RSS Feeds On Pocket PC - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Can someone recommend the best *freeware* solution for RSS feeds on the Today screen?

As far as I know there are not any freeware rss readers for the today screen. There are freeware RSS readers though and you will find them at www.pocketpcfreewares.com
A rss reader for the today screen thats only $5 is PocketRSS find it at - http://www.happyjackroad.com/AtomicDB/pocketpc/pocketRSS/pocketRSS.asp
hope that helps

Web based - Bloglines
It's web based, but it's got a nice UI.

FREE pRSS reader works fine for me, it cycles all feeds:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Thanks for the suggestions! 1-2tje, how did you get the feeds to display the title of the RSS feed and then the content underneath it?

Just a question about pRSS Reader (i'm new in the rss world).
In the "Site Manager" when you edit a site there is an option called "Automatically cache enclosures". What this mode does?

Some RSS feeds contain additional data e.g. podcasts. When you switch on the "automatically cache enclosures" mode, pRSS reader downloads these enclosures so that you can play them directly on your Wizard. This is a great function but it is only recommended when you have a flat free internet subscription or acces to a wifi-network!!!

1-2tje thanx for the reply!
But i got a major issue with pRSS Reader. First time when i installed it, i soft reseted the device and then the touch screen wasn't working. After that i did a hard reset. I thought maybe it was a conflict with another application.
So, after the hard reset i installed it alone. But same problem, after installation and soft reset the touch screen wasn't working again.

1-2tje, just want to sat thanks for the link.

pRSS reader today issues
I downloaded and installed the pRSS reader, everything seems to be working fine apart from the fact that the today screen only displays the number of unread items nothing else. Within the reader itself, there seems to be no options on configuring the today screen display. How can I get the feeds to flash on the Today Screen? Many thanks in advance

I'm running the newest version of prssreader (1.3.1) and I haven't been able to get it to cycle the actual feeds themselves - as opposed to cycling through each site and telling you how many new feeds you have. Any help or would I have to download 1.2?

CNN RSS Feed Expensive
The RSS feeds cycle just fine on my Wizard, RSS websites and feeds cycle automatically.
one word of warning CNN news feed sucked up 500K of my GPRS bandwith in the space of a couple of minutes. I suggest BBC RSS feeds instead.

I had issues with pRSS. Screen lockouts and it would not autoupdate unless i opened the main program.
How new is the lastest version? I am not sure if i was using that one or a previous one.
As for PocketRSS, the main issue is that it will only update either all feeds or none. I wanted to have the BBC headlines which i had my my todays screen updating only, and only update things like engadget. It does not cache images either, which is a pain when using GPRS.
I have tried quite a few RSS readers (Egress is ok too, but not free). The biggest problem with most is the space that take up on the today screen of the small Wizard screen. PocketRSS is probably the best in this respect and you can configure the max/min height etc.
I ended up having to use two RSS apps. One for all the feeds i like to read, and PocketRSS with only one feed (BBC headlines for my today screen).

I use newspanel that comes free when you get weatherpanel.
i think its better than anything out there. www.marsware.net

I use pRSSreader and think its very good.
Only problem I have on the Wizard is adding new feeds. Does anyone know if anything makes it possible to select an RSS icon whilst browsing the web on my Wizard and have pRSSreader pick it up (like in firefox)?
In case it makes it easier for anyone, I would suggest installing the firefox OPML export extension
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2625/
which allows you to export your livemarks to a .opml file then this can be imported into pRSSreader

pRSS fails
pRSS has stopped working, it seems that it will not update the feeds after about the first or second time, I could manually start an update from the main program but this has now also stopped.
I guess I will look around for another RSS program with today pluggin.

I have try Egress and Prss and I could never get them to auto update.

rlCalendar (Development)

Hi,
i wrote this little calendar plugin for myself. Cause some other people find it useful, too i'll post here the actual english version.

Bugs removed:
- wrong char at the end of the clock
- wrong day colors if week starts on sunday
due to some feature requests it would be great if someone could tell me how to open PocketOutlook on a specific date. I didn't found any info on how to do this.
Thanks in advance,
Andre
Download Page at rotlaus.com
Thanks Rotlaus - it's a great plugin
Some questions/requests:
1 - Will you make the sources available? And, if not:
2 - Can you add some options for calendar and clock format? (I'd like to be able, i.e., to show always the leading zero for hours)
3 - Can you make the max font width bigger than 60 ?
Thanks again for the plugin
its nice to see some custom calender controls appearing on the PPC...
the guys over at Practisoft (www.practisoft.co.uk/practix.htm) are currently building a fully functional CF.NET version of their calender control (so ive been told!)
i downloaded their windows version and had a play about with it, its pretty impressive - ill be keeping my eye out for the CF.NET version!
This small soft is ỉmpressive
Kryptonic - I was speaking to David Goon from Microsoft at the Modaco party, and he said that Microsoft considers it unwise to use CF for today plugins (because of the overhead of running CF from Today). Hence, for the first time in my short years I've started learning C++.
This plugin is beautiful though! Keep up the good work.

