BeyondPod for Android is the Android version of the popular RSS feed reader and podcast manager for Windows Mobile.
Short YouTube demo and the Beta are available at http://www.beyondpod.mobi/android
Awesome. Doggcatcher is too buggy. Can't wait to give this a shot. Thanks for the heads up.
BeyondPod Beta 2 is now available
BeyondPod BETA 2 was released today.
If you are using Beta 1, here is what is new in BETA 2:
* Added Update Scheduling. You can now create separate update schedules for each category. (Press and hold over the category in the Category View to set the schedule)
* Added Support for streaming and playing Videos and static Images
* Added a global setting to automatically update the feeds every time they are open in the content view
* Added a global setting to Toggle WiFi During update (WiFi On -> Update -> WiFi Off)
* Added a global setting that prevents BeyondPod of using the cellular connection for updates. (Useful if your cellular data plans charge for traffic)
* Added a global setting to disable the automatic download of feed images in the browser.
* Reduced the timeout when the remote server is unavailable
* Removed Accelerometer screen rotation
BETA 2 is available from http://www.beyondpod.mobi/android/beta
SWEEEEEET!... Yeh dog catcher is cool, but gets hung up easily and doesn't play everything... Downloading now...

grr, already had it lock up on me.
im getting the requested file was not found.
java.lang.Integer when trying to view the NPR Top Stories
Killan,
Can you post the feed URL you are having problems with. Are you having problems opening the feed or downloading the podcast?
I use to use this with my WM phone. But with the g1, I use greed because its linked with my Google reader feeds. Its all about unity with Android.
BeyondPod 1.0.28 BETA is available
Here is what is new in this release:
* Fixed the issue where BeyondPod would show "java.lang.integer" error
in the feed content view or crash on opening the settings screen.
* Fixed an issue with scheduling where BeyondPod would stop the update
schedule after a device reboot
* Fixed an issue where the feed progress bar remains visible after
switching from the Feed Content view to the feeds view.
* Added more graceful handling of storage card removal and insertion
while BeyondPod is running. This also affects the case when you mount/
dismount the storage card using the USB connection
* Fixed an issue that sometimes would cause a crash in the Feed
Content View
You can download the latest beta from: http://www.beyondpod.mobi/android/BETA

It's the beauty of Android! That alone will keep me buying android phones for years.
Greed is a great app... almost looks like Google made it. And the "free but donations always welcome" makes me <3 the dev.
BeyondPod for Android 1.0.29 Beta is available
This is what is new in this beta
* Fixed a bug in Google Reader integration where Shared items were not synchronized correctly
* Feed parsing engine was enhanced to handle wider variety of feeds including support for Cyrillic and other languages
* Added several improvements to the Feed Content view, including wider spacing between controls and fixes to scrolling when items are marked as read
Short YouTube demo and the latest beta can be downloaded from http://www.beyondpod.mobi/android
no login/pass support :<
If you are referring to password protected feeds, that feature will be in the next beta.
great, cheers.
BeyondPod 1.0.30 Beta is out
What is new in this build:
* Added a menu for Clearing the WebView Cache (stored in /data/data/mobi.beyondpod/cache/webviewCache) and the Feed Cache (stored in /sdcard/BeyondPod/RssCache). The option is located in Menu > More > Clear Caches
* Added support for password protected feeds. Now you can add user name/password in the feed properties.
* There is an option to change the color of the item titles in the feed Content view (used to be Orange). The option is located in the global settings.
* Fixed an issue with the Scheduling where it did not set correctly the start time of the schedule if the repeat interval was set to hours
Beta can be downloaded from http://www.beyondpod.mobi/android
Can anyone give me some insight on how to incorporate google reader? I'be got all my feeds there and would like to just use those.
Aurora Device search is a full text device search tool on Android. Like [email protected], Aurora shows search result dynamically as typing. The data includes:
* Contacts
* Calendar
* Application name
* Web history
* Web bookmark
* SMS/MMS
* Audio
* Video
* Image
* SDCard files
What's more, Aurora emphasizes the intelligence of search ranking, and user accessibility. Highlight features include not limited to:
* Intelligent search ranking based on user behavior. Most frequently used resources will in the top list.
* Quick share data to your friends. User can share contact card, calendar event, web link, pictures, and all kinds of data to friends via sms/mms/gmail.
* Shortcut buttons. It makes user operation much easier. i.e uninstalling an application, user only needs to type first letters of the application name, and press "manage" button in the screen. Much easier than going to "Setting" -> "Manage application" -> .... -> "Uninstall".
* Convenient context menu. Most operations can be done via context menu, so that Aurora can be your mobile entry!
and more...
Experience it by downloading Aurora from MarketPlace! Of course, it's free!
Any comment/suggestion/bug report is highly appreciated. Please mailto:[email protected] Thanks a lot!

