Database Develop

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....

Cheers,
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

[ROM] Unrevolved by ozzeh

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've never used it but, from what I hear it doesn't work yet.

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??
edit...nevermind. You have to download from the roms.sodpit.com frontpage. Won't download from http://roms.sodpit.com/2010/06/22/unrevolved-zip-by-ozzeh/roms/ozzeh/apps.zip

LOVING the home screen rotation, AH finally! Might actually stick with this one for a bit after I try out jager 1.1

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.

[Q] Which email program do you use? (gmail users)

Which email program do you use? Do you use the gmail app, the email app, or a separate application?
I personally prefer the look and functionality of the email app, but the quickness of the gmail app and it's push gmail notifications.
anyone else?

Personally, I don't care for either of the email apps on the phone. I use K9 for everything.

k9 you say. i'll look into that.

Don't use the version that's in the Android Market. It's actually an older version. If you search for it on Google, you can get the code.google.com page with the latest version and then Sideload it onto your phone. I believe the latest is 3.102.
Edit: I stand corrected, it's now 3.105

Heh, I already had it downloaded before i read this, but I put the newest version on like you said and the one issue I had is fixed already.
On the market version, it wasn't going directly to my inbox. on the 3.105 it does. I really like this app. thanks for the suggestion.

Anytime
It seems to fill in the voids left by the default Email app that comes with the phone.

I use mail droid but it's still in beta, I can't get links to open the browser sometimes. It does supposedly work with microsoft exchange servers. I'll look into k9

When i tried K9 a month ago, it was agonizingly slow - attributed to the phone lag by most.
Are you guys seeing the lag, or do you have the lag fix installed? Maybe K9 changed something?
Also, have they added real PUSH/Sync yet for Gmail and Exchange or are they still polling and doing WebDav stuff?

Do you have a link for it or what you actually searched for in google, I can not seem to find it.
thanks!

I switched from using the Gmail and Email apps to K-9. So far I prefer it because of the options and the integrated inbox w/ push for my gmail account.

double post...

Thanks, I was thinking it was a google product and was searching for the wrong thing. Just installed it and looks pretty good so far.

Unfortunately, it's still not real push yet, but the app itself does seem to be pretty fast now. But I have it poll every 2 hours and that works fine for me.
Edit: They also seem to be churning out lots of bug fixes and releasing the updated version pretty fast. It went from 3105 to 3107 as of 8 hours prior to this edit.

I have tried quite a few as the stock left a lot to be desired. I used Maildroid,while good, it was very slow for me. I tried Seven until I noticed it sent an international mms everytime you added an account and doesn't do HTML emails. Now I'm down to K-9 which I like, just visually unappealing.
I guess its just trial and error until you find features you like.

After reading this thread I downloaded k9 and I do agree its better than maildroid. It gives the notification faster (i have both running right now) and the universal mailbox is icing on the cake. Thanks guys!

I honestly don't love any mail client. I tried K9, but it is terribly ugly and more importantly than that, it doesn't do pinch zoom smoothly at all. The samsung app is very attractive looking, but its slow as hell and doesn't do push for gmail. Ultimately, I am currently sticking with the gmail app. Since no other app does what I want anyway, I figure why not use the fastest one? With push for gmail and faster performance, I'll switch back to the stock samsung app...maybe in a new version? I guess we'll see...

If only the Gmail app would let you select/copy text from the messages...

I never knew that, then again, never tried to do it.
And for those who say K9 isn't very visually appealing, if it works, and does what you need when you need it to, then I can't see a reason to complain. You could say the same about a car, if it's your only choice, and it gets you from point A to point B in one piece and on time, you take it.

I dunno man, I bought a mercedes cause I like the comfort, it's stylish, and because I simply won't be caught driving a hyundai. Having said that, I just installed K9 and it's pretty ugly, more like driving a kia I suppose. Uninstalling now. Stock gmail app for me it is!

[Q] The Lag of Facebook app Saga

People, I don't know what to do. I really want to use Facebook's app in my P880, but it cause too much lag over all other applications and resources. Sometimes I need to wait 30s to use my phone, mainly when a turn data or wi-fi on. When this app isn't installed I have a normal experience.
I just tried:
- Stock Rom, CM11 Rom, Euphoria OS;
- Stock Kernel, Iodak Kernel;
- Best Facebook clients are not updating since 2013;
- Facebook on browser, are fast but can't open images entire screen and can't provide notifications;
- Change options in app;
- Change Performance options of each ROM.
Please, if someone had sucess to run the app without this mad lag share with us.

Tried the "simple facebook" app?

I used to untick all autoruns of the APP using 3c toolbox.This reduces it's effect on general system performance but there are still a few services of it running, you have to turn them off at every boot.
Still, the facebook is badly coded/optimized and I prefer to use my web browser to browse facebook since I get notifications with SMS anyway.

Facebook app is among the worst ever Android apps made. As you too noticed, mainly on network change, it gets insanely laggy. It just isn't worth using.

Thank you, guys!

Nice app, i didn't know. There are too many options that I need a master degree to understand all. =), but I'm trying that carefully. Meanwhile I just made my phone even worst, but with the last config a little bit better.

Sad, but true! I can't understand what they want with this. My wife's Samsung S4 can run it, just with small lags inside app, but it is another class of phone.

Good roms with 4K camera and no GAPPS?

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is any good roms with later Z series camera ported and no google apps? I tried browsing the forums here to find some good alternatives, but I have not been able to locate the ideal rom yet.
I have had problem with all CM based roms that touchscreen gets unresponsive randomly, so I'd really like it if you can suggest non-CM based roms for me. Previously I used ihackers, which was GREAT.

Thanks for the link. This is what I'm running right now.
But I'd really like it if someone made a version of this where all the Sony and Google services/apps were optional instead of already installed. I want my Xperia to be without facebook integration etc.

So just uninstall all those apps with some app manager