Hi,
Rotlaus, this is very nice app, thanks.
Would mind making one that starts the week on Saturday!
Regards,
ksasat
Hi Rotlaus,
Sorry to bring this back up (not sure if you are still developing it) but great today plugin you got here. I was wondering if there is any chance you can add the option to right-aligned calendar, date, etc? I'm asking because I have the calendar on the right hand side but when I flipped to landscape mode, the calendar would be around the middle since it's not right-aligned. If you can add this option, that would be great!
Also, are there plans to make this WM5 compatible? I am using a Sprint PPC6700 (HTC Apache). The plugin works but for some reason, it does not automatically come up after a soft reset. I would have to go into the today plugin menu and unselect it and select again before it shows up. Not sure if it's a WM5 thing or its just my device.
Anyways, looking forward to hearing from you!

Great Program, Alarm plugin?
I would like to say thet this is one of the best solutions for my wizard.
So simple but nice to have a big clock.
What i liked about the build in date plugin is that when i tap it it goes to the alarm setup.
Do you think it is posible to have this option in your app. so i can set an alarm and also see a bell. maybe even the alarm time?
Great work though, thanks
hi, would it be possible to choose the font of the digital time clock?
thank you.

No, this is not possible. If you want a custom clock / calendar consider to use the rltoday plugin and make a 'rlCalendar' Skin for it.
well, too bad, i'll try the rltoday plugin again...thanks.

i'm trying that, seems great application, THX :wink:
Is there a web page for it? I may wanted to try it out. PocketBreeze is a bit slow on my already slowed Charmer. However, I tried a lot of other plugins and PBzz is currently the best on for the price of $10.
One of the thing I like about PBzz is the integration of the Tasks and Appointments on the same screen, and birthdays too. Further, I found the others annoying is the fact that they named tomorrow just like any other date, which may undermined the importance of that particular task tomorrow. Hence, everytime I was looking at my Today screen, I have to particularly check todays date to ensure that if the next task/app on the screen is tomorrow or not.
Do a check
can any body from the ones installed this app tells me if it enables me to set the saturday as the first day of the week or no.
Handy little app meschle! Thanks for posting it.
And, gwassef, no.

Thats something your end - firewall or antiviral causing that. It downloads fine for me - try downloading on your wizard through internet explorer.
Ok. I've tested it. My comments as mentioned above,
It doesn't show tomorrow as 'Tomorrow' and, it doesn't even show today as 'Today'. Maybe someone would talk to the author and ask him to make those changes, which is, in my opinion a very good improvement.
But other than that, it is a very good today plugin.

Very nice find! at last I may of found a replacement for pocketbreeze Will have a play for the next few days and see......

Copy the cab file over to the device via activesync - place in \my documents on your phone - click on the cab file through file explorer on the device. Install to device not storage card. Do not unzip the file - cab file is a self installing archive.
right all done - is there anyway of tweaking it though so you can alter how many days it shows?

Good RSS feed reader?

Can anyone recommend a good RSS reader for my Vario II? I'm looking for something that can access RSS feeds and render them nicely on the Vario's screen.
If anything worked with Bloglines (I have lots of subscribed feeds on Bloglines) then that would be really ideal.
Spb Insight though lacks of many features found even in freeware readers (like pRSsReader), but has a unique feature that allows to write a script (template) to download and parse web pages. It is at version 1.01 currently, and I believe it will grow to a better product soon. But after I used it, I don't want to return to "plain" RSS readers.
If you want to try pRSSReader, do NOT install version 1.3.2, try the current 1.3.3 beta instead. 1.3.2 has a serious problem overwriting a system DLL on Hermes devices.
pRSSReader is great, I didnt have a problem with 1.3.2 but the current beta is the best and very stable

I like Egress.

Newsbreak is IMO the best.

Egress gets my vote also
I am a Hubdog user and it's good as well as free.
I've installed Egress twice - and had to deinstall it both times because it crashed on my Hermes (Vario II). Does anyone else have this problem with this program? It looks like a nice piece of software.

