Sure, the background service thing would be (if even implemented) a optional setting.

You can customize the themes yourself. Just look into the /themes/ folder and open the desired zip file. You'll find a .properties file and a mipmap.png. Just change them as you like. If you made something cool, share it ;)

Thanks a lot for the input. If you volunteer to translate into italian, please pm me your gmail address. Vadim and me are already sharing a translation file in docs.google.com :o) My italian is to rusty to make a good translation.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mightycoco:
Yes, that's one of the things i have to think about... As I'm subscribed to a lot of US based feeds, I'd get my notifications at night. Not that desirable, too ;)

Thanks a lot! Didn't expect anything like that :)

I have android in dual boot on my HD2. However, I didn't like it. MS never gave any UI Guidlines for <= WM6 but everyone tries to stick on the Manila UI (or Metro) but on Android every app looks different. There are even a lot of iPhone-Stylish apps. Something I really cannot accept ;)

But I'm happy to sweeten your last weeks on WM mobile! :)

cheerz,

Short update:

I found some major issues when the html renderer is loading images and you swipe to the next / previous feed entry while not all images are loaded. The app will simply crash then with an object disposed exception.

As well i had some minor things fixed in the list view regarding the effects. nothing which would prevent the app from running, but the tiles and list items sometimes looked strange while being animated.

I'll put a new (pure) bug-fix version online today or tomorrow morning.

And I'll include a blue theme. (And the black theme has it's green info text back ;o)

cheerz,

Themes properties

I created attached theme called "Simples" (for those who do not live in the UK you might understand the name if you visit the site of Simples) which is based on the old Simple Black with Green text but includes new rows for tileBackgroundColor & htmlLinkColor.

'NEW "Simples" theme.properties 2010.12.13

backgroundColor=0,0,0
foregroundColor=255,255,255
intermediateColor=44,44,44
infoColor=139,193,71
separatorColor=90,90,90
tileBackgroundColor=49,162,222
htmlLinkColor=220,220,255

Just copy the attached Simples.zip into your /themes/ folder and select it from the Settings: Themes. It is not "cool" but like silviaccio1, I prefer it.

Looking forward to the new version - hopefully with large body text font option please :->

Cheers

Szczepanik,

just great! You really translate Skin to Pelle? Funny :D

I'll implement the locale into the next version.

cheerz,

MC
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Szczepanik:
To skin or not to skin ... that is the question

As I said it "may need small corrections". Wikipedia has

"In informatica, una skin (dall' inglese, 'pelle') è un file" so although the Italian word "pelle" does mean skin, it may be that the English word "skin" is more appropriate in this context. Now I have completed the translation in a working format, I leave it to silviaccio1 to advise.

Cheers

version 1.10.12.18

MC Thanks for this update. It is much more stable but unfortunately there are a few minor things.

1 Simple Blue.zip theme file was in wrong folder - need to move to themes

2 Could not see Subscriptions

3 Mark all as read seems to cause error on exit (see attachment)

4 Refresh was inconsistent

Good news is transitions are smoother, internal browser pages work well and allow one to see all the feed.

Appreciate your work on this.

Cheers

Tom
[Windows Mobile Software Development] markpud:
I was just coming to give my feedback too.. the transition between articles is smoother and they look nicer (I think you increased the spacing more, or smoothed the font?).. but the longest articles still get truncated! Is there any way you could repeat the articles title at the bottom of long posts, so I don't have to scroll back to the top to click through and read the rest? :)

Re tiled reading list.. I think it looks nice but I've turned off the images - they look great but it made my device really unresponsive while it was downloading them, which took a minute or 2 to clear up.. but I know i have an old device so hopefully it works better for ppl with HD2 etc..

Cheers, Mark

Re: Double tap to change font size in the html renderer

MC this font-size factor is still not working again in version 1.10.12.18. Please see attached screen shots from your pointCODE feed for tiny Google Reader (your are being modest as this does not show an author). Note I am using updated "Simples" skin with a light blue for hyperlinks.

1. Shows pointCODE Subscriptions feeds [pointCODE.jpg] although the 4 row selection menu takes up a lot of screen real estate - can we go back to two rows please?)

2. Shows tiny Google Reader RSS feed summary in "normal" font [FeedNormal.jpg] although you might note how tight the text is to the left hand side - a small margin would be nice.

