With the newest NewsFeed Launcher version 20.0.0, third party icon packs now can request to be the selected icon pack.

This can be possible via a similar method as in another launchers.

Example code:

class ExampleActivity extends Activity {

    ...

    private void onApplyIconPackClick() {
        String selfPackageName = getPackageName();

        Intent request = Intent("hu.oandras.newsfeedlauncher.APPLY_ICON_PACK");
        request.setPackage("hu.oandras.newsfeedlauncher");

        ComponentName component = new ComponentName(
            "hu.oandras.newsfeedlauncher",
            "hu.oandras.newsfeedlauncher.customization.ApplyIconPackActivity"
        );
        request.setComponent(component);

        request.putExtra("package", selfPackageName);

        startActivityForResult(request, REQ_CODE);
    }

    ...

}

The app uses the OpenWeather OneCall API to query the weather forecast data. To view weather forecasts in the app, follow the following steps:

An OPML file can contain multiple RSS feed urls in xml format, these files can make super easy to move your RSS subscriptions between your RSS applications.

NewsFeed Launcher also supports the OPML file format, so these files can be easily imported.

This article describes, how you can search a RSS URL of a website, what you can use in the NewsFeed Launcher or other RSS reader application.

Most of the time you need to search a page in your web browser (Chrome, Firefox etc.), where you can see similar structure as the following exaples:

Nor the Windows, nor the Mac OS firmware updater contains device product IDs for every variant. Such as the “DTLPG3_Mac_Updater.zip” and the “DTLPG3 Updater with El Capitan Fix.zip”.
For me the device productID is same as the DTVP (DataTraveler Vault) drive’s productID.

The trick is to make the firmware updater (Mac OS variant) to work:

• Find your DTLocker+G3’s productID in the System Information app, under USB.
• Change the ‘productID’ in the following file, to your drive’s one:
  DTLPG3_Mac_Updater.app/Contents/Resources/devicePersonalities.plist
  Ex: My drive’s product is 0x160D, so I changed the ID from 0x169D to 0x160D.
• Run the firmware updater app

After this modification, the updater can find and reflash the drive.

The latest updater can be downloaded from the Kingston’s website here: https://www.kingston.com/us/support/technical/products/dtlpg3
With this update the drive can be used with the latest MacOS Catalina.
