Just letting you know that the two ics themes never gets the rounded corners..

Maybe u could add a Light holo and dark holo with headers to match the ics widgets?
[Android Apps and Games] zadock:
I have a problem...widget does not update automatically!

I selected 2 hours to update, but doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
I know, I should remove that otion when you select those themes, they just have their own semi rounded shape.

I was thinking of adding a light holo theme, I'll add it to my ToDo list :)

Thanks mate
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
what widget do you use? and do you have the "image predownload" checked?
[Android Apps and Games] nole4ever:
Are there any special settings thru Google reader to show pictures in the widget and reader panel?

I have enabled images in the widget. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] zadock:
I use 4x3 redimensionable and I have check these option.

Is the app compatible whit ICS?
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
It depends of the feeds you have. What the widget does is download the first image of the article, so if your feed doesn't provide images you don't get any.

On Android 2.x i dont have control on the items layout as well as on HC and ICS, so you cant have an item with a thumbnail and one without (ICS can though). So In your case i would suggest you hide the thumbnails, and youll need to re add the widget to take effect.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Yep, just choose the widget that says : android 3.x / 4.x only
[Android Apps and Games] zadock:
Here is a screenshot of all the application's widget.

I choose the correct widget, but don't update automatically.

[Android Apps and Games] nole4ever:
Thanks for your help. Didn't see the ics version of the widget.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Yes I think there is a problem with the image predownload on auto refresh, i suspect the process to be killed be the system when it's running in background. I'll look this up this weekend.

I'll keep you updated.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Guys, I've been productive this week end :)

New version of Minimal Reader Pro is available in the Android Market !

** NEW in v2.3 **

- Completely revamped the pop-up, now with a page indicator and incredibly fast navigation!

- Added image thumbnails to all static widgets

- Fixed a nasty Android 2.1 FC

- Rearranged all widget layouts

I've worked a lot on the Pop-up feature, completely rewritten it from scratch, it is now fast a lightning !

Try it and tell me what you think.

Cheers !
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Wow! It really IS fast as lightning!!

And swiping work on whole screen. Great work.

....

A request or two.

Will it be possible to add a story snippet? The first three lines from a news under the headers?

And.. a theme w a ics bar on top to match the ics widgets.

Attatched an ics dark theme from Android Pro Widgets.

As now
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Are u on Nova Launcher.?

It seems to have widget update problems..
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hey mate !

Yeah I'm planning on making a dark and light Holo theme for the widgets, it's on Top of my todo list for next version :)

as for the snippet, I'll see how it looks, I think it might be too much text on the widget.

Cheers

WoW, i was just guessing the existence of this app
[Android Apps and Games] alexcarterkarsus:
I just bought the pro version, must say it is by far the best news reading widget app I have used :)

a problem though... I have a galaxy note, on which I just installed a leaked ICS rom from samsung, though unfortunately the resizing of the widget doesn't work, maybe you can look into it as well? Thanks a lot!!
[Android Apps and Games] kiwi45:
Bought the pro version for my Galaxy Tab 7.7, however the fonts are too small for comfortable viewing. Any way to enlarge it?
[Android Apps and Games] zolah:
Can someone tell me how to get the facebook statuses as rss feeds?

I cant see an rss buton on my facebook page on the left.

Is it the news feed button above messages and events and find friends?

Thanks for help
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
If anything, add the rss feed to your Google Reader account and from there it should be fairly easy to add it to MRP
[Android Apps and Games] zolah:
:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hi there, I tweeted @samsung_dev to see if there's a way for third party widget to enable resizing/scrolling... no answer yet.

But if you're on an ICS ROM, I suggest you try Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher and use the 3.x/4.x scrollable widget :)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
The font on the pop-up can be resized in the settings, not on the scrollable widget (I'll add that to my todo list)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
I think with the changed in the FB interface the button has changed positions ... It must be somewhere though. I'll look it up tonight, don't have access to FB at work :(.
[Android Apps and Games] zolah:
Thanks.

If you could that would be awesome!

