Twitter tab Touchflo3d

I'd really like if there was a twitter tab for touchflo3d on the TP2, like on the HTC Hero (android).... Is there someone who has this already done. Or is there something in development?

If you add the Touchflo Detacher application you can set the Touchflo3D soft key to open up your Twitter client. That's what I've done.

I agree. A Twitter tab would be nice!

Use Manila Today Page (MTP) and find a twitter app that has a today plugin.

Find a programmer willing to do so. Otherwise, you can't.

Apparently it is, according to HTC. They're planning on porting the Sense UI to WinMo which in turn means the TP2 should definitely get it. I hope so anyway as it looks to work pretty well on the Hero.
To digress for a second, however, I would like to be able to assign a Twitter client to one of the tabs (I use Pocketwit) but I suspect there may be more to it than simply creating a tab. I would've thought it would involve tweaking the app itself to render properly in TouchFLO and there are quite a few Twitter apps out there at the moment.
I could be very wrong but that's my tuppence worth.

if all this is being done then does that possibly mean that one day they will release a touchflo without the battery being eaten up so quickly

HTC has never stated that they will be porting the Sense UI to devices like diamond2 and touchpro2..They have said that they will start using the Sense UI on future devices

I plan on working on a twitter tab come august 12 when I get a Touch Pro 2.

twitter tab for 6.5...
pocketwit already does this.. after installed its built in the 6.5 windows default screen under da g's 23025 build.. its ok, but i ran into issues with it.. so this relationship didn't form into what it should've been..
i actually didn't really prove an answer for those interested in using touchflo, but there's some way to enjoy twitter..
so now i'm in love with tiny twitter as it uses the entire screen.. i just do without the auto notifications.

yeah, sorry the twitter tab is only for titanium http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3693803&postcount=1

IM plugin in HTC Sense UI

Hello everyone! I've got a question for you. How difficult would it be to make a plugin tab for the HTC Sense UI for a chat client? as of lately they've been putting tabs for everything (facebook, twitter, at&t on other phones, etc). Could it be a reality?
Thanks in advance

That would be pretty cool. I second this idea.

Would be awesome, but can we do it? Never saw any custom Manila tabs.

But then who made the operator tabs? Did HTC make it for them?

Hi!
I don't know of a cab, but it is not a very good twitter client - because the database is never cleaned out, and gets bigger and bigger!
So you are probably better off using one of the many other twitter clients, although I haven't used enough to recommend which to use... if you do try some, please share your experiences

0o i see but i like the interface lolz
okay i think i'll dump the idea of finding back the integrated HTC twitter ..... im currently thinking of using moTweets instead ... i havent bought it but i'll be buying it soon =D

Getting Sense UI Widgets on Nexus One, Like Bookmarks

Hey guys. I'm wondering if it's possible to get some of the very nice looking HTC Sense Widgets on our Stock, or Vanilla 2.2 Phones. I have a N1 running CM6.1 Nightly and I'd love some Sense UI Widgets.
Yes I have Beautiful Widgets, and that is nice. But I'm looking for stuff like there Bookmarks Widget, and there Calls or Call Log, and the People Widget, or things like those. Is this possible? I love the bookmarks widget on Sense, that is one of the main things I want. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Impossible to get the actual widgets on stock android...however you can download LauncherPro and pay for the plus features and it comes with a slew of sense style widgets (resizable too so IMO better)
and for ADW Launcher there are free and paid widgets u can download from the market which work well with it.

I wonder why we can't extract the widgets from Sense.. that sucks.
and I've never gave Launcher Pro an honest try, so maybe I should check it out. but ADW is integrated into CM6. I've looked on the market. There doesn't seem to be any good Bookmark Widgets out so that might be a no go. But thanks!

the launcher pro plus is the way to go...yes it isn't free but it is well worth it. LauncherPro itself doesn't support widgets, the paid version does though it is available thru the app and not thru the market.

just the extra's. I'll be looking into it now I guess. Thanks!

For every post on the forum someone will respond "USE THE SEARCH FEATURE, THATS BEEN ASKED ALREADY" - I think that was the point of his question as it was worded, "...can u lead me to" - not to mention the person who types that response almost never includes the helpful link to the question being asked - I ask "why is that?" Comeon helpful forum community be helpful - for the record I've only once used the search feature n found what I was looking for - this is way too much information to be sorted this old way - SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO A NIGHTLY BUILD FOR THIS FORUM

I use the Twitter, Facebook and Calendar widgets in Launcher Pro Plus and they're great.
You won't be disappointed in the purchase.

