I admit it, I'm a bit of a twitter addict. And like my MPD client, I just couldn't find a twitter client that I liked. So I had some spare time today and whipped up my own. So far it does the basics -- shows the timelines, lets you set your status, and let's you reply to tweets. Of course there's a lot more to be done like showing user info (besides their icon), direct messages, and dealing with URLs in tweets.
It uses the same kinetic list code that I used in the MPD client, so it's kind of fun to scroll up and down and view the menus on the sides.
If you're a twitter user, you can try get my client from the google code site. Let me know if you have anything to say about it.
Current Version: v.52
I use tinyTwitter which works really well on my diamond

Umm, yeah. . . that's great you already have one you like. Keep right on using it . But like I mentioned, I never did find one I liked. Even more importantly, I never found an open source one that I could contribute to. So I made my own.
This version probably won't work out too well on a VGA screen. I took some shortcuts with sizing some info. VGA-pretty will have to wait for a bit.
This client has some real potential! I have been using ceTwit, but its slow load time, (seemingly) heavy battery drain, and lack of kinetic scrolling were all shortcomings. I am looking forward to further development especially direct msgs and twitpic support.
The UI took a bit to figure out but is slick and fun once you get it.
Thank you for putting this out.
Updated with some new features:
Direct messages
URL shortening with http://is.gd
Clickable @names and URLs in tweets
Bigger user images.
If you had a previous version installed, you may want to delete the cached profile pics so it'll get the bigger ones. Just delete Program Files\PockeTwit\ArtCache and run again. It'll re-fetch all the bigger images automatically.
Looks good. I have been trying every twitter client under the sun and cannot find one I am happy with. In particular I have been looking for one that supports GPS for location based messages.

I've been trying to think of something to do with GPS. I think twinkle is doing something with their own webservice to find users located near you -- I don't have those kinds of resources. But I could do something more basic, like posting your current location. I've got a great idea for a location-aware component, just no apps that need to know my location
There's a crash bug that pops up occasionally in my last release--that's still my first priority. And I think the code I wrote to parse out the clickable words is slowing things down a bit too much. But despite both of those, I'm proud of how well it's going so far.
I'm definitely looking for suggestions on what features to implement next, so I can surpass the other apps that are out there.
my UI suggestion is to right justify the timeline links on the left side of the UI, so that way you don't have to side scroll all the way across to click on one (Like on the right side ...but backwards) Also this may just be a user training issue, but I have a hard time side scrolling far enough that it doesn't auto reset back before I can make a selection.
Also maybe a tap and hold menu on the user picture for @ and D replies? Finally the clickable text is a bit, umm, sensitive? I don't know if it is just me, but my feed is littered with @replies so that makes scrolling down a landmine trying not to flick across a link.
Does it have, or is there plans for an auto-update of the friends timeline?
just got a crash while attempting an update, I think the URL link was tapped by accident. still not quite sure how that works yet.
I know people like features and not everyone wants the same features, but keep in mind that light and fast is a feature in itself, I like the fact it loads quickly and has a smooth interface. Great work!

SO this would inbed your GPS coordinates into twits? is that a desired feature? I just can't imagine that would be more effective than just saying "corner of 6th and Red River" ... unless the coordinates were clickable to say google maps, but then that is still an extra step. hmmm ... my phone doesn't have GPS so I never think what it's advantages are for these types of apps.
Thanks for the thoughtfull reply chuque. You made some great points.
The auto-update is probably what made it crash! I forgot and made a UI call from another thread. I'll try to fix that up in the next build.
I think I have a way to make the clickable text less sensitive too. I'll just make them react if you aren't scrolling. That should help.
I like the idea of right-justifying the left menu, but I'm not sure how easy that will be. I'll try it out though.
What advantage would a tap+hold menu have over the right menu?
Thanks again for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

None really, just another path to the same result. Right now, (and I am still in the learning curve) it feels like more work to have to highlight a twit, side scroll, click D, while thinking wouldn't it be easier if I could just click on the icon and go from there? ... I guess one is just more intuitive to me over the other. Given another few days I am sure it'll be second nature, so by no means consider it a highly desired request.
Also updates say "from web" instead of listing the client, I hope that changes as well, this is a good WM client already and could use the free advertisement.

