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.

I've been using Touiteur recently for its beautiful UI. What is everyone else using? I only ask because I noticed Chad Ochocinco used Twidroid, so I wanted to hear some other opinions.

Touiteur is my choice just for Twitter.. I have been messing around with TweetDeck. TweetDeck is still pretty rough and and need some more features, but it is great to use to post to multiple social networking sites.
Twicca is the best, it's fast & most twitter features.
Twicca. 10 char.
What twitter client do I use?
NONE
... sorry guys. I'm bored :-\
I use touiteur as my twitter app and have twicca installed for image previews
I use Twidroyd its pretty awesome and you can set it to what ever color you like and view followers requests

I'm using twicca. It's great, the only thing it lacks is multiple accounts and to RT protected followers tweets. I'm also testing out the tweetdeck beta.
I use Touiteur and it is by far the best I have used on Android. Ubertwitte for BlackBerry is the bestbtwitter app out there, but Touiteur is very close. I tried out every Twitter app for 3 days before deciding and Touiteur is just phenomenal!!!
Lately, TweetDeck. Yea it lacks some features but it's still pretty smooth for a beta and they're updating it frequently. Other than that, Twitter for Android has been my main Twitter app.
touiteur <3
Touiteur is the best, IMO. Got some friends to switch from the default HTC or motoblur app.

I really liked peep for the full page widget. Since using launcher pro, I've not found any twitter app with a 4x4 full page widget. Any suggestions.
Btw...i am using pure messenger widget. Its ok, just doesn't look very nice and it doesn't sync consistently like you set it to do.

With LauncherPro Plus you can resize widgets. Try stretching one out and see how it looks.
Touiteur. By far my fave.
touiteur at first and probably going back
tweetcaster the last few weeks
I love TweetCaster, though to be honest - I haven't tried too many other Twitter apps than Peep and TweetDeck.
I still haven't found a way to make any of the twitter apps (besides Peep in Sense) full page 4X4 widget size. I wish that the dev of Launcher Pro would create one for Launcher Pro Plus widgets.
i second tweetcaster, I have used a few and have found it to be my fav
I was wondering if any of the apps listed give a dropdown or some type of listing to easily add screen names after you put "@"?
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.

So what is you guys favorite twitter app? Tweetdeck, twittter android, or seesmic? I use tweetdeck because I can log in to my facebook account as well but I just download it seesmic and I like the better options for links and pics, what you guys favorite?

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.

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.

you can always download the android native app and use that widget.. but we already know about the seni and 3rd party widgets,, grrr
Add friendstream widget to your home screen. Then press and hold it and move to "edit" area of the dock. From there you can choose which networks are synced in that particular widget. I have 2 friendstream widgets, 1 for twitter and 1 for facebook.... did not like them all mashed up in one widget.
Hello,
In the directory, when I go to my contacts "Facebook", I have my contacts.
But when I go in my contacts "Facebook for HTC Sense", I have nothing.
As I had sync problems and I deleted my data, is the explanation?
My facebook account is set.
If I run a sync, I have an answer for Facebook for HTC Sense is not currently available
Have you the same thing?
