Love my new Focus, but.... - Focus General

I love my new Focus that I bought yesterday, but I would like to know how, and where to download some ringtones? I havent been able to find a spot to do this. please any help would be awesome. Also if anyone could tell me a good twitter app to use that would be awesome. thx so much

As far as I know, you can't currently have custom ringtones.
As for a Twitter client, there's the official Twitter app which I use and find suitable, and the other well received app is Seesmic.

Wish it came in January, or February, but now onto March and still hoping. This should not be a difficult fix for them. Why are they trying to wrap up all these things into one huge update? Faster and smaller releases would do a lot for this new OS.

Yes, that would be awesome! Pl release...
screen rotate has problem when using the Camera + Left button key. It doesn't rotate back to portrait mode. Yes I had the latest build.
Great work! Could you check to see if viewing youtube in high quality mode work for you? Thanks.

Nice work!
Just a question, not that it matters much. The default clock on the home screen is a certain size (small), but if you add a new one via widgets menu, it's a huge clock. Is it suppose to be like that, or is this just a minot detail to be worked out later?
It seems I am an idiot. I can't figure out what Extended Drawer is actually doing.. :\

I'm always up for testing new versions, though it might be less stressful to hold off and release a fixed version (as much as I hate waiting).
If you do decide to release a version that doesn't have everything working, you might want to note that in the file name.
Example: mssmison_rogers_system_(MARKET_NOT_WORKING).img
That way there is no excuse for ridiculous whining and complaining.
I'm quite happy you came back mssmison. I'm also glad that you noted you were taking off some tonight so I didn't sit up all night anxiously awaiting the new great release.
Would it be a simple deal of switching the system files to download an app from market and then switch back, or is it more than just the system file and would you have to delete widgets to go back and forth? If I just had to change out system files to get a market app no problem, or find the .apk to download and install it.
Does that mean flash and the differen't profiles to choose for your screens and perspectives? Maybe a list of what it does have working would be easier, or just figure it out ourselves when it's released. I'm quite excited
Thanks for all your work
First I'd like to thank you for all your hard work and dedication. I haved used many build's before yours and all are good to their own part. I am having trouble with Android the last couple of days, I cannot receive calls but am able to call out. Any Idea what may be the problem. I was using vilords build and had this same problem, tried yours to see if it could be fixed. Thank you again and good luck with your future builds, I will be looking forward to testing them.
hey just wanted to give a heads up not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but the calendar will not load for me everytime i try to load it the app crashes.

Unfortunatly no, the rogers builds only work with data.img that are created by them. The builds are quite different.

Try a fresh data file. If it still does it report back with the logcat data.

i'd like to test the hero if you need. i've wanted to see the sense ui for a long time. i keep checking to see if you posted it yet. i'm excited. can you install programs from the .apk's?
Umm, im using your new build and just for fun, i tried marketplace...it seems to work for me, I downloaded shopsavvy and successfully installed it.

He's saying that Market doesn't work on the Rogers build (which he hasn't released yet).

Twitter tab numpty?

Am I being a numpty?
In the Twitter tab, I can't see a way of bringing up a list of who I'm following in Twitter.
Is it just me, or is it not actually there?
Ta.
Ha no I can't find that option either. So no, you're not alone
I just wanted to tweet @ somebody, and can't figure out how! Guess it's back to having a seperate app
Yeah same problem here. Although I'm a WM6.5 n00b so if you find a decent Twitter app that works well can you let me know what it is??
Cheers.

I was using Panoramic moTweets on my HD, and that was great. I tried a few others, and they're all pretty much the same, but I'd recommend that.
There's a free version with an add at the top of your tweets list, or a paid version that was only a few dollars.
http://www.panoramicsoft.com/mobileapps/motweets/moTweets.php
I think it's now available on marketplace as well, but I'd never recommend that piece of poo until you can install on your storage card as standard!
I'll give it a whirl, great stuff, thanks.

Is the Eris leak the same as the Legend Leak?

I cant make out the difference. Or are they the same? What does everyone think.
definitely different, performance is quite similar between them though.
No, its different. Legend is cleaner.
i have liked legend better. Kinda wondering how 2.1 for the hero is gonna look like.

But... I already have Friend Stream?!?!?!
My question is, we have several extremely good 2.1 ROMS, based off both Eris and Legend. Why would anyone switch to the actual released ROM? IMHO, I think it's a better idea to let the devs play with the official releases and let them give us something better (as they always do - thanks, guys!)
I havent messed with any legend leaks, but im willing to bet eris is as close as we'll be getting. I hear legend is a bit more dried up, easier to use....user friendly?
Hey, 2.1 was released for the Hero today anyway, right? Jk
Friend Stream defined

Friend Stream is an HTC app that takes advantage of facebook, twitter, and flikr. Since you're linked to all 3 accounts in Legend 2.1, it combines the accounts in one straming app. It kinda looks like the facebook wall, but it's a combination of all activity in all three accounts. More info at HTC's Website. or try it out in DarchLegend 4.2.2.

Froyo to support animated gif

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3422#c151
See comment 151. I wonder why you need a lot of RAM for that. So I guess only the Nexus One and the Milestone and the future high end Android phones will be able to display animated gif.

5.0.6? And in the browser?
Does it support only in the browser? Or will it support it in the gallery too.
I always get those neat forwards...but they always show up as a video and it kind of sucks

The changelog for Cyanogen rom is here: http://github.com/cyanogen/android_vendor_cyanogen/blob/eclair/CHANGELOG
Looks like he took Google's source and added it to the browser, but it doesn't say anything about animated .gifs in mms's

Oh well i just remember I came from Cricket and a samsung messenger (I didn't need a smartphone back then) and it always looped the gif, and played it in the gallery. I kind of miss that lol.
They work perfectly in the browser. Don't know about just normal gallery..

I rooted day one.
I will likely never run another rom other then the one from Google.
I played the whole rom game on Windows Mobile and it never made me happy.
I'm not doing it with my beautiful Nexus One

Then you shouldn't expect the updates at the same rate rooted owners get them, you get major updates fast compared to the likes of iPhone OS and Web OSs

(BUILD)(DISCONTINUED)Mau5-HD2-V1-Tron-Like-Theme(Dec-21-2010) (Hastarin 8.5.3 Oldcam)

Hey guys, Biff here. I happened upon a theme a few weeks ago that I really really liked. I don’t often do themes or porting of them and release them, but we don’t have this on the HD2 and I felt compelled to do so. I went ahead and checked with @ChrisSoyars @ackprash and @wootroot and they gave me the go ahead. So I’m honored to present to you Mau5 for the hd2. By no means is it perfect, but I think its good enough to release. Anyways, you likely voided you warranty long ago, so if your phone explodes… NOT IT!
*Thanks to Cyanogen, google, htcclay, wootroot, chrissoyars, ackprash, htc*
*Testers Brandroid, ChromeDroid, TheRomMistress, Motomudder*
Please note you’ll have to change the clock color yourself via cmparts or grab the xml from www.mau5.net . If you don’t know how to get this to work on your hd2, you shouldn’t be on this page.
*This is based off biffmod-hd2 1.3 with an updated kernel so it should be plenty stable
* I’ve included a transparent dialer/contacts/call log (not present in the original version)
* See www.mau5.net for extras
