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!

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

Slingplayer officially in market!!!

Slinglplayer for Android is in the market people!! Just downloaded it!!!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

ok finally got this loaded up. i have to say i am extremely disappointed with this software. compared to the ipod/iphone and even windows mobile this software ****ing blows. how the hell can you not have a favorites option anymore? that is probably the most important option to have in my opinion and its gone. no more channel logos to click on and go immediately to that channel who in their right mind would get rid of this feature. if its there, i can't find it anywhere and i've read the entire help file. the software is just so much worse i can't believe they call this an improvement. soooooo disappointed and yes i had to pay these ****suckers another $30 license.
anyone find out if the HDMI output works with this? it better...

from JAPAN
I can not find in market,
anyway I can search it from JAPAN?

You can just get a refund in the marketplace for it

I set up my main slingplayer from my laptop. From there I set up my favorites. Once you log into your account and select your Slingbox,all your favorites transfer over. Mine did when I went from WinMo to iPhone, and now iPhone to Android.

Just ordered me a Slingbox from Amazon, this is gonna be awesome! Goodbye Sprint TV LOL

The video quality on this thing beats the iPhone version by FAR.

This must be my problem i dont have any favorites setup on the desktop version. They didnt transfer over from winmo or my ipod.
Do you actually have favorites on android cause this makes no sense.

From what I'm reading everywhere is u have to set up your favs on your laptop or pc and they will transfer over to the android app. I'm at work so I haven't even hooked up my slingplayer yet. How does that work? I already bought the app, I know in Windows u had to put in a key but how does it work with android will it automatically connect to my slingbox since I already have an acct set up?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Thats what i mean they transferred over from winmo to my ipod. But i got nothing in android. Minimally you should see a favorites button or something and nothing is there and its not mentioned in the help file.
furthermore, i just setup and saved favorites on my laptop for the PC slingplayer. saved the favorites to my account, logged out....still have nothing in android.
does anyone actually have FAVORITES in android slingplayer?

Just read the description in the Market. Very disappointed this app wont work with my Sling Classic.

It probably will, they just don't officially support it. I bought a Slingbox AV on Woot for around $50-$60 many years ago and it just keeps finding new ways to be useful.
My Slingbox AV works perfectly with this app, huzzah for cable on the go!

Does anyone have the Pro-HD model? Are you able to get HD to your evo over just the 3g network? Theres no 4g in AZ right now so I'm contemplating on which slingbox to get.

When I loaded this up for the first time, I signed into my account and picked my Slingbox. Soon as the video loaded up, I tapped the screen, which brought up a huge grid view with various buttons, one is labeled Favorites. Upon clicked said button, it changes my channels to the favorites I have picked out and have had picked out back on my iPhone.
It will not bring up a seperate window listing them. If I want to add more favorites, I have to load up my desktop version, and choose them there. My desktop version (2.0.4.521) had a dropdown box with the guide. Its got a catagory labeled Mobile Favorites. The ones I chose there, are the channels that my Slingplayer for Android changes channels to when I press the favorites button on my phone..
I dont know how else to explain it lol

Any way around the $ 30 charge? I have 3 winmo licenses and would irritate me to purchase this again. Anyone have the apk?

Anyone knows whats the best Slingbox to purchase? I'm looking at the prices and I don't think 150 for Slingbox Solo + 30 for the App is a good deal for watching tv in my phone. :/

I don't see it in the market. I'm rooted and i'm running the stock rooted rom. I can download signed apps like google goggles and everything else but slingplayer is not showing. Also i just found out you have to have sling box so i may pass on this.

this is what i don't understand i don't have a FAVORITES button anywhere. its nowhere to be seen and i went and setup favorites on the desktop version. there must be some type of bug or something because in winmo and the ipod version i have favorites clear as day, in android....NOTHING.
please if you can take a screenshot showing favorites cause this is insane. minimally i should see an empty button.

