use HTML to open an app?

HI Folks,
been looking into this for a bit with no joy, so thought it's worth asking if anyone knows if its possible to use a html browser to open an app directly, please read the below and you will see what i am after, basically the idea is to use jakesankey's overlay to navigate m.facebook, but also have the option to use the bottom bar to act as a shortcut to album

It will give you access right back to your chat window at any time. The goal is to get rid of the m.facebook integration and make make it so each window will remain in the same position as it was when you switched to 'chat' and then switched back.. Anyhow, I dont mean to ramble. This is what where I am thus far for anyone with an interest. (simply extract the compressed folder to your computer and open fbook.html to get the idea).. obviously this will not be used to upload photos.
ive been playing with this, it works well with the new omnia build of opera that allows scroll in pan
know this might sound daft, but is there any way to use a html doc to open the Album.exe ?
one of the guys posted the following in the diamond section that allows htc album to upload pics directly to facebook

don't know if this will work with qvga, but worth a try
i like the idea and have been playing around with it to make it more usable for me, then thought about trying to include a link to the album in the html page, ive included my edit to give you an idea of what im thinking but the code is beyond me
many thanks for any help or advice
Chris

anyone have any ideas?

So, if I understand you right, what you want to do is open an application on your phone (a .exe file) when clicking a link in a webpage?
Because that does work perfectly fine (at least on my htc wing with WinMo 6 and PIE). All you need to do is make the link point to the application:
Code:
A link
The above example will open the Images&Videos application when clicking the link for example. Hope that's what you were after.

HTC Sense Stock app/widget?

Hi all,
When I was using Android 1.5, I used to use the HTC Stock app and widget a lot. But since moving to 2.1 a week ago, I have not yet been able to find a replacement I tried few apps from the market but nothing feels quite right. Why isn't the HTC Stock app in the 2.1 Sense roms anyway?
So does anyone know whether I can get the HTC Stock app and widget back? Perhaps from an APK.
Alternatively, can anyone recommend a widget from the Market (free or paid) that I can have lots of shares displayed at once?
Thanks.

The stock app is included in 2.1 as long as you're running a Sense rom. If it's not there the developer probably just removed it from the rom to save space. I can't help you out with the APK but it shouldn't be too hard to find on here.

Ah I see! I'll ask the developers. Thanks.

So, have you found it? I'd like to try it too, if you have.

Unfortunately not!
I've been googling up and down and searching on here, Modaco, Vaillain, etc, but still haven't found it.

A bit off topic of the original post...but the thread title works and I didn't think a whole new thread was necessary.
So here's my question;
Is anyone else experiencing problems with the HTC Sense Stocks application in that the 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, and 2Y graphs are not showing the correct data. Only the 1D and 5D charts work.
I'm not sure at what point this problem occurred...cause I know it use to work. Just curious whether it was something I did to my device (flashing a custom ROM), or whether others are seeing the same problem...in which case this would suggest there is something wrong with the servers from which the application downloads the charts from.

Yes, I'm seeing the same problem. I haven't done anything to my phone yet, so I doubt it's a problem with the phone...

If you tell me where the app is ill gladly upload it

Hi,
a few weeks ago, i changed from WinMo to Android. Now I am a proud owner of a galaxy...
Unfortunatly, the galaxy comes without sense. So I am missing the Stocks widget, too. The good thing on that app is that it uses yahoo! finance as data source. Yahoo! finance offers more markets than Google Finance does. Yahoo Finance has an app for Android. But if I am looking for it in the market, it's not available. But it's available on appbrain...
Here is the link: http://www.appbrain.com/app/yahoo-finance/com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.finance
And this is the link for Yahoo! Finance for Android: http://mobile.yahoo.com/finance/android
I would be glad, if someone get's this to work and could upload the *.apk

P.S.
Excuse my poor English

I also could not find Yahoo Finance in the market.
I managed to install Yahoo Fianance from the following link:
http://www.getjar.com/mobile/36281/yahoo!-finance-for-htc-hero/
However, when I opened the app, it just open up the browser linking to mobile yahoo finance site.
Not too sure how to get it working properly as an app.

hi.
get "market enabler", fake a provider in the u.s. and you'll find yahoo finance in the market.
as an alternative i can recommend "stock watcher". has a great ui and offers some widgets.
have fun!

Facebook app got no search...

Hey, I got HTC Pure which already as an standard facebook application but the problem is that I don`t have the option to search people...I mean I want it like a real computer where you can go to facebook and you get search bar located on your right and you could search people you may know, so that kinda suck on the application I don`t have that search thing but I see it on blackberry they do have the search option, I even tried to use the browser such as opera to go to facebook.com and thought it might be the exact same like on a computer but no..it doesnt work the way it should be for me and this time I do get search located on the right but when I searched someone and clicked on their profile it automaticly brings me to me own profile...how stupid that is huh?
Hope there is a good soul out there that got an solution for this..

log in to windows marketplace and download the lastest version of facebook

[Q] Weather Database

In the good ol' days of my WinMO HD2, a small app was created by a helpful XDA-er to make it possible to add locations (such as mine) that apparently 'don't exist' when trying to add them to the stock weather widget. I seem to be having the same problem with my new Sensation - apparently 'Kettering' in the UK doesn't exist. The weather app finds it when I'm *in* Ketteirng by using GPS, but I can't seem to add it as a location when I'm elsewhere
Anyone know if there's an app, or a fix, that will allow me to add my home town?>
Thanks guys

I think it requires root to edit the database

Think I'll bump this, seeing as we now have root!
I'd love to add other places too...any solutions anyone?

If it was working properly before the update, then uninstall the update and reboot. This should straighten things out.
We can't be more helpful without more information, specifically the device you are using.
Good luck!!
