[Q] Running HTC Blinkfeed port - a few questions - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all. I've tried looking for answers to these on the forum so hopefully I won't get blasted if they happen to be hidden away somewhere.
I'm running the HTC Blinkfeed port (launcher) on my phone. It's actually a One Plus One but seeing as it's running stock Android (more or less) I figured it was okay to post here (plus this is where I found the newly closed big thread on the port).
I'm coming from an M8 so I have it next to me to make comparisons with.
- While the weather widget shows up on top of the feed page, it doesn't seem to launch anything when I press it. It's also displaying in celcius instead of farenheit. Can those be fixed on my part or are they still being worked on?
- Are the phone and messaging apps that come on that M8 available yet?
- When the next iteration of the port comes out, what do I do exactly? Do I have to remove the one I currently have or can the files be installed on top of it? Will I lose my Blinkfeed settings when I do it?
Thank you!

thanks,
Ron1n are you still working on this?
There are a few people after this and the link in your sig is down. Any chance of
putting a new link up?
Cheers for all your work on this app I look forward to using it.

sry, there's big confusion with that app now - which one is that new one?
will be newer one?
it seems to be useful thing imo...
I have not been updating it recently but I may have a newer one than my last post. I will update the link shortly, my domain is being renewed today and should be up by tomorrow. If you have any suggestions for updates, let me know.

Can your notification be set to be repeating so you keep getting reminded of the missed call? Reason I ask is I use TodayAgenda and the entries do not appear to show up right away.
Cheers For the Link!
Cheers for the link Ron1n.
I have had some problems with your version (callcalendar2). I am getting multiple entries for for phone calls and also some of the phone calls are saying that they have lasted for 12-15 hours.
I have now reverted back to the original callcalendar.
If there is anything you would like me do (testing or get logs or something) then I would be happy to help.
Hopefully speak soon.
Rochey
This is a great application.
On my Touch it seems to work fine. I would have a couple of additional options if possible:
1. I would like to be able to hide the 1st screen that pops up on boot. This boot screen is really irritating as sometimes it lingers for ages as other processes execute in the background. If I could avoid it altogether with a registry entry...
2. I would like missed calls to be added to the calendar with a configurable forward time. So if I miss the call it will pop up in 5 minutes and remind me that X called. Another registry option would be great...
Apart from this it seems to work really well.
Kind Regards,
Sam.
Is there a way to donate?
Any news R0N1N?
Hi ya R0N1N, any news on the newer version of your app?
I look forward to it.
Rochey
it will be nice if you could give the option to add or not the call/number to calandar..
instead of have it automaticly add to the calandar.
by the end of the day my calendar look like I have meeting till the nest year.

Has anyone found the solution for this problem?
I went back to the original version... it works great
Does anyone have a download link that works for the latest version of CallCalendar2?
I definitely second that. I love this app and din't even know there was a version 2 until I saw this thread.
this is a great program every since i've found out bout it i've installed it hope the creator doesn't mind me postin the cab back up
Hmmm - I still get calendar appointments that are 1 hour out
Are any of the dev guys who wrote this code around anymore?
EDIT: It seems like it's caused by the TimeZone updates MS released lately... Looks to do with the application not looking at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TimeZones.
Thanks for the repost. Much appreciations.
Hi all,
I've rebuilt the original CallCalendar app by KingFetty in VS2008 (with hopefully a bug fix or two) and using .Net 3.5 framework.
See how you go with this
What makes this version different from the one posted a few posts up? Any changes?
Is it possible to make a version that would run as a process or service? Available versions are visible in task managers(under applications), also in QuickMenu, and I hate that...

[Q] Vanilla Android and Facebook??

Hi Guys
Long time reader of these forums and have used the guides provided here numerous times. This is my first time post and it's a bit of a noob question but after looking around the forums, I haven't been able to provide a concrete answer.
I remember reading about Facebook integration with Android 2.0+ but could someone clarify how vanilla android interacts with Facebook? I am a huge fan of HTC Sense being able to pull down my friends info into my contacts. Also is there a way by which I can back up all my apps and contacts so that when I've flashed a new ROM I can just restore the data?
Again I apologise for the basic questions, but I couldn't seem to find any solid answer through my searches and I'm itching to put 2.2 on my legend.
Much appreciated
Linking Facebook and Google-Contacts works in 2.* as far as the names are the same. Ihaven't found a function like in sense where you can directly point to a specific FB-contact and link it to a google or phone-contact as you want. Regarding your second question, your contacts will be saved @google if you use a googleaccount, for backing up your settings and programs go with TitaniumBackup but your handset has to be rooted for this.
Thanks ^_^ I realised what I'd asked about the contacts only after I'd posted it >.< but all the same thanks for the info
Just btw, which fb app are you using (this goes to everyone) ?
Not a single one I tried so far was good enough.
I have the official fb for android but it doesn't display message whole threads when they are too long and when i click on a notification, it opens up in the browser.
Then i tried fb browser, but that one can't open youtube vids. It tries to open them itself instead of opening them in the yt app, but I'm unable to click on the play button.
the rest is either a copy of these 2, or comletely useless.
Sent from my Legend
I just stick with the default android one...the lesser of the evils out there. But I agree with you in that the apps aren't as good as they could be. Who knows, maybe Facebook will announce some android related news at their mobile event today
I'm using the official one. There is an update, just installed it today. There is now finaly places and when clicking in the notification, no more webbrowser with touch.facebook.com is opened.

