Would like the ability to "mark as read" by long pressing a group/entry. Other than that it looks nice, good work so far

I'm planning to implement such feature. (Also, give a possibility to mark as read "on server". sometimes is usefull, I think)
So, I think it will be available in the mid of the next week if you are interested.

Now for me the first priority is auto sync and sync of pictures, but after that I'll surely implement a widget (but, maybe in pro version).
What do you like to include in such widget? A list of articles (for selected feed, category) or texts?
Thank you both for the feedback!

Thank you for your job, it's a great lightweight app!
I use it as my everyday reader for 1 week, so far so good.
I'll wait for the auto sync but actually I don't really need it!
Thank you very much
Thank you very much for your response.
I'll try to make it even better!
Here is the new version with auto sync!
1.0.beta3 was not very stable.
So, check out quick fix!
1.0.rc1 is much more stable now.
Also, you can just download JustReader from Android Market!
Hi everybody!
I've just implemented downloading of the images (view images offline). Do you want to try it?
If so, check out this version!
It's not very stable, but you can try and write here what you think.
It can be switched on in account preferences screen.
Next things I would like to implement are:
- possibility to stop synchronization process
- show synchronization status in notification bar
hello!

Also, I'm planning to release paid market version and to cut a little bit free version, also I'll try to add advertisment on the main acitivity of the application.
Everyone here, If you want, you can send me emails or private messages and I'll send you unlock code.
So, come back here when pro version is out. First 100 will get unlock code.
Also, a big job must be done to make the release really stable.
Thank you all again!
What about Google Reader by Google?
What do you think about new Google Reader for Android released by Google?
Do you think they will implement full offline support?
Do you like this new app? Why?
Just downloaded market version, and a few quick thoughts (I'll have more later)
Sync settings:
Maximal age of the post should be Maximum
you list a bunch of numbers in that catergory. I'm assuming they are days, but weeks would also be a possibility. If you could put 1 (unit), 2 (unit), that'd be great.
Main feed page:
I use folders a LOT in google reader. Usually, I browse by the whole folder at once, rather than the individual source (example, I might have android police, Android Central, and XDA portal for android all in one folder). However, in this app, I can only view by individual feed. If you can place an option under the folder menu to view all at once, that'd be great! By this I mean, I might be viewing an Android central story, but the next story might be XDA portal.
Edit: Just found if you tap the numbers it does this. If you can make that a menu option, that'd be great. I only found it by accident.
Overall:
You have a setting for article screen theme. Any way you can make that universal throughout the app? I like black text on white. However, everything but the article is still white text on black.
Make it so that articles that are read in app are read everywhere.
That's all for now. Looks really good so far. Love the swipe to go to next page option. Google official reader needed that. For what I think of googles reader app, I really like it. Nice UI, but no offline caching.

Hi!
Thank you very much for some suggestions!
What do you mean by phrase on top of this post?
Statuses are saved to Google servers each time you synchronize account.
You mean "instantly"? Right when you are reading?

I think a widget would be a great idea. I see you are planning to add it in the future and you were asking what to be included. I think the best way to do the widget would be to display "all items" that would link to your app when clicked. I also would like to see a mark all as read on the widget too if that can be done.
I'll implement widget for sure, but a little bit later. Now the main priority is stability.
Now, you can try one more beta version:
better offline support
bugfixes
some synchronization performance improvements

All,
I realized after posting in the general app announcement thread that you/we Droid X users might want to be aware of this app written specifically for the Droid X (but might be useful to other phones too).
So, here's the link to the general app announcement thread and a brief summary of what this app is all about:
[App] BattMonX (Droid X Battery State Monitor via LED Status)
BattMonX is a utility for the Motorola Droid X to turn on the LED indicator light while the phone' screen is off to indicate its battery state: charged, discharging, or charged/full.
The Droid X does not currently indicate the battery charging state via the LED indicator light as other phones do.
This app is free in the Market. Search for "BattMonX".
This app is intended bridge that gap until such functionality is restored by VZW/Motorola.
QR code, screenshots, more details are in the link provided above.
Thanks and enjoy!
I missed this feature coming from my Blackberry thank you!