I agree I would not want to see lat. and long. coordinates. I think something more like what you said, "corner of 6th and Red River". I have looked at apps that do something similar to this (where.com & loopt.com) but they do not support Windows Mobile. My current device is my first with GPS and I must say it is a lot of fun. Like you I had no desire for it ... until I had it. Now that I have had it I will not buy another device without it.
Dromio, one of the things that bugs me the most about other Twitter clients is the UI. They are stereotypical Windows Mobile looking. Why should iPhone have all of the cool looking apps? The only other Twitter client that I used that had an almost good looking UI was quakk. It is simple and easy to look at and I think has some potential, but progress seems halted. How interested are you in the UI of TinyTwit? I would not mind lending a hand myself, but I do not want to intrude either.
Another update this morning. Nothing major, just some bug-fixes and cleanups.
No more crash on auto-update.
Lots of fixes dealing with clickable text.
Some UI cleanups.
mikebphoto: Yeah, my main problem with the other clients was the "feel" too. Just so utilitarian. I'll admit I'm a bit jealous of all the fun the iphone folks seem to be having and I want to give us WM folks some of that same feel. I know my UI takes some getting used to, but the fun I get out of it makes it seem worth it to me. I hope others feel the same way.
Quakk looked nice, but scrolling did a wierd refresh thing every time. If you haven't seen Twitula, it's UI was pretty smooth too, but I had other problems with it. I know there are a bunch of clients out there (and the mobile web site is plenty useable too), but I was able to whip something up in a few hours using existing components and decided it was worth sharing.
And unlike the others I've seen, it's open source. Anyone can see how it all works and anyone is welcome to submit code to help out. I know my code is messy and can be tough to read, but I'm not too embarrassed to share.
I know I must sound like a total fanboy by this point, but I think this app is almost easier to use, and certainly more fun that the website itself.
Both the right justification and the linked text changes work well.
Next suggestion (I am almost starting to feel you are building this just for me) maybe add a setting for how far back it pulls twits? say 20/50/75 newest twits? or something like that. I am not a high traffic user but as I get more and more into this app I can see me relying on the sms forwards less. and it seems most my friends are west coast and ***** twit on their way home. So I get a lot of twits in a short period.
Thank you again for all the hard work.
The twitter library I used is already starting to hold me back. It doesn't support:
1. Follow/unfollow/block
2. Fetch more than one page of tweets
3. Set favorite on/off
4. Probably a bunch more I haven't looked at.
It's very very bare bones, but it was the only one I could find the source for and convert to fit the compact framework.
Looks like the fun development has to slow down while I work on adding features to the library itself
yet another (hopefully easy) suggestion from the peanut gallery. In mid twit today I wanted to flip over to opera to look something up, and realized there was no minimize option anywhere, and as it is a full screen app, didn't have access to the top bar, and had to get creative to do it. So maybe changing the right (or left) exit to a minimize button?

