Tweetdeck out of beta...

Tweetdeck is out of beta and Tweetdeck 1.0 is available in the market and installs on the x10 and perfoms quite well..... (actually just installed it)
Here is the link to the blog post form TD
Make sure you increase the polling time in settings, the default time is set to 2 min.... or its a huge battery sucker i guess....

I haven't seen any issue (battery drain) with the 3 min. timeline update but I'm only using it for twitter though. But so far I'm loving it before TD I was using Twicca.

Thanks for the info. Read of the battery drain in the comments section of the TD blog, so assumed it as a battery drainer. Gonna reduce my polling time as well,

What is the advantage over twicca/seismic/touiteur?

Have facebook and twitter through tweetdeck updating every 3 mins. I can't see any battery drain or anything out of the normal battery wise

Me neither, best thing it is free and without adds. Works very well on my phone without battery drain.
Before I tried this I used tweetcaster. I like the way you can set up that app to your likings, but with tweetdeck I like the way the pics are shown.
For the moment I will use this one...

Yeah I like the way it shows pics as well no need for a plug in like twicca only thing missing that I noticed is twitter longer but not really a big deal something they can add in later.

Yep this is one of the best among there and after some continuous usage I can confirm that there is no heavy battery drainage which is a big PLUS for TD....

thank you for letting us know. this is nice.

one slight thing: for twitter the nice widgets are only usable from 2.1 or higher...so we have to wait for using the widgets.

vs twidroyd?

Damn... just tested and uninstalled.
This is an ugly UI.
Toitueur looks better and has enough options even in free version.

Tweeps add me up on twitter @uRstruly74.

Xperia Play Essential Apps

what are the essential apps that should be installed in the xplay in general?

Root explorer
Fpse
Google earth
Applanet
Appbrain
Flash 10.2
Adobe air
This list could go on all day lol
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk

I would recommend the whole assortment of gaming console emulators. I have seen them running gorgeously and... well, let's face it, the phone was made for them.
If you have root, Root Explorer and Titanium Backup are quite the asset, and if CWM comes to the phone, ROM Manager will be an important tool as well. 3G Watchdog if you have a cap on your data connection. My other recommendations are more sectorial: Cool Reader for ebooks, Dropbox, Firefox and GPS Aids.

I dont use applanet, but i know a lot do. Android drm is evolvolving to an extent where any dev worth his wack can protect an app from pirates anyway, so the majority off apps on applanet wont work anyway
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk

thanks for the great feedbacks. this is my first android phone and i'm really excited in tinkering with it. i would agree on the emulators currently have almost all of them but lack sd space. i'm having problems running the tiger mame emu though

SPB Shell

Been playing around with different launchers, can't stand TouchWiz, and tried out SPB Shell... Works flawlessly on the Infuse, fast and smooth as butter - love it! Lots of eye candy and some pretty cool widgets too. Everything looks great on that big screen!
It's a little pricey, but IMO worth it!

ADW
Ive been using adw for the atrix and now for the infuse, dont know that it gets any better than that. The infuse runs the animations and transitions perfectly!

I'm using Launcher Pro.. Love it.. The latest version is pretty sweet..

im not a fan of spb. but the others are good. there is also go launcher and zeam launcher.
i personally dont mind cheaze wiz, and things like kies and a few widgets dont work without it running.. i prefer to use gtg465x's launchers, he made some for the captivate and i9000 with a 5-icon dock if you dont like the 4icon dock.

Running Sony arc from cont.5.5 on captivate ..speed the phone up more and more available ram..plus its cleaner looking.
sent from Infuse but miss my captivate on cont. 5.5.... One day this can be as good...

Can you share the sony arc launcher apk? I'm a huge fan of that launcher from continuum 5.5 also. Thanks
Found it. Thnx

Spb is like a corvette, not very practical imo. Something You want to show off with.
ADW is my daily driver...

Are the others a lot better than Go Launcher EX?
No one uses Go Launcher EX? I'm fairly new to Android phones (had/have an Archos 5IT Android which is still running their version of donut, but with market and some other hacks), so I just picked the first free launcher I found. So far I really like it. The themes are OK and the customization seems as good as any and it's pretty full featured. Everything they release for it is free, though some 3rd party add-on are paid. I don't know anything about ADW or LPro, but I'm an app addict so I'm sure I'll tinker around with those sometime soon.
What are the best or your favorite features of ADW or Launcher Pro?
Thanks!