Are you running the latest version? It works great on my 8525. I installed the program to main memory, and store my channels in main memory also. If you're trying to use the today plugin while storing the program and/or channels on your storage card, you're going to have issues.
Only pRSSReader provides a decent today screen plugin which scrolls the new items as a ticker ..
I'm currently running Egress on my Samsung i730 (trying to get my hands on a 8525), and I have the program installed in main memory, but the channels and enclosures I store on my SD card. Works fine, though every once in a while there will be a particular article in a feed that causes it to lock up, but I suspect that's just a badly formatted feed (or one with a huge inline image) rather than being completely the reader's fault. As long as I skip that particular article in the feed, it's fine.

That's WM6 running on there, with what looks like the HTC Cube. Check out the Wizard Mobile 6 forum for more info on running WM6 on yours.
Nope...
Hey Sam,
I just checked... This is not the cube. It's some other type of plugin and I just can't figure out which.
By the way, would you use this one or actually go with touchflo? I know it might be one big step up, but there's just something about too much "touching of the screen" that bothers me quite a bit...
Phil
Looks like the HTC Touchflo/cube, HTC home, HTC Audio Manager and some SPB thing (either mobile shell or pocketplus)?
tell me more...
Hey Draw,
I thought so too at first. But then I figured it's something else. So if it's not the cube or the touchflo, what can it be?
Damn, I'd really like to upgrade my 8125 to the best software. Aside from this one, which do you think is the best?
Phil
A lot, if not all, of what you see there can be mimicked with a combination of the following apps:
rlToday, see also their forums for many skin examples, and how to use this and the other two items i'll mention here...
mortscripts
sys2reg
While rlToday isn't being updated any more, the utilization of mortscripts led to the creation of sys2reg, which is essentially an entire library of mortscripts. Mortscripts can be called from within rlToday like any other program. Some people throw in Vijay555's tools as well... The mortscript library is capable of mimicking a lot of the dynamic information display seen in HTC's more interesting interfaces, as well as a lot of the stuff being done in the iPhone's home screen. Mimicking harder things like the animation associated with the touchflow cube is much harder, but I'm sure someone has made it work...
About touchflo...
Alright Myr,
This is where you might be able to help me out...
I decided to install touchflo on my wizard. I upgraded it and the rom to WM6 with IPL/SPL 2.26. I got the Touflo RUU G4 version and tried to install...
Unfortunately, it's giving me what I call the screen of death. That screen that has multicolored band and is a frozen image. I have to then pull the battery out and restart it. It then goes back to wm6.
I've erased all the extra programs on the phone, the htc home plugin, the 6 button plug-in and even the battery status plugin. Still a problem.
Now what do I do? By the way, I tried to install all the stuiff you mention in the last post, bu they sort of all failed... Now I'm focussing on Touchflo.
Phil

Sorry, Phil. That's where you lost me. I'm still running my stock WM5, and only recently bothered unlocking the SPL so I can upgrade if something really tickles my fancy. To be honest (and to be consistent in my comments) I probably won't update to WM6, but I wanted the option, just in case. In your case, that's the change I would suspect the most. Try going back to your stock OS.
I run HTC Home on my wm5, and only had to sacrifice the weather page (I use a much preferred Mortplayer for music, and so didn't even count turning off the audio manager tab as a loss). With a shortcut in the app launcher to weather watcher, I only added one tap to getting my weather report, so "who cares?"
Just to illustrate my point about not needing to upgrade...here's my screen, with the four tabs I left active...
(I goofed one of the tabs, the app launcher...will fix later, or not at all)
very cool!
Hey Myr,
How'd you do that??? By the way, being the persistent person I am; I finally got touchflo working on my wm6 phone. It's weird that it needed was to hold the USB button (left softkey) on the phone during the screen of death... And then it proceeds to activate the installation. Don't ask, I just lucked that one!
Anyways, is that screen touchflo? Or it that 6-button htc home plugin? I had to sacrifice my battery status plugin... It seems to give me problems everytime I installed it on touchflo; any idea why?

