Need some recommendations for a good RSS app. i am trying Egress out but i dont like the today plugin as it wont allow me to customise which channels are displayed on the today screen.
so what do people around here recommend then (i dont mind not having a today plugin if the app itself is really good)?
pRSSreader has worked well for me
If you own marsware weatherpanel, you can download newspanel for free (in beta) it nicely displays rss with pics on your today screen!
here is a screenshot
{
"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_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"
}
I used to use pRSSreader. It's very good - and free.
Newsbreak, from Ilium Software, isn't free, but is my current fave.
I have tried many but currenty using A6.Times News... The interface is very nice and easy to use. It is young in the market but many enhancements are coming soon and the support has been stellar from the developers. Here is the link:

Developers are very open to suggestions and respond in a timely fashion. ONe main feautre it is missing for me is a Today screen plug-in but I am told this is coming soon.

Where is this NewsPanel? I searched their forums and site but it seems like the company is in disaray? Their forums are nothing but SPAM postings.
I use NewsBreak which is quite good.
Not free though

What is "the bit"? I don't see what you are talking about.
well I tried Newsbreak and thought it was completely crap. not anywhere near as good as prssreader. no today plugin either, which is what I want it for. but the fact that I can't seem to get it auto update is frustating. any fellow users got any idea's?

can some one please tell me how i can put contacts pic on today screen,i seen it done with the treo 700 with windows 5.0.maybe some one can tell me of some software to do this,thanks
i use vjays phone tools and set shortcut with custom icon to my today screen launcher.
I also use VJPhoneTools on my Today launcher:

But there is a commercial app called MyPhoneShortcuts which does something similiar ($9.49).

Hi vjay,
when you gonna let us know how get out today screens looking this cool?
Bit busy
Holy sh*t VJ! That's some busy Today screen.
Davebo: Yeah, I'm still not happy about the spare bit of space in the middle (it's actually a plugin called VJTodaySpacer). Will have to put something ridiculous in there too! This plugin, VJEphemeris, is likely to substantially change shape as soon as I get a minute to re-address some of it. With my R&D on VJVolubilis etc, I want to build in one touch wifi/ir/bluetooth control etc, and some other stuff.
The screen looks busy but I find it quite easy on the eye (although I dislike analog clocks. I only did it to see how to do it..I think I'll remove it later)
I only have one screen, no virtual pages etc (yet!). The Quote of the day thing is funny, it auto sizes according to the size of the quote. So you get some long ones that autosize to like 3pixels high. Looks absurd
Has anyone gotten around to ripping the treo 700w rom yet? I'd like to have a look at their contacts dialer.

Wisbar Advanced Desktop will also let you put a shortcut to a phone number. Then I use vijay's tool for email and SMS.

mine changes every day!
atm I've removed all my spb stuff in favour of the new HTC plugs.
(latest pdaviet, with audiomanager today plug from the wizard thread)
The overall effect is ugly, I know...but i like it! ...it's like; technology, man...
Hey Triplejay
Where is the download for the MediaPlayer Today plugin you use please?
I have found 1 version of it (1.00 build 227.714) in the wizard thread, but while you can use it to control Audio Manager, it does not function with WMP. Just loads WMP no matter where u tap it.
I do like Audio Manager and would use it except that when wanting to play music by album, it plays the tracks in alphabetical order which is just dumb.
Hehe.. I change like the seasons..
the audiomanager plug in on it's own was on about page 30 or something. I've attached it here, but, you might not need it, because...
Something I didn't realise straight away, you have to go into settings, today, items, music plug-in and choose "the plug in controls audio manager".

here mine, I've modified png's of the HTC Home Plug

Hi there. I saw in this forum many good programmers. Can any of you make a RSS program with embeded photos like newspanel???
RSS Hub is my choice of reader, and will probably always be. Even supports podcasts, and auto updates.
The New Viigo beta, for SURE! Has TONS of features, at least give it a look:
http://viigo.com/beta
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398571
I like BeyondPod. It works well for me.
pRSSReader. does its job simply and perfect
I know there are a ton of free ones but I've always gone bake to SPB Insight because it actually downloads the whole article and not just a link. Does anyone know of a free one which also has this feature? Basically in the morning before I set off to work I connect to my wireless network and update all my channels, there is no 3G available in my area, nor where I work, no wifi at work either, which is why I like to have whole pages downloaded. I have HTC RSS hub built into my rom but it only gives me brief headlines wanting to connect to the internet to view the whole article. Seems like a waste of time to me.

pRSSreader does that too AFAIK
Try Egress.

