Looking for suggestions on a good contacts widget similar to the one in sense. Everything I've found so far won't display their facebook linked images.
Any suggestions?

If you get launcher pro plus, it has a facebook widget just like sense.
I was going for a contacts widget more than a facebook widget. Besides I'm wanting to stick to go launcher. I like it.

I use this one called scrollable contactwidget beta (spelled just like that), it's awesome and you can chafe the alpha to zero so it's clear.
To bad I'm not at my 8, I would share a screen shot

I just installed this widget and I like it, but it won't sync the persons contact image, because the contacts get their images from their facebook sync'd image.

It should work fine if you link the account back to a Gmail contact. I've tried all the other contact widgets and even with this flaw it's better then the other bloated ones. IMO.

All of my contacts are gmail contacts. All have linked facebook accts with pics. They have photos in my contact list, but they don't show in the widget.

Looking for a contacts widget similar to People in Sense UI. Of course, understand we won't get scrollable widget due to lack of Rosie, but just a static 3x3 or greater widget would be awesome.
Found "Artis Contacts Widget" in the market which looks to be a good start but it's not customizable, doesn't support Facebook contact pics and seems to be low res.
Any thoughts, or devs up to the challenge?

Plume with the widget

tweetcaster for me
I actually use Seesmic linked to Launcherpro Friends Widget. I can manage FB and Twitter in one feed, and can call up Seesmic for advanced Twitter work directly from the widget.
Yeah seismic features are nice but tweetdeck way to show new tweets or post is nice you see the yellow like to the right side and plume idk what I'm missing but to many menu to touch and pics takes too long to load

I came from teh Blackberry and loved UberTwitter. Seesmic is my current app as it drives me the least crazy, however, UberTwitter, is working on an Android App and I can't wait for it to come out.
+1 more for Plume
I really like Tweetdeck.

You, sir, have just made my day. UberTwitter is hands down the best twitter client on any device. Just about the only reason I miss the BB.
+1 for tweetdeck. full featured, loads pics fast and in high res, fluid. I havent tried any others besides tweetcaster because tweetdeck works so good
Plume. Hands down.

Haven't seen much written about this, so thought I'd throw it out there - for those using Sense, is your Friend Stream painfully slow when it comes to loading comments, posting comments, loading people's pages, etc? I love it for the widget and how easy it is to see twitter/FB posts on the home screen, but as for actually using it interactively (pretty much anything beyond just reading posts), it takes FOREVER and drives me crazy.
I'm still running stock, so maybe it runs better on rooted Friend Stream? Idk, I'm just perplexed by why it's so slow since most everything else is blazing fast. Every time I try to comment on a post through Friend Stream it makes me want to just use the FB app or the mobile site. Anyone else?
I use LauncherPro Plus and the "Friends" Widget, which works great.
Occasionally, if there is any issue with it not refreshing (which is not very often, but does happen) I just "restart" launcher pro and then trash and replace the widget. Always fixes it.
Maybe if your using Sense just trash the widget, force stop Sense, re-add widget?

Thanks for the reply, but the problem isn't that the widget doesn't refresh, it's that when I click on a post and then it takes me to the friend stream app, the APP is really slow. Takes like a minute or two for things to process. The widget has been updating regularly.
I'm on rooted stock rom and I feel your pain. Friendstream is horribly slow when you want to do anything other than read posts in the widget. I always end up using the FB app. Sucks, but I like the FS widget.

