Version 0.7.6 no limit

Ok, guys i promised a new version and here it is.

Please keep in mind that i don't actually have access to a windows mobile device at the moment, so i haven't actually tested my changes. Let me know if you have issues, so that i can fix them for you.

Once again, thank you for using my app

VERSION 0.7.6 BETA - NO TRIAL LIMIT ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mokos:
Thank u my friend! Which version is suitable for Omnia i900?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TeDeV:
there is only one version. Use the latest one 0.7.6
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TeDeV:
i have updated the first post, since it seems that it is working fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TeDeV:
almost 40 downloads, and not a single post all these days, on how this version is doing?

you have no feedback at all?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SilentlyScreaming:
Windows Mobile 6.5.something - Energy ROM

HTC Touch Pro 2

.NET installed, 3.5 I think?

Tried for first time in ages, got the following error.

Will trawl through thread for relevant previous tips for sorting that issue, busy at home right now, so posting this up and checking old posts was on the backburner until I saw your msg :)

Error isn't received until I drill down to a thread I think, tried a few different TP2 sub-forums.

From v0.86

Nice app! It working perfectly up to now to my HD2! :)

Thank you very much Thodori :)

It would be nice though if it could "read" the subscribed threads as favourites and display them :)

Thanks again for your great app!!! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jjollyroger:
hi, tested the last version.

I use it only for xda forums, text is well displayed but I can't see any image ,I used a previous version (maybe was 0.7.4) few months ago and if I'm not wrong it showed images prewiew.

0.7.6 shows text links to images and ask to download images (not just to show them) but if I try it gives 2 error messages then and the phone freezes:

-Try again....install NETCFv35.messages.it.wm.cab..

-error loading image file: the system can't find the file specified

if I try to download a file it says :"not implemented yet"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TeDeV:
the "Download file" option is not fixed.

As for the image preview, it was never implemented, since it was impossible to do with the current tools i am using. You need to hold-press the post, and click for the images, then if the url is correct (for the picture) the application should download the image to your local folder and try to display it. To make sure that the download is correct, go to the local installed folder, and check the folders in there, if the image exists or not. if it exists, it is a display error and not a url error.

RapidRead on Toshiba Journe Touch

I tried this app on my Tosiba Journe Touch. It work but with few problems.

The biggest problem is that the second windows (forum list and thread list) open too small (1/8 of screen size).

Posted message window is ok !

Another problem is that after adding a forum the app crash but the new forumis saved in forum list.

TNX for this app !!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TeDeV:
hi frank,

i have never tried RapidRead on ur device. i don't get it why you have such a weird window size. RapidRead reads your device resolution and docks to the screen. This is why it works on QVGA-VGA-HVGA etc. what screen does ur phone has?

as for the crash thing on new forums, if i remember correctly that was a really old problem. are you sure that you are using 0.7.6 version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frankadimcosta:
My device run on windowsce 6.1 pro r3. resolution is 800x480 (width-height).

But i tried also rotated 90 degree (480x800) same results.

I'm using 0.76 version.

tnx for support
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TeDeV:
frank, i can't figure out what is going on with ur device. a silly solution would be to install the framework again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RAXXer:
Just downloaded and installed to test.

I needed to install into main memory -try & error- to save sucessfully any forum (I was unable to find any reference to problems when installing in memory card)

Navigation by xda forum is smooth enough, but I'm missing some forum tools, as search...

Thank you for the app, anyway. I'll give it a try for some time; it seems to me a good tool for a quick look at the forums.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Contra1971:
cant get it to work with any site, heck i cant get to the screen that offers me to input any other site

To be more acurate i dont know how to install it, althought it is install for this forum only
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TeDeV:
hey guys,

@RAXXer, i don't know why it is not saving the files in your memory card. You can always try to copy the folder (of RapidRead) from the main memory to the storage card and check if it works (it should)

@Contra, RapidRead is not just for xda-developers. It supports most of the forums that support TapaTalk. Can you be more specific when you say that you can't get to the screen where you add new forums? When you click the button what happens?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RAXXer:
Hi TeDeV,

In fact, when I install RapidRead in the storage card, the program does actually write the new forum data in /StorageCard/ProgramFiles/RapidRead/myForums.xml... the problem is that after introducing the new forum information, saving and getting the "saved successfilly" message, the program doesn't show any new forum under the My Forum List caption, in the main screen.:confused:

What I'm doing wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] EdrickV:
Thought I'd already posted this, but I guess I forgot. I have installed the new version over the older one and in the process discovered a minor bug that occurs if you setup two forums with the same name. I don't recall if the new version automatically prompted me to setup a new forum or if I didn't see the one I'd setup on the old version and did it myself, but I did setup a new forum with slightly different settings then the one I made using the older version, (url changed) used the same name for it, and got an error message at the end about not being able to have two forums with the same name. After that I saw the forum listed on the main screen and tried a bunch of things to get it to work before realizing that the URL was wrong. After deleting it the newer settings I made showed up and work fine via wifi on my Tilt. (Have not tried the program via cellular data connection yet since data for me is not cheap.)

