Scrollable News Widget (v. 1.4.4.1) Разработано Gilles Dodinet |
-- Scrollable RSS reader widget --
* do not install on SD! *
Please be sure to read the change log below and to understand the nature of the changes before commenting.
Please read this short text!
Version 1.4.4 introduced an option to ignore images smaller than a given size (default is 150px). If you cannot load thumbnails, please check that option (in main settings).
DO NOT USE the market comment feature to report issues. Please rather report any issue either via mail or via the dedicated xda thread and provide the faulty urls and as many details as possible to allow me to investigate the issue, without that information i cannot fix anything. I will not investigate issues reported via the market comment feature. Thanks!
Older versions are also linked in the "About" section (accessible via the contextual menu).
NOTES:
1. Since 1.4.0.1, this widget supports GReader and news sharing through the Scrollable News Addons.
2. Default and shared preferences are accessible either through the SNW application in app drawer or through the "Main settings" option in the contextual menu (menu hard button).
FEATURES:
- Scrollable widget
- Multiple instances and sizes
- Appearance customization
- Multiple layouts
- OMPL Import/export to SD
- Feed color discriminant
- Simple thumbnail support
- Feed lookup (browsing the target)
- Feed search (using googleapis)
- Simple addon support
- GReader integration with Scrollable News Addon
Other notes:
0. Zeam doens't support Scrollable API since version 2.9.0. Thus this widget cannot work with Zeam anymore.
1. 1.4.0 introduces a simple addon support. GReader is integrated as an addon (since 1.4.0.1)
2. Since 1.3.3, refresh can be triggered either by clicking the title directly or by using the ongoing notification.
3. This widget requires a launcher that supports the Scrollable Widget API. Examples: Launcher Pro, ADW, Go Launcher. Please make sure that scrollable widget support is enabled in your launcher preferences. This widget has been tested against ADW, LP and GO Launcher on HTC Desire (froyo 2.2.1) and Motorola Defy (eclair 2.1-u1).
4. Reporting issues in the market comments is of no use. Please use the dedicated xda thread.
5. Please realize that the simple fact that your most wanted feature is not implemented doesn't necessarily makes the application crappy.
6. Insane thumbnail settings may not be handled gracefully (for instance: 10 feeds, 120 max news entries, thumbnail size: 180). Although i tried to handle that issue properly on the widget side, you may still experiment FC or awful lag in such cases.
Please see the xda thread for full version history.

|
[2011-08-07] Erik: Can't post to XDA thread. I am having trouble with this under ADW launcher on samsung infuse. Keep losing my feeds and have to go back and reset up everything. Can't post to XDA thread as suggested because you need min of 10 previous posts to post there. Not a good place to provide support to new users due to this requirement. |
|
[2011-08-05] alexalexoe: just bad i cant find the setting where i can get the weather and phone call like in the preview screenshoot |

|
[2011-07-01] APz: Does its job well I wanted a simple news reader for one of my spare desktops, and this is all I wanted. The only downside are some minor bugs, where the program stop updating the feeds. |

|
[2011-06-26] Ben: almost perfect the app itself is great with lots of customisation, but im having issues with scrolling in launcher pro, haptic feedback keeps kicking in and it thinks im long pressing the widget so the bin pops up. also please add custom colours for background |
|
[2011-06-19] Kire: The best rss app |
|

|
[2011-06-16] Dave: Perfect. |
|
[2011-06-05] Rocco13: Very customizable RSS widget with a clean design In a previous review, I wrote "Wish it could import or reference my existing feeds in Google Reader" - I should have read more carefully, as there is an add-on that does this. |
|
[2011-06-05] Stephen: Wonderful apparent, keep feeding the news. But can't updates two feeds at once. Please fix |

