Thanks for all the replies guys.

Newsbreak sounds like a good one, but I really need something that has full RSS articles and not just the first section, as I tend to use RSS Feeds which I have manually added and so like to read full articles.

SPB Insight sounds like it's the sort of thing I am after, but it's a commercial product. Not that I am tight or anything, but i would have thought that what I am after would be freely available somewhere. Oh well, guess i wil give the trial a go.

If anyone else has any more good recommendations, they will be very much approeciated.

Thanks,

Munkee

[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
The >absolute< best is Newsgator Go! It syncs with your other Newsgator services, like the free web-based newsreader or their desktop client. At $29.95, I feel it's a bit overpriced, but once you get used to having the status of your RSS subscriptions updated regardless of where you access them, including your phone, you might find it's worth it. Also, if you subscribe to MoDaCo Plus, you get a >ton< of free stuff included in the subscription -- Newsgator Go! is one of the software products you get, along with Papyrus, Resco File Explorer, and a bunch of others.

Has anyone seen an RSS reader which installs a url plugin? E.g. if you click on an RSS xml link in pocket explorer it automatically opens up your RSS reader and offers the option to subscribe to the feed? I'm interested in any ways of launching apps from within pocket explorer actually? e.g. I'd like to launch google maps and display a location marker from pocket IE.

I've tried SPB Insight ... but it works quite slow (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/insight/?en)

Lately I use Egress ... it really does the trick :) (http://garishkernels.net/egress.shtml)

P.S. Both are commercial ... you didn't mention free

[HTC Excalibur] jsavin:
I use Egress as well. While I don't think it's the prettiest, and it sometimes has trouble if you're in an area with spotty connectivity, it seems to be the most ergonomic for browsing through lots of feeds. The latest version also supports synching Newsgator read/unread status.

Not free though.
[HTC Excalibur] pesante:
do you guys have a clue on why both egrees and Insight crash on update?

I've imported my google reader's OPML file

do they need to be installed on device and not on Storage card maybe?

I'm using an Elf with Shadow 2.1 rom

cheers!
[HTC Excalibur] URPREY:
With Sleuth's WM 6.1 ROM, I had to change my Egress Auto Update settings to "when network available". It would crash when I had it set to automatically open a connection.

It's under menu, options, retrieval.

Hope that helps.

The one built into Opera Mini is quite good. One particular feature I like is that it will resize pictures to fit Dash's screen before downloading them - both save bandwidth and make it easier to read.
[HTC Excalibur] agent4777:
I currently use avantgo. It's a no frills rss reader that stores the COMPLETE news article w/o having to connect to the internet to fetch it. It's free and pretty to use. And it uses very little memory ;). After you sign up for an account and set up your RSS feeds log in on your mobile phone and click on the link "Get Faster Avantgo" near the bottom of the page. Voila!

[Galaxy S 5 General] missmonet:
I have the gs3. I love the phone. It is still a good phone just like I miss my old htc evo. I was thinking about upgade to the GS5. What better than specs. The look and feel is the same. I mean the software. It nothing different. What you think pro and cons. im iffy on picking another galaxy or might go back to htc.
[Galaxy S 5 General] GuestD0212:
I understand your situation, I more or less was in the same place as you. I had the HTC one S and it was a great phone, built quality and the ui was superb. I went then to the S3, good phone not as good as the one S( the lag ?) but it had more features.

I went for a upgrade last week and I was in between the One M8 and the S5, the HTC is more snappy and it looks beautiful but then again I choose a galaxy, why? Well.... The features and camera but essentially the removable battery...

I guess in the end you will have to go through the same process and see which features you value more, what fits me may not fit you and I guess there no right or wrong here.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Sensamic:
I have the SGS3 too and am looking to upgrade.

The SGS5 feels more of the same Samsung experience, and I want something better.

I would choose another brand: HTC, Motorola, LG, Sony...

I hate the build quality of the SGS5, the AMOLED screen (I hate saturated colors), the hardware home button and capacitive buttons instead of on screen buttons, the annoying USB flap cover, the chrome bezel that will wear off and look terrible in 2 years just like in my SGS3, TouchWiz is still the worst skin (looks and performance and it takes a LOT of RAM compared to other skins), etc.