Another good idea, but I'm embarrassed to admit I don't know how! I've just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out how to make the application go to the background and come back the next time it is run in CF.NET and I've gotten nowhere!
To contrast, I was able to add a feature to automatically check for upgrades in 30 minutes (to be in the next build).
I feel silly
Ok, finishing up "fun development" on the weekend and have to start "pay my bills development" again on monday. I squeezed in a few more features though:
1. Can make a tweet "favorite". I use this to go back and follow URLs once I'm on a PC
2. Can Follow/Unfollow users
3. All timeline updates happen in the background so the UI doesn't pause while updating
4. Automatically check for new versions and upgrade
I think the next step will be storing tweets locally and only fetching new tweets since the latest stored one, to make it more friendly to the servers and able to display a longer list. But for now, I have to do my real job
I'm watching the download count grow on the homepage, and my excitement is tempered by the fear that the auto-update has gone out of whack and is re-downloading the application for someone over and over again.
Is the auto-update working ok? Should be up to v.09 now.
Shouldn't you be coding for food right now?
It updated just fine for me from .08 to .09 yesterday. closed itself launched IE D/L the .cab etc ... however nowhere does it say .09 (ie: no about or version in the remove program area)
also still listing as "from web" I guess the twitter folks are slow to trun around the client request form.
Had a random crash, and then when I reloaded it the top bar was still visible (cutting off the top line of txt in the time line) ... rebooted phone all is well. is there any type of log or anything I can send (assuming it would be helpful; and not jsut a random glitch as I was running a couple other apps at the time. I am running on a sprint ppc-6700 running one of the cooked up 6.1 upgrades)
Hi all, Each time there is news about leak firmware, I believe many of us here go mad and try to flash to the latest firmware, even though we know that those leak beta firmware may not be stable are and might bricked our phone permanently.
Among those firmwares we flashed, Froyo leak firmwares those we everyone is looking forward, one of the reason is of course promise from Samsung since day one that our SGS will get Froyo release.
But I would like to know what do you expect from Froyo release?
New function? Lag fix? JIT? New TouchWiz? Better Exchange support? GPS fix?
Personally, I'm looking forward "better" Exchange support, especially
1.GAL support,
2.task sync,
3.full table view support,
4.meeting invitation request/response
5. Away setup
Most of the features listed up there is supported by my older Nokia E71.it's sad to see Samsung rollout Froyo without those.
PS: item 1, 4, 5 is supported by HTC sense on their Desire of I'm not mistaken.
How about you all? Mind to share your Froyo wish list?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Would love a lag fix, but have my doubts it's gonna happen in an official firmware from Kies. What I'm looking forward to the most is Norwegian Swype, the screen rotation lock, integration into Chrome (chrome to phone) and being able to auto-update my apps.
I also heard something about an integrated 'official' task killer?
i'm only looking forward to the Install to EXTERNAL SD card option
and the ability to track each single app that uses the internet
only the app2sd thing to free some space. possible gps fixes? idk. not expecting much really.
i'm an update-whore. i don't know what it will help with a fresh flash, but i want it.
Speed boost. The Nexus One got a major speed boost from FroYo, I'm hoping it's the same way for SGS.
I hope Samsung dumps their RFS file system for something decent like ext2 or ext4.
And to optimise performance so it can beat the Nexus 1 like it should with the powerful hardware it has.
We already know about things like Flash and apps to SD card because they're in the JPC beta firmware (which I'm using).
I would like:
1. Flash
2. Lag fix
3. Speed boost
4. Better contact organisation.
5. GPS Fix
6. (I don't know how ppl call that but on iphone when you want to press bettween two letters when you are typing you got like some magnifier).
7. Serbian Swipe
I hope to see a speed improvement, since the N1 got it too. I really don´t think that it´s needed, because i come from WM6.X and i´m very happy with my SGS, but would be nice.
GPS should be fixed too.
Everything that comes additionaly is welcome
Like others, I'd love to see Samsung replaces RFS with a filesystem that has actually proven itself performance-wise like ext3. I'm not holding my breath, though...

Thanks for pointing it out, I'm expecting GAL support to cover other outlook info, for example phone number contact.
It's funny that you can use "Get Friend" function for FB, Tweeter and myspace, but not Exchange contact via GAL, weird, don't you think so?
It will be good if Froyo can support Landscape mode for desktop like what they show in IFA on another model

All Android phones can support it. The reason it doesn't by default is that it's confusing to some, and causes some display issues and heinous redraw times as you flip from orientation to orientation.
And that Epic/Pro in the picture above doesn't support it either, it just goes right to landscape when the keyboard is open, just like the Droid, MyTouch, G1, etc.
get alternative home screens like launcher pro and you can go landscape. but I hated it. annoying really.