The program has worked fine for reading threads, though it doesn't show if a thread has new posts or not. Might be an issue specific to the forum I'm using, but nothing shows up on the PM tab, no messages and apparently no folders listed.

One last bug is that it doesn't always respond properly to screen rotation events on my device. (Either when sliding out the keyboard or using a button configured by HButton to do screen rotation.) Symptoms include a Windows UI scrollbar on the side when going from Portrait to Landscape or a second un-skinned but functional set of Home/Favorites/PM tabs when going from Landscape to Portrait. Going into/out of a forum section/thread fixes that.

Using an HTC Kaiser with latest official HTC WM6.1 ROM.

Edit: Note that the program actually does rotate when the screen does, it just doesn't seem to know it rotated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Syr:
Hello.

I'm using a proxy for gatewaying out of an intranet.

app seems to ignore the general settings, moreover I didn't find a connection configuration menu voice.

I'll be sorry for the silly question if it has been feeded yet.

cheers

Syr
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TeDeV:
@RAX try to delete the xml file with the forums in it. (forumslist) And try to add a new forum then.

@Edrick, i haven't tried to add a forum twice on the list. Why don't you delete the old one? As for the pms, i think it works fine. At least it works for me on xda-developers, did you try it there? As for the rotation i am not really sure what is happening.

@Syr, RapidRead will try to connect to the internet using general settings from your active internet connection. So if you are using a data plan, it will use that, if you are using wifi it will use that. I am not changing anything in the network connections.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] EdrickV:
As I mentioned above, I did delete the old forum and the new one showed up then. Haven't tried putting this site on it yet since I haven't used this site much. (I originally got this program after reading a notice on another forum, which uses phpBB, that said they'd made it Tapatalk compatible. But I won't really have a need to access it via the phone for a while.)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Syr:
I'm sorry, i missed some specified infos,

the internet connection is provided by an enterprise APN, it give me access to the Intranet.

on the APN connection setup (not wifi) you can set a proxy server to reach the full internet.

The same detail is got from almost all apps on win, the rest let you set this up manually.

Your apps works sweetly with a normal internet connection, but it doesn't get the proxy from the general setup when it is set.

I know it's a non common configuration, so it has really poor weight on app develop plan, but if it could be a simple fix I'll be happy :)

thanks anyway for your time ;)

Hi, i was really happy to find a WM program which is still in ongoing development! As I just see there are still some little "bugs" like no landscape mode and no search in forum function, but anyway a big THANK YOU for still developing for WM! Great Work!

I wonder for how long will development continue less people daily go for wm6.5 and for many of us that have abandoned the os there is no going back.

Anyway Congrats to Dev that is still working on this project! :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RAXXer:
Hello again TeDeV,

I've been doing some testing with RapidRead, installing it in storage card and in main memory.

Following your suggestion, I tried deleting the myForums.xml file and creating it again with no result. Also, I have copied a working .xml file from the main memory installation on the storage card installation to find that the "card" executable doesn't find it. Finally I have copied the ok-working full main memory installation on the storage card, and when launched the card rapidread.exe doesn't find the existing forum.

The amusing thing is that, when running from memory card, the program does write the myforums.xml file in the directory (exactly the same file I got when I run the main memory version); but later it can't find it (in the same place when it has just wrote it!) for displaying the existing forums. If I try to add a different forum, the resulting myForums.xml file has only the information of the last forum I have introduced.

Just a comment. In the spanish WM 6.5 I'm running, the card installation directory is /Tarjeta de almacen./Archivos de programa/RapidRead (not StorageCard/ProgramFiles/RapidRead); but I think that shouldn't matter.

I'm using a HTC HD2 with spanish stock rom WM 6.5 (5.2 - 21913.5.0.94), for additional information...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TeDeV:
@syrr, i can't really help you there mate. I need to have the same exact configuration that you have, in order to find what is wrong and try to fix it.

