Hey guys!
For the last few weeks I have been working on a new app, called Fenix, yet another Twitter client (yes, I know, bad timing...).
The app is not ready yet, but I wanted to share with you an initial preview and get some feedback.
The core features are already implemented, but a lot of work is still needed and a ton of other features will be added.
Here's a summary of what you get right now:
Clickable links in timeline (I've not found another app that does this yet, apart from the official client)
Inline preview of images and youtube videos
Two styles of inline media preview - small and big
The usual dark and light themes
Dedicated tablet layout
Quick access to lists and saved searches from the app left drawer
Optional internal web browser
Multiple accounts support
As I said, the app is not ready, but I'd like to hear your feedback and requests.
You can join this Google+ community to get the latest test version of the app.
Follow this thread or the @fenix_app twitter account for updates.
Enjoy!

Trying this out. It looks pretty nice so far, and performance seems good.
An observation: In the dark theme, there's not quite enough contrast between the text and the background. Perhaps make the background a little darker, or the text a little whiter? It may already be completely white, hard to tell.
Great start. Hope to see some more options added soon.

Only thing I've noticed so far is the inability to zoom in the internal browser. This causes a few issues when viewing some pages. I've attached an example.
Still really fantastic work

Best Twitter client I've tried for a while, loving the look and feels.
Using this as my client for now, will give you more feedback later.
Great!
A button to go to the top of timeline(mine, others', etc...) should be there...
This is the picture what I said.
sounds good :good:
This is a really nice app, even for a preview release. I like the fact that the app is nice and clean. No problems or bugs with it either. Good job dev

I have been using it all day and have loved it, no one would know that it is a preview release. It's polished, smooth and a joy to glide through the fresh looking timeline. I currently use Falcon & Plume, but this has already become my favourite client. A few things missing to prevent me dumping the other clients, but I'm sure that they will be added as development goes on. Subscribed to thread and looking forward to updates and further development. Good Job!
App looks nice, but is it possible to make for gingerbread?
wow, I´m impressed really great looking app.
My wishes from what I see atm
1. black theme
2. twitlonger support
3. customizable colors for links/usernames
4. options to switch the press/long press behaviour on a tweet
5. once you long press a tweet to expand and see controls, there is no way to collapse it agaim, please add that
6. option for retweet to do it normal or with my reply added to it
7. possibilty to swipe to left and right to switch between items like timeline and mentions
the preview looks very promising, with my wishes above it could really get my default one and I would definitely be happy to review ot
Looks great, way better than other clients. High five man

Nice app.
First off, great app, been using it for a while on my Transformer and its by far superior to the stock Facebook app. Its gotten even better since the upgrade a few days back.
The only issues I've found so far are:
When I try to lauch the app by touching a notification it force closes. I can view the notifications by launching the app and navigating to the notifications tab, but touching the shortcut in the HC notification tray causes a FC.
Once when I launched the app it won't load any of my Facebook data. Forcing a refresh didn't help either. I removed my FB account and re-added it and this seemed to fix it. Haven't had the issue since, so it might have been a one off glitch.
I'm running Prime 1.4 with a Clemsyn kernel on an Asus TF101. Once again, great app, hope you keep developing it!
Nice, will give it a try and report back
That app is not on the market. :/

It is Honeycomb only.
Some issues:
- In reading an article, only 20 or so of the latest comments could be seen. If, say, there's a topic with more than fifty comments, just half of those are available.
- Pressing the notification does not take me to the corresponding article or update, only to the app in its most recent state.
Good App, but until there's a chat option, it's useless for me...Maybe you can add also the new videochat...
greets

tested the app and wrote about it on my blog here:http://myandroidlove.blogspot.com/2011/07/appoptimized-facebook-for-honeycomb.html
I really like the app, however, for it to be the best, this is an issue of needing to have farmville. I need to get my wife off my computer.
Make it so!
Every time I comment on or like a post, the news feed goes back to the top. I think it would be better if the news feeds stay put.
You could also put a favorites tab (like favorite friends).
Thank you for the app!
Also, I discovered that you can't share/upload a photo from the android gallery.

I'm pretty sure it's something that Farmville is blocking. Are you able to play Farmville on the Browser app on the device? I'm not doing anything to block access to games through Friend Me.

