too bad no lite version to try it.. :-(.. skip it .. screen shoot does look nice..
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ZanshinG1:
looks nice, but why aren't you using http://developer.android.com/reference/android/accounts/AccountManager.html ?

Asking for login/pass with internet permissions will be suspicious to many users, especially when it's unnecessary for what you're doing.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
Very good idea, it will be included in the next version.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Handshake87:
Ya I was just about to say that lol
[Xoom Themes and Apps] okegesan:
Looks Great

So wanted to purchase this app...please implement user/password feature as stated above. Then I will buy it...kinda creepy as is having to input my info atm
[Xoom Themes and Apps] willverduzco:
Looks nice, though as ZanshinG1 pointed out, Account Manager would be a much better way of using the Google account.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kkwus74:
Looks sweet!.. like others have mentioned once user /pw is added ill purchase it too:-)

Better than Newsr? How does it compare?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Noiz:
I quite like the look of this, but I'm really loathe to buy a Reader app when it's only a matter of time until Google themselves release one that's optimized for tablets. I haven't bought Newsr for the same reason.

If you release an ad supported version then I'd jump all over it. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
We just released version 1.1 with integrated credentials support - enjoy! :-)

Again, thanks for the input
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
Maybe we will release an ad version. But we would rather not bloat the interface with ads. I dont think google will release a good reader app for tablets, the browser one is no good and the one for phones isnt really great either in my opinion. Thats why we thought of doing one that looks the way we want for our selves.. :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mcramer19:
How do things get marked as read? When you scroll down or? That's crucial for me. And when you mark them as read do they go away?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kkwus74:
Would like to know this too......

Sent from my HTC Evo
[Xoom Themes and Apps] m0oskk:
I'll bite.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
As it works now, the news wont get marked as read. When you sync it purges the news and downloads new news. So you can decide, tell us how you want it and we will make it work like that.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RoryPG:
Newsr is a small investment and very good. Actively developed. Even if Google releases its own Reader app that you prefer, you will have gotten your money's worth. What I really want is a scrollable Reader widget which allows me to select which feed or label I want in the widget.

I like the look of this Honey Reader. When it sorts out the login Account Manager issue, I'll give it a whirl. Price is fair, too. I think people forget they can still do 15 minute try and return for no cost if they want. It's important that we support a development community for Droid if we want it to become as robust as Apple's.

Edit: just realized the account manager issue is resolved. Off to try this now.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
Enjoy, I will try to fix the widget for you
[Xoom Themes and Apps] willverduzco:
png6: Great looking app, especially after you've taken care of the login issue. If you create a free ad-sponsored version, I will write about it on the XDA main page. :)

(Just toss me a PM if you decide to do that, please.)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RoryPG:
Tried it. Great potential. 100 max items is not usable for me. I have wayyyyy too many labels.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
Its a memory related thing. We are now running tests on 200+ news..
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
Thanks! :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RoryPG:
How does Newsr pull it off?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
Newsr only have one column with images. HoneyReader have multiple columns with many items that contains images. But dont worry, we will work it out.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Archon810:
Just a suggestion: you need to work on your SEO. I just tried finding your app in the Market and searching for any of these didn't bring it up: "honeycomb rss" "honeycomb feed" "honeycomb reader" "rss" etc.

I'm thinking of covering this at AndroidPolice.com but this is just a friendly advice if you want your app to actually be found in the Market. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mcramer19:
Marking as read is very important to me and everyone I know that uses google reader. The fact I can't mark as read would be a dealbreaker simply because I access my reader account from so many different devices I want them to be on the same page. I love the interface though. Maybe you could let users choose how they want to mark as read?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Archon810:
Here you go. :-]
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
Many thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
Do you think the options:

- mark as read on sight

- mark as read on click

- dont mark as read

.. is good?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] The_Tech_Ninja:
Great Idea, You will have my purchase once this is done :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kkwus74:
I also need the mark as read option..... don't wanna scrolling thru a whole list and find where I left off.....and increasing the number of articles would be great! but other than that a great reader!