I had a long chat with reps at Sling today regarding just this. I wanted to transfer my winmo licenses in lieu of having to purchase the software for Android.
According to the terms here..
If you purchased SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Phone from the Windows Marketplace for Mobile, you can only transfer the registration to other Windows Phone devices via the Windows Marketplace for Mobile (via your PC or directly to your phone).

[THINK TANK] Facebook adobe air?

http://github.com/jubishop/Facebook-for-Adobe-AIR
Source code for Facebook client for Adobe Air
We have air for Froyo now.
Is it possible to compile into android air apk for a GOOD Facebook client?

For the love of God, please.

technically if it were developed using adobe's software tools and is sourced for AIR it shouldn't be hard to port in to an .apk i guess we shall see...

Have you actually tried Facebook for Air? It's just a news feed and status bar. No other features. It is worse than Android Facebook.
Plus, AIR apps must be optimized for mobile. This one wouldn't be too hard to optimize if you have all the code, but it isn't just BOOM throw it into Flash CS5 and BOOM export to APK.

i was really hoping for something good out of this...facebook for android is downright HORRIBLE. I don't understand why the iphone version has not been put to use on android, considering there are more android running devices than ios.

Well, from the other apps I have converted, this should be easy.. will report back soon!
-edit
not sure if this will work as is, with the popup to login and all.. but I will try

Thanks dg

In the past few months, the facebook for android app has gotten infinitely better. It's almost on par with the iphone version now. What is it that you all feel is missing that would be remedied with this version? Just curious.

The fact that when you get a notification it takes you to the mobile site is a big issue, unless I'm missing something. That just seems like they got lazy in their design because you can view all of your updates manually. Also a lack of IM feature also kind of sucks. It's got a nice look to it, but the iphone facebook app is much better.

cant tag them either

can't get push notifications either. you have to keep refreshing your app.

if you click the "messages" tab too quickly and pick a thread you were already messaging someone in, it shows up blank and you have to restart facebook... sooo frustrating

My biggest gripes are no push notifications, no tagging, no picture commenting, no liking statuses, and no "places" functionality.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

i think facebook is just doomed for android lol

The biggest gripe I have is previously on my Dream(G1 for AT&T Canada) they ported the nexus facebook app over- which is the same app with a few more features. They had the ability to Sync your pictures/updates with contacts in your phone. It worked like the official twitter app works. On our phone its just plane broken. If you uninstall-reinstall the app and go through the setup it will give you a "finish" button after signing in the first time. If you hit your back button on the touchpad you will see the contact sync. Sad thing though is its just broke. If you Go to your accounts sync in settings you will see the SNS setings up top then the Facebook down below your Gmail. If you click on it though nothing happens- on my Dream it went back into the facebook app's sync settings.
I also agree with the other points people have brought up on no comments on pics etc. The app will eventually be updated for the Galaxy but until then we just have to live with crap. I decompiled the app back in the day and wanted to modify it a little bit but never got around to actually doing it. If I was to modify the Official Android app, would this violate copyrights? Is it based under GNU licensing? I have seen "Colored" versions of the Official app in the market and wondered if they were violating terms by selling a black version of the exact same app? Anyone care to shed some light?

Sorry to go off topic but BOOMER

I just tested this on my Captivate running Cog 2.2B7 with no issues. I can see all the profile pics from FB in my contact list. When I open the FB app I can "like" wall posts and comment on pictures.

So youre telling me you see this: (pictures are in order according to my post on how to get there)
http://wtfokc.com/sef****/0.pnghttp://wtfokc.com/sef****/2.pnghttp://wtfokc.com/sef****/3.png
This is what happens on my Cog2.2 B7. I reinstalled fresh, get the first sign in, then I get "Finish". If you hit your back button you then get the Sync options. This function however doesnt work for me and hasnt on any of the Rom's Ive tried so far on teh captivate. I have read a lot on it and it appears to be a problem on all the Galaxy devices. If yours is working, I'd like to know how?
Only thing I can think is you have your SNS settings setup? Those are the ones in Account/Sync options at the Top -> Facebook, Myspace, Twitter. If so, they will auto sync pictures and junk for you- however it loses links very often- or did for me in previous versions of cog. I would get wall posts and pics in my contacts.. then next day I'd only get twitter, if I got any at all. Also my contacts would lose thier pictures and wouldnt let me re-add or associate them again. I would try over and over to reconnect the contacts to FB and couldnt unless I totally removed the account and reset it. This hap'd multiple time for me. It was rather craptastic syncing and aggravating..so I stopped using the built in SNS accounts all together and just use the official apps now. Only downfall is Facebook's sync doesnt work, twitter's however does.

