[APP] Flipboard for Android

aarmath · May 14, 2012

Ok the details of my mobile are thus:

HTC HD2
Android ICS ver. 4.0.4 Mod Ver. aokp_hd2_build_33
Kernel version - 2.6.32.15_tytung_ics_r1
Side-loaded from SD Card (Nand memory has WPH Mango)

There are no additional pages apart from the standard limit of 4 that we havce seen in the earlier app. But a plethora of signing into other accounts like Instagram, Flickr, Tumblr et al is included. Oh yes, random freezes still occur & I am forced to close it. I guess this is a limitation of my single core Snapdragon-based 1 ghz processor.

Also the fact the whole Android ICS is running from the SD Card.

More than likely due to it being on sd card or some tweak you've done...I'm running the previous version of your rom in nand on hd2 without any hiccups.

If installation is an issue try first clearing the cache from the present version you are using, next clear data to remove any additional traces and finally select uninstall.
Once you have removed all trace of the older version select to install the newer version.
Once installed load up the app and sign back in. Any previous configurations would have been saved Online.
Job done....

Is there a way to prevent the screen from turning off, while reading through the flipboard items?

Or is setting a longer time in the 'display' settings before the screen is turned off, the only way?

Thanks in advance.

I installed the apk & flipboard works but I don't have the widget, not UN my app drawer or in the long press on homescreen menu?

Do I need or update the apk or summat?

Edit: app installed to sd so I moved it back to system & now have the widget

Thank you Beards & Famewolf on your comments.

I agree, this makes sense, I should have cleared out the data cache et al.
I installed the updated version 1.8.4 on the same HTC HD2 in the Gingerbread partition from the SD-Card. This version is of AmeriCan Android (The last recent update)
I had ofcourse uninstalled the earlier version. Now strangely the updated version runs ultra-silk but images do not update at once on the tabs. For example on the Cover Stories tab, instead of seeing an image, its a dull grey. Only after clicking the tab & then browsing a couple of pages within, images slowly start updating on the tab.
I guess this is where clearing on the data cache comes into play. All in all, it is butter smooth on Gingerbread (AmeriCan Android version).

I like it a lot. Too bad it doesn't automatically mark google reader items as read when scrolling. At least they should add an option for that.

this is not related to the Android app’s even in my ipad time to time i have this , i guess is when the pics are not yet fully downloaded in the Flipboard server , all you read in your flip board (even Facebook) go thru the Flipboard server ...

Install "Screebl Beta" which will keep screen on while phone is held in upright position...note..the beta is a complete rewrite of the previous version which had battery life issues. When you lay the phone down screebl resets to a 15 second timeout.

No - why would I want to?

Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist.. (via XDA app)

For one, it'd back up all your settings & boards, also twitter, FB, Pocket accounts so that if u decide to uninstall-reinstall all that is restored instantly when u sign in using the Flipboard account.

On an unrelated note i'm really liking the Pocket integration where i can mark long news articles to 'read later'

As it will automatically sync your accounts to whatever other phones/tabs you have using that account.

Works well...

Flipboard includes social media sources such as Facebook, twitter etc....pulse does not.

Did you create a flipboard account?

Pulse let's you add social media too.

The difference between the two is interface and how content is delivered...for example pulse kind of shows you everything at once

Still working well on vibrant ics

The FB/Twitter auth permissions request states that Flipboard can follow people and post as you at any time, why do apps request such permissions when all I want to do is share a link with FB/Twitter followers?

It does. Option in Settings, then click on Google Reader. Check the box to mark read on flip.