Sent from my HTC Evo
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mcramer19:
The scond you do this I will buy the app
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
Good news! I have implemented the "click to mark as read" feature and also upped the number of news to 150. We will make some other updates, including "reading on sight" and realease the new version this monday.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mcramer19:
I will definetly be picking it up. Thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
New update has been sent to Android market, it will be published as soon as Google feels like it.. :-)

Updates include:

- Updated maximum number of news to 1000

- Enabled "reading" of articles with sync to Google reader

- Fixed image caching issues

- Read news now shows as grey

- Fixed image proportion issues

- Updated the colors

Thank you for all your good ideas, please keep them coming!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mcramer19:
Just got it and can't wait for the update

*Edit: it says downloading but no articles ever show even when its done. Any idea why?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
just bought this, dont let me down ;)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
Please let us know if its not satisfactory
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
how do I add feeds? All I have is a blank screen with no option to add sites/feeds. Can I sync with Google Reader?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mcramer19:
Is anybody's feeds coming through? I have the blank screen too but it downloads images that are saved on the "sdcard"
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
How did you add feeds?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
First you aprove the use of your google reader account, then you press the synchronize button to sync with your google reader account. After the sync you should have news on your screen.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
I dont think I got anything other than the original permissions list, do I need to have google reader installed?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mcramer19:
U need to have and add feeds on reader.google.com. it then syncs with google reader.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
Got Google Reader, synced honeyreader w it. Nothing shows up..... everythings listed in google reader but nothing in hondy reader....???????
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mcramer19:
I have the same issue. I've been emailing the developer but we haven't made progress on why. I've tried everything I could think of from changing settings to wiping the cache on my xoom
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
Well that sure defeats the purpose....
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
and now its too late for a refund...

wish i didnt test this...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
No worries DroidHam, I will of course refund you. Send me an email with your information and I'll try my best to send your money back. Were working hard to fix the issue and it will work soon again, if you have the patience to wait that is.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mcramer19:
Wait it out. The dev is working hard and that's wat matters.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
thats great and i appreciate it, but i dont understand...

this isnt just an "issue", it doesnt work at all. How can this just happen with a product you expect people to pay for?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
I dont think there are any issue though. Did you add your feeds into folders in google reader? The columns in HoneyReader is made up of the folders from your google reader account. If you dont have any folders, nothing will show. Its in the app description but maybe its to unclear, we will tend to that. We will also fix so that if you dont have any folders, the news will just show in one column, not a blank page as today, which is of course missleading and not very user friendly.

See attachement.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
that worked great, thanks.

I'd work on the directions, I dont consider myself a complete moron and this was tough for me :)

Is there a way to fit 3 columns on the home screen in landscape? I do now but the far right one is cut off
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
I got all 3 to fit in SMALL mode but its wasting screen space, is there a even setting that makes all 3 fit the whole screen evenly in landscape?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
Can you add the ability to change the font of the folder names and articles?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
Update wishlist:

- Automatic updating?

- Different fonts?

- Additional color schemes

- more size columns to fit different #s in landscape

I left 5 stars in the marketplace for you :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
Thanks :-)

We will make sure to implement youre very nice ideas in future versions
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RoryPG:
Coming along nicely. I could not yet use it because of the Mark as Read feature. The current implementation gets me out of sync with Google Reader.

suggestions:

Labels with small numbers of articles in them:

Mark All Read in label (works when your label has a smallish number of articles in it at one time. )

Labels with so many articles you can't always get to them at once:

Approach #1

Mark All Read as you scroll (allows you to have 1000s of articles in a label and to mark as read as you go, knowing you can't get to all of them as you go.)

Approach #2

Show X (ie. 50,100) per label

Mark X showing as read

This is another way to scroll through 1000s of articles in a label one chunk (X) at a time without having Mark the whole label as read. This is my preferred approach.

Would love if there were another couple of font options such as Arial.

Nice work so far.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] okegesan:
Thanks Png6!!

Bought the application and thought it was broken, but thanks to your instructions Finally got it to work!! Thanks again!

Great App btw

Google account for HoneyReader?

Hi --

This looks like a cool UX for a reader taking advantage of Honeycomb.

I use Google Reader but with a different Google account than I use as my primary account for Market. My Google account I use with Reader I have put into the "Accounts" section of Android Setup.

Are there plans for me to be able to choose this account for HoneyReader to use?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
I think it would be nice to have a "Last Updated: " somewhere too
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ktd:
I just bought HoneyReader but "returned" it almost immediately because I couldn't find a way to select which Google account to sync.

