I've published yesterday [23 nov. 2010] the first version of a scrollable news widget. This is my first attempt at android development.
I've tested the widget against Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher quickly and quite extensively with Zeam. It still needs some work (amonst other things: theming, feed validation, feed lookup, ...) but it is still usable -- meaning i use it.
Since version 1.4.0 GReader and news sharing are supported through Scrollable News Addons (paid app).
The addon has been unpublished as it won't be maintained anymore. Its features will in time be integrated into the main app.

Loaded it in the market but wasn't able to launch the widget or to use the configuration menu. It only shows a grey screen, although Menu button works in config mode..
I have a Desire rooted with miui rom 0.11.12
Doesn't work neither with Launcher Pro nor with the DEll Launcher..

Hi Berliner,
Thanks for testing this widget. That's weird. I got a few comments in the market console that report a similar behaviour. However i'm not able to reproduce it. The grey background may indicate either that the widget feeds cannot be parsed or that scrollable widgets are not enabled.
I use android-rome-rss the fetch the feeds. Perhaps there is something to dig there? What feed(s) did you specify?

Just tested on N1,ADW...works fine.
Needs a rss search of course...
But very nice, even like the widget
But I already use "AtomaRSS" which got a wonderful customization option...

Hi Rori,
Indeed AtomaRss is very similar, feature-wise. I discovered it yesterday when i opened this thread because xda suggested a list of related messages. Since choice is always good, i will maintain and try and improve this widget.
Anyway, thanks for trying out the widget. Truth is i'm a bit lost here: i don't understand why it works like a charm for some people and doesn't even load for others (as is the case for berliner). I get the same mixed messages in the comments and ratings. I still don't know how i can pinpoint the actual issues.

hey mate, awesome app, would be good if it gave a list (or used default browser) to view 'full' article - in my case the in built one doesn't seem to work, but that might just be a problem at my end.
Also maybe the option to have a limited number of words in the content area, eg. instead of having the full story have like say justa set number defined in the settings, eg. 15, 25, 50, 0(all)?
Other then that, I love the look, can basically blend in with any theme

Looks awesome, matching very well with the launcherpro widgets
Unfortunately it won't work on my i9000 either. The widget is there but no feeds will display (i tried the default feed + one other).

Hi,
short hint from widget dev to widget dev:
You should add the following code to your "receiver"-tags in the AndroidManifest.xml to allow ADW to automatically turn on the scrollable widget setting!
Code:
<meta-data android:name="LauncherMetadata.Requirements.Scrollable"
android:value="true" />

Looks lovely on my DHD, nice work

Hi all,
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I hope i can solve the no-loading issue thanks to boombuller's advice. However what worries me is that i tested it successfully with the free version of LauncherPro (pretty quickly though). Anyway i'll add that to the next version -- hopefully pretty soon.

Hi Dodgylegs,
Thanks for your feedback, however i desperately need further intel to try and understand what's going on. Thus i have a silly question, since this works well for me. You use LP and did make sure scrollable widgets are activated, right?
The trick Boombuller provided works well with ADW (scrollable widgets get automatically activated), but not for LP. I have not yet published the new version though.

I like the look of this!
Any chance it can hook into your Google Reader subscriptions...?

Thanks for the app. Looks great, works great.
+1 for the suggested integration with google reader

Hey Champ
Yeah, using LPP. I put in a feed link, say http://www.androidcentral.com/feed and save - then - I get no feeds in the widget, just the title Latest News
My bad.... solved with the right link! Apologies. Great Widget!

I'm glad you worked things out. Feed/URL validation is indeed a critical feature that is missing. It is planned for a coming version. I begin to think that I should assign a higher priority to it because i'm wondering if invalid feed urls are not the cause of all the "grey widget issue" reports. Thanks for telling me this.

Initially i didn't plan to integrate Google Reader (i actually planned not to). But this could certainly be done and i'll consider it. However please note this is not on top of the todo list.

You should set up a paid version that does have google reader integration. I'd certainly purchase it and I'm sure many others as well.

I'm using LPP and can't get any feeds to show up. Even the default Reuters feed that came with the app fails to load any feeds so I don't think that it is a url issue. If there is a way for me to get you any usable info off of my phone please let me know.

