In all seriousness the best Apps I couldn't live without would be SwiftKey x, handset sms, dolphin hd browser, quadrant(lol), xda, rocketdial, all my emulators and lastly beautiful widgets although it's not totally necessary if you run eclipse since its got gs2 Apps like accuweather which look better imo.

hockeybpr25 - First off, you may want to try ChompSMS instead of Handcent. They are both good, though. In the TW Messaging app, turn off "Auto-retrieve" and "Notifications".

blarrick - +1 on SwiftKey X! Been using SwiftKey ever since they started the beta a couple of years ago. [email protected] near telepathic, it's scary!
Regarding the Dolphin HD Browser, I used to <3 it a lot, but I've moved on now to the Miren Browser. Miren is free, and it seems like their UI is much better thought-out. I seem to get stuff done easier in it. You should give it a shot!

Hey, rand4ll - I was curious about Weather Bug Elite. Does it support a scrollable widget for multiple cities? I'm really looking like crazy for a weather app that supports a scrollable widget. The only ones I know about are wrapped in various manufacturer's UI (like HTC Sense and MotoBlur).
Now, on to my apps:
Agenda Widget, Awesome Drop, Barnacle Wifi Tether, Beautiful Widgets, Bloat Freezer, Calendar Snooze, ChompSMS, EasyTether, FlightTrack Pro, Happy Hours, KeePassDroid (KeePass is on everything I own with a CPU), Miren Browser, Mr. Number Caller ID, MyBackup Pro, Note Everything Pro, Our Groceries, PhoneMyPC, Plume, Pure Messenger, RealCalc, ROM Manager, Root Explorer, Remote Notifier, Sipdroid, Shazam, StayAwake, SwiftKey X, TapaTalk Pro, Team Black Hat, TripIt, WinAmp, and uTorrent Remote.
Whew.
Cheers!

You could also just do this
1) Open Handcent
2) Hit the menu button
3) Select Settings
4) Application settings
5) Default Messaging Application.
6) All(SMS & MMS)
Both work though

Is anybody having problems with Facebook force-closing on gummycharged 2.0?

I reinstalled the Facebook application so many times still force closing the first time it opens. And it's the only application that doesn't work.

+1, for such a widely used social networking site, you would think the app would be a bit more intuitive. They def need a major overhaul..
Is it the same for all platforms or just us?

Just for Android. Have you ever used the iPhone app? It's pretty smooth. Dunno why us Android users got stuck with the ****ty coders, or why they can't just port the iPhone version.

Android Pro Widget is the best social network widget on the market. It's better then Plume. You can use apw for twitter, facebook and more. It also have different themes that you will like. Try it out.

Haha cant help but derail since ive never seen you around. But im about to try the app you suggested. Even though 12 posts in 3.5+ years isnt impressive. Maybe you speak from experience.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I tried out all of the suggestions and decided to stick with Plume. Even though it doesn't show you the tweet entry box until you click on the widget's icon, it works out to be the same number of clicks (or I guess I should say "taps") as when you want to type in the text area of widgets that do show you the entry box. So, I like Plume's the best and, of the ones that I tried, I liked Android Pro Widget the least.
Lol. That been my nickname sense I was lil. I thought I was the only Kwes. I like your work so I'm not mad we have the same name.

Twicca is barebones, and customizable. Runs really smooth. Allows you to only install the add-ons you actually use.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I use http://goo.gl/d4gHQ
i've tried a few, but to me, tweetcaster is by far the best and easiest to use. Tons of features.
Tweetdark is pretty nice. Simple nice UI and works well.
I use the official app. It's cleaner than everything else. Plume is pretty good also, but I had an issue where the text box wasn't visible when my keyboard and predictive words popped up. The official app appropriately shifts everything up, so nothing disappears.
I use Plume but I like inline previews pics and Twitlonger
tweetdeck is better for me, it just keep it simple and has twitlonger and more
Can't figure out for the life of me how to view replies to a tweet in Twicca, does it not have this function? You can see what I mean by going to Twitter.com on a desktop PC and clicking any tweet, a nested area opens up showing replies.
Tweetcaster is my favorite because I can customize it.

Official Facebook app won't post a status/pic, rarely posts my comments.
Fast Pro has too many bugs
Flipster is half ass, doesn't show everything, SLOW
Friendcaster Pro wants to show me everyones games more than statuses and such.
Everyone uses something different, what's a quality Facebook app youd recommend??

Official Facebook app is fine on a modern device. It is quite big (~20MB) and uses a big chunk of RAM (~45-50MB) so on older devices, it can be quite painful to run. Simply go to facebook.com in your mobile browser, you get the same interface.
Flipster is the best of the alternatives, but the problem with the alternatives is that 1) if you post from it (and this is anything but the website or the official app), Facebook doesn't share your status with all your friends. It's posted to your Timeline, but almost nobody will see it. And 2) it won't show you all your friends' statuses and photos. Their game activity will always show up, though, as well as anything sponsored.
Most likely the fastest is TweetDeck, or maybe TweakDeck (the former, only... tweaked). The interface looks like straight up ass, but it's fast, even on crappy phones. Tested and verified on Samsung Acclaim (800MHz ARMv6, 160MB RAM, ~20MB app install space, Froyo).
Tried "Scope"? It's an all-in-one social app.

I'm on the lookout for a new launcher, maybe.
I'd really like one that shows notification badges (not sure if Xperia does) for all apps (especially K9). Apex only shows notifications for Gmail accounts, and even then I can't seem to get them working recently.
I know that the Tesla Unread plugin shows the notifications on Widget Locker, but does it also work with Nova?
I'm not interested in going back to Go Launcher at all, and I'm not looking at the launchers that are $15.
The ability to customize icons would be nice, but won't affect my decision if something better is out there.
Help me out. I've not used any launchers except Go and Apex for quite some time, so I'm not even sure what's out there and good.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I'm on Nova using Tesla unread notification. I can confirm that it works on Gmail, Samsung emails, messenger, gTalk & goSMS.
I used goLauncher before but it lagged on Embryo 6.1 rom. Was lucky to purchase Nova during Play Store 25¢ sale.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I missed that sale unfortunately.
I'm going back and forth between Nova Prime and Holo HD, unless someone else has another question.

My vote is for nova. Great customization options, you have the option of beta version or stable, and yes, k9 mail is available for the count badges.
Pretty sure that sealed the deal for me, thanks!
One off-topic question, though...
What theme are you using in those screenshots? I like it a lot.
Subzero... You can find it here on xda

I confirm Tesla unread notification with Nova (prime) works perfectly with K-9.
Have fun and enjoy.
I use the Xperia Z Launcher, and I love it. It is pretty amazing, except that when at the home screen, pressing the menu button doesn't let you go to settings. You have to find it in your apps.
That is one little annoyance, but other than that it is a great and customizable launcher.
