Election 2008 Live Vote TICKER Software - for WM5/6 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Is there a piece of software out there for Windows Mobile that will show the votes reported tonight as they com in, like on new sites where they are constantly updating the number of electoral votes for each candidate live as they come in?
Is there a vote ticker software like that for Windows Mobile?
I would love to be able to see the progress of the vote counts while I am playing multiplayer Mariokart Wii on my bigscreen without having to switch back and forth on the TV inputs
Thanks,

Use RSS Hub and search for the elections update feed...

LOLL crazy idéa

Hmm, where's RSS Hub downloadable? I am really looking for something that can go on the Today screen that will check every minute, and just say "R: ### / D: ###" you know, something even that simple. (like if R is for republican, and D is for democrat, and ### is their current electoral vote count)

*Download Viigo here (from this post - see attached CAB file)
*To add the new election feed, click on Elections 2008 > Add Channel > Live Election Results.

when downloaded where does the program actually go?

what do you mean by "where does it go"?
Just put the CAB file onto your device, then run it from there. (the CAB file is the installer, but you have to run it from the phone, not from your computer) It will let you ask, durin ginstall, if you want to install to your storage card or to your internal memory, you can choose either.
Then, you can access it by going to the start button and clicking "Viigo", or you can go into your Start menu preferences, remove the shortcut, and it will then show up in your Programs area.

ty..had to actually go into the programs folder and start it then it showed up..cool program...i wish the auto update was a little more flexible

I was wondering the same thing but then I remembered that none of the media stations ever report unbiased. Then I wondered how unbiased this software might be or where it gets its info from.

Election Software
Doesn't matter now, it's all downhill from here.

Well, it appears that Obama has won. Congrats America on a hard fought battle - the people have spoken.

Not sure I understand what this thread is all about? It seems to have been posted today (or have I got this wrong?) but points to software which has been being used for months and referred to in various threads?
Is there something I am missing here or have you actually published an .ini file somewhere which lets users use all those icons (by pointing the iTunes icon to windows media player etc)? Or have you managed to get the sking to run on start up or have you managed to get the slider to hog less memory?
Please tell us what is going on in this thread!

rss program?

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.

if you have a qvga device aswell and would like this for it, its a lil different but here's a link http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=33795&highlight=slide+theme

I'll prolly do a version of that second one for my x1 aswell... in time..
Hope you guys like!

[Tutorial] Internal Testing of Phone

The easiest way to check a phone about its various functions or failure of such function is to use its own embedded testing .apk
How to access them is not normally Known to many
All you have to do is
1) Long Press your Desktop
2) Touch shortcuts
3) Touch Activities
4) And you can select activity of any application on your phone ( which has its own pulled down menu to chose from)
By selecting one you will have a shortcut of it placed in your desktop
so all you have to do is now touch that shortcut and its appropriate menu will open for you to test or select from
see screen-shots below
Assuming you have problems with USB connections, Blue tooth, WIFI, Network settings, whatever your phone is supposed to do, can be checked this way including running a ping test etc

If you are using XDA App or Tapatalk, long press on the post and select :good: Thanks Its easier to give "Feedback" in this manner than make an additional post.​
Direct shortcuts to activities can be quite useful. One of my main uses is to get access to the fullscreen feeds and updates widget (there is also an activity that allows you to select a few themes for it).
You do however need a launcher such as Launcherpro or Apex launcher installed to get this in the shortcut menu.
Thankyou so much for this insight, I spent 2 years wondering what this option was for and it never crossed my mind to actually try it