I have car dock module, and I like to put the phone in Landscape mode for GPS. so it comes handy if Tw offer landscape.
The issue with launcher pro is that, it can't call Samsung Widget
I just can't have both world.
I would like (in order):
1. Lag fix
2. GPS Fix
3. Froyo's Speed boost
4. Improved battery life
5. Flash
1. Support for changing tone for calendar reminders
2. Lagfix
3. Remove autocapitalization of I when using Swype (since I mostly write in swedish)
These things I really want since they can almost be considered bugs. But I will of course enjoy everything that gets added with 2.2 like speed boost and such.
1. Lag fix
2. Lag fix
3. Lag fix
And by the way, I really hope they fix the lag...

there is a conflict between 3 & 4.
This ROM is rather incomplete as it is part of a project to backport parts of other HTC Sense 2.2 (Froyo) MDPI ROMs in ordr to have an HTC based Froyo ROM for Eris. Unlike the CyanogenMOD ports which have provided versions for models of their Froyo ROMs which were much easier to work on the Eris and have had 5+ months of painstaking work where this is only on its first month.
I'm just trying to get the optimization aspects done while others get full hardware functionality working, although I may join them soon. So what works? Allot actually. What doesn't? Thanks to Tazz, Tenzo, Conap & Decadance not much (BT audio, camera and WIFI hotspot).
It is fully themed using a combination of contributions providing a clean and somewhat unique Expresso look as well as many common performance tweaks which, to me, have provided a smoother, less choppy feel when interacting with the UI when compared to its parent ROMs.
Please note that portions of this ROM fall under the GPL, Apache and BSD licences. You may find the details of these licences here.
Since I rarely use the camera and never used BT audio I am currently using this as my day to day ROM. That does not mean it provides me a full experience. It is still very bleeding edge.

NOTE:
Before releasing more updates I am moving my efforts towards helping Tazz & Tenzo with core functionality and take what I can for that and help Kaos with Gingerbread. Once all core functionality is in place for this ROM's parent ROMs I will get this going as a serious ROM with the same focus it has now. So development on this ROM is still 100% active but it is gonna take a bit before you see a new release.

Hope it helps, sorry for the inconvenience.
I'm going to give this a try also. I've got two micro sd cards... one for Eclair ROMs and the other for Froyo ROMs. The Eclair card is partitioned for apps2sd and the Froyo card is all Fat32. I'm currently running Tenzo's xtrRCMix-Sense2.1 which is pretty awesome, but I think its time to swich cards for a while!

I downloaded it late last night and it took FOREVER! I see he updated the link... Anyhoo. I was able to get it to install and it seemed pretty smooth/stable. I saw a couple FCs.. one in particular was in Settings > Network > Mobile Net options. Each time I tried to get into that setting page, it would FC. I also tried to get Facebook from the Market and it would never download.
I like the new sense ui though! it looks really clean. I've not sampled Tazz's or Tenzo's yet.
No LWPs worked for me.
Switching back to XTRSense for now.
Keep up the work!

I ported my ReelPortal video conference to Android recently. It's reported to be working on the Viewsonic G Tablet with certain ROMs. I believe it works on the Archos 70/101, but I don't know how well, since the G Tablet has the Tegra-2 dual-core CPU and the Archos don't.
Anyhow, my app is published on AppLibs, or you can get it from the G Tablet thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908613
Please provide feedback if you try it. Thanks.
Beware of firmware 2.1.3 (not sure if 2.1.4 is any better):
Kashban: I got word from one of my friends owning an Archos 101 (non rooted, latest firmware 2.1.3), that ReelPortal is very buggy and slow on it. I have no problems on UrukDroid based on FW 2.0.71 and still waiting for Uruk to move on to the new FW, so as soon as I migrated I will test again.
Thanks! I will try it out