You just described exactly where I am with the whole thing. Love the widget, but have to use the FB app for interactive stuff. It's not a data thing b/c the dedicated FB app always refreshes and loads like *that* - but the friend stream app doing anything is...like...*thaaaaaaaattttt* (i.e. really slow). In a perfect world the widget and app would be one and the same, but oh well.
I'm having the same problem with mine friend stream app. The widget is fine but the app itself is dreadful!
Lol well at least it's nice to know that I'm not the only one. I guess that's why I started the thread, to make sure I didn't have a bad apple...well that and the hope that maybe someone would have a 'fix.' Oh well, I guess we just really have to treat is as ONLY a widget.
Does anyone have issues with Facebook no longer being an option to sync on the mytouch.
I have a black mytouch and I only have the option to sync Flickr and Twitter to my friendstream and I know for a fact that you could have Facebook because it worked on my white mytouch

You should definitely be able to stream FB through Friendstream. I only use it for FB and Twitter. Not sure why it wouldn't recognize it.
Yeah I factory reset and everything and still no go.

I'm running a stripped down ROM that has had sense removed. My question is, I really likes the HTC Peep widget. A couple other ones I've tried only show one latest tweet. I liked how Peep showed a few and was easily scrollable.
Suggestions?
I use the official app, much better functionality then HTC peep. It only shows one at a time, but you can "scroll" left and right through the tweets in the widget. Less of a battery drain than peep also.

look at the common twitter apps in the market. I know one of them had a scrollable widget. I can't remember which one but I think it was in the info.
Plume has a scrollable widget.

there you go, I knew one of them did. Just doesn't work with Sense. I like htc peep, but if you have it enabled, your tweets also end up in your friendstream which I want to be strictly facebook.
I downloaded Plume and so far I really like it. The ROM I'm running is "Senseless" so my ADW EX handles it just fine.
just a new update for FACEBOOK 1.9
soooo smooth. go grab ur update!
Just got 2 new shortcuts, a bit of UI changes and the speed got improved a bit.
I'm not to big for the extra icons added but luckily I'm using another app for camera that isn't labeled camera like the one included with the update. Noticed the speed boost too

ICS contact photos sync?
Now when linking FB to contacts, I now get contacts photos syncing correctly on the Galaxy S2 running stock Samsung ICS 4.03. Before the 1.9 update it wouldn't display a picture (though it did work on Gingerbread). That was the only thing bugging me since upgrading to ICS. I've heard that on the stock Galaxy S2 roms Samsung had removed the ability to sync to FB, just like on the Galaxy Nexus. So i'm not sure whether its due to FB finally using the new API's or whether it just works on Samsung ICS firmware. Anyone know?
Liking the speed boost and the new notification settings.
And the $1million dollar question for today is, naturally:
How to get rid of those extra shortcuts, cam&msgr???
To hide the new icons, use a launcher that will let you hide them. LauncherPro has this feature, as does 360 Launcher. Not sure who else.
Now where's my $1 million? Haha.
Facebook 1.9 is okay... there are some UI tweaks around the app, nothing major though. Commenting on an image seemed a little more straightforward, and the comment box looked different.
If you want an ICS-themed Facebook app, look up Fast Facebook. It was just featured on Lifehacker yesterday, but I got it a week or two ago here on XDA. Should be able to find it in this very (sub)forum. I don't care for the UI but it is faster.
Heh, AWD Launcher here.... any other tweak??
TI backup cant see them.
Oh this really annoyed the hell out of me.if I wanted to install Facebook messenger I would have I I wanted to use a camera that links directly to facw book and crashes every time I open it I'd install a separate app.
Facebook needs to split the apps out and let us install the ones we want.
I'm hopefully not the only one but I've just uninstalled the app and bookmarked their mobile site in my browser and installed someone else app.
I'll have to use something else to sync photos
mez, you can use haxsync to sync photos if you are in ICS.
BTW does this version sync your facebook contacts (with their pictures) correctly in ICS?
Thanks. Haxsync has been mentioned before. I think it'll be one of the first few apps that I buy. I don't want to put my credit card on Google checkout just like I haven't on Xbox or iTunes or my wii yet I can still buy paid content of all of them
Android needs gift cards.
I'm using tweetdeck for fb and contact photos seems to sync with my contacts from Gmail anyway. They don't update but its a start.
I can live without the fb app for now.
