Update[APP][17.Sep 09][WM6.5]--- TitaniumRSS -V1.1- ---["Black Beauty"] - Windows Mobile Apps and Games

Hi 2 all,
now you don't have to wait any longer
Changed State: RELEASE 1.1, 17. Sep. 200, 2.30 p.m. MESZ
I developed / will still develop a Titanium Plugin for RSS (my external RSS-Reader is to powerful... and too ... external ) - therefore TitaniumRSS
A RSS-Reader is much more, if it's integrated in Titanium - It's an information application - you don't have to use so much external apps, which lists the current TV program or cinema news or Newspaper Reading or...
*click here to see, that it's indifferent, that it's a RSS-Reader*

At first:
Please read Installation-Instructions here in Post - also the FAQs and the short description in Post #2
I'm not responsible for any damage to your device -but I don't think there will be something damaged
TitaniumRSS will already use in the Basic Version ("Black Beauty") some special Features of Titanium, which aren't in use in other Titanum-Pluins at the moment. It's an Application - Titanium is only the view.
Developed in C (MSDN) , C++ (MSDN/MFC) and cascaded Mort-Scripts.
Will run on each ROM, indifferent to the ROM's language and its directory structures
Also all common resolutions - run and tested on QVGA, WQVGA, VGA, WVGA
In V1 it's made for Standard Titanium - so everything which is using "Titanium<your_res>.cpr" and should also run fine on the standard Titanium-Themes which uses TitaniumListView.
For support to special-cpr-Themes: Later versions perhaps.
TitaniumRSS is free!!! If you downloaded it from somewhere else,and you have paid for it - fetch your money back and download it free from here or htc-developers.de. I would be delighted about a coffee - but I don't develop here too earn money.
If you want to post TitaniumRSS somewhere else: only with quoting the Text beneath
Changelog:
1.1:
- Added more Backgroundprocesses to fill Panels, so:
- Faster turning Overview-Panel
- Fast changing FullView-Item-Overview
- Faster animations
- Now you can change the number of Items in a Feed -> Titanium.ini: maxitems (Recommended: 5,10,15,20,...)
- Turning backwards in Page1 of Overview - you will get to last feed
- Turning forwards from Last Feed - you will get to Page1 in Full View
- Improved Background-Process-Handling
- Restore last TitaniumRSS.ini
- Feed-Reader deletes old items after changing maxitems
- showing Feednumber in Item-Title in Full View
- some little bugfixes
- ..much more little things
Features 1.0:
- up to 96 Feeds
- On-The-Fly-Switching between Preview (Stndard-Titanium) and FulView (special cpr for TitaniumRSS - using your Titanium-Style!!!)
- All Panels animated
- All common Resolutions: QVGA, WQVGA,VGA,WVGA
- Most of Icons are Buttons!!! No need for controlling TitaniumRSS by Contextmenu - except for Updating the Feeds and toggling View (see Post #2)
- Nevertheless of course: Contextmenus according to current Page
- Possibility to jump direct into Feed online
- Pssibility to read Feed-Text OFFLINE in Browser for HTML-Feeds
- 2 different skins possible byOn-he-fly-Switching (e.g. JMLToday-Skins!)
- developed in C, C++ and Mortscript
- for all Standard-Titanium-Themes
- Feeds can be stored in Internal Storage (recommended: direct in Internal Storage folder, TitaniumRSS wilm create automatically "TitaniumRSSFeeds" as Subdirectory - later the Skins will rely on this directory and TitaniumRSS will make all full-automatic)
- Secure switch to FullView -your original system (.cpr) will never be touched of TitanumRSS
- Fallback mechanism to switch back to Preview Mode - even after uninstalling
- much more.. find it out...
Limitations of V 1.0:
- App-Language: english - langage support will come later
- Skin-Support wll also come later, if much more wishes are implemented - makes more sense. But then: n the fly-switchng between Skins
- Feed-Text-Size up to 1 MB (that's large enough for 98% of all feeds for beginning)
- Item-Count: Hardcoded to 10 Items in V1.0 - will be maked flexible in one of the next updates -> no more in V1.1
Installation:
Please consider at first:
There is "CAN" and "MUST".
But everything except from TitaniumRSS.cab has to be done only one time. Afterwards it's enough to update only TtitaniumRSS itself.
One warning: Never update or uninstall TitaniumRSS in FullView -because that's not your original cpr - but if you forgot it - no problem -read the FAQs
CAN be made :
- Install JMLToday *Download JMLToday* and JMLLibrary >=0.3*Download JMLLibrary* for Comm-Manager-Functionalities.
TitaniumRSSwill see while analysation, that JMLTodayis installed and will set it as Top-Plugin in FullView instead of CClock.
- in Post #2 yu will find a special TitaniumRSS-Skin for JMLToday (animated digital clock already for 5.4 and upper) - which suits to Black design of TitaniumRSS. With Reanalysation you can make it that it'snly in FullView and youcan use another skin in norml Titanium-Mode ("Preview")
MUST (one time) :
- Mortscript 4.2 *Download Mortscript 4.2*
- JMLPanex >= 0.99 / better 1.0 *Download JMLPanex* ,that Titanium-Buttons are working
Installation newest Version of TitaniumRSS :
- if youhavea previous Versin ofTitaniumRSS: Switch to Preview Mode!!! (otherwise don't complain - read FAQs
-also ifyouhave a previous Version ofTitaniumRSS: Save your TitaniumRSS.ini. You will be asked to use former .ini while installing,but if you would say accidently "no"...
- Install TitaniumRSS - .cab into MAIN STORAGE like each Titanium Plugin
during install:
-- as directory for Feeds choose DIRECT "Internal Storage" when you are asked. TitaniumRSS will create subfolder ""TitaniumRSSFeeds" (will be later used also for Skins)
-- If Window for Analysation appears - only press Start -TitaniumRSS will need app. 2 seconds to analyse and clone yoursystem and inject the FullMod-Panels. If successfull - window will close automatic.
Handling:
To manage your Feeds - only edit the TitaniumRSS.ini in Installation Directory of TitaniumRSS ( \program files\TitanumRSS )
A later Version will make this by Menu, but not for now.
So please have a look - the Value "Hinterster Feed" must set to the number of the last Feed, you have set in TitaniumRSS.ini
I think it's self-explaininghow to manage your Feeds.
Therefore that Windows Mobile is still Beta and TitaniumRSS uses muchFunctions of titanium - if there are any issues -please tell me your Build,too.I hope we can all get rid of this issues if Final WinMo 6.5 is released.
Credits goes to:
- My Beta-Testers!!! Thank you - so we know that 1.0 is stable!
Especially thx to: Jumba, tb1502, lesscro,johncmolyneux,ultravox,ric69,aaronpoweruser and much more!!! Sorry - I don't want to forget sb.
- JMHL for JMLPanex! and much more

