Official Twitter App in Market - G1 Apps and Games

Hi
Can't se this mentioned yet but just to let you know the official Twitter app is in the Market and its awesome especially on CM5.07 Twitter contact sync

Nice >Was< using twidroid, this is much nicer imo. Thanx for the post about it.

Twidroid still better. No browser, no refresh on start up. Animations are for kids.

also is only supported for 2.1 roms.

I really like it. I had been using Touiteur since it came out, but the official app is better overall and much faster at refreshing tweets.

Same here. It's also the first version so it can only get better.

Uh? No retweets with comments possible. It doesn't save the position, you always must scroll down to read the first unread tweet.
Not so very good.

What's it called anyways? As I don't see it in the Market.

I searched for 'twitter' and it came up in the results.
For a first version it is very good but as some have pointed out it's missing features that are very useful, if not almost required. Integrated browser for links, image loading without a browser or via the browser, viewing of profile images and the most important from my perspective - remembering your last position in the list.
It's very fast and the integration with 2.1 is nice, using the same mini-bar option if you push the arrow to the right of someone's tweet. However, until it has the ability to remember your list position and some form of integrated browser I'll be staying with Touiteur Premium.

Does anyone know how to clear old tweets from the timeline? I've been using the app for a few days now, and every tweet I've received during that time is still there, which creates a little sluggishness. It'd be nice to be able to clear the list every once in a while.

Can't seem to find my lists... Yes i can delete and manage them, but i can't see them. What the hell? I think ill just go back to Seesmic... Simple, fast and reliable

Is anyone else having a problem with only a small fraction of your tweets being updated in your timeline? This is what happens for me: lets say I haven't used the app all night, and in the morning when I know I have 100+ new tweets to read, when I hit refresh only ~20 tweets are updated. Then when I scroll down past those 20 latest tweets, there is a huge gap after the 20th tweet. After the 20th tweet, there is a huge jump back to the last time I hit refresh (usually 8+ hours earlier). This only happens on 1.01...it did not happen on 1.00. Anyone else?

Best Twitter app?

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

Asurion address book out!

Write Asurion in Market and download the address book and the mix ins you want to get installed...
Amazing app, let's see how it develops...
im gonna bumb this cause this app is pretty cool. It connects all your contacts with facebook and twitter or w/e social network u use. It takes a couple min to setup and sync all your contacts though. I liked the notifications that it gave you for each contact. I did find it a little slow and the interface isnt really apealing. All in all, its pretty good just needs work on the interface and on the speed as well...
Havin some difficulty figuring out how to set up different notifications.
Pictures for contacts dont update with the FB page.
Ugly UI.
But to be honest the FB portion is better than the FB app. Its worth it for that alone. Alot of functionality seemingly. Absolutely needs to be streamlined.
still too laggy for daily use. it froze my phone for a good 4 minutes.
I messed with it a little. Seemed to be really slow on my G1 with CM 4.1.999.
My personal faveorite contacts app is still StarContact - I just wish they'd update it... I'd at least like to see contact photos. I hate it when good apps go abandoned.
As it stands it certainly isnt an Addybook replacement by any means.
I do hope they stick with it.
This is easily replacing my phonebook. I love it! I don't know what these other people are talking about with lag, but on cyan 4.2.2 it is phenomenal! I am blown away by it and am so glad something similar to voxmobiles upcoming effort has come out.
i'd love to try it out, unfortunately it seems it's not yet available here in germany - at least not for me
if someone could pass it on to it'd be much appreciated
cheers
anyone have a direct link? I can't find it in the market. Thanks!
Yeah I cant find it either.
I read in one of the market comments that it doesn't sync with Google, is that true?
cant find this in the market i found the you tube and speed dialer but no address book. anyone have a link?
Those of you who can't find it, where do you live. My buddy from Canada couldn't find it either. Might be a regional issue but I'm not sure.

Also have T-Mobile USA and found it. Search for Asurion.
It's a great app, but I found it has issues with the MixIn settings. It still gives notifications even though I disable them. It appears other people have issues with the settings as well that want to change update intervals so they don't use so much data. Keep in mind this is still in beta. Can't wait for an update.
can't find it. I have t-mobile USA. searched asurion and only the speed dialer and you tube mix in shows up. I'm running xrom if that helps. even if i try getting the link straight form the website, it doesn't show up. weird.

Fancy widget?

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).
no weather info is displayed on v1.2.4
How do you check if there is no virus or malware (calling international numbers i.e.) in any of these files? Is there any other way to check this, besides blind trust?

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

Been digging online and through the forums with no luck...can somone post up the old version of Fancy Widget??
Nevermind...guess they don't allow it on here. If anyone can PM me it, that'd be awesome...

Droid Reader Tablet Edition

Hey I just released a branched version of Droid Reader specifically for Honeycomb tablets. It's still in the development phase, but I thought I'd go ahead and throw what I have out on the market so people can get to it. Let me know if you have any problems or suggestions.
You will need to relaunch the application after you authenticate the first time (or hit back on the authentication browser window).
I'm hoping to eventually merge this back in with the actual Droid Reader project, but I have to get ahold of the project owners first. If they end up releasing a tablet edition I'll probably just pull this app.

I really like this reader alot. Might be my new favorite.
Only thing is it gets really laggy.

Trying it out right now, so far it looks good, does it have G Reader support or is it like Pulse where you add the RSS feeds to your local storage? I will find out for myself.

Hate to double post, but I have some things to say about it:
When you read an article it doesn't mark it as read
Going back to list of feeds is little misleading, I would assume pressing back would go back, but you have to press that button? Weird
Widget, I know this is in beta, just a suggestion
So far it's surprisingly smooth and stable, had one crash but that's cause I had Tapatalk and Sumarai 2 open in the background. At least I think that's why. Keep up the great work, and I love this so much it got rid of Google Reader( Google didn't even make a Google Reader app for Honeycomb? What the hell?)
Thanks!
Edit:
Embed video crashes the app, just wanted to add that

Not sure I'm clear on which behavior you'd expect. So you'd rather have it go back to the channel list instead of backwards in articles?

When you are on the list of RSS feeds you select one and then it takes you to that feed, I would assume to go back to the list all you would have to do is tap the back button, but that does nothing just flip through the articles you have seen, I thought that the back button would take you back to the RS feed list view.
Edit: would like to see a change log on app store please?

offlline support
Hi, it works good now, but greatest addition will be to support offline cache. And not only RSS cache, but cache external link content. I want read news even when Im not connected and in RSS there are only few sentences, and I must open browser to read all and it is discomfort and with lack of internet connection (eg in train) impossible.
Thanks

Facebook app,,,

I am having problems with the android facebook app that it doesn't update in the correct time order.I get updates from 10 mins and 3 days and 6 hrs in that order.i have tried to uninstall and re install and the problem is still the same. Has anyone come across this strange behavoir in the facebook app?
I use this brilliant Miui Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010498
Thanks
It's because the new Facebook app defaults to Top News just as the site does (such a pain in the ass that I bet like 5% of people actually use) --- Just touch where it says Top News and drag the slider down the Most Recent, then either way for it to load or press back.
Thanks very much for the reply, works perfect now, its strange why face book decided thats thec way we should read news, surely ppl go on there to read the latest updates.
Thanks again
