Well im new to the Rom world and to forum. So..... I guess this is my official start to stardom, lol.

I have a question for all you genieus out there... Can you use odin to go back to dk28(if even needed)?

Like I started to say im new to the great world of roms!!! ive tried syndicatefrozen and it was great for the few hours that work. NOW, i would like to try trinity but it looks like you need to be running dk28 and i cant seem to get it that way?

(so you know i believe i have the correct .tar but cant find pit... if that matters)

PLEASE HELP!!!! and Thank You
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
You don't need the pit file just put the tar file under PDA and make sure only auto reboot is checked
[Epic 4G General] Fattabolous:
i tried about 15 times and watched a few videos and still nothing
[Epic 4G General] aleph23:
I suggest you check the wiki. You will find odin + pit, the proper dk28, & good instructions.

[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Why go to dk28 when there is ec05 out? Try to flash a rom based on ec05. Also viper synergy is based on eb13 at the moment. Going g to dk28 is not a good idea. It was a test build. To many bugs compared to the builds we have now with the custom kernels

[Epic 4G General] Fattabolous:
nice i wasnt sure if you could use the old roms on new software
[Epic 4G General] ankurcshah:
Wiki has all the information that is needed. :)
[Epic 4G General] keith5039756827:
Yes u can odin to anything at any time.

Some roms can run on higher modems than there built for (a dk28 rom on ec05 modem).

U really only to odin modems for upgrading, rom zips contain the rest.

This is a tablet optimized reader and I'm loving it more than pulse on my Xoom

[Xoom Themes and Apps] joereist:
No affiliation here - I bought NewsR and love it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] B Dizzle:
Just bought it an already in love. Wish touchdown would adopt this simple interface.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] legendary1022:
I would agree. Have been using this for a couple of days and has replaced newsrob as my go-to Google reader app. Love the interface and new features are coming quickly.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MvP77:
I think it needs to be a lil faster fetching feeds and I hope they offer a White on black theme.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] schergr:
Offline for Newsr?

I would agree that Newsr is definitely onto something, however I think its missing one key thing which is offline capability (download/read/sync when online).

Can anyone think of a reason this couldn't be accomplished?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] PearlMikeJam:
This was my exact question I had before buying. Thanks for clarifying.

This can be done as NewRob already does this on Android phones. I would like to see offline capabilities that downloads the entire article and not just the RSS feed blurb with a link. I have seen other RSS apps be able to do this.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] futuregerald:
considering that i've been using the official google reader app cause that's what i'm used to on my N1, this is a huge improvement, consider it bought.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] anthony_m_king:
Bought it last night. Awesome!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] flippingout:
Just bought. Very nice interface and quite snappy. Some room for improvement but snappy none-the-less.

I agree and would like to see some offline component to it but that is not a dealbreaker for me - i'll always have 3G (hopefully soon 4G) coverage but for those with Wi-Fi only tablets that will likely be a must have part of this app.

Kuddos to the developer for optimizing this for Honeycomb. Now I get to ditch Pulse!!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mobilehavoc:
You should all email the dev (Chris Stewart) - his email is in the app description or support info. He's been very responsive and seems to be open to suggestions/feedback.

I got in at 1.0 and it's improved very fast since then already.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] facewald:
I'm using an app called Feedly. works great, has a magazine like layout and its free
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mobilehavoc:
Doesn't seem optimized in any shape for the XOOM. Do you have a beta or something?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] facewald:
no beta, here is a link to the app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.devhd.feedly&feature=search_result
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
I'm Chris, and I'm the developer for Newsr. Really glad to see the positive remarks throughout this thread. Glad you're all enjoying the app and I definitely have more coming for it, and additional Honeycomb-optimized apps. If you have any suggestions, feedback, etc, don't hesitate to email me: cstewart913@gmail.com.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Offline is definitely something I'm working on for a future release. It's coming... :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] horatiopositronic:
Gizmodo posted a list of RSS readers today and forgot Newsr so I gave it a shout out in the comments since I like and use Newsr much more than the other two they mentioned for Honeycomb.

http://gizmodo.com/#!5791676/not-dead-yet-the-ultimate-guide-to-rss-in-2011
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Thanks for the support, I appreciate it!

I actually just pushed out version 1.10 tonight which includes a few highly requested features:

-- Token authorization uses any Google account now, not just gmail.com and googlemail.com accounts.

-- Can now view starred articles in the label view.

-- Implemented the native “Share” feature of Google Reader.

