RSS Gators

RSS Reader is a mobile Java MIDlet application that runs on Java enabled mobile phones and devices.

User can store multiple RSS and ATOM feeds as bookmarks. Feeds can be imported from OPLM file.

The free RSS feed reader is a cell phone (mobile) J2ME MIDP application that is able to read most RSS servers/feed versions. RSS is a lightweight XML format designed for sharing headlines and other content like blogs and news. Data is stored on the device and updated on request. This uses the internet which service providers charge extra for, so you would best get an unlimited data from your service provider. This should work with most recent devices as they have MIDP 2.0 program beginning with midp20_RSSReader… If it does not work, use the MIDP 1.0 program beginning with midp10_RSSReader… for older versions. This is licensed under GPL. Source code authored by Tommi Laukkanen is at http://code.google.com/p/mobile-rss-reader/ For more documentation go to http://mobilerssreader.sourceforge.net/

Install/copy Mobile RSS Reader to phone instructions

To install/copy RSSReader to the phone, you will need some communication method between your computer and your phone to be working (e-mail, cable, bluetooth, or infrared), and copy the midp10_RSSReader.jar, midp20_RSSReader.jar, midp20_jsr75_RSSReader.jar file (that is in the zip file (this link) ) from the computer to the phone. If you have an old phone (that uses MIDP 1.0), copy midp10_RSSReader.jar. The detailed steps are different from one phone to other, so please read the manual of your phone and the help of your communication program.

Alternatively, you can use your phone browser to download RSSReader directly from this web.

Just enter this url for MIDP-2.0 (see below): http://mobile-rss-reader.googlecode.com/files/midp20_RSSReader-10.7.jar

Just enter this url for MIDP-2.0 and JSR-75 (see below): http://mobile-rss-reader.googlecode.com/files/midp20_jsr75_RSSReader-10.7.jar

If your phone is old, use this url: http://mobile-rss-reader.googlecode.com/files/midp10_RSSReader-10.7.jar

Reading from phone memory

Feeds and imports of feeds can be done from phone memory with phones with JSR-75. You can find this out by looking at technical specs for your phone, looking up your phone at this web site. http://www.mobref.com/device. Or you can run the program without JSR-75 (midp20_RSSReader…) going to settings and looking for phone jsr75 and if true, you can use jsr75 version (midp20_jsr75_RSSReader…). It is important to check before trying to run the JSR-75 version as if phone does not support JSR75 the JSR-75 program (midp20_jsr75_RSSReader… will not work or run) but not harm the phone.