I cant find the little bugger any where lol
[Android Apps and Games] Nokiater:
I really like the scrollable widget. I upgraded my firmware yesterday to CM9 with the Trebuchet launcher. Unfortunately, the scrollable widget doesn't seem to work with this new launcher.

Any possibility to resolve this issue, please?
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hey there, the scrollable widget optimized for Android 3.x/4.x works like a charm on trebuchet (got it on my Xoom). Make sure to choose the right widget though.
[Android Apps and Games] itsmyname:
Want one for twitter :(

Awesome app nonetheless
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
It's in the works, and more advanced than you think :)
[Android Apps and Games] Nokiater:
Ok, seems like i chose the wrong widget indeed (The one that works for 2.x only). The widget's name isn't fully displayed in Trebuchet because of its length, that's why I didn't notice. Thx!

Another remark tough. I noticed earlier that the feed listing sometimes isn't correctly synchronized with the reader. P.e. when I click on an item in the list, it pops up the wrong news item. Refreshing the widget most of the times resolves this.
[Android Apps and Games] NITRO_100:
Hey, just want to say that I love this widget, it's great. Only thing I miss is the option to hide feeds that I read..and show only feeds that are unreaded. Is that possible to make in future?

transformer with OTA ICS

On transformer tf101 with stock ICS I add the 4.x widget and see no feeds. I can add a feed by pressing the setting button.

After adding a feed with the setting button the number on the bottom displays the number of items.

It goes from zero to 30 new. But I cannot see them it still just says " press settings to add a feed"

Any idea wtf is going on? The static Widgets work fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hi there,

the feature already exists, you just need to check the option "filter read news" in the third tab.

Enjoy
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hey there, thanks for the report.

This has to do with the "filter read news" option, I just fixed it last night. Update coming soon :)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hmm, this sounds like you chose the 2.x scrollable widget instead of the 3.x/4.x, you sure you chose the right one?

If it's the right one, what launcher do you use? I'll try to reproduce the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] fga:
OK, waiting ;-) ... Thanks.

But i just realize when i have this problem, it's always the last page (2 or 3), so i close the popup. And widget show some news already read (2 or 3). I need to open popup checks the 2 pages for exemple, close popup and widget show again 1 news already read. And do again same action.

Hope it's help you.

If not clear (cause english), je te la refais en français lol
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
.

I'm curious ;) What's with the check marks in the article's title in the pop up?
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hey Darius !

The check mark is to show that you already read that article :)
[Android Apps and Games] s3ct0r:
Hey,

I'd love to try your app but I'm having troubles with it.

After installing the app, I cant open in via the Market (only Uninstall is shown).

And the app is not in the App Drawer either.

I also tried the paid version but the same occurred.

I'm using a i9000, running aokp build 27, on devil 1.1.6 thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hi there, my app is not a normal app, it's a Widget.

To add a widget, long press on an empty space of you homescreen, select add widget, and then look for the Minimal Reader (Pro) widgets.
[Android Apps and Games] s3ct0r:
Still no luck.

The Widget does not appear in the Widget selection on the App drawer.

Is it ice cream sandwich compatible?

Thanks again :)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Yes it is compatible with ICS, although it's a known bug in ICS that the widget list is not updated when you install new widgets.

To solve it, simply reboot your phone, the widgets should appear in your list.

Make sure to choose the widget optimized for ICS, it's the one that has a different preview image than the others.

Enjoy
[Android Apps and Games] s3ct0r:
Thank you SO Very Much :D

I am re-buying the app now

Keep up the great work :)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hey guys, a new update is available !

* NEW in v2.4 **

- Added YouTube support, launch videos right from the pop-up

- Added Japanese translation. Big thanks to Moyuru Takagi for his work!

- Added new options to hide counter, blog title and date

- Bug fixes

Enjoy :)
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
Hola Joen ;D

But sometimes there is like 4 marks, while on previous scrolled article only 2, others have 3, now that one has 5... it's a bit random xD
[Android Apps and Games] drdystopia:
ics

100% positive it is the right one. Android 3.x/4.3. Only one that shows up in the Widgets selection colored.

I am not using any launcher. 100% stock. I just sbf. Back to stock to upgrade to ICS.