Plenty more coming, so stay tuned!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vamp6x6x6x:
I am honestly thinking about getting this. I have never use google reader before, but I have used pulse reader...And I have to say that this looks like it has a cooler and overall easier to understand UI then pulse does.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] sleeplessninja:
Another video Overview on Newsr. Little more in depth. I think its great.

[YOUTUBE]fmT2B-XdYMI[/YOUTUBE]
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Thanks for making that, very cool. Glad you're enjoying Newsr. I'm actively working on it and have a pretty big update coming that will make the experience even better. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] flippingout:
Can't wait for the big update. You've been on a role lately! Hope to see some offline storage soon.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
What I'm working on now is the first release towards making offline mode possible. Right now, Newsr loads each feed/label on demand from Google Reader. While I like that, it doesn't make an offline mode much of a possibility and a widget is mostly out of the question if I'm not storing any data locally. So, the next update will pre-fetch all of your unread data on load and use that data source as you select feeds/labels. Movement between label/feed is instant now, no loading.

The pre-fetch happens on a background thread as well, so you're able to read loaded feeds while the others come down. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kkwus74:
OK im sold. Buying it now lol
[Xoom Themes and Apps] flippingout:
Fantastic! And thank you for being so responsive.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vamp6x6x6x:
Is there any way to make it so you can add feeds that aren't on your Google. Feed thing like on Palse
[Xoom Themes and Apps] willverduzco:
Newsr is quite a good app, on which I will post a review in the coming days.

Definitely some room for improvement: namely widget support, offline mode, and the ability to see all (not just unread) items. Despite that, though, it's the best client that I have seen for HC tablets.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Toll Booth Willie:
Hi Chris,

I'm a purchaser of the app, and definitely a fan of the layout. Since you seem to have fixed the portrait view bug, my only feedback at this point is the whole login/display articles startup could stand some speeding up. Great job, I consider it money well spent.

Edit: I just saw the post above where you will be doing article pre-fetching, so sounds like it will be perfect!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
i got the app but what does it do exactly? Im new to this kind of thing.... does it centralize all your feeds from your favorite sites in 1 location? Like a RSS reader?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keitht:
It basically syncs with your Google Reader account. You will need to set that up on your PC.

http://www.google.com/reader/

Add your feeds then you will see them in NewsR on your Xoom.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
Is it possible to have the articles not disappear after reading them?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] siscim23:
Wondering the same, my only complaint.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ktd:
Chris, I like Newsr a lot but compared to MobileRSS on iPad Newsr feels a bit unpolished and not as easy to read my news with...

I find that reading through my news is much quicker on my iPad because of MobileRSS.

I would like to have a dark theme and I would like a better UI design for for the labels and subject columns.

This is how MobileRSS looks like. Here is the first screen after MobileRSS have been updating the feeds.

I can scroll up and down in the topic channel just like Newsr but I see a short preview of the article without having to click on it to read the first lines in the article.

Clicking on an article will slide the topics column to the left so that the article field gets bigger. Pressing Mark all read will bring the label column forward again.

I also would like a Show all/Show only new switch.

Of course you don't have to copy MobilRSS (you don't have to do anything since you are the developer ;)) but a few changes would be nice.

Thank you for a good app for my RSS needs.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] spirit32:
I would love a feature that can change themes too.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] huzz:
Its a decent application but in all I found it to be very slow while loading the feeds at start compared to mainly feedly.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] flippingout:
Chris said he is adding offline support which should speed up the app. He's been a bit quite lately...hopefully that means he is hard at work at a big update!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
I do have an update in store for Newsr. I've been working on getting my next app, TweetComb, up to par in the feature department to Newsr. Once they're both in good shape, I'll be splitting my time between the two of them more evenly.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] wolf1306:
thanks for the support. can't wait for the updates
[Xoom Themes and Apps] flippingout:
Sounds good. Thanks Chris!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] hm1b:
common chris, now three of us asking for this

Chris,

I bought the app. I hope you give above comment a good consideration. Most of my friends had the same comments;

Why when you "mark all read" news disappears? Also, it would be nice to have themes.

In the end I would like commend you are in the right track for outstanding app.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Right now the app is pulling down unread articles only. I'm working on updates to change this behavior and to bring a few other highly requested features.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
An option to keep read artikles offline to reread them if you start the app offline might be a good one
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Newsr 1.14 was just released to the Android Market. It's focus was improving performance of the app in both the networking code and parsing processes. Get the update and let me know if it's noticeable for you!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Gobosin:
Awesome update. Thanks.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
definetely a noticeable performance boost here. good work
[Xoom Themes and Apps] eyecon82:
any way you can add in animation so it looks like you are flipping through a magazine like flipboard on iPad?

