is there any RSS feed scrollers for the manilla front? this would be one hell of a good tweak/hack anybody know of anything resembling that?
//cosmodk
WOW, I don't know how i've never thought of that.....I'd love to have that on my HD. Here's to hope!
It's a wonderful idea and something I wish we had from the begining.
Now, in theory I think this could be possible. It would require an app that can "stick" above Manilla home screen, shaped like a line (above the clock would be best in my opinion, since there's nothing important there except operator name) and then that app would pull RSS feeds and scroll them.
Preferably, you could select which channels the app would pull from the RSS reader, what speed, how often to refresh the channels, and there you have it.
Piece of cake!
Now, all we need is someone who knows how to do it
great idea!
i'd love that feature too
Just bumping to see if there's interested developer that could pull this off.
I remember seeing it on a Sony Ericcson mobile once.. and it was SO cool.. wouldnt it be lovely to have an RSS ticker on the front homescreen. are there any commercial apps out there for this purpose? or some die hard developers that would be interrested in making such an app?
I would donate buckets of coffee for this to be realised
//cosmodk
...please somebudy, make it real
Maybe post this idea in the hack and developers forum.
[I posted similar idea recently, but now I have some new stuff, so hoping to get someones attention]
Idea: An application that would scroll RSS feeds on Home screen in Manila.
Of course, such an app isn't hard to make, the RSS Hub saves its channels into simple files - the problem is how to incorporate it into Home screen.
Well, I got an idea for that as well! Recently a small program called Personalizer showed up that enables us to change the network provider name into anything we want - that would be the perfect place for RSS scroller to show up! And since there already exists a way to modify this data, I suppose it would be possible to use Personalizer as backdoor for the feeds to show up in that text filed!
Even if they wouldn't actually "scroll", I believe they could be made to change every 4-5 seconds.
Then the only issue remaining is how to make those feeds clickable...
This is all theorycraft, of course, but I think it's still worth a shot.
I love this idea!
Unfortunately, no one seems to be interested to give this a try
i would love such an app too!
I think a better implementation would be to make a seperate TF3D tab for RSS feed (like they did months ago with the calendar/call history/Communications tabs). This way we could have tabs (in the RSS tab) which would allow for switching between various feed sources (CNN, BBC, etc). I think this could be easier to implement as well.
And one again, I'l love this feature too. (as well as more facebook intergration, so it renames contact to the linked facebook name, and gets email address if provided on facebook instead of just pic and bday)
This would be one of the best additions to touchFlo 3D in a while. i would actually pay for a nice working version. It should have its own RSS Tab with sub tabs. We should put donations up for whoever come up with this. I have $20 US on this. This should be promoted.
Please someone take this up.
why dont you get yourself a good dataplan / dataflatrate for this 20$?
Then there is no more need for pushinternet, rss and all this stuff.

FYI that makes no sense. You still need a dataplan to use 'pushinternet, rss and all this stuff.' Such additions just a better way to integrate the extra features, making them faster and more user friendly.
Silly you
Would be a great idea if this took off as I use RSS all the time and it would be so much more convenient if it was on a tab.

I think you don't get the idea of this tools. you use pushinternet and rss in order to view online content while you don't have an internet connection. but why should u use outdated and cutted information when you can have internetaccess anytime? silly you.

i do have that data plan u are talking about. i just think this is a good idea.
Oh, definitively would love a separate tab in TF3D, as well!
Basically, I would be happy with ANY way to implement RSS feeds directly into TF3D, whether it's via a special tab, or a scrolling bar... Whatever!
I'm not giving up on it. I didn't give up on Manila high-res wallpaper and a month later we got 3 applications that solve the damn low-res wallpaper issue.
So, lets hope the same principle works for this ))

Lol you miss the entire point of the idea of an RSS tab. If I'm using a feed, I want to know what's happening now, not 12 hours ago. If old, outdated information works for you then great, no need for you to post pointless posts to get data plans. Not to mention the convenience that a RSS tab would bring. Hopefully someone will be able to integrate it into TF3D

I think you mixed up something
feeds, podcasts etc. have no live information. the real internet does!
if i browse the internet, newspages etc i get fresh news. if you download an rss feed and read it later, you have old information. and most rss feeds have only very little information, most of them give you 3 sentences and a link for their webpage, where you can read more.
so, the idea of an rss tab is not bad! but its only useful for people, who dont have a good dataplan to grab news instantly.

