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!

I am interested! Gonna try ASAP!

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!
I use this new release for 3 days and everything works like a charm on my hero!
once again, thank you for this app, better thn newsrob

Thank you for testing pre market releases!
This is new version with
- sync status in notification bar
- some improvements in sync process (speed, stability)
- possibility to stop sync process
Check it out!
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

1.0 version is out
Hi!
version 1.0 is on the market now.
you can update right from the market or from the top post.
And, there is a present for you.
PM or email me and I'll send you key app for removing ads in JustReader (I need your Google Reader account name for this)
Next things I would like to do: to implement better and more intuitive interface and to listen for your suggestions!
Thank you

Happy New Year to everybody!
JustReader 1.0.4 is out now (update from the market) .
ui improvements
full themes support
bugfixes
downloading of images is limited to 20 posts for free version
I would like to thank you for using JustReader and make a little present - JustReader pro.
Send me PMs with your google reader account name (usually your gmail) and I'll send you pro version for your account.

Hi everybody!
New version is out.
changes are:
-present version works fully like pro version
-reading position shows on the Post Activity
-link to open browser (possibility to open browser without using menu)
-bugfixes
Also, there are some special offers.
If you would like to translate JustReader to your native language, I'll be very happy and you'll get present version of JustReader Pro for your work (or maybe two or three versions for your friends)
If you like the app and want to get free pro version you can make a post in your blog about our application, what you like and what you don't, with links to xda and homepage.

In one app, you get:
- Choose pictures from gallery, camera or link to Facebook friends using their HD profile pictures
- Choose Videos from your gallery to use as full screen caller ID
- Apply pictures to contacts directly from your gallery, with the android "share" function. Just choose "Add to UCS"!
- Answer calls with buttons, sliding buttons, rotary buttons, swipe gestures... You choose!
- Configure your phone to hangup calls, put on speaker or mute ringer simply by turning the phone screen-down!
- Swipe gestures (reject and answer calls, reject with sms, reply to sms, ...)
- Fully featured Call blocker
- Fullscreen SMS receiver
- Fullscreen Missed Calls Notifications, with dismiss, callback and answer functions, and configurable swipe gestures
- Complete theme support for both call and SMS screens, personalizable per contact
- Picture syncing of HD pictures to phone internal contacts
- Privacy Screen: hide incoming call and SMS details from prying eyes until it's safe to pick-up/read
Advanced Features:
- Use your current android contact picture as fullscreen caller ID (Licensed only!)
- Selectively enable only for outgoing/incoming calls
- Sync your android contact database to use your UCS-defined callscreen HD pictures, or batch-upload a set of pictures from your sdcard
- Hide parts of the call screen for cleaner interface.
- Option to make incoming SMS show above lockscreen, including turning the screen on
- Missed calls viewer
- You can ALWAYS go back to the default phone interface during a call, simply by pressing the phone "Back" while on a call
- Much MUCH more! Take a look through the available settings!
Getting Started and Important Notes
- To use the dialpad and other in-call functions, press the "Back" button on a call to bring up the default phone interface! Due to security restrictions imposed by Google, it's impossible for me to provide a working dialer during an ongoing non-VoIP call.
- In version V5.0.0 and upwards, the model of the free version changed due to userbase request. Almost all functions are available, but there is a personalizable contact limit.

Theming guide
This is a tutorial on how to build themes for UCS. You will need the Android SDK and Eclipse installed and setup.
I provide an Eclipse project which you can use as base and example to give you a quick startup. Note that there are other ways to do this without eclipse, but I won't get into that. But it is not enough to open the apk and just drop images into there (unless you decompile it, recompile it, and sign it). Well, at least not enough to use the full power of the theming engine: you won't be able to change text size, element position, and other stuff without recompiling.
Take the attached eclipse project and import it. (please don't ask how to do this, there are numerous tutorials on how to setup eclipse/android SDK, and that is not the purpose of this post/thread).
Template Eclipse Project: View attachment UCS_Template_Theme.1.0.0.tar.gz
Alternatively, here is the compiled apk from the project above: View attachment UCS_Template_Theme.1.0.0.apk
The apk is useful if you just want to change some images, and also if you use some of the toolkits around here in xda to decompile/compile apks. In fact, you don't actually need Eclipse to completely change the template: use something like ApkManager, and just decompile the apk.
The theming does not involve java programming, that's why it works so nice with a decompiler: no smali editing. All you need for theming is replacing drawables, and editing xml files.
When starting, take a look at the files in:
res/drawables/
res/values/
The xml files in the drawables folder point to the actual images in /res/drawable-hdpi, and those are what you want to change
The xml files in res/values control everything from text color to element placing. Take special attention to integers.xml, I inserted comments on it to make clearer what every key does.
Play around with this, run it with the "run as android application" command with your phone connected to your PC if you're using Eclipse. Getting the offsets just the way you wanto to can be tricky.
When you're done, just export as signed application and share it here if you feel like it!
Cheers

