SEVERAL MAJOR updated have been posted in the meantime. This article is a MUST for ANYONE wanting to know how to browse the Web on a MS Smartphone!!!
(Please note that, currently, because of the 10kchar post limit and the consequent slicing-up problems, it’s on my blog that the latest version can be found, not here in the XDA-Dev forum. Sorry for the inconvenience / external links. The URL is http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2084&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ).
The updates:
UPDATE (07/11/2007): Article heavily updated: added the two IEM Registry hack sections; added the jB5 section.
UPDATE (07/11/2007): Another heavy update: added the Flash hacking section.
UPDATE (07/13/2007): Yet another heavy update: added the Opera Mobile WM6 registry fix section.
UPDATE (07/14/2007): Changes to the NetFront section. Thanks to AximSite / HowardForums forum member player911 for his remarks!
I would like to subscribe to sub forums Example: Evo 4g and Nook Color Android Development. I use the Xda App and its amazing, but I would like all the new post to appear in my news when I read them all, I subscribe by email but not fast enough or sometimes it doesnt appear. Any idea how I can do so with out subscribing to whole xda rss feed. Thanks
I'm also searching for this option. Any ideas?

I'm looking for a solution to this too. So far I've been recommended FeedBurner, but that just works at the thread listing level. I'm looking to generate a RSS of the posts from within a thread... Anyone got any suggestions?
The two feeds that I've found that XDA generates are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=765
(change 765 to the forum level that you want)...
But this still doesn't list from within threads....
super easy go to the sub-forum and click the RSS button on your browser to get RSS link. copy to Google Reader.
if you have chrome you can subscribe to Google reader with 2 clicks. Rss button> Subscribe.
Evo 4g dev

Nook Colour Dev.
http://www.google.com/reader/view/f...opers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=864
wow hard.
note: rss feeds show newly started THEADS, not new posts, nor does it "bump" up an older thread with new posts,
nor can you subscribe to a "Device" subforum as a whole ( general Q&A Dev and Apps together), only sub-forums OF the device ( general, q&A ect SEPARATELY for each device)
Thanks trusselo, I found the regular RSS feeds as I said in my post. It's whether or not there is one for within the forum thread itself; and it appears there is not. I've tried various sites to dynamically generate a RSS from a web page, but they are terrible and syndicate a whole bunch of useless data.
Has anyone managed to use a third party site to generate a clean and usable RSS feed of posts within a sub forum?

Ye I was thinking that, but at the same time an RSS of thread data would be no more than what each page generates in standard forum HTML, especially if the feed was paginated with around 10-20 posts per page, like the thread pages are now.
I'll put it in as a feature request and see what happens in the future.
Sorry for the stupid question, i'm sure the forums had RSS links for each individual section of the forum but I can't seem to find it any more.
Could someone point me in the right direction or have they been removed?
anyone?
For some reason we don't have an icon for it.
Here's the URL for this forums' RSS feed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=263
Just replace the forumids=xxx with the forumId of the one you want to subscribe to.
Thanks
Dave
thanks, just what I was after
I've searched through the XDA archives but can't find any way to subscribe to an individual thread (not just forum ID) via RSS. Is this something that currently works?
Thanks.

Hi lio, thanks for that. I'm still trying to generate an RSS feed for within a thread though. So for instance I'm trying to get a feed for the following thread data:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=765
... and feedburner gives me the following two feeds:
Code:
xda-developers - Desire HD Android Development - RSS Feed: [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=765[/url]
xda-developers RSS Feed: [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2[/url]
... both of which are not generating from within the thread, they're just listing the different forums themselves. If you see what I mean?
These links no longer work
Is there some other link that we can use?

I know this is an old thread, but I'd settle for an RSS of my "Subscribed Threads & Forums" page. That alone would be enough for me...

Seems no viable solution exists...
I too would like this. I see XDA has their own feed reader app for the forum. Maybe they disabled RSS feeds so that we'd be forced to use their app so they can make $$? Kind of gay, RSS feeds allow me to check multiple forums from one list on one app.
Closest thing I found searching the forums is this: https://feeds.feedburner.com/xda-developers/ and maybe it can be modified to show the forum that you want?
I would like to suggest an improvement. (I assume the subject is manually edited, rather than scripted.)
I suggest that first and pure mentions of devices in news articles link to their wiki page - lots of times I read of New Miracle Device X123 and click, expecting to gain info on what the device is - phone/tablet, looks, true manufacturer, etc. Instead I get linked to the forum and the standard subs - developer, apps, questions, etc that all devices have on the forums and learn nothing except that lots of people posted about it. It seems like a perfect place to use the wiki for a quick overview and picture.
Then, when there is a reference to a detail about the device, a project, configuration setting or such - then link to the proper forum or a particular thread.
Assuming I'm fairly normal, I find I click those 1st links right often expecting general data about a new or unfamiliar device - and always get that first forum - that I could have guessed existed - making the first link (to the top forum) fairly useless, as the detail link will usually be listed below in the article to the thread about the particular topic for the device.
Hope I made sense, thanks for listening!
The problem with that is unfortunately our wiki is horrifically under utilised with most device pages containing little to no information.

My preferences change in wiki is not being saved even though it says it's saved.
Whom should i contact regarding wiki issues? Wiki admins?
--edit--
Looks like it's a known issue.
Bit of a bump...
It does seem that wiki is a great place for a first notice, and a first link.
While it's not really development, you have to know it exists, etc before you can develop!
Perhaps the first news team can be tasked with an initial entry form that becomes the first paragraph for wiki - manufacturer, release, expected OS, etc.
If news or development got to me I could rough out a form and start....
Everyday, I used to make it a point to log on to xda and read the portal post, which explains new ideas, announcements, new apps, new features, reviews etc. The post explaned everything and that was an excellent source of knowledge, probably around two articles a day. But since the past 2 days, I am seeing like hourly articles, which takes me to a different website. No article, Only link. No explanation, why I should use the app, etc. I feel angry now, as xda was my only tech read.
Would you please link me to a news posting that fits your description? I have not seen any like you have described in all my time here on XDA.

Got it. Thanks!
What about RSS?
I have the same problem, too many news. I don't need apk/theme "news" for example, I just like XDA News http://www.xda-developers.com/articles/
How can I do that? Thanks
6+ theme posts a day is ludicrous. Posts should probably be categorized and filterable. How do I weed the crap out of my RSS feed? It looks like I can subscribe to a combined feed with everything in it, a Comments feed, and an External Links feed, none of which are particularly useful since this update.
I miss being able to open the portal post to see comments and read the whole post. Is there any way to that anymore? It just directs you to whatever is linked. All the posts are cut off as well. You can clearly see the author has written something, but you can't read it, and when you click it you just get another website. Look at the attached pics.

Mobile view seems to truncate the text. On a desktop browser, you can see the rest of the sentence.
This listing confirms many of the leaks we have seen so far including: Snapdragon 810, 3Gb of RAM and a 5" 1080p screen.

The website you are being taken to is the article. This isn't an XDA article, it's just one we've linked to.
Thanks for the clearification. Is this also seen as mobile view? It's taken from a tablet with request desktop site on.

The website dynamically changes depending on device and screen size i think. So it's going to be slightly different again for tablets I think.
