[REQ] Designer desperately seeking developer to create TF3D RSS Reeder

A long time ago I posted the following request in de Touch Diamond section. Some people advised me to move it to this forum:
As a frequent RSS user I still didn't find an RSS Reader which uses the snappy interface and touch friendly buttons of TF3D. So I created some screens hoping an enthusiastic developer feels challenged to create an ultimate RSS reader for TF3D.
Some requirements should be:
Import feeds from OPML file and/or sync with Google Reader
Update All, Update Channel or update Feed seperately (conveniant when using roaming abroad)
Auto update (every .. minutes/hours/days) and notify when new items arrive
... And more
A great wish would be to add the program in the tab structure in TouchFlo (or as a widget in Android... as I'm switching to the Hero next week ).
So the big question is: Which developer feels the urge to create this baby????
If someone feels this urge, I will make more screens, but I first want to know if there's somebody out there who wants to help me...
Here you can find the original thread...
this looks nice..i wish somebody could make this or hopefully htc will see this & add it to tf3d-3
This is a BRILLIANT idea... I thought I was the only one wishing for this to attempted.
I want that too... would be a VERY nice app/widget indeed.
Cheers!
i want it too....anybody care to share?
Any enthusiastic developers out there?!
PLEASE!!!!!!! any developers interested??
please anyone else interested in this?
That's a really good idea. I hope it gets picked up by a designer.
Looks cool.
I've always wished there was a RSS Feeder in TF3D
up for a support to someone out there willing to share
I would really really appreciate this as well. I've been googling like hell for a good app like this, but no luck. The WM RSS reader is crap with its freeze bugs, so developing this would be great!

While your waiting I suggest you try a ROM with a Twitter tab... sign up and follow news channels of interest... works very similar to RSS feed...
Rgs,
J
what about getting ahold of the guy who wrote Speeed Reader, and seeing about integrating his application into the TF3D application
Other than that, great idea
I noticed a new ROM floating around with Sense for Android 2.1, which contains an RSS Reader & widget...
+1
Rather see RSS reader then Twitter in TF3D
+1
Bring on a RSS Feeder in TF3D!
did anything ever get developed? seems like it should be pretty straightforward now with the integration of Twitter and Facebook Tf3D tabs.

[Q] iPhone and Android Switchers - What are your Must Have Apps?

So I know there are a lot of iPhone and Android switchers coming aboard on WP7. What apps you are missing now on WP7? I would like to leverage this list to get developers to get off their rocker and start XNA and Silverlight Dev for WP7.
*FEEL FREE TO DELETE POST - SAW Sticky late*
I miss having a Bank of America app on my phone!
I'm considering jumping to WP7 from Android, but the lack of a double wide clock tile (similar to the htc sense clock) is keeping me where i am for now.
At a glance, i want to see time, current weather and upcoming appts

I missed it on wm6.5 but I bookmarked www.bofa.com and it did the same thing. And pageonce is also good.
Its okay, we all make mistakes, just keep these kinds of general discussion topics in general .
To General!

WhatsApp. God, I miss WhatsApp. But Microsoft doesn't allow developers to access the Adress Book API so we'll have to wait until they unlock that functionality.

