I've just noticed that my posts were coming up with "XDA Windows Mobile" not the "FbTab", it appears when doing some tests ages ago for joe_coolish I forgot to put the application ID back (in fact I had to recover the files so I guess I picked up the test version)!

In true facebook security tradition, I was able to still use his authorisation on my application simply because I'd authorised his app previously (note: I only used the public ID of his app).

Could easily do the same with any other application a user has authorised on facebook even if they have blocked mine! THAT is secure isn't it!

Not only can I use the application id to post/access a users data but I can use all the permissions the other app has, regardless of what permissions I ask for.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Right! Fixed the authorisation, should be back to using my FbTab application (at the moment I think this just applies if you've authorised via the RSSTab rather than the FbTab) - but I think it should work normally if you use either anyway.

Did loads of testing and coding to try to get the encoding issue sorted out for non-utf-8 feed updates...unfortunately no breakthrough quite yet (I have a suspicion of the answer but I don't fancy re-writing the code at the moment just to find out it's not). I think I'll return to them another time. I'll be focusing on getting the general feed updates working 100% and then I'll switch back to that after (it'll be easier to deal with if I am happy with the downloads).

Once again, I'll finish off the bits I'm working on and release another beta, and then I can tackle the other waiting items in a later build. Development time will be tight for a little while, so bare with me.

As always, thank you for your support.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mike2nl:
Hi meltwater, i have now three weeks of free time and so i can work a little bit more here on XDA ;-), a little bit is very funny. I hope the next step will be the online theme changing.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Excellent.

I'm just having a play around with this at the moment:

poyensa - [CHTwidget]Picture Frame Widget

Making progress with the RSSTab:

1) Updating feeds from the tab is working ok at the moment (although still need to get the Encoding issue resolved...shouldn't take long when I find the right method).

2) A few changes regarding the Facebook authorisation, bit of a mess-up due to picking the wrong backup to work from, but should resolve it in next beta.

3) Still looking at improvements to the facebook views (made some improvements but hope to support/show more).

4) URL catching and sending to default browser is getting there (using a dodgy workaround so will see how well it works), just need to finish off.

5) Lots of other bits I want to do, but will see. Things like special tab view for facebook (showing facebook photos etc) I hope to do, although, will need to gauge how many people want to use the tab for this.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Feeling a little jet lagged today, keen to do some updates on the software but will see if I am up to it later on.

Hopefully will be able to sit in the bar with my laptop and get some things ticked off my to do list.

Oh and added a poll! So vote away!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sharkie405:
LOL

I like the "I don't (use the RSS Tab) but I like it anyway" option in the poll.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Yep, don't want to leave anyone out! :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Hi all,

Sorry about the lack of updates, but I've been unable to do development work. I'm away on business at the moment and as it works out it's not that easy to sit down and work on this between work. Don't worry normal "service" will return at some point, I'll keep you posted.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Software Development] User_99:
Thx for the update. Take the time you need for "real live" and bring us some really great new things for RSStab later :D *joking*

Version 4 works like a charm for dayly use...:p
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Right, back from my work trip, will see if I can get back into daily life and see if I can tidy up the dev version of the tab I'm using enough to make it to the next beta.

After that I may spend some time working on some android stuff, it's something I want to get my skills up to speed with and quite frankly, I want to be able to make some apps which do things the way I'd like rather than how they are at the moment.

There's some good apps out there, but a lot just don't seem to have any depth to them.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] illi:
That sounds great, the Android, that is:D I am contemplating getting an Ideos for a start since it is quite cheap.

Good luck:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
I'd recommend something with an A8 rather than Arm11 chip if you can stretch to it (they are getting cheaper now the Tegra[2 new generations of] devices are getting more common). I have a very cheap Arm11 tablet which is fine for programming with (why I got it) but with a faster processor it would be 10x more useful.

At least with the RSSTab, I do use it everyday for Podcasts, so there is still the need for me to continue to work on it. It's probably the primary use of my phone (and that includes making calls - which I hardly do).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] illi:
I'll compare; if the Tegra is available in my country.

Thanks for the info
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
The Nvida's tegra2 (sorry forgot there was Tegra1 which wasn't too popular) processor is the next gen on again from Arm A8, it's excellent (dual core A9 but more expensive again obviously). Just a case of matching what you have to spend and what your intended use will be I suppose.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Will be back on to the RSSTab very soon. Just working on the CHT Picture Frame Widget at the moment:

The image resizing code I am writing there will be used in the RSSTab (I used similar code to make the icons on the list load faster - but at the moment it would fail for large images, something I've not seen yet on the tab but no doubt it'd happen one day).

CHTwPictureFrame.v1.60 - Released!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Rataplan:
Hi meltwater,

First of all thanks for the amazing job you did.

I have a problem with RSS Feed Release 4.Beta.0

Be aware I didn't readback if this problem is mentioned before.