You are most welcome! Its been a fun project to work on. I hope to get the set-on-boot / run-on-boot thing figured-out soon. Stay tuned.
Coming from the HTC Droid Eris, I was used to this feature too.
There were lots of us on launch day that were posting as to whether anyone had a lit LED while the phone was being charged. I actually saw my LED light up (not through a text notification or anything) very briefly during the first OTA update we got, but never since then.
Anyway, glad to have finally learned enough Android programming to have made this feature available to folks. By the way, I've been keeping my discharging state LED color set to blue--looks cool .
Cheers!
nice idea but if you run a custom rom it usually adds this already without the need for another app. im running tranq and it has it

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't know this (I'm still running stock 2.2 (although rooted)).
The app development request came from someone running ApeX, so it must not be in that particular ROM yet.
I'm a little curious as to why VZW/Motorola didn't include this support natively...
Anyway, cheers!

v1.3 just uploaded: now supports set-on-boot option
Just a quick thread bump to let everyone know that I've updated the app to version 1.3 that now includes a set-on-boot / run-on-boot option.
Select this option via the menu (menu -> More -> Set on Boot -> select True or False).
Enjoy!
By the way, thanks for all of the great feedback and support from everyone--its made creating this app for everyone worthwhile. I very much appreciate it! Cheers!
version 1.4 of BattMonX just published
Version 1.4 of BattMonX has been uploaded to the Market.
Changes to this version include:
* Support of five new LED color codes (dark orange, orange, dark violet, dark green, deep sky blue)
* Support for low-battery condition indicator:
selectable low-battery percentage threshold (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%)
action to take when threshold is reached (none, LED on, LED blink)
LED color selection for low-battery condition (will take precedence over other battery states)
Hope you find this app and these changes useful. Thanks for all of the great feedback!
Cheers!
v1.6 just uploaded: now works w/SMS text notifications
All,
Just a quick thread-bump to let everyone know about the latest release of the app: version 1.6 now works with SMS text notifications!
So now, you should be able to run the app all of the time and still get notified when a text message comes in.
The timeliness of the seeing the SMS notification is still dependent on the polling interval you are using, but app steps aside when the SMS notification comes in and then resumes when its been acknowledged (by reading the text) or cleared (by the notification pull-down's Clear button).
Please note that the app doesn't actually control the color or blinking status of the SMS text notification, my app just allows it to come in and been seen--so I cannot change its color or behavior.
I also added the option / ability to make the LEDs blink (or stay on like before) for the charging / discharging / charged state like the functionality I added for the low-battery condition in v1.4.
Enjoy the app and its recent changes--I hope you find the app useful.
Also, I do very much appreciate everyone's feedback and support! Thank you!
v1.7 just uploaded to Market (very useful fixes and improvements)
version 1.7 changes include:
- added strategy to auto-recover from Android auto-killing the app's service; should make the app much more stable and without unwanted shutdowns
- replaced multiple menu settings w/standard Settings/Preferences menu item
- dynamically determine battery status directory (I did this to see if the app would work on more phones (with mixed success); should allow for users that don't see that the app was written for the Droid X to at least see if it will work on their phone (does not appear to work on a stock HTC Evo 4G, HTC Droid Eris))
- re-instituted screen lock to portrait mode to prevent orientation change from causing FCs
- fixed integer parsing issue causing some reported crashes (probably just experienced by non-Droid X phones)
- added option for 3 minute polling-interval
- added larger range for low-battery percentage threshold
- fixed issue where LED would not blink when charging
Anyway, if you have any issues, comments, questions, etc., please contact me at [email protected].
Cheers and have a great New Year!
v1.8 just published to the Market
All,
I've just published version 1.8 to the Market and updated the main thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859651) with information and screenshots... Lots of new features and improvements. Change log for 1.8 includes:
- supported new experimental features:
* ability to keep LED on while the screen is on (root only)
* support white LED color when used with the "LED is Always ON" experimental (root-only) feature/setting
- updated w/better strategy for dynamically locating battery state and LED notification files to TRY to support non-Motorola Droid phones
- added 'Suspend' feature to turn off LED and pause battery status monitoring until resumed (un-checked)
- added strategy to make app more timely/responsive to SMS text notifications and preference/setting changes
- fixed set-on-boot and charging-color preference mis-match and other minor preference/settings issues (this was causing a few folks issues...if you still have an issue, try an un-install and fresh re-install--this will clear-out the saved preferences)
- supported amber LED color in addition to the original red/green/blue LED colors (for phones that support an amber LED color)
Anyway, this version should be much more stable and responsive than the prior versions (although v1.7 was pretty solid, ).
Enjoy, and please visit https://sites.google.com/site/scaryalienware/battmonx for full details and screen shots. Shoot me an email at [email protected] for any issues, comments, questions, etc.
Cheers!
v2.2 uploaded to the Market
Uploaded version 2.2 of the app to the Market last night. Here's the highlights:
- added more strategies for making the app more responsive when screen off & unplugged (I implemented a partial wakelock for one minute after the screen is turned off and unplugged from power source)
- added 'Set LED Colors by Percent Charged' feature (i.e., you can assign a different color to each 10% range of battery percent-charged)
- added 'Rainbow Mode' (under Fun Stuff) to cycle through the various LED colors
- added 'Keep CPU On' feature to allow you keep the CPU awake/on when the screen is turned off (this is only true when monitoring is active);
*** Warning *** use of this option will consume more battery!
- added preset-color buttons to LED color tester (easier to test main colors)
Hope you enjoy this new version.
Cheers!
Notes re. other versions not previously listed:
- v1.9 was just a very minor update to not display percent signs in menu items that was causing FCs in some Milestone phones running non-stock ROMs
- v2.0 was the original release of what is now v2.2; I had to rescind v2.0 to fix a loop (and the FCs) caused when using the color none/off under certain circumstances
- v2.1 was a re-publish of v1.9 until I could fix the FC issue in v2.0
Thanks again!
v2.3 just uploaded to the Market
New version just published.
Here's the change log:
Version 2.3 - 14-Mar-2011:
- support option to display status bar notification icon with battery percent charged
- support option to turn off use of LED battery state indication
- more accurate app behavior for Moto Droid-class phones via 1% charge delta vs. original 10% delta
- support blink action for monitor-by-percent charged mode (screen off only)

