BlinkFeed and custom RSS feeds - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey people. I know it is not a topic for doubts but I could not understand how the BlinkFeed manages 2 or more RSS custom feeds.
I had the impression that it does not mix all the feeds so I have to slide the screen to the left and tap the other feeds to check all of them.
Should it be like that? I look for a interface that works like the dead Google Reader.

You can't see all the manual RSS feeds together in Blinkfeed. You have to choose each one of them every time.
If you want a better reader I would recommend checking Feedly.

Thanks oodles! I was trying to get Opera mini to handle RSS but:
a) it didn't allow me to group them so I could separate them by content (text vs audio) and frequency (I keep a list of ~40 RSS feeds and have annotated them by their update frequency)
b) I couldn't edit the names
c) it didn't work on the BBC Newspod feed
RSS Hub solves all of those and the interface is elegant. Thanks again!
RSS hub help with scrolling
Hello, I was wondering if anyone using RSS hub has found it annoying to scroll while in an open feed.
Usually, I open a feed to an article I wish to read. The short blurb doesn't cut it so I wish to scroll done to, "Read More Online...". But when I attempt to scroll to the bottom, it doesn't scroll, rather it highlights the words.
Is there a way to smart scroll within the feed that is still open by RSS hub?
Thanks for reading guys.

well, are you only lightly pressing, cause that is the exact thing that happens. you really have to push it down for the flick scrolling to kick in. otherwise you will highlight...
or try yomomedia which is actually a lot nicer
nope not light touch
@ Vader165
Nope, not light touch, regardless if I press hard or not, when the feed is open with RSS Hub, it just highlights. Any solutions?
@ Kwill
Yomomedia is actually quite nice interface. As much as it is aesthetically pleasing, it takes a while to load. However, I think I will have to use this, if I am not able to smart scroll in RSS Hub.

I’m guessing your running a WM 6.5 ROM? If so this is normal behavior and cannot be fixed. The kinetic scrolling of 6.5 breaks the touchflo in certain apps and the RSS Hub happens to be one of them. I always just have to use the side scroll bars to scroll through an article. I enlarge the width of my vertical scroll bars using Advanced config and it makes it a lot easier.
Great tip

Great tip. I went on and employed this and it makes using the RSS Hub under 6.5 a lot better.
One more question, if you don't mind Climber, is there a way to move the scroll bar to the left, for lefties like me?
Thanks for the tip again!

Sorry but as far as I know this is not possible. You would think that Microsoft would have added this option considering that not everyone is right handed.
you could use the new version of Rss hub, newsbreak. i have it and i love it because it actually does podcasts. and well.
SPB Online
I just downloaded SPB Online, which contains an RSS reader and the "touchflo" scrolling works in article view. As a matter of fact, this is the best RSS reader I have ever used. It's not free, but if you access your RSS reader as often as I do it's well worth the money.

Android Rss reader: Need a widget that shows pictures

as ive said in previous posts, I am a recent convert from windows mobile. I had an app on my htc advantage, that was an independant rss reader, as well as a full function rss widget for my home screen. Alot of my rss feeds are photoblogs, or at least news/websites that have photos with the rss feed. This app I had for windows mobile would show the headline of each article along with the first two or three lines AND the picture ON the home screen widget. I have yet to find any rss reader apps with widgets, or standalone widgets that would display the headline including any picture on the homescreen. Does anyone know of an android reader with a widget that does show pictures?
Ok, I think ive gone through every rss reader in the market and none have any sort of picture support in their widgets. Does anyone have any suggestions, or would any eager coders fee like designing a widget that would do this?
if anyone happens to try an rss app and notice that it displays pictures thru a widget....please let me know as I am still in need and looking.
AnyRSS Widget
Unfortunatly Anyrss reader does not display pictures in the widget. Both engadet and gizmodo have pictures of items for each post, that I am looking to have displayed with each headline.
Try FeedR, its 0.99c on the market. Set the feed you want on as a shortcut and it displays images when you collapse it. If you don't like it you can get a refund within 24hrs.
You'd think google would have google reader considering it's their OS
Thanks origins81, I dont think i have tried Feedr yet. I will give it a run this afternoon.
I now have Feedr, but it doesent look like it has any kind of widget support at all. Yes you can create shortcuts on your home screens to a specific feed, but then when you click on it, it opens the whole reader app. The shortcut isnt even a picture, just a generic feedr icon. I'm thinking it may have been an older version of SPB Insight that did the trick on winmo. If i updated my engadget feed, it would download the most recent say 15 posts, and then on my homescreen, it would cycle through the headlines with the corresponding picture that went with each post.
I am still on the hunt for this, I posted a few comments requesting picture widget support for the most popular rss readers on the market....hopefully someone will hear my cry
There is a new version of FeedR with widget support now, though I've not tried it.
The best RSS widgets I've come across are the News Buzz/Mobile Buzz/Gaming Buzz ones by mippin.com...the only problem is that the feeds are automatic and not customisable. That said you can choose a category e.g. Android on Mobile Buzz and it fetches a good selection of news.
Mik
Please let me know if you found one.
esp, widget shows multi lines with img. thanks.

