Database Users

Designer desperately seeking developer to create TF3D RSS Reeder

As a frequent RSS user I still didn't find an RSS Reader which uses the snappy interface and touch friendly buttons of TF3D. So I created some screens hoping an enthusiastic developer feels challenged to create an ultimate RSS reader for TF3D.
Some requirements should be:
Import feeds from OPML file and/or sync with Google Reader
Update All, Update Channel or update Feed seperately (conveniant when using roaming abroad)
Auto update (every .. minutes/hours/days) and notify when new items arrive
... And more
A great wish would be to add the program in the tab structure in TouchFlo.
So the big question is: Which developer feels the urge to create this baby????
If someone feels this urge, I will make more screens, but I first want to know if there's somebody out there who wants to help me...

Hmm that's a good idea, especially love the "sync with google reader" part, browsing google reader on opera mobile is just plain madness.!
Love to see this becoming a real program! Hope someone will help you out nielsepiels!

yeah ! good idea !

Hi,
I'm waiting for it....
BYE, Bobo

hopefully it will become true..i know people in this forum are genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really good idea!!!

Got my vote too - I could offer my services beta testing on my AT&T Fuze - I would definitely donate for this - Heck, I'll give someone a few bucks as soon as i see a beta!

same.. i would def donate some money for this, was thinking of something like this the other night.

anythings better than RSS Hub - buggy as hell with its constant freezes

maybe this is the right place to post it.......i would love to develop such an application (and other tf3d plugins) but i didnt find any documentation on tf3d development so far......the only thread where someone asked for a documentation is only available in google-cache with no answer posted....
maybe you guys or someone who reads this thread do know where to find tf3d-dev-docs...
thx!

TF3D is developed in Lua. D-MAN666 is one of the few guys who knows how to edit TF3D and develop TF3D applications, like his calendar application.

@ Nielsepiels & Mandragore: THX!!

wow, this looks cool. would be awesome if you could code this app. and props to the thread starter, nice screens!
I think we need more threads like this. that way we get more finger friendly and nice looking apps!

Hi guys , i'm sure it's a very useful idea.
I'm thinking about coding this (i'am learning on mobile coding) , waiting for any suggestion , so let's go for making this cool stuff.
ps: sorry for my bad english ;-)

Came across this thread and thought it was worth reviving

There was a thread about this a long long time ago, but I think people just forgot about it. Its such a good idea - and yet HTC havent even mentioned any RSS enhancements for the new version of TF3D on Diamond2, etc :s. I hope someone can make this - they would definately get a donation from me for it

Upping this to see if there are any developments.

I wonder if the email tab on TF3D can be "tweaked" to receive RSS headlines instead of sending and receiving from an email account?
I'm going to try and found out how that tabs is put together it might offer some ideas.
I'd love to be able to flick through the headlines/stories from my favourite feeds like you do with text messages or even better have a "ticker" running across the screen with the latest news..... that would be cool

[REQ/DEV] [WM 6.5] Titanium CStocks

WM 6.5 has really opened the doors for some nice development for panels. Much like the existing Touch Flo 3D, panels can be developed to show your favorite....well anything. Already great work on weather, fave people, opera, twitter, facebook, ms office, programs, settings...colors, themes...etc!!!
One of the things I love most about TF3D is the stocks tab. I have started to tinker with a stocks panel for Titanium, but wanted to get a tab started for any who may have input, or have begun development themselves. I have been playing around with the cprs, bronzeres, and colors for some time, but this is my first past at creating a new panel from scratch. The good news for me is many have laid some tremendous groundwork to help make this an easier process.
My plan is to link the existing msn finance widget in 6.5 to the panel. The plan is to show the details of each stock pick from msn widget to the titanium custom panel. I am in the process of mocking something up just to post what I am thinking soon.
Moderators...gods of xda...please keep me honest as I am not actually posting any dev just yet. If I am out of line, please accept my apology in advance and shut me down, but kindly please don't lock me out.
Thanks....more to come!

If I knew where to pull data from seperate program I would try this. Maybe in the next week or 2. Does anyone else wanna jump this one?

+1 for stock widget
instead of msn money should be better using yahoo finance, by far more complete... titaniumweather use mortscript to fetch accuweater data, will be possible make this widget same way?

This might work if you set it up like Showaco is doing his radar for TitaniumWeather.
http://freewareppc.com/financial/tickertape.shtml

i am with you here man... i would give away TF3d if I can get a stocks plugin for WM6.5 good idea.... great idea...

There is a FRENCH stock titanium panel.
You can analyze and modify this for your convenience.
Go to http://www.jmlacou.com/wpJML/?p=15

Is there any update on the app?

With the current advancements in plugin developments, this would actually be an easy one to make. it's just a matter of reading rss feeds from stock websites. I'll see if i can make some time next week and look into this.

The French version looks perfect. I only know basic French words. I poked around on the site some and I cant understand. I am going to try a translator or a friend who knows French. Does anyone have any pointers?

Searching Friends problem on Facebook by using my HD2

hey guys,
I'm trying to add some new friends from Facebook by my HD2, but I can't search any new friends!! ;(
However, it works on IPhone but why not windows phone.
Anyone know about these?
Let me know Please
Thank u in advance

anyone can help??

You've not given us enough information to help you.
How are you trying to add friends? How do you expect it to work, and in what way does it not?
Incidentally, silly comments like "it works on my iPhone" will get you nothing other than silly comments like "use your iPhone then".