Feedback
First of all: Nicely done.
I tested it between my HTC Desire, the Archos 101it and my Netbook running Win7 32bit using Firefox 3.6.x.
A few Things which may be improved from my Perspective:
Exit function:
Not prominent enough on Android: If you just chose to back out of the App, it's still running, including Video and Audio broadcast. This is good if you want to bring another App to front without breaking the Conference, but if you intend to disconnect, you have to longpress on the Screen, which isn't obvious at first. You may accidently broadcast on and on without knowing.
Proposal: If leaving the app by the back button, ask the user what to do: Exit Application or put it in the background with running video/audio or put it in the background with video/audio stopped and muted. If the App is in background and still sending, it should show this by an Icon in the status bar of Android. Don't know if that's a goal possible to achieve with Adobe Air. Otherwise you may be sending video / audio without knowing and giving away your privacy.
Regarding privacy: Is there a way to encrypt the Streams? If not, even with your own Server someone might spoof on the Connection (I know it's P2P, but nevertheless routed through internet relays).
Login screen:
Sometimes when writing into the Nickname / Room Fields a leading Space is added and the Strings are not accepted. Better strip any leading and trailing Spaces from the input Strings without bothering the User.
Terms of Service: Should be gone once I clicked "save" and changable by Options Menu.
Would be nice if the App stores my Nickname and the Room I used before
Moving Windows are fancy but not needed on the login Screen. I was more irritated by it.
The Conference Room:
Paused Video Stream of Participant: No indication whether the Connection has been lost or the Participant paused the Stream. Perhaps putting a Message on Screen for Paused Streams (and Muted voice) would lead to more Confidence in the Robustness of the Software and the Connection.
Size of Conference Room Items: On small Screens like my 3.7 inch one of the Desire the Chat Window Controls are too small. Everything else seems to be ok.
Video Stream Quality. How is the initial setting calculated? Is it depending on the current kBit/s or just an overall Default?
Anyhow, this is a good Piece of Software you developed here. I'm not familiar with other Solutions on Android like Fring or Skype, but it looks very promising given the Fact it runs on all Devices with Flash Capacity (even iPhones and iPads with the Packager from Adobe)

If you press and hold on the main screen for 4 seconds, a pop up menu appears. It has the "Exit" and "Toggle Screen" buttons. The toggle screen suppose to toggle the screen between FullScreen and Normal (which is default to 800x480), but it doesn't work on Android because currently on Android, Normal equals FullScreen. I will look for other ways to get around it. Thanks for bringing it up.
For netbook, you can run it from a web browser at www.reelportal.com. Or you can install the AIR version via download link.
BTW, double-clicking on the main screen should also toggle the screen, but also not working on Android .

First of all: Nicely done.
I tested it between my HTC Desire, the Archos 101it and my Netbook running Win7 32bit using Firefox 3.6.x.
A few Things which may be improved from my Perspective:
Exit function:
Not prominent enough on Android: If you just chose to back out of the App, it's still running, including Video and Audio broadcast.

Thank you for the extensive feedback! I definitely like a fresh perspective. I will put your ideas on my to do list.
I was able to install on my 101 I now have to get adobe air and i'll try it later tonight.
I also tried to install it on my stock 2.1 verizon facinate and the apk won't install using astro.....any ideas?

it needs to have Android 2.2, and Adobe AIR 2.5.1, otherwise it won't function even if you manage to install it, because the API is not there to access the hardware....also, if your device have 2 cameras, the current API only allow access to 1 camera (most likely the back one). Android 2.3 would allow access to multiple cameras.

thanks...well the camera resolution is currently set to low (320x240) just so the device won't bog down...my plan is to allow the user to select the resolution, in a future version...but i don't have an Archos, so i can't really tell its actual camera quality.

I think it is a VGA camera. Not very good to begin with. If you can let us change that though it would be great.