Nice idea, how does it work, just use find/whereis linux command with some parameters?
Hi imfloflo,
No, it's much more complex than find/whereis. It's full text search. i.e. "Michael Jackson" can be found via "Ja Mi". And it shows search result realtime like spotlight.
Amazing app! Just installed it and it is superfast and works like a charm! A very well done job!
moved to apps section
Woo you are here also!
Woo you are here also! i think you post the wrony places.anyway support you,nice work nice apps.
can we get a widget for the search.
this would be great and much better than the donut search
Widget is introduced in android 1.5, but doesn't support edit box!
I'm surprised that good search widget "works" in the home screen, but that's the only one contains edit box. According to android doc and Android framework engineer's comment, there's no way to implement a widget like "google search" so far unless make it as builtin part of home screen.
Once android framework supports it, Aurora widget will come along immediately, I promise.
Yeah its a great app. I find myself using it all the time. Before I'd scroll through all my apps looking for one. Now I type in a letters and bam there it is.
It sounds nice, but you can tell us a little about why it needs to write contact data and settings?
Hi smartPh1,
There's a "Edit Contact" in context menu for quick operation of contacts data. Thanks!
Hi smartPh1,
permission settings is for saving aurora settings in option menu. Thanks!
Love it!
Love the app! Crazy fast results. My home screen
had one empty 1X1 icon space left.
Aurora's just made the cut!
Thank you.
Is there any way to have Aurora open when you start typing on the homescreen? Similar to Moov? Would make this a winner.

Hi drpfenderson,
Android widget doesn't support edit box so far, as discussed here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/ea4ff18cdb941635?pli=1
Google search widget is an exception.

because it is a UNIVERSAL search... meaning it searches the entire phone system
very nice app. Very handy. I think you should make a widget for it so we can put it straight on the home screen for easy access...
amazing man .. very very nice work

I don't want widget search. Sorry - try downloading Moov and see what I mean. It would basically take over the quick-search contacts mode, and start searching when you start typing. No need for widget access. If moov can do it, you can too.

I know what your saying, and your right. That would be perfect.
Finally, after several requests from android developers, there is an app that will let you fill out forms and view PDFs in ICC Colors. This is the first app that will let you fill out forms that companies or people made using Acrobat. This was what I was missing on my xoom and why I had to get an Ipad for business.
This App is in its 2nd stage beta release and is not out for public. Below I have copied the changelog and the link to the apk, which has to be installed manually.
P.S More changes and updates are still coming and this IS a beta release.
New features in this release:
· Text markup tools – Highlight, underline and cross out
· Fill and save PDF forms
· PDF file association – qPDF Notes should now work with your file
manager
· Free text annotation tool to add text boxes
· Support for documents that use ICC colors spaces
· Added stability and better performance
To download and install, you will first need to enable the installation of "non-Market" applications by going to Settings -> Applications and then choosing the Unknown Sources entry. After you've changed this setting, you can download qPDF Notes from:
http://www.qoppa.com/android/demo/qpdfnotes.apk
Nice start. There are a couple good apps out there. Repligo is one but has some limitations. Iannotate for ipad is the best IMOP. A couple of oberservations. The folder view icons and navigation is too small. You should leverage the screen size on the zoom. Take a look at the File Station on the market place. They have done a good job leveraging the screen. Also I annotate has done a outstanding job with this and even integrated their solution to Cloud storage solutions like Drop box. Another area to look at is loading the PDF and taking the full screen based on the orientation of the device. Dont force the user to zoom in. It should be aware of landscape and portrait. Also see if you can support scanned images for annotation. Repligo cant do this but Iannotate can.
Lastly, still buggy crashed twice on a small pdf. Had to uninstall it.
Nice start.
Thanks for posting this. I'll test it and give you some comments.

