I really like the "Web search" share option in Chrome. (see attached) Can anyone think of a way to get that functionality in apps like Keep, Notepad, Kindle, etc ? All I can find is how to share text to a search in the Google app, but not how to highlight text in an app and share it to a Google search in the Chrome browser. (which is way more useful)
UPDATE: Dev kindly made a video tutorial.

I am working very hard on a new type of service that ties in to facebook and mobile apps.
I have it working at about 90% with an Android game app, but it appears that there are some issues that I can't seem to get answered. Is there anyone here that knows the facebook API very well that might be able to answer some questions for me regarding conecting my facebook App, with my web framework, and my mobile apps? WinMo guys will be helpful too as we are planning on making this service crossplatform to all phones except the crapples.
Thanks!!!
no love? or nobody here familiar with facebook?
Recently I answered a question on MSDN winmo forums c/p;
I'm not using FaceBook (FB), but a good friend is. She asked me to look into it as she too is having issues with FB obtained from Microsoft Marketplace. I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact V cq HCT Diamond 2 cd Topaz cq Pure .
First I looked at the FB provided by Microsoft and tested it in a virtual embedded environment, as I did with all FB's tested. And I too had several 'issues' all different with several PPC based FB alternatives. Then I went to Facebook Developer site(!) and did some reading, then I found out that any FaceBook application needs API Key , Application Secret , and Application ID .

Setup the Facebook Application - Part 1, on Facebook.com
The following steps assume you have a Facebook account.
• Go to http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php .
• If asked to login, use your Facebook login. If you haven’t created an application before, you will be asked to grant Facebook Application access to your Facebook account. You have to allow this in order for this process to work.
• Facebook will ask you for the Application Name that you want to use. This is a short human-readable name. It will be viewable to those who are allowed to visit your Facebook account so make it simple and clear.
• Agree to the terms and click Save Changes. Note: The next page that appears will contain three pieces of information that you will need for your Drupal FB Application: API Key, Application Secret, and Application ID. You will copy and paste this information into the applicable fields when creating your Drupal FB Application.
Canvas Page-specific Setup
Not necessary for Facebook Connect-only applications.
• Click on canvas in the left menu of your Facebook application screen. At the top of the screen that appears next, fill in the URL field. Keep the URL simple and descriptive. Formatting restrictions are provided on the screen. Please read them.

Currently my friend is using some beta version from another developer and still has some issues, found in the first google search string. Though for her they are only minor issues for which she wants to use her laptop anyway.
I hope these links help you. I'm gonna move to a next subject now

Also a heads up Facebook just changed there API not to long ago as well should be a lot better.
Okay, I know Flickr (from Yahoo!) is a great photo sharing site, but when Picasa is a Google product, how is it there's no app (that I've seen-maybe I'm missing something) for Picasa for the Eris? It's just odd to me, that's all. I use Picasa like it's going out of style, and I wish there was a way...
Am I missing something? If so, please, do tell!
If you hit share when selecting a photo it lets you choose picasa

Sorry, I guess I was more aiming at finding a Picasa App to view pictures. I apologize for not stating that properly! lol I knew about sharing pics, just wanted to view them like you can on your Flickr account.
picasa, being owned by google, doesnt really need an app per se.
google is just damn good at making mobile websites. none of their software have apps except for things made specifically for apps (shopper, etc), things that wouldn't work well with the current mobile web technologies (finance), or voice, which really does need an app to be more closely integrated with texting/calling, and for it to be able to notify you of new messages.
all of google's services, like reader and picasa, and so many more, just stay online. Google is a very very big "cloud" company. cloud computing is the whole basis of android, and the upcoming chrome os.
Lemcott is correct. Just open your browser and browse to google.com (if that's not already your homepage ), tap 'more' at the top of the page and then select Photos from the drop-down. That gives you access to all of your Picasa albums. Your other option is to use the 3D Gallery app. It syncs with Picasa.

SNS and SNSAccount are used to sync/backup/restore/fetch your contacts (and calendar) from your SNS accounts (e.g. google).
Do not freeze them if some of your contacts are saved to your google account, or if you use another SNS app (facebook, twitter, google, samsung, viber, whatsapp, etc)). The same goes for Google Contacts Sync and Google Calendar Sync.
Also, I wouldn't freeze DRM. Judging by its name, it's used to authorize applications that use DRM.
Lastly, this doesn't belong here. It's not even Ace related.

Hi,
I've just moved from Blackberry to HTC One which is my first Android device and am having some issues with the search functionality.
On the Blackberry, a search string would get me results from Mails, Messages, Apps, Settings, everything. On the HTC, I only get very limited results. Most importantly I can't figure out how to search email messages other than the subject/sender.
Considering Google is the search specialist, this should have been a basic feature. Or am I missing something? Are there any 3rd party apps that can do this?
Thanks..
Try Gmail and Google now is good hold down the home button
Tried it. Doesn't search message body or sms'. Only sender and subject.
You'll have to open the individual apps to do this. Google Now is a generation 1.0 application, it's not feature complete yet. In general, it'd require modifications both in Google Now and the other apps in order to share the data.
You could in theory try to find a replacement mail and SMS app that does talk to Google Now (shows up under Phone Search in Google Now Settings), but that is up to the individual apps. I don't know of any offhand.
Google search may be able to do what your asking. I know it has a bunch of options for what you want to search on your phone.

When in the gallery page, and I want to "share" as video or picture my options of programs to use is- messages, facebook, htc share, Mail (but this is my work account- I want gmail), picasa, dropbox (can I change to google drive?), bluetooth and flick for hts sense.
I want to use gmail, not my work account, but cannot figure out how to change that email account. Also, I use Google drive not dropbox, can this be changed as well?
Tried to delete the thread, but couldn't figure that out. Didn't realize that I could scroll down further past the first screen, doh....
