I've downloaded Twidroid - haven't tried Peep yet though (!)
What do people recommend...?
Twidroid is for me, without a dubt, better then Peep. More functions and better layout. Having some problems with the notifications and once in a while I have to try twice for it to show a profil page. No deal breaker though
I think The best apps are twidroid , peep and twitterride .
I am not able to post pictures taken with twidroid.. I use add, take photo, then I take photo, done, and it gives me "image can not be decoded"..
Anyone else with this problem?

I also got the same problem and it almost make me go back to my iPhone.
I´m using that function all the time. It works if you select a picture allready taken.
Peep works but it compress the picture so much that it look like crap. And yes I have changed the quality to the best.
Since my Hero runs smooth as butter (thanks to MoDaCo Custom ROM 2.2) I've started using Peep again, which now supports posting in landscape and displays clients the tweets were sent from (which I think is new in this version of ROM). Before that I switched do Twidroid, but never got to like it...
Is it possible to tweak the quality/size of the pictures posted with PEEP?
More than choosing "high quality" in settings.
I think I'd be quite happy with Peep, if it was possible to choose to follow a user using it? But I can't see that option available, unless anyone can help?
Thanks,
James

When you click on someone's profile picture, you get the option to follow/unfollow. Or use the official Twitter text commands - http://help.twitter.com/forums/59008/entries/14020
Has anyone had any success using the Tweeps Around layer in the Layar AR application to find the location of their own tweets?
I've used HTC Peep and Twidroid to post tweets with my GPS location, and then tried to find them on the Tweeps Around layer and though I can see loads of other peoples', my own do not appear....

It was actually that I couldn't find how to "find" someone, if I wanted to follow them. I've found it now though - you use the hard search key to do a search

This is a senseless rom. Works great.
You can grab it from here:
http://inc.sodpit.com/roms/ozzeh/
Just installed this rom. It seems to work pretty smooth but when I went into accounts to add gmail it doesnt list it as an option. A big part of the phone experience is having this integration but it looks like it has been taken out. If I am missing something please let me know.
Thanks for the effort!
http://roms.sodpit.com/2010/06/22/unrevolved-zip-by-ozzeh/ you need to install google apps
You can also add your gmail account to the native Mail App but, that takes away from the senseless feel though.
Nice job ozzeh, feels very fast. Very clean.
Btw setcpu doesn't work, does it? (Only questioned your screenshot)
My main question would be, do you see better battery life with the Sense-less UI? I don't really have a problem with Sense in general, other than it seems to run a lot of cr*p in the background, my assumption is this adds to the terrible battery life of the Incredible (compared to the Moto Droid, even when overclocked). Just curious on your experiences with battery life with this rom, might make it worth it.

I just installed it this morning around 6am so far the battery life is alot better but, I'm use to having over fifty apps installed. Give it a day or two, for some real results.
Can't download
When I click the link to download, it just redirects me back to the same page. When I click the apps link, get a cannot be found error.
Anybody else experiencing this??

Silly Questions
But, I am really curious how the facebook / contact integration is without the htc sense facebook integration? Is it the same I like that all my facebook contacts link to my google contacts, but does this option go away with sense?
Also sharing photos from the gallery with HTC facebook, seems like it would go away too, and while I haven't used the regular facebook for some time, I remember it not being as easy and as convenient as the other (i.e. couldn't add the photo and create a new album at the same time, etc)
anyone care to share their experience with these 2 things?
can't get this to flash. MD5 sum is correct and everything seems fine but it hangs at the white incredible boot screen forever! Tried everything but it never works, Oh well.
Try redownloading it through your PC browser or phone browser...it works fine for everyone else so there is no reason it shouldn't work for you...other than an error on your end.
ozzeh, my nandroid backups got screwed up. Your unrevolved rom is my default rom for now, hope it'll support me
Is it possible to backup text messages? It'd be nice to have them persist after the flash

yes! SMS backup and restore in the market or Titanium Back up. SMS backup and restore does not need root but ii recommend it 100%!
For some reason Gmail and Google Talk have the 'unknown' android icon, and they both force close when trying to launch... what did I do wrong? Market works fine. I tried applying apps.zip downloaded (twice) from my laptop and once from inside the phone browser to no avail.

for me the facebook integration is still essentially the same. and i say that because you can still link all ur facebook contacts to google. also sharing is still the same, as the facebook app for android is the same for sense as well. Now, the caveat to this is I came from my sprint Hero phone with no sense and that is how it worked. Also, I have not personally used this ROM yet.

Considering I am having the same problem, do tell, what error on our end would it be? I mean, yeah, the phone was wiped. The MD5s match. So whats the issue?
Its easy to say user error, its quite another to actually help someone out and explain the problem. If you don't know, then don't say it.
I've compiled my own roms for the Moto Droid, and have never had issues flashing them. I think I am qualified enough to flash a copy and paste job.
Is this what you have to do to apply the rom?
1 Download the build.
2 Rename it to "update.zip".
3 Copy it to the root of your phone's SD card.
4 Turn your phone off.
5 Start up in recovery mode by holding Home and pressing Power.
6 Press ALT+W to wipe your device. (You need to do this, or the device may hang at the flashing Android screen)
7 Press ALT+S to apply the update.
One other thing, if this is truly a sense free ROM, I wonder if JIT will play nice with it. I know JIT hated Sense, perhaps someone with the ROM installed wants to give it a try? I'll try it out later if I have time to install the rom.
Anybody have the apk for fancy widget?
Yes, I do. I'm not at home right now, and I'm not sure when I will be home. I'm on a short vacation and the apk file is on my desktop computer at home. I found it on the internet if you want to look for it, or you can wait until I get back home (which will be Monday morning--I think).
I tried searching for it on google, but I think all of sites were forced to take it down due to HTC's C&D.
I love the look of Fancy Widget, but I'm constantly having a problem with the time not updating. The task is not being killed since it's on my task killer's ignore list. It seems to happen at random times...sometimes while the phone is in standby, other times while in use. Is there a solution for this?

