Interesting Apps

If anyone comes across any interesting apps, let's share here xD
Couple apps I'd like to share is:
Sony panorama camera... Works pretty decently on our phone you need to install the sony propriety files first xD
Text notify.... Kinda replaces the purpose of the ticker.... :/ if you trade the continuum in for the fascinate, that app would be a god send.. Basically it makes toasts for your messages xD

Ubermusic, SwipePad, adbWireless, Bible, Brightness Level, Cloud Print, Opera mini, Gallery Excluder, eBuddy, Dropbox, FriendCaster (Facebook alternative), Hoccer, iTag, QRDroid, Root Explorer, Shazam, Selective Silence, Screen Filter, Screenshot it, Ringdroid, Twicca (Twitter alternative)
Yup, I think that's pretty much all the ones I use

Permissions denied is one of my favorites it took the ads out of angry birds! Something that adfree couldn't do...

I just kind of accidently discovered this but if any of you guys use the vuze bittorrent client on your computer it supports device playback on our phone through the allshare application
Soo allshare has a purpose for me now

The Amazon App Store is a great app to have. Why? Amazon features a paid app each day they let you download for free.
To get it, go to Amazon's website and download the .apk.

App to post Google+, Facebook, twitter at once

Hey guys, i am looking for an app to post Google+, Facebook, twitter at once.
I find it very odd that none of them do this. Do you know of one that does?
I am checking out tweetdeck but it supports Google buzz and not Google+. Is that one and the same?
Thanks for your help.

I don't think there's any the blast to Google+ yet, but I use "SocialBlast" which does what you want. One post sends to twitter, Facebook, linkedin, and a few others, just not Google+ yet. It even does pics!
I use the paid version to support the delevopers.

I'm in the same boat as you. I love TweetDeck, but posting to Google Buzz there does not show up in my Google+ stream. I've been looking for months now for an app to do this and I'm seriously considering writing one myself! I'll post back here if I do or if I find an app that works, please do the same!

Google recently released the code for 3rd party apps, so some should start popping up.
Shootin virus infected silver needles

Wow, that would be exactly what I'm looking for. No real need for twitter, but posting to Google+ as well as Facebook at the same time would be awesome.
Regards,
Becksman

I apologize for the necropost, but I was wondering if anyone has found an app like this yet. I've found a few that can post individually, but none that do all at once.
Anyone ambitious to tackle this challenge?

I don't believe the proper apis have been released to be able to post to Google + from am outside app. If I'm not mistaken

Nothing yet. I'm still using Socialblast, but nothing out there yet!

+1 I really want this I have been looking for a while.

Huston we got a problem xD
But HEY there is great coders out there So it might come. Maybe either the TweetDeck OR the HootSuite team is working on it right now

Hopefully we get one soon!

There's plent of apps out there...but none include Google+. There's still no public API. Google is gona miss the boat with Google+ if they don't allow 3rd party development quick.

Your best bet would be to use your app of choice for fb, g+, or twitter, and using that app in combination with http://ifttt.com you can simultaneously post to all 3 of those social networks (and then some) at the same time. i have mine set up now to post to facebook, then ifttt posts that update to twitter and g+ for me.

Sadly this report (hootsuite g+ support) is incorrect. Been using 3 widgets for about a year now.
Used to use TweetDeck and liked it, but it would always crash because the cache would get too large when only using it for posts and never to check actual feeds

looks like theres a hole in the market......anything new on this ?

it seems somehow that nobody is really interested in making G+ apps.

Yeah, it's an awful app...

If i don't like an app i just don't use it...that easy
+1 for friends caster

+2&3 for friend caster. My and my nerd gf approve
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-

With Friendcaster you can't send direct messages, I'm right?

yeah rite....and now im using the old one....like it or not its still ok

Facebook crap!

Why the heck facebook takes 100mb ram??

Because its coded very poorly. FB is like crack to most of its users, so they don't care it uses a ****-ton of resources, so FB has no reason to bother coding it efficiently. Like a ton of other apps too. As the phones get more powerful, the devs get sloppier since they don't have to optimize. Same with computers, or any electronic, so few users are going to notice it doesn't matter to lose the few who do over sloppy code when compared to the money and time it might take to write it efficiently.
It doesn't pay to pay attention to such things anymore, there are just way to many of the clueless around out-spending the discerning consumers at a break-neck pace (i.e. the success of the iPhone). Join the herd or be forever disappointed.

yeah u r right, good point! that background detection is pretty bothering though.

Worse still is that even their mobile website is so poorly done that it sucks ever so slightly less than the app. So the only way to use Facebook reliably is with a computer. And morons were surprised when the ipo tanked!
Now ask yourself, did I really just read that? Yes you did.

Is anyone using any third party Facebook as a replacement? Like faster book or whatever its called.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

Thinking about just using the browser instead of the app, it's so frickin bloated.

Try friendcaster
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2

Friendcaster is a really nice replacement, but it lacks permissions to show all the content, so often you get redirected to the browser. Facebook doesn't only create s crappy app, they also stop third party apps from making better ones :/

Dolphin Browser with the 'Desktop Browser' Addon and Full screen mode does a Facebook just fine. I find the mobile web version a bit more sufficient than the app. Justmy opinion...

A little convoluted, but if it gets the photos to load every time, worth it. That's really my major gripe with the app, after you look at a few photos, they stop loading. I have to back out, force close, and clear cache to get them back.

I am in the facebook developer programm ... I will take a look at it... I know that its really "crap" so some code modifications won't work better then another app... So there will be two options.. wait for a new one...or write a new one..

Facebook native for andriod

Perhaps most of you know this all ready. And honestly with Facebook you are the product cause your not a customer. However because I along with others have family on Facebook we are in a bind. Well Facebook went native and it finally works well with android. So for the others that have resisted being a user. Maybe its time to give them one more shot?

so far im very impressed with 2.0

The experience is definitely improved with the latest version.

Yup, much better.
Also, the argument that if you're not paying something "you're the product" is.... well I'll just say "dramatic." Yes you're being advertised to, and maybe your information is being used for advertising purposes, but.... most normal people don't give a crap, and it certainly doesn't hurt you.

It would be nice to actually be able to hold down on an image ave save !!

I couldn't agree with you more about it hurting anyone.
Its not dramatics' its a simple fact. And that's OK that they sell my info to make money so I can have a free social media outlet.
I Apologize if this thread seems derogatory to Facebook. They seem to had missed the mark with not taking care of its "product". A vast amount of android users became disheartened of the HTML code. I wrote emails to fb explained how it seemed they were ignoring the android user.
I digress... the point of this thread was to welcome back and perhaps persuade old users to "give them one more shot" I would have never thought I'd give fb 5stars for the app! all my cool friends are on Google + and my sheep ios family are on fb.
My cool friends are all you guys on XDA!

Thanks for pointing that out. Just noticed. Good news though. FB also released SDK files so I'm sure we will have some tweaks soon.
Sent from my One X using xda premium

It seems good only because the previous version sucked so hard.
We have low expectations for FB, and they finally exceeded them.

Lol. There was no better way to accessing FB than the application. Idk how you handled that if you didint bother with the app . I've dealt with that for years, but it is much better now! Not just better, but good in itself.

I usually just used the browser and the mobile site or the Friendcaster app. The mobile FB site looked almost the same as the old app and Friendcaster works really well on a tablet. I'll definitely check out the new update though. It has to be better than before.