I have a rom based on 23568 with "Voda_Manila_Home 2_5_20221228_0" and RSS Feed Release 4.Beta.0. cooked in.

1. Loading the quicklist is ok.

2. Tapping an item is ok.

3. Tapping "Read More Online" in the item gives a scrambled screen.

See pictures below.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Thanks for the clear report. I don't think I've seen anything quite like that so far. I'm currently changing this code for links so that external browsers are used, hopefully that will solve your issue. I'll keep an eye out for your issue too.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Hi all,

RSSTab is back in the firing line...yes I know long time no C#...groan...

Just a random thought...how does an option to send images from the RSSFeed to the new Sense CHT Picture Frame Widget sound?

I'm not going to implement it yet, since as you all know there is plenty of other things to do, but wondering if such a feature would be useful or not? Particularly linked in with Facebook albums maybe...

It is certainly possible (case of resizing and saving the images somewhere and changing some registry keys).

At the moment I am keen to get this Beta tidied up so I can make a start on Landscape support and the Facebook view. My plan for the landscape view is to make it easier to read from a distance than the portrait view (i.e. suited for podcasts etc), but I'll try to ensure that font sizes etc are set within the theme file, so there is choice there too. I shall also attempt to sort out lower resolution support too (although that is a difficult one). All that is on my to do list for 4.beta.2, so after the next one (since sense is far too easy to break).

I've started keeping a Development Road Map so hopefully it should help with keeping things focused in a particular direction.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Rataplan:
Hi meltwater, just wanna let you know that we found out where my issue came from, it's quite simple, 23568 is using a completely different font, and that's all.

Thanks to Laurentius26, who pointed me to the right direction.

Keep up the good work,

Greetz,
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
No problem, a heads up is always welcome, if the tab needs any adjustments to work with it then let me know.

Donation Thank You!

I've used some of the kind donations to go towards replacing my wifi router. As you may know I've been having network issues with my development laptop which was making it hard to do coding (as I need to search for code solutions as well as keep up to date on Xda etc). I did some investigating last night and my old router I think has been swamped by the local routers, so need to man it up a little. So thank you for the donations, and I am pleased that I am able to use them to indirectly benefit the project.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Update News:

Did some coding last night, and completed another item off the to-do list. I'll avoid starting any new items, and get this ready for release...fingers crossed for this week!!!

I've been putting the finishing touches to the build, should be fine for packing and releasing tomorrow...

Another update...

Right, well just to be down with what da kids are into and all that...I bring you info on Google+ RSS Feeds!

lifehacker - Create RSS Feeds for Google+ Profiles

Basically a case of finding the profile ID and adding it to http://plusfeed.appspot.com/:

http://plusfeed.appspot.com/111668640050600254907

Simples! Yes, RSS Feeds are just great period.

I've added this, and the other "Social Casting" RSS Feeds to my "[Q] Can you recommend some good RSS feeds?" thread.

You can now set up feeds, for Facebook, Twitter and Google+.

You'll need to create/setup some rss feeds within RSSHub.

See the link for details on the standard facebook feeds:

re

hay Meltwater see you in my post please. i have a problem with your rss tab in may kitchen

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16364260&postcount=1606

thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
This should apply equally to the RSSTab and the FbTab I think...(which use similar but slightly different code).

My first question is, what is your language code your device is set to?

If the language is not supported:

- The RSSTab should populate the language IDS values in english US - as I created templates for them all

- But I think the FbTab won't (many of the translations will already exist though for the sense side, so you'd probably have to change the setting for the tab).

To change the language setting, select the IDS_ADVANCED submenu and you will see a combo-box which lists all the languages, and select one of the supported ones (i.e. US English).

Hopefully that will solve your issue, otherwise please post more detail about it and I can help more.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] -pixelfreak-:
re

hello when I see what language is used in the code handy? I have all the packs in 0409 wwe in my kitchen. fb tab starts but en-gb and not en-us. if I switch to the menu en-us everything is okay

thanks pixelfreak
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Not sure I understand correctly your issue...so sorry if I've missed your issue.

Note that the language for your device is defined in two places, one for sense and one for the operating system. The tab uses the sense one for the native sense part of the application and the operating system one for the settings etc.

It all gets a bit complex since sense also loads in translations from other tabs which if the names match they also get used (so some sense items will be translated even without a valid file).

Under the advanced settings on the tab, the default device language (for the OS) is shown "Use device language (en-us)". Depending on which files you've included this may or may not be valid (although I think I default to en-us anyway if the file is not found).

The fbTab language files are listed here (Facebook):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5959237&postcount=4

[I can't remember quite what happens here - has been a long time, but I expect En-Gb is the original default]

The rssTab language files are listed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7746495&postcount=7

[This works slightly differently since if the file is not there, it should default to en-us]

Ensure they are in the windows folder and ideally of the latest version (the cab files should include all the available ones).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] light_n_roses:
Hi meltwater !

