RSS Reader / Google Sync

Hi
does anyone know of a RSS Reader that would sync with Google Reader? I've tried SpeedReader but it hangs a lot and doesn't work for me on a Touch HD
thanks
D

sorry, didnt search properly, I'll delete thread when i find out how!

Could you tell us what you found?
I only know Kinoma and Speeed Reader, but both aren't that great.

just installing pRSS Reader http://code.google.com/p/prssr/ and ViiGo http://viigo.com/download will let you know how they go

SBSH GoNews can do that and it is also very finger friendly. If you register at their forums, you can get 30 % off the price.

great, SBSH GoNews looks brilliant and just what i wanted. Just trying it out though and no matter what i do (and i have verified all the settings) will it sync with reader, its just not working (other examples on the forums) so I'm hoping to get access to a beta they have of 1.2

pRSS didnt do it for me, all feeds (from different folders in google reader) end out in one big list although technically it worked very well although i think it only sync's one way (read on pRSS didn't mark google reader as read)
ViiGo looks good but i wanted a 'lighter' app without all the bolt on's so thats gone
Holding out for the beta release of SBSH Touch as it looks perfect for what I want, just can't work out why it wouldn't work!

You need to create a folder in Google Reader for GoNews sync, and then add name of this folder to sync settings in GoNews. If a "Google Reader" category in GoNews is not created automatically, you can add it manually to your category list and then synchronize it. Channels will be created from the Google Reader folder selected for syncing.
They promise faster download speeds in 1.2. I hope that multiple Google Reader folder syncing can be added as well.

Hi
thanks for the tip but I had already tried that and it didnt work. Just waiting for the beta still ...

fyi there is a new version of speeedreader out next wednesday. It is much much improved so therefore your wait may be over soon!

wanted to second that. The author of speeed reader is getting ready to put out a 1.0 code of his software, and it works quite well on an HTC Whitestone and WM6.5

MSN Weather Widget

Does anyone have a copy of the latest version of the MSN Weather widget in .widget, .wgt, or .cab format?
Before you jump down my throat and tell me to use the Search function... I have searched for hours and have come up empty handed. I have found many of the earlier versions, but none after version 1.1. The newest versions work with touch scrolling and have different features than the early versions.
I'm using a ROM that doesn't have it natively so I wanted to install it indepentantly. I like it better than any commercial or free weather app out there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Moved as not software release.

That's actually the one I have been using. It doesn't support finger scrolling.

I have been looking for this too. It is on the Marketplace website but you have to download it via the Marketplace app. I tried this but it does not show up via the app!
I suspect this is a regional limitation or something. Perhaps somebody else will have more success and post a cab for us?
Thanks.

Do you have a numerical version of the widget that you are looking for? (not just "higher than 1.1")

I was able to find it on the WM Marketplace. The latest version is 1.7. I couldn't find it using the Markeplace application on my phone, but I got it by going HERE. I had to "purchase" it there (it's free btw) then log into my phone's Marketplace app to actually download it.
Even though it's directly from the Marketplace, it does not have the finger scrolling feature that I'm looking for. I was using JJBlaster's ROMs on my old Kaiser and the MSN Weather widget he included was able to scroll up and down using your finger.
Could someone else download it and put the version 1.7 widget in a CAB package? It's way easier to include a CAB in a new ROM flash's UC than to jump through all the hoops Marketplace makes you go through to get it. And also, could somebody somehow enable finger scrolling? I'm not sure how to do any of that.

Alright so I figured out that the reason my finger scrolling wasn't working had something to do with the Add Widgets or Enable Widgets cabs I had installed. I reflashed my ROM and did not install either cab, then installed the weather widget through the Marketplace and now finger scrolling now works with the latest widget. Next all I'd ask is for someone to put the MSN Weather widget from the marketplace into a cab so I can use it without the marketplace.

Bump.
Anyone know how to make a CAB out of the Windows Marketplace MSN Weather widget? How about from the attached widget file?

This seems newer
I'm not sure, but this seems a newer CAB and it worked great for me on 1.43 - am about to reinstall on 1.66 (VF UK)

OK.... idiot mode off
Having resisted posting here for years because I hate the 'stupid' posts and feared the vitriolic reaction once I made one, I have just managed to make myslef the target for a typically acerbic post pointing out that I have been a dumbass and missed out the "%" in the %20 part of a filename.
It appears I have uploaded the same version you already have access to.
Apologies.
(please don't hurl too much abuse this way people!)