You my friend, are a hero.
I've searched for days, I saw it before, but always thought pulse news was just some news site that showed only their news.
For an RSS android app widget that shows pictures, and text, this is excellent! Loving pulse news widget! All my favorite sites feeds with pictures! (<---Intentionally worded with keywords so others searching for this type of widget would come up easier in search engines)
You're more than welcome! Glad I could help out with something on xda even with me being a semi-noob!
Sorry I'm posting but xDA all of a sudden says that I don't have permission because I have never posted so this is what I'm posting, sorry to post this, but I don't have a choice thanks xda!

Manila 2.5 - idea for a new tab

Hi everybody:
What if Manilla 2.5 (Manila 2.1 also) can have an extra tab just like the weather tab, to display horoscope and horoscope forcasts for upcoming days !
Just an idea?
Myspace, youtube, facebook, Beejive IM, something like that. :].
How about tasks, notes, system status and stuff like that? LOL
Ever since I saw the Twitter tab I always wished it was Facebook tab instead with the latest wall posts. Would be much more useful to me (and everybody I know) who just doesn't use or care about Twitter.

A RSS feed tab - with push headline updates.

+1 Totally agree with you
I have been using the twitter tab as a simple rss feed app but can't get my internet connectivity to stabilize on TF2.5 roms, so gonna flash back to 2.1 and try pockettwit or something like that.
A facebook tab would be sick since the windows fb app blows. I just discovered the facebook sms function that lets you update your status and read comments using text messages. Someone should develop an app that creates TF3D tabs. Set url links, have widget-like functions, links to device system functions...
how about a seperate youtube tab? myspace and facebook would be koo too. try the horoscope with 3d animations let see how that goes.
+1 for Facebook tab
-1 for horoscope - superstitious nonsense!
Id really like to see a tab for Music videos within the selective music tabs. I know its kinda random but id like to c it done.
+1 For Facebook, Myspace, and RSS tabs.
would love to see a facebook tab to!!
Well we got the ideas, now who is working on them?
I haven't tried to code anything in a few years but with all the Facebook API being used I don't think it would be hard at all.

Google Map and Facebook would be nice as well.

me too i would realy want to know how to add a tab or want to see some other Roms has something similar to this tab, it would be nice to see facebook, RSS Hub and even the messging/mail systems function like twitter tab. but it would be very good if they include "select All" "delete All" "go to the first post" "go to the last post" to the twitter tab

Well, I voted "No" because the Poll asked specifically about a Horoscope tab. Horoscope? Are you kidding?
If the Poll was about asking some other kind of tab, well, sure, maybe.
I think it would be great if there were more choices for tab-apps...but I wouldn't want more tabs. More tabs just means I have to scroll further, back or forth, to find what I want. I prefer the array of choices that the Programs tab has -- that way I can see 16 choices at once (on the Photon) without having to scroll around.
But that's just me.

[Q] Blinkfeed agenda always first

Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to have the agenda on blinkfeed put always before the other news.
The first time I refresh for a new day i see me agenda on the left with other news, but if i refresh later the fresh news are put front, and the agenda go at the bottom even if the event displayed has not occured yet, which is really annoying, it would be better to always have the agenda displayed at the top of blinkfeed.
Do you know if there is an options for that ?
Sorry for my english i am French.
Thank you very much !

Hi,
not really using BlinkFeed myself, as I'm on Nova launcher, but from what I've seen HTC doesn't give you much in way of customizing the feed other than deciding what goes in, no way to control where or in which order content will be displayed

[Q] Blinkfeed custom RSS in the foreground

Hello all, i have a simple question
I've learned that now you can add custom rss to blinkfeed via adb:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489219
but my question is... how to mix those custom RSS with the foreground articles?
Every time to see articles from my custom RSS i have to swipe left and select the RSS.. but i want to mix them with all the others news.
I don't know if my answer is clear, hope it is xD
Thanks

apparently you can't have your custom feeds mix with the highlights. I contacted HTC and told them I'd like to see those feeds with my other feeds otherwise whats the sense no pun intended to do this. I suggest you call them and request it also. The more that do the more likely they are to code for this.
