XDA RSS Feeds Broken - About xda-developers.com

For the last couple of years I've been getting updates from my favorite XDA forums in my RSS reader. The URI for a feed was of the form:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS1&forumids=4168&lastpost=true
where 4168 is the forum ID .
Starting yesterday, the RSS feed URIs started failing with a 403 forbidden error. I suspect something is misconfigured on the XDA side. Anyone know who I should contact to try and get the feeds fixed? TIA.

Indeed! Only main articles RSS feeds work.

This saddens me.
$ curl "http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=5915"

<head><title>403 Forbidden</title></head>

RSS??

Is there the possibility of having RSS so as to be constantly updated on posts and topics? Thank you!!
RSS has been enabled for a long time. If you're using Firefox to brows the site... look in the address bar and you'll see the link for the RSS feed.
Any chance of giving us the address of the RSS feed? For those of us who do not use Firefox because of restrictions placed on our PC's?
Thanks
As posted about 5 threads down from this one:
I am using SPB Insight as my news feed reader and have sucessfully subscribed to just the ones i need using varations on the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=312
All i did was change the number on the end to reflect the sub forum i wanted. 312 being the Trinity Upgrade Thread.

RSS Feeds not working on Wiki?

Hello,
I can't seem to get the RSS feeds working on the Wiki. I get:
"Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
* Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."
It flashes a page in Firefox first that says:
XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RaphaelLinux&action=PageHistory&format=rss
Line Number 1: Column 1
No RSS feeds seem to work on the wiki at all. Can this be fixed? It's a really useful feature!
Thanks!

Working RSS feed of forum in 2019?

Lots of posts about RSS feeds in the past, but all of those links are broken. Is RSS deliberately disabled for this site? Is it to push us to use a special unique XDA feed reader app?
Ideally, I'd like to get RSS feeds for:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lineage/help
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general
Anyone know of a solution for this?

RSS feed

Hi all,
Since XDA changed (argh nightmare, hate the default dark mode, my password was too complex, etc) the RSS feed I was using to read the news on Feedburner has also died - how can I get the news from XDA via RSS still? Tried searching but no joy - been using XDA over 10 years now so don't want to lose out on my fix!

That is weird, my feed reader uses that and it works perfectly fine. I use Foxish live RSS feed to add feeds as live bookmarks to Chrome.
Really odd - does work at all in Flym on my phone and it's the only RSS feed I can't get working - I've got around 15 others from various sites that work perfectly. Who knows why, annoying to miss out reading xda each day.
I just registered to XDA Developers to help you. I moved back to RSS from social media and decided on Flym. I Got everything to work except xda-developers RSS feeds.
Based on the GitHub page, Flym development has stopped due to a Google Play Store policy change... but the last change in Flym version 2.5.6 was to the feed code.
I downloaded Flym 2.5.5, the previous version, from https://m.apkpure.com/. Just search for Flym and then scroll the resulting page up to locate the previous version Installers.
Here's the actual download page. I don't know the forum's rules on hyperlinks. I'm just here trying to help...
https://m.apkpure.com/flym-news-reader/net.frju.flym
I exported an OPML file from Flym 2.5.6, then uninstalled Flym 2.5.6.
I installed older Flym 2.5.5 (tap the downloaded *.apk file in whatever file explorer app you use and choose Package Installer). I launched Flym 2.5.5 and imported the OPML file to get my feeds listed again.
Finally, I added the xda-developers feed and edited the feed URL to contain the following text...
Code:
https://www.xda-developers.com/feed
After refreshing the feed, the xda-developer articles loaded!
Be careful not to let the older side-loaded app version get automatically updated to the newer version with the feed issue. I tested 20 RSS readers since last week and I find Flym to be the best.
I hope this helps you!
Cheers
I confirm version 2.5.5 (from apkpure) works.
If I find time I will download the code and see if I can fix (or suggest a fix)
I really hope someone takes over Frederic...
Thanks for the great tool Frederic!

If you mean using Facebook web then yeah, if you are using chrome, when on Facebook web tap on top right three dots and add to home screen to have it like if it was an app
Microsoft edge can turn websites into apps, which load quicker than shortcuts
