RSS apps post Google Reader Shutdown - Nook Touch Themes and Apps

Hey All,
I was an avid reader of RSS feeds on my rooted nook with Newsrob. Now that Google Reader is gone I have started using Feedly and greader app on my phone, I think greader is great and it does work on Nook (2.1) but there is no black and white theme, which makes it hard to read unless you want to turn on NoRefresh constantly and have a grainy font.
There is some hope, an updated Newsrob called GrazeRSS still works on 2.1 and looks good, though does not support Feedly though it is in the works (dev was waiting to get dev access but Feedly recently went completely open source).
Just wanted to let people know about GrazeRSS and see if there were any other RSS readers that work well on the Nook.
Also, you can request an eink friendly theme for greader here:

Thanks!

feedburner

Why did Google not integrate feedburner or google reader into the software. I read rss feeds all day. You would think it would be a perfect fit.
There are a couple of RSS readers free in the market.
PureRSS is what I use, I loves it.
though, I do love google reader
yeah I use RSSreader myself. but I find that some of the feeds just would like to see integration like everything else google has. Once a feed is read. it marks it as read on both side.

i feel the same way,
they should add a google reader app to their list of official android google apps
I use Greed myself. Works great with google reader. Just log into your google account in the app and its ready to go.

Wow thanks for the tip on greed, it works great. A bit slow and and I would like to see when you email it that the full news item goes not just a link. But I can over look it because it uses google reader. After I tried it out I uninstalled all the other readers I had.

RSS Reader that ties into Google Reader?

I've been really happy with Google Reader over the last 6 months because no matter what PC I view the feeds from, it's always up to date (I don't have to re-read old news). I used to use Thunderbird for all my RSS feeds but Google Reader has been much better for me.
The problem is, there's no way (that I have found) to view my Google Reader data via my Windows Mobile phone. Software like Newsbreak allows me to subscribe to RSS feeds and have updates on the home screen, but I don't see anything that allows me to sync it up with Google Reader.
In a perfect world, there would be software where I simply enter my login details for Google and it grabs all my reader data and notifies me of any new news I haven't yet read on my PC.
Is there something out there that does this? It doesn't appear Google has any software out there... unless they have something in beta?
you can export all of your RSS feeds and import them into RSS Hub. That's what i did. No syncing, but you can have the same feeds on reader and your phone. Just have to update manually.
Have you simply tried the mobile web page for reader from you phone?
It isn't as easy to navigate, but still keeps 1 source for all your feeds. If you mark it read on the phone, it is read everywhere else.
The mobile page is : http://www.google.com/reader/m
pRSS Reader says that it syncs to Google reader. I have not used this feature so I can't confirm how well it works but you might want to give it a shot.

Very cool... it works perfectly. Finger friendly too
Thanks for pointing that out.
Also try www.google.com/reader/i . Works pretty good with Opera. The only problem is that stars don't show up initially (for purposes of "staring" a story). However, this is overcome if you use the d-pad to zoom in or out. Then they show up.

I fully support that - the simplier the better!
Just use Google Reader
Can you explain how to sync pRSS with Google ?
it seems that does not work
Basically you provide it with your Google Reader username and password, and it sync's your account.
All your feeds from Google Reader come over to the app. Works fine, but if you have alot of feeds, syncing can take a few minutes even over wifi.
pRSS is decent, but like others have said, its slow with alot of feeds.
Also, it seems that anything you mark as read on pRSS does not get replicated onto Google Reader (as read). Only what you mark as read on Google Reader will not sync to pRSS.
Also, using the iPhone version (the /i version) of Google Reader is by far the fastest. Not to mention you dont have to open the browser once you click to read the rest of the article (since you are already on a browser).
Launching Opera and loading the reader via a favorites link is many times faster than launching pRSS and syncing. The browser interface could look better, but it gets the job done and is smooth and fast.
I use ViiGo , it sync's w/google & Yahoo. I've been using this for awhile. Very quick too.

