Has anyone had any luck on a consistent basis of adding custom RSS feeds to their BlinkFeed using the Verizon M8?
I haven't had that much luck and would like to add additional feeds.
I was able to get it to bring up the menu in Chrome to select BlinkFeed for a few feeds... But in most cases the Chrome browser just takes me to the RAW Rss feed instead of it bring up a menu to select BlinkFeed from.
The stock browser isn't an option on the Verizon model... only Chrome... I have tried FireFox and Opera, but have the same issue.

I like to have 30+ bookmarks and prefer to organise on to folders. Opera 10 on my HD was superb. Any apps to achieve similar for the Desire?
You can create folders on the home screens and save bookmarks in them if that helps?
@ Firedup, thanks. That helps.
Another work round that I have found is to export my bookmarks from Chrome to Google Docs. I can then open Google Docs in the Desire brwoser and bookmark the Google Docs folder page. I then have access to all my PC's bookmarks from Desire. Not very elegant but it seems to work. But anyone know how to import the bookmarks from Google Docs?
One thing that is very handy is to use GestureSearch from google labs: http://gesturesearch.googlelabs.com/
You simply draw the letters with your fingers on the screen.
Ie, if you wanted to find a link to this page, you start by drawing an O with your finger, then and r then a g - and b then it would probably be displaying your bookmark.
Hi,
The default / stock web browser in HTC Desire, is that it?
I found the user interface is not that good
- Is there any easier way to go to the bookmarks instead of pressing the "menu" button then bokmarks
- Is there any way to add FOLDER or GROUP in the bookmark?
Is this HTC limitation or Google Android limitation?
Its a No to all your questions really. What I do is have a folder on my home screen, and then create bookmarks for all my favourite sites and put them in the folder. Then I just need to open the folder and go straight to my bookmarked website. Its fast and easier this way.
Other option is to get Dolphin browser, an excellent browser. It`ll allow one tap of the icon at the top right to access your bookmarks. It uses gestures too so you can set one up for bookmarks.
Have used Dolphin since it was released and its always improving, but I still go back to the default browser as it does a better job of pinch/zoom.
is their a widget that displays firefox bookmarks for the homescreen or a way to allow firefox bookmarks from the bookmark widget in launcherpro plus?
You can download visual bookmarks from the market, which should display them for ya right nicely.
Nice! Ill check it out now. Thank you!

No problem man.
I'm not sure what the feelings are on reviving such an old topic but I have been wondering exactly this and, after following the advice google so kindly showed me, I was loathe to discover the current visual bookmarks explicitly states that it displays the bookmarks from the stock browser (this was confirmed when I installed to try it). So, are there any widgets to display firefox bookmarks?
To add a bookmark icon on desktop
This is the kind of widget I was looking for and Firefox does it out of the box!
Just hold click in the link bar and and Firefox proposes you to add a link on your home screen. Actually this is all I want, and works perfectly adding even a nice icon!
Hi there,
Has anyone managed to import custom RSS feeds in blinkfeed? I either get FC (trying to add it with the stock browser), or no option to open it in Blinkfeed at all (through other browsers). I believe its a known bug from what I read, have you found a way around it perhaps?
Thanks
I'm trying to use the bookmark widget. I place the widget on a screen and get the Choose a Bookmark box but the box is empty. I do have Bookmarks in Chrome. Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks.
A lot of people seem to be having the same problem, me included. I found a minor fix for it but it's still a bit annoying.
If you want to add a bookmark to the home screen then first find chrome in Google Play and uninstall the updates. Now you should be able to add bookmarks to your home screen, when you have added all the bookmarks you want you can reinstall the latest chrome updates. Being able to add bookmarks still doesn't work but you have the bookmarks you placed already.
Thanks. That workaround should be good enough.
