Compatible RSS Reader for WM6?

Been trying out pRSSreader for a day now with XDA Live x0.20, but for some odd reasing the application won't load any pictures from rss feeds.
Any suggestions on which RSS reader fully works with WM6?

Try the one from SPB..

I forgot to mention, that I'm looking for freeware. But i'll look into the SPB RSS reader.

I also use Spb Insight. One the best i've used. Shame it doesnt have a today plugin though......
S.K.

Anything with a today plugin?

I tried Egress 3.10 with XDA-Live 0.3 but it hung on boot with the today screen plugin installed

Newsbreak works great with auto update.
it does audio and video podcasts
It has also a today plugin
but is not free...

I'm running Egress 3.1.0 with no problems at all. In fact, it seems to work better for me than it did on WM5.

Not running WM6, but Egress also freezes my device. I have the unreleased Cingular rom installed. I emailed the dev, but no word.

re: rss reader
I just use pocket rss, does the job- no problems

Compatible RSS Reader for WM6
I tried SPB's Insight and it was OK, but then I was referred to NewsBreak by Scott Hanselmann's blog. I tried it, paid $7.95 for it, and love it. Much faster and logical (to me anyway). More info here.

I'd have to say I'm also a fan of PocketRSS. I didn't see a huge point of having an RSS feeder that doesn't show up on the Today screen. This one does and works well. The website you can get it at is happyjackroad.net

Good to know. I know I didn't give myself enough time with WM6 to figure out the issue, but sometime I'll flash it back and try again...

htc music home screen plugin?

anyone where i can get this cab to install on my hermes?

Is this the one you mean?
Is a very nice plugin but running WMPlayer and this plugin 15MB of Ram
If Someone can hack it to just a today player will be better.

Hi there,
Here is a better plug-in for the WMP for Today's screen!

This is more better wmp today plug-in.
and it is freeware

Anyone got anything better? Lol...

Was that sarcasm??

Thanks to everyone for sharing the available plugins
Really appreciated !!

Im not 100% but I think you can dl an audio codec for CORE that uses .5mb. if anyone is interested check out htc-devs

Is there a consensus as to which plugin is better?
And can someone please post screen shots of the plugin?
Thanks.

I prefer the HTC plugin myself. I finally got the SPB one to work, but it would cause my TyTN to hang all of the time requiring a soft reset. And even then, sometimes it would fail to boot, hanging on the today screen. No hanging or wake-up problems with the HTC version.

Touchflo 2d Manila On Artemis Working Great

FOR WHO WANTS ORIGINAL TOUCHFLO 2D MANILA ON ARTEMIS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425694
IT WORKS REALLY FINE AND SMOOTH ON
I HAVE AN ARTEMIS ANJA AND MOSSI ROM 6.1

i second this on yues extra-clean!
greetz
p.s. one thing i really dont fancy about those manila guys is their not displaying the version details in the cab name, this way you find various .cab version posted everywhere and never know which one it is!

this 1 is much better thn all those throttle launcher themes

... just one thing i am missing:
how to change the buttons of the bottom row- order and showing buttons-- i just dont need all of them!
greetz
p.s.. the manila dialer is cooked into yue_v9.1 extraclean !!!!

thormdac edit the file HTCHomeSettings.xml search for tabs and disable what you wont!i gonna try to make a lite version... the last cab install around 330 files to windows directory!!! insane

I haven't tried that combined package yet, but everything installed from single packages works fine on Tom's oops.

Are you going to release this rom in a single package?

would be nice if you could make a light version
thanx

Works but not so impressed
Tested it on YuE's clean rom, it works but that's all.
Don't find it so spectacular cause I work with SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 with Diamondskin 2.1
This Manilla thing it's a combination of Spb Mobile Shell Diamond Theme & Throttlelauncher.
BUT it would be nice to implement in any new roms, don't like the HTC Diamond home plugin in the middle of the screen... And they cannot implement the Mobile Shell 2.0 with Diamond theme as homescreen cause it's not freeware...
Only the clock is not so nice on the startup screen, but this can maybe be changed.

just installed it on my artemis touch 4.02 lite no cube rom, it took about ten minutes to install, then when i restarted it about 7 minutes for the pda to load back up, and everything was so sluggish ! I then tried to uninstall it and that took about 15 mins then gave up and said it could'nt uninstall it properly.
Thanks god i have a sprite backup to restore.
It may have been my fault though, i selected install to storage card ? or maybe it just installs to windows anyway.
oh well...

you must install to the device, even though it lets you choose.

oh well i cant even restore, so i have to reflash again, what a pain

i tend to agree,
even on my rocket fast yue extraclean, i feel extremely slowed down (in comparison to without it) in trade for which gain?- optics? hope we can lighten this baby down

The same for me (with an extralight rom and installing Manila 2d in device).
It works but.......very slowwww.
I unistalled it (correctly) but starting time after soft reset was too long: only solution a hard reset.