Thanks to both of you, for your support. RapidRead is in a stage that it "just works". Unfortunately as you mentioned, people left the winMo (maybe the best phone OS i ever had), and now WinMo devs are like their are playing in the movie "I am Legend" (all by themselves :))

RapidRead's development was going much faster in the older days, because there were people supporting it, so i could take some time to work on it.

RAXXer this sounds very strange mate. i am not searching for "Storage Card/"

but i am getting the information from the system location that RapidRead runs from. Is there any other user here who is using RapidRead in foreign language?

@cajun - glad to hear that :)

@lohtse - i never tried RapidRead on winmo 5. i know for sure that it works on 6.1 and 6.5. Most of the problems were because of the tools framework i was using. It had to do with the ram or something. i never managed figure it out.

@mhffm - i have an HD2 (as a lot of people), and it is for sure the one device that can run RapidRead just fine. If you have time, and you are curious, we can check the reasons, that it is not running in yours.

Thanks again for the time you spent on RapidRead guys.

Either way, this app will help me manage my xda projects, so I have a personal interest in making sure it works :D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ivwonka:
thank you so much for sharing this app with us. it is beautiful and will be much improved over web browser for reading forums. scrolling is smooth on my tp2 with SYS 21916. Here are some things I noticed:

1. shortcut in startmenu is called "RapidRead.exe" instead of just "RapidRead"

2. left softkey not always working. when in thread, it says "menu" but is greyed out and doesn't do anything. also, sometimes it says "back" but it too is greyed out and doesn't do anything, when it should. my hardware back key still works perfectly in the app here though.

3. I wish it had an "X" to close button or at least that option in the menu.

4. No way to change time zone, so the times on the posts are all wrong for me in my time zone.

5. sign-in, view pics, download attachments, and write new posts is a requirement for this app to be really useful. Are all 4 of these features planned?

6. I can't figure out how to add ppcgeeks. is it the right format? I press button to add forum, but it doesn't do anything or give me any error. There is no way to go back from this screen also. only exit. Any advice for getting this going?

7. I like the page navigation. Any way to add the info "out of _ pages"? It is hard to type in a page number to navigate to when I don't know how many pages there are.

Great work. This has wonderful potential to be one of my favorite, most-used apps. Reading the forums is what I do after I am done with email and rss feeds. I will definately donate for this app as soon as you confirm that all of the things in #5 can be done. Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] samxein:
@TeDeV

Great Job.

I have just download it & test it. It's a very good app.

This is what I found so far.

When i enter xda-devs from your app & choose a thread it goes to the last page. When I change the page that I want to read from the counter, the counter changes but the page doesn't reload. It stays the same.

When I do the same thing at MyPhone sometimes nothing happens & sometimes it gives me error: ''Error loading image file! [Cannot create a file when that file already exists.]''

I would also like to ask the same as ivwonka

I will test more & post what I will find.

P.S. I am a member at MyPhone & my nickname is samxein

Very nice app. Thanks for the hard work!

Most of the comments have already been posted here, so I'm not going to repeat it. Not sure about this though, can you add the post count too? e.g. # 86 , # 87

Easier to remember the last post # that I have read.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ForgetfulGuru:
Like so far

Hi there, Very much like this app and would love to see v1.0 with some/all of the issues that have been discussed fixed.

Needs reply funtion:

Needs graphics fixed (I take it that is why there is big gaps in the page), if you have already explained this sorry. My speed reading does not alway catch things.

Have not tried adding a new forum, though I did read that some have and there was an issue.

Here is a screen grab of the blank space; could you make use of the inage tag and maybe just place a small icon to represent image, User can choose to download or not (keeping the page nice and fast and readable)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hattmoward:
Forums with the Tapatalk plugin installed present a very simple XML-RPC interface for thin access by the Tapatalk mobile app. Compatibility with that would open the large existing installed base to your app.

They aren't very demanding of developers who want API documentation in order to write their own apps -- that is, if your app is free, they want some visibility for their name.

But also, there is nothing illegal about reverse engineering an API for the purpose of interoperability. For example, I could look at the plugin and/or poke at the XML-RPC server from the outside, then describe the interface in my own words for you to implement. This would avoid any obligation to mention Tapatalk, which may not be unreasonable since they do seem to expect you to give their name prominence, even if it is not the core of your own app.