I really like the Egress 4.0.0 interface however it has horrible memory leaks (Once I uninstalled Egress the memory leaks stopped). I have yet to try 3.3.0.
I really like pRSSreader which you can find at the below URL. The new 1.4.x release really improved the UI. However, there are a few small bugs that the author David Andrš is really working hard to fix.

all this programms are good but not any can show pictures in today screen like new spanel.
Hi all!
REQUEST
I've been working on this using Basic4PPC, and it's coming along quickly and nicely. But, I'm using the unregistered version!
I initially wanted to charge a tiny fee for the app, but I have a better idea. If I could get donations to get a proper license for Basic4PPC, then I'll release it and any subsequent versions and updates as freeware instead. Hell, I'll open source the buggers.
In addition to this, it means I finally have a development platform I can use to make the apps that I've always wanted to. I have the skills, just need the tools: so you can get more apps in the future!

The LGMenu as it currently stands.

Another day, another application I'm working on.
I have an LG KS20, and one of the coolest parts of this phone is the LGMenu. It's great! But the issue is: there is no customisation whatsoever! So I decided I was going to create something instead.
Currently working on the application itself, using holder graphics.
What would you nice people like to see in this application?
Customisation is a must, as well as skinability.
But what else?
Hi!
I like the LGMenu as well but didn't use it because it's not customizable. Therefore your effort is highly appreciated
Some ideas (see attachments):
- an integrated appointments view would be nice
- scrollable icon view
yy what replace skin for programms menu?
Being able to add wallpapers to the background, man, that'd be the best.
dude, if you like B4P buy the app, Erel put a lot of time in it
I did and i didn't even ask other people for money
+1 for scrollable icons
I think this would be most useful.
greets doena
I'm being paid on Tuesday, and I *will* be purchasing B4PPC. So shush.

That's decent.
I made my own site of official animated National Weather Service doppler radar images because I couldn't find any.

For the last year or more I've been unable to find 'official' animated National Weather Service doppler radar that runs on our low memory devices (gifs don't work and if you've upgraded past SenseUI, flash lite doesn't work either). Substitues applications are OK, but I prefer the real deal.
I just uploaded this a few minutes ago and there may be some bugs (both functional as well as interface, please let me know).
The long list of doppler sites can be avoided by bookmarking your frequently visited sites.
I also have a mobile site for new tv show air times from TVRage.com (also because there was no app at the time I created the page)
http://wap.pdxvr.com/t.php
Credits:
I should have given some credit where it is due here.
I used this for the javascript animation http://goo.gl/4baVi
I used this http://goo.gl/ejMju for deconstructing the gif (although I'm going to rewrite it from scratch I think)
I just put them all together onto what I already had as a site.
As a flight instructor this is very useful to me, thanks for your work.

I had noticed a need for NWS radar for pilots, I think there are maybe 2 apps out there. You are welcome!
This stuff is awesome!!!! How did you do it?

edit: So I didn't write that much of the guts of it, just sort of made other people's scripts work and integrated it onto what I already had going.
I found that the NWS was using this http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billb/jsani/ for some of the satellite images but not for the large doppler gif images.
Then I found this php class that splits the gif into separate images
http://www.phpclasses.org/package/3234-PHP-Split-GIF-animations-into-multiple-images.html
Put them together and voila!
I'll be adding all the other radar eventually, visible, infrared, water vapor, fog, etc.
Only thing I don't like is that jsani doesn't really scale with the screen (I had to fix it at 320px wide) but it zooms in ok it seems.
*whistles* Outstanding! Now that's what I'm talking about. Resourcefulness and ingenuity. Love it! Keep up the excellent work!
Just found this (thanks to the link in your sig). Good stuff aiwetir. Now I can get rid of that clunky weather channel app that usually didn't work anyhow.
Nice. Why not turn it into an app?
Another great app would be a simple GIF viewer. Great work!