List of working apps on Viewsonic G Tab

Anyone object to starting a list of apps that are confirmed working? I got my Viewsonic GTab yesterday and after spending hours rooting and reading these awesome forums it is starting to get useful. I've been hunting for install packages and had trouble finding a lot of them, but luckily I have a Droid X so I've been able to use the app market on it which has a lot more apps to choose from. Here is the list of applications I can confirm work on my ViewSonic G Tablet.. I'd love to hear what you have and what I should get for it.
Adober Reader
Android Mate
Angry Birds
Auto Memory Manager
Yahoo Fantasy Football
Gmail
Guns'n'Glory
Hearts! Free
Maps
Market
Mortplayer Music <- awesome for mp3's stored on secondary sd card
Pandora
Quickoffice
Robo Defense
Root Explorer
Skyfire
The Weather Channel
Tweetdeck
Google Voice <-- installs, but having problems getting setup complete
Hope someone finds this helpful... This gtab has so much potential, would love to see it get tons of support.
Pocket Legends: pocketlegends.com / android-download
Dolphin HD Browser
Fruit Ninja
Air Controller
Rock Player Universal
Not specifically any apps that work, other than to say that I sideloaded
FBReaderJ
to STOCK 1.01 TnT fw.
(OK I did have a minor contribution.)
Anyways, it'd be nice to list the fw that you're using and any other modifications that you may have made to it when presenting your lists. i.e. any particular extra tweaks that you had to do to get something to work, updating nVidia GPU driver, etc.
I have the zpad rom and I can't get Pocket Legends to run.

Skype app downloaded directly from free android apps website works fully on stock firmware with 11-22 update.
This site is prebookmarked in the stock web app. Many items from this free apps site are good working apps, and actually download and install with no STRESS!
Thanks to all who are helping make this tablet better.
More Apps
Kindle
Nook
Yahoo Messenger (not sure about Video App)
Sideloaded the apps via SD card (standard build).
You guys should compile these here: http://wiki.tegratab.com/index.php/Main_Page
Also, there could be lots of other stuff added if someone wants to help.
Wouldn't it be shorter to compile a list of apps that don't work? I'm on CM B4 and every app I've wanted installs. Sometimes you need to unmount SD card or some other tricks but that's a pretty short list.

Yep, I think that you've hit on the best idea, but break down the lists to the various stock(sideloaded apps) and cutom fws(either market or sideloaded) each with thir own section and notations for things that had been tried to get the app to function and the reason why it doesn't if known.
I'll add one.
Google Sky Map. Works - partially. The program doesn't detect the G tablet's compass (listed as a feature on several sites) correctly, so that when you pan down to the horizon it spins. It also doesn't rotate well when panned side to side for the same reason. This happens on all current firmware releases.
Help with loading nook and kindle apps
I purchased the viewsonic tablet on Friday and have been trying all weekend to find a way to get nook and kindle apps on my tablet. Tried a sideloader but to no avail. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
hmmmm....
When I started this thread I had only rooted my G-Tab and installed the OpenGL update. Many applications I tried to install did not work.
Since then I've installed TnT Lite 2.02 using the following thread as guidance:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004
Most applications I download now work. So yes, it is probably a good idea to list the apps that DON'T work. For all those who have not installed TnT Lite or zPad or something similar, you really are NOT taking full advantage of this tablet. It is freaking awesome... and fast..
Looking forward to what future updates bring...

Just read the threads on adding the android Market...
You'll need root, and then just copy/push (however you want to do it) a few files to your phone (some in system/app, /system/lib, system/etc/permissions and system/framework).
Once you do that and and sign in to your GMail account it's little more than clearing Market data and then force closing it to get access to pretty much the full market. I installed both the Kindle app and the Nook app directly from the android Market.
The information on how is here in these forums.....check this thread

Hey guys
I'm an android Nexus One owner and I recently bought an iPad and, as expected, it is driving me crazy because it is so dumbed down.
I bought it to showcase some website layouts and as a drawing tablet to make mock-up websites while I am out. I use 2, Sketcher and Autodesk Sketchbook Mobile.
Can anyone check these apps to see how they run on a GTab?