I have that working in the 1.3 beta. Should be available this week.
I really love the look of this app. I hope that it'll come in Gingerbread too, though, so I can use it with my Galaxy Tab.
Friend Me is pretty gorgeous - it's very well put-together and is snappy and nice to use.
However, I ran into a few issues:
-- Messaging - it still appears to use the browser-based messaging system. This is really clumsy to use.
-- Newsfeed sometimes does not refresh properly. I was using 1.2 beta 3 and every so often the feed would be empty and not refresh properly. If you went back to the account list, it would then refresh.
-- Repeat notifications. At one point earlier today, Friend Me kept notifying me that there was "new information available", but it wasn't readily obvious what it was notifying me about. I ended up uninstalling just to make the notifications stop.
-- Poke support. Silly, I know, but I've yet to see an app that supports this.
Overall a great app. I'm installing the newly-instated Market version and am really looking forward to seeing more improvements.
Keep up the great work!
Works great on my Xoom, thnx
Love the app, but one problem with it... farmville. I have a friend and I think he does nothing but play farmville all day. In the browser, I have it blocked so I don't see the spam, but in FriendMe, it's 99% of my news feed. Perfect app otherwise.

Is there anyyy way of porting this to the desire hd? Android 2.3?
Sent from my Desire HD
I've published Friend Me 1.3.1 to the Android Market which has an in-app purchase option to remove the ad. I've also moved the ad to the news detail fragment and made it a leaderboard style ad.
The in-app upgrade is only $0.99 for a limited time.
Bought it, even that mostly I use my gtablet under vegan rom (froyo), and only sometimes use the HC port, but your work deserve it.
Thanks!
Hi xda!
I developed a new application and this is the free version!
This app makes your incoming sms, the rss example or tweets(from your timeline/mentions/DM) scroll on top of the screen in whichever application you are! Perfect for reading long sms without stopping playing your favorite game or watching a movie. You can directly respond to SMS and tweets, preview RSS article or open it in a browser. (and mark sms as read in paid version)
The settings screen shows you also the features of the paid version if you ever decide to upgrade (not all the settings changes will take effect on the free version )
There might be bugs so don't hesitate to report them to me, I'll do my best to correct them
If you want to help me translate the app in your language, I'll be very happy to provide you the necessary file in order to do it! For the moment, it is available in English, French and Swedish.
And here is the link! Scrolling Notifications Free
If you can't download on the market for one reason or another, here is a direct link but please prefer the market version, it's easier for statistics, plus there are explanations on the Play Store page

Yes of course! I will update the OP now.
I added a RSS example if you select this mode. You will see titles of latest xda articles update and display once every 10minutes.
Great app, works well on my Galaxy Note. I'm eager to purchase the full app but i think it would be nice if the developer added support for Whatsapp.

Thanks for the feedback!
For the support of third-party apps it seems difficult to fully implement but using the accessibility service could help find a partial solution (you will in the scrolling bar what usually goes in the notification panel, the problem is if you have more than 1 unread messages it usually display something like "Mercury Messenger: 2 unread messages" without the content of these messages) but I'll sure look into it for some future versions!
By the way new version!
With 1.2.0 you can enable Sound/Vibration notification which mimics the states of your phone (Silent/Vibrate/Normal) so if you decide to disable the classic Android notification, you'll still have the sound/vibration/nothing(xD) for SMS! That was lacking!
Nice app, good idea, work well without problem. I used Notifier Pro but it's a big battery eater, it seems your app isn't.
I don't like the icon,as you can see in the screenshot the size of the text is not good, maybe due to my launcher i don't know...
I think interface could be improved too but it's a good beginning. I think i'll buy the pro version to support a french developper ;-)

