No Facebook Intergration to TD2 !! ???

All the cooked ROMS based on this device have it .. Why not the original device ?

I dont think 'officially' that the facebook app is out yet. the ones you may have previously used wil be pre-release versions

Oh the App works fine .
It was the intergrated facebook picture and status update in TF3D I was refering too.
Its not been implemented but was on the pre release version ... I'm a bit miffed why not as it was cool .

I think the question why certain software is or is not on the device is always a personal one. Maybe not enough people are using facebook to make it generally available on all devices. I, for instance, wouldn't be using it, though it would consume space on my device. Bottom line: maybe they just chose to not include it.
Can't you install it from a cab?

Sorry I will make myself clearer
I have the Facebook Cab and it installs and works fine on the TD2
In Touch Flo 3D you have a contacts application . On the pre production version and the ROMS made from it there was an option to hook your contacts up to facebook so you could download your friends picture and status and this was then added to your contacts in the Touch Flo 3D application.
Its not been implemented . I just hope it is as it was a great feature and work brilliantly

I'd love to see that feature too.

Sounds like the Palm Pre would be right up your street with its synergy.

lol thanks
If you look on the Touch HD ROM dev the touch 3d its on there as they are using the Pre release Topaz and Rodium ROM to customise the Touch HD . I sold the Touch HD to buy the TD2 as the Touch HD is way too big.
As for the Palm Pre , i would like to see windows Mobile finally update the calendar to support multiple Calendars as the Pre, Blackberry and Iphone does .

There's some work on this very topic going on here....

Sexy Widgets for the Hero

So after a couple of months using the Hero I wanted to share the Widgets I still use. My sense UI now has allot of app icons but I still find most of these Widget useful. Please add any suggestions and I will post them up on page. Lets create a resource to make the iphone peeps jealous
3RD PARTY WIDGETS:
BBC News (8/10) two widgets on my home page one for most popular and another for tech or sport
News Buzz (7/10) Still good but have stopped using it
Weather Bug (small) (5/10) Removed it
S2 CalenderWidget (9/10) for me by far the best calendar widget (two types to choose from)
Andriod and Me (small)(3/10) If nothing else to do a nice for android information
Twidriod Pro (8/10) simple but works well
Google scoreboard (9/10) I like this allot good for all sports updates
Facebook (don’t have an account I‘m a twitter man)
HTC WIDGETS:
HTC calendar (small) (8/10) Removed
HTC Settings GPS/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Mobile (8/10) Good functions I now only have gps as ModaCo's roms have a wifi off app already installed
HTC Weather/Clock (9/10) Still nice looking but have gone for 2X2 icon without clock
HTC bookmarks (8/10) still use them
HTC footprints (Large) (8/10) Was fun at first but now removed
HTC Album (4/10) Removed
HTC Picture frame( 4/10) still use it
Contacts (8/10) nice but don’t use

Other than the stock HTC widgets - small music player, messaging and the ones you listed, I also use Google's Scoreboard. If you're into sports, its pretty good.
Oh and I have the Facebook widget too.
Someone should write one for xda-devs, it could show you PMs and when people reply to your threads/posts.... Or maybe I'm just beginning to rely on the Hero just a little too much these days.

I agree Floridak xda dev should be more mobile friendly. It would be nice to get updates via a widget. It would also be nice yo have a mobile edition web page that you can post on.

+1
totaly agree with the XDA-widget!

yep xda mobile support would be great

what's different than getting to mob portal from web portal home page? (other than saving a click)

lets get back on topic. Any new Widgets out there?

try feedr. It's $0.99 but you can create an rss feed of xda forums and then place as many widgets on your desktops as you like..I like it a lot.

i use the normal xda website all the time from my hero, i find it great and if you zoom in the auto format setting kicks in to save you the hassle

Did anyone hear of widget that would show/hide my number when calling with one press on a home screen ? That would save a lot of effort

I found interesting the Volume Widget Pro.
It's pretty nice and really useful to change music and alarm volume level from the home screen. And it has lot's of options to configure the colors of the widget.

What I'm using.
Twidgit, nice little widget shows the latest tweet.
BBC news, small widget that shows the latest headline.
Did have 'android and me' but it wasn't much of interest on it.
Ditto engaget.