|
[2011-05-11] forestcall: When I select to add a widget there is nothing for this app! Maybe this is not compatible with GoLauncher or Android 2.3 or HTC Desire? |
|
[2011-05-11] Reid: Love it. Style blends perfectly with S23 XGT Launcherpro skin. Nice search & easy to find feeds - would be nice if it searched webpages like AtomaRSS. |
|
[2011-05-08] Dan: Used to display thumbnails, has stopped doing so. Switching to Pure News. |
|
[2011-05-05] the 5/7/2011 : Problem when restarting the phone the widget gives an error. Galaxys |
|
[2011-05-04] TheDave1022: Needs a way to auto refresh feed similar to launcherpro widgets. Would be great if feeds could somehow open in google reader |
|
[2011-05-04] jim: Works great for getting a Honeycomb look with Launcher Pro. But scrolling is a bit choppy when Live wallpaper is used.HTC Inspire |
|
[2011-05-04] Russell: Truly excellent and highly configurable app, my only gripe is that the news resets to the top every time I rotate my phone (samsung galaxy s 2) |
|
[2011-05-01] David Chan: The bug seems still there. Cannot update some RSS with this 1.4.1.1 update. |

|
[2011-04-25] Jamie: Looks gorgeous and has the potential to be the best. Needs a bit of tweaking and g reader integration. Looking forward to seeing the updates. HTC Des |
|
[2011-04-25] electronic.buffet: Very good add-on for launcher pro. Google Reader integration would be handy. |
|
[2011-04-24] Alan : Ok, but still hard to manually refresh |
|
[2011-04-23] Jai: Google reader support please. |
|
[2011-04-20] Nitesh: Great app, very effective and reliable. |
|
[2011-04-20] Jonathan: Best RSS news widget and I have tried a bunch. The only problem is when you scroll through feeds it tries to move the whole widget sometimes. |
|
[2011-04-19] Michael: Great app.. just needs to deal a bit better with getting confused by long press gestures instead of a sliding one & border color customizations. |
|
[2011-04-16] Manny: Love the widget but it is limited. No google reader integration, no sharing of links. |
|
[2011-04-08] haris: This is cool widget, works fine on Defy. Vertical scrolling needs to be improved. |
|
[2011-04-06] Mariusz: Ah, the convenience of scrollable widgets ;) Thanks |
|
[2011-03-23] James: It would be nice if the app could actually look up the feeds I want to fallow |
|

|
[2011-03-17] phoen1x: Was brilliant, now no longer works - nothing happens when I press on the news story - with go launcher ex. Please fix. |
|
[2011-03-16] Edwin: The latest Go Launcher EX update broke this widget. It won't open the built-in browser anymore. |
|
[2011-03-16] Darvin: Don't like the idea of showing the author instead of the feeds name. That kill it for me since I want to know where the article are from** |
|
[2011-03-10] RWS: One of those widgets that make me glad I own an android, Galaxy Tab, ADW EX |
|
[2011-03-03] Ron: I like this app.. But why isn't it updating the contents?? :-X :-/ |
|
[2011-03-02] JM ツ: So I am on HTC Desire... |
|
[2011-02-28] Jackie: I love the customization options! The scrolling is also very handy! |
|
[2011-02-28] Arry: If the greader integration is done, this app will be perfect for me. So I'll wait. |
|
[2011-02-26] Sid: Needs smoother scrolling, & slows down the home screens. Feeds open in full web pages instead of RSS text...but still the best RSS widget out there. |

[2011-02-19] Sai: it doesnt even load on my moto charm |
|
[2011-02-16] JC: Love the large widget with mixed feeds. Had a little difficulty with the feed editor, but after reviewing the comps I figured it out. This's a keeper |
|
[2011-02-16] Grace: Stopped refreshing, even after replacing the widget - last articles from the 14th |
|
[2011-02-15] Belal: Grateful to your work. However , it needs to get optimized to be competitive |

|
[2011-02-09] Noel: doesnt work on gingerbread. |
|
[2011-02-08] Derek: *Scrollable widgets DO NOT WORK with stock launcher! Dev: Image support, and google reader integration are a must. AtomaRSS is better. |
|
[2011-02-07] Scott: Great app. Works well. Follow directions. |
|
[2011-02-07] Mark: Would be the best reader if google reader feeds were integrated... Please dev, I'd happily pay for that! |

|
[2011-02-01] Dan: Excellent RSS widget. Love that it has a built in viewer and doesn't open articles in browser. |
|
[2011-02-01] Miika: Finally a rss reader that has just enough configurability without being bloated of them. Scrollable widget is in par with Sense reader widget. |