Short description & FAQs & suitable JMLTodaySkin for TitaniumRSS
Short description:
I think I made it intuitive to control TitaniumRSS.
After install you are inPreview Mode - youcan toggle between Preview - and FullView by Menu. In FullView you get 4 new "Sub-"Plugins with bigger size to read the RSS full - in Preview Mode you can read the Beginnings of each Text, to know, if it's interesting at the moment.
The most things (exept Buttons) can be done with the Buttons in the Plugin - thank JMLPanex.
I made to graphics to explain:
PreviewMode:
FullViewMode:
To choose which feeds you want to have - in V1.0 you have to edit the TitaniumRSS.ini. One example for a feed-entry:
Code:
[Feed1]
shortname=XDA-Devs all
url=http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=260
maxitems=10
includepics=0
offlineReading=0
marked=0
updated=1
updating=0
I think it's self-explaining - but: maxitem,inludepics,offlineReading has no effect in 1.0 - it's enough to change shortname and url
And the Number of the Feed of course
And here's the settings, also in TitaniumRSS.ini:
Code:
[General]
FeedPath=\Interner Speicher\TitaniumRSSFeeds
HintersterFeed=19
[Settings]
TurnAnimationDelay=170
FlipAnimationDelay=190
PanexPath=\Programme\JMLPanex
TextSignsPerLine=48
FullTextSignsPerLine1=42
FullTextSignsPerLine2=50
TextLines=4
FullTextLines1=3
FullTextLines2=5
You can play around with the animation speed - but please tell me, what would be better for your device.
And one important thing: Please set "Hinterster Feed" to the number of the last feed you have set. e.g. your last feed is [feed19] - set it to HintersterFeed=19
This will be in a later done automatically by Config-Menuin in a later version of TitaniumRSS. I think it's not too hard for now
FAQs:
Where's the suitable MLToday-Skin in "Black Beauty-Style"?
Look at bottom of this Post
If have updated/uninstalled TitaniumRSS and see red crosses now or "Install now"...
...andyou have forget to say, that you didn't read Post #1
You have updated/reinstalled in FullView - and so you uninstaled your current view. But never mind: In "Internal Storage\TitaniumRSSFeeds\Internals" you will find the 'trssSwitchback.mscr' - it won't be uninstalled - click on it to switch back.
If you have reinstalled TitaniumRSS (e.g. new Version) in FullMode - you would see this "install now"- but you have already a Link inStartmenu->Utilities->TitaniumRSS->"TitaniumRSS Preview" to switch back.
If you deleted all that, too... TitaniumRSS never changes your .cpr -and so: With CHOME-Editor look into ExtensibilityXML and replace CPRFileName="TitaniumRSS" with CPRFileName="Titanium"
only english?
yes - choose of language is prepared, but not active. Later version.
But your feeds can have each language you like But Signs-wrapping is needed in later version for speciallanguage to read 'em better
I see HTML-Code insome feeds
Yes -there'saneed of aHTML-Wrapper. There's nothing free-soIhave write it sometimes. Meanwhile youhave the option inFullView inContextmenu "Read HTML in Browser(offline)" - your Default Browser will show the Text without connectiong to internet.
Which options are to update?
You can mark each fead in Main-Plugin - only by tapping on text - nd afterwards "Update Marked Feeds" in Context Menu
Or "Mark All" and Update Marked feeds... would update all
Or a single feed - in PReview or Full View you have the option in Context-Menu to update only this feed
What means blue,red and green progress-Bars?
Blue= While updating marked feeds -the progress of complete update
Red=Single/current Update: checking & establishing internet connection
Green=Single/current Update: Internet connected - download and handling Feed
I use sometimes WLAN to update - will my device be disconnected while updating much feeds, because of suspend?
No - Suspend is during Updating Feeds disabled Only Backlight is going down to save energy.
The animations stuck sometimes
Titanium cannot display .gif's. So I use .png-Motion Try to change setting to get it better. I will make some caching to improve it later on, too.
And also: Pay attention, that you don't have 24/7-Mortscripts running in your system - the slow down your whole Titanium - TitaniumRSS doesn't use 24/7-Mortscripts.
Nothing works / I get error messages
You have install JMLPanex and Mortscript?
Some Feeds aren't shown
You've made actualizaion for FullMode with Button?
You have set "HintersterFeed" in TitaniumRSS.ini correct?
You use a Standard-Titanium-Theme - nothing with BronzeListView?
I would like to have a bigger Rad-Panel and/or bigger Sizes of Letters
You could made it manually by editing the trssinstall_insert.plg andReanalyse your Theme. But later on, TitaniumRSS will support Skinning - and there will be muchdifferent outfits - how yo like it. But please tell me your wishes -and if somebodywants to skin - please tell me, too. I'm no good Skinner - I'm a stupid developer
What's the secret of the On-the-Fly-change?
I have developed an analyser,which clones your system (onlyyour resolution ) and injects new panels in this clone. Like a flexible ATPluginInstaller
I like TitaniumRSS and I have some wishes for features
Tell me here in the Thread
Suitable JMLToday-Skin for TitaniumRSS:
Remakr: With ReanalyseTheme in Preview you transfer this Skin to FullView. And afterwards changing the Skin in Previewwould give you 2 different JMLToday-Skins
Here's a Screenshot (But the numbers are now similiar to the TitaniumRSS-numbers - thanx Vinsos) :
Download attached jmlToday_TitaniumRSS1_by_Micha.CAB and
clockTitaniumRSS1.CAB
and install it in Preview Mode,choose this Skin by JMLTody-Context-Menu