Offline RSS Reader for Nook Simple Touch

I've been searching for an RSS reader that allows to read the feeds offline, but I wasn't able to find anything.
There is no problem installing GrazeRSS and FeedMe, however I get errors when trying to log in with them.
FeedMe supports Feedly only and it shows the Moved temporarily link and then nothing (other apps using Feedly do the same).
GrazeRSS supports Feedly, The Old Reader and Newsblur. Can't log into any of them.
JustReader supports BuzQuz and Feedly. Can't log into Feedly.
GrazeRSS is an open source app, so can be potentially modified to work on Nook Simple Touch.
Luckily gReader works on the NST and allows to share articles to Pocket and Readability. Didn't manage to share via EvenClip since I can't install onto NST.
problems with gReader on NST
After testing gReader for a day I'm not so happy about it. The major problem is a lack of e-Ink theme. You may support this request at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/g_reader/wcn6jLFQaY0
Another problem for me is with scrolling. When I scroll down in many cases it scrolls up. Tried to push harder and it helps sometimes, but still far away from usable.
And I can't find a way for NoRefresh to work with gReader. When I activate NoRefresh via the 3 downward taps, it seems that gReader thinks this is a gesture for it, so NoRefresh is not turned on.
I would also like to find a reader app that works with feedly on the NST. I would probably use my Nook to read my feeds more than actual books if I could get something working.
The best use for nook apart from reading is filtered news. I have installed a version of News and Weather which opens the links in my default browser (Opera Classic (Mobile)) and have setup my custom news keyword filters as on my other android devices.
RSS is much better. Best RSS app is gReader+ which does not have ads like greader. Reader+ is the second best reader IMO.
Since google shut down rss synching in July, you have a few options to have your rss feeds stored online for rss readers to setup with. Feedly is best and has its own web(works in opera classic) & app(not installable) reader too but it is too much like a magazine for me. Others are theoldreader (free) & bazqux (30 days free but good for import/export before 30 days). These are good as your rss account synch, their readers are not good for me.
I have tested many rss apps mentioned before in nooktouch threads. None of them are working properly. Only greader from market worked and imported my feeds. Problem is it has ads. I tried numerous apps mentioned here but most are dead, others fail import from feedly or theoldreader.
I tried about 20 versions of greader+. The old ones do not have import from feedly/theoldreader. The new ones fail on import mostly fail after pressing import from feedly/theoldreader, those few greader+ that do not and attempt stop saying untrusted network certificate error.
Very recent versions of greader+ actually do not run on NTS 2.1 android, screen just flashses and aborts. If anyone finds a working rss reader which imports subscriptions from feedly or theoldreader or bazqux, or import from files xml/opml let us know here what app and what version or even upload link or file. If I find a solution I will post.
Also import your subscriptions from feedly into theoldreader and bazqux and then export them (download) as both xml & opml files to backup on your PC, also zip & email to yourself and store in your keepers email folder..
In theoldreader site, in options setup a password and then to import elsewhere from theoldreader your id is the gmail email address and your password is the one you just setup, not your gmail password. Feedly uses gmail id & gmail password.
I actually use feedly for my rss management. Since feedly app does not work on nook I found a substitute. It's called "Feedme" and it works quite cool. Have bright theme so you could say it's somewhat optmised for einks. Only minus is no screen refresh. I just put my nook to sleep and wake it up if i want my screen refreshed.

Interesting. How did you root your device? Do you use a custom kernel?
Personally I used ZeroChaos + NookManager + NTGAttack + NoRefresh + custom kernel #166 on my NST.
Feedly login used by most to authorize access feeds crashes with android 2.1 on NST. Feedme like many crashes on that for me.
Best way is to register with feedly, first, then via that with theoldreader, bazqux & ino reader And to import the xml & opml format file they generate to download.
greaqder was synched as I said before but it has ads in article list.
I got RssDemon from market to synch last night which is better as layout is similar and also gives dark theme. Better yet the ads appear not in article list but in article. It also opens links in my default browser, opera Classic aka mobile.
Better yet, I downloaded a copy of the paid version RssDemon elite last night with the license file to get rid of the ads.
JustReader also synched from market, similar enough layout to the two above, and typed in liNk (sdcard/feedly.opml) to synch feeds from file. Also a license file I downloaded worked. Exit generates crash log but does not matter as settings are remembered. Backup file generation does not work but with liceNse is ad free.
Best is ad free licensed rssdemon now, install Rssdemon elite old file, do not run, install license apk. then licensed justreader (market apk). Third best is greader from market with ads.
Best would be greader+ but newer ones crash, older ones feedly synch crashes, oldest oNes before July worked with Google rss only which is nowdead

I haven't seen any ads in free greader. But ZeroChaos filters ads somehow, so may this is the case.
And I don't mind paying for greader+ if the add an e-Ink theme https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/g_reader/wcn6jLFQaY0/V7XtZEutPIgJ and most importantly fix the problem with NoRefresh.