85+ Metro Icons

Hi everyone,
I have created completely new icon set for Windows phone to help developers build better looking apps.
You can find them on ..seems I cannot post links yet..
Disadvantages:
They are not for free.
Advantages
They were originally designed in a large-size format, which allowed me to pay extra attention to every rounded corner and half-pixel line.
If new WP chassis ever comes, the shape format helps you adjust the icons into any size in a matter of minutes.
Every icon is designed with a pixel perfect precision. They look even better than the ones from MS.
Lots of them come with more variations, so you can cover every function of your app.
What is your opinion?
Should I continue in creating WP icons for more specific areas?
Nice, I know this may sound odd but I had a heck of a time finding a good set of metro media icons that had play,pause,stop,ff,rew,skip back,skip forward, repeat, and shuffle.
Thanks Dbeattie. Some of them are in Microsoft SDKs folder ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Icons ), but others (repeat, shuffle) I could design in next pack.
There ya go mate, linkage with clickage
And thanks
Nice, they look good from what I see. A few of them look really similar to icons already out there.
---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------
Also for those interested, here are some more icons for your future use.
Welcome to XDA Ladicz. Please familiarize yourself with the forums rules before posting further.
Forum & Marketplace Rules
It will see limited usage if it's not free.
If you are going the not free route, then have some way to let developers buy them (with appropriate license). There's nothing worse than coming across a great set of icons that we can't use and with no way to legally use them. Just wasted effort.
Hi xHausx, Thank you for reminding rules. I have read them. But not all obviously..
My intention to help other developers do better looking apps (by creating high quality icon set and sell them to them), increase their sales, make users happy and help whole platform rise was blind.
I fully respect deleting my "link". If I will write more, it could easily end with flame war or my ban. So instead of wasting our time I will work on my first WP game. Hope you will see it on marketplace soon. Or maybe my first 10, 20, 50 helpful posts.

App Themes/Styles Examples.....

Hi guys,
I am currently building a mobile application, but I am at the stage where my programmers are coding the app fine enough, but they are not very creative when it comes to creating the theme or style (which seems to be a common problem).
Now luckily enough, I myself graduated from college as a graphic designer, so I can create the theme (each screenshot) in photoshop and hand it to my developers to implement into the build of the app, BUT my question is to you guys...
Does anyone know of any good websites which have examples of lots of nice app styles and themes???
I also have a "carousel" feature within my app but its looking quite basic at the moment, does anyone know where i can find examples of carousel features???
Having a look at examples of good design work gives me insparation when starting design work.
So can anyone help me with this??
Cheers

[Oct 27] Official XDA One Forum App [Alpha] [APK] Version 0.1.14

XDA One has a successor. It's called XDA Labs. Click here to get it
Greetings all!
When we launched the 2015 new forum template, we promised that we were also getting ready to release XDA One, which is the first forum app for XDA developed entirely in-house (thanks to @tilal6991 for working on the code, @rwestergren for building the new API, @bitpushr for helping with server stuff, and @jerdog for his coordination). In its current (alpha) state, XDA One is a fast (and nice-looking) way to browse and post in the forums. You can access our mention/quote system, see your subscriptions, send PMs, and more. In the future we plan to add tools for moderators, integration with our Development Database, support for tablets, and more to make it the "One" place to experience all of XDA on mobile. :victory:
We have open sourced the app so that any can help make it better. Please access the XDA One GitHub repository to see the source code and/or to contribute. :highfive:
FAQ:
Why is this app in alpha?
It's not done yet and bugs still exist. As we put finishing touches on the app, we'll move closer to a beta release which will go on Google Play. Until then, we want XDA members to give it a try and help us find bugs.
What are you doing with XDA Free, XDA Premium, and Tapatalk? Will they still work?
For the foreseeable future, these apps will continue to be supported.
Why is it called "XDA One"?
As mentioned above, our vision for the app is for it to be the "One" place where you can experience all of XDA from your mobile device. In the future we will more deeply integrate the app into the site.
Are you going to charge for XDA One or will it be free?
Our plan is to make XDA One ad-supported.
I found a bug! Or, I have a feature request!
Post them in this thread. If reporting a bug, please describe the issue, steps to reproduce, and tell us what hardware and ROM (OS) you're using.
A couple of technical notes:
XDA One is developed using the Android Studio IDE. A simple debug build can be compiled using the XDA-One:assembleSimpleDebug gradle task. We will adopt the "Fork & pull" model of collaboration. Collaborators are encouraged to fork the project and submit pull requests for XDA's review, in order to be integrated back into the main release.

I was going to release this build last week but I had some issues with Marshmallows permission system. I didn’t realise Google had changed the protection level for External Storage access from normal to dangerous. So when I tried to download an attachment I got an FC. There is a slight issue with the dark and black theme, device images appear to have a white background. I’m not sure what to do with this, maybe disable the device images and revert to the placeholder Image?
Note: you may need to remove the old version before you install this one; I had some issues with my old signing keys.