I also like the suggestion of the other user who I am quoting below. THanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] lignumaqua:
Since the update this morning articles are no longer being marked as read when you 'swipe' through them. It just keeps loading the same articles.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
I've gotten a report of that, which I haven't been able to reproduce on my device. I'll be looking into it tonight and getting a fix together.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Can you try something to help me debug this issue? If you would, can you go into Settings -> Applications -> Newsr. Stop the app, clear all of the data, and clear the cache if necessary. Then open up Newsr, reauthenticate, and see if it's still doing this. Let me know, thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] lignumaqua:
Yep - that fixed it! :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Perfect, I'll put together an update tonight that does this automatically. Thanks!

It has to do with the networking code changes. I would say the performance improvement will be worth getting prompted to select your Google account again. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] blue13x:
Hi Chris, could you please add a mark as read option for ALL subscriptions?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Newsr is now a FREE app on the Android Market! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chriswstewart.rss

To my existing customers, thank you very much for your support and feedback. I'm happy to offer you a refund, just send me an email (cstewart913@gmail.com).
[Xoom Themes and Apps] eyecon82:
Keep the money my friend......thanks for your hard work!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keitht:
It is worth the money spent and I use it daily. Looking forward to new features in the future.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Gobosin:
Well worth the money I spent. One of my most frequently used apps.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] eyecon82:
May I suggest something? is there anyway you can make the right plane (where the full article is) flippable? so you just flip it and it'll bring you to the next article without going to the middle column to click on it? like a flip from the rightside-->left side

Also can you include a page turn animation you see on iBooks and EZPDF reader? I can even donate some more money for you to do that.....once you get it like that im sure this app will be a big hit.....
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kkwus74:
No way I will be refunding. It's a great app and it deserves the small contribution at the very least! Thanks Chris!

Sent from my HTC Evo
[Xoom Themes and Apps] eyecon82:
I see that doing a right-->left swipe does bring it to the next article!! Any way you can add in page turning animation like EZPDF reader? after that I think you will have the perfect product!!

Also, take a look at retab.......it lays the articles out nicely like flipboard on Ipad...any way you can give us the option to do that instead of having a bottom to top view? THanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] blue13x:
I agree, you did great work....just keep it up and keep updating. I always recommend Tweetcomb too.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] HuckFinn:
I will also NOT be requesting a refund. I obviously thought it was worth the money then and it continues to get better and better.

Keep up the good work!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ktd:
Keep the money. I probably would have donated about the same amount anyways. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] alex2792:
Is anyone else getting a lot of FCs when changing orientation or using the back button after reading the article in browser? I like the fact that I can use it in portrait unlike retabber,but it constantly crashes on me:-\
[Xoom Themes and Apps] flippingout:
No need for a refund...great app and definitely worth the donation!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bparvin:
updates

Are you going to continue to update this app or did you make it free because you are giving up on it?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] eyecon82:
thats a very good question
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
I'm not sure why that conclusion has been jumped to, for both of my apps, but no, I'm definitely _not_ giving up on it. TweetComb is also free and I pushed a release for it over the weekend. I have a release coming together for Newsr currently, which will be pushed soon too.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] BlackDino:
Cant wait, I love Newsr and will not request a refund.

Although it seems to be quite unstable at times and the fragments are non existent in portrait mode
[Xoom Themes and Apps] shawnfr:
I use Newsr every day so won't be requesting a refund...just don't add in adverts, as that would be annoying, having paid for it ;)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] adancau:
I won't be requesting a refund either. I like the app and its potential (there is still room for improvement - e.g. offline caching, update scheduling, feed subscriptions etc), and I think it was money well spent.

There is also a bug, if one has subscribed to news feeds about something via the google news website, the articles don't show up in their folder (which is visible), but they do in the all feeds view.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
1.15 is available now, it includes:

Release 1.15 - 5/26/11

- Let user do landscape with either side being “up”.

- Preference for hiding labels/feeds that are empty.

- Improved the performance of the “Mark all as Read” option.