Loving this - thanks for all your hard work. I've been wanting something like this for ages!

Finally a cool news widget...great job!

Widget would be great too. I have been looking for a good google reader widget for a long time.

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

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

[APP][4.0+] 500 Firepaper v3.00

500 Firepaper provides a live wallpaper and a daydream showing you the latest images from /r/EarthPorn throughout the day.
You never need to look at that boring old wallpaper again, or search for hours for a nice new one. This app will show you quality photographs from all over the world - different ones each day!
NOTICE: This app switched from using the 500px API to showing images from Reddit's /r/EarthPorn sub, as 500px is shutting down their API. Please read the statement on my G+ page - https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/W52tb4kp8zN
Configurable options include the refresh interval, brightness of the images, oversaturation, and blurring.
Please note that high resolution imagery and animation takes quite a bit of memory, so obviously this app is aimed at high-end devices.
If you are a Muzei user, 500 Firepaper also presents itself as an art source to Muzei.
FAQ
What does buying Pro get me?
I've already made all the features available to you for free. Supporting my developments is optional, but certainly appreciated.
Why is there no save feature ?
Not allowed per API terms
Three finger tap to go to the next image doesn't seem to work, what now ?
On some devices (like the HTC One) you need to put down your fingers one-by-one.
Why does this use so much RAM ?
High-resolution imagery takes a lot of memory in uncompressed form, and multiple buffers are required. But fear not, should your device need the memory while the wallpaper/daydream is not visible, the memory occupied by the app will automagically be released and repurposed.
Can the cached images be put somewhere else, like on my sd card ?
No, they cannot.
Do you want a balloon ?
No, but thanks for asking.
Notices
This application uses the Reddit(tm) API and is not endorsed or certified by Reddit or Reddit Inc. All images (c) their respective owners.
No personal or private information about you or your device is collected or transmitted by this app.

Why ? (you can skip this if not interested)
So this really isn't anything special and probably nobody cares about it. But here it is anyway.
I actually started writing something a little bit like this years ago (which was called Firepaper) which had loads of advanced options, but due to Android 2.x and the constant fighting with memory limitations, I never released anything. Then past February I thought about doing something with 500px, and wrote a lot of the code, but for some reason never finished it. This weekend I had some time to spare and didn't feel like working on any of my usual apps, and I was annoyed with the Nexus 5 wallpaper, so I finished this up (this is something I actually want for my own phone).
There's other live wallpapers and daydreams that do similar things. But due to the nature of background syncing, caching and transferring images I didn't really feel like trusting somebody else to get that right, and not drain my battery when I need it most or rake up the data charges. Not that I'm convinced I did it right, but it works for me so far

Nice work!
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

It crashd on first run
Anyway,after that working well
i9300 - Android 4.3 last stock rom

It also crashed on me immediately. It has worked flawlessly after that

Nice work Chainfire, needed also a new wallpaper on my Nexus 5
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5

Thanks guys. Thanks for the crash reports also. Seems live wallpapers and daydreams are handled slightly different across devices and I mostly tested on Nexus 5 and Nexus 10.
I've already fixed a couple of crashes, and some trouble with daydreams specifically on S4/Note3. Play should update in a few hours.
Keep the crash reports coming, and don't forget to mention such details as your exact device and Android version, and if possible provide a logcat.

Works very well on the N5, the 3 fingered system works a treat :angel:
Thanks once again for yet another great app, something the nexus 5 definitely needed.

Installed on N5 & N7 2013, and for now, works like a charm Thank you.

Great app, uses quite the amount of memory though (up to 102MB now) on the N10. Also annoying that even with a static live wallpaper like this, the scrolling still becomes choppy on the N10...

Exactly what I wanted! There used to be an app on the market with changed the wallpaper periodically from images from 500px, but it stopped working a long time ago Now this is even better Btw, working fine on official Xperia Z Ultra

App works flawlessly on Xperia z1 aswell. This app is really neat.
I got feature request but i'm not sure if its even possible to create. Do you think it would be possible to make the live wallpaper set the picture its currently displaying as the lockscreen wallpaper aswell? Would be neat to have the same wallpaper on my lockscreen aswell. :laugh:
Anyway Chainfire great work as allways, Keep up the great work!