Thanks John,
Well, i go to "Friends" Tag, and click "Search" then i input the person's name which i'm trying to search, however, there is no other results come out apart from the person which i have added.
But my friend show me on his IPhone, once he input the name and then click search, there are numbers of results come out even he didn't add.
Did i make it a bit clear now??
Very Sorry if i confuse you guys, because English is not my first language

I have had this problem before on my TP2, it will search for people in my friends but not people I do not know.
Never managed to get to the bottom of why this happens, Sorry.

As far as I'm aware, the search function is for searching within your friends, not for searching for new friends. I don't think you can do that with the application.
The application is not meant to be a replacement for the facebook website, but rather a sort of middleware app that gets information from the site for you, and allows you to do some minor updates.
You'll still need to use the main site to do lots of things.
If it helps, you can use http://m.facebook.com/ on the phone to get the mobile version, which is a lot lighter than the full version and doesn't use any ajax or flash (which would slow the browser down considerably!)
Hope this helps

Wanting to Build an App.

I was wondering if someone could point me in the correct direction for information/help.
I am wanting to build an Android Application to show the News from a website.

uhm there allready is
every(yes every) site haves rss, rss2 or atom
just search for the app in the market and than look for the rss witch haves one of this icon mostly an orange icon with an point in the left(down) corner and 3 strides coming out of it (like an connection sign )
and insert the link on your app
Greader is the best in my oppinion

Thank you very much!

Weather App HTC

No HTC Weather and no navigator Copilot. Camera looks like crap also.
I just upgraded to W7 not because i wanted to but because I got so sick and tired of 6.5 not working. Not a thing I could do, 3/10 times I had to reset.
But Now where is all the applications? Where is the HTC weather application and the games and everything else my phone use to have. Maybe I am missing something or it is so obvious i have not seen it. BUt I want my home page to display critical info like it did in htc with 6.5. And I need my navigator maps back also. Co-pilot cannot find any navigators anywhere.
And is there a work around for the market place issue.

read the stickied threads in this forum and all questions will be answered.
Here is the short answer.
You can get full Live services working (with Market access) to download all of the apps you want with the simple tutorials in this forum

you can use navigon with uk maps.
New camera full resolution is available plus htc weather is downloadable also you can get the weather channel on app market.
Wp7 is excellent for my hd2 you just need to search & yee shall find my friend.

HTC weather app link
Do you have a direct link to download the HTC weather. I use this app a lot as I do photography in different countries.

either download HTC Hub after you get marketplace access or just flash this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944995
it's cooked into the ROM, as is chevron etc.. so all you have to do to get market access is call MS and get a code.

God help u another issue
Now that problem has a solution I have to spend 3 years in PhD School just to sync the dam thing. Why would i want my contacts and agendas in cyberspace? Sensitive info is between outlook and my phone.
These guys are forcing us into a place I am not comfortable with. Too much is syncing with too much. I visit Imdb and all my friends know. I go to the toilet and it comes up on skype "In the toilet"
Soon they will just digitize us into F.B.

More reading existing threads and less *****ing please.

I am venting because I though technology should make it easier. Drop the device on the cradle it syncs and that is that. Why is it so hard to sync. Why change a good thing? I have no idea why improve trivial things like the aesthetic and lose the things business people need (the entire reason for the smart phone is not music and videos)
I can vent cant i?
My Business HTC has now become a Toy Iphone, better at music than anything related to work. I think after reading the sync issue is a deal breaker, let me get this thing off my phone I have work to do.

http://www.companionlink.com/windowsphone/outlook/
maybe a fix for the sync issue

bravo.... afraid of syncing with the cloud, and solve it by syncing with g**gle? lol...

I think in your case its going to be alot longer than 3 years!
You've just installed an OS on your phone that you know nothing about, did you not think of doing a little bit of "reading" about WP7 before you put it on your phone
I'm not going to tell you whats just happened to your SD card

honestly why did they make it so hard?
Why force people to depend on the internet?
Why stop all the features that made me get rid of my Iphone.
Yes the UI is a dream, and 6.5 was a punishment but the good thing was flexiblity. Drop stuff on your SD card. And what happens when you are in some strangers house and need to give them a photo or a file?
Document sync needs another PhD.
I am on teh fence cuz I like the user interface because it works so fast and clean.
W7 the best way to convert your Business HTC into an Iphone.

I read about it, and the reviews didnt tell me about the sync issue or the office issues. Would it be so stupid to assume that a bloody smart Phone (i.e not a stupid phone) should be able to sync with easy. Now I have owned every smart phone known to manking even the good old Psion and the XDA o2, for the first time I have seen a smart phone turn into a normal phone.

Sell the phone, leave this forum. It will only mean fewer pointless spam threads like this one for the rest of the members who actually are able to read.

You can set WP7 to sync that stuff automatically with your skydrive. You can just give people the URL...

@ chumaj001 if you dont like a thread why are you replying Is communism forcing you to make useless remarks? NEVER understand these kind of people. You dont like it but you feel good by talking trash. Some of us actually buy these phones for their applications in the real world not for gadget boys toys.

I do have the solution to all you problems.....
Send me your HD2 and I will give you my old Nokia 6110 phone. It has no issues at all and does a great job calling and receiving calls. Seems perfect for your needs and level,
Cheers !