Ye, that's why its not out for public yet. Please post the problems you are experiencing and the device you are experiencing this on so it can be fixed. Thank you.
Another thing, I haven't found a pdf application that can fill out forms yet. I maybe wrong but if there is please post. Oh and out has to support icc colors. Thanks
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Force closed while saving, the concept however is outstanding. The fact I can add text to a pdf rather than just a note would make it preferred over repligo for me. Since I couldn't save are saved documents still pdf's viewable in a normal pdf viewer with my notes pritablr/ viewable? If so once stable I would buy/use this app constantly at work.
Thanks
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Great job! I hope you can get this done asap! I need this app already
Would you happen to have a eta?

I can download the install package but when I open it only the cancel button is active; nothing happens when I press the install button :-(

I'm sorry, i should have mentioned this. It's completely based on IE
Everybody who couldn't install yet, try this:
1. copy the zune-link i sent you.
2. write a mail to yourself.
3. open it on your phone.
for the 12 folks that are already in i sent a mail to their live-inbox.
hope that solves the installation issue.
Installing got no problem.Try google you tube it's quite fast and manage toplay video without any problem.The only thing I must get used to the tab.Well so far there's not any bug yet .
When I make a new tab it seems I can't search when I type xda developers it says ERROR Invalid url.I think every tab that we make if possible make to the home page.

thanks for fast feedback
BETA tester
My response from BETA-testing. (Note: Even if you have posted some bugs I'll still fill my list with what I experience)
Phone: LG Optimus 7
Status: Works perfectly!
My current status: Stopped BETA testing.
Positive:
100% fullscreen
Customization!
Live tile with information about current session!!
Slide up the URL tab on fullscreen to get to normal view without fullscreen.
Fast web browser
Share page function (lovely!!)
It's now my official MAIN browser!
-
-
Things to maybe improve & suggestions:
First startpage is google.de, could have been google.com (but nothing special actually)
Maybe you could make your own videoplayer to play eg. youtube videos on, instead of using the phone's player (not required since the videoplayer of the phone is also good)
Also have the abillity to press the favorites url instead of only the visit button at the bottom. But keep it.
Maybe slide with 2 or 3 fingers down on the screen for entering/exiting fullscreen mode?
-
-
Negative and or Currently found bugs:
When entering fullscreen mode, it's hard to get back to regular. I had to tap like 5 times on the black button at the bottom left. (hard to use the button)
If the application opens without internet connection it will say ERROR, no network available. But it does say it when I change to other menus such as settings (keep spamming ERROR everywhere)
Theres no suggestion of websites when entering a url for eg. if you enter www.fa it could show up some suggestions like facebook or failblog.
-
I'll edit this post with more when I find
thanks for that wonderful feedback, so much inspiration
some response to the bugs:
- i'm currently working on the suggestionlist, shouldn't be that difficult.
- for the fullscreen-button i got a new solution, what should make it much
easier.
- the Network-check must be fixxed, thanks for your discovery.
@Ttblondey: search function is now included
I have given my review here and video review here.
Overall I found the app to be very nice and smooth. A good alternative for sure but there are few things you can look into except the bugs which is already reported.
1) One is integration with skydrive for syncing bookmarks etc.
2) More Gestures
3 ) Open up option for both Google and Bing as search engine.
4 ) cookie turn on and off.
Rest is all good, keep us rolled in beta.

