Change default twitter app

Hi - does anyone know of a way to change the default twitter app in the friendfeed from Peep to Touiteur (Which IMO is a FAR better twitter app)?? I only got my handset today and it's my first android device - so slowly getting to grips with it!
CHeers,
Badger

SWIFT is one of best twitter clients on android

No, sorry, i don't, but in terms of better twitter apps, have you looked at SWIFT ? It's been the new rising star in twitter clients on android.
On a second note: Since I have not yet received my Desire, could you pleas post either screenshots or a list of settings/preferences that DO show for Friendfeed? I ask specifically about setting intervals for refreshing the stream. Does it provide separate refresh rates for each of the feeds, or just one main one, or none at all?
I ask because this is predictably going to be the biggest battery drainer on the Desire, so I am just getting a leg up before getting my device :;

Sorry - i spoke too son and not even checked out:
http://levelupstudio.com/touiteur
looks like a great twitter client -- and what i just found out is it supports the "twitlonger" API, which makes it, to me all the more useful.

Why twitlonger?

Ok, my wife is the one with the Desire, but from using latest version on my Hero.
Just go to Settings> Accounts & Sync
Click on Twitter, then simply click on 'Remove Account'
That will remove all twitter from FriendFeed.
Then simply use whatever other app you want, either by clicking on the app icon to start it, or by installing the app's widget if it has one.

Thanks for this, but I would like to continue using the friend feed, just not use peep as the default app when opening a post from the friend feed.
@quicksite - No settings I can see for refreshing at all...Battery life was pretty poor yesterday, but i did play non stop with my new toy for like 8 hours

(Q) Foyo 2.2 with sense ROM

Hi Guys is there a froyo rom with sense for the legend? really hating the software on my legend after the last update and my texts are all wrong Would love froyo with sense on my device.
Thanks

way too fat

No... Sense is too fat. Try the Azure build... you won't miss the HTC stuff

Agree But it seems like azure doesn't use jit, so it's performance is almost the same as stock htc rom with sense

False...

Who told you that?

JIT was disabled until v0.6. Ali Ba said it somewhere...
We're at v1.0.1, so JIT is there and working

try Beautiful widgets, the weather clock is very customizable. costs a couple of bucks, but totally worth it if you miss the clock.

i've tried the azure, but it's almost unusable without htc's stuff (no smart dialer, facebook and twitter integration with contacts)

in my opinion azure is the best.i am getting best performance than any other rom.
i don't miss htc sense ui........i am using better widgets and some twitter and Facebook widgets i manage to get my nostalgic feeling of htc sense..........so my opinion to go for azure rom...........

Froyo offers contact-linking out of the box which basically means any app can add information to your contacts. The official Twitter and Facebook apps synchronize contacts and with 2.2 you can select which ones to link (just like with Sense on 2.1 ROMs).
If you tell me you need Sense for this then I'm quite sure you didn't even try.

Thanks Ali ba for these explanations. I can understand makaze because I also tried a froyo rom, not azure, maybe a couple of months ago and I went back really fast to myprevious rom because I missed exactly these two things, facebook contact sync and smart dialing.
Like makaze , when I saw these problems, I thought it was because the sense absence, and I didnt search a lot for a way around, they just were 2 very important issues. But if you say facebook contacts syncsworks, I wil try azure tomorro!! by the way, does anyone know how to install a smar dialer like htc's? with that it would be just perfect

I like a clean rom, what I need I can install myself, when I buy a Computer, I also format it and reinstall it without the software of the pc maker.
Dialer one I use, is nearly the same as HTC and

I have same issue such as you , no life without sense !
try zeam launcher
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/zeam-launcher_guca.html

Syncing with facebook and twitter is working fine here, lets not give out false information to anyone reading this. Facebook integration is supported fine in Azure ROM (and others)!

I am going to give it a try... I guess that if we want to have the last version of android, now and in future releases, we are gonna have to get use to live without htc sense

i've installed both facebook and twitter but haven't really noticed much of an integration (eg. people photos not downloading, unable to browse their albums directly via phone like in htc's friendfeed, see status updates when opening contact...). but then again, the biggest drawback is that there is no smartdialer and i still can't understand why an smartphone operating system does not include this by default (we're not in 2001)

[Q] Apps I can remove if I never want to use sense UI again?