What about RAM consuption... What can you tell me about it?

I'm also uninstalling it, Spb Mobile Shell with Diamondskin 2.1 is much nicer to work with...
I haven't experienced any slow down of my P3300 with this either...
The Manilla 2D is still in beta, maybe some programmers can speed it up so that rom-builders can cook it in their roms.

HI,
I don't know why your manila 2d is slow , I only can suppose that must install a wm 6.1 diamond rom based , for example i get the anja and mossi on it , or must look for some rom similar
My manila 2d it is fast and works really well, anyway before installing it I uninstall all gui stuff like SPB shell
I installed manila on memory device and not on sd card
I have 14 MB ram free once manila is working , and is working well

i second to the past users' comments
i have tom's oops black 1.0 installed, and i've installed manilla on my device.
everyone should agree that touchFLO 3D aka manilla wasnt actually designed for artemis.. bt it was targeted for diamond which has higher ROM, higher RAM and a higher processors with a graphics device to assist its processes. it would be slow on any device with 128MB ROM and 64MB RAM and a 200MHz processor.
however, its not that slow.. i have 15MB free after Manilla is up and running after power-on.. i can use other applications fine.. bt surely the startup is slow.. takes a bit of patience heheh..
anyway its nice work from another xda developer.. i greatly appreciate ur work...
i've been using manilla on my artemis since it was launched for artemis.. im happy abt it..
hope that somebody can make it less bloating, more efficient, faster and more usable with better customizations..
xda developers rules!

how about reflashing but this time with 8mb pagepool ?

From where can I download Touch flo Manilla 2D or 3D even for my artemis (arte110)?

TPII with SPB MobileShell

I have to say, I persevered with TouchFlo but after putting the superior MobileShell on it's clear HTC have a long way to go before getting it right.
The front screen is just such a waste of space, if you could at least configure it to display mails, calls and a couple of shortcuts I'd be happier. If I want to know the time, I look at my watch!
So if anyone is new to TouchFlo and new to MobileShell then give it a try just to compare, you don't have to stick with TouchFlo at the end of the day.
Added bonus is that most of the apps and extra skinning still work without the today plugin enabled so it still looks pretty.

i tried and took out the SPB MS 3.0... have iswith my contact mgr.. i am back to touch flow

i switched from touchflo to spb mobile shell and im loving it! so much better than touch flo for me, i can actually get to my messages etc with a few less clicks!

I really like Spb MobileShell. Nomore TouchFlo for me.

i went with spb as well but changed back to touch flo. Touch flo has much mroe information readily available without needing to launch any addition apps. it is very functional. spb isnt bad but lacks some of the data i am looking for. If i didn't have touch flo i would certainly consider spb as a primary interface. defiantly worth a try for those who have yet to give it a go.

I works pretty well on my TP2.
I do prefer Touch Flo 3D2 because i really don't use the functions on Mobile Shell.

I was usin an iphone for the past 2 years.. ( since it came out )
when i saw the Tp2 i was really impressed
and decided to change...
never used a WM device before.. never had a smartphone before
besides the iphone.. so im kinda new on all of this...
when i saw the starting menu.. i was really surprise in a bad way..
being used to have all the app right there ( iphone )
and now having the touch flow... it was pretty awkward
for me, same day of having the TP2 i was lookin for cool apps
and found SPB.. and from there.. i never went back to touchflow!
im so happy usin the SPB

For those of you who are trying the phone with both TouchFlo, and without it, can you tell us how much RAM is available after a soft reset in both cases?
Thanks!

i was not sure wich memory i was supose to
tell you so heres both
Storage Total 277.60mb Free 71.35
and Program Total 187.61mb
free 86.99mb
this is usin SPB shell and after doin softreset.
im guessin the one u want is the second one..
wich is the one that uses the RAM...

