[Q] News/RSS Widgets

I am looking for a full screen news/rss widget. I have searched google and xda and nothing.
Any suggestions is much appreciated.
Edit: Please move to General Aria discussion.

you can try Instant news for google. i havnt tried it myself, but it seems to have what youre looking for. or you can search the Market or Androlib.com for whatever you want

Just either use the default news widget if your using sense. You can add custom rss feeds etc and its full screen

Customizable Folder Widget

Hey all, I've been trying to find an app/widget similar to the native android folder widget where you can drag and drop icons into the folder...but I want to use custom icons for those folders. All the apps I've come across do not have the drag and drop functionality.
Thank you for the input!

Try Simi Folder. It's fantastic.

its features are still being extended. So just go over to thread and make a request for the drag and drop functionality. The dev is pretty open minded about requests and suggestions. he's already implemented alot of users' ideas in no time

[Q] How to get XDA threads on Android widget?

Hi guys,
Just wondering if theres an app i can get to see a live feed (like RSS) on a widget, but i only want individual threads... not just a XDA RSS feed... if you know what i mean
I just want to be able to see whats up in LeeDroid and iNsertCoin threads without going to the XDA app (which i do have the premium version) but i thought a widget would be cool. Like plume i guess

For what I know (which isn't that much), for that you need to have root on your phone and use adb commands or an app like Titanium Backup or other, but unless your phone is s-off, you can only have temp root at the moment, on a reboot you will loose root privileges and everything would be installed back again...
So, if you don't have s-off, you'll have to wait...

go to the dev forum & look for the fr3vo temp-root post & the post about how to disable apps.

Thanks for your replies...
I know that i need a root... Hence me saying at the start of my OP after I've rooted using Eugenes perma temp root...
I know how to delete apps and I know I need a root to do so, I just want to make sure the apps I've listed are ok to delete?

You didn't pay attention to the second part of xnifex's post, which mentioned to go to the dev section and look at the post about how to disable apps.
There is a running list in the second post of which apps people have found safe to disable.

Ok. I shall do this.
Thank-a-gen

All u have to do is temp root and download root explorer. Go to system/apps and delete whatever apks u don't want. Use task killer clear sense launcher and apps will be gone.

On my LQ2 ICS UK Carphonewarehouse O2 Note there is a preinstalled photo slide show widget called "Photo frame". Just select more than 1 pic to be displayed and it transitions between them at good res etc.

Yeah it comes with the note gallery app. It's good but it's only limited to 100 photos.
Various Photo widget is good too. Nice resolution and I think unlimited photos (I have 400+ in a folder) but it gets stuck a lot of times and u have to re- set it.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

i use "turtle photoframe". Its a great slideshow widget.

Just install ICS gallery from google play. Its free and works even on GB rom.
