I've been look in the Marketplace for a good slideshow app for my HD7. I've found a couple, but the settings were primitive and didn't offer what I wanted. Would you mind suggesting the app you use.
You'd think HTC and Microsoft would see that as a basic application to have on the phone.
Thanks

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!

What issue?
Does anyone have the other HTC Apps that are shown on the hub in all the photos.
Notes, Stickys and flash light?
All i have is the photo editor
No, on my O2 handset they are also missing.
If you go into Marketplace > Applications there is an 'HTC Apps' category on the first screen but selecting it only says 'not available'. I was hoping there would be either some pre-installed or available to download free to HTC devices. Bedside Clock was the one I wanted forthe HD7.
I'm disappointed by the quality of HTC's apps so far.
They are still designing their apps in the Sense style, when everything about Windows Phone 7 is Metro. For a good example of this, have a look at the Unit Converter app (by Microsoft) available from the Marketplace. It fits perfectly with the Metro style. The HTC Converter app is garish in comparison with too much faux-3d bezels, borders and colour. I uninstalled it immediately. The same applies to the Stocks app; it doesn't fit with WP7.
And in fairness to many of the other developers on the Marketplace, they have seen the advantages of the Metro style and have developed their GUIs in accordance.
Let's hope HTC will release future apps in the Metro style.

I totally agree! I was getting so tired of the Sense UI, which I've used since early Touch3D, and have been looking forward to change - they have flooded the market putting it on WM and Android.
I think the new HTC HUB is a big let down, the apps don't have a common interface, it takes too long to get into the weather. All the HTC hub is for is eyecandy.
HTC created the "info at a glance" UI with Sense, but they have totally lost the plot.
The flashlight app is probably the only one I'll continue to use. Am I right in thinking that most of the flashlight apps on the Marketplace don't actually use the LEDs on the back, they just change the display to full brightness?
I have to say the Love app is particularly bizarre..

probably HTC's punishing MS for not letting it bloat the new OS
I wonder how MS let HTC to release apps with that design. They didn't even try to follow guidelines.

Hi I have the Htc HD 7 on O2 network Uk and I have download all the Htc apps and are running fine.
although I do feel that htc hub is a waste on the phone. I t should have been more like how they have it on android. I beleive Microsoft is at fault.
But they are brilliant apps though too bad they dont compliment WM7 much as they do android .
Might get my self an Desire Hd as well
Looking for a contact widget that functions like the HTC Sense version (I'm running DL's DesireZ), but one that has a higher density of contacts. IOW, the HTC widget is 3x5 for a total of 15 favorites. I was looking for something more like 5 or 6 wide by 8 or more rows.
One thing that's important is to be able to have a default action on the contact as it is now, but have options to text/email/edit, etc. pop up so that I can still work with my main favorites. IOW, I don't want it to be one function (like call) only.
Hope y'all can point me in the right direciton.
Thanks!
People widget. Theres a free version and a paid version. Its the one with the blue siloeluete icon for the app.

Can you be more specific, please? I typed in 'people widget' and got 300 some-odd results. Are you talking about this one?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mjdev.people&feature=search_result
I also saw LaunchX which looks good, but I don't know if it will give direct access to use other contact data via the same icon.

Scrollable ContactWidget Beta by developer Florian Sunderman is my personal favorite. It scrolls smoothly, has several widget sizes and display/behavior options. It's a beta, but has always been 100% stable for me in several different ROMs.
-HD2 Android-
Looks good - I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
Anyone find a good fantasy football draft app they like? Not having much luck finding one that takes advantage of the tablet size screen. Looking for one that also support auction style as well.

I will say that I admitedly didn't use my draft app for anything other than keeping track of the players who were taken (only because I didn't think of using one until we were 5 picks in so I didn't look for any specific features, but I found and liked "draft punk" which was free. I guess look at it and see if it has the features you want.