I'm looking to buy the X+1 or maybe Moto G2.
[Galaxy S 5 General] 0mega007:
I had the S3 and S4, and now the S5.

I liked each one more than the previous one, and each one had better battery duration than the previous one.

I felt a better upgrate from the S4 to S5 than from the S3 to the S4.

I love the S5 camera, and the samsung software and apps.

I think you will like it a lot, personally i am already wanting the S6, (Hopping for at least 20MP camera, would love more :p), i will keep my S5 as a tablet and spare phone, since i like it a lot.

I use it with touchwiz and havent rooted it yet, i will after i get the S6, since i will only need root for tablet functions i will use.
[Galaxy S 5 General] mngdew:
What are you talking about? GS5 has THE best screen as of today. If you choose the cinema mode, you get perfect color saturation.

If I want to get picky, then here it is...

HTC : hate camera and fugly internal build (they use too much tape)

Moto : also hate camera, old hardware (i don't care how optimized the software is, I'm not paying for old hardware), no sdcard, no removable battery.

LG : too large for my taste.

Sony : hasn't come out for VZW. no removable battery

Plastic body

No waterpoof

Lags

Pros

Thin bezels

OIS

S5 cons:

No OIS

PWM (240 ghz flickering at medium and low brightness) (perhaps fixed in LTE-A)

Not good calibration (In LTE-A almost fixed, in Galaxy Alpha even better than LTE-A)

Plastic body (fixed in Galaxy Alpha)

Oversaturate and rosiness in some situations in camera (fixed in Galaxy Alpha)

pros:

Oled (ideal response time (good in video), ideal black color, ideal contrast, ideal viewing angle, all much better than lcd)

Isocell (better detailing and awesome ideal colors if the firmware is normal (Alpha)

Waterproof
[Galaxy S 5 General] btemtd:
I have both, If you want FLUID, GS5 my S5 is as fluid as hell... Very nice experience, touchwiz is basically the same but speed and zappiness is much better, Screen quality is AMAZING, and camera\video? LOL you will laugh when you compare the S3 with the S5
[Galaxy S 5 General] pr1vate piles:
I was in same place. Felt tired after my S3 with samsung. But in end wasn't impressed with HTC, windows options were pants and apple? Rather eat glass.

Got the S5 and haven't looked back. Faster, better screen and way better battery. As for the size. You quickly get use to it. Fits in my pocket fine. Holding S3 now, just feels tiny.
[Galaxy S 5 General] santa_claws:
I've had the S5 since it came out and upgraded from the S3. The two biggest differences for me are the camera and screen quality. Those two things alone made me satisfied with the upgrade. Its also noticeably faster than the S3 and the water resistance is also nice. I haven't had a chance to play with any of the newer HTC phones so I can't offer any information there but overall I'm happy with the S5.
[Galaxy S 5 General] patriotaki:
I have a sgs3 and the touchwiz is kinda laggy and also the preinstalled apps of samsung. My question is did samsung make any improvement in the touchwiz on kitkat? Did you see any difference? Is it any faster than the s3? Im thinking buying the note 4 but im worried about the touchwiz beeing slow and laggy
[Galaxy S 5 General] santa_claws:
I think touchwiz definitely runs better on the S5 compared to the S3. I also rooted mine soon after buying it and removed most of the preinstalled stuff, so that helped as well.
[Galaxy S 5 General] patriotaki:
How about the gallery app does is it still slow?
[Galaxy S 5 General] diagnosedmanic:
I'm completely in agreement with santa_claws the touchwiz experience is much more fluid. I too graduated from the s2 > s3 > s4 > s5 and with each upgrade I've come to expect more from Samsung. To my surprise they outdid themselves with the s5.