It's funny you say that because BW has always worked perfectly for me, and for that reason I switched back to it. That's fine with me because I just saw a skin I really like, and I e-mailed the dev to see if he could modify it slightly. He cooperated and now BW looks very very close to the Sense look (other than the weather icon being on the right rather than centered).
This is the best HTC Sense-like clock. It looks even better than Weather Widget with h7c skin, but has this strange update issue, when I have to wait sometimes for clock to update.
BTW It shows us how Market is NOT open and without control . It's better than AppStore and we can always use *.apk, but it's sad that if some app isn't good for hTC for example, they simply delete it.
It wasn't deleted, HTC asked the developer to take it down I beleive. It was taken down by their choice from what I read, and probably a good idea. It was so similar to the HTC one, I'm sure they have rights on it

The Market never claimed to be open or without control, its just a heck of a lot less demanding/strict than the app store... The underlying code for Android is open but anything that manufacturers or devs add to the code itself (IE: Sense UI, Motoblur etc...) along with the apps on the market, are proprietary and therefore NOT open (unless otherwise stated).

Should say in manifest (request privileges) if it can make phone calls -- which this app only asks for GPS & Internet access.

Just get info about system update to version 2.30.405.1

Yes you will lose root if you take the OTA. The biggest change that was made between 2.12.405.7 and 2.30.405.1 is that they have fixed all of the temp root exploits. So not only will you lose root, but you will not be able to re-root until a new root exploit is found.
Thank you for quick response.

It's already been done. If you're looking for a ROM in future, the Android Development section of the forum is your friend.

Scrub that, Picasa add in stops working. As useless as it ever was.
Pretty fed up with HTC, they are nowhere near the Company they used to be. Flaky software, useless support, the farce of HTCSENSE.
Horrible.
After reading a few threads about this update, all I ever see is people querying and *****ing about losing their S-OFF. Is there an actual change list available so I see what exactly has been done?

I haven't seen anything. Have you checked the HTC Support site? That is where such information would originate from if it is available.

text prediction(suggestion) in portrait mode not working
Hi guys, I have successfully updated to this version.
However the most frustrated thing is when I am typing text in portrait mode, no matter what app (web browser, calendar, message, map, or 3rd party app, etc) I am typing in, the word prediction (suggestion) does not work anymore (or it does, but I could not see all the possible suggestions as I used to if I misspell something, then it just automatically picked one suggestion to replace my word)!! Only when I change to landscape mode they start to appear.
This never happened before this update, and also, before, when I typed on the text box, the keyboard would appear as well as the cursor positioning where my text will display. So I could still see part of the original screen of the app. But now, the text box basically expands a lot so I could not see anything else on my screen apart from the white, ugly, big text box which takes more than half of my screen and the keyboard, nothing else!!
I am wondering if anyone else who updated to this version has the same issue. This is bad, bad, and bad!!
Cheers!!

Ok, I just rebooted the phone twice and everything goes back to normal. I am sure I had rebooted the phone more than once before, but they did not work until just 5 mins ago...

I was really hoping Pocket would work but it doesn't so I tried all the suggestions and other services. The last one I tried worked the best. I installed Instapaper and am using Instafetch for the Nook. It works great. All the other clients made me scroll through the articles which was super annoying because it was hard to see the place where I left off. Instafetch was the only one which can turn pages like a regular e-reader. And the Nook buttons were correct. The others may have this ability but I did not figure it out.
Love being able to load articles on the Nook. Longreads.com is a nice place to find stuff.
Just to add, I've installed Readit and I love it, but for whatever reason I can't delete articles which I find is quite a bummer. I use my iPod touch which is always near me to delete my articles. I think it's okay. However, if anyone knows how to delete some articles, if you could share the tip to me, would be nice. Otherwise, this app is amazing!

Search for an older version of Read It Later (anything before the pocket launch), and install the .apk file manually; It will run fine on the nook.

Loving the Zoe feature in general and it's definitely the One's stand out feature IMHO. However, I think I'm finding a few bugs. I was trying to select the images for the highlight video and, obviously, because Zoe is kinda random I find that I'm often going back and re-selecting different clips.
However, yesterday and today I found that despite not selecting a clip, that clip still showed in the highlight video. The only way I could stop it from happening was to delete it from that particular event folder. This was really frustrating for me. Anyone else have this issue?
Also, with the albums, there doesn't seem to be an easy way of moving images from one folder to another...I don't think it's even possible. Any one got an idiots guide to doing this?
Yup, same issue here with Zoe. It is such a great feature but selecting which items are included doesnt work at all?! :-/
This is fixed in 1.29 base.

You need to have at least 13 clips, so it will select all if you have less than this. That's why when you start selecting it says 0/13.

Try it with over 13 clips. You will notice that although some arent selected, they are still often included.
I find this quite a pain as I may go to the beach with my dogs and take a load of photos of them, then I'll go out that same evening and watch some live music at a bar and take some more photos. So natually, a zoe video with those mixed together wouldnt make any sense, so I would go in and just select items for the dogs on the beach or just the music at the bar but the other items still apear.
Pehaps you have the later "1.29 base." MacHackz made reference to?
