now exit"
I don't know what the problem is. I have read other people having the same problem and I cannot find a solution. Can anybody help with this?

Any chance you have it installed to a storage card, and that storage card had previously had tcpmp installed on it but on a different phone? If so, some of the settings (which are preserved even when uninstalling) may be causing problems. If that's the case, go into your storage card and delete the entire tcpmp folder (after uninstalling) and try to install it again...
imma try this out!

No, I didn't install it on the storage card. I installed it to the device. Am I supposed to install it on the storage card?

Sorry for the late reply.. but no, there is no need to install to storage card, other than saving space. Installing it to a card was the only way I could think of that would make "left over" settings as the culprit to your problems. Hope you got this sorted out by now. Cheers