[Q] Widget Help

Hi. I'm having very big issues with my new myTouch 4G.
This whole downloading of widgets worked for me couple of times since I bought this phone. I was able to download some widget for my gMail, called "Gmail 2.3", "Facebook", "Stopwatch", and many other ones. The way that I would download them was: I would long press on any empty portion of any screen/tab or even go a totally empty tab, after I would get a little menu with choice of out of four (4) items -"Shortcuts", "Widgets", "Folder", and "Wallpaper" and all four (4) items have a little arrow down - button (to select it). Since I would want to install some widget on my screen, I tap arrow-down next to "Widgets". It brings me up all available widgets that are already preinstalled on my device (T-Mo or HTC puts them there), if you don't find a widget which you need, out of preinstalled ones (and most likely you won't because there are 30 of them there TOPS), you can press on "Get more widgets" (in the list along other 4 choices) and it allows you to do a word search/title for a widget that you want. BUT for me - it doesn't open up that search box, anymore. Instead it says in white letters "Unable to download widgets. Tap to try again.” Now when I call T-Mo they don't understand what is it that I want to do. They tell me, how you can ONLY use widgets that are pre-installed on the device, and it never allows you to download any more. I had this issue once before, and I got scared so I exchanged my device. I just bought it back then; only 6 days had passed, so I was still able to return/exchange it. I was within the return/exchange period back then, but not now. And the problem is back
Do I need to install some update somehow? Or what do I do?? If YES for the update, then how??
Thank You All! For your help!
Mine does it too... AFAIK HTC is having some speedbumps with this phones launch, but they should be ironed out relatively soon...
Plus we just got full root... one of the devs will prolly come up with some sort of fix (assuming its a problem on the handset vs their server)

So you say "Wait, and it'll be resolved"?
I just bought my MT4G today, and I'm experiencing the same problem. I have not been able to download any widgets yet, so I'm looking forward to this working for me.

[Q] New Widget Download

New Widget Download
Hi. I'm having very big issues with my new myTouch 4G.
This whole downloading of widgets worked for me couple of times since I bought this phone. I was able to download some widgets for my GMail, called "Gmail 2.3", also "Facebook Android", "Stopwatch 2.3", and many other ones (games as well).

Do I need to install some update somehow? Or what do I do?? If YES for the update, then how do I install one?? This has to be some issue on T-Mo's side, because this is another phone already.
Thank You All! For your help!

Thank You for moving it.
ANYBODY with any ideas?? Or maybe this works or not for somebody else??
Anybody else BUT me has the same problem?? Can anybody add any widget they would like?????? Come On People. Am I alone with this problem???
That 'download more widgets' message is an HTC add-in. From what I've experienced, they usually create a portal to allow users to download new widgets for their HTC Sense skinned phones. However, it appears that this portal is either not created yet, or is not functioning.
You need to use the market and search for 'widgets'. Then they'll show up in your widget list.
Market is for widgets and apps, 'download more widgets' is for HTC sense widgets.

Thank You. If I understood correct - you are telling me to search "Market Place" for................ ??? What again??
I want to be able to search for more available widgets. It worked for me when the phone was first released. I bought it 2 hours after it hit my local T-Mo stores. Facebook notified me.
The down-arrow on my Evo still works. brings up a lot more HTC widgets, so we know their portal is working!

New Calendar with TW update

I got the TW update this morning, and with it came a new calendar app. I don't like it. I think the stock HC 3.1 calendar app was much nicer. Any way to get it back?
I saw a lot of people getting hyped for this update, but honestly I'm not sure I like it much at all. The replacement for the taskbar popup, where you can see your wifi network, settings button, etc, isn't all that great. It's too big, and I can't click on the wifi network name anymore which would jump me right to the wifi part of settings. Annoying.
I'd be happy with getting the old calendar app back, and short of that would be interested in rolling back to the previous version if possible.
I totally agree. I hate the new calendar app and desperately want to switch back to the old version. I haven't figured out how to do it yet.
Also, the color change of the bottom menu bar from black to gray is really bothering me for some reason.
That's what you guys get I saw all this bull**** from reviews on youtube and I decided not to update
I like the new calendar app just fine. To each his own I guess.
I agree. The skinned apps stink overall. The samsung apps social hub and photo editor are pretty good. I might just flash back.
The stock google calendar is hw accelerated. You can tell Samsung did not use hw acceleration for their calendar. Its not as smooth when you scroll around. Disappointing.
been searching whole xda and found 2 links to the stock honeycomb.apk from the NOOK section. but these are for honeycomb 3.0, didnt try it yet.
any dev who has the stock calendar.apk for honeycomb 3.1?
seems more users are having problems with getting the stock calender back while having touchwiz UX.
Bumpity bump bump bump bumpy bump....
Isn't there a way to download this apk from Google directly? Dump from a Xoom rom?
I've even *****ed at @SamsungSupport for the poor Calendar implementation. The TW "improvement" is about as worthless as keeping your calendar on a napkin.