Zerochaos (i disabled root in config.txt) got stuck in launcher choice popup at start and many apps kept crashing while frozen. Had to restore a nandroid backup from yesterday. There is a clash with latest uimage I have probably.
The difference between greader & plus is the ads. I tried Zerochaos (Zerolab) as wanted adfree & anysoftkeyboard & Zeam (latest ones don't work). Can you upload these (/data/app or maybe in /system/app/)? Or at least tell us what versions they are?
AppBak generates a text file of installed apps/version number:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.moparisthebest.appbak&hl=en
P.S. No response from our friend. NVM. I tried from latest Zeam versions, a few days ago, but they didn't work on NST. Zeam Launcher is a free app, xda thread too, now sadly discontinued in favor of SickSky. I have used it as backup launcher, debugging etc., on my phones for a couple of years as it's so light. Usually use Nova. Versions 3.x don't work on NST. Versions 2.0.x work as do 2.2.x all the way up to 2.8.7 and 2.8.8. Versions 2.9.x and up don't work. Use v2.8.8. Advantage over ADW supplied with Glownooter is the dock can have more icons, I put 10 apps on it.
Also just installed a recent version of adfree, v0.8.66, seems to work.
I've figure out a workaround to the Feedly login issue: You can install the desired app on another android device, sign in to Feedly in the app there, and then back up the data, transfer it to the Nook, and restore it there. This worked for me for both JustReader and FeedMe, and probably works for any other app that runs 2.1. According to Feedly's API, they use OAuth with tokens that expire, but the app can refresh them. So if the app is coded correctly, in theory it should request a new token from Feedly without user input and you shouldn't see an expiration. However, if it does expire or require you to log into Feedly again for whatever reason, you would just need to redo the steps of authenticating on another Android device and then copying the data over.
Hope this helps!

I've been trying to do this but haven't succeeded yet. I installed FeedMe on my phone, logged in and transferreded both the folder at /mnt/sdcard/com.seazon.feedme/ and the file at /data/davlik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected] to the nook. I CHMODded both to match the native versions on the nook. So far it hasn't brought me success.
Is this the approach you are describing?

Sure.
In settings, custom news topics, add your own keywords of special interest + delete topics not wanted.
I really like the older version of News and Weather that doesn't open an external browser but the scrolling difficulty caused me to abandon it. The BBC news app is marginally better and at least the text is resizable. I just find that the constant switching back and forth between a feed app and the browser in the more "recent" version of News and Weather is painful.
I'm trying NewsHog now and it behaves marginally better for scrolling, offers an optional condensation of the article and then an option to open the full article in an internal browser with the same sort of scrolling issues. SIGH. I wrote to the developers and suggested an option to port scrolling to volume buttons but afterwards realized this was not a good idea because the app comes with a TTS feature (of no use on the Nook ST, of course).
So...is there a way to switch back and forth between the feed app and the browser without closing the browser and then waiting for it to reopen when you select the next item? Seems so clunky--even for a rooted Nook ST
The whole point of this news widget (developer stopped, search xda, another guy copied the app & put ads on it) is setting it up with your personal keyword filters for news topics. If you don't haVe any special iNterest keywords to search for, you might as well use any other general news app.

I think that I've found the problem with feedly auth, they use a certificate from RapidSSL that isn't included in android 2.1 if we include the certificate from GeoTrust Global CA (RapidSSL is an intermediate CA of GeoTrust) I think that should work

[LIST] [5/23/14] Old apps for Nook Simple Touch

We all know the Simple Touch is running an ancient version of Android, and there's tons of popular apps that don't work. But there's actually a large amount of apps that do work with the NST, just older versions. I decided to make a small repository for older versions of apps that work with the NST (and other Android 2.1 devices as well).​

Angry Birds³ (2.2.0) - APK
¹ Cannot view books manually uploaded to Play Books, there is a newer version that can but has major issues on the NST
² May have issues signing in to Twitter
³ Screen refresh bugs
These are just the first few apps, I'm going to be uploading many more as time goes on. Please feel free to leave a suggestion, and I'll do my best to find a version that works under Android 2.1 and the NST

Thank you so much for posting all these apps - glad to find so much stuff that is working on my freshly rooted NST.
One question: The Kindle app can't seem to find my personal documents, and apparently that's an issue with Google Books, too. Does anyone know, how to get the Android-2.1.-kindle to recoginize my documents?
Or: Does anyone know of another e-reader that does the whole syncing of the last page read like Kindle and Google books?
I love being able to read on my phone and my e-reader without constantly having to find my place in the book after switching between the two? Is there any solution you could suggest?
(apologies if this has been solved elsewhere - my search did not turn up anything)
I appreciate every bit of advice!

That's odd, it works fine on my normal Nook Simple Touch. To adjust the text size, you will have to map a button (if only temporarily) to be used as the menu button using the Nook Touch Mod Manager app. Then pressing the menu button while reading will bring up options.

What exactly do you mean by that?
Do you want the Moon Reader .apk file?
Moon reader apk file compatible with the nook simple touch would be great.