Go Launcher EX is very good, almost too good... with their many free widgets. I wonder if they are spying on me.

I've been using Spb as a daily driver for months and it's great for me. Yeah I do show off with it at times but it is a good launcher. Launcher pro was my daily driver for almost a year.

Just out of curiosity... How is SPB Shell and battery life? doesn't drain it more than it used to before spb shell, drains more, or drains less?

With Spb shell 3d I didn't notice much difference with battery life compared to others I've used but I would notice that under heavy loads of use that it would become laggy or restart itself. That gets annoying after a while because it takes a while like 2 minutes sometimes to start. Its a nice launcher but I've put it aside for now and I'm using the Sony Ericsson launcher now which is a lot quicker.

ADW is my favorite. Quick and customized to my liking.

i bought spb but didn't like the fact i had to look at someone else's flicker photos so now i'm on laucher ex. it allows for 3d rotation and i've got a page with my photos on widget.

[Q] [petition] plants vs zombies

I checked on the apps and themes forum here in xda and I found that a lot of devices can run the download version of PVZ.... but in internet there's a video of a X10 running the PVZ on froyo...
do u have the apk to install on my x10?
do I need extra installation 4 running the apk??
I've tried with 2 versions and I can't run them.... they only get stopped and I need to reboot my phone....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MM1R-jJgno
video of x10 running pvz

This game requires at least 200MB of free RAM and as I far as I know, it can only be run flawlessly on high-end devices suchs GSII and Atrix and Sesantion.

Play "leave devil alone" same game with a different visual style and few extra's.
Made by the same people.

LDA woow
yeah I already win that game twice.... and tthe version that I installed didn't have final animation or something just kill the knight with the 9999 and that's all u return to the same position.... so bad....
I liked that game a lot... Leave devil alone has magical powers but I know... if a x10 out there can... why ours can't to???
and we are talkingg about the official version so... if somebody knows HOW TO INSTALL AND RUN LIKE THE VIDEO... WELLL TELL US PLS
SALU2

I can play PvsZ with my x10 but you need to try a lot to start :/

Um I'm on gingerbread and mine worked perfectly the first time I tried
Sent from my x10 on gingerbread

I am on Froyo MIUI and it runs great.
It sometimes lags a little but only a few seconds after I launch it.
Other than that, flawless!

I'm having no problems running it on my x10, I'm using Wolf's Froyo with custom kernel and everything was smooth from the first try.

Where can I find plantz vs zombies?

best launcher ever for skyrocket

called DXHOME and its super fast smooth.
throw an ics theme on and your good to go
EDIT: please dont say it looks like an iphone u can use it and with an ics theme (I use an htc sense theme) it does not look like an iphone. its worth it is smoother than spb shell, go launcher, and all the other popular launcher (i have tried almost all of them and all of the ones u guys have mentioned) and has cool 3d effects and is overall a better user experience

Way too many permissions....
Free App....
Looks Chinese....
Do not know the vendor....
iPhone looking icons???
Would not touch this....
Mine is SPB Shell 3D
Yes it is a shell replacement so asks for more permissions than I am usually comfortable giving but.....
You pay for it... to me it means Quality and Support
Have great Widgets bundled with the shell .... get what you pay for
Trusted vendor has been around for years

If I wanted an iPhone, I would have went out and wasted my money on an iPhone. No thanks.

thats why u put an ics theme on it!

theres like 1000 reviews when an app has that many i usually trust it, and it is overwhelmingly 5 stars. i know the dev is chinese but its all in english and not a big deal. u guys should try it before you flame it

Sorry guys, adw launcher ftw. Hands and feets down.

Dx home is the smoothest launcher yet. If you dont want the iphone look...just go to themes and choose border and then transparent and choose regular system icons. You dont need to download an ics theme. Go launcher sucks hard...never liked it. Qq launcher...adw ex...dx home and zeam are easily the best choices.

I'm sticking with Launcher Pro, I just tried Launcher Ex and it doesn't do it for me. I haven't had problems with Pro and I unlocked it to get the Facebook and Twitter widgets. It's smooth, I mainly only use widgets on my screens, only one icon, and use the rotating dock (yes, I know Ex has it also), and it just flat out rocks for me.

Watched the video for it, pretty wild but is too much for me honestly. I like it simple.
Also, the guy holding the phone in the video is obviously a robot because he barely moves his left hand. And ive seen terminator one too many times to know not to trust robots.

I tried it out. Actually a very cool launcher after changing the theme. Very smooth and fast.