This is because HTC widgets rely on large chunks of HTC framework, "melted" among AOSP code. The way to go would be to backport some of it back into AOSP, AND largely modify the widgets to make them not rely as much on Sense. Highly impractical.
If I recall correctly, adding HTC widgets was tried by people online on ADW on HTC phones, and it wouldn't work because you cannot use them outside of the HTC Sense launcher.

For the call log, get the last call widget. Tapping the left will open up the whole call log, and on the right you can make a direct call back.
For the people widget, give picture dial a try.

picture dial is the way to go...

Launcher Pro
I'm running completely stock and Launcher Pro is the best all in one solution I've found. I paid for the full version have not regretted it. There are several very useful Sense-like widgets (Bookmarks, Calendar, Facebook, Twitter, Friends [which is all your social networking feeds in one], Messaging, People [which is your contacts]). It also allows your homescreens to rotate to landscape, gives you a customizable and scrollable dock. I also find that it scrolls much more smoothly than the stock launcher.
Well worth the purchase price.

Dialer one is almost an exact replica of the sense dialer FWIW and free.

That's a pretty blunt way of saying things. You telling me you can prove he stole the code from htc and htc is taking so damn long to pull a cease and desist?
And he's currently rewriting the code from scratch so it should be a different beast altogether in the next version.

Cease and desist between two countries with loose IP laws? That's a waste of time.
Look at his earlier .apks you'll find HTC assets in the res folder that have nothing to do with the launcher at those points. *oops*

Sense Alternatives

I don't know if ICS or JB with Sense will ever come to the DHD. But the reason I have never stuck with another ROM other than Android Revolution HD is because I end up missing Sense.
When people do change to a non-Sense ROM (haha, nonsense), what are you using for:
Friendstream alternative. With FS, I get both my twitter and FB feeds in one convenient widget. And I like how when a tweet has a link, if I click on the tweet, I can read the tweet and link all within FS. I don't get that with Android Pro Widget or Launcher Pro widget.
Calendar. The HTC calendar is so clean looking. I like the monthly view on a whole screen.
SMS. I know there are alternatives but many look so cartoony, not the clean interface of the HTC version.
But probably Friendstream is the big one. What are people doing?
Thanks.

DHD will be getting official ICS before the end of August
Good to see you're ditching Sense (less eyecandy: more RAM free & better performance), not sure if we have something like FS, maybe rip it from a sense ROM and install it?
Sent from my Desire HD using Swype beta for Android!

How to get a Friendstream apk? Would that install on any rooted phone?
Also, I forgot to mention a key app. Mail. The mail interface on Sense is nice and clean. On some of these other apps, like K-9, it's not as nice looking. Also, I need features like auto-BCC all emails. And what I like about Sense Mail is I have two mail accounts, one Yahoo, one POP, and both homescreen icons actually tell me how many new mails there are. What's the mail app everyone is using when they switch away from Sense?

You can't. FS requires a Sense framework to run at all. If it were that easy, someone would've done it already.

A replacement for Friendstream.. Here are a couple:

- HootSuite
- Tweetdeck

Yup - FS is hard to do without. However... check out APW widgets. The pro version has a friendstream widget which is a perfect replacement. The non-pro you have to have separate twitter and facebook. The calendar widget is also the best sense replacement I have found.
I'd stick with sense, but have a DZ so sense eats up too much RAM.

What I miss most in non-Sense roms is actually the camera. I tried and bought several other camera apps (360 camera, Zoom FX), but none seem as fast or polished as the Sense camera app. Especially with regard to focussing. It autofocusses on faces or otherwise just in the center, but you can always overrule it with tap-to-focus. I haven't found this in any other camera (yet?)
perhaps its just that I have become accustomed to that camera app.
for me, that is the only app that keeps dragging me back to sense roms.

Miui has nice style and good cam, too and runs like a kitten on crack :cyclops:
Even though,in my opinion, Miui is no competition to latest ics/jellybean vanilla feeling.

I like Sense for Calendar, Mail, and (mosttly) intuitive dialler. Maybe except mail, no replacements. Therefore, Sense ROMs.

Every time I try switching I keep coming back. The simple Email icons for my two email addresses, it shows the number of NEW messages. I tried Kaiten Mail and the ugly mail icon (looks like a fire hydrant), shows UNREAD messages. The problem with Unread messages is that for my POP email address, I read on my computer, or my phone. So my POP email on my phone is basically all Unread. So the icon shows me 99 Unread all the time. Useless. I just want to see NEW messages, and that's what my simple Sense 3.5 does. Sense is just better.
For Friendstream, if I click a tweet with a link to an article, the article opens up in Friendstream. With other apps like Android Pro Widgets, you have to click the link to the article and open up your browser. Grrrrrr.
