gmail dark theme(?) - Captivate Themes and Apps

has anyone seen a dark gmail theme? (white text + black blackground)
the samsung email app has this option, but sometimes it has problems formatting attachments

Search the forums. There's one floating around I just can't remember where I found it.

Facebook For Android is a piece of ****. I hate that people actually like it. The iPhone version is twenty times better....seems like the Android app was coded by an utter retard.
Flow is awesome: better even than iPhone official version of Facebook which - while good - suffers far more annoying bugs.
Through Flow you can set up push notifications easily through its gmail interception system. They work immediately and look brilliant. If you turn the popup on then when someone comments it shows their picture and what they said in a little window. You can scroll through multiple popups. notifies you for everything you have set up Facebook Emails to tell you about.
It supports loads of things that Facebook for Android doesn't support such as tagging, untagging, deleting posts, viewing 'likes', setting profile pictures and uploading whole albums from the gallery at full size. Not too keen on the icons on the main menu but the developer is working on it.
Also it doesn't keep you logged into chat 24/7 and drain your battery, nor does it link to the browser everytime you try and do anything. Only thing it doesn't support is inbox (owing to Facebook API I believe) but it does give push notifications of inbox messages and opens up the requisite page in the mobile site.
Flow for Facebook all the way - absolutely phenominal. Screw the official app.

Why would you want chat within the app? Its a piece of crap on iPhone too and drains battery like hell as it doesn't keep you logged in server side. You can download Beejive for Facebook for FREE. It not only keeps you logged in for as long as you choose to but its very reliable and uses c2dm so uses next to no battery.
Screw chat within the app.
For a great widget use Launcher Pro. Best Facebook widget I've seen.

IPhone Facebook app is a lot better than Facebook for Android but it still leaves a lot to be desired. Notifications are clunky and when you open up a push notification it doesn't refresh the notifications feed itself upon opening. Photo comments OFTEN don't show even though you've been sent a notification of one - often takes a number of restarts and refreshes to show them. Lots of other little bugs. Like I say, iPhone app IS better BUT just look on iTunes at reviews of the app to see that it is less than perfect!
Thanks, i just bought Flow for facebook and its great!
Flow is actually nice but the lack of a widget lets it down.
thanks everyone for responfding
i just installed flow and like it so far
gun bros
FLOW developer is working on a widget I believe.
The app now has an integrated quick reply feature so when your notification popup appears you can immediately respond to it without even leaving the screen you're in. Pretty brilliant I reckon and I've seen nothing like it on any other platform.
thanks for flow

Plume Unread Count

I haven't been able to get the unread count to appear on the Plume widget...ever (okay, it worked on my Dinc), ever prior to rooting. I've ticked the box in settings, I've cleared the cache, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app...I've done all that I can think of. Anyone else have this issue and sort it out, or have suggestions as to what to try? Thank you.
Rooted Thunder
So.....is anyone else even using Plume?
I use plume and see the unread count on the widget. I didn't do anything special to it and it shows fine.

are you guys using the scrolling widget? mine doesn't work...I hear it's a sense issue but not positive since this is my first sense phone. I get 'false from plume' messages.
@itsDollar. Huh, it guess that I need to continue to mess with it and hopefully I'll stumble upon what's going on.
@bretnj. I'm not familiar with the scrolling widget. I may have to take a peek at it.
The scrolling widget has issues with sense. It did work until I loaded a ROM and now it doesn't again.

Push notifications with Official Twitter?

I used to have an OG Droid and got the Bionic on release date. I have searched, and searched and found nothing on this topic anywhere on the internet (which I find odd). Is there a reason the "auto refresh" feature for twitter does not show up on the bionic?
Also is there another app, or does the built-in blur twitter use push notifications?
TIA
I believe it is the last reason you stated. Go to settings>accounts>twitter. Check the menus in there. There is also a place in settings that lists social status update settings. Let me look quick and I'll update.
Go into settings>battery and data manager>data services?(bottom one)>social applications. Check to see if push is enabled.

Is that only for the built-in BLUR social messaging (I knew the setting was there, but wasn't sure if it only applied to BLUR apps)? If so I cannot see any setting in the BLUR twitter account to receive notifications for tweets, is there one?
Since this phone has a native twitter client built in, I don't think you can get push from the market app - similar to FB.
My advice? Download tweetcaster. Problem solved and better app.

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me because the "social networking" application is pretty terrible/featureless. Tweetcaster has push notifications?
edit: Also I was on Liberty, not stock and the option still wasn't there so maybe it is something Motorola did inside of their source. I might look around at it today and see if I can find the culprit for this.
edit2:
reddit.com/r/Android/comments/j6z4p/anyone_else_notice_automatic_refresh_missing_in/
It seems this issue may not be tied to Motorola, but instead the official twitter app. However I have looked at the other twitter apps and do not see push notifications (or c2dm) mentioned anywhere.
Tweetcaster has push.

Interesting as it would not appear so by looking at the settings since the settings show different refresh times, and no option for push/c2dm. Is tweetdeck also this way?
edit: Tweetcaster definitely does not have push/c2dm messaging.
Bump. Does anyone have any idea? And if tweetcaster has push notifications how do you enable them?
TIA

[Q] [Swype] Email bug - inserts deleted words

Using the latest version of the Swype beta, 3.26.92D.36178.t0.
I'm wondering if this is a Captivate issue, since I've checked it on my friends' phones and they don't have this problem.
When using the stock email client (not Gmail) and Swype, I keep getting an issue where words I just deleted keep popping back into the text area. If I keep backspacing, I can get a whole string of the deleted words. I can force it to stop by selecting the entire word (long press) and cutting it, but this is annoying. Has anyone else experienced this?
I have exact same issue. I am on apex 9.3.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
This just started happening to me, too.. Though I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S2.. Latest Swype, and only in the Email app (for Exchange/IMAP email). Works fine everywhere else.
Turn off word suggestion the swype preferences.
thanks that works!
I have the same on Galaxy S2 as well - this workaround has fixed it for me! Cheers!

Gmail Glitch?

While I'm at work, I email back and forth to my girlfriend. She just switched from a Sprint S5 to an AT&T S5 and she's experienced this on both phones. After an email thread (conversation) gets a pretty good buildup of emails (today it happened in two different conversations - once after 20 emails and the second time after 40 emails), when she goes to hit reply, it will do one of two things...
1. if she has any apps open in the background, the screen will turn white and then it will switch to that app (or the last app she had open)
2. Or, if she doesn't have any recent apps, it will go to her home screen after the white screen.
Almost seems like that app is crashing, but there's no errors or anything like that stating that Gmail has stopped working or whatever. I tried searching XDA for a general Q&A help section or an app Q&A help section, but couldn't find either where I thought this would fit.
Hopefully someone is able to help out, or at least point me in the right direction. Thank you!
Bump... Anyone have any ideas? Anyone know a better place to ask? Thanks!