Still trying g to get this to work. It says updating and displays the number of new feeds but does not display the feeds themselves.

The nonscolling widget works just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
5?? Ive seen two sometimes when you navigate forward and backward on the popup, but 5 seems a lot lol. I'll look up what might be going wrong.

Thanks for the report Darius
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
hmmm it should work fine on stock launcher. Could you try it with Nova ot Apex launcher though? If it works with those and not with stock then there is a problem. If not, then it must be something specific to your install.
[Android Apps and Games] drdystopia:
Tried nova and it still did not work. looks like I am out of luck until I factory reset again.

oh well.
[Android Apps and Games] fga:
Don't know why but now i have lot of fc when i tried to open popup.

I can read some news and other fc every time. Sometimes fc every time and can't read news at all.

I use launcher 7 and tried on miui launcher too and same result.

Don't understand why i use launcher7 since few months ago and never have any problem.

I tried to reset all data and widget but nothing change.

I'm so sad... :-(

After uninstall and re-install everything works good, except some empty popup.

Guys, I got good news :)

I got eight hours to kill at work on sunday night (I know, but it's well paid :p), just me, a workmate, lots of computers, a galaxy S, a desire and a galaxy Tab !

I'm gonna use that time and devices to work as much as I can on my Minimal Reader Pro, so if you have any last minute requests, post them now !

This is what I already got on my list :

- Translations in French and Spanish (i don't know any other languages)

- 4x2 and 4x4 widget sizes

- syncronize read items with google reader

- invert buttons/arrows option

- Add blog name color option

- Https support

- Share article button

- Add more visual customizations to the widget (I got some nice ideas for this :p)

I'll try to do as much as I can this sunday, so if you think of something else I should add, don't hesitate to share it !

Have a good week end guys !
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
Hej, I can help you with the spanish one ;)

I have a small request, that the pop up syncs with the widget (I read a story in the opo up, jump to the next from there, go back but the widget still shows the first story

And my constant two, twitter feed and that you can fix up the random mess of feeds ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Great idea the sync popup and widget, i should be able to implement that easily.

For twitter i'm afraid you're going to have to wait a bit, I'm keeping that one for later :)

I have an idea on how to avoid the mixing up pb, but that would mean a redesign of most of my system and im not 100% sure it would work. It would also mean a full reinstall for everyone... I'll do it if i have some spare time.

Thanks darius, glad to have you around!

Joenrv,

Can you add option to save current feed? it will pain in the ass if need to add back one by one if got rom problem that need to clean wipe..
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
One of the reasons i added google reader support is because it stores all your feeds on the cloud, allowing you to completely wipe your phone and quickly re import all your favourite feeds.

If you don't use google reader i can only recommend you to start using it right away :)

Have been trying out your free version, but when I saw that you're adding 4x4/4x2 and full google reader sync widget sizes after requests in this thread I decided to buy the Pro version.

If you could also make it so that the larger widget sizes let you scroll through items, using up/down button's and/or LaucherPro/ADW's scrollable widget functionality, then I'll be a very happy customer. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Thank you!

I'll be working on the widget sizes as soon as i get some free time (i promised a trip to the country to my gf this week end ;) ). I was actually thinking of starting to prepare the update tonight, as well as a bug fix on honeycomb that a user reported...

Btw has anyone tried my widget on the moto xoom? If yes, does it work properly? I wanna know it the bug is xoom/honeycomb related or not.

I've been working on a new feature tonight, news are now marked as read when you open them in the pop-up, and there's a new filter to show only unread news, so that you can quickly go through all your news without seeing the same news twice :)

I wanted to know how much do you care about marking your news as read in google reader too? Do you think it's an important feature? I just think it's gonna waste a bit more battery and data for nothing as I never connect to the actual google reader now.

What do you guys think?

[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
.

It looks very good and classy! Great work!