Being a juice freak I am STUNNED at the battery life. The screen display? omg. The camera? Fagetaboutit. Upgrade bro. Trust me. It will alter your view of the universe.
[Galaxy S 5 General] IzZYJr:
+1 :good:
[Galaxy S 5 General] ScotDroid:
I love the S5 camera, and the fact that its waterproof
[Galaxy S 5 General] xaznxplaya:
I had the S3 when it came out 2 years ago, I don't miss it at all. I'm coming from the Nexus 5 which was smooth as hell. You need some light mods on the S5 to make it even. Beside that, it's probably the best device I've owned. Awesome camera, waterproof, got plenty of videos underwater when I was in the south. Good battery life way better than the S3,you have air gesture, etc...
[Galaxy S 5 General] santa_claws:
Yeah the camera and screen are pretty impressive. Before buying the phone I looked at some sample shots and didn't understand what all the hype was about. But then I realized that I was viewing the pics on my S3 with a lower resolution screen, lol. Once I viewed them on a decent quality screen I saw the huge difference.

And you are spot on about battery life. Much improved although I still carry an external battery with me for days of heavy use.
[Galaxy S 5 General] diagnosedmanic:
Lol yes that would definitely play a factor. Shoot I went a step further, I force fit an extended battery with an otterbox Defender case by cutting out a portion of the hard plastic. Works great and battery life is outstanding!
[Galaxy S 5 General] santa_claws:
I usually carry the external to charge my other devices (bluetooth headphones, tablet) but thats only when I have my bookbag with me. For the times I'm without my bag I like your idea. Would you mind posting your battery stats with your setup? Maybe I'll give it a try.
[Galaxy S 5 General] diagnosedmanic:
I'd happily post it although I recently went through a mishap manually debloating my device. I cannot recall what I removed specifically but getting a strange error when I open the stock dialer app or receive a call. ie "unfortunately .com.android.systemui has stopped." It's a bummer mostly because now I've noticed a slight decrease in battery life and there's a slight lag with video applications. I need to debug the system but lack the time to follow through. I'll be sure to post a few screenshots of the specs when it is complete.

I hated carrying an external, It's actually why I chose to fit it with the extended/defender case. To give you an idea of battery life previous to the mishap I could go a full 24 hours on 4g/gps and game play. Definitely an improvement over the stock battery life.
[Galaxy S 5 General] kingofthebraves:
The s5 the best display in the market right now. Performance wise it's comparable to the note 3. TouchWiz is fluid on all new flagship Samsung phones as long as you disable stuff you don't need like svoice and my magazine
[Galaxy S 5 General] santa_claws:
I've done the same thing when removing apps. Now I usually just rename them before deleting. That way I can quickly fix the problem from the recovery file mgr. Im thankful for recovery, you can fix almost anything!
[Galaxy S 5 General] patriotaki:
I went to a store today and tried out the gs5 I have to say its very fast. But it still has a delay when opwnning contacts
[Galaxy S 5 General] mortuus82:
Yes true and the camera is very good too, g3 is bad phone lg just dont make good software for their phones too.. and s5 is water and dust proof so thats good too overall the s5 u will have a better user experience then a g3 it has too many flaws they always rush out their phones like 2X they did... and customer pay the price for buggy phone...
[Galaxy S 5 General] kornfed:

Did you end all running tasks on the device in the store and what rom did it have? I`am on stock but have no lag at all tbh. You can`t form an opinion by pushing a few buttons ;)
[Galaxy S 5 General] azyounes:
:good:
[Galaxy S 5 General] Mithrandir007:
Just wondering: which "light mods" are you using?

Not that I have anything to complain about with the smoothness of the S5, but I'm always interested in trying other mods and compare :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] Sensamic:
Well, I came from the SGS3 too and the difference is big.

Before buying I thought I didn't need all these improvements, but now I can't see myself going back to the SGS3.

The SGS5 is fast and fluid, great battery, amazing camera, amazing screen, excellent GPS and cell reception, etc.