- Removed feedback link in preferences so I can submit to Amazon.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] huzz:
Awesome!! finally the speed is here!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kwong126:
Installed what appears to be v1.16 of Newsr, and so far it's the best reader I have for reading my Google Reader feeds. I do have one issue so far, for some reason, I only see two panes. That is (1) labels / forms, and (2) news feed. Checked the settings, but it doesn't appear as though I'm able to set anything to choose between two and three panes.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cboy82:
just saw this thread consider another app installed! thanx chris

how come its not in the eu market place?

looks nice on my us xoom
[Xoom Themes and Apps] oaz1:
Yes its pretty good but i miss the offline support, and the different entrys should be fetch bevor, to make it faster after you read one and switch to the next one!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Hmm, very odd. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Thanks!

It should be on the Android Market in any country it's allowed to be in, per Google. I've not blocked access to any country for any of my apps.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Offline support is coming. It's just taking a bit to get it together correctly, and continue to work on my other apps too. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] blue13x:
chris, when you go to:show feeds > all items, isntt there a way to mark all item there as read?

Also when an item is read, it dissappears from the feeed, could you implement a system where it all stays, but the unread ones are highlighted?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kwong126:
Yeah, oddly enough that seemed to do it. :D Go figure.

+1 Offline syncing of feeds would be awesome.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] drhill:
This app is the best way to use google reader. Thanks... but I do have some suggestions. ;)

1) Things like "Mark all as read" should trigger threads which do the heavy lifting, that way the UI isn't stopped while that action is being completed.

2) You have a folder view and a feed view, but why not make it like Reader on the web where the folder has a drop list in it so you can view it's feeds or if you click the folder you get all the feeds.

3) Having the folder/feed view up all the time and right next to the articles list wastes a ton of space. It also is unneeded for awhile. Generally people are going to select a folder/feed and scan the whole list of articles then move on to the next feed. Hiding the feed view after selection the same way folders are hidden in the browsers book marks would clean that up. The space saved would allow to increase the widge of the article list as well as the article view.

4) Can we get the full article view and not just the mobile version of the article?

5) UI layout and quick access. I see this app (and the tablet in general) as a thumbs heavy. So putting the "mark all as read" in the article list view makes it hard to reach. You have that pretty title bar at the top, don't be afraid to use it. Of course that also means you have to be careful with placement. GMail is notorious for bad design. In GMail (on the web) "Delete" is right next to "Mark as Read". Their mobile view has "Settings" right next to "Log out". Obviously those buttons get hit a lot by accident, and the consequences are annoying at best. I would put something as far left from the right side of the screen as "thumbly" possible, and have some space next to it so it isn't accidentally hit.

6) Kind of annoying we can't read "read" articles, and that "Mark all as read" removes the current article list.

7) Maybe when you first click on a folder/feed instead of displaying the first article in the article view you give a collage of the unread articles (like retab's graphical approach). Not really an annoyance, just more of a neat feature.

If you want me to expand on any of these let me know.

I honestly find Newsr is the only comfortable way for me use Google Reader on my Xoom.

Thanks.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Yes, the same "mark all as read" icon at the top of the article list will work in that scenario as well. Make sure you're running the latest version (1.16).

I'm working on a way to keep unread items around.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Chris Stewart:
Thanks for the feedback and support!

In the latest update the performance of these processes was dramatically improved. The process itself has always lived in a thread that does the work, as Honeycomb doesn't allow network access on a UI thread, but as you notice a progress dialog is displayed while the process happens. As I incorporate background data fetches, I'll be able to make the whole process a little more seamless since items from the next feed won't need to be loaded in again.

I agree. This is something I want to do soon. I had this working in a dev build, that did a number of things really, which I scrapped because the direction wasn't quite what I wanted. I will be doing this in a release build soon.

Agree as well, this will be in an upcoming release.

While viewing an article, you can select web view by selecting the eye icon to the right of the article detail. I plan to make this more integrated into the experience soon.

This is definitely something I've kept in mind while laying out Newsr. As the app has grown and incorporated new features, it's grown a little out of the mold I had it in originally. I have more items I want to add (ReadItLater support, for instance) and as I do I will go back and rearrange aspects of the UI to make them better and more usable.

Newsr was designed to be a simple way to read unread articles, very much following the default functionality of Google Reader itself. As the app has grown and users have spoken, I've found it necessary to break that model slightly and go back to add things like this. I will be adding a way to read "read" articles in a future update.

This is something that I don't think will make it into Newsr any time soon, as I personally don't find it very useful to see my news in that way. I want to keep the app focused on providing a useful and efficient way to read your news.
