Tweetdeck out of beta...

Tweetdeck is out of beta and Tweetdeck 1.0 is available in the market and installs on the x10 and perfoms quite well..... (actually just installed it)
Here is the link to the blog post form TD
Make sure you increase the polling time in settings, the default time is set to 2 min.... or its a huge battery sucker i guess....

I haven't seen any issue (battery drain) with the 3 min. timeline update but I'm only using it for twitter though. But so far I'm loving it before TD I was using Twicca.

Thanks for the info. Read of the battery drain in the comments section of the TD blog, so assumed it as a battery drainer. Gonna reduce my polling time as well,

What is the advantage over twicca/seismic/touiteur?

Have facebook and twitter through tweetdeck updating every 3 mins. I can't see any battery drain or anything out of the normal battery wise

Me neither, best thing it is free and without adds. Works very well on my phone without battery drain.
Before I tried this I used tweetcaster. I like the way you can set up that app to your likings, but with tweetdeck I like the way the pics are shown.
For the moment I will use this one...

Yeah I like the way it shows pics as well no need for a plug in like twicca only thing missing that I noticed is twitter longer but not really a big deal something they can add in later.

Yep this is one of the best among there and after some continuous usage I can confirm that there is no heavy battery drainage which is a big PLUS for TD....

thank you for letting us know. this is nice.

one slight thing: for twitter the nice widgets are only usable from 2.1 or higher...so we have to wait for using the widgets.

vs twidroyd?

Damn... just tested and uninstalled.
This is an ugly UI.
Toitueur looks better and has enough options even in free version.

Market apps not working with GB

I didn't see a thread for this. If anybody is interested then add to this list. These are apps that I have found that won't install on that GB rom's.
Weatherbug elite
Yellowbook
Sent from this here Evo!

I don't know about the YB app but Weatherbug elite works just fine on my CM7 RC4 which is a GB rom.

It doesn't even show up in the market for me nor does yellowbook. Running EVOZone CM Nightly #37.

since more than 2 years nothing was posted I'd like to use this thread for finding apps that aren't working on GB for Lt18i (SE Arc S)

I understand your concern.
I just want members specially jader to choose the right path for future development.
I wont be posting on this issue on that thread anymore though.
We can't have all the newest of apps in GB. That's true. But, we also need to understand that our devices don't have to capability to run those apps without bugs.
I am willing to compromise on the newest features if the apps that we use are reliable and bugfree.
It's better to have a solid app that can do 2 things reliably, rather than the latest app that can do 3 things unreliably or with bugs.

That's fine. But, it would be better if you also share the alternatives for them. Like chrome have mozilla, opera, maxathon etc as better alternatives.
Greenify effect can be replicated in a better way by using rom toolbox and lucky patcher.
Also, I would like to mention here that ' adreno booster' tweak only works on GB and nothing else. And it does improve the performance and speed.

So, have you installed jin2gb rom?
Sent from my MK16i

yeah, on j2gb now, instead of Apex I got me Golauncher, Greenify: not entirely sure I need something similar, so didn't look for an alternative yet.

ok, due to several mistakes on my side, had to reflash it twice, now let's see how the batt. holds up, other that (if a there's a difference in batt. usage) I don't see (except for booting, but since I only do that once in 2 days, not affected by it) any speed increase. Testing right now, but I don't see the LED working not even with "test" in lightmanager, willl report on that and batt. later
oow yeah, using Atomic 8 now

any idea what could be causing the LED malfunction? Quite annoying cause I use it alot

Have you gotten over testing jin2gb ROM as well?
One thing I would like you to do is to flash the Xperia S launcher that is provided as addon in Atomic GB7 in GIN2GB ROM. I am using it right now and it have a lot of features with a very small memory footprint compared to other similar launcher!

Do you mean copying home.apk from atomic7 to j2gb?

android battery bar

ok, a few years back, my windows phone had this really cool app, it was a bar across the top that was 1 or 2 pixels tall, multi colored that displayed the amount of battery left. someone told me it was in a rom, but I can't find it to save my life. maybe one of you has seen it or knows which mod, or anything about it, because I would LOVE to have that stupid little bar back.
Thanks

sorry if im mistaken, i dont think this feature is on cyanogen mod. It is however on most of the 'MIUI' roms, i think it is standard on there.

Is this possible to have standalone? This would complete my device.

Help me choose a rom

Number 1 for me is stability. I am looking for a Rom that fully works or for the most part everything is working. Full camera functionality/flash, Sending and receiving SMS & MMS, GPS (I use navigation often), making and receiving calls, all the basic stuff that work on stock. Stability is my main objective. Second would be battery life & fluidity. Everything else like customization options is a nice bonus
I expected the Jelly Bean OTA to be better than it was. I did a factory reset when I got the update to make sure my phone started fresh. Even formatted internal and external SD card. I just expected a better experience. They took away some things I loved and added some things I don't like. But the main thing that bothers me is the occasional stutter/lag. And I notice battery life is worst on the JB OTA. I thought JB was suppose to be refined, it's not totally buttery smooth like they promote it to be. At least not on the stock Verizon variant of the GS3.
I am looking at "The Executioner" or the CleanRom/CleanRom Lite Edition. Any opinions or thoughts by people who have ran both would be appreciated!! I realize roms, as most things in life are a personal preference but I'd still like to get some opinions.

Another silly thread. We already have a few of these in the same section. Post there.

This post doesn't really give me an opinion on The Executioner Rom vs. CleanRom/CleanRom Lite Edition? I tried doing a search but nothing came up on the comparison of the two. Can you send me a link to that particular thread? I'd appreciate it bro. I'm only asking the people who have tried those two roms or either CleanRom or Executioner.

Im loving the executioner rom!! I was using synergy but im loving this one! Awesome and super stable... Also im using imoseyon kernal and am undervolting it. Great battery life and speed is awesome

Thanks for the feed back!! Is there any common bugs people been experiencing with it? All the basic functions are working well? Again I appreciate the reply, I'm brand new to the S3 section of the site. This makes me excited to see what the rom is about. I take it the rom has no stutters or occasional lag like the stock touchwiz.

I use the CM10 Nightlies. I update about once a week or so. And I have had very minimal issues. When I did run into any, I just updated the next day and the issue was fixed. And you can report bugs to the developers to help expedite the fixes as they come up. Not to mention no more touchwiz, *Gag*

I heard CM roms were great for customization but may not be most stable? I was thinking of trying it anyways. I like the AOSP or pure Google look and feel. I gotta think about it I don't know if I'll have the time to flash an update every day for a bug fix lol. Thank you for the input

People spend hours putting together guides, doing reviews, etc. It's frustrating sometimes to see how little effort some people put into utilizing the forum.
It works both ways. These boards would be alot less cluttered if people searched. We're all guilty of it, I'm not preaching. Just know where he coming from.
For example there's a great guide in the android development forum that compares many different roms.

Please see attached images from my Huawei 5Mp camera (resized for upload to XDA) ... firstly stock Camera app v2.0.002, then secondly Lenovo SnapIt v3.5.6. Both images are 2592x1944px but original stock Camera photo is 850Kb whereas original SnapIt photo is 2.18Mb. For all the difference I can (not) see, I think I'll just stick with the stock Camera app (its a lot less confusing

Look at the center building and you can see the different. Snapit Look better.

They look the same to me too.
