Works on Liquid 2.1, thanks man .
Could you post some other Ally stuff, like the weather widget, just to try.
EDIT: The widget is really cool, people should try this.
EDIT 2: There's one thing not working: Settings of the app. I don't think it's a bug, there's probably another Ally apk which contains the Socialite app settings.

Deleted by me.

Any thing else we can get from it...

I have access to a LG Droid Ally and have pulled their social networking application, Socialite from /system. It works on my other phones, so it will probably work for you.

yep, its to big for my hero, i think becuase the resolution is different on the ally.

is it possible to change the resolution for use on the hero?
nevermind .mak is working on a workable version for HVGA devices

To those who have tried this app on an appropriate sized device (480x800, 480x854, etc), does the facebook tab work as it should? Does it update with your facebook profile picture at the top of the widget, and when you click said picture, does the "Update your profile" box pop up?
This information will be VERY helpful to me, thank you!

The widget doesnt like landscape on my droid.

widget seems to fit perfectly on my nexus

Can someone post a few screenies of some of the cool widgets that work on other devices? That messaging app looked kinda cool.

Mh, I keep getting "unable to connect to the SNG server" when trying to login

I basically use this app only for the amazing widget that it comes with. It's great. The app itself force closes on my droid like crazy, so I don't use that.

are you able to pull that awesome weather widget?
thanks

Can't someone talented extract DivX support from this? ... and port it to the Nexus One?

any ideas ??
Thanks !

Is it me or do I alway have to update Twitter / Face manually? I doesn't seem to update the feeds automatically. And since there is no way to get to the settings screen I can't see if there is an auto-sync feature.
Anyone else has this issue?

Looking for an app similar to Friend Stream

OK, i have looked around, pretty sure there isnt one, but could be wrong... here is what i am looking for:
If i could find a "friend stream" (from HTC Sense) type app that would work without the sense launcher i would be in heaven!
Requirements:
have a running stream of facebook and twitter updates in one place
ability to post to FB and twitter at one time (obviously would be the same message)
Would like to easily retweet/repost/reply
Would REALLY like a widget
must NOT be a battery drainer
would like it to look nice, but this is on the bottom of the list for a reason
Man.. really seems like this should be out there somewhere but i cannot find it.
As always, you help is much appreciated! TIA

Try Pure Messenger Widget

I would also like a alternative app because every time I open friend stream, It force closes on me EVERYTIME!!!

Pure Messenger is actually a lot better than Friend Stream. I'd use it instead even if I was running the Sense launcher.

Using what app?

So, here are my thoughts... Socialite is really cool... But not quite as solid at this point as what i would like but MAN its got HUGE potential.. I REALLY like it but it didnt seem to update and i really didnt like the fact that FB and Twitter were on 2 separate tabs... but other than that.. this is AWESOME (oh and it needs a dark theme but really no biggie)
i did reinstall the PureMessenger and although not as "cool" as Socialite, its solid, works great, and does what i need it to do! THANK FOR THE TIPS!!!

yes, using friendstream ;-)

on HTC? let's guess: friendstream? ;-)

There's also the Android Pro Widgets, which you can have a widget that does Twitter and Facebook at the same time. That's the one I use. Drop it full-sized on a page and drop the transparency to 0. I've done that with all of the widgets APW provides and I love how they look and operate.

+1 on Android Pro Widgets They have a solid widget pack and work better than Sense stock in some way and have added functions. I only have Facebook mapped and there I can see a small thumbnail of posted pics, links, etc see only my wall, post comments or post status updates on the fly.
Gonna play with the transparencies, thanks for the tip

Friendstream replacement for AOSP ROMs?

This is the only thing that I've been missing since moving from a Sense ROM/launcher.
Does a nice scrollable widget exist that's similar to the stock Friendstream one?
EDIT: I've tried out Socialite, but it seems to never sync properly and eventually force closes on the CyanogenMod nightly builds.

I miss it too.

Try Pure Messenger Widget.

EDIT: I was just too tired to realize what I was doing incorrectly. Trying to get a widget setup that looks decent.
All of the different variants of the Sense style widgets look really "off" for some reason. Looking further, it's definitely the pictures, as they trail a bit off the left side of the widget. (See pic)
I'm also not fond of the left/right arrows on the widget. I only set up FB, so I don't need non-working buttons.

Pure Messenger will make you forget Friend Stream every existed.

Use the scrollable version with ADW/LauncherPro. It is better than FriendStream.
Like so:

Nice setup TheBiles.
PureMessenger > friendstream with the ability to use skins, add email and sms along with twitter and FB to stream, ability to select preferred clients for clicked feed, and oodles of config settings in a nice scrollable UI with ADW or launcherPRO. Well worth a buck-fifty.

I wouldn't consider Pure messenger better than Friendstream myself.
It's nice... but sadly needs a few fixes in my opinion
1) Won't display 'mobile upload' picture notifications properly. It only shows 1 picture in the internal viewer with no way to go directly to the person's photo list.
2) Pictures display as filenames in the list view, rather than the actual thumbnail as sense does. (This might be considered user preference, but I'd prefer to see a picture rather than <randomwords>.jpg )
3) No support for built in HTC applications for Facebook nor Twitter (aka peep). While the internal viewer can be dismissed in favor of a real 'app', the selection is limited to bout 3-6 apps none of which are the built in parts of HTC's rom. (Of course if you're not using HTC roms then this isn't problem
Overall it's a great app, and the best out there I've seen, don't get me wrong.. but Friendstream still has the edge in actual functionality for basic use. Sure, No themes, lack of customization hurt, but when it comes down to using the product for what it's intended for (Keeping up with posts/photos from your friends) it has a few issues IMO.