Merci!
Yeah the icon sucked, I'm not a graphist, I wanted to render a scrolling effect by cropping the text on borders but it was a bad move . I changed the icon for the new version I just released (that's why I respond so late sorry!) I hope it's better but I'm open to any propositions/suggestions for modification!
Of course with the new version, there are new features!
Now in the free version you can touch the scrolling bar like in the paid version so you can directly respond to a sms or previsualize a RSS article or open it in a browser! ( You still cannot choose your RSS source in free version, and mark SMS as read is also only availaible in paid version. )
Hope you like it!
Quick update to say there is new video and screenshot in the OP to highlight the update!
This looks very cool!
Sent from my CM9 Galaxy SII
Thanks!
Next update will certainly have Twitter and modes won't be exclusive anymore amongst other things.
Google Reader Support
Quick Question - Can I point this to my Google Reader account?
Yes of course!
Realy Great app
Direct link doesn't seem to be working, keep getting 404, tried Android and dolphin browsers.
The link broke when I uploaded the last version, sorry for that.
It's repaired now!
Great work!
Great app! I've been looking for something like this. Smart statusbar wasn't doing it for me, but this is perfect. Bought the paid version.
I've been looking around for non obtrusive notifications. This one is pretty awesome! Good work OP
Thanks guys for your support!
Next version progresses greatly: Twitter added and now you can have multiple bars for specific services or still only one bar with all notifications like before. And more features
Edit: I almost forgot that for the next version I finished a graphic update because Gingerbread version is not the same than ICS for Settings screen (ugly green buttons).
Hi!
Just bought the app! Very nice idea!
But I have some feature requests if it's ok?
When I receive an sms and answer to it in the app, I want my original message app to recognise that I have read and answered the sms. As it is now, when I answer via the app, my answer doesn't come up in the original conversation with that person. The message is also still showed as not read after I have answered the sms. Is it possible to fix? Tnx again for a nice project!

Hi guys,
my name is Daniele and i'm the developer of PureContact.
I want to talk about my app.
With PureContact you can contact your friends through the use of gestures (swipe up, swipe down, swipe left, swipe right) or through double tap.
Through these simple actions you can recall the whatsapp conversation with the selected contact, send text, write an email or call.
Just long press on blank screen and add your favourite contact. Then you can choose the default photo contact or select one in your gallery.
Pick up one numbers and one email (if the contact have more than one) and just press save.
Go to the settings menu and choose the actions for the swipe.
Now you can use gestures to send text, whatsapp, email or call.
The app was released last night. I already have in mind a few features to be included in the next updates (such as the ability to write messages via facebook or twitter, add themes and other options), but in the meantime I would like to arrive at a stable version and a zero bug (I hope there aren't, but as all the early beta versions of any application I'm afraid that something will come out).
PureContact is free and is available on the Google Play Store.
If you have questions, found bugs, suggestions or requests, just ask
Thank you for your help and support.
Daniele
Installed it. I like the look of the app. Will try out and give feedback.
nice app !
hope you consider doing a widget or a dialer to the app in the near future
imagine a launcher with youre app intergrated into it that would be nice ...

I'm wondering, all my contacts are on Google's servers. Does this app support downloading / editing / updating these contacts? Furthermore this looks like a brilliant alternative to the boring stock people app.
~ djpbx
Awesome!!!
I like your idea about how to interact with the icon, very clever!
just only one issue from me;
the (circle)border of people icons seems not smooth right now, the thumb(contact image) inside the circle is not smooth also.
Another thing, I suggested that the size for the contact icon might be bigger.
It looks stunning, I must say!
I'll be closely following development

Very nice concept, good work. Any way you could possibly squeeze in another row to have a dozen contacts?
Nice UI. Downloading. Great Work
Nice App but what it needs:
- Automatically add favorite contacts to the screen
- Make Icons moveable. Choose apps for "left", "right", "top" and "bottom" and than just move the contact to one of the sides
- Add dialer
- Add Call list
download link isnt working. can you upload it again?
Doesn't load the contact list.galaxy tab 2.
Sorry for my previous post.It works but not so impressive in 7" tablet.

This app is really awesome .. but I want to know why is the whatsapp shortcut not working with any of my contacts ?
and if you could improve on the starting time of the app that would be great for the main purpose of the app..
Looks like a promising start!
Two things would be great to add:
(1) an option to add all contacts instead of adding each manually 1-by-1 (of I missed the function to add all at once)
(2) more messenger options (e.g. Line, Skype etc.)
very very nice ui

