RSS feed - About xda-developers.com

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!

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

Offline Informations

Hi,
i am looking for tools for offline - informations. I dont have any data-contract. The only possibility is to go online at home via WLAN. From there i would like to feed my Touch HD with video-Podcasts and RSS automaticly, maybe also with other informations / applications which i dont know yet.
I would prefer something like itunes where i download video podcasts and sync automaticly to iphone. Is there any tool like this.
If not - can someone give me a good page for downloadable Videoposts or mobile friendly rss feed with full informations, not only half a sentence and attachend link which need to visited...
OK, i have installed RSS Hub so far. Looks great, but i need to find out how to setup in a way that it also downloads pictures. At the moment, there are no pics.
Also i need to find good rss with full text, not only a introducion and a link.
Another thing - is there any possibility to read twitter offline? Same as rss - download past messages and read them offline.
Regards
You can try pRSS.
I allready choosed RSS Hub.
Is there anything helpful tip for offline twitter?

I used a program on my WM2003 (a long while back) where you could download webpages. You could program the depth of the links as well. It was different from RSS as you could see the entire webpage, rather than a summary. It then showed a sumary on your homescreen. Anyone know the program I'm talking about?

[APP]Hydros Sync Center 8.0 Beta 3 - AUTOMATIC SYNC & CAB INSTALL FEATURE!

Are you tired of the same old boring activesync or wmdc for your Windows mobile device? All of us who have used Microsoft’s so-called sync utility know that it’s nothing compared to their Zune software which they have created. Anyway, you’re now in luck. I have finally gotten to the edge of my patience trying to sync up my phone with their software and ive started making my own replacement for it. Currently, Hydros Sync Center supports being used as a normal music player as well as a device sync utility. Due to it being only a beta, you will not be able to transfer files with the phone, but already it is much more user friendly than the old Activesync. All you need to do to install is unzip the package and run the setup.exe installer.

this is a mobile addition like mobileme in which you will be able to track your phone if it gets lost. This is not available yet and it wont be until the full version of Hydros comes out. Both Hydros and Hydros Mobile are free and open source software

This is a sync software and part of the definition of a sync software is the idea of being able to access your files. I hope there is no misunderstanding but this needs access to your box net account because it needs to sync up files. If you like windows mobile device center, then go ahead and use it but I want to be clear on what my software does.
so anybody got any other ideas they want me to implement into this app for replacing activesync?
beta 3 is posted and it has cab install feature + pictures library + some bug fixes so it doesnt freeze too much + AUTO SYNC!!!
-Check it out in first post
i know this might be a tall order, but could you make your sync center like the one provided by HTC for Android phones (HTC Sync)
that eye candy is just irresistible!
wow thats tall. could you please post a pic of it? i could try to make a theme. Problem is that sync utility doesnt actually "play" music.

[Q] Can anyone recomend a good RSS reader?

Hi,
I've tried a number of them so far and none of them are what I want:
gReader for whatever reason deletes a post as soon as you've read it return to the list of articles it didn't do that until this version and I can't figure out how to turn that off, there's no OPML import or export and it seems to not find a single URL I feed it for any new valid feed.
I've tried others but so far none has done what I need it to do, just download feeds, and images, if associated, have links showing, be customizable in that it can be organized into folders for feeds, not take over the entire device while sycing as gReader now all of a sudden does. it's become a huge CPU hog while syncing.
Any and all suggestiosn would be most appreciated.
NewsRob is what I've been using since I got my first Android phone, sounds like it should do what you're looking for and it can sync with Google Reader as well.

Funny, just installed it. How do you import or export an OPML file using this application though?
I have looked extensively for a good rss reader. I found Newsroom to be the best out of all of them. Personal opinion, but give it a try. Its functional, pretty, and works well.

I appreciate the recommendation, only issue with Newsroom is that it doesn't have gReader support. there is a four-month tech support thread that has the devs at the trileet company saying because the back end of Newsroomis proprietary and google reader isn't, that they would lose major functionality.
If they can't support google feeds then it's just not worth it.
I think gReader works great. I was one of the people who pushed for 2 way syncing and he made it happen. As for the article disappearing after you read it and press back, it's been like that for a while. If you want to save it, mark it as unread or star it. This is exactly the same way it works in Google Reader. I add or subtract rss feeds maybe once a year so I don't care how well gReader does it. I can just wait till I get to a real computer and do it there.
I use Greed (Lite) - free in the market. It integrates nicely with google reader, has the ability to follow links, and filter read/unread. Also has widgets that can be placed on your homescreens. No importing/exporting required... just provide your google account info and it syncs all of your feeds/folders.
Its worth a try... doesnt cost anything
Been using FeedR. It does cost some money, but its a very good reader with Google Reader support. Works fast, and looks great.

I currently use gReader. The problem you're describing about articles disappearing is that the app is set on default too only show new articles. The circle icon toggles between showing new articlesand showing all articles. Just toggle that and it will give you back your read articles. The check mark icon is to mark all articles as read. After I'm done skipping through the articles I don't want too read, I mark off all the remaining articles as read so it doesn't show up anymore
ive been using pulse and feedr. and so far. feedr seems to be the best one ive tried

So.... I wrote an app...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.threesixtydev.gtalkshare
It adds an entry to the Share menu letting you share with your google talk contacts...
I got tired of cut and pasting links out of my browser, reddit is fun, and the xda app.
It's free / no ads.
Let me know what you think
*I just published version 1.1 which uses oauth instead of user/pass. But it hasn't appeared on the market quite yet. (lags a bit)
that's not something that i personally need, but I will say thanks for making, and giving

What exactly can we share? I installed it and tried to share a picture and the app didnt appear anywhere ... any insights as to how to use it? It seems pretty straight forward but no luck.
Anything text...
gtalk uses a proprietary file transfer protocol So files are out.
Browser links, Apps from Play, Links from reddit apps (bacon reader, reddit is fun), etc

Aww ok, thanks for the quick info.
Dude. This is a great little app. I don't know how many times I'm helping someone fix their phone through Gtalk and need them to go to a thread. So I go to tapatalk share the thread to my messenger then copy and paste the text into Gtalk. This makes that so much easier. It needs access to write to Google talk which I understand. All in all great idea and it works as advertised. Thanks.