Please read the first post carefully
I would like a "Search for text" function in the functions menu Would be awesome to be able to search for words on a page
And else I can say that I'm really happy with the browser, works well, and hopefully soon releasing? Because then you could like update with small minor updates incase something is needed
Happy New Year roqstr!
there's a search for text function ;O it's just not my own at the moment, a provisional solution,if you will
Yea, but i always find features that shouldn't be missing in the release-version, to make it working right
next week i'll be busy with school, shouldn't fail my exams
afterwards, i'd be able to release an open beta, just for some extra feedback
next step is fixing last issues and then i'll release ;P
if somebody do have experience with apphub, pubcenter & co, he can pm me to help me understanding
thanks, hope you all enjoyed New Year's Eve, i did ;P
Still waiting to test this thing
it looks nice, can't wait for release :O
I wrote a browser, based on IE its in my signature.
I'll be happy to test your browser and get better result to my and your app.
Biggest issue at the moment is the picture-viewer, but I hope I can handle this soon.
@sma6871: I'll test it and message you when I have questions or suggestions.
Unfortunately I forget to set trial mode, but now I send a trial mode enable update, and it will be up to date soon.
open beta out now. read 1st post!
Here is my feedback :
1.Dropdown to switch between search engines
2 Where did Advance Main Colour Gone ?
3. When I try yo change Main Colour Accent Colour it gives me sorry message "You Should not Overwrite the accent style"
4. Find Text Crashes the app
5. You can think of ignoring pics which are of very small size in the Picture view.
6. Picture viewer also picks up YouTube thumbnail as picture but does not display anything.
Hi everyone. Im one of the developers of SwitchMe, and app that allows multiple secure logins into separate installations of android on a single device. The pr is after the break.
I really need a few people to check into some issues people on some roms have been experiencing. There are some warnings involved:
- testers must perform a full nandroid backup before using the app, it is not our responsibility if you start getting boot loops
- if you report results or bugs, please use the "Write to us" function in the app whenever possible, and always describe the issue in the header of the logs you send
- if you post here, be sure to include your device type and rom
- if you have apps installed on sd, be sure to mention that as well
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
The technology behind SwitchMe saves all of your applications and data, protects it and stores it as a file in memory. You can then log out of an
account and log into a fresh installation of Android or another account with its own unique content.
You may create as many profiles as the memory is capable of holding. Some of these may require very little free memory because they contain few apps,
others will be larger as they contain many applications and lots of cache and data.
Why is this functionality useful?
Privacy - the most obvious benefit is that you can securely share one device among multiple users, which gives you privacy and peace of mind.
Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.
Gaming – with multiple installations of Android on a single device, you can now play online MMOs as different characters.
Speed - the games your kids play slow down your tablet, but with SwitchMe you can easily create profiles without games or instant messengers.
Battery life - when the battery is low but there are important emails or documents to edit later, switch to a profile which only contains these essentials.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme
The Lite version allows the creation of two profiles, enough to test on.
Screens:
Just started to test it, created 2 profiles : one main, one for testing the switching. After first switch, loading circle started, remained stuck for 10secs (same happens when switching back), then restarted. New loading screen showed up, first load took about 5-7mins. After all loaded, switchme requested SU perms and new google account interface started.
One possible bug i noticed, usually when new google account interface starts, the mobile data service is started so you would have connectivity. This time it didn't start (i had it turned off in profile 1, then switched to profile 2). Although it works properly, it just didn't start at first startup.
All my installed/downloaded applications are not included in the app drawer, so that works nice.
But a drawback i noticed. If the app is focused on the privacy part of sharing one device, gallery pics&videos are accessible from both profiles, so you might want to think of a way of restricting pics&vids accessibility only to the profile that created them (big challenge from my point of view).
All default installed application seem to work without a problem.
One strange thing i noticed, our custom ROM has Beats audio included - in profile 1 (my default one) switching Beats audio on/off works, but on profile 2 (newly created profile) switching it off makes it stuck on off (switching it back on has no effect on audio).
As i don't have a necessity for this app to run it as a daily profile switcher, can't test more in-depth scenarios, but if you want something tested/have a scenario, write it up here or send a PM. Good luck with the development.

- Only bug/or maybe a feature I noticed is The app itself have different settings between logons. I mean If I optimize in one logon, I must made the same changes in other account too. Its sometimes frustating.
- And the setting "logout automatically" not worked correctly. When I speak to someone on phone and proximty turn of the screen, and I remove phone from my ear, It shows the logon screen, everytime.
Seems like everything worked flawlesly. But I have a question. What happens if I uninstall the program?

You didnt get my point. This is happen when im on the phone with someone. I need to logon an account to hangup and this take time. If you think logically; I must be already logoned to a profile before starting to speak someone.

Ah now i see what you mean. However, my logic is still right. You are using it on a phone, and phones are not well suited to automatic log off. I mean just how often do you need to switch profiles? Surely you should be doing it manually...
