[Q] Yahoo news - my own source - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, any way how I can select my own URL (RSS feed?) from where LockScreen displays news? My region is not included into the application... :-(
Thanks

I'll second that. But more because Yahoo News is a bit pants TBH. Would prefer something more like BBC News, in both Lockscreen and LWP.

I'm all over this one. I can't stand Yahoo news. Much rather throw in fox news, cnn and of course XDA for tech, lol.
Edit
I just decompiled the yahoo news apk which is most likely where it gets its feed.
This one will be a tough edit. There's no xml or any type of rss feed to change. Just some possible connections we might be able to modify in Android manifest.xml

Any progress?

Here you go, i have the full version now registered and its great
New version with accuweather server too.
Last update:
2010-26-02 Version 1.0.0.5224b
Now, application online update is possible.
The weather update can do an app update too. If new app version exists, it is updated.
Install the latest version from the site. Future updates are now easier, as they can be online.
Be careful with operator traffic. Use Wi-Fi.
Problem
I download and pay for it with my phone number and now I have registered pro version v1.0.0.5214b. But i can't update weather with wifi, only gprs update works!
Please help.
P.S. I have Topaz with legal WM6.5 rom and everything else works perfect with wifi, except this one.

YOU! I love you. I just had to figure this out as well, didn't know there was an app for this.
More details
Can you share any more details with this. I downloaded a market enabler app but couldn't seem to get anywhere. Which one did you use and which country did you run as? I am curious I just want to get my samsung act setup.
Thanks.

Same problem with me in the start... Though I solved it by changing the country to UK in gmail account...
Find out what country ROM you have, and then download and activate Market-enabler of the same same Country your ROM is. You should be fine after that!

[Q] Does MIUI Weather widget support city other than USA?

I just flash Jokersax kitchen sink project ROM and i must say that i love the MIUI Weather widget. But I found that the city option database in the widget only for USA. I'm international user living in Asia. Would like to know whether this will support for my living place or not. Thanks.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
It currently supports only US n UK.
I guess u have to integrate the Asian .db file in the app somehow to get it working.
I've been researching about it myself as I'm an asian too. I just love that app.
Hope I've helped.
Any update, I'll let u know.

Editing root images help!

Hi all!
I'm just wondering if I were to root my S7 Edge would I then be able to go into system files and edit the standard emojis? If yes, would I then be able to use them online on Facebook and Instagram etc and would other people see them as the customised version?
Kind regards
Steve

I didn't actually understand what u said.
But emojis depends on keyboard mostly.
If u install google keyboard latest or emoji add-ons for them,u will have lots of emojis installed.

China vs international vs UK Rom.

There seem to be a few variant of the ROM depending on the region. Major difference base on what everyone is saying there is that the Chinese rom is horrible and the global/UK rom is better.
Well I have a OPX China version coming this week. It was a decent deal that why i went for it instead of the other version. So how screwed am I?
Is the China version really crippled? Is there a way to at least make it similar to the global rom? I know google play need to be installed and some app needs colorOS apps need to be removed.
How about notification and ram management? And major difference compare to the global ROM? Thanks for any feed back.
People complained about not being able to add a custom launcher. But you could always use adb to remove the coloros launcher to force the device to use the custom launcher. Also, all global variants are exactly the same, there really is no distinction between them.
My GF is using chinese edition and I am using AU edition, and both of us are in US, so I think I am able to tell you something.
Chinese edition is really for China(I am a Chinese so I know it). It will be perfect in China, but a disaster anywhere else in the world. You can always install google play in the original store and also uninstall some stock software and replace the launcher with adb. But three things are hard to change:
1. The background task is limited to 5.
2. Only the white listed app can auto start, other than the app in the list, only 5 are allowed.
3. G assistant can't work well, and G feed for Nova launcher as well. You will never be able to use ok google or hey google.
And for global version. The background management is worse than what I did with Brevent. And there is no great animation when you do super vooc charge. Other things are perfect.
Oppo is working on allowing bl unlock and Wuxianlin bet her own weibo account for it, so you will be able to flash global version soon.
Thank you for the great input!
I guess the China version is really crippled
Can you change the texting app to 3rd party and/mms like textra?
Whats the point of the 8gig of ram if they won't utilize it.

I keep thinking that if someone can find the variant identifiers in the roms we can make the phone think the international or eu rom is the Chinese one and spoof it into allowing it to install.

Thanks for that very useful. If I may ask couple of questions.
Can you please confirm global version doesn’t restrict notifications? You receive notifications as any other Android phone.
Can you get notifications on lock screen?
Default launcher is easy to change

That’s a relief as the whole reason me for getting rid of the Chinese version and buying the global version was due to the terrible restrictions .