In test now...
Thx!
B:silly:
Very nice!
Suggestion!
Make the contact pictures larger and/or with square/rectangular frames (maybe an option to choose too). There is just too much white space between the contacts.
Lags?
the stock contacts application is seems quite laggy. Sometimes I have to wait close to a minute when I want to make a call. very frustrating when I have to do that in front of someone also carrying a smartphone. Takes the charm away.
My Question: Does this solve the problem of laggyness usually seen on ICS/JB phones? I currently have the Munjeni JB ROM for Xperia Sola.
Thanks in advance.
Overall awesome, lacks a widget. Hope you'll make it in a new version.
FeedEx News Reader is a light, modern, totally free (no ads) and opensource project which keeps you inform by fetching your websites/blogs and displaying them in a mobile-optimized way. It is based on the "Sparse rss" reader and is able to read RSS/Atom feeds.
It DO NOT synchronizes with any online feed reader, but do you really need feeds synchronization now you always have your phone with you?
Features:
- easily add new feeds thanks to the finders or subscribe to a new one from the browser via the share feature
- offline reading including images
- import/export the feed list from OPML
- retrieve the full text of the feed when the content is truncated
- star your favorite entries
- filter your feed by keywords or regular expressions
- custom widget
Feedly users: you can export your feeds to OPML at this address (cloud.feedly.com/#opml) and then import them into FeedEx News Reader.
Any help would be very appreciated!

Thanks for your work.
Thanks, I like this
I like the modern design and the dark theme.
A request ... In the widgets, it would be good if the user could choose the number of lines to display per item of news. To clarify, I'd like to see the main news item in bold at a user defined size along with maybe a line or two (as opted by me) of the news details. The headline alone does not allow me to understand if the item is worth opening. To get an idea of the look of the widget I intend, look at Scrollable news widget
Another thing is ... to keep in line with the latest Gmail, remove the refresh button and let the user pull down to refresh.
Cheers
Hi!
Sorry for the late answer, with the holidays I forgot it
Concerning the widget, I agree there is lot of improvements to do. This is not my priority because I would like to add some features to the application before (search, tablet support), but I'll do it and make FeedEx News Reader better and better, I just need time
Great app, thank you for this. I give you five stars in Play Store. Finally i can get rid of annoying feedly.
I have a question, though: how does exclusion filter work? Tried to apply it to some feed, seems not to work or i can't understand something. Let me explain. I read some russian news site called Mignews. The problem with them is that they don't post sport news in separate feed, and i totally uninterested in sport news. Every sport-related entry has a title starting with 'MIGsport:' and the actual title after it, so i thought i can filter these entries out by entering MIGsport: and checking «Apply to title», but these entries are still there. I am doing something wrong or don't understand the purpose of filtering?
Thanks for the stars I'm glad to see that some people really like FeedEx.
Concerning your issue, I think the filter is working but you have to know that it's effective only on futur news. The already downloaded news are kept, even if they match with the filter.
Can you confirm me that?
Well, I understand. Let me check it for couple of hours and I'll report back.

Ok, if it's does not work, then there is chances that there is a bug inside FeedEx
I don't think it's a bug, let's wait and see. I set the app to auto-refresh every 30 minutes. What I'm going to do is to compare my timeline in FeedEx with desktop reader and my girlfriend's one. This way I'll know for sure. Will report my results later today.

OK, tested and filtering works for newly downloaded entries! Thanks a lot!

You're welcome.
I agree it's a little confusing, I should explain this somewhere into the app
Thank you for your application, it is very convenient! Tell me, are there plans to make a list of feeds foldable and add the ability to reduce the font in the "news"? On my Note2 they look very big.
Hi!
Sorry for the late answer
Concerning the possibility to fold the feeds, I was possible before but not today. I remove it to allow to clic on a group and to have more simplicity into the navigation drawer. For my use, the folding feature is still present into the feed edit screen to allow to move them easily into groups.
So I'm sorry but there is currently no plans for adding it again.
And concerning the font size can you post a screenshot or explain where exactly do you find the font too big?
Hi HoloAddict!
Nice program, thanks for your excellent work. By the looks of it, the only developing standalone RSS feed reader with offline mode on the market.
Some feature suggestions for this app:
- would be nice to be able to configure font and font size. I find current font the program uses is a bit inconvenient for my eyes. I would prefer the one used by gReader. But others may like the current font. Would be nice to have it configurable.
- would be nice to have per-channel settings for number of items and item expiration. Would also be nice to be able to prevent unread items from being automatically cleared (but still clear the read ones).
- would be nice to have channel groups collapsing and expanding in the channel list - this would save space in the channel list and optimise it's navigation.
- buttons "Show original text" and "See in browser" in the article reading mode - can you make them smaller or move to the header row? Or at least make this option configurable? For short articles they take half of the screen
- would be nice to have "back" button to return you from article list to channel list, and not quit the program (this might be personal. I just got used to this hierarchy: channel list --> article list --> article).
Apart from that - great app, thanks for your work!