Noticed changes in DL30

I don’t see a thread like this so I would like to start one
I have noticed a ton of changes in the stock DL30 build and there are still some i probably haven’t ran into yet. I think it would be fun to see what changes people have noticed. . I know a lot of these are in the original leak thread but that thread is too saturated with questions and issues people are having.
I would kind of like to keep it clean so I would like to see lists of changes only and not a ton of questions.
I will start off with a few things I have noticed so far. I have left out some of the obvious things that comes with froyo but feel free to add them if you wish
-Facebook syncs contacts automatically. No need to get friends and then check the ones you want from Facebook
-You can now manually join contacts. Maybe you could do this before?
-You can now use custom ringtones for contacts that aren’t local on the phone
-You can use media files for ringtones
-Can now use multiple exchange accounts
-Can now use out of office for exchange accounts
-Can use pin unlock even though it doesn’t work because it says you need a symbol
-New theme which I actually like.
-Has new e-mail and text counts on the Touch wiz icons
-Can use media or voice tones for alarm
-The sliding thingy when you are typing, makes it much easier to correct spelling mistakes
-Can change fonts
-Media hub added
-Includes Samsung keyboard which I prefer over the others now
-Dock now works!

Only thing I don't like is that you have to enable background data in order to do anything related to data. Never had to do that before.

Anyone got yahoo email setup on the new DL30? I tried to read email (HTML based) from like amazon and other spam I usually get and now it say message too long, cant not display.
Anyone getting that too?

Pinch to view home screens.
Email count on the home screen is awesome....
jv

Few things I noticed so far:
For exchange accounts it lets you choose seperate peak and off peak sync times which is cool.
The notifications has an auto-rotation on/off button along with your wifi, bt etc. But it doesn't really work with your homescreens unless you install laungher pro or something.
Signal strength has definitely increased.
Also, after I got DL30, I was asked to update camera firmware, and that added a couple of minor changes to camera.

Also forgot to mention that while in Car or Desk cradle the home screen now is landscape. Also when you get calls when on either the call screen is landscape!!! can you say "Awesome"!!!!
jv

And I am sure everyone is dying to know this, they replaced blockbuster with media hub.

Couple of things, keep in mind I was rooted running a custom ROM previously and now have LP running:
1. I like the changes to gmail (I was used to 2.2 gmail from my droid, took me a sec to figure where the send button moved to)
2. For whatever reason, after flashing and restoring apps with Titanium, I was debinged, however, that applies to voice search and all functions of the car dock aside from basic search. Hence, none of those functions work (voice search, navigation, maps. Not a deal breaker..just an observation.
3. The battery icon seems likes it's not even tied to the actual charge amount. Again..no big deal, I use simi clock and I check my battery there.
4. Gallery renders FAST..
5. Market still on old version...hasn't updated yet.
Haven't had a chance to really check any flash websites but will get around to it.

Issue with back button from contacts
Has anyone else had the back button stop working when in contacts?
It worked fine when I first got done with the update, then sometime after sync of facebook it stopped working. Not sure if that was the cause but something made it stop.

Be sure to open up the camera app. New firmware there.

