looks ok, going to install it.. feedback will follow...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] poyensa:
Not yet. As co0kie said it's the RSS Reader that comes with Sense 2016+, but it will work on all ROMs with Sense 2.5 including the HD2 stock ROMs. The only requirement is that you have the RSSHub application on your device. This is the exact same RSS reader the comes with the stock Sense wich means it also has it's limitations and bugs - this widget will be updated as HTC updates it's RSS Reader in stock Sense.

The future might also bring some better Sense RSS integration. For now this is no more and no less then what you get with Sense 2016+.

You could also try this great RSS Tab: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=758107

Great Widget Mod. Thanks!

Does anybody know, how to change the scrolling speed and behavior of the RSS widget. For me the text takes too long to scroll into the widget and stays too shortly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] poyensa:
This is done in Co0kieRSSReader.lua, look in the kitchen at first post. The edition of this file must be done before install the widget.

BTW I have uploaded a MINI version of the Widget_RSSReader, to be use in the 320 wide screen. Download in post#1

Does anyone know how to get a RSS widget (any of em) to just show the headlines? I like using my for my facebook statuses but since the headline is the same as the main txt it just repeats twice like [statusstatus]

and

a way to have two separate RSS widget showing two separate feeds?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] phordych05:
when i download any of these new cabs...my res reader disappeared...and when i go to edit home screen...or add widget...its not even there anymore...any help...and i was use.g 0.95...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] poyensa:
You have to edit the file CHTmode9_manila before installing the cab, to add the property visible = false in the variable RssReaderDescription & RssReaderDescription_Bold, then you will see only the headlines. Here you have an example of how to edit mode9 files in CHT2.0 widgets. This files CHTmode9_manila must be edited before install the cab because it change name in the process of installation depending of the asigned slot.

But there is a way to find them once installed, of course following Co0kie instructions:

You have to know in wich slot has been installed the RSS widget, so go to the registry key HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHTI.AddonWidgets.SlotXX and look what slotXX is installed the RSS widget.

Then use manilaHash, put in manila file path \Windows\HTC\Home\CHTWidgetSlotXX.mode9 (SlotXX is the slot for RSS widget once installed) and click 'get manila' (remember it has to be 8 digits so add ceros if necessary) then search this manila file in \windows directory of your device, copy it to your PC and edit with m9editor as explained, then copy back to your device.

This process is much easier than edit the CHTmode9_manila of the RSS widget before installation. But it will work only in your device, as other users will have RSS widget installed in diferent slot.

About to have two separate RSS widget showing two separate feeds this would be more difficult as a new widget should be created with new variables also, and maybe a new .dll, i dont know it it would work, even both would show the same RSS entries (as 2 clocks gives the same time). RSS resizable is just a modification of RSS co0kie widget, its not a proper widget itself.

This is quite strange as i said before RSS resizable is only a small modifcation of Co0kie RSS widget v0.95. So if you have allready installed co0kie RSS widget and try to install RSS resizable, it automatically uninstall previous one so you need to do installation again. If co0kie's RSS works this should also.

UPDATE: chage text color

UPDATE 23DEC2010: Small update. By installing this cab the color of the text can be changed in the registry key HKLU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.RSS.ColorText. By default is set white color (255,255,255) No need uninstall-reinstall the RSSReader Widget, just install Poyensa RSSReaderWidgetUpdateTextColor.cab. It should work with all versions of RSSReader Widget (co0kie's original & resizable)

This cab add color property to the variables in file 1FD434CA_manila (Co0kieRSSReader.lua) and add the registry entry HKLU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.RSS.TextColor

After change the color in RGB code in the registry key, restart sense.

Set the value to your favourite color in RGB code

Then copy the attached file in windows folder and restart sense. Now is two lines in the registry: HKLU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.RSS.TitleColor for titles & HKLU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.RSS.TextColor for description

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] poyensa:
The problem is my HD2 was broken (in repair now) so i cannot do much more cause i cannot test. I am loosing everyday more "lua" faculties, I feel myself in low CHTfitness :(

You should have a look into the file 1FD434CA_manila -- \windows\htc\home\scripts\home\Co0kieRSSReader.luac (find a decompiled version of it in the widget kitchen in post#1 \kitchen\workspace\_lua)

more or less in line 121 your will find this:

self._totalAnimatedTime = rssInfo.iScrollTime * [COLOR="Blue"]30[/COLOR]

Modify the value 30 and see what the effects are. For better test you should use the DevMode as explained here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8973448&postcount=2

Once you find the solution, just run the file _Generate_files_for_cab.bat and the edited file Co0kieRSSReader.luac will be automatically recompiled and renamed as 1FD434CA_manila, and will be in \kitchen\cab\_final_files ready to transfer it into the widget cab. [[EDIT: in fact you could directly copy to windows folder after recompilation and renamed, no need to do it via cab ...]]

If it works you also should share the cab here :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Zahurtex:
Thanks, thats what I figured out settings would be somewhere i lua file. Now you have exactly pointed out the location it would be easier for me.

I will try to do a cab and if suceeded will post here.

I hope you get back your hd2 soon.. :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Hola, if you haven´t solved your problem yet, the best thing to do is as follows:

- replace all your customized files by the original ones again.

