I was curious if it was possible to run Friend Stream on MIUI, for example. I have tried installing the apk, but it just says "Application not installed" Any ideas? Or am I just out of luck
I'm pretty sure the FriendStream app relies on the Sense UI libs. If you're looking for a replacement I'd recommend TweetDeck. It's free and will manage Facebook, Twitter, 4Square & Buzz accounts onto a single feed.
Thanks, this app is ok. Better than the Facebook widget, lol

theres a million apps in the market that claim to be the best, and obviously theres the one most devs include in their ROM (the official one, right?) but the widget only displays the latest status update. im curious if there is an app that will display more than just one, similar too friendstream?
tia!
The one app that I've found to be a pretty decent replacement to Friendstream is the Vodafone Update app, you can connect to FB, Twitter, & Myspace, do your updates, view messages and all that, only draw back is there's no widget, which would abolutely rock if it did have one, but that's my 2 cents as far as apps go
im looking to connect multiple social networks, im looking for a widget that displays more than one update at a time
thanks tho
m.getjar.com search for facebook ..download the app that logs you into the facebook mobile site..........better than the ones in the market IMO..

does that have a widget? thats what im most interested in.
THe HTC desire being my first HTC phone I had never used the sense UI or any of its features previously, so had only had experience with the official facebook for android app from the Market.
Ive just set up facebook for htc sense with the friend stream etc and I'm rather impressed by it. Just wondered what your thoughts are on both these apps? here are mine.
Facebook for Android:
Pros
Has the chat function
Official app from facebook so gets updated (eventually) with new features, although still way behind the iphone app apparently.
Cons
Doesnt allow tagging of photos
Doesnt allow you to remove/delete a post/comment or that you have made or un-like something.
Facebook for HTC Sense
Pros
Allows tagging of photos
Allows multiple upload of photos to albums etc..
Integrates extreemely well with the rest of HTC sense UI, and the phone features such as the people app, gallery etc..
Cons
(most of these are things that I am not 100% sure on, so they are more like a question than a statement)
Not sure if the app gets updated when new features come out on facebook, or being as the app is shipped with the phone is it pretty much that what you get now is what it will always be, and no changes, or do HTC release updates for the sense features?
I dont think the check in feature is available with this?
I also dont think this app allowed you to delete a comment/post, althought I havent tried it yet, if it is possible, how is it done? Same with un-like...
What are you guys thoughts on both of these apps? Which do you prefer out of the 2?
I've been facing this same issue for past 24 hours. I needed batch upload for photos. I assumed, oficial fb app should be able to do that. Well, horse hockey. It's not even able to move photos from album to album or delete album. Before I discovered that Fb for sense is able to do that, I uploaded it via email. All in all, fb app from fb lackes many features, some even included in web version for phones (touch).
well you can always choose between the two, you dint have to just use one
persinally i think sense is amazing! (wish i had it on my sgs2)
the android fb is mediocore, so i use it mainly fir chat.
so i use the facebook mobile site mainly! it has the most info on news feed etc.
I personally still use the m.facebook.com website for facebook interaction on the phone. I found the facebook application a little too limited and clunky.
Although didn't know that it could enable FB chat, until I read the posts above...so thanks.
This way I don't get constant Facebook notifications, but get the ones that I have choosen to get through my FB settings as alerts through new emails. I use both Yahoo and Google mail applications.
I have still enabled Facebook for Sense, so that I still get the status updates, birthdays etc which then add value to my users from Google contacts...
take a look at FriendCaster
Does anyone use the social hub on their note? I've been persevering as I like the concept, but I'm finding it a bit limited in functionality. e.g. no option to select multiple items.
Also it always opens on the feeds page, which I hardly ever use.
Is anyone else using it?
Yep I use it and love it. Have 5 email accounts, facebook, twitter and linkedin all in one place. Superb app
I am using it also it us great.
I didn't get your point about not able to select multi
I try to use it ! I think it's difficult to use in with de note. I also want to have e-mail first and not the fields page...
the scrolling on it is really slow. Anyone else get that?
no more using it...and set it to not boot at startup. laggy for me too
Only use is to check social updates from the Contacts
Is there a social Hub widget as I cant find it anywhere?
I uninstalled threw titanium backup

How is it?
I'd like to give this a test drive, anyone able to post up the latest social hub apk?
Seems it's not in the market now, and I'd frozen it when it first launched as I don't use facebook and other (anti)social stuff, but it might be worthwhile now I'm sync'ing work email so that I can use one app to handle work and personal email. I like how the default mail app does pinch-zoom which gmail lacks, so if social hub will do that and handle gmail the same way I'd be happy. After freezing it and then updating firmware the apk's seem to have gone so cannot re-install

Social Hub will use the stock email app for emails, so you can pretty set up your account there.
I'm not using it anymore since it consumes a lot of memory. Also, occasionally the account for Windows Live would suddenly stop working with no way to retrieve mails. Furthermore the extra things that it can do for emails can be configured in the stock email without it. Example, to use Hotmail, configure the server to m.hotmail.com as Exchange account. For Yahoo, configure it as imap. You get push service for both.
For social apps, since I'm using Facebook official app, I don't see why I need to set it up using Social Hub. Well the thing I hate the most is that I can't choose the default tab when I start it up.

thanks for the info, I was hoping to just have one app in the quick launch area for exchange/gmail/IM but maybe sticking with stock apps is a better bet then. Might look at moving the gmail accounts into this and dropping the gmail app instead.

I've been using social hub anytime now, it works fine. putting all accounts in one, easy to access emails and messaging the only thing is that, it eats more memory (allocating more memory to social hub0 with out actively using it.
frozen for me too

same here
Since Social Hub isn't working very well (sadly, I like the idea) I'm searching for something to replace it. This would be a good email app and a good "social app" for Twitter and Facebook (no widget needed). Any suggestions?
If you don't need the widget Twitter and Facebook official apps is the best.
Pure messanger widget is a good widget for twitter, maybe also facebook but i'm not sure.

Tweetdeck uses the same principle...
I'm looking for a messenger app that would sync all of my messaging apps like txt, Facebook messenger, Talk and things like that into one convenient app like the music app on sense 4.0 if there's anything like that. I have tried googling and looking in the play store but no luck.