I also noticed some of the bloat apps I had to remove when I first got my phone are gone. CityID immediately comes to mind (which I thought was the worst thing ever!), but I also noticed the Kindle app is missing and someone already mentioned Blockbuster. I thought they were more, but my memory is escaping me now.
The stock music player is also different, but this is my first Android device and thus first experience with 2.2, so this might just be a froyo thing. When I'm playing music and turn the screen off, when I turn it back on to the lock screen, there's a piece of CD hanging from the top of the screen. This can be pulled down to control the music. I never noticed this before, but I also may have never used the music player with the puzzle lock screen. Anyway, it's a cool feature that I dig. If I change to the AOSP lock screen (which I like way more than the puzzle lock), will this feature still be present?

I found a workaround for the Exchange pin issue.
If you setup a PIN before you setup your Exchange account from settings-> location & security-> screen unlock, it will work. You'll still see the message about device security needing to be setup at first but it will start syncing and not ask again.
Hope this helps!

Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
This was the main thing that bugged me on this rom and i was able to get around it. If you have the security policies already pushed you can go into Device administrator and remove the one for your exchange account, then go change your PIN, after a while your e-mail account will tell you that you need to enable the security policy again.
Thanks again!

Glad this worked for you. As an Exchange Administrator and user, this is one of the best features of Froyo!!! No more full keyboard to enter PIN.

How can you tell if its the new market? What changed? Also, tried some web sites for flash but doesnt want to play. I'll have to try with a different browser.

Yup, CityID, Blockbuster, Kindle, the demos for Need for Speed and Tetris and a few others.
I'm wondering if this was an early version of 2.2, before they had a chance to add all that crap in. Would be nice if Verizon listened to their customers and actually choose to leave that stuff out in 2.2.

you have to go to the market and download adobe flash player 10.1
i have noticed SIGNIFICANT battery/signal strength increase.. I was barely able to get 16 hours out of my battery before and now mines been on for 14 hours and its still at 60 percent.. my time without a signal was at like 30% on DL09 or DJ05 and now its at 4% without a signal. much more memory available.. could be because im using super clean tho..

Updates in the 2.3.4 leaked Update (Updated with more info)