Thank you

HTC Sense Stock app/widget?

Hi all,
When I was using Android 1.5, I used to use the HTC Stock app and widget a lot. But since moving to 2.1 a week ago, I have not yet been able to find a replacement I tried few apps from the market but nothing feels quite right. Why isn't the HTC Stock app in the 2.1 Sense roms anyway?
So does anyone know whether I can get the HTC Stock app and widget back? Perhaps from an APK.
Alternatively, can anyone recommend a widget from the Market (free or paid) that I can have lots of shares displayed at once?
Thanks.

The stock app is included in 2.1 as long as you're running a Sense rom. If it's not there the developer probably just removed it from the rom to save space. I can't help you out with the APK but it shouldn't be too hard to find on here.

Ah I see! I'll ask the developers. Thanks.

So, have you found it? I'd like to try it too, if you have.

Unfortunately not!
I've been googling up and down and searching on here, Modaco, Vaillain, etc, but still haven't found it.

A bit off topic of the original post...but the thread title works and I didn't think a whole new thread was necessary.
So here's my question;
Is anyone else experiencing problems with the HTC Sense Stocks application in that the 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, and 2Y graphs are not showing the correct data. Only the 1D and 5D charts work.
I'm not sure at what point this problem occurred...cause I know it use to work. Just curious whether it was something I did to my device (flashing a custom ROM), or whether others are seeing the same problem...in which case this would suggest there is something wrong with the servers from which the application downloads the charts from.

Yes, I'm seeing the same problem. I haven't done anything to my phone yet, so I doubt it's a problem with the phone...

If you tell me where the app is ill gladly upload it

Hi,
a few weeks ago, i changed from WinMo to Android. Now I am a proud owner of a galaxy...
Unfortunatly, the galaxy comes without sense. So I am missing the Stocks widget, too. The good thing on that app is that it uses yahoo! finance as data source. Yahoo! finance offers more markets than Google Finance does. Yahoo Finance has an app for Android. But if I am looking for it in the market, it's not available. But it's available on appbrain...
Here is the link: http://www.appbrain.com/app/yahoo-finance/com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.finance
And this is the link for Yahoo! Finance for Android: http://mobile.yahoo.com/finance/android
I would be glad, if someone get's this to work and could upload the *.apk

Excuse my poor English

I also could not find Yahoo Finance in the market.
I managed to install Yahoo Fianance from the following link:
http://www.getjar.com/mobile/36281/yahoo!-finance-for-htc-hero/
However, when I opened the app, it just open up the browser linking to mobile yahoo finance site.
Not too sure how to get it working properly as an app.

hi.
get "market enabler", fake a provider in the u.s. and you'll find yahoo finance in the market.
as an alternative i can recommend "stock watcher". has a great ui and offers some widgets.
have fun!

Question About MyShelf on TMOUS USA Sensation?

So I have a question about the MyShelf Widget? My question has sort of been mentioned:
Refer to link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119340
This individual has made mention the reader app is not present. That question is addressed. What I was wondering is this...
1. I got my new phone pulled out the 8GB card and replaced it with a 16GB from my Desire HD. I never checked to see if the MyShelf widget worked without the reader app. I am guessing it may not huh? But here it is. I go to apply the widget and it says no books found once the widget is applied. I know how to fix this once we have root, but is there a way to get it to detect the books as they are on my new SDHC 16GB card. Any help in this would be appreciated as I liked reading them in my spare time. Thanks in advance to whoever may help out with this!
Cheers,
Shokouhi

Did you put books on your card? You need the reader to actually see them with that widget.

Thanks this is what I was also thinking. I thought there was a way to get it without the reader app. WTF? Why would TMOUS include the Widget and not the reader you know? Yeah this is a small reason as why our forum is great. Things like this don't happen with the good roms. Bad oversight on the part of TMOUS.

[Q] JetCet Print

Hi,
Westtek who make Jetcet Print does not show it as an application for android, but the HTC sensation my wife has, it comes with. It works well on her HTC so is it possible for someone to extract and share the app from the HTC sensation, and if so would it work on any android mobile as i want to install on mine.
Thanks
Brian
