I've tried a few and my favourite is Twicca.
Night clean looking app, has a widget, does notifications (now you can choose the LED colour ) and can be set to default for twitter links, like when you click on a twitter update in timescape.

twicca is pretty sweet. i think i'm going to be using this for now on.

[Ticker][Mod] Ticker Fixes! :D Twitter, others???

I just wanted to share with you guys a little something else i just figured out
Basically, all i have to say is, I am awesome lol..
I relinked the twitter app to your twitter notifications, so that when you get a new twitter notification you can click on it and it will open the app right up!
(It was linked to twidroid, which is now shut down )
I can also change the action of the weather icon... Any suggestions people?
Here is the Twitter Fix package:
CWM2: http://www.mediafire.com/?py31x9p5052q5dk
CWM3: http://www.mediafire.com/?0fizt0tyfmoiamd
It flashes the services.jar file to fix the ticker notifications, and it flashes TickertapeHistory.apk to fix the actual app
Just Hit thanks

Found some other things out!

Any chance we could get Google+
Integration instead of MySpace?

Well, that would be a little out of my reach.. Maybe if Samsung opens up third party support for the ticker, then maybe someone could do that
But, i can change the visual voice mail icon in the missed notification screen to a google voice icon, then have it open it up when clicked?

you should upload this .zip for everyone

a button to open up google reader!

Thank you circa!
And I am going to upload a zip soon, with services.jar and tickertapehistory.apk in it xD I relinked twitter to both the ticker and the ticker app itself
added downloads... can someone make sure the packages work please?

Personally, I like twicca more than the twitter app

well, then i can have it open that instead > mwahaha.. lol
Do you want a really brief rundown on what to do, so that you can do it yourself? Because i know you like this stuff, haha

Lol I would love that. Don't know what I'll be able to get to today though. I'll be driving a tractor all day

Hi. First of all, thanks to everyone on xda for... well, everything. I've been referencing this forum a lot tonight while learning how to root and flash my Continuum which seems to be long forgotten by either Samsung or Verizon.
This is probably the topic that most interests me though, as two of the apps I use the most on my phone are "incompatible" with the ticker (since they aren't one of the few apps deemed worthy of the ticker when it was created and then not officially updated).
Like circa881, I use twicca. I'm in no way knowledgeable on modding Android (or anything for that matter), so I don't know how to modify your files to do this myself.
The other app I want to bring up is Trillian. I've had lots of problems with the built-in IM app and have been using Trillian for quite a while. Is there any way that Trillian's notifications can be displayed on the ticker?

This is a question, and possibly an FYI. Is this update compatible with the EC03 ROM put out by pastorbennett? I attempted to apply this twitter fix and after rebooting I got stuck in the Samsung logo loop. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Peace,
Ray

It doesn't work with Froyo. It was made for eclair

Sweet, thanks a lot!

Hey Blazer, I know your pretty busy but, I was curious if you've had any luck with the EC07 fix for this? I'm puzzled why this feature is interchangeable with any facebook app but not twitter. Is it a filename issue or something?
Peace,
Ray

I found an alternative to the dialer, look at ex dialer on the "play" market (I really hate this new name, I wish Google go back to Android Market) and apply the ICS theme.
It looks and works great

[APP] Facebook 1.9 update

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.

[4.4.x] Working HTC Blinkfeed

Instructions for installing HTC Blinkfeed on Samsung Galaxy s
S4:
1. Download Htc_BlinkFeed_v8.zip
2. Flash it in Recovery
3. Have fun!
For weather widvet on Feed Page, set the Feed Page as Home page and go in settings/accounts and create account. Then go and enable location and it should work.
P. S. After creating weather acc. sync it.
Ok, so now here is a little guide for the users who don't have enough system space.
I am using CM11, and I think I had like 10 mb free on system(With Full-RR GApps) . What have I done? I went into system/apps and I deleted all Google apps(like Gmail, Maps, etc...DO NOT DELETE GOOGLE SERVICES OR GOOGLE PLAY). After that I went in Play Store and I reinstalled all apps that I deleted + Swiftkey. Now go back in system/apps and delete latinIME.apk( I think), it's Google Keyboard(I am not a fan of it). I deleted also some CM apps like Apollo, Terminal Emulator, Whisper Push, Dsp Manager(because I use PlayTube and it won't work with PlayTube) CM File Manager, CM Account... And I had like 100 free mb in system. 
Known issues:
1. Facebook feed
2. Weather app won't work(on clicking on it)
3. Some graphical glitches
*******Update: V8 *******
New flashble zip Htc_BlinkFeed_v8
this is weather and twitter included.
hsp (service pack) permission probrem is cleared and you don't have to remove /system/priv-app anymore
To make Weather appear on Feed page, you need:
1. Set Feed Page as Home page
2. Go into Settings/accounts and create a HTC weather account(sync it)
3. Go to location settings and turn it on
4. Now, weather should appear on Feed page
*******Downloads:*******
Htc_BlinkFeed_v8:
http://www.mediafire.com/?hu9mskraorhro3i
Its a hit and miss for twitter. For me it doesn't work but other have reported to get twitter feed to show, just not open it up. Its safe to flash V8 over V7
!!! IMPORTANT!!! BlinkFeed port is under development. Some features like Facebook feed won't work. Also, there is a little problem with the widgets. Changing density should solve the problem.
Please post some ScreenShots, I can't post because of an error.