The former initial Post for stating this Project- you can still answer the questions:
Hi 2 all,
Changed State: Now under Beta-Test by the Tester
I'm about to make a Titanium Plugin for RSS (my external RSS-Reader is to powerful... and too ... external ) - therefore TitaniumRSS - but I don't won't to develop at cross-purposes - and need to know, which things would be needful for you, if you have a RSS-Reader direct in Titanium.
Of course each "professional User" - who always reads RSS, will use his external RSS-Reader - but on the other hand, an integration would be very useful - for me too
I already knows how it should looks like and some parts of it are implemented (The Parts who could be changed or skinned, are controlled by MortScript, the other parts C++)
But I need a little time - I'm busy at the moment,too, and want to make an private Beta phase before publishing - and need some Testers,too.
Goals:
- very nice looking
- using the features of Titanium
- adaptable to all Skins/Themes/Resolutions/Languages
- easy to use
- stay as long in Titanium if senseful (offline-reading in Titanium)
- much more
But to achieve this and your goal - I need a Feedback, and it would be kind, if you'd answer some questions and could support your own style.
And how much of you would like to have a TitaniumRSS (otherwise I would develop it for me )
It would help me to get a priority of TitaniumRSS development.
Here's the questions (only copy and answer in this thread here)
How much RSS feeds do you usually read? (please make a difference between often used and seldom used Feeds)
How often do you read RSS Feeds?
Would you read some RSS Feeds more often, if it's direct integrated in Titanium?
How important is for you (you can take 1-10, 10=very important, or free text answer):
- offline reading?
- integration in your skin?
- skinable for your personal use?
- cool outfit?
- Storage use?
- "Keyword"-Search? (Notification if a special word or phrase is in a new Feed-Item.
- Possibility to direct call of Links which are mentioned in a Skin?
- Look at the pictures of a feed? (chooseable)
Which Resolution has your device? (VGA, QVGA,...)
Which Style/Skin in Titanium do you use actually? (Please Name and link to the thread, where it's provided or upload a picture of it)
IF possible, could you upload in your answer as attachment your "Titanium_<your resolution>.cpr" from the Windows-Directory as zip (very important for me) ?
Do you think it's a good idea at all or are you bored?
Do you use PodCasts, too? (more Audio or Video?) Or Blogs?
Do you use JMLToday of JMHL and me? (There will be probably made some nice interactions)
Which other wishes/requirements/ideas would you have for TitaniumRSS?
Could you tell me - maximum 3 - RSS-Feeds, which are your Favorites?
Would you like to be Beta-Tester for your Resolution/Titanium-Skin for TitaniumRSS?
Thanx in advance to all - please gimme some time to implement and test it.
You can also answer here without answering all the questions