Sorry but I think you're missing the point a little bit. I have 20+ RSS feeds and it would be fantastic to have these on a tab. Although I have a very good dataplan, I don't have the time to go to 20+ websites every 30 mins to see if there's something interesting. I go to the website maybe 1 in 30 RSS feeds for more info but I do like to be kept up to date on what is new on the websites concerned.
Just my twopenneth worth.

that's the exact reason i want the extra tab. who wants to go on slow ass 3g networks to check out websites when i can get it in an rss feed. i live in nyc and take the subway a lot so there is noway i can use the data plan underground making rss feeds perfect for me. adding it to TF3D would make it a lot more convenient for browsing instead of opening an application.
Exactly
I've posted a request for an extra tab for RSS a while ago in the Diamond section (since I owned a Diamond then). I would be happy to join the dev team with some UI designs...

A long time ago I posted the following request in de Touch Diamond section. Some people advised me to move it to this forum:
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 (or as a widget in Android... as I'm switching to the Hero next week ).
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...
Here you can find the original thread...
this looks nice..i wish somebody could make this or hopefully htc will see this & add it to tf3d-3
This is a BRILLIANT idea... I thought I was the only one wishing for this to attempted.
I want that too... would be a VERY nice app/widget indeed.
Cheers!
i want it too....anybody care to share?
Any enthusiastic developers out there?!
PLEASE!!!!!!! any developers interested??
please anyone else interested in this?
That's a really good idea. I hope it gets picked up by a designer.
Looks cool.
I've always wished there was a RSS Feeder in TF3D
up for a support to someone out there willing to share
I would really really appreciate this as well. I've been googling like hell for a good app like this, but no luck. The WM RSS reader is crap with its freeze bugs, so developing this would be great!

While your waiting I suggest you try a ROM with a Twitter tab... sign up and follow news channels of interest... works very similar to RSS feed...
Rgs,
J
what about getting ahold of the guy who wrote Speeed Reader, and seeing about integrating his application into the TF3D application
Other than that, great idea
I noticed a new ROM floating around with Sense for Android 2.1, which contains an RSS Reader & widget...
+1
Rather see RSS reader then Twitter in TF3D
+1
Bring on a RSS Feeder in TF3D!
did anything ever get developed? seems like it should be pretty straightforward now with the integration of Twitter and Facebook Tf3D tabs.

Some of you have noticed that our RSS feeds have been offline for a while. We were receiving a lot of traffic/abuse from IPs clearly scraping our content, and then using this content on their own sites in order to Google-jack search terms. That, in combination with the declining popularity of RSS, made us re-evaluate the use of RSS on the forum in general.
I've enabled the RSS feed again for those users who browse XDA via RSS but with some restrictions - namely we've put a request limit on how fast you may access different RSS feeds; as well as requiring that you be logged in to get any RSS feed.
There will likely be situations that come up that require access to data in a machine-readable way - we recommend using our API at https://api.xda-developers.com/explorer/ in order to obtain this data. If you need assistance in this, please feel free to pm me directly. This is the future of programatically accessing XDA's forum content.
We may disable the RSS feed entirely in the future depending on usage statistics.

Thanks for the explanation, I'm still using RSS and I haven't been able to use the old RSS feeds for the sections I want which I created some time ago (eg. https://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=524 or https://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=5340) in Feedly as I used to do last year. Is there any chance those will start working again? Right now the only one still working is the general news feed.
EDIT: reference - https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/about-xda/xda-rss-feeds-broken-t3490031
Any follow-up on this? I would also like to follow specific forum topics via RSS (currently using Newsblur).
//timo
would like to follow new quotes/messages via rss
I was almost ready to write a new thread regarding this very topic. I am also interested in RSS and I would be better informed about what's happening around here, following more threads.
Will this ever work again?
Thanks!
It would be nice if somebody posted an FAQ for this...and made it sticky. I personally feel the feeds should be enabled for a thread and not for a topic.
Just my thoughts....
does anyone know how to get rss feed for a specific device forum? so that i will know if a new thread gets created for my device?
