I have Picsel Browser version 1.0.0 build 2319 running on my Tilt. I like it a lot.

it looks great . Very easy to pan, zoom and navigate around with touch screen. I am also using operamini.

I haven't found anywhere which has a good list of RSS Feeds which are good for us XDA type people.
Interested in both normal RSS Feeds and Podcasts (i.e.Video, Audio).
I would also like to know if there is a way to get the XdaTv videos using a podcast too (to me this would be the obvious way to distribute them).
To get things started, here are some of my favs (I may add any I particularly like here - with credit of course).
Details about the feed items, such as are they complete articles or shortened versions (i.e. you have to visit the site to read it all), how often are they updated, general description etc would also be useful.
Keys:
UPDATES: DAILY+, DAILY, WEEKLY+, WEEKLY, MONTHLY etc
ARTICLES: DETAILED, FULL, SHORT
PODCAST: VIDEO, AUDIO

==================== Social Casting ====================
Facebook
You have two options:
1) The RSSTab (WinMob) (see signiture) has a special ability to create Facebook feeds using the Facebook API of your News, Notifications and Friends walls, as well as ability to comment, post and like each entry directly from the RSSTab.
Here are basic details of the functionality:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14336549#post14336549
2) Facebook also provides some limited feeds directly:
Notifications:
Code:
http://www.facebook.com/notifications.php?id=[YOURUSERIDNUMBER]
Friends' Facebook Links
Code:
http://www.facebook.com/posted.php
Friends' Facebook Notes
Code:
http://www.facebook.com/notes.php?friends&id=[YOURUSERIDNUMBER]
Friends' Facebook Status Updates
Code:
http://www.facebook.com/friends.php?s&id=[YOURUSERIDNUMBER]
Obviously the data you get will depend on the account previously logged into facebook and the related person's privacy settings.
Twitter
You can add the following feeds to view your twitter's.
RSSTab Twitter Feed - http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=rsstab
Code:

lifehacker - Create RSS Feeds for Google+ Profiles
Basically a case of finding the profile ID and adding it to http://plusfeed.appspot.com/:

The quest continues...
The XdaTV podcast is up and running nicely. I aim to update it every week or so, so videos will probably appear in blocks of 3-5, depending on how up to date I am with my viewing. Simply can't recommend it enough, great things are a-happenin.
I've also added Lifehacker, a new podcast from the site of the same name, looks good so far, plenty of polish and shine, but interesting so far.
In addition to this, I will experiment at some point with a "feed of feeds"...the idea being that new podcasts and rss feeds will be put in a feed and the RSSTab will then detect the feed urls in the rss posts and give you the option to add it to your feeds. It could be an interesting way to share and enjoy new rss feeds and podcasts.
I've not seen it before, but I would be interested to know if it has been done or not.
In fact, the concept of the "feed of feeds" could be quite interesting as anyone could create a list of favorite feeds, which could then be added as a list too, so you get a "feed of feeds of feeds"...ok!
Now added the official XdaTv Podcast feed!

So, we're supposed to understand that last part?
Btw would it be possible to put the XDA podcasts on iTunes? That's my usual route when it comes to podcasts so it would be more convenient for me.

Most of that is out of date, since we now have a proper podcasts.
The last part, is some thoughts I was having for sharing podcasts around since I find it a hassle to find good feeds online and then transfer them to my phone, google reader etc etc, since mobile devices aren't too great at finding and checking out feeds.
I don't think there is any reason why we can't put the XdaPodcast on itunes, but it's only been released today (as I've just completed the app for updating it).
Once we are confident of the update process then it'll get posted, as it makes sense to be sure it works and we can keep it updated quickly.
PS: The feed is quite easy to add manually, as I tried to make the url as easy as possible!
http://feeds.feedburner.com/XdaTv
I've just updated the first post to include information of Social Casting RSS Feeds, using the instructions provided you should be able to easily be able to set up feeds for Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
Also if you are a Google Reader user, if you use the above feeds, then it seems like google will fetch the data using their own servers (which for me means my work web filtering does not block them!).

Best YouTube app out there. Period! Honestly, I've tried them all, but Lazytube offers all the features I expect from a decent YouTube app and offers the most comfortable and easy to use UI. Thumbs up.
Looks almost identical to the free htc youtube app... What does lazytube bring for my money?