This might work for low-volume updated RSS, but if you have at least medium traffic, imagine the amount of notifications...
This might be more a bugger than actually using the external reader.

@adwinp: Yes - you're right - that's all the things, I also thought about - but for every problem there's a solution. The storage of feeds will be in Internal Storage of course - and everybody knows,how "big" the Feeds should be - and there will be maximum borders for the single elements, which are chooseable.
The size of a feed - yes - that's everybody's own decision - but if I will see a need later on - I could make a compression, too.
I want a Reader, which fills the gap between a rudimentary reader and a professional external Reader - so that a "seldom-Feed-Reader-Users also like a Continous-Very-often-Feed-Reader-User gets his own benefits. Like the purposes between - Preview, complete Reading, some other things - all with the possible capabilities of Titanium - and Titanium has really much more capabilities, than we already use. And what's important for me - eye-candy
You will see it in next JMLToday-Version - and also in TitaniumRSS.
But for some things I need a little input - therefore the question for the cpr's.
And notifications - it will be adaptable to the own preferences (I also would be nerved by to much notifications)
@saf100792: Cool outfit = eye candy.. sorry
Thanx for the .cpr - very helpful. I will write you, when I have the first testable version (depends on job work at the moment)
@michd43: Thank you too for the cpr and the answer. Will contact you, too.
Thank you for your help with the answers!
I would need another resolutions-cpr's - and somebody,who uses BronzeListView (Active Panel is not centered in this style -so you'd see, that you use this) and could make Beta-Tester.

