Can we get RSS feeds for threads in this forum?

Title says it all, want to be able to have a particular thread show up in my RSS reader so I can keep an eye for new releases or latest news.

In firefox there is an RSS link in the URL entry area. I haven't worked out what the the address is but there is the capability to do so.

Exactly, in fact, thats how I saw this thread. Works flawlessly.

Do we need a RSS feed about getting RSS Feeds?

Yes, yes we do.
I personally just have an e-mail sent to me when you lot post messages... Saves all the hassle of RSS as outlook is open 24/7...

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

Are there any news app for the HTC HD2??

Can someone tell me what is the best application for news on the HTC HD2?
It is best if it can update news in real times on the homepage with compatible font for the HD2 screen.
I look but cannot find such program thus it would be great if someone can help? Thank in advance.

I don't know if it's the best but you might check out the AP News app. It's free and very easy to find. on the Microsoft Marketplace.

I have been using it for a while now. I like it a lot. Another thing you might want to try is some rss reader app.

Decided to look on the Marketplace and cannot find that AP News app on the UK Marketplace.
Is there anything else that is suitable or am I being useless in my ability to find it on the MS MP?

snaptu has a few news channels on it not very consise & not totally utd but for a basic news feed try this

i have not come across any winmo rss reader that is even close to what you get for the iphone or android devices (i have an iphone 3gs, nexus one, samsung i8910, archos 5IT and motorola milestone - and i consume news from all these devices depending on which one is the closest!).
anyway, after having tried multiple apps on various platforms, i find myself returning to google reader's mobile version.
i would suggest you set up your feeds one-time in google reader using a desktop, and then from your phone access the mobile version located at google.com/reader/i (note the "i" at the end of the string).
you can use opera 10 - the formatting is a bit off, but the headlines wrap properly. you could also try skyfire.
if you consume lot of feeds, you will love the way stories expand in place, and flicking down takes you to more headlines. this vertical approach is much faster and elegant than the horizontal approach implemented by dedicated rss apps. those apps take you to the story in a new window and then you have to retract back to get to the list. you are always backing in and out, rather than flicking downwards seamlessly...

I have tried Daily News and AP News app and gotta say Daily News was better - until I found Yomo Media... Take a look at it...
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-yomomedia.html
BTW - you want to install OMarket as well as it stores about 500 free apps for WinMo devices....

More devs should start developing apps with the ManilaSDK. It is pretty much aweseome, and makes us able to create state of the art apps for the, in my oppinion best mobile plattform!
Freewarepocketpc.net is an awesome plattform to share the products!

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.
I am looking to do something similar to the Engadget Application.
Any Help would be great in getting started!
Thanks!

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!

[development]Filgoal app

hi
i found an easy way to make quick apps for websites
it is in that link : http://developer.bada.com/badaforum/board/thread/view.do?boardName=tools&messageId=33230&startPage=1&curPage=1
i tried to make my first app right away
My first app is for Filgoal.com (Egyptian football news website)
that app is totally based on RSS feeds and a youtube Channel
after trying the app i found a serious bug
the bug is when you load the first line of the news it loads normally but when i press back and load the second line of the news it loads the first one!!!!
i found out that all the news are shifted by one
of course i don't know how to fix this so i attached the whole app and waiting for anyone who finds where the bug is and how to fix it
Thanks in Advance

Yes, i am trying to steel the way for the scrolling, it seems that this guy added the webcontrol on a scrollable panel. that could be the solution for my problem the other things, i don't know the code is to modular to check it quick out, sorry.
By the way this example is from arun.sd this guy send me the Premium Partner E-Mail as i entered it, i think he is one of the main bada developers, and he is realy good, respect.

ok i understand now
he is a big developer but he didn't notice that bug!!!!!
i really need anyone to contact him directly to tell me how to fix it
i already wrote on his twitter page,developer.bada thread but he is not responding
if anyone know him please contact him

Yes i have his e-mail don't worry have you tried the installer method or the one with the source code?
You could post to his topic on the developer page there he should look out sometimes
And by the way have you ever seen a programm without any bugs? I not.

Thanks larioteo
it is just one method completes itself
i posted in the topic already
i thought it should be bug free as it is in the tools and libraries section
i am angry because i already uploaded the app to the seller office and i need to fix it quickly before being refused
i'll wait for further info from you

Dont worry, have you forgotten the mail? they will delete it automatically. or you can also do, but one question have you try it with another site? i am also interestet in this info app, its cool, and the scrolling is that how it should be

Already tried it with several sites and the same bug exist in all of them
when i get it fixed i'll make a one for XDA of course
maybe you can make for you sites too and give it a try it is really cool with its youtube feature

yes i will take a look after the next voluntas update ok?

of course
here we are a free community
you can do what you want when you want
we don't force each other to do anything

Please don't hurt me^^
No i think a little bit politeness isn't bad. We are all here for the same thing, making bada more suiteable for us and others.

@mylove Application XDA for bada sounds wonderful, especialy for bada OS section.

e-mailed Arun and here is his reply
Thank you for your email.
I shall be away from office till Jun 2.
I shall attend to your email as soon as I return.
Thank you for your patience.
Regards,
Arun S Devarajan

so when he is back he will see how to fix it
@baza14
of course it is interesting too
i think it won't be approved at Samsungapps so i'll contact morata to help me with its installble package making
i'll make it from tomorrow

Yes this guy arun is cool, i couldn't imagine it that i got the premium partner state, he is fantastic.
@mylove90 you could give it a try, how, pn me

Already made XDA app put there is a bug also so it can't get data from RSS feeds on the bada forums
it now can get data from the portal,twitter and XDA TV
to me it is useless because it doesn't support bada in anyway(the whole world in it revolves around Android and WP7)
it is pointless to release it now
will try with Arun to find a fix for it too
P.S : you are a noob video is so funny

could you send me your sourcecode? i will fix your problem. please make a file called
Changelog.txt
and list all bugs in it that you have found, detailed when it apperas and what you have done to get it. I am a little bit confused, in the last time, i need this file
For the appbuilder itself i dont have enough time due to sdk2.

Sorry for being so stupid and not posting the source from the beginning
Actually if you fixed XDA app you will fix the AppBuilder
i attached the whole folder from the SDK
i was all that time waiting for Arun as he sent an E-mail from two days that he is so busy and will try to fix the app this week end but i don't think he will have any time for it
Thanks in advance

I know he is currently coding on bada 2 i think this is more important.

Got the fix for the app from Arun finally
i'll try it and report my feedback to him

Hej cool, he is fantastic, isn't he`?
Then you don't need my Services?, Mabe change the gui or icons, that it looks more in your wishes.

yes he is so cool
but said at the end of the mail if you faced any more problems don't come to me back
he is just too busy
still i need you
he just fixed one issue
the first one in the changelog file
maybe some polishing in the app would be nice too
it is yours now
take it seriously i have not done anything in it to take it as my app (just collected RSS feeds)
here is the indexing fix
Credit goes to Arun
1) Go to: XDA Developers\src\ListForm.cpp
2) Search for this function in that file: "ListForm::OnItemStateChanged"
3) Replace the existing code ["LoadArticle(index-1);"] with "LoadArticle(index);"
4) Compile + build the project

found another fix for the UI to make the Logo pic over the articles bigger to fit all that area
Credit goes to me this time
1)Go to XDA Developers\inc\Globals.h
2)Search for LOGO_MAX_HEIGHT
3)Change values as below
#define LOGO_MAX_HEIGHT 90
#define LOGO_MAX_WIDTH 480
4) Compile + build the project