My main Google account isn't the one I use for Google Reader so I must be able to select account.

I might just have missed the option so if I did can you please tell me how to select account?

Appen ser annars riktigt bra ut! :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mcramer19:
I'd really like mark as read as you scroll through like on the google reader website.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kkwus74:
Nice reader but needs mark all as read option.....

[Xoom Themes and Apps] png6:
New update released today with many fixes and some new features:

[Xoom Themes and Apps] gmwright:
I too, would like this option as I use a second account for reading. Please let us know if the option is available before purchasing the app.

Thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rasta321:
In order to use another Google account for reader i removed the other account and open honeyreader and accept rights for the correct account and then re-enter the alternative account....not the best solution but works. Still waiting to be able to flag/star post and i do not think that scrolling read post actually work but loving the app...thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fuyajo:
i like it!

needs a option to chose the google-account to sync with! ;)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] adancau:
Cannot find it in the market in Romania, and I would like to buy it (paid apps have been available for about a week). Could you please add Ro to the list of supported countries? Is it still being developed?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] UserNameComesHere:
still no update on selecting accounts to sync??
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ggibby:
Looks good on Transformer w/ Android 3.1

I'm enjoying the app overall, but since you're asking...

Make sure the widget is resizable

Can 'Mark as read' options be set per-column?

Click through directly to article, then present Sharing options

This one is tough - can the stories be filtered so identical pieces are either removed or combined? This is the holy grail of news readers...

Thanks for the hard work!

While preparing to storm chase last night I started to wonder if there was a way to use my EVO to send GPS coordinates to my radar software on my laptop. Has anyone done something similar to this? I've looked at apps that were supposedly suppose to do this in the past, but was not able to get them to work.

Just wanted to know if anyone else had any experience doing this. I already use wireless tethering for the internet connection now, but it would be great if I could just bring the laptop and phone and have it all covered.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IOInterrupt:
Also, as a side note, I have noticed a handful of apps that will send the data via Bluetooth, but I do not have Bluetooth available on my laptop, so I would prefer to just be able to transmit via USB. I may just have to break down and buy a bluetooth module for my laptop.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
As of right now it seems that this isn't possible. Someone else with a Droid incredible wanted to do the exact same thing. It seems that gps module in the phone isn't capable of sending anything via USB. Maybe Bluetooth would actually work! Here's the read.

I'll admit right off the bat that I'm a gtab newbie... but been in the android scene for about 2 yrs... however, on my droid, I don't have this conundrum.

I installed the Vegan-Tab Gingerbread rom when I first got the gtab (works great by the way!)... now I've just added a 32 gb micro-sdcard... It shows up as sdcard2. Is there any way to merge the sdcard and sdcard2 into "one" available drive?

Just curious.

No there is not. I believe with CM7 rom what is sdcard2 now would be sdcard and sdcard now would be emmc.

Thanks for another ROM to try out.. Looks good.. will flash and post the feedback.. Good luck mate!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ngenhit:
Just coz you cooked directly from stock rom doesn't mean that you didn't have a look ( maybe more than a look) at the Overscroll glow , CRT animation , lockscreen mods that are there. What about those lil credits. They deserve them

But hey, You deserve it too. Nice looking rom!. but the changes are not visible much now i guess. I will have to try it out for checkin it more.

Few questions :

1) why are u having Fugutweaks on?. It's not needed in a 2.3.3 rom. Those 'tweaks' are in fact files from 2.3.3 !!.

2)Where's the JVK Bootloader files ?. I guess it's not there in the flashable zip.

But You need them for GBread to boot and work properly. You haven't mentioned it in the Readme. Do it quickly before someone bugs up their phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ngenhit:
Isn't it written there that its 'WIPE version'.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fairyshacker:
in the above mentioned instructions you didn't mentioned to install stock JVB.....is it not required ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raffaele88:
this is like all the other rom on the web if you coming from froyo you must install first gingerbread from odin with bootloader if you already come from gingerbread you just need to install a cwm and after install the andromeda rom!!and no the andromeda rom does not come with the stock ginger firmware you must get it on the web, download it first and installit with odin!!

and the rom its a wipe version!!if you come from froyo and install ginger with odin its already implement a wipe!! ;)