Check it out and let me know what you think!
Cheers!

BattMonX v2.9 published to the Market
All,
Version 2.9 of BattMonX has been uploaded to the Market. This version includes code to auto-recognize the 1% charge_counter file used on many Motorola phones. It also addresses the product-name changes that CyanogenMod ROMs impose that kept prior versions of this app from recognizing a Moto Droid family phone and auto-identifying their battery status and LED notification files.
Donate version of this app will be uploaded shortly.
Cheers and thanks for everyone's support and kind feedback.
RECENT CHANGES

Version 2.8 - 13-Jun-2011:
- minor fixes to better support Moto Droid phones recent GingerBread 2.3 update:
* auto-recogize GB's different LED directory (w/o needing to manually locate files)

Version 2.7 - 22-May-2011:
- revised and improved service start/suspend/shutdown and notification clear handling

Thank you very much for the kind words!
You can still use the mode where it will just display a status bar icon with the current battery percentage (just turn off the LED notifications in the menu settings).
Cheers!

Description
- Speeding alerts

What data are those based on? There's no speed data available in Google Maps so you do need some source to determine the allowed speed, what is that source?
Currently, it is the simple user-defined threshold system that is also used by some HUD-style applications, but I'm trying to implement something smarter for later releases .
hm, too bad, makes it pretty much useless
We will see what I'll figure out - having database of speeds is impossible with my budget, but I have some ideas how to make it better. But I personally use the threshold system, and it is actually not bad and it saved me from some unmeant speeding situations. And do not forget, that car's speedometer shows about 5% lower speeds compared to reality, so you know by sound when you reached the actual speed.
where i live there's no general speed limit but limits are different all the time (30,50,60,70,80,90,100,110,120,130) so manual tresholds just won't do it :-(
Oh, I see :-(
Just a small update today. The speed alerts will be improved later.
Changelog
0.2:
- Market license support
Like the app, just what I need. After minor update the app freezes however.
In what situation?
No exception. The first version worked flawlessly. This version gets stuck as soon as you open it.
Is there a way to revert to the first version? That one worked.
HTC Incredible S. Standard OS Android 2.3.5
Oh, I see it. Will resolve it ASAP.
Got a solution! I will implement one little feature and publish the update later today. Thanks for reporting!
Hey OP...
Quick question...I purchased the app in the market and on my phone i opened the beta app and registered it, now my question is why does the app in my app drawer still say beta? Did I not register correctly? Please help
The app is still in beta stage, but your purchase authorized you to use the Pro features. As it makes it to final version, you will get all the new features with no extra charge .
The update is here!

0.3:
- Fixed performance issues
- Option to hide notification icon
App works again, performance issue fixed. Thank you for the swift response.
Found this app on the market and I have a question about the pro version. The main feature I like about pro is only showing the overlay when navigation is running. The only major problem is that it keeps the GPS active even if navigation isn't being used.
Are there any future plans for implementing a feature that will auto start this app when the navigation app is opened, along with closing it when navigation ends? This will prevent from having to manually open and close an additional app each time.

This is not easy to handle since Android does not tell you when app has been started. Only way I can think of is some service, but it might cause serious battery drain. But I can turn off the GPS if not visible. It might help.
I'd imagine, if it's possible it would only be for root users. I'm not a dev, just brainstorming really. The overlay looks great and it's 2nd to none right now.

Anyone have tried it?
It's not possible to search the app itself using the above link u have posted
I have changed the description. Now everything should be fine
It's very fast and very good
But can u add features like keeping some of the favorite apps as permanent in the app tray along with recent apps. If both the types of app is present then we can switch from any app to other app even if it's not in recent very easily, multitasking will improve very lot
Thanks. I will add this feature later along with a blacklist.