That sort of memory use is to be expected when working with high resolution imagery (and Java, heh). It shouldn't become much more than that though.
I don't really see it being choppy on my N10 but my homescreen is pretty much completely empty. The N10 isn't that fast graphics wise due to it's ridiculous resolution, and unfortunately live wallpaper drawing are not hardware accelerated unless OpenGL is used, which is a whole other world of hurt waiting to happen (development wise) and quite overkill for this purpose.
Maybe I should make an option to disable the parallax in the stock launcher, that should speed it all up a bit.

That's up to the lockscreen, I'm not going to implement anything specifically for that. On Android 4.4, the lockscreen actually shows you the LWP as well.

I think parallax effect not working but well pics are awesome... thnx :good:
LG Optimus G Pro E988
stock LG (rooted) ROM 4.1.2
Any feedback about battery consumption... since i have a travelling job i stay away from the charging point have to look at battery consuption
Edit: I don't know why but wallpaper changes with every auto rotation + in landscape mode size of wallpaper doesn't fit full screen. There is a black strip in the left (actually upperside) and right (lowerside) of display ...

Parallax effect not working on N9005 and why when I exit the setting after pressing the shorcut to setting, it will not get back to the app?

works prefect in Samsung galaxy S4 mini.... except from the first crash. Thanks a lot for your whole work!

It works flawlessly without any crash on Galaxy Note II, Android 4.3 (Touchwith). Great work as always Chainfire. :good:

Thought I'd update this page to share my work inspired by android custom roms
Before you start yelling at me, please read the first paragraph. This isn't a port, and it isn't based on Android source at all. Think of it as an android launcher but uses the PSP SDK's code. It will not and never allow you to run android apps.

Ok, this is pretty amazing. The default PSP UI is rather limited even with CFW. I played around a little in 2012 with writing PSP applications, but I can't even contemplate building a complete overhaul for the XMB. I have to replace my batteries for my PSPs this month, but once they come in I'll give this a try.

Looks pretty good! A few years ago I got a Windows XP gui on my PSP and of course, it was absolute ****. I might break out the old PSP to give this a try soon!

Awesome!
I didn't even know that the PSP is able to handle different launchers nor that something like this even exists!
Really great work, i'll give it a try later as im on the hop right now

@Joel16 Good work bro I will ask my friend to try this out after exams get over. keep it up .

Awesome work man !
Even if i don't use PSP anymore porting all these stuff and bring this Material style also for the Playstation is very cool

Ah, man! I just got rid of my PSP a couple months ago because it was collecting dust Would have loved to try this. Ah, well. Keep up the great work!

Does it run on all PSPs, and even running on pre-loaded CFW, namely PRO and ME ?

Awesome work mate. I was also thinking, this would be sweet on the p.s. vita as well, which has a touch screen. I know it's much harder, but if you wish, you could think about it. Cheers.

wow this is just amazing. dont have the psp anymore sadly. would have tested it if i still had it...... didn't even heard about this until i saw a post on facebook on the XDA page. Great work mate! i am out of thanks.... lol

Haha didn't see this coming, thanks for all your support guys. Really helps in keeping the project going
Edit: BTW this also runs on PPSSPP

Yes it does, in the video it's being tested on PRO. It should run on a PS Vita's eCFW as well. Just remember even though its marked as stable doesn't mean it offers everything. I've named it stable because all the features I've provided work as they should. (Except for OTA's cause my server's down) so yeah, if there is something you can't click on, or just won't open its simply because it hasn't been properly implemented yet What's on the working list is definitely working though.