I was following this guide here to set facebook functionality on the rss tab but I have no "manege rss feeds " opion under the menu ...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
I've said already.

This is a donate feature since it is experimental and changes the RSShub data.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] light_n_roses:
ah sorry !! I haven't understood this the first time I have red it...I see with the no donate version I can only set the rss code from facebook and not the engine of the tab itself..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
As it happens, the it-it language file is in need up-dating (as you pointed out)... Currently at Rev 1 (+fb) so you are more than welcome to earn a donation through translating.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
That would be it, but it will depend on your devices language setting (shown on the advanced page). Note, those files should be cooked/installed into your windows directory.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] -pixelfreak-:
re

No you do not. my device has the local english language setting en-gb. and I am en-gb en-us, and Manila in the Windows directories are, but I still have settings in the translation error. IDS_ .... IDS_NO_AUTH

pixelfreak
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Ok. Just trying to think of the most common reasons I can think of. Clearly it works for others so there is something not quite right, but I am not a cook so I can only look at it from one side.

1. Do you have this issue with both RSSTab and FbTab?

2. Do any of the translations work for the settings?

3. Are the translations within sense ok? i.e. The left/right soft buttons etc.

4. Does it work if you install the cab instead?

If you can answer the questions I can focus the answers/suggestions a little.

Anyone else have any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] -pixelfreak-:
re

The RSS tab's okay. Facebook has only the tab key under Menu - Settings (IDS_NO_AUTH) and then in the setting menu. if I have the cab file to install I have no errors. I noticed when I tab in the setting of local text and go from there under local en-gb en-us to imagine everything is okay. I do not know what can be. BibT it for each language only a manila file?

pixelfreak
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Laurentius26:
Did you set the correct language file in the registry?

The Facebook tab works different as the RSS tab.

You need to search for the specific manila language file depending on the language you like to use.

This is the registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]

"Facebook.LangFile"="5470ce36_manila"
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
I'll have a think about what it could be. There should be a ext file for the fbtab, is that of any help? All I can say is make sure all the files and reg keys which are in the cab file get put in the right places when you cook, and that files are not being over-written by others during the cooking process.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] -pixelfreak-:
re

when I press the "Facebook.LangFile" = "35452D58_manila" or "Facebook.LangFile" = "5470CE36_manila" insert I still have the IDS errors. I've found in Manila following net: 7825aca6_manila, 40d6f504_manila but change nothing on the error.

these are the only entries that I have found it if you could build me a software fix is really great because the user already asking about the new rom version. once more to understanding. in the kitchen somewhere in my pack which is locally en-gb sets. if I knew where I would put it in such a way that the rom is running from the start with en-us.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Still not sure what the issue is, but I know there is a ext located on the FbTab for cooking so perhaps if you are having issues you should use that. As mentioned by the others, all you should then need to do is ensure the lang registry value is set if you want to define a particular default language. That tab has been cooked many times by others, so it does work for them.

Unfortunately, I know very little about cooking so I can't help more than that.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] User_99:
Nice job!

Unfortunately no fb account :D

UPDATE: Small changes in the German language file :cool:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] light_n_roses:
Hi meltwater !

I'm using the rss tab but it doesn't automatic updates it self, the rss application automatic download data but the tab doesn't updated itself...

By the way I hope that you can realese an updated version of the facebook tab with those new functionality so I could make a small donation !
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Automated updating may be added once feed updates are considered reliable and can correctly handle language encoding issues.

There will be no update for the facebook tab, there is too much to do to add similar functionality, and it makes more sense to skin the RSSTab to suit or allow multiple RSSTabs with themes if required (far more flexible solution).

At the moment, I've not got time to work on this (my real work is hyper busy) so there will be a gap before I can get back into the code again. The latest build appears to be quite stable and use able, there are always a few features which will need updating and adding which are in the road map for 4.Beta.2

As always, when there is news on what I am doing I'll let you all know!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] light_n_roses:
sure I wasn't talking about an updated of the facebook tab, I was talking about make a version of the rss tab which only have facebook engine and is themed with facebook color..just that !
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Fair enough. Will have a tinker with the theme files and see what i can come up with (shouldn't be a big job since it's just changing a few files around).

Note, obviously the display of the feeds won't match the FbTab yet, that is a bit more of a complicated change to the Sense code.

Will let you know when it is available.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] light_n_roses:
any news ?!?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Facebook Styled Theme.

Note:

I've not been able to test it since my Windows Mobile device has now been retired.

Any problems let me know, I've based the theme on the previous templates so hopefully it shall work.

Remember to restore using the Default theme if the tab is not cooked in and also fully reset sense if it does not apply following a softreset.
