I had not seen a thread for this software, and had instead found it through an election 08 thread.

It's a nice RSS reader and news monitor, however I can't seem to find the options for social networking tools or package tracking. Anyone else?
Edit:
Social networking enabling: http://facebookonviigo.wordpress.com/
Package tracking is hidden. It's under Home > News & RSS. Menu > Add Channel >Useful Services > Track a Package
and you can't add it to the menu for some reason.
So, is this program good?? I need my Google Reader. My brother installed it on his BB Storm. But I was just wondering what ya'll think. Is this okay for HTC phones?
I don't know why--but when I load the download page on Opera with my Fuze, there is no download link!! HOw did you get yours installed
?

I've noticed on several forums no one talks much about it anymore. I used to use with an older PPC. I was thinking of using it on my Wizard. But if there is something better, let me know. http://www.avantgo.com/frontdoor/index.html
Still using it. New version works like a charm under WM5.
What do you use it for? I use mobiReader.

Correct me if i'm wrong but mobireader is an ebook reader while AvantGo is a purveyor of internet-based content. So this is why i use it for.
When I used to use AvantGo, it was basically a prefetch of all sorts of information and websites such as Foxnews, CNN, ESPN, Movies, Sports, etc. It allowed you to get the latest information in active sync and then you can view all the information offline on your PPC. Assuming as above posted it works with WM5 now.
i prefer RSS readers nowadays...
not restricted to avantgo content sites.
Do RSS readers allow you to read offline as well? I don't know, i haven't used these types of tools before.
One advantage of Avantgo, which I used to use (on Axim X30) was upload driving maps from (mapquest.com) and sync to my PPC.

Hmm.. mobiReader does relatively the same thing too, but it runs on XML or RSS. Choices are much less I guess, but the interface and layout are nicely done. In my opinion is better than AvantGo, for news reading and stuff. But, (as my questions on the post above), if you were to consider fetching web contents to be view/refer later, will need AvantGo then.
RSS readers....
...are pretty good compliments to Avantgo, for me anyways. I would like to use Avantgo on my Universal instead of my old Axim, but hadn't had a chance to install the newest version. The previous version messed up screen layout completely. pRSSreader does cache content. So Avantgo is NOT the only caching news reader. But only certain sites, like Slashdot and metacritics, are friendly at offline content. I can never get any of the Yahoo sports to work. RSS is great for lots of funnies (like Dilbert and Peanuts) though. pRSSreader and Adobe are by far the most used apps for reading so far. pRSSreader might also be good at certain podcasts sites, like Engadget, since the podcast comes as an enclosure, but I haven't really used that feature since I only go over a slower T-Mo UK UMTS line right now, instead of WiFi.
I want to add the following page link but I cant
http://www.htc.com/mea-en/supportrss.aspx
The phone RSS software allows me to either select popular channels, or search or put the channel if I know it or import it.
How do I add the above channel??
thanks guys
Hi,
Did you get this working, I just tried it with RSS Hub and it works just fine . Just entered the URL you mentioned as is and it simply worked. What issues are you having if any?
Its working now, anyhow, I use SPB insight.

this appears to be a java browser? am i correct?
is there a windows mobile cab somewhere?
Bolt has always been a Java browser, that's why I don't use it. It feels too limited for me.
I have made a bundled for local install. However, the notify still connects, but it should minimize the download. Full Cert version (dual signed) attached. Unzip, run the jad using your Java (JBED/JBlend). It should use the local bolt.jar file.
Java or not Java, I've been enjoying Opera Mini a lot, and been beta testing BOLT (not so good that time). I'll test again now that they have much richer options (including disable picture/image, which is important to me)
Does anyone know how to get the youtube flash content working in bolt? When I click on the selected video it ask to "Open URL"? And when I click yes it says, "Opera Invoke error". Any Ideas? Do I possibly need another program or something to get this to work.
it suck
i can't play video every time i click on play it loading to 100%then again show me to click plsy button then again circle goes on....why?HTC P3400
Youtube does't play too.
where's the back button?
UPDATE!!!
Updated BOLT 1.7
Extract, run the bolts2local.jad file that will pickup the local jar instead of going to the net.
Enjoy ..
BOLT 2.0 Beta

Really fast on my Artemis WM 6.5.5 using Cloudyfa Esmertec Jbed. Excellent for reading and replying to xda-forum.
Can anyone suggest a suitable MIDlet manager that works from SD card and handles passwords?
Cheers
Tom

Yes - Boltbrowser automatically updates to 2.3 which introduced a dowload site to help them make some money. Now that Skyfire has abandoned WM I use Bolt more along with Opera mini.
Every browser has advantages and disadvantages. I like the RSS feeds and large fonts.

'opera invoke error' keep getting this from all video link on bolt browser 2.3
Opera/Opera Mobile lets you add extra engines (and search types) to the search bar in the browser. I've added quite a few useful ones that other users might find helpful to the file here: http://pastebin.com/LCjLs2Rs
Directions on how to use it are in the file.
NOTE: You will need opera on the desktop as well until adding searches directly to the phone is fixed. See the note at the end of this post on a workaround for it currently needed until opera or one of us fixes it.
Searches currently added (besides default):
Google/youtube video search (high quality videos only)
Google images (default/2MP/6MP)
Google lucky search (type a term, takes you to the site if it has a match)
Google maps (may not be as useful on the phone obviously)
Google news
Google finance
abbreviation lookup
linux man page search
stack exchange search
hacker news search (http://news.ycombinator.com/)
webster dictionary lookup
php.net function search
duck duck go search engine
ohnorobot comic search
wikiquote search
...more to come whenever
Currently trying to manually add searches on the phone by adding search.ini to /data/data/.com.opera.browser/opera/search.ini in the same format as the desktop version currently does not work. You can hack around that by just using opera link to sync to the desktop version though after adding them there.
Another useful feature if you use both opera desktop and mobile:
https://addons.opera.com/addons/extensions/details/opera-to-phone/1.3.4/
Lets you send links to your phone using opera + chrome to phone app
Hello out there,
if you look at those "Ways To Use NFC Tags" guides on the Web they often say that you could use NFC Tags for Facebook checkins. But I could not find a guide how that should work. I know that in the "Trigger" App there is a Facebook places option but thats not the way I want it, because it should be compatible with all devices. Iam looking for a way to checkin by URL, printed as QR and written to a NFC Tag.
So thats how far I've come:
With the old mobile Facebook version (m.facebook.com) you can create checkin links like this one for example
-- https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=200553029958653&v=checkin --
This link opens correctly in my PCs Firefox Browser and I can leave a comment and hit Checkin. On my Android devices (htc evo 3D and htc one) it does not open the old mobile version but the newer touch version (touch.facebook.com) with a simpler version of the timeline (without the header) and no checkin option. Funny: the URL in the addressbar says m.facebook.com but its the interface and design of touch.facebook.com.
Does anybody know a working checkin URL for mobile devices? I dont need to open the native facebook app because I want it to be compatible with all devices.
Sorry if this was asked somewhere before. I could not find such a thread via the search.
Greetings, David