Sorry but as of now its not possible haha. You can use it on a PSvita (using its PSP emulator) but touchscreen won't work. The PS vita doesn't have any 'native' homebrews as of yet, and without an SDK its almost impossible

[APP][4.1+] Kiwi Browser? Chromium + Adblock + CAF + Night Mode 2021-07-29|Active

Hi,
*** Join the Kiwi development Discord @ https://discord.gg/XyMppQq ***
I've been an official developer on the Chromium project and WebKit in 2007 and 2008 (paid by Google as part of Google Summer of Code).
Since the feedback has been positive, I'd like to interact with the XDA community to get feedback, ideas, or just give help.
I'm a big fan of CAF Browsers, but unfortunately, they are not updated anymore and this is one of the biggest reason I've started the work.
This is *not* a variant of an existing project. The codebase varies significantly but it's conceptually inspired by CAF.
The browser is still very much work-in-progress, so I really appreciate feedback and ideas. I'm working 4 hours per day on the browser and I use it myself every day so decent stability is expected.
This is a hobby project, and I'm looking for feedback here, so I'm cool with any kind of critics.
I can only answer outside of daytime (Europe timezone) as I have to work during the day to buy food for my cats.

Kiwi Browser
What is Kiwi Browser ?
- Kiwi Browser is a Chromium Canary that includes performance improvements and adblock.
- What's this browser for ?
Imagine a grumpy grand-pa, and that's how the browser should be. The browser should be forgotten and not go in your way.
No flashing stuff, no annoyances, Fast & Quiet.
If you want to add a search engine, just go on the search engine website, then the search engine will appear by itself in settings.
Features:
* Support for Chrome Extensions
* Speed improvements
I've added lot of crazy hacks inside WebKit (Blink) to get it running faster.
* Night mode
* Move address bar to the bottom
* Cookie acceptance
Automatically accepts lots of "Please this is GDPR, and cookie, and blablabla" messages.
It's not perfect yet, as many websites have added GDPR messages lately.
* Notifications blocker
Blocks notifications.
* Cryptojacking blocker
Saving battery and prevents phone from heating.
Try it on http://www.coinhive.com (you can re-enable cryptomining in chrome://flags if you really like it for some reason )
* Extensions support
Supports real Google Chrome extensions.
* Popup-blocker
This is not the usual popup blocker, there is an heuristic inside to browser to determine whether the new window should be opened or not.
* Adblock & Tracking protection
The browser offers much better privacy protection than Chrome and Brave. It blocks also lot of ads. Not really because ads are bad, but mostly to make the browsing fast.
* Android 4.1+ support for both ARM and X86
Note: On certain Android versions, when you uninstall an app, Android also removes your downloads.
Keep it in mind if you manipulate Kiwi (to backup bookmarks file) or transfer to another device.
Important things to know about privacy:
- No tracking SDK
https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/search/com.kiwibrowser.browser/
- No in-app tracking / metrics
- No history collection
- Self-funded

During the optimization, the device (Android) chooses what processes to disable.
In this new release of Kiwi: Kiwi indicates to Android that if Android wants more memory, it should try to avoid disabling the current active tab and the extensions.
If the extensions are disabled by Android, Kiwi will try to reload them.

List of HTTP queries used in the browser:
- search.kiwibrowser.com tells you what is the closest google.com server (google.fr/google.de/google.it)
http://search.kiwibrowser.com/searchdomaincheck?format=domain&type=chrome
This is a speed reason, if you go directly to google.fr rather than google.com and then google.fr it's faster, and the browser caches this information
- update.kiwibrowser.com is to download the ad blocking list ( http://update.kiwibrowser.com/service/update2 ), yes it needs to download it from somewhere.
Brave downloads it from AWS for example. I do have the same: a text file with a list of filters
- suggest.kiwibrowser.com is a 302 to Google autocomplete (and DuckDuckGo for some users who are beta-testing Bang support)
If you change your search engine, even to the baked Google one, you won't get connected to suggest.kiwibrowser.com at all as far as I know.
At the end of the day, I need to send the query somewhere, there is no choice.
Whether Google, or DuckDuckDuck if you want Suggest, it *has* to ask a server somewhere.
You can turn Suggest off, or send Suggest to your favorite search provider by adding or selecting it.
- chromecontentsuggestions-pa is to download news - http://chromecontentsuggestions-pa.kiwibrowser.com/v1/

Hello !
I'm not reporting any issue, it's just a comment to let you know that I just downloaded and tested the app on 2 different phones, and it works very well !
There is a bit less animations compared to Brave Browser or Chromium (or maybe they're faster), but it is a bit faster on a Honor 5C.
But it seems that the big difference appears on low end devices : on an old KitKat device, it is way smoother than Brave Browser in scrolling...
Otherwise, thanks for this awesome app ! The night mode is very convenient.
Would it be possible to keep it activated after closing the app ?
I mean, the app remembering that the night mode was on for next time you use it ?