Alas, the scroll widget still cant remember his last position :/

************

Oops, too quick, now there's an option to remember it's last place! Sweeeeeeeeeeeet! :D

*************

Ok I have a recommendation and a bug. Recommendation is to have an option to change the text size in the scrolling widget. And the bug is that when I'm scrolling, no matter the speed, the phone would make a tiny and short vibrator buzz and it would stop scrolling 'till I swipe with my finger again (kinda annoying). Maybe it happens with the use of LauncherPro.
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
Amazing update!

Love the look and feel of the widget; it's just so slick.

A couple of suggestions for the new scrollable widget:

1. When there are no more items on the feed, you should remove "Press settings to start adding feeds" as I think it's unsightly to our otherwise fashionable homescreens. Much rather have nothing at all. Or, maybe the last 3 items on the feed can be left on the widget but greyed out when there are no items as well. The reason for this is so that we don't just have a large empty box on our homescreens. A news item of some sort makes the homescreen feel more "full".

Or, if it is even possible to implement, an alternate solution would be to change the widget "colors" for everything (header, title, content, blog/date, background) to be "transparent" when there is no items on the feed. That way, the widget would be pretty much invisible. When the widget refreshes and there are items, just restore the settings back to previous to "pop" the widget back in.

2. Like the previous poster said, allow us to control the size of the text and the number of content lines that should be displayed.

I'm sure you already have some of this planned as this is just an initial release of the new redesign. Love your work!
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
AMAZING update! Awesome work, just awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] TheSG:
This rss reader is simply amazing.

I m using it for around 3 months and this is becoming better n better in every update.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Thanks for the feedback guys !

So from what I note, what's missing the most is:

- Option to change the text size (taht's gonna be easy on Android 3.x/4.X but really annoying on 2.x ... but I'll manage)

- Show something more elegant when there's no more feeds to read on the widget. I was thinking when that happens, go back to the unfiltered view with all items, but it might seem a bit confusing, what do you guys think?
[Android Apps and Games] Gunde:
I've been looking through this thread but couldn't find an answer.

I'm having trouble getting this to refresh automatically on ICS.

I'm using the 3.0/4.0 version and no matter what refresh rate and whether I restrict to Wifi or not, it simply will not refresh unless I do it manually.

Any ideas? Is there something I might be doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
I'm alright with that. However, you need to make it simple to identify if the items on the widget are the "all items" when we have no more items or if they are new items. The last thing users need is to be guessing if the feed is new or not. Maybe put them in italics? Or remove the counter if the items aren't new (still would be kinda confusing from a glance)?

I noticed this with the new widget this morning. I went to bed without any items on the widget and when I awoke 8 hours later, there were still no items. I had to push refresh to retrieve the 80 items I had on my Google Reader. I have my refresh interval set to 1 hour and was on WiFi.

I'm gonna do a test and see if it refreshes within the next hour and will report back.

EDIT: I can confirm that there is a bug with refreshing. I had 29 items on my Reader that don't appear unless I refresh the widget manually. My settings are set to 1 hour refresh and I'm on WiFi the entire time.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
I don't have problems with the auto refresh on my GNex. At least when I'm on a stable connection.

When on an unstable or very slow connection (edge), the refresh can be stopped by the system or it just gives up when the internet connection is not good enough.

I'll do some check up on the code though see if I haven't missed anything.
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Im having autorefresh trouble. But i use Nova which isnt complete with widgets yet.
[Android Apps and Games] jameslfc5:
Bought.

I haven't even used the app but the screenshots of the latest design look awesome and you have done an excellent job of making it look stock.

So I searched for it to see how you have priced it and for 69p you can't go wrong, well done for not being greedy and for producing an excellent looking app

I look forward to using it.
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
I use a Galaxy Nexus as well with the stock launcher. Could it be that we're using the wrong widget? I use the one that's circled below for the new ICS styled widget (even though the thumbnail isn't accurate):

I have a feeling that we're suppose to use the one to the left of the one I circled but it seems to be bugged. I see this when using that widget:

The counter has items (15 as you can see) but it doesn't display the items on the widget.

Can you clarify which widget we are to use and why the widget on the left side only shows the counter?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
You are using the right widget, if there is a problem, it would be in the refresh process which is shared by all widgets. I'll look it up in more detail.