- check if RSS Addon is still "uninnstalable" in installed programs/remove programs

- try to uninstall again. If error message still appears, try again ;-)

- then try to install over widget again (of course sense disabled) and when prompted to "what ever" always press continue, AND never to SoftReset

- then check if widget is operstional or not (sense back on)

- if widget still operational, try to uninstall again

- if widget not operational, check registry HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila and there check for CHTI.AdoonWidgetSlot if you can still see the RSS Widget

Sometimes you must try to uninstall/install several times, even using different cabs for the RSS Reader. Believe me, it works. I´ve done it this way several times on different devices ;)

Good and usefull widget..., works even better on the Mini than the HD2 :p

BTW, nice "clock arangement" Dody, would you mind pointing me towards it :D

as BHS Interceptor advised me in different thread about the following question asking the original maker of rss widget am asking the boss;)....

how to x2 the size of the rss icon (the coffe-newspaper) in the following pic

2- my mother language is arabic and this language read and write from the right to left the opposite way of english(left to right) .. how can i make the rss read it from right to left removing that right space and make it at left end of words?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Hola, Dody,

maybe for the time beeing until Poyensa get´s to look into answering your question, you could check out the following files:

background_rest="338FAD9B_manila"

background_press="089BA66A_manila"

icon="2EC88C23_manila"

Meaning:

- 2ec88c23_manila: it´s the file containing the RSS icon and it´s max size is 64 x 64. I guess you could make it a little bigger, but not twice the size. Sorry :(

A workaround for this would be to make the icon within 2ec88c23_manila transparent and then to use a "dummy" freelink with that same image but with no real link, which you could simply resize as you like, or use and change the icon for RSS Hub as freelink :D

- 338FAD9B_manila: it´s the "normal background that you can see - and in your screenie it has already been modded so that the icon appears as separate and not within the widget but the total size is still 512 x 64

- 089BA66A_manila: it´s the same as above, only "lighter" because it "simulates" beeing pressed. Also 512 x 64

And as said before, the scrolling direction is "hidden" sowhere in Lua... :o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dody:
if i tell you what i ented to do you will laugh i think and say i could save alot of time typing to this guy .. i will use the icon as free link :D:D (its very good idea) it is the easiest and higher resolution i can get i think .. thanks alot i found your post is very useful though :)..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] poyensa:
ok so stop working in bigger icon then, i will try the rest of improvements. Just one thing ... Co0kie is the boss! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dunc001:
OK, the size of any manila element is determined by the mode9 unless it is overridden by the lua script. So regardless of whether you remake the qtc image to 512x512 if the mode9 defines the size as 64x64 then manila will simply scale the qtc up or down to the required size. So to alter the size of the icon you'd need to amend the size property for the relevant object in the widget mode9 file. Poy, over to you...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dody:
thanks.. waiting
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Muchas gracias Maestro ;)

Hola Dunc, that´s why I posted him the original file sizes.... as max 64 x 64 for the whole image. But in his case, the icon within the qtc was not 64 x 64 yet (also considering that the positioning of the "image" itself within the qtc manila has to fit), so that´s why I gave him the size as well.... Of course, making a file larger than being defined by mode9 would be of no use unless he redefined that also in mode9 (or as you mentioned "overridden" by lua script). That is why I suggested him the "workaround" with the "FreeLink" not limited... :D

Guess now the only thing he really needs is for Poy to check if he can "alter" the horizontal scrolling for the text and invert it...

Guys can someone please try to help me.. i tried to instal all rss widgets but all somehow fail to install..it gets to half process and asks to restart phone.after restart sense is crashed until i delete rss entry from registry..

ps..I see that BHS managed to set it up...i am on artemis too..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Si señor, but one thing to bear in mind is, if they have a modded background where only part of it is "visible" and the "column" underneath/below the icon is transparent, they might loose this effect :confused:

Sure I could try to help you out, but I would need to know a little bit more..., since you mentioned you´ve tried to install ALL...

1) What Artemis version?

2) What if any CHT Addon RSS widget (and maybe others) did you install and uninstall befor trying to install this one?

I know you answered part of this, but did you just try to install over and over again, or did you get any error messages and tried to uninstall first failed install before trying the next?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kikisp:
Hey amigo BHS thank you very much..

no no.. i didnt have any of earlier rss widgets installed because i cant install them at all...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Ok, your welcome, it´s an "Artemis family" challenge now ;)

I would also need to know, what other addon widgets you have installed, and also if you have CHTS installed as well. If not, please try to install for example CHT Addon Analog clock2, or CHT Addon Weather, CHT Addon Flipp or CHT Addon Digital.... And remember: Sense always off, and SoftReset after installation, then Sense ON and check if widget available in menu, add element (or edit home screen, advanced) and if it works after selecting it.

If you check in Settings/System/ Uninstall aplications, is any of the RSS Widgets (that you tried to install) listed there?

I guess the message you´re getting is as follows: ""An error occured during the install/uninstall. See xda forum thread for support"... So pressed "ok", then prompted by system to perform a SR for changes to apply, SR, Sense back ON and then nothing...?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] poyensa:
Hi all, i have reproduce this issue at the installation of the CHTw_RSS. May be is usefull for some of you with installation problems:

1) Starting with CHTwRSS installed without any issue, it is installed in the registry CHTI.AddonWidgets.Slot1

Then uninstall as usual WM method in Setting>>uninstall programs, accept soft-resset. You can see now Slot1 is empty

2) Then install againCHTwRSS Full Config, and get this message of "... will be uninstalled previous verssion ..." even the widget is not in my device :confused:

I click on OK to continue ...

3) Then new error message "see xda forum for help ..." click OK. Do not accept any soft-resset until the end of the installation process.

4) Then new error message, " ... could not be uninstalled previous verssion ..." clock on yes to continue installation

5) Usual screen asking where to install, as any CHT widget, select on device ...

6) Installation process is finished, now accept soft-resset. The CHTw RSS Full Config is now in my home screen without any issue :)

I am investigating why this is happening in some devices / roms. I think is related to the widget .dll, This was updated by co0kie in Nov 2010 for some issues with CHTw RSS (see post#1 update 14 Nov 2010) and maybe gives some problems with some devices / roms