Good question.
Features LazyTube has that HTC does not:
- Streaming 720p HD videos
- Customizable navigation
- Customizable video feeds (lazylist)
- Tile icon that adapts to phones theme
- Powerful search filters
I think for the most part though, it's not really the features nor the 'functionality' of the app that truly distinguishes LazyTube from other apps but more the usability and overall experience associated with it.
The best thing I can recommend is for you to try it yourself (as suggested above) and see what you think.
If you do give it a go, please keep us posted how you get on as we'd love to hear your comments and feedback!
As many have found out, lots of suggestions quickly make it into our updates
About the chameleon tile: I prefered the LazyTube tile with the youtube colors rather than the theme color. Too many developers do that, it get boring having a whole main page made of the same color.
As for features, I just love the app.
Keep it up

We've had a lot of positive feedback from the introduction of the chameleon tile and I don't think we can open up an option to select the tile icon
Really glad you like the features!
Keep the suggestions coming guys.
why 720p? can we have 480p instead? the phone only has 800x480 resolution.... hope for an even smoother playback on HD with lower bandwith requirment. (I love this app!)
Best YouTube app available for WP7! Love this app, only one I even kept on my phone. Once I discovered this one, I deleted my Microsoft & HTC YouTube apps. Thanks for this!

Will look into it, seems like sound logic to me !
The addition of HD finally got me to switch from the Free version to LazyTube and pay for it...
I now have SuperTube and LazyTube working together, one for saving videos, the other for watching it, and enjoying the amazing UI...

Yep, that's what I like... Good work...
Any way to save searches? Say, the last 6 searches for lazy ppl like me?
Searches
Will the searches on lazytube ever include vevo videos? If i search for them in lazytube, nothing comes up. Also some of the videos in my favorites that are vevo are not in my favorites on lazytube.

Unfortunately this is to do with YouTube mobile video restrictions If the restrictions are loosened we will most definitely support it!

Pretty much the same way they're able to offer to download videos. There are certain ways to accomplish these things. But google does not allow that. So it's clearly against their rules. Supertube's developers just don't seem to care, which - besides the fact that lazytube offers an in my opinion way better UI - is one reason I would never support or buy their app.

It's not a technical issue but more a legal one
I can't comment with regards to other apps providing this service however to our understanding it's not something that we want to risk our reputation over.
Hi,
If i go on youtube.com with my Omnia 7, when i want to watch a video, it opens the crappy youtube app. Isn't it possible to automatically open the video with your great Lazyworm app ?
thanks.

Has the streaming quality been set to "Low Quality" in settings by any chance?
Nope it is on HQ.
Do you mean that Lazytube usually take over the youtube app ?

Hi,
I send PM to you.
OK. Thread closed.
If you want to coopereate, please end me a message and I will add some additional posts
I am an Android phone user for 4 years now who is quite happy with my current phone the S3 LTE. No doubt Windows phones are on the rise and I am curious. So, I would like to ask these questions regarding the OS (and the latest updates attached to it as of March 2014) in particular high-end Lumia phones (like the 1020) that would help me decide.
1. Does the Lumia's Bluetooth allows me to send photos (or any files supported) via bluetooth to an Android phone?
2. Does Lumia have a quick toggle to settings to instantly turn on or off things such as wifi, Bluetooth, brightness, etc. (much like the notification drop down bar of Android)?
3. Does the Lumia have Dolby Mobile or Dolby capability in its music player? Is there a customisable equaliser to the new Lumias? Or Surround sound option?
AND Can one create a Playlist on-the-fly or via the device itself? And does the Lumia's music player have the ability to "find" or search for the Album art of a song/s online?
4. Does Lumia phones fully support full drag n dropping of files (.mp3, .flac, .mp4) from my Mac to the Lumia without the need of any 1st-party app?
5. What alternatives can you guys recommend for Google Translate, Google Drive and Google Keep (that new note-taking app)?
And why no Youtube app on the Marketplace? Or I could be wrong.
6. Is there a pinch to zoom feature in zooming objects for taking photos? Is there an option to edit then share them via Email, Bluetooth, Twitter, Instagram, Dropbox, etc.? A way to set photos as a phones's wallpaper? (For 8.0 atleast)
7. Any swiping capability in typing? (A feature found in Android phones where you slide your fingers on the keyboard for faster typing) are there any predictive text ability in WP8?
8. Any good alternatives music player, video player for the Lumia?
I'm looking for an app that supports hi-fidelity files such as Flac or video files such as .mkv?
9. Does the Lumia (or any WP8 phones) have the capability to print wirelessly to a wireless printer via an app or within device?
10. Can one send complaints or suggestions to an app developer via the Marketplace? (much like in Google's Play store)
11. How fast is the startup and shutter speed of the Lumia cameras? Is it as quick as an S3 or iphone? Is there a panorama mode? Can i easily or quickly see a photo (with a swipe to the left or right or thru a window toggle or something) that i have taken then easily & quickly edit them then send them via bluetooth or post them via Twitter, etc.,?
12. Is there a Battery-saving option in Lumia phones? (Like what most Android phones have nowadays)
13. Games are still a disappointment as i am writing this 7 out 10 of my games are NOT on the Marketplace. is MS doing anything about this?
For me its kinda crucial but I do admit I like a bit of casual games on my daily commute or when during a holiday.
Pls advice. Thanks.
1. Yes
2. Nope, not until 8.1
3. There's an equalizer, you can make playlists in various apps
4. I don't use a Mac, with windows it works fine
5. The bing versions / onedrive / one note or evernote, there are several YouTube apps, consider searching
6. Yes and yes, no wallpaper until 8.1, then there are wallpaper tiles (google is your friend)
7. No custom keyboards
8. Yes, quite a few available, search the store
9. I am not sure, I mail then print
10. Probably
11. Fast and easy
12. Yes
13. It is up to devs, not up to MS for the most part, google doesn't develop games either.