Definitely! Actually, the original settings was at 640x480, but when some Samsung Galaxy Tab user reported the device was crawling at 1 frame every 5 secs, I figured the tablet cpu may not able to handle it, so I reduced it for now. But I do want to make it a user adjustable control. Same with the frame rate.

can you describe your setup details, like:
- are you testing between the 101T and another PC or something else
- is there lag with audio only test (video turned off)
- is there lag with video only test
- and at which end (tablet or PC) do you see the lag
- are you using P2P mode (default), or client/server mode
thanks.
New Version (1.0.1)
i just added a newer (experimental) version in the first post of the viewsonic thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908613
Changes:
- option to save nickname and room last used (you can clear it by set the fields to blank, then save).
- added new field to enter the Server ip address, in case you want to run your own server (if not set, it defaults to the last used server)
- hide that annoying red TOS box when you check it, and click Save.
- when you enable the webcam, you can set its resolution and frame rate.
the web client is running the new version also. feedback please.

The flash app is right there.
Well, I must say... this ROM sure is customizable and quite the speedy one. I am having fun diving into the customization that Cyanogen provides. However, there are some things that I just can't get over:
1. The AOSP dialer is centuries behind that of HTC. You can get to your specific contacts way faster using HTC's and the integration with the contact's Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr information is much more seamless as well. Someone here told me about Dialer One, but it isn't working nearly as well as HTC's. It doesn't even show your Facebook pictures, etc. To sum it all up, is there any way one can get HTC's dialer working in CM? This might be a dealbreaker for me. =/
2. The gallery also doesn't come close? Any way of getting HTC's gallery working in CM. It's irritating how all my album art is showing on it.
3. I don't mind the camera much since I use Vignette, but the camcorder is atrocious. I don't even know if I'm recording 720P, but if I am, then there's something wrong as the images seem a lot more blurry than on HTCs.
Aside from that, its a great ROM. Just not nearly as polished as VP and many others I've seen/used around. And, honestly, VP is just as customizable and much more stable. =/
1. I despise the sense dialer
2. Gallery is fine, if you don't like it, there are plenty to download
3. It is not 720p, but in my experience and with others input, the CM video looks much clearer on 52" LCD than the sense 720 video.
Sounds like you already have your mind made up. The first line on CM clearly states "this isn't sense and never will be".
Yes, VP is a great sense ROM, CM7 is better for ME

Ill bite, but mostly because I'm curious about this point. Personally I can't stand the HTC dialer so I'm curious what about it makes it superior to you. The "Facebook integration" sounds more like a misunderstanding on how that's setup as that works flawlessly for me, and its just a "flick" over to contacts so I really want to know what shortcut HTC has that makes it quicker. I mean, the messy metatags in the notes section of all my contacts is appalling, heaven forbid I actually want to use that space in my google contacts.
Dialer One I didn't think lived up-to the hype either, but then my root "hate" that spans _every_ dialer I've ever used seems to be a more core Android short coming: it fails to recognize phone numbers and link them correctly. Man Android fails hard at that. My 10yr old blackberry did it better. GOOGLE: IT'S NOT A MAP COORDINATE JUST BECAUSE THERES AN EXTENSION ON THE END.
That and 3-way calling is needlessly complex on all android phones .... can't we just rip off Apple on that one?
Anyway, tell m the pros ... i may rom swap and play with it. I'm constantly looking for a dialer mecca and have yet to be happy with any of them ...
Quick call the cm fanboys...each rom has it's plusses and minuses, get used to that
What rom is vp?
Edit.... vaelpack? That rom is nice. I keep coming back to Destroyer 2 myself. Dialer one can be changed a bit through settings. I do agree that the sense dialer is the best, but a tweaked dialer one is good for me.