3. Shows tiny Google Reader RSS feed summary in "large" font [FeedLarge.jpg] but all that happens is the title is larger and the line / character spacing is wider. I cannot see 1.2 font-size factor on the body text.

4. Shows internal HTML renderer displaying your web site page in "normal" font [ArticleNormal.jpg] although you might note how tight the text is to the left hand side - a small margin would be nice.

5. Shows internal HTML renderer displaying your web site page in "large" font [ArticleLarge.jpg] although all that is happening is the line and character spacing is increased so we no longer see the last line: "tiny Google reader ist the perfect".

What would be perfect is to have back the 1.2 font-size factor in both the RSS feed summary [FeedLarge.jpg] and the internal browser [ArticleLarge.jpg].

I have to agree with MarkPud on this. Please could you repeat the article title as a hyperlink at the bottom of all posts? And another vote to put the padlock icon to mark the item as unread next to star on the first row as well.

Cheers

Tom
[Windows Mobile Software Development] silviaccio1:
Actually the translation was funny and unusual, but is literally correct.

However I think it would be preferable to translate it to 'Tema' (that is the literal translation of 'theme'). Otherwise 'Skin' can be leaved.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Lifear:
is it possible to make a skin, where you cann add background images to the ListItems of the Listview? I would like to have some more color, like other apps and there ListView element.

Is it possible to make the wordbreak bevor the arrow icon in the ListView of subject of the article?

it wqould be great, when there was a description about all the possibilits with the skin/theme...

Grazie (thank you). Attached updated file. Simply remove '.txt' extension.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] link68759:
I use google reader mostly for comics; and this app seems to reduce the size of some images, making them unreadable. Could there be an option to load full images? or zoom in on them?

Other than that, my only other problem is the keyboard SIP icon shows up; it goes away when the keyboard is toggled.

Beautiful app!

I Recently flashed HARDSPL, RADIO and ROM, also put android on it.

Then I flashed back to stock. Before I flashed I backup up all my contacts and messages.

Well after flashing back to stock all my messages seem to be muddled up.

Even when I reply to a text now, it shows I sent it before I got the actual message.

Any way to sort this out, it is kinda annoying.

Thank you in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Scooby Ian:
Hi

I have taken the step to root my desire handset using Unrevoked3 but have now come to the start of my problems.

I have downloaded many roms and tried to load them to the phone using the step by step methods posted with each rom, the phone fails to load any of the new roms I have downloaded and is dissplaying the following messages each time:

E:signature lengh doesn't match Eoco marker

E:signature verification failed

installation aborted

Bad

My phone details are as follows:

Firmware: 2.1-update 1

Kernal: 23.44.00.32u_5.09.0530_2 ~ htc-kernal@and 18-2#1

Build: 1.15.405.4 CL155070 release-keys

HBoot: 0.80.0000

Radio: 5.09.05.30_2

If anyone is able to offer any help it would be most helpfull.

If I wanted to unroot the phone and return it to a stock HTC build can I just install the Android 2.2 software update? I have tried to load a pre Froyo upadate but because the Hboot version on my phone is 0.80 it fails to install because you can't for some reason downgrade the Hboot.

The Froyo update has a Hboot of 0.90 so is it ok to download and install this to return the phone to stock HTC OS?

Sorry if this post isn't in the correct location.

Ian

[General Questions and Answers] AndroHero:
what recovery are you using? that error is just because the rom isnt signed.....
[General Questions and Answers] Scooby Ian:
I'm new to rooting so please bare with me, the recovery is clockwork I beleave? it's the recovery system installed by Unrevoked3.

I can confirm I have super user permissions and the rooting completed ok with the unrevoked 3 software.

I don't think I'm technically inclinded enough to get to grips with running roms and messing about with rooting.

If you don't mind helping with easy to follow tips it would be most appreciated.

I think if it's possible to return my phone to stock HTC software it would better, I should have looked into the loading roms side of the rooting before jumping in to messing about with the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] AndroHero:
in clockwork mod there is an option to toggle signature varification, switch that off and flash again :D
[General Questions and Answers] Scooby Ian:
I have tried that I'm sorry to say and the flash still fails to install? I must be doing something wrong, I can't beleave that all the Rom's I havetried to install fail.