I posted about this issue a while back when i first got my Hero. I was told it was not possible then. I`m hoping someone can remedy this issue as i hate having to scroll through 30-40 apps to find what i`m looking for. Even WM 6.1 has this facility!

New widgets from HTC on the Market

HTC has dropped 4 widgets on the market. Have a look here: http://www.androlib.com/android.developer.htc-corporation-FtE.aspx
They look really nice.
Requires Sense UI!

HTC should release a home application that runs Sense UI. I think it's doable, and if they did they could charge like 20 bucks, and not really have to go from firmware to firmware extremes.

i am not really sure whether i like what i see that HTC is posting on the market. all the widgets they publish are only for HTC Magic and Droid Eris... meanwhile sending C&D's to developers who have been porting HTC widgets to other devices (like HTC Dream/G1)...
to me this looks like they want to push sales of their Magic & Droid Eris models, and make people switch from their old G1's...
don't like it

[Q] HTC Hub updates

My HD7 did a HTC Hub update this morning, it seemed like a pretty major download (took about 10 minutes) My firend had the same on his Mozart yesterday, anyone know what is in it?

Nothing... It seems to me, that the whole HTC HUB is the swan song of the HTC UI. The only very good thing is the HTC wheather and its pitty, that it is not the separate application with its own live tile. Its the best weather app. on mobile phones so far.

The HTC weather app is gorgeous, but the lack of weather info on the tile means I have removed the HTC hub from my start screen and replaced it with Weather Bug, which not only keeps the tile updated with the latest weather, it also sends me notifications of weather warnings, which is neat. Weatherbug may not be as pretty as HTC Weather but it's a lot more functional.

I did the same and removed HTC HUB from start screen. But for the weather info I am using Microsoft app. Its clean and fast - faster than weather bug, only the tile is not the live tile.

I was using weatherbug, but the weather channel seemed to update more often and the UI is awesome.

Ive noticed since the update, they added many new apps, but now the market lags a lot and today has been locking up as I scroll through.
any one else?

There's been about 2 or 3 updates since the HD7 was released in October, for each one there has been no info. I'm really not impressed with the HTC "Experience" on WP7, it fells like they can't compete and can't be bothered. Even the way the weather app is clunked onto the Hub and is the only one of their apps that cannot be pinned as a tile.
This time next year, I will be hard pushed to stay with HTC.

As I said earlier, it looks like the swan song of the HTC UI at least on WP7 platform.

I hope so. Sense has always been next to useless. Apart from a few animations it was a terrible interface.
I even turned it off on my WinMo 6 phone.

[Q] Requests Rom Samsung Galaxy Note with HTC Sense 3.5

Can you do it?

Folks over at sgs2 have been trying to port it over for quite sometime now. I doubt you will see it anytime soon. Besides do you really want sense?

Yes, I want Sence I've had so many HTC with Sense and like it especially 3.5.

Do i want sense? Yes, Its great! Touchwiz is not as refined.
Sense features i miss
The great Audio player, Better than power amp (In my opinion)
Fantastic lockscreen (customizable)
Great People, weather and calendar widgets
Perfect Dialpad
Well designed SMS and email client
And all the other sense themed widgets.
I know i lot of these features can be added with apps from the market, But none i have found so far have the Tidy uniform look of sense. Parts of touchwiz look like they have been made by a colour blind monkey! Also one of my biggest gripes with touchwiz is the lockscreen (poor animation, lack of customization and sometimes unresponsive) If i try to use a different lockscreen, NoLED stops working, which i like because the lack of a physical notification LED.
So far i have tried-
SPB shell 3D - expensive, and still needs some work for are device, but looks cool. More looks over substance
Launcher Pro - Its OK, just basic
Go laucher, Go Locker, Go Contacts - Good attempt, just not as refined and not optimized for the screen resolution of the note
The note, hardware wise, is the best Phone (yes it is a phone) I have owned. Personally i feel touchwiz needs some work.
Now others may love touhwiz, So i do not want this thread to turn into a fanboi thread of either way! This is just my opinion, its not intended to irritate anybody.
For one, i would love to see a sense rom for such great hardware!
Overall i like the note, and with any luck ICS will null my gripes.
Sorry to OP if i have hijacked this thread, Just sparked all my (common) sense thoughts off at once
Also best place for questions is the Q&A section.
Take it easy

For me TouchWiz and Sense is same ****. Go Launcher is normal. Holo is the best launcher I ever use. I hope samsung will not forget or ignore about this.