You're the second one who tell me this. I personnally prefer the one use by feedex (otherwise I would not have choose it ), I believe it's less tiring. Do other people think as darsh?

I do not want the first part (to keep it simple), but the second part is interesting, I think I'll implement it.

It was like this before, but I changed my mind to keep simplicity (code and UI) and allow some actions like clicking on a group. Moreover I used group collapsing especially for feed sorting, not for reading it everyday.
- buttons "Show original text" and "See in browser" in the article reading mode - can you make them smaller or move to the header row? Or at least make this option configurable? For short articles they take half of the screen

I do not understood this one... Why the size of these buttons is a problem ? They are always at the bottom of the text.

You're not the only one to ask me this. I could do it but this is against the android principle of a navigation drawer. Look at the gmail app, the back button doesn't open the drawer. And if I do like you said, I can't quit the app with the back button... Moreover, the back button should do what it's aimed for: going back, not open a menu.
@HoloAddict: Actually, I wanted to ask for same: to place «Retrieve the full text» and «See in browser» buttons side by side. It looks better and more «polished» and takes less place.

Side by side? I agree it would be better but I'm affraid there won't be enought width on lot of phone to be able to do that...
Nice App
@HoloAddict thanks for this App. I´m using youre feed reader now for a week and it´s really nice. Only thing missing for me atm is to switch filter from exclusion to inclusion because there are some feeds where I would prefer to get only news for filtered terms. :good: :good: :good:

Remind me of "Flow Home" but with (expensive ?) in app-purchase
Anyway, add a refresh button to synchronize our feed would be nice.
Also Feedly support, that would be amazing !
Very Nice and smooth launcher, congrats

Thanks for the feedback. The features that can be purchased were split up so that the user only has to pay for what they want, so it's not exactly "expensive", so to speak.
I will be adding the pull down to refresh action, and a feed filter in the next release.
needs google calandar support so your events and reminders show on the feed.
and an option for 24 clock, but overall it looks great, will test for a while

How about adding app notifications to the feed?

Swipe to dismiss/delete the entry from the feed?

This was actually supposed to be in the initial release, but I forgot to implement it. It will be available in the next update.

Planned for a future release. I initially debated against this, because it would have been redundant to have app notifications showing up in both the notifications area and the feed, but it looks like some users might want this option. It will be implemented as an opt-in setting.

Looking forward to the next few releases so
Add tasks like Business Calendar from Google Tasks and the option to have the feed as the default page and you'll have my vote. I tired of having to have a widget here, and here, and here. I just want simplicity.

Well I think we got the futur best launcher...
Hope that you'll keep updating and not giving up like flow Home
Congrats ! :good:
Nice!
I would use it if:
- it gets 24 hour support (i know it's coming)
- it gets iconpack support
- it gets the possibility to hide icons from the app drawer
Any update coming soon ?

Exactly my feeling.
Magnesium offers a breath of fresh air in the contextual launcher arena - quite lightweight & offers additional features as compared to other contextual launchers like KISS Launcher (or Flow, Aviate, Blur, etc ...) - I really miss Slidescreen
Areas for improvement:
- customizable default screen (drawer or feed)
- searches should be decoupled from screens & should work the same regardless of the screen they're operated in, for example, searches in the app drawer should also go through contacts etc.
- inability to deselect web searches in the free version makes the search feature useless, as web searches swamp the results & are often prioritized as compared to device results
- the search engine should be configurable due to privacy concerns (most common ones should be added: for example duckduckgo, startpage, bing, google, yandex)
- the free/paid model should be revised - as mentioned by @SuperNès90, I have a feeling you're too bent on monetizing the app/features.
Still, keep up the good job! I'm curious how this launcher will mature.

I make your words mine....
specially the free/paid model should be revised. I think it tends to scare free users to even try your work.
Any news on this launcher ?