Source Code
Finally an app made specifically for XDA. How about making the actual developers of the app post in here so we can all thank them?
Check out my icon pack!
Excellent! Great job guys! ?
Installing now. ?
Very much appreciated by all I am sure.
Yay!!
Awesome! Trying now. Thank you for releasing it as Alpha!

Oh Goodie! Finally!
Installing now!
EDIT - Clean Crisp UI. Loving it!! Like the Gmail Style Refresh. Just one observation. When I am in Subscribed Thread list and press Home, relanching the app Brings me back to list of Forums not Subscribed threads. Don't like this part.
Bye Bye Crap A Talk!
Thanks guys, been using it for a day now and I made a list of stuff I ran into:
The search button should have be more prominent, it shouldn't disappear until the user is in a thread. It's still useful when in a sub-forum so it could be in the location of the star when in a thread.
The brown doesn't make a whole lot of sense anymore, it's nowhere to be found on the site so why is it still in the app?
When opening subscribtions I think subscribed threads should be the default view instead of subscribed forums, but I guess that depends on how users use the subscribtion functionality.
There's a lot of space in the blue square with the user-name and avatar in it, you could list the message, quote and mention counts there, and I'm not sure why my e-mail address is there?
Giving the new thread button such a prominent place doesn't make a lot of sense and I think it encourages posting a new thread instead of encouraging users to search.
There should be a way to add a device to "my devices" from the app, perhaps a star in the action bar just like the subscribe stars on the forum list when in a device forum?
The button for opening the "insert smilie" looks like a place-holder, but just to be sure it clashes like crazy with the rest of the interface. And I think "insert emoticon" would be a better name for the interface.
This is meant in the most constructive way possible, I've just been reading a lot on interaction design and couldn't help myself. I'll try and fiddle with the color scheme a bit this weekend, I have something like this in mind.
Thanks @svetius and @Woody for linking me.
Reporting back in a few minutes.
I like this color scheme, and this is exactly the kind of thing we were hoping to see when developing this app. Looking forward to seeing your contributions!
Thanks @svetius and @Judge Joseph Dredd

Please make sure that before you install this you are fully aware that it is an ALPHA (it even says so in it's title ). So there WILL be bugs. Best way that you can help the awesome team that put this together is by submitting a "proper" bug report with a logcat attached.
Don't know how to pull a logcat? Well I have just the thread for you. [GUIDE] Easiest Way to Utilize Catlog Believe me, a logcat and bug report go soooo much further than, "It's broke. Please fix". We've been using this for about a month and it has come along tremendously since then.
Also note that a Bug Report is not the same thing as a Feature Request. Knowing the difference will help everyone out in the long run.
Will install it, let's see how good it is!

Using the app now, really smooth. Would like to select what screen the app will open on (subscribed, notifications, news, etc). Also the reply UI is a little cramped,maybe if you widen the text area it will make it look a lot more comfortable.
I also agree with the previous post the the smiley icon clashes with the entire UI.
Also, I now that the hamburger drawer is the Android way to go, but I think it would be better if I don't have to scroll through it. Add a settings button or merge a few options in to one so that all the links information fits on one screen.
I appreciate the hard work, looks awesome and I look forward to the finished product.
Been waiting a long time for this and will take it for a spin! Cool
So, I've been using it for a while and it looks amazing! The design is waaaay better now, and everything's more clean! Thanks for the nice app
Yay!!
Ohhh yeah been waiting for this since the forum redesign and svetius mentioning an app in the comments on portal. For an alpha, this is fantastic! Great work all involved :highfive:
Edit : I couldn't find a way to edit my post... So I'm editing my post from Tapatalk which reinforced this statement... Xda one SMOKES Tapatalk for speed. Absolutely annihilates it
I am loving this! Be testing starting now!
@Nick Fury, the new version is available now.
I've been looking forward to this release for months and months now (probably even longer - dependant on when I first saw it mentioned) and am glad to see it's here and working great with it sure to get even better in future releases.
The only thing I've noticed so far is that checking new mentions/quotes doesn't clear them from the site. I realize it's only an alpha though so there'll be a lot which isn't included yet