As always....brilliant.....

Great work like ever, tried it on latest reaper and it will become my default call screen

Great work lowveld! Using it on reaper now, but just to clarify, if i want to turn on speaker and so on I have to go back to the default one?
I don't know how you do it, you're way to talented dude
Cheers!

Yep, I believe that you must hit the back button to return to normal dialer and then enable speaker from there.

Great. Will check it on my sgsii und give you feedback

earlier failure to post was obviously a tapatalk (xda app) issue. Already loving this application....
Is it too early for future functionality requests?
Please incorporate a backup and restore option, so that the custom linkages and pictures can be saved across ROMs. In the meantime how can I manually backup these, will titanium do? or is there an SD card directory?

You can safely backup with titanium and restore to the same rom with no issues. Across roms you can't do that, because the internal android contact database changes.
Its never too early for requests, ill try to figure out a way around this!

One thing i would like to see on ucs is the ability to rotate the pictures, if I'm allowed to make a feature request.
I came across this, because i have a picture i rotated myself at the gallery, but if i import it to ucs it isn't rotated, i know it can easily be solved with another app, but it would be nice if ucs takes to rotation from gallery or if i would be able to rotate it myself.

Ben, let me rephrase my earlier answer: if you use titanium to restore both the contacts database and UCS, when restoring both to another rom all should be ok with UCS internal contact mapping. But you know how I feel about restoring system data across roms, so I'll try to come up with a better solution.

Hey mate!
Well, I will surely look into this. Plus, your request lead me to identify the first bug in ICS, and I just uploaded version V1.0.1 because of you, so thanks for that! (the bug was that if you tried using the image editor/cropper on landscape mode, it would FC on saving the image).
But I got a bit confused about your "maybe to crop them" part of the request. Currently you can zoom in and out of any picture, move it around, and when saving, UCS will crop the image to what is showing on the screen (minus the buttons of course). You can use either the in-screen zoom buttons, or regular multi-touch (pinch to zoom), and simple dragging to move the picture around.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough about this before...
Cheers

Excellent, a new version
In response to the rotate request, it's +1 that world be really useful
Crop not needed, as you said already multi touch, although it would be good if when you're on the resize image screen, if there were lines at the top and bottom of the screen indicating the size that the image has to be stretched to, as I like the top and bottom that show the calling number and buttons not to also have the image behind (hope that makes sense).

backup/restore question
Does the UCS app make and store a copy of the edited pictures or simply keep a link to the original pictures?
As, I've created a new directory on my sd card simply for my UCS pictures, so could any backup function you create simply map the existing contacts to their UCS contact picture file path, it would be incredible if it would also remember the sizing settings for each image.

Hey,
Yeah, I think I got what you meant. Showing guidelines to tell the user where the caller ID interface elements will actually show would be possible, I guess. But it would be a pain for you to align the picture. Actually I never thought that it could be used that way (with black headers and footers instead of fullscreen pic).
Anyway, what about a compromise meanwhile: I give the option to instead of those semi-transparent rectangles that show beneath the buttons and contact numbers/names, paint it black. What do you think? The end result will be what you want, I guess, but you should scale the images to fullscreen, and sort of guess where the black will be.
The reason I'm reluctant to add guidelines or whatever to the cropper, is because I'm trying to figure out a way to let the user change the position of those elements on the call screen, and it would become inconsistent on that case. Ok, I'm rambling now...
Cheers

UCS saves the final cropped image you assign to a contact, and that's the one that will be used from there on. You can even delete the original, no harm done.
There's no need for you to create another backup dir on the sdcard: the saved files are on the app own directory, and will be saved by Titanium backup. If you still want to keep sort of a catalog of what you use, so clean installs of UCS on other roms go faster, just copy the .jpg files from /data/data/com.lowveld.ucs/files
Mapping the picture to contacts is a different matter, and the main difficulty regarding a save/restore functionality. I'll have to really think hard on how to achieve this...
Cheers, and thanks for the input!