It's a great phone. I'm VERY happy I upgraded :good:
[Galaxy S 5 General] poczynek:
The s5 is such a great phone hey?
[Galaxy S 5 General] startas:
Well, all smartphones sucks at battery life. S5 is good phone in general, but Samsung really takes their time to release updates, so you will have tons of bugs for months, then they will release last update or just will drop support without any more updates, or you will go with aosp ROMs with much less features. Also, s5 has a hotdragon CPU, so it can get really hot. I would recommend going with s6 if money is not a problem, or try looking at similar phones, like Motorola x 2014 and so on.
[Galaxy S 5 General] guta12:
i think tha s5 is better

lg g3s recived android lollipop?
[Galaxy S 5 General] !crazy:
Do you mean galaxy S3(is it LTE edition with 2Gb of RAM?) or LG phone, like some other here suggest?

If you are satisfied with you S3, stay with it. Why would you upgrade? New phones pop up all the time!

It really depends on what are you into.

For me personally, I upgrade because I have opportunity to get new phone for free (company's phone). Otherwise, when I compare differences between them, and if I had to give my money, I would stay with S3 (but I had i9305 which has 2 GB o RAM, what makes a difference.). For you maybe the ram is not that important. If you do not multitask a lot, 1 GB is usually Ok.

Now, let's talk about camera, newer is almost always better, but how better, and does it matter to you? For me camera of S3 was enough. Screen and resolution, IMO it is hard to see any real benefit from full HD resolution over 720p. These phones also have different sizes. S3 and S4 feel so much better when I hold them in my hand. Colors are also better on S5, but for me, and most of people (If they would be honest to them self) these are almost irrelevant differences. Again for me the look of S5 is a bigger issue than that (it is taller and heavier to operate with one hand. But Ok, I can live with this too, I had a note 3 and 2 also, and I liked them).

Blah, blah, really just ignore trends, commercials etc. Try to f8bd someone who has the phone, or try it in a shop to see how it feels, and than decide is that worth of paying that much.

Me personally, if I would have to pay for the phone by myself, u would probably go with Motor G. I have bought one to my mother, before that first edition to my brother, and they were OK for me.

Also maybe check ZenFone 2 from Asus. There are 3 different versions, all quite cheap for performance they offer (thanks to young 14 year old boys, who risk their lives by collecting expensive minerals in fast and dangerous rivers, and who knows whom else...).
[Galaxy S 5 General] aliyangohar4:
I'm not impressed with the S4,S5,S6 however the S3 was and is a terrific device.I'd however go with a Nexus, G3,G4 or a Motorola or HTC
[Galaxy S 5 General] jm_38:
Hi! I just moved from S3 to S5. Here my comments. Overall the S5 is much much quicker and the bigger display brings a better viewing experience for web pages, movies, games... It is a matter of taste of courses but having used a galaxy note for a few weeks I can tell that for me S5 display size is perfect. Can still be operated with one hand.

I do not see what the IR blaster, pulse measure and fingerprint reader really bring in terms of user experience so they do not bring any added value vs the S3.

For the camera I find it is a mixed bag!

S3 camera is snapper than the S5 and has quite enough pixels (I blog a lot and I usually have to downsize S5 images before posting). Image low light quality of the S5 is better but it is not that much.

What I really dislike about the S5 camera is the fact the camera full field of view (widest angle) is achieved only in 16/9 which is good for movie recording but useless for picture taking.

So I would not revert to the S3 mainly because the quicker processor & bigger memory is really needed now that all android applications tend to be bigger and bigger. Typically running chrome on the S3 can become really cumbersome.

For me another reason to stick to Samsung (before the S6) is the fact you can still replace batteries in samsung phones which in my case happens after 1, 1.5 years of usage.

Hi all,

Got mine (stock rom) at 360 at the moment, but this also means that the lock screen is shifted left, not center aligned any more.

Dear All,

I'm good with computers; but, on mobiles I'm a newbie. I want to install a custom ROM on my Note 3. However, my search has left me more confused with all these different devices, model names, methods, ROMs and other factors. I would appreciate if someone can guide me to do the following:

1. I want to backup my device so that I can return my device to its original state if I need to. What software would do it?

2. I understand that I need to unlock the boot ROM and it would void my warranty. How to do it. What software are required.

3. I want to install X-Note custom ROM if possible.

Please let me know all the tools required and show the order in which they need to be executed. Please find attached my device info.

If this type of requests are not allowed here, please excuse me and delete this thread.