Wow! If there's only 87Mb left, out of 288Mb RAM total, something is taking up a whole lot of memory. Could you try it again, after enabling the TouchFlo Today plugin, and disabling SpB?
Of course, none of this is critical if in fact the phone can run a half dozen apps or so, along with your favorite GUI, whether it be TouchFlo, or SpB, or SBSH. My iPaq gets down to about 40Mb free, out of 128Mb, and it doesn't seem to hinder it in any way. I use the SBSH interfaces on it. It runs WinMo 6.0 Classic.
Have you noticed whether or not the phone is as prone to memory leaks as other WinMo devices are? It wouldn't be the phone's fault if it were, it's more about WinMo than the hardware methinks.
Thanks for the reply!

yups, memory leak seems prevalent here. i only have the default programs running and available RAM drops to about 80+MB.

Isn't that storage capacity?
Try to soft reset and click on the topright icon and see what percentage it says.

The main issue I had with MS3 was the fact it can't interact with the bluetooth, so I'm sticking with TF3D until SPB can get MS3 fully compatuible with the TP2 (would be unfair to expect them to have it compatible at launch since they haven't had the phone for long enough to iron out the bugs!).

can you please post some SPB Mobile Shell 3 screenshots?

Hey, your vid-review of the pro 2 is great !!!

Oh, lol,
Well, I got just TouchFlo3D and I have just a little more right after softreset.
Total: 188.21 MB
Free: 92.61

Switched to Mobile Shell as well because it offers much more individual editing of the screens, but I really miss the contacts and the SMS/MMS interface from TF3D.
Does anyone have a good recommendation?

Opera Mini 5 beta is out

http://www.opera.com/mini/next/download/

Does it work on Dash i downloaded earlier and couldn't get past the accept screen?
I think most peeps will still prefer 4.2 if it's going to be the same setup as PPC.

I installed on Dash with 3VO 6.5ROM. It's more or less working fine.
The interface is a major change from previous versions, designed far towards touch screen operation then keypad. It does look slick though.
It seems a little bit slower zooming in and out. But faster page rendering.
I can't find the sync option in this version. Have to manually enter all my bookmarks going to be very painful.
I can't find a way to disable the inline input. so entering URL is a major pain in the butt.

In settings advanced the inline input is, had to deselect as on PPC there keyboard kept popping up and wanted to use own, i'll have to try again in bit with Dash as didn't give long enough time.
From my first impressions on Kaiser they got alot to do to make it more user friendly.....

It is amazing... Fonts are fantastic, the look is awesome...
It is maybe little slower but it is beta so...
I love the full screen option... The best Opera Mini so far...
The BAD: The search is not in English!? No syncing!? At least so far...
Anyway to disable the inline go in Settings > Advanced > Inline Editing > Off

The full screen option exists in previous version too. Just click "*" button twice
That inline editing option has no effect on my dash. After it turned off, it still show an opera mini edit window instead of the java editor.

i have to admit, i love what im seeing. It should be nice to follow this while it comes together. I think it will be interesting to see how the whole bolt vs. opera thing goes down.

Even though you see this, if you push the "select dot", then it should take you to the text input that works for the Dash.
I agree -- so far this beta is pretty awesome. I never thought I'd see speed dial on a screen this small, haha. Works great on my Dash, though I'm a few ROMs behind.

Are you all using 6.5? Just that when i run on Ricky Remade i get to the accept screen and the pointer comes up i'm locked yet 4.2 working a.p.u?
Just wondering if need to update java?

Looks like stuck with 4.2 then not that it's a bad thing
"Is the common thing 6.1 as no specs left?" just that would be good to know as can see then if this is happening on other 6.1 SP's?

i downloaded it,
works perfect...
i gotta unlocked tmobile dash running 3VOLUTION SERIESWM6.5 3VO.2.50.080809...
tzone hack still working and internets has never been faster!!

I also cannot get the 5 to work. Using Ricky & Kavanyas 6.1-Rom and Jbed 200812, no reaction after the Accept-Screen. Maybe someone finds a solution besides upgrading to one of the damn slow 6.5-Roms

Don't think it's the java version that is stopping it running as a user previous was using a 09 version, think possibly the core?

I think you are right , I tried using a diffrent version of jbed and also tried using intent midlet manager it dosent work either ....
Any feed back regarding how good is it ? i mean is it worth a flash ?

3VO 6.5 rom uses jbed 20080813.2.1
after a day's use mini5 i think i'll stay with 4.2 for a while. eagerly waiting for beta 2

Look like it just works with ROM 6.5 :|

Yes, for those using Ricky or Kavanas WM 6.1 ROM and interested in testing the opera mini 5, try installing the old version of JBed - Esmertec Jbed 20080813.2.1. I have attached the old version.
It works for me too.