Thank you - very helpful - now I attain a pretty good priority, which I will do next and focusing on them.
And for each Resolution now a Beta-Tester - thank you!
I still hope for another .cpr's of other skins - to know them for later use - and also some opinions (by simply answering the questions) what would be useful personally for you.
But I come along good with developing - thanx
Micha

Thank you - I think now I have the necessary input - and especially enough Beta-Testers for default skin.
But nevertheless - all further answers on the queries from #1 are welcome.
Little Roadmap and status:
Like johncmolyneux said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes - and that's a lot of work The Plugin is already more complicated than the most other Titanium Plugins - and that's only for the Basics. But I will take my time (at the moment very much work at office) - to make it to a good first basic Beta for all Beta-Testers above this Post.
And: It won't brick your phone Secure things will be made in C++ - the others will be transparent by MortScript - but I will make very much with your Titanium-System - but without overwriting some of the original system files... so it will be secure. But it's hard to do that in some cases - so I need a little more time.
What will come at first for Beta Testers:
- only English language
- default skin (... ok... I will change a... little bit But don't be afraid - no effect on original system)
- but all Resolutions (I'm sorry if Beta1 wouldn't work properly - this is the point, I can't test before - but therefore I will need the Beta1, too)
- Button-Support for easy handling (will be the first trial which don't run only on VGA)
- Preview & Full-Read-Mode
-... some more...
And when this runs stable, then I will think about, how I will go with more Beta Tests or a Beta Release for all.
Then would come (perhaps) - with the time:
- Multilanguage support
- special characters (greek )
- picture support
- offline support
- JMLToday-Interaction
- direct search function 4 adding feeds
- OPML-Import
- switchable Skins
- autoupdate (which should be set seperate for each Feed, to save bandwidth and can be perfect adapted to your needs)
- Support for some other Skins than Default Titanium (already prepared)
- podCast Support
- ...much more - because of your answers and some more ideas.
But at first - I only like Betas, which are running stable - also in Beta-Tests for only some people - so I need a little more time to send it to you - some things at office made me very busy last time (and JMLToday together with JMHL is still another important project, where you can expect very nice things, too).
Thanx for the Beta-Testing in advance and the feedback to get this roadmap.
I will write all Beta-Testers if I have a first stable Version to test - I have ~70% for it at the moment.

Thanks a lot,this is a great idea.Will make titanium perfect

Thanx for the further feedbacks!
I thought about sending TitaniumRSS to all Beta-Testers to check the Preview-Features... but I'm very near to the Preview+Full-Basic-Features- and so I will implement the rest of the basics and then I will send it to you afterwards.
I've have coded some new things for TitaniumRSS.. and then I mentioned, that I made also something quite similar than ATPlugIn-Installer and On-the-fly-Skin-Changer in one Program (and full-automatic). That could replace the unflexible way, how TitaniumPlugins&Styles/Themes/Skins have to be installed at the moment. The C++-Programm needs only ~2 seconds to analyse the Titanium,injecting new Panels and activating Panels for special Themes. And that without affecting the running Titanium system... but that would be a new project - and I'm short of time because of developing TitaniumRSS, JMLToday/Library, checking Panex and some other things - and so it would be too much for me in the moment.
But to use it in TitaniumRSS will be a nice feature for all the users
I will still (but for later versions) need some Beta-Testers for other Themes than standard. Only to know, which Themes can be "injected" by TitaniumRSS - and that it looks nice - or which adaptions are needed.
Usually a Titanium-Theme (better said: the author of a theme) has to do work to overtake a new Plugin into its (his) Style. This won't be necassary for TitaniumRSS - TitaniumRSS will overtake the theme (without changing its origins)
The RSS-Reeding runs already fine in TitaniumRSS - some friends of mine saw it already on my device - because of its animations you see it quite easy (but they won't get it at the moment )
Stay tuned - and the more answers I get to the questions, the better I can plan the Roadmap further on (Beta-Testers but only for other Titanium-Themes than Standard further more)