Hello,
Thanks for the nice words about the speed :victory:
I totally see what you mean about the night mode.
The night mode resets on relaunch in order to avoid incoherence (half is in night mode, half is in day mode and that looks quite ugly)
I'm sure there is a way to improve that, once it's improved, then I can remove the reset
I'll ping you on progress,

Just tested it for a few minutes on my most visited sites. With adblocking on, theverge.com doesn't show it's site logo and navigation bar. Hope you could fix that. Thanks. Nice and fast browser.

Noted, I'll fix theverge.com during the week and update you (and also remove this horrible cookie box )

Hello, Google fvcked up full screen video on canary. It doesn't work correctly since months on multiple roms. It just fails to hide the nav bar and status bar. This issue is also there on ur browser and even though it's not ur fvck up, I'd like to ask, if u can try to fix it. I have a OnePlus One currently on LOS 15.1 Oreo. The screenshot is from the video that popped up first when I launched YouTube.com but it is like that on any website.
To get even more crazy, is there anyway to bring back the URL bar at the bottom?

I think I know what it is,
Can you go to chrome://flags in the address bar
and set "New Media Controls" (#enable-new-media-controls) to "Disabled" ?
If that works, then I know what to change by default
I closely followed development of these new media controls (I am working on gestures for media playing), and they seem to be very buggy so I wouldn't be surprised if they were the cause of the fullscreen not ok.
Note: maybe it's not related to media controls, but I strongly suspect it.
Let me know if this solves the problem,
Btw, yes of course I want to fix it that's a major thing

The more I read the answer, the less I'm sure it's the cause
Let me know, I'm very curious on that one if disabling the modern media controls solves it.
Otherwise I'll find a way to reproduce.

Extremely fast and nice :good:
I don't know if it's possible, but any way to bring this kind of tabs?

extension support like yandex will benefit

Nice to see another Chromium fork, especially from my own country! ?
I have some suggestions though:
1) Please consider open-sourcing the browser for trustworthiness and copying (the more forks we have, the better they get)
2) Do consider enabling the flags in chrome://flags instead of target arguments, that would bring an easy overview of what is already enabled and what isn't.
3) I'm not sure how much you changed the ad blocking compared to the built-in one, but the menu has an option "Hide annoying ads" - would it be possible to hide all ads instead?

Is there any way to hide the status bar.. As shown in the screenshots of the browser??

I can't begin to express how much I love this browsers. It is fast, really really fast, like puffin fast. I don't know what you did but its too damn good. I have struggled to get a good browsers which offers the perfect blend of speed adblocking and ui and kiwi provides just that. It didn't took 10 min to make me fall in love with it. The adblocking works as charm. I do have adaway for ads but the cosmetic filtering is what i wanted for ages. Really keep up the good work.

3) hide annoying ads is probably cosmetic filtering, it hides the blocked ad banner its per site option like in brave. Not sure what you mean, are u asking to rename?

I don't think so, its mostly rom feature called expanded desktop.

If it really is what you claim it to be, yes, a rename would make sense too. For example, "hide ad placeholders".
Otherwise I expected it to be Adblock Plus-style where some ads are whitelisted.

To get even more crazy, is there anyway to bring back the URL bar at the bottom?

fvck yeah
I'm working on that at the moment (along with Speed Dial and tons of fixes).
The main reason why it's not done yet is that during the switch from Chrome Home to Chrome Duplex, Google moved the code all over the place and refactored almost everything, so it's not just "reviving" the feature, but really to reimplement it.
It's planned, I have a very big (and slippery) phone, and I broke it because of no Omnibox at the bottom (my phone is more slippery than a soap bar).

I have tried, it doesn't render well because the space taken is huge, but it is on the list.
I'll upload some screenshots next week I guess