:confused:

I don't really know what to do next, I have even been in contact with HTC about returning the phone and have them reflash the origional software:eek:

The phone was on Orange uk but I ended up getting a code to unlock it, the next thing that bugged me was the pre installed software that Orange install as part of the os hence the rooting to debrand, now I can't even get any room to flash to the rooted phone.
[General Questions and Answers] shoemeistah:
Have you already downloaded rom manager from the market to make an ext on sd card? Or have you tried to load in amon ra recovery?

Sent from my HTC
[General Questions and Answers] Scooby Ian:
When loading the roms all I have done is copy them right onto the memory card and then used clockworkmod to try to install the update rom?

I didn't know you needed to make an ext [partition]?? on the sd card?

I did install rom manager .. but wasn't aware what the software is supposed to be used for?

I don't now what amon ra is or how you use it?

I hope I can get the phone to except thr loading of custom roms I like the idea of being able to totally control what software is installed to the phone and also giving some of the really good looking Roms listed on Xda a try.

Thank you for your help

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] j0shtalgia:
Back when I had my Fuze and got started in scene of modifying my phones XDA proved to be a stellar resource. I tossed donations out to those that helped me. Oli and cmonex for HardSPL, Doug for blownfuze.org (I have my tilt2 now you bastard, update your frickin' site! j/k - I know you've had a hell of a lot on your plate), That dude whose name I can't remember that makes the RRE ROMs, the first one I flashed to my Fuze and loved. Maybe a couple of others along the way.

Granted it wasn't much. $5, $10, $20...whatever. But you all helped make an otherwise "Meeeh" phone into something that I really enjoyed, and that made all the difference!

At any rate, to get on with the point of the thread. This past year has been a bit of a financial struggle for me, and will continue to be I'm sure. I still flash new ROMs regularly but I do so with a tincture of guilt knowing that I'm not really in a position to give back to those that are giving their time and knowledge for the benefit of others.

One thing that I am able to offer, though, is FTP through my domain. I've got unlimited diskspace and unlimited bandwidth. I can set you up with a subdomain on my domain which is e-nanigans.com....so it'd be whateveryouwant.e-nanigans.com. Upload files. Make a webpage if you want, I don't care.

I know most people go through sites that some folks might deem a bit of a hassle. Waiting 60 seconds, throttled downloads. ads.....etc.

I'd like to extend this offer to folks that are actually going to use it, though. So if you're a chef that's developing things for XDA on a regular basis and want somewhere that's hassle free to put your files drop me a line.

A big thanks to all of you that make this community what it is.

Cheers gang,

Josh
[Desire General] Dragooon123:
Now that the Desire HD and Desire Z are out, are you guys upgrading? For me, I just got the Desire a week ago and won't be upgrading for a while. The phone's good enough for me, don't want the bigger screen or the physical keyboard.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Seeing as most UK contracts are 18-24 months and the Desire has been out for 6 months I doubt anyone will be due an upgrade anytime soon...Some might buy SIM free but I won't (unless I can wrangle a free upgrade again)
[Desire General] iouk:
I'll be sticking with my desire for a long while yet. It's a great handset. I know the specs of the HD are mouthwatering but not enough to make me part with the amount of cash they'll be asking for them.
[Desire General] Biornus:
I rather want the 6 month old Desire that I have than the Desire HD. I love my Desire except for the design of the phone and the battery. Desire HD doesn't offer a significant buff to either of those two things.
[Desire General] olipheus:
I'm too happy with the Desire to risk changing. The HD might have a bit better specs, but not that much. And besides, the batterytime on the HD must be crap...

Keeping my Desire until a Tegra2 phone with android shows up :)
[Desire General] sorch:
I'll be sticking with the Desire - the hardware is only a tiny step up, and most of its features are in software anyway.
[Desire General] cez10:
still got about 12months of contract left so i guess i will stick to my desire, cuz its an amazing phone :) + the hd is too big
[Desire General] MrUsta:
Also sticking to my Desire.

HD is too large for me and Z has a physical keyboard I don't like.