For #7, there is supposed to be a swipe ability in 8.1 and the keyboard does have some predictive text.

i prefer android at all mate :good:
@naenee did a good job answering. I'd like to add that most of the things you ask about are just WP8 things, not Nokia / Lumia things. This means you could get a different phone (I realllly like Samsung's Ativ S line, which puts WP8 on hardware very like heir Galaxy phones, but partially that's because we have mostly jailbroken them). The only thing I can think of that's really Lumia-specific is the built in camera app features being better... but any phone can download things like a panorama app if they want to. Also, note that while "wallpaper" (behind the tiles on the Start screen) is not currently settable, you can of course use your own images for the lock screen.
As for apps, bear in mind that a lot of apps may have clones or at least decent impersonators, even if there's no official version. Also, remember that WP has Xbox Live exclusive games; there's no lack of games for WP8 (some very good indeed) but you may need to find different ones that fill the same niches for you.
Which way?
Never used windows phone & wondering if i can get a good one that beats Android phones (Using Galaxy S4).

Using it on my laptop though. Hope its a better experience too on mobile?
Windows Phone 8 is not Windows 8, first of all. OK, with that said...
Not many WP8 devices yet have specs comparable to the SGS4. However, it turns out that this really doesn't matter; on the same hardware (for example, my ATIV S vs. a SGS3) WP8 performs better than Android in many ways, including smoothness of UI.
android is very very different : WP so much
Windows Phone 8 system is fluid and stable on all devices. It is also a close one so you do not have to mamy customization possibilities and so many different option's to achieve one goal ( no widgets for example). It's theirs way or no way but this do not bothers me. The only lack I find is underdeveloped localization API which doesn't allow application's to often checks localization so programs like glympse or locale alarm does not work reliable. This feature gona be incorporated in 8.1 update which should be rolling out this summer. Overall for me it is better system than android ( I know well jelly bean on s3 when 4.4 rolled out I was on Lumia 920 ). It is simple fast and reliable. One interesting thing I noticed is a text wrapping in browser which is much better on WP 8 as I never get any problems with reading newspapers online -On HTC One s or Lg G2 I had problems with reading the same page's.

I've owned 3 WP phones (Lumia 710, HTC 8x, and Lumia 521) and I prefer Android. I currently have a GS4 and Nexus 4 (previously had a GS1 and GS3). WP isn't bad, but it lacks so many little things compared to Android. I am constantly disappointed because a function or feature is not available on WP that's on Android. I recommend you pick up an budget WP phone and give it a try for a few weeks.
I, on the contrary, am having a blast on WP8.
I still am an Android power user, but I prefer the look and feel of M$.
I don't like it app-wise. I miss apps like Fing and Wi-Fi Analyzer. Devs blame it on the API.
You're just talking about two different things, it all depends on what you're searching from a device