It's the HTC Home plugin, but I've modified it using the HTC Home Customizer from pocketemu.com to only have 4 buttons, and to change the appearance a bit.
Below that is rlToday, a programmable UI that's running some neat tricks. For example, I can tap the antenna and toggle wifi, and tap the BT symbol to toggle that. Below that is just the stock appointment plugin.
BTW, there are some that have modified rlToday to act and look like the HTC Home plugin. It's a bit slower than the actual one, because it's reloading the home screen, but it's effective in WM5. The actual Home plugin works much faster though.
Thanx for the info...
Hey Myr.
Thanks a lot for the info. But I'm not going to try to add anything to my phone as of yet. Not until I can solve the calnot.exe / clocknot.exe / reg??? problem.
Simple, it's driving me nuts! It actually invades my screen, sometimes freezes my phone... I've hard reset my phone twice, reinstalled the touchflo / cube software and ried several patches. No luck... Do you know what can be done to remedy this problem?
Phil
Nope, sorry. Try searching these forums, especially the WM6 forum for Wizard. If no love, post your error messages/symptoms there (this is a generic wizard forum, and you've loaded wm6, so you really need to ask people who've done what you've done).

You can download Resco Contact Manager 2nd Edition from the download page.
Tried it mate and love it shame about the skin looks like it for a kids phone lol. but got to say it rocks and will buy when someone comes up with a nice more professional looking skin for it.
Also , it's possible to see the day of the week next to the date ?
the scrolling is really smooth!
can u set individual SMS ringtones with it?
there ar still issues with sms when i choose to see whole message history, on a wm 6.5 rom at least... otherwise looks very pretty.
I'm having virtually no issues running it on wm6.5 build 23008. I love the kinetic scrolling, it's very similiar to the performance of TF3D, not iContact and PocketCM. The facebook integration is also great, as now I have several of my friends' facebook pics as their contact pic. I also noticed I misspelled their names and was able to update it with their facebook name.
Before I had to use a little utility that was only compatible with google contacts to bring over my facebook contacts, but it actually brought them ALL over. Resco's CM does but it only links the phonebook contacts, so you don't have a bunch of names floating in your phone's address book.
Great work Resco... now we just need an HTC-like skin!
Everyone that reads this should at least download the trial, just to get their address book updated!
how to overide the contacts right softkey in today with resco contacts??
I found a skinmaker for resco contact manager at http://forum.pdaprime.ru/index.php?showtopic=47279&pid=481469&mode=threaded&start=
filename is RescoCMSkinMaker.rar
Hope someone can make HTC-like skin.Thanks
I downloaded this app over 3 hours ago. I did not like the format compared to my stock contact app so I went to delete the program. I received a message asking to turn off the device to remove Program so I said yes thinking my Diamond would soft reset.
When the Diamond rebooted, it asked me to set up device since as if it was my first time using it!! (I said oh sh*t!)
I lost all of my information, like a hard Reset!!
Luckily I had SPB Backup which I used but I received an error message stating problem with cprog.exe
No Touchflo, calendar, contacts, etc. and no phone.
I am trying to Hard Reset but am not able to.
I am pressing the volume down key and enter button (d pad center) at the same time. While holding both keys I am pressing soft reset but I am not getting the message I should be getting. The Diamond is soft resetting.
Any help is appreciated.
I have Resco Explorer I purchased with no issues.
I have been trying to rectify this issue for almost 4 hours.
Why did removing the Resco Contacts app cause all of this?
Very frustrating to say the least and many hours wasted when I could be sleeping but I gotta get my Diamond to function.
I have not been able to Hard reset and maybe that is not the solution?
Multiple soft resets of no help. I don't get the cprog pop up but TouchFlo not starting. Says launching than tap to launch but nothing.
UPDATE:
Issue resolved!
I did an SPB Restore a 2nd time and everything is working now.
I should have tried the repeat restore
hours ago as I would have gotten some sleep.
When there was a cprog.exe issue, I could not find it in my Task Manager.
When everything was working again, obviously I found it in my Task Manager.
The question remains as to why removing Resco Contact Manager caused the issues as described?
Does it have to be removed in a certain way?
I went into Programs and removed it.
SPB Backup saved my as*, so 4 thumbs up to the developer of that software
I tried the new version, but there are still a lot of bugs/features left:
After a call, windows call history appears for several seconds, befor resco contact manager starts and furthermore, sometimes the resco call manager doesn't appears.
The resco contact manager has a really cool layout, but the performance is (at the moment) not usible for daily business.
...still does not support video call....

@resco,
regarding post #10, were you ever able to figure out what may have happened?
facebook issue
Unfortunately I am unable to integrate facebook, is there some specific steps to do? Because each time I try to log in into facebook from Resco CM it shows the login page and then gets me into my facebook profile instead of listing my friends, and then I have only one option on the bottom right : Abort. Any clues?
ya mine wont even let me get to the login screen
I never did get a reply from Resco regarding my issue which was a Big Issue.
(See post #10)
It's only been about a year though
I just don't use Resco Contact Manager
Any Update about Resco Contact manager & Facebook integration ?