UPDATE FYI: As far as I can tell from what I am hearing, this update is the same as the one in SOAK right now. I do not know if this is true, but the version numbers add up. Once the update goes live, we will see what happens.
I figured I would put this little change guide up for some of those who are on the fence about updating. So far I have updated and couldn't be happier. I will continue to update this when I find a new change or feel like going into more detail on some of these items.
Changes in 2.3.4
- Revamped UI: New MotoBlur, Different Color Scheme, New Icons
- New Apps: Rich Location, New Tasks App, Music Store, Help Center, Mobile HotSpot
- Updated Apps: Gallery App, Camera App, Camcorder App, Email App, Task Manager, Text Messaging App, Music App, Calendar App
- Profiles option: Choose between Everyday, Work, and Weekend
- New Settings: Media Audio Effects, SD Card Notifications, In-Pocket Detection, Unknown Sources and others
Motoblur -
- UI: The update implements the New Motoblur that has been seen on a few other phones. Included in this UI update is the ability to use multiple profiles. The Menu Dock has changed along with some locations of settings and menus.
We Also have some new Icons for several programs such as the Internet Brower. The Transition screens and the lock screen effect has also changed. When you turn off the screen now, it acts like the Gingerbread animation (CM7). The apps drawer also has sorting features now via a drop down menu.
Update: New feature added to the Notification Bar. You can now remove individual notifications from the list without affecting the rest of the notifications.
New Apps -
- Rich Locations: A new app similar to Google Maps that gives you local places, couples, and even local singles (match.com). You can even view local singles profiles.
- New Tasks App: Included is a tasks app that is rather quick and easy to use. Gives the option to send notifications to the task bar, and persistant reminders. Several different options for priority. No sync to google tasks though.
- Music Store: Well this one is rather obvious and if you don’t know how to use an app store or music store, please return your phone and purchase a dumb phone.
- Help Center: Guided Tours, Tips and tricks, User guide and FAQS.
- Mobile Hotspot: I have not tested this one, but from the menu options you are able to manage the hotspot information and the actual devices allowed to connect by typing in their mac addresses.
Updated Apps -
- Gallery App: Now shows Facebook photos, Camera Roll, My Library, Online Photos from Facebook. New Layout.
- Camera App: Changed the buttons to match the rest of MotoBlur
- Camcorder App: The HD video can now record more than 30 minutes at a time (using the full size of the storage medium), extra click to turn on the LED lights.
- Email, Calendar, and Text Messenger: Just UI improvements
- Task Manager: Seems to have small improvements, but basically the same as before with just a UI revamp
- Music App: Similar Changes as the Camera App. However there is now an option that allows Moto to identify your music and send “anon” info about your music preferences to Moto.
Multiple Profiles-
- Profiles: You now have three profiles to choose from (work, Everyday, and Weekends). As far as I can tell the same ringtones, silent settings, and what not apply to all three profiles and can not be individually set for each profile. It looks as if the Home Screens are the only things that change with the profile (widgets, background, app shortcuts).
The widgets in multiple profiles along with any live wall paper may contribute to battery drain similar to using multiple launcher. I have not tested this as I need my phone and do not want to waste battery testing it when I am still using it. If anyone wants to give it a go and post their results, please do so.
New Settings-
- Media Audio Settings: Multiple settings that include bass boost. May have been on the Froyo version but I have never seen them.
- SD Card Notifications: You can finally turn off the damned sound notification when your SD card is added or removed and when you boot the phone.
- In-Pocket Detection: It locks the phone when you put it in your pocket.
- Unknown Sources Checkbox: Yup it’s finally here and you can now check it and install the amazon app store without having to root your phone.
- Windows Media Sync: Allows you to choose where to sync your media from your PC.
- Secure Network Notification: You can now be notified when a secure network is available
- Peer to Peer (Ad-Hoc) Channel: Choose a channel to setup a Adhoc network.
- Text Message Reply: Gives the option to turn off the Send a text message to a phone caller.
- Contacts Settings: Allows you to change which contacts are visable. Rather nice if you ask me
Updates:
- SD Card Data Encryption: Finally a feature we all wanted!
- Device Encryption: No more police officers looking at your phone...at least in some districts.
- Blue tooth Bypass: Allows you to bypass your bluetooth device and use the voice commands on the phone vs. the bluetooth.
- Advanced IPSec VPN: Not entirely certain if it works or not. We all know it didn't before, so if anyone can test it and let me know, that would be great.

I cant find it on the market to read about it.

For the most part, rich locations is an rss feed app mixed with a gps mapping system that gives you local information such as restaurants, coffee shops, local singles ads, and coupons from various websites such as yelp, match.com and so on.
Sort of like places on google maps but with a twist. I doubt I will use it often around town, but it would come in handy when I was on vacation and what not.

Guys, just to be sure, does this work with the Bell atrix, or is it only at&t?

I better find a gallery replacement.

As far as I know this is for the At&T version only.

Actually I rather like the new gallery. Seems to be fairly stable for a stock gallery app.

would like to add that this includes the "new" version of the Forest Live wallpaper, complete with blue Gingerbread theme to it and if you tap on a blank space, a pop-up will appear with the current location and temperature! Tap TWICE to go directly to AccuWeather to see the full forecast! someone must have read my mind because that was exactly what I knew was missing from the original one that came with the Atrix in 2.2....

I don't want facebook photos. I want contact image sync and nothing else from the gimmick motoblur is.

You can turn off the facebook photos in the gallery settings. Just fyi

I am enjoying my update for what it's worth.

New Blur!
I have to say, I kind of liked Motoblur's functionality in Froyo, but it was just so damn slow... The new Motoblur (or whatever they want to call it now) is finally usable, and looks very nice
Some parts seem a bit slower now (e.g., the integrated webpart in Pulse), but still very smooth.
I don't regret updating - finally a Moto Android worth having!

it's awesome.

I am really liking the new screen off animation.

Anyone's Timer section of the "Alarm & Timer" app not working?

Still has the same crappy selection of ring and notification tones.