It was hard to get used to touchwiz after Htv Sense for first few days. I tried to find similar widgets to make it more look and function like htc sense. Then as more I get used to touchwiz the less I hated it. If I had a choice I would still prefer htc sense as already mentioned it is pretty well designed graphically and functionally out of the box. But I discover some touchwiz features missing in htc sense too. For instance uninstalling apps right from the app drawer is awesome just as practical as uninstalling on iphone. Samsung touchwiz seems to have it all as separate widgets and os wise but they are not as a whole package in terms of visual integrity and not as functional as sense considering each app separately. Some of features like remote tracking is not even in default rom unless you add them urself later which takes some research to even find out it's even possible. HTC sense serves it all as a whole package , even the navigating software you can purchase it right from the htc location widget and it is adapted to rest of widgets. Contact integration from different accounts like facebook, google, twitter etc is merged automatically on htc sense by choice which is missing on touchwiz. You have to add your htcsense user id and pass only once on Sense and it is recognized automatically on related apps like "htc likes" but on touchwiz you have to add your samsung account each time again and again for apps like "samsung apps" etc... Considering outstanding hardware features of Gnote I have no intension to go back to htc just for sense as none of their devices are even close to gnote recently but I would definitely like to see samsung engineers put more effort on improving touchwiz in terms of compatible graphic design, integrated all-in features , user friendly ui to make it more competitive against htc sense which seems to be only superiority of htc devices still left.

Not going to happen people. Have you EVER seen a non HTC device with Sense? Correct, and that won't change.

Moto Milestone had sense port

Im surprised it took 4 months for this kind of thread to pop up. I will never understand the ram hogging hype. It reminds me of iphone users bragging about a million apps so they can swipe the screen from left to right doing nothing.
But all in all we are using android which gives us plenty of options. If a clone of sense doesnt work. Theres always that option of making it yourself.
I swore launcher pro widgets were a exact replica of htc sense. Matched up with a theme and it was good to go. Plus that customizable widget app that did more things then htc lockscreen. But im guessing this isnt good enough.

Sense used to be great and now it's just too bloated

Thanks for the responses. I guess its each to here own. Now i have been assigned to this forum, i shall put this thread in its correct place.
Thread Moved To Q&A​

sense just has the best dialer avaible. the touchwiz dialer just doesnt find if i search for "uiop" and there is clearly a "qwertz uiop" in the contacts. sense dialer finds that.
aldo the touchwiz keyboard is odd... long press makes caps lock chars... sense gives you signs like "+ -*& %". i solved that with swiftkey x... but for the dialer theres no replacement right now. ex dialer is the closest but it needs 10 seconds or more to load the call log. thats not acceptable.
i like that the phone features of a phone are excelent, not just satisfiyng.

Why are there two of the exact same thread..?
From the exact same person..

Sense is an abomination, why would you want to buy the fastest phone available just to bog it down with bloatware, reducing it to a level of performance of a 1GHz single-core? But, to each his own - sadly, no way to make a Sense rom for a non-HTC device, if only for legality reasons. Sense is, at least partly, proprietary code.

Sense is the best out of the box android UI. Period.

I've just recently got my Galaxy Note and I'll admit I do miss the sense from my HTC Desire HD. Personally, it seems more intuitive when it comes to shortcuts, integration and it is visually appealing. However, I know it slows down the phone as it did that to my HTC Desire HD, especially when I updated to the latest sense. It's very laggy and the amount of animations are completely unnecessary. I don't need an animation of the page swivelling onto the screen when unlocking the phone. I'll miss the ease of access to certain things, but I want to get use to touchwiz.

There is an option to get Sense 3.0 or 3.5
Hi All,
there is an easier way to get sense plus even more ....

Sometimes HD2 with sense onboard acts smoother than Note with TW.
So if you want Sense, HD2 is your perfect choice.
Its hardly possible to port Sense to Note or other non-HTC devices.