Had a chance to play with Pure Messenger Widget a bit more today.
Overall it seems "ok" but lacking in some ways as well. You can't post directly from the widget, which is a huge strike against it. I want the widget so I don't have to clutter my homescreens with redundant apps.
Guess I accidentally went past my 24 hours so I am the proud owner, or some such thing.

I'm using the scrollable widget currently, and like I said, it's neat to watch updates, but it's a killer that I don't see an obvious way to post anything to FB/Twitter through the widget, instead I'm forced to use the app.
It just feels "clunky" for lack of a better term.
I will say that the widgets can be set up to look better, it just seems that some of the skins are definitely not ones any OCD person would want to use.

It's Launcher Pro. I'm using the Froyo wide dock (in settings) and just setting up normal apps and using the Launcher Pro icons for them.
I like how it looks with a nice black/white theme.

Erm. You just click that little star, and select "update status." You never have to open the official apps. You can also click that little arrow and select "open Facebook" so you don't ever need an icon on the screen in the first place.

Where did you get that toolbar at the bottom. It looks a lot like mine but with a few more icons. Is that a 4g between the wireless and sat?

That's Extended Controls. The second icon is the Froyo hotspot toggle, but it does have a 4G toggle option. I just don't have it on there because 4G doesn't work with CyanogenMod at the moment.

Well crap, it looks as though I'd always been fat-fingering the arrow and only saw the "open Facebook" link in there.
I recant my previous statements and accept that this is a damn fine alternative to Friendstream. (after a little getting used to)

The only issue that I have with Pure Messenger is this: When a FB contact posts something on someones' wall it doesn't show who the other person is, even if the other person is one of your contacts it doesn't show.

Got socialite running on newest cyanogen nightly. Its pretty nice really, I actually like it better than friend stream.

Motorola contact widget sucks

Every time I try to put the motorola contact widget on the screen it just stays as a blank contact. Any one else having this problem?

You'll probably need to be more specific. Are you on 2.1 or 2.2? Are you using the stock Moto Launcher, or a home replacement such as Launcher Pro or ADW?

Rooted 2.1 with stock Blur launcher only modified to have glowing borders.

Yeah here too... When I've tried to use it it says need to "Make the widget larger to add more tasks"...
Sent from my DROIDX cause it's got the GBs and the Wifis

Is it the widget that's crapping out? Or something else?

So what if you long press on it and drag the border to make it larger? I have it disabled, so can't check...

I had the same issue with the widgets. What compoundedthe issue was I started using ADW and lost the motorola widgets. I found a app called Bettercut that let me put direct dial or text right on the desktop with the contact picture. Works great and I can add direct text shortcuts which is something I use a lot. Best 2 bucks I spent

It just makes the blank blue contact picture larger.

Are you using custom launcher or Blur? It might not be playing nice with a custom one...

meshdub said:

I'm using Blur with colored png's. And Bettercut is basically the same thing as the shortcut widgets.

eh just saw you said that earlier in the thread, sorry..

I get the same problem when I try to use the moto contact widget while running ADW Launcher. When I revert to stock Blur, it works fine. Chances are the minor theming to BlurHome that you did, might make it think its not stock and therefore wont work? just a guess...

Flashing SBF and re-pushing my modified Blur makes the widgets work now. I don't know why they were crapping out on me...

You probably have the contact linked and its not pulling the pic. I had that problem with most of my contacts linked to fbook profile. The only way I could save a pic to the phone contact was to unlink the contact, add pic, then when I used in a widget it would have photo or not be blank.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Nope, none of my contacts are linked to Bookface. Only my Google account. And it would blank out every contact I tried to put on the screen. But like I said, the SBF flash fixed it. I don't know why that happened because I put my themed BlurHome back on the phone and the contact widgets are still working. Same thing was happening with the news widget too.

[Solved] Gallery3D = Piece of Crap. Alternative?

Found my solution. It's QuickPic. Unbelievably good, simple, and not overdone. It's fast and to the point. I recommend everyone install it.

Gallery3D is by far the most over-engineered photo app on the planet.
I absolutely HATE it.
~ Why does it take so long to "index" all my photos?
~ Why do I not have an option to disable all the retarded tilt/sliding animations?
~ Why can I not use it without it prompting me a million times to access my Picasa Web Albums (which I do NOT want to see)?
~ Why does it not remember my place when I go back to my homescreen?
The frustration I'm facing is coming from trying to place shortcuts on my Launcher Pro homescreen using custom icons. Gallery3D is the only registered handler to pick photos, and Its driving me nuts. The folder structure seems to randomly change order, the thumbnail cache of all the folders seems to be continuously rebuilt, there's just SO many things I hate about it.
I found the wonderful app called "JustPictures" but LauncherPro doesn't recognize it as a handler for images when selecting icons
Is there an alternative app I can use that will work with LauncherPro's custom icon support? I really need folder support, as a minimum, and that's honestly all I care about.

THanks guys, QuickPic is excellent, everything I needed and nothing I didn't want. Updated OP so others can know about it as well.

Cool man, glad it worked out for you. I've switched over to it as well. Much faster than G3D.
By the way, I want to say thanks to you LS for your fantastic work on this phone. Your dev skills are epic in comparison to mine, so I thank you for your hard work to make our phone "Hero-scale"

Be advised: if you delete the 3d gallery you will lose picture frame widgets. I also lost the video player. So, until I find a lighter weight video player im stuck with it gumming up my phone with its crappy slowness.