Besides, Snapdragon 2 is kind of evolution, not a revolution, so I'll wait for next gen platforms, possibly Tegra 2.
[Desire General] ijob:
I got my desire this week. am happy apart from the lack of storage for apps. am waiting in anticipation for custom roms that include a released desire HD rom!
[Desire General] DavieMarshall:
Sticking with my Desire. The Desire HD is a big pay out for little improvement. My loyalties at the moment lie with Android as a superior OS to iOS4. I could be tempted away when we see what Samsung might reveal in the next twelve months to succeed the Galaxy S.
[Desire General] /rant/:
I'll stick with my beloved Desire. I don't want a keyboard, and I won't buy a phone with an HD suffix unless it's really HD. And when I hear HD, i have a screen resolution of 1280x720 or more. Yeah, I want that on a 3.7" screen. I don't want bigger screens, but higher resolutions ;)
[Desire General] shadow#:
All I wanted from the beginning was a keyboard...

But 4 rows of keys really suck and are a big step backward, so I'll probably stick with my Desire.
[Desire General] Ne0n4t3:

You guys made me feel better about my decision to dump Galaxy S and get Desire last week :P
[Desire General] chichoko:
Glad we made it :D I never regreted buying it.. except when I stare at those two damned scratches I have on my screen -.- I so miss the gorilla glass of the Samsung Galaxy S or the tempered glass of the iPhone.. but i think ill probably buy a new digitizer some day eventually...

As for the main question of the thread... ill keep mine aswell.. unless i convince some relative of mine to buy the HD on contract and i trade mine for his :p
[Desire General] kekkle:
I'm not. Got my Desire in June. I paid a little extra to get a 1-year contract instead of 2. Cause I know my Desire will not keep up with the real big boys for 2 full years.

I love my Desire right now and I'm sure I'll get the new HTC Sense officially or not.

The only thing I do think is that in the beginning I found my Desire huge. Now I find it quite small and kinda curious to how a 4.3" phone would be like.
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
I'm sticking with my Desire. Couldn't really care about the other 2, I have everything I want with this phone. All good features from those 2 will undoubtedly be ported to this, plus the fact we have a better screen is a no brainer. This is the best phone I've played on IMHO.

[Desire General] tommo123:
next nov i think when i upgrade (18 months is up).

cant wait to see what's out then. 4.3" minimum next time for me though. desire is about as small as i'd like to go. the dell streaks 5" isn't too big for me.

5" samoled or better maybe for next xmas? dual or quad snappies?
[Desire General] owziee:
Sticking to my Desire aswell... The small improvements in the HD doesn't make it worth upgrading imo, also I think the 3.7" screen on the Desire is a perfect size. Bigger than the iphone display and the phone slips into my pockets easily.
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
Ditto with not upgrading to the Desire HD or Z. They're very impressive and lustworthy devices. But I think it's hard to justify upgrading within the same generation of devices.

(I'm sure everyone agrees that the Legend, Desire, Desire HD, Desire Z, Evo4G, Droid Incredible, Aria, Wildfire, and Nexus One are all under the same generation of devices?)

Besides, there's so many things to look forward to for next generation of devices. I think it would be smart to hold off and wait it out...

1. Dual-core mobile CPUs as the norm for high-end devices.

2. Next Android version. Sure, Froyo is still relatively new; but murmors of Gingerbread are getting louder by the day.

3. There was some news I read on engadget earlier that Sony was working with Google to work on a gaming platform for Android. It'll be intersting to see how that plays out.

4. WindowsPhone7. I think it's only fair that we all give this a look before deciding that we're all devoted to Android going forward. (Remember back when this forum was exclusively a Window Mobile place? Ah, those were good times...)
[Desire General] nawoa:
Well let me see, I just got mine a month ago since Canada's telecomm industry is in the dark ages still...

But even if that wasn't the case, I really love this phone and with Cyanogenmod at my disposal there's really not a lot I'd want to change about it.

The screen's as big as you can go without it being a bulge in your pocket, the new SLCD screen's amazing, the processor's nice and fast, reception's been good everywhere I've taken it, and the need for a hardware keyboard is largely negated by Swype for typing and the OJ for emulators/games (IMHO).

The next big thing that will get me to upgrade my phone will be dramatically lower-power processors and screens, and/or more advanced batteries (at least 2x current capacity at same size). And of course fully-realized LTE networks. Until these arrive, improvements will be strictly incremental and not worth the $600 or whatever it is to get an unsubsidized phone. IMO.