Hello all. I have searched and have found some info on this but not sure if I am missing anything so I wanted to ask. My scenario is basically this.
I have Myn's Warm RLS4 installed on my rooted Evo with Riptides clear froyo V9 theme flashed as well. I do not use sense as my interface at all, I use Launcher pro plus. The only thing I want to keep from sense is the dialer and the applications that allow my facebook pics and info to link to my sense contacts (Friendstream and/or Facebook for HTC sense I believe is responsible for this I believe)
Does anyone have experience in what apps I can remove safely and still keep the social integration provided Sense?
I want to freee up more space for memory and apps as well as not have things load from sense into the memory banks if I am not using them. I see a bunch of sense widgets installed that I will not use anymore so I assume I can remove those, but I am just afraid of losing the contact/social integration that sense provides.
If anyone has done this before and can offer some assistance or maybe a link that I have not found yet I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any responses!!

Just FYI, the official Facebook and Twitter apps offer contact integration/syncing. In AOSP it's the way native social integration works. It probably works best on a AOSP ROM and might not even work on a Sense ROM so YMMV.

Thanks for that info. I was not aware that I could achieve the same contact integration functionality with AOSP. I would love to use an AOSP ROM instead but none of them have functioning 4g and 4g in my area is wicked fast so I find it really hard to give up, LOL

No facebook notifications is a problem with the facebook app itself, not a ROM problem. Pushee is an app that is supposed to fix this, though I think they are trying to set up servers for it, so it isn't available yet.

thanks alot and what do u suggest is the best app to overclock

Best overclock app by far for the D2 is Droid Overclock. It is available in the market and I believe it is only $1.50 and well worth every penny.
You could use SetCPU, however you would have to load your own kernel module, which can be very complicated, and could possibly put your phone in a bootloop.
Droid Overclock loads a kernel module for you. It gives you choices such as voltage and frequencies. You choose, it does the rest. It also gives you profile choices very similar to SetCPU. It's very user friendly.
As a warning (which the apps tells you too) don't set any boot frequencies till you are sure you phone is stable. I've been able to overclock my D2 to 1.35GHz on ultra low voltage. I would get a random reboot every so often, so I toned it down to 1.25GHz and haven't had a problem.

[Q] Motoblur on CM7

Will there be any method to have Motoblur (social networking app) on my defy with CM7 RC0? Thanks so much

Why would you want to do that? There are currently 2 choices for gingerbread on the Defy.
1. CM7 RC0 (vanilla gingerbread or at least very close to)
2. Leaked 2.3.4 with Motoblur
Just pick one.

RC1 is avaible too!
Anyway, CM7 is used from those who wants their device free of moto stuffs.
Your question doesn't make sense

Absolutely agree with carlo93.
I am for some strange reason absolutely loving the 2.3.4 MotoBLUR interface. Am I crazy?

I too wanted motoblur on cm7 just for facebook contact sync. well guess what? When u install cm7 and sign into your google account and that google apps pops up to choose things like youtube and gmail and facebook, the facebook has contact sync!!!!!!!! HUZZAAAAH. so if thats all you need motoblur for, cm7 will have it with the facebook app.

No, you aren't!
I love that interface too, even though there are some issues i can't stand ( red arrows if you disable mobile data, ultra-bright softkeys ).

By the way, when MotoBLUR syncs facebook contacts, it pulls high-res profile pictures. When the official facebook app syncs to your contacts, it pulls really low-res profile pictures (as in CM7's case).
+1 to MotoBLUR for this nifty detail!

motoblur on cm7?
whaaaat....
come on people..
that doesn't make any sense at all.

I think the alarm clock of MotoBlur is better than CM7.
But I can't install it in CM7

This one works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1114
It gives you the Moto alarm screen, with it's 'hit anywhere to snooze' or 'swipe to dismiss'. Which is probably the one reason people (including me ) like to Moto alarm app.

The capability to locate the phone when he's lost is a good thing too with motoblur...
( locate, delete datas, ... on a lost phone )
