I am considering allowing an applet to create the rss program using downloaded feeds, but i’m not sure if it will work. This would be several months down the road.

Also, I found a bug where updating the feed removes the username/password. I am trying to fix it for 1.11.5 dev 15. This release is taking longer than expected due to other changes.

The smartphone version can export feeds if JSR-75 is supported on the phone/carrier. There are signed versions at a special URL because to download a signed version, you must install the JAD file, not the jar file. The signed jad and jar files must be direct links or it will not install. The files are signed by the Yinlight, LLC which must be listed as the vendor for the signing to work as the signing certificates were purchased by Yinlight, LLC. The signed versions are at http://mobile-rss-reader.yinlight.net/downloads/Version%201.11.5%20DEV14%20Source%20and%20Binaries/. It is best to first use Verisign signed JAD, then Thawte (unless you already know which certificates that you have). The Godaddy signed file is to be used for the MicroEmulator applet only as that code certificate is valid only on Mac/PC/Linux. The Godaddy code signing is not the same as the Godaddy SSL certificate which is present on the phone. The phone will only access Godaddy SSL sites, not Godaddy signed code. The RIM signed code may only be installable by taking the rim..zip file, unziping it on your PC/Mac and installing from the PC/Mac. This is untested as this is a development version. Some locked phones e.g. AT&T Pantek P7000 will not install JAD files. Thus, these cannot install signed files as installing a signed jar is treated as untrusted. I am investigating putting the programs in the AT&T market to rectify this problem. This may be too costly to implement.

I have been able to export using a signed program on my Nokia N86. I will have to see if it can work for more than one feed and if it really requires a signed program. The Nokia N86 could allow a per session prompt for writing to the file system. Regards, Irving (Current contributor) Hi Prv,

I've thought about having a text box where you can copy/paste the output OPML and use your own editor to save (the text would already be formatted so that no modification would be needed). There is save without exit which saves the current data while allowing you to continue to use the program without having to exit and come back in again. Also, these crashes that you talk about. Is the rss reader app crashing, your phone crashing? Regards, Irving (Current contributor) Hi prv,

It really helps to have a good analysis of the problem by the users like you. I'm working on 1.11.4 which has a fix for errors during import of OPML which hangs. I'll try to put out a dev or beta release and then look at your problem when adding individual feeds. I've been doing the updates for the last 2+ years as Tommi has been developing other apps. I am an official contributor. Irving Hi tweaksource,

If I try to add a feed with an invalid url I get an error, obviously. When I then try to save or exit the appliciation it hangs. If I shut it down, it then has no data. Also, shutting the app down while it is saving or updating causes it to no longer save data. Reinstalling the app is the only way I have found to get it to work again. Importing feeds from a good list seems to work well, but if I try to manually add a feed and have a typo it dumps everything. It's working very well for me now. Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your work. I am also a programming student and Java is one of the languages I'm learning. I do have an issue though. I can import and open and read and save. Everything works fine. However, when I close the app and reopen it there is no data. Is this because the S60V3 won't let the java app write to the file system? Any clues? Tommi,