On thinking about it, forget about guidelines, just don't make the backgrounds at the top and bottom of the screen semi transparent, if possible make this colour/transparency configurable through options? I'd prefer none so you gave full screen pictures, with number and buttons simply overlaid, you could even have the colour of the text of the calling number configurable
Last request for today, promise, night

[APP] [GB][ICS][JB] High Resolution Google Contacts Photos (in stock contacts app)

Native Google contacts app uses a strangely lower resolution (96x96px).
This was normal in the firsts Android versions.
The new phones includes a large amount of memory and a large screens, and also, the new Android version (Ice Cream Sandwitch) predisposes to a better user experience.
But, by default, the contact photos stored in Android 4.0 uses the older resolution (96x96px), and the photo contacts appears pixelated.
With this app you can make a bulk update of your contact photos to a increased resolution (256x256px) that's shows much better in your new devices.
Also, in older devices, that aren't running ICS, the app allows to make a bulk photo contacts update and increase the resolution to the device max supported size.
Finally, if you have rooted your device, you can increase the size of the contact photos to 400x400px (or more). That sounds good in devices with a large screen, like Galaxy Note.
Instructions
1) Place the desired contact photos (in PNG or JPG format) in a folder of your sdcard. I recommend to use square photos.
2) Open the app
3) Click settings and configure the sources folder to the stored photos folder
4) Go main window in the app
5) Select the photos that you want to update
6) Click the update photos button (the photos was automatically resized to the max resolution supported by the device).
* If you want to use photos greater than the maximum supported device size, you need to be rooted. If you're rooted, go
settings, check the "Use HD photos" checkbox then apply the desired photos.
Please, if you have troubles or issues, contact with the developers via email or at the XDA thread.
Requirements
For real HD photos you need to be rooted and, in stock ROMs, you need to install busybox (available in Play Store).

Known problems
In Gingerbread devices the HD real photos (bigger than 256x256px) isn't supported

Weird Google hasn't come with an update on this low res problem. It's been known for years. Now even with HD screen resolutions Google doesn't fix this :-(
I use a similar solution to yours. I use the internal Phone book in my Galaxy S2 to create duplicate contacts with only a single high res image. After this I merge the contacts using settings with my GMail contacts, setting the high res picture as default profile.
This causes two problems though. One, it doesn't change anything on my Google contacts so it only works on my phone. Second, you have to apply this trick every time you get a new phone.
Would be nice if your application could do something similar but with some sort of simple import/export function. But I'm afraid that's not that simple, right?

I love the idea, but get "At least one of the selected photos can't be applied" when trying to apply. Image is 300px in height, named the same as the contact and in .png format.
Am I doing something obviously wrong?

your're right.
the operation only works in the phone.
the contact photo in google servers are unchanged,
but the (phone) photo was no changed when you sync, only if you wipe the data in the device.

you have a log file in /sdcard/
open and find a contact with error code different from zero.
if the error is due to a contact picture had not previously assigned, the error will be corrected in the next version.
also, appreciate a logcat

Had a quick peek at the log file, says "-4"

hi,
the filename (without the extension) of any photo is the display name for two or more contacts (correct me if I wrong)

You are quite correct, it was a contact that had been joined - tried it on an un-joined contact and it worked like a charm!
Thanks for a good app and great help.

have you stored png's in the selected folder?

Love the idea.
But the app FC's every time i try to apply pictures...
i'm on SG Note, rom Stunner 1.4.26.1 (android 4.0.4), pictures stored as png's, appropriate folder setup in settings. does that irrespective of whether i apply a batch or single contact.