I have used CM for a while but went back to sense, just preference. I have a nand backup and if I feel the need to play an SNES emulator on a big screen to show off, then I can switch back and forth. That's what's great about android and xda!!
But as far as dialers try Go Contacts. It's the closest to Sense dialer that I have been able to find, not perfect with integration (still in the works last time I checked) but the smart dialer capability works great.
The problem I have with AOSP is this:
It starts off super fast and it should because its a bare bones ROM.
I spend all kinds of time looking for widgets that can do the same things as the ones in Sense do (News Feed, Calendar, Weather, Bookmarks, People, etc.). Yes I've heard and have bought launcher pro its not the same.
Then as I start loading up a AOSP with all the widgets I need it starts to run about the same (sometimes worse no fault of the ROM) as Sense ROMs.
So then I just go back to Sense and save my self the trouble. AOSP ROMs are awesome for phones that don't have Sense. I bought my HTC EVO because I wanted Sense. Its fun to play around with AOSP ROMs but in the end I always come back. If it wasn't for Sense I probably would have gotten an Epic.
Say what you want thats my opinion and I'm entitled to it.
It takes all kinds, for sure. I don't use many widgets, so I'm happy. Another phone geek buddy loves the friend stream widget, etc... So he sticks to Sense.
I am a flashaholic so I run everything for a day or three.
Sent from mah SuperEvO..
Hours...lol
I have one screen and it has beautiful widgets, that's it. No apps, but have the essentials in the hidden app drawer in ADW.
That's why i don't like sense, I don't use any of it.
@zone23 - glad you bought an evo

Just like it was said it takes all kinds. If you don't use any of the Sense widgets then there is no need to run a Sense ROM. I agree with that 150%.
and thanks I'm glad I did too. Love this phone and I'm sure I'm gonna love the EVO 3D even more. Hope you guys all come with me. heres to the EVOZone 3D if I can figure out how to make the 3D graphics. That should be fun.
So...this thread is for you to tell us that you don't like cyanogen 7?
Alright....
Wanna search your contacts? Hold "Menu" to have your keyboard pop up.
See my sig for Facebook pictures, it's REALLY simple.
QuickPic in the market is awesome. If you want to use the AOSP galley just add a .nomedia (I'm 99% certain that's right) file to the folders you want to ignore (This is an option in QuickPic)
The camcorder does not use 720p yet, it will "probably" be in 7.1
Look out the thread police just showed up..

Thanks for the laugh man thats some funny **** right there.
Well, in Sense Dialer I can just start typing the name using the alpha numeric keypad, or the dialing the number and the list of results dynamically shows up top. Also, Sense Phone allows you to create a shortcut to the Call History (Call Log) on your homescreen (this might be doable in CM).
As far as the integration with FB and such goes, I like how the Facebook for Sense will synchronize your contacts birthday, photos, etc from within your phone application, calendar, etc. Didn't seem to be able to do that in CM. Peep will also do that for Twitter. I don't mind the official Twitter application and I know that it does sync over, but it also forces you to automatically sync on the background, where Peep can be synced automatically when opened.
Little things like that the keep CM away from being a daily driver for me.
comparing a sense based rom to a non sense based rom = LOL period
quickpic > 3d gallery nuff said
sorry i dont want 700 facebook contacts on my phone with HTC you have to take them all ( unless you use a rom like the inspire port )
OP.. Keep CM! It will grow on you, I promise.
Here's what you can do:
1. Download GO Contacts on android market and set it as your default dialer.
2. Download QuickPic on Android Market And set it as your default Gallery.
3. CM Camera does not record 720p yet. HOWEVER, the image and especially sound quality should be much. much better than sense. In the end, the not-quite-720p resolution being shot with CM7 ends up looking better than the regular 720p on sense, even upscaled.
BONUS: Download Go Weather if you miss the flip clock
BONUS 2: Download LauncherPro for butter smooth scrolling and app drawer.
Done! Now this is what it looks like!
+1 for quickpic. It isn't pretty but its spoon much faster than any gallery
